the "let's all help the new player kill us" turn was so wholesome

I can't totally explain, but Brian coming in to fill Prof's glass was my favorite part of the video. Funny, wholesome, and gentlemanly all in one gesture

I loved how once Aims was struggling with the stack everyone helped her out. That was the highlight of the game . That's what I love about EDH

At this point I am convinced Professor has only 4 decks in his personal collection 1. Teysa, Orzhov Scion 2. Brion, Stoutarm 3. Geist of Saint Traft 4. Sliver Overlord

Olivia having their guests' favorite drinks, call that Elder Dragon Hospitality.

"well then, my cup runneth dry". That line got me good lol

At @43:00, helping Aims cuz it IS CASUAL, is classy, wholesome and content that should be spread amongst the community.

Can I just say how much it warms my heart when you guys stopped to make sure Aims got all her triggers right? Helping out new(ish) players to a complex game like MtG is so needed and is how we get more people into it. Have a good day, drink some water.

I love the professor absolute crown of “you will respect me! Wait why is no one respecting me?”

If I had a nickel for every time Olivia gave an opponent Vigilance and it went ignored, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

FYI Sword of Feast and Famine is not target player discards, it's the player who was dealt combat damage by it.

Aims just discarding plansewalkers because they stress them out was way too funny haha.

Lovely to see Aims playing with y'all again. I'm glad that she's enjoying MTG so far, and even more glad that she has a good group of people to learn to play with! Keep it up!

The midgame pause to boost up the new player was entirely too sweet. Great episode, way to be!

I really appreciate how you guys helped Aims make the best play possible when she was a little overwhelmed. The whole joy of MTG is learning a super complex game in an environment that doesn't treat you like an idiot if you need help. Thank you guys for being awesome! 🎉

The numbers of * Quacks * in this episode is hilariously high ahahah. The wholesomeness is even higher! This is a really cute episode! Love it

Nice to see award winning Science educator and "Brian Kibler if he was an intern" Kyle Hill made a cameo

This was the most wholesome game I’ve seen!! “Let’s help each other” and “help the new players” is what magic should be about!! Don’t always be a try hard people!!

"Eh, that seems kinda mean at this point. So that's why I'm gonna do it". Comedy gold!

!Rules Police Alert! 27:22 Since Sram and Eriette don't share a creature type, Olivia can't tap both of them to remove the Hydra with Weight of Conscience.

39:47 Aims: "I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further."

There are few things that are inevitable: life, death, and The Professor taking out Eilidh in every recorded commander game they’ve ever been in together.

I love that yall helped Aims triggers with that mono green beast of a deck ! Shows the true spirt of commander 🙏❤️

a lot of folks are (rightfully) praising y'all for taking the step back to help Aims work through all the hilariously over the top triggers she stacked up, but I really wanna highlight Olivia and Eilidh not only doing that but also going "Hey, this can seem really stressful, but take a sec. No one is in a rush." Obviously helping through the game helps, but acknowledging how crazy of a game Commander can be AND helping someone have a good time. top notch! Class act.

I don't want to be that guy but Last March of the ents let's you put any creature cards from your hand on the battlefield. So Aims could have kept the hydra and the apex devastator in hand for later. But I absolutely loved watching you guys help out and clarify stuff for Aims

I'm a new magic player.. it would be so amazing to have this group of amazing people teach me Magic ❤😊

Hearing the actual origin story from Prof of 'reading the card explains the card' made my day :D

Always fun to watch you guys play ^^ I do note though that Olivia tends to forget her EOT trigger from her commander ; that missed life drain WILLend up mattering at some point ;)

As a feme magic player who had to fight the try hards to learn and didn’t do cool stuff because it was overwhelming it’s so cool to see y’all help Aims with the cool stuff ❤

8:37 Olivia missed Eriette trigger at the end of her step for Aims owning the aura on her Omnath👍

Oh man, I wish I had a group of peeps to play commander with like you all. My friend got me into the game like 5 months ago and we've only played like less than 10 games and the friends I play with, lately tend to only be available to play on Saturday nights but it's so late we usually only play 1 game unless one of them gets too tired and is falling asleep while we're playing where we then don't even finish a game. I've also only played 1 game of 4 person commander which was the first game. Every other time it's only been 3 players. I've had to fill my void by watching shows like this. My favorite is Commander At Home. I believe it has the best balance of production quality and pure shenanigans. Even though, the command zone is "the one people know" I find it's too "something" and not just constant laughs like Commander At Home, Shuffle Up & Play, and this show when it's in person (I much prefer the in person shows. So much so, I just can't enjoy watching the games that aren't in person).

I’m a big fan of seeing you all work together to help Aims through the win. Professor is in my generation and shares a favorite whiskey, nice! I’ll admit that my biggest motivator to watch was the in-person episode. Glad you made the flight over.

Proff kept tapping mana even though the paladin said it costs 0

Smokey: Bowmore 15 YRS - Jura: Seven Wood - Spey Fumare Cask Strength Non Smokey: Glenfidditch 14 Bourbon Barrel - Balvenie 14 Caribbean Cask - Glengoyne Legacy Series - Chapter Three Strong: Aberlour a'bunahd Cask Strength *EDIT: just spaced it out

Seconds into this and I'm really just so in awe of you all. From you amazing ladies from hijinks to the command zone to Tolarian community college, Gavin, spice8rack... the list goes on. All absolutely amazing people who spread much happiness and joy in the world. I'm always just as excited to watch any and all of you play commander as I am with my favourite tv shows weekly episode releases but with that extra feel good factor you all bring. Kind people meeting up, having a great time together and the vibes are contagious. Love it 🥰

I know that in the end it didn't matter because that finisher was brutal, but Weight of Conscience says the two creatures that are tapped have to share a creature type. The two creatures that were tapped were Eriette Human Warlock and Sram Dwarf Advisor. I doubt her having the mana gorger would have mattered, but still feels bad.

This, Commander at home, and Shuffle up and play make me so happy. You all show what playing commander is about. So much fun and good jokes, good people. I love this content!

I love the positive vibes especially around helping a newer player. I've been in similar situations where there are so many things going on and it's been stressful, so this is lovely to see. Keep up the excellent work EDHijinks

Another triumphant episode! Always a joy to see the Professor, and Ames was a delight. ALL PRAISE THE ALGORITHM

This was wholesome and lovely. Thanks so much for this episode

professor forgot that enchantùent gave his monster vigilance 'read the card understand the card' :D xD

I love the full size picture of the dog on the wall.

I love watching Aim's learn the format while learning to love the format so wholesome. Hope you bring her and other newbies on to this and the Commander at home channel more.

So many duck sounds. Reminds me of our park walks.

45:10 worth noting, Last March of the Ents doesn't force you to play all creatures. She could have kept back the x cost hydra so it wouldn't die, and the devistator so she could get the 4 cast triggers, she had the mana in her pool to make it work sitll, and will get more from the cobra triggers.

My first time viewing this channel. Great game! Love the relaxed vibe. I’ll definitely go check out Prof taking out Alias in those other ones now 😂.

Love this episode so much. Love that you all encourage the rule of cool. Do the fun thing, the big cool thing. Also thanks Olivia for showcasing Eriette. I now want to build a version with cards like Dragon Shadow, Spirit Link, Minion's Return and Bestow creatures. Thank you everyone for an excellent game/episode.

I love when Aims discovers something new with Magic. It's something that I'm losing with all the years I've played, the new player's capacity for wonder.

You know this channel has a real good financing when they bring a Hall of Fame just to server alcohol to a guest. I love this.

Ah Elder Dragon Hijinks, a place where kindness and wholesomeness meets fuckery in the highest order. Cheers to all four of you. I hope you’re all doing well. ❤

Omnath Locus of mana is the first commander i built my own deck around. I don't attack with him much, i just love floating and exponentially multiplying mana and then splurging on big green dudes. My favourite cards to make the most of it would be doubling cube > voracious hydra > windswift slice > elvish warmaster > overwhelming stampede. Throw in zopandrel, ghalta, craterhoof, the terrasque, numerous wurms and hydras and it's like attack on titan when the wall was breached the first time.

Great game !!! Embracing the whole concept of the commander.

The commander purity of the gamble makes my heart grow three times ❤

I loved this game! It made ma laugh audibly way too many times! 😂 my favorite game yet!

That “let’s help the new-ish player” turn was great! Love to see it!!

I saw this thumbnail and said Elder Dragon Hell Yeah!

Wholesome moment alert, wholesome moment alert!!! Awesome everyone helped Aims. This is how MTG and Commander should be for new players.

The water like effects are on point, I dig it 🤙🏼

Prof, you might want read your Puresteal paladin, it would explain that you may draw a card whenever you cast an aura or equipment. It hurt me to the core for every draw you missed that game, all of them

I played the Merfolk precon yesterday and I have upgraded it only slightly and its actually really powerful. the explore mechanic is really good. fun fact about the cultivator colossus, it goes infinite with abundance... or... well, you get all your lands out of your deck so after that you draw all gas, really good.

Top notch hospitality from the house! ;D

Engagement comment for the love. Nothing better than seeing people at the table helping the new player.

great game, great vibes, man loves this channel

Love the EDHijinks at Home vids. Guessing that they are harder to organise than the regular (people appearing remotely) vids, but they are always a treat.

Love to see Prof in commander games. He's just a pro entertainer. Also Sword of Feast and Famine's trigger causes the player that was hit to discard the card, it's not target player.

I love the turn where everyone helped Aims with her massive turn. Makes it feel like a fun friendly game at home!

Currently in the process of building eriette stoked to see how this goes.

Yes! Keep it up! Supporting new players is how we stay true to the spirit of the game.

I have never seen someone play green Omnath on one of these channels before, it's a ton of fun and my first deck too, I still have an upgraded one and play it regularly, I was very happy to see that, respect the jelly bean!

Just found this video today! This was AWESOME! Way to go all.

My favorite whisky is the "Hibiki Harmony" ! Very smooth and a very complex and long aftertaste

I'm new to magic, I just love your videos. Please, keep them coming...

This was a very wholesome game. Glad to see other people encouraging and helping the new-ish player.

I loved seeing Aims in the show, hope to see her again! The Prof was great as usual. Thank you Eilidth and Olivia, EDHijinks keeps getting better and better!

Well, I already have an Academic from the kickstarter but never enough deckboxes, right? Right. Fun game guys - love the energy you always bring to your games. There's shit talking galore, but all in good fun~

Awesome game! Great to see Aims here as well. I am a new player is great to see new players play awesome!!

I was just looking on how to brew a functional eriette. I'm happy :D

OMG Aims with the Prof?! Amazingly fun episode. Especially fun to watch as a casual MtG player.

Love group. EDH never really misses when it comes to guests but this one's great. Been watching Aims since she started playing with DrLupo and she's grown a lot as a player. Of course Olivia is awesome, one of the coolest people I've ever met, and Eilidh is right there with her. And Prof. Well he's Prof lol always fun to watch and listen to.

We've all been where Aims was when we were new. Gotta love seeing players help players.

So pumped to see Aims back!!

Watching The Prof’s eyes gradually disappear was great! 😂😂

I just build an Omnath Locus of Mana deck myself so ik who I am going to root for in this episode. such a fun commander you can build in many different ways!

That "help aims" moment was so wholesome.

@43:18, Olivia and Eili being too damn wholesome. Wish more of the community was like this (I was never hazed for playing Magic, by Magic players yet opponents were never this kind either)

Love that moment when everyone helps Aims. Reminds me of when i was new and people at the LGS whom ive never met helped me out. That's whats beautiful about the commander format. Magic has some funny card effects and also some horrendously EVIL effects and synergy, but when everyone comes together for the new players to make them the biggest threat on the board so they can learn how to use their own decks is what makes commander so special. Also i love how everyone has accepted doing this for new players as an unwritten rule. No one is forced to help the new players but instead we WANT to help them in fact we JUMP at the opportunity to do so. It puts the word gathering in Magic the Gathering. Commander is definitely the way rhis game was always meant to be played.

awesome episode, i love to see you, love to see the Proff and love to see Aimz learning and enjoying the game

Awesome game as always. Loved the green creature vomit that happened. The joke from Prof about temur was so hilarious.

One of the best episodes again. You guys are crushing it ❤. Also Alias soundboard is a work of art 😄. Always love the soundeffects 😁. The hospitality the wholesomeness. This episode had it all 💕

Watching this episode drnking a Laphroaig islay single malt. Cheers Prof !

Mono green Omnath was my first ever commander deck (And I still use it.), seeing it here and hearing that it was one of the Prof's first makes me happy.

Her noises and grunts are awesome! 😆😆

LOOOOVE the vibe in this episode

Blantons is one of my favorite bourbons. Fun game to watch EDHijinks team!

These videos are so fun to watch. I'm new to magic and I only know what's going on like 20% of the time. But it's cool to see aims in these too. Been following her on twitch for a while. Worlds collide~

Thats awesome helping a rather new player on triggers so wholesome.. and everyone in the pod engagin in that

i love the fact that 2 creatures with vigilance get tapped to attack and no one realizes this

great episode. Magic with friends is always the best

Yes, yes, yes! You got the Prof 🎉 I'm gonna watch later but I'm excited ❤
