NordVPN better
CGB: I think it's the talent.
Innkeeper's Talent: I am inevitable.
You should probably replace the commune with evil with Confounding riddle. Same draw effect, same cost, but it can double as a counter spell when necessary which is more useful than the lifegain IMO. Also it's an instant so you can play it on there turn, which makes it infinity better.
Honestly great add skit, keep the good work!
I love graveyard-heavy decks that self-mill to have a toolbox available. In standard, I'm increasingly playing dimir decks.
This is a thing of beauty.
Many people still don’t realize it but Kiora is a really sick card. The value it provides is just insane.
It's funny, in WU Tempo, people will always kill her and I'm like, "That's fine, I just wanted the draw two / discard two..."
@@Kasaazyep! Exactly. And when you take it back and gain value again and again and they’re out of removals, the fun begins.
As a yugioh player if a card says “draw” its already broken
CGB has had enough so he's playing Kiora. He crossed the Threshold.
This is the first deck I've seen with overlord of the balemurk where it really looks like an all-star level card, more than just a durdly midrange piece or graveyard enabler
I'm really loving Kiora. Yeah, it's a 3 drop that dies to Cut Down, but it almost never feels bad to play in spite of that. Seeing it at 4 and 3 in so many things says a lot.
It's honestly reminding me of Fable of the Mirror Breaker in a lot of ways. Not nearly as much value, but it's also generally a faster threat and the draw power is better.
Man some of these games had me on the edge of my seat haha. That was exciting to watch and the deck looked super fun
The counting the lands into the scoop made me laugh haha.
I love the black overlord. I use it in my Golgari deck with Mites. I need to add a few planeswalkers to the deck it seems. And maybe an innkeepers talent and the creature that gets back permanents. Hmmm.
I'm a dimir degenerate, and this deck looks so sweet ! You're telling me I get to play mill combo ? and Lili + Jace ? and Kiora + Overlord ? and sheoldred ??? sign me up Captain Falcon !!
Gotta say that was my favorite ad you've ever done.
there has to be some kind of algorithm or something, too often I see someone with no hand drawing miracle hail marys
they're cheating.
@@VinclumIt’s an algorithm thing; I play with a tracker that shows me chances of stuff happening, and things with a sub 0.01% chance of happening happen ~pretty often~.
For instance, it’s incredibly unlikely to draw 6 lands in a row, but if you’re on a 4+ winstreak in comp it starts to happen.
If you’re on a loss streak and have a bad hand, it’ll conjure what it thinks you need more often.
@@healdrop9313 observation bias. If I pick a random number between 0 and 10'000, every possible outcome is a 0.01% event. But the probability of hitting such an event is 100%.
I don't know about specific cards but when your winning streak gets +6 you definitely start getting mana screwed very often.
@healdrop9313
It's not an algorithm thing and I doubt you have the sample size to prove it.
It's almost like you can literally get 10x the game volume on arena as you can a paper event so you see your low percentage things happening "more often". Meanwhile the obvious answer is you're playing a higher volume of games thus exposed to more variance.
appreciate the add reads being genuinely funny
Just wanting CGB to show me an azorius control decklist that handles the burn and the midrange meta right now
Doomsday is one of my favorite creatures added. As a mono-black player (also a demir player). Its a card where you can feel the panic and "wtf" moment from your opponent through the screen when they realize that they have 6 draws to win. I get so many scoops when I slap Doomsday down.
CGB suited up looks like a villian out of the old Dick Tracy movie.
ngl I get infinitely more nettled by black than red nowadays.
CGB you do the impossible, you make ads so enjoyable. Bless you. Never change. 😎
You are playing the toughest game mode. Trying to learn the new cards and almost every year cards get rotated out and in. I think you are one of the best players I've ever seen.
As soon as I saw Paul as your opponent in game 1 I knew it was going to be a wild ride...
I love these intense back and forth control games
That poor opponent at 34:10 or so counting CGB's mana and realizing he had it was just pure kino. That's the kind of thing that'd make the highlight reeel in an in-person tournament. "Uh... ...how much black mana you got open over there, friend? ...one, two... hell. Good game."
That overlord pun though 😂😂
Chiyon really believed in the heart of the cards
"Why don't I record these late night Mythic grinds?" (*cough*monored*cough*)
Hey that’s not true anymore now it’s mostly boros
Hence the language he uses haha
It's a fun deck to play. I added a couple of blue Leylines
Black has become such a scary color to see these days so many winning combos 😂
CGB. Unleash the BEAST.
if everyone was putting as much effort into ads, ad blocking would not have been a thing ;)
Everyone just puts effort into their ads because ad blocking exists.
@@phrsilva i dunno, youtube/google seems to be investing into getting rid of adblocks
and not into making better ads
@@nikita1911001 Ad blocking is a security feature. Video ads on TH-cam aren't why you need an adblocker, but it's a nice bonus. You need adblock for websites like Twitter that don't filter malicious ads.
Nah, I'd still block ads, just like I skipped this one.
Because I'm not here for the ads, and the more that they get in the way of the reason why I'm here to begin with, the more I dislike them.
pretty satisfying to see the discard piles get destroyed by a little bit of chess, that game 3 was magnificent 👌
CGB, that vpn ad was on point.
30:25 Average monoblack hand
CGB has anyone ever told you your ads have jim carrey energy
I absolutely love Kiora. I feel like it's incredibly underrated
Wade Wilson playing blue white control!? WTF Deadpool, WTF.
Mazemind tome control brings me back man 😢
I love decks like this - but there is no damn way I can afford to craft it. I wish CGB and others could play decks that are a teeny bit more budget friendly.
CGB is right. I face either aggro or blue/black in gold. My deck is a scuffed dino deck(cause I just started on arena) can’t really keep up.
I haven't played magic in months, but I will always click a Dimir video
CGB is providing the perfect example in this video. Vs mono red, his opponent draws like 5 lands in a row in their ~16-land deck. He says nothing, notices nothing. They finally get a playable card, he says they're super lucky. He draws fewer lands in a row than they did, in his ~27 land deck, and he complains about getting such unlucky topdecks. You always notice when the topdecks hurt you, never notice when your opponent is getting insanely unlucky topdecks that are keeping you in the game. The end of the game the aggro player had 8 lands out. Which means half the lands in their deck. Versus his 11, as a control player who was drawing tons of extra cards.
Oh dear, first game was painful as hell. You can´t win, while your opponent topdecks like this
i hope we see more classic burn aggro over the new pump creature aggro i find it to be much less frustrating
Almost makes me want Founding the Third Path. Almost.
This video shows my actual experience on Ranked. MonoRed is hardly the problem right now. It's 90% black discard, constant removal for ages and otherwise sweepers. Absolutely dreadful to play if you want to play any sort of creature based deck.
My experience as a humble mouse player is playing against 20 black decks in a row and wanting to jump into oncoming traffic.
@@moonrabbitlullabies7966 Tell me about it. I love my creature decks like Soldiers and Angels, but what's the point, gonna run into boring discard and Sunfall decks all day anyway.
Just play Brawl mostly now.

hits mythic for shits and giggles after 5 beers. If those runs were on patreon I’d buy
The luck/unluck in that first game was insane.
With the Overlord for 2 mana you get self mill+Raise Dead+Impending Powerful Creature, and you think they are not good enougjh?
You know ur in the know when ur callin it temple of mi’ lady
black is just the best color in standard right now
Always has been tbh
@@kunimitsune177 Not back when it wasnt
I came for the CGB publicity and stay for the games
Woah this is the earliest i’ve ever been, is this what it feels like to be mono red going first?
As an orzov enjoyer, yes it really does feel like that.
The games can get grindy, but this deck is fun to play.
thanks for the great video!
Love this deck.
16:20 thats my favorite band lol
Looks fun can I download in App Store?
Ad read so good I look down for the skip button but don't get mad when there isn't one.
"Aww i blew it, i blew it sooo haaard!" 😏
beside mono red, it seems u/b is the next best deck for like 5 years
Discard… destroyed!
Instantly duressed my Jace
Cgb please tell me if this is repost or I'm gonna lose my mind. I definitely watched this video 100 percent. Was it member only video before or something?😅😅
I do believe all standard videos are shown to members first a day earlier.
@WrightJustice1991 the problem is youtube didn't show this to me as watched video. So I guess he re-uploaded. that's is the only possible explanation 😁
Ad needed reworking, it wasn’t supposed to be early accessed
@@covertgoblue thank you 😁👍🏻 for a moment I thought I am in dejavu loop or something hahaha
That rug tied the room together did it not
I dont know why arena giving me a set of Kiora so maybe i was destined to make this deck lol
I’m done playing standard. Game after game against mono red until mythic for some packs at the end of the month.. no thanks
Please make a naughty language channel for your midnight runs!
Maze Mind Tome is a totally new card. Never printed that card beefor
First match is crazy top deck safe lol
these games were awesome
That innkeeper deck is obnoxious, would definitely make me salty
Game 1. Clowned.
I dont know why there was a lot of times that I milled my opponent with Jace's -2 when they already have more than 12 cards in graveyard (at the same time even my graveyard had 12 or more cards) but I still draw only one. is that a bug? please anyone can explain that?
Twenty cards, not twelve.
I really love your vids, I hope we soon meet on ladder buddy :´)
Would be great to play against another blue enjoyer :D
i swear this is the 12th time you've made this video.
CovertGoMad
What are you doing aside from mtg?
I agree.
I play calamities wake, so you have no graveyard to go to. So you can concede now. bye
Me too
Getting plowed by the top deck of a deck with like 20 mythic and 32 rares is ok I guess
is this deck actually good tho
All your first games are about you losing... what the heck 😢
wow 😮
Ugh...i hate mill. I would rather face red/boros aggro than combo mill, and thats saying somthing lol
We can handle naughty language just add a warning for the younger audience
hey cgb, could i interest you in a spicy interaction that i havent seen anyone else playing?
If you flicker a prototype card, does it change into the non-prototype version of itself?
Yep, goes to full power
Wth i destroyed that deck with mono red
AGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
!
.
how come the ad on this show doesnt bother me, but the MTG sponsored ad from the Foundations "worst possible commander show" was unbearable watch?
Sheoldred deck zzzzz
