Omg that red mage around 30 minutes was insane. On one level I truly admire someone who has the patience to take a game to the bitter end. If I'm gonna play a control deck then I do deserve to earn my wins, but COME ON MAN!!! HE'S GOT THREE SHARKNADOS!!! Edit: I'm definitely taking this for a spin tonight. It's everything I love in a control deck.
I'm pretty sure these are all recorded before that coaching session. Whenever his mythic grind series ends, that's when the teaching will go into effect.
Strixhaven Stadium singlehandedly turns Alrund's Epiphany into a win con. The birds alone and having tapped the mana stone a couple times previously is pretty strong. If you're already planning to bounce with Fable into Epiphany, that's game even from 0 counters on your Stadium. 1 from tapping it for Fable, +4 from the 3 Knights swinging and tapping it again for Epiphany, +5 from your birds and Knights attacking again. I don't know how much you feel like a mana stone helps your deck or not, but just something to think about.
I've been playing magic for so long that I can't remember... But I've learnt a LOT with u, CGB... and I'm still trying to learn the perfect timing to play the instants spells like you have.. Blue/White/Shark deck is my favorite of all time, i love artifact colorless deck but it sux nowdays in standard... Thank you so much for your videos and perfecft timing gameplay. I'm here with u everyday, bro. Regards from Brazil PS: I've added Dream Trawler to your deck, runs smooooooth
Switched in Kiora for the Shark Typhoon, idk over the long run if it's better, but it feels great to just steal a planeswalker after countering for the past 15 turns
It's a nice thought, but it means your deck needs a magecraft payoff (creature), enchantments and artifacts for Banish Into Fable, and more instants and sorceries for magecraft. Too much going on. Maybe could be Jeskai making treasures with prismari cards, and the lorehold draw 5 from your graveyard
@@bendeguzronai4568 The real truth is the reason esper (and bant and grixis) are unplayable as control archtypes is they didn't get triomes. It's just very very hard to play any 3 color control pile without a triome :(
@@MyBesso That is very true. My mana bases are ridicoulously bad. I don't have the wildcards to craft the pathways, so I run temples and the lifegain taplands. It's way too slow and irritating.
I thought this was a little silly with the Yorion/80 cards, because there isn't much value for Yorion and I don't like adding 20 cards and removing consistency for such potentially small returns. But then I tried to tweak it down to 60 cards and the deck sucked. So, when you're right you're right!
To be fair it isn't that bad rn. I've been having loads of fun (and reasonable success) with UW enchantments control which can really take over the game with Archon of suns grace and Niko Aris
@@barney3444 i played that for a while, and was successfull until you get into a certain win percentage and then "the shuffler is fine" and " the match maker is fine happens" and i got into a spiral of defeat after defeat.

also mystic reflections (blue copy a creature or planeswalker from kaldheim for 1U) works with Banish Into Fable so you could in theory pay 7 mana instead of 6 (if you foretold the thing earlier) and get 3 copies of.. something. MR goes on the stack last and I think you can still bounce whatever you target after. Bounce their Goldspan and you get 3 dragons

@52:09 your opponent makes a mistake. He blocks the token with the 2/2 dog, he should have sac'd a 1/1 dog to save the 2/2 dog and still kill your token
As a online Pokémon Tcg player, watching this makes my brain feel scrambled. So much going on, no idea what’s happening. Looks more mature than good ol Pokémon.
Hi, can you explain why you play this decks with Yorion when you say you don't really need for the bounce? I thought that less cards is always better, so than 60 would be better than 80, but you are a much better player than me, so I must be missing something
CGB decided it was time for a Test of talents. He locked himself in a Glass Casket and began reading his mazemind tome in preparation. The casket became a temple of enlightenment upon glimpsing freedom and his new found power was to banish the mono red scourge to fable. YOOORRRRIIIOOONNN!
@CGB Are these '1200 Mythic Push' videos recorded before the end of the season? I don't understand how you make Mythic rank in 48 hours. PS cool videos :-) Yorion #1
The thing with how ladder at mythic works is you not only need to win games but you also need to win them relatively fast or people that win faster simply outpace you and always get ranked higher. Only saving grace these days is that the meta as such is relatively slow.
hey CGB!😎 in german shark typhoon is called "haifun" (hai is the german word for shark). i know you love shark typhoon, could you call it "haifuuuunn" for fun?!🤓😂
Yo, so i’m relatively new to magic, i’ve been player for a little under a year with a lot of breaks, i’m interested in trying out other decks other then the ones that were given to me at the beginning, I have a few wild cards but not many..anyone have any deck recommendations?

I confess to watching your channel for some time now but only just subscribe after watching this video. Azorius control for life hash tag banish into fable.
Ended up dropping the snow lands and swapping Lore for a Thassa's Intervention. It's passable. What's made me really happy with the no-snow version is exchanging the Glacial Floodplains for two Jwari Disruption and two Emeria's Call. Super entertaining deck overall! It's been a nice change of pace.

Honestly I’ve been in 91 and higher and mythic every single month now but thank you my friend if you wanna play me it be great I don’t hardly lose but it’s good right now I’m playing one of my decks that maybe only lose is if I get mana hosed If you see me Cookeu
Yes, this was recorded in the middle of the night, yes I look tired, because I am, and yes, the battle is worth it
Thank you for all the work you are putting in these videos. Thanks!

Thanks for the hard work. Make sure you take care of yourself!
Man you look fresh and full of energy.
make something with that red/white kofri dude plz
Alright! Time to use all that aggro deck knowledge PVDDR taught us!
I'm pretty sure these are all recorded before that coaching session. Whenever his mythic grind series ends, that's when the teaching will go into effect.
Loving the control tone CGB uses during the end of season runs. It screams "I'm fighting the tilt. I can take anything!!!" 😆
Back to Azorius! Nice! It always feels... like home.
Because nobody knows 'controlling' like my Ma
Thanks for the dedication! I didn't expect to join at the right time. 😁
That game against mono white is absolutely beautiful
Epic match!
You’re the man, CGB - stoked to see you’re keeping the streak going!
All hail the X-files national champion!
The X-Files CCG GOAT

also counts as an artifact!
@@sebastiana2035 that's a great point, means he can chunk his Tomes more readily.
@@srsgoblin A one-of would be totally reasonable
CGB plays against red like he's a cat playing with a mouse.
"Birth, plains, epiphany, make birbs." - CGB's first words as a baby, probably, I don't know, I wasn't there. . .
His first words were "Play island, go"
No, his first word was "Counterspell"
RETUN-ERS!
Love watching the One in Best of One behind the wheel of a good 'ole control deck.
19:23 Always fun when your nemesis shows up, right??
THE RETUNR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
retunr of the king
how fitting for a gandalf deck
The soft “middle of the night”
Voice has an ASMR-ish feeling to it haha.
Great deck!

All hail the King of The X-Files Card Game (in the voice of that line from AoE 2)
Loved the mono-white deck game. Always nice to see you crawl your way out of a tight situation.
This a yorion deck with no big yooooorion moments, yet really fun control deck!
Triple hard cast Shark Typhoon ftw against mono-red. Epic.
Gotta give respect to red mage for hanging in there . They really fought it out .
Switched in Kiora for the Shark Typhoon, idk over the long run if it's better, but it feels great to just steal a planeswalker after countering for the past 15 turns
Thanks CGB! I'm in love with the deck ♥ It's been a while since i've enjoy playing azorius control :)
33:10 that is a lot of different tokens with a lot of different types.
I love banish into fable. I'm happy to see it get it's time in the sun
This is great. Love when you play these off meta decks on the ladder
This is some classic CGB!
It's always satisfying to see CGB play control. I don't hate it when he plays aggro. Still prefer control.
First game i had playing this and the oppo just left the game after some turns where i did basically nothing except staring; objective achieved
The well-known control deck win condition "your opponent loses the will to live"
Why not play the gain 1 life duals versus the snow lands, did the snow lands have an impact?
As much as I hate these Gandalf decks, it really says a lot that I enjoy watching CGB totally immersed in his element.
Wow, so Banish into Fable copies itself. Seems pretty strong with some good magecraft triggers.

Do you think Hall of Giants in the New D&D set would be good in this deck?
CGB, you use MTGAssistant, but manually count your lands. Do you not have the overlay option turned on that shows land count for you and opponent?
I wish esper control could be good again. I feel like dimir is just better than azorius because of blacks removal
YES, me too!
I play esper doom, although it's a bit outdated, you can spice it up with things like vanishing verse or test of talents, and it's really fun

Man i missed good old azorius. Hopefuly it ll be good again when D&D set comes out.

Ok
30:58 as good as slamming the second shark typhoon seems I think you missed lethal by not just cycling for the 8/8 shark.
Finally, Azorius again

Ah back to your Persona. Nice.
hey CGB!😎
in german shark typhoon is called "haifun" (hai is the german word for shark). i know you love shark typhoon, could you call it "haifuuuunn" for fun?!🤓😂
"So much text. How does it work?!"

A deck that doesn't take much wildcards is cycling. The deck is almost all uncommons and commons. A little boring though.
Finally! It *retunrs!!!*
This deck beat one of the best players in the world, ergo, it must be one of the best decks in the world.
You've gotta counter the opponents last spell simply on principal
YES, this is what I was waiting for, thx bro
Mine! This is my list now. I am Gandalf!
Why last oppo scoop i mean??? What?
As I've said before, magecraft x banish into fable. I don't own more than one copy of banish or I'd try it

i wonder how many Yorion Decks CGB have made scince the noodle was realesed
CKC! Love me the Sky Noodle! YORION!
Love your content cgb :) love azorious too
every time you play uw i get amazed
Graven Lore is sooo good, but I'm really iffy about running snow lands just for a single copy of that spell and nothing else. Argh! Tough decision!

Bro you concentrate on being tired way to much lol great content as always.
It's going to be a sad sad day when Shark Typhoon gets cycled out of standard, wonder what the main win con will be in control decks when it happens
Is that a Gandalf statue?!
Strixhaven stadium deck when?

New anti aggro strategy: WWPVDDRD?
Amazing how bad the shufflers are on Arena come on 24-27 mana and still get mana hosed. That's almost the only way I will lose!!
Quite the Retunrs indeed :P
Control Goes Blue!
Where's the smiley for Oblivion? 😛
I've missed like the last 15 videos.... I'm slacking. Haven't even paid any attention to this new set
Seasoned hollowblade entered the chat
It has retunred!
Feels like I'm always on the draw with this -.-
We are DESPERATE for you to keep up your streak. . . Jk feel free to take a week off, we’ll allow it 👹
Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God
Honestly I’ve been in 91 and higher and mythic every single month now but thank you my friend if you wanna play me it be great I don’t hardly lose but it’s good right now I’m playing one of my decks that maybe only lose is if I get mana hosed
If you see me Cookeu
So many missed opportunities to just play shark typhoon.
How bout a control deck without any wincon, just relying on the opponent scooping or decking by time
Finally!
When I see Azor I think of CGB but cool clean teferi-less Azor a more authentic brand.
Favourite card: DOOMSKAR
yup
Here's hall monitor
