I see my name and last name on the search space with a smiley face... ????? Must be coincidence... right?... Edit: Never mind, just heard the explanation on the video. Thank you so much for the dedication, CGB. I'm learning so much about deck building from analyzing your decks and listening to your reasons for the different card choices; and about how to play efficiently from watching you play. Thank you for all you are sharing and doing for the MTG community. You are awesome!
@@TheBoognish7 I think it’s better this way. Just random boss battles here and there. And sonio doesn’t talk so it wouldn’t be much different than just queuing up against them.
I started stuttering after my mom died about a month ago. It's like a trauma thing. I'm undergoing a therapy. You saying that people who stutter are still welcome helped my depression a lot. Thanks, CGB.
THAT'S what's up with CGB, huh? He worked in a record store. It all makes sense now. I always wondered how he was able to find so many "good" 80s songs during his streams. As we all know, 80s music is mostly a steaming pile. But there are shining exceptions to that rule (like Devo). CGB has introduced me to quite a few awesome 80s songs I'd never heard before.
It’ September 2021. CGB sits on the floor of his appartement, sweating, suffering. His hair is a mess, he hasn’t showered for days. With his heart beating out of his chest, the past three months are passing by over and over again, merging into a blur. How could he have been so naive? After hours of sitting there, the self-loathing and tears turn into resolution. Never again will he neglect his family, his own flesh and blood, that poorly. Now he sees clearly what he must do. He starts the Arena client, queues in historic and finds a match within seconds. He is on the play, with a terrible hand. He mulligans. And mulligans again and again. One last time, down to three cards. All hatred is wiped away within the blink of an eye as he sees it. He stares on his screen, with three copies of Yorion in his hand, the fourth noodle in the companion zone. The family is reunited, and, sobbing from joy, he has a realization. That the shuffler is, indeed, fine! CGB please take care of yourself, don’t let it come to this! Play Yorion before rotation, and if you do it every single day we will understand :D You’re cool!
I've found that a Jund deck using Korvold, Fae Cursed King can really pop off using a lot of the red/black treasure factories, paired with prosperous inkeeper, jaspera sentinel and binding the old gods soon as Korvold hits the board he can just devour treasure token after treasure token, growing in power and drawing cards before using all that mana to swarm the board with more bodies.
It's amazing how much more fun and interesting a format can be when removal is only kind of medium strength. Also, the Swarming Skeletons comment.... I feel attacked! 🤣
Wonder if a Dimir version with some combination of Iymrith, Mordenkainen, and Epiphany as the top end would work. Maybe splash green just for an answer everything card like Binding the Old Gods.
I think CGB and Sonio need to have a forgotten realms showdown with their favorite decks here soon ;) I'd love to see it! Thx for the content love ur channel brotha
I'm getting 100% win-rate with this deck so far. It synergizes so well - not just to disrupt the opponent with mooks on the board, but it has tons of lifegain, ramp and card draw. Love it.
Standard is straight up Historic atm. 1. One guy or one planeswalker + 37 counter/removal spells. 2. Turn 2 win with aggro. 3. Close to infinite T3-4 copy spells and win with class cards. 4. Goblins 5. Insane legendary ramp with bard class. 6. Insane life gain with cleric class 7. Angels Short of flashback standard is almost more historic than historic at this point.
CGB, if it was not for your videos on MTG, I would have given the game up. Thank you for making MTG interesting for poor people who can't afford to always keep with new sets.
In that Kaya deck I've been running(butching) with one of copys of Poet's Quill, Lithoform engine, and the ace Snapdax. Snapdax w/ a expanded attaomy on an unassuming flyer. Glorious 🧑🏾🍳👄👌🏾
I feel like the endgame of this archetype will involve making enough room for countermagic yet still taking advantage of the learn and treasures to make mana consistent compared to what the lands in the format provide.
I know it's jank. But I personally like playing with Narfi, Betrayer King. Bringing him back every time they kill him. The synergy with Ebondeath and Lolth. Eye twitch and Shambly cash for early chumps. Then you can play drauger or Jorn or Iymareth what ever. Deck is neat. Not necessarily competitive. But annoying and fun to play.
I get the feeling that trample will become more and more important in the meta for agressive decks if more people pick up on that early game package of value chumpers.
The treasure ramp + draw + stall package seems like the single best way to get to late game at the moment. Been having a good time with a Rakdos version of this; Kalain and innkeeper are analogous in function, so either color combination works. Just depends on what haymakers you want to run.
@@sairentoeko Not mad, just rolling my eyes at how CGB warps the constructed meta. First game in play yesterday was a 30 minute mirror match. Took it to ladder and faced today’s deck in the third game and it took 22 minutes (I was mistaken in my earlier comment, checked untapped and saw I only played one game in play queue). These are fun against the rest of the meta and too much of a time sink for me in the treasure dork package mirror right now. It’ll be interesting to see how that impacts the archetype’s popularity over time.
@@axodys Okay, that makes more sense, and yes, but it's not his fault. It's just how it is, really. Most people do not make their own decks, just copy paste from an online source, or meta net deck
Wanna see some Xorn on Jorn ramp action. In all seriousness, Koma’s 2 blue feels risky. Is there not some other top end Green and/or Black card - more Professor Onyx even?
Always love a cgb video but hate how after it airs everyone I play is using one of your decks! Im happy for your success but miss the days when you only had a few thousand followers and cbg was our little secret. I blame Merchant partly.
I feel uncomfortable. What can i say. GG, My Friend. I love you!❤️💙
Big fan of your channel man, cool to have someone who doesn't talk. I didn't think I'd enjoy it but it really has grown on me :))
@@devineyre5545 Thank you very much. 😇
That really was a good game Sonio. Love both your channels equally!
Hi there! Subbed.
Good on you guys trying to play control decks in this format. I've had zero lucky with them. Too many goblins.
You know you've got CGB respect when he rage quits yelling "I HATE HIM". Good on you Sonio
I died 🤣💀😂
i dieeeed 😄😄😄😄😄😄
@@spuggD Which video?
amazing game w/@Sonio
Sonio got super lucky lol

The rivalry with Sonio continues lmfao
That's what legends are made of!
You know the content is gonna be good when it's CGB vs Sonio
They need to set up a match.
@@TheBoognish7 Agreed!

Sorry for your loss. May your mother rest in peace and you find your own sense of peace in the healing process.
@@CJan65 Thank you, brother.
43:43 Skeletal Swarming is the new Outlaw's Merriment, confirmed.
Agreed
It is not the new one, it is much better
What does CGB have against fun??
@@clagen86 He's an Azorius mage at heart.
Except better. Giving your faceless haven +4/+0 and trample is…. Evil.

Rock Lobster!!
First game - giving Sonio a hard time for taking his time, and then at the same CGB played that game really slow. xD
Sonio is to CGB what CGB is to Hello Good Game. Delicious!
Lol poor HGG
Sonio is becoming CGB's Mystmin.
The Sonio rivalry is incredible! Two of my favorite deck builders/youtubers battle it out! Epic!

Ahh, so this is what that person I came up against in the queue earlier was trying to do. Glad they never found their Koma.

That ambience at 11:52 holy shit. Like a party about to fight a dragon or something

Compared to your older videos, you seem much more relaxed and confident. Very cool to see

I have a lot of respect for Sonio, he is not playing goldspan because he things it is broken... while still playing red decks... quite impressive.
17:54 My fav moment!!!!!!!
this deck is a lot of fun to play and is quite competitive, you just introduced me to the "control" decks
I enjoy all the song references and I enjoyed the record store backstory even more !
Standard is straight up Historic atm.
1. One guy or one planeswalker + 37 counter/removal spells.
2. Turn 2 win with aggro.
3. Close to infinite T3-4 copy spells and win with class cards.
4. Goblins
5. Insane legendary ramp with bard class.
6. Insane life gain with cleric class
7. Angels
Short of flashback standard is almost more historic than historic at this point.
Thanks CGB. Since you posted this video I keep running into that nightmare of a deck constantly in mythic :D
CGB, if it was not for your videos on MTG, I would have given the game up. Thank you for making MTG interesting for poor people who can't afford to always keep with new sets.
I like the way you layout your learn boards. It’s pleases my eyeballs.
CKC! CGB your excitement for this new standard is contagious, thanks again
I love playing this deck so much I had to rewatch this.

new to your stuff but ive been binging it like crazy and ive really learned how to play standard thanks to you. Keep up the great work man
I don't want to talk about my playing.... I was superman. Can confirm tiamat is hard
That Haven/Koma interaction is so cool
Alan Parsons Project
17:55 I fucking hated the thinking too, CGB lmao even though the game was great
I would have loved to see that kind of deck you played yesterday with a vorinclex and pw top end
I haven't heard Misery by Soul Asylum in forever and now it's gonna be stuck in my head for days
Avalanche caller would be hasty hexproof 4/4 snow lands late game and easy to bring back with blood on the snow
will CGB ever stop calling it 'deadly visit'?
I like when he does that or when he used to call crippling fear "crippling chill"

Come on CGB, try the skeletons out; YOU GOTTA RATTLE THEM BONES BOI
CGB tilted so hard my drink slide off the table lmfao
Saw this on Sonio stream....and just shit my pants when I sew you quit....now it makes sense lol 😆
What was the other package cgb said you could run instead of the snow one?
I’m surprised people aren’t running the spider queen in the green black sacrifice deck. Seems like it would be perfect
I get the feeling that trample will become more and more important in the meta for agressive decks if more people pick up on that early game package of value chumpers.
Suggestion: red/black Lolth sacrifice deck. Call it Arachdos.
I love that idea, and any idea with Lolth, that card is such a flavor win.
Hey CGB you should get the Gelatinous Cube sleeves in the store. They’re animated!
CGB: I hate him... But I also love him.
I'M HAVING A LOT OF FUN. I love this new card package with the treasures
The treasure ramp + draw + stall package seems like the single best way to get to late game at the moment. Been having a good time with a Rakdos version of this; Kalain and innkeeper are analogous in function, so either color combination works. Just depends on what haymakers you want to run.
Just because you said something. I really want to see you build a spider brawl or spider historic. Would love to see how you build it.
I love that I played this deck in the play queue yesterday while I was trying yesterday's deck.🙄
I don't understand if you're mad that someone was trying a net deck in play que when you yourself did just that, or what..

Loved that game with Sonio :)
Some of those attacks against Sonia weren't needed seemed like good no counter windows, tight match tho!
It’s him, it’s cgb
A true rival has arrived!
CGB playing blue without Test of Talents? Say it ain't so 😭
I think he's made it clear how he feels about test of talents.
Wow we got a Sonio game & a Soul Asylum song lyric/name in the same video? Merry Xmas everyone
It's OK. Being number 2 in best of one is still pretty good.
shots fired, lol
Siege Rhino mention? It's been a long time since I've heard that name...
I am tilt, where is the thing? If I dont see it in the first 2 games ...what is the point?
Wanna see some Xorn on Jorn ramp action. In all seriousness, Koma’s 2 blue feels risky. Is there not some other top end Green and/or Black card - more Professor Onyx even?
Temur innkeep, xorn, Koma has performed relatively well for me. Opted for that instead of sultai koma.
I think it would be fun if you played the skeleton deck. It would be quite Humerus.
Planeswalker's magic is back!
Can you make a black-red deck like this with goldspan dragon
Any guess on what this bunch of little cards could end up with?
"Just how it's spelled. S-O-N-I-E-O"
I don't have the 4th lolth, can i put another onyx?
Anyone else feel sad when cgb doesn't upload a video? Oh wait... 😁
And from left field, no you don't snake!
🤣🤣🤣 sonio everytime
Why did you concede against Sonio? I didn't understand... both of you had very few cards in hand and yours were great ones
He was dead on board to the creature lands.
its funny how he smashes HGG but Loses every game against Sonio
HGG makes so many mistakes when he plays it’s not really that surprising
@@logan-870 hgg is trash 🗑️
Not even kidding already run to this deck .......i LOST thabks cgb
Any chance you could knock out an esper deck? Watching everyday, always enjoy the content 👌🏽 GG’s CGB
This deck is good but with Kaya it is insane
Sonio had the high ground.
Back to standard, back to putting the opponent in a Koma
@Sonio thanks
THE MYTH THE LEGEND
Why did he quit against sonio? Didn't he still have sonia?
Why no closed captions on videos lately? Love the content but I can't usually watch with sound.
Let’s begin one of the best parts of the day :)
RKOma outta nowhere!!!
Surprise its Koma!
RKO(ma) OUT OF NOWHERE!
No shatter for goldsnaop dragon kekw
First time I've seen a hurdur TIMMEH move like casting Koma called '200 IQ' LUL.
CGB I NEED A TASHAS LAUGHTER ROUGE CLASS DECK DUDE!!!!!
Leaving 2 birds back knowing you can kill 1 and charge up the frosthaven for lethal... pretty suspicious. Sorry.
Always love a cgb video but hate how after it airs everyone I play is using one of your decks! Im happy for your success but miss the days when you only had a few thousand followers and cbg was our little secret. I blame Merchant partly.
No room in this meta for control decks.
Haymaker 4-5 drop.. Try battle mammoth? If fortold its 4..
Josue is pronounced like “ho-sway”.
I am so sick of Alrund’s Epiphany. Sigh 😔
