EPIC MYTHIC WIN STREAK w/ Mono White Lifegain | I can't believe it....

[@olafthemoose9413]

Everybody: Hey what's up? Jumpstart's here so we'll jam some games of that CGB: Here's my Standard Mono W lifegain deck

[@erikohman2294]

Me, slacking by the computer with this in the background. CGB: "We can fall behind in life because we can usually gain it back."

[@yxolloxy3273]

"Man how do people get the hawk pridemate thing" He says in a deck where he cut 2 hawks :p

[@dracodominus2800]

LoL

[@Jorg05111980]

Yeah...exactly my thoughts :-D

[@charajeux]

And no point of playing 24 lands in such a low mana curve. He should cut 2 plains for 2 hawks

[@DakonBlackblade2]

@@charajeux Ye my toughts exactly, most ppl are stuck to this "magical" 24 lands number. This deck top ends at 4 mana, and is agro oriented so you don't want to ever draw more than 4 realy. So go 22 lands and 4 hawks.

[@rorororororor]

I think by hawk pridemate he meant a 1 drop with lifelink rather than a hawk itself. The hand didn't have Alseid or speaker for the 1,2 ramp

[@WrisColf]

CGB: A little protection can go a long way. Wisest words were never said.

[@bobmarthins]

Another gamer, victimized by the sorcery-speed speaker of the heavens ability.

[@_-___________]

@Felipe Real It would be a 1/1 for 1 that has vigilance and trample. Then when you have 8 lands it becomes an 8/8 add trample.

[@matthewbrown3082]

The moment he said, "I can do it at instant speed." Disgrace was not brought upon his family

[@WitnessedOne]

@Felipe Real i hope you mean blue. green has been dumpster before, blue has been OP and present in 50% of all decks forever now

[@formyulah5426]

@Felipe Real if it was green it would also have an ability to untapped it for 1 green mana

[@WitnessedOne]

@Jack then i can assume he is a total noob and likely the type to think counterspells are high iq skill decisions

[@squees7215]

I used to play a lot of mono white lifegain but haven't touched in a while because it was really bad in recent metas. This list is real fun to play, actually quite alot of important decisions to make in every game I've played with it so far. Great content as always.

[@slonski]

Just look at those card names, people! HELiod & HEaLer's hawk + 20 P_lains - it's definitely a hidden cry for HELP!

[@DM-qm5sc]

(HE) (L)ife gained (P)eople cried

[@burdseed8209]

Or he likes Helium

[@supaTortoise]

Time to get the tin foil hats

[@MorNamoAnnatrar]

Thank you so much for this build! I love to play Martyr Sac in modern and Soul Sisters in modern and historic. But not in Standart. And I just managed to reach Diamond from Platinum 4 floor. Just one evening. I changed your build a little bit - I have only one Speaker. It was soooooo satisfying to watch all this ramp and reclamation decks conceding! I can see that lifegain is not your cup of tea and I appreciate your dedication to new decks and builds every day! Thank you so much from Russia! :)

[@premiumcheddar9983]

I'm an avid life-gain player, so I appreciate you doing this vid

[@dmgengar]

I'm a simple man. I see KZbin notification from CGB, i think "let the nonsense begin"

[@DrewBrunning]

24:50 - Oh no, he doesn't know he can't do that at instant speed! He's too used to blue things! Doesn't he know white sucks?

[@sparkplugbarrens]

27:07 I think you are a very good magic player! Especially with control decks. Your style of playing made magic much more interesting to me.

[@Bluecho4]

Finally makes an angel token, after making a big production about being unable to. Says absolutely nothing.

[@darthclown3367]

Thanks CGB ! I took most of this deck to diamond (didn't have the wild cards for speaker of the heavens). First time to diamond . Usually stuck in platinum. Thanks for your content . I do really enjoy your work.

[@randoomingnope7574]

But CGB, you have to play *insert random card* . That is how i play my lifegain deck. This is the true way to play it.

[@pauljimerson8218]

Insert random card has such synergy!

[@knodalishell5636]

hmm let’s see... life gain with beacon for teferi and elspeth... more life gain and card advantage

[@MillerJustinFS]

Splash of black to add Vito!

[@Jacksuhn]

The wink and the nod to the BS I've been through is in fact exactly why I watch this show. That and the awesome deck concepts.

[@aceranger6724]

You're a beast!! I always enjoy watching your streams! I yelled "Nooooo! Do it now!!" at my screen when you said you could activate speaker of heaven at instant speed haha

[@GozMaster]

I've never enjoyed watching someone gain life more. Thank you CGB. I sacrifice these letters to the youtube algorithm gods in Hope's of a faster advance to 75k subs. May it bring you wealth beyond Midas checking for ripe watermelons.

[@davidhunter5391]

Not sure if you check your old comments CGB, but I took this playlist from mid-tier platinum to mythic in 2 days. I had a roughly 80% win rate. Absolutely abuses RDW and Mono-Green. And its a coin flip with the control decks. I really hate agro decks but this one just feels more fun with a 2nd tier objective of creating free angels with speaker. Thanks!

[@davestier6247]

CGB out here trynta get with Mono Black Magic's level of dingusness. Well done sir.

[@A_Swarm_of_Waspcrabs]

23:30 You know you're a bit behind when you pay 5 mana to rid a 1 mana threat.

[@DM-qm5sc]

I know this cant be the best one ever because CGB said in a previous video he hates life gain decks

[@guessthatsitthen4982]

Sad cgb when he realizes he can't make an angel at instant speed

[@edoardospagnolo6252]

While people were busy debating trivial misplays, CGB was studying the way of the life gain!

[@Mortonbmx]

Hmm... time to crack a beer and sit down for an hour :)

[@armyfreak9389]

Hey! It's my birthday and one of my favorite deck archetypes, thanks for the serendipitous B-day gift CGB.

[@GameOnWithFamilyJam]

I am really new to MTG and MTG Arena. I used a deck similar to this and made it to the platinum tier really quick. Now I am stuck in tier 4. Thank you for posting this hopefully this will be the trick I need to make some progress.

[@Reckl3ssGring0]

i love watching mono white, it's a soft spot i have. Thanks CGB!

[@ThiefSakon]

I want cgb to say "unlimitted poweeer!" while playing this deck and farming counter. Somehow he reminds me of the emperor...

[@Arrwmkr]

I love black and black/red but I only started climbing the ladder when I put together a white deck, I do love the triggers.

[@hazadus]

very fun to watch, thanks as always! 🤝

[@drrmdlogos6973]

21:51 He attacc 22:01 He protecc But most importantly 22:11 He come Bacc

[@Thaidory]

Tried to assemble this deck. Never ever got together the epic combo of Linden + Heliod. Without it its just a bunch of weenies who die to superior power of green creatures, mayhem devil barrage or mass exile of Ugin.

[@nazawrius]

39:26 Those are the legit MTG Arena protectors. You could've bought them in Store

[@MrTOutdoors123]

Love your vids! I watch them everyday and I’m sad, I’m leaving for basic training in a week and will miss 3months of videos

[@lonnieburrow5086]

Hey good luck out there man. Keep your head up, basic can be rough for some people. Hopefully I'll see you in the comments in a few months 🙂

[@MrTOutdoors123]

Lonnie Burrow thanks!

[@CasualMTGDecks]

good luck man !

[@RafaelAAMerlo]

It was a pleasant session. And since White is my favourite color I actually enjoy this deck archetype. Thanks =)

[@fedond1133]

What a streak 11. Nice. Covertgowhite swag. Thanks for the content as always

[@joenutz242]

This deck is Nuts! boosted me in one day frome Silver to Plat 1

[@covertgoblue]

Congrats!

[@ForestDewberry]

Did you already have most of the cards?

[@josemaurogomezrodriguez571]

I subscribed on twitch! thanks for the daily content

[@jamesclarke3876]

Question about this deck, why leave out Karn's Bastion or Radiant Fountain? It's a mono deck, so a few colourless lands are unlikely to manascrew you. The fountain is an easy life trigger, and the bastion is a nice late game way to buff up the many creatures with +1/+1 counters on them.

[@MrDeathbydying]

Love ya cgb, I'm thankful for the work you put in

[@Zaknyfein]

I had to come back and watch this one again, it is that good!

[@fringd]

34:47 "I don't know if that's gonna come back to bite me" I see what you did there.

[@Cesshiphop]

Did you try Revitalize at all as a way to refuel and gain life? Maybe as a SB piece for the control matchup where Casket is dead? I'm curious for my own building purposes

[@sebaxxxtian]

"patience is my win condition" more than a motto, a way of life (?)

[@sirslavis8386]

Hey, nice white lifegain deck, but you have anything that is more.. up to date, circa now? Post Zendikar Rising release? Thanks.

[@Chaoslorden]

Wow, KZbin teleported me to this video after today's grixis championship video. Not sure I miss this era though. The contrast is real. Hello younger CGB.

[@NeoShark89]

I know it's not a great card but i really like a one of Bond of Discipline in the deck as it can really break a board state and sometimes give you a surprise win.

[@mrdevonscook]

also here helping you dominate the algorithm 👊

[@haydenarishenkoff8147]

My heart absolutely feels for you when you missed the sorcery speed thing man. You got robbed by a simple mistake man!

[@zapntoo4316]

Cheers 🍻 to dominating the algorithm

[@jamesw2855]

Wrecked them, way to go cgb

[@j_anime305]

CGB @ 24:50 "I can do it at instant speed, right?" *preceeds to pass turn* me screaming on the inside and facepalming "Can u not read.. it says SORCERY!"

[@icepick765]

LMFAO mulligans to 6 puts dog away "I dont know if thats going to come back to bite me or not"

[@Sunkan86]

I was expecting this to do well vs red but I didn't expect to go 4/0 in Mythic. This decks is surprisingly strong!

[@-Axecess-]

Hey CGB you should try Speaker in the white enchantment deck you made, makes lots of angels!

[@abj136]

Hey it works! I only had 2 Heliod and 2 Linden and 0 Lurrus, and I cut Alseid for Fight as One, and filled the gap with a really cool enchantment named Aerie that spits out 2/2 birds just for gaining life. Rose up a full diamond rank with this. And added Shadowspear, losing Caskets which is probably a bad idea but stopped running into Priest decks so...

[@leesalt]

Cut two plains, add two healers hawks. Floods far less and can still cast everything in time with the hand smoothing algorithm.

[@Whalesaredope]

"Can activate speaker at instant speed" Triggered me hard, especially after watching Merchant do the same in his video

[@Zaknyfein]

I loved the deck and the mistakes were a bonus! As a White player, I watch your videos because you're a quality deck builder who is able to showcase your decks extremely well. Whether you make mistakes playing White is irrelevant as is my utter contempt for Blue players...

[@emredalgic]

hey man. i just started playing MTGA. and came across your yt. liked the deck anyway. sounds so rushy. i only got 1 heliod in my deck however matching platinums and still smashing some of them :)

[@covertgoblue]

Thanks for the sub! Keep trying stuff out and have fun.

[@emredalgic]

​@@covertgoblue I do have a question if you dont mind replying. I am about to get my first mythic token. i was planning to change that token to Ajani Planeswalker. however this card is M20 and it seems that it will be rotated out at september. so I shouldnt be buying this card now right? am I mistaken? maybe I should go for Basri cuz he is M21 and I can play with him longer? I am just trying to understand the system here. it will be appreciated if u can help.

[@diegovasquezcaballero]

"I can do it at instant speed, right?" oh CGB...

[@ikewhaite4233]

I've been testing this deck with a couple of Broodmoths in it... and it's sweeeet! Just trim down one Heliod and one casket and it's done!

[@mandielyn0416]

Anyone else notice the percentage of going first he had in this video. The game is definitely biased toward aggro going first and this video is just proof. We never get that kind of luck playing control.

[@07mrluke]

Live long enough and see cgb playing mono white lifegain ftw

[@Fierysaint1]

Heliod is so great! Thank you WOTC for throwing us white lovers a bone lol!

[@geotechms]

31:00 CGB achieves his goal of tapping for an angel! 👍

[@orionssfl9491]

if you look at the background of the cards you can tell what card they chose to sac with rankle

[@Ghost_of_El_Ehyeh_Ikh_Spiro]

i would work in 1 faith fetters or ruined halo, replace 1 or 2 heliods with idylic tutor, 2 daxos for 1 mangara and 1 orator, and 1 each of the savior/bounty for mirror shields. just suggestion

[@michaelirwin4447]

I just used a low budget version of this deck to destroy a red mage who refused to attack on a single turn, assumingly because I played first and didn't miss a land drop. But the 8/8 pridemate with a 6/6 queen on turn 4 was probably helpful.

[@kintaro79]

CovertGoWhite! Great to see :)

[@cameronmarsden5598]

As someone who plays a lot of mono white, one of my favorite combos is healer hawk and heliod

[@supaTortoise]

I hate the deck, love the video. Great one CGB

[@Gloryofthereef]

Loving all the misplays, huzzah for the algorithm.

[@leehunt6031]

Fun deck! Thanks CGB

[@adamburston719]

Awesome video, awesome deck. Well done.

[@isaidicanshout]

i'm curious how you didn't encounter a single board wipe that entire time.

[@joboo8]

I like this deck and I updated my other deck a bit. I actually like the imprisioned orator card, so I kept it in my deck.

[@corbble72]

I wouldn’t say mono white life gain is underrated, I would say it is underused.

[@ainwolfson9582]

Wow, mono W lifegain deck by cgb voluntarily! (blink twice if you are under duress) And so many matches! What comes next? A UB mutation deck with 4 copies of Unmoored Ego vs Ugin decks? (Unmoored Ugin) Crazy times ... :-)

[@somekindadragon3414]

I will definitely be building this deck. I’m a veteran of White Weenie Life again in PAPER.

[@qhun3936]

7:40 you should’ve played the Daxos first, as you would have at least 5 devotion, making Heliod a creature, meaning you’d gain a life, therefore putting a counter on a creature

[@severhappiness5301]

I like the part where you forgot that light of hope can just kill anax! edit: also i have been running pacifism in my white black lifegain deck since the start and the amount of questing beasts, uros and sometimes even dream trawlers hit makes me think it's way better than glass casket even if it's worse against e.g. priest in black. Pacifism + Lurrus is such a back-breaking play sometimes!

[@QvsTheWorld]

Could there be room for fight as one? The deck as a good split of human and non-human so you get indestructible for 2 creatures for 1 mana.

[@casperionx]

12-3 in one sitting, run of 11 wins as well...crazy good

[@sango754]

You had me convinced you could make an angel at instant speed, lol.

[@StaticSh0T]

Early Gang Club, do we get free wildcards?

[@SeriousPaul1369]

First, subscribed on Twitch. And secondly but more importantly as usual I enjoyed your content!

[@colethompson5788]

Does the Ozolith do good here?

[@TheschwartzB]

26:26 Correct play is to explosion your own face and have opponent draw 7.

[@corbble72]

0:28 yeah right! Seriously though, are you good? Are you under the influence of some drug?

[@nephiduff2856]

@CovertGoBlue Blink asynchronously for 5 seconds if you're in danger.

[@ryanknaub1057]

this deck is SICKKKK after the banhammer. 4 Lurrus, and add Radiant Fountain x4

[@travisowens5973]

The smartest nerd in all the land.... funny stuff.

[@ultrakombou]

ALL BOW BEFORE THE MIGHT OF MEGAHAWK!!!

[@gemini4328]

You should definitely play alert heedbonder if you're playing speaker of the heavens and Linden. The synergy is just too good ;-)

[@i3azzle]

are you going to cover jumpstart?

[@durpien]

the historic version of this deck is sweet. Overkilling your opponent at 40hp with 7+ giant creatures by turn 4 is nice.

[@zackbucheli9]

Mono white was my first deck. But I'm so triggered that you didn't make the angel against the temur rec. You could of had it all😂

[@fuzz203]

Admit it CGB you enjoyed yourself playing this deck!

[@Spectre-wd9dl]

Been playing MTG since alpha and beta and I've only ever played white. It's good all about the life n defense.
