OP: I play all my hand onto the battlefield.
CGB: I use the Farewell you saw me get.
Surprised Pikachu
Man people really use OP to refer to anyone these days
@@professortuskIn this case OP = opponent not original poster
he probably knew he was fucked and just wanted to do his dailies at that point lmfao
CGB's impression of Palpatine is too damn good. Such is the power of the Dark Si- I mean, Azorius Control.
same thing.
We need more covert go sidious! 🤣
make it a short plz so i can send it to ppl
I can't lie... you getting sent after admitting to being greedy on not casting the Farewell was ever-so slightly satisfying
It was. :-D
More than slightly. I was like dude you are playing with fire there just cause you want more cards. Could have compromised too is the worst part….didn’t have to exile the graveyard.
@@jimbo103189that play there was like the only way to lose and he chose that path 😂
@@haoboyang1996 A few months, I did a beautiful play against an Enchantment deck that neutralized their entire board presence and was about to give me a massive win. Turns out my opponent had boseiju in hand which I could not counter which reversed the play and I died next turn. Channel lands win a lot of games. :)
Yes, yes, punish that unreasonable greed, so stupid lose
cgb being a relatable arena player for 67 minutes straight
Kabe Wolf with the giga brain compiling the complexities of each possible board state
Funny thing is that I always thought 12 counters was the bare minimum for a control deck
😂
I know felt a little thin given how it feels to play against them.
I remember when 12 board wipes was a normal thing in standard.
@@1Shayz1doomskar into farewell into blood on the snow into meathook massacre 🥲
@@erikblomqvist83258 card draw 4 shark typhoon. Card draw with a token!
The CGB play by play commentary was pure gold. Haven't laughed like that in a while. Love seeing you have fun with Magic again!
" It's my favorite archetype, there will be zero misplay in this one "..... Dies with a Farewell in hand with only 4 life left...
The throw of all throws not playing Farewell at 32:50
Legend has it that KabeWolf is still out there somewhere, roping another opponent.
So great watching CGB having a grand old time with Azorius control!
Oh look, it's Mono Blues Slightly less annoying Older Brother Azorious Control. Lol, I hate playing against it with my Esper Tokens deck but at this point, it's if you can't beat em, join em.
Great vid CGB
They really need to create a que for all of the ropers. They can just sit there and rope each other while the rest of us play magic in the regular que.
Always fun to see another 29 land deck. Arena gaming at its finest 👨🍳😙
When he said 27 lands means a land drop each turn I laughed. Not in arena.
@CGB, funny enough I was the one building the 11 counterspells deck that Sonio played against and then replicated in his video, and I did that based on a CGB deck from a while ago 🤣🤣
I usually play control or combo but had to stop playing Arena a while ago because of people roping. every. single. turn. and salty roping. I really don't mind long games, as long as people PLAY the game! Just couldn't handle being roped to death lol, guess I have at least THAT to work on myself. Love the content, sir. Keep 'em coming!
You know you’re fired up about a deck when you hit an hour standard video😂
And the 1 hour video probably still has fewer games in it.
@@olafthemoose9413i used go watch his longer videos 100%. I love longer videos, if he uploaded 2hrs a day… i think I would still watch all of them!
Its nice watching him have fun.
The palpatine impression is fire. I’m cackling. Love this content!!!
Title: They can't handle it!
First opponent: Wanna see how I make you cry?
One of the funniest CGB performances I’ve seen in awhile lmao
When CGB plays azorius control, with over an hour of footage... I watch it all! Love it.
And the award for worst emperor Palpatine impersonation goes to.
I recommend having a book on hand for rope moments to help decrease the frustration.
10/10 Emperor impression. Would “Dew it” again.
42:48: "I just wanted to play fun magic..."
The decklist:
Maniacal Emperor CGB is my favorite CGB
@2:20 I'm actually dying laughing.
It's always funny to me how CGB takes it as a personal slight against his honor, Magic itself and common human decency when aggro beats control. Love the videos as always though :)
I feel like we need one of your late night quieter vids after this. It was like CGB got bit by a radioactive CGB with maximum ego, irritation, and screech activated lol it was amusing but I also once had eardrums :D
33:36 Full Greed on display.
"The counterspells will be quite operational when your spells arrive"
楽しそうで何よりです。
気持ち良さそうでしたが赤単相手の土地事故は辛そうでしたね...。
This reminds me of a deck a friend of mine had. We called it “Mother May I”. Counters and removal. The only win con was your lack of patience.
We hated him. We loved him. As long as you kept at it eventually he’d have nothing. Eventually.
At 23:19 a mono red player was born.
“So whats your wincon exactly”
“Oh my wincon is decking you out”
“Uhm… do you have anything to mill me then?”
“Nope! I just fetch clear the mind from my sideboard at some point and shuffle my graveyard into my library.”
“And then you wait.”
“And then I wait.”
“This is disgusting and I hate you for it”.
24:00 i wonder if opponents will ever realize how much satisfaction you get out of being roped.
I love the emperor palpatine lines! CGB my anti-hero!
Question: using Jace sleeves or a Jace avatar and playing aggro is wrong, or is it the ultimate Jace move, by playing mind games and tricking the oponent?
41:32 CGB coringando kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
34:19 hahah too greedy you're punished :P ^^
If you think you heard a high-pitched sound (maybe a wail) in the distance, that was John Williams hearing CGB trying to sign/hum Vader's theme. I'm still waiting to see if my spinal fluids return to equilibrium.
Loved it. Thanks CGB.
8:16 kinda did this one to yourself man 😂😅
funny how in paper magic you never struggle to hit a 3rd land in a 27 land deck. but on arena it happens all of the time.
I mean you do. Maybe you do it less but you still do. Through the sheer amount of games played on arena it feels like you're getting screwed a lot more often than you are in paper.
Countering spells -> 😜
Getting your spells countered -> 🤬
Kabewolf ropping from turn one is exactly the type of player that destroy the experience of mtg arena. And you always get one of those at least once a session for some reason
Could it be they stream-sniped them?
KabeWolf probably got to plat 3 fast by games conceded by impatient opponents.
That first game warmed my soul to the core. Nothing on Arena is more satisfying than watching a UW durdle you-can't-do-nothing deck get run over 1-2-3.
Bro not farewelling that graveyard deck was gigacringe. What in the world were you thinking????
If you run a hypergeometric calculator, you need 13 1- or 2-drops to consistently (91%+) cast something by turn 2 (not accounting for Bo1 shuffler), whereas this deck was running 11. A deck that has a critical turn of 4 also wants some of those to help find land (draw/loot/scry/siphon insight/etc.). Those were a bigger issue than the land count; 27 lands + Celestus is already quite a lot. TL;DR: think Xerox theory before adding too many lands.
11 counterspells is almost as many as I use in my aggro decks
It is comforting to see I'm not the only one still stuck at Platinum T4
saheeli popcorn is the best emote for a roper lmao
Man, that LotR song plays on such a short loop.
58:06 and on, was só satisfying
Back from a years break playing. Got 9 counters in my deck. Took some out last week in favour of some removals. Must have had like 15 before... its fun though to counter everything. Keeping an empty board.
I’m guessing first the enchantment deck roping guy was lagging in the first part of the game. Probably downloading anime or something.
27 so we don't miss a land drop. Gets mana screwed every game xD
So did you Google Buehler blue before posting that 11 counters is a lot?
Loved the deck. Could use more counterspells, though
30:30 Literally all you have to do is fucking farewell. It's not rocket science, you can even leave your fucking incubate token on the battlefield! All you have to do is use the fucking sweeper in your hand to win the game!
They should change his name to Calix, Guided by Topdecks
At 54:00 you could Field of Ruin their basic land and get the planeswaker back
field of ruin says target nonbasic land
@@dabeul3101 oh true
i'm confused, why did the Kumano at 36:10 cost 3 mana?
Soul Partition exiles a card and if its an opponents card they can replay it but it costs 2 extra mana thats why it cost 3
I feel like Darth Covert-idious has given this deck his blessings
cgb makes a great sith lord for a uw player
Why not 28 lands and 10 counters? I don't think the shuffler would make that much mana screw difference of 28 to 29
I wonder if he practices that Palpatine impression in the mirror. Lol
33:50 The greed got ya. I was screaming at my screen for you to Farewell but I guess you didnt hear me...
Also, the game against KabeWolf was so ANNOYING to watch.
Game one was hot 🔥
The Branduin River flows through the Shire. They cross it at Buckleberry Ferry in the book. In the hobbit tongue, it is counted as the Brandywine river. Also, where the One Ring was found by Smeagol, I believe.
Do a deck around Ajani every version and mass token creation
Not going to lie, the best game was the one you lost to the Sultai unearth deck. The oppressive "fun police" deck versus de jank.
May be you can try the deck the other guy was playing, try to meld titania (I know you don't have a good history with melding if your Misha meld deck is a reference but it would be cool if you got it).
I can't believe how frequently I get mana screwed playing against mono-red. It's time Wotc rectified it. Truly disheartened and sick of it
Some people can't read cards. I play Historic ranked with 4x Archon of Absolution plus copy effects in my deck. My opponent wonders why they can't attack with all with no mana available.
Not using the wandering emperor avatar was the problem
monored 18 lands 5 land by turn 5
this deck 27 lands stuck at 3 drops by turn 6
Its literally impossible, but arena make it look like its normal...
I don't think people who rope their opponent realize that there's no better feeling in MTGA than making someone so salty that they rope to death. Bonus points if they're playing the most stock standard deck in the format.
very nice vid, lad
cgb : i play counter spell deck. 1st game classic forceloss monowhite.
im a simple man, i see counter, i click
Who ropes control decks?
People who don't seem to understand they're literally letting us win so much sooner than we were gonna 😂
Control players: "Roping?!? I want to waste my OPs time and stop them from playing their game - not the other way around!"
23:53 Snow Covered Plains???
KabeWolf, if you're reading this s, for the love of god press the space bar.
I think the enchantment player game later on was jest seeing the log in screen from game crashes. That's the only reason the attack rope came out like that. Surely they didn't just go snail when they had freedom to play and sonic during the control section.
Hope so. Or had a really important dispute to settle with their signifant other.
41:42 LMAO
If you had the makeup on and the robe you would actually look exactly like the emperor too.
This is just going to get worse unless we just get reprints of counters already in standard for the next year.
6:21 the avergae intelligence of a standart player.
love the pile, but devious cover up should be here too. Although with it in, it's gonna win less games
It's in the sideboard, so you can get it with the invasion in games where you live long enough to need it.
Palpatine opitomises MTGA's speedrun to the dark side in the modern meta. Single card board wipes, win con lands with infinite value, counterspells and decks with no creatures. I miss the time you both built up your board and arm wrestled, with creature battles won or lost by +1's from instants.
I'm a big fan of Ertai's Scorn. The cost reduction matters alot. Combine it with Haughty Djinn and you get a consistent 1 mana counter anything.
It's maybe the only deck where it matters, and it's just because of the djinn
Shuffler approved. Two games of mana screw with 27 lands in deck. Never go over 26 just saying 😅
MTG: Arena really miss quick format - like rope coming out when your turn starts or something like that
Wizards, for the sake of CGB's sanity, MAKE AZORIUS CTRL GREAT AGAIN thanks
I think it's in a good place right now actually.
Eventually, playing control tilts the control player.
Insane we're still casting Memory Deluge in standard.
It's a good card why should we not be casting Memory Deluges anymore?
@@olafthemoose9413 Yeah, it should have rotated. Or I guess it should rotate next month.
@@dr.zoidberg8666they changed standard rotaiton its an extra year now
Shoulda Farewelled when you had a chance...
40:25
bro 90% sure that your opponent was lagging not that he was taking a long time to make a decision.
The rope mechanic NEEDS to be fixed. I understand the reason for its existence and duration, but it's SO aggravating to all the others.
Plus the game is not new: the COULD come up with a better mechanic for it.
- Maybe the duration of rope / number of "rope charges" can be diminished, proportionally to how high you are in the rank (the higher you get, the shorter the rope ) ?
- Maybe a "thinking" button can be used to notify your opponent that you need time and THAT gives you rope (whereas simple inactivity doesn't?)
- Maybe users can get extra in-game currency / cosmetics / achievements /prices for accepting to play with shorter ropes, or for not using ropes?
- A combination of the above?
- Something else I can't think of?
But seriously, guys, do something!
I don't think I hate anything as much as I hate green white enchantments
