Welcome to Episode 1 of Pack it Up: Commander, the newest Commander game-play show on Youtube, brought to you by Star City Games and Ultra-Pro.
Today we’ll be playing chaos #commander with a twist. 4 players will randomly select 1 pre-con each from the Library of Legends, a treasure trove of commander pre-cons including every single version of every pre-con dating back to the very first Commander release in 2010.
After the 4 players are each armed with a deck, they will draft 10 upgrades each from the ‘Chaos Codex.’ Inside the Codex is a carefully curated selection of 40 of the most powerful #magicthegathering cards ever printed. From game changers to banned cards and beyond, the Codex is absolutely stacked!
After the players battle it out with the decks, they will return the decks to their original form and then give them away to the audience watching on youtube!
Today on #PackitUp Commander our players are:
BBNO$ – @bbnomoney
Gavin Verhey – @GoodMorningMagic
Taalia Vess – @Taalia_Vess
Ben Bateman – @BenBatemanMTG

Just started watching the channel, I’m glad I joined during the start of such a cool series
Commenting for the Good Boy.
What a cool concept!
I hope you can use the backup commanders. Because I want to see the mothman make the table sad❤
4 winners! I gotta get my hands on that fallout deck
Fun show, keep up the good work
So excited for this new series, a whole wall of commander decks is wild!
Man. Sure would like to have that codex of craziness!
THIS IS SUCH AN AWESOME IDEA! Incredible you managed to get your hands on every deck ever, that's must've been insane work! Nice to see bbno$ too!
Watching someone yoink a damn Lotus at the get go tells me you REALLY want this to pop off lol.
It's rad, but I'd cut back on The Office takes. It interrupts the flow of the game. Voiceover commentary would be less disruptive
I love that this channel plays with commander pre cons I haven’t even heard of! Thank you for the content!
Loved this
Dub for the crew
Cool show🎉
I was so frustrated that Talia missed out on the craterhoof in a tokens deck, her win though was epic!
Do the guest sign the commander? Plz lemme win! Rooting for the man in the pink pants ❤
Taalia is my new hero!

I’ve been waiting for a commander series that I actually enjoy! This is so exciting
I mainly play commander. Watching a pack it up episode of commander was awesome. The chaos aspect of the "draft" was a fun twist.
Ben 🎉
It's always great finding out a celebrity you like plays magic from these kinds of shows
Great new show, hopefully we get more.
Fun to see the precons…I never bought one so it is good to see what different options are out there.
Pack it up Commander 🎉 Wow the wall of Legends. Codex was insane
Such a fun episode, so cool to see Bibinos on MTG channels!
😅
fast mana go brrr
so niceeeeeee
What's happening with the Chaos Cup?
Really cool concept! Cant wait for the next episodes!
Great vid! Such a fun concept, I look forward to seeing more
Great game 🙂
I love the format you so seldomly see precons on YouTube. I hope you continue making it
Can you guys share your power levels for each deck please? Would love to do this with my pod but that's the iffy part that we couldn't translate
Awesome concept! Love the show.
I liked this idea for the show, it was really cool and fresh. I hope you are able to continue to make it.
My very first commander precon was Prismari Performance!!! The typos are real on Zaffai.
Aaa, this looks so fun
That turn one was so absurd 😆 what an opening hand!!!
And a group hug deck steals the game again 😂
PiuC!
So fun to see. The draft seems a bit strange as it is not as chaos as the rest.
that was fun
23:06 not rooting for Ben on this game now, he said the forbidden numbers
Never sleep on the quiet ones who let everyone else beat up on eachother 😅
Can’t wait to see more of these!
