1:09The players begin opening Streets of New Capenna collector boosters.

Everyone gets a whole box, but the cards inside have to become a playable deck. Skill Check's "Quips and Guac Box Brawl" brings guest creator Quips&Guac into that experiment, joining Charlie, Drew and Ryan for Streets of New Capenna pack opening and a four-player game.

Quips introduces himself as a maker of funny, themed Commander decks. Here, the building materials come out of collector boosters, with card prices appearing during the opening before the table switches to gameplay. Charlie chooses Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second as his commander and starts building around tokens. Beneath the episode, viewers pick out the set's commanders and Charlie's running updates on missed land drops.

The guest episode is the most watched of the week's two uploads, with roughly 71,000 views. "Star Trek Box Brawl!" follows it into a different Magic setting and is drawing the channel's strongest daily audience right now. Its first-day views were also slightly higher than the New Capenna episode's. The older "Horror Movie Commander," featuring horror characters as commanders, remains active at a gentler pace.

Skill Check added a thousand subscribers over the week, bringing it to 295,000, while daily views are above their usual level. Among nearby collecting channels, MiniminterCollects had a particularly substantial week and Audrey Thirtyacre a quieter one. For Skill Check, the distinctive thread is the Box Brawl format: opening the cards isn't the finish, it's preparation for playing them.
