The cigarette flick into “there could be no peace unless I make it myself” earned Blake the W right there. Also: Target opponent named CGB was priceless.
Blake…it has truly been a pleasure watching you, so graciously, let the others win a few games before asserting your dominance and taking your rightful place on the commander’s throne. Long live the king! Long live Blake!
Honestly love this series. I just wish it got as much attention as CGB’s normal videos because I truly believe if folks gave it a shot they’d be hooked.
This game was the best example of commander I have seen in a while. Great multiple resolutions of effects that kept keeping anyone from getting too strong too fast. And so much diplomatic politicking insanity to show people how it's done. Hell yeah! And congrats to Grixis! Congrats to Xander! Congrats to Blake! And of course.. Peace.. In.. our.. TIME! Epic Ending!
Good one. A shame after CGB wiped everyone's board nobody recovered much and Shea never got to pop off. GG for surprise twist in the end for the karma play.
Like a true mob boss, Blake realized that you can't trust others to complete the meaningful tasks and decided he had to finish the game himself. Then pulled a Yugi moment by believing in the hurt of the cards and drew the answer he was seeking. PS. Keep up the good work guys.
What a great episode! Great introductions, and Blake killed it in so many ways, concluding in breaking two faces in one hit ;) The open draws were a great element by CGB, what a finish.
First time watching an episode of TWPCS and it did not disappoint! Blake was really channeling Lorenzo Carcaterra at the end; he said "Gangsters live for the action. The closer to death, the nearer to the heated coil of the moment, the more alive they feel." Sitting at 5 life, with CGB's board looking as it did, certainly is close to death!
I had nearly the same expression as Blake @ 1:16:02 when I passed my turn at prerelease, finished reading Maestros Charm, then drained my opponent on their upkeep to lock down 2nd place at my prerelease. Awesome way to win!
Blake before the game: "I look forward to bringing peace" Blake after breaking faces, acting blasphemously, and committing a double murder: "ah yes, peace"
Great quotes from the video you may have missed... "One day, CGB from the neighborhood carried my mother's Magic cards all the way home. You know why? It was outta respect." -- Blake "All due respect, you got no f'n idea what it's like to be The One in Best of One." -- CGB "As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to play Commander." -- Ben "Elesh Norn was a made man and Brash Taunter wasn't. And we had to sit still and take it. It was among Magic players." -- Shea
Important to note when you connive you only get +1 counters when you discard non land cards. At 21:25 when you discard a planes and city of brass you shouldn't have gotten counters on agent of treachery.
SPOILER: It’s fitting that Blake played the assassin guild and came in OUT OF NOWHERE and killed Shea and CGB with that legendary top deck. Sweet game y’all!
21:00 wait if CGB discarded 2 lands than shouldn't the agent have received no counters? EDIT: ok but I agree with the reply below that the mistake was not properly reversed. of course these are new cards and I'm not smarter than CGB, I was asking about it earnestly haha
Never saw it before, but with the outfit and mobster talk it just hit me: CGB would make for a great Goblin or Ferengi "legitimate businessperson" 😄 Always knew he reminded me of someone I'm familiar with...
I was definitely getting that "Blues Brothers" vibe from Ben, but on Shea's end I was getting "Breakfast Club" vibes, and Mr CGB and Blake I got more of a highschool prom vibe, sry guys. But I love all your beautiful faces and the entertainment you bring.
Wow! Awesome game! Just built Raffine and Ziatora before watching this. Xander is in Evelyn for me. Can't wait to play them! The content here has quickly replaced Command Zone as my favorite in this mtg format 😎
Absolutely love the commander content. This game was sick, felt so bad for Shea's mana screw though. One thing I noticed was the life totals aren't readily available throughout. There were long stretches where I couldn't see the life totals. I wonder if this is something that could be added, whether added to the corners of the screen or otherwise. It would really help figure out where the game is at. Keep up the good work. You're cool.
I came here to watch Lord Xander win a game and I was not disappointed. Everyone asks why, I cannot wait to make a commander deck out of Lord Xander (my first one) and Blake showed why. Cannot wait to make my own Lord Xander deck!

So many misplays by CGB. Blake would have been out long before that card lol.
CGB starts the “wise guy” talk to distract from the otter-style shuffling.
"The shuffler is fine..."
"This is Shalt"
You magnificent bastard you.
That tiny bit of banter was exactly what was needed
Love that they dressed up for the commitment to the bit.

The ending was the most "There are NO pathetic cards in my grandfather's deck Kaiba !!!" moment I have EVER seen, irl or on vid !!!
Dude! That was Crazy especially after the great monologue in the beginning...you made the peace yourself!
Blake one episode ago: “I am here. All Might will save the day heroically.”
Blake now: “Time to be All For One and find peace in destruction”
I have chosen this as my winning comment, this one cracked me up!

Maestro’s Charm should be renamed "Blake's Charm" after that topdeck!
"Make target CGB discard half their hand" - Blake
Underestimated moment
Like a true mob boss, Blake realized that you can't trust others to complete the meaningful tasks and decided he had to finish the game himself. Then pulled a Yugi moment by believing in the hurt of the cards and drew the answer he was seeking.
PS. Keep up the good work guys.
Even this episodes are old I enjoy them a lot.I’m glad I found this channel. Epic games
Suggestion, maybe change up the order of seating on occasion so players are in different order from time to time
So... is Blake the protagonist of THE WORST POSSIBLE Commander Show? Man is channeling the heart of the cards.
All time legendary episode. Love the flavor too, lol. Best commander UA-cam series of games guys
Ben "aw so cuuuute, I'm gonna untap toooo" caught me off guard. 😂
I love the charisma of this group, the videos are always enjoyable
Blake made the intro much better than I expected. I loved it. I wish I could work on this with you guys. It looks fun.
First time watching CGB's commander content, but surely not the last. Chill vibe. Like it.
What a great episode! Great introductions, and Blake killed it in so many ways, concluding in breaking two faces in one hit ;) The open draws were a great element by CGB, what a finish.
That top deck made Blake's slog-fest worth it! His reaction was priceless. 🤯
At 26:00 Shea shouldn't have made a treasure from Gala Greeters because Iroas didn't etb as a creature due to lack of devotion.
Blake won by life total, and by having his dapper hat last the whole game.

Great stuff. CGB be poppin off like he don't remember what happens when ya pop off. The real wise guy this episode takes the cake

Blake after breaking faces, acting blasphemously, and committing a double murder: "ah yes, peace"
26:00
Iroas, God of Victory will not trigger Gala Greeters, since Iroas is not a creature due to lack of devotion?
Never have I seen such a top deck lol. Love the dress up you guys did. Great game!
Great quotes from the video you may have missed...

News just in.... prices of charms are going up :D Great game guys, love the content :)
Blake.... best intro yet!! you get funnier by the episode and im here for it!!!
DID I FREAKIN WIN??? HOW THE HELL DO I GET INTO CONTACT WITH YOU??? 🤣😭
blake looking at the camera going "think youre better than him?" in solidarity is so cute
That was a very... CHARMING victory!
Important to note when you connive you only get +1 counters when you discard non land cards. At 21:25 when you discard a planes and city of brass you shouldn't have gotten counters on agent of treachery.
I refuse to edit my comment.
And then there was truly peace in our time.
Blake with the super clutch draw btw Blake you handsome in your suit
Those board resets x2 were clutch to slow everyone’s ramp. Great episode! 😊
"This is Carl of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and this is my stone cold topdeck of the century of the week."
Man these Commander games are my favorite part of your channel 🙌
SPOILER:
It’s fitting that Blake played the assassin guild and came in OUT OF NOWHERE and killed Shea and CGB with that legendary top deck. Sweet game y’all!
Is no one else freaked out by Blake not wearing a ball cap for the first time? AM I THE ONLY ONE FOCUSING ON THE IMPORTANT STUFF?
Awesome. Blake, that's what we call an ace in the hole. I heard big Pauly is gonna make you for this.
21:00 wait if CGB discarded 2 lands than shouldn't the agent have received no counters?
EDIT: ok but I agree with the reply below that the mistake was not properly reversed. of course these are new cards and I'm not smarter than CGB, I was asking about it earnestly haha
48:16 …that being said, I feel like Shea and Blake should be refunded the 2 life each at that point.
AVE BLAKE, BRINGER OF PEACE IN OUR TIME! NOW LETS GO SMOKE SOME HALO LIKE SOME WISE GUYS.
My favorite part was Ben's very enthusiastic "These new cards are great" after Blake went a charmed for the win
And the look of CGB there. Priceless:)
Welcome to the worst possible commander show, where nobody leaves without their ankles being shanked, or faces being broken
Blake’s monologue was actually fire🔥🔥🔥🔥
Underrated commander show
Blake wills his top decks into existence
Never saw it before, but with the outfit and mobster talk it just hit me: CGB would make for a great Goblin or Ferengi "legitimate businessperson" 😄
Always knew he reminded me of someone I'm familiar with...
I most definitely missed something, but wouldn't jarad be able to activate instandly?
26:00 that doesnt trigger alliance, cause the god isnt a creature.
Maestro's Charm 🤣🤣. Maestro in Spanish means teacher. Blake's top deck was a boooooooooooom! Right in the face! GG 🤣🤣🤣🤣. BTW good decks guys!!
Blakes demonic „meow“ really got me :-D
CGB- I caught that Goodfellas reference, love it.
Been itching to watch this all day
Well after the famous lightning helix we have Maestros Charm!!!!!! Amazing ending!!! Peace at last!!!!!
"At last, Silence. -Tevash Szat" -Blake
Blake's monologue was a balm for my soul
There's nothing better feeling than top decking to win the game
Blake, ya gotta top deck the good stuff to win this
Maestros Charm: Fuhgeddaboudit
I was definitely getting that "Blues Brothers" vibe from Ben, but on Shea's end I was getting "Breakfast Club" vibes, and Mr CGB and Blake I got more of a highschool prom vibe, sry guys. But I love all your beautiful faces and the entertainment you bring.
im glad a new card won the game!
I came for the new cards, but stayed for the gangster puns :)
Wow! Awesome game! Just built Raffine and Ziatora before watching this. Xander is in Evelyn for me. Can't wait to play them! The content here has quickly replaced Command Zone as my favorite in this mtg format 😎
What’s your Rafeen deck list????
Hah that ending was so good 🤣
Just to be THAT GUY for CGB, 1:15:22, you were supposed to also mill 2 cards and draw another card.
Unless if I'm wrong, I don't think you can target Karmic Guide with Reanimate since it has Protection from Black 🤔
Best topdeck in our time.
Peace in our time - by any means possible! Top Deck Gangster!
Absolutely love the commander content. This game was sick, felt so bad for Shea's mana screw though. One thing I noticed was the life totals aren't readily available throughout.

Fun game, it's a shame that Shae was so unluck and didn't get to enjoy the Cabaretti deck because I was looking forward to seeing it pop!
...and then there was truly peace in our time.
Doesn’t the luminarch only put a counter on a creature at end step?
You are thinking Alchemy
Iroas didn't trigger ETB, because it wasn't a creature.
Great banter lads
I love how not into the theme for new capena CGB was on the Arenacraft podcast and then he turns right around and does this.
Time to get the gilded foil Maestro's Charm!
Trooly da best tawp dekk in da game, Blake!
You put two counters on your commandar although you discarded lands.
48:16
@@jimbo_slice18 nice, it makes me feel good. I didn't think I was OCD, but I guess I am 😂
That was one of the craziest endings ever
Awesome to see Blake using the Bruvac I let him borrow on a worst possible episode!
That was a really fun watch
Such a great game. Can’t even be mad at a top deck like that
Here comes Ben in black, hes playing commander
**Queues TF2 Spy's magnificent line**
CJB rule the endgame and then this card, that was absolutely great 🤣😂
I was so excited to see Shae/Jetmir pop off, it happens sometimes :(
Ben showing that there's no friends in the mob!
That ending was certainly... shocking
I came here to watch Lord Xander win a game and I was not disappointed. Everyone asks why, I cannot wait to make a commander deck out of Lord Xander (my first one) and Blake showed why. Cannot wait to make my own Lord Xander deck!
Please do more of this commander battle royal!
Ok I'm gonna say, I was promised more pirate hat and there has been no pirate hat. There can be no peace in our time without pirate hats!
Fwiw, editor, I love the enhancements each week.
ITS LIGHTNING HE-
*oh wait no it's not*
ITS MAESTROS CHARM!!!
This gonna be the best one, isn't it?
It sure is 💪
