You know the deck is good when it needs no introduction and just goes straight into the games. ☀️💧🖤

@DaHeadBanG 10 ай бұрын

I appreciate that you included the losing streak and did not cut it from the video. As much as it hurts to see it, it also reminds me (and I guess all of us) that such streaks can happen to anyone and that we can't draw perfect hands with perfect answers every game.

@jamesstevenson3116 10 ай бұрын

Literally how every deck I play goes, win 10 in a row, then get punished miserably by the shuffler til you’re back to 50%

It's not the shuffler, it is the matchmaker.

@1ryb360 10 ай бұрын

To be fair in the second half of the video he was on really high tilt, and made at least one significant mistake in almost every game that resulted in him losing. Which I FEEL in my bones, when I'm tilting I make mistakes and rage at the shuffler too haha. But he could have won almost all of the games he lost if he had played better (which, again to be fair, is a lot easier to say than do when you are tilted)

54:42 I always stop playing arena after the end of the season, 'cause climbing the ladder (playing control, especially) is always frustrating, but come back later. I think not too many people reached the diamond though. And yes, it's funnier watching you suffering than playing by myself.

@canis39 10 ай бұрын

I am in that "weird" group -- I only play/watch Standard, but I haven't played since February. For me, it comes down to this: * I don't like watching people play cards I've never seen before, and I don't like the digital-only effects in Alchemy. So that's why I'm only interested in Standard. * I haven't played in a while because it's just not fun for me anymore. The matchmaker and the shuffler are just too much to deal with. They make off-meta brewing nearly impossible. * I still love watching your Standard content because you're awesome, not sure how else to explain it. I just love your thought process and your stream of consciousness.

@mandielyn0416 10 ай бұрын

I wish all of the videos were like this! By far my favorite in a long time. More control please!

@BloodnutXcom 10 ай бұрын

You are correct that I don't play standard, but I basically quit mtg a long time ago. I'm only watching your standard videos because I don't need to pause for every card to read it. And in general I watch your videos because I like your sense of humor, how you make decisions and it's a nice thing to watch with my dinner

@parkerdixon-word6295 10 ай бұрын

As for the conversation of watching vs playing: I realized about a year ago that a multiplayer, competetive game where, if I start to divide up the number of games where I'm actually having fun, and the mixture of crushing defeat, one-sided games, salt, and general mana screw/flood makes that number as low as it is in magic, and how many of *those* are just "I'm having fun because I'm winning." Then there is no good reason to spend the outrageous amount of money Magic costs to play. But watching you is free, and still compelling, and doesn't require me to drive halfway across town of a very specific time and night of the week to participate, or to go back to my days in online tcgs that I got away from for a goddamned reason, no matter how much I liked some of those decks I brewed in Eternal.

23:10 not wiping turned out to be a huge mistake in hindsight. I guess knowing that there is card draw on the top would have been nice 39:53 no blocks, cut down the 2/2, +1 attack emperor? 40:37 sacrifice planeswalker? 47:28 void rend emperor to avoid opponent's value enough backseat driving. love this video!

I play standard on the weekends, but watch you when i get offa work. Depending on what you play, i either play a new or old CGB deck.

@RustalWolf 10 ай бұрын

I'm one of the people who watches but doesn't play. I watch because I *can't* play, the financial cost of MtG in either form (paper/digital) is too much for someone with low disposable income and free time. I'm glad that content producers like yourself exist so I can still enjoy Magic in some form!

Enjoyed watching the whole thing, but I think there's a real valid reason why a lot of people aren't playing standard now... just seeing the same decks ad nauseam is exhausting. Commend you for chugging along. Standard can be a real slog.

I only really like to watch standard because Historic Brawl and Alchemy and other formats all have too many cards. I only really know the standard cards and so I can understand what is going on, if there's too many cards I can't predict plays and so it's much less fun to watch.

Hello Covert go blue & community, I'm not sure if you'll read this, but i have a request that might be fun. I'm looking for some "Bonkers" decks - without banned cards!! So what came to my mind is stuff like timewarp, and the 2 mana blue card that lets you win if your affinity to blue is greater than your remaining cards in your library combined with deleting the deck. But i am a magic noob compared to covert & this community, so maybe some of you have cool ideas? I'm currently heavily leaning towards some blue control/timewarp/wincons deck for this banless format.
