I was honestly hoping for Combat Celebrant to trigger at least once so we could have a: - I go to combat. - But we already had combat. - Yes, but what about second combat?

I have not seen Chris since he played Champions of Midgard with Wil Wheaton like 7 years ago. I’m so stoked to see him doing well and still being involved in board games and nerdy things. An absolute pleasure seeing him again still just as funny and witty as he was back then.

My favorite part of this dogs-resting-their-chin-on-the-table channel is we also get a whole Commander game with each video, for free!
As someone who has admired MTG from afar for years without getting involved, this LOTR set was the hook I needed. Picked up all four decks and roped in the whole gang of friends. I absolutely love the Elf Deck and all the politicking. I was hoping a video like this existed!

Same here. Played in the mid to late 90s; sold all those cards a few years ago, and uh... bought a house. Had no magic cards apart from a 2019 "game night" box set that i kept unopened "just in case." well, three weeks ago that was still the only magic thing i owned; today I have 4 LotR commander precons, both midnight hunt, both crimson vow, rebellion rising and more token creatures than i think i will ever use. Still trying to convince my teenage children to give this a go, haven't even played yet.

It's up there for best games I've ever played, but I'd love to have a good remake, it's the kind of stuff that makes you wonder. Then again, I actually preferred Thousand Year Door, and still have a working GC (as far as I know), so I could still play that, but it's certainly exciting!

The "I don't remember that from the movie" was hilarious haha.
I adore Rachel and the vibes she brings to the table. Great humor and always on top of effects and triggers. Everyone in this game has great onscreen energy
Wow seeing Chris Kluwe at a magic table reminded me of one of the first mtg videos I watched where he annihilated Day9 with a Demonic Pact deck AND he's playing my favorite precon from this set!!! Great surprise to wake up to!
My favorite part of these is how every one glazes over and occasionally says things like “yeah” and “uh-hu” as Brian goes into his pro tour stories.
Glad to see Chris on here, him beating Day9 with Dimir all giddy was what got me into Magic.

chris kluwe on spellslingers radicalized me into becoming a blue player
Yet another great episode! Nice deck choice for Brian to start as the bad guy. Vikings fan here, Kluwe came to MN around the time I started actually paying attention to nfl. He made weekly appearances on the local rock radio morning show and even talked about nerdy stuff. Awesome to see Chris getting into guesting on gameplay videos! Oh and seeing Rachel and Olivia at the same table is pretty sweet too.
For Brian: I think that actually the treasure token has a barrow blade on it, which is another of the Tales of Middle Earth team’s flavour wins. At the end of Chapter VIII of Fellowship, “Fog on the Barrow Downs”, when Tom Bombadil rescues the hobbits from the Great Barrow, he goes back into the Barrow to get some of its treasure. He places it on top of the mound the Barrow is under and says that he does so in the hopes that someone will come and find it and take it away, because that will stop the barrow wights coming back. So, it then makes sense that treasure tokens, which are meant to be removed (from mounds or, in the MtG case, the battlefield), should have barrow blades (presumably whole little troves of barrow treasure) on them.
Quickly you guys are becoming one of if not my favorite commander channel when it comes to playing the game. You guys actually make me want to play after or while watching your videos because you guys make me feel how I feel when I play with my friends, thank you.
Now I want a "Ride the Whales to Mordor" playmat.
Everyone always seems to have more fun when playing precons.
We need a Bingo card for Olivia 🤣. Or a drinking game. Every time she gets mad at Brian take a shot

This is an absolutely factual statement. My cousin had a multitap, so whenever my brother and I got to visit him, we would play 3-player Secret of Mana like FIENDS until we were all falling asleep. A lot of great inside jokes and laughter from those experiences.
Really love these shows. Please keep them coming. Also if you can have Rachel on more that would also be great. Love the interactions, that you are all so quick and fun to watch. Keep it up!!

so cool to see chris kluwe again. havent personally seen anything hes in since probably my favourite episode of spellslingers with day9. and all i can say is. sure😌
When Rachael tells Olivia that her hobbits are smaller and dumber, all I could think about was Gandalf yelling, "You fool of a Took!" That farseek was another moment in the life and protour stories that will continue to be told in the future.
Awesome to see Chris again was just binge watching episodes of TableTop the other day.
I've always wanted to play MTG and you guys have honestly sparked me into wanting to play. I love how you guys have so much fun and laughs while playing. Thank you so much for this
What a nice and wholesome Game, great tablechemie. Thank you very much Commander at Home Crew. :)
I love the jump cuts in the ads to just Brian staring with contempt into the void

Fantastic 😂 I played Sauron myself and also Subjugated the Hobbits, then I was turned against by the table in which my board was cleared but I landed the Living Death with Sauron in graveyard but in the end I could not beat 3 players so our game ended up very flavorful and we absolutely love this set. Next night though is my upgraded Sauron using The Dark Lord instead 😈😆

Thank you for the Video - was so much fun to watch and see how the cards play out.
Bought all the decks and they are super sweet. So far I am loving Riders of Rohan the most. It pops off and goes wide super quick. As always these continue to brighten my day and always make me happy. Thank you Brian and Olivia for these videos. Whenever I am feeling the world and weight on my shoulders, I pop these on and am in a safe space.
Hey y’all got a sponsor!! Yay!! I also picked up the full set of precons and loved them, the grixis needs a bit of help, but overall one of the best pre-con sets in my opinion
I love love LOVE your logo! that is so cool! hats off to whoever came up with that design! This channel is great as well as Elder Dragon Hijinks!
This was a great show, maybe my favourite so far. A really good energy, Nice decks and bad jokes. Thanks to all involved (including Alias if she is still editing).
Yay Chris! Haven't seen him since his hilarious episode on Spellslingers!
for me, the fun in watching a game of magic is determined entirely by the players who play it and you guys are reallt fun to watch
Oh my god. I even opened a Shadowfax and didn’t get the “show them the meaning of haste” joke until Olivia just mentioned it. So many details in this set!
Glorious episode, as always! Love the Lotr-precon decks! So much flavor and synergy in a precon is just awesome! Played the upgraded Hobbit/Food-Precon at Command Fest all day and had a great time!^^
Really love this Series, thanks to Brian and Olivia for their effort on this! Also love, that you use the Music from Harris Heller! :D I wish I would be able to play with you guys, looks so much fun! Keep it up!
Love this video! As a new MTG player it's good to watch other people play since I'm a visual learner. Thank you a bunch!
Rachel embodying every LotR's nerd on our behalf! Lord of the Rings will forever be our Star Wars
Love the content!!! I actually built around both Aragorn and Treebeard from these decks and they have proven to be amazing decks. The ability of these precons and their potential really shine.
This game we had: 2 gorgeous Ladies 2 awesome Dudes 4 amazing and fun Decks Countless LotR-meme references And The most fun I ever had in watching 4 players play Commander in an eternity, all previous episodes included. TY all for this amazing experience and the laughs, and "woo"s and "wow"s and "oh"s! This expansion has been a doozy and a pleasure to play with on the mobile App and has given me countless fun memories already! I personally enjoy playing "There and Back Again", sacking my Smaug to Dragonspark Reactor and then burning for 14+. 😂 I am aware it's only a turn 8+ wincon, but if you stall enough, they never see it coming. 😉
First time watching Commander at Home. I feel like Olivia has a bit of OCD about making sure people's library is stacked perfectly straight. Fun game. Thanks for playing 🙂
Not gonna lie this is my favourite MtG content atm and the humor in this one was fantastic. Keep it up!
Thank you for the more raw and full game of commander. Makes me feel like im hanging by some friends playing, I hate videos editted like crazy. Keep it up!
What a great episode! This is my favourite!
Best commander series on KZread? It is so nice to see people just laughing and enjoying themselves.
Soooo great that you guys got a sponsorship worthy of the show! Congratulations!

Me and my group did this the other night, played out the exact same way. Love the power and consistency from the new precons.

Me watching: "Ooh Mortify! Kill the Shared Animosity! O-Olivia what are you- N-No kill the-... OLIVIA WHAT ARE YOU DOING KILL THE-... OLIVIA NO!"
I'm gonna need Rachel and Chris to adopt me. They are m favs. Rachel is always such a joy to watch play magic and D&D, to listen to talk about MtG, has brilliant deck tech that makes her one of the best out there, AND is just such a wonderful person. Chris is such a pure soul and watching him play is really amazing. The two of them together... LORD. The best.
Every episode I watch makes me ready to buy my home with a big kitchen and living room for these type of nights I see in the intro
Chris Kluwe is the man. he put money aside and did what is right. stood up for other's rights and stood up for Ray Guy also. much respect
Congratulations on getting a sponsor🎉

Chris Kluwe!!!!!!! SKOL!!!!! Followed Chris for a LONG time especially as a Vikings Fan/WoW Nerd and game enthusiast! And now he’s making appearances on here?!?!? Oh Rachel, Chris, and The Fam? STACKED and STOKED!
Just like Super Mario RPG, that Frying Pan did WORK. 😂
finally, an episode that does my name justice
"we did it team - we can cook breakfast" - made me laugh from the heart
Brian, I played subjugate the hobbits the other night similarly. Table was not happy about it lol Also so happy Rachel is featured. Been waiting for Rachel/Olivia shenanigans
That intro is the coziest thing every
I'm happy to see you guys got sponsored! Moving up in the mtg KZread scene.
I love what yall do, favorite Magic couple!!!
Now we have three cooks, a Frying pan 🍳, cookbook and a oven.
Great episode! You guys are awesome
I'm so excited for this episode! My brother and I finally dove into MTG because of LOTR, he bough the Forces of Mordor deck and I got the Riders of Rohan one as well! My favorite deck right now is my Shelob deck and stealing other people's creatures as food.
I'm on the same boat Olivia! Super Mario RPG was my childhood favorite. Wish the collab would have continued between the companies, makes me wonder what else they would have come up with!
Love seeing Chris Kluwe in a commander video I hope he is on more in the future. I miss listening to him on the 93X halfass morning show when he played for the Vikings. Also love his shirt!
"What can hobbits do against such reckless hate?" "Ride out and eat it!"
