@Cephalopopo That is one guest playing a budget deck, though. I'm talking about setting up the pod so they are on theme. That's hard to do with Game Knights since its just a vehicle for whatever new set is coming out, but extra turns allows that flexibility.

@Cephalopopo

@@Ghost26968 unless this is a wizards commercial series I still don't see why it is not possible to do budget friendly decks with a new set. I give you an example. Let's say the eldrazi make their return. Now they could call the episode in the wake of the titans, and then they make 4 budget decks that for instance tell the story of some place that is affected by the eldrazi, but from the point of view of just common people vs some eldrazi titan's footmen. Something like that would be very flavourful and doable. I get your point I just don't think it has to be that way. That one guest's deck did not match the others in power level yet he just had a great creative mind and even won once. They should not use the printed commanders anyway, it is just very lame and pushes commander away from its original spirit anyway ..

​@@Cephalopopoand let's be honest here - Josh's deck was definitely not fun or creative! everyone else brought something fun and interesting to show off the best parts of brewing on a budget, but simic deck doing simic things to take over a game and stomp the table is just such an eyeroll.

This is the collaboration we all needed to see. Nerds vs Knights.

Really nice to see you guys playing with cards that are more accessible to everyone and showing that you can still have a ton of fun! I would love to see a Pauper Commander episode in the future!

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EXTRA TURNS FOR SO LONG. This video single handedly revived my MTG phase, thanks guys

So happy to see Jolrael get the same reaction from Beezy that I get from everyone when I play her. "I've never seen that card before but it puts in work."

Here for the budget brews. Happy to see one of the biggest yt channels in the mtg space letting people know you don’t have to spend 1000s of dollars to have an awesome and swingy game! Would love to see more of this on the channel.

Swingy? josh took over this whole game and 3v1'd the whole table! i love janky budget brews with all my heart, and i'm quite disappointment that Josh chose to play such a boring simic archetype for this one. Jimmy and the nerds did a good job of showing us how fun and interactive budget brews can be, while Josh decided to go "easy mode" for this one with a basic "simic doing simic things" build.

Gotta love beezy, he's so good at finding small neat interactions.

Beezy's interactions were the best part of the game, and it's a shame that Josh's boring and oppressive simic deck didn't allow his guests more space to shine

Untapping someone else's land to save the board is such a pog move

@@Reflexzzzz it's what I love the most about Commander is you're not gonna see weird and intuitive plays like that in other formats

$100 budget is a fun restriction if you're not used to a budget. It becomes a balancing act - "I could include Card X, but that card's $8, which is a large part of my budget for one card, which means I have to cut back somewhere else". I have an Obeka $100 budget deck that I like to play, and sometimes the price of something jumps and you have to decide if it's still work including or if you need to replace it with something cheaper and less effective.

@kingofbudokai

$100 I don't even consider "budget". That's just a legitimate deck at that point. Not "optimized" no, but genuinely strong. You can easily make a 6-7 power deck with that much money. There are thousands of good cards that are $2 or less in commander. Budget, in my mind, is $50 or less.

This was a fun surprise. Been subbed to Nitpicking Nerds since Beezy and Joe had 12,000 subscribers. Look at them now!

I love that Baeloth pairing. First background I tried was raised by giants, but I think this one is so much better.

Man I’m for sure gonna sign up next time y’all have a fan event. That would be such an honor.

So cool to see the Nitpicking Nerds on Command Zone!

Apparently I define budget differently. Even the basic lands were more than a dollar. At least it was nice to see that the second least expensive did some serious damage and explosive token-rhea.

Nice, glad to see y’all working together!

Joe Cherries is punching air right now haha

Awesome video, amazing guests and decks, great job!

Definitely a collaboration we've been needing.

WOW Budget Decks with the Nitpicking Nerds, I couldn't be happier

This inspired me to build a Jolrael deck, and I have really liked it! I ended up leaning away from the "make my lands into creatures" effects and towards control with bounce effects and graveyard recursion. That Skullwinder + Traverse the Outlands interaction is awesome, so I added Seasons Past and Mystical Tutor, which has become a cool engine to make sure I never run out of gas. and I keep a full grip for swinging with big birds! Glad to see the Nitpicking Nerds on here, too. Beezy and Joe Cherries really helped get me into EDH a few years ago

The crossover I never expected but always wanted! Love the nerds and command zone! Can't wait to see how the game goes!!

I'm glad Jimmy went back to the dungeon deck!

Great episode so happy to see the Nitpicking Nerds on the Command Zone

So happy for the Nitpicking nerds to be here!!

cool episode! I would love for you guys to add the players' life totals next to the names. I found myself looking for it a couple of times when the phone wasn't visible, when some actions happened, and was a bit disappointed that they weren't there...

It’s so cool that this collaboration got to happen!!!

I'd love to hear Jimmy's reasoning for targeting the empty graveyard @30 mins when Josh was clearly miles ahead and had already shown that he had graveyard recursion cards and was playing simic which has tons of ways to get stuff from the grave or unsummon and recast cards on the field. Exiling traverse the outlands would have had a massive impact on Josh's speed and ability to come back from board wipes. Exiling Mia's graveyard did nothing. There's no political argument either - Josh was already so far ahead that nobody could possibly object to you targeting him with everything you had.

Sefris is my favorite commander of all time! So excited to see her played here!

Every time Josh says "pretty good" an angel sings praise to Rachel Weeks 😂

So cool to see the nitpickingnerds on the CZ. I,ve been a fan of you guys for quite a few years.

just stay away from the boring simic budget builds please! not fun watching a simic player destroy a whole table with infinite value when other budget decks can't keep up

I think the epitome of this episode is strategy vs social contract. Ie. is it the right play strategically to counter your ramp or your commander? Definitely. Is it the right thing to do in a game that is centered around the environment and having fun? Now it gets hazy. Learning how to walk that line I think is integral to the gameplay experience you and the group want to have, but is definitely hard to do The JLK game knights interview impression was spot on 😂 This might be minute, but I noticed a change and I wanted to point it out. i enjoyed the closeups on each person from time to time. Helped the focus.

Great guests and great games. Classic JLK!

So nice, love both of your channels!

About to watch this... most hyped Extra Turns ever. Been waiting forever for my nerds to get on here.

I run Ley Weaver and Krosan Restorer in two of my decks (they combo with Maze of Ith), as well as Magus of the Candelabra, Hope Tender, and Argothian Elder. I've had plays like that, where I untap an opponent's land. It's really fun. I also run Skullwinder, and it can lead to some epic plays too.

I'm so excited to watch this!! I have been waiting for the command zone x NN crossover for a long time

Whew, I didnt realize how insane Jolrael was early game! Might have to fet one of those myself

I love Nitpicking Nerds so cool to see them on Extra Turns

Love running into the Nitpickingnerds on all the content I watch! Just seen them on Play to Win the other day. (No idea when the episode was aired)

Long time I've been there. But this table was fire. Beezy untaping that land made the fun keep going.

Great game and really fun decks!!

Shigeki! he's so good! Four mana Regrowth isn't a great rate, but instant speed makes it WAY better. (And it's mostly uncounterable, and can be done through a Rule of Law). Then you add the other modes like six mana for two cards, or eight mana for four cards, etc (and all still at instant speed), plus Shigeki's actual abilities when he's a creature. It's an amazing card. I once got a T2 win because of Shigeki: T1 Forest Magus of the Candelabra T2 Maze of Ith Sol Ring attack with Magus Crop Rotation (exiling, Elvish Spirit Guide, sacrificing Forest), finding Lotus Field with Lotus Field's ETB trigger on the stack make infinite mana with Magus/Maze/Field channel Shigeki, getting Forest and Crop Rotation back to hand Crop Rotation (sacrificing Lotus Field), finding Voldaren Estate make infinite Blood tokens with Magus/Maze/Estate sac blood tokens until I have Yeva and Nylea Keen-Eyed in hand flash in Yeva flash in Nylea Nylea finds all my creatures flash in Surrak and Goreclaw flash in Temur Sabertooth flash in Shaman of Forgotten Ways flash in Kogla Kogla + Sabertooth fight the world activate Shaman to make my opponents' life totals go to 0 (he has haste from Surrak and Goreclaw) GG!

This one was a fun one to watch. Can't believe Jimmy got lands lol

It's like the nitpicking nerds booked playing with different KZreadrs all in the same week, but only remembered to bring one deck each 😅

I play a lot of spell lands, AND bounce lands in even my mid power decks. Sometimes that bounce land draws you a spell.

OMG! I was looking forward for this collab! ❤😊
