Just gotta say, you are my go to MTG arena player. I love how you describe every decision you make and why you are making it. You have helped me improve my own game considerably since I've started watching you. You are creating great content and I look forward to seeing a new drop every day!
CGB goes Blue! The series just gets better and better. The deck held solid IMO despite the crazy land encounters. Golos is a whole different story. So I won't count that. Looking forward to the rest of the blue builds!
32:45 Dude, screw that nonsense. "STOP THINKING" Just nah. Like, I really doubt anyone telling you that has ever gotten to mythic themselves. They don't know that you *have* to overthink be good at games of strategy.
BaH, I are in mYthiC and nev4r spENd more then 5 seCoNds a turn. No wait, crap, the opposite of that - I don't ladder well exactly because I tunnel-vision. Listening to players like CGB talk through what cards he's worried about is kinda helpful for improving my own decision-making process.
Mystic sanctuary seems more worth in a card selection or also a deck with more than 15 sorceries / instants, maybe a magic mirror deck not in a tempo deck that relies on a " big endgame " really enjoyed your wholesomeness and the gameplay ( : I like control decks as long as they don't run 1-3 cards in the entire deck that are wincons and I'm learning to run control decks even those with no blue in them.
I ran something similar but ran Verity Circle with Gadwick so flash in end of turn lets you tap everything and get free swings in. Also forces Teferi to bounce Verity Circle other than creatures which makes Teferi prone to a flier.
Can't wait for Mono-Red week so I can just take a break from watching and save about an hour of free time each day :) On a more serious note, very interested to see the kind of blue brews you come up with, CGB - such a wonderful color with such an undeserved reputation. Prove it's more than just counterspell BS!
"An ancestor of the monoblue deck from last season". You mean a _descendant_? You know I'll never criticize your choices of content, but I'll do it for the use of language! :)
Hey CGB, been enjoying your vids for a while, just an idea. Why not at the end of the week for each colour, you do a ranking for "best" in terms of competitiveness and in terms of fun for the decks in that colour? I think a lot of people would be interested in your thoughts on comparing the decks.
I really wish they reprinted spell pierce with the abundance of 3 mana high loyalty walkers that's now in the format. There need to be better answers and checks in place for these cards or they just eat up way too much design space.
Nah, they should stop printing cards like that and ban the ones that become a problem. Just about everything can be countered and/or dies to removal. No need to keep anti-fun, op cancels in the game. I'm sick of never resolving a spell unless I play mono-red aggro crap.
"Our opponent's cheap removal have been annoying so far" says a *blue* player. But I have to admit flexing on a monored player at 1 life is quite amazing ^^
I think I've ran into a flash deck of any guild with blue on arena. For mono blue I'm playing an artifact deck with counterspells obviously, because I like winning lol. Also I feel like quench is one of the best blue cards right now. And at 10:35 mono blue has no right to make such a statement lol.
Im curious why you would show that 1st game? The opponent didn't cast a single spell and then conceded turn 5. That's not the very high quality content you usually put out.
When he went for the claim I think you could've unsummoned the goblin + flashed in the sailor to grow the cutrhroat out of range from both the claim and the goblin activation Edit: I was wrong, claim cares about cmc, so disregard this comment.
Nobody asked me and I love your content but I don't like these challenges... I'd rather much watch just 1 deck per color or just stick to other jank/competitive decks
@@covertgoblue not sure man it's like it gets old too fast. After the first video I'm not interested in more of the same color. It won't make me build that deck and it's not a regular jank theme deck that I could build for fun. I'm just saying this to express an opinion maybe I'm the only one lol but thanks for being interested anyway!

I love his wholesomeness in addition to this.
Thank you for the color challenge. Enjoying the videos so far. A kefnet discard might be interesting to see.

Very much singing in this one. Love it ♥️ you seem to enjoy this filthy blue magic quite a bit😂
I try to liven it up, it is harder than you know
Counter Tribal is my Trigger!!!!!! Ahhhhhrrrrgggggg!

It's my trigger too but that's the game we play. Just gotta accept. =( Shifting Ceratops is AMAZING against it though

Great deck again , I'm playing it but I have only 1 brazen borrower , anyone any tips to replace it with ?
I ran something similar but ran Verity Circle with Gadwick so flash in end of turn lets you tap everything and get free swings in.
Also forces Teferi to bounce Verity Circle other than creatures which makes Teferi prone to a flier.
Also more importantly keeps giving you free cards.
Hey, I would mark the title of the video with the color challenge.
For ex:
2 ANNOYING 2 LIVE (Flash Tempo) | Mono Blue CC #1
I used to do that....makes it too long
cant wait to see what you come up with for the red deck challenge, something around chandras regulator and stuff
Gadwick + verity circle is a good way to draw some extra cards
Can't wait for Mono-Red week so I can just take a break from watching and save about an hour of free time each day :)

20 mins in: Nice NKOTB tribute! I saw them in concert earlier this year. Yes, really

This series is great. It is giving me some ideas to build some Eldraine decks for playing "pentagram" with my friends
Can't wait for the mill deck. Throne of Eldraine added so many cards to support milling
Great vid CGB!
Deck doesnt seem complete without mu yanling?
I'm running blue tempo flyers with blue tokens. 26-6 record. Pretty solid.

He posted an article doing exactly that for the Mono-black week decks
@@TheArbiter1999 sick, know where I can find it?
@@TheReaperRonin Go to his channel and click on the community tab, should be in there somewhere
my weekly article on coolstuffinc.com
@@covertgoblue Thanks, enjoyed the article
So excited for mono u week!
CGB: what u gonna do?
My brain: when they come for u
CGB: when they come for u
Simple minds think alike😂
Il be goooooonnnee......
I played your golgari deck and haven't lost yet... regisaur + great henge = insta win :)
Stayed to the end :^)
Please make a tap control with circle of verity
Yes please I'm trying to up the jank in one verity circle deck I found.
I really wish they reprinted spell pierce with the abundance of 3 mana high loyalty walkers that's now in the format. There need to be better answers and checks in place for these cards or they just eat up way too much design space.

The deck looked to have some potential with more deck tweaking?
This kind of deck is why I voted blue lol
I think I've ran into a flash deck of any guild with blue on arena. For mono blue I'm playing an artifact deck with counterspells obviously, because I like winning lol. Also I feel like quench is one of the best blue cards right now.
And at 10:35 mono blue has no right to make such a statement lol.
Shouldn't this be a descendant of old mono blue not a ancestor
What you gonna do when they come for you?
Pteramander is missing from your deck for some unknown reason...
This deck's resilience vs monored is pretty absurd tbh. Compared to the "old style" of monoblue, i mean.
Oh no....is it back?!-.- and here’s your comment

Nice
Claim cares about CMC, not power

I watched to 0:25 . i hate blue. Good day, Sir.

At 8 minutes in when he bone crushes your face, that could have been your cutthroat, so,... good call not playing it
i do like cgb but honestly counterspell decks are the cancer of this game, and i dont care if its been around forever, it fucking sucks
Unsubbed for a week.
