Studies show it's impossible to have a bad day when Ben Brode pops in to Commander at Home

I've already died laughing from just the "pre-game action", oh my god I love Ben Brode on this show.

"But you spent so much time on the shirt" should have won him the game right on the spot by dealing 21 out of combat commander damage to everyone.

I gotta say the current iteration of Brian Kibler's look is really doing it for him. Very Linux Software Engineer/Cool Dad vibes.

"I'm gonna play Phyrexian Metamorph targeting food!" Is so unhinged and absolutely golden.

Xolo the master of "less is more comedy" with the occasional one-liner to the solar plexus. "spent too much time on the shirt" killed me.

"I Phyrexian Metamorph the Food token" goes on the hall of fame of Commander moments of all time

Phyrexian food morphing has got to be one of the most hilariously beautiful plays ive ever seen. Second only to BILL THE GODDAMN PONY

Ben is always a blast, but it's lovely seeing Xolo loosen up every time he comes on, he's also a great guest.

I'm starting to think Ben comes over and stays for the weekend like we all did as kids! Is he always at your house? If you need to get him out blink twice....

It's funny how Xolo isn't a "pro gamer". Like, he still misses some interactions and sometimes doesn't make the most optimal play, not because he misplayed but because he genuinely doesn't know it's possible. And I absolutely *love it* !!! Gives this show that old "kitchen table" nostalgia, makes it seem like this is genuinely just a group of friends having fun at home with a game of magic 🥰

I love Xolo. He's just so fun and refreshing to watch

God this episode is killing me, “ITS NOT LIKE I HAVE TO KEEP THE INTEGRITY OF THE GAME OR ANYTHING BEN!”

I tried so hard to pay attention when the camera shifted to Brian & Olivia but Ellie being absolutely adorable and staring at her mommy pretty much the whole match was the highlight for me! Love you guys! This show is amazing & I'm always excited for the next episode!

OMG the game hasn't evnen started and i'm dying of laughter! Ben and his eternal fight against commander damage is fucking amazing! PLEASE NEVER CHANGE! also thanks for these videos, i love the homey atmosphere and the fun you all are having

lmao the edit on "Bill the Goddamn Pony" is immaculate

The missed Carth triggers from the All is Dust could've been crazy but otherwise I loved the energy in this game. Great job as always 😁

I love how they're all so supportive and helpful and trying to teach Xolo everytime he's on the show.

I’m surprised it took until 4:46 for commander damage to come up, it was expecting it to be the first thing mentioned with how passionate Ben is about it 😂

It's great that Ben Brode's love is conditional on how much commander damage you do to him and others. Loved the video as always!

I am ready for the Laughter! Also as an old school Joira player this makes me happy. I gave up my collection of Magic 6 Years ago. I live vicariously through this group.

Everytime ben brode is there its instantly, ben brode at home show. Fucking love it

"Im going to play all is dust" "I preferred it when things were NOT dust"

Fblthp in the trophy behind Ben and Xolo! Hey buddy! See you in Ravnica in a couple days! Thank y'all!

I have no clue what happened during the commander game because i sat there watching that little lovely doggos for 1 hour and 11 minutes. Best episode ever.

I will watch each and every Ben Brode episode, he is such a thoroughly entertaining addition to the pod 😂

Favorite channel as always. When is JLK coming on the show? It be great to see a mono colored battle with everyone playing the same color, or everyone playing with 5 color decks. That be sweet!

I loved watching you guys play. It has a feel of casual kitchen table vibe that I like. I've been watching and repeating some of my favorite episodes. Keep the videos coming 😊

The "pregame action" KILLED ME, gods I love Ben Brode - already know this game is going to be amazing

YAYYYYYYY BEN IS BACK! Yk that’s how it’s gonna be a good ep

These two guests are pure happiness and good vibes. I love them.

Nothing makes the day better than watching the new commander at home episode. Keep up the great work also happy to see the growth you all are going to get this year. PS happy new year to everyone that sees this comment and wish everyone the best in this upcoming year

I'm now only bringing Voltron to conventions, just in case I run into Ben.

A new year a new supply of salt ! Love y’all happy new year everyone !

Now I kinda want to make Ben a custom legendary creature called Commander Damage.

commander at home and hijinks got me back into commander last year and are a spot of sunshine when they comes out. Thanks for all the hard work!

Only part way through and it’s so entertaining! You guys are one of my favorite commander gameplay channels! (Also stupid rules thing about Boseiju, it does have to be a basic land. It just needs a basic land type- so a triome or shock or a mystic sanctuary would all be searchable off of Boseiju if they were in the deck)

I absolutely love the atmosphere you guys produce in your videos. I wish i had a community around me like this! That is the dream!

Best Intro vid in the commander yt game.

Ben Brode is my favorite guest. Always a riot when he comes. I have watched this episode five times.

This videos are by far the best moments of my weeks. Thank you all hahah :3

Ben is always hilarious. Another great episode, thanks for having us in your home, y'all.

Ben is the best! Makes every episode he is in amazing. Kyle and him would be the best episode of all time! Thank you, guys, for the awesome episodes!

Hey Olivia! I remember a few videos ago you mentioned you had a ton of white bordered lands from a liquidation sale. I'm trying to get my hands on a bunch of them for my decks. If you needed to get some of those boxes out of the house, I'd love to buy a chunk if possible. Much love ❤ Wonderful video, as always!

Great Episode. Always an instant hit on the play button when a new episode is up ❤

Fascinating episode! Always fun to see Ben Brode on an episode. He brings a certain level of energy that is hard to find in other places.

Ben is always a treat. Also, Boseiju says "with a basic land type" not "a basic land" so you can fetch duals and triomes and special lands like Mystic Sanctuary, etc..

Yay, more Ben!!! Gotta say, this is one of my fav Commander shows. Lotta commander KZfaqrs are in the Pasadena area and that gives me hope I'll run into one at a LGS commander night one day

Life will be complete when I look at anything the way the doggo looks at Olivia for the entirety of the video.

Ben is such a treat l, always making me laugh til I'm sore, and Xolo was such a good addition to the group. Every episode of commander at home is the best thing I've seen that day

Eepy Ellie almost nodding off throughout the entire video is adorable 🐾🫶

I LOVE THIS WHOLE THANG! I love everyone of yall! ❤

Gotta say never missed an episode. Love to see Olivia and Brian plus I love to see Ben I love his energy big fan of this channel you guys keep pumping out great episodes

I appreciate Olivia's mom energy this game. Keeping things in line so everyone can enjoy the game. Made the game much more enjoyable to watch so thank you :)

The energy in the episode is chaotic and I'm here for it.

What an absolute blast of a video to watch! Such a fun game! Good job guys! 🤙🏽

I want to live my life with the same amount of joy that Ben Brode has while playing magic.

love this channel! Keep up the great work :)

The banter is phenomenal. Love you guys

4 mins into this episode and already hit the like and love it hahaha the whole commander damage convo hahaha too good.

Commander at Home and LSV are my favorite MTG channels on KZfaq. I look forward to your videos every week. Love BK’s and Olivia’s energy are infectious. Would love to see an episode of Commander at Home with LSV

Ben and bluebeetle are always a good pair. No surprise at Kibler winning. The 👕 👕 👕 👕 👕 is epic.😊😊😊😊😊

Love you guys, keep up the awesome content ❤️👏🏼

Ben is definitely my fan favorite guest, dude is always super funny and the shirts! His laughter is contagious

The first turn hasn't started but I'm already in tears laughing. HOW.

great episode. your channel gets better and better each episode

Just saw a shorts of the channel, I love it so far

Any episode with Ben Brode is imminently a banger

Ben might be one of my favorite people you have on your show as a guest! Great game btw!

I love watching Brian help another player to come up with strategies to win. Wholesome.

I see Ben on Commander At Home and I instantly brace for "the talk" :D

Great guests, great episode. Had me laughing aloud.

Ben’s snap to attention towards the camera was fantastic, made me giggle

algorythm stuff! FOR BEN BRODE! AND OFC XOLO! great guests!

Ben truly brings some incredible energy to the table, and it was a real nail-biter later on. Fantastic episode.

Now this, this, does bring a smile to my face.

Love the show never miss an episode of your guises show at all. I am also super Duper excited to see Ben back. I love his energy. He’s like one of my favorite personalities.

This Samwise deck looks so much fun to play! so many little interactions every turn. I can't wait to see the decklist for it

By gar my favorite commander channel love u guys

Thank you Brian for pointing out how great sam is with Boseiju! I had just put together an Aragorn the uniter deck and passed over sam repeatedly because I hadn't read that bottom line 😂

Awesome episode, lots of laughs 😂

As someone who was a huge fan of brians back in the protour days (not exclusively, i still am) but had to sell my collection to start my family it is wonderful to see you all playing with your family.

Great episode, as always.

I don’t think they know that Carth also changes the cost of minus abilities on planeswalkers…

Commenting mostly for engagement - love these guys and of course Ben Brode

Ben Brode is easily my favorite guest he just brings the best vibes anytime I see him immediately watching.

Ben is THE BEST 😂! Can he please be on EVERY episode?!?

Is this Brian's first win on Commander at Home? Great epsiode again. Ben Brode is so animated.

Hey now, Ben's Un'goro rap is a certified classic!

Bens laughing has something contagious. Always a pleasure to see him.

Ben Brodes Laughter fills my soul with joy and glee, by god what i would do to just spend a day with that man playing commander and talking game design haha

This was an incredible match!!

Ben! I'll prepare my ears for his glorious laughter

My favorite shirt to wear in public, specifically conventions, is "protect your deck" with the magic and ultrapro logos on the back

I love Ben's YOLO approach to Commander. Would vibe well with a Rakdos deck

Finally found time to finish watching the episode. As cool as the game was, I can't help feeling it was stoken by the extreme cuteness of Elspeth. Oko just being all chill, but Elli going full puppy eyes totes adorbs tongue out action the whole ep... omg.

Ben Brode's hatred of Commander damage will never fail to make me laugh to tears!

6 minutes in and any kind of terrible day you were having is gone. Love seeing Ben and Commander at Home together.

15:50 Boseiju allows you to search for a Land with a Basic Land Type, not just a Basic Land. So, Shock Lands, Dual Lands, Triomes, etc are searchable from Boseiju
