I hate douchebags like you who only crack their fabled passage on the opponents turn even when you KNOW what you're grabbing from the get go and there's no other option you're going for. It's toxix, you're literally only doing it to interrupt your opponent on their turn. There's literally no need for it except trying to annoy your opponent.
@@youtubepremium7492 Theres a few reasons to do it on arena: 1. You havent played one of your colors yet and are trying to influence your opponents turn with uncertainty (possibly causing a misplay). 2. You have mana open but no instant speed responses, leaving that pause of "I have a response" any time your opponent casts a spell. 3. You have multiple instant speed responses, and the fabled passage may determine which of them you can cast. 4. Make them mad, like you are, right now.
CGB not sure if you were intentionally saying the card name wrong but it’s Pharika’s Libation*, not Liberation. A libation is a drink poured out as an offering to a god/gods (hence the art, and gameplay-wise demanding a sacrifice to the gods)
Lich is one of my fav cards its art is great and id argue every card should be designed like it! Nothing should be free ! Wanna indestructible? Gotta pay n tap! Tef 3 would be so much better design with 3 loyalties so u have to deside the turn it comes in play if u want the static or active ability. Questing beasts has all the keywords but no drawback? Nissa has no clause like nykia of the old ways that limits what you can do with the infinite mana? Embercleave can be equiped by every creatures even of its obviously for a knight? Assasins trophie is great too its cheap removel for everything but has its prize. Everything should have one!
Technically Questing Beast's drawback is the Legendary status, but your point stands. Nullhide Ferox is a recent example of a fairer design on a beefy green 4 drop. WotC doesn't respect the drawback like they used to.
@@jabendeacon yeah your right what bugs me the most that they are inconsistent like the example u gave. And thus the cards that are desinged well like nullhide which is a stats powerhouse becomes not played at all because theres a mono green card stat powerhouse without drawback
No, I came here to comment about that very thing. The card represents a philtre/potion/elixir, not an army. Not to detract from the skill at building and playing arena, he's quite good.
from someone who watches your videos regularly, might i suggest a QOL improvement for your youtube fans? sometimes i watch one or two matches and leave a second or a third for later in the day, would it be possible to tag the match startup times in the video description?
@@Jorg05111980 Each trigger on massacre girl lets state-based effects get checked before the next resolves, so if the devotion is coming from smaller bodies she'll live. If they have a mess of omens etc you'll be okay, unless of course they have mana (and presence of mind) to sacrifice them
It's always fun to discover "new" cards and since when I read "lich control" my mind went a whole different direction... Well, I count Underrealm Lich as new because I never even heard of it until now! :)
Been trying to make a deck with lich and using Font of Agonies with Erebos and vilis. Had to end up making it abzan to get some life gain with white. And using Witch's oven and Cauldron for the card draw with erebos. Would love to see how you make that combo. It's been pretty fun!
That's certainly not a bad idea! I was going to say that the recent Jace from War of the Spark might be better, but because his passive requires you to draw a card, Underrealm Lich would make him useless (as CGB described, you wouldn't be able to draw cards :P). Even though there wouldn't be much devotion to the oracle, that doesn't matter if there are no cards in the library.
@@dragonirradiant3188 The other issue with Jace is that he has to stick around. With the amount of planeswalker hate right now, there's a good chance that he will be removed with your card draw on the stack. Jace is also 3 blue instead of 2 making him harder to cast.
@The Creative Contingent The idea isn't that it is really useful but as a last resort if you mill yourself. it's also better than Jace as it's an etb trigger all on one line os removing it doesn't cause you to lose the game.
@@geovannyleonardo9658 You would really be playing it for it's devotion but more as a last resort should you mill yourself. It's a safer option than Jace.
I would admit cgb. Theres times i dont like you and im sure you might seen a comment or two of mines that you didn't like but man i have to admit your committed. You keep the grind coming. Respect. Would love for you to branch onto modern to see how you do there.
@@HanHorlings The -8 on jace has nothing to do with his static ability. It reads, "Draw 7 cards, then if you have no cards in your library you win the game." each of this "draws" would be replaced by Lich's static ability. Jace is set up this way so that you can -8 him at 8 loyalty and not lose the game.
A lot of good ideas roaming around. You could do fae of wishes with several of those options in sideboard. I'm BO1 lover so FoW is my best friends when I have blue mana. Always room for 2 heh
Man i hate it when someone has a 75 card deck. Basically 2 decks. Idk why fae was made in the first place. I see why you are bo1 lover lol. In bo3 fae gets wrecked.
Okay, hear me out here; Underrealm Lich + The Gitrog Monster. Maybe some kind of self mill deck, cause those two will accomplish that goal easily. I'd say Woe Strider to kill the Lich so you can actually die (cause the Strider can come back and all that), and then obviously a couple of Jaces. I dunno, it's an idea that popped into my head recently and I'd be interested in seeing someone who actually has cards in Arena try it out.
@@tomyang1117 Yeah, nox/legend made a deck like that. I wanted to take it down the Terravore beatdown path though. Nothing beats a 20/20 turn five trampler.
Great vid as always. I do prefer when you play a standard event though, i understand the normal games when you play jank but this deck seemed a little more up to standards- standards 😃
5:50 you should of assaind instead of murder boy to not give Them the land or shuffle away whatever they kept on top. Det to do this but my Brain would never let me sleep if i didnt.so dont take this badly,om Still gonna watch u.

A libation is a beverage you pour out in praise of the gods. Not a liberation. A libation.
Am I the only one that had a tiny little aneurysm every time he called it Pharika's Liberation?

First opponent was a very fun game to watch.
Another great video CG. I actually really enjoyed this one a LOT.
One of the best matchups I've seen in a long time, that was a great game.
Idk if massacre girl works on thassa. Bcuz she will lose the devotion once enough other weaker creatures die.
Wondering/thought the same too, who can confirm?
I've definitely seen Heliod survive Massacre Girl when he stopped being a creature before reaching 0/0. Thassa would be the same.

Agent Thassa really makes the game fun. Teferi too. Very fun.
Don't forget Elspeth's Death!
32:32 - I think that hand was quite golden already (with 5 multicolored cards)
Oh, man, I forgot how much I love Underrealm Lich. This deck was a blast to watch
Agreed. Great to watch this high level play, especially given I'm FTP.
This had become my favorite Deck in current Standart. Maybe not the most competitive. But easily the most fun.
Been trying to make a deck with lich and using Font of Agonies with Erebos and vilis. Had to end up making it abzan to get some life gain with white. And using Witch's oven and Cauldron for the card draw with erebos. Would love to see how you make that combo. It's been pretty fun!
Could even try it without the cat's and use Cauldron of eternity for the extra life pay and to reanimate the creatures the Lich puts in the graveyard
This is one my favorite decks I’ve seen so far
cgb: wrecks the reef
opp: there is another!
How about one Thassa’s Oracle for when you do manage to empty your library?
1 not enough devotion 2 that card is over played and sorta boring imo lol

Which set is Vraska in? Her icon in Arena looks like an A and she can't be crafted.
Thanks for the game . Just trying different deck idea's, either way yours was definitely better. I'm skyline
Glad someone's getting to play arena hasn't worked for me since the update
I would admit cgb. Theres times i dont like you and im sure you might seen a comment or two of mines that you didn't like but man i have to admit your committed. You keep the grind coming. Respect. Would love for you to branch onto modern to see how you do there.
Nice deck! I have a pretty fun combo deck with Underrealm Lich, Konrad and Looming Shaman
7:45, what is the point of ditch the land if you can destroy it with vraska, get one life and draw a card?
so you can draw smtin else?
Have you ever started a deck build with Polukranos & Hydra growth?
This deck cool af, but I would like to see eRaze's decklist. It also seems very fun.
why didnt you escape polukranos in the first battle??
What about a black red white knight deck using the mythic knight from eldrain?
Thank God we don't see so many cat oven decks. Nice video cgb
Are you playing challenge or normal game?
Will there be another uw control video in the future? 😏
Also, if you -8 a Jace, Wielder of Secrets with Lich on the field and less than 22 cards in your library, you win!
I don't think so, because lich will not make you draw. It says to put one of top three cards in your hand.
