I like to see a wide range of decks. So the occasional venture outside of ranked meta is nice to see. Keeps things interesting.

[@greekPharaoh666]

Same

[@shekki3192]

Too bad, CGB himself said that he likes keep things competitive. If you want just janky decks this is not for you. If you want splash of janky and being competitive as possible, you are at right channel.

[@Miasmavideos]

Same, I didn't like the content as much when yorion was still around. CGB had basically yorion videos daily.

[@ashleyhamilton5064]

I preferred the Yorion videos. So to each their own.

[@legofans699]

@@ashleyhamilton5064 I didn't mind yorion. Mainly because the 80 card bump gave a lot of flexibility for diversity same with the dual blue white mana cost. Yorion decks definitely have more diversity than for example izzit alrunds.

[@williamwalton9154]

Events are good spice and let you actually play a truly different deck as per brand. Tier 2 & 3 decks can be fun and seeing new cards has its own merit.

[@dunkindognuts3345]

I think you have the wrong idea of what tier 2 deck is rakdos treasures is a tier 2 deck currently

[@dunkindognuts3345]

@Lenz C how doesn't it he clearly doesn't know the tier 2 decks are mostly meta decks

[@Maxus696]

I definitely love the high mythic videos, but it's really nice seeing some different cards. Personally I would love to see more of this kind of video. Love your work!

[@TheGuille312]

Yuppp, same here

[@curiouslygreatgaming7142]

I also agree.

[@alexnikitin6273]

I think it's a good idea to sometimes play around with some new stuff after you've explored all the competitive decks in the format. End of the month camp seems like a perfect time for that.

[@skallagrimm6226]

whats his new stuff becomes everyone else main decks. think since this vid dropped ive seen this deck 85 times.

[@koatelecaster]

Hi CGB, as a routine viewer, I love watching the high-level mythic games. It's cool to get to peek at that meta and it's impressive and delightful :) that you, our guy, chills near the top so much. Bravo. That said, I also like the standard events, at least compared to simply playing unranked, because you get to try out some cool jankier decks and there is still some incentive that keeps opponents from scooping immediately to change their land count. Always thought the even-money dance was a charming idea too :) Thanks for the videos. You're cool.

[@manuelb3525]

I really enjoy this new approach you're making with these new decks. I believe it also can help to develop new strategies that could be used in the future for high-rank play

[@ClownWar]

I like seeing these sorts of decks while you camp rank. Love the Historic Brawl videos too. Mixing it up every now and then is never a bad idea. Keeps things fresh 🤌

[@FoolishOptimistPrime]

I really love these standards event breaks. They remind me of jank week, which is how I initially found the channel.

[@Git_Kraken]

I like it when you change it up every once in a while. Trying out different cards instead of the "Treasure Package" every day is great.

[@bencastle3893]

I came over when Merchant left. I would describe myself as someone who plays anything but blue in any format I play. I initially watched because KZbin recommended, I watched a few more because the content was interesting and it you want to beat a control mage, you gotta know how they think. That being said, I think the only videos I haven't watched of yours on the day they came out (and maybe at all) were ones that were just super similar to the stuff you'd played the days before. So all in all, I'm happy to see different content - ranked vs standard doesn't matter to me. The Florian vid was one of my favourite ones in a while.

[@Relentless48]

New to your channel but I already subbed! always appreciate seeing high level players' thought process. Great to see you try all the decks out in standard to give a nice view for people interested in playing them! Loving the tribal theme currently and am hoping to see new rogues maybe haha keep it up

[@getlooky736]

One of the main reasons I watched your channel is because I feel like you're a really strong player and I learn a lot about how to play the game by listening to you and watching your plays and examining how you build your decks. I feel like it would be beneficial for players like me if you played more standard events so that your acumen in playing can demonstrate how to better grind for gold for those of us who need to do so

[@braydenknudsen7977]

Love to see these decks you don't see a lot. Love seeing exploration with unused cards.

[@pascalgrenier8394]

Dude you are so awesome...I'm the same with mono white i HATE them. I recently went back to MTG and you taught me so much and playing MTG with your guidance is making a great experience. Thank you.

[@Asian_Caleb]

I really like the standard events to show how the deck is doing

[@longliveireland993]

Awesome to bump into you in game!! (I'm IrelandTBB) I watch your videos everyday. I'm new back into magic i played during the Urza's era. You were right, the faceless havens were killing me. I was legit saying good game because i knew the smoke was coming. Huge fan man. Good Game!

[@adamreid439]

I remember the standard events, and I missed them! Love the break from ladder to show some different decks.

[@tcenzo6722]

I really like when you play some Standard events!

[@inurcrosshairs]

Really missed these standard events on your channel. Not enough to complain about it but boy am I happy to see them back! Fun to get off the ladder from time to time.

[@HobbySauce]

Thanks CGB! Your Mono-Black got me to mythic. Made a small alteration by switching the Inscription of Ruin for Plumb the Forbidden to grab the Lilliana combo (which won a fair amount of games by itself), but the deck is SOLID. Greatly apprecaited.

[@Gaston-Melchiori]

56:45 when you killed the Valkery you exiled it, is part of the effect.

[@roshandala]

I literally fell over when you said 'Subscribe to my OnlyLands'

[@andrewcrisp8567]

I do like you stepping outside the mythic standard space, both the events and brawl content is fun to watch. The short term nature of the events is fun.

[@Mr_Mistah]

That was a shockingly impressive Emperor Palpatine impression...

[@br4054]

31:17-31:27, opponent immediately cast humiliate after CGB makes that joke lmao

[@monkeybum1984]

I think it's great to branch out. There are several cards that I started playing because CGB showcased the card on his channel. One that comes to mind is spell satchel. I would have never played that card, but it does what it does very well.

[@travissafford2312]

Loving this style of video! I always try to make jank like this work in my deckbuilding time so it's nice to see someone who is actually competent give it a shot so I can decide if my dreams are pipe dreams.

[@PistolReport]

I love seeing new decks and new cards. It gives me ideas for my decks. Whatever you play is fine with me.

[@CypherDND]

I love the standard events. Please mix them in with the mythic ladder

[@JL-tv3lw]

The main reason I watch you is the high quality decision making and deck building. I would watch you play ranked, draft, and special events, but probably not historic or other fringe formats.

[@irvine5732]

I definitely like to see a large range of decks, and it's fun to see these lower power, more thematic decks thrown in here occasionally. Definitely enjoy watching the high level gameplay more often, when you are trying out different decks.

[@sckanis]

Nothing on this channel is more entertaining than CGB trying to get non-meta decks and exotic synergies/strategies to work in high mythic.

[@JRosen99]

Love the Standard Event videos. The games feel like there are actual stakes to them. Also your preview deck reminded me an LVD Poppet stitcher deck where he ran sedgemoor witch to really crank out the tokens when he played instants or sorceries.

[@melrakan]

I personally like to see a variety of decks to give me ideas and inspiration to what I want to play myself. I really appreciate that the decks are competitive too (though I don't mind when they're not), because as a more casual player it's just a great guide to getting better at building decks too and knowing the meta of the current standard.

[@davidduckett6242]

That's a really solid palpating impression

[@Villakarvarousku]

I may be in the minority, but I don't really care about mythic at all so I enjoy this type of content much more than top tier decks. Seeing you apply your deck building process and meta knowledge to something a little bit jankier helps with whatever weird brew I want to try whenever I get the occasional constructed itch.

[@jahbariw5534]

Yes! Please continue the standard event shenanigans before the season reset. It's really nice to give light to not necessarily game breaking cards, but fun archetypes

[@shiftmove371]

CGB, I like the variety and different decks the most. I guess the more unique the deck the more interesting to me.

[@shiftmove371]

I also think you and Arjuna should play a few games against each other using cards the other person said sucked in the Arena Craft Podcast

[@AbsolutelyNerdy]

31:26 So unexpected, made me chuckle

[@kylewilson7777]

It's nice to see the varied decks in the standard event, good change of pace. Thanks for the video, you're cool 😎

[@Moze9116899]

I watch for you being an interesting person. I used to watch Megamagwai when you were playing more casually, and you made a statement about taking the game more seriously. I watch you daily now. I watch your mythic ladder often and it is a highlight of my day. I learn a lot watching you and your wise play style. Also, I enjoy watching what cards can do because of you as well. i also really enjoy it when you play commander-style arena games, such as when you played Koma and I think Tegrid as well. I really enjoy those. I hope you are doing well and will be praying for you and your career on KZbin and elsewhere and personal achievements in your private life to go well.

[@inkdreaper874]

Been watching a few of your Arena matches. Finally subbed with this one. I like what I'm seeing 🤘🏻

[@michellimon7955]

CGB I consider that this content is very entertaining and I would like to watch more videos like this one where you're trying different cards and tribal themes.

[@MrDiogosantos1234]

It has been cool also to see these standard events! A shake from normal is always cool =)

[@ryancrouch813]

That was a good Palpatine impression.

[@Tobey_10]

I would love a regular schedule standard event thingy… maybe once a week you would be able to show some more niche stuff… i find mythic ladder myself very constrained (i do acknowledge i am far from the real good players), but once you go to 95% or even the real ranks your options are soo limited that it could be cool to see some other stuff :)

[@edoardospagnolo6252]

I'm really enjoying these standard event videos! Very nice. :)

[@floriannoel4086]

Good to see some new decks with no Goldspan/Chariot/Wrenn. Thanks for the quality content as always!

[@fkylw]

I first loved watching your brawl videos. I'm just here riding the wave though, love watching your content. Always gives me great understanding of the gameplay, decisionmaking, good and bad deck balance, and then how to actually play a deck.

[@MostlyMajestic]

I enjoy seeing the odd deck builds. Thanks for the content.

[@nickbalmes6640]

Some Standard Events sprinkled in between your usual regular Standard Ranked games are perfectly fine CGB :)

[@ralphdavis4266]

I like the new idea as an end of season thing. It's cool seeing what makes iut into next season. It's fun.

[@williamozdal7442]

Been a fan for years, and I’ve missed the standard events. I think they gave a wide range of gameplay from facing off against less powerful/jankier decks, to stronger decks as you get more wins. I don’t mind the mythic games either, don’t get me wrong. It’s great seeing high level gameplay, I think it makes us all better players. I do miss these events though, used to time my lunch out by watching them. Ahh, the good ol days.

[@DeathMonkey21834]

I think the standard events are a great distraction during the end of season or stale meta. It really interesting to see more diverse cards and the discussion that are made with those cards.

[@Hitzel]

Yeah man I dig these videos of you playing in events with fringe decks. If it ends up being a thing to freshen up the "meta" we see when the ladder meta is becoming a bit too congealed, it will probably do a good job at making the channel feel varied and fresh.

[@wifi8811]

I love the standard and I’m happy that I commented zombies yesterday on the last video and you did it today. You sweetheart

[@alansadowski1360]

I think doing standard events at the end of the season is great. I enjoy watching both, and it makes sense to play "jankier" things at the end of season in an event instead of the ladder

[@rickeyboy42]

Definitely love seeing these more off-meta deck. Keep em coming

[@mattipaarni8594]

I think it is nice too see your take on some of the other cards in the set and for your sake i think an event is the right place for these fringe strategies.

[@KenzieScarlett]

I love seeing fun, janky kinda decks too! They keep things spicy! Lol I like the meta, of course. But some random decks are awesome too!

[@MrRedDewey]

Im cecis, and i was with your video on Azorius control open at that time, wasn't ready for the zombies haha. kisses from brazil!!

[@Manimon.]

15:04 I have a question, why is it the right play to take the 8 dmg and not divide it befor ? sorry for my bad enlish, just wanna know

[@thijmenrevenboer8960]

Cuz the opponent could replay it

[@Manimon.]

@@thijmenrevenboer8960 yeah but.. he would do it the next turn anyways.. idk.. i think taking 8 is alot. But maybe this is why in not in Mytic xd

[@kuzuma4523]

@@Manimon. Because letting him replay it would mean getting 2 +1/+1 counters that add up every turn, and that if he divided it pre-second main phase, the hallowed priest could attack right away next turn. At the end, one attack of hallowed priest plus 2 additional counters is much bigger threat than 8 life. Remember... life is a resource!

[@HalTuberman]

I like the events a lot. It kind of makes the video into a "story" with a beginning, middle, and end. And I preferred them even back when CGB transitioned into always doing mythic ladder. Maybe a blend of the two? That way he could play more jank/subpar decks.... which he doesn't do as often as he used to.

[@Chaoslorden]

I love a video like this in between the high end try hard decks. If bit to see what could become a thing with the next set and just add something fun to play to our deck library.

[@thijmenrevenboer8960]

Make a gisa, glorious resurrector brawl deck!

[@lucasturner1872]

My favorite videos are new-to-the-channel mythic worthy standard decks. But there are only so many of those. Brawl or casual standard can be fun variety

[@MarkovChains223]

I really like seeing you play the events; how many games you win there gives me a useful standard barometer for a decks potential

[@ryanrodgers3099]

The Standard Event videos are a nice change of pace to keep things fresh with some jank every now and then that's not going to tank your rank. Especially at the end of the season.

[@tabletoparcade4203]

[@acm-oj7hy]

i like to see how other types of decks do in mythic. other streamers i watch play cool decks but not in mythic which is why i watch you a lot.

[@jordantiburcio4541]

I like this video format. More interesting decks, and an interesting little quest for you to reach 7

[@Battleguild]

If they ever come back to using the Amass mechanic, there really should give it some real support cards. Maybe an enchantment or artifact that says something like: "At the beginning of your upkeep, put a +1/+1 counter on a Army creature token you control. Army creature tokens you control gain "Whenever this creature is dealt damage, instead prevent that damage. Then remove that many +1/+1 counters from this creature.""

[@darreldorigatti862]

I love the idea of you doing different modes of arena. Im sure youve gotten (and will get) flooded with the request, but here's mine: Drafts. Ive never seen you do limited. Most yts, dont actually. But i started watching one who was and i enjoyed it. You provide good external thought process into your decision making for constructed. We all want to see that for draft picks and plays. Maybe its too long to 1 video and youd need to split it up - especially if you go all the way to 7. Id still watch.

[@KSechrist]

@22:36, why do you village rites the tapped zombie? Why not the untapped, won't you get one on end step?

[@2ogres1cup50]

Maybe take out ebendeath and narfi and put in 2 poppet stitcher? If you're going all out on the decayed thing, poppet can turn those into stronger tokens, just seems logical
