Do you enjoy watching me punt?

[@josephgabel234]

As long as they’re not stupid enough that I’d be confused how you’re a good magic player

[@superquasar1977]

I do, it's very interesting listening to your commentary, can't wait to see what you make for the new set

[@adamriley5640]

I think it’s funny that your so good at magic but so slow at combing xD

[@LeMuzi]

Loved that you included the losses.. the deck is a combo deck and you need to show the common mistakes being made. I'm looking forward to you making a Gyruda deck . It's quite fun and I've included a viable deck list in the Historic Brawl Stronghold.. it's quite fun and I'm usually lurking there hence the username..

[@getlooky736]

Too painful

[@Chris-yn9lf]

I have been enjoying watching CGB Historic Brawl more than standard CGB

[@davestier6247]

Same, I have only started watching him again after a long break since he started doing hbrawl content. I have zero interest in standard and he doesn't really do limited.

[@Failypso]

I like both, but this has far more variety

[@daemeonp]

Doodle bells

[@Zweiken]

He just seems so much happier doing HBrawl content, I'm a fan for that reason alone!

[@NightfallTH]

Standard is soon boring. Hopefully he will continue with Historic and Explorer

[@BeastLikeBauer]

This was like watching MonoBlackMagic with all the misplay's. I loved it. It's relatable to stumble through a new deck

[@HectorMendoza-dq1ny]

Ilove mono black Magic missplays, he's more focused on having fun than winning.

[@nielsbom5558]

Yuuuuge macdoooge!

[@austinspare6214]

MBM has the most annoying talking pattern I've ever heard in my life.

[@ao_qd]

I love seeing galaxy-brain combo decks like this. It's madness!

[@Gaspa79]

When you got the caravan at 51:15, to combo properly instead of playing it directly you can activate mutavault first, sacrifice it and search for dark ritual. You play ritual, then caravan, add mana with caravan, end up with 2 black 3 green. Search for squirrels (spend 1 black 1 green) and win the game.

[@tommygol15br]

Or do the Caravan stuff like he did but go for Henge instead of squirrels, play it and qq (7mana). Now Animate Mutavault, go for Engine and with the last mana start the party with Veil

[@icounterculture]

100% agree that historic brawl is much more fun to watch than standard.

[@jfar3508]

The best strategy against Paradox Engine is the Arena timer.

[@olafthemoose9413]

Was waiting for this video ever since watching the tournament Will definitly pay more respect to old stickfinger from now on. The deck reminds me of the razacats combo that you can do in EDH

[@Icameron259]

I prefer to just play Old Stickfingers as a straightforward "reanimate big creatures turn after turn until I win" deck. After watching this, that is still the case - I am definitely not prepared to think that hard about combo turns every game haha

[@ImNotFine]

Yo, love that you feature that deck on your channel!

[@bgm501]

Second to last game, if you get coalition relic instead of verdant command, you can then get 6 mana, activate mutavault sac and get command, and then combo off (getting henge, engine, cast veil to untap)

[@austinhenley3083]

CGB content is best when he is having fun and you can tell he is enjoying what he is doing with these!

[@LoriEmiralitore]

ok i havent watched the video yet, but i have been thinking about old stickfingers for 2 days now. I was like, well this weekend i will sit down and craft a deck with him. And then this drops. Thank you for all your wonderfulness CGB been waching you daily for the past 2 years or so. Much

[@brawlhub]

"Nope… Scratch that… My bad." Sounds like my internal monologue when playing, love it! 😆

[@gabriellisi7349]

Genuinely in love with this series

[@Guerrilla9]

This was my first commander deck. I went with a true reanimator with fatty creatures vs combo. Deck does well. Good video

[@danielbarnabybroad]

Thank you. I have started to enjoy magic again thanks to you introducing me to Historic Brawl. My son needs lunch so that's on you.

[@AtrociousNightmare]

haha what a video! Loved it. Whoever comes up with these decks is... different haha

[@hcgtrplaya92986]

The first two games hurt my head to watch.

[@tuomasronnberg5244]

That combo is absolutely ridiculous. I love it!

[@robertomontoya3901]

Men, love this brawl videos. Keep it coming.

[@wesrouse2599]

It's so hard to pick a favorite video, at least until today, this is it. Peak content 12/10 enjoyed this one 😂😂

[@zaubermaus8190]

nice. reminds me a bit of poppin off with a song of creation deck and getting it right with the mana and all ^^

[@hellproof2379]

I watched this deck in the tourney and I knew you would want to make the deck. It’s such a fun combo

[@Unnreal12]

Hell yeah! SUFFERING!!!

[@derekp2628]

Love the fact you have recognition to other mtga KZbinrs. Also, it's totally fine messing up with a new deck. Hell I do it all the time with some of your decks I've made. All a learning process

[@davidbiggin6109]

I wouldn't mind trying historic brawl but I only started playing at Kaldheim so I'm missing too many of the rare and mythic staples from the older sets

[@olafthemoose9413]

It's tough at first but eventually you'll get there. A lot of the cards are staples that go in a lot of different decks.

[@8mask]

Best part about HB is you really only have to craft 1 copy of everything

[@orionwhite8429]

There is standard brawl as well and you can really explore the space and use historic brawl as a guide.

[@dracosfire7247]

There are lots of uncommon and common replacements if you don't mind playing a bit behind. The mana will be the only noticeable issue, so try some mono/dual color decks first.

[@timedGuano]

@@8mask That's what makes it great for longtime players-youve probably opened at least one of each rare and mythic just from packs bought with cold and random cards from the daily wins over the years. For a new(ish) player that's still a dozen or two rarest and mythical cleaning out a whole season of playing for one deck.

[@stevensmith578]

Stayed for the intro and till the end Nice to see you're human too

[@astroboltos7292]

Bro this deck is so much fun

[@tarfire4221]

Respect for shouting out your peers

[@lonesamurai7788]

CGB!!! Please 🙏 put your spin on Jadzi!!! For historic brawl!! I'd love to see you play Jadzi as a commander.

[@mr.cleanarchonoflight8120]

This video deserves to be in the higher view count most popular videos section of the channel. This is a rare episode.

[@fisher4551]

classic CGB win from roping the opponent

[@Atizzle121310]

You losing to your own rope had me in shock lol I’ve never seen you blunder so bad. You took a queue from Michigan lol 😂

[@superquasar1977]

I've loved these decks so far I wasn't a big fan of mono green but I'd really like to see you make a mutate apex deck

[@hellproof2379]

Props to Autech for letting us watch the combo finish

[@AndrewWeakland]

Just ran into CGB testing Rafine in HB. Looking forward to it, even tho he went soft and scooped on turn 3. 😂

[@Croltown]

prolly because you played something degenerate stuff

[@davidradford5142]

Love the deck I added skeleton swarm and its pretty solid in there

[@pauljosepharcher]

it's ok cgb, we'll get em' next time

[@Gray-dr2ri]

I have a super cool deck idea that I think you might really like. Its an alternative to the lantern control modern deck. It’s Go Shintai of Lost Wisdom commander (the blue one where you mill equal to the number of shrines you own, but it’s the only shrine you use, so it always mills 1 card). Then you play mishras bauble as a target for Mycosynth Gardens, which can turn into an extra bauble that you then use each turn to look at your opponents deck. If they’re about to draw a good card, you mill it with your shrine. Then, since the gardens goes to your graveyard, you use crucible of the worlds to keep playing it every turn. Then you fill your deck with counter spells, bounces, and other control cards as well as a bunch of cards that tutor artifacts and spheres. I would love to see what you do with the deck.

[@giovannishepard653]

I am forever grateful that paradox engine was banned from Commander. Dunno if I could keep a straight face losing to this one.

[@absence9443]

The variety is great, how do you come up with such interesting decks

[@xavierbucher5405]

this deck was featured in top 8 of a historic brawl tournament cgb commentated recently, i recommend watching the vods, they're great!

[@chaz921dren8]

Cgb, just dont have nightmares. You will do it someday big guy lol

[@DarkCloudian]

Always going to watch your videos and support, but can't wait for the standard videos to come back

[@xavierbucher5405]

yeah i'm learning to like brawl more but i still play way more standard. next set will be super exciting

[@the_r4ts]

47:30 Omg CGB mentioned me :D

[@therzook]

mind boggling, but superb

[@peggle09]

I have a cEDH deck with Sticky that uses Necrotic Ooze, Walking Ballista and Phyrexian Devourer. Its fun

[@veeclash4157]

If you get the relic, with the ancient out, you get 6 mana out of it, 3 black and 3 green mana.

[@seanmorrison6062]

Great video, it's very unique. By the way I notice the subscriber count is getting close to the fateful number...

[@Michael.032]

My favorite mill deck

[@Denjia]

That second game 😂

[@slysi84]

Damn!!! Well played CGB, went from noob to rookie to pro in 3 games!!! Awesome deck though. I love combo decks and admire and respect the time it takes to learn them, but they are not for me, I have no patience for combo.

[@Krazyabe]

Couldn't help but notice how close you are to 169420. You still gonna do Jinny G with prismatic bridge when you get there? Could still do it in explorer right?

[@EclipseShadowScale]

the fact this is a mill combo in these colors

[@markjohnson406]

This is super weird. At least you got to play it out and show the combo.

[@Silenceaverted]

What potential commander is arguably the worst possible you could use for Historic Brawl?

[@sawyermifsud852]

I feel like a faster version (timewise) of this combo can be done by grabbing the Exquisite Blood+Sanguine Bond combo

[@mathematiger1286]

You would need a lot more mana in that case, which would delay the Combo too many turns.

[@doomkingraye7692]

The turn st minute 55 you could have directly searched for henge You had 3 greeb mana Use 2 for henge, tap for 6 Use 1 to power up the land, sac to search for paradox Use 5 to cast paradox You have 1 green still Cast veil of summer I had to think about this for 10 mind so dw, the deck is hard

[@mathematiger1286]

Yes there were multiple situations where he could have won a turn earlier or at least some steps faster ^^

[@henryknyolt5383]

the life the suffering i feel it but pls dont miss out the jank miss the jank cgb in histiroc

[@P4bloM4n]

25:25 I sleep 😴 and wake up in laugh 😂

[@blackiceecko1]

Have you ever done a Mirror March and panharmonicon combo?

[@emperorurbi]

But can you get an elf paradox engine up in running?

[@matthewbryan6774]

Mbm is that you? 😂😂😍😍

[@macmusial3644]

I always forget that Old Stickfingers only mills the revealed creatures and not all of the revealed cards like Hermit Druid, so I spent a minute or two losing my mind over the first cast when it looked like he just ripped all three creatures off the top in a row without any other reveals

[@grimmonolith]

Fun deck. I am not totally familiar with the most recent banned list. Is LED legal? Looks like a great card for that deck. I also tried to replace the Nyxbloom/Henge/Engine part and came up with two ideas: Eternal witness/Phyrexian Altar/Tendrils (or Chatterstorm). Witness/Feign and Altar do loop and you get unlimited life loss/damage or Squirrels/Mana and Tutors (as long as you have life). Another option for me seems to replace Nyxbloom with Symbiotic Wurm. That‘s up to 8 tutors (as long as you have the life). Could that work?

[@MetalHeadedNoah]

LED is not on Arena, not sure about some of the other cards you mentioned

[@mathematiger1286]

Without Nyxbloom you won't have enough mana to accelerate the combo out of 1 or 2 mana. Additionally, you need an early source of lifegain because otherwise you would not be able to win vs aggro decks in general.

[@grimmonolith]

@@mathematiger1286 thanks for the reply. As I understand it, in the line with 1 black mana up, you do not get to lifegain (Henge) until you already tutored six times, so I think the lifegain from the Henge is not vital in that case. I get that you need the mana for Caravan/Harrow/Diregraf/Engine (pretty cool chain by the way) or Verdant Command/Engine. But with Eternal Witness/Phyrexian Altar you just need three Mana for the Altar to get the loop going. So you only tutor for Dark Ritual/Altar and you are set, because you already have the other two pieces (Witness and Feign).

[@mathematiger1286]

@@grimmonolith I dont see a particular line wich would allows you to win without any mana (or 1 additional mana) and no other creatures after casting Feign Death on Young Necromancer the first time.

[@grimmonolith]

@@mathematiger1286 Yes, for 0 or 1 available mana, the Mox Amber / Nyxbloom is probably the only way to get it off the ground the same turn. But for 2 available mana the alternative works. The upside is that you need fewer cards (and no Paradox Engine) to kill, therefore the life total is not under that much pressure. But i admit the Mox/Nyxbloom/Caravan/Harrow/Diregraf/Henge/Engine line does not only work with no additional mana available - it is also a real work of art.

[@kylegriffin2451]

This is such a degenerate strategy. I love it.

[@gaberubin2585]

Brawl is so much more interesting than standard

[@matthewsanchez7953]

Ow, my brain.

[@CristianCiotti]

Really interesting, but what is oppo has Gaea’s Blessing in the deck?

[@mathematiger1286]

Cauldron's third ability lets you exile it on the stack. Therefore, you just need to search for an instant to untap Cauldron.

[@McDankEntertainment]

In Paper Magic Old Stickfingers Necrotic Ooze Skirge Familar Asomodaus ....Torment of hailfire.....

[@andrespestchanker3443]

Allmost good 😅😅😅

[@drunklog1crecords144]

He just needs to play cedh. He’ll love it! Come over to the dark side!!!

[@Darkeep12]

Tempted to craft this, but my old man apm would just screw it up.

[@Wowness8787]

Wouldn't [[weather the storm]] or [[tendrils of agony]] make the combo faster and while having an alt wincon?

[@mathematiger1286]

They do indeed make the combo a bit quicker. I had those cards in earlier versions. However, they are terrible outside the combo and not required to win. So i cut them since any interaction is usually better to safe you from loosing instead if making the combo a bit "better". Bala Ged Recovery sort of serves as a backup plan. Bisides that there is just the good old Razaketh beat down while controlling the bord with free searches.

[@jordanshelton8575]

💀🌴 combo with 🏒 🖐

[@mallaznajmi3889]

cHB cHB cHB!

[@koriemcnamara2977]

This deck was amazing :) please do a zombie deck

[@SpinAroundU]

Punts are funny, timeouts are sad. But it's your reaction that makes it good content or not!

[@jesse4550]

168k subs. 169420 is just around the corner!

[@nightspinner_6419]

MR CGB, do you think you'll ever do Chatterfang, Squirrel General? 😗

[@orrkeret]

This hurt to watch 🥲

[@Fireblake00]

can anyone link the brawl hub yt channel?

[@DavidElMago81]

I have no idea what the hell is going on with this deck

[@cannardm]

Wouldn't the eather resovior be better than tapping the greathenge 50 times? Like the reamination deck, with sedisi brood tyrant was on arena.

[@olafthemoose9413]

Resovoir doesn't add mana and once you get your wincon it really does not matter in what way you win so you might aswell play the slightly more flexible card.

[@mathematiger1286]

There is a different version without paradox engine which uses Su-Chi Cave Guard instead of Nyxbloom and Reservoir instead of Paradox Engine

[@stilltraceable6753]

You really shouldn't have told us to start

[@reidyo5404]

Cool deck to play but playing against this ranks up there with playing against cat/cauldron and trying not to scream

[@syk2973]

Mi I love you are vidoes

[@Will-gm3bd]

Do kosilek!

[@Tinhow]

Im loving watchin CGB play brawl, but watching him overthink the combo forever and timing out was a huge bummer

[@MrFarche]

CGB! Rusko is out there and he's dominating the format!! He must be stopped! We need a hero to rise up and defeat this menace! Help CGB, you're our only hope... Loving the historic brawl content btw ;)

[@TheDorkgetreal]

That time out BS is a problem that needs to be fixed. It's an issue everyone is talking about and stupid that it hasn't been fixed. I might even stop playing until it is patched. It's stupid you need to backout to reset the timer.

[@Grand_Admiral]

I watched some of the tournament video so I already know I'm not smart enough to play this deck.

[@activityenjoyer]

lots of loling on this one lmao, ggs

[@hulio_who8605]

excited

[@lilyflowa666]

the time outs sucked :(

[@jamesbond3485]

rip Wotc stuff though love your content

[@vendettarules1]

Welcome to magic where you have an eternity of time to waste if yoyu;'r eonly playing a simple spell but the second you need actual time to do a combo they never give you enough time!

[@theoneandonlyflexo]

Its crazy to me how much arena cgb must play yet not understand the timeouts and their ui works when its the opponents rope

[@hellproof2379]

Crazy to me how someone can act like they would do so much better with this complicated ass combo while streaming and explaining.

[@theoneandonlyflexo]

@@hellproof2379 okay? You might want to reread my comment. You were reading into it more than is there. Cgb has consistently complained about timeouts being used because he thinks the route ends before it actually does. I think the route might also disappear if you f6.

[@JamesAltoonaPA]

could you also add aetherhub links as well plz n ty

[@kornflake3761]

I see paradox engine, I turn the video off. Even though Golgari is my jam, I absolutely hate that card and it's the main reason I don't watch the HB content.

[@williamwalton9154]

It's banned in commander for a reason and I've never heard that community call for ot to be brought back. Why keep it in Brawl?

[@mathematiger1286]

You maybe didn't realize, but Paradox Engine is not a essential card to the deck. You can easily built a differnet version wich wins for example with Aeterflux Reservoir, Tendrils of Agony or multiple drain effects. It just happens that Engine is the easiest to execute and a little bit more consistent in worst case scenarios.
