"I spent all my counterspells trying to keep my counterspells, but it was worth it!"

[n.henzler]

"Glad this insane game is finally over."
"Game? That was just one stack."

[alecazam]

The irony is that they all emptied their hands so a wheel probably would have benefitted them anyways

[SquatchHammer]

Watching the final reaction of everyone realizing they went around the entire board in both directions and it all amounts to nothing is just peak commander content.

[Drako]

I live for these moments. It's why I can't stop playing this cursed format!

"I'm going to counter the counter thats countering my counter that i cast to counter the counter you played against my counter."

[ardynamberglow]

Honestly, this is one of the best interactions I've ever seen. I wish there was more stack interaction where players are just slinging spells at each other.

Props to the editor for getting every one of those whoas but misspelling fortune and response.

[SerButtley]

out of context "WHEEL OF FORTUNEEEE" in response, "TO ARMS" is so funny to me idk why 😂😂😂

[therealbahamut]

Now SEE, THIS is the kind of Magic I remember so fondly from my childhood. Boards full of cards, responses to responses, ability stacks taller than the deck, hands getting dumped and redrawn everywhere, CHAOS AND CONFUSION ABOUNDS.

None of this "infinite combo on turn four, I sweep" bullshit.

Lmao Commander is a lot like when I was growing up at a Christian elementary school and we weren’t allowed to play with our Magic or Yugioh or Pokemon cards so we would have imaginary duels where we could topdeck just about anything we felt like. Commander feels janky but then you realize it’s just what it feels like to compete as a God.

[MrMatt]

as someone who has never played a game of magic in their life, my brain gave up on trying to understand this by the time one card had a full paragraph of text on it

[draketheduelist]

What if I Tragically Slip?
What if I Doomedly Fall?
Then am I the Monarch?
Just let me know.

[TheIrrelevantYT]

I once played a game of Commander that resolved 20 spells on a single stack. It was breathtaking.

[LordTreyHowdy]

"wait, who's turn is it?"

[ashenwuss]

Mill, *then* exile til a nonland. You don't exile the milled card and cast it.

[drewcourtney]

Magic isn't complicated... Wait, I'm lost.

[Eramiserasmus]

And it's wild stacks of cards like this that make Commander wild.

[strtsD]

It's rare you see a stack like that
