    44:13 CGB accidentally subtracts 1 from his life total while handling his cards, taking him from 14 to 13 life. 45:18 Blake threatens exactly 13 damage. 47:12 The mighty fall. RIP in peace CGB.

    32:30 Blake, you are such a good sport. To put a positive spin on getting double teamed by the two "nope" mages was classy.

    Ben reminds me so much of Uncle Iroh. He's relaxed, has an incredible laugh, and an absolutely infectious smile. Like Ben just looks like a guy you'd absolutely want to sit down and hang out with. Ben, also like Uncle Iroh, at the end of the day is still a freaking DRAGON. Mess with the dragon, die in flames. Amazing win, Ben.

    "Go for the eyes Boo!"
    Moment of the game, right there.
    The Pact of Negation ensuring Boo would actually REACH the eyes was the play of the game.

    I liked how Shea instinctively looked at CGB, even though CGB was already dead after casting her spell to see if CGB was going to counter it. 🤣🤣

    After watching an earlier episode of Worst Possible Commander, I decided to try out Warstorm Surge in a deck and I love it every time I get to cast it! Keep putting it in all your decks Ben, it’s now your calling card!

    Truthfully, I was rooting for Ben the whole time!! Miirym was one of my favorite cards out of Baldurs Gate and I bought 4 boxes and only pulled a single copy!! As soon as I saw the card I wanted to build my own commander version and so in honor of Ben and his win, I must finish my own build and who knows, maybe warstorm surge may find it's way in! 😅
    Great job, Ben!! Love the show! You guys are all awesome!

    It is really amazing that for more than 90% of the game Ben went most of the game completely unnoticed while he was doing some set up and then it was a huge payoff to win. I am really amazed that the pay-off from those enchantments really took the game in that way.

  • @zachtaylor2560

  • @Mrbones1102

    Welcome back Ben, comeback win. Reminds me of my strat.
    My scumbag strategy is moaning and being generally salty about my draws and how I have nothing to play and how I get my stuff countered and removed....up until they leave me alone and start going for each others throats. Then I try to win when they run out of juice like the trash I am.
    Well Ben did it minus the moaning.

  • @sebastianl4135
    @sebastianl4135 Місяць тому

    Never underestimate the Dragons! Also two things: I love how Blake's version of a Timmy deck is to not go for dragons or large monstrous beasts or giants or whatever. No, he goes for Hamsters. I also find it amusing that CGB consistently shows up with four different commander decks to play each game, three of which were built by his friends under the false impression that they were made to be played by them.

    Sometimes being the underdog isn't to bad, as people feel bad focusing you (Blake swinging only 2 damage at Ben when he had a lot more potential damage "because he isn't doing anything"). That is why I love decks that fly under the radar setting up for a big turn!

  • @tjloefflerjaetem

    Mirrym is such a great versatile timmy commander. It lets you sprinkle in some counter magic to protect yourself without feeling like you are losing focus on your strategy the way that it would if you were playing Ur-Dragon.

  • @youngnikos9625
    @youngnikos9625 2 роки тому +2

    As a Miirym player, my advice to Ben is : play more dragons ! since it's a tribal deck, you probably want to aim at 24-25 dragon creatures, so you really can benefit from your commander's effect every turn.
    Also, Shared animosity isn't that great of a card in a dragons deck, since it takes time before you can really go wide. I'd rather replace it with a cheap dragon (Swashbucker Extraordinaire for example, great card).
