The Command Zone hi
Fortunately it was out long enough to see the whole episode the first time around :D
The Command Zone send it to Obama. #ObamaOnGameKnights
Hello I can’t send it to you for some reason and I really want to addition
you have to be a patreon
12/10 level content 15/10 level dedication
I love Game Knights a lot. I know a ton of people hate that there are some non-Commander Game Knights, but honestly, your show is the only VS show that has proper pacing, so you do you. Keep up the good work guys!
That editing makes the difference. It is really nice to watch ganeknights game. The state of the game is always very clear
Tbh yes
I want to say that it's because you guys that I started playing Magic the Gathering, and that I really appreciate all the time and effort you guys put into making me and other people's day, I really appreciate it and keep up the great work.
respect.
*fist bump*
Rhystic Studies Oh shit, you changed your channel name, TheMagicManSam! Can’t wait for more of your excellent content.
Right back at ya Sam!
fist bump.
Get Sam in
#DemandSamForGameKnights
You would actually be an amazing Game Knights guest. Hopefully they have you on at some point.
Wow, that production value is insane.
Chey Che It helps that Josh is a pro at editing
No kidding. If people don't believe that JLK is a professional editor (he cuts trailers for movies, he did one for The Force Awakens, he did the Scott Pilgrim trailer) look at that Porsche he's driving around in....
As a film graduate, and a person who recently became a Patreon of your channel, I'm so happy there's a behind the scenes video. As somebody who's been on film sets, a shoot can be ensuring! Love the effort you guys put into your videos! Absolutely fantastic!
I really enjoy seeing this kind of content. Most people myself included) have no idea how much work goes into a your episodes. Keep making awesome content. You all rock!
Really appreciate the time and effort you guys put into doing game knights...you guys are the reason why I got into Edh in the first place...seeing how much the this channel has grown over the year has exciting and awesome..keep up the great work, Jimmy and Josh 😊😊😊
What kind camera are u using???
Thank you guys for doing what you do! As a new Magic player, watching people play a game on MTGO is so dull that my brain wants to implode... and most of the time I don't even know what's going on! The commentary and explanations of WHAT the cards are and WHY they are a good choice in x or y situation is invaluable! AND the show is really engaging, entertaining, and helps me feel more connected to the game of Magic as a whole. You guys rock! Keep it up!
So THAT's how the sausage gets made. Amazing results of an amazing amount of work and talent. Also, getting such wonderful guests on the show has been great, but I hadn't thought of how much would have to go into physically getting the guests there, let alone all the extra work that the guests themselves have to put in both during and after the game when it seems so natural in the finished video. Well worth it, however. Good luck staying true to Josh's vision to always be improving, you've set a high bar, and as they say "Only 1 ma-. . .hundred hours of editing until the next game knights!"
You should try to get Richard Garfield on game knights.
Agreed! That'd be amazing.
YES PLEASE
This, if course!
That would be the best episode ever
Would be great
I feel like the people who demand GK episodes once every 1-2 weeks have no idea how to edit. Even my short 5 minute low quality deck tech videos take about 6-8 hours of scripting, recording, re-recording, and editing. I assumed GK videos took about 400 hours to edit and I was almost correct. We as an MTG community do appreciate all the little details you put in to these videos and hopefully this video opens the eyes a bit more to the nay-sayers. Keep up the great work guys!
Magic the Greatening couldn't have said it better myself
Magic the Greatening I agree! Planning, recording and post production take alot of time! I can't imagine having to plan for scheduling guests, booking lodging and travel, and managing so many content releases.
Totally true! I don't even make MtG content, but depending on the video, it could take me ages to finish scripting, recording, and editing. This just gives those nay-sayers a chance to see what it is that they go through
I love the show and the amount of love you put into it. Thanks to all the people involved in this project, in front, and behind the camera.
Thank you so much for all your hard work making these games for us to watch. I love the pacing, the cards jumping up so we see it, explaining things, and having these guests on showcasing the cool deck creations. Love this show!
I thought the “only one may stand” was a highlander reference because edh was elder dragon “highlander”
I thank you guys for giving us one hell of a show
Thanks for this one guys, I was actually very curious how you did things, especially with the interviews about the plays.
Also, like many others here pointed out, you‘re really the only show out there where someone who‘s not a complete pro can actually understand what‘s going on. Seeing every card up close, having explanations for the more complex interactions and the proper pacing really make a difference.
Most shows just have one camera looking at the playing field from the top and a card reader, where you can see a slightly bigger version of the card, but it doesn‘t even always work.
Looking at you, LRR.
The bottom line is, you obviously put a lot of grit into these videos, and it totally shows. Success well deserved.
I just love how much work you put into these videos to bring us top-tier Magic content. Without a doubt (one of) the highest quality Magic content there is. Amazing for everyone that doesn't have time to sit down and watch 2.5 h worth of commander games... Love you guys, keep doing what you do!
This makes me want to work harder at... life in general. Really inspiring!
I love Game Knights. Thanks for all the hard work.
Can't thank you guys and your crew enough for all the effort sunk in to bring your shows to us. Has been by far my favorite to watch or hear for MtG content.
Thanks you guys sooo much for all the hard work you put into Game Knights. I can't wait to see what the next year looks like for Game Knights!
I love Game Knights because I like seeing the thought process of when to play cards, or what to play. Due to this I would love to see more of them, but I do understand the amount of time it takes to edit these. This video made me aware that it is even more time than I thought. Thank you to all of the MTG community that produces the videos I have become addicted to watching and/or listening to!!
I agree, I actually think the thought process thing.
I think it’s actually helped me SO MUCH.
So thanks Jimmy and Josh, thanks for helping me with magic
Also I would like to apologize for putting you guys through the wringer, had no idea how hard this is
Thanks for the behind the scenes look! I love Game Knights and it's wild how much time you guys put into each episode. Thanks for all that you do!
This episode is a great insight in seeing how much goes into each episode of Game Knights. Thanks for letting us see. I love both Game Knights and your podcast. Keep up the awesome work!
So, why the reupload? What was wrong with the first Video?
Btw. please never stop making Game Knights, you guys are a treasure for the Community and the game as a whole. Keep it up :)
There was a technical issue that we had to fix - we are perfectionists, perhaps too much so sometimes ;)
Same here.
I guess its because on 19:14 they showed the playmats and they where not allowed to show them or something. They zoomed in on the faces there, but i probably should not mention what was on the playmats and what Informationen was given away with it.
This was a very interesting video. Thanks for making this!
The quality of your videos are fantastic and after seeing how much work goes on even in game I appreciate the content you produce even more. Thank you for being so dedicated and having this intense standard. Awesome to see behind the scenes and seeing the ones behind the camera. Thank you again!
It's impressive to see all the work put behind this awesome serie. Thank you very much to all the team and please keep at it as long as possible !
This was very insightful and entertaining. You got a great thing going here already and you still got a long way to go so keep it up hwaiting~! (Excited to see Gaby appear someday :D)
At first, Greetings from Germany.
I want to say that sadly i have never played a commander game once. And i dont have friends who would like to play MTG.
So what do i do? I watch every video what is about commander. My favourites are the Game Knights. I appreciate the work and effort you guys put into this.
You guys and your guests are making me laugh so many times, especially the Fan game with JACOB, he was so brilliant. Invite him again!
Well i love your videos, the quality, the cutting, also the music is chosen perfectly.
This is where quality goes above quantity!
You are the best!
Move
Im from Germany as well and even tough i know a bunch of people playing magic nobody really is into commander which is kinda sad since i just finished my first EDH deck.
Josh and jimmy! Thanks for doing all that you do. Had no idea how much work was put into each episode. I definitely appreciate what you guys do even more! Thanks for sharing this and continue the awesome work!
Thank you Jimmy and Josh for all of your hard work! Love Game Knights and The Command Zone!
My greatest respect for Josh's skills, i always wanderer how they made this card fly away from the board while playing on :D
Love Game Knights; are you guys going to play with your own decks you've built (not centered around a theme) for the community game? I hope so!
It does go to show how much effort and time goes into one episode of this and makes me respect everyone from the cast even more so thank you very much for always putting all your effort into what you do
Had no idea that so much work went into each episode, though the care in editing and producing is evident every time. As a student who's been involved in many small productions nowhere near this scale, massive respect to you guys and everyone involved. THANK YOU for the content you continue to produce!
I think Wedge is my spirit animal.
I enjoy watching these videos while i play with friends. Anyone else do the same?
I would love to but my friends do not understand english... :(
Isn't that distracting from the game you're playing? Lol
Love you guys soooo much!!! I started playing commander about a year ago, and have since built 5 different decks! This show has taught me so much about how to actually PLAY my decks, while the Command Zone podcast has been my go-to spot for learning how to build a deck. Thanks sooo much for all the hard work you put into making this such an entertaining and well produced show! You Rock!!! :-D
It's great to see what goes into each episode. Thanks for putting so much effort because it truly shows!
When you say “they bring or build their own deck”, do you provide them cards?
Damn, I'm not saying it isn't a lot of fun but, you could definitely use a more casual game knights sometime. I volunteer as tribute! Lol
I just want to thank both of you for all the hard work you out into these videos. A couple of weeks ago I had hip surgery (which sucks) but have basically been binge watching a lot of your video content which has helped out pass the time. I still have 5 1/2 weeks left of recovery time so I look forward to the future videos that are to come out. Again thank you for what you do for the Magic community :)
Your care and passion for your craft really shines through on each of your Game Knights episodes. Keep up the amazing work.
All my dreams were crushed when it said must be 18 or older
The Mana Vault Oof but it makes sense
Chin up, buddy. Maybe they'll do the same next year or whatever you turn 18, if we keep supporting. :)
Same here, bud. Just start working with a camera now to prepare if they do it next year.
Dude same
Top Notch! Hey Command Zone folks: I just realized I co-own a Burbank Warehouse (that my family leases), just 2.4 miles away from RocketJump (we're located at the other end of Burbank Airport).....Maybe next time I'm in town on business we can play a game of Commander (off camera)! Or, is there an LGS you guys (sorta) frequent? Maybe I can hope to run into ya'll at such a SoCal establishment?!? Either way, keep up the amazing work!
I've always loved the immense dedication that the creators, directors, producers, editors, crews and casts put in to ensure the viewers understand the flow and strategies in every episodes. Watching this behind the scene makes me love them even more. Well done and thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom whenever you can.
This really gives me even more respect for what you guys do. I didn't realize how much time and work you put into this. Way to go on making such a high level product.
So when is the Graham and Kathleen game knights episode coming out?
We're finishing it up now. Hoping it will be out next week.
Yeah right
The Command Zone and than a month later for non patrons (I am gonna start supporting you guys soon I hope just not at the moment)
Yay! I love LRR.
Phatom Nerd if kathleen isn't playing cats (or mono black) I'm gonna stop watching immediately
I like the subtle (not so subtle?) shoutouts to the haters in this x) Videos take a long time, not just commander videos, etc. Really cool view into the process.
I've been making content for 8 straight years on the internet and try to read most comments. It's definitely a recurring trend that people really don't understand what it takes to make a video and definitely a lot of viewers take the work invested by the creators for granted. So... yes - I'll always try to remind them when I can - jimmy :)

Your podcast videos and game knight videos are what I look forward to! I literally catch myself getting on CZcams to see of there is a new video from you guys! Thank you and keep up the good work guys! Probably the best MTG content out there!
This was a great look into all the work it takes to make the show, really interesting and seems like alot! This made me pumped for a few future videos for sure, particularly the episodes with Lrr, and a commander game with wedge. It is crazy how far you guys have come since the early days of the podcast, it's been awesome to see!
When will the LRR one be posted?
Benjamin Lehman They posted on another person asking this question. There they said about a week.
Wait a sec, JIMMY SAID HOWZIT AND NOT JOSH!?!??!?
We're morphing into the same person slowly over time XD
Melding*
Thanks for keeping up the production schedule you pull off. It's by and large for me the most enjoyable games of magic to watch online, and your time on the editing floor is to show for it :)
It is so cool seeing how everything is done behind the scenes. I loved seeing how you guys do the post game interviews to put with the gameplay. I didn’t realize you take notes on every play that is made during the game.
So Vrv huh........ seems legit
Hello
Thanks for the look behind the scenes guys! Pretty neat to see all the work that goes into making these episodes. Keep up the good work!
Game Knights has honestly helped me keep playing Commander. I have days where I feel left in the dust by my own play group but these videos always help me think of new ways to use my decks and try. SO thank you both for that
Thanks for sharing! Great to see behind the scenes at all the hard work the entire team puts into making an episode of Game Knights.
You guys rock!! Keep up the great work. Never realized how much work Josh puts in to every episode, but they are always amazing and I look forward to the next episode as soon as the newest episode ends.
I love how you guys put so much into these episodes. Some times I will watch these episodes several times to get intel for upgrades for my own decks and understanding strategies I might face. You guys helped me leave my Hiatus from magic just from the fun you guys have. I look forward to your future videos and thank you for all the things you do for us magic players!
Surprised by how much work actually goes into these videos. Thanks for all the hard work, Jimmy, Josh, and the team!
I only started playing the format a few months ago and honestly felt so overwhelmed at first. I was introduced to your CZcams channel by a friend and bing-watched every episode of the command zone! Josh and Jimmy you guys have taught me so much about the format and made me the player that I am. My understanding of the game and myself as a player has improved immensely since I was introduced to your channel.
Thanks so much for everything and keep up the great work !!! 😀😀😀
I never knew how much work went into these videos, it just makes me appreciate these videos even more.
Wow, this just makes me appreciate the show even more. Keep up the good work guys! I always look forward to the next Game Knights video dropping. Thanks for everything.
This was very cool. I had no idea this much work went into an episode. Love the animations.
I love everything about this show. It's such quality content, I love the way you guys run every episode. Keep it up! :)
I cannot believe how much work you guys put into each and every game knights. It’s so cool! Keep up the great work!
The quality and effort you guys put into the production of the videos will definitely pay off in the long run. I just got back into MTG after 16 years. I love Game Knights, Deck Tech, and the other misc. podcasts!!
I am glad to get a behind the scenes look at how much work you guys put into Game Knights. I look forward to every episode.
This show is awesome!!! Best production quality of any commander game play series out there. Thanks guys!!!
Wow guys! This was really great to see! Thanks for making this behind the scenes video available. You guys are the best
Hey Jimmy and Josh! Just wanted to say I wasn't a huge commander fan before I found this channel, but you guys have made it seem so fun that I can't resist brewing now! Thank you for all the work you put into your content and keep it coming!
So glad you guys did this it was really cool to watch what you guys do behind the camera that we don't normally see
The amount of effort you put into these shows is so inspiring! I am amazed by what you put in to this, and the outcome is definitely worth it. Well done guys, keep it up!
It’s really exciting to see the behind the scenes of this show. How much work and time goes into it makes me appreciate it more
Really happy to see this! Knowing more about how one of my favorite shows is made just makes me love it even more!
Its nuts how much work there is. I watched all the game knights videos so we get to see how much work Josh had to do when he was all by himself doing this...keep it up. Love the show
Mad respect for the amount of work you guys put into these along with getting the command zone out each week on top of it
Thank you guys for all the hard work you do! The behind-the-scenes seals the deal...You guys ROCK!
Nice glimpse behind the curtain. Thanks for everything you guys do. YOU ROCK!!!
You guys rock! Love that you are giving us a glimpse behind the curtain
You guys are freaking awesome. Like, I understood this series in particular takes an immense amount of time and effort to produce, but this helps paint a much clearer picture of just how much. Y'all do some incredible work that never disappoints, and it truly has evolved beautifully since the first Game Knights. I'm more than happy to support the show in all the possible ways I can. Card Kingdom, Patreon...I even got myself a shirt. Totally worth it. Here's to another fantastic year! Best of luck!
It’s amazing the amount of work that goes into each episode. Game Knights/Command Zone - YOU ROCK!
It is genuinely fascinating seeing all the effort that goes into making these episodes! Specifically all the small changes that have to be made during gameplay as far as how things are worded and stuff so that its better for the video. It must be hard to focus on the game itself, especially for you two who are constantly thinking about how things will look or sound for the video. You guys are awesome. "You Rock" lol
Thanks for the peek behind the curtain. Cool seeing all the hard work that goes in to making the show.
As someone whose procrastinated all of his life I have massive respect for the time, effort, and love you guys put in each of these episodes. All I ask is one episode a month at least :)
Very cool look behind the scenes. I'm always eagerly anticipating the new episode each month!
i love that you guys started this show, i hope you guys never have to stop, good luck with future videos!
An excellent look into the world behind the camera! It's amazing to see all of the work that goes into the show. Keep up the excellent work and great content. Thank you for what you do.
No idea how much work it took but it's worth it. The editing makes it look seamless and love the popouts of the cards since I'm just learning. I think I enjoy it more knowing the love you guys put into it. Keep on keepin' on!
Loved seeing more footage from Rosewater and Gavin. Amazing stuff you guys are doing, truly some of the best magic content out there.
Congrats to the entire team! I enjoy the show A LOT! In fact, I started to play Magic again after 15 years, because of Game Knights and the Professor!
It's amazing just how much effort you guys have put in and how much the show evolved.
