we'll drop all right i'm gonna tap one and i'm gonna play a universal automaton then i'm going to pay one and equip the skull clamp to the automaton shouldn't it die well you would think that but

commander sphere all right i play these without paying their mana cost i'll take that commander sphere there you go unfortunately for reap no one of you control any black permanence so i can't do

play an arcane signet then it's i know it's not at all suspicious but i'm gonna pass the turn you don't wanna equip your skull clamp nope go jimmy okay yep definitely not suspicious josh is playing sub optimally um i'm going to at your end step josh tap for a red and a green and signal the clans so i get a tutor for three creature cards with three different names and then choose one at random and it goes into my hand and the rest go into my library sure okay so the three cards i chose are telenolly summoner infernal titan and apex devastator so i'm going to choose one of them at random let's say telling only summoner is one to two inferno titans three or four and apex episode is five and six i got a three so i'm going to put infernal titan into my hand nice and then the rest of these are going to be shuffled back into my library not bad and then i will untap and drop return and in my first main phase i'm going to tap two green and a red and i'm gonna cast jessica's will yeah good call it's really good it's really good so prof you have seven cards in your hand i do so i'm going to add seven red mana and then exile the top three cards in my library and i can play them this turn one two three so i have a hunter's inside a magus of the candelabra and a forest great i will play the forest for my land for turn i'm gonna put these over here see if i want to play them or not you can play them at any point this turn any point yeah okay uh using six of the seven red mana i got from jessica's will i'm gonna cast infernal titan when it enters the battlefield it's gonna do three damage split as i choose amongst one two or three target creatures and or players so i'm going to point one damage each at your fin horned elves sakura tribe elder and reclamation sage ashlyn all right in response i'm going to sacrifice my stefan and i'll find a forest and put it into play top and then the rex sage and other elf will die okay and then i'm going to use my last remaining red mana and tap two on top and cast hunter's insight targeting mine the heb the eternal so when it deals damage you'll draw that minifigure how many cards yeah and then i'll go to combat josh i'm going to swing at you for four damage with nahem i will decline to block hooray so i'll take four going to 29. hundreds inside's going to trigger so i'll draw four cards at the beginning of my second main phase nehab's gonna add four man to my mana pool because of his ability so i have four man from the naheb four lands and radha i'm going to just cast a bunch of stuff and pay it correctly so i'll cast a bagus of the candelabra a magus of the wheel and a clothis god of destiny yeah so i'm just going to tap all my stiffs for the clothes is it online yeah i have more than seven devotions oh so it's a four five indestructible nice it can block and that's it come at me ashlynn okay jimmy on your own steps sig triggers so i get to draw a card very nice all right i will untap all of my delicious lands which there are 10 of uh and then life crafter's bestiary will trigger so i will scry don't think i need that we will bottom it and then i will draw for turn all right so cradle only taps for three now yep swamp womp it's just only three times better than a regular land [Laughter] only only all right so first off i'm going to play bigger oh and then i'll play a riverous gear hulk we're gonna put those counters i'm gonna put those counters on toski so tosky is a five five five a four five a fifteen fifteen and a six six and anytime they take damage instead they get plus one plus one counters is that accurate yeah that sums it up pretty well so i'm going to move to combat now yeah might as well find some more cards to cast with that seven mana all right so i'm going to send the beetles at you jimmy and toski and keeper at you josh okay four damage i'm going to tap six and i'm gonna play sweet gum recluse oh which has flash it also has cascade so when i cast it i'm gonna cascade uh so let's see i will get a callous blood mage so i'll cast that when that enters the battlefield i will choose to create a one one pest token and then when sweetgum recluse enters the battlefield i can choose to put three one one counters on each of any number of target creatures that entered the battlefield this turn wow all of them i guess i will choose to put three plus one plus one counters on all of my creatures but i will not put one on vigor or verter's gear hulk all right i'm gonna block both creatures toeski with my sweetgum recluse which is a four seven and i'll block the keeper of fables with my pest which is a five five okay and i'm not to block anything so i'll be taking 15 from your crash beetles you take it all yep okay let's go to damage uh we'll resolve mine first okay they bounce it so it's a four five against a five five normally it would eat your keeper but bigger yep so vigor happens it prevents all that damage and turns them into counters so the keeper is now a 9 10. oh my gosh and this this week on recluse is a 4 6 against towski which is a 5.5 yes so again you just get counters yes toasty's a nine-nine okay that's the tosuke with the moski okay and then i'm gonna take 15 and i'll go to 23. and then you draw two cards because of your keeper fables and tosuke all right and so i'd watching all right and then tap my cradle for five stop my itching tomb for two mana going to 41 and then i'll play my land for turn and i'll play verdant force the game of each upkeep you created one one yes oh my gosh that is a mono green stomping going over there can

the turn draw my card uh vernon force is going to trigger on my upkeep you're going to get another sapper lane i sure am so at the beginning of my pre-combat main phase i can exile a card from a graveyard ashland can i see your graveyard absolutely there you go i'm gonna exile that shamanic revelation because it wasn't the land card i'm gonna gain two life and then cloth is gonna deal two damage to each of you all right i will go to 36. i will go to 36 as well and i will go to 27. uh i'm gonna go to combat yep and ashlynn i'm going to swing inferno tighten at you on attack it will trigger so i'll deal one damage to both of your sapper lings both separate lanes will die and the third damage is going to go to your face i'll take one i'm going to 35. okay blocks i'll block with verdant force okay uh i'm gonna pay one red mana and pump it plus one plus oh so it's gonna become a seven six and then it will trade with your verdant force so they both die yep all right okay one thing down all right on my second main phase the head's gonna trigger you have all lost two each and one extra from the inferno tent so i'm going to gain seven extra man into my mana pool i'm gonna use two of that mana to tap and sacrifice the magus of the wheel so everyone's gonna wheel away their hand and draw seven cards all right discard our hands and draw seven discard and draw seven okay nice there are a lot of lands that i keep throwing yeah i'm happy with that i'll play my land for turn uh burgeoning will trigger and i will also play a land well i'm just gonna do it i'm going to tap all my lands and add five from the heb and i'm going to cast shatter skull smashing for 13. so you're gonna throw 26 damage around yeah 26. so i'm going to put 15 damage onto the crash of beetles and 11 damage onto the keeper of fables no i didn't think red could pull off killing those creatures ever but yeah we did it you proved me wrong okay well i crashed of rhino beetles and keeper of fables die down to one creature one little tosky no longer a threat over here but we should kind of finish her off just so she doesn't come back wow uh and that's gonna wrap it up for me so past turn to you ashlynn sounds good sig triggers at the end of your turn because ashlynn lost three life okay draw for sig all right ashlyn go for it all right i have a lot of lantern on top so i'm just gonna fix it all i will drop her turn all right so i'm going to tap two and play black blade reforged how many lambs you have uh-huh 14. oh my gosh it's massive uh and then i'm going to equip the statoski so toeski is how big now uh 23-23 and that's her commander so pretty much anyone she ever hits with it is dead that's a good point don't make it unblockable please all right josh tosky's coming at you then yep um your box yep i'll block with my commander blex vexing pest sounds good okay blex will definitely die finally finally when it dies thank goodness for the new commander rule change i get the dice trigger and i can draw two off skull clamp so i will take no damage great and i will draw no cards ah so when my commander dies i'll gain four life and go to 31. and then i'll play rampaging baylos oh rampaging bayless has trampled don't it yes yes it does oh that's nice oh dear and then i will pass her in well i will untap everything i need to draw a card for the turn i'm gonna go ahead and play a city of brass virginia trigger i will put a forest into play poof which triggers rampaging baylos landfall which gives me a 4 4 beast now this deck is called sig with swords and ashland that is a really nice sword you have there and i think sig wants it so i am going to go ahead and tap a blue a generic adding two for x which is the converted mana cost of your black blade reforged and i'm casting a thieving skydiver kicked for two oh that's cool oh i don't like that at all i love it you just skipped a seven man that attached cost sword please so i'm then going to spend three i take one damage from the city of brass going to 35 and i'm moving that black blade reforged over to my legendary sig river cut throat making sig 9 power 11 toughness wow move to declare attackers oh i'm going to attackers ashland with my 911 sig river cutthroat and my vigor okay i will blah sig with the beast and i'll take the six all right you take six from your own vigor why do you keep hitting yourself i get a 29. six gonna get four counters from that damage thanks to my vigor sig gets bigger because of the trigger from vigor it sure does so it's a 13 15 15 yeah wow i passed to josh and draw a card for sig from the damage but that puts me at eight cards so i'm going to discard a surefooted infiltrator all right i will untap i will draw i'm gonna play a swamp for turn then i'm going to tap six and i'm going to play kodama of the east tree our old friend then i'm gonna go and equip my skull clamp to my callus blood mage then i don't think i can attack here so i'm just gonna pass a

your graveyard and that's gonna deal two damage to each opponent and i'll gain two life going to 27. i'll go to 27. i'll go to 29. i'll go to 33. i'll play a care keep for the turn i am going to skip combat i don't want to swing at anyone right now uh and now go to my second main phase i will add six additional mana because of the heb i will use two of that mana to tap my care keep and make myself a little cobalt and then i'm gonna use one mana from the head to untap my care key i'm gonna use two more of the mana from the head to re-tap my care key and make another cobalt really doing big things over here everyone broken so i still have one mana from the hab remaining but i have nothing to do with it so i will pass turn to you ashland okay untapping the giant swath of lands i have and

five more times wow you have seven right now i have seven right now it's going to cost me three to cast it so i'll get down to four and then i'm gonna do it five more times each time gaining a net of

recovery seven red and two green floating i'll get jessica as well back into my hand i'm gonna recast jessica's will so i'll get another seven red mana i'll exile the top three cards in my library you've got eleven red and two green floating okay and then i'm gonna spend two red man to cast tillanelli summoner okay you got nine red left uh and then i will spend my own mana here one two three four five to cast the elder oh my gosh i'll use my floating man to cast gram warlord rada i'm going to tap all my lands and use the rest of my mana so that's 12 total and i'm gonna cast finale of

did it and it was a big combat it was a big swing it's how i like to end games that was a complicated final turn yeah very complicated my brain still hurts even after recording it but i'm glad we went but you know what playing with prof has to be one of my favorite things ever because he doesn't come down to the town very often but when he's here he's such a bright bright light in the office and we also got to record that incredible ad with him too oh yeah the one for raycon yeah that was really really fun yeah it's always great to have profit town he's a good friend of ours and always fun to see him at the table a lot of shenanigans always occur uh before we let everybody go here just a reminder our game nights themed deck box this is the first time we've ever done anything like that it is on kickstarter right now but the time is running out there's only a few days left in the kickstarter also it's limited supply we only made a certain amount of them so it could sell out even before the kickstarter ends yeah and we're really dedicated to making high quality products here at the command zone and this deck box is amazing it's got such solid magnetic clasps on it this thing is never coming apart it's the best deck box that ultra pro makes also has the game nights logo and for me i'm about to start traveling more and bringing commander decks and keeping them secure is a huge priority so this deck box guarantees that those cards are gonna be safe and sound and it fits double sleeve commander decks so it's gonna fit two of my decks and like 50 of josh's i i was just thinking i hope we saved enough so that you and i are going to get a couple oh that's a good point they are limited quantity we only have these amount to sell and once they're gone they are just straight up gone we're not gonna be selling them again so kickstarter it's gonna end soon in fact if it already ended already you're gonna feel bad so make sure you click that link in the show more

What a great stack when Josh tried to stop Jimmy! Shows the pure utility of deflecting swat. Ashlen's deck was really humming, burgeoning is probably one of the best T1 plays in commander.

Prof's deck was king bling though. The art on the invention Fe&Fa is fantastic!

[u/Override9636]

Lol, of course The Professor is playing merfolk

[u/karanok]

This was probably one of my favorite ET matches, all of which I like a whole lot better than GK matches.

The professor is a great guest, Ashlen always brings exciting decks, and I love battles on the stack way more than on the battlefield, so that penultimate turn was a lot of fun to watch. I wish my decks could pop off half as much as Jimmy's did.

[u/thatJainaGirl]

Extra Turns is so much better than Game Knights. I can only take so many redundant talking heads before I just want to see more Magic cards

[u/currentlyonthepooper]

Fun episode, one of my favorites in recent ones

[u/GregOlinovich]

I love episodes when everyone pops off in their own way. Great game.

[u/Dungeonmasterryan1]

Looking forward to this after how disappointing the AFR one was

[u/Rhaisteld]

Always a treat to have prof on Game Knights, hope we see it again next time he visits California.

[u/thermonolith]

IMO I think prof missed the opportunity to say "Sygg gets big off the trig from vig".
