[@shaylic3795]

As Yugi would say, “My Grandpa’s deck has no pathetic cards Kaiba.” CGB being the wizard grandpa in this case.

[@SpinoCarchaOrnito95]

"And then threw Ben in the volcano" Lmao

[@yomommashaus]

So Gina and some other rando as Gollum were obsessed and fighting over Ben, ending in Ben's and the rando's deaths to the sounds of merriment

[@consolescrub4031]

Excellent example of playing to your outs. I think the most damage done in the video was at roughly 38:25 where lethal was dealt to Blake's pride and accomplishments.

[@SomewhereInMiddleEarth]

34:55 Auras have a timestamp when they enchant a permanent. With that in mind, when you remove the aura, the enchanted permanent keeps the last informations it had, so if you had Frodo upgraded, then he keeps all the upgrades. Good game nontheless.

[@BlakeMTG]

Thank you for the information! This was my guess but I couldn't say for sure

[@josephlck]

Intuitively, that makes sense. Frodo's ability is Frodo is a... while Kenrith's transformation is Frodo is am elk. Neither of those things makes a new Fordo (he doesn't get summoning sickness again for example). Once Frodo is no longer an elk, he's still whatever he was before elkhood.

[@hellproof2379]

@@josephlckyeah but my thought was since it “loses all abilities” might reset it. Makes sense about answer though

[@therealax6]

@@hellproof2379 The rest of the continuous effects don't disappear! It's just that the "loses all abilities" effect overwrites them. As soon as that effect ends (because the Transformation is removed), the remaining effects apply once again. (In fact, they never stop applying; it's just that they're overwritten by the Transformation, because the Transformation entered later and they're all in the same layer.)

[@hellproof2379]

@@therealax6 makes sense ! Also why I love this game. Easy to play .. hard to master lol

[@fbinimelis]

Frodo succeeded where Emrakul failed, getting over 15+ squirrels

[@stevenfranklin1124]

SPOILERS: This is my favorite commander game ever! Surviving against an infintite combo for 2-3 turns and winning with just ONE life you got by Swords-ing yourself? Amazing! Great job, Gina! You do White proud!

[@bensantos7361]

Gotta love Fanghorn's secret weapon in the war, "googol of squirrels"

[@IzzetNilson]

The Ents marched so that the googol can run.

[@Guevon_Pajaro]

amazing! the perseverance and playing to outs. wow. so happy to have gina on again, and the editing and the swap out were awesome. And you gotta love the LOTR theming! lol and CGB and gina, yall are so cute together!

[@nobelphoenix]

This is the only EDH content I'm watching, I've tried a bunch throughout the years but none other is as fun as this one and I still get to see some amazing gameplay and cool combos while being entertained. I love how you balance it so good. Keep up the great work CovertGoCrew!

[@Jesterofyugi]

Really not even Commander Vs?

[@BlakeMTG]

CGB made it impossible to keep a straight face in the intro….

[@Sir_Master]

A wizard is never overacting, nor is he underacting. He yells precisely when he needs to.

[@ervinp4550]

Really enjoyed the whole episode, Gina is a great break of pace to CGB's shenanigans.

[@Xgya2000]

Always up for a Gina episode. Playing to your outs while believing in the heart of the cards. Awesome game.

[@bouboulroz]

The tragedy is that if Ben had kept his Triumph instead of using it against Blake and Shae, he would have won, since the Golden Throne doesn't remove poison counters and you still die after it changes your life to 1. On the other hand, it's hard not to kill Shae with Triumph when the opportunity presents itself.

[@acdvfb]

Yeah, I wasn't too sure what his goal was there. Made for a good episode, but gotta save the overkill cards for the moments that will end the game.

[@veeclash4157]

wow that's a great point! yeah i don't know why he used the Triumph since they were both dead regardless. But Ben represents the timmy gamer, he doesn't think too hard, just goes for the cool play. Although amassing a Google of squirrels is pretty impressive play! It still wasn't enough to win him the game! Besides Frodo winning the game after being tempted is such a HUGE epic moment that we love to see!

[@Kino280]

It's pretty on point that the archenemy dies due to huberus

[@acdvfb]

@@veeclash4157 Yep, it's been fun seeing a few games from various creators where Frodo in some form or another finds a way to win it!

[@sh4dow666]

Wasn't it also a straight mistake not blocking the Frodo with Googol/4 squirrels? Or at least 10^10?

[@slysi84]

Amazing game. The sequencing and cards just played out perfectly for Gina. Using swords to gain two life to survive the one ring and then draw into everything she needed to pull that off was beyond epic.

[@arturovargas3847]

SUCH A FLAVOR WIN!!! AMAZING [[SPOILERS AHEAD]] . . . frodo being able to be the small guy, against THE biggest army of all time, passing through some kind of secret passage and dealing the killing blow through means of the ring. FLAVOR WIN

[@gregwylie3970]

Absolutely epic game. I swear every time Gina guest stars she absolutely crushes, and I love it so much. This truly is the best show, you guys rule.

[@privettk]

Oh my gosh loved that game lol. This group is such a blast!

[@WrightJustice1991]

Great game with amazing twists!

[@wesrouse2599]

😮😮😮😮😮😮 Absolutely the best episode so far!!

[@anonymouse8124]

The original underdog, pulling it off thanks to the One Ring... best game ever. Loved the googol of squirrels, too.

[@hotdachsbun]

Gandalf CGB is the best version of CGB ever. He should always be that way. Great video

[@veeclash4157]

Frodo, the HERO we needed! He triumphed over the endless hordes of Squirrels! Long may his legend endure. Although he was sorely tempted by the ring, he climbed Mount Doom and delivered our salvation and Gina's victory!

[@c1dv1c1ous]

Great game from a great crew!

[@bortle]

the best possible notification on a sunday afternoon :) cheers to ben, blake, shea, and the One, in BEST. OF. ONE.

[@scottricks1676]

Oh wow that turn of events! Felt very cannon!

[@dojodean]

Hilarious as always, I love these shows!

[@henriclaystudio5637]

This was the greatest and coolest commandder game i've ever seen... Congratulations GINA!

[@josephdillard2648]

The best part of this channel has to be cgbs gandelf yelling at other people!!!🤣🤣

[@lenardEkko]

14:01 no you won't Ben Nissa says "non-creature land" so dryad arbor is not a valid target

[@bouboulroz]

And even if it was, it would still be a 3/3 and not a 4/4, as Nissa would apply a continuous effect changing its base stats to 0/0.

[@zimba00]

And the lose 2 lands to Toxic Deluge, kicking him out of the game

[@dbotsis]

Brilliant game. Love Covert Go Gina when she plays. Great energy

[@juangabrielcarrascomogrove5054]

nice game!...interesting twist of events!

[@fablerh2476]

I didn’t know this was a survival show :D thanks for this great game, I think that was my favorite episode of this year. If not ever ^^

[@MrCrazycarlwinter]

That was a very insane game, well titled!

[@atticusdanielson7198]

Such a crazy finish!!

[@CosmicIceCream]

What an amazing game. So cool that both Ben and Gina put together their wincons...what happens when an unstoppable object meets an irresistible force?

[@nijian32]

That was friggin epic.

[@ella6547]

This win... was oliphauntastic!

[@classicclipsF_TV]

That was awesome!

[@Jjdude101]

Holy crap I didn't expect that outcome lol. Great game.

[@nightbane727]

im not gonna lie the intro had the perfect opportunity for ben to make a secret squirrel joke lol

[@washada]

Gandalf-CGB leaving the party for no reason is unironically the most in-character thing he could have done as part of his costume.

[@coreyburton8]

THAT WAS AN EPIC ADVENTURE!!!

[@akindlyorc]

that game was nuts

[@ericap1098]

Amazing game!

[@Xmies23]

For once an EPIC SHOWDOWN!

[@Silenceaverted]

What a game! I’d like to imagine those squirrels escaped the volcano their tree home was plummeted into

[@IzzetNilson]

I really do love seeing Gina come on for a game. I really want to see if there'll be a two-headed giant game where both Gina and Shea are on the same team and they both run the go wide token strats deck and see what happens.

[@djrmarketing598]

This is a great example of why scooping to a massive board isn't always the best play unless you're absolutely sure it's over.

[@yomommashaus]

Wow. The One Ring continues to be stronger and stronger every time I see it... Amazing game!

[@froggystrap1232]

This game is amazing !!!

[@MrYzan]

I thought a meathook massacre would come out, gain those google of life.

[@williamwalton9154]

I keep a Massacre Worm and Massacre Girl in my black decks for just such occasions.

[@gabehaskell5468]

If you watch Return of the King Extended Extended version you'll see the battle of the googol squirrels, beautiful canon win Gina

[@Itjustgotserious]

I am pretty sure once kenriths transformation was destroyed frodo would have regained all the ring bearer abilities since frodo never stopped being the ring bearer

[@carloromero5871]

I’m still laughing, what a great game!

[@poopitypoopoppopoop]

This is a magnificent friggn end of a game

[@justblay2125]

see two vids in a row featuring the Lotr Cosplay, should continue this for every vid now on

[@matheuscamargo652]

OMG! That taught me: just trust your deck!

[@jamesgasik3424]

If you die due to lethal damage, Golden Throne will save you. But if you have 10 or more poison counters, you still die as a state based effect.

[@silvioluizcastelhanofirmin8112]

But Triumph of The hordes was played one turn before The throne effect, when she had protection from everything due to The one ring

[@Mimz670]

I've low key always wanted to see someone play the Wed commander, as pricey as it is to play

[@JavierOrtizBultron]

This certainly happens when you have a deck full of your best cards

[@Slamstarproductions]

"that's nuts" lol

[@dwelsh226]

so cool

[@MrMcPwn0]

That was a good ending.

[@NeverHatred]

that was Crazy ... feels like watching Jaden or yugi in yugioh

[@SeanLarsDogma]

Aww. I wanted the squirrels to win.

[@ryanmann5497]

Those very first mills are a perfect example of just why people dislike playing against mill so much. It isn’t so much that mill is particularly good and more that it just stops you from being able to play your deck the way you want to…. I personally would ALMOST rather my spells just get countered 😅

[@redcapered6115]

Ben did his worst possible and still lost LMAO

[@m1xxx3r]

The Emperor protects.

[@Kilawpilath]

That was just insane.. GJ Gina for surviving long enough to pull off a sick win. And hey.. See... White/Black isn't so bad.. Not as good as Red/Green of course.. but It has it's moments :D

[@jeffkuykendall3189]

Missed a golden opportunity with the Boo part on the deluge.. Boooo! " your boos mean nothing I've seen what makes your cheer. Hahahahah

Queen Gina 👑

[@Ramschat]

That many squirrels would immediately collapse into a black hole

[@timewizardking]

I believe the decklist is incorrect for Frodo. Unless it was not meant to be shared.

[@christopherpope7977]

I know its all for good fun and was a great episode but when Ben swung out why didn't he attack Gina too he had lethal on everyone. Am I missing something?

[@terriblenorwegiangaming547]

She had protection from everything. From the one ring etb

[@veeclash4157]

Gina had Protection from Everything because of the One Ring she played the previous turn.

Since Ben put the +1/+1 counter on his commander, wouldn't he have a google plus one squirrel?

Too late now because this video is the past but nissa who shakes the world only puts counters on a land that is not already a creature

[@RoninSTi]

Amazing game, amazing banter. Keep it up guys, you're absolutely crushing it. Nothing against CGB or any of the rest of the crew, but more Gina please.

[@pikachufantastic]

Actually the guy with all the infect squirrels should have won on the infect squirrels given the protection dosent stop Infect

[@davida8035]

A creature with infect deals damage to creatures in the form of -1/-1 counters and players in the form of poison counters (from infect rule text). Ring ETB gives protection from everything... lets say creatures specifically in this case... then Creatures don't deal damage to her and so she doesn't get the poison counters. so no infect loss

[@gunnarmiller5467]

Blink if cgb held you all at gunpoint for this😂
