[@JRosen99]

I feel like this series can be summed up as Blake goes crazy, CGB saves the table and Shea steals the victory. Ben is also there.

[@smoothoctopus4633]

Ben is off to the side quietly about to go off then dies.

[@spanver1502]

Blake- Villainous Hero Ben- The peoples Heartthrob Shay- Sweet yet scary CGB- The Blinged Out Schemer

[@reachingvalhalla5096]

I feel like Ben really came out of his shell since the first game. Way more communicative! Love his dry sence of humour :D

[@muskiestmuskrat]

I like his seance of humanure to

[@shawnbreen5361]

**SPOILER FREE** I love how you guys have the same cast in each episode. The continuity allows us (The Fans) to follow the rivalries that have developed, and tenancies of each of your play styles. Great series, and this was the best episode yet!!!

[@HTYM]

Ben: I have 127 life! Shea: Aw, that's so cute.

[@Nico-rf4wb]

The cascade when he casted soul of the harvest was a miss play… Cascade only cast spell with less mana value than the one that triggered the cascade…

[@MrFilm4Life]

More than just that: Imoti’s ability applies further to spells you cascade into so long as they are CMC 6+, so the Kona would have triggered an additional cascade. That being said, Imoti is a stack-heavy deck and it’s a lot going on atop producing content so I don’t blame them

[@Caderfixloxa]

35:33 - Smiling CGB: It can be fun! Blake: It will be fun, but we're gonna both have fun! CGB: *stops smiling Typical blue player hating fun

[@juggytheman5075]

When sakashima's protege came into play he could not have copied galta because galta did not come into play that turn.

[@macarraodeshanghai]

and dont forget that ghalta is legendary

[@JakeOakley1991]

So, even IF Ghalta had entered that turn, they'd still have to sacrifice one of them to the Legend rule.

[@Joseph125]

Everyone taken out by the same Vito? Overwhelming victory right there. Once again, to CGB's dismay, life gain wins.

[@zego324]

Blake - Turn 1 Sol Ring + Arcane Signet Shae - And I took that personally

[@covertgoblue]

Shea says you win comment of the week, and a CoolStuffInc gift code. Email [e-mail] with a screenshot of this comment and I will reply with a code

[@sw3dprints]

Ben " i shall grant proliferation to this vampire deck.: Ben :oh shit i just gave proliferation to this lifelinking vampire deck"

[@MrMaxel3]

I feel like Blake always goes on the same journey: Starts off strong, starts steamrolling, gets overconfident and tells the rest of the player how strong he is getting, engages in a war with CGB, gets focused by everyone and dies the first player :( I guess the moral here is that you shouldn't look too threatening to your opponents in Commander or otherwise you'll drown in focus

[@daltooinewestwood6380]

My man has no poker face and too much honor

[@skruffytiger2002]

Yes, he seems to enjoy reminding each of the players at the beginning of their turn that he's going to kill them, which baits reactions from them that they otherwise might not do. Alternatively, CGB seems to play up the deadliness of everyone else's threats as a way to distract from his own, even when he's in a strong position.

[@PinkReaper1]

The level of misplay with Imoti hurt my soul. Cascading a 6 cmc into another 6 cmc, forgetting that spells cast off cascade are in fact cast and thus trigger imoti(Koma), making Sakashima's protege a copy of a Ghalta(which would kill it from legend rule) and also not reading Protege to see it says it enters as a copy of a creature that ETB'd that turn. It burns.

[@MBGnome]

Blake never reads his cards properly

[@bwet2056]

yeaaa plus all the card draw misses/mistakes ... Butt the most painful was the lack of imoti dances when hitting a cascade chain. Just "hey camera crew look look clip these 20 flubs I'm making !".. All in good fun tho np get em nextime 👍 stack is complicated for new players

[@HComfy]

yeah I saw that sequence and cringed also

[@LordKaiju_2]

"We Clocked the Ghalta at 35 mph." Best line of the game

[@jovanjorgensen9848]

I accidentally hit the dis like button… I switched it but I feel bad. So to make you feel better about that awkward notification. I personally love your content and use your guides to play arena with some fairly decent success. I enjoy magic a lot and you make the game enjoyable from a watching perspective which like golf isn’t the most interactive entertainment but the way you say things with a sense of humor gets me going and makes me want to play more! Thank you CGB team and creator for the continued effort and entertainment!

[@darthvaderzim7721]

I love how shay is the only person that plays agrro each week, and that she is able to stand toe to toe with everyone else. I may be team Jacob, but after this video I'm also team Shay 🙂

VolcanicIsland last game, Gaea’s cradle this game. The content creator money is real

[@daltooinewestwood6380]

It’s possible that the game store they record in are letting them borrow their stock

[@reachingvalhalla5096]

@@daltooinewestwood6380 he made a video stating he earns 30k of his youtube channel per month. I think he can afford the cradle and duals ;)

[@daltooinewestwood6380]

@@reachingvalhalla5096 that doesn’t mean they actually bought the cards though, They play 4 different decks every week, thats close to 8,000 dollars a month if each deck is purchased from scratch and costs around 500 dollars, it’s way better from a business perspective to borrow the product from the store, especially since Gaia’s cradle and volcanic island are each like 800 dollars. I don’t doubt he owns his own copies, and maybe he’s using it, but it’s much more likely that they give the store their deck lists and borrow them.

[@JStack]

@@daltooinewestwood6380 CGB said the volcanic island was his last episode. He also recently when through his binders of full foil sets. I don’t begrudge him or anything just making light of his baller status lol

44:48 i thought sakashima's protege only copy's somthing that entered this turn but the trex has been in for awhile so this is kinda confusing for me. am i missing a rule?

[@HComfy]

I think it was a misplay! They’re hard to avoid in long commander games.

He also couldn't have cascaded into the Soul of the Harvest since Sakashima's Protégé is the same CMC

[@JakeOakley1991]

@@chriscunningham6401 I missed that. Also true.

I don't remember seeing someone so upset at being eliminated in one of these videos until Blake took his last 1 damage.

[@daltooinewestwood6380]

I’m pretty sure Blake has been the first elimination in every video, which is hilarious because his first few decks were insanely good, and just got unlucky

[@tjloefflerjaetem]

@@daltooinewestwood6380 it's actually why I don't like commander. I love these videos, I just don't like to play it. If you have an insanely good deck that's off to a good start everyone will team up against you.

Poor Blake. I can see his heart whither immediately after he pops off with an extinction level board presence, then follows it with "How do I survive until next turn..."

[@ryangoodenow2518]

Chill game. I imagine Ben is a childhood friend of everyone playing

[@dusanm7513]

Noticed that Blake usually gets the best board first and gets shut down or K.O.-ed cuz of that 😄 Ben is just there chilling playing peacefully and gets attacked whenever there's empty board, people know he's only one who won't take it personally 😁 and everyone just ignoring Shae until she becomes too big of a threat and a too much to handle. And then there's CGB who I'm secretly hoping to win always 😁. Really enjoyed this and all previous commander battles reminds me of time me and my friends played, keep it up!

[@Thundercall1991]

Imoti is pretty hard to pilot as there is so many triggers to account for so fast. Good job! Was cool seeing her do her thing. Very cool match guys :D Everybody did a lot! The one turn with Heartbeat of Spring: - Koma (7 cmc) would've cascaded too. - Soul of the Harvest (6 cmc) couldn't have cascaded from Sakashima's Protege (6 cmc). - Sakashima's Protege couldn't come in as a copy of Ghalta; Ghalta did not enter that turn and if it would've, then you'd have to sac one of the 2 due to the legendary rule.

[@mightyhulk1483]

Cordial vampire triggers were missed..

[@reachingvalhalla5096]

It kinda hurt a little when CGB smashed that Bayou and Cradle together haha

[@pootro]

Isn't supposed the cascade triggers resolve after the 4 Cascade goes to the stack???

[@mcbescheiden725]

Yes, not that it matters here

[@kholliday]

I suggest processing your audio with the free levelator utility to get all players to the same loudness level. Then just import and used the processed audio. And maybe place your one mic nearest to the quiet player. Good luck, looking forward to seeing more episodes.

[@the_r4ts]

Sakashima's Protege should have died to the legend rule for copying Ghalta, now let's watch the rest of the video to see if it mattered Edit: LMAO

[@ApacheStoryteller]

I think that Bane turn the only legal target for Sakashima's Protege would of been Soul of the Harvest, Galta entered the turn before(aside from being legendary). He even read the card, the target had to of entered before it that turn....

Think you missed a few cascade triggers; since stuff that was cast off of another cascade trigger should still cascade again if it is still 6 or more - e.g. the koma
