DREAM CRUSHING in Top 300 MYTHIC | UW Shark Typhoon Control

[@nickcustodi592]

Let’s be real- the Azorius Mage is one we all know and love to hate. Big brained, patient to a sociopathic level, and more concerned with ruining the game for you than they are actually winning it. CGB, you do in fact become the villain when you helm your UW decks

[@mattd3978]

There is no form of CGB we treasure more

[@bobmcguffin9028]

Spot on, albeit Azorius doesn't want to ruin things so much but craves order, which as a corollary disrupt your own gameplan and effectively ''ruin your game''. Note that these traits also pretty much suit the Dimir mage, albeit this one tends to be less patient and more actively focused on actually winning.(or you losing). The difference between Azorius and Dimir aren't then so much about White VS Black, but about how purposed and patient you are. And that is to say: how Blue a mage are you.

[@clagen86]

I can't imagine the sort of twisted depraved mind it takes to sit down to a game of any sort with the sole intention of denying the other player the ability to even play said game

[@nickcustodi592]

I really enjoy the replied comments to this lol I love the personality that comes with certain color combos. It adds a layer of flavor to the game that makes it so special to me.

He knows what pressure is, he's been playing against aggro for ages

[@mtgpablo7195]

Not gonna lie, I was rooting for the mono black guy with every random mono black synergy in his deck. I bet he has a nasty brawl deck lol

[@RafitoOoO]

I bet the big bro let his little bro use his account to play and he came up with that lol

[@ShooterSF]

It is very like my FNM decks :D though Necromentia comes into its own (well a little bit ha) when you know 85% of opponents decks as soon as they sit down across from you in a little friendly LGS.

[@Drew-im7is]

Same, I loved the insanity. "I see what you're trying to do here..."

[@jollyjoker6340]

@@ShooterSF Hope CGB does a control deck with Necromentia. It would be nice to see if I'd make the correct choices :)

That cycling game was intense, never didn't have it tho and that's what it's all about

Shark Week and a Half is exactly 50% better than Shark Week.

No, Shark Week is exactly 1/3 worse than Shark Week and a Half.

Both? Both. Both is good.

@@jeremypiles1787 I appreciate that you did in fact use the exact term rather than do something utterly humiliating like say 33.3%.

[@mattiparadinha8843]

You had two flavorful games this video. One with murdering the Realm-Cloaked Giant with the Giant Killer. The other was beating cycling by cycling to a counter. Oh, the irony.

[@AzafTazarden]

He believed in the heart of the cards and got rewarded

[@nickradovan5135]

The third was negating the gain 4 life... A call-bacl to the infamous countering of revel in riches xD

[@4Pidgy4]

@@nickradovan5135 Yeah, and also, he negated "light of hope". I think the oponent tried to make a joke about there is still hope. And negating it is also just perfect.

[@noardon1]

I’ll be back in 2,000 years to see if this comment ages well.

[@trbry.]

I'm so happy you won over cycling.

[@simonrobinson8065]

It's always a pleasure to see cycling stopped in It's tracks by counterspells. The only thing better is countering the first Zenith Flare with Ashiok's Erasure and seeing how long it takes them to realise they can't win!

[@blademan44]

It felt so good watching you take out that shrines player. I truly hate playing against them with a passion.

[@HanHorlings]

27:00 'let's get rid of the sanctum'. Yes, let's do that ;)

[@Teclys23]

The italian playing a shrine deck was an hero.

[@styfen]

Not at all. Shrine players are one of the true villains on MTGA.

[@zgidwitz]

There's something surprisingly nice about being told "you're cool" before I go to bed each night. Thanks, CGB!

[@brianarsuaga5008]

That cycling match was fun as heck to watch. Those streaks of cyclers with no lands were kinda nuts

[@echochildus2441]

Cycling: I think I'm a real deck Real deck: he he he......

[@redwoolsocks]

I'm always left wanting to watch one or two more matches! Really enjoy the content and appreciate you keeping the streak alive sir!

[@jonathanheld8152]

I love watching how excited you got during the battle with cycling, because it shows I’m not the only one who gets extremely excited to beat gimmicky decks like that

[@Fitbrit88]

I remember subbing to you when you had less than 10k subscribers! LOOK AT YOU NOW!! you are crushing it. You are putting in WORK and its paying off!

[@necropepper]

31:05 simply for holding the turn, immediately read the light of hope. truly a master.

[@RafaAelM]

Could you lower the volume of music and effects so we can hear the commentary better?

[@TheOrangeMelons]

HOLY 707 days. That's insane. Almost 2 full years. Go CGB!

[@AzafTazarden]

This video (or should I say CGB's shark week and a half) convinced me to become a shark mage. I have been struggling too many times with a Clackbridge Troll in hand with no guaranteed payoff if I cast it in my dimir control deck, especially without a reliable draw engine since I don't own the Tome. These last videos made me realize that the Typhoon would be a much better option than the Troll, especially when I run so many counter and removal spells to build up to Ugin and Ashiok, so the Troll isn't even the best wincon in the deck on top of being a huge liability when I'm low on mana. Plus the Typhoon makes great synergy with the planeswalkers, which the Troll did not. You have succesfully been an inspiration to me CGB, and I bet to many others, so thanks for that!

[@AzafTazarden]

And don't get me started on the times the opponent got to cast an Embercleave or mutate a creature thanks to the goat tokens I gave them. Or that one time I couldn't cast the Troll because of a Raid Bombardment on the board when I was low on life. There are just too many situations where the Troll is terrible.

[@thatvillainjay]

i appreciate the shout out CGB! Villains Unite! jk obviously but cool deck

[@ColorwaveCraftsCo]

It's nice to watch content creators play decks they love.

[@DingleBerryLord]

I usually find playing against cycling decks super boring but that last one had me on the edge of my seat.

[@burnedcat866]

Dam the last game was so stressfull, praying for finding the counter you needed all the time. You got lucky, but lucky gives a lot of work and you deserve that luck!

[@dunderminnet]

That last game was a total clencher!

[@shamanftw4921]

That opening for the Shrine deck happens to me just about every time my opponent has Shrines, it's probably my most feared deck to play against. Except usually they have all of them out.

[@matt21643]

Yes shrines feels like it should be so bad, and the other day I played against two shrines decks that were packed full of so much extra nonsense but every turn they had exactly the right thing

[@Woe_YT]

Been watching for a long time but wanted to thank CGB for the inspiration. At first I tried to love blue white but after failing and seeing CGB's green food video, I decided that I liked that deck and it has been really fun, casting henge for two mana and assembling thirty power and toughness.

[@XxFatelErroRxX]

The shrine deck was definitely a risky match, and amazing content cgb.

[@leovoldoftrest9987]

I lol'd at finding the giant killer.

[@grrr_lef]

23:58 -- I think playing the island before birth of meletis would be better since it would keep mana open for negate; Double white was not needed in this turn.

[@gavinurvina9245]

The temple and shark typhoon art looks so cool together! Great job guys!

[@grandmasteryoda3430]

Whatever happened to Lurrus in cycling. Lurrus is really good in that deck. Maybe it’s just you get matched up against mythic budget decks and I get 12 straight Yorion decks playing Shadow’s Verdict and Extinction Event when I’m trying to play mono white auras.

[@blurglebox]

a few months back i made a version that had godzilla in the deck hence no lurrus but this dude didnt seem to be going that route so no clue lol

“Patience is our wincon.” You proved it today. Keep up the great work! CKC

In game one versus the monoblack deck, why didn't he scry the Neutralize to the top to counter the second Covetous Urge (which would have also produced a 3/3 shark). I doth believe that CGB missed lethal a turn earlier.

[@mandielyn0416]

Hey CGB I don’t know if you actually read the comments or not but I wanted to put the idea out there of getting a “CGB Shark” playmat designed and up for sale. I bet that would be huge for your fans. I know I would buy one for sure!
