This is the most REAL feeling group of friends playing Magic together anywhere on the internet. It may not have a huge budget, or an 30 employees working behind the scenes on the most up to date effects, but I would rather watch these games just for the chemistry of the cast and the creative nature of the decks. Thank you for bringing the community your brand of EDH.

[@covertgoblue]

Ok, kind-of on the nose, but I needed to hear something nice today. You win the CSI giftcode, send an email to [e-mail] with a screenshot of this comment and I will send you a code :)

[@WebSpyder777]

@@cameronjohnson7832 Command Zone definitely has the highest production value but this definitely feels more like FLGS Magic.

[@streamstripper]

I totally agree! Awesome comment 🤟

[@joehusbands8538]

I'm back here for the rewatch. Chemistry top knotch

[@notrkm]

41:37 moments like these are what makes this such a great and unique show

[@anoniemoose]

I like how Shea's wincon with Triumph of the Hordes is essentially a massive case of "cat scratch fever"

[@Forvesss]

YOOOOO! My man Blake finally got to pop off and wreck the table from doing so, even if he didn't win he won in my heart. I'm absolutely building that deck!

[@bleepblarp275]

These have become what I look forward to on youtube

[@AlexRodigue]

Awesome game as always, gotta echo the other comments here that point the chemistry you guys have and how wholesome it feels, but if I have one constructive comment to say about the production is that when we switch to the top down camera view, you guys all have the same playmat and it's confusing to know who sits where at a glance. If you guys want to keep all having the CGB playmat perhaps you could overlay the name of the players at the corner of their playmat ? Also, it seems the top-down camera was set-up on the other side of the table compared to the other episodes. Usually CGB was on the lower-right corner and now he is in the upper-left corner. It's a minor thing, but might as well mention it. Thanks for the content ! :)

[@callmeinfidel8370]

I hereby vote to give CGB the honorary title of Longshadow (Black Company Glenn Cook) for sitting in his ivory tower while the world burns.

[@hotdogavenger7144]

To awnser the question cgb didn't expect someone to check, since the vacation there have been more gw(4) than rw(2) but one gw was during the battle for the change so there where 3 gw days.

[@greekPharaoh666]

Shoutout to the editor! Amazing job, made me smile multiple times. Great work, great games, keep it up!

[@SaraKkkkkkkk]

The spectacularly scary soaring sharks strike again!!

[@oia]

SHAE ANSWERED MY QUESTION IN CHAT! I have been graced by celebrity =) Hyped to learn you folks make your own decks. Thought the group might be handed decks on game day and told “go!”

[@kaldheimsnow3449]

Solitary Confinement in the Ivory Tower! Worked out pretty well after that Rift filled your hand!

[@mrshadelock]

Wow so many sleepers on this GREAT content. They need to get on this stuff. Sensai "won" but Blake's kamikaze was the play of the game. Love it as always and miss these kids that aren't here for the 2 hours of Commandery goodness.

[@inbanewetrust1512]

Not talking smack but don’t get how their was like no enchantment removal. Great games and enjoyed watching! Love the commander series you guys are doing! Doesn’t feel scripted, seems like 4 pals playing, and playing their own decks.

[@notrkm]

i believe there is more than 1 missed harmonic prodigy triggers in this game, but i'm not bothered to find & timestamp them all edit: also at least 1 academy manufactu- manufacture- manufactor trigger

[@jordantiburcio4541]

Every magic table has a Ben. He's my favorite

[@Valendr0s]

CGB when Blake plays Cyclonic Rift... "Oh no..... ... anyway"

[@graysonjones5425]

I couldn’t be any more excited

[@valt3rnative]

It's fine if it's okay with you guys but playing for second or third place is usually frowned upon in the playgroups I play with. It's seen as a cheap way to feel superior to the other players who might have still had a chance to win the game. Other than that, loving this edh series a lot : )

[@joesimon2169]

I am a smart person with taste because I love dogs... Thanks CGB I feel like you get me..

[@BigfootIsMyDad]

“No bottoms allowed, let’s go,” damn, guess I’m leaving.

[@oakmountaingod]

to be honest imo Blake won this one... awesome game guys!

[@damiantey4593]

Damn Blake, that finish. Beautiful.

[@Ketoinvestor]

Sooooo, in order of winning, CGB, Blake, Ben, and Shae, GG’s. Aaaaand, we got to see the metal Shark Token, cool, but I did miss Shae’s card-of-the-game (which was lost in the hubbub of who she named)? Can anyone remember? I’d guess it to be Shae’s Commander, which was cool 😎

[@GiftsTrix]

I don't like commander. I played EDH a total of three times when I first heard about the rule set. Lack of predictability in a deck, big L. Lack of a definite metagame to attack, big L. Multiplayer magic, big L. These just aren't things that I personally enjoy. So, WHY DO I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH? This is perfect content. Keep it up.

[@darkhylian]

Blake say's he is a 'nice guy' way too often to actually be one.

[@thejray422]

Sweet Islands CGB!

[@Fedalkin85]

if You like it then you should put a sleeve on it!

[@NIKHILUS]

Not really a fan of these movie scenes popping up in between. They are kind of distracting.

[@covertgoblue]

Get the CGB Playmat, only 100 exist in the world: lantern.games/collections/new-arrivals/products/official-covertgoblue-playmats Heads up, one of the cameras recorded at a lower quality. We definitely didn't mean to make Blake and Shea more blurry. We have it fixed in the next episode

[@simply.skyler]

It was bound to happen with the gravity issues on that side of the room. Glad to hear you fixed it though!

[@MattCorrales]

I love how you’re modeling it with the Cobra Kai shirt. Strike First, Strike Hard, No Mercy!

[@greyfox3954]

hate babyblue.. you got any of these in a darker tone?

[@sikakraa]

Would it be possible to get something in the early heading or to the image to "identify" the episodes based on the thumbnail? KZbin suggests stuff randomly and it's hard to see if youtube is suggesting a new episode or something I've watched already.

[@mwysocz]

1:41:49 "I used to hate long games of commander but then i grew up and now I just savor every moment with my friends which is why I tend to play decks that don't actually ever end games" - I love this quote :) And I have the same and that's why I love this new commander series so much - Watching it feels like I'm sitting there with you guys :)

[@shawnshaft8]

They say Shea shows up on a bobsled pulled by cats, and no one references Esikas Chariot?

[@edkolbe1850]

The Catillac Attack

[@kc7236]

Years watching CGB, and not to say everything else hasn't been great, but these commander games are AMAZING to watch. Ticking off for MTG watching, jank/non meta builds, and backroom board game shennagins. Anyway you can't pump out more of this content, DO SO!

[@notrkm]

CGB and the crew: dabate what sound a serpopard makes me: well, the serpopard is prowling, so wouldn't it try to be quiet and make no noise at all?

[@jamessheehy810]

I like that Shae is wearing a cat sweater to match the deck theme. Gotta convert those black threads to green though

[@johnrobertson1]

That 31:53 sound effect is perfectly on-brand.

[@WebSpyder777]

Ratchet bomb has got it goin' on. It's all I want and Solitary's gone.

2:03:56 YESSS CGB WATCHING REMY VIDEOS ON HIS STREAMS IS PAYINg OFF! once those words are in your head, they aint leavin

[@Kilawpilath]

Would have loved this video, but you ruined it with Spiderman 3 Venom Reference. But at least CGB won 2 Commander Games.. one on IHYD and one on his OWN SHOW.. wait is this the first time CGB Won a video on his own Show?

[@notrkm]

cats>dogs i do not have great taste, and i am definitely not a smart person. I mean, I watch CGB because I cant play myself :P

[@Shoup1155]

enjoying your content, I like seeing the same cast.... It kind of reminds me of my playgroup..............................

[@AceVendetta1]

Love love the episodes of commander as always CGB! but one question, can you rotate the camera back to how it was in previous games so we can better see your board's POV? I value your boards perspective a lot! thanks! :) happy gaming.

[@devontufts1291]

I think the mats are cool and I've really enjoyed the series but.. My favorite part is each person having their own style and personality and to me everyone using the same mat takes a bit away. Visually until a number of cards hit the table I couldn't tell who was sitting where. Didn't realize CGB was top left for a bit.

[@ChrisPBacon-ml8qd]

Same here. Much harder to follow the action

[@devontufts1291]

@@ChrisPBacon-ml8qd Also this was the first episode where CGB wasn't bottom right, which made me align everyone from that usual position. Which I think that is the best spot has him. It's his channel, it's the POV side of you're familiar with Arena (opponents on top), and if everyone goes back to their own mats his will be upside down if he's up top. Looks like my comment isn't being picked this week. But I love the channel and watch the videos multiple times a day.

[@DarthDavyJones1]

Instead of Shiver Me Timbers, Pirate CGB says "Fizzle-My-Blink-Trigger"

[@James-StJames]

Why didn't you ask Shea what her card of the game was?

[@tmotz66]

Absolutely love the commander videos. I love the jokes and edits, never fails to make me laugh my butt off. Hats off to all of you. I can say without a doubt that you have the BEST commander show on KZbin.

[@brandonbusby4180]

I will agree with everything you just said, but you misspelled "worst possible."

[@yellowtheyellow]

Crushing on blake

[@cafemalo]

Really enjoy the series, but ben and blake need to step up their game. Just shea and CGB are winning. Although blake really did pull off that amazing OTK for the whole board. on a side note, the audio for ben or in general is really low. Almost couldn't hear ben most of the time. I know he speaks softly, but a mic closer to him would help. Had to turn on subtitles to watch fully. That's the only problem i had though, the clips i didn't like much, but thats more of a personal preference or maybe because they were new. But they took me out of the flow but maybe because of the sound being low for the players. Anyways amazing content, thanks to CoolStuffInc for being an amazing sponsor. Great group to play.

[@rubencp93]

I don't like to bitch, but if we could have Blake's life counter -or anybody else's, for that matter- not be red, that'd be great. If that's not possible, a life counter in post production would be helpful. The +1, and -1 are amazing, but I'll be honest, I lost count of it about 1-1.5h in, and the red didn't help me at all. Appreciate it!

[@EM10gamer]

If EDH could be summed up in one comment I think it was CGB’s interaction at the end: “…and then I’ll do 24 damage to myself.” “B-but glory!”

[@fablerh2476]

I HATE BEN! Since his doop-doo-doodoop-doodoo I can’t think of anything other than baby sharks :D and maybe manufactors ;) great guy, keep it up!

[@danielbetts5208]

tbh the overhead shot being flipped upside-down really messed with me. I had to do some mental gymnastics every time it cut to that view and the game was pretty hard to keep track of.... I couldn't finish the video. Love the show! just plz go back to the normal camera orientation....

[@drt4527]

Blake actually stacked his triggers wrong, so he would have killed himself before killing Ben. This would have cleared his remaining triggers on the stack, which would mean that Ben would still be alive.

[@streamstripper]

I really enjoy watching your videos! I love the power levels you all play! Props to Shea for playing cats with infect 🤣 Poison is near and dear to me within my decks haha

[@tomdowney37215]

I was totally rooting for Ben.. until he said cats were better than dogs. Cmon CGB! Wrath that board!!

[@rabidpickleosrs2995]

Armored Skyhunter is probably one of my favorite cards. Sadly every time I play it, it dies a horrible death before I get to attack with it.

[@mcswedchef]

What a fun game, and crazy ending. I laughed the hardest though with the "cool" animation for Vision of the Unspeakable.

[@Failypso]

This is now my favourite series on the channel. And I actually like the rest a lot :) Nice editing btw!

[@shawnlang168]

CGB with 29 cards in hand with no max hand size is the Magic equivalent of a kid at a candy store and a fist full of money.

[@jbancroftconnors]

With everyone having the same playmats and you flipped the overhead camera I kept getting confused on who was who.

[@notrkm]

man, u factor?

[@gazza4589]

You added all of these clips but didn’t do the “Cool Beans” clip?!?! Missed opportunity.

[@Smith.S.E.]

At the beginning I thought, how the heck could you manage to get everyone else to defeat each other? Two hours of madness, that's how

[@c_mclaugh]

Instead of a championship belt, how about a championship ring? They could wear it during the game and pass it on at the end.

[@jbancroftconnors]

CGB, not sure what has changed. Your ads are way louder than your content. Wearing ear buds and get blown out when the ads play.

[@giovannishepard653]

I liked Blake's deck so I checked out the link and thought, "holy crap, who spends this much on a deck?" Then I wondered what was so special about tundra. Content money indeed.
