Perhaps one of the funnier moments I've seen happen in a game of Commander. This is a shorter highlight clip from the full episode. Probably not for everyone but I know some will enjoy.

This is made by a group of players/content creators from mtggoldfish.com who have a weekly game of Commander they upload as part of their Commander Clash series. Commander is a multiplayer format of MTG where players choose a legendary creature (or sometimes planeswalker) to be their commander. All the rest of their 100 card deck must be in the colours of their commander and is usually built around their commander's abilities.
If you're at all familiar with Magic go ahead and just watch but below is a spoiler-filled summary for anyone not really following what is going on.
Spoilers for anyone not familiar with M:TG trying to follow along
Tomer is playing a GW equipment deck led by Nazahn, Revered Bladesmith. Tomer also has a bit of a history with equipment decks, trying several times unsuccessfully in previous episodes to "assemble Kaldra" -- a set of legendary equipment cards that together (and only together) form a very hard to deal with threat that can end games quickly. Despite this being an equipment deck, Tomer insists he is not playing Kaldra this time, even sharing a decklist without Kaldra with the other players before the start of the episode.
No one really believes him, and unsurprisingly he secretly is playing Kaldra. His plan seems to be to utilize Blade of Selves for the myriad triggers for his three opponents -- allowing him to search his deck for all three pieces of Kaldra when the token copies of Nazahn enter the battlefield.
Crim -- longtime Tomer antagonist -- is playing a more aggressive deck in this game but is more well known for disruptive controlling decks that disrupt and frustrate his opponents. Being Crim, even his aggressive decks are full of these types of cards and shortly into the game he casts Gonti, Lord of Luxury letting him peek at the top four cards of his opponents library and remove one them from the game. He chooses to target Tomer to hopefully see what he's up to and if he can find a Kaldra piece.
Unbeknownst to Crim -- two of the pieces are already in Tomer's hand, leaving just one remaining in the 83 cards still in the deck. Crim has a less than 5% chance of finding the single piece of Kaldra but of course he finds it and proceeds to blow up the Kaldra plan once again. Tomer finds out what Crim has taken when he searches his library after the Nazahn triggers and is not very pleased.

I'd love to have more Magic chatter here - maybe I should help do something about that, huh. One of my friends has been brewing some bonkers commander decks and publishing them on /r/EDH and the new Commander's Herald site - a few weeks ago, MTGMuddstah featured a modified version of his "$10 Pirate-less Pirate Storm" deck and it almost got there.
Always up to talk Magic :). And man I can't wait for the whole pandemic thing to end so I can finally play a game of commander. I've been tinkering with a few decks here too -- but I can't handle...
Always up to talk Magic :). And man I can't wait for the whole pandemic thing to end so I can finally play a game of commander. I've been tinkering with a few decks here too -- but I can't handle webcam commander and none of my friends have a decent collection on MTGO. I will check that website out, thanks!
