I like how you quickly and quietly mentioned that you were ignoring common sense to make this deck work in the challenge. =P Definitely not complaining. Looks fun as hell, but the acknowledgement was great. XD
I played one yesterday! Most difficult games I had... Need to rethink my deck. :-) It is based on self milling + Jace and counters/unsummon. Magic mirror does the game by itself. Doesn't work well, but it is funny IF you survive till magic mirror. ;-) Have a nice day
wow, I haven't been excited this much about any deck in a big while. I played izzet phoenix before M20 dropped and I found it to be not that good anymore since, but I love the namesake card and this seems to have even more potential for those turbo phoenix reanimations that I love. you rule, CGB!
You should consider putting Devious Coverup in the deck, to reshuffle the chills back into your library (esp. if you had to discard them). Cool idea for a deck!
Those matches are intense! And no worries about adding other colors in the theme. Yeah, iM with that it still feels like Beta mainly because of the performance issues of the game.
I’ve seen lists playing watery grave over mystic sanctuary and I think that’s right. It casts Creeping Chill, and all of Discovery/Dispersal, and sanctuary coming in tapped a lot hurts.
I've played both the "monoblue" and "UBR" versions of this deck a ton and blue-mana-only seems like the way to go. You'd probably want to run at least some Mystic Sanctuary anyway even if adding Watery Grave, and there are very few instances when hardcasting Creeping Chill will come up and that has to be balanced against the much more frequent shocks you'll take with Watery Grave. Also, you'll literally never use the Dispersal half.
@@HelloWorld-hy9xq There's nothing contrary in your response - I think we agree. That's exactly why I said the shocks are more relevant than hardcasting Creeping Chill.
My mind's telling me "mono" decks should only have blue cards in them, but my body's telling me I've really enjoyed this video! Looks like body wins this time :)
Drowned secrets is the wrong enchantment to go all in on. Swapping out for the enhanced surveillance and dazzling lights in aggro match ups will get you in there lol
The planes walker "Power Creep" problem can easily be solved by allowing instants to be played before they can tick up!! Fry could then kill Oko. Tef not always bounce and replace itself etc. It would put plane walkers back in their place and really open up new decks. If u ban fields dead Oko will be in 70% of Meta. No Variety.
Seth Manfield was playing the deck in Top 10 Mythic (Bo3) the other day and went as high as #3 if I remember correctly. Seems to be kinda competitive actually.
but if you have to cast maximize altitude on an enemy creature to reanimate phoenix, you're giving the opponent a flying blocker that most likely trades for phoenix lol. and deck only has like 2 creatures besides phoenix
in my experience, putting four creeping chills in the deck is a good way to guarantee you'll draw four creeping chills every single game
LOL. When you were talking about people freaking out you typed out "chill" in the search bar.
nice.
“My challenge my rules” own those haters ninja
Calling this "mono blue" is technically correct. The best kind of correct
jmcrofts hahahahaha
holy crap my non-fighting game hobby has been breached by the fgc
Lmao funny seeing a fighting game player playing card games too

That creeping chill managed to creep in each of your starting hands! :-o
Yes definitely we want the magic mirror deck

This was fun to watch. I have experienced similar issues with creeping chill always drawing it instead of milling with my golgari deck..
"u better check yo self before u deck yo self"
Ice Cube feat Cgb
Awesome deck concept. Now I wanna play it.
One of the funniest video ever on your channel man 😂

im loving this series btw, great stuff.
0:39 Hold me close, I'm tiny dancer.
love it when people play off-color stuff in decks. also a big fan of off-color reanimator targets

Great Job! "BUT CGB?!?!?!, this is supposed to be..." best line :)
26:08 I wanted to concede the game
The first 6 minutes of this video are genius.
I like how you still think mtga is still in beta lol. Also sad that it's been released with Throne of Eldraine but still performs LIKE beta.
It feels like its in a worse state now that it was released
Dude, you sang Alter Bridge! One of my favorite bands :)
I crafted this deck and man is it hilarious. Just pulled a win out against improbable alliance + Niv-Mizzet, the meme is alive and well!
Great vid CGB!
those creeping chills are out to get you cgb lol
Tell'em CGB. Your rules. "Is that a blue card? No it's not." Hahaha
it's the beginning of the video... calling it now, tapped land is gonna bite you
Something like a Cavalier of Gales could put the Creeping Chills back on top
I think CGB opted not to because it's a bit expensive to cast. And he needed as many cheap spells to cast to trigger the Arclights consistently.
@@ShinDongJi true, though I'd probably only run one, maybe two, since the deck has so much draw
Cgb: "lets go deeper"
Thats what she said.
Reminds me of the Laboratory Maniac days. I really miss Hakeem928.
Raymond Owen agree. Hakeem was a heck of a brewer.

On the contrary, taplands aren’t great by any means, and the deck is very active on the first 3 turns.
@@HelloWorld-hy9xq There's nothing contrary in your response - I think we agree. That's exactly why I said the shocks are more relevant than hardcasting Creeping Chill.
Sanctuary is a tapland more often than watery grave, at least that’s how I feel.
My mind's telling me "mono" decks should only have blue cards in them, but my body's telling me I've really enjoyed this video! Looks like body wins this time :)
I really enjoyed those phoenixes coming back
Amazing display vs that life gain deck cgb!
Drowned secrets is the wrong enchantment to go all in on. Swapping out for the enhanced surveillance and dazzling lights in aggro match ups will get you in there lol
Such a nice deck! I wanted to try it myself and was so excited to do so...
Ran into turn 3 ashiok in the first game :(
tragic
Your actor play is amazing xD
Nice deck. Like the strategy
50:15 nice Alter Bridge reference
I dont mind still mono blue to me :) such a creative and cool deck, u got some credits popularizing it too, ty

why not replace the Opt with consider?
8:10 ir probably doesn't make any difference, but you could have played untapped island here, and untapped sanctuary next turn
Checkere check yo'self before you deck yo'self
Midnight Clock would do good here, just in case there is still opponent left at the end of the deck!
those were some pepehands creeping chills man
Seth Manfield was playing the deck in Top 10 Mythic (Bo3) the other day and went as high as #3 if I remember correctly. Seems to be kinda competitive actually.
This one list ?
@@Malfuuu yeah, only difference is that he was playing watery grave instead of mystic sanctuary so he could hard cast the creeping chills if need be
Thank you, I'll search if I find some footage ;)
This was an awesome deck, loved it, so ramdom. I might not be able to play it thou, fenix not going to be around for long I suppose
I was watching some pro matches and this guy ran this! Some watery graves would help imo in case you draw like you have
8:00 I’ll tell you what you want, what you really really want, you really really wanna turn 3 phoenix
huh I saw very similar deck with dimir shell in the 12 wins challenge, but it had 2 Jaces
before yo wreck yo self
This deck is awesome fun
but if you have to cast maximize altitude on an enemy creature to reanimate phoenix, you're giving the opponent a flying blocker that most likely trades for phoenix lol. and deck only has like 2 creatures besides phoenix
Unless its a tapped creature or you Unsummon it
That chip damage versus the life gain deck
I just faced this deck on ladder... wasnt a good time honestly
Crazy but awesome
I was hating on this deck hardcore during the into. Not the best ever but fun and funny as hell! Keep it up CGB.
Where IS jayce 😞
when mono g stompy tho
next week!
Oh wow I feel dumb now for shitposting lol. Thanks for the reply!
CovertGo"Mono""Blue(ish)"
Ignoring common sense, sounds sensible.
Great deck CGB, keep it up.
I see this video and By the title I am at a fault to how this is mono blue
I Love your Deck Intro. CGB its not Blue 😂😂
With Mtga I don't trust the rng enough to run any deck reliably let alone play a self mill deck with non castables
You better deck yo self before I deck myself (8) (?
no Jace disliked unsubbed reported to RUclips filed a court case REEEEEEE
chill. LOL
dredge is dead yet
MTG Arena don't like this deck lol Tried it but always draw the "dredge" spells
You will for the most part with those 2 cards being the top of your mana curve and the way arena sets up your opening hands /:
LOL. Test in on ranked when competent people with real decks play. You are beating preconstructed decks gifted by the game.
Why? I am not here to prove anything to you. I will play where I want to. Anyone can play mythic, it means nothing to me
@@covertgoblue dude chilll , I was actually asking to see it in real action. Why are you crying already? what a bitch
