This long and amazing video deserves a long and amazing comment. Instead here's this: I love the humor Joe edited into the vid, especially any and all wrestling and Adventure Time/Bravest Warriors references. Fun fact, I have a Catbug d6. Beezey has a very good narration voice as well. I started playing around Onslaught and off and on from there, so I love all the nostalgia I get form watching this. My first "EDH" deck was around the time of the format's takeoff in popularity, Scion of the Ur-Drag0n, and was followed shortly after by the original version of Kaervek. Years later, my first "Commander" deck, was actually Karador, so I too love that guy. I've been playing ever since and haven't missed a commander precon cycle since 2013. You guys are awesome, can't wait for more!

This project was literally amazing. Home run for sure. Exemplary in every way. I am a Cedh player so naturally several on my picks differ from yours. This should not be misconstrued as a negative comment as you are clearly evaluating the cards from a casually competitive perspective. Overall this segment was my favorite you guys have put together so far. Top notch in every way. Great job.

My lord what a project, thanks for the effort guys, awesome video

This was super informative and interesting! Great job guys

killer video, one can see how much effort went into it. also fun to play a little guessing game before each set and try to name the card which was deemed #1

That was a cool brief history of magic through the lens of commander for me. I played some in 2012 but didn’t get into the game until 2019.

This video was very fun to watch good job. Personally I would like to have seen a version where lands and mana producing cards were excluded. Because they are predictably the go to pick after I saw they were included.

This is incredible. I'm in awe with this list.

This is Epic! As a returning mtg player its like going back time and remember all those good n bad dsys of magic. I hope we can get more content like these...
