Kamigawa Neon Dynasty was my first set getting into MTG so this had an additional nostalgic feeling. I really enjoy this type of themed decks! Also Shoutout to the hardworking producers and creatives behind the scenes! The interaction between CGB and Blake with Rhystic Study and Smothering Tithe is ridiculous.
This was a great episode! I love high power commander; it's fun to see you all go (almost) all out and with minimum salt levels. This is a great pod and I cant wait for more episodes!
Somehow I missed this during my personal youtube summer break. Guess there are some things I have to catch up to (after starting on Planar Championship Round 4 :D) I love it! So much flavor! But thank you for the reminder that every. white. deck. needs Farewell ;)
This "Planar Championship" concept is really cool! The planes are so distinct, and I think this will really let that show. Also, RIP to Ben for the worst Ruinous Ultimatum ever, through no fault of his own u_u
This taught me a lot, both in things I didn't realize like how targeted removal is (once again) less effective against another commander but also in confirmation of play patterns I've hypothesized to increase longevity so I can win with my favorite commander, Go - Shintai. Loved the game, thank you!
Fwiw, i love the power level balance of these decks, theyre perfectly strong imo and fun to watch. The tax man mirror was hilarious. Also, i can appreciate it as a shorikai player myself, having piloted the deck before its durdly but really fun. Ggs everyone
talk about the comeback of the century. Definitely felt like the game was going to be over really quickly but a few big swings turned the tide of this champion battle.
I really wanted Ben to win after the Ruinous Ultimatum. If only he had a Bojuka Bog as his land for turn. That would have sealed CGB's vehicle graveyard.
I want a game where everyone has blue, white, black themed decks. Everyone has ryhstic study, smothering tithe, and annoited procession and then everyone cast fractured identity on any of the enchantments
I’m fine with having one or the other between Rhystic Study or Smothering Tithe on my board at a time, but not both. I’m self conscious enough about just having one out, and about how much time I take on my own turns.
I appreciate the listening to the community. No one is above reproach constructive criticism is necessary when necessary sorry to bust your all's balls but needed and necessary were just trying to keep you all on The Way
My Isshins worst possible is T4 infinite combat using Lightning Runner and either another energy generator like Aethergeode Miner or Guide of Souls and attacking token makers like Krenko.
After The Ultimatum CGB shouldn’t have been drawing off of any but the first spell and when Ben drew a card he shouldn’t be make treasures anymore. The triggered card are enchantments not artifacts
This had to be... one of the most disgusting EDH gameplays II've witness with 2 players both of the having those braindead enchantments at the same time.... pure AGONY, those pretty much won the game..., lets just say Very rarely do I root for Yuriko 😅 ... Having said that, I really like the Championship concept, and maybe can be for the planes visited in the current standard or something
i'll be honest, I'm kinda sad you didn't just go straight to the CEDH versions. I'm guessing because they'd be too expensive for everyone who isn't CGB, and your sponsors would be uncomfortable with proxies xD
I’d love to see Kibler, Josh from game knights , CGB, and Jim from the spike feeders all play a level 9 edh game sometime. Like - as sweaty as possible without playing cedh.
This is why Tithe and Rhystic should be banned. It basically turned into a 2 player game, where Ben and Shay basically got to watch. Love the content though, keep it up.
The more I watch CGB the more I find him annoying and realize I only come back for his friends. Does power level just mean rhystic study and smothering tithe? I wanted Ben to win so bad
Unironically CGB shouldnt have attacked with Shorikai or ALL of his treasures. I think the attack was overkill on Shay lol. Edit: NVM CGB cast Brilliant Restoration LOL good stuff.
Love the championship concept, excited to see where this goes.
Us too!
19:20. for pain. for sorrow. for laughter. and for joy bordering on madness drunk with power. we play.
Ive never seen CGB happier than when he's playing the tax man
This was a ridiculously fun video, I loved it!! Excited to see more of these planar championships!!
More to come!

3:13 I desperately need merch with Ben's expression on it 😆😆
This was a great episode! I love high power commander; it's fun to see you all go (almost) all out and with minimum salt levels.
This is a great pod and I cant wait for more episodes!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love that in the Assassin’s Creed episode, everyone said Brent had a great voice and now he’s reading the sponsors!!
Am I the only one who loves it when CGB plays any U/W deck?
yes😂😂
Yes
I mean CGB wouldn't be CGB if he wasn't playing some type of Blue lol
I definitely love it
Yeah because no one likes annoying.
as a fellow Shorikai player this episode makes me so happy
30:45, the comedic timing on this is perfect.
Really nice to see Brent partake! Feels like a true circle of friendship in addition to a wild game!

The start of a multiverse championship? Love the idea!

That was a lot of fun! Not sure how I've missed this commander show popping up on my algo but can't wait for more!
You guys are the best! Fun to watch
I'm so happy to see my favorite commander wins, great episode!
Another banger. 😂 And I like you running with the idea the gameknights live championships had started, its really cool
Shorikai is so much fun i still have mine i think im gonna rebuild it after watching this.
Ben should be playing Brave The Sands and Heliod, God of the Sun. So the double / triple combats work.
CGB! I'm missing the podcast my friend! Any chance of ArenaCraft coming back soon?
I just pulled apart my Shorikai precon from all those years ago! I want to rebuild so this is perfect inspiration.
Fwiw, i love the power level balance of these decks, theyre perfectly strong imo and fun to watch. The tax man mirror was hilarious. Also, i can appreciate it as a shorikai player myself, having piloted the deck before its durdly but really fun. Ggs everyone
I like this idea. I'm definitely looking forward to future planes and matches. CGB with shorikai sounds super dangerous.
talk about the comeback of the century. Definitely felt like the game was going to be over really quickly but a few big swings turned the tide of this champion battle.
Maybe I missed it because of all the tithe/rhystic triggers but did cgb ever roll for mana crypt? Not that it would have made a difference.
He did, but I think he might've missed one.
I really wanted Ben to win after the Ruinous Ultimatum. If only he had a Bojuka Bog as his land for turn. That would have sealed CGB's vehicle graveyard.
Very cool game, momentum kept swingin around. It made the game really interesting to watch.
Poor Blake losing even though he had it all. One of the funniest episodes thanks to rhystic study and tide. I am pretty sure Kibler can beat CGB.
Awesome! Didn’t expect Yuriko to bite the dust with such an awesome start.
Love this premise!
My champion would be Chishiro, the Shattered Blade who I’m sad didn’t make it to the table lol
Awesome series idea. I can't to see what plain the next championship match is played on.
I love this power level of games, keep more of this comming please...
I want a game where everyone has blue, white, black themed decks. Everyone has ryhstic study, smothering tithe, and annoited procession and then everyone cast fractured identity on any of the enchantments
As someone who plays a version of the deck that won....hype!!!!
I’m fine with having one or the other between Rhystic Study or Smothering Tithe on my board at a time, but not both. I’m self conscious enough about just having one out, and about how much time I take on my own turns.
What's the tanuki's name?
Was that flying raccon towards CGB cut or am I imagine things? You know, when Blake tossed him. xD
Two rhystic studies and two smothering tithes on the board at once is a perfect description of my own personal hell...
16:53 Who knew Yuriko would end up being the hero we truly needed. Hope Shae can take down the double Rhystic Tithes
Would you guys consider an Innistrad championship?
I had a feeling Ruinous Ultimatum was the card that Ben searched with DT. Awesome ^^. Too bad CGB might have also figured that out lol.
Imagine if ben coulda exiled cgb's graveyard right after that epic sweep
as a dedicated self mill player, bojuka bog is a love/hate card for me, but my god would that have been a slick play
Another good game, thanks all
CGB saying "i will not draw" is a first time for me :D
havent watched the full video yet. but ben is the only champion
That ending was crazy
CGB & Blake: "OMG...Rystic Study & Smothering Tithe. Twinsies!"
Ben & Shay: "Get us out of this 'Will you pay for...' hellhole!" 😂😂😂
Great Game guys
Didn’t they have another channel?
But what was the raccoon named??
Shay and the ninjas. Go ninja go ninja go!
This was an especially funny episode
Each episode i get more convinced that cgb has some valliryan blood in him 😂😂😂
I appreciate the listening to the community. No one is above reproach constructive criticism is necessary when necessary sorry to bust your all's balls but needed and necessary were just trying to keep you all on The Way
The second Rhystic Study and Smothering Tithes are the worst possible Commander things.
That commander ninjitsu should increase by two also, crazy design flaw.
Blake got so lost in the sauce, he drown 😂
My Isshins worst possible is T4 infinite combat using Lightning Runner and either another energy generator like Aethergeode Miner or Guide of Souls and attacking token makers like Krenko.
Blake’s shirt is excellent
TIL Ninjutsu is my favorite MtG mechanic and my hatred of Blue mana is once again vindicated.
And yet, ninjutsu is a blue/black keyword!
My Kamigawa Hero is Shorikai but Yuriko is definitely going to win this
LETS GO SHURIKO!!!!
Crazy game!
That raccoon is so lovely❤ I need it
but... WHAT IS IT CALLED CGB
Lets go isshin, ben almost go with the game
no patron of the kitsune?
That was a great game, I picked Ben at the start and really thought he had it there 😭
this is a great idea
I like the shrines
This is the sort of evil I watch this show for.
Normally root for Shea but really can't get behind Yuriko. So let's go with the underdog Ben. (I suspect CGB/Shorikai will win though)
I'm sorry, but CGB has the superior Sol Ring.
Dunno why Blake always only made one treasure with the shorinai ability from cbg
After The Ultimatum CGB shouldn’t have been drawing off of any but the first spell and when Ben drew a card he shouldn’t be make treasures anymore. The triggered card are enchantments not artifacts
All the work Shae did without sol ringo and those fugging enchantments... poor Shae😢
Blake's cookie monster was more of a yoda
Get frogged bro. Bloomburrow is looking even more amusing.
Hoping for some Alara representation!
I feel annoyed that my playgroups have lied about yuriko saying you have to pay a commander tax... god she's more broken than I thought
Retro frame is superior Blake, I agree
This had to be... one of the most disgusting EDH gameplays II've witness with 2 players both of the having those braindead enchantments at the same time.... pure AGONY, those pretty much won the game..., lets just say Very rarely do I root for Yuriko 😅 ...
Having said that, I really like the Championship concept, and maybe can be for the planes visited in the current standard or something
Go-Shinat?
Did you mean Go-Shintai?
I'm not even going to watch the video, just wanted to stop in and ridicule for spelling the title wrong.
i'll be honest, I'm kinda sad you didn't just go straight to the CEDH versions. I'm guessing because they'd be too expensive for everyone who isn't CGB, and your sponsors would be uncomfortable with proxies xD
Oh and BLAKE BLAKE BLAKE BLAKE BLAKE BLAKE!!!!!
Yoriko yoriko
Go-Shinat
Robuts better win
Edit: they ruined it with the study and tithe
I’d love to see Kibler, Josh from game knights , CGB, and Jim from the spike feeders all play a level 9 edh game sometime.
Like - as sweaty as possible without playing cedh.
Isshin
This is why Tithe and Rhystic should be banned.

!
The more I watch CGB the more I find him annoying and realize I only come back for his friends. Does power level just mean rhystic study and smothering tithe? I wanted Ben to win so bad
Perhaps remove rhystic/tithe from your decks so games don’t go like that again? Was a little hard to watch tbh.
Unironically CGB shouldnt have attacked with Shorikai or ALL of his treasures. I think the attack was overkill on Shay lol.
Edit: NVM CGB cast Brilliant Restoration LOL good stuff.
So basically 80% of the game is DO YOU PAY TAXES
Ew Yuriko
