That Ramos guy is always roping out, and emoting "your go". I've lost to him a few times. :( lol. Awesome video! I've always wanted to see a Davriel deck.
Playing mono black means you have to survive through their removal spells. Mono red players don't have the conviction to do so. If they can't win in five turns, they're already bored and need their juice and a nap.
I had a mono red player slow roll me today with two Swifties on the field. My Grixis control deck got right under them and rolled them up. I was so confused as to why they didn't just burn me out by turn 5.
@@GavinShandy Queue options that filter the "original" queues at the expense of wait time might be cool. Not even just alchemy/nonalchemy, but also when you really hate certain deck types, eg. ">10 discard spells", ">10 counterspells", ">5 land destruction spells" that you can choose not to play against... (single card filters might also be interesting, eg. for wash away, dark ritual, or other cards some players hate, but that might really cause issues with queue time, or just filter colors, since pretty much any deck in those colors has to run these cards...)
You could also play Underworld Dreams as an alternative to Sheoldred as the draw finisher. From an interface standpoint, it's much easier than targeting with Bowmasters.
I didn't actually watched the video apart from Intro and Outro because Digital-Only Commander (not for me), but still I left it playing on my screen to count as watch time. Because that's what fans do. Keep up the amazing work, sensei \o
Re: Your outro and wanting rebalanced cards to be their own cards - They are! The card is not called "The One Ring," it's called "A - The One Ring" and you can still use the normal printed version in Direct Challenges, but it's banned in formats where rebalances are available.
I like it when draft chaff is buffed. I like the digital only cards and mechanics. But I do agree that making cards worse than their paper version (or completely different with the same art, like you mentioned with Baldur’s Gate) isn’t good. At the very least, there should be wildcard compensation for nerfs.
I understand the desire for rebalancing certain cards (i.e. buffing them,) but I agree with your take--rebalance the Alchemy only cards, and leave the printed ones alone.
I prefer to one-shot kill with Aetherflux Reservoir since you gain so much life you can often activate it twice to get around a Teferi’s Protection! I also run Buried Ruin in case they run artifact removal
Not sure eif the card is on arena but skirge familiar let's you discard cards to make a black mana which is great with the griselbrand card draw although does require itself to remain on the battlefield
Surprised you're not running artherflux with how much life you were gaining. Easy combo piece, beseach the mirror target, karnable too? If I build this, thats 100% going in there. Great vid, as always!
If the changes to the cards where only for when they are used in alchemy I wouldn’t see the issue. Then if they are “overpowered” in historic or something either ban them or limit the amount. One Ring could’ve had a “there could only be one copy of this card in your deck” text line and the burden counters should’ve gone on the player much like poison counters.
I'd of loved the velamachus game the opponent would of tried to win but he didn't know that CGB burned his combos and had no answers in hand. The last game was great too.
I agree that alchemy cards should have different art - just like they release alternative arts for many cards, but this one should be for alchemy only. And also card name should be starting from "Alchemy" text not icon: "Alchemy Bla-Bla-Bla" using the same font and color. In this case those cards will be "inspired by paper cards" and not not so irritating.
The one ring is the only thing broken about alchemy, everything else is just fun and dynamic (compared to standard after playing hours and hours) - bring on the alchemy content 😎
They should have nerfed the ring by just making you lose the life when you tap it, instead of losing the life at upkeep so you can't just play your next ring to avoid the damage. Bowmasters was an appropriate nerf.
Only losing the life when you tap the ring would be a buff - not a nerf. I've killed an opponent because they had a lot of temptation counters on their ring, and i kept on using counter spells to prevent them from sacrificing it. Because the life loss happens at the beginning of upkeep, their ring killed them. If the life loss happens just when you activate the ring, then it makes the life loss optional, and I would've lost the game.
@@ironboundfate Blinking the nontoken gruff triplets creates more gruff triplet tokens. I think that is what is being referenced here. You are correct that it doesn't provide the counters though.
@@jacobhansen-mz2vq yeah, but if you have melira on the field or the werefox, the tokens can enter the battlefield before the counter's trigger resolve
bowmasters and one ring completely warped formats where if you werent playing them, you were at a severe disadvantage. there was no reason to not play them, which means they were broken.

The last opponent really screwed themselves snapping off that counterspell on the dark ritual.

Its why I love playing "oops no creatures" against mono black
Totally agree with your view on digital only cards. I wish they would separate the format into original historic/ brawl and alchemy historic/ brawl.
Wholeheartedly agreed but I think it would result in queue time issues. Maybe a dual queue would be kinda cool for people who just don’t care.

"Let's see if we can buff these zombies"
Mouses right over the buff and chooses to draw 3. You should dress up as a hopeless nightmare for Halloween.
Oh please. Everybody knows that drawing cards is better than winning.

“Draw three cards”
“Your spells are B cheaper”
“Davriel has ”
Which of these is a zombie buff?
You're just wrong though
I don't know who's having a more impressive start to the season; CGB or the 3-0 Denver Nuggets. It may be too early to tell.

AWaken the Erstwhile+Ayara, first of Lochtwain is a really nice little combo, for this.
holy crap 46 lands? cgb REALLY hates not having mana
I'm not the biggest fan of Alchemy BUT I love singleton Magic so Brawl is still my fav format to play and watch.
I love this Davriel's design so much, want to see more of the card.
What a cool last game! 56 zombies, Happy Halloween!

We did it boys, we finally found a way to break Grislebrand.

Veto the vampire cleric would be awesome in this deck with shelodred and grisslebrand
New cgb vid
Lets go
LETS GOOOOOOOO

Standard video - ua-cam.com/video/WEpupif_w-Y/v-deo.htmlsi=zd0hvvLh4avVXLmE
I just realized this watching the dino rider playmat. CGB should audition for a dino in Jurrassic World!
Video starts at 5:27
I miss hearing you sing coldsteel heart and don't let the sun go down on me with immortal sun
I agree with the alchemy changes, really annoys me that the same cards do different things
I would always quit to monoblack discard/ removal tribal. Now I know I just have to play long enough and they usually run out of gas.
Alchemy? I hardly know her
You draw and discard so much with this deck, it's probably worth it throwing in a wincon for discarding
I thought everyone loved Alchemy
I do!!!
The 3 people playing it seem to enjoy it
Nope, digital only mechanics are fine but rebalancing affecting random cards in historic is very stupid
Alchemy is good. It opens a gate for mechanics that are too complicated on paper.
@@edizkurulego but rebalancing cards in arenas only eternal format? That's why many people hate it.
Homeboy needs a vacation. May I suggest Iceland?
Monkaaaayyyyy🎵🎵🎵
I hope my comment sounds like CGB’s voice for commenters at 3:38 inside all your heads. When you read this hear that voice. 😂
Not sure eif the card is on arena but skirge familiar let's you discard cards to make a black mana which is great with the griselbrand card draw although does require itself to remain on the battlefield
I can’t believe you use perpetual effects in alchemy I’m so pissed
(You’re welcome)
This was the BEST xD

All that Life and no Aetherflux Reservoir...that's a shame :)
Weren't Bowmasters and the One Ring alchemy only anway?
They should name it "the other one ring" 😂
I'm 10-8 with this deck but its a lot of fun!
If the changes to the cards where only for when they are used in alchemy I wouldn’t see the issue. Then if they are “overpowered” in historic or something either ban them or limit the amount.

i wonder if he has one ring in every commander deck he has how much money he has in one rings
46 lands? Love it.
Davriel? You mean Lalo Salamanca ? :) ahah
Really missing Aether Reservoir here
I'd of loved the velamachus game the opponent would of tried to win but he didn't know that CGB burned his combos and had no answers in hand. The last game was great too.
Hey do anybody know how to change deck layout ? I want to see my whole deck but it's not letting me
@57:19 they're mocking you for roping them 3 turns in a row. Lol. Some people really can't handle a little rope.
20:40 Watching this is painful. You had Beseech the Mirror for Sheoldred and still drew your deck. Hopefully you have Sanguine Bond in the deck.

They need to get rid of the Roping timer in Arenas or start giving out bans to players. It makes games longer than what they need to be.
I just got mythic with a green white deck I homebrewed! do you want to test it and make a video? (standard)
Didnt You had the tower in your hand you didnt even have to discard:)
He needed the black mana.
Da Fuq ? who would want that playmat

Is Skirge Familiar not in Historic Brawl?
Question if someone could answer...is mind stone a decent card for commander or does it mostly depend on the deck?
Unless you go hard with coloured mana it’s decent
alchemy is cool... btw

Nothing against Alchemy, but Davriel is one of the most annoying planeswalker ever printed, imho.
? Would 'Lithoform Engine' double your offers?
