Summary

The game featured four players piloting distinct and thematic Commander decks in a casual but strategically rich multiplayer setting. Early turns focused on ramp and setup, with players playing lands like Command Tower, Stomping Ground, and Morphic Pool to fix their mana and prepare for their strategies. Wubby’s deck, led by Flubs, the Fool, adopted a unique approach focused on keeping his hand empty and leveraging the quirky nature of his commander. Baddie played a Rona, Herald of Invasion deck centered around assembling a powerful indestructible 8/8 token, embracing a tribal and token synergy theme. Lua Stardust piloted Aragorn, the Uniter, a multicolor deck that aimed to cast impactful spells and unify the board, while the Professor’s deck details were not fully revealed but involved a strong strategic undercurrent. Early game involved a lot of interaction, including a surprising untapped Spectator Seating and a Demonic Tutor from Lua, indicating a willingness to quickly assemble key pieces. The dynamics were friendly but competitive, with players referencing past conflicts and promising a tense but enjoyable match.

Description

We filmed this episode with Wubby (PaymoneyWubby / WubbyMagicMonday), Baddie (BaddieStreams), and Lua Stardust…but didn’t want it to air. So instead we filmed a SECOND game using different decks, and THAT is the game you have already (hopefully) watched. But many Magic: The Gthering players have asked for this “CANCELLED” episode….so here it is!
