🔥🌳 500 IQ ZERO MISPLAYS | Gruul Aggro | Standard

[@covertgoblue]

Keep posting timestamps for sound issues, I am back in the studio, trying to figure this out, some videos are way worse than others. I had to record most of the last week's videos in one day and couldn't correct issues like sound and camera

[@PooJdotEXE]

Unsure if you're on a single or double pc setup for recording but this can happen when using elgato capture cards.

[@RmFrZQ]

[15:09] Sound issues. [16:44] Sound issues and noticeable video lag. Could it be the reason for the audio problems? [16:54] Sound issues. Right after pause that was edited out from the video. [18:26] Sound issues. [18:40] Sound issues. [34:29] Sound issues. [52:05] Sound issues. [57:54] Sound issues. [01:01:54] Sound issues. [01:08:24] Sound issues. [01:13:54] Sound issues. It looked like the game had lower priority than some other system process. You should try to switch to "High performance" profile (Control Panel > Power Management applet), to rule out CPU going into powersave mode and switching to lower frequencies. This could explain sporadic nature of these sound issues.

[@FilmColossus]

@@RmFrZQ I can’t hear any of these?

[@paulgrant8144]

I haven’t played magic in at least three weeks, probably closer to five weeks, yet I still have not missed a CGB video in almost 2 years. The entertainment continues even when magic get stale!

[@Hitzel]

yo same. well sorta. i still play other formats in paper =P

[@paulgrant8144]

@@shaftlamer I get what you’re saying because a new set came out and everything, but when you’ve been playing for years in a row, eventually need a break. It’s happened to me multiple times I’ve been playing for over 20 years

[@pxully5914]

from a fellow paul to another, I love watching magic. Idk I just find peace amongst CGB making people contemplate if their deck is good or not haha

[@paulgrant8144]

P.S. That last game was such combination of stupid and long and entertaining...I'm glad you timed out otherwise that game would have been 35 minutes shorter lol

[@zombieninjapitbull3856]

The first guy you played, Scanlan shorthalt, has a giant cube for his... well nevermind. In fact it's better that you don't know Scanlan.

[@gardnering]

This last game was possibly one of my favorite games I've ever seen. There were swings in fortune, there was drama, there was a little humility from CGB. It was pure content! Your opponent was no slouch and played a great game.

[@ZeroOneBimon]

But 88 is a Bad sign. Great that CGB beat the nazi

[@gardnering]

Is that a nazi thing? Doh!

[@HxCGamers314]

@@gardnering I imagine he was born in 88, that's the more likely meaning.

[@anthonyellison5998]

This has been one of the games that highlights the struggles you go through to keep us entertained and I hope you had a good trip CGB. I love everything u do for us and it shows just how cool you are.

[@michaelgrandchamp1067]

Stayed until the end, and can confirm a hard 0 misplay count on this one!

[@ChrisRS7]

Last game was hilarious 🤣 - The ghost of "Blood on the Snow" lingering for the whole duration of an epic battle with the opponent and himself 😉. I wonder how many copies they had in the deck.

[@scorpninja3492]

Critical Role shout out! I love the Scanlan shout out in MTGA!

[@elementalg9434]

tbh, kinda surprised not as many people in the comments picked up on it

[@t-dogn6171]

Thanks CGB. Appreciate you taking the time to generate these videos before your trip.

[@dylanpeden7282]

You say that last game is painful to post but those are the ones I like the most. Seeing mistakes and even more so seeing how to overcome them teaches me more than anything. Thanks for putting it up.

[@fablerh2476]

Something about your way of talking when you play Gruul makes me very happy :D GRUUL TOO STRONG!

[@Randoman590]

43:36 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he could have gotten a bit closer to lethal there? Play Raiju, crew Chariot with Wolf and Goro, attack with Chariot and Raiju, triggers put counters on Wolf and Goro, Raiju damage trigger deals 3? Raiju doesn't count itself for the "number of other modified creatures", and the Chariot wasn't counting towards the Creature count while it's not crewed. In In this case it would bring the Opponent to 1 so he would still be just barely short, but it's worth keeping in mind for other games where it could make the difference.

[@timothybartlett5493]

Stayed till the end! That last game was AWESOME!

[@jacksamson5968]

Me piloting the deck: 500 zero IQ misplays

[@TheGhostclimber]

I gotta say the Kami's Flare timeout was hilarious! I love CBG's explanations and don't usually mind the time he takes to think, but this only proves how of a control mage he is.

[@szw1337]

Can’t believe you played The Scanlan Shorthault!

[@d1morto]

CGB must not be a Critical Role fan.

[@noidboi154]

Ahhhhh the timeout in final game was tragic! However your reaction was hilarious. Thank you for the great videos!!!

[@travisjohnson6703]

Only way to beat Naya Runes with creatures is to tempo them out with cheap removal and fast creatures. Hence mono-white STILL being on top of the meta...gorram taxes and Cathars.

[@kgx8805]

Another thing that's back on the menu are yoink effects in Bo3. Claim the Firstborn was always amazing against Aura's and this deck is not really different.

[@dr.zoidberg8666]

I've achieved the same with ninja tribal. Fading hope feels bad when it sends back your 10/10 with 3 runes on it.

[@SeriousPaul1369]

As always love the way you entertain me! I try my best to watch every video every day from start to finish. Hands down my favorite content creator!

[@kd7jhd]

Stayed to the end. What a roller coaster! Especially that last game.

[@loganhallett2589]

Always stay till the end. That last match was a grind. You're the coolest!

[@Bluecho4]

A tense final match. Good work, CGB.

[@meliquidlightning]

it was so freaking hilarious to see you keep talking after the scoope hahaha great content CGB keep up the good work n_n

[@Cinetyk]

Thanks a lot for all the videos, been enjoying all of the decks. That last match was awesome and epic. It's also very awesome and important all the pre-matches deck tech and the play by play commentary. I guess it goes without saying but that's what makes me improve my Magic play. Thank you!

[@marcelm.1941]

Epic final match recovering from some difficult position. you are awesome Sensei! Learn a lot from you (even with occasional mistakes). Cheers

[@alejandrojimenezcarceles9061]

I stayed until the end and pleeeease, keep doing these videos. I enjoy every moment of it (even if is not azorius control)

[@James-ly6vz]

You recovered on your mistakes so well on the last game. You deserved the win.

[@MrDiogosantos1234]

That last game was such a blast. You are cool!

[@williamwalton9154]

Until the end. That last game makes a nice case for our new snake druid being in every green deck as a back up plan.

[@edkolbe1850]

I've been experimenting with the channel boar that gives +3/+1 and trample in mono red. With Lizard Blades it hits harder than Embercleave. For Boomers it's the closest thing to Ghor-clan Rampager we have gotten.

[@jbancroftconnors]

Stayed to the very end. What an epic battle against Mono black. Gruul overruns.

[@cmfrtbly_nmb]

God that last match was such a slog. You have more grit than me good sir, I would have shame-scooped after the Kami's flare misplay

[@donnaniemietz9965]

Last game was so awesome! A legit nail biter!!

[@jjangles]

Yo Scanlan represent CR!

[@youreatowel1103]

That final battle was an EPIC perfectly played battle.

[@josephcourtright8071]

RippeR88 really got inside your head. Truly your nemesis.

[@SmugAmerican]

He finally timed out and got punished for roping the crap out of his opponent.

[@DrJAFox]

I had to watch the video in three separate segments - but it was worth it.

[@xxRxIxKxSxx]

I know you are doing the time stamps for certain reasons but been curious if you could start doing chapters, chapters are a great way to have each game labeled easy to find and it helps clean up descriptions space. Plus I really find it useful so I know what games I wanna go back and watch

[@1337AceOfSpades1337]

Jesus that last game went on forever!

[@Chace957]

Definitely stayed till the end. That last game 😂

[@gregw5731]

Stayed till the end. Last game was really fun to watch.

[@grimmonolith]

Thank you for making this video - as always I'll see you in the next one. You're cool.

[@PTNLemay]

30:20 I was playing Enchantment Smash vs a Dimir deck. And he pulls that Beholder card that can dip into the opponent's deck. He had a very comfortable land lead over me (something like 8 vs 4). And he starts pulling all of my own win conditions. The life-gain rune, the trample rune, Michiko, and a Ranger Class just to rub salt in the wound. Next turn his Beholder becomes an unstoppable 12/13 life-gaining menace. Goes from 5 life to 17. And that's game. Super annoying, but he must have felt very satisfied with that turn around.

[@drewconsylman8724]

CGB you said you were cringe but I loved all these videos 😂 super sweet decks

[@wongy81]

Stayed till the end @covertgoblue epic finish mate thankyou for the entertainment

[@Basoosh]

Last opponent has to be cursing the shuffler for no board wipes in their top 35.

[@triumphssbu4396]

Who else here harmonized with CGB when he let out that painful "NOOO" during the final game?

[@apolosecki]

"I gotta strech more before even-money-dabbing, could definitely damage myself"

[@jostwilker4454]

Predator seems to be a good answer to createre and sweeper decks in the current meta without divide. I created a moisture gruul version with it and integrated negates in it to protect the dragons. Predator is also good to attack graveyard.

[@redgoesface1671]

Always watch until the end. That game against mono black was rough but you're always doing great. Mistakes happen. Keep on keeping on.

[@bensantos7361]

Perk of watching covert go blue: You always know what deck ur enemies are playing

Great streams brotha! Watch them everyday while playing myself 😂

[@GreekMorpheous]

party beats enchantments. Sometimes modern problems require standard 22 solutions

[@extreme244]

nice deck man. i think snakeskin veil is missing for this list for sure to protection for your Raiju and Goldspan Dragon. Also modifies which is nice. Kamis Flare seem kinda bad so that would be my replacement.

Last game was great) was laughing) thanks )

[@patrickjansen8449]

I see most of your post you are great CJB.

[@shabanov42]

38 minutes, cgb said "final boss". I looked at time of video and understand, that there will be something epic.

[@daveztop5451]

What a grueling battle at the end 😉

[@jinxsiemcdeath6250]

8:00 Had your opponent not conceded, the play was clearly double Thundering Raiju swing for lethal.

tat last game was insane haha

[@robnotwicz7002]

That last game was BRUTAL

[@devontufts1291]

CGB I'm not sure you're aware how much view time your obstacles add to the video. It's a standard CGB video where many look at the video and watch the first game and then allow the rest to play in the background. But When you hit the enchantment deck and lose, the viewer wants to see you match up against it again and win. Your miss play in the final boss added another 30min of watch time and compelled at least myself to see it to the end, and watch another video of yours after. GGs :)

[@canis39]

That last game was pretty crazy! Of course we stayed til the end, what kind of people don't stay til the end?!

[@oncrn4673]

I don't want to accuse anyone of anything, but I sure am glad you defeated the guy with 88 on his name and Germany flag sleeves.

[@Denjia]

Oh yeah that's a little sus

[@aycaramba4910]

I don't want to accuse anyone of anything, but I accuse someone of something... It really pisses me off that we as Germans can't be using our national flag without being called Nazis. Maybe he's just born in 1988? I bet you wouldn't have made those assumptions if he wasn't German and that's just not fair.

[@Xgya2000]

Remember when you said every deck needed a way to stop board locks in this meta? I don't see it in this deck? What card is supposed to help you do this, and how?

[@bobakmoezziwexpert1473]

Not blocking with the wolf token could win you the game on the way back 43:04 :)

[@arlanengin6904]

CGB: you never know what you’re gonna get for this first round CGB trying to read the opponents username: Skaan laan short halt… whatever me cackling because Scanlan Shorthalt is a critical role character (the dnd group) 😂😂😂 who you know what - is living up to his reputation by indeed not being what you’d expect or where you’d expect him
