The One Ring is an interesting card. Outside of the most aggressive mono-red decks, it's hard to imagine any situation where I'd be disappointed to draw it. At worst, it fogs for a turn and draws 3 cards for one life.
Palantir of Orthanc is pretty good too... Scry 2 + draw very turn for free - but the opponent has the option of risking taking damage but denying the draw -- but the risk keeps getting higher so it will become a draw engine. Now quite as strong as the one ring - but does not cause life loss (but can cause self mill - but in lot of black green decks that's an upside - yes?)
I live in the same time zone as him. He uploaded at 1 pm, then 2 pm, and now suddenly started uploading at noon for some reason. For the last year or 2 he’s been alternating between 1 and 2pm for daylight savings time, so idk what the noon uploads are about.
While I agree that building Shelob and just adding every spider on arena isn’t the best idea, Shelob and no spiders means you might as well be playing yargle and multani or another generic GB commander, but I have found that Shelob with ramp and equipment that give hexproof can make spiders that the opponent cant attack around really good youd be suprised how many decks are stopped by death touch reachers, add removal and bite effects and it I think it can work. So that’s how I built Shelob for spider tribal. Love Cgb just my idea for the commander especially as I think his deck would be a lot better if yargle and multani was the commander to really abuse that high power
HB has more creative leeway for creators than standard, but it still means most tribal decks get absolutely destroyed and viewers wouldn't really enjoy watching that, so it makes sense to build decks with mostly similar shells that work. Kind of a shame if you do, shame if you don't situation. Still, i appreciate your efforts CGB! Thanks for all the HB love!
@@matteomariani7070 I feel like the power difference between any commanders that arent tier 0 are actually kind of negligible but that is mostly because as previously stated everyone is playing the same shell
21:45 Against narset there could've been a point where trying to close the game with +3+3 all creatures could ve been better, but I'm all in for greedy draw eight
@@michakrypczyk3517 I'm sorry, I adjusted the comment to make it clear: 21:45 i don't think we're talking about the same situation. I see two Monks the arachnid and the orc
Oh I wonder if cgb is going to build a spider commander with spiders in the deck.... of course not, it's the same 95 cards with maybe 5 new ones. Unnecessary toxicity asside, glad to see you are enjoying HB so much, just hoped for more variety in deckbuilding
I agree you probably don't want to fill the deck with bad spiders just to max out the Shelob value but I think a couple of changelings or birthing boughs and/or maskwood nexus would be fun.
Vinesoul Spider is a perfectly reasonable 2-drop that plays well with Delirium stuff and potentially some ramp stuff if you can pull the land out of your graveyard.
Going spider tribal with shelob works because you basically create a wall of attack and I get tokens of your cards to play against you. Even a little 1/1 will kill and copy their biggest baddest creature. They won't attack you as long as they can't remove shelob. Then you add in a bunch of fight spells and pick which of their creatures you want tokens of while swinging with shelob. Add roaming throne and other token doubters and your making multiple copies of each of those tokens
CGB: "so this demon met this spider and they had a baby" Dude you gotta nerd out and read Shelobs origin story, cause is super cool. its in the Silmarillion and in the Book of lost tales (maybe Vol2)
Everytime i find a video with "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN GET READY FOR COMBOS, TRIGGERS.......MONKEEEEEYYYYYY, THIS IS, HISTORIC BRAWL" my soul squeals of joy.
I'm so confused as to why anyone still plays MTG at this point. Removal is absolutely out of control. I can't stick a single threat. The first turn I play a 3 drop or greater and it isn't immediately removed, they just scoop anyway. Why do these cards even have text anymore?
I wish the video tag still said “Brawl”. I watch you for creative yet competitive builds and play. Brawl is neither so not my cuppa tea. Please tag the videos accodingly so my time isn’t wasted. Thanks.
Is it at all possible to have 1 channel for historic brawl and another for standard? Want to stay subbed but keep clicking into these historic whale videos by accident
You can't play Magic Arena.. continuous stress.. Many times in games either the mana doesn't come out or some card doesn't come out.. it seems made on purpose to lead you to use gems to change decks and therefore to make purchases.. Magic is better Gathering less stress and weird things don't happen..

What's your deck build for shelob
38:29 a cardback of a dragon was what cgb saw. it lasted approximately 7-8 frames.
I genuinely love how in the first game CGB uses return of the wildspeaker to draw 8 instead of going for lethal! That's the spirit!

Yeah, at that point you may as well play a better commander in the same color

Haha I feel like people miss the hidden surprise overrun. But it’s not always the most fun to watch 😂 I kept saying, ok just untap and attack 🤣
The problem was bonus is for non-humans, while two shapeshifters there were humans too :/

I don't follow this dude much, but I noticed this same thing. What's the point of doing a theme deck with like... 5 cards on theme?
I agree you probably don't want to fill the deck with bad spiders just to max out the Shelob value but I think a couple of changelings or birthing boughs and/or maskwood nexus would be fun.
So... I have to wonder if fitting in Maskwood Nexus somewhere in this deck would be good.
Probably not. I don’t see creatures in here you’d actively want to be spiders. It’s not like this deck proactively contests creatures on board either.
Vinesoul Spider is a perfectly reasonable 2-drop that plays well with Delirium stuff and potentially some ramp stuff if you can pull the land out of your graveyard.
21:34 Im surprised that you didnt Return of the Wildspeaker pseudo Overrun even at rist of a counter to force the opponent to block.
Could you do a Historic Brawl Deck for The Watcher in the Water? Thank you!
Been dying to build this deck! Haven't even watched yet. Cheers CGB. Keep it up cool cat

The image of a giant spider demon piloting a mech is an amusing one, ngl

So sad the meta is removal and only removal cuz an actual spider tribal looks fun, this is solid too tho.

Why is it that 99% of CGB's historic Brawl decks are just goodstuff in whatever colors he's playing? "Spider deck" LOL.
Pretty sure it’s so he wins. Could be wrong though
Cool commander and fun deck! Enjoyed the gameplay a lot.
That’s a stellar opening CGB

Brawl looks so fun and idk why its so intimidating for me to try to get into
It was intimidating for me at first too, but it's so worth it!
Yargle and multan would be a fun commander for this deck.
I'm moved to see this so early

@@teusz16 you're welcome 🙂
thanks for more brawl cgb
Got a question, if I try to destroy my shelob with one of my spiders, can i get shelob as a food token?
Man I miss Lolth so much
cgb- little hint callofthering+sheoldred=? btw CotR is stackable
A spider literally crawled out from behind my phone as I'm watching this! Lol! Guess he just wanted to see some CGB spider action.
shelob commander but no spider in the deck?? ok its a good one but... why?
Why didn’t you cut down the Imoti and fight the Kogla instead of fighting the Imoti?
Soooo the one ring just goes in every deck huh
Duh. It's ridiculously good.
Ishkanah nah nah ELMOS WORLD
Nothing like another CGB tribal. lol
Play Maskwood Nexus?
