As a long time MTG player, I had the biggest grin seeing Paul use Haruspex’s ability to survive the board wipe. Sometimes newer players don’t really like taking counters off their creatures to get other benefits (the same can be said for sacrificing/aristocrats playstyles). I don’t know exactly how much Magic Paul has played since he got introduced to the game but it’s so cool that he knows everything in the game can be used as a resource! EDIT: And he likes green! And as a fellow green player I automatically love anyone who loves playing big dumb stompy

Honestly Alec did great. He got a bit lucky with the sol ring, but made excellent use of it. He played on curve, he remained threatening, he ramped really well, no wasted mana, survived 2 board wipes, and didn't crack under pressure when literally every other player was targeting him. He played very smart and very well imo, and the performance was funny as well. For a fairly new magic player, I'd say he did awesome.

Everyone from the 80's grew watching this show and recently, a car brand made a commercial with the characters and went absolutely viral. Here it had a different name that would be translated to something in the lines of "the dragon's cave", "Caverna do dragão" in PT.

The friends are the allies we had for one turn. APS learned the value of Deathtouch and Trample today.

The base card for Samwise Gamgee does include the reminder text for both Food tokens and Historic permanents. It's the showcase and extended arts that they usually remove the reminder text from for aesthetic reasons. Keeping a copy of the base cards in your deck (or a proxy with the reminder text) nearby for people to read can go a long way to clearing up confusion while also allowing you to bling out your deck.

Just want to expand on the Legend Rule interaction with Slicer / Sculpting Steel, in case anyone is confused: It DOES work that way, inspite of Slicer stating you cannot sacrifice him, because the Legend Rule isn't technically a sacrifice - it is a state-based zone change of a permanent. It's hyper specific, and looks and functions almost exactly like a sacrifice, but is not in fact a sacrifice. So good play there, very clean way to answer the cEDH car of doom.

I first learned about Team APS from this channel when I went on a mini-binge of "here's cards from our card game"-style videos, and still follow their stuff even though I don't play YGO anymore. It was super cool to see them here shuffling up, and the trashtalk and banter were absolutely on point; in my top five episodes for sure! Thanks guys.

41:36 that silent clip of PK ranting and finger banging an imaginary doughnut hole nearly had me wake the whole house with my howl

huge fan of the team aps crossovers so glad to see them on shuffle up and play

LoTR nerd here: The end conclusion of the Council of Elrond was basically that either they had to try and permanently hide it (possibly by casting it into the ocean or a fissure or something) or destroy it. The main problem being that hiding it was essentially passing the buck to the next generation. Even if the ring was never recovered (which was no certainty), Sauron couldn't be destroyed as long as it existed and even if they triumphed over him now, he would return in time to threaten the world again.

Just gonna say congrats for 25 years prof that is an achievement not many can claim in marriage

41:39 That callback reference made me crack up more than it should!😂 It's just so funny seeing Vince mime that with no audio!

Team APS is what got me back into Yu-Gi-Oh!, and they're how I found this channel and got into Magic. They've definitely connected/reconnected me to cardboard and I love it!

I just want to take a moment to recognize how COOL Paul's Final Fantasy shirt is. Looking good dude!

I love how much slower this game was and the detail you guys put into explaining certain cards or functions. Great vid for entry level players to learn

Thank you for making great content that is fun to consume! The joy from the first hand from Team APS was awesome to see. All the content with other creators has been amazing, especially when I see the Professor as the guest elsewhere!

We just play stuff we like or we expect or want to be to our skill set and i think thats an amazing aspect of commander.

I'd love more crossovers like this with Team APS. IM A GOOD ONE TURN ALLY is iconic now hahahaha

Prof and team APS have great chemistry on screen ❤

Prof had one chance to play with the my little pony secret lair, and win a game of magic with exodia.

This was such a great game, loved the banter and bickering! Have these guys back again soon!

I truly hope there's more shuffle up and play commander episodes with Team APS. They are my favorite yugioh channel and this episode was just great. Truly a masterpiece

So happy to see Team APS back on the channel! I've never been big into Yugioh, but had a good number of friends that were, and the Team APS guys seem like such awesome guys in that community. I think it's cruel but hilarious that Prof had them all play with so many UB cards!😂 I guess it's nice to have them lean into the world of MtG by having them experience what the recent years of the game have become (and how it's changed gameplay, as well as game perception.) I'm not complaining about it, though. People can buy their Fallout, and Warhammer, and Assassin's Creed cards if they want; the regular game will still be there, just with more convoluted mechanics and wordy cards... Always happy to see the channel branch into communities of other card games. Love ya, Prof! Thanks for all you do!❤🤙

FINALLY!! Been waiting for this since the Prof was introduced to Yugioh. Really it was Team APS coming on to Tolarian that got me to take a look at all this "Magic Commander" hubbub, 4+ months and 7 commander decks later it's safe to say this crossover is what got me to add another children's card game to my hobbies.

Really enjoyed how Team APS played here. I was yelling out that Haruspex play and Paul actually caught it, from a new player no less. Incredible! Basilisk Collar onto Slicer should've been more beneficial to Alec but other than that, Team APS did a great job!

I hope we get to see more Team APS playing magic either here or in their channel It was so good, plus I personally relate to this episode the most. After retiring from Yugioh in 2022 (since the game in my opinion became too broken and too much to handle) I’m so glad I got into magic, and even though I may be still new with it, I’m definitely enjoying it so much more!

100% need more episodes with the boys to get them into the game more, plus this is one of the most wholesome episodes for some reason to me lol

APS! I'm not a Yu-Gi-Oh player but still watch APS and it's great seeing these continued collabs. :)

"He oopsie-doopsied into a win" made me ugly laugh. Great episode!

11:20 They don’t do it for special treatments, such as the showcase, borderless, and extended art printings. If you look at the regular Samwise Gamgee card, it features reminder text explaining both Historic and Food.

FINALLY! Been waiting for this since when Prof learned about Yu-Gi-Oh!

People who helped me learn yugioh playing with the dude who helps everyone learn magic.. this is very wholesome. Cept I can already tell Larry is up to no good 😂

There is a huge difference on how you feel when you get caught by sneaky wording and when you've been straight up lied to. It's a perspective thing, and it's not even that hard to word things carefully to dance around your true objectives without lying. My group plays with wording all the time as well and the game is definitely better knowing you can rely on someone's word, if you can figure out the fine print they're dancing around.

18:51 I haven't seen very many of your gameplay videos before so maybe this is very normal but i just wanna say I absolutely love the editing here!!! to rotate the boards so that they're easier for the viewers to see, that's so clean!!!

That is some deluxe banter at this table xD Really love their dynamic

I like how you can see that they are yugioh players by where they have their decks compared to the rest of the guests that usually appear on SUP

Very cool! Love to see more teach the professor other TCGs

Absolutely fantastic video. One of the most hilarious, entertaining things I’ve seen on KZread in awhile. Definitely more Commander with Team APS, when schedule allows, of course!

14:33 As someone who recently started playing Commander after being a YuGiOh! player I think the best way to put it is: “We trade one villain for another.” Also as someone who started with Dogmeat myself, watching Alec's choice to not grab Strong Back at 46:30 was painful. We could've had a beefy doggo with Deathtouch, Haste, Hexproof and Lifelink on a 12/9 body, I'm pretty sure we had just enough land for it. Edit: just got to the part where Idolized comes in and I guess that's fine too, but god is Strong Back such a fun card...

I was waiting for this episode, gotta love when APS have a great time with the professor

You know why Alec's commander is Dogmeat? Because Dogmeat is the only companion in fallout 4 that will love you unconditionally, and Alec pissed off all the other ones.

The love that the professor shows to other creators in the card game space is unmatched. He deserves so much. ❤

Seeing this brought back so many memories. Back In the day I would play Yugioh with my two best friends but because there was three of us one person was always left out so we developed a commander for Yugioh and called it Yugioh Free-For-All. We never played magic so we didn’t know commander even existed. We had politicking, cards that worked better in this format vs normal Yugioh. Good times.
