CGB & Blake: Our souls are locked in eternal combat! My combo is better than your combo! Shea: My creatures go wide! Tremble at their synergy! Ben: Hulk smash. Read 'em and weep.
To Ben, for me there were 2 moments for me where your love for MTG truly shone, first when you got Meathook off of CGB and gained 7 life - your whole demeanor was like you’d just boarded ‘that one’ rollercoaster you’ve been dying to try and were finally tall enough. Second, you brought all the trample, lifelink, etc. tokens you needed and outclassed CGB (who forgot to bring emblems)! Congratulations on the win 👍 PS. when you said, “the science checks out” I rofl’d
The epic battle for Middle Earth has been decided: A sheer endless horde of planeswalkers and scary birds pecking their prey had to finally succumb to Sir Ben and his trampling forces. Sweat. Blood. Tears. Until the final deathtouch. Bentouched!
The editor is the true hero in this game! Bringing this 4 hour game to 90min. Congrats to Ben for winning after all those planeswalkers showing that player removal is the best removal.
Alela is a deck near and dear to me, it's one I've been tweaking for some time, it's esper enchantress. Watching Shea play it in a game and do so well just made me glad inside. I've seen Alela flop in so many other games or they just used her for colors effectively. But this was chef's kiss even if you didn't win Shea, I was on your side the whole ride!
This was a fun one to watch actually all very different commanders to brew around! Meathook Massacre I think was my card of the game; it kept CGB alive long enough to do cool planeswalker things even as he was getting contantly attacked down
I think this game was my favourite one you've done out of all the shows (just recently finished binging this entire series until the most recent one). Having all decks be somewhat board based made it way more dynamic and interactive between players imo. Also no instant win combos makes it more interesting.
Ben is like a silent killer. He's quiet all game, just casually casting a creature every now and then. And then BAM!, here's my 10/10 Commander with a bunch of stuff, and you're dead! Would really love to watch the unedited version, but that might make the algorithm sick, so that's probably not happening. What a game, though! So fun to watch!!
Unbrial Rites has won so many games for me, truly one of the most powerful and handy cards. Great job bringing in the win and not giving in to the grind. 4 hours... that's a love of the game.
Ben facing an army of indestructible creatures: I can’t attack, who decided that? I can’t deal lethal damage, who decided that? I shall be the one to decide!☝️
Congrats to Ben! That deck is awesome! So was the game. So many cool things happened in that game. So nuts! I was curious about what should have happened with the bird token that was given to Shae by Blake, after he died. 1:17:23 So I googled and found that when Blake died the token would also have left since it was a permanent that he owned. As all Permanents a player owns exiles when the player leaves the game. 800.4a. When a player leaves the game, all objects (see rule 109) owned by that player leave the game, any effects which give that player control of any objects or players end, and all spells and abilities controlled by that player on the stack cease to exist. Then, if there are any objects still controlled by that player, those objects are exiled. This is not a state-based action. It happens as soon as the player leaves the game. If the player who left the game had priority at the time he or she left, priority passes to the next player in turn order who’s still in the game. Found that to be fascinating to read and now know. Of course since the game is pre-recorded it doesn't change the outcome of course. Once again congrats to Ben! 😁
To Shea, there was 1 game when you and Ben were the last 2 players. You played Edgar and Cordial Vampire on T2. Ben got 100 life from Ajani (he played Atraxa?)
Oh no, so little love for Kangee, Aerie Keeper! Blake should have received more respect for playing such cool and narrow card. One of the best things about commander is to see people play some random old cards for surprising effects.
Should tell Ben to stop letting arena shuffle his deck 😂😂 the flood was real. And man was hoping shea and the fairies would’ve prevailed. And also surprised the video tagline wasn’t “the cgb hate club” for how all of them targeted you so much 😂😂🤦
To Blake, Congratulations on choosing the perfect Commander to take down CGB’s “Endless Planewalkers” list before you died - thereby securing a truly stout (moral) victory ✌️The shenanigans you deployed were legendary!
I manage a kitchen, and spent my day making the day for as many mothers as I could. Getting out of work tonight after one thousand guests served and seeing “the worst possible” notification on my phone completely made my day. Thank you guys!
"So, I play Carth the Lion today. Which means, I have to read a lot of cards for you. Also You wil spend most of the time attacking them. In addition, I will have to keep track of a lot of counters."
Awesome game...really enjoy watching your videos and you guys having fun with magic. There's a natural chemistry between you guys. Keep up the good work and congrats Ben! Also ...did shae/shay become newly single? 😍 I see no ring on the finger anymore...that not I notice those kinda things. Lol 😆
Alela was the first commander deck I built after thr brawl deck came out. thought it was a cool Commander with Artifact and enchantment synergy. haven't had much chance to play the deck though
Congrats Ben!! I’m just happy Blake didn’t get to kill CGB via YOOOOOOOOOORION shenanigans… he would have been soiled; I never would have been able to blink anything ever again!
Well done Ben! Game lasted so long hope yall had a drink... Ben and Shea neck and neck, game was on the brink.... then in came Kathril with trample etc.etc. and lifelink.... basically an etb with everything.... but the kitchen sink ;)
To CGB, I loved how you always bring tokens but forgot the emblems this time and it didn’t matter because you yourself became the emblem that killed Blake lol
Great to watch, a fun game, but too much is cut for me to follow the game properly! I wouldn't have minded a longer version though, since you say it was 4 hours :)
SpongeBob and Sandy duking it out karate style while greedy Mr Crabs (CGB) and thieving Plankton (Blake) do not advance the plot like the supporting characters they are.
@Ryan Henderson -- Ben picked your comment as the winner for this episode! Please email covertgogina@gmail.com to receive your code for Cool Stuff Inc.
Ben didn't even need to distribute Kathril's ETB counters onto any of his other creatures to win, though I was hoping the first time he cast Kathril the deathtouch and lifelink counters went on the 6/6 trampler.
Because the attacker had deathtouch, meaning it can assign just one damage to each blocker and the rest to her (through trample). Even though the creatures won't die (due to indestructible), any damage from a source with deathtouch is still considered lethal damage, and thus the rest can trample through.
I continue to love this show, but I feel like the audio is always lower than I want it to be. Maybe just boomer problems, but I'd love if you turned it up a bit.
Form now on Ben should be called sneaky Ben! Just doing his thing, not drawing to much attention, and then, when all eyes turned on him… it was too late!
This game was about 4 hours long, the editor did a great job cutting it down. Don't play planeswalkers unless you love being attacked
Nice to see you trying not to play blue.
Lol I hadn't read this when I dropped my comment. Great job editors!
Superfriends will do that.
spider dying is not activation for lolth, it's just an effect. only +1
@@TimeWalk936 After last week I think he couldn't play any blue cards in good conscience
I really think Blake should play a prismatic bridge just to mess with CGB, make sure Jin is there, he loves that card
Table: " No way he has more plane- "
CGB: " Hold my emblem "
Ben: " The science checks out. "
I would just like to draw everyones attention to Ben's commander impression at 1:31:47.
You're welcome.
The look on CGBs face to Blake's "If I can win the game after having cast Yorion..." just priceless. Already hooked for this game!
CGB & Blake: Our souls are locked in eternal combat! My combo is better than your combo!
Shea: My creatures go wide! Tremble at their synergy!
Ben: Hulk smash. Read 'em and weep.

Absolutely makes my day seeing the notification for another "worst possible commander" video. CGB and fam you rock!!!
Ben vs Shae was like watching Godzilla vs Kong smacking the crap out of each other 😂 great episode y’all. Also A+ for Blake’s dad jokes

"I would say his face is the most dangerous"
So true, Ben. What's a Lolth to that devilish smile?
I thought that when a player dies and they have permanents from other players, those permanents go into exile? Great game and thanks for uploading!
I love the editing, I don't watch much commander but y'all do a great job trimming the fat to make a fun fast game
I love how ben's commander has so many counters on it at the end of the match that you can't see the art anymore
I like how you guys describe what most of the cards do. I usually listen instead of watch and I enjoy this type of gameplay.
CGB's first planeswalker activation of the game and he forgets carth's ability.... Thanks for keeping track Ben
The editor is the true hero in this game! Bringing this 4 hour game to 90min. Congrats to Ben for winning after all those planeswalkers showing that player removal is the best removal.

Ben has been trying to do the thing for so long and his deck finally popped off and carried him to victory! Congrats man! You deserve it!
That moment at 34:50 where Ben played the card that prevents cgb from spamming the planeswalkers was my favorite moment lmao
This was a fun one to watch actually all very different commanders to brew around! Meathook Massacre I think was my card of the game; it kept CGB alive long enough to do cool planeswalker things even as he was getting contantly attacked down

Ben’s comeback was awesome! He was sitting quiet waiting for the perfect time to strike
Woooow Mr./Ms. Winner… you’re such an amazing commander player and I reeeeally was cheering for you the entire game.
the pragmatism
Ben is like a silent killer. He's quiet all game, just casually casting a creature every now and then. And then BAM!, here's my 10/10 Commander with a bunch of stuff, and you're dead!

Awesome episode. I've never seen a keyword soup or golgari super friends deck, and the editing was amazing!
Lmao Blake refusing shaes alliance and immediately getting swords to plowshared chefs kiss
"Mom, can we get some Avacyn, Angel of Hope?" Mom: "We have Avacyn, Angel of Hope at home." Avacyn, Angel of Hope at home: *Sephara, Sky's Blade*

To Shea, there was 1 game when you and Ben were the last 2 players. You played Edgar and Cordial Vampire on T2. Ben got 100 life from Ajani (he played Atraxa?)
Ben: "Did you just pay 12 to give 1 creature +4/+4?"
Blake: Look of horrified realization
I love it!
That game was special in so many ways. Thanx for sharing!
The winner (whomever it is) is just the smartest and most pleasant human being I've seen : D
Oh no, so little love for Kangee, Aerie Keeper! Blake should have received more respect for playing such cool and narrow card. One of the best things about commander is to see people play some random old cards for surprising effects.
Ben I legit root for you and Shay every week, you all play more my style of decks, so it's always a good day to see The Mad Scientist win 😁
Should tell Ben to stop letting arena shuffle his deck 😂😂 the flood was real.
And man was hoping shea and the fairies would’ve prevailed.
And also surprised the video tagline wasn’t “the cgb hate club” for how all of them targeted you so much 😂😂🤦
I love that everyone else is trying to do some tricksy shit and Ben’s like look at how big these counters make my dorks
To Blake, Congratulations on choosing the perfect Commander to take down CGB’s “Endless Planewalkers” list before you died - thereby securing a truly stout (moral) victory ✌️The shenanigans you deployed were legendary!
Love your deck CGB, but I like Esika for Super Friends decks, you can also jam Jin Gitaxias for that extra counter-spell protection.
CGB talking with CGB
- How may i beat my opponents?
- Oh! I have a (ton of) Planne!
Birum - pish🙈
I really enjoy you´re videos!! Felicidades a todos, jugar contra planeswalkers necesita mucha paciencia :D. Saludos desde Bolivia-Sudamerica
Karn's minus ability still can be activated if there is an artifact in exile right? So the comment of CGB got me confused when he said it cannot
That Horsemanship joke won the game.
I don't care about the rules. That joke just won.
Good game! Ben said to everyone “look at me I’m the captain now”
11:35 I literally thought, "What no banding?" right before CGB said it.
I manage a kitchen, and spent my day making the day for as many mothers as I could. Getting out of work tonight after one thousand guests served and seeing “the worst possible” notification on my phone completely made my day. Thank you guys!
I’m so excited to see cgb play his deck. Typing during Ben’s worst possible
That 1 v 1 between Ben and Shea was an actual battle of attrition. Glad the War of the Fliers was won by a Ben 😎
"So, I play Carth the Lion today. Which means, I have to read a lot of cards for you. Also You wil spend most of the time attacking them. In addition, I will have to keep track of a lot of counters."

The One in Best of One, watches All for One vs One for All? That's Plus Ultra dude
Ben shows that regardless of how many lands you draw, you can still draw yet more lands.
Ben was legitimatwly the smooth silent killer, no one was really paying attention to him and then BOOM! xD
Shea's running my favourite colours. At 1:34, I'm calling it now. I hope Shea wins!!!
CGB: I'm a super-secret-amazing-ultra fan!
Carth is so cool! When I used to play him I was always hated out lol. People are super scared of planes walkers
Ben triumphs despite a FLOOD. Epic!
Alela was the first commander deck I built after thr brawl deck came out. thought it was a cool Commander with Artifact and enchantment synergy. haven't had much chance to play the deck though
Congrats Ben!!
I’m just happy Blake didn’t get to kill CGB via YOOOOOOOOOORION shenanigans… he would have been soiled; I never would have been able to blink anything ever again!
Woot!!! Second win for my favorite down to earth mtg player! Doing my best not to spoil the epic conclusion.
Shae’s deck made me nostalgic, I had an Alela deck just like that but i turned it into an Oloro deck
Well done Ben!
Game lasted so long hope yall had a drink...
Ben and Shea neck and neck, game was on the brink....
then in came Kathril with trample etc.etc. and lifelink....
basically an etb with everything.... but the kitchen sink ;)
I’m i the only one that wanted the complete 4 hours of content?? :) keep it up!
Wow! Amazing game! I love the giant creatures!
To CGB, I loved how you always bring tokens but forgot the emblems this time and it didn’t matter because you yourself became the emblem that killed Blake lol
I really like these games you got going on.
I couldn't stop thinking about "I am here" during this video
Ben got there in the end. Not enough people know about the interaction between deathtouch and trample. Ben we 🫡 you.
Wait, no one told me you guys were playing Archenemy... I thought we were playing Commander!
This game was so awesome, gonna build a Carth deck after seeing how much value he can produce!
The Aspect card is my favorite commander. Posting this after seeing all the commanders and no game play. I can't wait to see what it does.
So how did commander damage work at the end? Got a little lost on the indestructable first strike trample deathtouch interactions
What did Esika, God of the Tree, say to Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant?
"You compleat me!"
41:25 Phasing in is not an enters the battlefield effect, so it shouldn't have come in tapped.
I caught that too
Love to play commander at cool stuff inc have meet some really nice people that taught me to play commander
Gotta love that late game Sol Ring!
This video was a victory for all of us Bens.
Watched the whole vid u guys are awesome!!
Doesn't Kangi give all birds (including Sheas) +4/4 or did he get Oracle to only your birds?
Look at that tower of mustard colored rectangles
did CGB miss his commander effect off the first activation of his planeswalker? it add an extra loyalty right?
I probably missed something, but couldn't Shae have lived if she group blocked Ben's commander?
Great to watch, a fun game, but too much is cut for me to follow the game properly! I wouldn't have minded a longer version though, since you say it was 4 hours :)
SpongeBob and Sandy duking it out karate style while greedy Mr Crabs (CGB) and thieving Plankton (Blake) do not advance the plot like the supporting characters they are.
Ben wins this week: math checks out
Can we get a Ben shirt that just says "The Science Checks out"? I'd wear that everyday

@@CovertGoGina Ah sweet! Tell Ben I said he's the most underrated xD just sent an email!
Grist can be in the command as a 1/1 legendary insect (as PSA 👍)
13:30 - and the first misplay of the game goes to CGB by not paying the additional cost of gaining one loyalty.
Ben didn't even need to distribute Kathril's ETB counters onto any of his other creatures to win, though I was hoping the first time he cast Kathril the deathtouch and lifelink counters went on the 6/6 trampler.
If you plus Karn, Scion of Urza and the minus Karn, the Great Creator u can get back artifact card which was exiled by Scion)
I think bliec did my day not clue-les and fariecool so fun episod i dont often laf so much so thanks man
Dude sitting next to cgb looks like samwise gamgee
1-6 i attack cgb. Yorien is with meeeee! XD rlly interessting golgari commander but with more boardwipes really nasty to play against
why at the end Shea didn't blocked commander damage with 5 creatures? she had 4x 2/2 and her commander that would block 10 commander damage.
Because the attacker had deathtouch, meaning it can assign just one damage to each blocker and the rest to her (through trample). Even though the creatures won't die (due to indestructible), any damage from a source with deathtouch is still considered lethal damage, and thus the rest can trample through.

CGB, why not ult Nissa when she was at 7 loyalty and fetch all your lands? She ults at 7 with Carth on the Battlefield
