Commander at Home #26 - Old Stickfingers vs Narci vs Dihada vs Stangg with Rachel Weeks and AD 

Thanks for having us! This game was a blast, as always. Go, Dihada!

"The artifact I often get is Bolas' Citadel. However a turn 4 Bolas' Citadel felt fucked up" - Rachel Weeks 2024

Oh man, I LOVE Rachel’s energy and humour. The joke about EDH reccing your deck really tickled me. Great game!

Rachel will always be my favorite, but it's too rare that we see her and Aaron at the same table! You guys are awesome!

Aaron when he said "Commander staple....frog tongue". I literally lol'd and everyone in the house looked at me all crazy. Always such a good time on Commander at Home!

Aaron has to be one of my favorite guests. His energy is contagious and he cracks the table up.

Dihada is one of those commanders that it's easy to tell she's good, but hard to tell just HOW good. she feels like she always MASSIVELY overperforms, she never particularly pops off but she is just a constant stream of advantage.

Just wanted to add that this channel has IMHO the best intro. It just feels so homely, cozy, friendly. I really feel invited with my randomly assembled tier level 2/10 deck :D

Well I've decided that this is my favorite Commander show on RU-vid used to be game nights but you guys are putting in way more work than they are

Rachel is my favorite commander player ever! so happy that she's here! Best Commander show ever!

Being in a relationship where we both love playing Magic, I feel Olivia and Brian’s dilemma with Brian just taking cards from stuff Olivia has because he needs it. 😂 Also, crazy Aaron mentioned the 5-color experience counter tribal deck because that’s the exact deck I’m creating right now. It’s gonna be janky af, but it’s gonna be fun.

"The same thing that happens to everything else" is one of my favorite lines in any movie XD Apparently Toad in the movie was supposed to have this gimmick where he just spouted off facts about toads, which would have made Storm's line make more sense. They decided to cut all of that but still leave Storm's line for who knows what reason

I JUST built a Stangg deck because Rachel talked about her SO's Stangg deck in a Command Zone podcast episode a while back! So cool to see Rachel and Stangg in a video

I love this show! The emphasis on how much you enjoy playing the game together really comes through and makes it so much fun to watch.

Just a beautiful beautiful intro song. Brings up so much emotion.

Such a good feeling to open up youtube and seeing a new video uploaded... took lunch from work early already to enjoy accordingly... awesome vids 😊

for those who're insane like me, this episode was recorded presumably a little before magiccon las vegas in late september, meaning odds are next episode we're likely out of the actor's strike era of commander at home!

I see Brian Kibbler I click. Excited to see Stickyfingers. I was inspired by him to build him recently. I think yall are my fav edh channel, keep pumping out content!

This game made me sign up for their Patreon. I truly love how they pull back the curtains and show how much fun magic can be with their silly interactions. Thank you Commander at Home 🙏🏼

“Is Xenagos a real boy?” 41:10 Definitely gotta use that when I have devotion stuff on the field 🤣

"A turn 4 Bolas's Citidel felt *fucked up*" I appreciate this sentiment so much. Rachel's the best.

"I could not tell you what pro tour i drafted that in.." "I.. wouldnt ask" 🤣🤣 omg i love the banter between you 2! (mostly olivia towards brian) total couples playing magic goals right there ❤ keep up the great work (and hilarious banter) guys! Love to see it

By far my favorite commander channel. I do enjoy seeing Brian’s deck synergies and hearing about his pro tour experiences with cards he put into his deck

Ah.... Awesome!!! A new episode!!! 😊 Finding you guys recently made me jump back into magic after 5 years and built my very first Commander Deck. I then went and watched the entire backlog. What a laugh its been 😂. COMMANDER DAMAGE MATTERS.... apparently 🤣 keep it up!

@affinityartifacts: I'm glad you and one Brian Kibler decided to upload an episode today. I needed some laughs, as my Mom lost her doggo at 12:30 EST today: An elderly boy named Bear who was a long-haired Dachsie. Bear was 17 years old, so he had a long life.

Your theme music and intro is so wholesome. I actually get the warm and fuzzies every time ❤

I built a Stangg, Echo Warrior deck after Rachel mentioned it was underrated and I have to say. It is my favorite gruul deck I have ever built, it's insane how much damage he can swing for AND duplicate😮

Lovely episode! Really enjoy both Rachel and Aaron. The whole table's vibe this episode seemed really good.

I love this channel soooo much. The banter, the laughs, the decks, the consistency of the videos, Ben Brode, the DOGS. Everything is just so great.

Currently building a mardu deck (Malik) and I've considered dihada. So happy to see it played today!

16:15 The reason that line is there is that in an earlier draft of the script, that Toad guy was saying Toad facts in every scene he was in. Without that context it’s a punchline with no setup, but they left it in because they couldn’t cleanly cut it out.

It's wild to me that nobody ever acknowledges the Wu Tang reference Brian makes practically every episode lol

Agreed! I’m enjoying yur Content A lot! I’ve repeat watched some of the older episodes too!

love the energy of you guys its why i keep coming back to watch, but Dang i just built my own Stangg deck and this episode comes out xD

Yeah, that joke from the X-Men movie was from an early draft written by Joss Whedon. Apparently there was going to be a reason for it as it was directed toward Toad, but nearly everything Whedon wrote was written out through later drafts.

Always a pleasure to watch you guys play, you guys are awesome.

This was a fantastic episode! I really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Great Episode. Gave me 2 great deck ideas and upgrades. Keep up the great work guys!!!!!

omg yes old stickfingers back at it again! I actually got the deck IRL because of Brian! But a buget version that is, but it does rock and i learn new mechanics everyday so im very gratefull for finding this channel and the decklist, its brings me alot of joy to play it :)

You guys are amazing. I love this type of play.

You guys have inspired me to make so many decks. Thank you for your great content

Always love some commander at home !!!

I really enjoy Commander At Home. Never miss an episode. 😊👏

love the final showdown. Two GOATs! Weeks vs Kibler

Dihada is one of my favorite commanders. Tons of ways to build it too considering it's just legendary tribal!

All your videos are great! Thanks

God I love these so much! On my off time between my 8th graders lunch these bring me so much dumb happiness ! It’s like being at my local TCS !!!! Love y’all and the doggos and the salt !!!

25:13 I have one of those! It's Niv-Mizzet Reborn as the Commander, because 7 of the 8 Experience Counter Cards are two-color! It's a lot of fun to play!!

These episodes never fail to make me smile. The energy and banter always makes me laugh and lose it (in a good way)

I'm so glad that Odric and Nahiri showed up. Those were in my first kitchen table deck, and I haven't been able to put them into a deck yet. I need to do that now!

43:45 - Wow, Ellie's such an effective sweeper!

Always love watching kibler play his stick fingers deck cause it shows me all the cards I want for my mycotyrant deck!

Another awesome episode and yet another reminder I need to make a Stickfingers deck 😂 Keep up the good work. One day, I hope to be on your show, one way or another 😂

Fun and silly game. Always a blast either the commander at home crew !!

Was a blast fighting with you at bftr!!!! Always a blast to watch you all play.

Always a treat to watch. I can't believe I forgot about Magda for my own Dihada deck. She's definitely going to find a spot soon.

I cant see enough of the intro, I dont know why! Your place looks like so much fun

You know what they say about a guy with 5 toughness!? He dies to removal!

I always love to see Rachel play magic. It just always seems graceful and seamless :-P I learn every time I watch her play

The Enchantress Precon from Commander Masters is awesome, I do want to upgrade it and then build a deck around Narci.

13:20 Zoom on Ellie. Happiest doggo ever!❤

Always a good time watching commander at home 🙂😊❤

Love commander at home Olivia's energy is very entertaining

I was really hoping to see the Balthor into the ult but am glad Rachel got there in her own way

When there’s a new Commander at Home, it’s a good day

Good game, this is just a fun pod, the Stang deck was my favorite to see. Pleasant way to spend an hour before I go work on my car in a blizzard.

Aaron is such a funny guest, and it’s always amazing to see Rachel :)

I've always liked Sagas, but lately I've been enjoying them even more with the Glissa Sunslayer and a flipped Invasion of Flora. Has made for great effect on more than just the Sagas I use: politicking be joined!

Have not finished the video yet, but I had to say your dog is just perfect. I hope that you guys are together forever because I would never want to see the sadness in that dogs eyes as it misses either of you.

Rachel's story about the spilled cards and everyone collectively trying to help out the person is so indicative of the MtG community. There may be a very few bad apples, but overall, Magic players are so kind. I think if that was a random collection of people they would likely not help like that and probably look to steal what they could get away with.

OHMAHGOODNESS!! Just got to the part when Ellie gets on the table. I wanna cry she's so precious!!

the toad line in X-men makes a lot more sense when compiled with other lines that were cut from the final screening. In the original pre-cut, Toad's motif is that he asks several rhetorical questions, which would turn Storm's line into more of a mocking jest that a weird one-off zinger

5:02 that is such an onpoint impression of Stans sister Shirley from Southpark lol

The intense "snap" that comes from Brian revealing cards from the top of his library is a low key flex 😂🤣

I run Lae’zel in my Dihada too, way before the video game was on my radar, and Lae’zel is nearly always in my party in BG3 now. I’m also super happy I bought 4 Karlach back then too.

18:05 Best line of the episode!

25:23 I literally do have an experience counter tribal deck it’s red/white/black with Kelsien, The Plague as commander though and basically focuses on grinding xp by giving Kelsien deathtouch via any equipment or enchantment that gives it.

I love this channel ! You guys provide a fun and casual manner of gaming that keeps my attention and makes me want to be a better and more positive player since our community can be less positive during games. Love yall and I wish I knew Brian's competitive Ghired so badly😢😢😢😢😢

Rachel's win 🏆 🙌 😎 💪 👏 ❤ 🏆 was great reason being she was one of the champions of gameknights tourneys at Lasvegas.

Came for commander, stayed for table pups!

I love the set! I want to make a play area like that.

Great episode! I hope that at some point you get PMW on here. Now that he is putting out Commander content I'd love to see him here.

I relate so much to Olivia. I can't stop playing enchantress either

If we don't get some Sean plott commander footage soon I'll cry 😂

Great stuff as always

9:47 I use the same sleeves for my decks, because some decks share cards.

Subscribed, liked the video and currently watching.

Love when Rachel is guesting!

I’ve been looking for a mardu list thank you for inspiration

I actually have a Piru deck. It's always fun when big dragon go boom!

Love your content!

I love the old stickfingers deck it’s such a fun deck to play with too

I love the big green dice. Anyone know the brand? Great game and a great time watching as always!

I remember Rachel talking about this Stangg deck and she was right, it's a rly cool deck

Reely nice game !!! Ggs everyone loved all decks

Fblthp in the cup below the shiro poster. Sneaky, because a lot of times when it would be visible with the straight shot down the table, there’s a card in the way

Theres always so much clever synergy in rachels decks. Funny this episode dropped right around the command zone episode where josh and Rachel talk about citadel automatically making your deck an 8.

Love Odric, Lunarch Marshall. Glad to see him be so relevant to a strat.

This is twice I’ve seen stang play (the week of Rachel weeks, as she’s been on several gameplay videos). Seems super fun! Might consider building. Curious is Rachel and AD have the same stang deck that their just sharing?
