I never got the appeal of commander but with time I grew to absolutely despise it. The ubiquity of commander content online and cards in every set actually got me to stop playing Magic and I only watch channels that actually talk about other aspects of the game as well (hence why I'm here). I love the non-commander episodes of SU&P and I think that in contrast to the samey commander episodes they actually feature some very welcome diversity and honestly great content. I know they don't bring the views commander content does but I really hope people finally get tired of commander within the next couple of years so that the game can actually return to being open, diverse, experimental, ACTUALLY casual (I don't see how a format with such strict deck building rules and a ban list is casual) and fun...

One of the benefits of a shared deck format is that there's no added strife from bad matchups, strong feelings toward certain decks, etc.

Super happy that this is one of the few magic channels that provides players with not only several formats within magic (as opposed to just Commander,) but other card games as well. Huge thanks to you, Prof for continuing to give a shout to so many great ways to play the game, and thanks to Sam for his wonderful vid on the start of the concept! Oh, and thanks to Georg for continuing to be a super cool dude, and funny as hell!😂 Love you guys, gotta go and pick up the few cards I need to form a Dandan deck before prices go up... The best thing about a format like Dandan, is that the decklists are known, but that also means that you can grab the cards, sleeve them up, and have a dedicated deck box or section in your oversized deck box for this deck and not worry about improving the deck or swapping out any cards per new set release. All it takes is the one deck, a friend, and somewhere to play it!

I learned what DanDan is through the teasers at the end of the previous videos and I'm very excited for this episode!

I like the out of left field formats like this. It shows how versatile magic is as a game and the ideas people can come up with.

This was really cool to watch. The swing from Rhystic Studies looking to have an easy win to Georg having big card advatage and then Diminishing Returns just resetting the whole thing was a trip.

Ever since I watched Sam's video on Forgetful Fish, I've wanted to watch him play it. It hasn't disappointed.

Every time I see DanDan, I desperately want to play it. What a wonderfully simple yet deep format.

Dandan has really reignited my passion for the game last year. Collecting the cards and playing with the assembled deck is a ton of fun. I have yet to meet a person who wasn’t sold on it after playing a game or two. It is easily the crown jewel of my collection. Thanks Sam for making a video on it. Happy to see it get more coverage.

I'm so glad I got to see this format in action. Loved Rhystic's video on the format, and as an aspiring game designer and blue mage seeing the plays and hidden depth of the card choices is like a dream.

I've played mtg for about 30 years now and Dandan was the art that sparked my imagination. I got my forgetful fish deck as soon as I heard about it and it's been a blast to play. Thanks for showing this!

Oh my god that was insanely awesome! Felt like a real wizard battle

AMAZING match! Loved how Sam and Georg explain their thought process

I’m extremely excited for the next episode! I love Team APS and I’m so glad they finally played some Commander ❤

I love this format, it is great to play in-between games. There is a sweet printable 3D deck holder that features the two boats beginning to capsize as the fish surfaces on CuIts3D, definitely worth checking out. Longest game we've played has been about 30 minutes, this was an EPIC DanDan match. DanDan - White which is Lost Leonin is an amazing variant, you can actually toss all the Phyrexian mana cards in there and its a race to give a player 10 poison counters so it is still 5 attacks worth BUT you get to use life as a resource for all 5 colors of the Phyrexian mana which is extremely fun.

This specific decklist is posted, but I'd be really interested to see how it's updated over time but I haven't been able to find an archidect/moxfield/etc for rhystic. I have mystic tutor in mine and am removing it because it doesn't feel fun on either side of the interaction. If it were a sorcery then it'd be different I think. Great game though! Was entertaining the whole time and everything I love about blue.

yes dandân!!! i've never played but it's so fascinating to watch... found out about it first through the excellent rhystic studies video, so feels appropriate to seem him play it here!

Dandan with Rhystic study isn't a dream, its very real and a treat.

Saw the Card Market videos on Dandan so was VERY excited to see the preview from the last Shuffle Up And Play.

every single play they make feels lile the biggest outplay ever, which i guess that's what dandan does. Loving it ❤

That Rhystic Studies video made me fall in love with this format and build my own Dandan deck. I now have designs to build a white one...revolving around Barren Glory.

I’ve always loved the idea of a shared library. When I was first learning to play me and my friends didn’t have much so we would shuffle up a deck and both play from it. Dandan brings me back to those days in high school. I’m really interested in a red variant of Dandan. I envision it to be faster and possibly not even creature based. Almost like Buckshot roulette. I can also see it as a manic frenzy of random discards and land control. There’s just so many ways to build with the foundations of Magic. I live this game.

The way they talked through it tempts me to make a proxy DanDan deck 😁

This was peak Blue Mage Magic. Congrats to Sam for winning and congrats to Georg for his resilience and slipperiness.

2 of the best guests of the show! And what a fun format to see showcased! Thanks Prof and TCC!

This episode was insane! The mind games and stack wars were very entertaining to witness.

George going down to one life halfway through the video ajd Sam desperately trying to get a threat to stick for the rest of the game is wonderful

Dan-Dan is one of my new favorite ways to play magic and sams video from last year got me into it! Love seeing you highlight different formats shuffle up and play prof, and I get excited to try them all too.

As a German viewer, it's always a little highlight for me when Georg says something in German, because you don't expect to hear an accent-free, perfectly pronounced German word in between all the English

This is awesome! I'd also LOVE to see you guys play Judge's Tower!

This is my favourite episode of all time, I've watched it 4 times now and just made my own Dandan deck, I've never been so excited to play magic and I've been a dedicated magic player for over a decade

Always a delight to see Shuffle Up and Play. Thanks Prof and friends!!!

Never played dandan but always have wanted to. Loved this! And I love everything to do with Sam and Rhystic Studies. Truly showing the love of what Magic has to offer

What a great format, and the next Shuffle Up & Play is going to be a treat, i was waiting for this one a long time lets GOOOOOOOOO

This is my favorite episode yet. Like wow, this was such a cool format to see. The thinking alone is so entertaining.

What an absolute blast of a game, great people involved and also... holy cow Prof, episode 50 of SUP? It feels like it just started yesterday! Congrats on the big 50th episode, looking forward to many more to come!

This was the coolest episode I've seen yet! I was smiling the entire episode as they went back and forth! Good win and good game.

Such a simple idea with such an incredible execution, this format is truly something else

Really great to to have the prof there to ask questions and act as the audience who don’t know exactly why they play when they Do! Super fun episode!

Really great episode and tension just kept mounting as the game progressed. Love seeing these more niche sides of magic!

thank you for showing this off! showing off new formats and the love for the community is always appreciated!

As a newer player, Dan Dan games are a really fun way to see the more intricacies of Magic and interactions. Awesome video.

This is rad! I love seeing niche formats go so hard!

Best game ever played, fun and also useful to learn a lot on how the stack works. Loved it!

This was a lot more fun to watch than I thought it would be, smart pilots and entertaining talents!

Very interesting episode showcasing other ways Magic can be played. Also I like how guys are explaining ideas behind certain plays and strategies. Thumbs up! ❤

This was incredible, I really enjoyed the back and forth in this episode. George just kept in the game until the very end. Rhystic is a joy of a content creator and I would love to see more "fan created" formats even if they aren't the most popular videos to make.

Oh my God. This looks like so much fun. I knew nothing about this format and now I want my own deck

I've always been so interested in Dandan. Thanks for a great demo of the format!

That is SUCH a cool format and a new favorite episode for sure!

This format rules! I have to build this at some point oh my gosh this looks so fun. Great guests to have on for this too. Learned a lot and had a lot of fun.

Absolutely fantastic!!!

I loved this episode so much. A buddy in my playgroup just put together a dandan deck!

I'm so excited to finally see this being played. Loved it!

You know, I really love the subtle information reveal from alternate arts and library searches. I think it adds to the fun!

This was such a well done episode, Prof. Might be one of the most interesting episodes of any MTG I have seen. Also, give props to the production team. The sing shots were looking crisp with the blurred background.

It is really cool to see how many different ways there are to take the basic gameplay of magic and use it to create all these unique formats like Dandan or Judge's tower

Kyle Hill once made a video on how MtG is Turing complete. I like to imagine Dandan as an old, classic game designed to run on an MtG engine.

I loved Sam's video, but haven't seen it played. This was fascinating, exactly the kind of magic I love.

Georg’s jacket is ICONIC.

I love watching these offshoot format videos! Gives me an opportunity to look around the set and to see what you might've changed. Hopefully you'll explain some of them in your Behind the Campus video!

This has made me want to make a Dandan deck! It looks like a real breath of fresh air and something that can just live in my bag with all my magic stuff; cracking out whenever the mood takes me!

This was such a fun game!! I love how much Sam loves Dandân. Also, it looks like the neck of his t-shirt was mended by hand and I think that's cool :)

Love these non-commander episodes! It's refreshing to see good non-commander content. I like commander, but it's a media desert for most other formats and modes of play.
