I have tried playing voja for a long time, i found the best version being just a lot of elves and reckless storm seekers to give voja haste, its fun to just one shot people with a hasty voja Also gwenna (an elf!) untapping from voja then tapping for stormseeker on 4 is crazy
@@marcusolsen96shuffler is fine. If you run a one of in your deck, in real life you'll rarely see it. In Arena, you'll see it almost every game in your opening hand.
Maybe adding Storm the Festival and Bitter Reunion would make it better... Bitter Reunion is an enchantment that causes creatures to gain haste when paying 1 mana (in addition to having the effect of drawing cards when it enters battle), making so that Voja can attack the moment it enters the field. If you already have Bitter Reunion on the field and cast Storm the Festival, the possibilities of damaging your opponent are very favorable, considering that this card allows you to cast 2 spells costing 5 or less from among the first 5 cards of your deck without paying their mana cost.
SO MANY missed opportunities to animate the manlands and get their attack effects... like at 33:00 when you chose to animate Cavern for lulz instead of Restless Prairie to push through 2 more damage
By targeting the cavern, he saved the opportunity to animate the llama on its own and have 2 creature lands later… But you are right about some of the earlier times 😅.
Control players ehh.. They so used to drop lands and pass, wiping boards and counters while contribute nothing to board or interact, and when given a creature decks/aggro/mid range decks they struggle to maneuver those showing them how hard it can at times to play them.
I just looked at your videos to figure out how to counter blue/white control (I'm playing your boros deck). The next game I literally play against you as blue/white control).
Would loamspeaker on the creature lands not cause the creature land's ability to still trigger. See, no question mark so you have to answer, its not a question.
At 12:10 you potentially missed lethal if the opponent didn't have a removal spell - Fleetfloot dancer plays around No More Lies and when it ETB's the two Gala Greeters will each get a +1/+1 counter. 3+2+3+4 is 12 exactly, but again this assumes the opponent didn't have another Get Lost or Lightning Helix.
Dude, trust me, take out 1 Voja, put in 1 Jetmir, take out 4 lands, and put in 4 Break Out. And try again, I know it sounds completely crazy, but it will work!
I think this deck should have some amount of roaming throne. the thrones being able to be an elf or wolf depending on what you want is good along with it being colorless so you can cast it for 4 no matter how jank your mana base is. Please stop treating throne like a meme, you can throw it in a goblin, faerie, angel, dino or whatever deck and still have it preform well.
I do love to complain about it. I have no idea how it seems like you get tons of aggro opponents usually but all I see are control in standard. Control for days. It really sucks as someone with a small collection that can only really put together midrange decks as you might imagine. It's almost to the point that I see the Azorious land come down turn 1 and I just want to get it over with and concede.
Making the wrong choice because you’ve rushed is what makes you a poor excuse for a control mage. Weighing up all possibilities is the trademark of a professional player. Watch some pro tournaments.
I'm so annoyed by these videos. I really wanted to see if CGB could make voja work in standard. I'm a big wolf fan and I think CGB is a very intelligent mtg player. Normally, wolves isn't his thing but he'll give it a good go nonetheless and similarly to when werewolves just came out, his decks have the worst draws and never show the essence of the deck. Not only do I see CGB get frustrated by a deck he really doesn't like playing, making it even less likely for him to play similar decks (which I personally love) but I'm also not getting a good representation of the deck and the tweaks it might need to florish. I'm sorry CGB, I wish wolves were more kind to you and your decks...
Thats just Arena in a nutshell, if you try to play anything fun or creative you get punished by the shuffler and matchmaker in ways you never knew possible. Also I'm sorry but Standard just sucks to play right now imo.
39:00 Why scoop, you could have played Gwenna, chumped, and then top decked a lightning helix. People play so bad in Arena just from being frustrated. You'd think you'd know that more than anyone, sir Blue mage.
Except the opponent could have just attacked and used the Mirrex to make a creature that would trigger the Warleaders Calls for 2 damage making it lethal either way, but of course you would have to be good to see that obvious line lol
I simply will never understand the mentality of hard control players in any non-commander format. Like "first, I'll put 4 of the best interaction, then I'll have 4 of the second best and so on until my entire deck is filled with ways to stop the game form progressing!"
At this point the meta is so stabilized that CGB can just predict the whole game based on his opponents avatar

This reminds me of a Merchant video from like 4 years ago. It was also about wolves in standard
too many Vojas... should have just one to draw it every time
But then hed never hit the 5th landdrop
Öhm, what how? 🐕

YES! Love it when you play an ambitious deck like this. Fun to see some cards that are being a lot in Standard.
Still finding mileage out of MKM: love it.
Turns out playing Rocco Cabaretti Cavalier in a deck that has roaming throne is really sweet just saying
I can imagine how dangerous it is to be a well-known card game streammer... your opponent can easily look up your live stream and see your hand XD

You dissing the blue white mage for not being good made me LOL
Most this so called blue white mage is trash. Control in general is trash.

Same with the Loamspeaker. I sighed every time he chose a land other then one of the Manlands...

He came to teach you directly

It would still trigger. Wrenn and Realmbreaker is another way to get the attack triggers
51:00 lol, after no draws for this card, (except 3 at once one time) ^^

what? fleetfoot dancer doesnt play around no more lies...
@@babastein In this case it did. Cost 3 Mana and still 3 Mana open
@@Zaptalin oh oops im sorry. i missed the treasures
Would love to see a historic brawl video with Voja!
“ throwing ourselves against the brick wall until it collapsed”. Aka tenacity
Built a brawl deck with this and maskwood nexus. Good times
Shuffler is so frustrating when your deck has all the right tools but refuses to draw any of them
Magic players be getting mad at fate.
Bro I freaking love your little swag commercial in the beginning, so funny!
Ok so ive been out of the loop with standard for a while. How is wandering emperor and the rest of neon dynasty still in standard?
The cool kids got this a day early? No wonder why I was beating Naya voja decks today on the ladder. Thanks uncle CGB! 😂
Thanks CGB
CGB Wolf deck in standard??? It's not even my birthday!!
I was wondering if I was the only player who had starting hands of 2 lands that go no where. Great coding Wizards.
Dude, trust me, take out 1 Voja, put in 1 Jetmir, take out 4 lands, and put in 4 Break Out. And try again, I know it sounds completely crazy, but it will work!
>complains about not drawing the build around card.
>draws 3/4 copies.
Big WOTC is always listening, Mr. Go Blue.
ok that ad was hilarious
I need to see a red black white deck that is all spot removal and fieldclears then 1 wincon
A tapped plainswalker always feels wrong
Such a wildly pushed card.
I had no idea that Voja card even existed.
the arena shuffler is so obviously rigged i'm sorry
After all the boring decks you've played finally something fresh
The only commander from MKM I love more than Voja is Duskana.
Voja is better by a long shot, but Bear Force 1 and 2 needed an upgrade.
I could be wrong, but i think after one of the sunfalls i think you could of attacked with a land to win
10:19 nope - sorcery speed
Well elf tribal does what elf tribal does
I think this deck should have some amount of roaming throne. the thrones being able to be an elf or wolf depending on what you want is good along with it being colorless so you can cast it for 4 no matter how jank your mana base is.
Please stop treating throne like a meme, you can throw it in a goblin, faerie, angel, dino or whatever deck and still have it preform well.
Of course you would draw all four bodyguards before land #3. Shuffler is fine.
Now you gotta try melek/I’ll timed explosion.
I love how this deck is better without Voja
OMG! THAT WAS A MONTY PYTHON REFERENCE?
45 minutes into the video, actually first Voja activation xD
Bro that last game made me so sad lmao
cool vid!
Roaming Throne?
oh wolfy deck! awesome!!
Why not just play Howlpack Piper and cheat out Voya?
I’m shocked more people don’t play Geological Appraiser. That card feels like it’s one mana too cheap
then i have good news for you: they nerfed the card yesterday and now cost 1 mana more, nk
@@nomenestomen3452 I know it got adjusted in Alchemy but it seems super undercosted in Standard
Big fan CGB, but don’t get salty and talk down about your opponents play style. You’re better than that.
Unless it’s mono red
I do love to complain about it. I have no idea how it seems like you get tons of aggro opponents usually but all I see are control in standard. Control for days.

Bitter Reunion with it?
No discard synergy
Would probably be a lot better in historic
'typal'
ouch.
Arlinn ❤
Actually a fun that isn’t control

its already op haste would be so broken
I cant stand playing against Voja, its so annoying
