💧🔥 PERFECT STORM COMBO | Vadrik | Historic Brawl

[@davidtatum8540]

That spikefield hazard was the most disrespectful lethal damage I've seen all day.

[@mapleheaf7648]

I live for that satisfaction

[@jaelte]

Almost as bad as Gut Shot in Commander.

[@DannyMcLaneDC]

Is now know as Spitefield Hazard.

[@nekkomacioce]

Especially after getting smacked by a double-striking Goldspan

[@josefelixladeiarodrigues5466]

That match was one of the best played matches I have ever seen

[@cappisalubri8069]

That was definitely a fun game of magic. Yes, I did want to see how it all ended. Thanks for the fun.

[@sinisterresonantbell3335]

I salute you Grixis warrior 🫡 proving it worst color combo

[@Gebored]

cool of you to stick around, such a close game

[@promanev01]

Thank you for making it until the end, a true champion 🏆

[@gavinhumphries7020]

good on you for sticking it out, really interesting win and an excellent back and forth

[@cannonball_Z]

great sport

[@Thickolas]

7:58 I feel like Test of Talents is kind of a big brain include in a format that's so heavy on counter magic. A two-mana hard counter that will almost always have a target and lets you peek at the hand is pretty neat

[@Hitzel]

Also hitting instants and sorceries is actually like, sorta rare for a counterspell on arena. Card's really not that bad.

[@brianarsuaga5008]

The Jodah and Bolas games were some of the best games of magic I've ever seen, including on your channel. Very cool

[@AutkastKain]

The only other time I've seen Test of Talents in Historic Brawl was when I tried a Dragon's Approach deck. I just sat stunned until my rope started. I didn't win that game

[@Johnnybsknees]

I don't know if I would be mad or laugh my ass off

[@BigfootIsMyDad]

That last game was such a standard Izzet win, honestly. Getting punched down on the whole game, then snagging it with a series of powerful spells and storm shenanigans.

[@Spaghetti775]

That spikefield hazard dealt lethal in real life, goddamn

[@parkerreed8565]

27:37 that was the most epic burn down the house! HAHA

[@Perceptious37]

galazeth prismari is really good in this deck, especially your list that has all the treasure making instants n sorceries. the fact galazeth lets u tap the treasures n not sac them for instants and sorceries adds another pop-off angle.

[@7someone]

That last game was sweet. I love seeing a deck storm off in Arena.

[@TheZanimus]

53:22 Who else thought CGB was gonna cast Creative Outburst on himself when he tried to emote?

[@impractically728]

"Let's untap and let's say hello back..."

[@Patronux]

@@impractically728 *Vietnam flashbacks*

[@kiss6917]

What an absolutely insane deck, I can't believe this is actually a thing!

[@MetalHev]

"Lets see what they hit" -CGB, about to be clowned by a praetor

[@adamburston719]

Amazing gameplay!! Spikefield deaths are devastating.

[@OnsetOfPutrefaction]

I didn't know half the stuff happening there, but boy did I pick a great video to get motivated to get back into MTG!

[@grimmonolith]

So epic. Spikefield Hazard for the win. And then that last game. Well done!

[@rumpleymtg]

I see Magma Opus, I like the video. Simple as that.

[@facetatjoe3197]

That last game against Bolas was Legendary status

[@megalamoniacal]

I’d argue that test of talents isn’t necessarily a bad card in historic brawl. It’s still a 2 mana counter instant or sorcery that also gets you a full look at every card your opponent has. Information is value and there will often be a target for the spell.

[@Devtronzor]

Bolas be like "I can sit through 9 extra turns no problem"

[@Cpxxxx1]

Love the video as always CGB!! Thousand Years Storm also should be really funny to see in this deck.

[@Ev200818]

Shoutout to the final opponent, cappodocious, for sticking around (after having a strong position) and letting us watch the combo at the end.

[@westonlines6241]

Some of the most epic games of magic that I’ve seen recently.

[@nuckchorris3054]

Wow those were some great matches

[@ashlynnengel2134]

I don't know if you've done this yet, but i'd love to see a Raff Capashen, SHip's Mage control deck. It allows you to hold up mana for counterspells or removal, and if you dont need to use any, you can instead ccast powerful legendary creatures like urza or powerful artiacts or even just mana rocks

[@bgcno2]

I made this deck when brawl was a 60 singleton standard formal. My friends hated it lol

[@Zyvelteas]

The fastest click in the dojo.

[@kkkkkkkk652]

that spiked field hazard lethal was some serious 500iq type of play Jesus Christ

[@kimhwang3610]

love historic brawl content! long live CGB

[@Vexkion]

I don't think I could ever have the mental capacity to pilot a deck like that, goodness gracious.

[@maaikevreugdemaker9210]

Haha that last guy was awesome clicking tje whole way through XD

[@nooby900]

that game at 27:13 is defiantly worth the "never didn't have it"

[@Celari]

I use the kaya draft enchantment in my vadrik deck. It essentially almost always gives you an option to x spell. Super good for finishing games.

[@Morgan_Frost]

I dont play Magic, Arena or otherwise*, but I’m always surprised when people scoop after one small setback. A loss is a loss, surely play it out and seen if you can claw back the W? CGB the perfect example of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat in the last game there. Must feel much better than conceding after a turn 3 commander counter or whatever. Worst comes to worst, you get to see your opponent pull some mad 10 minute turn, and even that’s kinda fun? *don’t ask why I watch online magic gameplay. I couldn’t tell you myself.

[@Guevon_Pajaro]

Very well said! Some much better magic players than I have said as much and I've finally started to listen. There are so many premature snap concedes in tilt in arena, it's ridiculous. I used to do it too much myself. Sometimes you don't want to waste time, but most of the time it's not the right move to quit!

[@Morgan_Frost]

Even if you think you’re gunna lose; as CGB himself says, make them have it!

[@quietninjariot]

Watching this after playing last night's game of commander with Anhelo is really fun to see. May consider using this as a baseline to help power up the deck.

[@leouecker3942]

the bolas and the jodah games were phenomenal to watch

[@PlaneswalkerChris-ms9iq]

I guess Test of Talents isn’t totally useless in brawl, you get hand information and can shuffle the opponent’s deck.

[@victorserras]

The last game was epic!! Even more than the "JIN GYTAXIAS!!" game

[@cannonball_Z]

CGB vs all the Bolas's! what an epic moment

[@FreshPrinceOfBelA17]

Greatest example of never didn't have it

[@jamesmccollom7246]

I wanted to build a multi day/night deck, because there's a janky pile of cards that profit from multiple days passing

[@ChromeAnubis]

YES. This is my favorite deck to play! I have a few versions, my strongest version heavily focuses on boosting his power, like 15 pump spells. I have many cheap counterspells, and often you can wait a turn, play him and then counter the removal, popoff when you untap. This works shockingly well for me. I win much more with the full YOLO build+counterspells. I've tried doing 0/minimal pump spells and so often I lose games because I dont have them to popoff.

[@wesrouse2599]

We had the exact same reaction to the test of talents 😂

[@vincentcaggiano175]

I think maybe shaving 3 or 4 lands might be optimal but I love geist wave I also use riptide lab and have added dig

[@SmashPortal]

I had a nightmare last night that I was watching your latest video and realized halfway through it wasn't brawl.

[@emperorurbi]

Beating the jodah deck with a spikefield hazard! legendary!

[@breakingnews33]

That last match was EPIC

[@psychomagi]

Last game was amazing as a come back.

[@ronaldrogan7546]

Test of Talents is good bc it is basically a swan song that looks at the opponent's hand and deck.

[@chanura6431]

I put things like akki war paint in my vadrik deck for more power for vadrick

[@ronaldrogan7546]

has anyone cheering for how fun this deck ever played against it? 90% ppl scoop the minute they see you're playing a turns deck bc no one cares to see you scratch your head over which draw spells you want to fumble through for the next 30 min lol. it was fun to watch the nail-biter matches but any sane opponent would scoop immediately to chaining turns and move on.

[@archangeljmj6008]

Another deck of mine I need to update, thank you cbg

[@Krunschy]

Kinda suprised Haughty Djinn didn't make the list. It's one of the best instant/sorcery cost reducers in Arena after all.

[@hellproof2379]

Been waiting for an izzet deck again since niv. Still playing that deck too lol

[@heraldofv3379]

I wold definitely tutor a thought distorsion against vadrik if I was that opponent...

[@usmansabir3897]

I really like izzet storm decks, seem to win out of nowhere, big spells big damage. Just the way magic is supposed to be.

[@ethanmagness7363]

Couldn't you Dual Strike a cleaved Alchemists Gambit since its mana value is still 3?

[@gabrielnieves4103]

Hey CGB do you think there’s a good combo with the commander named “Isshin two heavens as one@?

[@rrcampos]

mizzet always have some nice combos

[@jaredplaudis4825]

How does copying Alchemist’s Gambit work? If you pay the cleave cost, are the copies also cast that way? I’m always worried that copies will not be the cleave version of the spell.

[@2dsystem]

izzet spells is so much fun, i usually end up running it with some of the big dumb enchantments like thousand year storm but i hate paradox engine

[@mamaspizzahut]

Have you ever tried playing a winter orb deck?

[@mandielyn0416]

Gas!

[@gabrielrivera6869]

Kaza, Roil Chaser can be good in this kind of deck?

[@joshgibson8060]

No big deal, just a 7 minute turn to finish the Bolas game. Opponent is a better man than me!

[@dragonhunter8807]

yes, the last game was nuts. but i wouldn't want to pilot the deck in that situation or be the enemy, its just too many actions for me x_X

[@B1G_Y0N]

Wow that jodah game

[@victimizeakaboomsta8995]

Yea I’d give that game a 6-7… can definitely be dealt with but trouble.

[@OlafKnolaf]

I want Shlestus!

[@brendansmith4182]

No thousand year storm?

[@t-dogn6171]

Thx

[@FalconDS9]

oh hi, thx for being here while i play this game alone with you not allowed to partisipate in any way shape or form.. have fun!

[@TheLoneRider_]

Admiral Beckett Brass!!!! You have too!!! Everyone like this comment, I need to see this deck built right!!!!

[@03firefox]

Yessss! We need more pirates in MTGA

[@TheLoneRider_]

@@03firefox i agree more booty the better

[@TimeWalk936]

45:22 why opponent?

[@apremtolaria7749]

Izzet Friday is back 🤣

[@nekohunter_8893]

Pls make a video with Domri I like the Stompers

[@Rabiddogg00]

Why no Celestus?

[@christophwhiteyz9787]

Wake me up before you combo!

Never. Didn't. Have. It

Please try lagrella

Hi Gix!

[@scales8768]

Hi Gix 🤚

[@neftalisuarez5032]

No thousand year storm😔

[@NellyDevo]

I wanted to apologize. Last night I ran into you (or at least someone using your name?) on the standard ranked queue while I was trying to target a specific 750 gold quest, so I was using mono red and you ended up stuck on two lands and only played 3 yotian frontliners before scooping. I'm sorry! Mono red is not my usual deck, and it would bring me shame if that's how you remembered me :(

Day 8 of asking for a heart.. A little late but everyday I get stronger 💪

[@callmeinfidel8370]

I don't watch all your videos, so you may have earned this distinction prior to this, but after that last game go ahead and call those weak willed quitters soft all day long after proving your own strength of will.

[@HailtotheKiin]

No but seriously, why does the Gix animation have him waving at you like that? It’s so weird and awkward. Have him playing a bunch of one-drops like in the game

[@ClambNStuff]

Dude, it’s so annoying how quickly these historic brawl players scoop, especially with these decks. Like why can’t people just enjoy their opponents popping off with combos and be happy for them? Magic is more than just winning or losing. Sorry for rant

[@Sordsmin4]

1st

[@roshandala]

WHERE IS THE ENGINE 😔

[@CubicCoder]

5:47 what about [Epic Experiment] the amount of games I’ve won with that and just playing my whole library is inane.
