So recently I've gotten too listening to commander video's / podcasts and I've looked around a bit on youtube but I have a hard time finding one I like. I know Game Knights is popular and sponsored by Wizards, but they like talk like really annoying with like a lot of like oh my god and that's like oh my god so like annoying and detracting from like the content itself that I can't bring myself to watch more. The episodes take too long as well, as the drive to work is 30 minutes
The only one I found that I like so far is Jumbo Commander (Note to self: read into that patron thing). I like his style, the explanations are clear and while he gets enthousiastic at times (which is nice to hear) it's not that over the top style exaggeration. So can you guys recommend any other channels or podcasts that are any good and are nice to listen too?

The secret to enjoyable Commander games is not winning first, but losing last.

I'm not sure how well they'd work for just listening to rather than watching, but the Lab Maniacs have some excellent videos - both gameplay and guides - on the competitive side of EDH.
I always recommend MTGmuddstah (but I also know the guy in person so a little bias)
Still his videos are good gameplay wise. I am it sure how well they fair just listening to them but I know I like watching them.
I really love Brian Weissman's videos (and yeah, it is THE Weissman of The Deck). He mostly plays one on one and all his decks are competitive, but his explanations of each of his actions is so thorough, that I have yet to see anyone explaining control style of decks so well. Sadly, the videos need to be watched, but he has a great voice and explains very calmly. One of the best content creators out there.
I also started watching MtgMuddstah's gameplay videos a couple of days ago, and I am a huge fan. They are short and snappy (on average 10 minutes) well edited, funny and showcase a wide variety of super cool decks. I like that it feels like watching a regular game in my meta. The presentation and narrating style took me a bit getting used to, but I really dig it now and actually think it's quite genius. Also, this week he switched his camera angle so you can see even better what's going on on the battlefield. There are a lot of videos and it will probably take me a while to get through all of them. Plenty of nice decks and epic plays!

Still convinced the guy on Beseech the Queen is wearing a Mitra-type hat. Wake up sheeple!

when he come back to montreal I may be able to get away with flipping people off. He doesn't like casting me too often due to me doing that constantly.

Heh, that's pretty funny. Man, I would really like to play a couple of games with some of you guys. So many fun decks! Maybe he will do a video in Germany one day lol

doubtful. He lives in NJ but originates from Montreal. He has family here so he visits every few months.
I'm the same, I find that the actual knowledge and skill level of any videos on commander content is just not up to a standard that keeps me interested.
I guess I'm looking for more in depth analysis, and done in a way that is quick to the point as well.
The fact is that there is a group of people here on the MTGSalvation who are just more experienced and knowledgeable about commander, so it's always going to be hard to satisfy us with the current efforts.

Came here to post this. It's doubtful you'll find more nuanced and considered analysis anywhere else. While it's unfortunate that he primarily plays 1v1 his videos are nonetheless incredibly insightful.
