I LOVE Golgari control, and I saw this deck and thought, "Man, if Farewell didn't exist I'd be grinding this deck all day," and then you went ahead and beat a 4xFarewell deck in maybe one of the most epic games of Magic I've ever seen. That was so sick and I am 100000% going to try this deck out.
It's a lot of fun. Made one with my own twist, being a massive black control fan, needed more control elements. But the Wrenn & Chariot plus Shigeki is the star. Golgari graveyard control is just the most fun xD
you can get Shigeki with blood on the snow, return it to hand with its own ability, then channel for blood on the snow for infinte board wipes! GREAT CONTENT
Thanks for that kind of Control-Deck Video... It was a joy to see your Enjoyment with non-blue Control and for me some good lessons to play this kind of deck. Thank you for your effort in this kind of work!
There was a card from Eldrich Moon called Seasons Past. It was a sorcery for 6 (4GG) that let you put choose cards of different mana costs from your grave and put them into your hand. Then you put Seasons Past on the bottom of your library. I saw a pro tour list that used it along with careful wipes, removal and value creatures to endlessly grind. It was amazing. It inspired me to make my first Golgari Cmdr deck (Meren). This deck grinds even harder! Just. Awesome.
One interesting thing that happened to me the other day, was that my opponent activated "Hive of the Eye Tyrants" ability twice before attacking, and then was able to exile two cards from my graveyard. at around 52:00, CGB could have done the same to get rid of both "Rites of Oblivion".
Coming back to say thank you for introducing me to my new favorite card that I will be jamming into decks repeatedly for the next few years. I even splurged to get the nice cosmetic which is a big deal for a tight wad miser like me.
Whenever you decide to play Alchemy, there's a card I've tried to find a home for that may be awesome or unnecessary in this deck. Veteran Ghoulcaller - Whenever a card in your graveyard is put into your hand, conjure a duplicate of that card.... Maybe cool? Muchas tortugas?
CGB if my go to channel to watch when I wanna chill, I don’t know what it is but I’d prefer to watch CGB decimate opponents than any other channel on RUclips
1:01:55 I like attacking Lolth with Eyetwitch here. They probably block, then you can Blood to kill the Lolth and get back Eyetwitch. They keep a Spider and you keep Shigeki (which can get back Mascot theoretically for the price of milling 3) and have mana for Hive on defense and Shigeki activation. If they don't block you can Blood to wipe creatures anyway. Seems better against removal overall.
My other combo is adding red Arien: When Arien enter the battle return sorcery or instant back to the hand. I always loop her with Blood on snow and if opponent doesn't have removal it pretty much GG.
Nice list. Though I'm not sure I buy playing Mortality Spear over Binding the Old Gods. It can't hit creature lands anyway, which is the main reason you'd want instant speed. 7:15 Protip for anyone trying to make deathtouch + bite spells work in Standard: Master's Rebuke is a new common in Neon Dynasty that is strictly better than Rabid Bite. It's an instant instead of a sorcery, and it can also remove loyalty counters from planeswalkers. And play Kappa Tech-Wrecker - that card is nasty.
I fucking knew it! Something about the last video had me guessing golgari was coming up soon. And as a golgari player, let me be the first to say I approve.
I almost never see you punt, but 1:18:20 was a game losing punt. If you target one spirit with -1/-1 and the weaver with -1/-1, you probably can go wide enough to win. Also should've attacked all.
CGB this deck is so much fun. I played it in the standard format a year ago and I still play it in explorer and historic just bc its that fun. ive changed it up a bit, but if you do see this, what kind of changes would you make to this deck for the current Explorer format?
"How many board wipes can you have in a game with 4 farewells?" Me:that's when they draw the meathook massacre stuck in the bottom of their deck Lady luck:haha about that
junji blood on the snow blood daemon and drana lol. a feign death with a junji over and over again lol nighthawk fits in nicely lol. i like combos that just get the combo stuff back lol. dig in defend try to burn them out and come back with 2 health and destroy them lol. love it.
Game 4: Over 30 minutes of epic control deck tug of war from both players. Game 5: Monowhite is confused! It hurt itself in its confusion! Monowhite concedes within 3 minutes.
@cgb I’ve been brewing a golgari in search of greatness deck. Black mainly for removal, lollth, the new dragon. Finally hit mythic with it. Would love to see your take on the deck and what cards to curve with to optimize in search of greatness.

Think it may has to go to a bo3, develop a SB etc. Still winning and go to mythic basically off this list, but think it can get optimized for sure,
I might just be stupid or something but I just created this deck and I can't play it in standard cause of illegal cards eiskas chariot. What did I do wrong. I don't like to play historic.
My love for magic grew simutanisly with my love for your channel. Only one complaint, if i might: Less complaiing, you are doing so well, realize it :). Love from Germany.

That was a pretty damn epic game
8:24 is the best sound I’ve heard cgb make. Ever and forever.
LOL
someone needs to make a compilation of CGB sounds
you can get Shigeki with blood on the snow, return it to hand with its own ability, then channel for blood on the snow for infinte board wipes!
GREAT CONTENT
The state of your hairstyle says it all during the game 2, dude went through all the super sayan phases to bring this home.
CGB: “I’m gonna shown you how events can be fun”
Almost Every Other Streamer: “He’s on vacation, ROAD TO MYTHIC BEGINS”
" We've done some self-mill shenanigans. " I love this man's commentary. It's why I am back daily. Woot!
Love seeing that golgari deathtouch deck putting up a good fight. It’s good to see home brews can still be viable
Lots of commons and uncommons. That was definitely a bunch of cards they had on hand.
The awesome narrative of these standard event videos is just unbeatable.
My favorite thing about cgb playing shigeki is him always forgetting it's non legendary haha
This deck is so savagely relentless. It just doesn't quit, by far the most fun net deck I ever learned from another player. A masterpiece good sir.
Thanks for that kind of Control-Deck Video...
It was a joy to see your Enjoyment with non-blue Control and for me some good lessons to play this kind of deck.
Thank you for your effort in this kind of work!
Finally the golgari deck ive been trying to build
You are still the MOST EPIC, that ever lived, CGB. A pleasure.
Covert Green Black has brought out the Rock. You got my like.

That mirror match was epic. The last play was so good
The match against the black/white deck was epic too, very entertaining lol
The thumbnail is on point! :D
Have passed a lot of time since I loved a deck of yours so much!!
Any deck with chariot and wrenn should be called scratching post
Let the nonsense begin - best and now mythical sentence, I love it:)
What a cool deck. I think I’m gonna try this out
You're an alright dude in my book, cgb.
Let’s go perfect afternoon video!
They ain’t going to Valhalla with that “hello, hello, hello…” nonsense! 😂
They need to make a card called "Wayward Clarion", so that CGB can say "Clarion my wayward so-o-on"
Maybe go all out and call the card “clarion of wayward sons”.
Coming back to say thank you for introducing me to my new favorite card that I will be jamming into decks repeatedly for the next few years. I even splurged to get the nice cosmetic which is a big deal for a tight wad miser like me.
Thanks! Looks like a fun deck.
Anyone else find it funny that a movie titled "I can do this all day" is an hour and 45 minutes long? I see what you did there CGB. :-)
Surviving 4 farewells was awesome
Holy shit, that second match was some high quality footage.
Game 2 was the best Arena game I've EVER seen!
Wow
That game was tense, and so close. It even got me nervous!!
1:04 The card clearly states nonlegendary, so you cant use a shigeki to channel a shigeki from the graveyard.
beautiful.
Whenever you decide to play Alchemy, there's a card I've tried to find a home for that may be awesome or unnecessary in this deck. Veteran Ghoulcaller - Whenever a card in your graveyard is put into your hand, conjure a duplicate of that card.... Maybe cool? Muchas tortugas?
Damn this deck is cool!
A 2-hour video? Ohhhhh this is going to be a grindy deck. I'm in, I want to see the light fade from my opponents' eyes.
CGB if my go to channel to watch when I wanna chill, I don’t know what it is but I’d prefer to watch CGB decimate opponents than any other channel on RUclips

Hooray. CGB for 90+ mins. Let’s Go!!!!😁
love the longer videos with more games
CGB aka The One in Best of One aka the guy who gives me bangers of a song to impress my friends with
My other combo is adding red Arien: When Arien enter the battle return sorcery or instant back to the hand. I always loop her with Blood on snow and if opponent doesn't have removal it pretty much GG.
opponent giving you that GG was so dirty lmao how petty. Bet he's a joy in person.
come for the decks, stay for the Blues Traveler references
what a games, super cool:)
i missed graveyard loops. its good to see them coming back
I was exhausted after just watching this video
farewell, doomskar and blood on the snow, lets keep the planeswalkers immortal
Nice list. Though I'm not sure I buy playing Mortality Spear over Binding the Old Gods. It can't hit creature lands anyway, which is the main reason you'd want instant speed.

YES! Golgari grind-fest! I stayed up past my bedtime to finish this video
I fucking knew it! Something about the last video had me guessing golgari was coming up soon.
And as a golgari player, let me be the first to say I approve.
Also, "YOU WILL WADE THROUGH A RIVER OF CATS" is my new battlecry.
Shigeki can't get back himself either.
Thanks
He was saying hello for u to say your go
I almost never see you punt, but 1:18:20 was a game losing punt. If you target one spirit with -1/-1 and the weaver with -1/-1, you probably can go wide enough to win. Also should've attacked all.
That was painful to watch
Yeah, could have cleared their board the way they had blocked, instead of targeting both ghasts on one spirit
One of the best MTG matches followed up by a mono white misplay and scoop - this was a good day to play.
Golgari gang rise!!!
oh wow faced this exact deck in standard event today lol. i have to watch your videos before playing to know what i'll be up against XD
i love when he beats mono white... specially life gain.. i love it
I wonder about Shigeki and Old Ruststien, milling stuff to make things, then getting them back
I run Shigeki in my Old Rutstein brawl deck. It's pretty fun, but a lot of the times I mill myself and lose xD
Standard Dredge looks fun.
CGB this deck is so much fun. I played it in the standard format a year ago and I still play it in explorer and historic just bc its that fun. ive changed it up a bit, but if you do see this, what kind of changes would you make to this deck for the current Explorer format?
1 hour 45 minutes? It must be my birthday
Really funny deck
Endless Value was the name of your Mono Green deck in "Standard 2022".
cgb really wanted to say "master of my own demise"
1 hour 45 minute video? You *DID* do this all day.
Anyone else keep trying to tap the opponents pet and realizing AGAIN that it’s a RUclips video?
Rock!
"CG GOLGARI!"
This is pretty similar to my deck but I like ancient green warden and scute swarms being self meat hooked
Finally my colors.
Lifehack: count your lands by looking at the treefolk
Or just the overlay that keeps track of untapped/tapped lands
(Ace Ventura voice)
SHIGEKIIIIIII! 🤣
CHIIIIIIICAAAAAGOOOOO
@CGB Check your mic. It is cutting out at times. God bless.
"How many board wipes can you have in a game with 4 farewells?"
Me:that's when they draw the meathook massacre stuck in the bottom of their deck
Lady luck:haha about that
junji blood on the snow blood daemon and drana lol. a feign death with a junji over and over again lol nighthawk fits in nicely lol. i like combos that just get the combo stuff back lol. dig in defend try to burn them out and come back with 2 health and destroy them lol. love it.
Wrenn and Shigeki seems like a good name for this deck.
17:27 could've played it off like you really said "we di it"
I love shigeki. It’s green Lier Disciple of the Drowned
Was waiting for cgb to see Shigeki and think of the grindiness of him
Just a quick question, What would you do if your opponent played "Go Blank" during game 1? Wouldn't that just be GG?
Seems like a solid deck for enter the infinite reason you didn't run it?
what do you do about farewell and go blank?
Game 4: Over 30 minutes of epic control deck tug of war from both players.
Game 5: Monowhite is confused! It hurt itself in its confusion! Monowhite concedes within 3 minutes.
Shigeki sounds like the name of a song peter griffon would sing.
Oh gosh the Monowhithe player in the beginning did so many strange calls...
I'm in disbelief, I need to spend 0 wilcards to use this! So happy lol
@cgb I’ve been brewing a golgari in search of greatness deck. Black mainly for removal, lollth, the new dragon. Finally hit mythic with it. Would love to see your take on the deck and what cards to curve with to optimize in search of greatness.

Needs sampling. Make some banging techno 🤣🤣
niceee
nearly 1 hour for 2 games, so tense
My love for magic grew simutanisly with my love for your channel. Only one complaint, if i might: Less complaiing, you are doing so well, realize it :). Love from Germany.
1:32:47 they could have set a stop and the game somehow skipped it. it has done that to me before.
Just as I grabbed my lunch. 😁
That pulsing camera (refocusing maybe?) is distracting :/ Its not there in the twitch stream though, just the pre/post.
