  • @voltcorp
    "reading the room explains the room" IS GENIUS
  • @Devininity
    I love how Arin plays magic exactly how he plays everything else
  • @Taalia_Vess
    Thank you so much for having me on this episode with these guys. It was a blast! And HUGE shout out to all of thr crew and editors yall absolutely SLAYED
  • @pytawidmo
    This is probably the best representation of a usual commander night I've seen recorded.
  • @profozpin227
    The professor spamming "your go" in the MTGArena scene is pretty on-point lmfao
  • @knick5639
    Editor put in some serious work this episode and im loving it.
  • @javi624
    “I understand the bookcase on planes you cannot fathom!” Maybe one of the greatest single lines of speech in the history of us, as a people, so far.
  • @SparkyUpstart
    I'd love to see a game with Arin and Spice8Rack at the same time just so they can have matching breakdowns :P
  • @CrosswaIk
    Spencer Crittenden!?! Amazing get! I haven't seen him since HarmonQuest
  • @bloddyseymore
    The fact that the prof thinks arin can sit still is hilarious
  • @VoxyTwitch
    If you're feeling warm in your loins I'm sorry to tell you that isn't comradery, that's crabs.
  • @Telefiend
    This is how magic should always be played. A lot of laughter and noone taking themselves too seriously. It's so hard to find that kind of group.
  • @mattledoux2340
    I love that pleasant kenobi was just sitting reading a book, looks like he’s waiting to do the next dies to removal 😉
  • @teamcyeborg
    "Is Tarmogoyf in here?" Makes me want to see the opposite of this episode, where every card has to be $50 or more
  • @Martini_1911
    Honestly I loved the Station Agent/various movies tangent partway in. I feel like moments like that are why I like Shuffle Up and Play so much. Other MTG gameplay shows would have probably cut all of that since it had nothing to do with the game
  • @kymaeraa8631
    Lmao “reading the room explains the room” is a fantastic line
  • @IanNaeger
    This episode is fantastic! Between the "crappy" decks and the "You haven't seen X" bit, it felt just like a game of commander at home around the kitchen table with friends. Also the editing is top notch!
  • This might be my favorite episode.... The editing... The sidebars.... The random tangents... SOOOOOOOOO good 🤣🤣🤣
