SHUT OMNATH DOWN w/ Dimir Control | Mythic BO1 Version

[@nickritchie2154]

That first game against Omnath was like watching a kung-fu movie where one guy has no chance and doesn't know it yet.

[@ronswanson3776]

Watching that Omnath deck get stomped was the most satisfying moment of my life lol

[@johngustas658]

Build it and STOMP Omnath for yourself. It's worth it, super satisfying.

[@BJJANDMTG]

Hahaha

[@BJJANDMTG]

I have a sultai that just punishes it every game

[@Mycatsonmylap]

"This is the CGB we deserve, not the CGB that the meta wants, so we will hunt him down, because he is our BEST OF ONE CHAMP"

[@JoeNeutrino]

"Patience is the win con." Wisdom from CGB.

[@johngustas658]

I hard played a shark typhoon vs omnath.dec and kept escaping Cling to Dust for 1/1s and negating/countering his spells when he finally decided to interact. The scoop was real.

[@prodigaltrev]

That was a masterclass at how to deal with these freaking squares.

[@foolish137]

"I think we've stabilized the situation." CGB said while absolutely dominating an omnath deck

[@Kanoog]

The MTG Dragon Ball Z spell battle begins here 1:05:10 . There is so much back and forth action it made me think of DBZ. What can I say I love counter spell battles!

[@Hansolol_22]

Crawling Barrens probably my biggest sleeper of the set.

[@chlorhydrix9160]

That second game really gave me some sweet sensations, watching Omnath get mastered was lit.

[@jorgamund07]

As a Dimir nerd, I am loving the current options available to play with in Standard. (Still miss Surveil though.)

[@thesarcasticliberal]

I like Dimir a lot too. Ironically, I've been playing a similar deck to this while main-decking Necromentia, which lets me yeet their Ugin/Omnath/ECD/Scute/Felidar Sanctuary.

[@mattd3978]

@@thesarcasticliberal yeaaaaaaa! Only thing with that is that I don't have any and don't want to craft it. I may just increase my ratio of historic play and run the unmoored egos that I have

[@fogo.dentro]

Man, I fucking miss Unmoored Ego sooo much! I love the "Turn 3 Concede" effect when you hit the right card (like Leyline Of Void for free on turn 0 against a sacrifice or cycling Zenith's Flare deck).

[@mattmichael3310]

@@fogo.dentro theres currently an alternative in standard that's arguably better. Forget the name but it has same effect

[@BosSoxFan15]

I am missing Disinformation Campaign more and more every day.

[@pm6828]

This looks like the realest dimir control deck I've seen in a while.

[@heitortremor]

This is my favorite kind of content from CGB. Slow methodical crushing of the opponents spirit, one counterspell at a time.

[@HellScream107]

Heisenberg realized too late CGB was not in danger... He was danger.

[@captainshiner42]

Bahahahaha!!!!

[@thatgrimdude1453]

This deck lowkey showcases the absloute power of MDFCs. They prevent both flood and screw, and it's glorious.

[@quimripoll6824]

I love how you exploit different aspects of Dimir control with totally different decks. Keep rockin'! Thank you from Barcelona

[@elnatanbitensky8314]

That first mono red player played really well. I was impressed.

[@BustlingKiwi]

Salty Omnath and Ugin player is the highlight of this video for sure.

[@Anonymous-ie3sc]

You've been... Shark struck! SHARK STRUCK! YEAH YEAH YEAH SHARK STRUCK!

[@szkoclaw]

The new optional lands are the best thing that ever happened to MtG. In fact, I always thought there should be an additional rule: any card can be played face-down as a land producing one of the colours of its casting cost (with maybe restrictions to only first turns or coming tapped, or some varieties of that)

[@SenseiBonaf]

I'm was thinking the same exact thing. Those lands are great.

[@apophenic_]

This is the answer that my homebrew groups have constantly used ourselves because it's such a fucking obvious fix to the whole mana issue. Like, Wizards, seriously. How fucking slow can your design team be?

[@SenseiBonaf]

@@apophenic_ My solution in our homebrew group is to have lands in a separate draw pile. When you draw a card you choose either the land or the non land pile. Of course it changes the balance quite a bit but for fun & casual decks it works very well.

[@peterosborne8315]

Ypur solution does change the entire game though...

[@francisjirons]

@@SenseiBonaf Congratulations, now the meta is 100% tempo decks.

[@Divinevert]

CGB: "I cut all the spot removal." Also CGB: "I can't believe I keep getting run over by monored."

Ashiok grabbed Torbran, Bonecrusher, and EMBERCLEAVE for me... I won that one. 😳

[@brettokeefe6463]

Last opponent: you have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting.

[@irishbear8383]

The Crawling Barrens kill at the end was actually really good. You kept your opponent distracted with your counters and planeswalkers while buffing a land slowly to 1-shot him. I didn't see it coming and I was watching from your POV

[@leehunt6031]

Fun deck! I definitely couldn't navigate this deck like you. Fun watching a control master

[@covertgoblue]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@yamizara2928]

Dimir is my favorite deck thanks for the great content

[@Cook66]

My absolute favorite decks to watch are these slow patience control decks.

[@fifthwallrenaissance3433]

That CGB stare.... gotta love it lol Awesome deck, loved seeing the Dimir side of your control game again. Any thoughts on doing esper? Or is it just not the same without Dominaria/Spark?

[@wesroo]

The land base for three color that has no triome is pretty bad right now. Esper only got good when ravnica allegiance completed the shock land cycle with the friendly lands.

[@chrisholden9443]

58:15 - Dude, we even watch the same classic movies!! Next you'll be asking an opponent if they're "gonna bark all day, little doggy?" :D

[@whitestripesftw]

good to know that doesn't just happen against me.

[@invisible4ever]

actually a terrible draw for monored xD

"So sorry that you are unhappy" - CGB, grinning like a maniac

[@Menelker]

Just call this the Dimir "Nope" Exile Tribal.

[@willo7734]

Best color combo! My favorite anyway, whether it’s the best meta or not.

[@stefanrabenstein3753]

Love watching the long grindy control games. First time I noticed the Teferi animation today - guess you have not faced many opponents playing it - it looks pretty nice.

[@captainshiner42]

That was a hell of an ad for MTGA Assistant.

[@MrChupatwo]

very nice solution to a menacing problem indeed. im inspired!

[@ryanhoffman7084]

Hey CGB, I was a tiny bit sad that there was no Jace Mirror Mage here. Maybe someday you can show an actual good deck with him (if there is one, ha)

[@JohanShogun]

This is why I played dimir control all day yesterday :D did go about 50/50 against it with Omnath. :)

[@Arcticsharpshooter]

This first monoRed player, Solo, seemed a really good player to me. Very patient and knowing how to tackle control with his archetype.

[@kingfuzzy2]

Absolutely I prefer playing against an aggro player who doesn't puke their hand unessesarily and evaluates and places threats.

[@geekmp3]

CGB playing it cool and builds a deck to fight the meta instead of screaming for bans... LOVE THIS. Thank you, CGB.

[@stefanonegri7946]

Wow!! That game vs Rogue was a wonderful example of high level game strategy!!

[@DEKU-1GAMING]

Hahaha that cycle trick and bite was priceless. That was pretty funny 😄 if I were the other guy though I’d be like “🙄 you’ve got to be kidding me”

[@m.mudassirsheikh7232]

Been playing a lot of Dimir Rogues recently (sue me) and I like running cling to dust. Always over preforms in rogue mirrors.

[@TheNewDrSpilikin]

What a killer game one and against the much loved Mono Red XD Great content as always!

[@dcnole]

I would scoop so hard against this deck AGES before it actually won the game. Pure torture to play against. A thing of beauty.

[@KukulcanZ]

Last video was U/W control and now Dimir Control; i am done for this set, nothing more to see. 100% of my decks.

[@KebapRocker]

Please upload more games of the "patience wincon" decks. I can't live with so few games of the decks i love the most.

[@kingfuzzy2]

The same ( : especially in non-blue control at the highest regards Abzan control.

[@kingfuzzy2]

Really happy to see some totally not evil dimir librarians 😌

[@wrydrune]

I play 1 cling in my DiMill rogues for when I run into uro. Very rarely do I shutoff my own stuff off with it.

[@JasonCleeveJAFC]

Very cool black & blue deck and it's nearly the same as my ashiok deck. Super cool video mate 😎👍

[@stefanvanwyk4733]

Choice cuts of various opponents served fresh by CGB. 😊

Hope many cards do you usually run in your decks? Love the content and the gameplay. Please keep up the great work!

[@brunosassonetorcello444]

Man, I have been converted to control by this channel... Care to do some jeskai control?? The triome and both pathways helps the mana base quite a bit

[@AdamGRiley]

That was a pause at the end XD

[@lliammclachlan]

I really hate this deck but I absolutely loved watching the 4C Omnath players being mercilessly tortured into submission, well done sir

[@f4b1n]

Why did you spend counters with an non-escaped Uro if you had Cling almost every time? Card advantage? Wouldn't be better counter it when escaping?

[@The578unit]

it's often worth it to deny them the cards whenever reasonable when playing control.

[@tonypower9315]

Cgb, when you gonna do a horrible,disgusting strong blue deck for historic? Or do you have one?

[@ericschwegler7514]

cgb loves craking the standard meta and he says 5 pack standard is the easiest (funnest? forget specifically) and that historic has too many cards to be fun to do that to. Doubt we'll get one of those vids but I would also like to see perhaps

[@princecuddle]

I can just see cgb being like tutelage into sea gate restoration and then they discard 14 cards the first time then 30 card the next and gg

[@thefanaticx6738]

Could you do sultai control? I craftet many cards but its hard to find the right list in this meta.

[@ganjasimpa]

Please help me decide: should I craft this or rogues?

[@nicolasandjel]

Rogues is much stronger in this meta. But it depends on your taste and if winning is more or less important to you.

[@johngustas658]

I'm convinced that, if they printed a modular land in UW, that CGB would have a stroke. 😉

[@kingfuzzy2]

I mean I would too helps out both jeskai, boros, and uWu.

Kinda new to magic... does it always suck right after rotation? I only see the Black rouge deck, Omnath and the occasional cycle deck. It’s really stale.
