I see mythic mindgames for card sleeves and avatars having no thematic ties to the actual deck are alive and well 😂

@Moose00019 6 ай бұрын

I just use my Favorite avatar, and the latest sleeve and companion. Quite unassuming no matter what I play on ladder. Brawl, absoLUTELY be themed out

I just use Urza avatar, The One Ring pet and Ugin animated sleeves for everything. But yes, I do play blue a lot. And I'm also named Daniel. I do hope I make this dojo proud.

@dcnole 6 ай бұрын

You had been talking about making some "different" videos to add some variety to your daily grind. I would personally find it really interesting for you to record some really challenging games with this deck and then give a "control master class" on your decision-making step by step in those games. Pause the gameplay. Talk through scenarios in a little more detail than you have time to do in the midst of the Arena ticking clock, etc. When you play control, you make so many choices that I (an infrequent and lousy control player) would never make. I'm sure some others feel similarly. Much to learn.

@dcnole 6 ай бұрын

@@covertgoblue You're probably right. I guess the question is whether ensuring you keep having fun and avoid burn out making content warrants occasionally taking an engagement hit to put out a cool video that a subset of your fans/subs would really love and, most importantly, you would really enjoy making. (That's more of a general point than just my particular idea. I imagine you might like making a "control master class" sort of video, but I'm certainly not presuming to speak for you.)

@EQArpeggio 6 ай бұрын

My favorite part of your videos is listening to you talk about your decision making process. I love it sometimes when you let the rope burn and think! Especially when you're telling us what you're deciding upon. I've played Magic for a long time, but am constantly amazed at how much you know about each and every opponent's deck!

@aquarius3764 6 ай бұрын

I think Faithful Mending is one of the best friends of control mages in Bo1. I recall that all of my cases of super winrates with UW or Esper control (like 80-90% in 20+ games) were with that card included. It gives so much stability when you have cards which are super good vs agro but bad vs control and vice versa. Also helps a lot with hitting lands. And only stability in the deck grants good WR in the long run.

Man, that match that starts at 23:27 was like watching someone ace the final boss of Magic. From like turn 3 all they did was slam rares and mythic rares every single turn. It was just all gas, no breaks from then on. I know rarity isn't everything, but what kind of luck do you have to have to line that many must-answer threats up in a row and still lose? Damn, he's good.

Blue white control is what CGB enjoys most in Arena Standard, so I hope you enjoyed making the video. I still watch CGB even though I gave up on Arena. Without spoiling, I wanted the last player to show more of their deck as I’m not super familiar with Standard anymore.

I actually went against this deck earlier today. I'm 100% sure it was not against you because I didn't geek out. I ALMOST beat it with a high creature count mono red deck. Dissipate and Lockdown did annoy the poo out of me. Ultimately, it was the Wandering Emperor + Restless Anchorage was the killer though.

I truly dislike blue/white control from the bottom of my heart. But darn it, I love seeing you play it with such awareness and brilliance. Such a well-built deck in a format that seems to want to dishearten all (blue-based) control decks. And while this sample was fantastic to see I imagine Boros humans and mono red can still frustrate the deck if you didn't draw the right counters. Great content CGB, you're cool!

I been trying something along this line, but imo counterspells simply dont cut it, they help a lot in the odd chance you go against another jace mill strat, but 99% of the time they are dead cards against the critter vomit the meta has devolved even further into. Much better to just stock up on the new 4 mana wrath and wipe the board 2 or three times in a row.
