Good games, CGB. I had a crazy best-of-3 matchup with a [[Nexus of Fate]] deck. I was playing Esper Control. I won game 1 and my opponent won game 2. After sideboarding, I brought in [[Unmoored Ego]] and got all their Nexuses. I got a Teferi emblem on the field, but they hit me to 1 life point with [[Biogenic Ooze]]. I was able to stablize by [[Despark]]ing their Ooze and exiling the Ooze token and they eventually milled themselves out yielding me a victory. Crazy win.

Same thing I was thinking, the only way he could win is by using Nissa, I just saw him playing extra turns to get extra turns to get extra land to destroy creatures for extra time! lol
I have never complained once about Nexus of Fate. The card is fine. I love the alternate win cons and the possibilities they provide. What I have complained about is the tw**s who played it in free play, and after there was no chance to win the games, sat there with nothing but 4 Nexus of Fates in their library doing nothing but giving themselves more turns. Wizards of the Coast, rather than fixing this clearly exploited mechanic of their game, simply banned the card from BO1 when one particular streamer sat for 2 hours being rolled by a Nexus deck and a WotC staff member happened to be in his stream at the time.

Should be restricted no doubt. Not everyone should have to play blue to handle this. Locking a player out completely breaks the game. While people complain about Teferi he can be handled with direct damage, creatures through a multiple different colors and methods. With Nexus of Fate you have to have something to counter it or you're boned. Since the card goes back into your library it should be restricted.
i don't think Nexus needs a ban (or needed it at any point really, i'm not sad to see it banned in Arena Bo1 with how SLOW it is though!) at this point. Doesn't t3feri just murder Nexus in general? Or at least largely?
I think I'm my opinion the problem with Nexus is that it's paired with wilderness reclamation and it's a instant so people can do it end step I think if wilderness reclamation gets banned the deck gets alot weaker and people can still play Nexus. After watching the video tho I might try out root snare In a few decks.
ANYTHING that prevents people from even playing the game is sure to be hated. Thankfully I'm no mythic championship player because I can just simply refuse to play matches against any of that kind of garbage (yes, in my opinion it's garbage lol). Playing on arena affords me the opportunity to stick to Bo1 even where Nexus isn't even allowed to show up 😁

@@Derael Little Teferi does shut down that deck significantly. But also don't forget Rule of law is coming. That card will also significantly slow it down
I can't really see a reason for it to be banned in standard since it goes out of rotation in a few months. I don't play Modern, Vintage, or Legacy so I can't comment on if it should or shouldn't be banned in those formats.
I can't believe that this is his favourite deck. He's a professional. He probably plays for money, not for having fun. Maybe I'm wrong, but who in the hell plays "All turns are mine. Either you concede or you watch a movie while I play my whole deck." for fun. For 100k $ however, I'd say I love it too.
It's not abnormal for control players to appreciate this type of decks with extra turns. Control is about, as the name implies, taking control of the game, and the ultimate form of control of a game is making all the decisions, and what better way to do that than not letting your opponent make any decision at all? It's certainly not fun for the opponent, but you don't play for the fun of your opponents, and in the mindset of some control players it's understandable that it can be fun to play for them.
@@chloupichloupa Liking control is ok, but saying your "favourite" deck is the only 1, that works in arena only isn't imo. It sounds fishy to me. Is there a video of the interview. I'd really like to see it.
Why does everybody wants to ban everything. There used to be the option of restricted cards, that can only be played once instead of four times. Why not go that route?
I've loved the nexus deck ever since it was available on MTGA. I stopped playing it for a while, but now I play something close to this. I still love it. I mean at least I'm not a mono red player right?
In BO1 it's very hard to tech vs Nexus, so I (as a Nexus player myself) would disagree with it. If they unban Nexus in BO1, all decks besides Esper will immediately become dead there. Gruul can't do anything vs Nexus without enchantment removal, and mainboarding enchantment removal makes your match up vs Esper much worse. Monowhite is easy prey for Nexus. Monored is unfavourable, but in BO1 Nexus can just play a bit of lifegain, and make match ups vs monored favourable. I think it was a good call to ban it in BO1, I can't imagine how majority of BO1 decks will be able to fight vs Nexus.
The deck suits for competitive game. If players want to play Nexus deck for fun just play with practice mode, They can play with stupid bot no need to waste opponents' time.
What is the win con here? Why do opponents scoop as soon as they see like, the 2nd nexus of fate? Genuinely asking as I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to these kinds of decks
I crafted this deck during metagame challenge, got a bunch of 5-1 and 6-1 runs, racked up 50+ packs, and then used it to farm traditional constructed events throughout all the war season. The deck maintained 70-75% winrate for me, with my personal record of 6 5-x events in a row. Every time I see someone writing "Nexus is dead" on Reddit, it makes me a bit happy, because it means that I'm even less likely to encounter enchantment hate post sideboard. But I guess my happy days of flying under radar and grabbing free wins are now over, since after that mythic championship people can no longer pretend that Nexus doesn't exist. Still a very good deck, and I doubt my winrate will be dropping below 65% even if people actually start to tech vs Nexus. I think Tamiyo is the biggest reason why this deck turned from cancer that could randomly whiff after 10 turns of looping into a beautiful deck that is very fun and reliable to play, with a high skill cap, and a lot of unique interactions. Absolutely love the deck as it is right now, and will continue playing it during the M20, because it's glorious.
CGB, You wont get around to reading this, but he loves this deck because he can just dig for his combo cards without much thinking. How much should other players have to deal with, because one other player likes it? Makes no sense the whole community should have to deal with something this broken, honestly.
nissa animate lands 3/3 and there is a callous dismisal, which make a 1/1 zombie, with tamyo you can bring back either tamyo or callous dismissal, and keep spamming with 20 turns with a 1/1 zombie until they die
Me : YES, JUST YES Nexus should be 100% unequivocally banned WOTC : Rotation is in 3 months can't you just wait They should have had "Exile this card" on it, instead of just having it go back into the deck
Did you catch the new updates happening in the future? They're making the mastery system not just for new players but all players along with other additions.
If only there was a card in colors that everyone and their mom was already playing that could just yoink out all 4 copies of nexus from the cultured turbofog player's deck. Maybe for 1UB. Maybe printed in Guilds of Ravnica. Shame it doesn't exist though.
they were cancer, not so much now, the whole infinite nexus with mill win con really was cancer, now with nissa, biogenic ooze it's a lot more proactive of a deck.
@@deathbystupid5154 see that's the problem u call it cancer I loved playing it. I found the deck and the combo interesting and would run it quickly. My openents were nomrlay the problem as they would stall as soon as they realized what I was playing or not concede when the game was over. It got tireing playing the deck not because it was a long deck to play but because your oponent was too stuborn to hit concede since there's no way to show a loop till x.
@@andrewbays494 That seems fair i wouldn't hit concede, doing so just incentivizes more people to play the deck. (especially back when people ran nexus in BO1, which basically just meant they were deliberately trying to avoid interactive magic) I rather just watch youtube, than concede. If they are going to take 20 minutes to play it out then by all means go ahead.
I don't get why people complain about this as much compared to endless discard spam. At least you have a chance to beat them before the infinite loop but discard spam is just "lets not play the game and go down to a topdeck war". Its almost more brainless than monored in a way.
Nexus of fate is annoying, but it's not the card that needs to be banned. It can be dealt with in a variety of ways, and wotc could easily print cards that shit it down without impacting play. Little teferi is a stupid broken card that needs to be banned. It basically says "all your spells may not be countered" this includes Nexus of fate. So for 3 Mana now you can drop little teferi, bounce something of theirs, and then play Nexus of fate without any concern for any kind of counter play from your opponent. It's the dumbest shit I have ever seen and he costs 3 Mana. 3 Mana to make your entire deck uncounterable!
Don't get me wrong, it should be banned!! But the best deck on the meta still, no don't believe so, narset and baby tefari hinders the deck a lot, not to talk about the dimir sorc that exiles all nexus from the deck... The problem of this deck it's not the nexus in best of 3 but the switchroo that the sideboard presents...
People scoop too early imho. It's like a modern combo deck but in standard, not unbeatable and this version wins without going forever. Love the ooze inclusion. All decks are frustrating to loose to. Agro, control etc. Whatever. I don't play nexus but whatever, it's just another combo deck. Personally I hate playing against agro where if I lose a land drop the game is over or against control where I lose or can't play my cards. All decks you lose to are frustrating. Alot of turns in a row is just psychological. People have such short attention spans that they quit so early and don't wait for the game to conclude.
Some games there’s just no point in going through the motions. If you’re up against any turn 4 kill deck, for example, you know based on what’s in your hand, if there’s no point in continuing.
Let me guess you are an esper player? There is a huge difference between the nail biter when you try to save your last hp against the incoming burn nonsense and the game when you have to give up priority and then start making tea then coffee and then you will most likely still not be dead because slow combo nonsense is the worst in digital card games. Irl the opponent just announces what he is going to do and it is over. Here you have to click yes for every single spell etc. Aggro is very annoying to face of against but control is frustrating and the games are also over after 4 turns but sadly you are still locked into the game for the next 20 turns.
@@Weltenbastler2000 No, I don't play esper. I play control, but I don't really like blue counter spells, so I never use them in my decks. As a rule, I can tell if I have no chance of winning in the first few turns, so there's no point in playing. It might be different in paper, but I've only played on arena. I don't play ranked either.

He scooped very late to be fair.
Good Games.
The Nexus Shell is so broken.
What reason do you prefer Bant Nexus to Simic Nexus? Which do you find to be more consistent?
I like bant, but simic is more consistent while bant is more resilient
How do you even win with this deck ?
Why would you trim opt you can opt on their end step and get around narset
CGB, You wont get around to reading this, but he loves this deck because he can just dig for his combo cards without much thinking.
How much should other players have to deal with, because one other player likes it? Makes no sense the whole community should have to deal with something this broken, honestly.
You don’t have to deal with anything, play what you want, scoop if you want. Shocking, I read stuff, nice jab to open with :p
I made this deck the day after pre release. I played 3 Murmuring Mystics and 3 less root snare cuz of tamiyo
Until now I don't know if the better thing is loving or hating this deck😂
can someone explain to me how this deck wins? i understand u take a bunch of turns but how does this actually translate into killing your opponent?
nissa animate lands 3/3 and there is a callous dismisal, which make a 1/1 zombie, with tamyo you can bring back either tamyo or callous dismissal, and keep spamming with 20 turns with a 1/1 zombie until they die
Biogenic ooze usually
@@williamwalton9154 i didnt look at the list, but ooze is usually sideboard, so not in game 1
Also they have Mobilized District in this psrticular build. Pretty cool synergy with Nissa, too.
Me : YES, JUST YES Nexus should be 100% unequivocally banned
WOTC : Rotation is in 3 months can't you just wait
They should have had "Exile this card" on it, instead of just having it go back into the deck
41:50 : play tamiyo first: If they negate, youre fine to ascanta and nexus. If they don't, minus to get your own negate and happy comboing :)
nvm, you found the play xD
Yes it should be, alongside T3feri.
Do you not know you can upload your twitch content straight from twitch to youtube?
Yep, did you know lots of UA-cam viewers hate watching twitch-generated content?
Did you catch the new updates happening in the future? They're making the mastery system not just for new players but all players along with other additions.
Link to this please?
@@gingermlg It's on the reddit.
Yeah, and the "Arena modern", or "Historic" as they intend to call it, starts from Ixalan onwards currently, Goodbye steampunk dreams of Kaladesh =(
Can I run this deck with only 3 nexus of fates?
Tell em like it is CGB!
It was a underdog deck the Esper decks were the better decks overall I doubt nexus will get banned
nexus itself is not the problem, the problem is dealing with wilderness, azcanta AND nexus
If only there was a card in colors that everyone and their mom was already playing that could just yoink out all 4 copies of nexus from the cultured turbofog player's deck. Maybe for 1UB. Maybe printed in Guilds of Ravnica. Shame it doesn't exist though.
Then just hit their win condition, dork
Jeff made a good point
Playing a temur Ral nexus deck and yeah good sideboard from the otherside and you are done, tef3,Narset, mortify, counters, Unmoored Ego.
An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded
I love nexus, I run Bant though.
thank you. all the people i watch are just like nexus decks are a cancer but some people enjoy the deck. people need to chill
they were cancer, not so much now, the whole infinite nexus with mill win con really was cancer, now with nissa, biogenic ooze it's a lot more proactive of a deck.
@@deathbystupid5154 see that's the problem u call it cancer I loved playing it. I found the deck and the combo interesting and would run it quickly. My openents were nomrlay the problem as they would stall as soon as they realized what I was playing or not concede when the game was over. It got tireing playing the deck not because it was a long deck to play but because your oponent was too stuborn to hit concede since there's no way to show a loop till x.
@@andrewbays494 That seems fair i wouldn't hit concede, doing so just incentivizes more people to play the deck. (especially back when people ran nexus in BO1, which basically just meant they were deliberately trying to avoid interactive magic)
I rather just watch youtube, than concede. If they are going to take 20 minutes to play it out then by all means go ahead.
Discard mechanics chased me away from magic. It’s just too out of control.
When he “negated” your “negate.” 🤦♀️
I don't get why people complain about this as much compared to endless discard spam. At least you have a chance to beat them before the infinite loop but discard spam is just "lets not play the game and go down to a topdeck war". Its almost more brainless than monored in a way.
"nexus should be banned, it's cancer" says the mono red player.
This video kind of made me stop wanting to play magic
What's story? don't forget that counts
Saludos de Argentina! :D Big Fan
a like from CGB? . Best day ever
That's why i play bo1....
When I play against people that do this, I just minimize the game and let it time out. No point in even playing.
Thats a horrible argument. The card is garbage. Just because someone likes to murder doesnt mean it isnt bad. Same principle applies.
No.
No it doesn’t
I don't necessarily like the game but I respected it it's a whole lot better than red this deck actually takes thought and skill to play
Nexus of fate is annoying, but it's not the card that needs to be banned. It can be dealt with in a variety of ways, and wotc could easily print cards that shit it down without impacting play.
Little teferi is a stupid broken card that needs to be banned. It basically says "all your spells may not be countered" this includes Nexus of fate. So for 3 Mana now you can drop little teferi, bounce something of theirs, and then play Nexus of fate without any concern for any kind of counter play from your opponent. It's the dumbest shit I have ever seen and he costs 3 Mana. 3 Mana to make your entire deck uncounterable!
Absolute filth. Reclamation Nexus is the bane of BO3 the same way monored is for BO1.
Don't get me wrong, it should be banned!! But the best deck on the meta still, no don't believe so, narset and baby tefari hinders the deck a lot, not to talk about the dimir sorc that exiles all nexus from the deck... The problem of this deck it's not the nexus in best of 3 but the switchroo that the sideboard presents...
Pretty boring meta this year. That's all I can say.
tbh wilderness rec is the problem card. nexus of fate isn't that bad alone
Giulio, if you're out there and you see this. Grow a sack and play with a deck that hasn't shown to cause aids.
People scoop too early imho. It's like a modern combo deck but in standard, not unbeatable and this version wins without going forever. Love the ooze inclusion. All decks are frustrating to loose to. Agro, control etc. Whatever. I don't play nexus but whatever, it's just another combo deck. Personally I hate playing against agro where if I lose a land drop the game is over or against control where I lose or can't play my cards. All decks you lose to are frustrating. Alot of turns in a row is just psychological. People have such short attention spans that they quit so early and don't wait for the game to conclude.
Some games there’s just no point in going through the motions. If you’re up against any turn 4 kill deck, for example, you know based on what’s in your hand, if there’s no point in continuing.
Let me guess you are an esper player? There is a huge difference between the nail biter when you try to save your last hp against the incoming burn nonsense and the game when you have to give up priority and then start making tea then coffee and then you will most likely still not be dead because slow combo nonsense is the worst in digital card games. Irl the opponent just announces what he is going to do and it is over. Here you have to click yes for every single spell etc.
Aggro is very annoying to face of against but control is frustrating and the games are also over after 4 turns but sadly you are still locked into the game for the next 20 turns.
@@Weltenbastler2000 No, I don't play esper. I play control, but I don't really like blue counter spells, so I never use them in my decks. As a rule, I can tell if I have no chance of winning in the first few turns, so there's no point in playing. It might be different in paper, but I've only played on arena. I don't play ranked either.
If they ban Nexus in 3's i might just as well jump on the teferi esper bandwagon. What is the fun in that :/
I could never and would never want to play past diamond. Its just too much removal crap. Not fun at all. I'm a jank player.
I usually like play control but Nexus of fate is too much... There isn't any fun to play for your own in my opinion...
Yes.
People that play Postpone decks are subhuman.
Nexus of QQ
I think it is legit
Nexus of Fate is already banned. So it's a moot point.
