I genuinely really enjoyed the monologuing. It was interesting to hear what it is like to make content for a channel like this, and to hear about how it still has multiple elements to it that feel "job-like" (i.e., that aren't enjoyable but need to be done).

I appreciate the update/rant/gameplay combo! Best of luck with your busy schedule, excited to see what comes out of it!

[@TheZombiegenesis]

First off, hearing about your cat's safe return was the purrfect way to start the video. Nothing worse than a missing feline friend! As for Arena... well, my enthusiasm is dwindling faster than a Goblin's life expectancy. Being a midrange player these days feels like bringing a knife to either a machine gun fight (dead by turn 3) or a philosophy debate (twenty minutes of "no" followed by death by a thousand Jace cuts). Five-minute matches? That's the sweet spot. Instead, we're either getting speed-dated by aggro or trapped in a control player's TED talk about why we shouldn't have nice things. But here's the thing - you're the last MTG content creator standing in my KZbin feed. Whether you're ranting about the meta, updating us on your cat's latest adventures, or just chatting about life, you make even the grindiest matches entertaining. Your channel is like that rare balanced meta we all dream about - consistently fun regardless of what's being played. Even if Arena and I eventually "consciously uncouple," I'll still be here for the CGB content. Keep being you - there's a whole army of us out here who appreciate your style more than a blue player loves saying "resolves... not!

[@Drew-im7is]

💯 agree! There are long stretches i don't even play MTG but watching you keeps a toe in the water. Love to hear your life lessons on stopping trying to please everyone and doing you!

[@empirate100]

This was very nicely put indeed. Couldn't agree more.

[@Clouded-Logic]

If you like draft you could watch Gomlet. That aside, HARD agree. I have literally just played drafts and starter deck duel for the last two weeks. Standard is just unfun, and red just gets more and more miserable to face with each new set release.

[@zethran8340]

its funny i use starter deck like most to get missions for colors i dont have but tbh ive been using it for anything lately lol. not even cause the matches are easier cause its just people like me in there not new players mostly, but cause the power level isnt insane. going to turn 4 is common in starter deck duels not the exception.

[@thatepicwizardguy]

Yeah honestly CGB is the only person Ill even consider watching play something other than commander in magic. Also I think my favorite commander channel as well tbh... theres other pretty good ones but man I just fkin love the vibe here.

[@behemoth9543]

Its gonna get about 1/3rd more just purely based on the amount of sets that will be part of standard in the future though. Even more if the Universes Beyond sets were designed to be of similar power level to LotR before they decided to make them standard legal, which we can't yet know.

I can't speak to what your audience at large would want, but I do enjoy hearing you talk about stuff.

[@Monjijii]

I came over from the collabs and have never played magic arena and played paper magic maybe 10 years ago. While I came for the collabs I stayed because of the personality and the entertainment you provide and enjoy it here. The only videos I dont enjoy much are the brawl videos since there are so many cards so fast that I dont know that its hard to keep up but everything else is me, you and my food and I hope it stays that way. Love the content cgb and im excited for whats to come.

[@adrianduchateau1]

I used to play Bo1 and got angry all the time. I started playing Bo3 and now I have fun all the time.

[@kyuuno]

yep. you sure do have to invest some extra time and some extra thinking, but it pays off. i dont even get as upset when i lose.

[@VerninTheRat]

I've thought about going over to BO3. I have never even tried it. I guess it's partly because of me not knowing how to sideboard, and also just thinking it will take too much time. Perhaps, I will gravitate over there, and chill out. Seems like because of the time already invested, you are eliminating a lot of rope-babies. I've played a lot of Dragonball Legends, whilst playing Arena - Let's just put it that way, lol. Which is quite ridiculous, to have to have a game to play while you are waiting to play the one you already have running.

[@nulshift]

@@VerninTheRat Yeah likewise, I could never figure out how to brew a good sideboard. Sure I could just look up a deck and copy it and it's sideboard, but half the fun of magic is making a deck. As for the rope babies, they mostly don't exist in bo3 because it'll be a guaranteed loss for them, as you have a turn timer in bo3 formats. And the amount of time you have left does not reset on game 2 and 3. Rope grief on game 1 and you won't have enough time to play in game 2 or 3. If they're the type that don't care if they lose from roping though, they'll still do it. (Usually the kind that just loses from roping out rather than this opponent where they were never actually finishing their rope)

[@yavivanov6650]

Guys, it's easy to sideboard. Just get to know the meta, and include cards which are silver bullets to the strategy of the most popular decks. Go from there and you'll soon start to adjust your sb according to personal experience and card choices

[@kyuuno]

@@yavivanov6650 yo it’s not easy. It’s injected in older players (like myself) because it’s just what it is, but it is another skill to learn. And requires decent understanding of the meta, and a little bit of prediction too. It’s a step for someone that’s started on bo1

[@OGNoNameNobody]

That special moment when your opponent thinks they have the Galaxy-brain play, but it turns out that, no, no they're just an asshat.

[@westonwillard2698]

I'm a control player and stopped stopped standard for the first time in a couple years just because the meta is so unbalanced. My best friend is a monorad player and I was shocked to find out that he also quit because he also found the entire format way too fast. I think wizards of the Coast doesn't truly understand what the players want. Because all that they get is a smiling face or fronting face. I think the interpreted it that when they are faster games that you win, people are happier. But reality is most of us don't realize what we truly want. We hate losing grindy matches but those are also the games that we love the most. When I play Commander with my friends sure it's it's a ton of fun if I win a game in 15 minutes, but nobody else has fun because they can't participate. I would much rather enjoy an hour-long game where everybody has a chance to show off their deck. I feel like the same thing is with standard. Worst of all is how they treated brawl. The new commanders have made it where where you can no longer play a commander. That's more than four mana because cuz you're just too behind. I'm bored to this New powercrept 1 and 2 mana commanders. Either way I always love hearing your thoughts on standard. It keeps me from going insane especially because brawl's now in a bad place.

[@sawyermifsud852]

BO3 Standard is the best it's been in a long time. So it's just the BO1 meta. Which already trended towards these types of decks due to how BO1 works.

[@electricVGC]

Bo1 is targeted to a much more casual audience so regularly having 1 hour games would be a hard sell to people playing in downtime at work or in the back of a school classroom

[@tennicksalvarez9079]

I started arena this year but i kinda stop because the greed and grind was not fun to deal with so now i mostly play commander with proxy or play arena with my brother or bot to double check mechanic

[@ashtheswan705]

Ive stopped playing brawl because it really does feel like you get stomped if you dont keep up with meta cards, including all the staples that get printed as rares and mythics in bonus sheets. obviously yeah formats change and thats eventually what happens to non-rotating formats, but still makes me sad that i cant jam my favorite decks without expensive upgrades.

First.. I'm glad you were able to lure the kitten back with a nice sacrifice of numnums to their liking and second.. I rarely play arena now a days but never miss a video by you your mixture of game play knowledge desire to inflict pain on your opponents through the constricting usage of value and control while still being a grounded human being with empathy for your fellow man is refreshing and I will continue to support you and partake in your brand of entertainment daily, and lastly ..YOU'RE cool.

CGB I stick around and listen to the "ranting" lol. We're all human. Just appreciate the fact that you keep putting out videos. Also just watched your Halloween commander video. Was super entertaining.
