💧💀🔥 WHO'S YOUR DADDY | Nicol Bolas | Historic Brawl

[@jubirebas6779]

Yes, to us portuguese speakers, this is good ol' daddy Nicol Balls. A fitting name for the card that makes me want to cry whenever I see it on the board!

[@ObscenumLoL]

Btw, as a portuguese speaker (brazillian, maybe the Portugal portuguese gets it different), "bolas" means balls in portuguese, and Shanna sounds like a "Xana" (our X sounds like your SH most of the time), which is a slang for v-gina (idk if omments can gert someone in trouble, so I'll try to be polite)

[@wesrouse2599]

Wait until they unveil Xana Bolas 😂

I would have scooped so hard with that mana screw. Good job CGB.

[@lucasss16]

16:25 Me as well😅

[@MrCytree]

I must be honest. I would have scooped the 2 land Teferi game. Great job, great video.

[@krimhorn]

Man, every time I see Bolas I just want to know what happened to the dude from Legends that was just chilling in the library reading his books and where did he go so wrong? Was his sibling's fighting so bad that he had to go and become a multiverse dominating terror just to shut them up?

[@delasvegas9644]

It was an evil library with evil books

Gracias cgb. Nada mejor que un mazo de bolas...

[@GD0nly]

A fun little 2 card combo, having seen that Teferi HoD game, is Lotus Field and Strict Proctor. SP Counters the ETB of Lotus Field unless you choose to pay 2, so you just don't have to sac 2 lands and you still get the Lotus Field.

[@francoisgrobler6584]

Didn't expect to see Nicol's Balls today, yet here we are

[@lucacavalieri2735]

Cool, evil deck, always amazed by your thoughts about how to take out the best from every spot!

[@josefelixladeiarodrigues5466]

Excelente vídeo, continue fazendo vídeos dessa qualidade. Sou um grande fã.

[@just_zohan]

I played Bolas today before this video came out and out of my 10 games 8 were Kinnan, 6 of those games where on the draw The amount of times they had a counter for bolas was absurd, and having fatal push/bloodchief's thirst wasn't enough, since they just replay the commander with their endless mana True hell queue experience, Kinnan is definitely a deck on Arena

[@scales8768]

I would've scooped so badly, 2 lands vs 6. Man u good.

[@Collisto2435]

You make Bolas Vs. Kinnan seem like an easy fight.

[@Ragnasorcerer]

I don't interact here often, but since you mentioned the Brazilian community, here I am. Member of the cool kids club since when? M21, I guess. Will never forget that 40 minute Barrin game

[@LeMuzi]

Bem, sim CGB, eu teria concedido o jogo depois de perder um terreno. Sem terra, sem jogo. Que jogo delicioso. O oponente Teferi não adaptou a técnica que você usou em seu próprio baralho de Teferi. Você precisa de sorteio de cartas. Não apenas contadores.

[@voidbaron_4396]

Just in time for a new video

[@johnlavender2875]

I would have scooped like the sh$t it was.

[@dorukhanozen2580]

I returned to Arena after 3 expansions. I love Tribal Historic Brawl. Any recommendations for a decent yet fun tribe ?

[@aviyocheved2474]

Sorin Imperious Bloodlord as a black white vamp commander is highly underrated imo, I love it so much because it gives all your creatures/planeswalkers lifelink on your turn, and -x to reanimate anything cmc x to the battlefield- especially w access to the vito/exquisite blood infinite life drain combo + multiple tutors, a commander that always lifelinks- alongside vampires that grow, draw cards, drain opponent, kill opponent's board off & reanimate each other is rly good. As long as you do your curve/nonland mana producers/accelerators and draw engines well/carefully (hard in orzhov sometimes) it's fun and often surprisingly resilient

[@aviyocheved2474]

Also in white black, my favorite tribe in there probably, is clerics - Elas Il Kor as the commander if u want a cheap Aggro drain focused start, Orah as the commander if wanting to ensure you can play your reanimate engine consistently from the start- pyre of heroes and horn of the herald help tutor up better and better clerics, things like blot out the sky or rabble rousing or an elenda dying can produce a ton of tokens to gain life (and if Vito's out that machine gun hurts them), then a meathook massacre resolving in a board full of ur creatures can become a machine gun for sure with elas guaranteeing the life drain when things die regardless of what else is out. I enjoy throwing in a luminous broodmoth, nightmare shepherd or ratadrabik to ensure all this happens in a loop of reanimation, same with like, vampires having access to drana and the white 5 mana bishop that reanimate every attack!

[@aviyocheved2474]

I really enjoy zombie themes with commanders like Scarab God and Ratadrabik (the latter has legendaries as a theme even if they aren't all zombies because theyll come back as zombie token copies)...

[@aviyocheved2474]

Elves are classic- if you get tired of mono green elves there is tyvar kell giving access to the green black elves. Myrrim, sentinel wurm is a huge stompy red blue green dragon-copying tribal deck that is terrifying, and Toxorill can be built as a horrors tribal deck with a nasty sludge monster/toxorill/proliferate spells combo combined with things like hullbreaker horror, phyrexian obliteror, all the way down to pesky small things like yarok's fenlurker, with an inevitable "other undeniably synergistic blue black cards" subtheme since horrors alone would waste a lot of toxorill synergy with things like Tasha. Speaking of dimir, rogues and ninjas also have a pretty damn good selection for tribal decks.

[@aviyocheved2474]

Alela in esper makes flying fairies whenever you play enchantments, I often merge this with a hallowed haunting (so spirits) subtheme. There is a rainbow shrines deck floating around in various iterations the past couple years that can rly kick ass, people also rly like to build sliver cascade decks in rainbow that can also synergize with things like jodah the unifier's legendary cascade (and combos like maskwood nexus making sliver hivelord make all creatures indestructible). If you like artifact creatures specifically, urza made those decks newly strong,

[@crstube]

If I don't draw lands 3 turns in a row, I scoop 9 out of 10 time. Great hustle there - very impressive comeback!

[@VydeoGramesJunk]

The last game was lost because he didnt play his Brainstorm. Brainstorming with the treasure would've let him hit his land drop and keep one blue up for spell pierce, this entire game would've looked different since blood on the snow would've been used a turn earlier. Oh well, you win some you lose some.

[@Asian_Caleb]

My least favorite part about hell queue is how ridiculously salty opponents get in it, either scooping on sight or roping out when they’re losing, it feels like it’s really hard to get a real game going

[@samscomet8492]

I mostly agree with you but there's no chance I'm playing even 1 minute against baral, scoop on sight no matter what deck I'm playing

If I only had 2 lands against a Teferi deck with 6 lands then I would've scooped because I know I wouldn't have drawn into anything decent in that game while the opponent goes off lol.
