It’s that time again, another awesome episode of Game Knights has just dropped over on YouTube! This week, the crew take on Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, with each player having a commander from the new set! Today’s episode was one of the best games of Commander I’ve seen in a while, so definitely check it out!
The Commanders
Today, we had 4 very unique commanders, and some awesome personalities to go along with it!
First up, Jimmy Wong was playing Tatsunari, Toad Rider
Tatsunari, Toad RiderWhenever you cast an enchantment spell, if you don't control a creature named Keimi, create Keimi, a legendary 3/3 black and green Frog creature token with "Whenever you cast an enchantment spell, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life."
{1}{G/U}: Tatsunari and target Frog you control can't be blocked this turn except by creatures with flying or reach., the new Sultai Enchantments themed commander!
—
His goal was to abuse Tatsunari’s froggy companion, Keimi, to drain his opponent’s out of the game with cheap and powerful enchantments!
Josh Lee Kwai is piloting one of the commanders from one of the new preconstructed decks, Shorikai, Genesis Engine
Shorikai, Genesis Engine{1}, {T}: Draw two cards, then discard a card. Create a 1/1 colorless Pilot creature token with "This token crews Vehicles as though its power were 2 greater."
Crew 8 (Tap any number of creatures you control with total power 8 or more: This Vehicle becomes an artifact creature until end of turn.).
—
The deck is a heavy artifacts and vehicles themed deck that looks to abuse some cheeky untap abilities to generate some insane value.
Third up, Ladee Danger brought Isshin, Two Heavens as One
Isshin, Two Heavens as OneIf a creature attacking causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time. to the table.
—
This deck is all about doubling up on powerful attack triggers to gain some absurd damage, while playing a little politics at the table as well.
Last, but certainly not least, Post Malone makes his triumphant return to Game Knights, this time bringing Chishiro, the Shattered Blade
Chishiro, the Shattered BladeWhenever an Aura or Equipment you control enters, create a 2/2 red Spirit creature token with menace.
At the beginning of your end step, put a +1/+1 counter on each modified creature you control. (Equipment, Auras you control, and counters are modifications.), another of the new preconstructed deck commanders.
—
This deck is all about modifying it’s creatures with powerful equipment and auras, while also stacking them up with +1/+1 counters. It also loves to make tokens, which Posty shows to great effect in the game.
