Pretty sure that's the same mono blue deck i played a bunch a couple weeks before mkm was released. IIRC the only rare is a single otawara. Super budget friendly
I had someone concede at over 50 life a couple of days ago. It was that Orzhov aggro lifegain deck with Amalia, Gumdrop Poisoner, etc. I guess they just didn't want to play a long game.
I had an opponent one time that had a fully assembled Faceless Haven + Mutavault combo resign while I had one card left in my library. Arena players are soft, that's all there is to it.
Where do those content creators find all those paid actors, right? 😅 Although life doesn't really mean much until you're at 0. Just the last game I played today, I fellt to 1 and still combo-scammed the opp out of their remaining 16 life for exactsies once I untapped with that stupid Calendar+AWBO brew I like.
@@canis39that’s a combo deck not aggro. It relies heavily on the engine to get as much land out as possible with life gain and recursion playing big roles in the match up versus aggro and control respectively. Then once you stick persistence or a big ass angel, maybe swarm the board with mites. People play it too low to the ground, it’s two biggest resources guarantied land and life so you need more top end to benefit from that. Playing it like a midrange deck in best of three is really solid, side board in Loren for lockdowns and what not. It might want a third colour like red for lightning helix and angel of wrath.
Against your Mono-Red match up at 30:00, Rona is a massive mana engine for the deck. I believe it would have been best to play her into Titania, as she keeps untapping with each Legendary Creature and then hold up Otawara.
@@honestabe411First off, nonmelded Titania already dies to removal and still makes the cut. Second, it gets tremendous value on ETB, so if they burn removal on it you've still reclaimed all the lands you've pitched the entire game
Not necessarily. They didn't have a stop in upkeep/draw steps. So it definitely wasn't full control. I think it was an emperor that was useless because of the Plaza. Also the creature land held priority, so no necessity for full control.
@@Lordidude I know it wasn't actually, but the way they were holding priority and slowly ticking through the steps until they died was hilarious. I choose to live with the head cannon that it was a land and they were holding priority as a last ditch bluff effort
I loved the analysis at the end. I'd love to learn more about deck "ceilings" and how to figure out what they really are, how to know whether you're already hitting them or you can still break them with some creative tech. I feel like it's a huge gap in my understanding, and I don't see any content creators who really address it. Everyone talks a lot about how good decks work, but I'm also very curious to know why *bad* decks *don't* work.
When the best legendary cards (planeswalkers and creatures) are in white and you deliberately chooses not to play white in you legendary deck is wild to me 😂😂😂
I mean, of course CGB is a great player that can do awesome plays even with bad decks, but the rotation is really needed because the meta is just boring. Sometimes I prefer the Brawl videos because of the "variety""
Third time asking @ConvertGoBlue CGB to play a standard naya token control list before Incandescent Aria rotates. I also love the "playing the worst decks series" being a tier 5 player myself cuz it's fun to win against top tier decks with a low win rate home brew decks.
Ending comments: every now and then you and other RU-vidrs play some deck that had recently won some weekend 5-0 or tournament etc. i.e. Someone brewed something new. So, even though a meta always seems "established", sometimes decks breakthrough. Even I *never* play with established decks and brew >50% winrate random decks. It's difficult. And many never leave the drawing board. But the viewers, I believe, are just requesting your expertise to overview another deck. Funny thing is in many you actually comment exactly that at the end of video: "I'd remove this and add 4 of these. *This* is the card". And basically, we want you to play *that* version. Have a good one!
CGB, what about playing the worst control deck? But no, he saw Slogurk and went for it. As much as i hate the whole legends archetype at least the overslime is a cool card.
