I remembered I played Anzrag on an empty board as a chump blocker and my opponent immediately targeted it with Path to Exile so I fetched a red basic land. He made a mountain out of a molehill.

[@nathanjohnson3948]

This needs to be pinned ☝️

[@kqwerty11]

Not naming Mole with the cavern for the mole to just get countered right after makes me wanna cry.

[@macrobeats1914]

CGB: This deck is not my style. Also CGB: Having so much fun playing with his mole.

[@AwwhHex]

Mole disappearing into a pile of Zendikar creatures is such a flavor win

[@Lordidude]

What does that mean?

[@AwwhHex]

@@Lordidude because moles dig into earth and Zendikar is all about living earth and extreme biomes. Mole-god is basically having the time of their life

[@Lordidude]

​@@AwwhHex That sounds funny. But I don't het the Zendikar Part. You could also call it a win if he disappeared in Karlov's Manor I guess.

[@jamesstevenson3116]

Exactly the words I was going to say 😂

[@nickhaze2491]

@@Lordidudethey explained it. The zendikar creatures are literally made out of the earth. Moles dig in earth.

[@moralnexus]

This is Basilisk + Lure from alpha, finally realized

[@FanOfMostEverything]

"A bit bigger than what Minsc is used to, but he will do a fine job of crushing evil!"

[@MrSirbra]

I lost it at the enlarged mole joke

[@petercho4728]

I did too 😂

[@sciencekidbj]

The mole disapearing into the board is somehow very fitting. 🤣

[@alexmeershoek4542]

With Roar of Challenge's wording being ALL creatures must block if able, you should be able to safely attack with everything every combat, regardless of how many blockers there are right? If true, that card is even better in this deck lol.

[@someguy1ification]

yep, unless they have something that can block multiple creatures in one combat (they exist! just not many and rarely run)

[@infinix610]

I was the one playing Judith. GG, I've been looking forward to trying this deck ever since it beat me.

[@DanielWisehart]

Thanks for the new/old card list too. I bumped into a few of these and wondered where they came from.

[@DanielWisehart]

This is the sort of deck you can rate by the number of rage scoops you extract from opponents.

[@FiddyStump-tn6kk]

I really didn't expect enlarged-mole jokes.

[@funnehbunneh5415]

50:10 If you press Control+Shift+T (There's probably a version for Mac as well) you open the last closed tab. Very useful feature at times :)

[@michaelgrandchamp1067]

Loved the banter in this one!

[@DarthTUK]

I had an Anzrag commander deck put together the moment the card got spoiled. It's bullying in card form. I had a proxy with custom art made for it with the cartoon character "Krtek". 10/10 moment when opponent went "F*ck, I have a blocker."

[@l33tminion]

Jeez that sandstorm effect _over the cards_ on that one board sure is a choice.

[@rossryan8634]

good lookin out with the crafting tips at the end

[@joshuajinsu2559]

"Do the roar"😐🍭

[@smashmagnum9312]

Love to see some fun brawl builds to keep things fresh

[@aidanhollingshead2656]

I'm not the most adept at deckbuilding, but I do have astandard "+1/+1 theme" ramp deck with Anzrag in it. Its full of Kami of the Whispered Hopes and Ozolith of the Shattered Spires so that I buff Anzrag (amongst other smaller creatures) to crazy power really early. A few green "removals" and I manage to outclass a lot of creature decks to force the block, or just outspeed a good amount of controls. It's not a crazy optimized deck but it is one of the most enjoyable decks I've built in recent times.

[@raphaelc9492]

can you tell me why you fetch basics and shock lands when you have untapped dual lands also?

[@edwinsiefert9925]

I’ve found that Temur battle rage and embercleave are insane in this deck as well

[@madbuddha4587]

At 23:35 could you in theory have only dealt one to the creature so it would survive and then have to block again? Could see trample/indestructible being op if so.

[@Silenceaverted]

You could’ve played xenagos instead of combat celebrant and got Beeg Mole

[@swellyww7725]

I don't really play magic myself, but seeing holy mole go makes me happy ^_^

[@MichalBernath]

Would Brash Taunter fit into this?

[@SeriousPaul1369]

"I am the Mole God, and I feed on all that is forsaken!"

[@Tehfebeb]

Hello CGB and thanks a lot for yet another day with a video, i appreciate you

[@codyspeck]

@CovertGoBlue I absolutely love watching your videos 🙂. Can I suggest you turn the MTGA music volume down a few notches? Sometimes in your videos it's completely competing with your voice.

[@youngbeard]

It looks like you had so much fun playing this

[@yellowishnesses1138]

Fog + Forced block = Infinite attack triggers!

[@loremaster6828]

Kinda random but I had no idea Thran Portal had an Alchemy variant that comes in untapped all the time, pretty neat I think i'm just a sucker for that card's art

[@user-ud4ee7vp7c]

Seriously, one of my favorite new commanders to ever exist. Cheeses so many wins

[@Asian_Caleb]

Pretty sure possibility storm was added with this set of cards as well!

[@Bersarker]

32:45 Reading the card explains the card, with Roar of Challenge on the Mole you could have attacked all without any hesitation, because every creature that's able to block it has to do so. I literally screamed at the screen because of this fail play 😨😱

[@Valendr0s]

You do a decent Randy Savage!

[@keithedwards]

last bit could have been a KZbin short

[@pumaluna4065]

Oh my God he's going first: MONKEEEEEEEEY !!!!!!

[@Playlist4Ella]

"Enlarged mole" joke was loaded in the barrel before recording even started, wasn't it? lol

[@canadasyrup2125]

Pride of hull clade?

[@t-dogn6171]

Thanks CGB

[@Moose00019]

@CGB The deck list is short a card.

[@djhammond779]

Hell yeah, historic brawl

[@alainassaf]

34:25 NO QUESTIONS... but I'll answer this one, it's a mole

[@zopelari]

BLOOD FOR THE MOLE GOD!

[@blackj_9818]

Where is the embercleave??? Where is the believe on the cleve on that 8/4 dude? 💔

[@cupcakeapplesauce]

Mole-in, Mole-in, Mole-in

[@ferdlm8048]

CGB i love you and all... but why do you not believe in the cleave? Run the embercleave :(

[@jackattackhissnack]

This destroys poq. I went the double strike and indestructible route to put them on a 2 turn clock. Haste is ballin too.

[@RenanTheBoss21]

Molin' Molin' Molin' fun video, the dispair in the oponents avatar when they are like "oh, so this is a boardwipe?"

[@thor82ak]

People just scoop while you sit there and talk to the camera. Thats the problem with a non ranked format, nothing to loose from scooping, so, you talk to the camera, they scoop, you think longer than 5 seconds, they scoop.

[@tennesseefeetmonk752]

Anyone know how to watch faster than 2x mode?

[@jgray2718]

Brawl*

[@brianarsuaga5008]

I will never understand salty ropers. You opened the game and queued up to play, and surely you expected to lose SOMETIMES.

[@phoenixvengeance6768]

Thank for the shout out cgb I’m try this deck out.

[@matheusbarbosa8934]

Se Mole esse deck já é bom, imagina Duro

[@SlappinMTG]

Damn I literally love waking up to new content! Cool Club member is by far worth the 5 bucks!

[@x1PMac1x]

These types of Ghrull creatures make for such boring board states. CBG has to play stuff like this and mono-red every once in a while, though.

[@RobertWilliams-xs8el]

Keep molein molein molein molein what?!?!

*Holy Moley!*

[@giftedhippos]

How does this guy manage to struggle thinking while hes playing a mole deck 😑

[@giftedhippos]

@@ashtheswan705 he may be better but lets be honest, there are decisions that dont require roping every turn. I respect his deck-building but the man has got to play a lil faster

[@L1v3W1r3d]

But CGB, isn't historic brawl JUST brawl now? 🧐

[@kunimitsune177]
