Honestly, dont matter the color of the deck or if is new or the same, CGB content is fun to watch ( when is UW is just even better imo)

@TuneL0wDieSl0w Ай бұрын

The truest real. I could also watch CGB play UW control for 10 hours trait lol

@frozentyphoon2049 Ай бұрын

I feel like people don't realize how crazy three steps ahead truly is. It's so good

@MoipaZ Ай бұрын

I love these "does it Bo1" videos. Especially pulling from the pros, very fun to see decks you know are good applied to the format most of us play on the daily. EDITOR: We need some kinds of "Yes, it Bo1s" stamp to put on the screen at the end of these.

@thisispotatos9957 Ай бұрын

What was interesting is he beat his worst matchup (Temur Analyst) and lost to what I would of thought his easier matchup (Ramp). But I watched the watch party and you called that second game. Where he had to change to aggressive and put ramp on pressure.

@DhorianGray Ай бұрын

Love the new highlighted comment segment! Good idea for driving engagement, but fun to hear your response as well. Keep up the awesome show! Would be awesome to showcase that Jeskai build next - seems really good and fun to play.

@eliaspapa4415 Ай бұрын

YES MORE BLUE-WHITE!!!! It's my favourite archetype to watch you play because you do it so expertly and it's immensly satisfying! ❤❤❤

Was surprised the high noon deck didn't have a counterspell locked and loaded to protect their sphinx

Love seeing you pilot UW control, literally can't get enough! Absolutely love control and watching a pro like you or any other make tough control decisions is so much fun and helps me learn as well

@anthonyellison5998 Ай бұрын

Honestly, though that first game was so good it was amazing. They had the flash commando in case she dropped a temporary lockdown if things just broke their way a little bit better I think CGB would’ve absolutely been dead.

@swellyww7725 Ай бұрын

MORE BLUE-WHITE (just actually enjoing you explaining your thinking process during games and blue-white games tend to have more details here and there depending on situation)

@BeauSwenson-ur6oq Ай бұрын

That first game was a good one, Boros actually playing some smart sneaky magic rather than just dropping everything they have.

@TomMRickert Ай бұрын

LOVE the control videos. Thanks!

@thomasmiller8289 Ай бұрын

When i started out control was so alien to me, and now this is the main thing i love from you, ive learned so much about timing, threat assessment, reading the opponent, etc. Thanks for dropping knowledge every day or however often you decide to do it!

@danielshaw8648 Ай бұрын

Fair play to the first Boros player, they played that deck really well.

I'm A.L.W.A.Y.S up for more UW control. Keep it going !

@Zelein Ай бұрын

Recently I found running a single Celestus helps out a lot on ladder in BO1's - at least once aggro runs out of steam as it helps stabilize via life gain. Could just be me though, but I like it in a blue-white control

@milesstone2501 Ай бұрын

33:31 clipable moment right there. Brilliant reaction 😂😂

@liampezzano Ай бұрын

Hey CGB, what would you include in a UW Timeless deck? I feel like there's too many garbage combos and no interaction.

@evolvedape2161 Ай бұрын

Just play U/W control all the time. I’m here for it!

@kallofkthuluz5922 Ай бұрын

keep the control decks coming! maybe dive into so other color combos? that would be amazing

@markjohnson406 Ай бұрын

I'd be interested in your take on Jeskai High Noon (Jesk-High Noon, perhaps?). I messed around with it in a planeswalker deck so that you had more game actions that weren't casting spells and it seemd like there was something to it.

I love Control, I still play MTG after 20 years exclusively because of Control (Mono U, Azorius).

@jeremiaheubanks3287 Ай бұрын

Dear CGB, what are your thoughts on 'Wash Away'? With Mono Red relying so heavy on the Plot mechanic, I've had so much success hitting Rukus, Plot-Bird, and Squee right when they think I'm stuck on 1 Blue mana xD Even countered a Memory Deluge on a W/U mirror match!!! I"m having a hard time giving it up for the Phantom Interfence...

Yes more blue white control please

So much UW it feels like we are in some sort of... Time Warp!

@xaropevic7918 Ай бұрын

I will say personally tbh I think that his list would like more temporary lockdowns main for best of 1 and for bo3 a jace even as 1 of in sideboard, there is little reason to make the domain matchup that much harder on yourself if you expect it coming, so on bo3 we definitely expects it on the arena ladder. I will say I love the 28 land matchup, even with 27 I feel that makes the land drops still a bit inconsistent to get on explorer (arena moment), even running 2 censors and 2 typhoons and deduces, so I will try to fit in another land

I love watching you play blue white control. You perk up and seem even more engaged and locked in than usual. It's nice to watch you play some decks you clearly really enjoy playing! Plus blue white control is just fun to watch in general lol

@trixlee5102 Ай бұрын

Well, he did get the meta right. In Bo1 however, I am running into Cavern of Souls left and right. I know he's playing a lot of Fields of Ruin and whatnot, but against a Dino tribal deck I was up against 3 Caverns and the game was unwinnable with this counterspell heavy deck. It's still solid, but there are some matches that are almost unwinnable thanks to Cavern of Souls unless you get lucky.

@WitnessedOne Ай бұрын

Look at the matches in the vid as well. He beat a mono red that got him to 3 life even though CGB went first and the opponent had 2 lands the whole game. I dont think this deck is worth playing at all. You can easily win if you draw the perfect answer the whole game but you can also easily lose if you dont... its a really bad deck for ranking up

more UW Control 😼

No my dude, is diferrent deck, and better yet a new CGB video which is awesome

@PoorlyPlayingMagic Ай бұрын

My mistake. I see the alterations now. I was honestly trying to give e a heads up if somebody kind of posted the same video twice.

@paulocampino5045 Ай бұрын

I would say more uw but mostly more variety control videos. Would be nice to see you build control in others colours. We all know that azorius is the more efficient and powerful but there's alot of fun in the rest of the colour pie.

@Tinil0 Ай бұрын

I mean, in game one it makes perfect sense for them to be salty. They literally played perfectly, drew well, and it still didn't matter against Azorius control. That's the nature of Bo1 obviously, but I don't fault them for hating a deck that is designed to prevent you from ever having fun. Azorious control can feel very sadistic and personal.
