@TheDarkCatYT 5 лет назад

I've been playing for two years, and it is kinda boring with the lower life totals, no commander, and all of that.

@regirex4418 5 лет назад

This is much better gameplay to learn from for beginners than commander. But once you get the basics, the rest of Game Knights are formatted in a way you can understand easily. Also their podcasts help explain the intricacies of the game and help to develope strategies. Good luck!

@Nr4747 4 года назад

It's less that we find it annoying and more that we see it as a huge missed opportunity.

@holmborn 5 лет назад

bit dissapointed that you got some of the best players in magic, playing precons. Deckbuilding is such a huge part of player skill, its a shame it didn't get showcased in any way.

@firestormpiccolo 5 лет назад

Agreed... this feels like a real wasted opportunity but this one is obviously funded by Wizards to make a sale.

@Cronos804 5 лет назад

I don't think optimized decks are the best to produce this kind of content. Obviously a lot of the entertainment comes from the players social interactions. But optimized decks play fast and do often cut everything that is not top tier. That can be pretty boring to watch. Thinking of clever restrictions for deckbuilding is difficult so giving out premades makes sense.

@dazaran714 5 лет назад

It's not even any of the cool precons like guild kits or commander, they're one step up from welcome decks.

@targetedandfiring4336 5 лет назад

Weren't you guys complaining over last episode because of top tier deck building?

@ExodaCrown 5 лет назад

Deck building isn't as big of a skill anymore with the internet. You have so many resources that if you are having trouble with a deck you can look to see what other people are doing to fix the problem you are having. Looking at the metagame on MTGGoldfish, of the top 4 used, two of them are almost identical. Like only a few cards are changed, but the play style is the same. So having them bring their own decks it wouldn't show off their deck building skills. There is nothing wrong with playing precons. Draft decks would be too inconsistent for fun gameplay so using those procons was a nice compromise. Though I think them using the guilds precons would have been cooler, not sure how balanced it would be.

After skipping through the comment section I’m surprised to find that I may be the only person who really enjoyed this episode. I sold most of my collection a while back and only have self-contained products like Duel Decks, Archenemy, Explorers Of Ixalan, etc. to play with friends. I’m always curious if I will like these kinds of products and watching them played here is a good way to see them. I know episodes like these are just Wizards paid product placement ads but some of us actually want to see them. Keep up the good work.

I love Game Knights and I know how much hard work you guys put into it, so I hope you take this in the constructive spirit that's intended: Although i dont mind the occasional shift in gears to watch something interesting like Maro playing his Un set, ultimately, i watch this show for two reasons: commander gameplay and the slick play-by-plays. Together. One without the other is just not as interesting to me. I'd be really sad to learn that you guys are permanently separating interesting commander games into Extra Turns and great editing and play-by-plays into a watered down version of Game Knights where it's just promotional content for wizards. I know Wizards helps pay the bills, but products of this kind are frankly boring and beneath the level of analysis that game knights play by plays provide. Please, guys, it matters what you play. I love this show and I don't want to see it become a multiplayer version of Spellslingers.

@@peterolzem58 Fair, but I'd have much preferred to see a Commander game with these players. I mean, the Commander game with Melissa is what got me into Game Knights (and MtG as a whole), and watching Brian Kibler got me into CCGs as a whole (via Hearthstone). Seeing those two in Commander would be incredible. But seeing them with precons is... fine, I guess. I mean, it's not bad. But it could so easily be so, so much better.

Oh hey! How about we invite pro players/hall of famers on game knights. The fans would love to see them play commander and watch their sick moves... Except, they'd be playing precon decks for beginners. Good job command zone! Way to go! another great potential for an episode ruined!

it's ok man. consider 1) there's a tendency for satisfied people to go about their day, while an unsatisfied or upset person is more likely to leave a comment 2) I enjoyed the episode as well. I guess people were really wrapped up in their expectations and were not able to take the video for what it was - a light-hearted, fun look at a new product with some insight from well-known players.

@NVEmery 2 года назад

I'm 2 years too late, but no one here will judge ya. EDH is a party community format and we're all here to have fun. These are high level players, and alongside the editing, you can easily follow what's going on.

@enderalex300 5 лет назад

While I was initially disappointed to see pros playing precons, this match was a lot more fun than it had any right to be. While it was simple, the pros brought out a lot of complexity in their lines. I would've liked to see what they could've brewed in an EDH game, but this ended up being super entertaining. I just hope that they get another chance to all come back on with some brewed decks at some point. Best of both worlds. Thanks JLK, this episode is the highlight of my week.

As someone who doesn’t really play casual magic at all, relax. All the casual play sucks, but these guys all make it worth it. Josh and Jimmy truly do an amazing job with this show. Also, consider this, they’re sponsored by wizards, so therefore they’re priced into advertisement due to their contract. Again, if you don’t like that, I dunno what to tell you.

I feel like you but Wizards is paying for this and all other videos. Half of the videos of Game Knights are just extremely good advertisement for products. So of course they are making video, which are not as fun for the core commander games but attract maybe new players. But maybe a another video series format for beginners would be a way.

While every episode of this show is pretty wholesome, it is nice to see some professionals whose literal jobs are to play/create these cards, having a fun, casual game different to what they're used to. Different in ways like limitations of an intro deck, multiplayer, and politics. And then Josh who is used to these playstyles winning by his personal experience. By far the most feel-good/wholesome episode I've seen.
