What a transformation from Shae. Episode one she was quiet and shy, now she is the scariest player week after week!

[@fhmi.zailan2923]

character development!!

[@notrkm]

This episode marks the finale of CGB's battle against Mono Red. After years of being locked in fierce battle, he finally embraced the Mono Red way and attacked face til' they're dead. But, at the apex of his transformation into becoming a red mage, he met an old friend- a blue card! Not only a blue card, but a wheel that let him draw cards. Overwhelmed with joy, he drew his new 7, but was all of a sudden confronted by a purphoros machine gun wielded by Shea, that promptly shot him in the face. After finally being defeated by the combination of a blue and a red card, CGB retreated into the wilds, never to be seen again.

[@thomhitzelberger7876]

CGR was born!

[@avatarofpapermagic]

I love this series more than Game of Thrones

[@adamd6179]

We need to spread the word, and help cgb channel grow! I love this series 💕

[@darthpapa]

That was the longest death scene ever. Love the choice of land versions for Shay!

[@laurainthesky3765]

Shea, you are a talented deck builder. I have never seen that snake commander before, and you built a very powerful deck with it wrecking all the men. Their deaths were sooooo satisfying 😄.

[@jeffdai269]

33:09 I don't think cgb could have played the land. Chandra says cast, not play. Also the land is colourless and not red.

[@anthonymadrid6388]

Shae when she saw the Chaos Warp: oh crap please don’t target Purphoros with that CGB: why would I do that?

[@mariawolowiecki6035]

I continue to love Shae’s decks and always root for her to win! You really snaked out a win!

[@ApacheStoryteller]

How did they let her keep a win con on the table for so long I don't know, but it's was a great play to see happen.

[@mcbescheiden725]

@@ApacheStoryteller to be fair purphuros is hard to kill, but chaos warp would have done it.

[@ApacheStoryteller]

@@mcbescheiden725 exactly, I know when Theros came out the first time it impressed on people bro run Warren Cameron removal but also a lot more exile over destroy effects, Wipe Clean still being a favorite of mine as it exiles an enchantment of draws a card if nothing else.

[@fellisch9]

Shae played two lands on T5. First dreamroot cascade before combat then reliquary tower after combat. Dunno how much it affected the outcome though

[@gianglai7346]

21:25, 23:35

[@michaelkain6167]

I Shae that Shae shamed the Shaet out of Eh’rybody!! Way to slay with the snakes and Purphy boy, Shae!!

[@eaflower]

Awesome game! Purphoros was so good in Shea's deck. I was rooting for her to draw some kind of wheel effect to blow up everyone's face, and she did! 🐍💥 At the same time, everyone had cool and powerful stuff building up, so it was anyone's guess who would end up winning. All in all, one of my favorite episodes recently. Good luck with the new channel CGB!

[@Geodude_476]

24:30 This is fine. Narrator: It was not fine.

[@ghostjokes5226]

Shea absolutely destroyed everyone with Purphuros and it wasn’t even listed in the worst possible at the beginning! What a sneaky snake ;)

[@mkylem]

I was wondering where it went! Glad you put the self-advertisement in today's video.

[@MrBigfi]

Cool lists! Happy belated to Blake.

[@markorlowski7560]

Happy birthday Blake! May you have many more days of being stampeded by Shae's terrifying token armies.

[@Elboron]

Whenever I see Shea looking over her board state, glance up at her opponent, then prepare to cast their death, I get visions of the cover art from the comic "Doorway to Nightmare."

[@GozMaster]

52:53 Aaaaaaand Copyright Claimed. happy birthday and great episode.

[@BiCuriousGeorge1]

The art for time reversal is hanging in my office at work, and now I will always picture the horror of CGB when I see it

[@holymtg]

Great first episode (on the new channel)! Suspense until the very end and an epic finale! Pure awesomeness!

[@adamd6179]

Shae’s snakes bite everyone with venom, and Purphoros was everyone heart stopping from the ☠️ poisoning. 🤣 LMAO

[@MrBe56]

Happy Birthday Blake 🎉

[@D3774]

I like to imagine that Shae won because Purphoros chucked snakes at everyone’s faces

[@LordKaiju_2]

Flaming snakes, straight from the forge

[@juangabrielcarrascomogrove5054]

Fue una partida muy divertida! :D...happy birthday Blake!. Keep going guys!

[@neimaddamienjackson9256]

Some of the best!! Thank you!

[@jamesramey4050]

Happy Birthday Nerd! Great game y’all, love y’all’s content every week.

[@adamwhozit]

This is one of the best commander shows out there. I can’t wait for the new episodes

[@TaylorMomsen_]

Happy birthday to Blake!! So lovely T-shirt by the way♥

[@Netsonar69]

Great content so fun to watch!

[@damiantey4593]

That's a win if I've ever seen one. The most fun I've had since the show started. Good stuff.

[@NFAProductions]

This is a sweet take on the commander KZbin content, keep em coming!

[@Asian_Caleb]

Hype! Thanks for posting the reminder on the main channel!

[@brianandersonjr.8049]

Great gameplay. Big fan of the new channel and even more content. Go CGB!

[@MoroseMoe7]

Once again an incredible performance from everyone! Amazing show! Congrats Shae for an epic win!

[@terraproxy4097]

Thank you very much to you and your friends for your time and marvelous gameplay, master CovertGoBlue.

[@danlewis7707]

Hell yeah, new Channel!

[@CodeBaboon]

I just want to appreciate the editor's note when asked to place the total Purphoros damage count on screen.

[@camcongab765]

Congrats CBG! Good luck on the new channel.

[@StanZibar420]

What a fun game! The snake deck was really creative and way more powerful than I was expecting.

[@kttfb64]

Dragon’s Rage Chandler: could it BE any more delirious?

[@John--3-16]

AWESOME VIDEO MUST WATCH insane ending you won't want to miss Happy Birthday Blake and stayed till the end enjoyed every second and can't wait to see what everyone does next and please never forget everyone you're cool 😎🤟🏾❤️

[@ethanallen8372]

I’ve never seen a commander bring out everyone’s masochistic side 😂

[@zaifir8119]

Happy Birthday Blake! Also congratulations to Shea for the 100% Winrate on the channel.

[@lofivalentine9852]

Looking forward to more videos from this channel!

[@glacen]

Love the show! I've touched EDH a few times and had horrible experiences with it so I avoid it like the plague but I thoroughly enjoy watching the shenanigan's that go down between you four!

[@robertkincanon3526]

Shae has been scary from the get go, which I appreciate coming from the newer player to absolute threat Week after week, bringing tribal spice and getting it done!

[@redbirdriot]

CGB: "The worst possible thing I can do" is spill my soda over all the cards ;)

[@lonesamurai7788]

Champion Shea!!! 🙆‍♂️ I'll be honest, when Shea played the Purphoros, I thought why in the world is Purphoros in that deck and then it quickly all came together!! What a brutal combo!! I've had Xyris set aside for awhile now but never had the inspiration to build it.....until now!! 🐍 Love this damn show so much and so happy to see it get its own channel! Well deserved......Also, Happy Birthday, Blake!! 🎂 🥳

[@michaelmilligan9771]

Wow, Shea really showed the power of turning card draw into damage. Such a sweet deck. Great game, great victory hiss!!!!

[@kellybrian6495]

Just got the news! I subscribed!

[@NorionRey]

Purphoros did 146 Damage in total :) Someone had to do it... would have actually been more because i didnt count the damage it did to blakes nine-lives.. also counted into the negatives. Without that it did "only" 70 Damage... 24:32 best moment in this whole episode for me! Bens "oh" caught me so offguard! perfect comedic timing!

[@Thesupermrluc]

Wow somebody really did it haha

[@davidwitt5585]

All Hail, Queen Vraska....our🐍 overlord. Was still hoping for Craterhoof. It's your signature at this point. Going wide....and simultaneously table deaths. Congrats, Shae.

[@mtgpablo7195]

I've changed my mind CGW, commander content is your best content. After watching for more than 2 years, this is a great break from standard. Also the historic Brawl is "ballin" and Jin-GItixes ads are fnuny!💓💓

[@patriotfreak54]

Shaes shirt reminds me of my Dad. Taz was his favorite looney tooms character and it was our fathers day tradition to get him some kind of cheesy #1 dad tshirt. He would of loved it

[@Covo375]

Shea's a snake, she's a snaaake, she's a slithering sneaky snAke

[@krlbcn]

36:00 Shea's face when she's processing what purphoros is doing hahahaha

[@Etherealhorn]

Snakes! It had to be snakes!

[@Psychochild9]

Great video

[@amasterfullemon8906]

new channel hype! looking forward to seeing even more of this show

[@ivy-online5824]

Shae's face when she realizes Perphoros isnt getting chaos warped is priceless

[@kirkmccullar9949]

"Oh God, why did it have to be snakes!!"

[@toctheyounger]

Shae's reign of terror continues! Happy birthday to Ben. Love the shirt. All four players lived in harmony - until the Xyris nation attacked.

[@gamersadvice3633]

That took way to long for the boys to admit defeat, Shea way to make them squirm like Snakes!

[@jaberwock02]

How does Shea keep popping off so hard? Week after week her board nutso! She can't keep getting away with it!

[@kevinlopez6779]

That was a real nice win!

[@Kazz1187]

Yesssss separate channel time!!

[@petezhut1]

Happy birthday Blake! What was the date of the recording? My birthday is August 6th it would be cool if it happened to be the same day

[@Ketoinvestor]

Ghost Town Living is dropping a premiere video today at 1pm too. But I’m going to watch this Cool Bunch first. GLHF EDIT: Shae, you are my Father 🙏

[@kaskasus1]

Cool Games! Congrats to Shae!

[@m4sh4d4r]

Great game, it felt like everyone had a point where they were only a turn away from winning it, but in the end Shea managed to snake the victory away

[@mojojojoplus2]

But it turned out Ben just had a hand full of land 😅

[@davidvickers8205]

Shea showed you the alternative to “Snakes on a Plane”!

[@SacredMagic13679]

The true winner of this game was CGB, as his Chaos Warp (one of mono-Red's only ways of dealing with Purphoros) targeted the benevolent Goat-Mom who was just trying to give her foster children cards that prevented them from playing the game. Well done, Shea! As a rules side note: 33:00 Chandra, Dressed to Kill's exile ability says 'cast,' not 'play.' Therefore, CovertGoRed would not be able to play Sokenzan. You have let the mono-Red consume your mind, CGB!

[@romanpierce7121]

One for the algorithm. Keep up the awesome show

[@Yettipike1]

Time Reversal, love it. I've wanted to see that card do something since it was printed. I remember when it was spoiled I was like Timetwister but 1U extra has to be good right? I guess it's just in EDH but great use of the card.

[@carcheezy94]

Hiss-tory was made. 21 cards drawn and not a single answer! Time-traveling snakes for the win!

[@callmeinfidel8370]

Your self plug add worked. Great content keep up the good work. Happy to support this with likes and comments and a sub

[@ryanhenderson225]

Shae flying in on the Xyris-copter firing a mini gun of snakes is the mental image that will get me through this Monday morning.

[@Wiegraf4]

31:25 missed opportunity to call it "Endpinger"

[@M6twelve]

Shea at her peak, making tons of tokens and killing the blue mages with card draw

[@jrodriguez7532]

Everytime that purphoros hits the field, I think about scooping. I don't, but I think about it. 😌

[@leehunt6031]

My favorite Commander show!!!

[@t-dogn6171]

Thanks CgCrew

[@pleravens]

that was quite the hiss ending game. 21 snakes killing the board. Purphoros really should have been in the worst possible. That is much scarier than the Ascension. When I saw the commander and Purphoros on the board at the same time, I knew you had become the archenemy, but the board didn't catch up on it to do proper threat assessment and you really got them. Lets do the time reversal again!

[@aaronconverse9621]

Not a commander player, but want to support the channel (and feed the algorithm)

[@juliolabra2]

Purphorus's favorite movie is Snakes on a Plane.

[@Haya12234]

Purphoros is trying to hit the snakes with his hammer but keeps missing. The sparks hit the enemies in their eyes. That is the lore of this game

[@meinnameistschinkenwurst7260]

I love how not a single attack trigger was copied that day

[@nikoboivin]

I need to build more Shae decks... her playstyle fits mine a lot and she always ends up winning anyways

[@Blackadam36]

Purphoros just hammering away with all the snakes coming out was just the best.

[@atticusdanielson7198]

Fun game the second that purpheros came down I knew that share was gonna be the threat once again!

[@mdbellavance]

Purphoros: "So anyway, I started blasting"

[@jessiedaniels5695]

I just want to say this content is some of my favorite

[@Sw0rDf1sH]

Really enjoy this show, best of luck on the new channel 👍

[@PsychedelicCheeseburgers]

Great game, absolutely loved the finale! CGB should have Chaos Warped that Purphoros instead of the Zedruu, then it's a whole different game.

[@forrestbarnes6035]

In my best Indiana Jones voice: “It had to be snakes!”

[@poetro2567]

Love it

[@ollipop2615]

The Hiss at the victory was fearsome🐍

[@rylandalton1199]

Message for all those who wanted to know the total damage dealt by Purphoros God of the Forge. There where a total of 38 triggers dealing 114 damage, minus 9 triggers from nine lives, which equals an overall total of 96 damage. Amazing game Shae you were the scariest person at the table this week! looking forward to seeing your next deck 😻😻😻

[@TheMusicMan1105]

So technically wouldn’t each individual card draw from each player trigger as a separate instance of producing a snake and then the 2 damage for creature etb? I thought cards that say “draw 7” activate as separate instances like allowing one to dredge for one instance of draw for example

[@rylandalton1199]

@@TheMusicMan1105 draw 7 would make 7 snakes and the god will do 21 damage all up for that one instance

[@redwarriorgamer955]

Throwing comment love for the new channel algorithm but mainly bc the best birthday present for Blake is Queen Shae to dominate! Whoot
