💧💀 Dimir Sedgemoor Witch Control | Innistrad Midnight Hunt | Standard MTG Arena

[@Iwastman]

Man, I could taste the salt all the way from here from that poor Golgari mage after top decking Duress lol

[@jpfister85]

I was laughing so hard when he "Nice!" emoted like 20 times while CGB was explaining his thought process for the camera. I almost think CGB was making him wait a little bit longer for all the "Your go." emotes (which is something I fully support).

[@firespace6016]

Haha I didnt even recognise, I‘m Playing against Cgb. I actually got the Deck from his videos. And sorry for the emotes btw I just was on a pretty big losing streak and just couldnt hold it back 😂

"Show me where the book of exalted deeds touched you." Hilarious

[@ChaoticNeutralAnimation]

Super impressive games. This has been your favorite vid of mine so far. Well played all around. 👍

[@shteev]

I made something similar with the witch and poppet stitcher. They work really well together since the parts suddenly become real threats when the stitcher transforms

[@lhorbrum1818]

I actually don't have the witch (Lack of rares) but somehow have four poppets, so be using them for now lol.

[@cyrus6236]

I’ve been looking for a good poppet deck, I’ve been using it in this zombie blue black deck, but this sounds miles better

[@MiiRaGex]

Look forward to your videos everyday my man! Thank you for the content!

[@crossfire340]

Forreal. It's one of the highlights of my day.

[@lisalatif3841]

Some people just like to play to the end I do I'm that one that lets you run your whole combo out lol

[@franksmith8298]

I always appreciate a new video from CovertGoBono!

[@user-et3xn2jm1u]

I hope this catches on, I've been advocating for Dimir Witch control for a while now. Perfect synergy with Meathook, which is a top5 card from MID, and generally it is a dimir wincon that can race Alrunds.

[@paulgrant8144]

at 40:00 CGB struggles with two sets of glasses, CLASSIC! go CGB, you and your multiple lenses/who cares insanity!

[@doglived5842]

Just started playing mtg since I got it on my phone so ive been watching a lot of deck videos to kind of see what I wanna build towards or some meta cards. And you by far explain everything the best and actually show the decks and explain the way you intend to play it. Helps a lot!! Thanks!!!

[@westonlines6241]

Your Dimir videos are my favorite to watch, and I love it when cards that are less played in the format find a new niche in the meta to do their thing, like you did with Sedgemoor Witch. Great video. Those were some epic comebacks, CGB.

[@TormentedPenguin]

I've been running check for traps over duress... it exiles the card and you can get rid of some nasty creatures, the trade off it the extra 1 mana... but to exile a RV on turn 2 it great

[@DavidDiaz-sg4xz]

This deck absolutely SLAPS!!!

[@HankTrill72]

Hey CGB. Congrats on the 1k streak. I am having so much fun with this dimir witch deck! Thanks for all that you do and keep up the great work! Stay safe in the dojo

[@barney3444]

Once you called them the Bono glasses something in my head just clicked

[@JPOlmin3000]

I loved this deck. The gameplay was particularly enlightening. Thanks again, CGB!

[@G0lia7h_at]

15:40-16:31 just shows how good of a player you are. damn. As a rather new player I am always baffled by such opponent reading! Because of you I am leaving Mono White and Mono Green and dip my feet into Azorius Control. Trying to read the opponent and learn when to use which spell. nice work mate!

[@pangopod2969]

Saying "good game" and stay is like " to Valhalla"

[@fishstickmystic]

[@v_o_r_p_a_l]

31:58 my exact same reaction

[@Conradd23]

I like running this kind of deck with poppet stitcher too. The with and poppet stitcher together is such a great combo!

[@eunomiac]

Shit that does look like a great addition; it synergizes with just about everything the deck is trying to do. I wonder if CGB thought of a reason to exclude it, or if its absence is a holdover from when the deck used to be a Delver deck?

[@matthewwinegar9200]

@@eunomiac It does synergize, but I think you lose some things including that. I can think of a few reasons to just use witches, and not poppet, though. Witches have ward which can be significant; there is no extra cost to removing poppet. If you add poppet you have to drop something else like land or some sorcery/instants, which you need to trigger the magecraft effects, and are all reusable with lier. If you replace a 1-2 of the witches with poppet, you have less lifegain and the burn plan with meathook might be harder. It's all tradeoffs but worth considering.

[@matthewwinegar9200]

Poppet is a cheaper card that does almost same thing, though, so if you need rares to make witches you could use poppet and save some wildcards, that's a great plus for poppet!

[@Conradd23]

@@matthewwinegar9200 All fair points, but it can close out a game way faster than the witch too.

Oh I like this, at the end of yesterday's video you challenged those adventurous players to make Denlver work. This was the direction I went almost exactly, but now switching a couple things and eliminating delver for the witch, oh my...

The sun is plasma, I think. Doesn't really count as fire.

[@juliuslubin4400]

I’m glad Sedgemoor Witch got to shine today because it’s my favorite card from Strixhaven ☺️ thank you CGB!!

[@Redths]

I usually say 'Good Game' as a substitute to 'Good Play' or 'Nice Tactics' because the emotes are just too few. I'm totally going to make this deck. Right up my alley!

[@travischappell7417]

Definitely agree with the 6:10 comment

[@latte3314]

You're so much happier with Witch's instead of Delvers There's something to be said there

Azorious every day xD

[@longliveireland993]

Sick deck man I'll give it a try. I love the Dimir decks I've ran mono black or dimir zombies for like a month now haha

[@Howaboua]

same! I did try the witches as well can't wait to see how it went in the video, as my deck seems literally 80% of the card CGB used

[@Renseru]

CGB, thing of the glasses like this. Not only are you protecting your eyes, but you are protecting other people's eyes because you're raising awareness. Make sure you are still getting some natural sunlight without the blue blockers and/or a little exposure first thing in the morning to blue light sources so your circadian rhythms can get that daily cue that morning is here.

[@jb6381]

LOL totally relate to the annoying "extra mana" symbol on the deck box

[@leznets91]

Cgb: you can't have fire in space! I know stuff! The actual sun: exists

[@xxRxIxKxSxx]

anyone else like cgbs videos before watching? or is that just me? long live the streak

[@matthewwinegar9200]

Love this deck! I only did 3 wins 3 losses in the standard event, ran up against a bunch of Izzet decks (felt like Mythic). Still, crafted my last two of the black/blue card steal things, totally worth it. Always love the dimir abilities use opponent's own cards. It is also doing well in ladder after reset (platinum currently).

[@Motumbo]

I played a version of this in Historic a few days ago on my channel, and it's pretty good there as well!

[@thekwillis2830]

[@charleswable3339]

I'm gonna try an orzov version with dramatic finale BUT! I can't wait to play this version, love the siphon insight

[@alojzymyszka6424]

Yup this deck is super fun to play. I'll sneak in at least two poppet snitchers anyway, smashing opponents face with 3/3 tokens is fun. Or when poppet can turn into artifact when you sweep and come back turn after :D

[@Drew-im7is]

Very cool, very cgb style of dimir with witch. I love delver, but he is very tilting and requires alot to make him work... what about a few plumbs?

[@4Horatio7]

Yes, there is a bias. I am on the draw over 90% of the time.

[@timothysims253]

I love when you make new videos showcasing decks/card combos. I currently have the “bronze 0” bug where my ranked games don’t count :( (3 months now and still no fix) anyways, after you do these videos there’s a ton of try hard baddies that watch your channel but have zero clue how to play your decks-such easy wins.

Hey CGB, a humble suggestion: It would be so cool if you make more videos playing other formats, such as Historic/Brawl/Limited/or even Std BO3. I really liked that video that you made with MTG nerd girl playing limited.

[@matthewlohmeier2056]

Hey CGB have you looked into cutting down blue light on your monitor like mobile/tablets have? Then you wouldn't need the glasses if they truly bother you having to wear them.

[@arson55]

I feel that about hating the green mana symbol on your deck. Fairly often I'm building a dmir deck and thinking I might want to put in a cram session or two for my extra learn cards but am turned off by the green mana symbol.

[@sauce777]

I feel like your deck of the day just happeneds to be one of your opponents decks that you played against on the previous video.

[@HobbesEatsCalvin]

Just curious on your opinion on switching out 'eaten alive' for bloodchief thirst

[@empirate100]

Just somethin' anecdotal regarding the perennial "aggro goes first" thing: I did a quick draw yesterday and drafted the most aggro BR bullshit I could get. I was on the draw 8 out of 8 games (still went 5-3, obviously).

[@coreycalamity1395]

try plumb the forbidden for card draw with witch is nice. sacrificing all the pests and copying the spell for each one you sacrifice so sacrifice 5 draw 5 op af

[@Tin_Suit]

Plumb the forbidden is great with Sedgemoor Witch if you have pests on the board. Cast Plumb, sac all your pests to gain the life, draw a bunch of cards and not lose the life, then replace all the pests with mage craft triggers. Double witch in play? Crazy amount of pests generated.
