First game; Sauron thoughtseizing Saruman is about as lore accurate as you can get.

[@Eli_Nelson_Music]

So many general flavor wins in this set

[@jdr4674]

@@Eli_Nelson_Music Yep but the ring is a total fail.

[@dovnotarius2825]

​@@jdr4674why? I think it's kinda flavorful...

[@hebercluff1665]

​@@dovnotarius2825if they wanted to be more lore accurate with the ring, it would be a net negative on the player - not a positive. The ring tempting you is supposed to be a bad thing.

[@CanadianBaconPwnage]

​@@hebercluff1665The ring tempting a powerful, capable user is often a net positive for the wielder, but a horrible net negative for everybody else. And as players are supposed to be Planeswalkers, they would be more than capable of wielding the Ring, and making life miserable for everyone around them. Flavorfully fits for me.

[@carlwhipple3576]

Love how the 6 mana sauron is just leagues better than the 8 mana sauron they printed specifically as a commander

[@patrickwoodlands4086]

8 mana Sauron clearly designed for precon to be more casual. 6 mana Sauron a little less casual

[@Icameron259]

The 6 mana Sauron was also printed to be a commander, unless you think people would really jam it in Modern? Let's be real though, if you have one as your commander the other will be in the 99 because why not?

[@MrYzan]

@@Icameron259 Could work in a re-animator deck

[@kyle1078]

They missed out not giving it an Eminence effect. Him staying in the background and accruing value seems very on flavor for him.

[@vladsergref]

@@kyle1078 ...but people also hate eminence, so they probably erred on the side of caution. I do agree though, as far as commanders with eminence go, there are few better candidates

[@schuka1]

Nothing more satisfying than waiting out a control player and then beating them at their own game.

[@Insaiyangod21]

15:59 What kind of serpent is it 💀🥶

[@Silent_Pyro]

I heard it too 💀

[@mobius3339]

😂😂

[@Hdsvhgffcbuured]

Glad I wasn't the only one hearing this 😂😂😂

[@demexmz4510]

That last game was more painful for Aragorn than when he broke his toe kicking the helmet

[@goldenpony822]

Reminds me of anime season enders where half the cast dies and the other half is traumatized forevet

[@AgentN101]

16:00 covertgoblue says the N-word and his opponent explodes

[@gerudo4sale861]

Finally an historic brawl vid

[@tabd3277]

Man at around 8:30 when you played the One Ring... that was good stuff right there!

[@patrioticpyr0374]

28:21 tires to argue why the guy shouldn’t have left 😂😂😂 man can I relate to that

[@justinshaddix2775]

Awesome deck! I've been thinking about this creature for EDH. I'm a Vorthos player and LOVED the match up against Banana224 playing Saruman of Many Colors. Your voiceovers about the Ring were hilarious and made for a great game.

[@brianarsuaga5008]

The absolute horror of the hand you saw with that first thoughtseize, I'd have scooped on the spot

[@Kino280]

43:04 RIP content hand 😂

[@Sogssmusic]

Soar-on is a great commander. Love to see it

[@poedoepilgrim4855]

Hey! You mispronounced Sour-on!

[@Kalcifer052]

that first game was hilarious, i love seeing opponents that spam interaction like that get dumped on. when toilet gaming gets flushed forreal

[@adricktench4042]

"soar"-on the only CGB mispronunciation that has ever actually tilted me

[@AzafTazarden]

You know a cool card that can bounce the Ring around and reset it's counters? You know who I'm talking about. It's time for the sky snek to shine again, it's been 5 months already

[@markjohnson406]

I think you misread the card: CGB, The Dark Lord. We hail you, sire. Master of control, drawer of cards, the one who rejoices at the enemy's pain. Seeker of value, twister of the metaphorical knife, foes everywhere shall lament their match-up. We salute you!

[@silase.quester3519]

I made an Aragorn the Uniter deck recently. Basically filled it with cheap red cards and ways to potentially protect him. Man does it pack a punch. Sauron is my next build though. Then Bombadil.

[@homm3bonedragon242]

Conspiracy theory: CGB is making so many One Ring videos because he pulled the 1-of-1 and wants to make sure the price stays high by proving it's a good card.

[@demonicell]

I want to go for an Amass version. I'll probably try this out too. Perfect commander to make a video for, thanks.

[@pr0fess0rbadass]

I was wondering why the HB queue was full of Sauron decks lately. This is why

[@goldenpony822]

Daamn that ending was really sad and brutal 😆😆

[@milktoast1847]

No vesuvian mist with the ring is a crime. The bounce plus copy is a rage quit engine

[@pietapizza1]

15:59 woah dude relax

[@andfriends11]

"The power of the one ring is too great, you saw what happened to Procrastiasian." "Yes I did, you tore his leg off."

[@PatrickKassowRossing]

I watched to the end. Love the Historic Brawl content. I miss the post game wrap.

[@patrickwoodlands4086]

CGB I hope you're planning on building a sweet U/W Faramir HB deck. He's so much value in a card, good against control and aggro. Been having a lot of success with him so far!

[@alaingamache3908]

Where can one find such a deck ?

[@patrickwoodlands4086]

@@alaingamache3908 how do you mean? He was added to arena with the Tales of Middle Earth set.

[@jonathansheehan5983]

CGB you should make a brawl deck with that heliod and yorion

[@bradleyhumphreys2874]

SOW-ron just saying

[@BadConAngel]

I wasn’t going to get any cards from this set but…I need all of those.

[@nooby900]

you can also use the blue dominus to take counters off ring and help protect your life a little

[@NorionRey]

Perfect timing! Just started cooking

[@gooomy7354]

Cgb already cook!

[@Modest7787]

No displacer kitten in the flicker deck?

[@TheHighwayVideo]

I’ve been tearing this deck up with my Go-Shinti shrine deck…

[@jasontaylor5998]

Might I suggest that in place of into the roil you try Vesuvan Mist. You still get bounce a thing, draw a card for 4, but when you bounce your ring, the card that you draw is... Another Ring!

[@definitelyjin-gitaxias4071]

yes like this

[@RUSIXXX7]

TRY EVIL 😈 IS COMING IN THIS VIDEO

[@DerpwaldDuck]

7:10 "There is only one Lord of the Ring, only one who can bend it to his will, and he does not share power." *slaps the ring out of Sarumans hand*

[@ShadowedOne413]

Oh I love this very much

[@gorosrio101]

Awesome games

[@thegingergaming8984]

Invoke the winds = scoop I haven't seen the video yet but everytime I cast it and steal him....I don't know how but I get that card in my first hand every time against sauran

[@t-dogn6171]

Thanks CGB

[@mmutexx9833]

Uploaded 47s ago club 🎉

[@blues6304]

Sauron gives near infinite sac tokens

[@alicesaxon601]

Your pronunciation of Sauron is painful lol Sow-ron dude did you not watch the films?

[@TheRealSAFN]

Probably not than. Not everyone watched them...

[@alicesaxon601]

@@TheRealSAFN well thats madness haha, they are amazing.

[@bernardvezina-gagnon24]

I would to see you make a Shelob spider tribal deck !

[@stefanoriva9767]

Amy the Amazonian just did one! Search for her channel on KZbin

[@bernardvezina-gagnon24]

@@stefanoriva9767 thanks ill look it up

[@bassburglar4053]

Love it

[@Ketoinvestor]

Finally getting a chance to watch this and I’ve realized something very important: CGB should own The 001/001 One Ring. No debate!

[@louelastic954]

I like the amass version

[@Mattiyace]

What's the power nine and when is he gonna draw it 😂

[@nicpaolini]

I keep seeing the "Apply Styles" button on these videos and it makes me wonder: Which Historic Brawl card do you have cosmetics for that you aren't using??

[@stefanoriva9767]

I think he said before that in the presentations of decks he don't apply cosmetics, because they don't look good when recorded.

[@MetaPixel7]

You know what's really cool? Chapters in KZbin videos 👍🏼

[@mght2002]

Poggers

[@jonabank]

08:07 What was that you said?

[@pst5345]

what can one do against such evil? So much hate?

[@drjasonhill]

i just wanted a deck link,

[@AkodoNoEyes]

I genuinely hate how no one ever gets more than one attack in with the Goblin token from Fable of the Mirror Breaker. Everyone always auto targets the damn thing.

[@guybrush277]

What's the point of playing a flavourful general like Sauron in a generic and bland Grixis control shell like this? You could literally play every other Grixis legendary creature in the game as your general in this deck and you would not notice the difference 🤦‍♂️

[@bacKboii]

i watched your vids for the last 2 years every day...but now i need to see i cancel my sub cause that hb content is boring as hell.....wish you the best though

[@NorionRey]

I mean can you blame him? The cancel on the rotation was really disapointing to him... And the bans didnt hit the bo1 decks he hates the most... Soldier and mono red

[@Alexxf35]

Like most of CGBs decks this is trash
