Saw it for sure (I have been running mono white for years and in the mirror block sack comes up a lot). What I don't understand is why the opponent did not sac and bring back a creature for at least 3 more life on board.
I remember you saying you’re working on your collection again. I would love to request more brawl and a table top video of you and your wife playing. Table Top Tuesdays lol.
Sleep of the Dead is an amazing card for this deck. For 1 mana you can get a magecraft trigger, take care of a blocker for 2 turns, and it escapes for 3 mana and 3 cards.
This is the first deck, for some time now, that you are playing a deck I haven't seen any other content creators playing before you make your video. Thank you for a more novel deck.
I've been running a deck like this as well. A card like fairy godmother is good for this kind of list. That Adventure part of the card is very helpful to give a creature evasion
I've been trying to play mono white, uw, and rb magecraft decks since week 1 of strixhaven and some days I go 10-0 and other days I just lose to all matches (even to starter decks in unranked). Two cards that have worked well for me where basri's solidarity and kaya's onslaught.
So can anyone else weigh in here; 19:35 to 19:45 If you play the second Show Of Confidence here in response to the Magecraft trigger, the two spells "see" each other and the first spell would've gotten to copy itself instead of the trigger whiffing. Is that accurate?
LVD did this with Selesnya and said you can play the white Package with basically every other color. Seems like he was right if you can even build a Azorius deck with it. great shit man :). Will try it out. It is also fun with sedgemore Witch (black)
What do you think about running Mentor's Guidance for a deck like this? It's two copies of Opt played simultaneously for 2U, essentially. Every creature in your deck except Lurrus triggers it's duplication. Which, with all of the Magecraft available in the deck, seems really strong to me.
Back to MTGArena for 3 weeks now... made a deck similar to this one as soon as i got back. Its a bit less consistent due to the land differences, but still amazing. Show of confidence + Lightscribe + creatures + any random spell can be a bit tricky to calculate dmg.. sometimes i go for the kill thinking im getting him to 1 and they end up -15 Need to get that 1 white , 1/1 counter + learn in my deck
Was playing a similar deck recently based off LVD's list except with a couple mavindas and orvars in it. Probably not as good, but copying lightscribe with Orvar is a blast.
Finally, i play the jeskai variation a lot in rank. Crash trough is most important for your big girl. Of course with cool expresive Card. One question, where is the stormgate creature? so much value and perfect to get another human on the board
i saw a version with kaya onslaught + defiant strike + resolution strike with luminancer to do 20 damage on turn tree T1 luminancer T2 foretell kaya onslaught T3 combo kill
Never fails. I log in to do a few games and knock out my daily quest and I always encounter a deck that was featured on this channel. I usually win too because I know exactly what to play around. >;)
Buying boosters is the short term solution, playing drafts is the long term one. Drafting helps hone your skills all around and the more you improve the more it pays off collection-wise. Plus drafts are hella fun :D
Also, cutting red from a Jeksai deck seems like a scam... Opens up Triomes for the mana, cards like Crash Through and Expressive Iteration to get magecraft triggers and more draws...
No mentors guidance?? Mentors guidance!! If you have a wizard out (and you probably do with this deck), it is scry 1 draw 1 twice and two magecraft triggers for one card and three mana!!!!!
I really like the coloured dots in the title. Thank you for starting to do that.
I second the motion
I third lol
👍
I’m colorblind and I hate it
Ooh yes it let's me know at a glace if it's a deck I'd be interested in
That self takedown was a huge play I honestly didn’t see, good stuff
Timestamp?

Yeah that was a nice play
@@qasimabdul-baki6919 probably did not expect that prevention of damage and just accepted defeat without trying anymore
Takedown on your own critter was galaxy brain, opponent probably never expected it LOL. Excellent play!
Can't wait for the ⚪🔵🔴🟢⚫ deck video!
most likely tiamat in next expansion (?)
"Why do I play magic? Is it because I like pain?" - CGB Quote of the Day.
CGB when he's on the play: attack for 0 to establish dominance.

That monowhite game was incredible.
29:17 Every time you played an Instant/Sorcery before playing a Sage on the same turn in this game made me sad for the 2 damage you missed.

LVD die a Selesnya version of this. He said you can build it with white and any other color. Guess he was right. Amazing shit tho
LVD did this deck on channelfireball.
Seth from MTGGoldFish has another one too
Crokeyz basically played all color combinations when Strixhaven released... Except azorius
Yeah, as other people have said, CGB was pretty late to this one. Not that it matters, still great content.

I only downloaded 2 weeks ago, and I got to platinum 4. I've kind of hit a wall now though

CGB trying to say the name "Professor of Symbology" always makes me chuckle lol
Targeting your own symmetry sage at 31:15 was excellent.
Magecraft was designed by math teachers to be like, "See?! We told you this would be useful in real life!!"
LVD did this with Selesnya and said you can play the white Package with basically every other color. Seems like he was right if you can even build a Azorius deck with it. great shit man :). Will try it out. It is also fun with sedgemore Witch (black)
I´m just hoping someone plays a RW version with birgi and robber of the rich to peel speels off of the opponents deck
"...Because Azorious is not a school... which is lame, I would go to that school 100%."
🤣🤣🤣
Me too!!!
Thanks for sharing this deck! I have been running a slight variant of it and finally moving up in Platinum.
my LGS is opening up standard FNM and I'm probably going to play this deck. Minus the MDFC lands this deck is like 40$ budget standard deck that kills

That Kabira takedown on your own Symmetry Mage to prevent opponents lifegain was brilliant 👌
10:00 turn 4, lethal in hand. CGB: I wish this land was a different colour
This deck is legit, and that Kibera Takedown play was galaxy mind.
Sage is a baller one drop. Nice deck CGB.
That takedown play was next level! There are levels to this and that was alpha big brain status!
Do you have that five mana colorless exile lesson in your sideboard? Cause that gets around dog and bounty.
This may be a dumb question but why not a few more removal spells? My huge clever girl always gets blocked. Wouldn’t Unsummon or Study Break fit?
Very fun deck dude! I reach Mythic with an adaptation of Heliod+Blade Historian and now im playing this! Nice content!
You like this or the all white version? All white seems more consistent but could be variance.
Algorithm juice. I have been enjoying Magecraft decks since Strixhaven came out and looking for the right one. This looks promising!
Why is it that every time you said "Lurrus" I only heard "Yorion" in the intro. ;)
Does anyone know if there will be a qualifier weekend for placing top 1200 by the end of the may season?
Was playing a similar deck recently based off LVD's list except with a couple mavindas and orvars in it. Probably not as good, but copying lightscribe with Orvar is a blast.

Right before you said something i was thinking of doing this deck with no lurris (maybe one maindeck) and Mavinda.
Thank you cgb, was traying something like this with mavinda, but Lurrus provides far more gas
I never thought of splashing blue. I might try this.
I like the color dots in the title.. A E S T H E T I C S
I really like some of the mage craft creatures they have. Lumimancer and others are super good
Its been very enlightening to follow along with what your rank is by what number is in the title of the day
i saw a version with kaya onslaught + defiant strike + resolution strike with luminancer to do 20 damage on turn tree
T1 luminancer
T2 foretell kaya onslaught
T3 combo kill
@Maskensaft I think he's talking about resolute strike.
Sweet deck, having fun.. when the shuffler doesnt hide all your creature cards like the perfectly balanced state of the art algorithm that it is
2 miscast are really cool in this deck, i ve playing this a couple weeks.
How many matches you did?
jwari disruption is played yet still underrated imho. no idea if its a good fit for this one tho
I played against this deck earlier and I just knew it was made by CGB :D
Never fails. I log in to do a few games and knock out my daily quest and I always encounter a deck that was featured on this channel.

13:48 you can see a typical aggro player
*dead to land topdeck*
*still turns creatures sideways*
Hi guys new to arena here, what is the bestway to complete collection in one booster? Should i keep buying a booster for 1k gold or joining the draft?
Buying boosters is the short term solution, playing drafts is the long term one. Drafting helps hone your skills all around and the more you improve the more it pays off collection-wise. Plus drafts are hella fun :D
@@marlowemouse thx 4 ur advice....so drafting is faster way to getting all rare card than opening a booster
Feels like it needs four more learn spells for the extra spell gas it provides. Not sure what that card is though in UW
Added a few study break, worked quite fine to push damages through!
Must be great minds : I put this deck together 2 days ago 👍
6:40 CGB becomes a Thwomp
Remeber. Ravnica names are superiour
"Why do I play Magic? Is it because I like pain?"
I love the color dots !
In the monowhite match, indestructible Heliod just sitting there was painful to watch.
No Sea Gate Stormcaller? That card is amazing in magecraft and is better than symmetry sage I reckon...
Also, cutting red from a Jeksai deck seems like a scam... Opens up Triomes for the mana, cards like Crash Through and Expressive Iteration to get magecraft triggers and more draws...
Played against the deck today - Pretty sweet
I'm seeing this using concerted defense pretty well
Anyone know why Show of Confidence doesn't have Storm? Just spelled it out because it was the only one in the set?
Well storm is for each spell. Show of confidence is only copied for sorceries / instants.
@@j.ganter2121 Maybe a flavor thing with Magecraft then. I don't think it matters much otherwise
Dude... did no one get the Jurassic park refrence
I tried the blue wizard that.copies you next instant or sorcery. It was mediocre at best
I like the deck idea! But I just kept getting ran over. Won 1 out of 15 matches
Guiding voice! It's you and your wife doing covertgolore!
Wowza this deck is fast!
It was one thing when you played mono-red. Icky, but fine. But turning the colors of justice into an aggro deck? This is treason.
CGB wins three games in a row and then looses one: "why do I play magic?" 15:14
I thought people were sleeping of symmetry sage.
Finally a deck I can actually afford
“With a creature and a non creature”
Do you now see the magic of Magic?? Play lots of lands, get mana screwed. Play few lands, flood. It’s brilliant.
That izzet game was stupid. Gotta love when they top deck exactly what they need over and over
fun to watch! Magecraft is kinda lame. Sure any deck can be powerful this is not a good deck, thx for the content
Azorius is cool but we need another standard dimir deck (That isn't rogues)
No mentors guidance?? Mentors guidance!! If you have a wizard out (and you probably do with this deck), it is scry 1 draw 1 twice and two magecraft triggers for one card and three mana!!!!!
Let the beatings commence
"Cut Mavinda because Lurrus, maybe worth it maybe not, but I like Lurrus."
Likely story, we all know you just don't like Mavinda! 😂
Barely got through 10 minutes of the video before importing the deck to Arena. 🤣
turn 4 wins? damn u can play this as is in historic. And most people thought strixhaven was low power jeez
this random algorithm boosting comment will be a question does anyone feel disappointed now when seeing the daily deal pack is 900 gold?
Imagine playing rouges and not milling a single card. Imagine how bad you have to be to pull that off.
Love the vid
That ranking went down quick though.
CKC! CGB the Masochist ;)
Still can't hit the like button until you tell me I'm cool.
I played 5 games today, 3 were against this deck. Now I know why.
:) Nice😁
i had terrible luck with this deck. just boros and red decks every match.
i've built this deck but damn it is sooooo fragile. If they destroy early 1 or 2 of your creatures you can quit
Man, when cgb calls out green instead of black for the other card draw color, makes me hate green even more
Ayo I can play this is it good
CGGlee heard
Getting half your lands in the top 20...
Day 11 of asking CGB to play blex
Nice
Yo
Too much math and thinking required to win past turn 4... 😂
Cgb can't math. Thumb down
