Downloaded and installed. I'm surprised at how little I need to craft to make most meta decks - I've been drafting to collect the rares from Eldraine forward and would apparently have no problem crafting for the top 20 Standard Bo1 decks. Nice to know!
Got it! I'm coming from Hearthstone (a while ago anyways) and I've been wondering if there was a deck buddy/tracker similar to one I used in that game. Thanks for the tip, glad to support your work!
I was going through the comments and saw more negativity than normal so I just wanted to say something. I haven’t watched the video yet but CGB, you work very hard everyday to give away free content and I APPRECIATE IT! The people who come on comments to complain don’t seem to know or care how hard you work. I will be reupping my twitch subscription, I have used you CGB5 promo code, and I will continue to watch as many videos as you can put out to help you continue your dream of being a content creator and doing the thing that you love the most. Keep on keepin’ on bro!
This was a great watch. I love pretty much all your content, there's very few episodes I've missed in the last ~year or so, but I really love the more tactical/strategic competitive content. You and Mono Black are probably my two favorites, you're like two sides of the same coin
Just wanted to let you know I clicked your link and downloaded MTGAssistant. I enjoy your videos for the thoughtful commentary to really go through not only the deck pieces but the interactions within it. It's very insightful, and it has greatly helped my son learn more about the game. Thank you for your time and commitment!
I usually just watch through your stuff and especially the games on the ladder. I felt I should say I appreciate what you are doing and if someone says that you are doing it wrong, well maybe they are doing one thing at a time and don't have to comment on every play they make to make it fun to watch. You play a lot of different decks and you just keep em' coming even though it is kinda end of the season and the meta is kinda set. Keep on rocking in the free world! Stay salty and shrug all the stupid stuff that people say. As a matter of fact you should prob just let someone else scan through the comments and let them say if something is even useful to make a note on for your future endeavors. For me, the crap just sticks and I am sadly very bad at taking the good comments to heart.
OfficialMaddeck I‘ve conceded many times in that situation bc I value my lifetime much higher than my rank in MTG Arena. I‘ve also encountered players doing that in unranked games, though...
Would you consider cutting two land for two Scorching Dragonfire? Sometimes, you just gotta spot remove a Linden, Mayhem Devil, Planeswalker, Dreadhorde Butcher, etc. without paying 4 mana and without having to worry about "on death" effects, or worrying about it coming back from the graveyard. It seemed like there were a number of times in your games that would have been useful.
Hey, you good looking and professional guy. Happy to see you have found a partner in MTGA Assistant who supports you and who you think is worth teaming up with. Love the content
such a nice thing to see. a deck being built based on a shuffling and hand smoothing algorithm. as someone who played for over 10 years with the actual cards, ive never seen people run a 25-30 land deck and the shit actually work consistantly. id love to see you people try this shit in person lmao. aside from stuff like valakut anyway
Since you say something about the shuffler at around 46:00 I HAVE to mention that I just played a game where I drew all 24 lands in my deck and had 25 cards still lefty in my deck. I gained a bunch of life at the start of the match, then he cleared my board. Then he tried to generate like 30 1/1 tokens off of an enchantment.. to which i ugin the ENTIRE board. He probably had over 35 damage on the board but needed just a few more tokens to get past my defense. It was easily the most satisfying win I have ever had in my short time playing magic lol
I built almost the exact same list yesterday, main difference was scorching dragon fire instead of opt. I really like that you swapped out the stomping grounds with temples!
You are good looking and a real professional. I mean it cgb. Thank you for your help and explanations with every deck! I reached mythic for the first time this past season with your mono white lifegain deck. And i am a free to play Player. You teached me so much of magic in the last months. Thats why i wanted to say thanks a lot and i love your Content and your humor! Chears from germany!
@@AJKiesel well I learned something new. I never knew the origins of "QQ" but I've heard it used a lot during online gaming awhile ago, so makes sense it was Warcraft II.
I played against this exact deck today in the play queue (no surprise) and stomped on it - the poor opponent wiped my board twice with Storms Wrath, bounced my Nyxbloom, and even hard-cast a Shark Typhoon, but didn't draw a single Reclamation in the entire game. I think that right there is the main weakness of this deck - it's built around one card, and it's basically crap without it.
I sometimes stay up at night wondering the important questions in life, such as "Is CGB good looking and professional?" and then I tell myself "No, he doesn't sing enough. I'm still gonna boost that algorithm in the comments section though."
I actually appreciate this sponsored content, I've always wanted to look into an Arena tracker but never really knew what it could do for me besides display the contents of my deck, so I didn't bother. This looks pretty useful though I must say. Also, good looking & professional, as always.
With 30 lands could you play a third Castle Vantress? That card is so damn useful when you have Rec down, or especially 2 Recs and you need the manasink. It's especially good as a counter to Teferi, since you can do it at instant speed even when Teferi's on the board.
Have you thought about playing scorching Dragonfire instead of the brazen borrowers? Because it seemed most times you drew the brazen dragonfire would have been better. for example killing steamkin instead of setting it back twice.
He specifically says in the deck intro that the Borrowers are for dealing with (or at least delaying) permanents that Storm's Wrath can't. Dragonfire serves a very similar role to Storm's Wrath so it's probably not the best card for that slot.
They would still be able to respond with embercleave at that point. He's always liable to be blown out during combat from it, he would have to cast explosion before opp enters combat to play around it unless he's expecting them to equip up fervent to play around another borrower
@@marlowemouse At damage point interaction, the aggro player responds first with the Embercleave likely on Thorbrand in this case, but still. Then it's the time to interact wouldn't you agree?
@@tom4465 If he's going to shoot the fervent he should be doing it when opp passes priority to enter combat step, to completely play around embercleave. No play he can make would play around infuriate but waiting until combat means he's got potential for blowout if opp was holding embercleave for the reason I stated in my first reply. Since he did move to combat I think due to indecision, waiting for opp to pass priority to damage is slightly more ideal yeah but doesn't change blowout potential
Downloaded the MTGAssitant. Def a cool tool to use. Hopefully this will help me keep track of my draws and increase my wins in the arena. Comment for the algorithm day 51
what do you do vs elspeth conquerors death or anax/embercleave? every time ive tried temur without counterpells you jsu get destroyed by those cards if they went first
How about swapping some land for Thrill of Possibility as Opt 5-8? You do use early mana surprisingly well, but I refuse to believe Thrill would slow you down too much. Would help feed Uro too.
Mtgasst is dope! However i had an issue that anytime i escaped a card... it crashed mtga... removed it... and no issues (might have been an mtga thing).... but i miss the deck tracker
Hi CGB - just wanted to support the channel by using the assistant - but overwolf really seems to be intrusive in the installation process. How is your experience with user data and ads?
not suprised to see that much aggro honestly. if you want to climb the ladder fast, that's your best bet. the win rate of those decks might not be the absolute best out there but it's decent enough and the games end fast.
In the game against the Barkhide Troll: Opponent didn't had Mana open to make the troll hexproof. Storms Wrath would've hit no matter what. Exactly this misery cost me my troll a number of times and I hate it but well... If I got to play something else I need to sacrifice him sometimes

Rofl working so hard sitting on ur A$% playing a game you love and editing .
Gee dont strain urself .
CGB can make a deck with 50 lands and would still manage to get mana-screwed
I could make a 60 land deck and be mana screwed. That's how bullshit it is sometimes.
15:13 Oh my god, he's hard-casting the Shark Typhoon! Quick, call in the Fin Doctors!

you obviously don’t know how to play reclamation. you need at least 8 copies of all of your combo pieces
Jund is somehow able to add 5 trail of crumbs in their deck. I have pics when I played them
Always amazing to see a good looking and professional content creator get more support. Such a cool dude, and a cool deck too!!!
been wondering what that assistant thing i keep on seeing on the top left is. good thing i was too lazy to look it up these past days lol.
There is also some other one that helps with drafting, with notes on the cards and what not
I've played against so many Rec players not using the "QQ" shortcut... It is exhausting...
They may've just come back. Cause for a long time we couldn't do that
Some times is on purpose. I've won some games by tapping lands one by one whille i had no explosion in hand, and opponent just concedes.
@@OfficialMaddeck The power of bluffing.
OfficialMaddeck I‘ve conceded many times in that situation bc I value my lifetime much higher than my rank in MTG Arena. I‘ve also encountered players doing that in unranked games, though...
I already use MTGA Assistant, but I made sure to click the link on every device I have. Keep up the work, buddy.
I like the new style of commentary for this deck. Very informative

Very professional, cant deny :P
"White Men Can't Jump" for the freaking win!!! That movie is great!
You are good looking and professional. Loved the deck, temur rec always a favorite.
"QQ" Also represents the act of crying, in this case it makes sense using it as you stomp your opponents. Haha
It started on Warcraft II where you could leave the match with 'Alt'+'Q'+'Q'
QQ is also a term in Singapore and Taiwan that describes noodles that are chewy.
@@AJKiesel well I learned something new. I never knew the origins of "QQ" but I've heard it used a lot during online gaming awhile ago, so makes sense it was Warcraft II.
Mana screw on Arena is a legit thing. It’s pretty remarkable how often I don’t find my lands in my 26 land deck.
I know you don't have as many subs as others but i enjoy your content the most!
For a long time, I wanted to download this app. Now I can do it and help you at the same time! Neat!

What's that 4th Orzhov meta deck for BO1?

Good video. Good deck. Tried it myself but the Shuffler and Matchmaker prefers you CGB. 40% Win Rate for me. Guess I will try again tomorrow.

Done, and downloaded. Keep doing the good work sir!!
Commenting at the intro
Why is everybody saying he is good looking and professional?
Surely that's a given at this point!
You beautiful classy man!
keep up the good work CGB!
With 30 lands could you play a third Castle Vantress? That card is so damn useful when you have Rec down, or especially 2 Recs and you need the manasink. It's especially good as a counter to Teferi, since you can do it at instant speed even when Teferi's on the board.
You are rather goodlooking and professional today CGB as per usual might i add :)
Andrew from the Cool Kids Crew. You are good looking and professional!
What do you think of the four color reclamation deck with teferi?
You are good looking and professional! MTGA downloaded!
You are good looking and professional, pretty sad that I am the 9th one saying this in 75 comments
I was really interested on installing one assistant to Arena but I didn't know which one. I will definitely install this one!!
CGB: Aw look at Ali all the way at number 3
Also CGB: *NEMESIS*
😅
As my grandmother would say, so good looking and professional of a young man.

He specifically says in the deck intro that the Borrowers are for dealing with (or at least delaying) permanents that Storm's Wrath can't. Dragonfire serves a very similar role to Storm's Wrath so it's probably not the best card for that slot.
You are professional looking and good!
Nice video! What is the key used to rotate all lands automatically?
You are good looking and professional. I might catch one of your streams someday. Until then, I will give you my Prime.
I have been using it for a while, but I clicked and re-downloaded it because you made a sweet-a$$ deck.
Nice to see a new sponsor
there is so much violence in that laughs against mono red
The timing of the Explosion play on 35:00 could be just before damage step, no? That way, no Embercleave to save the Champion.
They would still be able to respond with embercleave at that point. He's always liable to be blown out during combat from it, he would have to cast explosion before opp enters combat to play around it unless he's expecting them to equip up fervent to play around another borrower
@@marlowemouse At damage point interaction, the aggro player responds first with the Embercleave likely on Thorbrand in this case, but still. Then it's the time to interact wouldn't you agree?

Since he did move to combat I think due to indecision, waiting for opp to pass priority to damage is slightly more ideal yeah but doesn't change blowout potential
Since you are running 4 opt, would 4 frantic inventory instead be more... optimal?
Downloaded the MTGAssitant. Def a cool tool to use. Hopefully this will help me keep track of my draws and increase my wins in the arena. Comment for the algorithm day 51
Will there be a macOS version for the Assistant? It seems interesting.
I'm good looking and professional.
what do you do vs elspeth conquerors death or anax/embercleave? every time ive tried temur without counterpells you jsu get destroyed by those cards if they went first
I think he said he just doesn't see those match-ups very often. Or he just bounces Anax before Storm's Wrath comes into his hand by sheer luck by T4
I feel like a better draw card would help find the land better than lands 29/30. Maybe something similar to Anticipate, for example.
I'd even play two Fire Prophecy, which are not net-draw but at least they also remove something.
You are good looking and Professional! :). Love your stuff! Thanks for your content!
You are indeed goodlooking and professional good sir
i ma lacking 3 rare tri color lands, what can i replace those with please ?
I don't even play anymore and I always watch this channel
you are good looking and professional - thanks again for a great video
Deck kicks ass so much its should be rated M for Mature.
congratulation for the sponssorship
