CGB: "If you're really me, go fetch your tundra" blake: comtemplates life

[@gardnering]

I thought it was kind of a jerk move from CGB

[@davidwitt5585]

@@gardnering you're substantially too sensitive then. Close friends should absolutely make playful comments that "cut deep"

[@frosty980]

@@davidwitt5585 “too sensitive” is relative, different people have different dynamics to their relationships. “HAH you’re poor” is fine between some people but not others

[@davidwitt5585]

@@frosty980 so it's then safe to assume that it's fine between them and not something you would say to your friends. 🤷

[@gardnering]

​@@davidwitt5585 I made the comment because I don't think it was playful. CGB was flexing on the guy he continually targets and shows disdain for. I think that CGB and Blake are frenemies, rather than friends, with the friend/enemy ratio hard to calculate without seeing them in other contexts. There's definitely tension between them. What I think happened is Blake was occupying the spot in the show that CGB usually takes, and CGB felt "threatened". So CGB was used his wealth as a blunt instrument to win social capital. If the comment had seemed playful or their relationship seemed strong, I might agree with you.

[@Neuzel1]

Just some clarification on Archon of Coronation. It is kind of weird since you still lose monarch if a creature hits you. All damage is still dealt, it just doesnt cause you to lose life. So things like commander damage and lifelink would still apply as well.

[@sjmurkrow]

Doesn't having a single first-strike creature also cancel it out?

[@Neuzel1]

@@sjmurkrow It does since monarch changes hands immediately after you take combat damage.

On tonight’s show: CGB and Shea clash in a fierce battle for the monarchy even as Ben’s elementals invade the kingdom, causing the very earth to turn against them… Meanwhile, in his secret lab, the mad scientist Blake cackles as his evil plan to take over the world with an infinite army of ornithopters is finally coming to fruition…

[@hcpwnography6157]

I just want to congratulate CGB for the amazing victory. There was just something about him this episode that seemed... different. I don't know if it was his dashing good looks or the way he let his opponents tower over him to create a false sense of superiority. Well played.

[@albino_penguin2268]

I was listening to the first part of the video instead of watching and didn't click to the switch until they called it out.

[@robertkincanon3526]

That heart of the cards pick for sword of the meek to establish the combo was EPIC! Go Blake, and good for you for going for the combo in the face of bluffs to take the game, you deserve it mono blue value engine player, you are my spirit animal!!

[@benmerkin3202]

It would be really fun if you guys all chose the same commander one game but built the decks completely differently

[@AutkastKain]

I love how Blake embodied one of CGB's philosophies, which is patience as a wincon. All the prep and planning paid huge dividends at the end. Congrats!

[@ShatnersProdigy]

That sword of the meek flip was the coldest thing I get saw holy cow

[@drandrew8392]

The amount of counterspells played by Blake honestly warms my heart. Great show guys!

[@Guevon_Pajaro]

Holy crap. What a wild one!!! Shit, all four decks were awesome and swung in power at certain points of the game. Love it. Best commander games on the KZbin.

[@MrMaxel3]

Ben's <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="3392">56:32</a> "I understand the last turn's conversation" moment is so pure 💗

[@Forvesss]

Yeaaah! Well done Blake! I loved that you got to do the thing and swing through for the win this time. Previously every time you popped off you would die because you made yourself a threat. I feel like these last few games of playing low threat decks was all part of your elaborate plan to lull everyone into a false sense of security. Hahaha.

[@MadcookieBG]

Glad to see there is justice in the world. People talk about lucky top decks but Blake derailed the chugging value train (magpie, ooze, soulherder) with the (basically) double board wipe by himself and got hit for 22 trample damage as a thank you. In the end all this made his comeback *infinitely* more satisfying.

[@Ten30FourProductions]

See your blue mage humbled by my power!! Good for you Blake, the intro was hilarious and I'm always rooting for you 🤣😎

[@tezeech]

Congrats on CGB winning that game, Combo Go Blake. What a showing

[@jimmoore7712]

way to spoil it.....

[@1bluedot455]

Gotta say i love these commander game videos, favourite part when Blake basically came back from the grave.

[@patrickklenk6313]

Blake, you missed a great Blake pun with Shae when you ko'ed her: Queen Mar-Shae-sa has been dethroned!

[@markbrown2291]

CGBlake. Dude that intro was 🔥. This is your show now.

“If you’re really me go get my tundra” -Blake cries internally

[@YahMum69]

LETS GOO BLAKE!! i got to see BEN POP OFF AND THEN BLAKE TOP DECK was blessed by god! And pulled it back! This video was so satisfying I’m so happy.

[@bryanholdren9043]

Pretty sure CGB played the soulherder lagrella interaction wrong. At the beginning of end step soulherder triggers. Targeting lagrella goes on the stack. Pass priority. Soulherders triggered ability resolves "blinking" lagrella. During the resolution of a spell or an ability no other abilities/spells will be put on the stack. Lagrella enters the battlefield as a brand new permanent. TRIGGERS! Now it's either last known information or a delayed trigger or both that causes Lagrella's leave the battlefield ability to trigger. IDK. So we have soulherder's "whenever" +1+1 ability trigger, old lagrella's "leave the battlefield" ability, AND new-to-the-battlefeild lagrella's ETB ability to trigger. New legrella must put legal targets for her new ETB ability on to the stack before any of these 3 triggers can begin to resolve. None of the creatures exiled with old lagrella are legal targets because they are in exile not the battlefield. TL;DL soulherder can't exile a creature, let a bunch of triggers to resolve, and then allow the blinked creature to return to the battlefield. Let me know what you think. Always I appreciate the content.

[@HalcyonVentures]

Yeah you're right - it's also the same thing as the interaction with Clever Impersonator later on - because the ability must declare targets at the point it's put on the stack, you can't re-exile the same creatures that were previously exiled with Lagrella when she's flickered

[@Richuardo]

Well that was super entertaining. Great game to everyone. The singing was actually pretty impressive! I keep finding myself wanting to play Blake’s decks, so keep it up. Win or lose, Blake, still fun to watch! It was about Tymn-ya got another one, dad joke buddy, haha!

[@evanpeabody6351]

When you see a Tymna as a commander you know there is going to be something serious in that deck, GG new CGB

[@notrkm]

Blake has got to play some sort of lantern control deck with a ton of topdeck manipulation on the show, with all the nuts topdecks he has it'd be so funny.

[@Knuhben]

Oh my god?! CGB?! You seem so unbelievably charismatic this episode! No homo, but you sure delivered this time!

[@bensantos7361]

Cgb’s deck is just a bant version of his Yorion deck lmao

[@uglynakedguy09]

I liked that how everyone was a threat at some point and all of it went into the bin when sword of the meek appears

[@callmeinfidel8370]

Blake: I have won by my force of will alone!!!! And 9 million god damn thopters.

[@ikestoddard2458]

9 million? Wow! A new record! Congratulations, Blake!

[@TheAkhentan]

so what happend in the CGBs turn @ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2692">44:52</a> that got cut? I guess he played his copy guy to get monarch and afterwards played the titan and put a shield counter on it and destroyed the banner with the other trigger from the titan?

[@brankoseric5408]

Nice, finally Blake got a nice one, gratz :D :D :D or should i say CGBlake, if you cant beat then join them i guess 😂 Thou mayor respect to Ben and his choices of shirts for every episode, had to pause on multiple occasions on this one to catch the whole text 😂

[@brankoseric5408]

P. S. Missed the legend of zelda hat :/

Would have been funnier if Blake would have introduced you as "This is Dan, he's new".

😲 does this mean I'm a Weiner? 🏆

[@mnmotivation2949]

Congrats on the excellent win, Blake. A victory worthy of Cthulhu himself. (My favorite deck is sai, master thopterist 🤪)

[@SickOfItAll1988]

Just loved the beginning. I thought maybe CGB was travelling and thats why you made this bit & there was someone new in Blakes seat for the game - then I realised that you just where doing this randomly and CGB just swapped seats. Got me giggling ngl

[@jarednobles3056]

Ngl, Blake really pulled off that dojo look 😎⛩

[@BlakeMTG]

Hey thanks 😏

[@DevTheo1]

Blake, you did great job as a CGB replacement and then ultimately did the CGB thing to win!

[@mallemout]

Awesome episode and nice to see Blake has finally managed to get peace in our time......... by skillfully eliminating ALL opposition 😏

[@mattflwr]

I had a doubt on Blake's combo with Foundry+Altar+Sword, 'cause it seemed to me that you couldn't get infinite thopter this way, but you could get infinite colorless mana. I looked up the combo and it was that way: you get infinite colorless, infinite ETB/LTB, infinite lifegain and deaths' trigger. Still, congrats Blake for your winning :)

[@tau.r.u]

It does though: one mana for the first sac of Sword of the Meek. Create 1 thopter. Return the sword to it. Sac the Thopter for two mana. You now have two instances of that first cycle, so you end up with two thopters. Sac one of those, repeat for another two instances of the first cycle. The entirety of the cycle nets 1 thopter (and 2 life, if you wanted to nitpick, Blake should have had 18 mil life) The mana doesn't go infinite in this loop. However, going infinite with the thopters first does obviously get you infinite colorless mana.

[@andrespestchanker3443]

That top deck sword of the meek by "CGB" was so good!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rossmiller1443]

Sick that you went off with the Hunter x Hunter shirt on. Gon and Kilua would be proud. Your nen was on point today Sir Blake.

[@davidchapman7350]

Go CGBlake! You're awesome. That headband looks so much better on you than that impostor pretending to be you in all the other videos

[@matt21643]

[@davidwitt5585]

I also experience a tad bit of sadness when Shea isn't playing green. Means the game isn't inevitably going to end in a Craterhoof smork as a wincon.

[@TerraThatShitUp]

I liked this Vid just for Blake's intro xD

[@christopherthomas3151]

Here's to the algorithm, I enjoy the content.

[@JRosen99]

I was staring at Blake's combo for awhile, instead of making infinite thopters, couldn't it make infinite mana? Maybe I misunderstood, but @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2960">49:20</a> Blake says you can't make infinite mana, but I feel like if instead of making the second thopter you just sacced the first thopter to the alter you would end up +1 mana. To me, it seems each cycle can net you either 1 colorless mana and 1 life, or 1 thopter and 2 life

[@ApacheStoryteller]

Personally, I found the duets marvelous, and thee highlight of the game for me(unless inkshield had resolved)

[@Tommaco92]

I implore Blake to play Divine Intervention and bring back “peace in our time”

[@loganq4521]

The true CGB would pull Sword of the Meek right off the top…and he did.

[@DaveGman15]

Cgb wouldn't have kept the endurance creature after evoking it...it gets sacrificed immediately to evoke

Oh, CG Blake, mage of mages, Congratulations on doing the most damage in any single match, beating the, in hindsight, pitiful record set by Shea.

[@GummyBear0O432]
