YES! I've been working on a HB list for this since the set came out - waited before investing the wildcards once I saw this as an option in the discord server XD
6:26 "let's see what the opponent does with us tapped out..." me: the mightstone and the weakstone removing the merfolk, because they _always_ have it and they did =O
Dammit CGB. I've been watching your videos so long I've pavloved myself. I only went to UA-cam to do an audio test on headphones and clicked the first video. Your intro came up and after I closed it to confirm my audio worked I got real upset I didn't watch it lol.
Since it was so powerful in French duel commander and got banned, I am glad to see this guy rolling in historic brawl!-) Thanks, CGB for the superior content. CKC out;)
I built a traft deck thats full voltron, with lots of distrub cards for flying double strike and extra 4/4's. Smashes 90% of the decks I face. Also yeah, Traft gonna end up in hell queue for sure. All versions of his deck, hell queue.
22:27 I don't think it was a "deck is busted" thing, I think the opponent is one of those who just scoops on the draw. Lots of people like that nowdays.
They really need to work on fixing play/draw issues, even if it's something just for Bo1 formats. I sadly often have to concede early on the draw too, because realistically so many games are just over because of the coin flip (not all, but way too many still).
@@CanadianBaconPwnage yeah, they tried to add some stuff to alchemy to try and fix the supremely retarded play/draw imbalance, but its not even close to enough. They really need to add some "temporary mana" to the player on the draw so we can at least pretend we got to play magic.
Honestly after a day of getting your commander either killed or countered without getting to untap with it once he might have just looked at the colors and said "fuck that noise". There is a disappointing lack of diversity in the format and it can get on your nerves, particularly when you're trying to build a deck without blue.
@@alexanderforbes1452 countering/killing commanders isn't a good play. You either frogify then, or shuffle them back into the deck forever. Or turn them into a land/arcane signet.
Nice to be able to watch someone own other people on UA-cam instead of getting my ass handed to me on a daily cause I don't have the money or time to make my entire deck rares and mythics
The deck list appears to be missing? I would love to recreate this deck if possible. I have almost all of them but 5 are below the bottom of the screen and cannot be read. Ghirapur is one of them. Is there another place to see the decklist?
Disappointed that none of the games were against Atraxa after you said this deck beats up on those decks. I absolutely despise Atraxa and would have loved seeing her get destroyed. The fact she hasn't been put into hell queue yet makes me not wanna play HB until that happens.
Question: can you phase (say with Slip out the Back) out the Angel token to avoid the exile trigger at the end of combat, or do you need something like Discontinuity/Sundial of the Infinite to do that?
I'm with Evelyn, blue tempo games bore me to pieces. I'm a 100% first turn scoop on spectral sailor or the pirate counterspell onedrop thing. I know all MTG is this way, but playing against those decks feels very much like I'm playing against an excel spreadsheet where the only real question is what order their deck's in.
I'm still waiting for your take on a Tamiyo HB deck with the new Tamiyo. I have built one myself that is focused on drawing cards with small unblockeble creatures, ulting Tamiyo and casting Emrakul😅
No. You're cool.
No. We're cool.

11:55 "The thought that the opponent could be looking at a hand full of unplayable cards brings you joy."
Love the sweet lotus field-dragon master outcast combo.
Wasn’t even a rampy hand for OP either. Bad kids will be just that 🗑️🚯

shuffler is fine
I have been anticipating this video very much! Excited to watch you play Geist; I’m having a blast with him.
Cool deck. Geist of saint traft was a promo rare for the first mtg precon I bought. Great to see him get some love
Whenever there is a rare WMG reference by CGB, I smile nostalgically. Get those Even Stevens, CGB. Take those pants.

More like Geist of Saint SHAFT! Jesus!
Was wondering why I played this 3 times today 😂
Deck has been a ton of fun to play, and man, he really brings a lot of salt to the table.

@17:11 always appreciate some WMG throwback.
My youtube crashed during the rope and I actually thought he was roping for a full 5 minutes 😅

It was only a matter of time
Multiple WMG references in the vid I love it
illuna doing iluna things
This will be a lovely addition to Hell Queue. Keep the reactive, durdly decks honest.
Whether I play Delina, Koth, or Obosh, I’m always pairing up against Rusko and Atraxa, even Golos or Jodah. I’m not convinced hell queue exists.
Historical brawl baby less goooo

Sweet card, I loved playing Jeskai Geist in Modern (7 years ago...)
Thanks CGB

St. Tracy looks like he’s about to drop the hottest mixtape of all time.
Well this brings me back to fnm geist blade decks about a decade ago
I got Geist of St Traft as my first FNM promo. Went 0-3 😂
It's 2am in the 🇵🇭. Finally, I can go to bed, watch an hour of CGB and go to sleep.
I just built the Geist yesterday and it looks like I need to steal this deck

You had me at cheap
Poor grixis is bored by getting out tempoed
Today I beat this deck, but it was a Spirit Tribal version
He’s doing WHAT to historic brawl? 👁️👄👁️
End of video gang rise up
This deck is so sick! Game one was also so well played
This deck is super fun! Crafted it and played a few games, it has a hell of a come back too, stick it out till the end
some respect to 'IamNotFine'
Quite possibly the best commander for brawl. Can’t wait for it to go to hell along with Atraxa
I return, shell hardened against the elements. Awaiting your teachings. Day 2 of asking CGB for a shrines deck video.
Disappointed that none of the games were against Atraxa after you said this deck beats up on those decks. I absolutely despise Atraxa and would have loved seeing her get destroyed. The fact she hasn't been put into hell queue yet makes me not wanna play HB until that happens.
Where was the Atraxa matchup?
The matchup is good.
"ORLANDOOOO"
Whats the point recording leavers ?
Question: can you phase (say with Slip out the Back) out the Angel token to avoid the exile trigger at the end of combat, or do you need something like Discontinuity/Sundial of the Infinite to do that?
You can use stifle effects on the exil trigger too.
22:22
Tried to copy the list and I'm 95/100 cards. What am I missing?
Yeah Geist is definitely busted. That's why its banned in Duel Commander. Banish it to hell queue!!

Your spirits subtheme is pretty suboptimal, could cut like 5 cards here, otherwise this deck is a monster
Day 5 asking CGB to play historic Brawl with Tamiyo Field Researcher as commander.💛💚💙
As the person who was playing Tamiyo in this video I don’t think he’s up for it!
I hate playing against this deck. is like rusco 2.0
Stop making Hell Q viable commanders that are new to Arena. They still haven't fixed Rusko after you broke him.
Should be bannedin Brawl.
MORE HB PLS!
