22:50 I think Wizards agrees. Part of their plan for "revitalizing standard" article was to design more mechanical throughlines for the sets so decks would be more "UB Demons", "UG Food" and less "Color Goodstuff"
This was one of the best videos lately. It had intro and you seemingly had a lot of fun playing, to the point of "excitment misplays"which I totally love.
Beating Gruul Prowess by decking them, swinging for two less than lethal, and then Unholy pinging for two is probably the most FU thing I’ve ever seen on Arena
I floodpit drowner'ed a guy to death with his archfiend of the dross lol. Him desperately digging for a way to kill his own creature was hilarious...highly recommend 😂
I remember when almost everybody reviewing the cards from Duskmourne said Doomsday Excrutiator is a terrible card that noone is going to play. How the turns have tabled
That match against Boros aggro… typically you’d be fine after killing their third creature cause they don’t run many and once you kill the third they scoop. In this case opponent draw a couple more creatures than the average and one or two fewer lands. The problem with this deck is the lack of board wipes. At least in Bo1.
I know I’m late to the world coverages, I’ve been slowly watching the 24hours of content this week, but I had successfully avoided spoiling myself the outcome UNTIL this video was posted god damn it ahhhhh curse you CGB ahahahah
I've recently noticed a strange occurrence: often, when watching CGB videos, my wildcards mysteriously disappear. I wonder if anyone else has has this issue... ;) Thanks for the entertainment.
CGB, I'm really glad you are still here. I would love to see you against me again like few years ago. Also I hope you make it to top 1 one day :´) Love the content, love the personality, love your decks you play
For me the Game is at its best when it is a back and forth which midrange battles can provide. It is a bit problematic if it becomes too grindy. New players become probably overwhelmed when games take 30+ min. It is good when Decks like this one can end games quick.
Its been years since I last played arena but your videos are still great entertainment, funny how often you or the opponent can get mana screwed in arena compared to irl.
I came back after a week of not playing MTGA yesterday, and I played four matches of Bo3 standard, and all four opponents were playing this deck. I'm playing four-color Atraxa and I just lose :)
Had an oppo.... ROPING ME 30 min... full control in my turns and so on... I had the demon and jace in hand... i just wanted to see his anger 😂😂😂 realmbreaker is no joke alot of fun in this and vs black it even mana fixes ❤😂
So this deck won a bo3 championship. I would expect it to do better in standard but I don’t think it does. Am I correct in this assessment? It seems “pretty good” based on this video. Thoughts?? I think the b/w reanimation desk is stronger based on your last video for bo1
Magic is a game that is HIGLY influenced by its meta, so even a deck played in an important event by a skilled player could end up being average on the ladder. I have a similiar impression with regards to its power level (I've also checked other versions). In my opinion, in bo1 this deck should be mono blue or blue with a black splash and include the Enigma Jewel + Vault + Reenact the Crime package. Especially once the new blue Settle the Wreckage from Foundations will be available.
Yo I wonder if the soundtrack for the bloomburrow board is from "a soundtrack to an ordinary life" it could just be a muzak thing but the xylophone is so similar (probably just cause thats how glockenspiel's sound)
I get so angry at this game so often. It's like the other player draws perfectly what they need all the time... but that never happens to me. If I'm top decking you better believe it's 10 straight lands.
Midrange and Control are both bad for new players, since its hard to understand initially how all the little decisions come together to make a deck powerful. It does seem like a bad idea thought to make all of Standard typal and aggro decks. Can Wizards just make better starter decks and do that more often. They are trying to do something like it with magic foundations, and most other card games have intro decks that you buy and then upgrade.
Man, aura decks having literally only one wincon, and also literally 90% of the times drawing the perfect wincon is the most stupid thing i have ever seen in my life.
What do you mean its hard to explain midrange??? "Hey dude, look at this! Big fucking dinosaurs! Big numbers!" It's 10 times harder to ever explain control and why exactly anyone should be excited about sitting with 7 cards in hand while playing nothing for most of the game. Midrange is by far the most appealing way to get new players into magic, cause big monsters is something any noob can understand
@@bughouse26 super niche ones. Torpor orb might handicap your own deck. Stone brain is also a very specific one that requires you to know what you are up against first. The cruelclaw heist only works if they have it in hand This is just too hard to counter. Leyline before the nerf was easier to counter

Then you should see me getting mana screwed or flooded by arena every other game.
Probably a bigger FU, lol
@ okay
Meathook was as evil if not worse
It's not about winning, but sending a message ;)
That was a brutal finish at 21:20. The deck out on top of the attack K.O was just 😮.
Not only is your gameplay legendary but your sponsors are on point as well. Thanks for being awesome to watch.
CGB is doing such a good job tutoring us about this demon deck he is about to search his library for any card to put into his hand.
43:00 I was screaming at my screen. Thanks for the laugh.

I never built anything which has only been "proven" good in a video.
Since Javier Dominguez won Worlds again this year, can we expect the RETURN OF FERVENT CHAMPION NEXT YEAR?? 😂
I'll give a thumbs up for every time you drop intros and outros now!
BTW congrats on all those signatures and custom cards. I know it meant the world to you.
The first time I got hit with this combo, I face palmed. I was playing a mono black deck. I just couldn’t do anything about it.
if I ever go to an event I'm 100% following CGB into the bathroom. by popular request.
I was so excited when Javier Domínguez double Jaced for the win!
21:23 beautiful, I will show this to my grandchildren.

I don't mind getting defeated, except by the shuffler.
7:56 I was almost: who are you, and what have you done with CGB?!
Its been years since I last played arena but your videos are still great entertainment, funny how often you or the opponent can get mana screwed in arena compared to irl.
I was the one in the server tryna make shadowborn excruciator haha glad to see someone beat me to a better version
3 times in a row I have flooded with this deck, 10 lands in top 15
That sucks, I'm sorry. Remember, every deck has only a 50% chance to win. The rest belongs to the shuffler.
My man is getting revenge after all the turn-3 loses against mono red with leyiline
I've been running deck and ohh its so much fun!
I came back after a week of not playing MTGA yesterday, and I played four matches of Bo3 standard, and all four opponents were playing this deck. I'm playing four-color Atraxa and I just lose :)
I had a game earlier today where my opponent mulligan'd to 4 cards. I felt like I was a bully. xD
I love both the shows
I loved all of the Mastermind plays
thank you for this outro, from France
Last was funny good job on the games keep up the good work
@CovertGoBlue very important to remember, restless reef can help mill you opponent out when they are at 6 card left!!!!!!!!!!!!
Toadstool Admirer is mucho meta now??? Armadillos could also work for sheltered by the ghost platforms.
Deliciously evil deck very nice
Had an oppo.... ROPING ME 30 min... full control in my turns and so on...
I had the demon and jace in hand... i just wanted to see his anger 😂😂😂 realmbreaker is no joke alot of fun in this and vs black it even mana fixes ❤😂

It's a good deck for a specific top event. In arena, it's not that great.
That’s My impression based on this video. Above average, not dominant deck for bo1 arena

I, for one, welcome our new UB control overlords.
...better than dying turn 3 to mono-red anyway
'Why are aggro players like this' he asks, about securing the kill, after milling someone's entire deck *and* reducing them to zero.
Doomsday is always such a cool finisher
No mono red brings him so much joy.
Pretty good deck! 😊
My god is this deck cool!
You rock!!
Like for the intro!
that ward deck is absurd lol
i love you man . i hope you are a happy camper
Heck yeah!
Unfortunate we didn't get to see how good the deck actually is
I love all the gameplay ❤
Someday I might go to a Magic con
Annex the best card since Fable
Both CGB and Crim did the same video today lol
Ward is such a pain lol
Sheltered by ghosts was a design mistake
DECK TECH DECK TECH DECK TECH
Unholy Anex/Ritual Chamber is such a broken card but i love playing it
You´re cool !
UB? In standard?! _triggered_
I would never cancel my crunchyroll 😡
Rac Sac is definitely good and more than a gimmick. But it's definitely more a Bo3 deck.
Did a lot of people get sick at MagicCon?
14:23 🤣
So where is the missing four cards?
Day 3 of asking to brew a deck around the card food fight. I love this card its really "flavourful"
killing opp by deck out then by LPs back to back is diabolical
Am I crazy or does it seem like all his problems could be solved by replacing STS with Nowhere to Run?
I get so angry at this game so often. It's like the other player draws perfectly what they need all the time... but that never happens to me. If I'm top decking you better believe it's 10 straight lands.

Bo1 is toxic and will change how magic card design is created for years to come.
I like this deck but it's better in best of three. Not adapted for best of one
So the deck in bo1 is just like every other deck, says a lot about bo1.
Covertgosponsor this time is too scripted
Kinda lame when all you can do against it is have a counterspell or you lose. Decks that don't allow counterplay need to be removed from standard.
There are other answers aside from counterspell. Torpor Orb, Stone Brain, Cruelclaw's Heist, Binding Negotiation come to mind.
Hearthstone players: First time?
@@bughouse26 super niche ones. Torpor orb might handicap your own deck. Stone brain is also a very specific one that requires you to know what you are up against first.
The cruelclaw heist only works if they have it in hand
This is just too hard to counter. Leyline before the nerf was easier to counter
when this dude at the commander table, everyone will ally against him....should deliberately play weak decks....unless you want everyone an an enemy
Sorry man. UB now stands for something else.
these decks are so scummy >.
I see people aren't complaining since he got the decklist up🤣🤣🤣 smh
Why would they since it was no intros they were complaining about?
Javier looks like a tweaker and this deck is trash without its sideboard
People also have to realize that they are building decks to combat other pros and their decks. So these are highly specialized decks that can’t cover the broad variety found in Bo1.
But let’s be real, no deck can do that in Bo1. It’s all about what you have fun playing.
