BRUTAL TREACHERY | Stealing Lands in MTG Arena

[@dnthymamai]

Oh my GOD man! From 21:05 when you say "what's the play" until 22:47 "time to take over!" is the best thing, the actual reason I prefer watching your videos the most. The explanation of why to steal this instead of that. The enemy's resources, with the possibility of Little Teferi bouncing back his Ooze, I would have never thought of that that moment if it happened to me. But you didn't got scared about the might of Ooze, you know that you could steal Shalai and Ooze later, (or what you did with denying them lands and chump blocking) while at the same time denying them that 5th land first. You are the best CGB!!! As I've said before: You make us better players!! Thank you

[@covertgoblue]

I am glad it helps

[@benderz3501]

Big power of luck;)

[@qwerty1271780]

When you reach into someone's hand and take their card, it's despicable. When you reach across and take their creature, It's a crime against humanity. When you reach over, and steal ALL their lands, God looks down and says, "Dude, chill out."

Nah, I'm pretty sure what he says is, "Shame on you".

My favorite MTG streamer, and it's all in the decision-making descriptions. Also the decks and the general feel/attitude he brings is good.

[@rasolyo]

Loving this deck. I've named mine Steal Leaf Champion.

[@danshariNecro]

dude your videos are relaxing as f thank you very much for the great content annd your great personality

[@estebanrodriguez5409]

I love Dimir, it's nice to see some of it... seems this days everyone is playing Esper if they want to control...

[@afspeellijstnaruto]

i play constanlty against dimir decks and the occasional added white ...i hate blue with all my heart and often refuse to even play it XD

[@Enaluxeme]

So you seize the means of production?

[@Trevorious2010]

I drafted agent of treachery and the blue artifact portal thing that lets you bounce your creatures. it was so much fun! I was like "Thats a nice omnath you have there...." yoink!

[@Omfg18yo]

What do you think about adding more reanimation tools like connive // concoct to this deck for consistency?

[@covertgoblue]

If you like go for it. I was happy to cast agent for seven if I drew the game out that far

[@ReaperCore15]

Finally someone who doesn't insult, scream or just say random shit... good job man ! be sure to watch more.

[@ZorroDk]

This is definitely worth crafting. It is my go-to-deck at the moment and has been for weeks now :) I watch the videos every day and consider whether to play the deck showcased. This one has by far been the best experience yet. I recommend it :)

[@Trevorious2010]

Hey, I love this deck and want to craft it but I'm worried about rotation in the fall. Are there any cards that are being rotated out? If so, do you think this deck will still have legs, post rotation?

[@eliiii2791]

Dude your voice is just the perfect ASMR after a rough day! Keep these coming!

[@Firespark81]

"Don't tell me how to pronounce things" Freaking love it! I do the same thing. I'm like I'll call it whatever I want, cause I don't care lmao. Plus it's funny to watch people rage out in the comments.

[@covertgoblue]

KZbinrs know

[@feelingveryattackedrn5750]

For gameplay vids like these, is there a deck tech portion that you recorded somewhere on twitch that doesn't make it into the vid or do you just not usually record that? I've seen Dimir Reanimate before but not with Quasi so it'd be interesting to see you putting this one together. Nice haircut btw!

[@covertgoblue]

Huh? I talk about the deck at the start. If you mean a video of me putting it together, no, that is either me with a notebook at night or pure netdecking , I usually mention the source if I netdecked

[@feelingveryattackedrn5750]

@@covertgoblue Yeah the second part! And okay no problem. I remember you mentioning sources like Yoman5 before so for this one wasn't sure if you had built it on stream.

[@RockEsper]

I was kind of worried we wouldn't get to see the combo, given the shorter videos for now, but you friggin went to town with those agents haha

[@Th3M4k40n]

You could possibly put in an Elvish Reclaimer since you're discarding so many lands :) Great deck! I really love these neat ideas and watching you excel with them

[@tremackin]

I play a deck where I do this for Lotus then Final Parting Worldshaper and BfB's him for a revived creature and get all my lands back :)

[@LemonCookies]

I added something truly diabolical to this deck. My favorite strategy. Mill. Draw 3 cards. 3 PYCHIC CORROSION TRIGGERS. 3 AGENTS. 9 TRIGGERS. Ive named my deck. Steelmill.

[@dcnole]

This deck is evil. I love it.

[@LegitArchitecture]

I made this deck! After I saw your other Reanimator deck and trying it out, I realised I was decking out a lot. I took out drakuseth and added 2x jace to make it a self mill deck. I've kept in some thought erasures but perhaps in the current meta, the tyrants scorn is better. I've exchanged quasiduplucate for sirens ruse, which will admittedly cycle soon, but is cheaper and I feel the 1UU cost is excessive for blue mana (I know Jace is even worse, but that is usually played last turn). I would like to see some 3-drop removal, maybe counterspells or even quenches added. Lastly, I love that stitchers supplier is OUT. I've had the worst luck with it.

[@maxxp0wer1]

If you ran omniscience and scholar of the ages could you go infinite with this deck?

[@covertgoblue]

Sounds like more than is needed

[@Slithy]

@@covertgoblue You can never run enough fun and memes though :D

[@kronksstronkstonks6360]

Do you think exchanging the two fblthp for Masterminds Acquisition would be viable? Having planeswalker hate, contempt and jade in the sideboard to give a more rounded suite of removal just in case their opponent gets their legs underneath them again or you begin to deck yourself?

[@ZeroStings]

Had to try the deck and it's amazing. 15/17 games won.

[@mattd3978]

Awesome deck man!! Dimir is my fave two color and making people tilt is second only to my love of milling

[@sanguinegaze]

Oh man, I just discovered you and your content is SOOOO good, keep it coming and get ready for 100K subscribers bro. Woooo!

Bruh... looking like the Rob Gronkowski of Magic. Also, super great content!

[@bugfish5979]

That was also my first thought as I saw his new haircut!😅

[@garvamel]

This implementation looks awesome. I'm currently playing Mogwai's' "Bones Reanimator" and it's fun as hell, but once I get the wildcards I'm missing (for Quasiduplicate), I'll give this one a go for sure, it looks a bit faster. Do you think Spark double fits somehow, to increase chances of copying? Thank you for such a great video!

[@rongonzales5636]

This deck is brutal...I went 8-1 before I stopped playing...Nice Deck Idea!!!!

[@Stepshape]

i really like stealing/destroying land decks. Please make more of these kinds of deck.

[@tremackin]

If you take out an AoT fir Scholar of Ages and a Blood for Bones for Final Parting, that alone skyrockets these tactics with a loop. Omniscience with a Scholar of Ages is a hefty price but is an insta win with the aforementioned cards. The three card combo is Omniscience, Final Parting, Scholar of Ages... FP for BfB's and something you want in grave. BfB the Scholar to revive AoT or something else. Scholar of Ages Bfb and Fp. Then Fp two more cards. Then Bfb Scholar.....loop loop loop ...win. Connive Concoct I'd put in for something aswell. Thats 4 card difference that could be huge late game with consistency and wincon combos. Personally i play Enhanced Surveillance because grave hate is whack -_-

[@Punkdebutique]

Dimir is so brutal to fight against. So much control of the match.

[@kingfuzzy2]

Seth manfield runs a good dimir deck if you want to see ways to beat it ( :

[@Cuca349]

Wow! Very nice your version of this deck! If i was not a free to play player i would craft this deck..

[@windwalkerrangerdm]

You still can. I am an absolute free to play player and been playing for a year now and I can craft almost any deck I set my sight upon in a couple weeks or so.

[@mykeviper]

nice. I think that Quasi is a good one! I had seen a couple of versions of this theme deck but this is kinda good.

[@lucacavalieri2735]

Love this deck! Enjoy your holiday!

[@claudiogoesa]

Hey.. Did you think about using the angent and mirror march, so you possibly steal all opponent's permanents?

[@callmekayos7230]

MAXIMUM JANK

[@claudiogoesa]

@@callmekayos7230 Yep!

[@lelandgrigsby988]

I modified another version of the deck to use it and it’s hilarious when it goes off.

[@Th3M4k40n]

I love Mirror March but it usually only works for me when I put down a 1/1 or something. I'll always advocate for trying it though!

[@RaimonTarou]

how does this deck win when opponent unmoored egoes agent of treachery? especially since this deck has no counterspells?

Nice budget build. I'm digging it.

[@Iluin90]

What do you think of 1-2 Mission Briefings in the list? It might enable playing a T3 Blood for Bones or cycle a removal as alternative.

[@fulmetalmage]

have you considered putting in reliquary tower, and jace wielder of mysteries as a secondary win condition? in case the opponent does not concede and you are drawing 9 cards a turn...

[@covertgoblue]

That is definitely “win more”, while it is fun I should be able to win games where I steal three things and draw nine cards

[@MrZelis]

@@covertgoblue dunno that i would say win more. its more of a win another way if opponent doesnt scoop thinking you will deck yourself which is a very real possibility with this deck

[@DakotaAbroad]

I got an ad during your ad. =P It made me giggle. I am just at the start of the video so I haven't seen how it plays yet but this is a thing I'm interested in. Looks janky yet possible. But maybe I just don't appreciatethe cards as I should. XD

[@oonpl81]

What do u recommend once rotation is here? Some cards cannot be use.

[@EmmanuelPR427]

wow nice deck lots of fun. i dont even play mtg and your videos and deck creativity are fun.

[@AAA-kn2eh]

Very nice combo.

[@jeronimocid51]

Awesome deck! please show us more of it! = )

[@OneMillionBees]

I wonder if it's too greedy to try to sneak Yarok, the Desecrated in there somehow. You'd need a green mana source or to cheat him into play, but then you're stealing 2 permanents w/ every cast of the Agent.

[@covertgoblue]

When you hope to steal a land on turn four and quasiduplicate on turn 5 Yarok doesn’t fit

[@sethattun7196]

I was playing a massive hydra deck when I first came across this deck (or a similar) and i hated it so much.

[@geotechms]

CGB is so genuine. I love it

[@thomasshaw4855]

Returning from graveyard is cool but look into cards like teferris time twist, release to the wind, and judiciars portal (white), I've taken 5 things in 1 turn running this in a gate engine, it's so sic

[@thomasshaw4855]

And dont forget 2 clear the minds

[@alexanderpranske808]

You should splash some green for Yarok, that way you get to steal twice as many permanents

[@PWJB]

I love it. I'm gonna see if I have the cards to build this deck

[@sethcarter4498]

Stitchers supplier as the one drop to make blood for bones extremely consistent.

[@covertgoblue]

I did test that a lot and moved away from it for stronger cards

[@samoumek801]

Could Teferi's time twist be good in this deck? To play agent/chupacabra again?

[@harveythomas3976]

Definitely, it works great when you don't have a quasiduplicate, but it's also a really good counter against removal, I'm running four copies in my version of this deck

[@davetheman1798]

You should build a Treachery Agent deck with Ilharg Boar God should be fun

[@GatlingXYZ]

Oh god, I played against a deck similar to this. The only way I won (after losing 2+ creatures and like 3 lands) they ended up decking themselves! I had enough lifegain from the black cavalier and stalled them long enough so they could deck. It was amazing but it was suuuch fun to play against. I think if the board state hadnt been even, I wouldve conceded after the second Quasiduplicate.

[@Deliriation]

Fun deck!

lol best comment in a while!

[@lelandgrigsby988]

Such a fun deck. I would add in scholar of ages though. The recursion on that card is crazy too. I also added in Jace just because the self-mill is too real.

[@jakehayes492]

My opponent played lotus field turn 3, forcing him to sac his only other 2 lands. I was able to pop off blood for bones turn 4 return agent to the field and take his only land that produced 3 mana lmao!!! I also run Teferi's time twist and unholy indenture in this deck

[@covertgoblue]

How did you target the hexproof land?

[@jakehayes492]

Didnt get to the point of taking it. Wrote it out wrong lol. They scooped, but yeah, turn 4 win lol

[@thesamuraiman]

That deck looks cool. What if you were to add Red to it and add some early land destruction when you don't have the Resources to start stealing? 🤔🤔🤔

[@Trevorious2010]

Oh man, I finally built this deck but I keep getting run over by those annoying Shivan Reef elemental decks. They get so far ahead I can't catch up :( I know this isn't a tier one deck but I would like to find a slower meta. I hope things calm down post-rotation

@@covertgoblue it's another way to steal permanents and with how the numbers line up you would still be more likely to hit a sac target than blood for bones and it's also a good clone target
