Nothing quite like having two great guests, both of whom brought Slivers, and somehow Kibler achieved Arch-Enemy.

I've been playing commander and magic for now 3 years with my friends. From the 30 to 50 channels i visited in this 3 years non has give me more joy than your intro and your vibes on most of your videos. It trully looks like friends that you can act so natural in front of the camera and it's amazing how you have all that fun. Really apreciate your videos, i wish there were a way to play with you some at least once in my life. Thank you!

Regal Behemoth adds *any* color. Mirari's Wake adds any color that land *could* produce, meaning if you have a land that could tap for red or green you can tap it for red and then add green with the Wake ability; which is what they meant by "mix and match".

@felizpanda wrong, mirari's wake's trigger adds one mana of any color that land PRODUCED, so once you pick a color, it produced that color, and you can only make that color with mirari's wake. There is no mix and match.

Alluren gives flash for prof at 46:00
always enjoy my day more when there is a Commander at Home episode! *whispers to Brian, that is what the script said I was suppose to say right?* lol for real though, love this channel so much!
“I build good decks I just can’t pilot them.” This is too relatable
Leave it to Kibler and Olivia to do one of the best ad segments I’ve seen I loved the acting in that factor bit!
another awesome episode! thanks for bringing this pod together. And really nice combo Lupo!! 45:42 Hey Prof, i couldn't find a single spell that gives everyone or even target player flash, only a combos like Psychic Theft on you sorcery with a Leyline of Immersion out
A couple of small corrections, for the future: mirari’s wake adds a color the land produced, not a color it COULD produce, and when you cascade for a value that’s not in your deck, you have to shuffle afterwards. Neither would have really affected the outcome of the game in this case, and it’s the kind of small mistake that’s everyone makes from time to time, but I figured I’d share so people know for next time.
I was so happy when they reprinted the M14 slivers with more classic sliver art. Great game. 🖖🏻
For anybody wondering, the card brian kibler showed at the end was authority of the counsels. My favorite enchantment. Thank you kibler. Love the videos.

Love seeing two of my favorite commanders going hard in the paint.
Always a pleasure to see Prof play, and it was nice to see Dr Lupo back as well!
27:17 classic move prof! Takes me back to my early days in 95.
The answer to prof’s question, “Tidal Barracuda” will let any player cast spells as though they had flash but not on the owner of Tidal Barracuda’s turn
You should try an episode where Olivia gets to go before Brian in turn order. See how the games would go then!!

awesome game with crazy cool free casting, cascading, healing etc. love these games! Lupo and Prof are great guests. Hope to see them again!
Boy, one more episode of my favourite archenemy gameplay channel! Gotta love Brian
Oh the Professor is a must watch, to see the banter between him and Olivia is generally hilarious! DrLupo is also a fun guest!
11/10 episode, I built a first sliver deck a while ago and just figured out why I should include morophon
Yeah, I totally agree with Dr. Lupo. I have a "First Sliver" Sliver tribal deck. It may not be as good as his was, but it's really fun to play, when it works.
This was such a good dynamic of a pod!
@Commamderathome: Just wanted to give you two powerful cards for the Will deck: Well of Lost Dreams, and Words of Worship. Of the two, Words of Worship is better than the Well, because you can pay 1 to replace a card draw with gaining 5 life -- which, with Will, reduces your spells all by 5. The Well is just synergistic because as long as you have mana, you can pay 1 mana to draw a card anytime you gain life.
Amazing game! And I loved the bit where everyone was "joking" about how hard it would be to script one of these games. Haha, good one y'all! *wink*
I'd love to see a pod of nothing but slivers. 6 players, one for each sliver legend. Battle to see the best sliver
I love the variety of decks played on this show so much.
I love how quickly each episode becomes everyone vs Kibler.
Tidal Barracuda can give your opponents spells flash, but the other person would ALSO have to have an instant speed enabler (something like Alchemist's Refuge) to give the Barracuda flash as well :)
Two sliver commanders in one game, instant chaos. This episode was awesome.

I have a roommate that plays first sliver and the fact that Brian managed to do what he did is baffling to me. Out of all the games I played against Slivers and it was only once and with my Ceasar deck and my roommate happened to get really messed over on his draws. Still was fun. Great video as always.
love watching your games trying to finally start up commander after a long break from magic I really enjoy your games their super fun to watch and give me fun ideas for decks
This is awesome i wanted to see how slivers play, and now theres two of them, perfect timing
For Prof: Tidal barracuda is the only one that comes to mind for everyone having flash. If you don't know it, it's a super fun card! It's flash for everyone, but pseudo grand abolisher on the controllers turn
“I build good deck. I just cant pilot ‘em” where can i get that shirt😂
I'm so glad to see an Ovika deck, I have one myself and I enjoy playing so much and my friends get worried playing against it cause of the fun things that can happen.
I'm a simple guy, I see prof and Olivia, I'm watching
42:09 guys! Mirari's Wake sais "any type that land producED"! So if you tap a bi- or triland for (let's say) R, you'll get RR! The only case in which you get another color of your choice is with lands like the bounce lands; in that case you tap for (let's say) RB and can choose wether to add RBB o RRB.
first 5 min already so wholesome - love yall laughing and having fun.

I need to see Brian's Tetzin deck in action! He is one of my favorite commanders to play in my group. Once I heard Joey at EDHREC mention you had built one, I had to ask!

From Tarkov to Magic the Gathering. It's surprsingly awesome to see @DrLupo play commander with my one of my fav content creators
It was a happy day for me when I defeated a First Sliver deck with my Brimaz mono-white soldiers deck. Also fun when I used my mono-blue Baral control deck to defeat a Sliver Overlord deck. But, Olivia did the right thing allying with the Slivers when Brian's crazy deck was popping off!
Me literally heating up my Factor meal while listening to this episode's Factor ad for me to settle in and watch
Dr. Lupo using a Shroud ability as a problem for the table (Brian) is pretty finny
34:38 what a callback😂
48:00 I know she had the mana to pay for it, but did Olivia skip paying the force of will cost? And quite possibly the commander tax as well? 🤔 unless one of her lands tap for two? Part of the script? 😂
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Caw-Blade..... I put black in mine for the Creeping Tar Pit.... Gotta love an unblockable sword carrier lol
