More than slightly. I was like dude you are playing with fire there just cause you want more cards. Could have compromised too is the worst part….didn’t have to exile the graveyard.
@@haoboyang1996 A few months, I did a beautiful play against an Enchantment deck that neutralized their entire board presence and was about to give me a massive win. Turns out my opponent had boseiju in hand which I could not counter which reversed the play and I died next turn. Channel lands win a lot of games. :)
I usually play control or combo but had to stop playing Arena a while ago because of people roping. every. single. turn. and salty roping. I really don't mind long games, as long as people PLAY the game! Just couldn't handle being roped to death lol, guess I have at least THAT to work on myself. Love the content, sir. Keep 'em coming!
@CGB, funny enough I was the one building the 11 counterspells deck that Sonio played against and then replicated in his video, and I did that based on a CGB deck from a while ago 🤣🤣
They really need to create a que for all of the ropers. They can just sit there and rope each other while the rest of us play magic in the regular que.
Oh look, it's Mono Blues Slightly less annoying Older Brother Azorious Control. Lol, I hate playing against it with my Esper Tokens deck but at this point, it's if you can't beat em, join em. Great vid CGB
It's always funny to me how CGB takes it as a personal slight against his honor, Magic itself and common human decency when aggro beats control. Love the videos as always though :)
If you run a hypergeometric calculator, you need 13 1- or 2-drops to consistently (91%+) cast something by turn 2 (not accounting for Bo1 shuffler), whereas this deck was running 11. A deck that has a critical turn of 4 also wants some of those to help find land (draw/loot/scry/siphon insight/etc.). Those were a bigger issue than the land count; 27 lands + Celestus is already quite a lot. TL;DR: think Xerox theory before adding too many lands.
This reminds me of a deck a friend of mine had. We called it “Mother May I”. Counters and removal. The only win con was your lack of patience. We hated him. We loved him. As long as you kept at it eventually he’d have nothing. Eventually. At 23:19 a mono red player was born.
“So whats your wincon exactly” “Oh my wincon is decking you out” “Uhm… do you have anything to mill me then?” “Nope! I just fetch clear the mind from my sideboard at some point and shuffle my graveyard into my library.” “And then you wait.” “And then I wait.” “This is disgusting and I hate you for it”.
I mean you do. Maybe you do it less but you still do. Through the sheer amount of games played on arena it feels like you're getting screwed a lot more often than you are in paper.
If you think you heard a high-pitched sound (maybe a wail) in the distance, that was John Williams hearing CGB trying to sign/hum Vader's theme. I'm still waiting to see if my spinal fluids return to equilibrium.
I feel like we need one of your late night quieter vids after this. It was like CGB got bit by a radioactive CGB with maximum ego, irritation, and screech activated lol it was amusing but I also once had eardrums :D
Question: using Jace sleeves or a Jace avatar and playing aggro is wrong, or is it the ultimate Jace move, by playing mind games and tricking the oponent?
Back from a years break playing. Got 9 counters in my deck. Took some out last week in favour of some removals. Must have had like 15 before... its fun though to counter everything. Keeping an empty board.
Kabewolf ropping from turn one is exactly the type of player that destroy the experience of mtg arena. And you always get one of those at least once a session for some reason
30:30 Literally all you have to do is fucking farewell. It's not rocket science, you can even leave your fucking incubate token on the battlefield! All you have to do is use the fucking sweeper in your hand to win the game!
That first game warmed my soul to the core. Nothing on Arena is more satisfying than watching a UW durdle you-can't-do-nothing deck get run over 1-2-3.
Some people can't read cards. I play Historic ranked with 4x Archon of Absolution plus copy effects in my deck. My opponent wonders why they can't attack with all with no mana available.
Not going to lie, the best game was the one you lost to the Sultai unearth deck. The oppressive "fun police" deck versus de jank. May be you can try the deck the other guy was playing, try to meld titania (I know you don't have a good history with melding if your Misha meld deck is a reference but it would be cool if you got it).
33:50 The greed got ya. I was screaming at my screen for you to Farewell but I guess you didnt hear me... Also, the game against KabeWolf was so ANNOYING to watch.
I don't think people who rope their opponent realize that there's no better feeling in MTGA than making someone so salty that they rope to death. Bonus points if they're playing the most stock standard deck in the format.
Palpatine opitomises MTGA's speedrun to the dark side in the modern meta. Single card board wipes, win con lands with infinite value, counterspells and decks with no creatures. I miss the time you both built up your board and arm wrestled, with creature battles won or lost by +1's from instants.
I think the enchantment player game later on was jest seeing the log in screen from game crashes. That's the only reason the attack rope came out like that. Surely they didn't just go snail when they had freedom to play and sonic during the control section.
The Branduin River flows through the Shire. They cross it at Buckleberry Ferry in the book. In the hobbit tongue, it is counted as the Brandywine river. Also, where the One Ring was found by Smeagol, I believe.
Well... this is the arena... the amount of the lands in the deck doesn't matter at all. You'll have as many lands as the arena allows you to have. The only way to be sure that you won't have mana probles is to not win too much games in a row. Your win ratio needs to be corrected and it seems that the lands are the best way to do it. Nothing can save you from the dreaded win ratio correction. The petty thing is that the amount of the lands in the deck doesn't matter at all... I tried a deck with 30+ lands... still draw only 2 in first 20 cards several games in a row if I go over 65% win rate... I tried low curve mono red with only 14 lands.. still draw 10 of them in first 20 cards when my win rate goes over 65%... there is no escape... And if my win ration goes lower then 45% then I'm strting to play against oponent that have only 2 lands or that are with empty hand and draw only lands... but I don't fill like a winner. It seems that only 2-3 games out of 10 are maybe real, the rest are decided by the win ration algorithm...

same thing.
We need more covert go sidious! 🤣
make it a short plz so i can send it to ppl
I can't lie... you getting sent after admitting to being greedy on not casting the Farewell was ever-so slightly satisfying
It was. :-D

Yes, yes, punish that unreasonable greed, so stupid lose
Funny thing is that I always thought 12 counters was the bare minimum for a control deck
😂
I know felt a little thin given how it feels to play against them.
I remember when 12 board wipes was a normal thing in standard.

The CGB play by play commentary was pure gold. Haven't laughed like that in a while. Love seeing you have fun with Magic again!

Always fun to see another 29 land deck. Arena gaming at its finest 👨🍳😙
When he said 27 lands means a land drop each turn I laughed. Not in arena.
They really need to create a que for all of the ropers. They can just sit there and rope each other while the rest of us play magic in the regular que.
So great watching CGB having a grand old time with Azorius control!
You know you’re fired up about a deck when you hit an hour standard video😂
And the 1 hour video probably still has fewer games in it.
@@olafthemoose9413i used go watch his longer videos 100%. I love longer videos, if he uploaded 2hrs a day… i think I would still watch all of them!
Its nice watching him have fun.
Legend has it that KabeWolf is still out there somewhere, roping another opponent.
Oh look, it's Mono Blues Slightly less annoying Older Brother Azorious Control. Lol, I hate playing against it with my Esper Tokens deck but at this point, it's if you can't beat em, join em.
Great vid CGB
33:36 Full Greed on display.
Title: They can't handle it!
First opponent: Wanna see how I make you cry?
It's always funny to me how CGB takes it as a personal slight against his honor, Magic itself and common human decency when aggro beats control. Love the videos as always though :)
I recommend having a book on hand for rope moments to help decrease the frustration.
The palpatine impression is fire. I’m cackling. Love this content!!!
Maniacal Emperor CGB is my favorite CGB
One of the funniest CGB performances I’ve seen in awhile lmao
@2:20 I'm actually dying laughing.
42:48: "I just wanted to play fun magic..."
The decklist:
And the award for worst emperor Palpatine impersonation goes to.
10/10 Emperor impression. Would “Dew it” again.

Loved it. Thanks CGB.
24:00 i wonder if opponents will ever realize how much satisfaction you get out of being roped.
楽しそうで何よりです。
気持ち良さそうでしたが赤単相手の土地事故は辛そうでしたね...。
funny how in paper magic you never struggle to hit a 3rd land in a 27 land deck. but on arena it happens all of the time.
I mean you do. Maybe you do it less but you still do. Through the sheer amount of games played on arena it feels like you're getting screwed a lot more often than you are in paper.
"The counterspells will be quite operational when your spells arrive"
If you think you heard a high-pitched sound (maybe a wail) in the distance, that was John Williams hearing CGB trying to sign/hum Vader's theme. I'm still waiting to see if my spinal fluids return to equilibrium.
58:06 and on, was só satisfying

I’m guessing first the enchantment deck roping guy was lagging in the first part of the game. Probably downloading anime or something.
Question: using Jace sleeves or a Jace avatar and playing aggro is wrong, or is it the ultimate Jace move, by playing mind games and tricking the oponent?
11 counterspells is almost as many as I use in my aggro decks
41:32 CGB coringando kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I love the emperor palpatine lines! CGB my anti-hero!
Countering spells -> 😜
Getting your spells countered -> 🤬
34:19 hahah too greedy you're punished :P ^^
They should change his name to Calix, Guided by Topdecks
27 so we don't miss a land drop. Gets mana screwed every game xD
Back from a years break playing. Got 9 counters in my deck. Took some out last week in favour of some removals. Must have had like 15 before... its fun though to counter everything. Keeping an empty board.
I can't believe how frequently I get mana screwed playing against mono-red. It's time Wotc rectified it. Truly disheartened and sick of it
KabeWolf probably got to plat 3 fast by games conceded by impatient opponents.

Bro not farewelling that graveyard deck was gigacringe. What in the world were you thinking????
It is comforting to see I'm not the only one still stuck at Platinum T4
Man, that LotR song plays on such a short loop.
monored 18 lands 5 land by turn 5
this deck 27 lands stuck at 3 drops by turn 6
Its literally impossible, but arena make it look like its normal...
Loved the deck. Could use more counterspells, though
So did you Google Buehler blue before posting that 11 counters is a lot?
Why not 28 lands and 10 counters? I don't think the shuffler would make that much mana screw difference of 28 to 29
Game one was hot 🔥
Do a deck around Ajani every version and mass token creation
That first game warmed my soul to the core. Nothing on Arena is more satisfying than watching a UW durdle you-can't-do-nothing deck get run over 1-2-3.

Not using the wandering emperor avatar was the problem
8:16 kinda did this one to yourself man 😂😅
very nice vid, lad
This is just going to get worse unless we just get reprints of counters already in standard for the next year.
I'm a big fan of Ertai's Scorn. The cost reduction matters alot. Combine it with Haughty Djinn and you get a consistent 1 mana counter anything.
It's maybe the only deck where it matters, and it's just because of the djinn
33:50 The greed got ya. I was screaming at my screen for you to Farewell but I guess you didnt hear me...
Also, the game against KabeWolf was so ANNOYING to watch.

Soul Partition exiles a card and if its an opponents card they can replay it but it costs 2 extra mana thats why it cost 3
41:42 LMAO
Bring the pain!!!!
love the pile, but devious cover up should be here too. Although with it in, it's gonna win less games
