I agree I have been watching him now for about a year and he always does a great job each and every day. Keep the streak alive CGB its been a hell of a experience and you've made me a better player aswell! Thanks buddy!
Been watching for over two years. Always pleased with the content. Colabs are always great, getting to see cgb bully other youtubers. And while my finances aren’t where they need to be to join the cool kids club or patreon, he definitely deserves it.
CGB! I'm the Yorion's player, and I just figured I played against you watching your video ahha, pretty excited. And yes, is your deck (with small modifications), and yes, I'm your fan!
Cause im unable to play magic at the moment and haven't played in about a year or so literally the only reason i know whats happening in arena and paper magic is cause of you! I can only imagine but it must also be hard sometimes for you, not necessarily cause of mono red or the shuffler🤣or magic itself but maybe personal things happening in you're life, so thank you! I try watch every single upload but holy hell...you are a machine!! And always love the content!
Hi from Japan, CGB. Even though I enjoy your videos quite a bit, I come to watch them not for the fun of it, but to see what your fans will play that day so I know what to expect. I end up playing against your decks quite a bit while climbing the ladder. It’s a testament to how much influence you have on the mtga community these days, so bravissimo for that :) always enjoy your vids sir, thank you.
Man, those matches where the card you need the most, which you have four of in the deck, but they're all tucked away in the bottom half of the deck is so devastating.
I seriously wonder how well the 80’card format translates to paper. With it being a fairly new effort all things considered (or at least previous 80 card competitive efforts fizzling out more or less completely) I really can’t wait for paper magic to return and find out if these things stick around or if the shuffler was just the right amount of rigged in all formats to make your curve be fine enough that it didn’t matter.
I've been throwing in 1-3 copies of soul shatter in most of my control decks for the last several months and it's saved my ass many times. It gets around the dog, alseid, hexproof, creatures, indestructible, can hit planeswalkers, etc. It's pretty great. I've been using baleful mastery instead in a lot of cases now though because it costs less (or more if u dont want to give them a card) and you can choose the target. Still agree soul shatter is an under rated removal spell.
I’ve been hyping soul shatter for months. It’s so underrated it’s unreal. It’s so worth the extra cost. Like it’s super rare that you DON’T want to get rid of the highest costing thing they have.
@@kill6969 Yeah, I'm always happy to get rid of their highest cost card. The one thing it's just bad against is like a shark typhoon slam I guess, but that's not usually something u have to worry about, or u can use other cards for it
This is the problem with MTGA. Other than "Deck Smoothing" the matchmaking is also rigged. Tons of aggro? I'll play an anti aggro deck. 10 straight games vs Ultimatums and control. If MTG wants you to lose you lose. Why they don't just have random card draw and random matchups I'll never know.
17:52 so satisfying CGB hitting us with more monoblack Magic than MonoBlackMagic 39:18 Why is it not enough? Hunt for Specimen (2mana) into confront the past (1+X for 8 = 9mana) 9+2 = 11, and you have 11 mana NVM i just needed to be patient for 3 seconds
Honestly, I find plat the hardest rank to win in as someone who plays off meta decks/own brews. My time in mythic was infinitely easier than plat, surprisingly came across rogues and mono white a lot let.
My favorite black card is Nekrataal. Not overpowered in any way, but IMO well constructed. Human assassin: kills a creature, has low power and toughness, but has first strike. Costs double black, and can't destroy other black creatures. It is a balanced black creature card with a little bit of flavor.
Not fave black card but long, long ago when I had so few cards I was buying fallen empires packs and didn't know how bad they were or the set was and I was trying and trying to get an Ebon Praetor/Thrull deck to work. It didn't work.
Spellweavers satchel is probably better than solemn in a deck like this, also if making this change forbidden fruit is a good card draw alternative to tome as it can target the opponents with an onyx in play for 4 damage. I also run stuff like 4 md duress and 2 lash of malice in order to use satchel on turn 3 for mana (1 cmc spell into 3cmc) or you can go learn into sciences which ends with a counter on satchel, satchel also allows a turn 4 shadows verdict which I run 4 of and 0 extinction event.
I'm having problems thinking how post rotation control decks are going to be like with al the cheap removal rotating out. All time favorite black cards: yawgmoth's will and necrologia.
Every recorded game this deck won, it won thanks to Ugin. Someone could think that any jank with 3 Ugins jammed into it, can win a fair amount of games.
In a deck like this, Ugin makes everything else about the game irrelevant. If you live to cast Ugin, you win. That's the entire point. One card, game over. Completely skill-based game here.
You still have to survive until you can cast it in a meta that can win on turn 4 with winota or embercleave or turn 5 with an emergent ultimatum. And honestly, I would rather face Ugin every time than an Ultimatum. Ugin is bad for midrangy decks that flood the board and dont run interaction, but there are a lot of decks that can play around it fine.
@@kharnthebetrayer1575 Kinda unecessary to be honest. In the deck you need to survive the early wave of aggression and Ugin is to expensive for that. On the late game it can win without Ugin no problems.
cgb - is there a deck that farms sultai ultimatum? is it just rogues? All my decks are good vs creatures but just flail vs sultimatum. is that the death of midrange?
With 6 Planeswalkers I'm a bit surprised you aren't using Blood on the Snow as a sweeper, at least as a 1 of that can clear all creatures and get back an Onyx all in 1 go. But that being said I do like this deck!
Game 1, Professor Onyx, then hunt for specimens :) not the other way around. That life gain and damage is legit vs aggro. (Not that it made a difference)
Wow both CGB and HGG did a black deck and damn would you look at what wizard put in the store? Black sleeve and cosmetics. If I were a conspiracy nut I'd think they work to promote the sales. If the do hope they getting paid. By the way thanks guys I had the perfect deck to wreck all these black decks that now flood the meta. Keep up the good work you guys make farming so easy.
Wish I was compatible with card games, but no matter how I try, I’m too dumb to succeed in these... P.s. I have a dog named Onyx, so when I saw the Professor Onyx card, I looked at my pooch and asked when did he become a professor?! 😂😂😂

CGB your hair and the swamp land artwork are matching today, noice!
I'm going to watch the witherbloom video right after this one because as a fellow blue mage I can't let monored win.
abzan game was brutal, the shuffler wanted to punish you with those ultimatums
It would be interesting to know the CGB effect on the meta. Every single time I play against something different I come here and there is a video.
Your hairstyles are chaos incarnate bro ❤️
Covertgoblue: i want chaos
Barber: say no more!
Uhh can I get that Brendan Fraser

Liliana now is with Ugin. Sorry Bolas-san
Been saying for a long time. The amount of "Binding of the Old Gods" that those 80 card Yorion decks draw is suspicious...
all yorion decks are rigged.
All yorion decks perform incredibly well...

Shuffler is fine
"Migh also be true of plat or diamond, you would have to ask someone who is there" might be my favorite humble brag.

"They done. It's over for them." - CGB 2021
:D
It does not matter what decks we expect, matchmaking decides what we will play against. Played mostly against control when I tried to play mono black.
This is the problem with MTGA. Other than "Deck Smoothing" the matchmaking is also rigged. Tons of aggro? I'll play an anti aggro deck. 10 straight games vs Ultimatums and control. If MTG wants you to lose you lose. Why they don't just have random card draw and random matchups I'll never know.
@@SpaklesDr if you play casual and spend money you get the best experience. At least that is how I see it.
its made so that you always have a 50% winrate....
Seems legit
17:52 so satisfying
CGB hitting us with more monoblack Magic than MonoBlackMagic
39:18 Why is it not enough? Hunt for Specimen (2mana) into confront the past (1+X for 8 = 9mana) 9+2 = 11, and you have 11 mana
NVM i just needed to be patient for 3 seconds
12:26 playing the spell before professor onyx, nice ;) lol
Poor magecraft

I'm just glad I get CGB everyday. Best TH-camr around.
digging the early 2000s cut 🔥💯🔥💯
Patiently waiting a mono blue control….. GO BLUE!

A very strong build. Kudos

Stopped playing arena weeks ago, but still enjoying the vids!
This deck is insane keep up the good content
CKC! That last game was fun and painful, emblematic of the human condition
these deck can't we use in rotation 2022 no?
I feel you could easily fit a couple Hagra Maulings here. You don't care much if one early land comes in tapped

CGBlack is CGBack!
do you know a more flavourful wincon than ugin?
u looked so sad after that game, that was a hard game. Keep up the good content.
always look forward to these releases, daily streak is absolute madness
This looks really cool! Maybe I finally switch from your Ashiok control and start terrorizing the ladder with a different deck
With 6 Planeswalkers I'm a bit surprised you aren't using Blood on the Snow as a sweeper, at least as a 1 of that can clear all creatures and get back an Onyx all in 1 go. But that being said I do like this deck!
Hate playing vs black but fun to watch this, even the final match was entertaining for sure
15:56 This is a mistake that I make from time to time, as well: overvaluing your creatures when you should just send the team.
Wow i literally just tried making a mono black ctrl deck. Bless
Game 1, Professor Onyx, then hunt for specimens :) not the other way around. That life gain and damage is legit vs aggro. (Not that it made a difference)
OMG I'm trying this deck right now and it works perfectly!
It seems ike there is a desync between your sound at the visual. I heard you call the cling to dust before you drew it and your lips don't match up.
Thanks you again CGB :))
Game vs Abzan Yorion is absolutely epic
CGB what have you done? I'm never going to think of ox of agonas the same way ever again!
That back to back Eerri Ultimanum though 😂
Ox of aganos whichever shall it be
Finally, MBC is something that always belongs to every meta
You have 11 mana, hunt plus confront can get ugin.
CBG is, the one in best of one! Thanks for all the hard work and dedication buddy you always show up with great content each day and its appreciated!
Favorite black card has to be Grave Titan! Man that was a fun one to slam
I read Mono Black Control but don't see Gray Merchant of Asphodel :(
Oh I was so hoping this was historic mono b control :)
Man that last game. I know how that feels. Opponent always has the answer lol.
It's really annoying. Always happens the last game of a draft tournament...
I use borrower to bounce the pests when it's a tempo play
I miss my vampire tribal deck but sadly most of the good cards have rotated out of standard
Hope to see another Abzan Eerie Ultimatum pile before all that goodness rotates out.
Ox of Agonas, whichever will it be
Sit the f**ck down Tripline I'm here to make you really trip
Hey man. I notice you spike you hair a lot. You should consider a Viking style haircut. Long on top, pulled back, and then short on side.
Does anyone know where to learn deck building and how to make cards work together as new cards come out
Play the game
You gotta watch videos like this. Listen to people like Sam Black and other magic pros. It’s a skill you pick up as you play
@@anthonysarmiento974 I do
Now this is what I’ve been waiting for. Mono black control. Lmao what if they ever give us necro again?
Thanks for the thanks cgb ps. Account name comes from my rp character name on thefamilyrp
I've played against this deck more than a handful of times and it's absolutely as frustrating a deck to play against as there is
Tried this list won 9 straight at diamond 😀 strong list
the matchmakingsystem gives you almost enemy with similar decks. even in ranked...
Virgin quitter merchant, Chad CGB
Thanks for your Videos😁❤️ #13 Seconds ago☺️ Where is the DARK Lord, Mono black Magic XD😂
I wanna see the jank king vs the evil blue mage
@@ryutipscows9712 I believe that cgb did a crossover on his 666th video in the streak
@@ryutipscows9712 XD
We need a rematch series between the Dark Lord and the #1 blue mage for sure!
@@BBBJBeable Yeah, XD☺️
PKA sent me here 🤘👍
Thought confront the past was XBB but it's just XB so I thought you were 1 shy of ugin too.
Why play the hunt before playing onyx game 1
Doesn't it just fold to faceless haven?
Nah, Field of Ruin handled that nicely.
I don’t understand how the withbloom and 13 lander are your most watched lol.
praise to the almighty algorithm
YESSSSSS I LOVE IT
Mono Back is mono awesome.
Because of course they would top deck a Bloodchief right after you make them discard one
My girlfriends brawl deck with liliana pisses me off😂I love using black but hate playing it
That last game was frustrating
No Necromentia? CGB. It's not a real control deck without that card 🤨
BBC - Big Black Control
man I really hate playing aginst these types of decks lol.
Neat deck but my first matchup was against a control deck and I just can't risk playing a game that boring ever again.
he forgot ugin's cmc is 8 and he could've hunted into confront the past, he had 11 manna
I miss thrulls
I so love it when people play Thoughtseize on me....
I just need to hear someone tell me I'm cool 😎.
