Revision as of 09:02, 22 March 2019

Friday Nights is a commodoreHUSTLE spin-off series about Magic: the Gathering. It is made in association with Wizards of the Coast. The series was announced on August 26th, 2011 at the LRR panel at PAX Prime.

The "Season 1" four-part miniseries premiered on February 23rd, 2012. LoadingReadyRun.com was inundated with traffic, and crashed.

Format

  • Friday Nights episodes are much longer than the average current cH episode but shorter than those of the first cH season, usually lasting around 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Typically, seven or eight of the crew members have major roles. Like cH, each has a distinct persona and play style associated with them.
    • Graham has an affinity for green cards.
    • Kathleen has a fascination for cats in early episodes, and later gains a proclivity for blue/black decks, summarized by the phrase "I wanna kill and I wanna mill" from "Hero's Path: the Calling".
    • Jer, referred to derogatorily by Kathleen as "Captain Combo" in "Constructed", is obsessed with intricate combos that can span entire decks, which typically fall apart thanks to a single small oversight or the failure of a key detail. He compares his deckbuilding strategy to purchasing a gun from Ikea: difficult to assemble properly, but if built exactly right, they work perfectly and beautifully.
    • James is not often shown actually playing the game, and does not necessarily have an established play style. He has a fondness for limited formats, which require him to be flexible in his choice of colors and strategy.
    • Alex is usually seen playing red. It is also shown that he studies the popularity of certain cards and play styles in the professional circuit, assuming that the most successful decks and cards in the highest levels of the game will be equally effective in casual play.
    • Paul is introduced to the game in season 1. In keeping with his "mad scientist" cH character, Paul is shown to be rigorously scientific in constructing decks. He is often shown building dozens of slight variations on the same basic formula, testing each one to see which has an advantage. Later in the series, he is shown attempting to develop a "statistically perfect" deck.
    • Matt bases most of his decks around angels, and will go to great lengths for a single card he needs for a deck.
    • Cam primarily plays Izzet (red and blue) and relies heavily on counterspells and other instants and sorceries. In "Politics", he reveals that the others often find playing against him unenjoyable, as he never allows spells to resolve and takes a long time to completely respond to spells cast by opponents. He bears a grudge against green, as he does not understand how to properly play with it.
  • Many of the episodes have two parallel plots, and often the script will smoothly transition between them by relating the character's dialogue or actions between cuts (for example, in "Politics", James says "ooh, good plan" in one scene, which immediately jump cuts to another scene which begins with Kathleen saying "No, I think that's the worst plan!").
  • The episodes form a cohesive narrative, with characters frequently making callbacks to earlier episodes. Running gags are common, especially in the first season.
