Possibly the most busted 3 drop you can curve into Tajic with is Savior of Ollenbock. Just about an automatic win if it doesn't get removed the first turn it comes down.
Given the amount of keywords Tajic puts onto the battlefield, I'm really surprised not to see Odric, Lunarch Marshal in the decklist. Maybe you forgot about him, but he seems perfect for this deck to me.
I get that with most of the Boros or Red-White oriented decks I try to build. I think it's because that color combo is still extremely lacking in broad card advantage or ramp - while yes they do have tools for both of those things to some degree, it's almost always so specific that it pigeon-holes you in to playing a certain way. If you're trying anything else, you're relying on a great hand AND a few good draws (or vice versa) and if not, you're screwed unless your opponent has had a very bad start. Conversely anything centered on Green-Black, Green-Blue, or Blue-Black, you get such easy access to ramp/card draw/mill + recursion/all three, that you can kinda do whatever you want around it and probably make it work.
I played against this deck with my BG spider deck and I killed the opponents angel that allowed me to play small creatures from the graveyard. The opponent conceded because I just kept gaining life
When you talked about hating this card and how powerful it was the other video, I checked to see if you had made any decks abusing it and was surprised you didn’t. I’m not surprised anymore lol
I hate this commander design so much. It asks absolutely nothing of you. You don’t have to worry about what the rest of the board is doing, how you might grow your commander, how you are going to attack without it dying, how you’ll protect it from removal, how you’ll build a board around it. You just play it and turn it sideways. This is what people are talking about when they complain about modern commander design.
I want to like these brawl videos, but without a competitive que its like watching someone play standard in the Play que. Literally, almost every match in Hb can be won right now by picking Teferi as the commander and cast a counterspell or two then opponent either scoops or alt-F4 to peave you waiting 5min for a win that does nothing for you other than progress dailies. Its just not good, brawl itself is a great format, WotC just needs to add a ranked que for it. I think the only reason they havent yet is because it would cause a massive dip in players for the other ranked ques
If the cards said that, then you wouldn't take damage. But they don't. Protection says, amongst other things, "prevent all damage that objects with the stated quality would deal [to the object or player with protection]". The damage restriction from protection is a prevention effect. That's why an effect that says that damage can't be prevented overrides it. (Compare Teferi's Protection: "Until your next turn, _your life total can't change_ and you have protection from everything. All permanents you control phase out." Note the highlighted part: since your life total can't change, you don't actually lose life when you take damage, even if the damage isn't being prevented.)
Those effects are usually worded "Prevent all damage that would be dealt to you" and "damage can't be prevented", so here the "can't" wins out and the damage is not prevented. The rules say that "can't" effects take priority. For *protection,* the underlying rules also clarify that it works by *preventing* damage.
Idk if you want to take a challenge from a fan for a video, but I would love to do Anim Pakal vs Tajic. Best of 3 and no early scoops. I think my Anim Pakal deck is better than the Tajic deck, especially in a VS. It's much more explosive. If you win, I will subscribe to the cool kids club. Indefinitely.
Feels just like the build, Im running a good 65-70% win rate un hell queue (where this commander is ran). I just go less for boros good stuff and pure gotta go fast, cards like mana tithe,etc while good tempo are dead cards when trying to kill them before they go off. I have an easy 100% win rate against nivmizzit(UR variant) as an example. The bane of my existence for this deck is actually mono blue combo, like emilia, where my variant of this boros deck sports something like a 20% or less win rate.
I don't think Tajic is hell queue. I've been running into him quite a lot with my Sorin deck, so far my win rate is nearly 100%. It's amazing how effective having a lifelinker, a vein ripper or cordial vampire in the way can be. I do get an harder time against pure control versions though.
In the first game if you had played the lord and tapped down he may have blocked preventing more damage than you did by not playing it until after combat. Not a punt, just a bluff!
Mister Covert I am new to the Chanel and to MTG. I came from Rarran's Chanel and I was wording is their a video that you recommend to watch for getting into mtg
If you want some advice from a random: download Arena and play it. The tutorial is excellent. I'll admit I wasn't new to the game when I did that, but I hadn't played in literally 20 years.
I'm shocked you're not doing boardwipe tribal. My Tajic is running every 1-2 mana rock, every nonexile board wipe, and every counter spell i can run. Run out Tajic or a high power card as fast as possible. Destroy everything the opponent plays.
Honestly, the alchemy cards don't bother me as much as the rebalances. The alchemy cards are busted but the rebalanced cards get twisted with the real cards in my brain. Timeless brawl when?
Please, please wizards make a historic brawl option for people that want nothing to do with alchemy. Until then, all I can do is hand out free wins whenever I run into an alchemy card because I refuse to play against it

CGBrawl is my favorite thing to watch ngl
If you want real Brawl check out the new G A Z A deck
Yep
hands down
Literally my nighttime lullabies
True
Laelia: “but they have the One Ring. What can I do?”
Bonecrusher: *Kicks Laelia at opponent*
Bonecrusher Giant says "Imma punch myself in the face to KO you!"
So today I learned about the bonecrusher giant trick against the one ring and now I'm putting it in every single deck that can have it, thanks cgb
Yeah, it's why I've considered for ages putting it in all my decks, Questing Beast as well.
"Can't" always wins. Run Bone Crusher!
*opponent plays The One Ring*
Bonecrusher Giant: and I took that personally....
Possibly the most busted 3 drop you can curve into Tajic with is Savior of Ollenbock. Just about an automatic win if it doesn't get removed the first turn it comes down.
I think I do own a full set of those. Never found any exciting use for them though. Thanks for the tip.
i dig the amazonian call!! i love both of your brawl videos ❤❤
24:05 I feel like if CGB didn't have to worry about copyright there was an opportunity to queue up Iron Maiden's "Trooper"
Given the amount of keywords Tajic puts onto the battlefield, I'm really surprised not to see Odric, Lunarch Marshal in the decklist. Maybe you forgot about him, but he seems perfect for this deck to me.
Yeah, I did run him in my version of the deck. Got me quite a lot of turn 4 kills.
Some guy crushed me with a voltron version of this deck. There was nothing I could do if I wasn't in the right colors because of indestructible.
The win against Fynn felt SO GOOD!

DAMAGE CAN’T BE PREVENTED THIS TURN 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥😩😩🗣️🗣️🗣️💯💯💯💯
I think the coolest trick is you can stifle the chance for Glory lose the game and your creatures PERMANENTLY HAVE INDESTRUCTIBLE
I play all board wipes, targetted removal and protection for tajic. Works great.
See, that's the insane thing about Tajic. He's so good that you can even run him in control as a beatdown card.
I played against a version of this where they did nothing but board wipe. Fun stuff
"BOROS LEGION, ATTACK!"
Thanks for the support CGB
This deck has been the bane of my existence on Brawl
I played against this deck with my BG spider deck and I killed the opponents angel that allowed me to play small creatures from the graveyard. The opponent conceded because I just kept gaining life
LETS GOOOOO NEW INTO THAT DOESNT SHATTER MY EARDRUMS ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Took this list and swapped out Benalish Knight-Counselor for the Hopeful Initiate and Homestead Courage for Mana Tithe

That bone crusher play probably got them scratching their head
not rotating standard was a mistake

HB with CGB is great, for the next standard video could we see some Kylox's Voltstrider
Ok, I'm watching an Alchemy commander video... Things I do for my favourite color pair 🤍❤
i used this Tajic in Brawl a few weeks ago he was absurdly good,
We worship the CGB
omg its the mesa falcon guy!
Bruh I have fought so many of that dam commander in the last week is crazy. I have two decks specifically design to destroy that commander.
I no longer play red or blue. I feel like a basic bitch when I do. Direct damage and counter spells are for the weak.
Using bone crusher giant's little known "damage can't be prevented this turn" clause is genius. High IQ Boros indeed!
CKB "Cool Kid Brawlers"
12:06 I don’t know if this interaction works, but can Siege Veteran trigger after Tajic to put a +1/+1 counter on Swiftblade Vindicator?
No. Targets are chosen at the trigger moment, so while it can go on the stack after, the new creature is not on the board at that time.
I live for these brawl videos

Hey! im beginner in the game, would you can make somthing abour rakdos please?
Missing the odric, lunarch marshal. With the second summon it just destroys the board
Call the brawl fans your, "Bar Brawlers" and make your schtick all about "raising the bar" in brawl.
How do you determine what gets precedence when one card says “you can’t take damage this turn” and the other says “damage can’t be prevented”?
If the cards said that, then you wouldn't take damage. But they don't.
Protection says, amongst other things, "prevent all damage that objects with the stated quality would deal [to the object or player with protection]". The damage restriction from protection is a prevention effect. That's why an effect that says that damage can't be prevented overrides it.

Just came back to magic after 10 years in the form of mtg arena...is it wrong I only want to play historic brawl lol
No. You're welcome.
Nah brawl feels like a creative and fun gamemode, I'm having a lot of fun exploring wild ideas I get.
It's all I played for a long time. Recently I've picked up a Standard deck I like, but I'll probably go back to just Brawl when that deck rotates out.
As long as you don't play the top tier commanders, it's really fun! Otherwise, I hope you enjoy playing against the endless piles of removaltribal.dec
Didnt know they changed the name to brawl

Finally, some respect on Tajic's name.
He's definitely over developed, but man is he fun.
Your historic brawl videos are so entertaining
I think you had too many top end cards in the deck. You often needed more small cards or spells. Of the 10 cards with 4 or more mana, you played 1-2?
35:32 satisfaction

bit of a typo in the title, should say "ruined by"
Shufflers rigged, it knows letting a control mage win with a boros deck would set a bad precedent 😂😂
i feel like its been a while you should do a updated teferi deck in brawl
btw, Teferi (the Hero of Dominaria one) got his old voice back somewhere between recent updates. And that voice is MUCH better.
In the first game if you had played the lord and tapped down he may have blocked preventing more damage than you did by not playing it until after combat. Not a punt, just a bluff!
CovertGoPew FTW 🙌 💯
Brawl is fantastic....as is CGB's confoundedness at how Boros wins against him, but wilts against other decks.
Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, is such a stupid card. If a card ever was banned worthy then it is that one.
