We need a montage that shows all the times CGB calls a card unplayable on Arena Craft and then plays 4 of it in ranked while the end theme of Curb Your Enthusiasm plays 😏
Not even kidding when I say that watching this Izzet build work, literally put a smile on my face (specifically when you went up against the mono red player)
That deck seems like an absolute nightmare to navigate. Imagine using a tutor to tutor a tutor to find a card to discard and use another card you played 10 minutes ago to bring the third card in this sequence back to the battlefield because of an extremely specific interaction.
8 o’clock…9 o’clock… 10 o’clock… 11 o’clock… You put the trigger onto the stack You keep priority, you don’t go to attacks Your draw step goes on for days I watched an episode of Friends in your pre-combat main phase Teferi’s bothering me, something’s not right I ain’t played a card since what seems like last night I should be scooping, probably dead But you might not have it, so how about instead? Wake me up before you combo I just need to know that it’s not a nonbo Wake me up before you combo I hope I’m still alive when I die Wake me up before you combo Because you just found a cure for insomnia Wake me up before you combo Wake me up when I die Wait, I forgot to scry I want to jump off that balcony Yeah those tendrils ain’t the only ones in agony Manamorphose, I get the gist You got more Gifts Ungiven than the naughty list Your turn’s so long, wish it went way faster You Sneak and Show like a subway flasher Your storm count’s ticking up so high An Hour of Eternity? That sounds about right… Wake me up before you combo I just need to make sure it’s not a nonbo Wake me up before you combo I hope I’m still alive when I die Wake me up before you combo Because you just found a cure for insomnia Wake me up before you combo Wake me up when I die
I like the fact that Prismari ramps with literal coins. I mean, dragons seem to like coins, right? And someone has to pay for the performers and artists.
Second opponent definitely forgot they priority checked by going to their second main phase. They wanted to go to combat and swing but accidentally ended their turn instead.
Hey CGB, really like your content! Started MTGA in January and your videos really helped me get into the game. Standard BO1 is always high quality with deep explaining of your plays and brawl ones are very fun makes me want to try every decks! Thank you very much
I absolutely appreciate your UA-cam content. I learn a great deal and am entertained by you. Thank you for posting. I’m excited for Strickhaven as Kaldheim was a really good set, and I like the meta being shuffled.
Game 2: You have Prismari in play as a 6/6 and a dragon in hand. Opponent at 14. You hit for 10. Now the opponent is at 4 and has to have 2 answers and extinction event can't answer both. That was the play: Dragon and Prismari.
Ran into someone playing a deck similar to this earlier today, had no idea what my opponent's deck was when I first started playing him but I am glad that I was testing out 4x "test of talents" in my Yorion deck :)
I've been chewing up the ladder with this deck. Thanks for publishing it.. you'll get a join from me. Funny how many times I get the 6/6 on turn 4 and the opponent doesn't read the ward effect. I've played 20ish games with it so far and haven't come across a lovestruck beast yet.
Really interesting deck. I think it may be a bit of a glass cannon, but it's definitely powerful in a way I wasn't sure STX could produce. Enjoyed this one. Thx CGB!
I am in not played Magic arena for at least a year. Nonetheless, I have watched every video since I discovered the channel. Keep up the great work, you are a great source of entertainment.
Can't believe there are only 11 eldraine cards in this deck. Also it seems like visual effekts are rotating out as well. Extinction Event no longer has the black hole animation :(
Delightful stuff! I wonder if Galazeth would fit the deck, another Dragon that makes treasure and lets you use it without sacrificing it. Sculptor felt a little underwhelming overall. Thanks for the video!
I'm gonna do that, replace Sculptor with Galazeth, seems to be a perfect fit. Also I'm gonna run snow lands and Faceless Haven, also seems good, survives that board wipe. I will report how it feels.
I want to try Gadrak, the Crown Scourge with draconic intervention... If you don't reach the 4 treasures quick you have a solid blocker against agro, but great list anyway ;)
i tried to build up (approx) this mutate list ( 28.00 min ) : ) feel free to correct me or try it : 1 Unsummon 1 Spikefield Hazard 1 Sejiri Shelter 4 Pollywog Symbiote 1 Fire Prophecy 1 Thrilling Discovery 1 Search for Glory 1 Divide by Zero 1 Solve the Equation 4 Sea-Dasher Octopus 4 Open the Omenpaths 1 Seize the Spoils 4 Prismari Command 4 Vadrok, Apex of Thunder 1 Ovar, the All-Form 4 Everquill Phoenix 1 Showdown of the Skalds 1 Goldspan Dragon 4 Plains 10 Island 10 Mountain Sideboard : 1 x Spirit Summoning I don t know if this is the exact list but ... maybe it ll work xD this is all the cards you can see him played.
10/10. I'm going to try a Jeskai version, because kicking 8 mana instants with Narset just seems fun. Best of luck with whatever decision you make regarding Twitch/UA-cam.
Btw I watched the Twitch stream it was a blast! I also watched the Zendikar early access one (not Kaldheim tho) and I have to say the "public release day" stream was just as exciting honestly. Bummer that it costs you a few hundred bucks to open all those packs, but it was equally fun to watch as the early access.
I've been really tired with MTGA for the last month. Go longer stretches then before of simply just not wanting to turn on the client cause it has been so dull and boring for a while now. I saw you post this to twitter and was really excited to get back into watching new decks! Now hopefully more people will look to play the new cards!
Looks like not having early access is a good thing. Let’s everyone see how the cards work at the same time. Great videos. Wizard spending money 💰 on other things then early access is better for all of us.
The cards from Strixhaven work well together, but I feel as though they lose value when combined with cards from outside the set. It's nice that the big spells can be used as temporary ramp, but its a bit of a waste if you can't get value out of them being in the graveyard
We love Red-Blue, good old reliable fun combination. However, I've been toying around with a Silverquill list, a Lurrus, Killian auras deck. Killian makes all your removal and All That Glitters cheaper, with Hateful Eidolon to draw you cards and Clarion Spirit to make your board wider since you are casting a lot of cheap spells, and Lurrus allows you to replay everything. A lot of removal with 4 Giant Killer, 2 Swift Response (2 mana destroy any tapped creature), and 2 Blade Vanish (exile any big creatures), alongisde the good old 4 Dead Weight and 4 Mire's Grasp, which all become cheaper with Killian. 3 Board Wipes of your choosing, 3 Call Death Dweller to get Lurrus back, and 4 All That Glitters for a pseudo Voltron wincon (Hateful Eidolon is an enchantment too) on Killian, who has Menace and Lifelink. Speaking of Killian, 4 of him, 4 Eidolon, 4 Clarion Spirit, and 22 lands. Super fun, fast and value effective (in White-Black of all colors, not Green-Blue), not to mention relativly budget, the only Rares are 1 Lurrus, the 3 Board Wipes, and a bit of the mana base.
I wish Magma Opus and Creative Outburst also drew you a card when discarded. Two mana, discard a card just to get a treasure token seems a bit underwhelming, compared to something like cycling... (Although I still haven't watched the matches yet, so perhaps I'll be surprised :) )
That Golgari deck. That's my kind of aggressive Magic. Of course it's probably not a good deck as evidenced by how CGB was just playing with his food for the latter half of the match.
Can someone explain to me why he said in the beginning that he didn't like strixhaven last season or something like that? I thought this pack was new, sorry I'm new to the game.
27:13 A whole season of mono-red frustration coming off his shoulders. A memorable moment right there 😌
Thanks for being a friend! Always appreciate that you do youtube specific uploads
We need a montage that shows all the times CGB calls a card unplayable on Arena Craft and then plays 4 of it in ranked while the end theme of Curb Your Enthusiasm plays 😏
Ohhhh _this_ is where that deck came from. Saw it twice in the queue, couldn't believe 2 players thought up Macrosage companion at once.
CGB's just gonna get absolutely blitzed on 4/20
CovertGoGreen
Me too! Join us!
wow you really are pumping out videos like there's no tomorrow
Because one day, there won't be. Bwuahahahaha!
Is what CGB does best!
Because there isn't one..
But if there is a tomorrow, we will get a video.
And we like it!
800 consecutive days!! I can't even count that high lol.
Sad to miss the live stream yesterday but still happy to get my daily dose CGB
Not even kidding when I say that watching this Izzet build work, literally put a smile on my face (specifically when you went up against the mono red player)
The mutate deck match - sit back, order a pizza, no manual interaction required
I wonder if there's an updated list for that, couldn't find it
@@alessioveber454 I would also like the find that deck
That deck seems like an absolute nightmare to navigate. Imagine using a tutor to tutor a tutor to find a card to discard and use another card you played 10 minutes ago to bring the third card in this sequence back to the battlefield because of an extremely specific interaction.
I hate the mutate mechanic, one of the worst ones in a while
8 o’clock…9 o’clock…
10 o’clock… 11 o’clock…
You put the trigger onto the stack
You keep priority, you don’t go to attacks
Your draw step goes on for days
I watched an episode of Friends in your pre-combat main phase
Teferi’s bothering me, something’s not right
I ain’t played a card since what seems like last night
I should be scooping, probably dead
But you might not have it, so how about instead?
Wake me up before you combo
I just need to know that it’s not a nonbo
Wake me up before you combo
I hope I’m still alive when I die
Wake me up before you combo
Because you just found a cure for insomnia
Wake me up before you combo
Wake me up when I die
Wait, I forgot to scry
I want to jump off that balcony
Yeah those tendrils ain’t the only ones in agony
Manamorphose, I get the gist
You got more Gifts Ungiven than the naughty list
Your turn’s so long, wish it went way faster
You Sneak and Show like a subway flasher
Your storm count’s ticking up so high
An Hour of Eternity? That sounds about right…
Wake me up before you combo
I just need to make sure it’s not a nonbo
Wake me up before you combo
I hope I’m still alive when I die
Wake me up before you combo
Because you just found a cure for insomnia
Wake me up before you combo
Wake me up when I die
I like the fact that Prismari ramps with literal coins. I mean, dragons seem to like coins, right? And someone has to pay for the performers and artists.
'Flamethrower Sonata' sounds like it could be the name of a Diablo Swing Orchestra song 😂
Great video as always CGB, keep it up!
This week is what's gonna pay for his Christmas
how
Thanks for the constant content cgb, really helps me get through my work day!
You can tell CGB's been streaming all day, he keeps asking what we think, if it's prerecorded, it's probably too late!
This was really fun to watch CGB. Congratulations on the 800 episodes, great work :)
I love it when CGBs having so much fun playing new cards
Second opponent definitely forgot they priority checked by going to their second main phase. They wanted to go to combat and swing but accidentally ended their turn instead.
DON'T LISTEN TO THE MAD PERSON THIS IS IZZET. WIZARDS CANNOT AND WILL NOT TAKE THE GUILDS AWAY FROM US!!!
Hey CGB, really like your content! Started MTGA in January and your videos really helped me get into the game. Standard BO1 is always high quality with deep explaining of your plays and brawl ones are very fun makes me want to try every decks! Thank you very much
Standup guy, CGB. Always impressed with the humility and gratitude with which you conduct yourself. May you live love and prosper.
Yeah I also got that UI bug where my quests and friends list don't show. Hope they fix it quick.
I absolutely appreciate your UA-cam content. I learn a great deal and am entertained by you. Thank you for posting.
I’m excited for Strickhaven as Kaldheim was a really good set, and I like the meta being shuffled.
I enjoy how cerebral your approach to Magic is, I have learned much from you.
Game 2: You have Prismari in play as a 6/6 and a dragon in hand. Opponent at 14. You hit for 10. Now the opponent is at 4 and has to have 2 answers and extinction event can't answer both. That was the play: Dragon and Prismari.
I have nothing to say, but I want to help the algorithm.
Not all hero's wear capes
Uh yes, comment comment, comment comment comment comment.
Lol good one
Having watched the podcast, I feel bamboozled to see a deck half made up of cards you trashed not long ago. 😂
Never buy into pre release evaluations
And he never felt so good about being wrong hahaha
Congrats on 801, CGB! Looking forward to what's in store!
That mutate deck was nuts...
Ran into someone playing a deck similar to this earlier today, had no idea what my opponent's deck was when I first started playing him but I am glad that I was testing out 4x "test of talents" in my Yorion deck :)
27:43 CovertGoBlue: Why do I have no quest?
Me: I even have that same problem too.
" THE ELDRAINE SLAYER "
........
Half of the deck is Eldraine
Only Eldraine can beat Eldraine
To defeat a monster you become a monster, maybe?
"I used the stones to destroy the stones" Moment
13:59 the "Hello!" that fell on deaf ears :,(
Thank you discount Jay Leno ;) for what you do. Glad I caught part of your stream. Do what's best for you.
Awesome Deck! Love how much thought you put into the synergy 😎
What was the Izzet deck you mentioned came prior to this one? Thinking of hopping back in and red blue Izzet has always been my fave. Thx.
What are the thoughts about Prismari Dragon in this deck? Does it take too much away from what the deck is trying to do?
I've been chewing up the ladder with this deck. Thanks for publishing it.. you'll get a join from me. Funny how many times I get the 6/6 on turn 4 and the opponent doesn't read the ward effect.
I've played 20ish games with it so far and haven't come across a lovestruck beast yet.
Really interesting deck. I think it may be a bit of a glass cannon, but it's definitely powerful in a way I wasn't sure STX could produce. Enjoyed this one. Thx CGB!
I am in not played Magic arena for at least a year. Nonetheless, I have watched every video since I discovered the channel. Keep up the great work, you are a great source of entertainment.
Never stop playing this deck. Love it.
Around 32:25, why not hold onto the Borrower and then just bounce the whole mutated monster?
Seeing the Blex come down in the final game gave me flashbacks to your stream yesterday of chat just spamming Blex for the Witherbloom deck you built.
Can't believe there are only 11 eldraine cards in this deck.
Also it seems like visual effekts are rotating out as well. Extinction Event no longer has the black hole animation :(
Might be to make the game more playable on mobile
@@Yuzuki1337 yeah I think so too, but it seems they doing it set by set. first the chains from theros now this.
What are your thoughts on the Mono White, Selesnya, and Orzhov Magecraft decks?
At first I read "Get schnooned" and thought it was a reference to MBM
This deck has canooters
SENOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRR!
Comboners
13:20 CGB makes a mistake so grave the opponent concedes out of embarrassment for him 😞
Delightful stuff! I wonder if Galazeth would fit the deck, another Dragon that makes treasure and lets you use it without sacrificing it. Sculptor felt a little underwhelming overall.
Thanks for the video!
I'm gonna do that, replace Sculptor with Galazeth, seems to be a perfect fit. Also I'm gonna run snow lands and Faceless Haven, also seems good, survives that board wipe. I will report how it feels.
Did you consider trying Efreet Flamepainter or was it too impractical to set up?
Does anyone have an updated mutate open the omenpaths list like the one in the vid?
Hey CGB! Great video! Possible to get the deck list? I didn’t find it in the description.
I'm brewing something similar with the big spells but running goblin stuffy doll with a splash of white for narset. It's fun
I want to try Gadrak, the Crown Scourge with draconic intervention...
If you don't reach the 4 treasures quick you have a solid blocker against agro, but great list anyway ;)
Your video transactions are eye-piercer Tenshinhan Solar flare style :D
Awesome deck btw, as always :)
I've been having so much fun with my izzet deck the past few hours. All the eldraine decks last night were cute
Just Great work CGB! Thanks for 800 days in a row!!!! BLANKIES
Stoked to play around with this archetype
Signed up for Twitch just to watch CGB stream yesterday
Nice! Congratulations for 400/801!
i tried to build up (approx) this mutate list ( 28.00 min ) : ) feel free to correct me or try it :
1 Unsummon
1 Spikefield Hazard
1 Sejiri Shelter
4 Pollywog Symbiote
1 Fire Prophecy
1 Thrilling Discovery
1 Search for Glory
1 Divide by Zero
1 Solve the Equation
4 Sea-Dasher Octopus
4 Open the Omenpaths
1 Seize the Spoils
4 Prismari Command
4 Vadrok, Apex of Thunder
1 Ovar, the All-Form
4 Everquill Phoenix
1 Showdown of the Skalds
1 Goldspan Dragon
4 Plains
10 Island
10 Mountain
Sideboard :
1 x Spirit Summoning
I don t know if this is the exact list but ... maybe it ll work xD
this is all the cards you can see him played.
Do we Tubers get to see your sealed run? Mine was abysmal 0-3.
10/10. I'm going to try a Jeskai version, because kicking 8 mana instants with Narset just seems fun. Best of luck with whatever decision you make regarding Twitch/UA-cam.
why no land drop on 13:00
Any idea what would be a good sideboard for BO3?
Comment for the algorithm. The mutate combo deck is what reminds to keep away from older formats.
Just before this video, I was watching a playthrough of a Pests deck and you played against a very similar deck in this video.
I missed the Sea Gate in this decklist
playable as a land and but discarded a 7 mana spell in grave
Ty for this funny deck :)
I'm guessing you wouldn't be shocked that LVD made a Prismari deck also. His had the double strike Efreet instead of the dragon and the sweeper.
So did some other youtuber. It was MTGJeff or something. Kinda strange they all uploaded the same deck for their first strixhaven video
Btw I watched the Twitch stream it was a blast! I also watched the Zendikar early access one (not Kaldheim tho) and I have to say the "public release day" stream was just as exciting honestly. Bummer that it costs you a few hundred bucks to open all those packs, but it was equally fun to watch as the early access.
One CGB video?
No.
Two CGB videos?
No.
Three CGB videos?
Oh. Hell. Yes.
I've been really tired with MTGA for the last month. Go longer stretches then before of simply just not wanting to turn on the client cause it has been so dull and boring for a while now.

cant wait to see all the new expansion decks
We love Red-Blue, good old reliable fun combination.
However, I've been toying around with a Silverquill list, a Lurrus, Killian auras deck.
Killian makes all your removal and All That Glitters cheaper, with Hateful Eidolon to draw you cards and Clarion Spirit to make your board wider since you are casting a lot of cheap spells, and Lurrus allows you to replay everything.
A lot of removal with 4 Giant Killer, 2 Swift Response (2 mana destroy any tapped creature), and 2 Blade Vanish (exile any big creatures), alongisde the good old 4 Dead Weight and 4 Mire's Grasp, which all become cheaper with Killian.

Any ideas for a bo3 sideboard?
This feels like a deck I might enjoy to play.
Woohoo!! Daily CGB UA-cam vid!!!
an Izzet deck that doesn't rely on annoying counterspells, I can get behind a meta like this.
I had the same bugg with the quests. Thay are back now though.
I’m so excited for this set
CGB will surpass the Undertaker streak at this rate.
Model spells resolve from top to bottom. Think of how Rankle's ability causes discard before drawing a card, as that's the order of the modes.
Gotta ask thou why not royal scions
Man that punt at game 2 playing another Torrent Sculptor... If you played the Dragon instead that was the game right there.
Yeah, he even explained how there was literally no combination of kill spells that could deal with them, haha
ah this is deck that have been showing up againts me a lorehold aggro , godamn netdecker
Amazing synergies!
Cgb you 🪨 man. Always enjoy watching the vids. Always consistent with lines of play.
I wonder if there's a transformative sideboard plan that's worth it here.
Really appreciate the content, cgb
How long until Vadrok is banned from online play?
Why MTGNerdGirl don't post the video !
Now this is the video i'm looking forward the most on UA-cam. Drafting with CovertGoBlue ;)
Deck is fresh, and thanks as always for your content. The opening day stream was fun.
Is this a deck you buy in Arena?
Only 11 eldraine card to fight eldraine? Wow
I wish Magma Opus and Creative Outburst also drew you a card when discarded. Two mana, discard a card just to get a treasure token seems a bit underwhelming, compared to something like cycling...
(Although I still haven't watched the matches yet, so perhaps I'll be surprised :) )
That Golgari deck. That's my kind of aggressive Magic. Of course it's probably not a good deck as evidenced by how CGB was just playing with his food for the latter half of the match.
can we get a tibalt focused deck??? i just love the dang card so much
Can someone explain to me why he said in the beginning that he didn't like strixhaven last season or something like that?
I thought this pack was new, sorry I'm new to the game.
