Creating decks to DOMINATE 2021 Standard LIVE on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/covertgoblue

[@spamus5243]

While I'm still playing 2020 Standard, I definitely am interested in seeimg rotation proof decks getting played as a (mostly) f2p player.

[@Amia_Lily]

Hey CGB, I've been top 500 mythic for a while now but I'm not seeing my name anywhere on the MTG Assistant app, am I missing something I have to do?

[@dittmar104]

That comment about 27 land and sometimes not hitting the third hit real hard. Was playing golgari ramp before we lose citadel and kept getting stuck between 2 and 4. Switched to an aggro deck and as consistently hitting 5 land by turn five.

[@SB-yq5wb]

CGB/Anybody have thoughts on Witching Well vs. Omen of the Sea? Given the slow curve, having a 1 drop has been useful for me, and the card sac+draw on the well (though expensive) is "cheaper" than burning a low X Gadwick, especially if you were screwed out of a Nyx. Also, adding a couple "unnecessary" scry lands was helpful and fabled passages (to shuffle after the owls/Oracles shunt things to the bottom) Other thoughts?

[@andrewedwards781]

Hi CGB, what local time are you on Twitch, as in NZ so just trying to line up the World Clock.

[@gustavu_as]

More 2021 standard, please! Don't know about you guys, but I can't stand playing against nissa anymore lol

[@OfficialMaddeck]

Don't worrry, there's going to be more nissa in Zendikar Rising.

[@theJoeBrito]

KKKKKKKKK só os brazuca

[@jershonlu1164]

I cant stand playing nissa

[@4vendetta1]

You are worried about Nissa when cgb is showing you nearly infinite Mana combos lmfao

[@orionwinterfire]

I /was/ enjoying it . . . Now everyone is gonna be playing a version of my fave deck 🙁

[@jamesw2855]

I love Standard 21, especially since I’m new to the game. Less cards to worry about and collect. Still plenty of great decks to play.

[@traviskronenberg579]

Welcome to the game! I also welcome the rotation, as I didn't want to invest in the older sets

[@OnlyImperius]

Ye same here am on my 3rd day of playing, messing around with green. !!Wizards giv meh questing beast plz thank u!! xxx

[@keenanevans7888]

This is going to be my second rotation since first playing standard. I always liked the narrower standard the best. So I jump on rotation proofing as soon as possible.

[@davestier6247]

Meanwhile I'm drafting Amonkitties like crazy to add to my historic collection. That's what makes this game great! Welcome!

[@pekkapulli]

Yeah it's pretty much perfect for me, too. Haven't played a single Standard match in a week.

[@TheKrensada]

This decks main wincon is making the opponent concede for no reason.

[@patmacrotch5611]

Also known as winning!

[@benzpinto]

i know, right

[@austin8776]

No reason? I mean idk about you but having 5 lands and 2-3 creatures down with no board wipes does not equate to having your nuts speed bagged by a surprise 10+ creatures and like a 50000000000 mana pool lol.

[@purplatypus7405]

2021 standard or as I call it Constructed limited is by far my favorite content and format right now.

[@kazixi]

Cgb: vote with your eyes me: mate you just know im gonna watch it all anyways

[@liammenchaca8860]

Honestly

[@nezzysan]

I swear I haven't watched hour long videos unless they were from an all time favorite Creator.. but I have watched CGB for about a week now? And easily watched 30 or so hour long videos.. love this guy lol

[@Joseph125]

One more thing I love about playing CGB decks: 27 lands means I don't need to spend as many wildcards

[@williamdoss1062]

I love magic it’s an amazing game! And you play in a fun way and it provides fun for us viewers, I’ve only recently found your channel but I love it! Thanks and keep on tapping lmao

[@covertgoblue]

Welcome aboard and thank you!

[@phod123]

Definitely interested in rotation-proof decks, thanks for this!

[@covertgoblue]

Glad you like them!

[@CanuckMonkey13]

I was playing your Simic Adventures 2021 deck last night and I came up against this Mono-Blue Devotion deck. I knew enough to bounce the Lotus the first time I saw it, but didn't think about it too much. On turn 5 they went off and won the game. I immediately came searching for this video (I had skipped it the first time around) because I figured I would want to try this deck for myself. Gonna be fun!

[@lenardEkko]

32:53 ... Umori the freaking Colector baby 😂

[@HZJasi]

Yesterday, I had a match against someone who was trying this deck. A few hours before, i had watched your video, so when I saw my opponent playing the Nyx Lotus I knew what I was going against. I obviously had some previous knowledge on what cards were the engine for the combo so i dedicated myself to deny them and sqeeze some damage whenever I could. I won but it was really fun and challenging to play against it and in my opinion it's a pretty good deck for standard 2021. ✌🏼

[@0ViciousV0]

I feel so good I'm attacking! -CGB against mono red and then they scooped! Lmao GLORIOUS

[@misterplus306]

This is some real combo, involving calculations and fancy tapping and untapping, and I love it!

[@kyzer422]

Ever since you first played mono blue devotion, it's been one of my favorite standard decks. Also, I'd definitely enjoy more 2021 standard videos. Keep up the great content!

[@mikestedham1127]

You're my boy blue! Love the 2021 standard.

[@fajanser]

Umori deck "What if they have a mystical dispute" "In case of agonizing remorse" :D CGB ! :P

[@marlowemouse]

Came here to say that as well ahaha in my head I'm going "stawpp it CGB, its all creatures! Its all creatures!"

[@erikohman2294]

I usually like videos towards the end, just to feel its genuine. This time I liked after seeing the intro. Epic warning.

[@toab77]

The mono black 2020 standard deck you posted a year ago is a list I slightly modified and still has success with to this day. Especially now when Teferi 3 is out of the picture. Thank you CGB :)

[@covertgoblue]

Glad you liked it so much!

[@khepri3266]

I loved LvD’s blue lotus deck and i was wondering what could fill the spot of Kiora. I think Baren was a smart pick.

[@MikeCobo876]

I've actually been hoping for content like this so I can better understand the upcoming metas - looking forward to a continuation of this series

[@Windknightt]

I definitely enjoy the idea of the 2021 standard, to get away from the...general drabble we've all dealt with for two years basically. Lol. Ultimately, metrics aside, you're the vector I come back to watch every day.

[@jrvaughn9038]

Love watching you pilot this deck. Truly a fan of the channel.

[@covertgoblue]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@beans_n_egg9177]

It's jank, but the jank that CGB enjoys. The best jank, if you will.

[@kintaro79]

Really enjoying the Standard 2021 queue. Great to play against a variety of decks again!

[@JoeNeutrino]

CGB, I just want to thank you for all the valuable content you've made. Watching your videos taught me a lot and helped me reach my goal of achieving mythic rank for the very first time... with mono-red. :)

[@Spiegel_92]

I only started getting really into MTGA this spring. Kinda sucks because I missed out on all those amazing GRN block cards. I'm just happy you're finally showing off a deck I can actually make myself in its entirety!

[@Sankray]

Hey man, you looked kinda burned in the video. Personally, i love your content, and it would still be ok if you took a break every now and then, i would keep on clicking whenever you came back. Maybe misread totally, but take care :)

[@davestier6247]

Oh he loves these comments hahaha ( he had a video the other week where he was like I DON'T NEED A BREAK, YOU NEED A BREAK ) lolll

[@brandonmccue7551]

Just want to say I love the idea of making decks for the standard 2021 queue leading up to rotation, althoughI think it would be best to do a mix of both standard 2021 and normal standard videos so you can appease the people who want to see normal standard decks. I know I would be fine with just a few standard 2021 videos. Anyways, I love the idea and think it will be really helpful to help me and others with getting ready for rotation. Keep up the awesome content!

[@satorarepo]

I just tried it (replacing a few copies of cards I was missing with some Teferis and his tutelages) against an Azorius constellation / all that glitters deck. I had a blast

[@tresselholton5214]

CGB: The first person to ever run 27 land in a non control deck

[@MrMangeSmith]

I like 2021 standard videos. Fun to see new experimental brews

[@ubirajaralopes8415]

CGB, on the only match that you've lost, against the mutate deck, you were afraid that the opponent could use Mystical Dispute, but you forgot that he runned Umori, so he could only play creatures.

[@l.p.7585]

Love m21 queues, been playing almost exclusively there, and draft

My favorite deck! I just got a win from the opponent milling me down to my last oracle. How sweet it is.

[@covertgoblue]

Very nice!

[@DaisyR2_]

And its freaking rotation proof.Great deck CGB!

[@frazerman1]

I feel you cgb. Clover on 2 makes me want to throw rocks at wotc employees

[@MineRoyale.]

Honestly eldraine is worse than war of the spark. So many powerful block decks there. Temur and Golgari Adventures, Jund sacrifice, various knight decks, particularly with embercleave, and of course, Oko and the colour green. How did they not realize this?

[@frazerman1]

@@MineRoyale. gets so stale

[@FatboyGengiz]

I'm loving the 2021 Standard games. It' seems a lot less stale than the standard meta.

[@cafemalo]

That horror story of missing a land drop is better than most horror movies.

[@YellowFlamek]

Very nice deck. If it wasn't so rare heavy I would craft this in a heartbeat! Thanks for this vid, keep up the good work.

[@rabbidjeremy9193]

Thanks for the video, I love playing people that try to play your decks but can't do math. Easy wins.

[@purplatypus7405]

I remember a very fun deck almost exactly like this back during the streamer event I was in for Beyond death. Seems like this deck finally has a format it can do well it. Its a amazingly fast deck with the right draw

[@purplatypus7405]

This deck losing Kiora is a huge hit no doubt but still excited to see its still possible and who knows maybe get me some cheese wins

[@KaosKanji]

I basicly play this deck since Nyx Lotus was released. It is basicly the same list, but I play less lands and Brazen Borrower and add 4* WITCHING WELL. Adds to devotion, lets you find lands in early game and draws you cards in your combo turn. Trust me, it makes the deck much more solid and run much more smoothly.

[@Papaconstantopoulos]

Brilliant explanation of the land count 👌

[@ethannumber1]

Please more rotation proof decks!

[@gudrunhartfaust9378]

this is for what i love mtg, always new fun ways to win the game. not as boring as monored aggro players

[@GamertagMythras]

I was hoping you would have shown our match! Mainly to hear your commentary against me when you played Azorius Yorion :P must have been the livestream vs recorded play

[@tmccaskill]

Yes please more Standard 2021 decks. A new video every other day would be nice.

[@kumpfj]

Love the 2021 rotation proof decks. Been working on a few myself. My favorite is Izzet Terror of the Peaks + Experimental Overload. Dump deck full of instants and sorceries into graveyard, get Terror on field and punch face with Overload for 20 in one blow.

[@dcg53]

Rotation proof stuff sounds great to get ready for September. Can’t wait for new standard!

[@calebkent4756]

As a newer player I really appreciate 2021 standard since I cant spent my few wildcards on stuff thats about to be gone.

[@a5h1y]

i am new to magic, i'm playing like 1,5 year or smth, and it was pretty meh until i saw (almost) this deck on SBMTG channel. jeez i fell in love with the game immediately. just do your thing, kill no one, and you will win. awesome.

[@kyzer422]

Yeah, decks like this one really show you the creative possibilities that Magic offers.

[@austin8776]

Using this engine I made a pretty awesome kraken deck with a secondary mill win condition. It’s still got room for improvement I’m sure but I’ve only lost with it once so far. So thank you.

[@covertgoblue]

Nice work!

[@austin8776]

CovertGoBlue Thank you! I’ve already changed it slightly, I realized it was easier to draw my entire deck than it was to mill theirs. So new win cons are swarming unblockable krakens, or drawing my entire deck for the win in mid game. I’m only in gold 1 now so I’m not too sure how it would hold up at higher levels but it’s been one of the most entertaining decks I’ve ever played.

[@orionwinterfire]

I've been playing a version of this since the format was added to arena. It is a blast.

[@JioFreecss]

1:17 instructions unclear, used my sack to like the vid

[@davestier6247]

My sack has been stuck on my coat rack for weeks due to a similar understanding about rakdos sacrifice.

[@martinnielsen3978]

Great thing about standard 21, is that what otherwise would be janky, can now be competitive... I love how my opponents like me are exploring the different mechanics. Just so many great matches are coming out of it. So definitely more 21 while it's still an unsettled meta...

[@horaciococcioni8538]

I think gemrazer is the best card in the 2021 standard right now. It is at least a 4/4 body with reach and trample, but it destroy lucky clovers, yorion decks, anax, embercleave, Lotus, stonecoil serpents, auras... And it cost 3 mana but it's converted mana cost is 4, wich is a big deal in the current standard.

[@OrbGoblin]

Love the 2021 standard content, thx man!

[@cassiopaproctor4033]

I hadn't even seen the video yet, just the title, and I played against this deck and I immediately knew it was this one

[@Spenver]

CGB, I have a great idea for a deck for you! Build your deck, add Yorion, add 20 more land! Or maybe just spells/creatures, no land, get flooded if you're lucky! If you ran all land, you'd not draw a single one though.

[@VinticoreGaming]

I'm into dis format CGB, MORE PLEASE!

[@ferretworldfun341]

This looks like my kinda blue deck. Honestly hate playing counters but value and fliers chef's kiss.

[@mastertwitch1]

CGB, I'm not exactly sure how you got this deck to work, but I just lost a WEEK'S worth of progress in mythic (96 - 86%) trying to squeeze ONE frikkin win out of this. I just went 0 for 13 and never even came CLOSE to a competitive game. It was a one sided curb stomp through EVERY GAME. So as I say, I don't know how you managed it, but I sure as hell couldn't. I hate magic some days.

[@mrblondecpa]

2021 standard is way more fun than standard. Thanks, CGB

[@S3v3nToxy]

Just want to indicate that the new leaked land card from zendikar, seems like it would go very nicely in this deck. As you have alot of mana, you could pumpup the land and go for a killing blow quite effectively. That would serve as a mana dump (what this deck is sometimes missing) and an alt win con.

[@covertgoblue]

Try it out and let me know how it goes.

[@t3st1221]

I prefer wishing well to the omen. The well is a one drop which might help on a nut draw and otherwise it add has much devotion than the omen and if the combo doesn't work it's an emergency draw 2. For the same price (5 mana) you get scry 2 draw 2 vs scry 2 draw 1 scry 2
