Oh the before times. How i miss the before times.

"They opened the curtains and now I remember what the outdoors is like." Hits different in 2020.

Whenever Graham has a shot of him walking into a hotel room, I like to pretend that he scaled up the side of the building and broke in through a window just to place the camera down.

"I don't need to sleep, I don't want to sleep, what if we played Magic all night" - Tappy, continuing to be my spirit animal

Graham should do one for a Quarantine day. Just 23 shots of him on the couch from different angles.

"Don't eat them Dana" at 9:35 had me wheezing.

The Book of Mormon indicates the hotel is a Marriott property. Thank you for subscribing to Hotel Facts.

These Gvlogs are so well timed. I love getting a chance to look back to a time when we could relax together, and somehow the vlog format makes it feel like you JUST went and there is a little place where everything is back to normal. I generally feel like I do okay under these circumstances, better than a lot of people I know, but I can tell I have just gotten used to this background stress when I watch something like that and feel so much better and mentally lighter than before I hit play. Thank you so much Graham.

Whenever Graham said Simic Food, all I could think of was "what's in it? Lots of things". Also it took my lizard brain a few moments to get around the fact that he name-drops Crim as "someone he's never met" because this was before he appeared on the PPR for Theros Beyond Death (?)

Ah, 2019. A time when there wasn't a pandemic, the west coast wasn't *entirely* on fire, and, most shockingly of all...Oko was legal.

Around halfway through the vlog, I realized that I had been smiling the entire time that I was watching it. It looked like great fun. Also that's a gorgeous sunset out there around 34:40

00:19 00:24 00:33 00:45 07:26 10:51 11:14 11:26 15:19 15:23 16:21 30:10

Elevator: Let's go Green together! Blue players: You can't tell me what to do.

"Ugh. Another testament of Jesus Christ. He's really trying to milk the success of that first book." [3:27]

Wow, seeing how many orders Card Kingdom has pending at any given time, and knowing how quickly they still manage to get orders sent out... Super impressive.

Is it weird how “Simic Food” was one of the bigger things that made me go “right, this is last year”?

It's so unsettling seeing people without masks on in such close proximity lmao, I'm not used to it

Thank you Graham. I will now be using the term "Horrifying Sadness Engine" for my completely degenerate decks from now on.

these vlogs are so refreshing to watch. Plus Graham has a good speaking voice. Plus everybody is fueled by coffee which just makes my day.

Poor Standard...! But very cool to see so many friendly and familiar faces. People like the Prof and Meghan & Maria just make me smile when they show up. Prof's hair really grew back fast!

Yay! More vlogs. I can vicariously travel again!

The "HET!" poster in the background at 17:03 has me cracking up

A new Graham Vlog?? A ray of sunshine, at last!

31:12 this is what we call foreshadowing

Ah, now I can finish it! I got halfway though, had to leave for a few minutes, and then when I came back it was gone

It's so nice of the hotel staff to take your phone up to the room so you can get your first reactions!

Slice of life now terrifyingly nostalgic. I'm in the Puget Sound also and boy I can't wait to pop around again.

Thanks for posting Graham. It was nice to get a little sense of travelling, even if Mox Boarding House is right in my backyard.

I need to stop watching your Vlogs, they make me miss traveling But seriously, keep up the great work

2:21 No Graham, Don’t eat the Simic Slaw!

So stoked for another new episode of the GVLOG. Easily my favorite series on KZfaq and a great reminder of The Before Times.

I've been to Mox in Ballard a couple times (work right nearby) but was always wondering what the CK sections looked like, awesome to see!

I am 100% not surprised that the North 100 crew built some blink shenanigans Block deck. Thanks for the vlog Graham and Matt. Great to see some folks having a good time.

Damn good vlog my dude. I really appreciate that you make sure the people who are due the credit, even on the out card. Made my night.

I was really struck at the beginning on how good the editing is. It's sooooo good.

gosh this is such a trip. I visited both moxes on the like, one single time I visited seattle last year and I havent missed a gamestore more and I work at a FLGS. thanks for documenting this and also like, giving me some nice pleasant nostalgia stuff.

>not the end of the world Oh you sweet summer child

We've been cooped in so long Prof's hair grew back already.

Loved it!! And, how is it possible not to fall in love with Maria every time you see her?? I know i can't!!

13 years ago, I moved from the equivalent of British Columbia to the equivalent of Manitoba and boy do these coastal shots make me question my choices.

Funny. The hotel room looks almost exactly like a hotel room I once stayed at in Leipzig, Germany.

graham i just waythed this vlog and it reminded me of how much i miss the before times. Dont feel bad because of that it was nice living vicariously through your adventure.

Graham, this is exactly what I needed to see today. Thank you!

Mox's Cage is pretty cool, but to be honest I'd love to see Rudy's version of the Cage ie his whole warehouse. :)

Graham low key snagging that playmat 🤣🤣

Do we publicly know card kingdom's "secret you can't talk about" yet?

A 40 minute Graham vlog is exactly what i needed

aaaah the before times. so strange, so much touching.

7:45 if you let my wife talk about my meager collection she'd still say this word-for-word.

When are Graham's feet? Asking for a friend.

Its wired watching things from the before times, also is the secrets of card kingdom that they have an actual wizard working there to make sure there shipping is so fast because I refuse to believe that shipping that fast exist with out actual magic

Huh. Card Kingdom's physical locations really are clean, well-lit places to storm out. Nice.

24:22 turbo fog vs land destruction is peak magic the gathering and you can't tell me otherwise

This was delightful. I miss people.

Shoutout to Card Kingdom for buying Magic cards printed in 2020 unlike Channel Fireball. They are the sole reason I am able to afford both the PS5 disk and XBox Series X systems at launch this year.

The mormon joke got me, kudos

For dinner tonight we will be havin a selection of outboard motors...

The moment people started grouping together I was like "wow this is so reckless, no one is wearing masks" and then I saw 2019 in the title and my brain just stopped functioning as I reevaluated my life.

Was anyone else expecting the Chalice bag to include a fallen empires box?

to be fair, "a couple of edits synched to some music" is an excellent end to a vlog IMO

The example the tour guide gave was "an alpha volcanic island" which doesn't exist. Volc was first printed in beta.

Book of Mormon is just a fanfic. It's like someone else trying to cash in on the success of the first one. "This lie did so well that I'm going to make up my own!"

Mox is pretty cool. I like to go there when I buy singles, but only early enough before all of the parking evaporates.

Blue sky! I miss Blue sky! I also miss skies that aren't brown.

OH, RIGHT. This is when Prof shaved his head! This places this in time! Prof, you challenged chat, you should know better. NEVER challenge chat

Them inked Gaming playmats are pretty damn good indeed

GraHam name tag was great

what's the thing you're using to hold your phone? (it's been so long since we got a rig update...)

I've spent so much time in mox Bellevue that it's honestly kinda trippy seeing it in a video

It's so weird seeing Dana not dressed up

So many frands in this video! Tappy saying "Wanna play Magic all night?" is extremely on brand for her.

I’m late, but I will now go onto arena and build bank blink. I will it “ grants accidental sadness engine”

The tour at the beginning didn't make Card Kingdom's suspiciously fast shipping any less suspicious.

This Brad Nelson guy is pretty good at Magic the Gathering

At about 20:10 I would have sworn I heard Serge. It took me longer than I am proud of to realize ot was the professor.

It's just sustainable on so many levels!

25:00 professor notices he's on camera

Just the briefest of comments, I love the vlogs, this is not a criticism, but just a shout-out - I understood you in the plane without needing the subtitles way easier than when you were talking with prof with tons of chatter in the background. I don't usually watch with subs on, so it's never been an issue in the past, but just as a "If you're going to add captions in vid due to noisy environments" then please consider those of us who may struggle to focus on an individual speaker with much other chattering in the background. e; and having now watched the rest of the vid, there's a bunch of bits with no captions and lots of people talking in the background, but all the rest were fine, so never mind I guess?

Hooray, the vlog is back!

Corona needs to piss off so we can have more GVLOG

Where can we watch gameplay of this? The vod on card kingdoms channel doesn't cover most of the matches. Were they not all filmed?

Wait the Morph deck is 'completely broken'? Damn I must really suck at magic, its the one I got during prerelease and I did sooooooo poorly with it

Hey it's krim also known as the asianAvenger what a fun guy

Am I the only one who thought The Prof looked good with the shaved head?

Can tell Graham's not a driver when he doesn't like being in a tunnel in a car.

Simic Food, you say? Sounds like a fun deck list, what's in it?

Can we get links to the VODs mentioned in this? If they still exist.

I dunno why, but as a Christian I always love when people laugh at hotel bibles.

::sees Graham get into a float plane:: Wait, uh... Going to Seattle? Where's the smoke? ::looks at description:: Ohhhh. Oh. oh. o.

Ah, the before times.

This was a good vlog.

I was looking out for Alex while they were having the CK tour but don't think he was there.

"i don't think kevin's appeared in the vlog"

Blue skies in Seattle... sigh.

A lot of audio pops on this vlog. First heard during the car ride at the beginning a lot. Not sure if it's something that can be fixed or is just an unfortunate side effect of equipment. Just letting you know in case there is a fix in future vlogs.

7:22 So what percentage of the things shown off camera have since released I wonder?

ah a sudden tappy, being an adult which is strange

Yo graham what song is happening at 18:10?

That hotel kitchen is bigger than the one i have in my appartment.... what is this

I thought there was no such thing as an Alpha Volcanic Island?
