☀️💧💀 DRAW THEM TO DEATH | Queza, Augur of Agonies | Historic Brawl

[@1ryb360]

Pretty sure the Shigeki player had an inscription of abundance in their graveyard and could have won if they got that back with their shigeki lol. Remember when mono green didn't had removal?

[@PvtSkittles656]

Yeah that opponent threw hard. I was saying it to myself as they spent all their mana doing nothing

[@empirate100]

My thoughts exactly...

[@mordamen]

Couldn't they have just powered up the land and sunk all their million mana into it as well? They could have easily made it big enough that cgb would have had to chump block with his commander or face death. And he'd have been locked out anyways

[@SpinAroundU]

Yeah when neither the opp or cgb saw this I started to doubt I remembered the card well, but both indeed forgot about it.

[@uiop60]

Yeah it made me feel insane that neither of them saw it

[@markrobertbb]

Can't even believe it took cgb this long to play this deck. Killing by drawing? That's the dream.

[@FatalErrorHxC]

Not an S he said lol

[@elderdragon799]

​@@FatalErrorHxCfair enough

[@conorross3587]

What's unbelievable is that the Shigeki deck should've found removal on the last turn since they could Shigeki to get the insciption of abundance that was milled by Wrenn. Mindblowing the powerhouse of removal that is that deck /s.

[@taylorpatton3072]

How does channel work from the command zone? Does it get commander taxed?

[@IV01]

It didn't matter the shigeki player should have won if he just pumped his man land up to be a 4/4 cgb would have to block or die to lethal damage, the shigeki player fumbled the win

[@taylorpatton3072]

@@IV01 he couldn't lose while his enchantment was on the field

[@CriticalStories]

@@taylorpatton3072 If the player had attacked for 9 (which he had on the battlefield) then CGB would've had to either block (and lose his commander) or sacrifice 9 permanents (which he didn't have). He would've lost either way.

[@davestier6247]

@Taylor Patton it doesn't. Channel states you must discard the card, you can't discard it from the zone.

[@br4054]

If you hold up a card, even if u can’t cast it, it will make the triggers go faster CGB

[@NotSceptile]

So happy to finally see Queza get the respect it deserves, pop off

[@PsychedelicCheeseburgers]

24:00 I can't believe you and the opponent both missed it! They had Inscription of Abundance in their graveyard, which they could have gotten back with Shigeki and used to kill your commander.

[@Locustfalcon911]

Holy hell!!!! FINALLY!!!! Queza highlight!!!!! So underrated and I enjoy playing him!!! I was excited for this one!!!!

[@AtrociousNightmare]

This might very well be my favorite brawl deck. I love the whole idea behind and it stars my favorite colors and some of my all-time favorites like Peer into the Abyss and Emergency Powers (a deck I loved playing back at the beginning of Arena, with Smothering Tithe etc.). Imma devour the rest of the video now

[@m4pl4gu3]

CGB you save me everyday with your videos. Thank you thank you thank you so much for your daily uploads. It's helped me through a very tough week this week and your 45 minute videos just give me 45 minutes to not focus on the bullshit that is everyday. So thank you.

[@josephus_paulus]

Part of me really wanted to know what The Scarab God player exiled from his library.

[@Un5tab1e]

Those combo brawl decks are amazing, thanks CGB

[@jmbw4271]

Cgb have you considered a guide for historic brawl deckbuilding. Im struggling to transfer from standard 2021/2022/2023 to historic brawl because i dont know what im doing

[@davestier6247]

Check out some of LVD ( LegenVD' ) hist brawl content. He goes through every single card in the deck and usually groups them by purpose ( draw, interaction, ramp etc ) lvd is one of the best out there.

[@sh4dow666]

53:50 Talisman into Rivers Rebuke is also pretty good, since you get back the Talisman.

[@vivarevo1105]

Man, I always love it when CGB stumbles onto this like IDEAL card in his deck and go "oh yeah, NOW I remember why I put this in my deck" after smacking the opponent for 18 points of damage.

[@dglassman6113]

This is probably my favorite card in standard and I've been looking for ways to make it work. The lich's mastery is absolutely the card I've been missing so thanks for bringing that up!

[@nottsfhj]

That shout out for legend, I'm not fine and amazonian was so wholesome

[@terraproxy4097]

Thank you very much for your gameplay, master CovertGoBlue.

[@markrobertbb]

Ok I just had to come back here and tell you about the craziest sequence I've had on Arena playing this deck. My opponent took control of Queza. I had Sheoldred and Lich's on the battlefield. I drew my entire deck gaining a ton of life. Then I cast Peer on my opponent. Queza's trigger resolves first then Lich's Mastery started to exile cards on the battlefield including itself losing me the game!

[@grimmonolith]

That combo kill was nice.

[@sawyermifsud852]

"If you're wondering what the alchemy addition to Queza is, it's vigilance" sums up how stupid most of the Alchemy card changes are.

[@nuckchorris3054]

Shoutout to Coxsmash for finding all that removal playing mono green

[@professorkhepri]

I think the reason it’s underrated is the fact it’s a 5 drop in the same colours as raffine- raffine was a BANGER

[@olafthemoose9413]

4 drop

[@nottsfhj]

It's a totally different type of deck than raffine

[@dallinrobison6412]

Interaction for the algorithm. 26:25 It’s not a Philippians reference, I looked and there are only 4 chapters. Oh well.

[@brandonshiflet1152]

Phi =1.618 is the golden ratio its a reference to fibonacchi sequence

[@windinthewillow1871]

nice

[@venenovillainwafer5804]

My wife has a Queza deck she built when SNC came out. Her favorite deck lol

[@ella6547]

Poor Coxsmash got shafted there.

[@windinthewillow1871]

hahaha

[@chucklebouf5379]

He threw hard. He could channel shigeki to get the inscription of abundance out of his graveyard, fight, win

[@greengandalfziggy1]

Having played a variant of this deck in actual Commander, you need to properly set and and seriously protect the combo (Queza+Lich's Mastery) or you're simply killing yourself. You want to have mana up for counterspell(s) when you cast Lich's Mastery AND a way to draw immediately, you cannot give your opponents a turn cycle to remove Queza and simply hope the combo stays in play so you can draw. Having both of the pieces out for a turn cycle and hoping for the best is how you lose with this deck.

[@mordamen]

To be fair, there's a HUGE difference between 1v1 and Commander. When you don't have to worry about 2 additional players potentially interacting with you, it's a lot easier to pull it off

[@greengandalfziggy1]

@@mordamen True, but in 1v1 you're even more encouraged to play removal than in 4 player, so the combo is in-theory slightly more vulnerable. Most 4-player EDH decks focus on value engines, synergies, or themes rather than 1 for 1 removal (in part because it's a losing proposition to expend resources while the other players focus more on advancing their own gameplans)

[@mordamen]

@@greengandalfziggy1 That's for sure. The problem is, most people don't like doing that, because it means less cards that let you do the cool thing you want to do! 😜

they also could have gotten the inscription of abundance. they had an abundance of win cons and for some reason didn't use either

[@Yamabiko.]

You can't die to lethal damage when Lich's Mastery is still on the board, no?

sheoldred deals 2 when they draw and gains you 2 when you draw, queza drains 1 when you draw letting you kill them without needing them to draw and also gives access to more colors

When people play decks that steal from you I think they are just admitting they don't know how to build a competitive deck They are litterally hoping you are a better deck builder than them Seems like a weird way to play a competitive game to me

[@oldmanmcgowan]

I played against you recently and then your videos started showing up in my feed. I guess that's how the algorithm works. Anyways I had my suspicion that you were one of those guys who gets all giddy when you counter your opponents spell and then sit there wasting time holding priority and then again hitting the nail right on the head with the fact that you get red in the face literally when your opponent has interaction after 6 turns of both of you basically playing nothing but land go. Gg's either way, but for the record. Nobody cares as much as you about the win or loss, but your type of play style is just wasting peoples time including your own hoping that your janky 2 card combo is gonna work out on curve. I play a lot of strong decks and I've proven several times that I can go from bronze to mythic in a couple days. The only reason I even mention my own accomplishments is because random comments on the internet are often dismissed because people assume that all commenters are low IQ keyboard warriors with low skill. Then again I have noticed a rise in bot opponents lately which you can tell that they are just a script bot because the cards flicker in between game actions and there will be a programmed amount of time set for bluffing. I thought I might be going crazy, but then I looked it up and first thing that popped up on google was some kid bragging about the bot he created to play the game for him. Well you aren't as bad as those guys who use script bots, but you are wasting peoples time which alone again would not be so bad, but you are promoting that type of behavior to the community and that's why I'm putting in my two cents. Anyways GG. Just play elves or goblins or something if you can't come up with anything actually intellectual or actually fun to play. For real bro it's like you built a worse version of sanguin bond and for that I gotta give it the thumbs down.

[@nottsfhj]

so you lost to CGB and got salty, huh?

[@oldmanmcgowan]

@@nottsfhj actually I don't think I even lost the match, but I recognized the name and remembered the playstyle as it was recognizable. Like I said before I figured he was the kind of guy that gets all red in the face when his opponent is able to overcome his jank counter magic playstyle and I was right. My comment could have just not been made, but it was an opportunity for me to vent about the script bots flooding the game as well as the rope a dope blind pilot playstyle that leaves people having to do something else to occupy their time while their opponent reads the primer for their deck during play.
