🌳 INFINITE MANA | Selvala Mono Green Combo Ramp | Historic Brawl

[@jamesgreenwood1703]

Hey CGB there is a cool card on arena that can untap Selvala every time you cast a spell which works really well since usually you cast big stuff and don’t have enough mana left after. It’s called paradox engine and I think it would go really well in this deck

[@PaulBlaise]

Some people just want to see the KZbin comment section burn.

[@mikastrae]

eh, it's kind of a weak card, tbh. who would wanna cast spells and untap a powerful mana dork in magic?

[@professorkhepri]

Unless it’s green idk how you could run it, and if it’s an artifact I don’t see much synergy if all it does is just untap yk, like if it was really good more decks would use it right?

[@Hitzel]

Why run Paradox Engine when you could be running Malachite Talisman?

[@professorkhepri]

[@brawlhub]

Very fun to see you play this deck. You are sounding more and more like the format fits you, hope you're continuing to enjoy it. A lot of these games make me remember why we (re)started the league, like the game versus Tasha : the early concedes make the story stop, and you lose out on some really fun back and forth games.

[@franciscojose6512]

Well if you plan on untapping nonland permanents i think there's an artifact you might be interested in

[@v3rtigo_]

Would love to see you make a Historic Brawl queue list, or list the commanders in/close to Hell Queue

[@fishstickmystic]

That condescending Nice! at 6:50 followed by a reading of the card. Gotta love it lol

[@Fr4nzmann]

big props for shouting out the other content creators. loving the video as usual

[@DewyTheDuelist]

that was heartwarming, i appreciated it too :)

[@crysalin2133]

It's so cool that you're more in historic brawl on this channel now! And very entertaining because you are playing magic for a very very long time I think, because you are really good at reading your opponents and give so much information about what you are doing that I can make sometimes only listen to your content and know really exactly what's going on on the board 👌

[@zedek_]

Hey CGB, not sure what prompted it, but I really appreciate the shoutout you included for other cool Historical Brawl creators!

[@JellyPaladin]

I had abandoned Selvala for pretty much the reason you said, where she just runs into so many removal-heavy decks and gets nowhere. Still, I might have to give her another go since Staff of Domination wasn't in Arena last time I was playing her. Infinite mana is my kind of fun even if it rarely happens!

[@Hitzel]

Did you try Marwyn too?

[@aidan8473]

She's the best mono green commander imo - the deck is still super resilient without her. It's not like Captain Sisay

[@Hitzel]

"Kinnan is oops all value and Selvala makes you work for it." oh CGB, if only you knew what the EDH version of this deck was like.

[@TonyS-ge1ct]

at 11:00 Ranger's Guile on the dinosaur to make it 6 power -> flow 6 mana cast staff of domination untap Selvala then use the final mana to tap Selvala for 6 -> untap staff and untap selvala which will net 1 mana each time and should be a win there

[@robbiestrong-morse730]

11:16 If you drop the staff you can go infinite.

[@TheAndymacm]

you're forgetting that he has to ranger's guile the swordtooth first.

[@robbiestrong-morse730]

@@TheAndymacm Yeah you're right, my brain saw 4 mana to untap sylvala and sylvala making 5 and thought it was infinite, thx for the correction

[@cruisinglifewithken2697]

Love the shout out to LVD (legend) I have said it before and say it again you guys are the best in the KZbin business! When is the next collab? Jank? 😝

[@professorkhepri]

I’m a very simple person, I watch half the video for lunch, and the other half for dinner. It’s become a routine and I don’t know how I feel about it- but I always love the content!

[@Ocramman86]

2 turn clock with lair of the hydra @31:34 maybe opponent saw the writing on the wall after revealing straight real estate on the deluge flop.

[@guyfirecreeper3762]

Selvala is one of my favorite cards. I like not having to worry about mana

[@j.c.rapper2466]

I love this deck I have a ramped up version of this deck in paper for CEDH

[@ketoinvestor]

VS Tasha, like you said: if you hadn’t missed that card draw off Vorinclex, and drew a way to untap Selvala, you would’ve had to pay G for the untap, Selvala would tap for GGGGGGG, cast Staff for GGG, pay GGG to untap Selvala, pay G to use Selvala for another GGGGGGG, repeat (also, before even starting this, the one Forest you had untapped now taps for GG)

[@grimmonolith]

"Are you telling me elves will use an artifact to win?" - "No, I am just saying - life will find a way."

[@davidsilversky4560]

At 20:00 or so if you had tapped selvage to make 5 green from Rhonas, you could've untapped her with the elf and made 4 extra mana which would've probably been enough to kill the opponent

[@paulgrant8144]

yay more mono green! second only to mono red!

[@Chance801]

More and more turning into CGG!

[@t-dogn6171]

Holy macaroni. That was nuts.

[@dannywyles7076]

What general changes would you make to it in a group of 4 with commander?? Would love to watch covertgocrew!!!

[@Lordidude]

Use better cards like Sol Ring lol

[@CinemicMagazin]

Legendvd is a true inspiration super creative and explanatory.

[@MetalHev]

The usual issue with weird monogreen combo/control brews like this, is that the opponent usually dies before you actually do the thing

[@SmashPortal]

I'm convinced CGB is a James Woods character, like Hades and Owlman.

[@alexanderforbes1452]

I have a Sylvaka deck I really like but don't play much for the reason you said in the middle of the video. Sylvala's very good, but that's kinda her problem, if she doesn't go off like crazy (which she definitely can do) then she tends to get victimized by the removal heavy decks she tends to get paired with because of her potential power. It's feast or famine, really. When you see a deck without blue or black you smile because unless they're some kind of board wipe heavy mono white or something weird like then they're gonna lose to your big, green men. I've been thinking of just swapping out Sylvala for Gwenna, she's a strictly worse version of Sylvala so you won't need to change the 99 much if at all and you don't get paired with Bolas and Teferi every game, at least, hopefully.

[@joebrandt6400]

CGB - can Varis, Silverymoon Ranger be good? Lots of venturing into the dungeon? Or is there a better Brawl commander for that! I wanna venture

[@maxwelltabb6387]

thx cgb, very cool!

[@adduletment]

At 11:30 you could’ve cast staff to get infinite mana. You had exactly enough mana to do it instead of casting the artifact creature 7/7 I forget his name.

[@Darkeep12]

And here I was thinking that Traxos I opened way back when I was starting playing Arena was basically useless.

[@TheOli4521]

Selvala, Heart of the Wild. My first love.

[@williamwhitley3738]

@11:00 misplay... infinitte mana/life/card draw available

[@rubsomebacononit9843]

Dope deck, consider me a “Sevala fan” from now on.

[@gageontwowheels]

THE TARRASQUE

[@zakrillnakoneyan]

Hmm... Ever thought of making a blue troll deck? Y'know... you don't really have any real way to win with it but you just keep countering everything, returning to hand, drawing cards and then shuffling graveyard just to calmly continue the process? you may add some happy bye-byes (I think they're called Farewells) for safety and more peaceful resolution, just waiting until the opponent concedes... How about that? Wanna show us a deck like this Mr. CGB?

[@michelerota8804]

daaaimz this give me ideas for an Aeve, progenitor ooze infinite green deck 💚

[@morten123456789]

at 11.09 you had the win. Rangers guile the swordtooth, 6 mana each cycle with staff, staff cycle is only 5 mana. 11 times in a row, ulamog, cycle becomes easier. Done deal. Unless the opponent had a 1 mana removal capable of taking care of either creature (highly unlikely) It was a done game. Unless I am not seeing something.

[@mapleheaf7648]

CGB can you have a crack at Ashaya, Soul of the Wild in Historic Brawl?

[@ondrejkromer5732]

Seeing how you always get excited to play some big dinos, will we be seeing Gishath or Zacama deck soon?👀

[@pretends2know]

21:16 As someone that's played their fair share of cEDH, no, Selvala should be in Hell queue. She may be weaker in Arena, but she's still degenerate, and green is pretty close to keep up with blue and black.

[@ObscenumLoL]

Any chance for a Nicol Bolas Ravager video before you go back to standard? Pretty please :D

[@muditjohar5323]

Looks cool. Time to try it out

[@krimhorn]

Selvala is definitely a victim of being Reeeahlly Good but not busted. HBrawl really needs more fine grained control over its matchmaking so that Selvala can hit other Really Good creature decks more often without running into the Just Busted decks of Hell Queue as often. Unfortunately the way things end up working the way they're implemented Selvala is either getting run over by the busted decks or running over the lower powered fun decks and there really isn't much inbetween.

[@jordangross5930]

Are you going to make videos of the new set?

[@Thenochillofcomedy]

No cap I love The Terrasque

[@ryanrichards4901]

[@AbrahamZuniga-zj4wo]

Im curious if played in a edh game would it be possible to play in a game of cedh as well will it be able to handle it and what cards would you add Sevala is my first edh deck and I recently wanted to make it Cedh

[@austind7232]

Define Cedh? If we're talking real competitive, can it consistently win on turn three or four when gold fishing? And if it can, can it do it through removal or without the commander? Keep in mind the top combo in cedh is a two card combo using 3 mana. Now if you it's a really mean high powered format, yeah I've seen her pop off.

[@Taromisaki666]

I was wondering why there's no Nyxbloom Ancient in the Deck and then I found out that it's banned in Brawl. :O

why is everyone leaving the game... are the players in this game only willing to play a game they are about to win? and you just run away from everything that could be a longer battle? i dont get it... is it the same with the paper cards? never played this, but if the players are that unwilling to play im not sure if i would enjoy that game.

I have to say this: castle garebvrig is USELESS, you have to tap 4 other lands AND it to get 6 mana, so you trading 5 mana for 6 witch only comes in handy like 0.1% of the time, any way you look at it your trading 5 mana for 6 and there are other green cards that trade less mana for the same benefit like any mana rock that taps for 2.

[@alexpedraza6573]
