Just remember, I'm only doing this to help the UA-cam algorithm. It's not because I get any sort of sick satisfaction from it. Missed lethal at 31:08. Pump Radha, swing for 22 or 23 if you play the land first.
There will once be time when CGB says "Skadoosh, we got magic the gatheringed, it's too bad, on to the next one" and it will be the biggest crossover event ever
Great job taking the high road there CGB and bring honest with us and yourself about yourself Edit: Thanks for the heart man. I mean it. I find you to be in general a class act and to be more forthcoming than most especially when you have a bad day and want you to know the honesty is appreciated.
I never stopped to see the number of subscribers of the MTG channels I follow. I knew that Tolarian Community College was the largest one (of all internetz), but I always thought you were at least half behind. Go forth CGB, your content and your responsibility are awesome and it's just a question of time for you to get the recognizement you deserve =)
uh, just not true. Temur elementals has always been powerful, it's just 1-2 turns too slow for a very aggro-centric bo1 meta. Which is the exact same issue he had with ramping.
I appreciate your smugness, CGB! I can only speak for myself, but I know that I will never have the smarts, time or energy to get as good as you have gotten and watching you win is kind of like living vicariously! Thanks again for your awesome content and I also want to say that your humility at the end won my subscription!
If you're worthy of parodying, it shows you have a distinctive style and that you're popular enough for the parody to "land" with enough people. I'd say you've made it! Keep doing what you do CGB, you're awesome.
Hi CGB :) 21.30 don't apologize for taking your time to think to play well. That is what makes you such a good player and one of the reasons why I like to watch your vids !!!
Congrats on the streak. Saw the BBG parody video last night before this and thought it was hilarious. Looking forward to the upcoming epic CGB and BBG contest videos.
It took me a while to get used to the snark of your personality but as time has passed and I've learned more about magic, I find a lot of your attitude totally justified. A lot of the things you complain about I also find myself getting very upset with. I really enjoy the content, and you've quickly become my favorite magic player.
40:04 And YET AGAIN, the card you desperately needed the previous match and didn't show up (Ugin in this particular case) shows up right away in your next starting hand.
hey CGB there's any possibility that you change the facecam window to somewhere that doesn't overlaps the battlefield? This way we could see all of your creatures.
@@covertgoblue thanks, it has been hard work though. People say I should take a break from my viewing schedule. I think they just need to take a break.
Came from hearthstone and have been playing for 4 months now, finding streamers who post regularly and have innovative ideas, whilst explaining enough of what’s happening so I’m not lost is hard. But CGB I watch at least 3 vids a day and you’re the reason I can’t stick to one deck! Hope you’re here for a while mate 👍
44:10 +1 on the Vivien, swing at the Ugin? It seems odd that they chose to kill the Omnath and not the Ugin there. That +2 for an extra turn is more value than the Omnath would've given. Just an odd play to me I guess, especially given they had a chump blocker if they were worried about Omnath counters.
I play a similar deck but load up on terror of peaks and elder garagoths. And lutri for that added bonus of copying genesis which is is rare but def awesome to pull off
I’ve been playing this deck all day today, gotta say that it’s nice to see the impact of videos like this at the same time that it is highly annoying that no one in the play queue make their own a decks :D. I enjoy your content though.
As a dimir control player, Garruk's Harbringer gives me scares even worse when they have the Shifty Ceratops too. That's too turns of having two different colors and answers available. Green has gotten so strong in the recent sets, all from ramp, insane spells, effective removal, lifegain, card draw and as always great or even ridiculous creatures.
First time commenting as a long time fan. I am really glad you could take BBG's video with humor. I love your content and it would be sad if something like that would discourage you being you.
Yo CGBs thought processes make me a better magic gamer. The Mana base, thinking ahead to the next players turn and potential leads to what comes next helps me. I'm sure it doesn't need to be said that CGB should keep being himself and smashing ranked. I watch the vids everyday.
great site! love your channel,it's one of the better ones. just a question about the last two days,i've been constantly getting waiting for server message after a game was played.it takes forever like 30 plus minutes. is something going on with the site? everything else on my computer is fine.
44:05 "I don't think they can kill the Ugin with this combination of cards." They could have done 4 damage to it with Vivien, then made an unblockable attack with their Stonecoil Serpent. (Also, even if the attack could have been blocked, there would have been 1 trample damage going through, which would kill it anyway.)
I saw this too. It made me so upset to see a mythic #77 player miss this play. Why do I get stuck in gold rank when someone can get to mythic by missing plays like that. I don't mind that CGB also didn't see the play. CGB is playing his own brew and this mono-green looked cookie cutter. If you're going to play a net deck, at least play well.
Picked this back up and have been playing this since the ban. I’ll have to try Ugin and terror I still run scampers and baby Chandra for the insane reef triggers
37:06 how can a high mythic player miss not attacking with Linden??? Would have given 5 more points of damage and two more counters... And then three seconds later pump your just played to be left behind Ajani *slap!*
Love the video and the way you take the high road. You are a man of truly great integrity. I un-subbed from bbg months ago when he didn't understand a very common rule and butchered it in one of his spoiler videos. After seeing 5 minutes of his video, it just reaffirmed my decision. Bravo. Keep up the great work.
@3:17 when he said sweepers or creatures I thought of Spaceballs, maybe next rotation we will lose the sweeps, the bleeps and the creeps ua-cam.com/video/B9K4N328OI8/v-deo.html
Played the entire current rotation on paper with the elementals deck. Risen Reef and Omnath are so much fun to play, especially together with Nissa. Gonna be real sad when they rotate out since this pandemic stopped all physical events in my LGS and I couldn't really play with them for the last few months
when I see the title of the video I always think "this must be the best deck in standard". But then I see the next video's title; "wow that deck must be even better". Keep up the good work and the detailed explanation of your decision making.
i've always played elementals, prefer to abuse risen reef and then scampering scorcher or omnath to win. gonna miss risen reef after rotation. elementals will be a thing of the past. also love your content!
I play scampers too. It’s more fun to draw 6 cards and put a ton of land in play and then go off with Nissa mana and head shot the opponent with O daddy ping
Is there a place to share a deck idea that I know you'd like.. It is blue white control.. very similar to one you posted almost a year ago but updated. You have a genius approach to playing and I feel you'd appreciate a high skill cap control deck concept ;)
Only just recently started watching. Really enjoying your videos and your humour. Keep up the good work, am sure you'll hit mythic number 1. Maybe with a low IQ deck just to add more salt to the world 😜
I watch bc of how you are, not in spite of it. #coolkidsclub Will you please play comp? I know you don't think you have the temperament for it, but your decks and plays are better than most of the field last weekend!
I had the funniest scoop ever running this deck. I had a board full of creatures and when a guy running a mono white enchant deck pumped his guy to 18 and then spent a mana to make his ginger brute unblockable by non haste creatures...............and I had a Nissa land out. Soon as I blocked he scooped.
I've been playing Temur Elementals for a while as a favorite deck, here's my list: aetherhub.com/Deck/temur-elemental-329666 I built the deck around small Chandra, abusing her summon two elementals that die at the end of turn. If it sticks even one turn, it combos like crazy with Risen Reef and Overgrowth Elemental for ramp, card draw, heal, etc. One Thassa that can blink Omnath or Risen Reef every turn. Overgrowth Elemental honestly might be the anti-aggro pick you're looking for. Giving that +1/+1 to the Leafkin Druid makes it such a good blocker. Getting to ramp to 6-mana Chandra for a one-sided sweep is really powerful, I'm really surprised it didn't make it into your deck.
Just remember, I'm only doing this to help the UA-cam algorithm. It's not because I get any sort of sick satisfaction from it.
Missed lethal at 31:08. Pump Radha, swing for 22 or 23 if you play the land first.
34 if double pump after declaring attackers (here for the algorithm as well)
Yup lol
There will once be time when CGB says "Skadoosh, we got magic the gatheringed, it's too bad, on to the next one" and it will be the biggest crossover event ever
"This deck is going to pound town but let's crack this puppy open"
"Magic's easy, just *_U U U R O"_*
"it's okay Billy the deck's too bad don't cry"
What a time to be alive.
Haaat dowgs my hair is crazy today
Great job taking the high road there CGB and bring honest with us and yourself about yourself
Edit: Thanks for the heart man. I mean it. I find you to be in general a class act and to be more forthcoming than most especially when you have a bad day and want you to know the honesty is appreciated.
Hi CGB. What a great response to the parody. Amazing to see such personal growth taking place through the arena community. Keep it up :)
Thank you
The link to Bad Boy is one of the most high-road demonstrations of grace. For real.
I never stopped to see the number of subscribers of the MTG channels I follow. I knew that Tolarian Community College was the largest one (of all internetz), but I always thought you were at least half behind. Go forth CGB, your content and your responsibility are awesome and it's just a question of time for you to get the recognizement you deserve =)
Thank you. I'll keep at it. :-)
Correction: Temur elementals is not powerful.
Temur Ramp + Ugin with a side of elementals is powerful.
uh, just not true. Temur elementals has always been powerful, it's just 1-2 turns too slow for a very aggro-centric bo1 meta. Which is the exact same issue he had with ramping.
I appreciate your smugness, CGB!
I can only speak for myself, but I know that I will never have the smarts, time or energy to get as good as you have gotten and watching you win is kind of like living vicariously!
Thanks again for your awesome content and I also want to say that your humility at the end won my subscription!
I’ve learned so much from you as you talk through your choices. Lots of gratitude for making thoughtful, transparent play part of your shtick.
I appreciate that!
Congrats on 550! On to the next.
7:26 - 15:04 Epic game vs Mono Green Aggro!
Always fun to watch. Love the attitude. Keep it UP. Like your content more than others.
Glad you enjoy it!
So I will see a lot of elementals tomorrow. Saw your Jeskai list a lot today. Your influence on bo1 is kind of scary.
CGB I love you bud and I don’t think you’re arrogant. I really respect you for taking the high road and just being a kind and positive dude.
If you're worthy of parodying, it shows you have a distinctive style and that you're popular enough for the parody to "land" with enough people. I'd say you've made it! Keep doing what you do CGB, you're awesome.

Thank you
Much respect man. Good video.
Much appreciated
12:11 That turn shows that CGB earned his rank. Great plays.
Gratz on 555 !!!
you be fine - don't change for anyone but yourself
You're doing pretty great this season, keep it up!
Thanks! :-) Will do.

CGB is cool. The mocking video was funny and I think he saw the humor in it. Still, it might of been a hard watch lol.
Mocking video?
Great creator, great deck, great content. keep up with it! greetings from germany :)
I am glad Joey Moss made a mock video for the lolz. Glad to have found you.
Keep on being you and awesome! Dang you are high up in the ranks now. 💪
55:00 those MTG-Assistant stats at the end are pretty sweet
550 videos straight. That is just amazing
@31:10 Missed lethal :) my first time being able to say that. No blockers, no mana, turn everything sideways, pump radha
40:04 And YET AGAIN, the card you desperately needed the previous match and didn't show up (Ugin in this particular case) shows up right away in your next starting hand.
Love that you make peace with bad boy gaming!
hey CGB there's any possibility that you change the facecam window to somewhere that doesn't overlaps the battlefield? This way we could see all of your creatures.
Green screen background looks great as well.
Everyone in Play queue today was playing full Temur Adventures. :/
It wasn't touched by the ban. Netdecking at its finest.
I guess we will be seeing a lot of Clovers again.
@@gunm808 Untill some new deck breaks the format. It's the reason I give up arena. I play magic to have fun, not to face metadeck after metadeck.
Congrats on the 550 CGB. Think I've watched them all. High quality entertainment 👌
Glad you like them!
@@covertgoblue thanks, it has been hard work though. People say I should take a break from my viewing schedule. I think they just need to take a break.
Been wanting to play temur elementals for forever. Perfect timing to sate my elemental thirst.
I have my own temur elementals deck, if you are interested I can send you the list!
@@anxoviqueira2669 yeah that sounds great!
Came from hearthstone and have been playing for 4 months now, finding streamers who post regularly and have innovative ideas, whilst explaining enough of what’s happening so I’m not lost is hard.

Glad you're having fun with decks and enjoying the videos!
Can you do a BO1 UW control deck with Baneslayer Angel post-ban version? By the way, big fan. :)
Maybe. And thank you!
Thanks for another great video and congratulations on your streak.
Thank you!
Love that you have taken the high road after Bad Boy Gaming tried to provoke you
Awesome friendly feud there. Good response to BBG. Keep it up.
44:10

15:00 found lethal! gratz
I do a 4 color elem deck and it's great to have 2 yaroks out when omnath hits with like 5-8 more elems on table.
That knights deck at the end... I was on the edge of my seat.
I play a similar deck but load up on terror of peaks and elder garagoths. And lutri for that added bonus of copying genesis which is is rare but def awesome to pull off
I think it means joey likes. He watches your videos. I think you two have great personalities.

Newer follower here, your content is great, been marathoning a lot of MTG content working at home and find your vids most entertaining
Awesome, thank you!
I haven't played the video yet but Im hoping for that top 1 : D No other magic youtuber deserves it more than our boy CGB
Been watching BBG and CGB for a while now, love both styles 🤪
Great vid, got to watch an epic win from one life, to then see a loss from an out of control 2 drop.
First time commenting as a long time fan. I am really glad you could take BBG's video with humor. I love your content and it would be sad if something like that would discourage you being you.

Amazing game against Mono-green ending around 15 mins in! Elementals are great for winning from behind.
Totally missed lethal at 31:10 (you know for the algorithm) As a dedicated fan of Radha can't hold back myself to mention that!
This is a respectable answer to the Bad Boy Gaming
That was the 2nd parody by joey moss right? And he had a cool kids Club tag in the back^^
44:05 "I don't think they can kill the Ugin with this combination of cards."

The what, the what, and the what??
You’re the best man!
Thank you
Day 38/750 of asking CGB to play a deck around Dream Trawler, Magic Mirror, and the Teferi draw more enchantment.
Two years is 730. Unless you're counting what you already did.
Also, rotation is a thing.
@@TrophyGuide101 you're not up to date
That enchantment was sweet with growth spiral... then again I think growth spiral was just sweet
@@TrophyGuide101 you're either being sarcastic or.
If you have to ask, you haven't been around for long enough.
@@TrophyGuide101
You're * first off
Read the comments, this dude has been commenting for at least 38 days
oh shit been wanting to see a deck with these colors can't wait to see how this goes
32:02 if you shock in steam vents you have enough mana to activate Radha for the win!
This deck is amazing....💪💪💪....tks....saludos desde Chile...con este me voy rápido a mitico.

Gonna be real sad when they rotate out since this pandemic stopped all physical events in my LGS and I couldn't really play with them for the last few months
So what? COVID show us that arena is the way of the future for Magic the gathering.
550 days! Go CGB, you're awesome :)
when I see the title of the video I always think "this must be the best deck in standard". But then I see the next video's title; "wow that deck must be even better". Keep up the good work and the detailed explanation of your decision making.
Glad you enjoy it!
Since Teferi is finally gone, I'd love to see a Finale of Promise deck before something else comes along that shuts it down!
So looking forward to this!
That monowhite mind game player tho. Handled the game like a boss
Anyone else notice that best of one is infested with whichever deck CGB plays each day?
Honestly I Like your arrogant side. It Entertains me a lot. 👍👍👍 The Cool Kids Club
Cool Kids for life
i've always played elementals, prefer to abuse risen reef and then scampering scorcher or omnath to win. gonna miss risen reef after rotation. elementals will be a thing of the past. also love your content!
I liked it more with banefire... pre aether gust being everywhere
I play scampers too. It’s more fun to draw 6 cards and put a ton of land in play and then go off with Nissa mana and head shot the opponent with O daddy ping

s-tier handling of that parody vid.

Oh, another for the algo, you know, cheers to the 550th consecutive day of releasing a yt video!
Very interesting deck! But... no Fae of Wishes?
How is this possible?
Damn and thumbs up for the shoutout at then end!
!bbg
;-)
Joey and you should definitely battle of the jank
Did anyone else hear him say IntroDecktion to the deck? Or was it just me?
Now I have to watch that Bad Boy video
Only just recently started watching. Really enjoying your videos and your humour.
Keep up the good work, am sure you'll hit mythic number 1. Maybe with a low IQ deck just to add more salt to the world 😜
Welcome aboard!
Why no 6-mana Chandra? One sided board clear can be devastating.
Ayyyy, I see what you did there!
SKAADOOSH!
I watch bc of how you are, not in spite of it. #coolkidsclub
Will you please play comp? I know you don't think you have the temperament for it, but your decks and plays are better than most of the field last weekend!
Maybe. Thanks for being part of #coolkidsclub.
Totally got faked out by the title. Thought it was going to be a counter parody.
Me too :(
Same only came here for a crazy crossover. BBG brought me here. I stayed for extra strats.
I did too. Was hoping CGB would open with a "skadoosh" or a "what's up ma ninja's"
Omnath Locus of the Party put in work this video
My favorite type of deck!
I had the funniest scoop ever running this deck. I had a board full of creatures and when a guy running a mono white enchant deck pumped his guy to 18 and then spent a mana to make his ginger brute unblockable by non haste creatures...............and I had a Nissa land out. Soon as I blocked he scooped.
I was not elementally prepared for this
Chance for Glory NotLikeThis congrats on the rank
CGB you dont apologize for taking too long...its not 0 IQ deck and your thought process is very interesting to hear
You have a style at least 75k people enjoy. Be yourself, it’s working.
I've been playing Temur Elementals for a while as a favorite deck, here's my list: aetherhub.com/Deck/temur-elemental-329666
I built the deck around small Chandra, abusing her summon two elementals that die at the end of turn. If it sticks even one turn, it combos like crazy with Risen Reef and Overgrowth Elemental for ramp, card draw, heal, etc. One Thassa that can blink Omnath or Risen Reef every turn. Overgrowth Elemental honestly might be the anti-aggro pick you're looking for. Giving that +1/+1 to the Leafkin Druid makes it such a good blocker. Getting to ramp to 6-mana Chandra for a one-sided sweep is really powerful, I'm really surprised it didn't make it into your deck.
