For our first Box Brawl in the series we are going back to 2016 to play Kaladesh. Watch us charge energy, drive cars, and build gadgets and robots to help decide who the best magic player is in the whole world!
Twitch Channel: / skillcheckdnd
Community Discord: / discord
Box Battle is a series of Magic: The Gathering KZfaq videos that seeks to answer two questions: what would happen if we played through every single set of Magics history and who would be named its champion at the end of it? Well, Charlie "MoistCr1tikal" "penguinz0", Matt, Ryan, and Drew are doing exactly that, playing through some modified sealed/limited rules for the commander format, almost close to brawl. The game works like this:
Open a box of magic cards that hasn't been opened yet
Each player gets an amount of cards to build a 60 card deck out of, naming a commander along the way (which can be any creature, not restricted to legendary creatures)
Play a game and give points out based on placements, 3 for first, 2 for second, 1 for third, and 0 for last. Also the player that opens the most expensive card gets a point for free.
Eventually we will have played through all of the sets and at the end the player with the most points will be crowned the best magic player in the world, unquestionably. Along the way we'll laugh, we'll cry, and maybe we will have a few guests in the mean time. Stay tuned!!

The fact he pulled a masterpiece at all is crazy, the fact it was the Sol Ring which is like the second most expensive is even more crazy, then he had the guts to put that $800 card in his deck to play and some how manage to draw it on turn 1, only to have it destroyed before he can even untap with it is some of the craziest luck I've ever seen.

@@RM_3D not sure where that quote is from, but it applies specifically for Commander Masters. There were different rules in place for the two Commander Legends sets. Don't get me wrong, it seems like a sensible rule, it's just not something that's automatically applied to something like this

@@christopherreay3242 it was added to commander masters draft rules because the set didn’t include legendary creatures with the partner mechanic like the previous commander draftable sets. So while you are correct that it isn’t a rule set in stone, it was the official way to draft for the only commander draftable set without partner. It stands to reason that if you wanted to try and draft every set in magics history (most of which not having partner) with the intention of creating a commander deck, that you would want to use this rule

Heads up for future videos in this series. My playgroup does draft for commander instead of sealed. That way you can color fix way better and everyone has opportunities to grab legendary creatures. We sometimes do a pick two out of the first pick on a pack to further help people fine tune their decks. Everyone ends up having some great synergy this way. Some sets don't have many legends (we found this out recently with Ravnica RMR), so the any creature for commander is necessary sometimes.

Maybe for commanders each person can keep 1 of their choice from the cards they pull, and then if they pulled more than 1 the commanders they didn’t choose will go to a commander pool. Anyone who didn’t get a commander can then pull from that pool, rolling dice for priority picks. If there just aren’t enough commanders then continue like you did this time but maybe preemptively ban deathtouch and flying cards from becoming commanders for balance

Charlie, you should make a new game format for Magic where you combine MTG and D&D/RPG. Each person has a commander/character with supporting equipment, enchantments, sorceries, instants, and themed creatures and what not in their deck. You start with your character on the battlefield, and as you rank up you can also start with it equipped or enchanted. You assign normal D&D stats to it besides what’s on the card. And then for encounters/conflict, the DM has stronger themed decks that everyone has to battle against. They could combine characters in the scene that all fight as part of the DMs turn. Same initiative rolls and all of that to determine order. It would be hard to completely combine both formats, but you could at least do a successful tabletop RPG I would think. Not sure how mana would work. Maybe you start with a certain amount on the battlefield based on your characters level, or as food tokens. Your characters power/toughness could stay the same as on the card with counters on it for levels or you could just use dice. I’m sure there is a lot of other stuff to figure out, but seems like the type of thing Skill Check would be the perfect channel for figuring it out.
