My #1 Control Deck in this meta.

[@vietquang8739]

I think people forget how much CGB love drawing, I genuinly believe that he would rather have his entire library on hand than winning the game

[@sammysammyson]

As a fellow control mage, touching cards is like crack. I don't care if I win. Let me touch every card in my deck. Let me HOLD them.

[@N3gativeR3FLUX]

Bow I want to see CGB draw some artwork

[@TheEdwinDroom]

It's so much fun. I have a somewhat janky gates deck where I had 119 cards in hand the other day as I hit them with my 64 power Dream Trawler. They were lifegain (like half the meta in historic) and were a little surprised that 54 life wasn't enough to survive 1 turn.

[@Sir_Master]

In every game I play I make it clear: my goal is to have more cards in my hand, not to win.

[@KinevW]

You are an MTG celebrity, the "hellos" are respect, believe me. Its a cool and rare treat to be matched up against our favorite creators! Just MHO. Keep up the great work!

[@aGamingApe]

I was in shock.. I alt-tabbed to see if he was streaming, that's why I played that first turn so slow haha, not BMing

[@Lordidude]

​@aGamingApe why wouldn't you do that after the game and just give it your best regardless?

[@felity1773]

i always say hello, no matter the opponent. makes me feel like i'm not playing against a machine...

[@aGamingApe]

Hey! I was the opponent in the first game. You sure did smite me haha My opening hand was so slow with double Commune and double Oss, I think. And I definitely was trying to play around Emperor before you even had one. That card is my worst nightmare This was so cool to watch though. Thanks for complimenting the deck and (some of) my plays! GG :D

[@angerer51]

So glad you're playing this deck again. I built it and my win rate is through the roof ~80%

[@Surya-uj7re]

This deck got me from Diamond to Mythic in record time last season. But I did replace some of the cards with two Temporary Lockdowns. Too many weenie decks in the meta.

[@Oso-Gaming]

This is absolutely a chore to play against. Memory Deluge is by far the most broken card in the deck. Waiting for your opponent to stall out until their third Jace is incredibly boring. At least mono Red has the decency of killing you quickly.

[@tuomasronnberg5244]

You don't need to play against this deck, conceding is even quicker than losing to mono red :3

Honestly I was hoping to see a tuned version of one of your main decks, so I'm happy to see this video. Looking for something relatively reliable to craft for Standard until I have more wildcards.

[@interestedviewer2097]

If you play it well, you will rank up, but mtga will put you against thalia turn 2 when you start going hot, gotta be aware thats a 8/2 matchup for them

[@Harmageddon_Gaming]

love me some Azorius control. Though I took out Irencrag and put in Cut Your Losses which the Casualty trigger pairs nicely with Sunfall incubate. pretty much ends games if they can't stop it

[@Harmageddon_Gaming]

Also, the wandering emperor synergizes extremely well with it too.

[@andreaspooky6183]

for a moment I thought this deck was about milling...

[@henrygandelman]

I'm very interested in a built with Isshin, Two Havens as One in Historic Brawl. Maybe a little more midrange variant. Perhaps you find some time 🙂

[@the_r4ts]

Isshin, Two Havens as One Legendary Snow Land {T}: Add {C}{C}. {S}{S}{S}{S}{S}{S}: Isshin, Two Havens as One becomes an 8/6 creature with vigilance and all creature types until end of turn. It’s still a land. _({S} can be paid with one mana from a snow source.)_

Stack. Get lost resolved before Tamiyo's safekeeping.

[@paulboggess3689]

[@mattheusspoo]

you could try this deck with millenium callendar instead of mill for wincon. Teferi would really help the calendar to build up

[@Superacerc]

I made this deck to try it and now i get matched more than 50% of the time with 120-250card decks lol. It works fairly well when this isnt the case though.

[@andyhanlin5800]

This feels similar in some way to the deck i play its a black red ramp deck and us control one of my favorite way to win is decking them with my 2b dragon, Chandra, and breach. Its fun.

[@DuzaRed]

Where did you get your sweater from CGB?

[@7Alberto7]

That coin is pretty fricking amazingly epic omg

[@Sandovian]

I'm on something similar. Two less direct removal for Depopulate and Farewell, and I play with the Elspeth's Smite spot. Map tokens can turn off Smite. Will run Knockout Blow instead if I'm facing alot mono red. Anyway. It's not a pleasant grinding deck. Durdle control is like casual+ MtG strategy, and folks still get salty over the Mill. Still too much value when cards ETB, also. I wonder if maybe the meta needs more counterspells or discard than it currently runs.

[@SupeRTIT4N]

Map tokens are good for mill because it makes your opponent draw more cards. That’s the point.

[@richieman6]

As a WotC ambassador, will you be getting your own CGB in-game emote?

I've had some success with this deck as well. That said, as always it's worth remembering that Magic is a heck of a lot of FUN, but it's really quite poor when it comes to being a fair competitive game. I might go 10-1 with this deck, only to get terrible draws and end up 1-10 the next time.

Couldnt CGB win the firs game by taking the second jace from memory deluge, then get lost the ossif and next turn play 2 jaces, losing 2 life to the phyrexian mana and milling the opponent for 45?

[@KroyX]

I find it ridiculous when Control players look down on Aggro players (I'm mostly a Midrange player). All you do is removal and card gain. Repeat and add some life gain. Tedious and not much skill involved either.

[@railander]

Yeah, like playing endless removal, Wandering Emperor and Sunfall is a great strategy that needs a lot of thinking.

[@Sandovian]

And all aggro does is try and manage threat presentation and turn things sideways, and all midrange does is try to be proactive and out value their opponents. .. so?

[@yavivanov6650]

so playing creatures and hitting attack all button EVERY turn of EVERY game involves more skill? OK

[@KroyX]

@yavivanov6650 Never said that. Read again, I was referring to players who look down on Aggro players.

[@KroyX]

@Sandovian Read again. Nice that you agree though.

@ConvertGoBlue why do you hate when people say Hello? It's like an introduction. In person you don't just sit down and play. You at least introduce yourself right? Just seems like because its online people are more rude to others and not saying hello back seems rude to me.

[@Sandovian]

Arena is necessarily impersonal. WotC made it that way intentionally. Also, no. I don't cheerfully Hello! everyone I play with in real life. That involves actual conversation and a back and forth - which is not similar to Hello! It's kind of like the folks who say glhf at the start of every OW match. If it's always said, it becomes meaningless. The least toxic emote is not using emotes.

[@qlethsbagofdecks4959]

@Sandovian I'm not saying in person that people say hello, but they do introduce themselves. At least I do unless, of course, the person I'm playing with is someone I already know.

[@qlethsbagofdecks4959]

@Sandovian I agree saying glhf is meaningless. It's not the same as saying hello as a simple greeting.

[@Sandovian]

@@qlethsbagofdecks4959 a greeting has no purpose if there's no subsequent exchange. The word greeting implies more to come, and that doesn't happen on Arena. Should be opt-in chat. Or any semblance of social features. Or fuck, I'd settle for working private challenges. I'm livin on a dream here
