at 27:14 i think the best play would have been zenith flare face, then cycle the fox after the tormod's crypt hability resolved and try to find another cycle spell. same at 28:17
I saw that line, too, but it's risky of course. Given how doomed the game looked, probably worth going for since it was basically over if he didn't have multiple cycling cards on top of his library anyway
28:18 200 IQ play here is to turn on full control - cast the flare - opponent puts crypt on stack - crypt resolves - cycle twice (have to get lucky and cycle into another non-land which you did) and then flare resolves with 2 cycle cards in graveyard. GG you win.
Day 2 of also wanting you to play the Dream Trawler, Magic Mirror, and Teferi's Ageless Insight deck that other dude wants so that he can stop suffering. If you're that guy, you should check out CGB's viewer deck day and try to throw him a list!
Don't stress too much homie, the best promos are the ones that demonstrate the glaring flaws in a product I for one downloaded the assistant immediately afterwards
Good ol' CGG Covert Go Green. As annoying as cycling can be it was very enjoyable watching you pilot the deck and min/maxing it. Keep up the awesome content!
missed lethal at 27:07. You should have pointed flare at face, they use the crypt but then you cycle, draw a cycle, and cycle all in response to your own flare
@@drbum-ne2fg Because I know that deck already I like cgb because he shows me a lot of new decks and since I just started playing mostly everything he shows I never seen. This is the first time I already know the deck.
I love when cycling players hold mana on your turn. What are they gonna do? Oh... cycle! What a huge surprise. The only reason would be to cycle once per turn for Rescuer, but they do it even when they don't have it on the board.
tnx for all your many decks...i started in mtg back in the alpha/beta days...and now i don't have the money to play wiith the heavy hitters....tnx again
Missed lethal at 27:14, BUT with high risk move. Cast Zenith Flare first, then after they sac the crypt but before the flare resolves, cycle the Fox and go from there. You drew another cycling card after that. Know it comes from hindsight, but it is an out
If anyone is looking for it, the land he mentioned around 5:40 or so is Wind-Scarred Crag. Windswept Heath is a fetchland, so yeah, you won't find it and it would be a rare wildcard.
I like to run the secret embercleave combo in here, as a back up win con with the 🦊. Also switch some of the blue/black for the lifelink cycle and the destroy artifact cycling card as well. As adventure decks are everywhere in the M21 format.
High iq plan, love the embercleave Idea lmaooo. I used to run raking claws in the deck when I first started playing it and it caught opponents off guard and won the game sometimes when they got hit with a double fox on turn 4 or 5
i don’t play cycling after the fires ban. before fires you could turn 5 win with repeated reverberation and zenith flare. i also played tamiyo to find the pieces and to recur zenith flares
I was The Abbot (adventure deck) and just wanted to say I’m a big fan and was really fun playing against you (didn’t know it was possible either, I’m from Italy). Keep up the good work, smash those red mages and drop the cycle stuff :P Salute from Italy
I played a version with Reptilian Reflection, Raking Claws, Snare Tactician and Zenith which gives 2x Win Con (not sure if it's 2021 legal?). I love coming up against mill with a Zenith in the opening hand as they do most of the work for you!
Been ranking up with Sultai Mill that I made and it has been SUPER consistent at beating cycling and adventure (unless they get a god hand). Simple concept, Deck 4 Solemn Simulacrum (M21) 239 4 Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath (THB) 229 1 Soul-Guide Lantern (THB) 237 4 Forest (UST) 216 4 Peer into the Abyss (M21) 117 4 Teferi's Tutelage (M21) 78 3 Brazen Borrower (ELD) 39 2 Teferi, Master of Time (M21) 75 3 Llanowar Visionary (M21) 193 2 Drown in the Loch (ELD) 188 3 Extinction Event (IKO) 88 3 Heartless Act (IKO) 91 4 Fabled Passage (M21) 246 1 Castle Vantress (ELD) 242 1 Castle Locthwain (ELD) 241 1 Temple of Malady (M21) 253 1 Temple of Deceit (THB) 245 1 Temple of Mystery (M20) 255 1 Temple of Mystery (M21) 254 2 Zagoth Triome (IKO) 259 6 Island (UST) 213 5 Swamp (UST) 214 Been trying some other things. Probably a good idea to throw a murderous rider in there for planeswalker removal or pestilent haze. Just ramp up to 7 and win with card advantage and the inevitable mill with Peer. If any of you have suggestions to possibly improve the deck let me know. I have won most of the games I've played since making the deck (70% win rate).
To be fair its an excellent deck for new players on a budget they can build it quickly enough and get themselves some wins then move on to something better
Its a nice deck if they want to grab some wins but I know myself I've only been playing since theros beyond death and if someone showed me this deck then and said this is what you should play, after a game or two I'd probably have asked if they played any other card games.
I play cycling with Yidaro and Ominous Seas. Maybe it isn’t technically as good as this version, but I have always hated the idea of relying on Zenith Flare as a wincon.
Kyle linnebur. Again, it’s just clickbait. Those are only in there for cycling which he could use literally any card with the same cycling cost. *facepalm* If he splashed those colors and could cast them it would be another story.
Haven't watched the additional games yet, but did Lurrus ever have any effect on a game? Seems like replacing it with another cycling card might have been as good or better #CovertGoGreen
I used to play against this deck every other game, usually my opponent wouldn't cycle anything until they played every single value card, including drannith healers. Obviously that's not a good line of play but I would still lose every time.

I love that there is more of the deck played in the other channel. More content is always good
#CovertGoGreen
18lands is WAY too much though. I ran 14 lands when i tried this in ikoria and i was still flooding sometimes.
I'm pretty sure calling this a 4-color deck is false advertising when the result is only actually 2 colors.
Also, this video made me angry.
My favorite game vs a cycling deck:
turn 1: drop swamp on the play
turn 2: eliminate their fox
turn 3: drop Underworld dreams and exchange GGs
Most paypigs can easily recover from Underworld Dreams by getting 2 healers on the ground and then hitting your face for lethal with flare anyway
Elspeth Nightmare is delightful as well
@@neets_ex I don't know, but it seems to me that the only thing mono black doesn't lack is removal...
My favorite game versus cycling is fae of wishes: granted grabbing a tormod's crypt.
Nothing is more funny for me than watching the opponent concede after I drop Leyline Of Void on turn 1 for free. I'll miss it on Standard so much. 💔
at 27:14 i think the best play would have been zenith flare face, then cycle the fox after the tormod's crypt hability resolved and try to find another cycle spell. same at 28:17
Thanks, CGB! I was having trouble sleeping. After watching a whole hour of cycling gameplay, I will now sleep for a week
Glad I could help!
Cast flare, then opponent exiles your graveyard. Then, with flare still on the stack, cycle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw that line, too, but it's risky of course. Given how doomed the game looked, probably worth going for since it was basically over if he didn't have multiple cycling cards on top of his library anyway
imo he underestimates the value of Drannith Stinger on the field. dealing 2 dmg each time you cycle a card is pretty good and doesn't care for crypt
_ claymore * 1 dmg
@@thunderryu0494 That was the point. He was dead next turn, so play with best hopes in mind. Gotta put your faith in the heart of the cards.
@@Chubbies34 oh I wasn't exactly clear. I meant a 2nd Stinger on the field. he did play one, in a couple of games.
CGB - apparently a wrestling fan, and a man who at least appreciated 420 culture. I think he and I could play Magic for an afternoon at least. 😁
28:18 200 IQ play here is to turn on full control - cast the flare - opponent puts crypt on stack - crypt resolves - cycle twice (have to get lucky and cycle into another non-land which you did) and then flare resolves with 2 cycle cards in graveyard. GG you win.
Actually lol'd at Covert Go Green.
No one is born cool
Except of course
People who cycle on their main phase
Day 2 of also wanting you to play the Dream Trawler, Magic Mirror, and Teferi's Ageless Insight deck that other dude wants so that he can stop suffering.
If you're that guy, you should check out CGB's viewer deck day and try to throw him a list!
If that guy gave CGB 20$ he would do it lol
I feel like this is the perfect deck for someone who is new to Magic but loves the game Uno
I enjoyed watching this to my surprise. CGB shows expert play decisions matter no matter how simple the deck.
Don't stress too much homie, the best promos are the ones that demonstrate the glaring flaws in a product
I for one downloaded the assistant immediately afterwards
Windswept Heath is the White-Green fetchland, CGB! The one you mean is Wind-scarred Crag.

I wish windswept heath were a common...
I wish it was standard legal
If you dont use Lurrus, you can change some blue and Black spells for the 3/6 vigilance giraffes

Hey, thanks! Fun playing against you too!
Shot for keeping to standard and not getting sucked into promoting the historic money hole!
It was nice to see cycling get stomped on. That was your subconscious putting into effect what we wanted to see once 20:12
Covert Go Green probably 1 of the funniest things you have said
Rollin with the cycling, get lit with the flare, then go green.
nice. looking forward to the covertgogreen channel
CovertGoGreen: Another dank day in the Arena, man.
Oh no ! It's him again, the Card Toucher ! Your nemesis !
Is it really four colors if you can't play two of them or is it just clickbait?
Oh, look, CGB switched to playing Solitaire... And as he states himself: It's boring
Its interesting
I play actual Solitarie. A lot funnier than playing Cycling in Magic.
@@RoyHeaven Hehehe. You made me chuckle :)
do mono red next lmao love you cgb

I have won most of the games I've played since making the deck (70% win rate).
What rank? I have an esper version that's kinda similar but it's trash in ranked. About 60% winrate in unranked 2021 play though.
Covert Go Green.. been waiting for this rank for awhile
No heat, just sweet, for the algorithm
CGG lol! It's not even my jam but I appreciate how you handled the situation
Rotation Proof? Budget? This is insane
Classic Blue Mage
To be fair its an excellent deck for new players on a budget they can build it quickly enough and get themselves some wins then move on to something better

@@ShooterSF ahaha yeh very true there's definitely much more interesting decks to play with and against
CGG also you can add to the stack when they empty your graveyard when you cast flare
You're not an idiot. Thanks for the content
I love how the game at 48:40 CGB says fox and snap-keeps lol. What does the fox say 👀
We love to see it. CovertGoGreen
The cringe is fine.
That ending fox kill was so big brain CGB even countered his own thinking to execute it. xD
I pride myself on being a cool kid but it took every fibre of determination to sit through an hour of cycling
Thank you, Cool Kid.
amazing deck wow very fun 2 watch
Hate cycling. Loved video!
CGG!! Covert Go Green! 🔥🔥
Everything but Green cycling! Woohoo!
I play cycling with Yidaro and Ominous Seas. Maybe it isn’t technically as good as this version, but I have always hated the idea of relying on Zenith Flare as a wincon.
That thumbnail title just made me think, "NANI?!?!"
Cycling is a fair and balanced mechanic.
CGG - CovertGoGreen -
In retrospect, I shouldn’t have fallen for this. But man I feel baited. Expected some new cool Jank, get cycling. But I approve of this tactic.
It was in 2020 that CGB said “go to sleep puppy “ dog killer
Was partaking when you hit that rank. #CGG
Loving to see the "team up" with CGB gaming. :)
By the way, try something with Umo Ego ;D
What do you think of yidaro as a 7 mana pay off probably and cycle engine
The cat is crying because he keeps hearing him say cat oven.
Nice. Leaving my CovertGoGreen comment here.
ok i've just noticed the opening melody of the channel goes like: tuttu tu tuttu coo-vert-go-bluue tu tuttu
Dropping a GovertGoGreen and a like, @40:00 nice!
39:55 ConvertGoGreen ? I dont get it. can someone enlighten me?
Could not make it work with 18 lands. With 16 it started cycling properly. Is that weird?
CovertGoGreen!! Nice one!!
It's been a while since I've played arena is historic always playable for ranked now
I saw "4 color" and knew. It's cycling, aka, Zenith Flare Solitaire
CovertGoGreen all the way.
Leyline of Sanctity can protect you from the graveyard hate. I.E. Tormod's Crypt.
for minute 28, is it not possible to throw out the flare, let them crypt let that resolve and then try to do to cycles before the flare activates?
I see this has been mentioned already x)
So in a monotony scale... How does Cycle compares to mono red? 🤔
Thanks CGB!
Nice! CovertGoGreen the coming channel, or something?
“4 color” Come on now, you don’t need that clickbait stuff!
Yet there are 4 colors
Kyle linnebur. Again, it’s just clickbait. Those are only in there for cycling which he could use literally any card with the same cycling cost. *facepalm* If he splashed those colors and could cast them it would be another story.
He did try the different triomes in the games to be able to cast them, but I know what you mean.
Myles. Ok, but as you know this deck he’s showing doesn’t. It just seems super clickbaity and it’s not like he needs those kinds of titles.
Cgb serious question....have you ever auditioned to play joker?
Haven't watched the additional games yet, but did Lurrus ever have any effect on a game? Seems like replacing it with another cycling card might have been as good or better #CovertGoGreen
Cgg haha that was great covertgogreen
Anyone else think CGB looks a lot like Quentin Tarantino?
I used to play against this deck every other game, usually my opponent wouldn't cycle anything until they played every single value card, including drannith healers. Obviously that's not a good line of play but I would still lose every time.
Haha haha at covert go green! 😈
