☀️ARCHANGEL AVACYN🔥Historic Brawl

[@Maledicus99]

17:27 For anyone wondering, "dies" is defined as "goes from the battlefield to the graveyard", so no, if it gets exiled instead, it doesn't die.

[@lamjeri]

True. black leyline and Rest in piece(s) are great cards to hose Aristocrat strategies for example.

[@TsujiCross]

There’s an interesting caveat, though: Leyline of the Void applies to “cards”, and in MTG jargon tokens aren’t considered cards, so token creatures dying would still trigger death triggers like Avacyn’s transformation. Weird, I know, but that’s how it works :P

[@lamjeri]

@@TsujiCross Wut? Interesting. Now that I'm reading the text more carefully, it also explains why Rest in piece is worded as "card or token". Thank you, that's a really interesting piece of rule advice.

[@Lordidude]

But only non-tokend. The tokens that he had on the field still died.

[@danzoingo]

Historic Brawl is definitely my favorite format from CGB ever

[@musicneverd_es]

That 25 minute game was amazing, great match with quite a few strong plays which lead to an exciting back and forth. I wished more matches would be like that.

[@BuhLake-v2q]

This was my favorite historic build you've made yet. Maybe not hell queue tier 1 but the most unique historic brawl deck and really fun looking

[@Christopher60]

"You guys get excited about a billion Parcelbeasts right?" He knows us too well.

[@thenatergamer]

43:12 All those 2/4 token creatures being created was very scary 😂😂 I probably would have left at that point. Definitely after the number went to 90 and above

[@DannyMcLaneDC]

CGB: we are playing Boros *Wins game with counter spell.

[@giovannishepard653]

I like the self sacrifice idea to trigger the transformation. I built an AA deck based around flash threats, ie resolute reinforcements and such, and try to play it draw go. Dodging sorcery speed removal and board wipes by playing on their end step and holding up Avacyn is honestly more than most decks are equipped to deal wtih.

[@henrygandelman]

I really love the "you're cool, so you can hear this" bit. Gets me every time

[@the_r4ts]

It was funny the first time it played.. but every video after- well- an ad’s an ad

[@ConnorFesenmaier]

Getting the Mana Tithe victory always feels great.

[@kingnoodle8785]

Seeing CGB beam with happiness gives me serotonin

[@olafthemoose9413]

Love the brawl videos. Getting somebody wir the boros countermagic always feels good.

[@beretperson]

>"last card, it can't be that good" >One of the best cards in the game's history.

[@dansterstuff]

7:40 is bliss. This is what us white mages live for

[@reypires4361]

Did the ARCHANGEL AVACYN hit the battlefield in this video?

[@kerryjimenez8200]

The sound of 100 parclebeasts entering the battlefield tho.

[@racvets1]

My favorite play with Avacyn, at GP Pittsburgh, turn 4 I played Gonti, hiding their Avacyn. Turn 5, they played a board wipe, and I played the Avacyn to protect my team.

[@AutkastKain]

I was hoping you'd make this since you have your commander deck of this. Excited to try this!

[@Steelblood27]

My main Commander deck is actually a Boros Soldiers tribal deck around Tajic, Legion's Edge. I jumped into Magic way back when during original Shadow over Innistrad and really wanted to include this version of Avacyn in the other 99 as it matched the Colours. Avacyn actually works really well with this as Taijic makes her card flip a quasi 1 sided board wipe as Tajic prevents non-combat damage to the other soldiers you control - except him of course. Because the rest of the deck are soldiers the flip is fairly easy to proc too....Also swooping in to make your legion of soldiers indestructible at instant speed feels really good too LOL

[@TheHighwayVideo]

45 minutes in and I haven’t seen avacyn hit the table yet…

[@dariengoheen747]

The deck is just solid

[@TheHighwayVideo]

@@dariengoheen747 it’s crazy. You know the deck works when you don’t get your commander out and you’re still competitive

[@dariengoheen747]

@@TheHighwayVideo that's typically how you need to build effective commander decks. Just pick a legendary creature that you wanna be able to get the effect from a few times.

[@Celari]

Made a similar deck, but I added all the creatures that has efffects when they take damage. Like the brash taunter guy and stuff like that. So the 3 dmg to everything actually kills the opponent often.

[@xxskabxx]

GREAAAAAAAAT GAME. Love seeing an actual brawl

[@youngtomato6332]

Love the song reference at the beginning!!!!😊

[@danlewis7707]

I built an AA deck on arena. Actually three different sub par builds. I was super stoked when I saw cgb had built one because he is way less of a scrub than me.

[@hjge1012]

Mana Tithe was the MPV there.

[@jackattackhissnack]

Played standard for a few years. I only play limited and historic brawl now. Love the brawl games.

[@grimmonolith]

Archangel with serious Infernal Spawn of Evil vibes.

[@Hitzel]

Man some of these moments gave me so much anxiety haha

[@TealGaming-fb8bs]

CGB intro hello sounds like my Nana when she answers the phone. 0:17

[@david21216]

Those were some pretty good games, but I was suprised at how well that ran. When the intro was running I was thinking that the deck kinda looked bad (been spoiled with clockman and stuff I suppose).

[@dreadmoc12]

Did he say, slight pause? No no, I believe it was, light paws, which is significantly longer.

[@westwarrior1866]

I have a paper avacyn deck that uses a bunch of boros reckoner effects to do a lot of funky burn while also being able to trigger avacyn and taking advantage of the indestructible and it's such a silly deck I enjoy playing it a lot.

[@beejaytea5964]

it is pretty fun watching scute swarm go off though...

[@njnjhjh8918]

Very cool, cause I had no idea what to put in a deck with her. My real project is to find a weak RW commander and then just put in cards I like.

[@jackattackhissnack]

The tatyova deck showcased why you don't run mana creatures or rocks in tatyova decks. They weren't able to end the game even with multiple turns of tatyova. A well constructed tatyova deck will win 80 percent of the time when it untaps (hyperbolic language for the statistics impaired).

[@cciencin]

I am tilted for your opponents every time Mana Tithe resolves.

[@stirfrysensei]

I love the magic players who instantly scoop the moment their creature dies. Very mature. Good sportsmanship.

[@Kalcifer052]

Removal spam/obession is just as immature. Not fun to play against someone who cant do anything else but play removal (thats most of the mtg arena community)

[@thunderryu0494]

or maybe, and hear me out, they don't care to play through a match where they start out hopelessly behind on turn 3 or 4 when there is literally nothing at stake. You sound like a person who plays S tier decks in unranked and then gets upset when someone scoops to your perfect 1, 2, 3 curve out

[@Kalcifer052]

@@thunderryu0494 dial it back bud, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. It's just a fact that there's a lot of removal spamming in Arena and it is literally not fun to play against no matter what deck is being used. I wanna play magic not watch the opponent play solitaire. If playing against removal tribal is fun for you, then I'm not gunna yuck your yums.

[@anthonyellison5998]

Huh, mono white counterspells coming in clutch!!

[@Senumunu]

i wish there was a good Naya control commander in historic brawl i think Avacyn goes well with a burn out strategy you can hold up stuff like lorehold command while Klothys or cinder vines burns them out

[@fernandonarrias]

Those mana tithe... always feels good to surprise counter...

[@gaberielpendragon]

The fun of giving light paws pro white to drop off all the enchantments is real. Isn't Avacyn plus Chandra -3 a full board wipe?

[@Patronux]

Not to elementals

[@Dexx1s]

Oh, so it's not just me that gets the pause whenever you search text in the deckbuilder. Good to know.

[@nagsorinaste5658]

Yay, nonstandard content :D The only kind I watch xD

[@cubinSD]

The disallow "oops" was due to the knight ranger of eos being saccd at the emd of the opponent's turn so on your turn he would have still been able to counter something else and the sac would have been unnecessary

[@Marksmaan]

CGB planned on dropping Avacyn EoT. So he sac'd there intentionally. The oops was cuz dude forgot about Esper Sentinel and couldn't pay the 1 and Disdainful Stroke. It wasn't a good play and the opponent realized that.

[@cubinSD]

@@Marksmaan ah ok yeah that makes sense.

[@lukeemery9519]

Who knew white could cast so many counter spells

[@jangrokortenhaus3036]

the best thing I've Avacyn! :D

[@marshalledmison3597]

On the battle with Jolan, I am watching now. Why couldnt you have done 3 damage to every monster with Avacyn sacing goldhound then 3 more damage with Chandra to every monster?

[@dreifragezeichen1066]

Came here for this

[@Anarion848]

Avacyn transforms at next upkeep...

[@Patronux]

They are elementals, so Chandra doesn't damage them. And Avacyn transforms at the next upkeep.

[@gabrote42]

Cool video and deck dude.

[@mikerichey9206]

Couldn't you have -3 Chandra, the play Avacyn and goldhound and sack gold hound to do 6 damage to everything during the Tatyova battle?

[@bgm501]

Avacen flips the next turn…

[@mikerichey9206]

Got it. Ty for clarifying.

[@charlesf.7947]

chandra only hits non-elementals

[@Darkeep12]

No one expects the white counterspell.

[@dogninja8]

Archangel Avacyn is my favorite card from SOI

[@meplaygames6524]

that tatyova match could have been a win if you neg chandra deal 3 damage to all creatures then play gold hound play avacyn sac goldhound transform avacyn 3 more damage to all creatures would have wiped his parcel beast army and saved some turns for you

[@jamesking4736]

during the scute swarm copy thing I was just screeming at him...like dude....play avacin, play the dog use chandras -1 and sack the dog and that wipes the board

[@bastokrepublic]

Is a commander bad if you never want to cast it?

[@willmann96]

Some commanders are best in the command zone. The possibility of it being cast can stun lock people. In the case of Avacyn, they may never wipe simply because it wouldn't do anything, and you never even need to actually cast her for her effect to work.

[@JosueHernandez-fy7cl]

Day 3 asking CGB to play historic Brawl with Tamiyo Field Researcher as commander.💛💚💙

[@Ragnar_Freysson]

YES!

[@rancortheimmortal]

Not an Option in his discord vote thingie?

[@Guevon_Pajaro]

No. Stop it. Get some help.

[@odststalker5117]

If only there was one more turn, could have played the avacyn and the goldhound and combo'd the 3 damage with Chandra's 3 damage. There just wasn't a line for it and their deck was drawing perfectly every time

[@edoardopasquini4036]

Played Avacyn in 2 games, hahah amazing

[@TheStanishStudios]

I was JUST starting to brew this once I got her card!

[@captainman7089]

Love the brawl content 👌

[@Chris-yn9lf]

Holy poop shoot Historic Bawl on a TUESDAY!? is it my birthday?

[@astonerdarkly222]

Avacyn sees goldhound being sacrificed during their end step, marks 3 damage on the army during your upkeep, Chandra finishes the job. EDIT: scratch that, there's no end step lol

[@Humatra]

Mana tithe. Scoop, amazing

[@widdletad6957]

Cool commander

[@njnjhjh8918]

Tatyova is pretty much an instant scoop from me

[@alexwienecke2359]

Those early scoops man.... XD

[@BrantMarcksson]

Please don't quit when you're about to take 500+ damage. I really wanted to know how much 😢

[@deaddymez6719]

I have never seen a boros deck with such terrible fucking removal, I am actually shocked

[@luken4133]

It’s disdainful stroke. They would have paid the one on the esper sentinel if it was wash away.

[@jordanshelton8575]

❤❤❤

[@smoolz7818]

Can anyone explain why the scute swarm/ parcel beast tokens etbing isn't considered landfall while they are also lands?

*Nontoken* creatures are lands.

[@piplupz1586]

She was the first card I ever drafted

[@erwinfirschau2973]

you should have played avacyn then activate chandra with three damage to each non elemental the human would die and Avacyn would flip anpther three damage so the parcelbiest would have died or am i wrong?

[@MilesAmodeo]

Make a Chulane-paradox engine deck??

[@TheNaturalnuke]

Mana Tithe the game ender

[@darriuslauster8470]

Why are you playing Fable?

[@DangerCloseMinis]

I feel like you look uncomfortable since getting the new setup. I’m sure it’s just me not being used to the angle but still

[@qmonster7766]

cgb, I love your content, but would you mind going back to the top right of my screen? Just my preference, adding an extra opinion

[@Lukafrcek]

I though in commander you get 40 health

[@bobert555555]

God I hate landfall decks with such a passion. Only Rouge Mill has equaled how much I dispose it. Landfall is such a dumb ability and almost impossible to stop from triggering, and almost guaranteed to happen at least once every turn. And scute swarm should have been banned day 1

[@BadConAngel]

Your opponents were really SOFT this time around.

[@dariengoheen747]

That light paws player deck was terrible

[@alley5911]

Wtf, did the op with Light Paws honestly expect you to just take 7+ lifelinking dmg to the face, repeatedly for more than a turn? It’s so annoying how often people scoop at the first interaction in HB. I wish there was some sort of repercussions to prevent people from scooping at the first sign that you’re actually going to participate in a game of magic with them. Some of these people should be playing solitaire 😂. I feel like I rarely play HB even though it’s my favorite format by far, because everytime I try to play a game I have to reload through 4+ matches that don’t make it past turn 2. It takes less time for me to just round up my brothers and just play in person 😂.

[@odststalker5117]

I hate Light-Paws.

[@im7254]

counterspell destroys his commander for basically free with no defense possible and he's actually proud of it? trash level of human being. counterspell users get only rope, nothing else
