Agreed! His commitment to fairness and inclusion is very important to me. It's dramatic but, I'd take a bullet for quite a few people in the moment - I'd take one for the Prof with 24 hours to think about it first.
Orzhooooovvvv! I made this account just for this video. I'm Randy, the Orzhov Trivia guy. Such a blast and surreal moment! I hope my section got good stuff from those packs! Love y'all!
Not countering the Valakut awakening was an L. Rachel didn't have anything to cast in her current hand. Giving her the 2 treasures wouldn't have mattered. We know this because she had 5 mana before Valakut. Take this L CGB. lmaooo
I think y'all are missing the prisoners dilemma in the yard she announced. I'd have to read how it interacts with only a singular opponent choosing that was lethal with two extra mana
Whenever they bring a kid on stage, they are cementing that moment as one of the best memories of their childhood, and will carry it through their lives. It's easy to forget how much of an impact just bringing a kid on stage with her Rachel is having on those kids. I love Rachel for stuff like that.
@@goberthicksFantastic job to the both of yinz! One of the best things of the Game Knights Lives is all the fanfare of the introduction & entrances, the audience participation, and all the fun of the live atmosphere, which commentary is absolutely a big part of. Thanks for being there again, and to the both of you guys for being such great people in the mtg community!❤
Rachel straight up COOKED at the end. Especially putting into context the recent video on being in your “zone of genius”, I really saw Rachel shine in her problem solving mode. True genius & clear that she was considering tons of outcomes and found a way out in the heat of the moment!
this is epic, i was so confused on why you want to watch a game knight live, like its just a edh game... I WAS WRONG Holly molly, we got cosplay, announcers, flags, massive cards, and funny banter. 10/10
i was the one who wheeled for prof. tbh, got a little too excited and chose pretty high. was a fun game overall! thank you for letting me take part of it!
Events like this make me so happy. Watching a group of cool ass nerds come together over something they love and spread joy amongst the community is just so wholesome and good. Thank you Game Knights for making MTG even more magical ✨
The absolute production of this was unreal. Hats off not only to the decks and players but also ALL of the staff behind the scene (cameras/sound/music/lights/back up crew). These just KEEP GETTING BETTER. Absolute banger CZ
Didn’t get to watch it live but it was such a fun game to watch with tons of twists and turns! The cosplay was incredible! Cheers to the great live audience and everyone working hard to put this together ❤
Meh, he prolly didn't see it or notice because when you're on stage, you're prospective changes. You're generally not looking at individuals, but considering the whole crowd and playing to them.
Ok hold up, that TCC intro theme fading into that SICK guitar riff entrance for Prof is actually a BANGER. I am so grateful for these being on CZcams, this was obviously incredible to see live. Will have to see if I can catch one in the future!
One of the best parts of our first MagicCon was this event. Nothing like hearing an entire convention roar their teams in a chant. A moment of chanting Golgari as Josh walked around will be written in my memories for a long time..
I was at magiccon Chicago and went to game knights live for 10 mins then work called so wasnt able to watch it all. Got to play with eric and murph later on.. awesome games and glad to meet some of you there. Great group
So cool to see such a fine and raucous crowd of fell Magic nerds having a blast at an excellent production. I can't shake the thought of what the combined card pool of everyone in the audience must look like...
Thank u Rachel for your wonderful energy ❤ I have to say as a fellow female magic player I am so proud to see you continuously keeping up with all those amazing players and kicking ass!!
This made me tear up. Despite any drama, any particular scene, any sort of toxicity or negativity, this game brings me so much true joy. These people have helped pump so much life into the current stage of MTG's existence. Specifically, I have such deep respect for Prof and seeing him go all the way to the end was heartwarming. Rachel clutching is the exact thing that one loves to see. I pray that I get to attend one of these events in the future, or simply to have the opportunity to cross paths with ANY of the crew. I cannot gush enough. Thank y'all so much!
Chicago knows how to do it! Largest and loudest crowd. We were lucky enough to be in the Professor's cheering section. It was my first Magiccon and i have to say game knights live and meeting each of you was the best! You guys are great and appreciate all the hard work you and the team puts into everything! 😊
1:14:10 Regarding Jimmy's piles, I think the answer here is Pitiless Plunderer in its own pile and then the other three. Plunderer is such a huge target that it could warrant getting removed on its own, anything else you put with it is just going to die alongside it. Plus if the pile of three gets sacrificed, Teysa and Plunderer see them all die and give Jimmy six treasures to rebuild with, while the Plunderer sticks around for more treasures later. Easy to replay Teysa, just get a different draw engine going instead of Morbid Opportunist, and live without Massacre Girl. Then on the other hand, if Josh (or his helper) picks the Plunderer, that huge bomb spell basically just amounted to a single removal spell which probably also feels bad from Josh's perspective.
My thought exactly, putting Plunderer on its own vs the other 3 makes it basically an impossible choice because he'll continue to get insane value either way
I had the pleasure of sitting front row in the Golgari section (the handsome fellow in the dark blue polo) and this show was so incredible to watch front and center in person. The crowd was ELECTRIC and its great to see me and the friends i made at MagicCon being memorialized in Game Knight’s History I will treasure the foam finger i was given forever!!
This was so fun to watch! I loved all the interaction with the audience and getting them involved, it was brilliant and hilarious at times. Swing at josh ;) Prof's music remix was just 👌
This was absolutely amazing. This was definitely an outstanding Game Knights Live and was fun to watch. The players were great. The plays were on point. The crowd was involved and it was just a blast. Great job to all you guys for an outstanding performance and especially congrats to Rachel and the Borros Legion for claiming victory. I can’t wait to see what you guys do next.
I loved seeing the Professor pop off! He could have used to have something to shuffle his grave back into his deck though 😂 Commit to Memory or Echo of Eons
Love watching y'all play despite the trouble getting in even with my vip pass Couldn't get everyones autographs, but thanks for taking extra time to get mine. All in all it was a good show.
I was there in the audience and I want to say on behalf of everyone there we love u Josh your a real one it’s just fun to pick on u it’s y u got targeted lol 😂 u do so well all the time we’re just use to u being a threat or a problem 😂😂😂 all love no hate 😂😂 Ps it was my first magic con and I got to watch game knights live with the professor honestly it made my whole experience
sadly I was spoilered on social media a few weeks ago who won but it was still amazing to see the episode. It had everything and the crowd was insane. Can't wait to witness GKL myself. See you in Amsterdam!
so happy to see it uploaded finally, I was looking forward to this! I kept expecting prof to drop a reliquary tower, but never saw it. crazy he didnt hit it (or didnt have it in his deck). But regardless, he lived the blue mage's dream of drawing a hell of a lotta cards!
These are always so fun and I will finally have a chance to see it for myself life in Amsterdam in June. Already have the badge, flight and hotel secured.
I'm so excited for the professor. I bet u guys are all amazing players based on the videos I have watched I hope one day I get to play with u guy but since I'm extremely broke and out of my little extra money goes to upgrading decks I truthfully know that will never happen as much as I love magic and always wanted to test my mettle against u guys.
dude if you're broke don't hesitate to use proxies, you should not bleed yourself out for a company profit if you can barrely afford it, proxies are legals and unless you want to play tournaments, completely fine !
The greatest Magic experience of my life. Thank you to everyone for being a part of it.
Not only do I love your content but I also love that you make everyone always have a good time and leave me with a smile on my face :)
The best person in this community
Prof fans never let you miss a draw trigger! 🎉🎉🎉 SO HYPE that I was able to see you play LIVE!
You could say it was Magical. Izzet?
I have to agree! it was amazing to watch live and I had the honor of meeting you guys after the fact! thanks for signing my tolarian drake!
I absolutely love hearing that the prof was so warmly welcomed. Can't think of a more deserving person.
Agreed! His commitment to fairness and inclusion is very important to me. It's dramatic but, I'd take a bullet for quite a few people in the moment - I'd take one for the Prof with 24 hours to think about it first.
You clearly don't watch his channel, Prof is a treasure. @@blaze556922
Orzhooooovvvv! I made this account just for this video. I'm Randy, the Orzhov Trivia guy. Such a blast and surreal moment! I hope my section got good stuff from those packs! Love y'all!
RANDY!!!!!!! I was in the orzhov section! You gave me a pack!
Let's fucking go randy!!! You made all of us in the Orzhov Syndicate proud! RANDY!! RANDY!! RANDY!! RANNNNNDDYYY!!
Randy brings honor to the Orzhov guild, they will all repay their debt
Dude you killed it! You gotta start your own channel man!
RANDY! OUR ORZHOV BROTHER! I was the guy who said Firemind!
The music in the player intros did not need to go so hard. Big ups to whoever made those, especially the metal version of the TCC theme!
The TCC theme was awesome!
Like so absolutely banger
I got hype for that golgari theme though, good stuffff
I think it was Johnathon Young, at least Prof's was
@@mrdeath871I think it was too. Did you watch the latest episode of commander at home?
CovertKnowBlue 😎 Thanks Prof 💙
CovertWHOABlue! It's you!
More like CovertThrowBlue smh

@@mattd3978It would deal a minimum of 4 damage but she didn't have enough mana to flash it back even with the treasures. Flashback cost is 5RR.
Dang, that Professor entrance …. Chef’s kiss

It's easy to forget how much of an impact just bringing a kid on stage with her Rachel is having on those kids. I love Rachel for stuff like that.
The shirt reveal was the best thing.
Yesssssss!!! I hope you all enjoy - this was such a blast to be a part of ❤
So much fun co-hosting with you!! 😊🥰

I was in the Orzhov section - Randy is our hero! We will forever be grateful to him!
Was about to say who's randy
i was the one who wheeled for prof. tbh, got a little too excited and chose pretty high. was a fun game overall! thank you for letting me take part of it!
You chose well, I would've gone higher!
noone acknowledging olivia's "can't thop won 't thop" hurt me
Thank you 😂
I will be saying this from now on
Mike Tyson knows all too well
Events like this make me so happy. Watching a group of cool ass nerds come together over something they love and spread joy amongst the community is just so wholesome and good. Thank you Game Knights for making MTG even more magical ✨
WHO WROTE THOSE INTROS?!?!? Every single line was absolute perfection. Whoever wrote those should be so unbelievably proud of themselves.
I love how we havent really seen JLK in Black-Green until his Mycotyrant debut, and now he is playing Golgari in GameKnights live. Amazing
JOSH IS ALMOST 50!???
The whole Old Rutstien thing was fantastic
All of their outfits are so amazing, but I cannot get over The Prof's light up lightning gauntlet!! Props to whoever made the props!!
The absolute production of this was unreal. Hats off not only to the decks and players but also ALL of the staff behind the scene (cameras/sound/music/lights/back up crew). These just KEEP GETTING BETTER. Absolute banger CZ
Professor's Intro theme remix is great LMAO🤣
"The Pedagogue of Paying the One (sometimes)" is the best line in the entire shoot
Didn’t get to watch it live but it was such a fun game to watch with tons of twists and turns! The cosplay was incredible! Cheers to the great live audience and everyone working hard to put this together ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really hope the Professor got to play in Gavin's Unknown Event, too.
I did!
17:34 Josh denies my high five and I was very sad 😂😅
rest rip in peace
@@lunarlight3131 sure was 😂
Sorry!

Normally I always root for Rachel,but this time I did for Prof. I was so happy to see his entrance,that I almost cried of joy
Big same, I let out a Boros bellow for Rachel, but I was so excited to see the prof!
As someone who was there...wow.
I am glad to have been there, to experience this in all of its chaotic glory.
Only one may stand!!🎉
I remember watching one of the first Game Knights Live re broadcasts and haven’t seen one in a bit. But WOW THE PRODUCTION VALUE has gotten🔥
I was there live. The intros and the game was awesome! I was in Boros section!
One of the best parts of our first MagicCon was this event. Nothing like hearing an entire convention roar their teams in a chant. A moment of chanting Golgari as Josh walked around will be written in my memories for a long time..
I just finished rewatching all commander matches with the professor, so happy to see him again.
This was absolutely deafening in person!
Not surprised that everyone loved Prof. I wasn't there Friday but made it Saturday and his meet and greet line was insane.
Josh played Make an Example!! One of my pet cards that goes in almost all my black decks. Criminally underrated.
That's such a cool card! I picked one up to play it cause I've never seen it before!
Being there was a great experience that I will never forget. It was an amazing experience. To see the people we watch at home in person.
What a game, what a finish. Rachel has not only been a great addition to the cast but she is an amazing player. THIS WAS SO FUN. Thank you for sharing
I was at magiccon Chicago and went to game knights live for 10 mins then work called so wasnt able to watch it all. Got to play with eric and murph later on.. awesome games and glad to meet some of you there. Great group

Seeing prof on the big stage made my day
Chicago knows how to do it! Largest and loudest crowd. We were lucky enough to be in the Professor's cheering section. It was my first Magiccon and i have to say game knights live and meeting each of you was the best! You guys are great and appreciate all the hard work you and the team puts into everything! 😊
I MISSED IT DAAAAAAMN ❤
😭
Glad you guys had a good time, its always so entertaining to watch you guys play and interact with the crowd.
I know that was Amy screaming "BRAWL BRAWL BRAWL!"
YEP THAT WAS ME
@@AmazonianI knew it!! Brawl Stars LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Woha! I was expecting this!! let's see!!!! Go Prof! And Rachel.
There I am Gary, there I am!
My son and I are hyped for Amsterdam on my birthday weekend. Flights, hotel and premium passes all purchased.
This was absolutely amazing. This was definitely an outstanding Game Knights Live and was fun to watch. The players were great. The plays were on point. The crowd was involved and it was just a blast. Great job to all you guys for an outstanding performance and especially congrats to Rachel and the Borros Legion for claiming victory. I can’t wait to see what you guys do next.
You know when Rachel is in the game that she is the one to beat. Love to see her in this game. Please keep them coming!!
It was such an amazing experience to see this live!! I hope I can secure tickets to Vegas!
The vibes are so on point ❤ love how much you all enjoyed this from all areas too from presenters to players to fans. Absolutely love this ❤
I loved seeing the Professor pop off! He could have used to have something to shuffle his grave back into his deck though 😂 Commit to Memory or Echo of Eons
Seeing this show live was an incredible experience, truly something i will never forget!
Prof's intro went HARDDDDDDDDDDDDD. Loved the game.
What a great episode! Was on the edge of my seat the last few minutes. So glad Rachel took the win. Great game, wish I saw it live!!
The intro of the players guilds really added to the game. Well done
I was there and this was a great video. Great representatives of the magic community. Enjoy the gathering all.
Amazing show, and what a game!!! CGB FOR GAME KNIGHTS LIVE !!!
These player introductions are beyond amazing, well done to all!
Loved watching you guys on stage! Was one of the most hype things I loved to be apart of!
Watching no one cheer for Brawl at Magic-Con live filled my soul with joy.
so proud of this team, what a great event. kuddos all of you!
Love watching y'all play despite the trouble getting in even with my vip pass
Couldn't get everyones autographs, but thanks for taking extra time to get mine. All in all it was a good show.
It was awesome to be there, thanks to everyone involved!
JLKs tattermunge maniac cosplay is on point.
This was a great match to watch live! Literally was the greatest night of my life.
I was there in the audience and I want to say on behalf of everyone there we love u Josh your a real one it’s just fun to pick on u it’s y u got targeted lol 😂 u do so well all the time we’re just use to u being a threat or a problem 😂😂😂 all love no hate 😂😂
Ps it was my first magic con and I got to watch game knights live with the professor honestly it made my whole experience
Did anyone notice that Josh left that one guy hanging @ 17:33?
The opening ceremony pageantry is absolutely top-shelf. I love it!
That “Attack Josh Lee Kwai” shirt was hilarious. If that wasn’t planned then it’s incredible
sadly I was spoilered on social media a few weeks ago who won but it was still amazing to see the episode. It had everything and the crowd was insane. Can't wait to witness GKL myself. See you in Amsterdam!
so happy to see it uploaded finally, I was looking forward to this!
I kept expecting prof to drop a reliquary tower, but never saw it. crazy he didnt hit it (or didnt have it in his deck). But regardless, he lived the blue mage's dream of drawing a hell of a lotta cards!
What a hell of a game. Man, I need to make it to one of these events!
OMG, the kid with the "Swing at Josh" shirt was amazing! Dream come true for that kid I'm thinking!
So amazed at how far you guys have come!
the narrator intros for the players keep getting better, so well written
That was fantastic. Front to back top tier production. Well done.
The cold reception of Rosewater is heartwarming
Not me yelling "There i am!" everytime I see myself. Was so stoked to be in Izzet, repping my boi Niv and my boi Prof!!
Ah yes... everyone dressing up and Prof just grabbed something at random from his everyday wardrobe.
I might've missed it from the first part of the vid, but having no player timer on a Game Knights Live is quite a refreshing view
As an izzet mage, i was happy the prof represented us, and we had voxy in our crowd so we won by default.
Amazing Show. Thank you all!
Damn girl! U can’t go up there looking like that. You’ll give all them males a heart attack. Great content! Love it. Thanks.
Excellent timing from Rachel on that Teferi's Protection. Prof couldn't put any other spells on the stack to deal damage to her or her stuff.
Absolutely amazing climax. Win or lose, love games like these!
I live 3 hours from Chicago and now rue the fact that I couldn't get to this con. That show alone, would have been absolutely worth it.
Damn, those guys can entertain! Still the backbone of this community ❤
Whats different about the snow covered swamp? "its cold" - me. Its too bad you cant hear me yell it.
This was so cool to be a part of!
Bro this is insane. I wish i could have been there
These are always so fun and I will finally have a chance to see it for myself life in Amsterdam in June. Already have the badge, flight and hotel secured.
Professor following the Maldhound doctrine of touching near EVERY card in his deck
I'm so excited for the professor. I bet u guys are all amazing players based on the videos I have watched I hope one day I get to play with u guy but since I'm extremely broke and out of my little extra money goes to upgrading decks I truthfully know that will never happen as much as I love magic and always wanted to test my mettle against u guys.
dude if you're broke don't hesitate to use proxies, you should not bleed yourself out for a company profit if you can barrely afford it, proxies are legals and unless you want to play tournaments, completely fine !
Im so sad i could only make Saturday this year, but this has encouraged me to come see it next year! Those intros went CRAZY
