CGB you probably read comments like this all the time, but I really appreciate your willingness to provide entertainment. It can’t always be easy. I even like your sometimes corny, nerdy, over-the-top sense of humor. Thank you for being our spectral adversary (it was the only pun I could come up with on the fly) as the one in best of one. See you on the ladder.

[@janeblogs324]

I doubt he reads any. If he does then put standard/historic in the video title like you used to

[@stroodleboots5360]

@@janeblogs324 He liked that comment and he did put historic in the title.

I like this format. The "one win and out" twist makes it interesting. It keeps you, the creator, away from total boredom, and makes having more than one commander per episode feel smoother.

I WANT TO SEE A BILL THE PONY WIN

[@prinnyEXE]

Yes try to win with garbage XD

[@brandonsittler6145]

@@prinnyEXE Um...yeah. That's the entire point of the new series. Didn't you watch the intro?

[@olafthemoose9413]

Mono W butts with some food mixed in doesn't sound like the worst deck ever. Very very bad but not the worst.

[@brushwagg7735]

@@Mattress1996yeah but he’ll have to do a montage video or several of all his wins with garbage commanders or he will pay

[@the_r4ts]

@@Mattress1996 That meant not showing every game or just the wins for some commanders. We're still gonna see all the wins. We'll get our Bill game :)

[@redloopy]

CBG I don't believe I have ever commented on your videos though I have watched them for several years. Just wanted to say thanks for staying true to your authentic self and not trying to chase fame. As long as you continue to be involved here on YT I will gladly watch you for many years to come. Thank you for the entertainment, and I hope you always remember what got you into this... the love of the game.

[@johnnyreid7931]

The quest to win A game... interesting to see you bringing the content down to my level 😊

[@seandavis9657]

Is it just me or is the screen a little off this time. (it gets addressed) Also really excited for this series!

[@theresnosiknamesleft]

This is going to be way better than stale old standard until the new set releases! Great idea! This channel can be only historic brawl for 85 days lol - that sounds great.

[@undacoval3rotha]

I'm so excited for this series! I'm reading LOTR for the first time and also trying to get into historic brawl. This couldn't have come at a better time for me.

[@AngelIcaria169]

I'm so excited for more Historic Brawl and seeing all the new LOTR commanders! Thank you for putting so much effort into keeping Magic fresh on your channel!

[@GrandSekiza]

Watched on stream and I'm watching them again cause the games were just so ridiculously fun.

[@gillgillgillgillgill]

i LOVE this challenge idea...genuinely want to see this for every set going forward

[@dustinburns4550]

Yes please !!! More cgb content in this format ......... I needs more of my precious !!!!

[@cryptidseal5951]

Yeeees! I love your Brawl videos! I'm SO watching every single one these all the way through! Your're the best, keep it up

[@covertgoblue]

Thanks! Will do!

[@kieranlavelle7182]

Ngl this makes me much more interested in watching historic brawl. Thanks for always trying to keep things fresh!

[@GreenHavoc]

YES! A lofty and fun goal of using so many commanders! Great learning opportunity.

[@marlowcowan5343]

This is great! Love the idea for the new series, often self imposed constraints create the most interesting decks and moments.

[@JadamH]

As someone who started playing Magic way back and then took a long hiatus, now getting into Arena and seeing all the possibilities in Historic Brawl in your videos, I really appreciate your content. The theme with the current LotR release is really fun too. Keep it up!

[@danielpress6152]

Thank you. So much flavor and fun. Feels like 110% CGB. This series is going to be up there with the best (169,420 and the Crokeyz showdown)

[@randomness5435]

What a fun series, really looking forward to seeing some of the less common commanders

[@mrreinerg1945]

Love the idea, props to you for always finding smart ways to keep content fresh and entertaining. You're cool Cheers from France

[@FiddyStump-tn6kk]

I am VERY interested in this series. 100% watching and liking and commenting on all of the videos!

[@Niconietaaa]

The day Covert go blue, became mono black magic.... Great series coming!!

[@ptp1999]

This is an amazing idea. Good luck with the builds, can't wait to see them all.

[@retixis]

This challenge idea is awesome, I would tweak the rules though so that scoops dont count at all unless the deck reaches 5 scoops in a row and then it bypasses the rule.

[@sizaak]

Eh idk in arena people so often scoop right before it ends when their loss is guaranteed so that feels unnecessary

[@lonelongboarder27]

Just me or is part of the screen cut off?

[@lonelongboarder27]

Only the first game.

[@marc-andre2929]

The video is so smooth with the new computer thank you for upgrading!!!

[@beaudge1]

Amazing personal challenge! Go Go CGB! Never didn't have it!

[@1984kylea]

I love the idea of you doing this, it's something interesting for the community to follow and to root for you (or against you as it may be).

[@NT-lh8br]

Great idea for a series! Can't wait to watch them all.

[@patrickoconnell9387]

In the rules for "protection", it says that damage from the source is prevented. That wording is what allows questing beast to deal damage through protection.

[@veronicacarvalho1382]

You're the best CGB, keep the great work!!

[@DnDBreakfastClub]

I feel like you missed the opportunity to name this series 'Ward of the Lord of the Rings'

[@MalaysianGov]

Love this idea! Looking forward to some really fun decks and videos

[@alexandermalskaer8369]

Yay CGB plays magic in a new way. I like that you find a way to keep having fun when standard is boring. Awesome stuff

[@Rana__]

Super excited for this series, Historic Brawl is my next favorite after Drafts, so I love seeing more content on it

[@elegantcommonsense]

Awesome series idea! Excited for this cool new flavorful MTG Arena content. Hope you have fun making these brodie ✌

[@jdoom1345]

Dang, this is ambitious! I love it and I don't even play HB.

[@TheStanishStudios]

I’ve been playing the Lotho deck since this video and… it’s surprisingly good against Atraxa and Etali!

[@StevenLong]

What a fun idea and well executed right out of the gate!

[@oncrn4673]

Congrats… you found a way to make me enjoy the commander content… 👏

[@paulhumphreys8518]

Would love to see you do this but with every commander in arena 😃

[@IzzetNilson]

I like this show idea a lot actually. Showcases cards that maybe nobody would consider playing. Looking forward to future episodes!

[@MsJbird2]

Loved this!! This series will be a lot of fun!

[@alicesaxon601]

Oh also i like that you kept playing lotho after you won twice with him. I was going to say, if you have fun with a deck play as many games as you want with it. I think I speak for almost everyone when I say we are just happy to see you play some HB haha though I am excited to see your lotr commanders as you progress down the list! Yeah some will seem lackluster but most are pretty damn fun

[@MALane-ox2rx]

I LOVE this challenge series! 3 things: 1) this announcement of the series needs its own short video 2) 🎶Montaaage! This series needs a Montaaage!🎶 2b) or multiple montages. . . Fail montages culminating in finally getting the required win could be funny/sweet 3) KZbin videos feature footage from at least 3 games per deck? Too many of these commanders will be too cool to just see ya get your win and call it done

[@Grand_Admiral]

Very excited for the new series.... and completely stunned that there are 85 freakin' new Commanders in the set.

[@Kaceus.]

I’m so looking forward to the whole of this series love some historic brawl

[@thrawncaedusl717]

Do this for every set please!

[@morsmagne]

As CGB says, there's 85 of them and I'm sure he's right when he suggests some of them could be a bit boring. It would be a pity to bury the interesting ones in a sea of boring ones.

[@AspiringS37]

Super hype for this, thank you for the great content always!

[@Bluji]

Is it just me or is the video cropped incorrectly? You can barely see CGB's hand and the card animations go off the right edge.

[@kebo4660]

"CGB LOTR Historic Brawl in a Bottle!"..."Brilliant!"

[@QuadSevens1]

Awesome series. I can't wait. For the cards that aren't worth there own video you should have roll-up video that just shows their one win.

[@madprops4615]

CovertGoBrawl. As a long time standard fan, you have single handedly convinced me that brawl/commander is more fun and entertaining. To the point that I just spent 1400 bucks on a paper commander deck 🙃 it might sound like alot but I've spent more than that trying to keep my standard decks current.

[@mattipaarni8594]

Looking forward to this. Should be fun!

[@colejohnson2366]

Really enjoy your content. Please keep it home slice !!

[@DanoLefourbe]

Love the format! Nice spin on HB content.

[@kingkoopa9689]

Hey dude, your awesome. Thanks for the consistent entertainment.

[@aderoninone3244]

It's good to see a theme. You should continue that so you have something when you don't have anything else. Hopefully, you'll make an intro to this. Maybe a catchy song or just LOTResque music with cards with your face on them. Look forward to watching this.

[@baring9152]

Play the stuff you want to play. That's what makes it interesting.

[@HarryPotterFan1307]

Love this idea! Def love commander more than standard anyways!

[@mtreleaven]

Love the series. We want all 85! Shout out to CGCrew and CGGina for going all in on the LOtR shenanigans

[@benrichard452]

IM REDY. Awesome series idea. Killing it cgb

[@shogunmoon]

Hell yea!! Bring forth the JANK!!

[@fishieshavenoeyes]

Great idea for a series, hope you discover some new surprise meta decks

[@gerudo4sale861]

I, for one, would like 85 days of historic brawl. Down with standard

[@Sogssmusic]

Lmao at you bullying the kethis player, bro was probably fuming after that game

[@alicesaxon601]

Lol CGB: “Kethis the Hidden Hand is our opponent!” Also CGB: “Turn one inquisition of Kozilek to reveal the opponents hand!”

[@quicksilver7947]

Liked and commenting to boost this. I love this idea!

[@jamesscott1888]

Nice, bonus win challenges are tight

[@EmilSua133]

I love the new content! Cant wait to watch the journey unfold, especially some of the janky commanders

[@Rhystic_Buddy]

I am SO here for this

[@franklopez6159]

im SOO EXCITED for this series

[@xXYourShadowDaniXx]

When you get to Mouth of Sauron, your rule should be "I can only count MILL wins" 😁

[@danlayne9436]

I'm really interested in your take on Gandalf, Friend of the Shire. I've been working on one and it works fairly well.

[@matthewodea7550]

I predict Faramir, Prince of Ithilien will be CGB's favourite LOTR commander

[@olive_schilde]

Are you going to make a 85 lord of lord of the ring supercut?

[@mRboylls]

I love this series and I would love for you to attempt something like this for every set!

[@charleygordonFFA]

85 commanders, wow I had no idea there were that many

[@joshuajinsu2559]

Start placing bets for which legendary is gonna surprise us to the most???

[@nickna7387]

Hes right about the questing beast, i was wondering how i killed somebody when they had protection from everything

[@rafaelpardinifariabastos4545]

Probably with something that doesn't target

[@maxt5634]

Love this idea for a series

[@brushwagg7735]

oh no what are you doing and why am I so psyched

[@jrlonergan6773]

This is a brilliant idea keep it up

[@cubnad]

Love histroic brawl and really enjoying the LOTR set. Got me back playing after taking a few months off.

[@l33tminion]

30:30 "It's not unrealistic that I activate the [owned by opponent] Vorinclex with treasures" - Doesn't work the way you'd probably want it to in that situation!

[@HarbourmasterJay]

looking forward to some LTR constructed content, even though its only historic brawl

[@Gears-rb2ox]

GOOD GOLLY MS. MOLLY, that’s me in game 1. I wonder who will win this game?!

[@Gears-rb2ox]

…I was clowned on :(

[@Gears-rb2ox]

Actually wrong resolution meant that game didn’t count, get rekt CGB! :)

[@baelxerina]

Was watching on my phone and closed the app thinking my app wasn't working right meanwhile your just on wrong resolution 😂😂

[@Hitzel]

I am so down for this.

[@Soy309]

I am here for this!

[@lakashii]

Is the crop wrong or are my tv settings wrong? I can't see the whole screen on Xbox. Right and bottom are cut off. But I love the series!... And I just to the point where you commented on it... CGB is the best!

[@lukebloom7848]

Waiting for the day when CGB steals a preator and tries to flip it only to give it back to the opponent

[@tommygol15br]

Yes, this is at least the 3rd time he intended to do it :D

[@benjaminladd]

MTG Arena Original Decks has done it at least once with sheoldred. 😂 but we all know he doesn't read cards, so it's not a surprise.

[@yomommashaus]

So at some point your name will be behind a Bill the Pony deck and you just know your opp is going to be the bridge

[@jacknelson8640]

Really like this idea ! Love to watch brawl 😁😁😁

[@maurokoller3910]

I love your videos. Its always the last thing Ido each day. Keep it up :) 1

[@MagicGreenSquid]

Love this idea!

[@marchnm]

i love this idea, and we need a queue just for this. make it happen wotc!

[@ejaliifua1s]

I saved my comment about the resolution cuz I knew it would be discussed later. And it sure was lol

[@MrDetroitRepresent]

Love the LOTR Historic Brawl series idea! Can you PLEASE make a video for Bill the Pony? I can’t stop laughing at that card and it’s one of the 85 😂😂😂 Ps: also from Michigan. GO BLUE!!

[@cameronneveu7277]

I would be interesting in you paired the same characters in videos (IE: Eomer of the Riddermark and Eomer, Marshal of Rohan) That way it would be interesting to see how they play differently
