Anthony Aguilar what about Owen turtlesalt!

"That will bring me to Knight-teen." Nice.

I love you guys playing with the precons that we can get our hands on. It gives me new ways to look at the decks and different ideas for value engines in a deck that I thought only had one engine. Seeing all these strengths and weaknesses allows me to augment these decks without, you know, actually having to do the work.

"I'm the aggro deck." -Josh playing the Mardu Knights deck. LUL, nah, that's Alela. Proven by the Brawl event on MTG Arena. The knights deck ended up being more mid-range. Though Alela hilariously overpowered the other decks in a 1v1, it'll struggle to effect the game as much as it did in a 4 player game. Nice to see how these decks function in an environment they were designed for.

It's cool to see your perspective, as I used Chulaine and locked people out with Frilled Mystic. A few friends and I thought that deck was overpowered. Might be fun to recreate this Game Knight at home.

1v1 is a lot different from 4p.

I played Korvold alot during the MTGA event, and I honestly had a hard time taking even one victory from Alela. Alela has so many mana/card generators, along with costing less to play, AND being basically a better Vampire Nighthawk, that Korvold could rarely even attack once, which is a bit of a pity for a Commander that quickly hits the 15/15 mark. And when Sephara hits the field, it's gg. Chulane could lock her out if you had the right combo, but even then Alela could often just break the combo somehow and swarm out. On a similar note, anyone have an idea when the full Brawl format is going to hit MTGA? I enjoy singleton formats a lot and I'm getting seriously bored of playing against one of two annoying decks repeatedly (Monored Cavalcade of Cancer and WB lifegain) in Standard play. I literally haven't played against any other deck in over 10 games.

@@Ceracio I feel the same. I just make random janky decks. What ever I have I use more fun that way that's why I'm mostly a gold rank

Melissa is hands down the MVP, she helps out JLK twice even after all that he has done to her.

this game was amazing! bravo!!!! so much fun to watch!! I'm so interested now to start playing brawl, so glad I found this channel last week! been loving watching all these old episodes to fill in free time!

Melissa thank you so much for such incredible cards and concepts! You're the best and I love all of your work!

I see a lot of negative comments on this video and there are a couple of things I would like to address. First of, just a small reminder that their first "tie-in to the most recent set" legends game was episode 4 of GameKnight. And the Archennemy Bolas was episode 7. So the good old days lots of people are talking about aren't really a thing I feel. And if you mean still legends from recent sets but homebrewed on top of it, last one was two episodes ago. So it's pretty safe to say those are going to come back and continue. I understand the frustration because GK don't come out that often due to the pretty big production quality (I noticed a lot of improvement on feedback of effects and animation in this episode so it's something they are improving to this day). But at the same time I was making the observation that this show is really accessible to newcomers. GK was actually what got me into EDH in the first place and that was thanks to the editing and way they explain each move. And recently my little sister got her first precon edh deck and I was happy to have a gameknight episode that would showcase it so that she would learn how the deck works. That's why I really don't mind those types of videos because it shows that they will put the same amount of effort into a video for veteran edh players than in one for new players for which these brawl precons might be the first edh like experience they'll get before building a more refined edh deck. For me GameKnight also means accessible. And I have trouble getting into some other edh shows on youtube because I'm relatively new to the game (a bit more than a year) and don't know all the cards. And if I want someone to get a feel of what edh is I will point them to this channel because I know it is accessible. And for that, I'm glad they make videos on format that are less overwhelming to newcomers like Brawl is. It can be a gate opened to edh, but it's easier to pick up for someone who just started out thanks to the limited cardpool. So yeah "The sponsorship is ruining gameknight" I guess. But I know that if a friend, who never played magic, is interested in getting into it, I might tell them to start with a brawl precon, watch this video and then show them how they can upgrade the deck for edh. And that's important in my eyes too. So I'm thankful to the team. Because having their likable personality be a showcase for these makes it a pleasure even for me who enjoys more complicated homebrewed edh decks. And it gives me a good way to get friends or family into the game more easily. That's why I still loved this episode ^^

Thank you for bringing melissa back as a guest! Shes by far my favorite one youve had! Reid was a great guest on the show also!! Really amazing game you guys! Keep it up!!

Thanks so much for another great vid. You did nit only teach me how to play the game properly but you also helped me gain a lot of friends. You basically fixed my life.

JLK and JW, I just wanted to say that I appreciate the Game Knights podcasts and Game Knights Commander episodes so much! These episodes have been instrumental in helping me feel more educated and confident with things like understanding how different mechanics of the game work, and especially at what stages of a turn those effects would occur! Props to both of you for all of your hard work and helping the community be better at MTG!

Ruffle, like the chip? I think you mean riffle.

This episode was really good, like really good. So much back and forth!

This is a weird thing to say, but the scream that Reid does at the end is so satisfying lol

To be devils advocate, i REALLY enjoy that you guys play unedited precons on game knights. The chances are if the commander is good we will see it later in upgraded form, and also this is a way to show off the contents and uses/playpatterns of the decks. Its not very often we get commander precon decks so having a place to see them in action is very appreciated

I had the same experience with Knights brawl deck as Josh did, it's just terrible, so very A+B and regretfully super cluncky because of it - I constantly found myself creature-screwd and usless equipment-flooded! The Fairy deck was just the opposite, such an elegant and smooth-running engine, a true joy to pilot!

The fairy deck and knight decks have too many themes that they want to do but the fairy one is so much better at it imo. Like Syr Gwyn should probably be built voltron but to really make use of that triggered attack you want to be knight tribal??? However, if like she had whenever you cast an equipment you create a knight token and her last ability only worked on non-token knights then at least you have targets for all that equipment you are running. It's defo a cool card design but just kinda clunky.
