Yes, to us portuguese speakers, this is good ol' daddy Nicol Balls. A fitting name for the card that makes me want to cry whenever I see it on the board!
Like me a Swedish speaker having problem with one of the mightiest in Marvel (Knull, Lord of all symbiotes) name straight up just meaning "Someone you shag" xD
Nicolas BALLS es my commander favorito, definitivamente. No comento mucho pero CGB dijo que comentara asi que lo tengo que hacer. La palabra en español de hoy es 'Profecia auto cumplida' Keep it up CGB!
Btw, as a portuguese speaker (brazillian, maybe the Portugal portuguese gets it different), "bolas" means balls in portuguese, and Shanna sounds like a "Xana" (our X sounds like your SH most of the time), which is a slang for v-gina (idk if omments can gert someone in trouble, so I'll try to be polite)
Man, every time I see Bolas I just want to know what happened to the dude from Legends that was just chilling in the library reading his books and where did he go so wrong? Was his sibling's fighting so bad that he had to go and become a multiverse dominating terror just to shut them up?
A fun little 2 card combo, having seen that Teferi HoD game, is Lotus Field and Strict Proctor. SP Counters the ETB of Lotus Field unless you choose to pay 2, so you just don't have to sac 2 lands and you still get the Lotus Field.
As a Sythis player, I've enjoyed farming Bolas in HB so when I saw you up against Sythis for the final game, I was actually really interested in seeing how you'd win. Sorry you got screwed though. Great video!
I played Bolas today before this video came out and out of my 10 games 8 were Kinnan, 6 of those games where on the draw The amount of times they had a counter for bolas was absurd, and having fatal push/bloodchief's thirst wasn't enough, since they just replay the commander with their endless mana True hell queue experience, Kinnan is definitely a deck on Arena
I don't interact here often, but since you mentioned the Brazilian community, here I am. Member of the cool kids club since when? M21, I guess. Will never forget that 40 minute Barrin game
Getting into arena and wanting to play historic either bolas or lord xander in historic brawl. What packs should I start getting to work on that? Not using a credit card so going to grind them out but... would like to know if anyone has insight on that. Appreciate it.
I love your content as much as Pleasentkenobi, Saffron Olive, Crim and a few other MTG content creators that I watch. But that last game against sithis, just made me so happy to see you lose against it, esp as a green/white player.
Sorin Imperious Bloodlord as a black white vamp commander is highly underrated imo, I love it so much because it gives all your creatures/planeswalkers lifelink on your turn, and -x to reanimate anything cmc x to the battlefield- especially w access to the vito/exquisite blood infinite life drain combo + multiple tutors, a commander that always lifelinks- alongside vampires that grow, draw cards, drain opponent, kill opponent's board off & reanimate each other is rly good. As long as you do your curve/nonland mana producers/accelerators and draw engines well/carefully (hard in orzhov sometimes) it's fun and often surprisingly resilient
Also in white black, my favorite tribe in there probably, is clerics - Elas Il Kor as the commander if u want a cheap Aggro drain focused start, Orah as the commander if wanting to ensure you can play your reanimate engine consistently from the start- pyre of heroes and horn of the herald help tutor up better and better clerics, things like blot out the sky or rabble rousing or an elenda dying can produce a ton of tokens to gain life (and if Vito's out that machine gun hurts them), then a meathook massacre resolving in a board full of ur creatures can become a machine gun for sure with elas guaranteeing the life drain when things die regardless of what else is out. I enjoy throwing in a luminous broodmoth, nightmare shepherd or ratadrabik to ensure all this happens in a loop of reanimation, same with like, vampires having access to drana and the white 5 mana bishop that reanimate every attack!
I really enjoy zombie themes with commanders like Scarab God and Ratadrabik (the latter has legendaries as a theme even if they aren't all zombies because theyll come back as zombie token copies)...
Elves are classic- if you get tired of mono green elves there is tyvar kell giving access to the green black elves. Myrrim, sentinel wurm is a huge stompy red blue green dragon-copying tribal deck that is terrifying, and Toxorill can be built as a horrors tribal deck with a nasty sludge monster/toxorill/proliferate spells combo combined with things like hullbreaker horror, phyrexian obliteror, all the way down to pesky small things like yarok's fenlurker, with an inevitable "other undeniably synergistic blue black cards" subtheme since horrors alone would waste a lot of toxorill synergy with things like Tasha. Speaking of dimir, rogues and ninjas also have a pretty damn good selection for tribal decks.
Alela in esper makes flying fairies whenever you play enchantments, I often merge this with a hallowed haunting (so spirits) subtheme. There is a rainbow shrines deck floating around in various iterations the past couple years that can rly kick ass, people also rly like to build sliver cascade decks in rainbow that can also synergize with things like jodah the unifier's legendary cascade (and combos like maskwood nexus making sliver hivelord make all creatures indestructible). If you like artifact creatures specifically, urza made those decks newly strong,
Bem, sim CGB, eu teria concedido o jogo depois de perder um terreno. Sem terra, sem jogo. Que jogo delicioso. O oponente Teferi não adaptou a técnica que você usou em seu próprio baralho de Teferi. Você precisa de sorteio de cartas. Não apenas contadores.
My least favorite part about hell queue is how ridiculously salty opponents get in it, either scooping on sight or roping out when they’re losing, it feels like it’s really hard to get a real game going
The last game was lost because he didnt play his Brainstorm. Brainstorming with the treasure would've let him hit his land drop and keep one blue up for spell pierce, this entire game would've looked different since blood on the snow would've been used a turn earlier. Oh well, you win some you lose some.
Any game I get land screwed I scoop lol sometimes I just can’t get a good hand and just scoop lol bc I’m not putting 3+ cards back starting with only 4 cards fudge that. that’s just not fun
If I only had 2 lands against a Teferi deck with 6 lands then I would've scooped because I know I wouldn't have drawn into anything decent in that game while the opponent goes off lol.
16:25 Totally would have scooped that game. Arena loves to put players at opposites. My opponents hand is as stacked as mine is scuffed. So if my hand and draws are bad, there's must be god-tier. You just got lucky and they sucked as a player. 😆
Yes, to us portuguese speakers, this is good ol' daddy Nicol Balls. A fitting name for the card that makes me want to cry whenever I see it on the board!
And "Shana" is our hero to beat you "Bolas"
@@Resumindofds a quinta serie não sei de nós nunca hahahah
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Immanuel Kant
Nigel Balls
I would have scooped so hard with that mana screw. Good job CGB.
16:25 Me as well😅
So yeah, as a spanish speaker it took me a while to take seriously an antagonist named "Nicol balls"
You will respect the ‘ol balls
Like me a Swedish speaker having problem with one of the mightiest in Marvel (Knull, Lord of all symbiotes) name straight up just meaning "Someone you shag" xD
It took me the same as a brazilian
I’m from Brasil and i feel the absolute same 😂

Keep it up CGB!
Pero es Nicole, nombre femenino, no Nicolás
Me encanta Nicole Balls
Escuche el otro dia en mi LGS a alguien llamar a un gato: Nicol Bolas de pelo. Simplemente ahi lo dejo
@@Cronirios es Nicol, no Nicole, no es necesariamente femenino.

Wait until they unveil Xana Bolas 😂
Probably getting those comments because his name is Nico Balls in Spanish! 😂
In Portuguese too
He's aware
Omg u right I never thought of it til u mention and I know Portuguese
Dragon Balls?
I must be honest. I would have scooped the 2 land Teferi game. Great job, great video.
Gracias cgb. Nada mejor que un mazo de bolas...
Man, every time I see Bolas I just want to know what happened to the dude from Legends that was just chilling in the library reading his books and where did he go so wrong? Was his sibling's fighting so bad that he had to go and become a multiverse dominating terror just to shut them up?
It was an evil library with evil books
@@delasvegas9644 That explains it
I would have Scooped in second game after 2 missed lands! Well done ! You are cool!
I wouldn't with all that 2 mama interaction against a slow deck
@@mcbescheiden725 i need myself some 2 mama interaction right now tbh
@@windinthewillow1871 ask you're mama then
@@mcbescheiden725 too late I already asked yours
@@windinthewillow1871 just made fun of you're grammar mistake ;)
29:59 And now, a Baral has scooped to your Bolas, just as Bolas scooped to your Baral a few days ago.
A fun little 2 card combo, having seen that Teferi HoD game, is Lotus Field and Strict Proctor. SP Counters the ETB of Lotus Field unless you choose to pay 2, so you just don't have to sac 2 lands and you still get the Lotus Field.
Cool, evil deck, always amazed by your thoughts about how to take out the best from every spot!
Man I’m loving historic brawl
As a Sythis player, I've enjoyed farming Bolas in HB so when I saw you up against Sythis for the final game, I was actually really interested in seeing how you'd win. Sorry you got screwed though. Great video!
Excelente vídeo, continue fazendo vídeos dessa qualidade. Sou um grande fã.
Didn't expect to see Nicol's Balls today, yet here we are
Glorious! Or should I say, cool.
Also, that was an impressive "begin"!
I would've scooped so badly, 2 lands vs 6. Man u good.
I played Bolas today before this video came out and out of my 10 games 8 were Kinnan, 6 of those games where on the draw
The amount of times they had a counter for bolas was absurd, and having fatal push/bloodchief's thirst wasn't enough, since they just replay the commander with their endless mana
True hell queue experience, Kinnan is definitely a deck on Arena
Never stop with the brawl vids! Great stuff you should make a Gishath deck
I would have scooped that Teferi game 10 turns ago man congrats on actually winning that thing
Finally... this was the video I was waiting for =)
I don't interact here often, but since you mentioned the Brazilian community, here I am. Member of the cool kids club since when? M21, I guess. Will never forget that 40 minute Barrin game
Thank you very much for your marvelous gameplay, master CovertGoBlue.
Oh boy, can't wait to see Nicol Bolas even more than I already do. Just have to keep overwhelming them with Temur Omnath, I guess
Like si te gusta ver a cgb jugando con bolas
Definite scoop turn 4 there, great job CGB
Not gonna lie, missing that land drop twice I would have salty scooped. Bravo on sticking it out against control.
Nicol Bolas will always cost 8 Mana and have UBR upkeep for me.
Totally would have scooped that game. Haha you’re killing it
You make Bolas Vs. Kinnan seem like an easy fight.
This deck needs to be played again
16:26 Absolutely true
Happy to see that i m not alone in consistantly miss land drops in dragon god deck
That 2nd game is why you are the One in Best of One!
Fax, I would’ve scooped against teferi every time with two lands 😅😅
The boogeyman of the format right now is Rusko
CGB being hype after winning the mana screw got me pretty hype
Good job Throttling threats
Aww, that's fire. And yeah I'd have scooped
Yes, I would have definitely scooped that game after just 2 turns of mana screw.
16:24
I confess, I would have scooped. But I'm terrible at Brawl in general
Finally my favourite character from the mtg universe. Free Bolas.🙂
Hay que tener bolas para usar a Nicol Bolas
I would’ve scooped…but then again I’m not the one in best of one.
Nicol Balls, man I love spanish, it's so good.
Great win in that second game 👏 👏 👏
I miss my third land drop I scoop, no sense playing a game with no stakes.
Vs. Teferi. Yep, absolutely would have scooped having considered the game unwinnable. Damn CGB, thanks for taking me to school.
16:17 ok but was it fun?
Was a good turn around though.
I would have surrender in face of no drawing enough lands that game. I dont have the stamina, sorry, sensei 😔
The house! Been playing this commander non stop but wish it wasn't in the hell que...
red blue and black is an interesting combination of cards
In Mexico we use the word Bolas to refer to the testicles, so for me it will always be NICOL TESTICLES.
Just in time for a new video
Getting into arena and wanting to play historic either bolas or lord xander in historic brawl. What packs should I start getting to work on that? Not using a credit card so going to grind them out but... would like to know if anyone has insight on that. Appreciate it.
I understand the control part but what's the win con besides making people concede??
Made an explorer deck with bolas and I’m loving every minute, it’s fun to 4 drop Shelly then 5 Bolas
Comentando en español para apoyar a Nicolas Balls.
I would have scooped like the sh$t it was.
Nicol BOLAS? Lá ele parcelado em 12 vezes sem juros
hey boss, could you do an upgraded tergrid list one of my favorite legends and would love to see your upgraded take on the deck.
Would sanctuary warden work on toxic counters?
Nicole Bolas 😂😂 I can't wait to call him Nicole at my next edh night
Oh baby Bolas time!
definitely would have scooped lmao what a god
I would have scooped after the 2nd-3rd missed land but mostly because it's unranked.
I love your content as much as Pleasentkenobi, Saffron Olive, Crim and a few other MTG content creators that I watch. But that last game against sithis, just made me so happy to see you lose against it, esp as a green/white player.
Good ole nicol balls
I returned to Arena after 3 expansions. I love Tribal Historic Brawl. Any recommendations for a decent yet fun tribe ?
Sorin Imperious Bloodlord as a black white vamp commander is highly underrated imo, I love it so much because it gives all your creatures/planeswalkers lifelink on your turn, and -x to reanimate anything cmc x to the battlefield- especially w access to the vito/exquisite blood infinite life drain combo + multiple tutors, a commander that always lifelinks- alongside vampires that grow, draw cards, drain opponent, kill opponent's board off & reanimate each other is rly good.

I enjoy throwing in a luminous broodmoth, nightmare shepherd or ratadrabik to ensure all this happens in a loop of reanimation, same with like, vampires having access to drana and the white 5 mana bishop that reanimate every attack!
I really enjoy zombie themes with commanders like Scarab God and Ratadrabik (the latter has legendaries as a theme even if they aren't all zombies because theyll come back as zombie token copies)...

G2 I definitely would have scooped early on.
Such a tough last game!
Portuguese too! Play the Bolas with the Shana
My least favorite part about hell queue is how ridiculously salty opponents get in it, either scooping on sight or roping out when they’re losing, it feels like it’s really hard to get a real game going
I mostly agree with you but there's no chance I'm playing even 1 minute against baral, scoop on sight no matter what deck I'm playing
The last game was lost because he didnt play his Brainstorm. Brainstorming with the treasure would've let him hit his land drop and keep one blue up for spell pierce, this entire game would've looked different since blood on the snow would've been used a turn earlier. Oh well, you win some you lose some.
If I don't draw lands 3 turns in a row, I scoop 9 out of 10 time. Great hustle there - very impressive comeback!
I would have scooped totally! :)
I would've forfeited after missing the first land drop, ngl. Nobody can tilt the best in best of one.
I'd 100% scoop that game. And I'll do it again.
Any game I get land screwed I scoop lol sometimes I just can’t get a good hand and just scoop lol bc I’m not putting 3+ cards back starting with only 4 cards fudge that. that’s just not fun
call me Mr. Scoopy scoop lol

I find it hilarious that his first line of text is never used. I guess the benefit is too niche, even with +3 walkers
Game 2 I would have scooped after my second consecutive draw of no lands
Forward combined hamming
Is CGB not invited to the mtga prerelease thus time?
me gustaria tener un chiste sobre bolas, cartas y dragones, pero no tengo la suficiente creatividad para crearlo.
I’ll be honest. I woulda raged scooped after the 2nd no land drop
Nicole Bahls is my favorite super villain
I would’ve scooped like on turn 5 if I didn’t get my land 3 turns in a row
Rakdos and CGB playing each others decks
Who is your daddy, and what does he do?
