@@A_Father_ bro, I don't have that high requirements. In my case, I've never seen someone play Kaldheim elves before so to me, this is as fresh as it gets!
Yeah, Hofri's ability to keep any creatures that you steal if you can kill them can make for some fun times. Would love to see CGB brew on that aspect of the card for a janky play queue deck.
17:45 I call that the Planeswalker effect. Even if the opponent is going to lose they still use all of their resources to kill a planeswalker with blinders on until the Planeswalker is dead.
100% agree with the change things up to trick the brain that gets used to things idea. I love CGB content, but the occasional Brawl or play queue fun decks are a very welcome, refreshing change of pace.
CGB: 1) Changed MTGA to UGG 2) Playing in the solo queue What's next - will you become a mono red mage? Great video and keep up the great work uploading so many vids.
I've been playing elves tribal, and while it's not my strongest deck, it can still compete at high Diamond / low Mythic. The card that's missing here that feels critical to me is Skemfar Shadowsage. Mid-game, it can often drop for 3-10 damage. While the threat of swinging wide with a million elves is exciting, I often find that it's playing Skemfar Shadowsage that actually ends games - especially if you have an Elvish Warmaster or two on the table when it drops.
Was just thinking that there was a lack of aggro for awhile Edit: I'm a little surprised you didn't play masked vandal, removal on a body that exiles a creature that died early on.
I ran a version of this for a while and liked the wildborn preserver against flyers. Also the combo with Elvish Warmaster let's you pump it immediately.
@CGB 16:48 i think because on the alternative ART of Fynn, the Fangbearer fights with Koma, Cosmos Serpent also Koma fights with Fynn :) take a look cards
Maybe a good time to explore some brews? Giants, Felidar Retreat + Iridescent Hornbeetle, Frost Fill combo deck that LVD played. They're certainly not that spikey, and you'd had to deal with early concedes on Play queue, but I'd love to check those out more than just cards I've seen all the time
You could do a "new account to mythic" series where you make a new account, grind out ladder and really have to think twice about every rare you craft. Could be a lot of fun
Do you do play vs viewers?? I've been mythic top 90% last couple of seasons would love to play vs someone who actually knows what's going on in the game.
I love elves. I've loved them since the first Nissa in Zendikar. Love what Kaldheim brought to elves. I run a version of this deck that has Realmwalker, Skemfar Shadowsage and Bloodline Pretender. It's satisfying getting the win by playing the shadowsage. Opponents never see it coming. Is this a top meta deck? No, but I enjoy it. Better than any brain dead board wipe deck.
Funny, just yesterday, I crafted an Elf Planeswalker deck... all the ramp without a top end is kind of a waste. And it's real fun as people don't expect an Ugin dropping in an Elf deck.
I also wish there was some system where you can make a private queue, invite some people on the Discord, hide everyone's name and ban certain decks like Mono Red and Mono White. Would certainly make a bunch of decks more viable and a more varied queue. It'd make historic more fun too
I’ve been using untapped forever now and it’s amazing, the draft helper immediately helped me win my first draft, the review of my winrate and the way it shows the meta decks and what cards I need to craft them on the linked site is cool as well. Most of all the land count saves me a lot of hassle counting out stupid lands because arena can’t put a simple land counter in the damn game.
Speaking of tribal... I'd LOVE to see a Historic Dino deck and when Innistrad comes Werewolves. Even if it's just in the play que. An esper historic control/mill deck would be interesting
Missing huge trick here the 3 mana snow elf that gives all creatures plus 1/1 on entry when snow mana used and it can stack if multiple copies on board
Seeing as you're already qualified it would be cool to see if you can mess with the meta like that mono black deck you did recently. Some experimental decks with your thought process in the brewing.
I sometime pause right before the "you're cool" to see how long I can take it. Real fast I start to sweat and shake, crying softly, and I just gotta.. I just needa, to hear those words. Then it's all good and the sun shines again. 😁😂😉
Since Ikoria, Eldraine and Theros are going to rotate, why don't you play your favorite decks till they are gone (you know what i'm thinking about). If you want to try decks that you think are not going to be that competitive, you can always play events, I feel they have more level than the play queue. I once faced a deck which I fell in love with, but I have never really dare to play with it in ranked. Jeskai control built around Shark Typhoon, Dream Trawler and cheap spells that allowed you to draw as much cards as possible. Dream Trawler killed me in one turn, it became like a 15/5 or so. That deck with Reconstructed History has to be very interesting.
No, brawl isn't a ranked mode. Ranked limited or constructed is a different format and rules for deck construction and card legality are a little different than brawl
Yeah someone played this in ranked against me last night with 3 mana they had elves for days and made them all into 10/10 and killed me. Embarrassing death.. I was like elfs wtf.
For the next two months, it would be really cool if you would play some of your viewers decks. I personally would love to see someone at your skill level play some of the brews I have. It could also be lucrative for you if you use tier subscriptions from twitch/patreon!
@@EJinne You're welcome! I only knew about it because of CGB playing it in a video a couple of months ago or something, so it feels like they've been pretty quiet about it.
Forgot to comment in the last video, but oh boy, if HGG thought that was cheating, I guess he missed you playing the events with banned cards THAT would be fun to see from the other side
“Play another nerd. Make another dork.” 😂
@Adam's Gaming Tips had to think about it for a second
@@karrg7832 i still don't get it. Can you please explain the joke to me?

the wordplay really is on point in this one

😂
"double confounding conundrum-what is going on?" Looks like the spell did its job
😂
You know what they say, Elves are just green Goblins, so you're basically a red mage now.
Say goodbye to your critical thinking
This ofensive, me play red, me not dum dum
@@lucenildofilho5710 haha U play RED? Me am most big big green aggro player huhuhuh
@@liammenchaca8860 you play mono green? ha ha me smart me play mono white

@@jonathanfreyberg3366 you play blue counterspell? ha ha me play 5 color jank.
CGB - "Ya know, just chilling today high in mythic"
Me - "Welp ima go die to winota in platinum"
try CGB izzet phoenix deck, is really cool vs aggro if you mulligan agressively
But Yorion kills you everytime :/
Yeah, same with a hateful auras deck. If your only fighting winota, though, it will be worth it
But it feels soo good to drop a historian, two winotas, and an elite spell binder on turn four.
since cgb is a tribal player rn, maybe tribal deathtouch? sounds pretty pog as the kids say
I genuinely think you should try standard event. It’s still very competitive and at most you just lose 400 gold
He used to do only Standard Event for videos a while back, but found that he got more interest if he posted Mythic content.
- 4x Harald, King of Skemfar
+ 4x Realmwalker
... honestly CGB what are you doing xD
That would be better, but honestly Harald has 3 power and menace, and it is an aggro deck, so it might actually be better. Maybe.
I would agree with you if he wasn't playing Tyvar kell
I just run both in mine. Probably x3 of each, drop 2 of something else. (like whatever rares I'm missing to save WCs)
Realmwalker is not very good imo. It's just too slow.
@@TheVinnymacdaddy its conscpiscious snoop for one more and any tribe it has alot of potential.
Haha, I too have a Golgari Elves Deck named "cast X creatures" for that quest
Finally something original!!!! I was so tired of all those same meta decks over n over!
Give us a deck built around Hofri Ghostforge next!
Hofri sure but, original? This is not original.

I'd love to see some Standart events again. That was fun.
I like CovertGoCasual. I hope to see him more often.
17:45 I call that the Planeswalker effect. Even if the opponent is going to lose they still use all of their resources to kill a planeswalker with blinders on until the Planeswalker is dead.
Literally JUST stomped this deck with my Yorion Reconstruct History deck before I started this video 😂
CGB going old school with that, “summertime” fresh prince groove😀
100% agree with the change things up to trick the brain that gets used to things idea. I love CGB content, but the occasional Brawl or play queue fun decks are a very welcome, refreshing change of pace.

Great video and keep up the great work uploading so many vids.
Realmwalker is a great Addition. Especially when there are 4 Haralds
Love the summertime reference!!!!! It is never summer without hearing that song!!
Love when you play Aggro decks! Tribal decks are cool! More please!

I think he talked in his podcast about how he did that but just didn’t find it enjoyable and it didn’t get many views
Do you do play vs viewers?? I've been mythic top 90% last couple of seasons would love to play vs someone who actually knows what's going on in the game.
I included Garruk in this deck, and it works perfectly!
100% enjoy the change up in content! Fun times :D
Thank you for something outside the Meta this time CGB.

Ok CGB, I now know you're practicing for an actual post game rap !
Who else is looking forward to CGB making decks with Garth One-Eye in the near future
17:13 you should tap first for mans and then use Tovar to untap
@CGB Wow dude haven t watched in a while and you have gotten beyond hilarious,thx man
What I’ve been looking. Finally a revisit to elves

CGB's big Willy rhymes summer summer summertime. Auto Like
Since i have and sometimes play a historic elf deck the standard version seems unplayably weak.
i guess you can call this a bearly functional deck
Any more brawl videos coming up?
Whiplash from going from 20+ minute games in last video to 5 second games today xD
I see why it's popular on arena now
Congrats on the untapped colab
love the idea of new types of decks. and tribals if not competitive are fun. thanks cgb
Highly recommend Skemfar Shadowsage for an Elf deck, it's a great card.
Missing huge trick here the 3 mana snow elf that gives all creatures plus 1/1 on entry when snow mana used and it can stack if multiple copies on board
Tyvar as the WWE Champion makes total sense with his Championship Belt 😆
YESSSS GOLGARI ELVES MY DREAMS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED.
Seeing as you're already qualified it would be cool to see if you can mess with the meta like that mono black deck you did recently. Some experimental decks with your thought process in the brewing.
Granted, that's a hell of a lot of work when you're playing a different deck every day because you're cool.
I sometime pause right before the "you're cool" to see how long I can take it. Real fast I start to sweat and shake, crying softly, and I just gotta.. I just needa, to hear those words. Then it's all good and the sun shines again. 😁😂😉
I'm surprised there isn't more elf/changeling decks There is a ton of value there
I built this deck soon after I watched it. Here in standard 2022, this runs over mono white when rebuilt.
instead of playQ... what do you think about the "standard event"? you can try getting to 7 wins without screwing rank.
You mean "Mono Red simulator.arena" ?
@@olafthemoose9413 if you play "budget" decks, you match against budget decks... as far as I saw its pretty much like playQ
made this deck with umori as my companion. Crazy how wide you can go
The old quest-specific brew move
WWE champion Tyvar... hilarious...🤣 entertaining content as always!
Since Ikoria, Eldraine and Theros are going to rotate, why don't you play your favorite decks till they are gone (you know what i'm thinking about).

Haha, ahead of you, already using Untapped^^
Does Brawl affect your rank? I was digging the brawl content.
No, brawl isn't a ranked mode. Ranked limited or constructed is a different format and rules for deck construction and card legality are a little different than brawl
