New rule. Every game that covert wins with blue he has to play the next game without blue.

[@phoenixblaze5491]

He is gunna cast his silence on you next

Shea: I'll be playing *insert commander that has G in mana cost* Me: ah yes, countdown to Craterhoof has begun

[@homeflakes]

Every time Shea says "pass the turn" without playing a card I cry a little bit

[@TapTwoCounterspell]

She's generally non existent in almost every game

[@graog123]

​@@TapTwoCounterspell to be fair she was about to pop the fuck off and the table shut her down with removal. Rhystic and doubling acute triggers who are all also mana dorks? Easily the biggest threat at the time

[@jorgefeio3826]

The look on CGB’s face when he silenced Ben, shows the rotten heart that a blue mage must have, you made me proud Sensei!

[@hassle14]

“You will love it until you hate it” perfectly summarizes CGB’s approach to torturing opponents

[@imanujakku]

The council of four is such a sneaky card. It appears non threatening but feeds a control plan with chump blockers and card draw and no one feels the need to point removal at it.

[@fajenthygia5760]

The thing I love most about this channel is the continuity, not just in players, but in jokes, like the stare Blake gave the camera about the "only" command tower in his deck.

[@thedevilcomes2011]

Finally finished catching up on the entire series :) what a good episode to end on! Love your work CGB, Blake, Shea and Ben

[@spencerrasmusson5499]

The thing I like about consistant playgroups is that playing a silence, and a counter like covert did actually had context behind it in an “inside joke” kind of way! It just shows that this playgroup plays for fun, which is what magic the gathering is all about. Makes me miss my playgroup! Good game :)

[@Kazz1187]

I read Stephen’s line in his voice haha

[@cameronnaraine8299]

37:15 Never... didn't... have it! Revenge never looked so good. Also, "oh, YOU draw a card!?" "Yeah... suck it..." - just some extra salt in the wound. Well done, CGB!

[@TapTwoCounterspell]

It wasn't nearly the same. CGB telegrpahed it horribly and forced priority to be passed to him. Clearly it was going to be answered before priority was passed to him as mana was being tapped but well... The sweat Lord made it about him as always.

[@lynnhavard3684]

Beautiful game played by beautiful people. Love the interactions that occurs when you guys play. You guys just present the perfect playing environment.

[@kandjar]

10:18 Just for CGB: Comprehensive rules 103.2 After the decks have been shuffled, the players determine which one of them *will choose* who takes the first turn. Although unusual, if you win the dice roll, you can decide the player who goes first; it doesn't have to be you (It could be Shae, for example ;-) )

[@Richuardo]

True card of the game was displacer kitten, holy moley, what a combo card - I had no idea it could target/protect itself. That was a fun win - love to see the “you win the game” cards go off and actually do a thing.

[@ColonyIV]

Displacer Kitten is such a cool card. There's so many combos it can create and a great value engine for flexibility.

[@jcomposer12]

CGB, I remember the days when EDH for you was this outside force that was for some reason affecting your beloved standard sets. I'm always so happy to see you enjoying yourself with this awesome playgroup in a totally different format. You guys have given me plenty of ideas to build around and cards that I wanna try. P. S. One of my friends came to Indy and I asked to get a Yorion or some UW card signed because you enlightened me to the joys of UW control! Good game 👍🏾

[@DanielBrinkmann1996]

This is probably not gonna win me comment of the game but I wanna say it anyway: It would be really nice to see a "non-control" round of the Worst Possible Commander Show. While I do enjoy a good control deck, I would also like to see everyone be able to play their deck for once without a thousand counterspells, pact of negations, force of negations and how they're called. I know they're good cards, but often I come to those videos thinking "Oh, I would LOVE to see this deck in action" and then the respective player eats like.. 3 of CGB's and Blake's counterspells and then the deck is basically non-existent for the rest of the game. So, yeah. Maybe something to consider for the Worst Possible Crew. I don't even know if many people think that way or if it's just me, but I wanted to put it out there. :) Anyway - GG CGB, a great game as always.

[@sebastianl4135]

lol CGB really held a grudge over that Force of Negation. Ben drew half his deck and literally got silenced and shut out of the game and then lost again with everyone else to the Second Sun. It burns!

[@brandonheadrick5637]

Never seen a man get slapped so hard and still be smiling at the end of it. My sincerest condolences for you at this time.

[@John--3-16]

Stayed till the end even through commercial for more support easily the best Commander group I ever seen and you all are AWESOME and can't wait to see what you do next BUT please never forget everyone you're cool 😎🤟🏽❤️

[@ILCEM-Y]

22:45 the Lux Cannon was already exiled from Resculpt at 19:50. Not that it would've changed the outcome of the game that much, though

[@santious6303]

Just made a Twins deck myself, so very exited to see how this game goes!

[@ella6547]

CGB, your win was as creative as a Muxus deck, as unique as a mono white player in Mythic and as magnificent as drawing 8 lands in a row. Good job! (also, attacking with creatures is better than drawing cards!)

[@pratikshah7306]

cgb i'm surprised you still have friends after that classic UW display. These 3 are defo something special.

[@chummer2060]

EDHRECCast was just talking about The Council of Four, I wanted to see how it plays. Pretty cool deck, definitely thinking of trying it out. I've been wanting to cast Peer into the abyss. Crazy card!

[@zackschwermer9617]

Was like OHHH God ben is gonna untap with 43 cards.... Well this is gonna be game over. Then CGB jumps in with a silence. Jesus Christ that was ruthless, and I love it!

[@tylerrobinson4390]

It was really great meeting you at Indy! I’ll never forget that massacre worm play! 😭 ❤️

[@GD0nly]

I did a promo game of commander for the Commander Legends set and used Council of Four as my commander. It's such a fun card that can come from behind after playing all sides.

[@AndreborgeZ]

"Silence, watch how the sun is beautiful. Soon there will be two! - whispers CGB as Blake finishes Ben" xD Loved the new intro (that used to be the outro but now is better) and good job overall. oh and CGB, you are beautiful (for the chance at the 50 bucks xD)

[@shaneo4749]

I haven't even finished watching this episode yet, but good God, Blake's Powerline t-shirt is amazing and I must have one. Really made him..... Stand out... in the worst possible into.

Never have I seen a value engine go this uncontested. Delicious White-Blue control, and that Silence was perfect!

[@samzgorski-maynard5216]

CGB: Silence! Blake: I kill you! Revenge is a sweet dish best served cold.

[@Chace957]

Big brain plays all around. I’m curious what Ben was about to pop off with. And definitely curious about Shea’s hand too! Congratulations CGB

[@marke.2413]

CGB needs a t-shirt that says “never didn’t have it”

[@anonymous_batsman]

Ben peered into the abyss but silenced for his visions. Quite the 'I have no mouth, and I must scream' experience

[@timduane7164]

Mana Drain, Force of Negation, into Silence, into Remand?! Bruh.. the interaction master himself.. I loved how your best plays remained in other players turns.

[@michakrypczyk3517]

Always keep good, healthy meme-competitivness balance :) PS: Did you notice it's like Shea's T-shirt knew it's Approach of the second sun for the win? :D

[@Deathsdoor1305]

That Kitten/Jewel combo is definitely giving me the same energy as CGBs engine combos from Brawl!

[@Marksmaan]

Cool win CGB. I was watching this while working on my new Hinata deck. I'm having trouble deciding on cards that rock with Hinata or just good cards in general. I'm afraid of having too many cards that are straight up bad without my commander on the field. I guess play testing will help haha. I mention this because i know Hinata is one of your favorite commanders too. Love the content my guy.

[@JorgeFlores-ir6eg]

Great game! CGB with the mana screw at the beginning but always showing why he is The One in Best of One.

[@robertoch8276]

Everyone knows what CGB's favorite three words are: Draw a card. But a very close second is: Draw three cards!

[@joesimon2169]

CGB you handsome devil, you... Great game. Silence was a well timed answer to Ben's shenanigans. I think you guys should get a bucket/garbage can or something for Blake to throw his cards into. Would make a great meme.

CGB! It's me! Longtime fan, I drafted The Council of Four at the local LGS and won the event, I've been brewing it ever since, expecting how powerful it could be! Love the videos, as always, love seeing the playgroup have fun. I'm also currently brewing a Daxos the Returned deck, would appreciate any experience you have? Haha get it??

CGB silencing Ben after him peering into the abyss was one of the funniest things I’ve watched in a commander game in awhile 😂

[@theeviljesii]

That cat flicker is crazy. I wish I had it to build a deck with

[@TapTwoCounterspell]

CGB is clearly the ultimate *pushes glasses up nose* AKSHUALLY annoying archetype to play against at the table. Casting a ton of permission magic the entire game and constantly "apologizing" for it and then making people pass priority to him, rules lawyering in a very serious way. And they all have to smile and have fun bc it's his channel. What a sweat Lord.

[@josephwhaley8209]

SILENCE!!! The Sound of SILENCE. SILENCE is golden. And... The SILENCE was broken. GG CGB!

[@EM10gamer]

Every week they call it the “Worst Possible Commander Show” but I swear…it just keeps getting better…

[@andrespestchanker3443]

Best CGB card was: "OK Blake, u don't target my mana things with ur lux cannon". That midnight clock popping won the game. BTW, have a doubt about mystic remora. It says... whenever target player plays blah blah... so don't u have to target a single player?

[@danpearman270]

The 'oracle' text clarifies that Mystic Remora works 'Whenever an opponent casts a noncreature spell' - one of the many old cards that's been updated to fit modern rules and/or wording. (And one of the pitfalls of commander - lots of cards no longer quite work with 'reading the card explains the card'...)

[@andrespestchanker3443]

@@danpearman270 I have the "old" remoras 🤣

[@DeepAcousticBroject]

I feel like the compleating of CGB has begun... He was an absolute "Nah, you not gonna do it"-Machine in this match..

[@krimhorn]

The Council of Four is Blue just for CGB because its effects, otherwise, are pure White. On a related note: I know in your Alchemy Baldur's Gate commentary video you lamented that Arena Tasha isn't the same as CL2 Tasha but I've had a ton of fun playing a Dimir Control deck with her grabbing the opponent's creatures from their library. Definitely a different deck from the paper version but huge tons of fun.

[@Asian_Caleb]

That was a glorious amount of card draw

[@kensw87]

hi CGB and friends, is there any way the volume balance could be better for these videos. some people's voice are too soft, then the others are too loud

[@Chace957]

Serious comment: you guys are all so entertaining playing. I know Blake has a YT, and I’ve subscribed, but does Ben or Shea have ones as well?

[@covertgoblue]

not yet but we are starting a CovertGoCrew channel officially for the Worst Possible content. Stay tuned for the official announcement and sub/share!

My card of the game would be the Aven Mindcensor. That was a hilarious play preventing the bauble from searching.

[@toctheyounger]

Well that was a masterful control win and no doubt - an azorius build to an absolute T. That deck should be named 'never didn't have it'.
