"God no not this deck again, It's so infuriating man. [..] I'm so glad Paradise Druid is leaving." -Some guy with Borrower, Krasis, Questing B and Nissa on hand.
@@Ikeisahero It did add like, 10 minutes on to every game just waiting for all those bs triggers and waiting to see if they were gonna remember to do it.
bro the WAR board has the city off in the corners every board has a flat center with details in the corners the amonkhet board is breaking this obvious design rule
Your work ethic has me hooked as does your informative way of explaining your thought process throughout games. Keep it up CGB - the hero the arena needs!
A board should have pretty, ideally interactive, things around the edges and a nice plain bit in the middle that doesn't distract from the cards. The new one doesn't have the latter - the buildings are too visually busy for the middle of the board - and doesn't really have the former either, except for the effects in the top right (which I don't really like but also hit performance and obscure the opponent's graveyard).
I feel it would be cool in a different game but it just dosn't fit righ as a board in MTG which is a shame since those graphics look like they took ages to make
Despite how many people complain about your complaints, you're sarcastic humor and the decks you play, show off and credit makes your content worthwhile. Keep up the good work CGB!
@@getlooky736 Then practice what you preach, don't complain and gtfo xD my point exactly. Some people are not as trigered as you are about complaining.
its definately not ok. the main reason to play any ramp now is because of krasis and to a lesser extent, ugin. if you dont play krasis, then dont bother to play ramp because nissa and krasis broken interaction is what makes the deck unbeatable. play nissa into krasis and refill your hand and have multiple threats on the table. it is that broken.
the problem with the sandstorm board is the execution, not the idea. the sandstorm looks awesome and having that dust animated is a great idea, but the whole town structure of the whole board, with cards "hovering" or "floating" above it is complete garbage. detail distribution: leave the playing field in the middle with low details, make all the cool buildings at the side of thre screen, so its not distracting. i feel like you, because it is objectively badly executed from a designer / concept art point of view. it is utter nonsense.
Againt that mutate opponent, when you ulted nissa, why not put all your lands in play? Effectively making it you wont draw into lands? Increasing ur chances of hitting ugin?
The Ahmonkhet board looks really cool, but I absolutely hate it because I lost a game earlier today when I couldn't tell how many creatures were attacking in a key combat step.
I completely agree about that sand board and I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds it revolting. That, and there MUST be a way to turn off the visible cue for opponent touching all the cards!
Props to the opponent at 1:03:53 , likely a very good player, i wonder if that was his brew, even if not i appreciate seeing something new and how fast and decisive his play was!
I love this deck thank you for sharing! Especially good at wreaking Mono Red. I don’t know why but you remind me of Quentin Tarantino.....it’s the mannerisms I think!
The idea behind Amonkhet's board is great, a fight in the city with a giant sandstorm approaching! I can dig that, HOWEVER, the execution is very poor, that doesn't look like a city at all, it looks like an elementary school dummy of a city. I like the sandstorm effect, though, and I'm glad they are venturing into more visually attractive boards, they just have to get better at it.
I love you and I love your content and style and humor... but I also love the new sandstorm board. I think it's gorgeous, haha. I really do. All the homes in the center are a bit distracting, I'll certainly admit it... but I just love the sand blowing in at the edge. I teach world history and I lived in the middle east for 2 years... the board speaks to me, haha.
I love the amonkhet board, i think of it as a strategic battle map where creatures r7n around in the streets fighting. It brings some imagination into the matches.
I'm neutral on the sandstorm board, but I can totally see how it could be hated (to say nothing of how it is for folks who literally get migraines looking at it).
I like sandstorm board, though I understand if people don't like how it muddies the gameboard. Pretty on its own, perhaps not the best to play a game on though.
Worth noting when you have nissa. Some dual lands are just lands and some are tw types together like Forest Island. The latter will give you 2 mana when tapped for green.
@@anvi7572 If she gets a turn to stay out then sure she can start getting pretty broken but against most of the meta decks she dies to something they have. I've lost so many games curving out or ramping into Nissa when the mono red aggro player kills her with scorching or calvacade or any burn spell with enough creatures. I wont lie and say that a planeswalker that doubles mana and gets you a creature isnt broken, but more times than not she dies. But, not without getting a good amount of value which every decent planeswalker does.
Ok, been playing this deck card for card, no changes at all, running 86% in platinum so far, seem to see turn 3 Nissa or Gargaroth pretty often, like 40-50% of hands and have had a follow up with a turn 5-6 Ugin often as well
I see that such a board may be very distressing for some individuals, as well as some of the pets are. I wish the devs would give us people who are sensitive to such things more options. I also love how CGB shows impressions, feelings towards the game. So many amazing moments. I only watch CGB.
I feel ya CGB, I get so upset with people that take forever. But on the flip side I have a slow connection to the internet so more times than not I'm the opponent who take forever😅
Using mono red in arena is like using the vmp in black ops 4 (overused and usually very hard to play against) Using controll is like sniping Using mid-range is like using an assault rifle Using ramp is like using an lmg Using agro is either a shotgun or smg
Omg I've been playing a similar deck to that mono black deck in my LGS recently for Friday Night Magic and never once though to ghostform my archfiend and kill him.
I hear you on the not wanting to complain part. I get super frustrated with the game too and I know I would be whining if I was on stream too so I feel you. Idk why magic is so frustrating but anyone who has played it long enough will tell you that even the people who love magic the most, hate it.
It is actually really soothing to hear someone hate this stupid sand-board with the same visceral hate as I do. And no, I don't have an anger-management issue,.You have one! Just leave me alone you are not my real mother anyway!!1!1!!!
I like the board. The more detailed the board the more It distracts me from how slow my opponents are playing.
That is one way to look at it.
I'd rather it had clickables for such distractions rather than being a full scattering of buildings and annoying sand.
LMAO OMG Dude. I understand.
I actually love the sandstorm board
I like it. It's different.
“I don’t like sand, it’s rough and irritating and it gets everywhere”
the new sand board is fucked up...
We don't talk about that movie in polite company
CGB: *adds Brazen Borrower* "This is very different approach to simic ramp"
"God no not this deck again, It's so infuriating man. [..] I'm so glad Paradise Druid is leaving."
-Some guy with Borrower, Krasis, Questing B and Nissa on hand.
"YOUR FREAKIN GO." Lol. I think we've all been there.
At least cat hoven retards are gone, it was so painful to watch them try to sacrifice and combo for 2 minutes per turn
@@Ikeisahero It did add like, 10 minutes on to every game just waiting for all those bs triggers and waiting to see if they were gonna remember to do it.
If they are going to make it for mobile, they need to get rid of time outs. If you don't know what you're doing, head to the Play queue.
Sorry you had a rough day filming but thank you for your sacrifice to bring me quality gameplay and content. As always, awesome
I appreciate that, glad you enjoyed the video.
Oh man, I was rooting for that mutate deck to deck itself for you to pull a miraculous win, so close!
The new board is fine, I just wish you could turn off the sandstorm itself in the settings.
bro the WAR board has the city off in the corners
every board has a flat center with details in the corners

It's also weird how cards "float" on it and the doggo doesn't quite fit in his pen - which is fine because he's creepily hovering over it anyway
I love the music on the new sandstorm board
Love the daily content, CGB thank you for what you do!
Glad you enjoy it!
17:12 definitely agree. Not interactive, the sand is annoying, and the music is kinda weird.
I feel it would be cool in a different game but it just dosn't fit righ as a board in MTG which is a shame since those graphics look like they took ages to make
And the cards look like floating. It's sooooo ugly.
I also agree. I think they could have made it better if they played Sandstorm by Darude.
31:55 - 33:55 What a rollercoaster of emotions! 2 minutes of "what?!"
Crazy maniacal CGB isn't real, they said. He can't hurt you, they said.
34:41
The horror.
I identify as an elephant hunting white moustache, I was slightly offended but i thank you for apologising.
Cracked up at "This isn't the outro!" Edit: I really love the new board lol
CGB, You're my hero. You're the main reason I still play arena to date. I've watched every video ever since I first found you. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much, glad you like the videos.
@@covertgoblue no, thank you! been a lurker for a long time and just felt the need to finally voice my love to counteract your haters

Despite how many people complain about your complaints, you're sarcastic humor and the decks you play, show off and credit makes your content worthwhile. Keep up the good work CGB!
Thank you
46:00 big mistake turn(wich is unusual on this channel): ultimate nissa first to trim lands of the deck then draw
That "This is NOT fine" clip is extremely meme-worthy. :D
People complaining about someone else complaining xD I love it

Some people are not as trigered as you are about complaining.

Is it okay if I replace Hydroid Krasis for Uro? I don’t want to spend 4 mythic on a rotating card
its definately not ok. the main reason to play any ramp now is because of krasis and to a lesser extent, ugin. if you dont play krasis, then dont bother to play ramp because nissa and krasis broken interaction is what makes the deck unbeatable. play nissa into krasis and refill your hand and have multiple threats on the table. it is that broken.
Oh god, that heartbreaking loss to mutate followed by that crushing of rdw was such a mix of emotions.
its magic, luck is large at play. u cant win all the matches even with the best deck.
I'm digging the attitude in the intro CGB!! Let the nonsense begin homie!!
This is a neat deck. Would it be a better option to swap Brazen Borrower for Uro to help get more Mana out in the early game?
I love the board, looks so aesthetically pleasing. Very calming in my opinion.
CGB's account won't upload his video today. But he's trying!

Edit: I find your complaints pretty amusing to watch, keep expressing those feelings!
At 56:30 the activation of the District land wouldn't have saved you? It would have added 3 more toughness to put in front of the trampler

LOL the expression CBG made of people playing BO3 was priceless
Is gargoroth the best creature in standard?
im happy you and LVG arent playing the same deck in this video haha i swear u guys secretly colab lol
Thanks for the laughs spicy CGB!!! 😂 With the new board, oh my freaking lord! Hahahaha!!! And I like it, sorry, but not sorry, is nice! ❤️
It’s the same thing with extinction event. I keep searching for it so I can add more to my deck because I’m only seeing one. 👽
How dare you make fun of my twirling white mustache sir! How DARE you!
I have heard the bugs crawling around on some of the boards bothers some people too.
Someone get Ceeg a Snickers bar. He's getting hangry and yelling at sand.
I love the new sand board!
I'm neutral on the sandstorm board, but I can totally see how it could be hated (to say nothing of how it is for folks who literally get migraines looking at it).
They need an option to turn off board effects/animations, including pets.
34:24 When its your tenth time playing against mono red in arena xDDDD
I like sandstorm board, though I understand if people don't like how it muddies the gameboard. Pretty on its own, perhaps not the best to play a game on though.
Easy solution would be to be able to check/uncheck tabletop styles in your profile. They could even sell "premium" tabletops.
Can't you disable the backgrounds?
Or is it just card animations?
Absolutely LOVE the new board and nothing you can say will change my mind
24:18 - 100% agree about the emotional element. This game is unlike any other. Love your content CGB!! ❤️❤️
Built the deck and its really a lot of fun!
I like sandstone board but it kind of lags my PC.
One of those days I shall give you French pronunciation class. Thanks for the video!
I think the sandstorm board is cool. The only thing I don't like about it is it obscures opponents graveyard a little.
Cant pronounce French names but does a decent Connery impression is peak CGB.
Worth noting when you have nissa. Some dual lands are just lands and some are tw types together like Forest Island. The latter will give you 2 mana when tapped for green.
Feeeelings! Whoa, whoa, whoa, feeeelings!!
I love the board. Yay for the board.
I basically never use Twitch, but I do have Amazon Prime, so I guess since you were the first to remind me about the free sub, it's yours.
Thank you
I've not seen much mono red in the m21 queue. Only adventures though
the intermittent karaoke is the reason i watch
I love the sandstorm board
Visually like the new board and the sand storm, I hate that the sand storm obscures my opponents graveyard though
Yet another uninspired Nissa deck that either wins when it draws Nissa or loses if she gets dealt with. This meta truly is aids.
I'm going to have a little celebration when the rest of the bullshit planeswalkers from WoTS rotate out.
to add salt to injury, elder gargaroth is just a backup win con. the real win con is nissa n krasis combo which is a broken interaction
whenever i play simic nissa is just the distraction
@@austintri7759 "the distraction" That just wins the game by herself... nice one bud.
