THE WORST POSSIBLE Commander Show #2 | Zacama | Muldrotha | Beckett Brass | Sidisi | Paper MTG

[@benjaminlaubach8482]

One of my favorite things about this adaptation is the rule zero. Often times on youtube, you'll see people be dishonest leading to some very uneven games. The conversation regarding "worst possible thing that can happen in a deck" really puts into perspective what to anticipate. BRING MORE PAPER MAGIC!!! Great series so far

[@daftwulli6145]

I think the actual probelm is more the unpredictability of commander due to it having 99 different cards in the deck. Some games you will go off and do amazing things you did not even realize your deck can do, and some games you will do jack shit

[@brodericksiz625]

@@daftwulli6145 That's honestly what I think is great about commander. I love tcgs, but the one thing that always made me feel disappointed about them is how, for all the variety of effects and cool flavour decks you could make, in most formats you're just going to build what's most mathematically effective, not necessarily what's most fun and definitely not the coolest flavour, and usually only a handful of decks fit that mould. Commander having 99 different cards in deck and operating with a different mentality compared with other formats makes it so that you will see wild things happen, and cool decks that aren't necessarily the best most optimal thing you could be doing. This means that some of the time you don't get to do much, but I think that that's just a price for having a much more fun format than most competitive formats

Every time the camera focuses on Shea, you can see Blake in the background desperately trying to look anywhere except the camera or Shea’s clearly visible hand

So I'm 4 minutes in and already hyped, I love Admiral Beckett Brass as a thematic commander and the guy who is playing her leaning into the theme is awesome!

[@joshualawrence3437]

How do you have the best arena channel and now the best commander show?? Incredible

[@flurkoneko1671]

Just heard the expression "Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic" for the first time today. Was a good laugh

[@ajohn4633]

Not to trash other channels, but Spelltable just can't compete with the production value of your show. Great content and great cast, keep it up!

[@daltooinewestwood6380]

Game knights is a pretty good commander show too, but they do a lot more shilling for WOTC and online singles/paraphernalia markets

[@CosmicIceCream]

First time commenting, just wanted to say - this game was highly entertaining. CGB's deck is wicked strong, he seemed to have an answer for almost everything, and blowing away 2 opponents at once to win was pure poetic justice!

[@williamwalton9154]

I think I'm liking the same cast and grudges from pervious rounds/games. More of the full multi-player experience.

[@bear_6875]

This is a great show. Really loving this addition to the channel. Great group, great games, great vibes. Also really appreciate all the explanation of what's happening and what could happen. As a new ish commander player I'm not familiar with all these cards and combos yet. Thanks so much for the content!

Oh wow just came across this and man, am I glad. Solid production value, and made better by it really having that kitchen table fun friends feel. Looking forward to more.

The Jurassic Park quotes made my day. I spent 15 hours managing a restaurant today, so thank you for giving me the best way to wind down. Looking forward to the next episode!

[@_s769_]

The first time Blake built a deck for someone else (on this channel) was MTG NerdGirl's "vampire" deck. This time, we had Shea's "dinosaur" deck... Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we have finally found the person who made MTG Arena's *completely fair and balanced* shuffler. Jokes aside, this was a really fun game to watch with every turn bringing in a new twist. Looking forward to more commander content on the channel!

[@BlakeMTG]

I also built the golgari life gain deck from last week so sometimes the decks do the thing 😂

[@matthijsbruinsma3727]

I love your Sidisi deck CGB. Seeing it played on a couple of different shows and each time it looks awesome!. Really like this show, hope you guys make more episodes!

[@MrDiogosantos1234]

Such a blast! Twist after twist, better than every thriller movie I have ever seen. Great content, keep on =D

[@daaim0]

Ben is my favourite. Just a great guy and a joy to watch. Please have him in all your commander videos.

[@johnklug2098]

Wow, that mountain check saved the game for our best 1 in best of 1. Also Shea is cool, can’t wait to see more of her decks.( I know this deck wasn’t hers but I life gain deck from last week was amazing and I wanna see more decks of hers)

[@anonymouse8124]

Commander is my favourite format and you make it so entertaining! Please continue this series!

[@joshoa90210]

This is quickly becoming my favorite commander show to watch. Your play group is superb. Everyone has such a great attitude at the table and makes me want to pick up my deck and sling a few spells. Thanks CGB, I’m glad you’re back.

[@JRosen99]

First, Props to whoever did the framing putting "Dinosaur World" next to the Dinosaur player Second, I would love in these if you read the winning comment at the beginning (or end of the video). I'm loving these and hope to see many more in the future.

[@tlachgarrett9272]

CGB: "What's the worst possible thing your deck can do?" Blake: "I have this hat."

[@ty_sylicus]

1:08:56 Blake doing some accidental errors over there. I didn't notice 6 life lost from Meathook and he uptaps creatures after gaining control of them (not that either of these mattered). One of the fun parts of watching Commander contents is all the little things the players miss along the way. Always make sure your opponents lose the appropriate amount of life though! It's up to the person who is causing that damage / life loss to make sure no counts are lost.

[@kiraDKB]

Oh to Ixalan we rowed our boats across the vicious sea. For Beckett Brass we came to shore with swords and lots of mead. We came to find sea-faring folk with fins and lot of teeth. To a city of gold, that we were told, we marched past their bodies. Then an awful cry erupted from a man we couldn't see. There stood behind an awful sight, a man we called ole jimmy. His pegged leg was in the mouth of a large and fearsome beast. The monster was a massive foe, he stood but three men high. The admiral cleaved its head off with a fearsome, vengeful cry. For glory and gold the troupe went on looking far and wide. Oh are ye a pirate if your not a man of pride. Swashbuckling through the jungle, we dared not to hide. Through Ixalan, a dangerous place, we toil and we ride!

[@spencerrasmusson5499]

I loved the size of cgb’s deck compared to everyone else’s! You can tell they were double sleeved, also I can tell cgb is a man of class because many of his cards are blingy! Also, anyone else imagine cgb’s innner monologue going on during the game? I do, and it’s quite relaxing haha

[@maxgonzalez2854]

The back and forth and the was it really a backstab? well yea...basically, were all great. But the best parts by far were the little comedic things like cgb and blake switching seats and the gradual closeups. I think the editor was the real mvp in this one.

[@jerldavi]

I love this content! It reminds me of why I love magic. Arena is great but with all the emphasis on winning its easy to forget the game really is about having fun with your friends.

[@MattCorrales]

These videos make me want REAL commander with actual chat in arena. Sucks to not have a legit local store, so I watch these vicariously.

[@ChrisRS7]

Great series, chemistry is awesome!

[@matejbina626]

I don't get why you call this the worst possible commander show. I'm all into commander shows, and this is easily one of the best. I especially like the intro, talking about the worst things decks do, and the favourite card at the end. The gameplay itself is AWESOME, and I adore each player - man I wish I had this sort of game group. The music gets repetitive, but it's ok, sometimes the mikes turn evil and it's hard to hear people, but I'm still having an amazing time every episode. Don't change anything about the show, but the self-shaming title.

[@8mask]

CGB this show is awesome. Love the interactions between all of you. I may have either missed or misunderstood a couple things: (1) did Blake never take the damage from Meathook Massacre around 1:09, and (2) he also stole Marit Lage and untapped it, but I don't think that was right. Please keep making these shows.

When you played Bolas' Citadel and got excited and started ticking down your life I figured you were about to Torment of Hailfire off the top for X=many and instantly win. Then I asked in discord and they told me it doesn't work that way. Using Emrakul to _steal your own Ugin_ and flip the table is _much_ more sick that that!

Bit of a late comment but Sidisi doesn't work the way she's played at 37:45 - Ben mills two creatures and makes two zombies but he should only make one. Sidisi's trigger happens when 'one or more' creatures are put into the graveyard from the library, and she only makes one zombie for this trigger regardless of how many creatures are put in at once. As long as the mill is done in one go, even if you mill your whole library Sidisi only makes one zombie. Just so you know! Great game, really enjoyed it.
