"'I'm sleepin just feed me." Is an amazing line. I love the growth of Ben from episode one to now. Guy has really come out of his shell and dang is he funny. Love the channel guys! Hope to play some commander with one of you some day!
Also, when he said that since his first nazgul was legendary he wouldn't be able to play more isn't necessarily true, right? The ring bearer effect makes one creature legendary, not "every card with the same name is legendary". So he would just have one legendary nazgul and some not legendary nazgul
you probably noticed this already from others, but the overhead camera freezes and at low resolution at places. idk what that was. doesnt really ruin anything, its a great episode! evil hobbit ben is awesome, lol
@@beliffywu5804 i mean, CGB is crafty as only a former-tourny champ can be, but yeah haha why don't they realize this by now?? I feel like Ben has my curse - often play big creatures = often receive big aggro
Never read Lord of the Rings; never watched Lord of the Ring. The things I know are from playing Shadow of War. After this game, Im definitely going to watch the movies. The four of them just having a blast, and making the characters come alive was amazing!
The amass 1 in Sauron is so awesome and lore success in commander. Literally unless everyone is holding removal, every cycle you get like a 10/10 token for free.
It's so in-character for Sauron to set up events so that the hobbits are ultimately taken down by their own dark dealings... victims of their own corruption.
i'm pretty sure you missed a trigger near 23 min when the second nazgul enter the battlefield : you get tempted but every time you are tempted, you put a +1/+1 on wraiths so you did taht but you forgot to do the same with the first nazgul
49:15 Not a major issue, but I don't think Frodo gets the "Draw, discard" effect of the The Ring emblem until the next time he attacks as his ability triggers in response to being declared an attacker, so the emblem wouldn't see him attack just as attacking.
My week is so much better when you release new content. Like the LotR gameplay. I sadly traded away Sauron, the Dark Lord not realizing the card would be fun the build around 😢
Anyone else think that Blake shouldve played Bens deck, and CGB shouldve played Blakes? Keep the costumes on these? Either way - amazingly fun game and great video!
Man, those are some excellent costumes you guys have going there. It's just a shame CGB missed the memo and is just wearing standard blue mage attire though (You shall not cast!).
You can put your commander back in to the command zone any time it would change zones, the library is considered a zone so you can still opt to put your commander back in the command zone just like if it were killed or exiled 😃
Whenever your commander would change zones, you could instead choose to put it into the command zone. Works for anything except if it's in graveyard and someone puts it onto the battlefield.
@@ferdithetank7535it's not quite "instead", if the commander goes into a public zone (graveyard or exile) it reaches that zone, then goes into command zone (so the death/exile triggers still occur). If the zone is not public (hand, library) then it is instead.
Honestly distracting that the wizard isn’t playing a wizard, the hobbit is playing a wizard, the elf is playing humans, and the ent is playing hobbits.
51:29 CGB was clearly the threat both chaos warps should been sent his way Edit: so confused why Shea didn't full send CGB either it's like I'm taking crazy pills Ben's no longer a threat, he's got no pieces nor health like?? Edit2: and so ofc it ends with a cgb win 😭 😭 😭 Why was threat assessment so off this game 😭 😭 😭
Sauron is a reallyyy nasty card. I cannot understand you waited so long to play him. He brings constant value even removing him makes him amass an Orc.
The fact everyone is cosplaying but everyone is cosplaying someone *other* than their commander is just so damn silly. Which is exactly why I watch these lovely goofs.
Watching everybody gang up on Ben while just ignoring CGB and his massive token army generation just...huh. Sure, he had a bunch of stuff, but he wasn't doing anything with it! He wasn't gaining life or drawing cards, he was just dirdling!
CGB was definitely corrupted by the power of the One Ring. He broke his promise of never playing Curse of Opulence again. Jokes apart, great video, guys.
Ooft, a mistake at 49 mins, the second tempt... Attack, BEFORE it ticked up to two... So no loot for that turn... Attack Tempt No loot Complicated cards! I've seen this oopsie happen THREE times so far this week!
The fact that they aren't playing the legends they are dressed as is absolutely destroying me.
I suspect it might have been a calculated troll to trigger the comments section :)
Yeah, it threw me off as well
Yes, however the fact that they dressed up to begin with is very interesting though I do wish CGB played with gandalf the White
What gets me is Treebeard talks about his hobbit friends, and he's not even playing Pippen and Merry!
@@MunchKINGPippen is a basketball player ;)
"'I'm sleepin just feed me." Is an amazing line. I love the growth of Ben from episode one to now. Guy has really come out of his shell and dang is he funny. Love the channel guys! Hope to play some commander with one of you some day!
CGB, each nazgul triggers separately, meaning on their etb or any tempt they each get counters equal to the total number of nazgul in play.
Also, when he said that since his first nazgul was legendary he wouldn't be able to play more isn't necessarily true, right? The ring bearer effect makes one creature legendary, not "every card with the same name is legendary". So he would just have one legendary nazgul and some not legendary nazgul
@@zmadbassist yeah, I thought he (or someone else at the table) did point that out later on in the video though
Gosh, Ben is such a vibe, I can't fully fathom the extent of his wholesomeness 😁
He had me at the beginning. CGB comin out with all that energy while Ben sleeps..."I'm Treebeard"... goes back to sleep
Gotta love Blake being the only one actually quoting lotr the whole game.
I love how CGB played evil tribal and it wasn't a meme. That deck looks good and fun to play!
Loved the costumes. Blake’s commitment to the bit was great as well, with the food lined up. Shae’s costume was phenomenal
this is the most delightfully nerdy episode of worst possible commanders show I've seen yet and I love it
the editing as well, like cgb disappearing when he put on the ring; this episode raised the bar
“I’m Treebeard” had me dying 😂
I love how Blake is eating food throughout the game! True character 🤟🏾😂🔥
you probably noticed this already from others, but the overhead camera freezes and at low resolution at places. idk what that was. doesnt really ruin anything, its a great episode! evil hobbit ben is awesome, lol
How do they never see CGB as a threat ? 😂 Poor Ben is always the punching bag
@@beliffywu5804 i mean, CGB is crafty as only a former-tourny champ can be, but yeah haha why don't they realize this by now?? I feel like Ben has my curse - often play big creatures = often receive big aggro
Probably because CGB complains anytime hes targeted with anything 😂
I love how blake cant stop touching the ring. You could say he was tempted by the ring 😂
Never read Lord of the Rings; never watched Lord of the Ring. The things I know are from playing Shadow of War. After this game, Im definitely going to watch the movies.
The four of them just having a blast, and making the characters come alive was amazing!
You are in for a timeless treat, my friend. Extended editions are absolutely worth it, fyi - especially on a first watch!
@@anonymouse8124 Appreciate the tip. I'll look for the extended versions, and watch those. Thank you!
@@rubencp93 find some friends, snacks, and time, and have a blast!
“Do not tempt me!!” I lost it from then on. Good ep
The amass 1 in Sauron is so awesome and lore success in commander. Literally unless everyone is holding removal, every cycle you get like a 10/10 token for free.
CGB's disappearance as Sauron after winning the game and putting the Ring on was very COOL!-))) Thanks for showcasing the new cards, everyone!
I love the chaos of you guys not matching the costumes to your commanders.
It's so in-character for Sauron to set up events so that the hobbits are ultimately taken down by their own dark dealings... victims of their own corruption.

I love that Blake was dressed like a hobbit, but playing Gandalf as his commander WHILE playing a super evil Jeskai deck. Yo da real MVP!
Loved all the LOTR quotes used throughout 😂😂 Awesome video, very enjoyable
Watched the whole video , it was fun and amazing to see the connections. Awesome gameplay
CGB, I watch you play Arena so I don't have to but watching you guys play commander is the real draw. This was great.
I LOVE these outfits! lol, and especially the gandalf guy. ;)
Omg of y'all are really in those cosplay get ups... either way still my favorite commander gameplay channel
Thank you, CGB, for taking off the beard after the intro! :)
Ben not overloading the Damn to kill Sauron, too, and prevent the Orc Army from returning blows my mind. Completely threw the game there.
damn...
54:15 I love Shay's play with Blake. Diplomacy at work it makes the game interesting
As the Witch Kim of Barna whenever I'm playing Middle Earth SBG (LotR warhammer) I aprove of this game and this new victory for our Lord Sauron
Great game guys. Thanx for sharing

It's so weird seeing Blake without a hat on
Vandalblast is a cool card. Reminds me of Shatterstorm, an old fave, just updated!
So perfectly corny! Love it love it love! ... And Shae as an elf .. be still my Hobbit heart
This was so good y’all. Really nice work 🙂
Where can i find CGB's Sleeves?!
I opened this Sauron in my first Set booster box and now I'm definitely going to build it.
Sooooo, Gandalfs playing as Sauron, Treeboard is the Hobbits, Frodo is Gandalf and Arwen is the Humans.... Got it
Loved this playmat. ❤
Hey CGB would love to see you build Smeagol as your commander next and you definitely have to do the voice!
Wow that game was wildly entertaining to watch. The lotr set is very fun
any good YOOOOOOOOORION lsit updated with the latest set?
I was really hoping CGB was playing Gandalf the white! Maybe in the future????
Hey CGB. Did you think of adding The Ozolith to the deck, since your commander makes +1/+1 counters on every turn?
I don't think the legend rule applies when you play a second Nazgul if one is legendary.
Shea looks great as an elf, best costume
“Yes, feel it” - Ben
Ben wins this cosplay, there's no debating it lol!!
So many punts, so. many. punts.
Every time shea cast her commander and passed she would pass through combat and get 2/2's right?
Shea is beautiful as Arwen. I was hoping she was Either Arwen or Eowyn for her cosplay or maybe even Galadriel.
Man, those are some excellent costumes you guys have going there. It's just a shame CGB missed the memo and is just wearing standard blue mage attire though (You shall not cast!).
How could Blake put his commander into the command zone instead of top of libary before the Jeskai's Will?
Whenever a commander changes zones, you may choose to put it into the command zone.
You can put your commander back in to the command zone any time it would change zones, the library is considered a zone so you can still opt to put your commander back in the command zone just like if it were killed or exiled 😃

I actually love it that their cosplays don't match their decks. Made it more interesting during deck presentation.
59:55 missed gandalf trigger lol
Some call him benbeard
cgb trying to have Shroud @ 20:10
Honestly distracting that the wizard isn’t playing a wizard, the hobbit is playing a wizard, the elf is playing humans, and the ent is playing hobbits.
I think cgb casts his 2nd nazgul with only red and blue mana so he can cast whip of erebos at 23:00
Oops
Hey gang, the silly goose police called; you need to turn yourselves in 😥
1:00:36 Blake casually eating Bens friend
I'm so offended that no one is playing an elf >:( they're so so so lovely.
hey we did get an arwin cossplay though
CGB mentioned there will be 3 LoTR episodes.
I am patient, I can wait
51:29 CGB was clearly the threat both chaos warps should been sent his way
Edit: so confused why Shea didn't full send CGB either it's like I'm taking crazy pills
Ben's no longer a threat, he's got no pieces nor health like??
Edit2: and so ofc it ends with a cgb win 😭 😭 😭
Why was threat assessment so off this game 😭 😭 😭
Why did Blake not have to pay for pact of negation
Quite sure Saurons gonna win this one! 😂😂😂
Best. Episode. Ever. Love it! 😎👍
SHAEOWEN?!?!?!?!
*Shea, it's in every intro and people still get it wrong
Sauron is a reallyyy nasty card. I cannot understand you waited so long to play him. He brings constant value even removing him makes him amass an Orc.
You did not do that lmao
The fact everyone is cosplaying but everyone is cosplaying someone *other* than their commander is just so damn silly. Which is exactly why I watch these lovely goofs.
this is amazing
aww elf shay, mah heart
can... we keep the pregame intro for all future vids thanks
Treebeard at home 😂
LOR really twisted up the game with the mechanics involved. The most since Eldraine.
I'm 6 minutes in and I know who the winner is. It's Ben. Ben wins.
I mean you all look great, but Ben wins. Gg, go next.
Clickbait, there's no giant flaming eye sitting at the table, somehow playing Magic cards without burning them and without possessing hands!
You’re at a card shop… go get the right tokens lol
Yes
Ben the ent. Bent?
Watching everybody gang up on Ben while just ignoring CGB and his massive token army generation just...huh. Sure, he had a bunch of stuff, but he wasn't doing anything with it! He wasn't gaining life or drawing cards, he was just dirdling!
cgb gets everyone to screw ben, so he can win so often...lmao
CGB was definitely corrupted by the power of the One Ring. He broke his promise of never playing Curse of Opulence again.
Jokes apart, great video, guys.
Treebeardless😂
Nazgul***
B-Ent
A few different ring mistakes this game but it’s a new mechanic for them
Hm, whatever made you all playing different commanders than your outfit, playing Sauron as Gandalf is too much of a spread to me...
Ben-t
Treeben
Ooft, a mistake at 49 mins, the second tempt... Attack, BEFORE it ticked up to two... So no loot for that turn...
Attack
Tempt
No loot
Complicated cards! I've seen this oopsie happen THREE times so far this week!
cringiest episode ever. i love it
Ben tho😂😂😂
