Like that he said it's better to be lucky than good. it was funny, but CGB plays control because creatures die to removal. He knows, and he's good because he built the deck that works

@@Marthisdil Yes, but every game where they face a slight speed bump is one where they're held prisoner and have to slow down, especially those games where victory is uncertain and they stay, like the few games in this video where an aggro deck was still around by turn 7-8, instead of knowing whether they win or lose by turn 3.
@@Xgya2000Tbh, those types of situations are the ones where "people who play mono red" get quickly seperated from the "people who know how to play mono red". I love when I play against that kind of deck and it doesn't get the auto-win-nut-draw with a perfect 1-2-3-4 mana curve and my opponent still manages to win because they're just better than me.
Woah, just like 90 percent of the playerbase? That's super unique, man, lol. But really, though, congrats on beating your mono red addiction that's awesome 👌
@20:33 Seems like the right call for Boros to concede here. Its turn 8, you have 8 lands and 6 cards in hand, the thing your opponent is looking for is a Mirrex or Fountainport. If he can't get one of those early enough, then there is no point in trying to play out through turns 11 and 12 against Azorius control. If I had a Talent or a Forge, I'd definitely try it here and make you have the hard counter. But if I was sitting there holding Torch the Tower, Get Lost, and Lightning Helix, I would concede.
That was me. Even without seeing it in a video, I felt a bit bad after scooping that game, but I play mainly blue white control myself and I know that at that point in the game there is very small chance the forge player will come back. No mirrex, no fountainport, nothing, even not the infamous Season of burrow, to throw something at the table. His BW version though is quite weak against forge, most of the games would end in forge player's favor as he has only 1 mirrex, a few anchorages and whales as win cons and no artifact removal or bounce spells. You kinda need Jace there before you get slowly, but steadily overrun as you can't counter forever everything. So the wins in this video were mainly because of bad and impatient players like myself and bad draws from our part.
I crafted this deck, and I was doing well at first, but then I started facing a lot of value token decks and golgari midrange decks that were able to outgrind me, and I was struggling. So I made a few tweaks, and now I'm doing well again. I cut 3 of the Not on My Watch to put in max copies of Get Lost. I also cut a Spellgyre for another Temporary Lockdown. It's a lot of fun watching opponents scoop after I remove all their threats.
I absolutely loved this episode. 7-0, blue white control, absolutely lucky draws against one of the worst metas ever, excellent calls on what to do and when to do it...Mchwah! Chef's kiss. Also, yeah, I know you get some haters and some bots, but I've been watching you for a while now (Since 2021 at least...has it really been years?!!! Plural? Dang.) Love your attitude and your enthusiasm for the game. Wish I could play, but pvp has always got my heart rate and blood pressure to unhealthy levels. That and...well, we used to call it cardboard crack, now it's digital crack. Simply too expensive. STILL! Love what you do, keep up the good work!
At first I wanted to be mad at you cause all I did was lose with this deck. However! This deck takes patience and planning, can't have that that Red Red/Black Prowess mindset. This deck is awesome! So much fun
i started as a rakdos midrange value player and became a blue white control player. thanks cgb for making me make others suffer through my drawngo gameplay ❤
CGB made me like UW Control :) I used the BW Braids, your deck btw, I'm having a blast even if I'm FTP player :P Looking forward to build this one too man! Also, quality content, keep going!!! Cheers!
❤ as a Tezerret main I am completely at your service of wandering this is one of the greatest uses of tell no lies open your eyes I've ever seen in grasping that particular nomenclature if you get my drift I normally play green black and I have been studying a lot on the mix of the blue black red but I also know that pure black has been well fed and I know that bolas is going to bed this is a slumber of Wonder magic the gathering has been quite the adventure and I can win with a gay chicken by using the exquisite blood combo I can use the priest and then plop the gay chicken on the field causing the loop to happen instantly when the game Dina is my champion and it is no swings attached!
I honestly love your videos, you're an awesome man! I just want to have fun mainly when playing MtG, but I'm also a DnD player at heart, I try telling stories with decks ;-)
I only recently got into Magic, I've been pretty loyal to Orzhov life gain, but for some reason the more I learn and play the more I consistently steer towards Azorius decks, they're just everything I could ever want in a card game,
I was looking for a new control build, and it looks like I found it...I just need to scrounge together 4 rare wildcards. Since I just got back into MTGA. Thanks a ton for the amusing control content!
I watched a video of a deck with high noon and it went hard. Replace the no more lies with high noon and sunfall with jace and the one mana instant board wipe
Elspeth's smite just does not work for me, but I think the 1 mana removal is super important. I'm playing an Into the Floodmaw + Jace control deck. The 1 mana blowout card is so useful for tempo gains
I get the mono-red hate, but the other decks are nearly impossible to acquire with out paying, any advice on decks that can compete in standard Bo1 using a free account?
@CovertGoBlue you should have another go at Dimir, try Stoic Sphinx again, with Three steps and the basic black destruction for the aggro meta, Ertai and some more counterspells, floodmaw for the talents or the U forge. Its aggressive control and it ruins the fun for mono red.
Honest question: If they get a Urabrask's forge in the field the game is basicaly over? In your one game agains a WR tokens they did cast only 1 and you were able to counter it, but if it gets in do you have any way to survive it in the long run?
As I look for a control(ish) deck that can hold it's own in this meta I wish the algorithm would allow to people to make a video title that simply says this is a deck that beats mono red more often then then it gets destroyed.
He runs Sunfall, of course it's the best deck. Although I think sunfall needs a buff to exile planeswalkers, echantments and artifacts aswell, and then draw 2 cards and heal 10 for each card exiled.
Not On My Watch feels like it should be bad because historically "target attacking creature" cards that cost 2 mana have been bad. But in this meta it is so important to have removal that is both instant speed and exiles, the card is actually good.

from one degenerate deck to another :) but I play RW tokens too now that my Angels deck rotated

YES I LOVE IT!! I'm using this deck for the rest of the year! This is my favorite content thank you cgb I fricken love you!!!
26:40 was the comeback we wanted all year for CGB
26:17 They definitely scryed to the top based on the text bubble, but it hid the card visually.
26:37 That's why this man is the best of best of one
Deck has your old sharknado vibes. Love it!!
I love this deck. Lots of scoops. Someone’s last straw was me searching up an island with Fabled Passage 😂
02:47 😂 sounds like Ben Stiller from the Dodgeball movie 😂 I do this voice all the time, love it bro
One of the funniest CGB videos I have watched all year, top-tier CGB content right here, bravo 🙌🏼
I love it when an editor and the creator have 4th wall breaking banter 😂
I'm over here playing Blue/White Birds with 8 counterspells and it is absolutely lit.
20:50 in the current meta it's been my experience that the game is pretty much won or lost by turn 4 anyway.
the whale sound you did just made this video the best one in weeks
Beating that temur Doppelganger deck was huge. A version of that is my main deck, and I rarely lose to u/w with it.

How do you counter control using an aggro deck? Looking forward for an aggro video vs conttol decks
this is the equivalent of just saying no to your opponent and waiting for them to leave or give up

A "gyre" is a whirlpool. It's from the same root at "gyrate," so it has a soft G sound.

@@JohnnyTightIips That's with a hard J, right?
That Sunfall was so clutch it was beautiful haha
Ultimate challenge for cgb to go one video without saying the words "mono red"
That's an unfair challenge. You know that's impossible.
I think i would feel left out as a "mono red" conoseur
At 23:40 the auto tapper didnt use the cavern for coloured mana and you could of countered it as the cards border disnt light up red.

I don't play MTGA but I love the Soundtrack of CGB's videos recently. What's the name of the song(s)/album?
CGB's videos don't really have a "soundtrack" as such, that's just the MTG Arena ingame music.
@@sandbo00 yes i know, but its always the same few songs, so thats why im asking for album/songnames
pulled a few hugs in the last few packs so i made a raccoon deck and been having a blast with it in low tier ranked
I love it, but I can't watch this kind of ruthless slaughter till the end 😂
YESSS!! More U/W control!!
The moxfield deckname is perfect, and may i saw "Thaaaaaaank youououou foooor theeeee deeeeeck" in perfect whale
The top deck game here is... top notch. 😎
that rabbit match was something fierce 😅
Anyone have a recomendation for a cheap deck to make for a newbie? I dont want mono-red shamed :)
Oh yes, my weekly dose, of Blue/White control
This deck is great although not my play style. Keep up the great work man!
So if I play BIG red will I go on the list?
"Let's make some whale noises." Happy smile from a Gojira fan. :D

He runs Sunfall, of course it's the best deck. Although I think sunfall needs a buff to exile planeswalkers, echantments and artifacts aswell, and then draw 2 cards and heal 10 for each card exiled.

Love that you are doing a list of shame!
That sunfall draw was nasty 😂
I could watch you stomp on meta decks all day.
Cool deck, needs more Mesa Falcons tho.
What format is this?
When CGB plays blue white you bet its going to be good but when he throws the sunglasses in the it gets turned up a few notches lol

If Rarran saw this deck he would be seething lmao
Went 9 and 1...only loss due to a Shelly which whittled me down on draw.
why the 1x fabled passage? why only 1?
save the meta is a big word to say and a matter of point of view
Having a sense of humour or sarcasm is rare, I see
That was the CGB I remember
It's gonna be great when the mesa falcon of the day is one that's on the list lol
This deck needs an obligatory Gojira soundtrack when you play it

Little has been said about fish carrying hard this meta.
love the new shame segment/ the list. what an idea. I hate monored!! lol FOR THEIR CRIMES
The only skill issue is ben trying to cast something from cascade.
haven't played against mono-red once with it in about 10 games :( all against control
