FAQ:
Q: Can I send you a deck to check out?
A: Only patrons can send me decks and expect a reply, because I get too many of these requests to manage. Consider joining the discord (links above) and posting your decks in the #decks channel for community feedback.
Q: Why didn’t you play this certain card I would play?
A: Because I don’t think it is as good as every other card in the deck.
Q: Why did you make that play at time stamp XX:XX?
A: I usually talk through my plays, so watch again and see if I mention it (I often do, sometimes during the turn after the play to keep the video moving). If I don’t mention it at all, I may have missed it. I miss plays several times a day, and so do other players.
Q: How can I support the channel?
A: Watching the videos IS supporting the channel. There are many options above if you have extra money and would like to help more. I appreciate it, I have a lot of bills and life stuff to manage, but it is not required. Take care of yourself first, watch the videos, then give other financial support if you really want to.
Q: Will you play janky deck xyz?
A: My mission is to show people decks that they can play often, win games with, and feel successful with. I don’t enjoy decks that strive to achieve an interaction but rarely win (aka, janky decks). There are many successful jank players on KZbin, and you should check out their channels. I am competitive, I like winning, and I like helping others win and feel successful. That is why you won’t see janky combo decks on the channel very often.
Q: Do you show all your games, or do you edit out your losses?
A: I don’t show all my games. The video is usually the best moments of between one and three hours of recording. I remove games for a number of reasons, both wins and losses. Some games are slow, some aren’t competitive because of lands, some are the same matchup over and over. More losses get cut out than wins because winning is more fun for me, which makes for better content for most viewers. It can be disappointing for those who want to see me lose (yes, people watch just to see me lose, I see you!).
Q: If you edit out some of your losses, how do I know if a deck is good and worth crafting?
A: If you watch the entire video, I always give my honest opinion about the deck at the end. As always, you are welcome to draw your own conclusions. My goal is to show off a variety of decks that can get a player with skill and conviction into Mythic, and I want them to have fun doing it. I almost never show a video of a deck that I don’t believe in, and if I don’t like a deck after playing it, I guarantee you will know about it if you watch the whole video and listen to what I have to say.

I play Boros Cycling. I love Rogues, they make me win so fast, most of the time...! Having 20+ cards in my gravy by turn 4 usually means I only need to use 1 giant space laser to obliterate them instead of two or three + fox attacks and such.

Hi CGB, just to let you know I was struggling to ladder up since Kaldheim and with this deck I was able to go from plat 4 to D1. Thank you.

[@Elektero]

just got to Mythic!

[@MK-ie6lu]

Awesome intro CGB... “an equal treatment for all the kinds of kinds[ sic ]” Love the intensity you put in your videos. Stay gold CGB, stay gold.

“Mono green, the color of veggies and vegetables” 😂

There is nothing more satisfying than stomping a rogue player who is spamming emotes. Especially when they have a nuts draw, and still lose.

[@lifeofasalesman01]

Omg I wanted you to win that rogue game SO BAD. So bad. And in typical CGB style, you gave this fan what he wanted.

[@astrickly]

mono green helped me up the ladder last season, very thankful for tips on the new iteration

[@TheStanishStudios]

Man, usually Fblthp avatar players are the chillest emote-wise. Just goes to show how Rogues corrupts your soul!

[@savagesnadgaming7252]

I am a control player through and through like you CGB...but when the entire meta is Sultai...I had to become what I hate... I am 11-0 in Bo3 matches since switching to Gruul Haste Tribal. After I'm done celebrating I'm going to cry myself to sleep. This is what you have taught me. You must judge the meta and become the evil you despise in order to crush them. Thank you sensei. Strike first. Strike hard. No mercy. Covert Kai.

[@savagesnadgaming7252]

Didn't want to make the above comment too long, but I haven't tried Bo3 with the deck in your video yet. I have to imagine the second color adds some extra tools for Bo3 (what I play), but also leads to more inconsistency. Maybe once I lose a match I'll try this CGB/Rumti mono-green concoction.

Carefully measuring how much light is coming in the window in each video in order to figure out what time the KZbin memberships are checked.

Finally a Magic the Gathering deck that plays with creatures and straight up smashes the opponent with creature damage. No blinking, no counterspelling, no discarding, just straight up creature battles. Love it! And .... No Yorian.

[@nicholasreed7207]

would have liked to see old growth troll in ur kaldheim monoG deck

[@shortlived99]

You need to do a god deck. I have been trying to build one, but I don't have enough wildcards to play around. I see serious potential in both standard and historic. Please give it a shot!

[@efitwithnick]

“Welcome to the church!” Needs to be that card’s flavor text so badly.

[@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames]

"Tell me about the randomness of the shuffler. I'll believe you." Just as you said this, I drew a hand that was two plains, two Felidar Retreat, two Ondu Inversion, and an Emeria's Call. Sure. Random.

"Oh, this deck looks pretty good. I'll try it out." loses 4 games in a row....Story of my life watching Arena youtube.

[@NamathCB]

I'm not able to craft much because I've been playing arena for a couple months and do prefer TRYING my own brewing ideas but when i do include a card I've seen devistate on KZbin, mine get "instantly" handled by opponents and i think, "that's not how it worked for CGB" or whoever. Haha. Oh well, FUN THOUGH

[@nuqueerwarhead3564]

Don't get discouraged. Losing four games in a row is totally normal. Statistically, that happens often. I made mythic for the first time last month (using a deck I saw CGB play, with minor tweaks) but then yesterday I think I went 2-12 before giving up. It happens.

[@jacoblarson3299]

[@cobaltdeleon]

Magic: the Smashening

[@JosephFitts]

Re: Rogues It's absolutely not the player CGB, it's the deck. The deck is miserable, because it seems to operate off the idea of "Conservation of fun". That there's only a finite amount of fun that can be had, so you have to hoard it for yourself. Control in general works this way to a lesser extent, since it forces your opponent to watch you play solitaire, but in reality fun is multiplicative. When we both have fun, more overall fun is had and no fun is lost!

[@llongone2]

I love the "Die!!!!" vs. the MonoRed mage.

[@7250Glen]

Why is Blizzard brawl better than Primal Might? They seems very similar. Maybe you touched on it and I missed it... Also, I feel that a few of Snakeskin Veil would be sick for a lot of situations. Preventing a removal spell can be game ending, when your creatures are this huge. Though, I have no idea what to cut for it.
