This is why we stan. Prof is just such a lovely person who can't stand to see his friends put themselves down - and since that's Spice's favorite form of comedy (I feel it, it's one of mine too), these interactions are quite common. This whole table is amazing and I wish it wasn't parasocial to say I want to be friends with all of them.

Man, I just love the way Sam plays Magic. I can't imagine anyone more chill to have at your table, you know? The anecdotes and wry jokes add a real, "We're playing poker with an old friend" feeling to the game that is so pleasant. Even if he was beating you down, I can't imagine feeling anything other than like, "Man, this dude is cool to hang out with..."

I love the accidental(?) ludo-narrative harmony of the nostalgia deck game have tons to do with time; two players with future sight (with the time-traveling magus arriving before the enchantment he's inspired by), Spice in a time loop of repeating the same turn of recurring the dead to recur the memories of magic to evoke glimpses of what's to come. Even Prof's vampires fitting the theme as immortal beings that never age, with Prof himself referring to his life total like his age as if a kind of Benjamin Button type.

Hey prof! @tolariancommunitycollege I just wanted to thank you for getting me into magic. The last 6 months i’ve been dealing with my puppy and somewhat of a down period, i found your channel and have been binging since. You made me buy my first commander deck, made step out of my comfortzone and i took contact with local players here in Norway whom i have been playing with the last weeks. If we ever would be crossing paths, whether in the states or anywhere else in the world, i would like to shake your hand and thank you in person. I now have a new passion, and some new friends. Thank you!

This video is proof that more powerful magic doesn't necessarily mean more fun magic. This was an absolute blast!

The pod alone is a guarantee for fun and entertainment. I can only speak for myself, but if you would be doing this every year forward in this "composition" I would be happy to watch it all (and every other episode of Shuffle Up & Play

Prof out here with real spirit of the format energy. You pick a thing you think is cool, put in things that fit the theme and make it work, and after three hours you've finally got a winner.

36:37 And again, Prof runs off camera to grab his bag of counters! Confetti and all! Thanks editors!

I have to say Prof, this was my absolute favorite episode of Shuffle Up & Play yet! What a fantastic group, and it's even better that it ended the way it did. Honestly reminded me of when I made my first commander deck when Shards of Alara came out (I built a Kresh hydras deck, boy was that a fun time) and all the fun I had with my friends before things got so complex. Seeing that final play really made me stoked, thank you so much for the wonderful entertainment and making me feel like I played a game with old friends.

rhystic and spice are just the literal best together, and I would watch them play games and riff forever. god I love them.

I love when its just banter back and forth for a while with no actual gameplay. It's genuinely just fun and feels like my own table when I play. Cant wait for that Behind the Campus video Prof!

what an amazing pod, playing the best style of commander, the slower, chill meandering kind. Always a delight to see Sam and Spice across from each other, and Kenji enabled so many fun moments. Really, top notch episode, and fantastic work on the editing too

The last second sentiment is the perfect capstone for this episode. Magic was indeed made, and the world is a better place for it. Thank you to everyone involved in making this show.

That has got to be one of my favorites I've seen! Great group there and great idea of recreating your first commander decks!

Grats on the win Prof! Also love the otter/twink chat in pride month, look forward to season 3!

We can see that Spicy8rack of chest hair creeping up. Spice is definitely an otter

I love this episode/idea. It honestly just inspired me to try to remember all of the cards I had in my first commander deck I built, Reya Dawnbringer. I had just gotten back into Magic around the Shards of Alara block when I discovered what commander was and Reya was my favorite legend from the past. Talk about nostalgia! Also it shows how differently I thought about deck building back then.

Congrats on 1million subs. Little early your at 999k but enjoying the shuffle up and plays and as one of the new subs feel the need to say your kinda getting me into Magic the Gathering.

Love you guys!❤ Can't wait to see what new and exciting stuff season 3 brings forth. Would love to have more F&B, and other card games from time to time. Maybe even doing a quick stint into pokemon would be fun! I've never played, but I collected the cards growing up (and played the SHIT out of most of the games!) And as for mtg, I think having Gavin, Kibler, and Josh on for a game of Archenemy could be fun. But the question is, who gets to be the Archenemy?😂

I'm happy to have supported season 2. Here's to many more!

An amazing season, every video really got across that feeling of a bunch of friends having fun. ❤ This video in particular made me very aware that my first deck was Thromok the Insatiable and it is very slow by todays standards. It took years to put together and was a collaboration between all of my MTG playing friends ideas and cards. It is a collection of treasured memories and I love it dearly for that.

Yaaaaaaaaay, one of the best commander games I've watched! Thank you Prof, Spice, Kenji, Sam and all the amazing team behind SU&P! I hope to see more of it and more of TCC!!!
