Dragons and Mutants and Bears, Oh My! Chromium Ayula Ivy Sissay | Worst Possible Commander Show #37

[@PraetorGix]

I hate those anniversary proxies for what they represent and I'd hate if one of those youtubers who have been complaining about these suddenly bought the packs "for the channel". Having said that, the proxies in a vacuum aside from the financial crap are cool and what you decided to do with them is one of the better ways of sharing them with the community IMO, so kudos to you guys for that.

[@brandonolar3217]

It helps that he was gifted them and didn't actually pay for them. At first I thought he went to the darkside.

[@charleyschrader2058]

Missing the Pouncing Shoreshark triggers while Shea was popping off. She would have cleared the board.

[@matt21643]

And even named the shoreshark when he named the monstrosity token.

[@ApacheStoryteller]

And right before that they missed out on drawing 7 more cards for the cerulean whisps by targeting the parcel beast instead big the golem, but that deck is nutty and had so much value going on, it rocked

[@t3july]

I know this is a year old. But I want to make sure I’m thinking of the same thing as I just built and ivy deck. When you mutate onto a precursor golem. That mutate would then copy onto every golem and both ivy’s correct? Is that the trigger you are referencing? And As long as you mutate beneath that golem. Then their triggers will still activate as long as you target them from then on.

[@Asian_Caleb]

Reading Camouflage was a hilarious moment

[@ella6547]

Love to see Blake playing Graham Stark from Loading Ready Run's Bearforce One deck!!! Yaaaay bears!!!!!

[@nathanielreichert4638]

Wow; Shea’s commander drew more cards than Esper S, Rhystic S, and Mystic Remora combined this game. Great job!

[@nathanielreichert4638]

I’ve been wanting to make an Ivy Brawl deck, and I may take inspiration from Shea’s deck..

[@youngnikos9625]

People who cant create synergies put these cards in their deck so they don't have to think too much

[@BlakeMTG]

Did someone say card draw… 😡

[@charlottehgomez]

Thank you for the shout-out!

[@RickBrennan]

Love every time how you all get creative with the pregame pictures super fun. 🎉🎉

[@Guevon_Pajaro]

Omg the flavor of the bears deck, Blake you're awesome for building different decks like this. Such cute bears. And man overall a fire game again, wow! Cgb being flashy, shea with the BROKEN ivy deck, Ben playing all the painful draw bombs the other two control mages want, the draw pain lol

[@BovinaSancta79]

That was honestly one of the craziest turns I've ever seen! OMG. What a pain to keep track of all that xD

[@jamesmarshall8940]

This is the turn that never ends…

[@TheMagister]

Yer dating yourself, brother! (Yes it goes on and on my friends...)

[@TheFlazMan]

"Don't worry about provoking grizzly bears; they come that way" that flavor text still hits

[@ella6547]

If you Mutate a creature on top, then it isn't the bottom. This matters that you turned Precursor Golem into Auspicious Starrix, removing it from being a Golem. This causes Precusor's ability to remain BUT targetting it wont fire since it's no longer a Golem.

[@jimbo_slice18]

Correct. It melds the ability text but not the type line.

[@Failypso]

Shea’s at the wrong side of the table. My brain hurts now.

[@dbotsis]

Great game…nice the Shea’s deck go off and even better to see how triggered Blake gets with card draw! I have grown to love the ending where you say “You’re cool”. Very positive and affirming. Lovely.

[@jordanmartinez1003]

I just finished building my ivy deck last night!! Super excited to play it..

I'm just in the process of putting an Ivy mutate deck together. This was amazing!

I love this Ivy deck so much. If you want to have tons of fun with her, print a copy of every permanent that can get copied. Funnest boardstate ever.

The BEST POSSIBLE COMMANDER SHOW

[@adamgreen6051]

I'm pretty sure CGB had more draw steps to find a tutor since Shae had agreed not to attack him for two additional turns.

[@mayamayhemmusic]

Oh no. The mystery boosters. Oh no.

[@charlesnevsimal9235]

Love the show! And this was a fun game to watch. Just be careful when you film your Patreon shoutouts. It spoiled the ending for me when I noticed the life totals (-69 ... nice, CGB) and Shea's board state compared to CGB's. Maybe film them before the game rather than after? Or at least be sure to clear the frame of any possible tells. Nevertheless, keep up the great work! This has turned into my favorite piece of Magic content to watch every week. Your playgroup is so much fun. Much love to all of you.

[@rubencp93]

If I may criticise something: the Patreon shoutout should be done at the start or end of the video. The 'Ssssalutation' showed CGB's empty board, and Shea's overflowing. This pretty much told us CGB was out, and Shea was doing slightly okay. While yes, it didnt tell us how the game would end, it did show us an overwhelming board state, and an empty one; nothing about Ben or Blake but, in my opinion, it's a bit too much information. I'd still finish the video, as I did finish the Live Preview, but it's information I'd rather not have, if possible!

[@BlakeMTG]

Good point, noted!

[@chuggga]

@@BlakeMTG It did also show life totals in the middle (though I think CGB updated his in classic fashion).

[@BridgeBum]

@@BlakeMTG I think it would be fine doing the cut out style mid game, but record it before you start play to avoid the spoilers.

[@taylorbaron113]

I love your show. Reminds me of my playgroup. If any simic players want to try out my favorite card, its Master Biomancer. Its ability is really broken, especially in a counter/tribal deck. Im pretty sure a coat of arms in a hydra deck or something would be almost impossible to count the power levels with how the biomancer makes them into mutants

[@johncarey7786]

Did Ben pull the wrong deck for the commander he had or what??

[@michakrypczyk3517]

Not only sharks triggers were missed, but if precourser golem had a starrix on top, then it wasn't golem anymore and it didn't copy spells onto other golems :/

[@benjamintrottier2855]

Please don't open those boosters CGB. It's a scam. Paying 1100$ for 60 proxies is ludicrous

[@Richuardo]

Loved the game, always fun to see different decks go off. Windshaper Planetar, who knew?

[@adriandelarosa6502]

hrm... while i was watching this a second time i received delivery of my BRO collector box to open. I got a schematic Precursor Golem. :) fitting. Oh yes, and also #306/500 serialized schematic blackblade reforged.😀😀

[@IgorTheBear]

If Blake had any equipments, he could've excersised his right to arm bears... I'll see myself out.

[@BlakeMTG]

AYO THIS COMMENT ROCKS

[@MillerLikesSwords]

Missed the pun opportunity, could have described unnatural growth as "Bearoids"

[@MxODraconis]

Feedback on the mid-game patreon message, seeing that Shae had only cards left and the health score visible spoiled the outcome of the rest of the video. In the future if you need to do this, can you make the game outcome a little more of a mystery?

[@MrD31tY]

I want to know where this game store is, my wife and I try to travel to as many game stores in Michigan as possible.

[@youngnikos9625]

Google Lantern Games

[@masonharrell5711]

Also I already knew Shae won the game when they did the “mid game” shaes salutations cause she was the only one with her deck still sitting there 😂

[@portabletrap9416]

I think it would be pretty awesome to have HGG as a special guest on here! 😎😎

[@Kilawpilath]

Well done to Shae who BEARied her opponents.. with an unBEARable board state.

[@kurtmooreca]

Wow Shea's deck popped off, and no one remembered the poor Shoreshark, shed have been able to clear everyones boards and likely 1 turn ko-d three people. Crazy turn though just vomitted half her deck onto the board, what a banger.

[@Teurger]

COUNTERSPELL. Cost: 2 blue mana and 250 dollars. Cumulative upkeep: don't attack the owner for 1 turn to NOT cast it.

[@famousstranger8468]

He couldn't stop any of the spells dude shea still would of done the exact same plays and got all the spells

[@viniciuslorenzini7195]

Shea, that was a true Yu-Gi-Oh turn 1 you've had there at the end, congratulations.

[@ELFudgeOreos]

Given how many times Shea has just merced the guys at the table, could she be considered a femme fatale?

[@sparkfrog777]

47:30 the leap should have also hit the realm walker meaning an extra card draw, other than that this game was done really well rules wise

[@mightyone3737]

If you like everyone knowing about your Fog effects but don't want to run Meren or Muldrotha, you could just run Dawnstrider, it's a repeating Fog for any Green deck!

[@darangen]

During the Shea's salutations you could tell CGB got knocked out before he was in the game.

[@InternetGoSchool]

@cgb Could you please do a deck Tech video on the chromium edh deck you played lately on the command zone show? I really liked the way you brought flash controlle to edh. I checked out both the deck you played in this episode here as well as in the command zone show and noticed quite a number of chances. Not sure how long a go both recordings are and which of both deck versions you personally prepared to play better. Either way I would be really happy if you did spend a video to review your edh flash deck(s) in more detail.

[@johnaych8954]

poor Blake had the best possible hand with that deck and still got smashed in to the ground, lol.

[@iatebambismom]

Booster tutor is a fun idea!

[@FunnyFunFunTime]

[@masonharrell5711]

Shae was absolutely popping off with Ivy this game. That was getting insane towards the end of the game

[@FlowBerni]

Build an Ivy deck, it's actually just a mess to keep track of all the copies XD.. but sooo much fun!

[@gn0s1s]

Yeah i have a similar build to shea's with some infinites would spark double, but I worry about 10 minutes a turn of triggers if no one wipes me, feel like I might have to keep it to arena brawl, as so much time keeping track of the triggers and hard to convey to other players the correct board state, without pre making 10 copies of each card as proxies or bringing a stack of whiteboard cards...

[@SaraKkkkkkkk]

Can you change your life app to a simple one like LifeTap? I can't read the life totals... And LifeTap does commander damage a lot smoother.

[@sharpconfit]

sub'd. i was wondering where your commander show went, nice play-on-sounds for the new channel :)

[@koshney92]

Man seeing Shae beast mode MTG has been amazing to watch

[@devontufts1291]

My favourite deck and mechanic since playing MTGA has been mutate and Starrix my favourite card. But I've always been afraid to play it in paper because of its complexity due to the staggering amount of triggers. Comments am I missing something, when Starrix triggers it doesn't trigger mutate cards on top of mutate cards, they just enter the field. Same with enchantments. The way the standard deck worked is you would starrix onto a heron so that you drew cards and put lands on the field so that you could play a new mutate card from your hand. It wasn't automatic?

[@redeyeskev]

Please read and understand how mutate works. People need to know how a key mechanic of his/her deck works. All mutate abilities trigger every time the creature mutates.

[@KyleL-n1v]

Hey uhm I looked it up and as it turns out the token copies actually reset, they have the abilities of all the creatures that used to be on it but the next Mutate on the new token is at 1 no matter how many are on the OG

[@covertgoblue]

Opinions on the use of Magic30 packs?

[@kingofpretzels4910]

Even you can't save wotc's garbage

[@gazza4589]

It made me cringe. I get those packs were free, but I’m sure a majority of viewers didn’t care for them or wizards using you to promote them.

[@davidchapman7350]

Free advertising for one of WotC's worst possible decisions. I appreciate your content, and I also appreciate that you did not spend any money for the boosters, but thanks to the size of your fanbase, you utilizing those boosters on your show may convince others to buy this product to emulate you. This may convince WotC to release a similar product in the future, with the advertising done on the backs of popular MtG streamers / KZbinrs. Your opinion and content is important to a LOT of MtG Players, so please don't validate WotC's most unethical decisions even accidentally.

[@bouboulroz]

I think you should really refrain on promoting a product that embodies everything that is wrong with how WotC operates since Hasbro is at the helm. It's neither good for you nor the average consumer.

[@pleravens]

No. Just no. you should ignore the existence of those packs.

[@cryptidseal5951]

Pretty sure Shea payed for more mystic remora triggers than everyone in magic history combined. Always good to pay your taxes :D

Bearforce one is my favorite deck.. I am grizzly vet with the deck. Actually its what Im known for.. love how you can maul your opponents to death. I alo like to do tricks with kamahl especially when they board wipe and make thier lands into creatures or just use those to just feed the bears.

[@masemagic]

[@cjriddle534]

I don’t think Shae’s auspicious starrix would have been a golem due to the mutate making it have the creature type be an elk beast

[@TheMagister]

I could be wrong, but doesn't "mutate" specifically say that it keeps all previous types and gains the new types?

[@TheMagister]

Oop! Maybe I'm wrong! (Heading off to check)

[@TheMagister]

You're right! It BECOMES the creature on top, but it keeps the ABILITIES of the creatures on bottom. Well spotted!
