That exchange @01:02:50 was absolutely incredible, but made all the better by the silent burn of Paul throwing up Judge Unworthy on the cardreader. I see you, Paul. We see you.

I kickstarted the STS board game, I’m so happy it does the actual game justice. It’s not a 1 to 1 adaptation but it’s great and so happy

This is such an incredible idea! I love the proxy reskins! Ben is a master brewer

this was much tamer than my expectation of players wheeling their hands every turn

Incredibly impressed that Ben was able to resist the urge to just slam these into the corresponding colors and made the effort to match up the mechanics. I don't think I'd ever be able to stop myself from forcing Ironclad into mono red.

"I'm gonna hafta give you a warning for teeth here, Graham." This feels like a sentence I'd expect during a more Phyrexian-focused game.

"Unfortunate that you should be here, because I would have just as much fun on my own". Regular Watcher moment right there. I am beginning to understand why the Time Slug never liked her to be honest.

Wow, wasn't expecting this collab but I'm more than happy to see you and jorbs doing commander together. Been a big fan of spreadsheets for a while, glad to see more of them on this channel.

Was not expecting lrr and jorbs to collab but I am HERE FOR IT

That pained "no! not like that!" at 2:56:30 is gorgeous. please never change, Serge

JORBS??? we're so back.

As soon as they said Slay the Spire commander, my first thought was "The Silent should definitely be based on Massacre Girl, Known Killer." What a brainwave, Ben!

Prediction: They all lose to Gremlin Nob after taking too many Skills in act 1

7:10 Jobs: "So I'm playing Watcher-" I've seen enough, GG.

I'm a big fan of building theme decks with custom alters, so this episode looks like a treat! Haven't delved into giving cards ability words just yet, but honestly, they just work well with StS, so big props to Ben for the whole thing!

I'm only 15 minutes in, but I am just so impressed by Ben's matching up of the commanders to Slay the Spire characters' vibes

If Ben doesn't get flooded with people asking him to sign custom Timmy the Tooth playmats at the next several Magiccons/conventions, I feel we'll have missed a great opportunity.

Theres already art crossovers with STS, the guy who did some of the unfinity duals (Godless Shrine being my fave), and some other arts did the OG poster box art for STS

"so i can try again one more time for free" peak magic

2:50:26 this is why Defect struggles with Time Eater. “Foolish… FOOLISH!”

Really cool, inventive, and thematic brewing by Ben here. There were a couple things that didn't work flavor-wise but I agree were just too perfect in terms of synergies to exclude. Loltacular ending to game 1, starting from the Fallout. I haven't really played much real Magic in a while, just tooling around with old cards. I had heard the hype but never really seen how beastly Orcish Bowmasters really is in practice before, just by itself, even before the synergies with e.g. Massacre Girl, in only the couple turns before Ben neutralized it. Sheeeeeesh. That Reprieve was possibly the biggest dick move I've ever seen in an LRR Commander game. Really interesting endgame for game 2; wasn't nearly as foregone as it seemed at first. My opinions for if they ever actually make a Slay the Spire Universes Beyond Commander product... The Ironclad - WBR. Combat tricks, demons and devils, fire, equipment, vengeance. The Silent - UBG. Cunning, stealth, poison, ninjas, hunting. The Defect - WUG. Development, mechanisms, discovery, growth, self-actualization. The Watcher - WUR. Jeskai. Just...she's Jeskai. Honestly she might just be Narset of the Ancient Way, except NotAW isn't a creature and the Watcher is blind.

Remember to sing the "Turn One Sol Ring Arcane Signet" to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" at home

Serge's tonal shift at 2:50:17 from triumphant to pleading was very funny to me

Having poured many hours into STS These commanders are so incredibly accurate

Engagment is the name and spreading joy is the game!

the entire timmy the tooth conversation made me laugh harder than I have in a long time lmao

Wheeler predicted Outlaws of Thunder Junction on the Mommander ep back in 2022! 2hr 5min

I’m gonna watch this vod as I grind away at ascension 4 for the defect. So I guess “GO SERGE!”

That was an absolute blast! Knew this was gonna be a good one once I saw how well Ben matched up the characters with their respective commanders and mechanics. Very nicely done, Ben.

I only have a passing knowledge of Slay the Spire, but this is super cool. Goob job, Ben :)

I watched this episode, loved it, and all I can think after is “Timmy the Tooth’s fractal teeth”

Nice, cool to see Jorbs here!!

I see Jacques Orblong is seeking refuge in Canada

I love how similar these wonderful men look

I don’t know anything about Slay the Spire, but this really was an amazing pair of commander games! Great brewing, Ben, these decks turned out great!

This was awesome!

Awesome picks for the commanders! I think the only things I would have done differently with the commander choices is give Ironclad something that fits his Demon Possession theming

"...so it goes back to my hand?" "Yeah! You can do it later!" 🤣

41:45 Ben, I didn't know and now you have cursed me with this knowledge!

Ben, still best boi Great idea to make decks and cards to match StS

The first games ending is very reminiscent of my first game with the Fallout Precons. Literally came down to 3\4 us left with just 1 life and untapping with 3-5 rads. And I won since I survived just because I was chugging bottles from the Nuka Cola Vending Machine.

Ok, but an AFK where you all just play Crazy Eights or Go Fish or whatever sounds really entertaining. You should do that some time.

Ben.. Ben buddy.. i need these now.. please i need these commander alts so bad..

I'm so happy that I'm not the only person to immediately think of Animate Wall when Ben realized Wall of Runes can't attack. Great minds truly think alike.

Awesome to see Jorbs back and Ben made some fantastic brews. Great games.

I was literally playing Slay the Spire when this got posted here. Also, i am so bad at playing the Watcher, but i only just beat it with her, and it's because i misevaluated a card previously. I thought it was so bad. It easily won me my run

There are at least like 6 moments in this video that'd make perfect highlights!

"Nothing bad ever happens to the Kennedys!" I see you. Also, I volunteer to pay the shipping on all those tokens you want to throw away in the future.

Serge, you were meant to FIGHT the eggs, not join them!

rasaad + flaming fists, double strike on attack = double trigger from atack with such as stryonic, double double with double strike

Ben, you human you... You should not have told us Loop Hero is a mobile game now...

Are the proxy artworks obtainable somewhere?

Great choice of magic commanders to match the video game abilities.

Didn’t Jorbs have a ghostly flicker so that he could have untapped his commander and blocked to prevent dying??? 1:33:32

JORBS??!!

joooooo jorbs !!!!! hype

Curiousity not being put on the Flamebreather was such a shame. ):

Very fun

Weird comment / observation... why do I think that Jorbs is actually a member of the Upright Citizens Brigade troupe? No offense is meant by this. Every time he spoke I kept thinking I was hearing stuff from UCB... anyone else?

Is it possible to get the proxies??

Of all the things Sege gets correct, it's bussing SYNOD?

I feel like PvP Slay the Spire is just Yu-Gi-Oh

2:50:28 Why'd you sac your board, dude? LETHAL, BEN. ABSOLUTELY LETHAL.

Holy Fuck Timmy the Tooth!

Omg is it jorbs?

I have no teeth but I must chew

Hey, isn't Jorbs the robot judge with no humanity? I dunno. I saw some mean things on twitter.
