[@EggsAreGood55]

Thankyou past CGB for explaining what a deck is in every intro, without it I would have no idea how to exist.

[@honestabe411]

You say that but there are people who get mad without it

[@EggsAreGood55]

@@honestabe411 Oh no don't get me wrong I love his intros, I'm just poking fun at his prerecorded explanation of *insert deck here*. It's a shame people would get mad about anything like that though

[@honestabe411]

@@EggsAreGood55 most people are NPCs

[@EggsAreGood55]

@@honestabe411 That is very true lol

[@EggsAreGood55]

Throwing Lively Durge into that lifegain deck comepletly turned things around for the opp instantly. Super clever addition, im sure they were super happy to see it payoff that well lol.

[@lordgod9958]

It's been a thing since release in the pioneer version

[@breakingthewall2112]

That's funny CGB hadn't seen lively durge before. It works great in a Mishra meld build. LVD showed the way

[@EggsAreGood55]

@breakingthewall2112 Wow you are super right though. Weirdly enough that's one of the only LVD videos I've seen and it did fit perfectly in it. CGB was very caught off guard though lol.

[@kieranberton7928]

That loss vs the lifegain deck was very interesting to watch considering yesterday's Lifegain deck video, they played very well around the removal spells you had but the lively durge was definitely an unexpected trick that really put them ahead. Thanks for including it even though it was a loss, generally I don't mind seeing losses if the game was very interesting and strategy dense

[@MateoByrd-kg9rf]

He forgot about SaffronGoBlue, just came here from the goldfish channel (for real tho love you CGB!) 2:40

[@L1v3W1r3d]

The deck tech by the editor was perfect, today we are midrange!

[@taylorpayne1993]

AyyyVaacaaaa

[@blobzombie]

As someone who travels at least once a year, traveling long distance across multiple time zone's very rough. Last year I went to South Korea with my family on very little to no sleep. Once we got there, I was great. During travels on the other hand, I'm a major grouch. And then when you return home, you're having to readjust, and jet lag ain't no joke. Took me a full week to recover. Thankfully I had the time to do that. Otherwise I'd have been falling asleep at work. I hope your journey is a most pleasant one, and you see as many facets of Europe as you possibly can! It's a beautiful place, especially Germany.

[@leok723]

Danke!😅🎉

[@themeditatinggamer2264]

14:12 your opponent was oh cmon

[@pineappleshoe]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the editor for carrying the intro. Great work.

[@jstrobel3620]

FYI your Mesa falcon call is actually a Red-tailed Hawk

[@Orudaiken]

Caustic bronco seems like you could replace it with a 3/2 haste and have a better time.

[@rlhm-fk8id]

That last match def the most intense one

[@TheRensvind]

Have to say that the vacation intro is pure gold

[@santiagojimenezaguilar7185]

CGB making all midrange decks these days 😂❤

[@michaelboyer7253]

I do hope the meta shifts to a more midrange friendly state with the rotation and subsequent bans.

[@marcuscooper128]

CGB - Will take a dozen damage from a Fleshgorger, won't run a removal that could kill it that only costs two damage...

[@ryanking7147]

Technically it’s at least 5 damage because of the 3 from the ward. Or 9 if they have the full cost version. But I get what you mean.

[@George04957]

I loved using Mishra dragon engine combo and giving Mishra haste to get the transform right away.

[@Julietsavenged44]

Thank you editor!!! Love the notes! It makes the repeat intro so much more fun!! Thanks to everyone involved for doing what you do!! Have an awesome break CGB! You deserve it!

[@kingjade]

Today's like is sponsored by the editor because today we're midrange.

[@dafewger]

Omg CGB, I saw you on Disney's The Acolyte!

[@AeonOfChaos]

love how you went from standard to brawl fiend

[@kumpera]

Best deck intro ever!

[@andrecruz04]

The derank match-up... The pride game. I usually lose 5+ more pride games and get deranked twice.

[@codesmithBits]

This is the most learning intro so far ;)

[@blurglebox]

trying to remember which glorious video had the 500k dmg risen reef combo, i watched it back in the day but wanna relive some of the glory days of jank week/busted decks. Anyone have a link?

[@KodasGarden]

oof unlucky the whole time, it's hard to tell how good this is based on these games

[@GFY_FOAD]

The game is rigged and manipulated - complete BS

[@imaginarymatter]

Flying on red creatures makes sense because it's a real Drag On their opponents.

[@cmolodiets]

you realized what it is to play midrange in standard now

[@zeka2255]

Can someone please explain what's the reasoning behind not using Go For The Throat on Phyrexian Fleshgorger?

[@zeka2255]

CGB gave like 6 life to opponent, lost the blocker and some life.

[@jorjor500]

Flesh gorger is an artifact creature which means go for the throat can’t remove it.

[@thaddiusblackmore6563]

Hot take: vadmir makes a better choice over caustic bronco

[@FrenchCanadianGuy]

Just a splash of red

[@ClockworkEngineer]

There's no reason for red to be in here.

[@jefff6007]

the reason is content

[@Fauna_CR]

No reason for you to be here either, yet here you are.

[@George04957]

Rakdos deck. Has 2 red cards

[@kylesmith987]

What youtuber covers magic content and ends in go blue? I only know Mesa Falcon Guy.

[@MP737373]

How exciting another "good black cards x something else" deck

[@adriadelafuente3648]

hey mesa falcon guy, those videos are too short, have a good vacation nonetheless. c:

[@nicolasraffaele2489]

thanks!

[@DannyMcLaneDC]

😅 the hilarious thing about this, is what he lacks in specificity is totally made up for by witty commentary. Thank you for leaving us a game token while you're traveling, thinking about your viewers while you're out having fun🎉

[@PlaneswalkerChris-ms9iq]

Is it a CGB deck? Does it have black? Better have a bronco ...

[@odststalker5117]

Rakdos is best dos

[@ItsDangerousGoAlone]

Well the farthest right cards is something called lands, and there is a bunch of them, they must be the most expensive cards to your control deck.

[@johnrobertson1]

I genuinely don’t understand how Voice of the Blessed players aren’t bored of playing ‘creature, attack, go’ for years now.

[@johnrutherford2545]

You’ve just described every archetype outside of combo and control.

[@somethingsomething9006]

It's kind of the fast food of MtG, instantly rewarding and gets the job done conveniently, but it doesn't feel good to have too much of it

[@Fauna_CR]

You're right! More people should be playing Boros Convoke, then they have the option between either attacking with their creatures or tapping them either to Warden of the Inner Sky or Knight Errant of Eos.

[@johnrobertson1]

@@johnrutherford2545 I'm not sure there's one as simple and strategy-free, though.

Jesus it’s rotating soon get good

[@macheesmo3]

As usual you have too little removal

[@jmoney9494]

Include too much and they will match you against a deck with no creatures

I mean how long does it take to film the intro for every video. It feels so lacy how it is done with this intro here. Kind of disappointed 😞 Don´t really want to watch a video he does not even care to film an intro for.
