[@mr.coolio1746]

Just fyi Arixmethes enters tapped. You actually played that wrong two games in a row. Love your videos. Keep it up. like I said just an fyi.

[@joshuaalsum]

Good news, they just "played it on the show and don't need to read the whole thing". /s

[@davidtatum8540]

Blake used his planeswalker to untap it

[@thomasdavies7143]

@@davidtatum8540 He did, but the issue here is that Arixmethes should enter the battlefield tapped in the first place. While he could use Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner to untap it, at most he would only generate 3 mana, 2 from the untapped arixmethes and 1 from the land, and therefore be unable to cast Kiora, Sovereign of the Deep.

[@maidenless_tarnished]

Playing it wrong twice and adding salt in the wound the second time by saying they didn't have to read it is kind of hilarious

[@davidtatum8540]

​@@thomasdavies7143 You're right thanks for explaining

[@devontufts1291]

It might be a little thing but my favorite part of each episode is everyone posing as their commanders before the game, great shots lol

[@jameskohler3409]

Best part of this show is its pure casual fun! Mistakes get made but it doesn't really matter because everyones having fun. Love watching you guys!

[@psuguy221]

Thanks for the amazing content. I moved a few years ago and haven’t found my new play group yet and your energy makes me miss my the hours of “torment” and nonsense. You are all appreciated!

[@HarrisonChuuu0]

Jaheira's Respite also only fetches a land for each creature attacking the caster. It still does block all damage though!

[@skykur]

28:30 you can’t soul bond to another creature unless it ETB’s. To soul bond to Belakor in this instance, you would have to flicker deadeye first. That would allow deadeye to soulbond to belakor

[@atk9989]

Nope, when Deadeye or another creature enter if it isn't soulbonded you may soul bond them.

[@MBGnome]

​@@atk9989 Belakor didn't etb, the other demon did, so the only option was not Belakor. Skykur is right, to soulbond to Belakor you would have to blink the Deadeye navigator.

[@pleravens]

Judge! The Arixmethes should ETB tappped. That is part of why it is slumbering... I wonder how long between the last time show and this one the tapings were. Either they didn't read the comments, or they queued a bunch of episodes in a row and air them at a regular clip.

[@werevamp]

They didn't read the card, why would they read the comments? ;P

[@covetedjewel]

Hi all! It's probably not very relevant, but I don't think CGB could've gotten Wastes off of the Boseiju destroying his Oblivion Stone. Boseiju says to tutor a land with a basic land type and not specifically a basic land, and wastes don't have basic land types.

[@Weasels42]

For similar reasons, the Myriad Landscape discarded to Windfall should probably not be in a colorless deck - you can find up to two basics that share a land type, but that means CGB would only be able to get one Wastes if it ended up in play. Maybe if a deck wants to shuffle the library and put lands in graveyard bad enough it's worth including, but I rather doubt it.

[@FlamingViCTiM]

​@@Weasels42 you could just play evolving wilds or terramorpic expanse. those can at least find basics :D

[@atk9989]

Wastes are a basic land type, there are 11 total basic land types, the 5 colored, the snow covered, and wastes.

[@thatgrimdude1453]

@@atk9989 From the Comprehensive Rules (April 14, 2023-March of the Machine) 305.6. The basic land types are Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest. If an object uses the words “basic land type,” it’s referring to one of these subtypes

[@FlamingViCTiM]

@@atk9989 no, snow is a super type and and wastes are typless because that was their whole point in the story

[@nicholasguide8466]

Lol I love how Ben missed so many opportunities to use the koils effectively 😂

[@askloglog]

28:28 that's not how Deadeye works. Deadeye didn't enter so it can't pair with a creature of your choosing. It can only be soulbonded back to the demon that re-entered.

[@BrianShaw06]

Kaiju battle without ANY of the Godzilla alternate art cards as a commander?! 😢

[@palm0607]

"You said you were gonna counter the Koma" KOMA: Am I a joke to you ?!

[@privettk]

Awesome game - man Tribute to the World Tree and Koma is bonkers - Deadeye and Demons too!

[@maidenless_tarnished]

Misplay with Deadeye soulbonding to Be'lakor. Soulbond says "when either enters the battlefield" referring to itself or another creature that just entered, so Deadeye wouldn't be able to pair with Be'lakor when Shadowgrange entered

[@taylorgamble1965]

41:15 the Jealousy on Blake’s face. 😂

[@slysi84]

I was so sure Blake was going to pick a forest or an island as his card of the game ;)

[@peterrowley110]

Just a PSA for colourless decks. Wastes is NOT a basic land type. So Boseju will not let you get a land or any effect of the type. Sorry if repeated i didnt see a comment about this yet. Love the game all the same though!!

[@taylorjohnson5148]

I just got the reap the tides precon. I’ll definitely get some good ideas from these decks for upgrades

[@ShiroHeroGyro-k7m]

50:47 immediately knew that was the wrong call. CGB clearly the threat here Edit 51:49 as if he wasn't already going to be a prob. Sheesh

[@MunchKING]

26:30 Did he just make *3* 9/9 Krakens when only two of his creatures got through to players or did I miss something?

[@battlesoccer12]

wdym 1 at cgb 2 at shae only the 1 at ben got blocked. but he could have just attacked cgb with it which i did not understand

[@DraygaFlight]

And the colorless superiority continues!

[@NoPodcastsHere]

@13:15 Doesn't the nontoken one trigger for x=1 and the token copy sees itself in its own trigger meaning it etbs with x=2 even though it is immediately legend ruled. So that should be a draw/lose 3 (1+2), not 2. This is based on my experience on arena with etb creatures legend ruling themselves, not a comprehensive understanding of the game rules admittedly.

[@davidhobbs5679]

That unoptimal play of the aesi hurt my soul, my man lost out on a minimum 2 card draws

[@ncuco]

That threat assessment though... xD

[@jacobb1611]

Lol'd at the several closeups of Blake's face

[@Lord_Pickle]

This is the second time they forgot Arixmethes enters the battlefield taped

[@honzi5658]

I think the first cast of Be'lakor would've drew 3 cards. The first one sees itself, then the second one sees itself, and the original.

[@Richuardo]

Fun watch as always! I thought the demons from the other dimension had it, and poor flooded Blake - ironically on theme for his deck. GG everyone!

[@travisbrandt8663]

Blake looked so defeated after he got the rhystic study blown up and it came back. It hurt me. Made me wanted to hug him

[@IzzetNilson]

That freakin demon deck was so cool omg

[@FlamingViCTiM]

28:40 soulbond does not work that way. only the creature entering the battlefield can be bonded

[@atk9989]

When deadeye enters you can soulbond or decline, then when a new creature enters if deadeye isn't soulbonded then you may soul bond them.

[@FlamingViCTiM]

@@atk9989 yes, but you can only soul bond to the creature that entered the battlefield. Not to Amy creature you control

[@FlamingViCTiM]

@@atk9989 yes, but you can only soul bond to the creature that entered the battlefield. Not to any creature you control

[@really.really.]

29:43 "torques de metal líquido"

[@toddfakerson9922]

the spanish liquidmetal torque threw me off 😂

[@mtggodzilla7308]

Very nice commanders. Really interesting match.

[@DarrellHarding-xj9uj]

That slumbering isle comes into play taped

[@josephdillard2648]

Yo I saw it Too.. Up this comment so they can play the card right.. I have never played it wrong, (in my animar deck) so it makes me mad when they get away with it

[@TedMattos]

I'm just here to support my boys. #TeamBenBlake

[@Strolpol]

Shadowgrange Archfiend does a lot of work, and they didn’t even need to madness it into play.

[@BClevs]

How did Deadeye Navigator soulbond to Be'lakor the first time? Doesn't one of them need to ETB?

[@skykur]

Yep, they read the card wrong

[@alexhaley6448]

Great video as always keep them coming

[@andrewtreptow8806]

Is it not normal to have your worst possible platinum angel, darksteel forge, void winnower, karn the great creator and mycosynth lattice?

[@Nastyn1nja808]

Wow cool addition you can make easy time stamps

[@garnet_gaming4269]

Definitely preferred the new intro. The commanders in the background is cool but not really necessary

[@josephdillard2648]

@ 10:55, were not gonna talk about how Arixmethes comes in tapped!! you guys keep getting it wrong, Ben did the same thing last episode he played it.

[@brandantuck3147]

Cant soulbond to the commander when you flicker the other demon

[@lukemartineau490]

And for my worst possible, I am playing Eldrazi. 'Nough said

[@TheBigPenguu]

Colorless proves again that it's either terrible or absolutely broken.

[@toddb2581]

Have any of you guys ever run Komas tokens edh deck that makes the tokens into blight steels? I have. You guys should try it.

[@phatdistraction]

Couldnt ben sac a coma coil to tap the demon because it gains the ability to blink itself and then shea cant activate it to bounce it, and when the demon reenters she cant have deadeye pair with belakor only the creature that just entered

[@mandielyn0416]

So, using the definitive information from “the worst possible”, colorless is the most power color in edh! 😂

[@TheBoognish7]

Shea's SNAPPIN' them cards!

[@DCII]

46:15 Couldn't Ben block with the Coils then sac them to Koma's ability to tap something down?

[@danpasquale1620]

gotta ask... why didnt ben sack the koma coil in response to the etb to tap down belecor before having to sack it?

[@Ydna75]

spoilers!!!! . . . . . . . . . .. 10:52 it also enters tapped (one little word he missed) ..... thought you played with it already CGB ? 😅🤭....jk i would totally miss a thousand triggers or etb in one game ....love your content guys to be fair he paid for the rusitc studies which not even been on the battlefield later 18:45

[@tyrelledavenport106]

How is she able ro put molten echoes ability after belakors when belakors ability triggers molten echoes?

[@hadeszero4526]

Shea Lord of Torment! put it on a shirt and gimme 😂

[@blindcommander]

Why do ppl barely interact with CGB even when he's clearly the threat and have noticed Shay never attacks him until absolutely the last minute. She spends most of the episodes going after Blake and a little less often after Ben, but even when CGB is the the problem she leaves CGB alone. 🤣

[@Sonoflope95-]

The threat assessment in this pod always baffles me lol, 3v1 everytime against Ben meanwhile CGB has like 20 artifacts on board and just swung with a 24 with menace 😂

[@sethspace5207]

CGB's hands talk 3 seconds ahead of his mouth

[@MrRandsauce]

you went there Blake, you went there........lolz

[@Gr1mPulse]

FINALLY found my people! You guys/gals are hilarious and make watching/listening fun! Good ole Be’lakor putting in work and still losing. ༼ ༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ༽

[@hopequasar248]

There is NO way at any regular EDH table would the players focus Ben over CGB with all of those permanents! 😂 Paid actors! Gg though.

[@JoaoPedro-pn7xb]

Does anyone know which sleeves CGB is using?

[@michaelbutta4764]

They are sleeves gifted to him from his visit to/collaboration with Loading Ready Run’s KZbin channel (which was awesome)

[@ketoinvestor]

The Kaiju ARE COMING!!

[@timnichol6566]

Gross

[@hanschristopherson8056]

Eldrazi have to be the most kaiju creature magic has but I have to root for the lord of torment lol

[@RM_3D]

Why do they ignore CGB when his board is insane? could of taken him out multiple times

[@rbarril]

CGB shouldn't have searched for a waste for Boseiju.

[@atk9989]

Yes he can, waste is a basic land type specific to colorless.

[@Hellcreature36]

@@atk9989 No, wastes is a basic land named "Wastes". It doesn't have a basic land type.

[@rbarril]

@@atk9989 exactly. It is basic, but it doesn't have basic land type. Even Arena won't let you pick the waste yo Boseiju.

[@thrillhouse4151]

Go Jet Jaguar Go!

[@marcrusian4681]

The mii avatars in the background in the post-deck-intro intermission clip are kinda pointless: You can't see enough of them and most people probably don't even notice them. I prefered the commander backdrops, plus they explain the poses.

Hi from Switzerland, we're neighbors ;)

Hi from Italy, we are neighbors too :)

[@andrewwhite5176]

Shea couldve just killed cgb the turned she dishes out like 25 dmg to Ben!

[@AzureAiluren]

Watching Shea sit there and ping Ben down when CGB has everything on his board and infinite mana was honestly just confusing. Like, he's got Forgotten Monument and a hand full of cards and endless mana, why are you focusing on Ben and his silly little snake tokens? Same goes for Blake swinging 18 power Ben could just chump instead of...y'know, ending CGB right then and there.

[@phantomjoker5362]

Let's go kozilek!!!!!!!!!

[@razzlefrazzle69]

Koma can’t be countered!

[@gunnarmiller5467]

Cgb = mfing living fing legend

[@TheMagister]

Judging by the ring, Shea *already has* that title; awarded by one lucky person

[@dondariohabibi5118]

IN RESPONSE TO WHAT TRIGGER CGB :(( you cant respnse to the chosen stuff of druid of puri

[@biggusjimmus1831]

I think giving koma indestructible doesnt stop sacrifice from rakdos?

[@oliverwilson6013]

Rakdos, the Showstopper? It says destroy, not sacrifice, so using Komas ability to give it indestructible saves it.

[@slimyelbow]

Fun

[@CoL_Drake]

CGB missplay. you cant get a waste for boseju it has no basic land type. as colorless player you get NOTHN

[@CorruptedFingersLine]

7:48 Actually you can’t play Wandering Archaic in a colorless deck because the backside is black and that goes against the Commander color rule

[@mzex1307]

There is no colour indicator on explore the Vastlands, it's a colourless spell.

[@MunchKING]

Two people playing Green Blue, but noone is playing SIMIC? Where's the mad scientists turning ordinary animals into Giant Kaiju with the power of +1/+1 counters or something?

[@kurtmooreca]

First, see you tomorrow

[@shaylic3795]

Don’t think Demons really fit Kaiju theme. Was a cool deck though.

[@Lucdealencar]

You seriously need either a judge or another person on the side to watch over the game state and assess all the mistakes in real time. This episode was painful to watch, honestly, with all those mistakes almost all players made.

[@bradstanky]

hey gang arixmethes ETB'S tapped just fyi
