[@CRIMS0N_KING]

Great I'll be playing against this all tomorrow...

[@chiknsmack]

Build a deck specifically to target it. Tormod's Crypt and Soul-Guide Lantern to exile Uro (also hates on cycling decks). Return to Nature, Wilt, and maybe Embereth Shieldbreaker to blow up Clovers. Then some big green/red things (ideally with relevant etb effects to get value around Brazen Borrower) to smash face. The downside of CGB videos is that you run into the same strong deck repeatedly for a couple of days. The upside of running into the same deck repeatedly for a couple of days is that you can build a deck purely to hate on it. Edit: someone else in the comments mentioned Heliod's Intervention and Shatter the Sky as hate cards for the deck if you want to play white.

[@angelpehuen]

This deck is so insane that I'm playing Historic with it, and I didn't lose any game so far...

Cool Kids Club here. When you cast 3 Fertile Footsteps with 3 Lucky Clovers in play in one turn. You can use the "Your Go" emote. That was special.

[@kintaro79]

Did you win?

[@KevinOnEarth_]

Lucky clover as a legendary artifact would have made adventure decks much more balanced, in my opinion.

[@keystonerecords4541]

Couldn't agree more. Even just having one out for a few turns is so hard for the opponent to come back from.

[@Chaoslorden]

And not trigger on casting, but after a spell have resolved to give a chance to counter a spell. Feels bad to counter something and two more effects come from it anyway haha.

[@siobovitch]

There is many good enchantement in the meta at the moment. Playing with removal for artifact/enchant main deck is not a bad idea.

[@keystonerecords4541]

@@siobovitch dude. First of all, it doesn't matter how many Banishing Light I play, it's always too late by that point. And I am just handicapping myself if I put something like Revoke Existence in my deck. Come on now. Why do people always feel the need to defend the most broken stuff...

[@siobovitch]

@@keystonerecords4541 If Lucky Clover will get nerfed something else will be the most broken stuff of all time in you heart. Uro, Ugin, etc, etc, etc. In any color i try to have at least 4 cards to deal with enchantement, until next set, and then things might change (i play in 2021 btw).

Near-perfect deck, my dude. Only tiny tiny amendment I made was changed the neutralize in the sideboard to a didn't say please. I can't really see myself cycling a counterspell I wanted in my hand, and I would rather have the slight mill effect with the mill wincon option.

[@arthurvandenbergh1881]

Hi CGB! I’ve played against you using this deck a couple of days back, and I took the liberty to snipe it off your streamdecker :). It’s done wonders for me! Slight suggestion: how about a teferi’s tutelage in the sideboard? Works well with the overflowing insight, and is a good way to get the mill plan going early. I personally never used the mystic repeal for example

[@asfasy]

mystic repeal is for teferi's tutelage decks, also works great against demonic embrace

[@FeanaroX7]

Learning new things everyday with you CGB, I didn't even notice you talked about the deck for about 10 minutes during the intro lol

[@kaydzera9035]

Hi Cgb I found your channel back in the days when you had like 20k subs and i am really enjoying your content. For the Last 6 months or so i was so frustrated by Arena that i quit Magic for the time period, but now im finding my passion for the game once again because of the Commander format with my Friends in real life and with my interest awakening once again, i just Came back here to revisit your Channel. You are doing Great Man! Congrats to 80 k, your videos still entertain because of your creativity and your chill personality, and im happy to say that i have just resubbed. Stay the way you are, greetings from Germany For me, you are one of the cool kids.

[@covertgoblue]

Thank you! Glad you're back in Magic. And YOU are cool too.

I subbed because of this video, it has been 4 days since seeing this and I have been able to climb from silver stuck into Plat just playing this deck. So thank you sir, it's been fun to win this many games.

[@covertgoblue]

Thanks for the sub! And congrats on Platinum, that's awesome!

[@anfurnestanton9116]

I just want to thank you. I've always loved magic and although I only play draft watching you every day has really improved my game and for the first time I got 2nd I'm draft at my local game store.

[@covertgoblue]

That's awesome! Congrats! Very happy for you and do want to hear when you get first.

[@atwiley0306]

CGB, I think you are slowly converting me to go blue. I’ve been a lifelong Mono Red fan, with an occasional mono black or white thrown in. I’ve been watching your videos for several months now and am trying to include blue in my arsenal, but I’m not very good. When I see an open mana, I want to spend it ASAP. But that’s not what control decks are about. I played this deck...I’m not very good with it, but I can still win the historic FNM event. Once the deck gets going, there’s actually so many options to choose from to bring down 5/5s or 6/6s or an occasional 9/9 Beanstalk...this is a very fun deck. Thanks for posting your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@xxdemestrosxx]

I really like that build! i was just thinking about a simic uro adventure deck but i didn't think about the merfolk! amazing!

[@covertgoblue]

Glad you like it!

[@Orville117]

A small tipp: at 14:00: target the giant with a copie from the clover, so u wont receive the 2 dmg. (not it matters in that situation).

[@jfb-]

Doesn't work since bonecrusher says whenever it becomes the target, which includes copies.

[@jobu03]

Heard you talking about this on Arena Craft podcast. Took your advice and milled out a Temur Adventure deck with secretkeeper. It was epic.

[@ChatGBTChats]

Same!

[@covertgoblue]

Nice work!

[@obtuu9911]

This is actually pretty nuts and rotation proof. Thx for the podcast. Ignoring the Temur mirror, which is nice for this simic, the clear mana base makes it really effective. Zendikar could see this brew, specially if the wish board is nourished. Good job for a bo1 analysis.

[@NamathCB]

Been awhile, been playing outside but man it's FUN watching what you can do with this game!

[@savagesnadgaming7252]

Love this deck...so fun and versatile. Feels like totally different play lines than Temur Adventures. I did try a 2 of Thassas Oracle as well and use Once and Future if it was milled. But your version worked much better. I just wanted the option to mill myself if thats the direction the game was going. Thanks for the instructive intro as well! Side note: Seriously people stop making Arena toxic!!! If you're losing, don't rope...just concede. So much other toxic behavior in Arena, but that was the biggest one I've seen lately. Four Sultai ramp players in a row roped me on game 3 after losing to my jank Temur Rec without the Rec deck. I laugh and watch Netflix waiting on the rope, but its still so toxic. Just be a decent person and concede. Arena should be fun. If you feel the need to be toxic just for losing, then may want to try a non competitive game. Although, sometimes your toxic ropes are nice because I get a bathroom break. Sorry to CGB for using your comment section to soap box. If its any consolation, probably no one will read it. And I'm a proud member of the CKC. I actually watch some videos all the way through twice.

[@covertgoblue]

CKC members are cool.

[@peileii]

I love the fact that I can finally make one of your decks with cards I already have, instead of them sitting unfinished at the bottom of my deck list! I was missing 1 temple, but nbd.

[@heycidskyja4668]

Absolutely. But not his fault. These cheesy cards should simply not have been printed in the first place.

[@parkerkent1795]

Stephen Vittles I agree on Uro, but Ugin is 8 mana. If I resolve an 8 mana planeswalker, it should be extremely powerful.

[@heycidskyja4668]

Parker Kent Agreed, but it’s the enabling cards are the problem. Far too easy to reach 8 mana, especially with aggressively under costed cards like Uro.

[@bongatumtum]

Thank you for this, CGB. I will try my best to tell friends to sub. I'm gonna try this deck as we go into the rotation. I may be a noob, but even if I don't don't hit mythic, I'm sure I'll learn something. Thanks again for your content and everything you do! Stay well!

[@SuperstarBR]

After now piloting this deck in over 40 ranked matches, both standard and historic, mostly standard, I now see when to switch to mill and changed sideboard for twferi's tutelage x2 and have alot of success in those tough games where it's needed

[@koilosbatmusic]

Thanks for the vid, the 2021 ladder was already full of clover now even more ;) That made me go to mythic with my Doom Mance Ruinous Ult deck :D

[@RowinMarkov]

Fetching 12 lands in 1 turn... shuffler working as intended boiz

[@The_Evil_Zed]

I don't have the wildcards for it yet but I'm interested in trying an Adventures variation that is Giant-based, AKA featuring Realm-Cloaked Giant, Bonecrusher, Beanstalk, Grasping Giant, Giant Opportunity, etc. It might be worse than Uro and Borrower and such but it seems fun. If you would try it out that would be sweet!

[@CharlesGouraudgaming]

I added a copy of thassa's oracle to the main deck, fetching it from the yard with once and future when I end up milled. I even used once and future on upkeep, purposely not paying adamant, in order to win against a mill deck.

[@josephcarloramos]

That Beanstalk Giant with all the Clovers on the board was crazy. But when you drew another Beanstalk with Uro, I was just laughing hard. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

At 49:00 or so, play secret keeper then bounce all 3, venture deeper 3 times for 36 cards milled? Missed lethal?

Thought of something similar. Missed lethal with the Borrower. Bounce a Keeper, with 2 clovers, and 7 left cards on opponent graveyard.

This deck does so much it felt like I was actually in control of the MILLennium Falcon for the first time trying to pilot it all of these different options. I actually felt like I needed Chewie for some of the choices hahaha. Idk what’s with my Star Wars cheesy referance jokes, maybe the MILL and being the best deck had something to do with it.

[@covertgoblue]

Thank you for noticing.

[@KallousKiwi]

Good deck, lots of clover variations that can be explored that match up well and beat it. Reality is though, if you are playing a clover mirror, often its the person who draws it and plays it that wins. I've run Sultai clover and splash white for Mythos of Nethroi (with 4 fabled passages and giants it's cake to get the 1 white mana) You can also run a combo of Zagoth Triome and Indatha Triome (probably no more than 4). Mythos hitting everything in 21 standard is premium removal for other clover. Also makes removing Uro easier (rather than bouncing with only simic). Also wish sideboard can be much stronger with black included.

[@jrclash2937]

I have not had 1 game where I've drawn good with this deck. Went back to adding bonecrusher
