Almost 20 cards in your hand and you say you have options. Well I hope to hell you do lol!
Cmon man, where is my 2+ hours UW control video😱
You and your east coast time, i can never seem to catch those, curses!
The sheer happiness on CGB's face while playing this deck compared to yesterday's Gruul deck is hilarious.
Our boy just loves control decks XD
Imagine having like 22 cards in hand and no discarding. Who wouldn't smile like that!
I know I'm projecting, but it was almost like the "Good Games" you got from these opponents felt genuine. Like they appreciated you were playing something "different," and playing it well. 💪🏽
No... I got the same impression. Those were very impressive matches.
When ramp is so out of control and oppressive that people start thanking you for countering their spells instead.
I don't usually comment and while you always make quality videos, this one is my favorite in quite a while. It really shines through that you enjoyed the challenge of creating this deck and you really came up with something unique that really works and you play it very well.
Also the glasses and bandana thing is not really my jam and I really enjoy this more "sincere" style. You know of course whats best for yourself and the channel, the videos are always quality. Keep up the great work and hopefully you reach your goal of 100k subscribers by the end of the year.
💯
agreed on everything you said
Top shelf content, hands down. Best part for me is how CGB literally thinks out loud and addresses each possibility, several turns ahead. When I talk like this with friends about anything I often get some head scratches and obvious non-verbal cues indicating they are just not interested in speculative discussions. CGB's videos make me feel that although we are few and far between, there are people who genuinely enjoy mental crunchwork like this. The geeky wisecracks are a definite plus as well (definitely meant as a compliment!). Never stop, my dude. 🙏
Me: I’m going to bed now, I need to wake up early tomorrow
CGB: *uploads new video*
Me: I’ll just watch the first game then go to bed
CGB: I have you now...
⬆️This is me
+1 every single time
Your addition of the apparitions is brilliant. This is what my U/W control was missing. I didn't know thats how it worked; its so good man; they just get a useless token back; so powerful. Nice touch and thanks.
thank you so so much CGB
Hey mate. I started MTG again with the new exp and i've been having a blast watching your vids. Thanks dude!
the amount of restraint and pace my dude, this is why we watch u play, im more of a midrange guy, but dude this was entertaining

:
We're closely monitoring developments in Standard. In order to avoid disrupting this weekend's tournaments, we intend to provide an update on the format early next week.
Bye Uro... prob
Here we go again 🔥
@@DaveMoongazer I hope so. Cobra and Omnath can stay imo.
See ya, scute!
@@DaveMoongazer Uro isnt really the problem anymore tho.
You managed to control temur adventures, amazing mate.
THIS was it for me in 1995/6 with a 100+ white blue art control. Loved that deck MOST of all and esp for multi-player.
Your HOME with these colors too. Can tell you've been playing awhile.
Awesome to hear about the pup!
I've seen so many misplays on the skyclave today it's been great. I've had it shocked before it's coming into play effect hits so they don't get the token. I've had it bounced so the leaving play effect occurs before the coming into play effect works, they get no token and I get to use it again and again. Loving it so far!
It makes me happy that CGB looks so cheerful. It is so contagious!
People think CGB is trying to win, so they keep on saying how he missed lethal, but in reality, all he wants are cards and value. So from now on, everybody should point how he could have drawn more cards or gained more value.
lol
CGB: Let's draw up to 20 cards
WotC: We should bring this to mobile
Please don't let it be cross play. People already play as if they're semi afk. Add in a tiny screen, and more distractions=bad idea.
I already play it on mobile via Steam Link, u can handle it ez if ur phone isnt too small.
Hearthstone has decent experience on mobile. I don't see why they can't have a similar or better experience here, oh wait thats right, it's wotc!
I think I would just deck build on mobile. Maybey play sparky to test draw but little beyond that.
Any phone screen to pc sharing app still works. And theirs a few emulators / browsers on phones that can handle it. Also your phone / tablet needs to be a wide boi.
Love the 1 Copy of Legion Angel. I run it in my UW Yorion ETB Deck. Finished the vid. This deck is pretty awesome.
Gotta love that wincon 🤓
This is what I was waiting for!
Same⚪🔵
Yeesssss
CGB simply has to make fun of those falling into the trap of apparition. just loved 5:39
dsbflasfd i was wondering if anyone else saw it! nice
Well he's not wrong. He apparently read my mind when I killed an apparition yesterday to get my creature back...
I don't judge!
"Okay, I'll just watch the first game then get on with my day..."
same just happened, then went into the comments searching for others... lol
"... Huh? Where am I? What time is it?"
1 hour, 9 minutes later: Well at least it's CGB + Azorius control... #worthit
Same
Finally Covert went blue.
He did the thing.
Ooh, are we punny today
You could say, Covert Goes Blue?
@@ZakanaHachihaCBC Covert did the thing.
Rafa commented on the thing.
I did the thing about commenting about thing.
Now you reword the thing.
We have official reached maxed thing capacity.
great video, and it was really fun to watch. And it is so good to see you playing happily and proffesional again, without much salt. i will subscribe again
I really enjoy the depth in a long intro with strategy. I am the reversed uncool-kid, who views just intro and outro, when I don't have the time to watch it all... Having thoughts on strategy is the absolute best for me, and I get so much more from it than watching game play... So, mad props to you for elaborating so much in this video :) (Even if I am more of an aggro player than a control player - I do play Sultai Control post rotation, so it's not like I don't enjoy control content as well :P )
Glad you enjoy it!
Wow dude. What an Amazing 1st game. That was the best 40 mins of MTG Arena I've seen on YT for sure. Good job!
@@brianv3ntura well then. Thanks for that breakdown. I was wondering why he won. I guess CGB just got lucky.
I feel like I understand UW Control a little bit now. It seems like it must feel so good to grind a value machine like adventures down to helplessness...
I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed MTG content this much. Maybe my control bias is skewing my perspective, but I think the fact that this video was a labor of love really shines through. Big thanks CGB!
"41 and 37 and thats in one day btw"
First game he shows goes half an hour. Mathematically this should be impossible!
You can see that first games lasted for 7, 10 minutes.
And I also bet many of the losses were quick scoops after a few minutes. Some of the wins are probably similarly quick scoops from the opoonents.
Not all matches are grind fests though.
Woah, very tight playing on game 1. Congrats, i'm impressed!! Keep up the good work
That first game was the most CGB game ever. A lot of people would view that as a brutal slog. But CGB was like a pig in you-know-what that entire time. (And, kidding aside, that was a beautifully played game. I need to get better at playing patiently.)
Love the content, glad the doggo is ok, just helping the algorithm
So glad your dog is feeling better! I know how “off” a sick pupper can make us. Be well little lab!
1:00:22 I knew it. I always knew it. CGB does NOT mean Covert Go Blue. It means Covert Go Big!
YESS, I've been hoping you would upload another UW video!! I've been tinkering around with the deck from your previous UW vid. Basically the main issue I had was if I didn't draw 1 of 4 shatters in the first 11 cards, I lost. I tried using 3x shatter in the main 1 in the sideboard to give a total of 6 hits with fae of wishes, little more stable but risks losing a turn. I also mained swift response which helped a little. Putting the apparitions and legion angel in is game-changing, much more value in the cards and it should help stabilize many more early games. Essence scatter combo with borrower also seems much stronger than using my swift response.
I also found the main win-con to be gadwick rather than trawler, it really is about having a critical mass of answers in your hand before you can be confident your creatures are going to stick. Your solution with sea gate makes that win-con even more achievable.
Awesome vid.
So much dedication to the deck... Huge respect for that.
I absolutely hate playing against these type decks, and not good enough, yet, to pilot them. So many super relevant decisions to make, ugh.
Learning so very much from your videos, please keep it up!
I was very late joining your twitch streams, didn't even know what twitch was 2 months ago. Luckily caught your epic pre-release stream, was freaking awesome. For anyone that hasn't joined his twitch, it's awesome. Showdown with AliasV and all the your party decks was incredible!
I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos!
It's really nice to see CGB genuinely having fun playing the deck he loves in the way he likes to play it!
Absolutely epic. I’m exhausted. Standard scares me so much now I think I will just watch your videos.
Thanks for helping me improve my play. I used to only be able to curve out and smash face.
well you have my gratitude and respect. building a working azorius control deck in this meta what a mad lad. ill craft this and play this until we either get a sky noodle deck or until Kaldheim drops.
I was about to brew a UW control, glad someone already did most of the work!
Ah the colors I've been waiting for, finally!
Love the deck and loved the game play. Super interesting to watch. When yiu have good content like this im glad to stay and watch a longer video
Man, what a class o magic. I watched every move! My biggest frustration with controlling decks are the agro decks that make my hands usually to slow to stand the early game. Nonetheless, amazing job on this one! Tks CGB!!!! As always, great content!!
Finally! More of this exactly please! This is why I watch, this is my kind of Magic!
I love this deck! I used to think I was an aggro player and then a friend of mine reminded me of all the old decks I had made and use to play. Turns out I've been a control player this entire time, with a sprinkle of combo for fun.
LOVED IT! Definitely going to throw this deck together and try it out on MTG Arena. I'll give you full credit of course! Cheers.
Love the deck. I think the game audio is a smidge too loud compared to your voice, everything else looks and sounds good
Out of all the streamers I watch you always come up with the most creative and nuanced decks. Thanks for the entertaining content!
Glad you like them!
Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed all of it
Glad to see some uWu control again ( : and yes please upload more dimir, uWu, jeskai, and non-blue control thank you.
UB control has always been my favorite deck as well man! Love your take on it here, keep up the awesome content!
Two questions (and sorry if I missed you answering them in the deck talk!)
1) Why no Yorion? Two of the three new Zendikar cards have powerful ETB effects, you'd think it would be even better than it was. The meta just too hostile to it?
2) Any particular reason for the Tranquil Coves over a set of blue-white Triomes? Is it just a budget-conscious decision for viewers who might want to craft the deck?
Unrelated: _God_ I love that Ikoria/lava-land music.
Yeah Finally humble CGB is back and I love it. Cocky CGB was getting a bit annoying. Good stuff
What, cocky cgb is best cgb
CGB is CGB, all around great no matter what
Him being himself is best either way the wind blows.
I love how much you love UW Control, I feel the same way. Playing with it or even playing against it, control it such a great part of magic. When it's not in the meta, the game loses some of the luster for me
schickd12 When Control isn’t a playable deck choice, the format is in a bad place.
Same for mid-range.
CGB doing UW control decks is what I keep looking forward to. Happy to hear about your doggo!
I’ve been waiting for this video since you mentioned it a few days ago! 👍
"Somebody stop me!"
Heck yeah, awesome seeing you enjoy piloting a deck you love so much :)
I can see why you put so much love into this deck. I just played it for 4 hours and enjoyed every bit of it! Worth noting, I do not enjoy control decks.
These matches are what Magic is all about. I learn so much from watching you play, thanks CGB!
Glad you like them!
CGB's favorite card of all time: Sea Gate Restoration.
I love watching you play the deck you love.
XD the brazen borrower made him sneeze too much fairy dust 29:20
Hey CovertGoBlue, I really enjoyed the content! I had also noticed you won all the games which took tons of skill and patience but I had noticed a lot of your opponents didn't hit there god draws like on the play turn 2 lotus cobra turn 3 Omnath turn 4 win so that made me wonder how much you felt like you were doing the heavy lifting for the deck? and if you felt like the deck deserves the 55% win rate or if the old version did but now the newest version deserves a 90%?
41:37 to fine tune the deck - that’s what I call dedication!..
I didn't have enough Sea Gates so I added Teferi master of time and he worked out great. Thanks for the Deck and I'm glad to here good new of your pup
Glad to hear that your dog is ok! And thanks for the great deck and video, as always!
5:39
A picture of Fblthp
Captain flies away
I've been waiting for this deck soooo long!!
What an epic game. So impressed by the strategy and patience you played with
Nice first game!! That was a battle. Well played!
Now this is a deck! These matchups looked very interesting, you have the potential to draw even more and better cards then them, but are more restricted on mana.
This was so fun to watch. Thanks a bunch.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hej CGB, this video was awesome!
Will you be tweaking this decklist into bo3?
This season is just battle of the value lords. That first game both you and oppo have nearly 20 cards each at one point!
1:01:09 you look so happy CGB...the Azorius mage face is back :-D
Glad your dog is going to be ok! Very excited for this deck
Hello!
1. Thanks a lot for daily entertainment and guidance in the misty jungle that’s this meta.
2. I was wondering if you have considered playing a uw control with Dance of the manse as a sort of graveyard Yorion for ecd and such. I feel like it could be fun, but this far it’s just semi successful for me.
Glad to hear puppers is ok. Thanks for all the content you put out for us. Also imagine a world where 3feri and Seagate exist in the same format. you are awesome CGB.
CGB - Big fan of the content. With my first child, and associated expenses, my discretional card buying income has gone to zero. I appreciate what you do; I can still enjoy the game I've loved since the 90s, without needing to reuse diapers. ;) Seriously, with all the content, my kid will be a pro by the time he can talk.
Thanks, and I hope you reach the 100k mark soon.
Thank you! I'm sure your child will be raised very well.
Those angels turned out to be better than what you expected in the podcast
What is your thought on running 2 and 2 instead of 1 and 3 in sideboard. Little less powerful when you hit it, but you hit it much more often. Also 3 angels usually does the trick, it's rare the 4th one is the one that matters that much. There are pros and cons to both.
Those games were so much fun! would you mind uploading another video of this deck?
Great deck, smashed the evil decks of meta
Skyclave Apparition is a huge addition to this deck because it's been difficult up to now to have something worthwhile, or indeed, anything, to bring back with first ECD. Now you have repeated removal.
UW control hype
I can hear our fellow UW control mages shouting with joy. When I first played mtga my favorite deck is UW pacifism control deck
I anticipated that after the first defeat of Gruul yesterday 😄
I love a man doing what he loves the most ❤️
Glad I wasnt the only mad lad putting a full set of Essence Scatters in this sort of deck. You have to have it early with the crazy ass creature meta going on right now. I feel like Whirlwind denial has a place in the deck vs. adventures and other matchups.
Love control match ups xD hope we see more of this deck :D
Didn't realise the apparition took nonland permanents. Even better than I thought it was.
Great video as always. Nice to see some UW control.
YES! Finally UW Control! I play this deck since beginning of Zendikar and I'm curious what CGB made of it.
First things first: Amazing! The Temur adventure resource fight, maaan this is brutal.
Second: When you got big hands like that could you do me a favor and sort the cards in pairs, that'll be awesome (:
Going back to the old days I was a huge fan of control. Mox Sapphire, Counterspell, Time Twister and Time Walk - just straight up fun blue :)
Wow! I'm a uw player too. And I can't build a good uw deck with the current meta. But This... This is awsome man, thank you
I'm glad the doggo is fine :) was asking a few times on your last stream but there was too much activity in the chat
I personally prefer the webcam being where it was. I know it was more up-front and maybe in the way but I feel like I'm missing out on decisions, where it is now.
That was just amazing!
Control! Now you're all grown up. Road to 100k, let's go!
Hey CGB. I don't know what app you used for your graph, but since you're learning the deck and modifying it on the go, maybe you should use the last X games to calculate your win rate, not the whole data. This would be a more accurate depiction of the current strength of the deck. And, depending on the time you took to play the games, doing this would also consider the ever-changing meta.
Struggling to hit first-time Mythic, I was 1 win away a couple times - picked up this deck and finally went 5-0 to get there, versus our archenemies, RDW. Thanks for the deck!
Nice work! Congrats on Mythic!
What is that overlay CGB uses with MTG:A? Where do I find that?
