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
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)
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!
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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. 😆
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
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
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 😂
@@backpac4948 Né mano, meteu logo um bolas no nome... A 5ª série não ia deixar passar
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?
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)
Wait until they unveil Xana Bolas 😂
I would have scooped so hard with that mana screw. Good job CGB.
16:25 Me as well😅
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!
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.
I must be honest. I would have scooped the 2 land Teferi game. Great job, great video.
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.
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.
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
Man I’m loving historic brawl
Cool, evil deck, always amazed by your thoughts about how to take out the best from every spot!
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!
Didn't expect to see Nicol's Balls today, yet here we are
Excelente vídeo, continue fazendo vídeos dessa qualidade. Sou um grande fã.
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
Glorious! Or should I say, cool.
Also, that was an impressive "begin"!
Nicol Bolas will always cost 8 Mana and have UBR upkeep for me.
I would've scooped so badly, 2 lands vs 6. Man u good.
Thank you very much for your marvelous gameplay, master CovertGoBlue.
I would have scooped that Teferi game 10 turns ago man congrats on actually winning that thing
Definite scoop turn 4 there, great job CGB
You make Bolas Vs. Kinnan seem like an easy fight.
Finally... this was the video I was waiting for =)
Totally would have scooped that game. Haha you’re killing it
Never stop with the brawl vids! Great stuff you should make a Gishath deck
Not gonna lie, missing that land drop twice I would have salty scooped. Bravo on sticking it out against control.
Fax, I would’ve scooped against teferi every time with two lands 😅😅
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
This deck needs to be played again
The boogeyman of the format right now is Rusko
Like si te gusta ver a cgb jugando con bolas
That 2nd game is why you are the One in Best of One!
16:26 Absolutely true
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.
Finally my favourite character from the mtg universe. Free Bolas.🙂
CGB being hype after winning the mana screw got me pretty hype
In Mexico we use the word Bolas to refer to the testicles, so for me it will always be NICOL TESTICLES.
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
Hay que tener bolas para usar a Nicol Bolas
Vs. Teferi. Yep, absolutely would have scooped having considered the game unwinnable. Damn CGB, thanks for taking me to school.
Great win in that second game 👏 👏 👏
Nicol Balls, man I love spanish, it's so good.
Happy to see that i m not alone in consistantly miss land drops in dragon god deck
Aww, that's fire. And yeah I'd have scooped
Good job Throttling threats
Nicol BOLAS? Lá ele parcelado em 12 vezes sem juros
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 understand the control part but what's the win con besides making people concede??
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.
Comentando en español para apoyar a Nicolas Balls.
16:17 ok but was it fun?
Was a good turn around though.
red blue and black is an interesting combination of cards
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.
The house! Been playing this commander non stop but wish it wasn't in the hell que...
Made an explorer deck with bolas and I’m loving every minute, it’s fun to 4 drop Shelly then 5 Bolas
"Who is your daddy, and what does he do?"
"My dad doesn't do anything since CGB countered and exiled all his stuff." 😭😭
I would’ve scooped…but then again I’m not the one in best of one.
Would sanctuary warden work on toxic counters?

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
I would have surrender in face of no drawing enough lands that game. I dont have the stamina, sorry, sensei 😔
Just in time for a new video
I'd 100% scoop that game. And I'll do it again.
Portuguese too! Play the Bolas with the Shana
I would have scooped after the 2nd-3rd missed land but mostly because it's unranked.
I would've forfeited after missing the first land drop, ngl. Nobody can tilt the best in best of one.
I would have scooped like the sh$t it was.
Nicole Bolas 😂😂 I can't wait to call him Nicole at my next edh night
Esse é o comentário em português que você estava procurando.
I miss my third land drop I scoop, no sense playing a game with no stakes.
definitely would have scooped lmao what a god
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.
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.
G2 I definitely would have scooped early on.
I returned to Arena after 3 expansions. I love Tribal Historic Brawl. Any recommendations for a decent yet fun tribe ?

Such a tough last game!
Oh baby Bolas time!
Rakdos and CGB playing each others decks
It really annoys me, when so many people use the same cards just because they win, and not because they're fun
I would have scooped totally! :)
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. 😆
Nicole Bahls is my favorite super villain
One of the most stupid names a nemesis could have, and it is a very important character in the game
Who is your daddy, and what does he do?
me gustaria tener un chiste sobre bolas, cartas y dragones, pero no tengo la suficiente creatividad para crearlo.
4th turn without mana? I would've scooped.
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
i would have scoop that teferi game 3 turns after missing land drop
Good ole nicol balls
I’ll be honest. I woulda raged scooped after the 2nd no land drop
call me Mr. Scoopy scoop lol
Game 2 I would have scooped after my second consecutive draw of no lands
Te amamos Daniel
I find it hilarious that his first line of text is never used. I guess the benefit is too niche, even with +3 walkers
