New Capenna Precon Decks || Elder Dragon Social Club - Commander Gameplay 

As a matter of fact Graham, this is the kind of content I want to see. While I love the impromptu chaos of the real-time gameplay, which feels like hanging around with friends and goofing off around the table, I also really live these well-produced, tighter, more focused edits. A welcome addition to the mix. I love watching Commander and am excited that LRR is going to have a monthly episode of it. I will definitely be watching these as they are uploaded.

Digging the editing on this. It's smooth and it's calm, great to just chill out with. Not trying to throw any shade on any other commander videos (because I watch and like those too) but I like not being bombarded with sound effects every time something happens. Dig that we're seeing the precons, too. Homebrews are always nice but I don't think I see enough of the precons. Will be nice to see some of the older ones too. Looking forward to more from this series.

Editing to prioritize the flow of jokes and banter rather than just the snappiest game play is absolutely the right call - this was a delight to watch.

This is such a breath of fresh air for commander content. Lots of table talk, no crazy edits, the top tier LRR Table Talk. Other commander games have destruction effects, but they don't have that LRR charm. Can't wait to see the wheel!

The first rule of Elder Dragon Social Club is that it's really fun and you should tell everyone about it

I love the polite madness that overtakes the table whenever Kathleen and Serge get to play together.

I am SO GLAD someone is showing off the precons, cause it actually represents what the average player will build/play, and gives an idea on which precons are worth picking up in base form!

Really love how this was edited, felt snappy and smooth but not unnaturally fast. I'm curious how much longer the actual game took to play compared to the hour fifty-one of the video. Looking forward to more of these!

I'm SO glad G made the Perry the Pulverizer joke. It warmed my heart.

I am hyped for LRR DragonShields and this series in general!

How is this content free? Too kind lrrmans, too kind. An incredibly entertaining two hours chaps! Definitely looking forward to more of this!

Every time I hear "Wheel of Precons" my brain immediately says it with the same inflection as "WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!" That aside, excited to watch this in full!

I wish more EDH gameplay channels would play around with the pre cons more. I love seeing home brew decks but everyone being at the same power levels makes it so much more fun to watch I also hope they do some decks with the uncommon commanders

If I could I would give this a super-like. God this game and the interactions are so good and funny. I laughed so hard when Ben mentioned Squi looking through the backdoor. I am looking forward to the next one for this is beyond great!

Im so happy this is a thing, i cant wait for more of these to come out! Love the content, especially commander and draft!

Graham, sat in a leather chair, an exotic smelling cigar between the fingers of one hand, looks up from the spoiler ticker of the latest Magic set, remarking: "...do you pay the one?" Kathleen, nursing a large Port in an equally leathered chair, thinks for a moment before replying: "...no. No, I don't think I will." Question answered, the Elder Dragon Social Club returns to a dull (but never unexciting) murmur of a dozen ongoing games and whispers of how White will be better by the next time we head to Ravnica.

So, I wasnt too sure how i'd feel about long form EDH content, because I prefer to play than watch. But I thought i'd give it a shot and... yes. Absolutely. The editing makes this insanely palatable. And was a very good watch along. I look forward to more!!!

For the future: Denry triggers himself so he actually enters with two of whatever counter you pick, in addition to doubling any counters he may incidentally enter with or get put onto him before the trigger resolves.

I am loving the edited version of game play. Makes for a much tighter experience. Don't get me wrong, I also love your posted streams, but this is a night change. Looking forward to more!

As someone who used to play MtG and can't afford it any more. It's great that you guys play slowly and show the cards nice and big so I can read them. It really matters to me that I can follow along and see the strategy/thought process. Thanks.

The visuals on this are so good!!! I especially like how the single player view has that decorative thing in the corner that corresponds to which corner of the table that player is sitting at.

Completely agreeing with everyone else that the editing on this is great. The LRR banter and charm gets to carry the episode instead of flashy effects. It's just like watching a regular FNPF, but with the tiniest bit mure structure and tight flow. Love it. Can't wait to see the rest of the LRRMTG cast on this!

Finally! Commander that's about having fun instead of comboing off. Please keep this up LRR and CK!

We really do need a version of Cat Comes Back with Squee and Anhelo.

This is exactly the type of commander games I love playing and exactly the content I was looking for!

I'm 25 minutes in and I love this already. That editing style is the perfect balance of keeping it moving but also keeping all the sweet banter and jokes in as well. Looking forward to watching these every month!

Lovely Jubbly!!! . . . .. . As a curiosity, and i would certainly be interested in a Brew video thats "X" LRR member, how they go about brewing a deck for their chosen format, what things they consider and what guides them etc etc....... might not be explaining that how i intend but hope it translates!

Editing is great gameplay was super fun, looking forward to some non-precon games for sure, always love when the lrr crew get to express themselves with their homebrews.

Yes, yes I do need a 60 minute version of that intro music, thank you for asking.

Ah Graham's classic catch phrase: " On your end step, It's Morbid time!"

Holy shit; Serge comes off like a sweet bean, but then goes for the throat, and i cant ever tell if he means to do it.

24:55 Now I'm just thinking of that Simpsons meme with Moe's bar where the bloke gets thrown out with Anhelo and Squee.

Dang, then PreCons have gotten a lot better. Loved this EDS, and hope for more

I love you guys so much for showcasing the precons! Please do more of these videos ;D Love from Germany

I am three minutes in this video, and have a completely rebuilt Perrie deck. So happy to see Bengineering piloting the deck, my favorite commander of the set and my favorite LRR personality

Comments for the algorithmic god, likes for the engagement throne! Google cares not whose eyeballs RU-vid reaps! Love the new series, this is a great idea and I look forward to seeing more of it.

I feel that one thing that is missing is seeing the level of commander damage people have taken

"I'm going to counter your sweater." This show is pure gold and the editing is so good!

not usually a precon guy, but....I'm kinda feeling that Anhelo after seeing how much fun Serge was having.

Master of ceremonies is giving me less busted Molander vibes. Great video! Love seeing chill commander from the best group of Canadian comedians.

This was awesome! Really looking forward to the next episode.

everytime i hear perrie the pulverizer i always hear it in dr doofenschmirtz's voice and i cant not hear it anymore

Loving the aesthetics of this!

Loving this! The color identities below the commander names is the main thing I was missing from the previous edited commander game, so this is great!

Noone has ever sounded as excited to see a member of the Orzhov syndicate show up at a party as Kathleen did.

This is indeed what I would like to see. Well done LRRMTG. Well done.

This is my new favorite show. Thank you lrr team!

I want to see card kingdom RECOGNIZE THEIR UNION.

This was delightful, definitely looking forward to more. :)

1:44:05 Looked it up myself for clarification. I understand that they're calling it a "House Rule" so there isn't any going back on what happened, but just so other people can learn and understand. The creatures die and the player lose all at the same time due to State-based Actions, this is what Serge has correct. However, triggers are still put on the stack due to the death triggers despite the player leaving the game due loss. So Graham should have been able to draw a card for Deathreap Ritual, but it is a "may" ability, thus not that important if he didn't.

I really like that you didn't add animations, sound effects or cutaways to individual reactions/commentary after every play - those things all get frustrating quickly. I would very much like to keep facecams for each player visible while in the overhead shot however, as the FNPF does, and not cut away from the overhead table view most of the time, as it makes it harder for me to follow the game state when I can't see the board or cards. In the same vein, please please put the last played/currently discussed card on screen at all times, so that everyone can understand what the players are referring to - it's way too easy to get lost when we can't see the card OR the board state.

"Acting... is acting... like you're not acting!" I've really come to enjoy magic content with more natural conversation and a focus on the table as well as the game. This feels like it has just the right amount of production - when the Innistrad precon video came out I sat up and really noticed the gentle, natural editing and it really enhanced the game and was really, really crossing my fingers when EDSC was announced that I'd see more of it, and I was not disappointed.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the styling on this series, and the series idea overall. you represent a big chunk of us who love to play a more kitchen table friendgroup casual EDH! and like I say the SNC sort of booming 20s theme is sweet. I like the classy style

RU-vid engagement?! You got it!

I love getting back to the precons

Yes, my favorite deck won! Good job Graham!

I'm ALL about this stuff. I rarely like the meta or CEDH playstyle, and gravitate more towards these kind of fun and social playstyles (Conspiracy was so much fun, IMO). When i play with my friends i tend to build off precons, either upgrades or with a twist. Please keep this going!

11:34 I'm with Ben, pouring one out now for what's lined up for poor Squee

Commander is my favourite MTG content. LRR are some of my favourite creators. You put them together, stick them in a blender, and what do you get? A bloody mess, and a LONG prison sentence. Putting people in a blender is probably Murder, and when they say you have to "pay for your crimes" they do not mean 1BB. Anyway, I'm just engaging for the Algorithm. If you liked my jokes, why not LIKE THE VIDEO, or do the Card Kingdom thing, or help out the LRR folks in a fiscally responsible manner, within your personal means. COMMANDER!

This was awesome! hope to see more of Elder Dragon Social Club!

I appreciate that Graham also goes full Doofenshmirtz upon seeing Perrie the Pulverizer.

This was the best commander gameplay video I have seen in a long time. It was focused on the gameplay and clear about what was happening. I also quite appreciate the vibe that it is ok to make mistakes. Too many gameplay RU-vid comment sections are dedicated to pointing out every strategic error and this seems like it will avoid that.

My favourites videos on this channel are the precons battles, easy to follow and well balance between the decks. Also, every time Serge do something unexpected with that inflection and look so happy, for then later lose everything in the last 3 precon games (although he won the innistrads one). Can't wait for more content

This was so chill, loved it.

Something about Ben and flipping a billion lands gives me life

A pulverizer? PERRIE, the pulverizer?????

When asked about the participants in today's game, Kamiz couldn't be reached for comment.

Great show, I look forward to more of these

You guys rock. You always do amazing content, and this new Elder Dragon Social club is amazing content. A good, well edited fun game of Commander. Can't wait to see more, especially the Wheel of Precons

I am so happy that you guys have launched this series!

The fact that this video comes out and we're almost on to Double Masters already AFTER D&D, really hammers home how Wizards are making too many sets and pumping them out too quickly.

wasn't expecting this, what an excellent start to my morning!

Just watched Serge mill everyone and it reminded me of the Theros PPR where Serge milled his own bombs. He doesn’t seem to have good luck with mill.

I've been playing since Exodus I AM TODAY YEARS OLD REALIZING THAT SQUEE'S TOY IS A SQUEEZE TOY! Mind blown?!

Force of Wool: 3UU You may pay 1 life and discard a glove from your hand rather than pay Force of Wool’s mana cost. Counter target sweater. _______________________________ _I alone determine who is comfy without central heat_

IIrc the orzhov Advocast Kathleen had also should have let her put counters on her own creature. That card is great.

you know what *didn't* spike from Beamtown Bullies somehow? Leveler.

A pulverizer? Perrie, the pulverizer?!?

I'm super happy to see some counterbalance to the hypercompetitive high-powered commander everybody's showing off these days. Thank you. Finally something for me.

This was very enjoyable, will be looking forward to more in the series. I will admit that I am REALLY excited for the Wheel of Precons!

I really like this. LRR's magic content is really accessible to me because of the overlay (Thanks Paul). I have a hard time with auditory processing/general processing delay and the auto-captions of Magic content are garbage (and no has resources to caption an hour + of content with cross talk). The lack of fancy effects and swift cuts between scenes also really helps. So thank you for making accessible magic content.

I love this and can't wait for more

47:58 Probably one of the most perfect moments in this video. Between Serge’s enthusiasm and Graham’s facepalm, knowing what’s coming, I couldn’t stop grinning for literal *hours.* It also helped cement my decision to run an Angelo deck, even though Grixis is my least favorite color combination. (Bad memories from old battles. That’s all I’ll say on the matter.) EDIT: …And then 50:50. How quickly the mighty are humbled. 😓

This was a fantastic video, editing was tight, game went back and forth and everyone got to do a cool thing. The music and graphics are great and it was easy to keep track of everything happening, especially with the pop-up of cards on the overlay. 👍 excited to see what's next

LRR doesn't miss much. A very consistent source of quality entertainment.

I love this, and because I love it I’m engaging

w h e e l o f p r e c o n s

"Here's the card I just invented" Actual Yu-Gi-Oh moment

A vampire painting with blood isn't the equivalent of a human painting with food?

Big props on the graphics.

Serge's sheer joy at Doing the Thing is incredibly infectious.

Loved this episode btw, you don't really get to see the precons in action anymore in wider audiences since the command zone stopped doing it. Much prefer you all to doing instead

Great video everyone!

Both players dying and creatures dying are state based actions. Idk which happens first or if they happen at the same time.

Placed a large order today using that EDSC affiliate link. Gotta support the things you love!

Fancy new graphics and intro. New LRR patch who this?

A word of friendly advice to Graham, if that's okay. At the 57:00 mark you cast a creature for its normal Blitz cost reduced by your Commander. This creature's Blitz cost is higher than its normal mana cost (5 for blitz, 4 for normal). With your Commander's first effect, the creature would have gotten an alternative Blitz cost equal to its base mana cost. So really you could have cast this creature for 1 mana cheaper.

Since Mystic Confluence is a modal spell that was copied with Anhelo, could you say that the net result was a multimodal reflection?

Well, since the command zone stopped doing this with unaltered decks, I'll watch it here.

More Kathleen playing magic please.
