This is a huge turning point in CGB’s MTG journey! His hatred for mono-red has led him to see the light of life gain 😇

Resplendent Angel is one of my favorite cards ever printed

CGB is singlehandedly the only person keeping me playing Standard

This decks looks like it CRUSHES mono red. Even their good draws when they're on the play. Definitely going to play this one.

I like that the first oppo called “WhoRlyCares” plays it out to the last deluge.

Yesterday I played an explorer game with an Orzhov angels lifegain deck I just made and played an opponent with probably 95% the same deck. The game took like 45 minutes and ended in a draw. He got the faceless haven/book of exalted deeds combo, but I was at 1756 life to his -705 at the draw. I also had the same combo in my library waiting to be drawn lol (thanks to an older video that I watched from this channel)! The turn he decided to finally block the attack lasted well over 30 seconds and most of it took place off screen. The draw was because his blocks resulted in 148 triggers on Bishop of Wings, which each one triggered 4 times 4 life gain. He was going to gain over 2300 life that turn! He got from -1133 to -705 then the draw happened from timeouts with 122 of the 148 triggers (each times 4 still) not done. Nothing was in either graveyard. It was majestic. I know CGB and any fans of his would appreciate this and thanks if you read all the way!

Resplendent Angel reminds me of when I first played standard, not sure how meta it was but because I played a Ajani Pridemate cat lifegain deck it was mirrors everywhere. Games were just two huge Pridemates hitting each other and ending with ridiculous stalemates were players had over 1k life.

That last game is the type of battle I like watching 😎 Kudos on the dope deckbuild!

I'd love to see what CGB could do with the millennium calendar

i really enjoyed this video :) i just cheer for life gain decks and it is great to see, a new version that might be playable in standard and gives me a a view new additions out of the new set for my commander collection :D

Loved the wrap up conversation!

Angels and Clerics. A timeless combo

Lifegain was my first fav deck when I started playing and it was so strong at the time with cards like Heliod, Daxos, Linden, Alseid, Speaker, Righteous Valk, Skyclave Maul and I even played boros sometimes for the hmm… Blade Historian (?) that could give double strike to someone 😌

Dude that opening is soo lit!

Fun stuff! :D I really liked using the Thran Portal for mana fixing in my lifegain brew since the damage is far less significant. Amalia and Voice are monsters and I'd love to make a lifegain deck that can actually compete with domain.Thanks for the video!

CGB single handedly got me into standard

Interesting take on lifegain! Really like the deck

CGB bringing back a classic OutKast song. Nice!

Liking this before I even see the games. This is one of my fav archetypes! May get me back into Arena for this :)

"Ward - Pay 3 Life." It is such a beating 😂

CGB is probably the only person who could get me back on Arena.

I was doing Mono White Healing Soldiers... Switched to trying to incorporate Sheoldred with no luck, but this helps a lot

Damn, I didn't notice the resplendent angel was back in Ixalan. It brings back some fond memories!

It feels great to see you farming the red decks. I feel it is time to do the same.

CGB with the sneaky OutKast reference.

While orzhov does seem better on paper I've found better succes with seles leveraging augar and sigarda for card advantage. Playing off the top also makes resplendant more viable without bishop making life easy.

love this

Got my a** kicked a couple times today by this deck. Thanks a lot CGB 🤣 But nah you have a strong following and people love your decks. They are effective for sure 🔥

Ive being playing life gain even before Ixalan, and MRed scooped at 3rd turn some times.

Be-na-v-des a-gui-re

Thought about doing a throne with cleric tribal and the draw card angel cleric

The first match was just a guy making his death as slow as possible.

CGB low key singing a Magic themed cover of NiN’s Perfect Drug has just about made my evening 😂

Hi! What is the app for matchup analytics in the end of the video?

I like this deck because it is full of removal that incidentally gains life. Prob does just as well without as many lifegain payoffs

"I wanted to play my game!" I actually laughed out loud at this. Unless your game is "constant removal" you don't get to play any game in Magic Arena. :)

Actually cool deck

The one in best of one is back in standard!

As a control player myself, I truly cannot wait until Wandering Emperor rotates out

9:00 I would have attaced with the fortress for the drain 2 trigger

I like that rank 69 is briefly shown. Nice

I really want to see a Abzan life gain deck

Deep Cavern Bat could be interesting in this type of deck. The little bat helps with life gain and can exile a sweeper or removal from opponent's hand.

Which Johnny-bait line is more likely to actually come up in games: The "exactly 20 power" on Amalia or the 1000 time counters on Millennium Calendar?

that lst game was nuts

I crafted this deck and life has been hell since then. :( solid 37% winrate

I struggle with the rare wildcards... Need about 10 gold cards just to get the same mana... another 8 to finish creatures

TAINTED REMEDY REJOICING

you're cool CGB

Amalia - BEN-AH-VEE-DESS is how you pronounce it

If it clowns on Brain Dead Mono Red, it gets my stamp of approval.

I know you said no questions, but where are the "no questions" sleeves haha

Yes! I'm always looking for decent decks that absolutely obliterate mono red.

Life gains come to hunt mono red, now a question is your hate for monored overcome the boredon of life gain in previusly sets?

here, take my wildcards!

Down with mono red!

Wait, what are you doing down in Platinum?

Yorion and gin is still in standard?

Hopefully, Wizards will bring back my Torgaar one day.

It’s coming …. 5:13

Honestly if it lets me beat mono red I’ll play it

Any deck that beats mono red is a good deck in my book...

cgb dropping andre 3k lyrics lmao

Does anything even rotate out these days? I thought a lot of the cards opponents have been playing would have been gone by now.

I'll play this in standard just to keep mono red out of mythic 😂

Anything to get a win over Mono Red eh CGB?

Wow 2 mana life gain

So many early scoops by opponents in here

What about HB?!))))

I miss Jinny-G

When did cbg turn into James bottomtooth? 🤪

Game one Opp draw go and does nothing lol But I guess they don’t really care

Life gain? More like the lifepainfully most boring archtype! You're lucky you're a joy to watch, CGB. ;-)

Amalia seems like something for legends. getting extra lands and selection might be better than rona for that deck.

You absolute liar! I feel so betrayed by you CGB! You owe some so many wildcards for building this! 2-12

hi cgb please bring mechtitan back this set

standard is back on the menu boys!

Tip: Google translate will give you the correct spanish pronunciation ;)

But CGB, you hate lifegain :(

Day 12 of asking CGB to play The Locust god

I call bullshit on going 8-1. Arena hoses your deck, rigging your matches and draws and opening hand.

ngl, im kinda bitter this video made me spent wildcards on gumdrop pos. Such a useless card.

9:34 What’s interesting is why the hell you didn’t just attack and win that’s the real interesting thing WTFL O LLMAO mail while mouth mayo lol lol now

I love it how mono colored decks, control decks get humiliated not only on this channel but all mtg arena channels web wide😂 And these mono players suck at creating unique ingame names & I love how salty/bitter they are😂😂

One of the worst decks I've played so far.

Why not show games where you loose as you must have with this deck as the mana base are horrible.

This deck completely fails the current standard meta because standard is currently filled to the brim with board wipes that this deck has no answer for as well as enchantments which this deck can't remove.

I don't critique you much, but you can turn off the ability to record your system sounds.

WHY DON'T YOU APPLY STYLES????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No new Resplendent Angel Art? UNSUBSCRIBE

Ngl, life gain is for wusses in mtg arena. Soon as i see one of the staple cards im out. Not gonna sit here and let them pretend theyre good

This deck sucks, I don't know how you got an 8-1, you should play under another account that isn't preferred and see what the meta actually allows.

I see sheoldred I skip

Now im one of those guys. This deck fucking sucks. The only thing you can win against is Mono red

life gain is gross

Deck is to weak for meta, again.

Another clickbait trash deck from "The one in best of one"😂😂😂

This is not a life gain deck. He’s in turn 5 with only 19 life first game. This is the definition of not a life gain deck

What a lie the title to this video is. How is this life gain? Life gain hasn’t been a thing in standard since Cleric Class was legal.
