I had the best game I've ever had in magic playing this deck last night. It was in plat and the opponent was playing a Teferi, Narset, Ashiok Esper control deck with lots of removal. The game went to the wire. The opponent had an answer to everything I did, but I was able to keep cycling two Fae of Wishes with my one remaining Fires and answer his threats too. I was down to my last 10 cards and the game had been going for at least 30 minutes. I decided to pull Jace out of the sideboard because my opponent was banking on me getting milled. I'm pretty sure though that he was holding an answer to Jace in his hand and was keeping mana open for it. It looked like I was going to put Jace down last second only for him to remove it or counter it immediately. I used this to my advantage though. I instead decided to go full on aggro with my remaining few turns. Cycling the Fae meant I was burning through cards fast. I put down Garruk and started making wolves. The opponent ignored these as he had more than enough health to deal with the 2/2s. With only 3 cards left and him now with Dream Trawler on the board, I pulled out Chandra, burnt one of the wolves, ulted Garruk and trampled his ass down with about 6 wolves. I think he was so focused on Jace that he hadn't been worried about Garruk. I was absolutely buzzing after the game. Best game I've played.
With triple black in his casting cost, and with the rest of the deck as Jeskai? He’s much better in the sideboard where you can effectively guarantee that if you Granted for him you can immediately cast him off the same fires.
Don’t know if it’d help, but having karns bastion as a mana dump has helped me out when I tried it. It works especially well to get some more value out of the narsets
I always like seeing other peoples variations of Superfriends. It gives a window into which planeswalkers are in your own personal Avengers/JLA/A-team.
True Love's Kiss, although overall a weak card, is great for a Fires wishboard. Sure it costs 4 mana to exile an artifact or enchantment, but (if you have Fires down) your 4 mana is covered, and you get to draw a card as a bonus...
Casualties of war is always going to be better with fires as long as you have 6 mana, seeing as how it kills BOTH, AND creature, and PW, and land. If you turn 4 fires, fae, the soonest you can kill anything with the kiss would be turn 5, so it's going to be better to wait 1 more turn to CoW in 99% of situations.
This is a great version of the deck, I see your having fun with planeswalkers. I personally run a similar version with 2 Karn, 1 Kashmina, 1 Scion, 1 saheeli, and a few other changes. Consistently goes 7-2 in Bo1 Standard events.
I just love your crazy decks! Also you make a good job explaining and talking about magic. That's good content. I always read your articles too. It has helped me understand better this game...
You know it's funny what you said about mindset and how it affects your play. Any time I'm too tired, or it's obvious I'm just not quite up to it, I restrict myself to casual play. I've found it really helps me in limited and ranked if I'm willing to just step away when it's clear I'm not where I need to be.
I p layed that in the new event where you can play any card. First I played 2 wins with my mono-red, then I thought, why not play something cool with cards that I don't own. Was so fun!
Played against this deck before I saw the video this weekend. At first was like "ANOTHER fires deck? At least it isn't mono red." Got in my groove, was about to start smashing when they drop FOUR Planeswalkers on two turns and proceeded to smash my face repeatedly to dust. My first thought was "who the hell runs this in Bo1?" Now I know it was a CGB brew. Thanks for inspiring my suffering CGB
well, 4 of the 16 decks brought to world champions were jeskai fires, 1 took 3rd, another took 2nd, so... :P ( of course these were cavalier builds not superfriends, but you just said jeskai fires :D )
Playing this deck vs rdw usually goes like this: they play their threat turn 1, one or two more turn 2, anax turn 3, you wipe the board (cause you either do that or die to embercleave), they play torbran turn 4 and win with the tokens. Scary.
If the line is to hope to let them die to their own blessing, I don't believe that is reasonable winning line on its own. I would need something else going on to push me in that direction.
To be honest I generally try to wear out Doom Foretold, my game would improve if I considered letting it pop more often, but my inner value fiend hates letting the opponent draw
@@covertgoblue every time I do nothing for a turn to let doom foretold pop, they dance the manse or play another the next turn and I die the turn after that
Hey CGB, what do you mean by "thining" the deck ? If I understand correctly Fabled Passage shuffles your whole deck so everything you scry to the bottom goes back into the deck, right ? So when do you decide what's a good and a bad time to use it ? And when is it good and bad thining ? I think I've heard you talk about this on 3-4 videos before but lately I've been confused.
He means using passage to fetch basic lands out of your deck and onto the battlefield, slightly decreasing the chance you will draw lands for the rest of the game
Not CGB, but: by "thinning" the deck, he means removing cards from it that he doesn't want to draw. In most cases, what he doesn't want to draw is land. Fabled Passage takes a land out of your deck, so generally it should "thin" your deck in that sense. But if you've scryed lands to the bottom of your deck, then when Fabled Passage cracks, it will shuffle your deck, and put those lands from the bottom back where you can draw them. So if you have one land at the bottom, Fabled Passage neither improves your draws nor makes them worse, because it takes one land out and puts another land back in. And if you have two lands, like in this video, it makes your draws worse, because while it does take out one land, it puts two more back in to your deck.
Eeeew I can't wait for War of the Spark to rotate ^^" It's kind sad to see planeswalkers have been so obnoxious that you got two opponent in a row that just left in the middle of the game after you showed you were playing Teferi...
I hate tefari with a passion. The 3 mana planeswalker is broken but just broken enough that it doesn't get banned but basically gives control players such a huge advantage that they consistently win vs other decks. Any card that replaces itself, places your opponent a turn behind and eliminates the ability to respond to stack shouldn't exist for 3 mana.
Hey CGB- I’m wondering if you’ve given thought to having 3 fires maindecked and 1 in the wishboard for fae. That way you have virtually 7 copies and will get to it sooner. If not, what makes you choose to main all 4?
I tried the 3 and 1 for a bit, but found that if I ever needed to use fae to fetch fires on turn 4 I was dead by turn 5, or too far behind to catch up. You really need to be able to turn 4 fires + sweeper or blocker. turn 4 fires + answer, turn 5 answer + answer >>> turn 4 fae, turn 5 fire + answer.
When you said 1/1s aren't that good I immediately wondered if a normal human is a 1/1. Like in DnD 10 is supposed to represent average intelligence, charisma, etc. What is that in MtG stats I wonder.
Superfriends is always fun, with fire it is super fun. But the player is so long to play.... Cant watch more sorry. Somme time opp surr with same reaction...

I just started playing, and I watch this and I'm like, Damn, why does he have all these good cards?
@@bennywenny4496 Be careful. Magic can be a bit of a money sink if you let it.
The emotional roller coast at the end there when CGB goes "And then we play the fires" O_O
haha, same! heart definitely skipped a beat!
50:22 You just about gave me a heart attack CGB!!!
I just have a hard time seeing a superfriends deck and no Bolas in the main deck.

How would you make this deck with today's current ban list in mind

Got in my groove, was about to start smashing when they drop FOUR Planeswalkers on two turns and proceeded to smash my face repeatedly to dust.

I was actually just wondering if Jeskai Fires still worked in the current meta. Apparently it does. That’s so....juicy...
well, 4 of the 16 decks brought to world champions were jeskai fires, 1 took 3rd, another took 2nd, so... :P ( of course these were cavalier builds not superfriends, but you just said jeskai fires :D )
Superfriends: the deck that's fun to play with, yet a nightmare to play against.
Love it... I am playing a version with Bolas. I just love superfriends.
Daniel Lotridge has always intrigued me with different brews. I use include 2 Karn, scion, saheeli and kashmina. Plus an outlaws merriment.
Five colors, Fires & Superfriends in one deck? Congrats, you've reached the pinnacle of degeneracy.
Playing this deck vs rdw usually goes like this: they play their threat turn 1, one or two more turn 2, anax turn 3, you wipe the board (cause you either do that or die to embercleave), they play torbran turn 4 and win with the tokens. Scary.
Ive been playing somthing similar thats been doing really good in ranked!
46:30 you could've used Ashiok to bounce Anax and force him to exile, and then used clarion next turn
nvm, didn't see you didn't have a red source. But if you forced Anax's exile, you'd still be able to cast Sarkhan and -3 to guard yourself
Every time I see an overplayed card like teferi it makes me want to play some kind of oppressive unmoored ego counterspell deck.
That last match had me cheering!
These games were juicy.
@ 21:30 -- any reason to not just scry with your omen so that the Doom Foretold pops and they have to keep their Treacherous Blessing on the field?
If the line is to hope to let them die to their own blessing, I don't believe that is reasonable winning line on its own. I would need something else going on to push me in that direction.
