I really like the art of that cycle of lands the Anchorage is from. Islands in the shape of a bird, Paddocks in the shape of a llama, a mountain in the shape of a dinosaur, etc.
Unfortunately, wotc massively focused on legends instead of planeswalkers cause "cough cough" commander format so these card are here to stay despite most being garbage for standard. At least with the channel lands rotating the archetype is gonna fade cause no more endless value.
The most fun I ever had playing UW control was back around RTR. I my win condition in the main was a single elixir of immortality and my opponent naturally decking due to draw steps.
43:37 CGB, game orders virtue and announcement triggers the wrong way after the 8gb update. I did report the bug. Give it a vote guys and perhaps wotc fix it before rotation lol
I've had enough triggers ordered in unwanted ways (my most played deck is shrines in Brawl, which has a lot of triggers, so this isn't really the devs' fault), so I always keep manual triggers on. Once you get used to it, you don't want to turn that setting off, ever.
@@therealax6 I use manual triggers since arena came up and i can assure you that before that 8gb update, arena game client ordered the triggers to provide the best outcome possible, which is, wedding token enters the battlefield and gets a counter from virtue. That was the default trigger order coded in the game whether you used auto or manual triggers. After the update the order was reversed. Client properly ordering those two triggers like it used to do is quality of life specially in mobile. I'm a veteran player and sometimes i forgot to order them so imagine someone new to the game.
When. I first started I wanted to play green and white. I wanted them to be good so badly, but green alone wasn't and green and white didn't do great against much more. It made me sad. I wanted my elves and Lions and trees and nature to smash in like some sort of druid master. Instead swampy things killed me easily, and I didn't draw many cards.
I really enjoy the stuff you do with Rarran. I saw this video for the first time and decided to check out your channel and was disappointed that you only play Bo1. Why are you making competitive content for a casual format. This makes less sense than cEDH.
in these best of 1 decks, why not let yourself use the sideboard on what would be the "first" game in a best of 3 series? still all the same cards, but allows you to have a best of 1 version of that particular deck God knows these pro players would be swapping in their sideboard differently knowing that there's a 70% chance they face Monored and Boros
It really funny when snobbish control players bitch about how aggro players have to make decisions, while in fact aggro players have like 4 playable cards in hand, while control players tank each turn while having one playable card at most...
@@fastydave fighting Martians all over the solar system. Even if the WiFi was good (it isn’t) there’s little time to watch videos, the buggers don’t give us a break. But now I’m back on earth on my R&R for some decompression. I’m glad you’re enjoying the Martian free time I provide to watch CGB every day start to finish. It’s hard to keep them away from Terra, but no sacrifice is too big for our little blue marble. Oh and so be you seem like such a cool guy, next time you see an UFO, give me a call. I may bail you out. Oh unless you actually enjoy the anal probe. No judgment.
I'm pretty sure he said somewhere (might've been one of the collabs with Rarran) that the card is real. I do wonder if it's his, though. The card might've been supplied by the sponsor for the commercial.
@@therealax6 cool thanks I didn’t know he said it was real. I know he has one, he showed on social media, but you’re right, could be another one. Either way, wow!
Ok look I know you’re the one in best of one BUT - watching you play all the pro tour decks really makes me want to watch you play some best of 3 matches. I’d be really curious listening to your commentary about what to sideboard and why. Just a thought from a fan 🥹🖤

That's the best ultimate guard ad i have ever seen, love it
I always skip ads but not that one! Hilarious!
I'd watch a video of just the ad, to be honest.
So when is the mono black Chimil control video coming out?
46:19
"Let's hold this land for Rafine"
All the Rafines in exile: 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
I really like the art of that cycle of lands the Anchorage is from. Islands in the shape of a bird, Paddocks in the shape of a llama, a mountain in the shape of a dinosaur, etc.
Then Google elephant rock in Iceland.
I dont understand anything but i love this mans energy
you don't play magic?
@@crusaderforlife8250 I don't play Magic, but I found him through Rarran (a Hearthstone player).
@crusaderforlife8250 nope never got into it but it always seemed fun
Planned to say, “watched first 2 minutes, commented, you’re cool” but then HE PULLED ME BACK IN!!!
So hyped for Raffine.... to rotate. Even so i would watch esper midrange anytime over any legends deck.
I cant see legends decks anymore too. And this endless rafine Decks are annoying
And sheoldred.... and leyline binding...
Unfortunately, wotc massively focused on legends instead of planeswalkers cause "cough cough" commander format so these card are here to stay despite most being garbage for standard. At least with the channel lands rotating the archetype is gonna fade cause no more endless value.
That ultimate guard ad hurt my soul
This was a fun watch - I don't mind an old deck, there were a lot of interesting gameplay decisions explained.
The UG ad is perfect never gets old! Dont play paper but it still hits every time.
Man, I love the stamp, everything I was hoping for. Also great analysis, love the insight.
with these decks with sideboards - i’d say you should feel free to adjust it towards best of one using those cards
Absolutely. It makes no sense to not change the deck, the sideboard is part of it.
"They know this is a land but lets hold it for Raffene."
Deadly Coverup removed all the Raffene's turns ago. You slippin' bro.
The four words CGB never wants to see: "Spells can't be countered"
That ultimate guard ad made my day
I still have a lot of fun playing your variation on this with Tomik in it. So thanks again for that!
It IS impressive how much water a Mox can take!
I liked it when you "one-boarded" Bo3 decks, picking cards from those decks' sideboards and making your picks.
In another life cgb was a used car salesman with that ad
The most fun I ever had playing UW control was back around RTR. I my win condition in the main was a single elixir of immortality and my opponent naturally decking due to draw steps.
that was the best ad i've ever seen
Duelist of the Mind is nuts in the Standard Esper shell.
This will go great in my Proesper deck

As white players, we have long been used to it...

Ultimate Guard Katanas are honestly the best sleeves out there.
Their only competition is Dragon Guard
I know you get more views on the other stuff but I also had fun watching, these were some different matchups that make you really think.
CGB you should do a series where you make a free to play account, and explain how you would build your account up if you had just started playing now
Why would you scoop? He was on 6 life with Arena, so in six turns you win, unless he plays and draws Corrupt or Sheoldred...
You deserve one million dollars for that ad read.
Note for the editor: Let us see the cards! (especially if they're not often seen). For reference 35:25
Chimil. Tears of the Inner Sun.
Lets begin the rally for ConvertGoMesa podcast
that ad was great lol
Only question we should ask. Why has CGB not changed his youtube icon to Mesa Falcon.
Don't mean to sound boring, but Concealed Courtyard counts as a "new card" since it's currently playable at standard
Thanks for giving this deck a spin in BO1!
Is It me or all tempo decks are now combos? I love a good'ol tempo.
How is this different from your regular control decks?
Needs more mesa falcon.
How to know if its midrange?
Bro, idc what deck u play. Primo content
Signed mesa falcon tier for patreon for the rebranding? 🤔
No shot, you put water on a real mox saphire, ultimate guard is water proof? 😂❤
Membe when Raffine was new?
Blue is way too overpowered these days. I hope green gets some love at some point
When. I first started I wanted to play green and white. I wanted them to be good so badly, but green alone wasn't and green and white didn't do great against much more. It made me sad. I wanted my elves and Lions and trees and nature to smash in like some sort of druid master. Instead swampy things killed me easily, and I didn't draw many cards.
thats what happens when every color has insanely powerful creatures meanwhile green creatures "power" comes from being like +1+1 over the normal stat.
And they cost 2 or three mana more than they should
Day 8 of respectfully requesting cgb to make a magda the hoardmaster deck
I honestly don't think it best of 1s very well
God bless the control mages of the world!
I like Dimir version better. Lots of card draw and life gain.
I really enjoy the stuff you do with Rarran. I saw this video for the first time and decided to check out your channel and was disappointed that you only play Bo1. Why are you making competitive content for a casual format. This makes less sense than cEDH.

God knows these pro players would be swapping in their sideboard differently knowing that there's a 70% chance they face Monored and Boros
It really funny when snobbish control players bitch about how aggro players have to make decisions, while in fact aggro players have like 4 playable cards in hand, while control players tank each turn while having one playable card at most...
playing monored you dont even need braincells
!
A lot of the pro tour commentary was talking crap about this deck still being a thing, at least your enjoying yourself CGB
what a deck .. my god 😈
more of the same. such an exciting standard we've had for the last 2 years. Watch the videos for cgb, not for any interest in the gameplay anymore.
"Could anything be more snooze alert?" Uh, yeah UW control.
YAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWN...............
pepeW
First! no Questions!
It does not best of 1. It's got no power in actual best of 1.
honestly, fuck this game. it's just not worth playing anymore. boros, rdw, domain, just getting shit on from all sides with T1 netdecks. uninstalling.
Oh yay the same garbage crap we've been playing for years. Uninstalled the game for the umpteenth time last night.
Please tell me you used a proxy for the commerciall. I know you actually have a Max Sapphire. I know you trust your sponsor. But... come on man...

Your voice is hard to hear over the music.
Audio of the game is too loud and audio of your mic is too low
