4 out of 18 Historic Brawl videos this month have had paradox engine. Comments “EVERY DECK IS THE SAME PARADOX ENGINE DECK” This is why I won’t listen to such comments. They too dumb 😅
I don't know why people are mad at it. Do they even play in hell queue with its Kinnan 50% of the time? Hell that is a card that is way more answer or lose. But yeah whatever, keep up the good job man.
@@scales8768 ikr tho like he even puts this in the comments and people still complain about it, like dude it’s legit one of the best win ons in cHB why wouldn’t you play it?
Combo deck videos are always boring since they end the same way. Your videos like the gruul intensity commander are much better Paradox Engine is just bad content. The point is that even if it is only 4 out of 18 decks, every game in those videos is aiming to end/does end exactly the same way. It's like you always said that people would turn off videos when Rogues appeared, Paradox Engine has the same effect on some of us. It was banned in Commander for essentially being boring for the other players and leading to non-deterministic combos. I get why you play it. It's the best and by far the easiest combo to pull of in hell queue since all it needs are spells + mana rocks (and isn't that literally every deck?) but let's not pretend like it is fun to watch. Just my two cents.
I gotta say man, there's a lotta reasons why I love your content. The insight, the play lines, the wit... But my favorite has to be the references. From MCR to 90s pop music, to Monty Python, they all hit me right in the nostalgia buttons. Love ya man.
That Jin-Gitaxias Prismatiok Briadge game was CGB practicing how NOT to lose when playing, approximately, that deck in about a thousand more subscribers.
Is this a…paradox engine deck? On CGB’s cHB series? No, that can’t be right. I must’ve misread the decklist. Edit: I should clarify: I’m all for it. I love any CGB combo content, Engine included.
Hey, that was against my terrible Esika deck I had zero intentions of ever using the bridge side! I just wanted to play my bard class and gruul smash face.
I play an Emry deck where I didn't have the commons and uncommons to actually have good cards, so I normally just pop off and then scoop to farewell or something. Its a shit ton of fun though (I say this as a Spike).
i love the ad at the end where youre going "phyrexia's going to obliterate the multiverse blablablah" and in the background it's like the sims build/buy background music
Ah Emry, my biggest HB love. I stumbled upon you while you were preparing this video. But you scooped maybe because of the mirror. Man I felt so disapointed xd. But as I saw you were playing Emry, I couldn't wait to see what you would post.
I may be sick to death of paradox engine decks but it's nice to see cgb happy playing magic. If he wants to spend his vacation playing paradox then so be it haha
Hi CGB, please can you do a series of budget brawl decks? I have watched you for over a year now as a new player my card depth is not worthy for historic brawl.. I would like to play but can’t afford the crafts, would love to see a few budget decks.. If you fancy it haha..
One piece of advice I can give you from when I started, is find commanders that aren't in the higher queues, and you can build a decent deck with mostly uncommon and commons, and slowly add pieces to make it better, eventually making it so you can begin to play the higher tiers. I feel like WOTC would make it way more popular of a format if they made it so you could combine say like 5 uncommons to get a gold card that could only be used for HB, it would make it way more accessable for people to get into
Would recommend building a mono-colour deck that's high on instants and sorceries (since there are a bunch of commons and uncommons). A good example is mono-red burn! Otherwise, you can also try a commander like Gix, Yawgmoth's Praetor since you can slam a bunch of common evasive creatures and discard spells and rely on the commander's draw engine. Generally speaking, any mono-colour commander that powers up draft chaff is a good way to go budget wise.
Well before I played with paradox engine (because no wild cards), I thought the deck was good but the more I played with it, the more I lost games I could've won with Engine and especially mirrors because, well, no paradox engine. So you start to realize that if there is 1 Paradox Engine deck, well this is Emry. The deck would be weaker and would have to rely on mana cheat and board value. My version without the engine used big Mythics artifact creatures like wurmcoil engine or meteor golem for top end. So yeah the deck would be viable but weaker. Also, Paradox Engine is banned in Commander but the deck is still viable and pretty good (no top tier ofc, thank god we don't have partners yet), and that is because Emry has acces to other cards that allows her to combo and pop off still with no engine. So yeah, if Engine is banned, I hope they at least gives us so cards from the commander deck to still be able to do some crazy combo.
Hey guys. I want to start playing historic brawl. What’s a good deck to go in with off the bat? I kinda like the blue white style but don’t necessarily want to play in hell queue. Also liked the crucias deck from yesterday.
teferi who slows the sunset doesn't seem to be in the hell que, so u can probably just take CGB's deck and change it over. I run my own very different version with no counterspells and does pretty well against any non-heavy counterspell decks (Just a personal challenge to not play with a bunch of solve everything counterspells).
Most control-oriented UW commanders are either in hell queue or in semi-hell queue. You could give Dennick, Lavinia, or Vega a try, altho those are weaker and require a lot more build around (which is why they aren't in hell queue). Otherwise if you don't mind branching into other colors but still want to have a roughly control theme, Queza, Atris, Iymrith, Ashiok are some of the options you could try, or in general just any lesser-known commander in the colors you want that offers some kind of card advantage.
Appreciate all the masterful HB play the last few weeks! I dont miss standard one bit. HB/commander has all the depth of the 60 card formats with even more design space. I really wish we could get a ranked version, and tournaments on the client. What's rotating out of stan again? 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤣🤣
I feel the same way man, HB is my jam since a while now. But as for you, I don't feel rewarded the same way as I do when I play standard, there is no sense of progression throughout the ladder and rewards at the end of the month, so that is a first issue. Also, I asked the same question as you did on reddit for "y u no ranked HB?" and the answers were pretty logic. First because Wotc doesn't want to make it a competitive format, as they have the same policy for Commander. And so this is why we have like these 3 queues, meaning trashy/experimental queue, normal queue and hell queue where you can enjoy playing your deck vs other decks at the same power level. But if there was a ranked system, well good luck trying to rank up with every Kinnan in the world and their mothers being able to compete with everyone else. Strengh disparity would be too damn high. So I don't have an answer to that problem, but I hope it helps you.
I think doing the ratchet bomb like you said around 49 minutes doesn't work because either you cast bauble before it and don't have a spell to cast after engine, or you bomb first and emry won't be untapped to retrieve the engine. Plan B of getting all your lands and drawing enough to have good odds of finding patchwork +swiftfoot boots probably wins though
You could run like 8-10 copies of Persistent Petitioners and loop mishras bauble with various tutors and copy effects (obviously engine too), and then play a pseudo lantern control deck
I made some slight changes lol I added a ashnod's altar, some cost reducers (cloud key, semblance anvil ect) and a aeatherflux as well as a tormod's crypt to halt reanimator decks .
I’ve stop playing MTGA because standard and such. Being new, not very versed in paradox engine but liking blue, any suggestion for a historic brawl deck?
Shrines is fun and since it’s rainbow you can start cheap and replace cards as you earn better cards. The shrines, besides the commander and the 5 color one, are mostly uncommon
Hi CGB Nice deck, I have noticed that this deck have poor card selection for what it want's to do. Have You considered adding Artificer;s Assistant and Corridor Monitor(the Monitor does not work on itself but can shine with spellbomb, Ububle, etc)?
Find a fun legend or planeswalker and find a strategy or general game plan for them. Jam a bunch of creatures and spells that work with that strategy in with enough ramp and card draw to glue things together. Add some removal and/or sweepers depending on your strategy, and make sure to have a finisher or two. Don’t skimp on lands :p
Loving the HB content, very cool. made me understand why blue is such a no fun color. Also paradox cringine. Keep it up with the brewing maybe you can find some weird but effective anti meta stuff
Why does all leaving? Like to see the combo played till the end, not only in theorie. @CovertGoBlue: Is it possible that you make videos, playing with friends where you play all of your creat combos till the end? This coould be another type of a video-row ( diffrent combos played out)

@Josh Hafer Good. If someone doesn't want to watch something then they shouldn't. Maybe they found content creators that won't make them cry.
Hey, that was against my terrible Esika deck I had zero intentions of ever using the bridge side! I just wanted to play my bard class and gruul smash face.
You should think about switching to Jegantha then. Still five color, still taps for lots of mana, but well outside of hell queue.
I play an Emry deck where I didn't have the commons and uncommons to actually have good cards, so I normally just pop off and then scoop to farewell or something. Its a shit ton of fun though (I say this as a Spike).
Man, that prismatic bridge game was intense! Thanks for giving it your all and powering through the durdle.
You know I just HAD to leave a like for the MTGRemy reference at 13:05. Good stuff, Mr. Go Blue!
Man that first Esika Game tho. Sad that they scooped would have loved to see it play out.
im really not into historic brawl because i have no idea what half of the cards do but that game against the prismatic bridge was freaking amazing 👍👍👍
13:05 "ratchet bomb has got it going on"
for some reason it makes me very happy that CGB watches MTGRemy

Omg this bridge deck is giving me flashbacks.

„Ratchet Bomb has got it going on“ - what a meta reference.

He knows it might seem wrong, but he will crack that Ratchet Bomb!
Your literaly the only magic content creator that i can watch without getting bored. keep up the good work!!!
I would like see him play HB with vannifar, one of my favorites commanders

Wouldn't Emry be tapped still if you cast Bauble after blowing up the engine/bolas?
Should add some big toppers like ulamog or that 7 mana artifact that destroys a permanent, can recycle it by sending them back to hand.
