I have two Academics. They are absolutely fantastic. I stuff my Sidewinders in them so my decks have even more protection, but I love all the drawers and whatnot. Really great deckbox.
no way i actually win this but it would def be cool tho
❤
the "let's all help the new player kill us" turn was so wholesome
And we will continue to be wholesome and do so! -EK
Cool, guess I won't watch the episode
@@AdvocatorofHeresy you should know better than to read the comments first. this is not the "talk about it before watching" section, it's the "comment on what we watched" section
@@AdvocatorofHeresy To paraphrase the Professor did you know that reading the comments explains the video?
Unfortunately, where it became the top comment my eyes couldn’t avoid the spoiler since it shows up automatically with clicking on the comment section. Still looking forward to watching the episode, though.
Olivia having their guests' favorite drinks, call that Elder Dragon Hospitality.
I loved how once Aims was struggling with the stack everyone helped her out. That was the highlight of the game . That's what I love about EDH
It's one of the more fun parts of the game. "Oh, you're trying to murder me? .... Here's the problem, you need to do this THEN this, and don't forget that trigger that will do the last 2 damage."
This was incredible to watch.
At this point I am convinced Professor has only 4 decks in his personal collection
1. Teysa, Orzhov Scion
2. Brion, Stoutarm
3. Geist of Saint Traft
4. Sliver Overlord
Ahem..... Merfolk? 🤓
Hey Prof is always ready for a good Thrundown
You gotta see his sygg deck too, the episode of game knights with him and wedge is a classic!
I can't totally explain, but Brian coming in to fill Prof's glass was my favorite part of the video. Funny, wholesome, and gentlemanly all in one gesture
Don't you mean Kyle?
Drunken Prof is great
I came here to say this same thing, but with a different name. So funny, I lol'd.
Seeing professionals of our game being decent human beings just reiterates Magic origins. This game was always populated by lots of decent folk.
42:19 for the interested/lazy
"well then, my cup runneth dry". That line got me good lol
At @43:00, helping Aims cuz it IS CASUAL, is classy, wholesome and content that should be spread amongst the community.
whenever i play with a new player i tend to remind them exactly 3x of the same trigger .. .then i wait for it to pass and remind them (but i do this for all interactions so often i remind someone 12x of the same card becaus different interactions)
I love the professor absolute crown of “you will respect me! Wait why is no one respecting me?”
Can I just say how much it warms my heart when you guys stopped to make sure Aims got all her triggers right? Helping out new(ish) players to a complex game like MtG is so needed and is how we get more people into it.
Have a good day, drink some water.
Very much here for this, this game's lifeblood is new players, Commander is potentially very new player friendly compared to 1v1, where you're supposed to compete, Commander has more room for fun, if people will let one another have it!
Good game
Not to mention making sure she knew it was okay to not only win, but win big!
@@mightyone3737 competing and fun aren't mutually exclusive. I'd be careful about showing the new player how much you're happy they're beating you, it can cross into condescending territory very quickly.
I'm not saying I want to feast on my opponents' tears but at least pretend you're trying to win.
100%. This is commander at its best. ❤
Aims just discarding plansewalkers because they stress them out was way too funny haha.
If I had a nickel for every time Olivia gave an opponent Vigilance and it went ignored, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
hahahaha they took a lot of mistakes, also the prof made discard a card to a player that he did not attack with the sword hahahha, my first reaction was: "what?! I can do that? really?" and then I search my card and said, oh... hahahhaa
Prof not practicing what he preaches lol
@@sonsysy4195 facts hahahha
I was thinking about that when Aims immediately looked to attack him. The vigilance plus the protection from green would have made him untouchable by her ridiculously huge commander!😂
There were a ton of misplays (unless they were edited out I don't think prof got a single one of his draw triggers for puresteel), but nothing that had anything that would have meaningfully changed the outcome of the game, so it was still enjoyable.
FYI Sword of Feast and Famine is not target player discards, it's the player who was dealt combat damage by it.
Yeah, if only people would read the card, because you know that would indeed explain the card.
Lovely to see Aims playing with y'all again. I'm glad that she's enjoying MTG so far, and even more glad that she has a good group of people to learn to play with! Keep it up!
right? so fun watching people learn to play magic
The midgame pause to boost up the new player was entirely too sweet. Great episode, way to be!
And we will continue to do so whenever possible!
!Rules Police Alert!
27:22 Since Sram and Eriette don't share a creature type, Olivia can't tap both of them to remove the Hydra with Weight of Conscience.
I really appreciate how you guys helped Aims make the best play possible when she was a little overwhelmed. The whole joy of MTG is learning a super complex game in an environment that doesn't treat you like an idiot if you need help. Thank you guys for being awesome! 🎉
The numbers of * Quacks * in this episode is hilariously high ahahah.
The wholesomeness is even higher!
This is a really cute episode!
Love it
31 to be exact! -EK
This was the most wholesome game I’ve seen!! “Let’s help each other” and “help the new players” is what magic should be about!! Don’t always be a try hard people!!
"Eh, that seems kinda mean at this point. So that's why I'm gonna do it". Comedy gold!
Also, a Wild Brian Kibler appears and uses Hospitality. It's super effective!
Nice to see award winning Science educator and "Brian Kibler if he was an intern" Kyle Hill made a cameo
39:47 Aims: "I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further."
And Proff is just down for it cause it sounds fun. God I love this Dadmanchild
a lot of folks are (rightfully) praising y'all for taking the step back to help Aims work through all the hilariously over the top triggers she stacked up, but I really wanna highlight Olivia and Eilidh not only doing that but also going "Hey, this can seem really stressful, but take a sec. No one is in a rush."
Obviously helping through the game helps, but acknowledging how crazy of a game Commander can be AND helping someone have a good time. top notch! Class act.
At times feels condescending. Surely in good faith and help is needed and appreciated, but do you think Aims would actually tell them "Thanks but I got this"?
There are few things that are inevitable: life, death, and The Professor taking out Eilidh in every recorded commander game they’ve ever been in together.
I don't want to be that guy but Last March of the ents let's you put any creature cards from your hand on the battlefield.
So Aims could have kept the hydra and the apex devastator in hand for later.
But I absolutely loved watching you guys help out and clarify stuff for Aims
If you hadn't mentioned it, I was going to. It pained me to watch that, like, keep the Primordial and Apex in hand!
Didnt they also do the cascade triggers wrong with Maelstrom? Last cascade in goes first so tutor was still on the stack...
@@georgepapapa8552 cascade, cascade goes on the stack, but you dont resolve the first cascade at all until the 2nd cascade is resolved, i.e. first cascade doesnt exile any cards until after you have exiled the 2nd cascade. So the effect is the same as what happened in the game. It is not the tutor that goes on the stack from 1st cascade, there is just a cascade trigger waiting.
Couldn't they have put Surrqk and Goreclaw in play first so Primordial Hydra would enter with a +1/+1 counter?
@@bailliehibbs-fearn2262 Not quite. All the creatures will enter at the same time. Surrak will see all them enter the battlefield causing his ability to trigger, giving them a +1/+1 counter. The problem is the Hyrda will enter as a 0/0 and immediately die to a "state-based effects" before the +1/+1 trigger will resolve.
If you want me to complicate it more, read on.
There're other cards like Renata, Called to the Hunt which are worded this way: "Each other creature you control ENTERS THE BATTLEFIELD an additional +1/+1 counter on it."
In this case, the Hydra would live if Renata was on the field because the counter is placed as the creature is entering, not after it enters, like with Surrak and Goreclaw.
It's a subtle but important distinction because cards that block ETB triggers like Hushbringer won't affect Renata's ability.
The More You Know!
I love that yall helped Aims triggers with that mono green beast of a deck ! Shows the true spirt of commander 🙏❤️
Hearing the actual origin story from Prof of 'reading the card explains the card' made my day :D
I'm a new magic player.. it would be so amazing to have this group of amazing people teach me Magic ❤😊

Always fun to watch you guys play ^^ I do note though that Olivia tends to forget her EOT trigger from her commander ; that missed life drain WILLend up mattering at some point ;)
Seconds into this and I'm really just so in awe of you all. From you amazing ladies from hijinks to the command zone to Tolarian community college, Gavin, spice8rack... the list goes on. All absolutely amazing people who spread much happiness and joy in the world. I'm always just as excited to watch any and all of you play commander as I am with my favourite tv shows weekly episode releases but with that extra feel good factor you all bring. Kind people meeting up, having a great time together and the vibes are contagious. Love it 🥰
This was wholesome and lovely. Thanks so much for this episode
Oh man, I wish I had a group of peeps to play commander with like you all. My friend got me into the game like 5 months ago and we've only played like less than 10 games and the friends I play with, lately tend to only be available to play on Saturday nights but it's so late we usually only play 1 game unless one of them gets too tired and is falling asleep while we're playing where we then don't even finish a game. I've also only played 1 game of 4 person commander which was the first game. Every other time it's only been 3 players.
I've had to fill my void by watching shows like this. My favorite is Commander At Home. I believe it has the best balance of production quality and pure shenanigans. Even though, the command zone is "the one people know" I find it's too "something" and not just constant laughs like Commander At Home, Shuffle Up & Play, and this show when it's in person (I much prefer the in person shows. So much so, I just can't enjoy watching the games that aren't in person).
8:37 Olivia missed Eriette trigger at the end of her step for Aims owning the aura on her Omnath👍
I’m a big fan of seeing you all work together to help Aims through the win. Professor is in my generation and shares a favorite whiskey, nice! I’ll admit that my biggest motivator to watch was the in-person episode. Glad you made the flight over.
This, Commander at home, and Shuffle up and play make me so happy. You all show what playing commander is about. So much fun and good jokes, good people. I love this content!
I love the positive vibes especially around helping a newer player. I've been in similar situations where there are so many things going on and it's been stressful, so this is lovely to see. Keep up the excellent work EDHijinks
I love watching Aim's learn the format while learning to love the format so wholesome. Hope you bring her and other newbies on to this and the Commander at home channel more.
Love this episode so much. Love that you all encourage the rule of cool. Do the fun thing, the big cool thing. Also thanks Olivia for showcasing Eriette. I now want to build a version with cards like Dragon Shadow, Spirit Link, Minion's Return and Bestow creatures. Thank you everyone for an excellent game/episode.
I know that in the end it didn't matter because that finisher was brutal, but Weight of Conscience says the two creatures that are tapped have to share a creature type. The two creatures that were tapped were Eriette Human Warlock and Sram Dwarf Advisor. I doubt her having the mana gorger would have mattered, but still feels bad.
There's another kerfuffle with that interaction too as since Olivia activated the ability of the Weight of Conscience (incorrectly), the ability of Kogla and Yidaro had no target anymore and does not shuffle back into the library. The ability would fizzle and Kogla and Yidaro would remain in the graveyard.
justmagicrulesthings
@@trumpets101 On top of that it was ability so beanstalk would not draw extra card ;)
Another triumphant episode! Always a joy to see the Professor, and Ames was a delight.
ALL PRAISE THE ALGORITHM
I love the full size picture of the dog on the wall.
Great game !!! Embracing the whole concept of the commander.
professor forgot that enchantùent gave his monster vigilance 'read the card understand the card' :D xD
The commander purity of the gamble makes my heart grow three times ❤
That “let’s help the new-ish player” turn was great! Love to see it!!
@43:18, Olivia and Eili being too damn wholesome. Wish more of the community was like this (I was never hazed for playing Magic, by Magic players yet opponents were never this kind either)
Just found this video today! This was AWESOME! Way to go all.
Thank you for watching!
Omnath Locus of mana is the first commander i built my own deck around. I don't attack with him much, i just love floating and exponentially multiplying mana and then splurging on big green dudes. My favourite cards to make the most of it would be doubling cube > voracious hydra > windswift slice > elvish warmaster > overwhelming stampede. Throw in zopandrel, ghalta, craterhoof, the terrasque, numerous wurms and hydras and it's like attack on titan when the wall was breached the first time.
So many duck sounds. Reminds me of our park walks.
45:10 worth noting, Last March of the Ents doesn't force you to play all creatures. She could have kept back the x cost hydra so it wouldn't die, and the devistator so she could get the 4 cast triggers, she had the mana in her pool to make it work sitll, and will get more from the cobra triggers.
Yes! Keep it up! Supporting new players is how we stay true to the spirit of the game.
Engagement comment for the love. Nothing better than seeing people at the table helping the new player.
The water like effects are on point, I dig it 🤙🏼
I love the turn where everyone helped Aims with her massive turn. Makes it feel like a fun friendly game at home!
That "help aims" moment was so wholesome.
I saw this thumbnail and said Elder Dragon Hell Yeah!
great game, great vibes, man loves this channel
Wholesome moment alert, wholesome moment alert!!! Awesome everyone helped Aims. This is how MTG and Commander should be for new players.
You know this channel has a real good financing when they bring a Hall of Fame just to server alcohol to a guest. I love this.
Ah Elder Dragon Hijinks, a place where kindness and wholesomeness meets fuckery in the highest order. Cheers to all four of you. I hope you’re all doing well. ❤
I loved this game! It made ma laugh audibly way too many times! 😂 my favorite game yet!
Top notch hospitality from the house! ;D
I love when Aims discovers something new with Magic. It's something that I'm losing with all the years I've played, the new player's capacity for wonder.
Awesome game! Great to see Aims here as well. I am a new player is great to see new players play awesome!!
I loved seeing Aims in the show, hope to see her again! The Prof was great as usual. Thank you Eilidth and Olivia, EDHijinks keeps getting better and better!
awesome episode, i love to see you, love to see the Proff and love to see Aimz learning and enjoying the game
I'm new to magic, I just love your videos. Please, keep them coming...
Prof, you might want read your Puresteal paladin, it would explain that you may draw a card whenever you cast an aura or equipment. It hurt me to the core for every draw you missed that game, all of them
It’s when equipments etb, but yes it was painful seeing him miss the draws
My first time viewing this channel. Great game! Love the relaxed vibe. I’ll definitely go check out Prof taking out Alias in those other ones now 😂.
This was a very wholesome game. Glad to see other people encouraging and helping the new-ish player.
I was just looking on how to brew a functional eriette. I'm happy :D
Love the EDHijinks at Home vids. Guessing that they are harder to organise than the regular (people appearing remotely) vids, but they are always a treat.
Just a small miss play but Sword of Feast and Famine is not a target player effect. The player that was dealt damage discards the card.
Also I believe Kogla and Yidaro’s discard effect is an ability so you wouldn’t draw a card with Up the Beanstalk out.
We've all been where Aims was when we were new. Gotta love seeing players help players.
My favorite whisky is the "Hibiki Harmony" !
Very smooth and a very complex and long aftertaste
Love group. EDH never really misses when it comes to guests but this one's great. Been watching Aims since she started playing with DrLupo and she's grown a lot as a player. Of course Olivia is awesome, one of the coolest people I've ever met, and Eilidh is right there with her. And Prof. Well he's Prof lol always fun to watch and listen to.
Love that moment when everyone helps Aims. Reminds me of when i was new and people at the LGS whom ive never met helped me out.
That's whats beautiful about the commander format. Magic has some funny card effects and also some horrendously EVIL effects and synergy, but when everyone comes together for the new players to make them the biggest threat on the board so they can learn how to use their own decks is what makes commander so special. Also i love how everyone has accepted doing this for new players as an unwritten rule. No one is forced to help the new players but instead we WANT to help them in fact we JUMP at the opportunity to do so. It puts the word gathering in Magic the Gathering. Commander is definitely the way rhis game was always meant to be played.
great episode. Magic with friends is always the best
I love the community vibes, keep on keeping on
So pumped to see Aims back!!
Currently in the process of building eriette stoked to see how this goes.
I have never seen someone play green Omnath on one of these channels before, it's a ton of fun and my first deck too, I still have an upgraded one and play it regularly, I was very happy to see that, respect the jelly bean!
Awesome game as always. Loved the green creature vomit that happened. The joke from Prof about temur was so hilarious.
Yes, yes, yes! You got the Prof 🎉 I'm gonna watch later but I'm excited ❤
OMG Aims with the Prof?! Amazingly fun episode. Especially fun to watch as a casual MtG player.
Watching The Prof’s eyes gradually disappear was great! 😂😂
Thats awesome helping a rather new player on triggers so wholesome.. and everyone in the pod engagin in that
I played the Merfolk precon yesterday and I have upgraded it only slightly and its actually really powerful. the explore mechanic is really good. fun fact about the cultivator colossus, it goes infinite with abundance... or... well, you get all your lands out of your deck so after that you draw all gas, really good.
LOOOOVE the vibe in this episode
Love to see Prof in commander games. He's just a pro entertainer. Also Sword of Feast and Famine's trigger causes the player that was hit to discard the card, it's not target player.
One of the best episodes again. You guys are crushing it ❤.
Also Alias soundboard is a work of art 😄. Always love the soundeffects 😁.
The hospitality the wholesomeness. This episode had it all 💕
Watching this episode drnking a Laphroaig islay single malt. Cheers Prof !
Hey! Two Aims games in a day! Haha right on, man! 🤘
Blantons is one of my favorite bourbons.
Fun game to watch EDHijinks team!
Everyone helping Aims is the best part.
These videos are so fun to watch. I'm new to magic and I only know what's going on like 20% of the time. But it's cool to see aims in these too. Been following her on twitch for a while. Worlds collide~
It always warms my heart when OG Omnath gets a win.
i love the fact that 2 creatures with vigilance get tapped to attack and no one realizes this
Love a good episode of Elder Dragon Homejinks
