At 15:30 I really think you should have taken Torbran. Opponent could only play 1 Anax and was still 1-2 turns from playing Embercleave. When all you needed was Winota or BH to win the game. Those extra turns would have made a huge difference. Instead, the opponent got to have 11 damage on board rather than 3.
Congratulations! These final push videos are pure gold! I love the meta game strategies, and would love to see more on how to "game" the arena match making system! Swords to Plowshares from Ice Age.
@@NoName-fc3xe If you’re not trolling (nice one if you were, btw): We’re basing this off of a negative: cowards are not human. So you would need german shepards are not dogs first. Then you get: dogs are not german shepards. You’re confusing the logic between “equal to” and “a part of”. A = B, therefore B = A. We are saying that A is the exact same thing as B. This works the same way for negatives. A n B is how we say A is part of a group called B. This doesn’t mean A = B, or vice versa. What we are really saying with “german shepards are dogs”, is that german shepards are part of a larger group which contains all dogs, that we simply just call “dogs”. But it would be wrong to say that all dogs are german shepards.
I've been watching you for a while now, CGB, and I'd just like to tell you how much I appreciate you pronouncing card names correctly. I stopped watching Saffron Olive, because he'd mispronounce card names so horribly so often that I'm sure it's on purpose. Shit drives me nuts. Thanks for not driving me nuts.
dunno if you guys gives a damn but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my gf lately =)
The deck showcase is recorded after gameplay, so he had one Mila copy in his first version. Around halfway through the video he mentions that he removed it because it came up too often and was never useful.
Wow I was created a Winota deck over the weekend and tore up platinum 15-3, but it was a bit greedier with dwarves on the low end and Haktos and Kenrith on the high end plus 3 search for glorys as I really needed Winota without the low end rares. Got bored so now trying out some +1/+1 counters and Basri to see how that does.
I’ve got a Winota deck that just helped me get to Diamond for the first time last month and I love playing it. While I’m happy to see CGB playing it, now everybody will know how good Winota is in the Strixhaven meta 😭
Yup. It's been a tier 1 Bo1 deck since SH dropped because of how obviously busted blade historian is. CGBs build here is exactly the one on the meta lists.
My deck looks super similar, except x2 kenrith for trample haste (clutch) and added vortex (anti-life gain is awesome, hard counter as long as you swing constantly). Mono black and azorius/mono blue eats this deck tho.
I played a Naya version of this deck with clarion spirit and adventure creatures + innkeeper. Super fun when you have like 5-6 triggers from all the tokens lol.
@@erikblomqvist8325 I feel like innkeeper helps me draw towards winota or 4th land. And hard casting blade historian isn't that hard with pathways since you really just need one green (maybe two if you really want to cast umori). Also because I run so many adventure creatures to trigger clarion spirit easier, innkeeper is kinda a no-brainer for me.
was at 79% win rate over 50 games yesterday. Damn epic deck. First turn dog, second turn professor into 3 mana created creation for turn 3, turn 4 Winota. Winota pulls in the blade historian, and spellbinder or two,, done on turn 4.
When PVDDR talks about his card, you can tell he knows it's good. When I saw the card leaked, I thought it was at least as good as v-clique and maybe on par with snapcaster. I could still be proved wrong, but the card seems so strong to me.
I played 2 games vs winota today. In both games, i got their winota with my spellbinder turn 3. And both opponents topdecked a second winota turn 4. They always have it. No digging/showdown of the skalds necessary...
I've gotten a ton of packs from playing sealed. I really want to crack them so I can craft this, unban Winota (from Brawl at least)! Especially I want to craft it before it becomes bad.
I've been playing Winota, but I put in 1 copy of Haktos and 2 or 3 Kenriths. also 1 copy of Embreth Skyblazer which... is not a great card but it is 4 in the air (8 with double). Haktos is just stupid if it gets double strike.. 12 damage lol.. and Kenrith is simply hilarious if you have the 1 white open and give trample to your double striking attackers.. literally all your creatures have Embercleave... LULZ
I've tried some variations of this deck for the last couple of weeks. It is definitely a feast or famine type deck. If you can't land a Winota or Blade Historian until turn 7, then the deck is so weak. I haven't tried it with Kargan yet, and I have only 2 PVDDRs due to rare wildcard limitations, so maybe those would help.
This current meta can go to hell. Gonna play strictly limited for a while. My draft games have been absolutely intense in the best possible way! Played the FNM event this past weekend and my first 5 games were rogues, trickery, sultimatum, rogues, and sultimatum. Yaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwnnnnnnn
Yeah this thought has been in the back of my mind but it's just true. There are just soooo many game changing bombs in RW now. Edit: after watching the whole video nothing is scaring my poor Yorion deck more.
kargan intimidators just aren't good enough imo kenrith has so much value that even just 1 of him is already amazing personally i play naya winota, with jaspera sentinels and clarion spirits

@@mounorman wow that joke just blasted so far over your head
Ya hate to see it
Pretty sure once Eldraine rotates that Blade Historian is going to be in every mono red/mono white list.
I had figured that this might be the very first deck you played once STX was released. Glad to see it here!
Just started watching, but already liked it for correctly pronouncing the professor. Thank you CGB, it was hurting my soul.
And you call him CBG...

He did it! He pronounced the word! Monumental effort there man!

The tone of his voice in this vid particularly is massively chilling me out, and i have no idea why
Its because his wife/gf (can't remember which) is asleep so he's trying to keep quiet.
I agree, it's different and so chill. It could even be new CGB persona "Zen CGB".

@Devon Abraham Yea, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D
Man I have a Big question
How do you have Mila / Lukka in your hand many times during the video but there's no Mila in the decklist ?
Because he changed his mind at some point presumably but it is strange not to acknowledge it at all
Why is Mila in your hand but not in your preview of the deck?
Anyone else think this recording sounded more ASMR-y than usual?
yeah, like all his late night videos.
Umm CGB how come the list isn't showing the flip lukka in the list I watched you play it in a few games but the cards not in the deck list lol.
Love those 4 of decks. My old vamps were similarly built and performed beyond expectations largely because of how predictable it was.
Gimme that sweet botos Wintofast gameplay
Blade historian really does feel like an ember cleave that you can hit with winota huh?
Been having al lot of early season success with my version of this. Thanks, CGB, for doubling my mirror matches now.
Same (:
How come you have a Mila in some of the games but not in the deck showcase?
The deck showcase is recorded after gameplay, so he had one Mila copy in his first version. Around halfway through the video he mentions that he removed it because it came up too often and was never useful.
@@MetalHeadedNoah, thank you. I was looking for this commentary.

I was so waiting for this i love winota with the strixhaven Support.
Great vid blue mage!
I've been trying out a few copies of Study Break in an Azorius aggro deck, and it's come in so clutch to shutdown key attack phases.
Love the deck How does one get the cool basic l
ands you are using
33:06 How did this genius make it into Mythic? Block with the Savior and then sac it for the Winota. Am I missing something here?
Conspiracy theorist might be good to smooth things out instead of prof symbology? Or does it slow you down too much?
Where did the Mila come from? It wasn’t in the decklist
Nice Intimidator tech. My winota build has been using Illurious enraptured and pyre of heroes to pod out winny
And the symbology has, once again, its professor. Thank you CGB
I’ve got a Winota deck that just helped me get to Diamond for the first time last month and I love playing it. While I’m happy to see CGB playing it, now everybody will know how good Winota is in the Strixhaven meta 😭
So thoughts on Hackos? He is a house on his own and can high roll an opponent right out the game.
I love this kind of chill asmr video
Edit: You kind of talk about it at the end! Thanks
Be curious about you discussing your build vs PVDDR’s build
I played against winota for the first time in ages today, now I understand why.
Yup. It's been a tier 1 Bo1 deck since SH dropped because of how obviously busted blade historian is.
CGBs build here is exactly the one on the meta lists.
The first game was satisfying AS FUCK. Seeing mono red being absolutely out-aggroed is just lovely.
Lol which First Game, First Game was Ultimatum, First Red Deck was cgb scooping :DD

It was cute watching mono red putting a embercleave onto a bone crusher giant and the next turn, I swing with all and a blade historian.. perfect.
what game mode does he play in?

I love how PVDDR still tried to negotiate so the card would have flash, since he knew how absolutely busted it would be.
Took a while until everyone noticed how OP Blade Historian is
Hmm I think people saw it’s potential
Ive been fighting this deck since strix release
07:55 we gotta unlearn to cast Pathway lands first rather than the basic lands for the upcoming STX rare lands.
Hey. I just saw, that CGB is also doing Magic besides X-Files. Is he also doing good here?
Amazing climb! Congratulations are in order!
Hey I would love to see a deck around Dramatic Finale.
Why do you reveal a land with the snarl turn one?
It hangs if you have a land in hand, so not showing the land doesn't keep any information other than what land you have from your opponent.
I don't know if this comes up very often, but if you don't have any sideboard cards left, the learn cards all loot a card.
Academic probation is really an allstar to stave off a shadows verdict for a turn lol
Finally, been waiting for this deck since I saw blade historian lol
There is a lot of graveyard return in standard atm

CKC! Well done CGB, as always working hard!
Why don't you try Winota + Maskwood Nexus?
Then all the creatures on field are humans so they don't trigger her
@@ixchel3330 you've right!
17:23 They play lurrus. No stomp. Giant Costs 3.
Well why not halloeblade instead of the kagran
loaded up your deck, was on the draw 7 out of 10 games...sounds about right
I steamrolled through everyone to diamond when strixhaven came out with a winota deck.
It is definitely a powerhouse! I haven't opened anything for the deck though and I'm a free player.
Caught covid but CGB is keeping me alive :(
Ironically, whenever I play this deck, I can barely hit WInota, although I run 4 copies of her. Already lost so many matches due to not drawing her.
Does coolstuffinc accept crypto payments?
And I am here still wondering why a card like Winota was ever printed. And most importantly, why is she still legal????
Is it just me, or does CGB sound like he's doing his best Bob Ross impersonation?
I thought the same thing
I've gotten a ton of packs from playing sealed. I really want to crack them so I can craft this, unban Winota (from Brawl at least)! Especially I want to craft it before it becomes bad.
Everytime I hear Symbology, I think of a line from Boondock Saints,
Now CGB has done it, normal MTG is over, feel the Winota train. >.

Why do you not play umori? Its free and pathways are always free

Fight as One would be good in this deck
btw you can play Umori as a companion :D just for nonsense
