My backup channel - th-cam.com/channels/uvVwV414lLmhgWzWpJbmGg.html Warning to picky people: It is very likely I will start mentioning things like my number of days in self-imposed quarantine for the purpose of letting others know it can be done. A lot of people are resisting staying home, and it makes things worse. I want to be a good example. If you want to post comments about how long you have been social distancing I welcome them. I don't play to make it political, I don't plan to shame those who can't do it, I just want to share my story. It's my channel and that makes sense right?
We're only just at the beginning of our 4 week lockdown here in New Zealand so it'd be great to hear more of your experience as we just begin ours and kudos for being a good roll model :) great video and congrats! :D
@@thegreatowigimon2 yep. Although I dont know how brawl would differ, because in commander you can go up to much higher CMC, because the average mana curve is a lot higher in commander. You can get up to things like 12CMC with cards like Enter the Infinite. Also, since Atemsis doesnt require combat damage, you can use equipment/auras like Hermetic study to give Atemsis the ability to just ping for 1 damage to trigger.
I’m into my 3rd week of isolation in the UK. That’s because my son has a condition. I’m really grateful for those who are staying inside and trying to help beat this thing. And I’m very grateful to you CGB for helping me to keep sane.
Pro tip atemsis is relly good with flood of tears, because it returns all nonland permanents to hands, and if you bounce four your things to your hand you can put a permanent on the battlefield. I pulled off the combo with leyline of anticipation that makes everything have flash and flood the tears on their end step and winning the game putting atemsis on the battlefield. You basically need permanents of different costs on the battlefield, then you bounce everything to your hand. I personally used artifacts and karn. Its genious i know. Try it out
I had some success with a mono blue Atemsis deck in ELD Standard in a flood of tears shell. Teferi can instant speed a flood of tears to kick back all of the permanents with various CMC (eggs, stonecoil serpent, mirrormade, etc). Another route was to use bag of holding in a R/U draw twice shell (thrill, enter the god pharoah, irencrag pyro,etc) then pop the bag to reveal your goodies (barring inevitable Teferi)
I brewed this, and it's not actually that bad. Mirror, blue leyline, counters, thassa, the flying uw mage that draws the card etc. it works 90% of the time 5% of the time ;)
Even when I don't have time to watch the matches, I go each video, click like, and listen to your intro and lead in. It's a daily connection I value a lot right now. Thank you, CGB!
That after game victory text next to you after pulling the combo felt more like one for finally making it than one for winning, amazing game! Cheers from quarantine, your madness keeps us sane!
I like using Magic Mirror to try to hit the win-con. You just end up drawing everything you need. I'm not brave enough to take it to Standard Event though.
Ahh, I love Atemsis! Saw Absurd Heroine's video in which she manages to pull it off (in a non-Fires deck, to boot!) by using basically just Azorious removal and draw spells, and tried to brew up my own, but it's real hard to make connect. They key is to make sure you're stacking your deck with removal of different CMCs. Cheers on another great video, and hope you're holding up well in isolation!
Man, I watch you everyday here all the way down south, from Brazil, very single day, cuz you are awesome enough to post a video that often. Just wanted to say thanks, your content really, reeeaally helps at times like these. Not gonna get too emotional here, but yeah, thanks for that, keep the great work !
Atemsis actually triggers off of any damage, not just combat damage, meaning that any effect that can be used to cause a creature to deal damage to an opponent can lead to a win. I've seen EDH versions of her running stuff like sorcerer's wand to achieve this goal.
Nice, thank you for stressing the importance of staying at home as much as possible atm. People laughed at me 2-3 weeks ago when I bought food for multiple hundred bucks. Now everyone rushes to the supermarket like idiots only to find that alot is sold out, and above all risking to be infected. Of course the virus won't suddenly disappear, but trying not to get infected is like holding back an instant in MtG: It cannot be worse than not doing so, and one might find relevant information before one's next turn.
Do you think maybe Folio of Fancies or Magic Mirror would work well here? That way you can have a bunch of cards over the 7 card limit to have a higher chance of having 6 different CMCs.
Good words at the start my dude, keep doing what you're doing, appreciate the content in these trying times so much my dude, love and support and all that jazz
I love it when a jankish combo comes together! I thought about pulling the Artemis combo off with platinum angel and a card that lets you draw your deck (Folio of Fancies).
I'm at the 17th day of self quarantine. Living in northen italy now is harsh, there's many restriction passed by law in this days, including needing a document to change zone. Luckily, I have all the shops I need around 100-200m from where I live, and I can work from home, so there's not much problems for me (I'm a open weeb, so anime, movies & videogames are already my usual free time hobby). Ah, btw, my usual "go-crazy-deck" is mono green CONTROL. Yeah. I've done it in other format, never tried in standard.
Remember, Coverted mana cost is 1, 2, 3, 4 NOT 1R, 1W, 1G, 1B for 4 different CMC. Ive won with this win con. This is my take on it. Still tweaking. But Leyline/Wilderness + Nyx for mana.

I just saw this vid (new vid of the day) and I was like YAYY CGB CGB CGB!!! My sister walked by and was like wtf...hahaha I was like...."C.. G.. B!!" Glad you are staying safe in these crazy times, so glad you can just stay home and do what you love along giving us amazing games to watch!
My current favorite jank is abzan divine visitation. Black for strider; white for oketra, bishop, and visitation; and green for ramp, card draw, and manna fixing (and maybe rhoas). It's not necessarily a win con deck but it is jank and I find it to be fun synergy.
My fiancé & I were on the edge of our seats like "can he pull it off??" Lol. Thank u for the riveting quarantine content. It's been 10 days in isolation for us, but being quarantined with someone who loves you isn't half bad.
I had been shaking my head during the latter half of the video as CGB was so happy about getting his alt win con, which much to my surprise, ended up working. I didn't know land counted as it doesn't even have a cmc. I'll remember this next time I play my own version of this win con.
Every damn time someone decides to play Atemsis this aways happens. You think you're finally going to do it, until you realize it's not like Embodiment of Agonies. I've been there man, and it hurts, I feel you. Also, there needs to be some animation for special wincons like these, I can never tell if I won because it went off or because my opponent surrendered.
Quarantine hasn't changed much for me tbh. I had no social life before and I still have no social life now. I'm only leaving home to go with my dog and that mostly at night when everyone is sleeping.
Some other options are to use Atemsis with The Magic Mirror/Folio of Fancies or Teferi + Flood of Tears to get it down at instant speed + stock your hand with permanents you control of different CMC. But I'm not sure if they're any better.
I can't not go outside. Being in Japan when my Japanese isn't great (it gets me through life, but not good enough to hold real conversations) is already really isolating. I don't go out and interact with people, but a few days a week I've been going to semi-populated public places for a walk. Staying far away from people but being around them helps you feel less lonely and gets you a nice walk outside. If you feel like you NEED to get out try a walk around the neighborhood or sparsely populated parks for 15-30 minutes. It really, REALLY helps. (Staying indoors makes my depression terrible. I have, over the years developed small things like this to help. I also don't bulk grocery shop normally so I go shopping every day so I HAVE to go out.... I am buying bigger hauls of groceries right now though.)
Thank you CGB I've been wondering how good Atemsis deck would be and so far I have mixed feelings. Being an 'annoying blue' type of player I tried to make a monoblue, tried Azorius but it's definitely a hard one to pull off. I've considered this CMC 1 artifact Bag something that basically let's you setup a hand but never got it to work. Even when enemy-kun lets the bag be it's still hard to pull off. Keep up the quality content it's always a delight. I for one wouldn't even be mad if the decktech streak was broken somehow, though I gotta admit it's really impressive! Stay safe from this damn Legendary Golgari token creating artifact we call Covid. Cheers!
39:10 I think the reason she didnt work is because of the land since it has no mana cost. I think teferi and narset both being in three mana counts because they have different colour requirements! :)
This is the way I needed to start my day. If you can have the strength to pull off an Atemsis alt-win, then I can have the strength to brave Meijer and get some food for my kids! Congrats btw.
I've gotten Atemsis win combo a bunch of times in Simic colors. It's easy using Risen Reef + Bounce Spells + Healer of the Glade to ramp and survive, then cast Finale of Revelation to fill the hand.
Captivating Title. Thanks for giving voice to what others have chosen to leave unsaid-- and of course thanks for the daily uploads--they're not just entertainment, but a little community as well.
A few months ago I set out to make a deck to achieve this wincon...I built a deck that was a huge pile and won with the alternate wincon in the first game. I then renamed the deck to 100% winrate and left it on the shelf. Edit: I have since deleted the deck, but I think my goal was to get a massive Finale of Revelation. Maybe Folio of Fancies or the Magic Mirror would be better now (those weren't out when I tried it).
God bless Big Guy.. How you are entertaining people thru this Pandemic is an A++. Keep up the good videos they are very helpful. To everyone keep Faith we'll all get thru this.
best way to pull that win off, is to put it in a deck where you can draw every card in the deck if u need to. Yet By the time u have the cards that fit that win, even some how with 6 or 7 cards rather then more. The cards in your hand can most likely win too.
You know if you played some dual cards like Find/Finality, would that count towards having cards of different mana costs for purposes of the Sphinx' win condition? Also the reason people were scooping is because Teferi/Narsett/Fires of Invention/Kenrith is cancer. It had nothing to do with the Sphinx.
I am reassured to see you a little bit more happy. I felt like you were pissed off on the 2 last video. I am happy to grind mtga w your adventure deck. The only hard match up for me w this deck is red black sacrifice. Do you have any recommandations for this match up?
You learned the same thing I did playing this deck. "Different mana cost" means 0-2-3-4-5-6 to win. Embodiment of Agonies fooled me too, I thought it worked that way. I've tried so hard to get Atemsis to work and never done it.
Relevant CMC should be the creature one AFAIK. Like in deck builder, the card name would be 'fae of wishes' and together with the other CMC 2 cards, not 'granted' with CMC 4. I might be wrong but to me it makes sense. STILL, what about dual cards?? Does it count as 2 cards if costs are different?
You can run control cards with unique CMCs like depose/deploy, response/resurgence, expansion/explosion along with The Magic Mirror to fill up your hand. I’ve won a surprising amount of times with this card
How does it work with dual cards? Do both options count if they have different CMCs? So far I tried without duals, with 24 lands 36 cards, 6 cards per mana cost including Teferi, banishing light, shatter, time wipe, blue omen, bag of holding and a few more tricks but this IS a pain.
The CMC is the combination of mana costs on a split card. So response/resurgence is 7 for example. The CMC becomes whichever side you choose on the stack (but that doesn’t matter for Atemsis). Magic Mirror has a CMC of 9 which is also very unique. Lands have a CMC of 0
@@AriGolgari Thanks for clarification. This may indeed be easier with duals then! Also about lands there are people saying they don't have any cost. Which would be different from 0 and in which case CGB shouldn't have won then. But if i understand correctly they do have a cost of 0, only it's not printed because they aren't spells.
The only time a land’s mana cost shows up is if you use Nissa or something to make it into a creature. It will count as a 0 mana cost card in your hand that works towards Atemsis, I learned it by mistake!
41:00 Why didn't you just scry the Omen to the top, draw it, then swing with Atemis? You already had 5/6 and were still missing a 2 cost. Or you could have taken the Teferi, bounced something, then drew the Omen and then swung and won as well.
Revised my Flood of tears deck. Added Uro for further ramp and life gain. BTW, Uro + Cavalier of Thorns is awesome. I have pictures, it was beautiful. And the opponent saw it coming and let me go all the way!
My sugestion to make this one work consistently is when you can draw close to your entire deck first.. there is a couple of combo's out there that do that..
He's pretty decent for Brawl or EDH where you curve tends to have more variety and a higher CMC top-end. I mean, nothing competitive, but decent for casual.
Hey man, interesting loophole I found the other day. I was playing against a mono white deck and I forget the name of the card, but it’s a 2 casting cost 1/2 or 2/1 flier that says triggered abilities of cards don’t trigger. When I played Uro it didn’t get sacrificed due to not paying the escape cost. Did you know about this?
Hello its you its CGB. first i love you second dont worry we are here in self imposed quarentine too . work in my farm and them home to watch your handsome self on video. good job on alt win conditioner. you have a wife :( you have a wife :) love
Based on the title, i expected a HAPPILY EVER AFTER win because that is in fact the WORST WINCON EVER. so tough to get all the conditions in place. With atemsis, all you really have to do is live until turn 6, have moderate board control, and have some sort of looting or draw engine which isnt too tough.
I really don't get the deck building. Why didn't you use cards that remove hand limit, and draw like crazy? Maybe the red god to get haste instead of kenrith, for consistency? And why not Thassa's intervention? You can usually look for the exact card you need to win, and very deep, if I might add.
Hey CGB, your original interpretation of the card is correct, I believe. But you were counting your land as cc 1, but lands have no cc. If you had taken the omen off the subsequent scry, you would have won.
Nah he was saying Tefari and Narset didn't overlap but they both have a CMC of 3. My guess is he was counting the number of different costs starting with 0 as 1. And a CMC of zero does count for the Atemsis trigger.

I’ve been social distancing for 28 years
They really needs to be special effect animation for all alt win con cards for how much effort that goes into pulling them off.
I agree. I thought he just gave up.
I'm imagining the six eyes (like the ones on its wings)appearing in a row on the screen and each shooting a beam at the opponent's portrait.
@@ankhi3585 WotC, did you hear this?
@@ankhi3585 I'd rather have a bunch of closed eyes pop up and surround the player portrait before suddenly opening and the game ending.
triopsate3 Yeah, that would definitively be the way to go I think. This game with the level of animation Hearthstone have would be amazing !
8:30 - ‘Clarion my wayward son; there’ll be peace when you are gone.’
I will say, Atemsis is a lot easier wincon to pull of in Commander, you should try a Brawl deck with him as a commander on the other channel
Yeah singleton allows for a lot more varied cmcs
@@thegreatowigimon2 yep. Although I dont know how brawl would differ, because in commander you can go up to much higher CMC, because the average mana curve is a lot higher in commander. You can get up to things like 12CMC with cards like Enter the Infinite. Also, since Atemsis doesnt require combat damage, you can use equipment/auras like Hermetic study to give Atemsis the ability to just ping for 1 damage to trigger.

My best story with this card is that I once won with it in limited... while it wasn't in my deck. I act of treason'd it.
😂
By dealing lethal damage I imagine, not through the trigger, right?
WOW
@@anvi7572 Nope, with the trigger. I had a lot of cards in hand because I was mana screwed.
@@jfb- if your story is true, it might be the greatest limited win ever.
38:55 Not reading the card heh? Careful CGB, if you go down this way you'll end up smashing your desk with an eastern europe accent, not gonna lie!

Keep up the quality content it's always a delight. I for one wouldn't even be mad if the decktech streak was broken somehow, though I gotta admit it's really impressive!
Stay safe from this damn Legendary Golgari token creating artifact we call Covid. Cheers!
39:10 I think the reason she didnt work is because of the land since it has no mana cost. I think teferi and narset both being in three mana counts because they have different colour requirements! :)
Colour requirements mean nothing when it comes to converted mana costs
@@sephapplewhite8477 Thank you for clarifying it! So in this case the land counts as cmc 0?
39:25 Poor CGB. I felt that confusion in my soul.
This is the way I needed to start my day. If you can have the strength to pull off an Atemsis alt-win, then I can have the strength to brave Meijer and get some food for my kids! Congrats btw.
I've gotten Atemsis win combo a bunch of times in Simic colors. It's easy using Risen Reef + Bounce Spells + Healer of the Glade to ramp and survive, then cast Finale of Revelation to fill the hand.
Thanks CGB, your content gives me something different to think about these days
Captivating Title. Thanks for giving voice to what others have chosen to leave unsaid-- and of course thanks for the daily uploads--they're not just entertainment, but a little community as well.
I run this as my commander in mono-blue brawl. Very fragile, lose 70% of games, but it leads to super asymetrical games that i really enjoy
The madman really did it
Where?
A few months ago I set out to make a deck to achieve this wincon...I built a deck that was a huge pile and won with the alternate wincon in the first game. I then renamed the deck to 100% winrate and left it on the shelf.
Edit: I have since deleted the deck, but I think my goal was to get a massive Finale of Revelation. Maybe Folio of Fancies or the Magic Mirror would be better now (those weren't out when I tried it).
Quarantine? Social distancing? Jokes on you, I've never gone outside. Introverts ftw. xd
I'm guessing some kind of Hydroid Krasis/Finale of Revelation deck where you just dump your library into your hand would be easiest to trigger Atemsis
God bless Big Guy.. How you are entertaining people thru this Pandemic is an A++. Keep up the good videos they are very helpful. To everyone keep Faith we'll all get thru this.
Awesome fun! Do split cards add more mana costs variants to your hand?
Living the self quarantine life as a triplet. Absolute chaos.
Seriously never knew how outgoing I am untill this event. Keep up the isolation pep talk!
I'm happy for you, CGB. You beat Magic the Gathering! Props to Alric for not scooping.
best way to pull that win off, is to put it in a deck where you can draw every card in the deck if u need to. Yet By the time u have the cards that fit that win, even some how with 6 or 7 cards rather then more. The cards in your hand can most likely win too.
40:00 card he's thinking of is Embodiment of Agonies.
You know if you played some dual cards like Find/Finality, would that count towards having cards of different mana costs for purposes of the Sphinx' win condition? Also the reason people were scooping is because Teferi/Narsett/Fires of Invention/Kenrith is cancer. It had nothing to do with the Sphinx.
I am reassured to see you a little bit more happy. I felt like you were pissed off on the 2 last video. I am happy to grind mtga w your adventure deck. The only hard match up for me w this deck is red black sacrifice. Do you have any recommandations for this match up?
You learned the same thing I did playing this deck. "Different mana cost" means 0-2-3-4-5-6 to win. Embodiment of Agonies fooled me too, I thought it worked that way. I've tried so hard to get Atemsis to work and never done it.
"Converted mana cost" not "mana cost".
that moment wen you don't know your own wincon. I feel bad, but I legit laughed.
Have you considered Mask of immolation, cycling, (cause ikoria's out now) or Keep Safe?
This corona thing is seriously depressing
Congrats CGB! That was an epic rally! Really spectacular, made me root for you sincerrly!
Glad you liked it!!
How does it interact with double spells like expansion / explosion?
How does atemis interact with Adventure cards?
Relevant CMC should be the creature one AFAIK. Like in deck builder, the card name would be 'fae of wishes' and together with the other CMC 2 cards, not 'granted' with CMC 4.
I might be wrong but to me it makes sense. STILL, what about dual cards?? Does it count as 2 cards if costs are different?
CGB you are my favorite. So glad I found you
I've been waiting for someone to make a deck on this card. Thanks cgb
The trick with Atemsis is to have a diverse card list. So many 3 and 4 ofs make it very hard to pull off.
What is your Garruk Deck like??? and I am playing with your Gray Orzhov Deck, it is really fun.......
that feeling in the end bro
You can run control cards with unique CMCs like depose/deploy, response/resurgence, expansion/explosion along with The Magic Mirror to fill up your hand. I’ve won a surprising amount of times with this card
How does it work with dual cards? Do both options count if they have different CMCs?
So far I tried without duals, with 24 lands 36 cards, 6 cards per mana cost including Teferi, banishing light, shatter, time wipe, blue omen, bag of holding and a few more tricks but this IS a pain.
The CMC is the combination of mana costs on a split card. So response/resurgence is 7 for example. The CMC becomes whichever side you choose on the stack (but that doesn’t matter for Atemsis). Magic Mirror has a CMC of 9 which is also very unique. Lands have a CMC of 0
@@AriGolgari Thanks for clarification. This may indeed be easier with duals then!
Also about lands there are people saying they don't have any cost. Which would be different from 0 and in which case CGB shouldn't have won then. But if i understand correctly they do have a cost of 0, only it's not printed because they aren't spells.
The only time a land’s mana cost shows up is if you use Nissa or something to make it into a creature. It will count as a 0 mana cost card in your hand that works towards Atemsis, I learned it by mistake!
"Reading the card explains the card"
With that said, I love your content CGB!
When playing Atemsis I usually include bag of holding, at least for me it has worked to achieve the condition needed.
Why does a land counts as a card for the converted mana cost? It counts as a cero coverted mana cost?
Just FYI, when the Reveal button is grey, that means that you don't have the wincon. When it's orange, that means that you do have it.
41:00 Why didn't you just scry the Omen to the top, draw it, then swing with Atemis? You already had 5/6 and were still missing a 2 cost. Or you could have taken the Teferi, bounced something, then drew the Omen and then swung and won as well.
He was in a state of shock, and not thinking clearly.
Simic ascendency.
You made a video about it a year ago, but I think it's more possible in standard than it was back then. :)
Revised my Flood of tears deck. Added Uro for further ramp and life gain. BTW, Uro + Cavalier of Thorns is awesome. I have pictures, it was beautiful. And the opponent saw it coming and let me go all the way!
Is there no way to remove your maximum hand size in current standard?
My sugestion to make this one work consistently is when you can draw close to your entire deck first.. there is a couple of combo's out there that do that..
The ending was too funny 😂 go CGB!
No maximum hand size?
Keep going CGB! Keep making decks! Keep being awesome-sauce!
Did you consider it with Mirror? When you have 20 cards in hands there should be 6 with different costs
He's pretty decent for Brawl or EDH where you curve tends to have more variety and a higher CMC top-end. I mean, nothing competitive, but decent for casual.
Another awesome video mate and really cool three colour deck and I got the same red, white & blue deck as well 😎🤘👍
Word up brotha! We all going through this 2gether!
The jank week lives on I see. Good.
What is that Terror Geddon deck it looks cool
Hey man, interesting loophole I found the other day. I was playing against a mono white deck and I forget the name of the card, but it’s a 2 casting cost 1/2 or 2/1 flier that says triggered abilities of cards don’t trigger. When I played Uro it didn’t get sacrificed due to not paying the escape cost. Did you know about this?
It was meant to say they don’t trigger when they hit the battlefield.
Hushbringer
Yes thank you!
And i thought jank week was over, but here we are. Oh we janking boiz, we janking.
Hello its you its CGB.
first i love you
second dont worry we are here in self imposed quarentine too .
work in my farm and them home to watch your handsome self on video.
good job on alt win conditioner.
you have a wife :(
you have a wife :)
love
Based on the title, i expected a HAPPILY EVER AFTER win because that is in fact the WORST WINCON EVER. so tough to get all the conditions in place. With atemsis, all you really have to do is live until turn 6, have moderate board control, and have some sort of looting or draw engine which isnt too tough.
I really enjoyed the part where you didn't understand what converted mana costs were :)
Edit: actually puke and rally was the best part
I really don't get the deck building. Why didn't you use cards that remove hand limit, and draw like crazy? Maybe the red god to get haste instead of kenrith, for consistency? And why not Thassa's intervention? You can usually look for the exact card you need to win, and very deep, if I might add.
Love how you used precognition in a sentence very blue 👌
Hey CGB, your original interpretation of the card is correct, I believe. But you were counting your land as cc 1, but lands have no cc. If you had taken the omen off the subsequent scry, you would have won.
Nah he was saying Tefari and Narset didn't overlap but they both have a CMC of 3. My guess is he was counting the number of different costs starting with 0 as 1. And a CMC of zero does count for the Atemsis trigger.
Yeah, actually it appears I’m wrong. The m20 card he referenced has different wording. What a bad card!
Can't you have no maximum hand size and make it work?
What about bant instead of jeskai and use scapeshift to get rid of all the lands in your deck before doing emergency powers? Well, it is jank...
