Nice deck but i feel more fun with 2-3 sparkdoubles for a bunch of Gideons or Heliods on the field that survive and help other creatures survive in Gideon's case and allow you to Shatter freely while indestructible.
I hope you can make 50k before Desolatormtg. That guys channel is kind-of a bummer. Lots of complaining, really negative, like all the time. He calls for bans everytime there's a new deck he hates.
JR Vaughn Before this gets deleted by reddit admins, this asshole took it completely out of context. First of all, the idiot thinks it was a marionette deck. It wasn't. That card's not even in the deck. He was running counterspell draw, this was approximately turn 25, every single creature and spell I cast was countered or removed up until that point and this dumbass who copied his deck from MTG Salvation or Goldfish used one of his last copies of negate to counter a Revel in Riches when he had 0 creatures on the field and I had 0 treasures in play, thus the "this spell does literally nothing" and he should have let it resolve. I love it when people copy a deck and have no idea how to run it or play MTG. I was just throwing it out because I had 5 mana and it was the only card left in my hand and the game was already over anyway. So on the way out I let him know what an idiot he was for countering a spell that does nothing in the current board state. NOBODY wants to watch a recording of a game where I cast something and he counters it or removes it x30 turns. That's idiotic. I should have left the game the second I saw what he was running. This was the 5th attempt at getting a recording of something resembling watchable MTG gameplay and 5 people in a row were playing Karn draw control loop or free cast torrential graveyard resurrection control or approach control loop. So yeah, I was pissed and he was an asshole for playing this. He's one of those idiots who doesn't care about the other players one bit, it's all about winning. So running 35 control spells seems reasonable because NOTHING matters but winning. Thanks for not showing the board state with library counts or the full log, asshole. Enjoy your temporary ban from reddit.
CGB Yesterday: Mana intensive card that doesn't affect the board? I've written an essay about why Dawn of Hope is a bad card. CGB Today: Dawn of Hope is a real strong card in this deck.
Cgb, you are absolutely my favorite magic youtuber. I don't give a flip about your misplays. I've learned alot from your vids and they've helped me with my depression. Your vids really help on my rough days. Thanks for all your hard work and all you do.
Yes! Thank you for mentioning the clicking shortcut for attacking and blocking! I am amazed that so few streamers know about it or just don't like to use it. Also, cool deck. I like dovin so it's nice to see him get some love
"Your go. Your go. Your go. Your go." I love it when someone spams that especially when they themselves take their time too. Like seriously dude? Ok, be special. As my boy Teferi said "let's slow this down."
I find slow players turn me into a roper by accident cos I get bored and walk away from my computer to do other things while waiting for them. Make a cup of tea. Play some fetch with the dog. Read a book. Pop back and see that "OH MY GOD HE MADE A DECISION". 2 seconds later and I'm back to waiting for them. It's only when I can see they're there as stuff is getting highlighted on and off that I get annoyed at them taking forever to decide and walk off and leave them to wait for me to come back. When it appears that they've had to go afk I don't get angry cos real life happens.
41:05 , you can put a counter on the enchantment "The Birth of Meletis" and gain 2 life.. :D 35 exactly ^^ and i didn't know it until you said it in this same video i thought it was only creatures! haha :P
Hey CGB! Something I would like to see in the description or mentioned in the intro if your videos would be "how many games did you win/lose during the making of this video". Since we only see the awesome and fun and entertaining wins, we never know how strong these "seemingly strong" decks actually are in the current meta. I do like the breakdown at the end, you gave it to us straight, specifically all the weaknesses it had. I love your content! Keep up the fun work!
I've played a lot of this deck pre-Theros! Except I had way more different planeswalkers like Kasmina and Narset in there and Time Wipe instead of Shatter/ECD. Ignite the Beacon I found also worked well here as well as Spark Doubles, because everyone loves double Teferi.
You coud have ulted the 2nd Ajani at 42:34. By reviving the land, gain 3 life with Ajani, put a counter on land, gain 4 life with lifelink, put a land card and drop 2nd Ajani :)
Man some of your decks are sooooo original! Always liked you but since Mogwai went afk I took more time to appreciate how entertaining your channel is! :D
That's a fun deck! one question though! Why use Dovin, Grand Arbiter over Dovin, Hand of Control? Hand of control increases cost of a lot of spells people are casting nowadays and also is great for stopping creatures from doing damage and stalling enemies who love stacking tons of enchantments on 1 creature and trying to win that way. It is also easier to cast because you can use all white or all blue mana or a mix to cast it so it fits great in here. I guess the advantage of the arbiter is the flying threats he can create
at 6:50 - is there any particular reason you selected your mana manually when playing shatter the sky? not like you could do anything else that turn anyway so what does it matter which mana is left open? you aren't the first person I see doing this so what's up with that?
Eyy, just piloted this deck to 7-1 two times in a row, thanks for the list, it's actually pretty sweet. Dawn of Hope was actually... okay in some matchups?
The best part about Dovin is that people don't play him. That makes people assume he is going to do something crazy for your deck and they focus their efforts on killing him. I literally use him as bait in Bo1 and idiots will go through hell and back to kill him giving me a better chance to stick something dangerous.
Aww, punt. at 43:00, you should have skipped the draw, lifelinked up the manland, and recklessly swung in to go to 37. Then you could play the land and 3rd Ajani for the 0 ability.
Instead of Birth, Spark Double might be a better option. No it does not make a good blocker or fetch a plains but having 2 Ajanis or Teferis on the board might be better.
Salut Comment tu as fait pour atteindre le niveau de maîtrise 83? En faisait toutes les quêtes journalières je suis seulement level 70 Sinon bonne vidéo continue !
You missed the lethal against the mono black player but to be honest with the way they were emote spamming being salty, I think it was totally justified to give up lethal for the ajani ult just to rub salt into the wounds.
Didn't you have lethal against the simic flash player? At 36 life you could play your second Ajani through a quench and use his 0 ability. Then rek 'em
Hi! Folks. I believe there are really good players congregate here, and I want to improve my *[no fun allowed]* BO1 deck. 4 Shatter the sky 4 banishing light 2 Heliod's intervention 2 Cleansing Nova 2 essence capture 2 dovin's vito 4 absorb 4 sinister sabotage 3 omen of the sea 3 birth of meletis 2 chemistry insight 4 divine visitation (for maximum facepalm) 24 lands (include 4 castle vantress)
Hello its you , CGB i would marry you if i could carry you you are the epitome of my morning. i wake up Walk around my farm for 1 hour come and watch your content for 40 minutes and i am happy
You missed lethal! Hahaha Curse me all that you want, but you missed lethal at 28:00. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you gained life above 35. You could just play the other Ajani, ult, exile all the creatures and then go face. Or am I missing something there?
Wait... Stomp says damage can't be prevented!? I've never had that come up.... XD I'm not saying it means these cards are BAD, but I get frustrated sometimes when my saga leaves play and then I don't have devotion any more. XD So rude.
Hey, just wanted to comment here, alone from my isolated department in Amsterdam Been loving the videos!!. You've been a blast. Funny, I suspect intelligent AF and some better-than-you-smugness (with good reason too), which you dismantle by delightfully and consciously making a fool of yourself. I really enjoy that combination, I feel you've hit a nerve there for me :) (i think because i do the same) And yeah bro! Talk it up! Us extraverts shouldn't suppress that desire too much, though some amount probably ;') hahah. Keep it up man! Sending One and a Half meter elbow- high fives from my couch Oh, and one thing: Historic Brawl! you can use arenbrawl.net to direct challenge anyone for some historic brawl savory sweetness.
almost impossible to win against any deck meta or non-meta. It looks fun and I wish it would work, but this is purely card-spotting, nothing else. I guess you had to play around 20 games for one win :D

@@peper757 Thank you for the copypasta, good sir
@@JoeyDubsJR Spark double is good for Bo1 jank only.
>complains about people running dawn of hope because it's a bad card
>uses it in literally the next video
Never change, cgb ❤️
First thing in my mind "😱dawn of hope" 😂
He actually says in the ending that Dawn of Hope was useless. He said you could switch it out for something better.
CGB Yesterday: Mana intensive card that doesn't affect the board? I've written an essay about why Dawn of Hope is a bad card.
CGB Today: Dawn of Hope is a real strong card in this deck.
lol was just thinking the same thing... too funny
Exactly lol
He said it was mediocre in this video...?
@@thegreatowigimon2 In the fireside chat at the end he did, but in the beginning deck tech he said it was strong.
was about to say the same thing 😄👍🏽

Red Mage died as they lived: not doing math XD
“It’s slow, but what can ya do”
Mulligan. You can mulligan
Never!
I really like your thought process; examining each possible move, giving each the attention it deserves.
Oh, you could have blown away their board before 43:00, lifelink on the district and play the other ajani
I am absolutely loving the search bar at the beginning of these videos, keep it up lmao
That mono black player was so salty, lol.
So glad you killed that emote spammer. Only ropers are worse.
I find slow players turn me into a roper by accident cos I get bored and walk away from my computer to do other things while waiting for them.

27:40 Just checking, is there a reason you did not just play the second planeswalker from your hand and 0 ult it?
Presumably Counterspell
Counterspell
28:00 you could have played another ajani strength, then used his exile ability to swing game
15:30 Classic Line "You are true Magician"
You coud have ulted the 2nd Ajani at 42:34. By reviving the land, gain 3 life with Ajani, put a counter on land, gain 4 life with lifelink, put a land card and drop 2nd Ajani :)

I think Teferi's Time Twist would be great in this deck to reset walker loyalty protect them and bounce Elspeth conquers death
I love this. I love a different spin on a common idea.
Random question but what chair do you have and would you recommend it? @CovertGoBlue
Interesting take on the lifegain archetype.
Did you try shadow spear in here 1 or 2?
at 6:50 - is there any particular reason you selected your mana manually when playing shatter the sky? not like you could do anything else that turn anyway so what does it matter which mana is left open?
you aren't the first person I see doing this so what's up with that?
at 27:55 you could have played a second ajani, and use its ultimate. If your opponent counters, you do not lose the one you already have.
Birth of strenght of pride city:
Chapter1: Fetch an Ajani Planeswalker
Chapter2: Get a Pridemate
Chapter3: Gain 2 life
Eyy, just piloted this deck to 7-1 two times in a row, thanks for the list, it's actually pretty sweet.
Dawn of Hope was actually... okay in some matchups?

I literally use him as bait in Bo1 and idiots will go through hell and back to kill him giving me a better chance to stick something dangerous.
Superfriends is just too expensive 😂😂😂
Couldnt you build an esper superfriends pridemates deck?
Great deck, saw me from Platinum 1 to Platinum 4 in all due speed :D Damned red decks get out of hand way too fast.
No trawler?
Five Color Hand Hate just played Chandra and Nicol Bolas on the same turn.
Aww, punt. at 43:00, you should have skipped the draw, lifelinked up the manland, and recklessly swung in to go to 37. Then you could play the land and 3rd Ajani for the 0 ability.
Cool! Orzhov version should be good as well.
Green Blue, Green Blue,
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when the pridemates come for you?
Instead of Birth, Spark Double might be a better option. No it does not make a good blocker or fetch a plains but having 2 Ajanis or Teferis on the board might be better.
11:09 -- I did NOT know you could do that

You missed the lethal against the mono black player but to be honest with the way they were emote spamming being salty, I think it was totally justified to give up lethal for the ajani ult just to rub salt into the wounds.
kinda seems to be Azorious' take on Esper Hero. I like it
Gotta say the into on 2x speed realy slaps
Life Gain? Dawn of Hope? CGB, are you all right? :-) (I'm missing two Ajanis, put in two Archon of Sun's Grace instead, should be decent ...)
What a surprisingly good deck
OMG. This is my new favorite deck (that I cannot build).
Gideon + Pridemate + Shatter
MADE ME SMILE.
I don't see another comment on it so, anyone else notice the "a better Elspeth" at the beginning? Made me laugh.
You could have played the second Ajani and activate the ultimate on the same turn.
The land jumps for us🥰
"Mr. Emotes" :P
"I think this turns on Heliod.
Oh yeah..........Oooh yeah!"
Probably just omen of the sea or one of the other omens instead of dawn of hope, ye?
Dawn of hope is one of my favorite. In commander its so much
Didn't you have lethal against the simic flash player? At 36 life you could play your second Ajani through a quench and use his 0 ability. Then rek 'em
