    I am a daily follower of your content and have been for a couple years now. This is the first video of yours that I have watched 3 times in a row because it was just so fun to see you have so much fun. Great job CGGandalf.

    I could easily watch three more hours of cgb playing this deck. Synergy between each card and oracle of the alpha adding the power nine multiple times make it very fun to watch.
    Also, that gandalf and mox artifacts synergy was the cherry on the top.

    @spencernoble6824 Год назад +40

    I love hoe excited CGB got playing this deck. The small synergies of Soul Partition, Divine Purge and Reprieve, combined with One Ring, Fragment, Oracle and Soul Partition make the deck incredibly fun to watch. The Lord of the Rings Books are my jam, and its this kind of enthusiasm that fills me with the kind of joy I felt exploring that world.

  • @Thickolas
    @Thickolas Год назад +17

    One of the things I like about occasional alchemy content is that when cards are new and the format is unfamiliar, you see people make misplays and misinterpret cards way more often. It makes each turn seem a bit more unpredictable and less rote

    Imagine playing standard with monored aggro and soldiers, instead of alchemy with dimir power9 and orzhov knights. Absolute lunacy.

    I've been playing MTG since 93' and on Arena for years. As a fellow control player, I've stuck to Standard and avoided Alchemy... until this deck. This is the most fun I've had paying Magic in years. You pulled me over to the dark side CGB! Thanks for an amazing deck.

  • @RiKSh4w
    @RiKSh4w Год назад +1

    So The Ring is busted, as we all kinda expected. But I think the big takeaway here is the great interaction between Divine Purge and Reprieve. In alchemy/historic, Purge's perpetual cost increase barely mattered because the second time it came down it went to the yard and was never cast again. But by reprieving it you're making them pay extra again.

      Its not really that alchemy is a lot more powerful, is that control is pretty good there, and its unplayable in standard. Aggro/midrange decks aren't that different from standard.
