Shivam Knows You’ll Love His Commander Deck | Shuffle Up And Play #10 | Magic The Gathering Gameplay 

Did you miss Jim Davis and Bloody coming on to Shuffle Up & Play with Standard decks from different eras? Check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IZJw0wuDlYE.html

God this actually was one of the best games I've ever played xxx

i watched the whole thing last night and smiled ear to ear through its entirety. i love you lads like all hell.

The thing I like about this show is that it's actually a talk show disguised as an MtG playthrough. No MtG channel can bring out each guest's personalities like the Prof.

40:23 “Didn’t we discuss before that I don’t read cards?” Shivam would make an excellent YuGiOh duelist

absolute joy. that's what this weekend was. absolute joy.

Honestly the chemistry of this group is off the charts. Would love to see these 4 play commander with a twist again in the future

8:48 Professor: "Sol Ring should be banned." Shivam turns to rip Prof a new one. Remembers the camera is on. Turns back, counting backward from 10.

The camera work on this show is so good, and good God I love spice's comedic timing. Also, I adore the fact that despite how brilliant and intelligent Rhystic Studies is, spice still got him with an "amongus".

"Half these cards are upside-down." "Oh, he's one of those." I've never felt more seen.

Pleasant surprise to wake up to! What a pod featuring some of the best and most intelligent MtG content creators! Shivam, Spice and Sam are amazing for the community

Shivam talking about his deck is wholesome and honestly who doesn't love zombies???

The fucking DEATH GLARE Shivam gave Prof when he said "sol ring should be banned" lmaoooo

This is literally the best commander gameplay I have ever seen. EVERYONE went off. (SPOILERS) Spice had tons of early presence and was poised to win the game, but Shivan bolted into the lead and took him out. Than prof beating both players up, almost taking both of them out, until Sams slow growth paid off and took him out! Sam beating shivan from there was like poetry, he was the hero all along. Please do more games like this!

REALLY cool that you address rules mistakes in the video now, Prof! I'm not gonna lie, it IS a huge bummer to me when commander games go one way or another because a misplay wasn't caught in time, so this is a wonderful addition to the series!

1:01:23 Every video with Spice8Rack inevitably features the working classes desire to overthrow the ruling class :)

sam and connor's banter is so good. "yeah in 250 years you vampire"

37:49 I didn't think, this was a controversal opinion, but I think Gitaxian Probe is insane in commander. I really did think that we have a consens here regarding Probe, but seemingly not. I find this very interesting. Here are some arguments, why Probe is good in EDH, in my opinion: - First, it is just good, inherently, to play a 98 cards deck instead of 99 cards, similar to what Mishra's and Urza's Bauble do. - Second, Gitaxian Probe is a sorcery, so it triggers aaaaall the good instant/sorcery pay-offs like Niv Mizzet Parun, Archmage Emeritus, Storm-Kiln Artist, Young Pyromancer, Talrand, Guttersnipe and so many more. - Third, it is good to fill your graveyard, for Threshold, Search for Azcanta, and mostably for Delve. It is sooo good with Treasure Cruise, Trespass or Dig Through Time - Fourth, it is also good with Storm or Storm-like cards like Burgi, Thousand Year Storm or Underworld Breach - Additionally it is good with cards that trigger when you draw a card, e.g. Teferi's Ageless Insight, Locust God, Psychosis Crawler - Maybe you just care for cheap (in this zero cost regarding your mana) spells to trigger Primal Amulet, Yori En, Ledger Shredder or Shark Typhoon - And, obviously, even the information you gain can be quite important. In this video for example, Rhystic Studies did find out that the Prof has a counter in his hand for 3 mana. I am really sorry for my long comment, I normally never do this. But Gitaxian Probe is one of my favorite cards, besides Noxious Revival, Standstill and some others. Great video though, love your attitude, likeability and content! Keep it up!

Shivam looks so cool and friendly to hang around. Spice and Sam look friendly too , but Shivam sounds enthusiastic about everything. Genuinely nice.

"Um...I won.... what else did you need from me?" is a top notch way to end the episode

"reading the card explains the card most of the time" hits extra funny given the collab you did today with Team APS. Sometimes in Yugioh, reading the card doesn't feel like it explains the card. But yeah this was awesome.

My excitement level when I saw Rhystic and Spice8 back again was immeasurable. Supremely fun to watch and a great game.

I love seeing Sam playing Magic. We need him on more shows.

Glad the editor caught Spice in the act of trying to sneak in that “among us” to the audience.

"I love the fact someone wearing THAT jacket is complaining about someone not seeing their 'magnificent, shining light.'" That was so unexpected and so spot on that I did an actual spit take. Bravo, sir.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: You are all way too charismatic. it's so much fun just listening to you, even though I don't get half the references and jokes or even cards.

Spice always looks like a dashing villain that ends up being a friend. Great game everyone!

Anyone else entertained by Sam's attention to his land... for that matter all of his cards on the battlefield, perfectly arranged? ... it calms my inner OCD

I'm only 10 minutes into this video and it just gives me so much life. The off-the-cuff approach, ambassadors for our community playing the purest form of Commander, just having a good time. It feels like watching friends playing at my kitchen table.

Usually I look forward to a new Shuffle up and play episode, but this one? With Spice? And commander switcheroo? I've been waiting for this

my first shuffle up play show! It was a blast! Gonna now binge watch all of the ones I missed!

I love how excited everyone was to hand over their favorite decks. Getting to hype up something that you’ve put so much time and thought into sounds like a cool thing to try on a Friday night.

Spice + Sam is an actual legendary combo. Love to see it!

i love spice so much, their humor is perfect

this has to be the greatest game of commander ever recorded and I feel so fortunate to be able to watch it. friendship is truly magic

As someone whose favorite commander also shares their name just spelt a little different, I appreciate The Professor’s dedication to Brion Stoutarm.

I want to be on an episode! 😭

This is so fun, big smile on my face the whole time ❤

Reading Lord of the Undead DOES explain Lord of the Undead though, since in both its printed form and current errata it isn't giving +1/+1 to itself.

Outstanding chemistry between these four. Really feels like you’re watching four friends playing some Magic over the dinner table and a few drinks.

Steady Progress has one of my all time favorite flavor texts, fun to see that get played! "It's probably nothing." 🤣

What a game!! Everyone playing have a great chemistry together and really feel just like a bunch of old friends playing a game of commander just for the fun of it. I watched this with a huge grin on my face the entire time, what a great way to start the week.

I'm happy for Sam that he's out on youtube playing magic for a change.

24:18 oh my god the netti netti joke had me actually burst out laughing and I'm not seeing anyone talking about how good it was

the commentary on this episode is sublime. i was laughing all game long. this is REAL commander play!

Such an awesome episode. Shuffle up and Play is my favourite gameplay shows along with my friends. It feels honest, chill, and just fun. You feel like you're hanging out with pals. A lot of other shows are so OVER-produced, like it has to be this strange e-sports-esque American production and it just drains the joy out of it. Love this so much: 10/10 Brian, keep up the good times.

Just out of curiosity, was the counter-clockwise turn rotation implemented intentionally?

I really really really appreciate how readable the cards are from the top down view. Every edh gameplay video has that angle but I think this is the first that I could straight up read everything on the table.

Having recently tricke- uhh convinced a group of friends to play magic, I have played a whole pod of my decks and honestly, it is such fun. It's honestly such fun to play against my own stuff!

This is by far my favorite commander show, the range of characters and the humor in these videos is the reason i keep coming back for more!

Love when his real friends are on the channel and call him by name the entire time.

This is the most genuine and enjoyable game of magic I have ever seen on RU-vid, Rhystic and Spice8 are the dynamic duo that we need in our lives and Shivam and the Prof are from my age of MTG so they made me feel like I was watching friends play. A subscribe to all your channels!

“You can’t sell that!” *Prof literally profiting off of y’all’s friendship*

So grateful for the content you and your team bring to the magic community. Thank you for all of your hard work. I always look forward to your gameplay videos.

Just got off of work and spent the last two hours watching this game WORTH IT!!!Best Magic content on RU-vid, just friends playing janky commander together 😂. I love it, reminds me when I play with my group.

This was one of the best Commander games I've watched. This series is absolutely fantastic and I simply love all of your guests.

It's really hard to express just how much joy these episodes give to me. I have the greatest admiration for you and your community of pals for creating something so wholesome and enjoyable while also promoting and enjoying a hobby that you love. Friendship is indeed magic, and if only in spirit I consider you a friend Prof.

All of these decks were so cool. That Crux of Fate was incredible, what an amazing game! This show is really getting to be my favorite thing about Mondays, and I'm always just a little disappointed when the off-week rolls around because there's no new episode!

Buy far the best shuffle up and play so far! I absolutely love this series!

I very much enjoyed the end interviews. They really help to hear each individuals style of describing what they were going through and gives it a more familiar feel of playing with friends

This was -hands down- one of the BEST magic games I've ever seen in RU-vid. The fun, joy and chemistry between all of you, paired with the twist of playing with each other's decks, made all the difference and brought out the joy I felt when I started playing Magic: meeting new cards and getting to know how they work while helping your friends. GREAT video, prof

I desperately want a fan animation of 1:23:29 now, hilarious! Great show!

Shivam has infectious laughter. I'm loving this match so far.

Loved this! What a great group! You guys had excellent chemistry.

This was the best episode of any commander gameplay I've ever watched. Love all 4 people involved, thanks for the content and for having such amazing people as friends Prof!

Been waiting for this video! Spice and Sam are absolutely brilliant on their own and even more so together!

This game looked so fun, was a joy to watch and hope the group can come back again in the future….the chemistry was off the charts

Truly an awesome experience. Loved the decks, loved the twist, the interaction made me laugh out loud several times. Truly, one of the best Commander experience there is out there, and I'm pretty happy we're starting to see more. This is a talk show that disguises itself as a Magic game, and the host is GREAT at making the chemistry work between everyone else involved. A+ work on the editing side too.

What a phenomenal concept and brilliant commander gameplay episode! Love that these magicians had to pilot other friends builds to play the game. Rather than let's see how fast or monstrous my own build can be, this gameplay of playing a friends deck stressed the fundamentals of synergy and one's own understanding of Magic. Bravo! I would definitely watch more Commander episodes like this one in the future.

This was probably one of my favorite episodes because it felt that much more like just a handful of friends playing magic. The rotating decks really did seem to add another level of enjoyment that could be seen on everyone. Really fun. If I play magic again I might give this a try.

1:25:15 it was at this moment the professor threw away his morals as a man and did not stick to his word. Classic commander plays

I've been watching this series for a pair weeks now and I can say is this is my favorite episode so far, really enjoying this series and motivate me to play Magic with my friends on 1 vs 1 and Commander

By far my favorite episode of shuffle up and play... Love watching again and again, and such a great idea for the format!

I love the show. And I love the 4k quality ! sound is also perfect. Awesome job prof !

That was awesome! 😃 And this way of playing is so great! 😃 And Connor took it like a champ that he was taken out so fast

Really good chemistry, what a joy to watch you guys basically hang out.

Truly the best pod to watch, I listen to Shivam's podcast weekly, am a patron to both Rhystic study & Spice8rack, Kickstarter for Prof's deck box. What an awesome game, well played all around, one of my favorite commander games I've watched in recent memory. 😀

Only at the 2 minute and 30 second mark and I can tell this is going to be an absolute blast to watch

Prof complaining about Shivam’s deck being a bit too strong and fast when all Spice did was go turn one sol ring into expedition map is the exact reason why prof also said sol ring needs to be banned at the start of the game.

What an absolute joy of a game to watch. Thank you so much to the four of you for showing us what a great game of commander can look like

This was by far the most wholesome gameplay video. I wanna watch these people play magic over and over. So fun!

spice and sam are my new favorite guests by far omg

One of the best and most entertaining videos not just of this awesome channel, but also as a 'paragon' for entertainment, fun and friendship! Really nice to watch and interesting interactions to widness!

I love these videos. Reminds me of game nights at home when I was a kid, I didn't understand any of the rules so my parents spent the whole time explaining! Really brings me back :)

Love all the Grimgrin appreciation in this episode! He’s my favorite commander of all time

why are they playing anti-clockwise?

This is great. Great chemistry between all involved and thoroughly fun.

I don't know how I missed watching these as I've started to learn how to play Magic, but this is fantastic. Super helpful and informative, the setting and vibe is fantastic, and everyone is just enjoying watching the game unfold. 10/10 will watch more

17:33 "Lord of the Undead" does have two versions. On the ones that say "All Zombies", Lord of the Undead is NOT a zombie itself. So this and other versions of the card are all correct... right?

There are gonna be so many "oh crap, can I do that?"s and "oh, wow - I love this card!"s I can't wait! 😃

This was so much fun to watch. The energy between the four of you was definitely contagious because I laughed so much throughout the whole video.

This was one of the literal most entertaining commander games I have ever watched -- people, power level, it all worked

I went off on the episode with Spice and Sam because y'all were amazing together. The addition of Shivam to the squad raised the bar even further

is the turn order reversed or is it some sort of camera trick

I just got back into playing Magic with workmates after not playing since 1999, my senior year in high school. This channel has helped me tremendously get back up to speed and understand the current landscape of MTG. And these SU&P videos have helped me understand Commander as it didn't exist back when I played!

This is amazing i can't believe how much i enjoyed this... its been a while since I've had this much fun watching commander

I could watch these 4 sit in silence and I might still be entertained. This video is entertainment overkill and it’s pure joy!

Why is play going counter-clockwise?

This was so much fun to watch. I love the swapping of decks. Totally going to do that with my playgroup. Great job to all.

i really love this serie, lots of laughs, full of joy, the real mean of what is to play magic. carry on this way
