The second game proves that fear is the mind killer.

Game 2 is why you always make them have it and don't concede until the last moment. People give up WAY to quickly.

[@TheIceMarker]

The Extus, Oriq Overlord player here! It was cool to play against you again CGB! I chuckled when you mentioned you thought I was playing off-curve to hold up a Lightning Bolt or Swords to Plowshares to respond to the mutate, I just had poor draws, such is Magic. I was hoping I'd make the cut for your video. Good game! 🥳

[@ella6547]

Why would you concede during lethal combat? Nothing worse than a player doing that rather than relaxing for the 1.5 seconds it takes to finish them off. You don't save time because of the effort to click concede taking up more energy than simply waiting for the incoming strike.

[@jackattackhissnack]

Both are negligible so it doesn't really change anything lol

They always concede before I can show them the three lands in my hand. Very frustrating.

[@jargon9173]

No way that guy really conceded to you having only 1 card in your library lol

[@zukrad634]

The ending of the second game was such a roller-coaster of emotions

[@patrickwoodlands4086]

I just played against this deck yesterday and the opponent got Omniscience with I believe less than 10 cards left in his library. Tried to rope me out hoping that I would scoop and then they proceeded to just cast Sea Gate Restoration and killed themselves lmao. Very important to not just auto scoop to this combo depending on where exactly they hit the Omniscience in the deck and what cards they have left in hand.

[@PigeyMang]

13:30 holy crap that was pure gold lmao

[@pretends2know]

The lesson to learn here is to count your opponent's deck before conceding.

[@dreamwalking]

I suspect it's much more a case of learning to read the card. The opponent likely assumed that that was a cascade-type effect, and didn't realize that the huge stream of cards they just witnessed going by was being exiled.

[@raymondscott8541]

Lol " don't bolt me bro" that would make a sweet t-shirt

[@mikeyj.philly]

Illuna is my favorite card ever printed. So glad to see it on this channel

[@jamesprior1399]

Awesome deck - watching someone Tasha ult me to have my whole library milled and then Gaia's blessing putting it all back was a 10/10 moment. I've put Cosmic Epiphany into my version which I think is legit!

[@waaager8959]

Really enjoying these historic brawl video, even more so than the standard ones, thanks for the great content !

Id like to see another vid of this same exact deck. Prolly my fav vid from u

[@dwarf_showtress]

Mutation Historic Brawl, it's a task for the one in the best of one, make one CGB!

[@Will-el1hy]

He surely could have used Mizzix's Mastery to cast the clear the mind from his graveyard, shuffle everything in and then just go nuts! So I don't think he would have lost game 2 if the opponent didn't scoop. Definitely a premature scoop though!

[@jacobbaird1180]

Clear the Mind was exiled, not in the graveyard

[@bigbadchadgamingcenter6396]

Hey CGB I was wondering if you have ever done a wandering emperor historic brawl deck filled with nothing but instant and flash speed cards

[@terraproxy4097]

Thank you very much for your marvelous gameplay, master CovertGoBlue.

[@archangeljmj6008]

Oh that Gidorah, I wish I had those Godzilla skins

[@canadasyrup2125]

CGB in the game against the Gaea you could have won a turn earlier by playing the plating before combat which would grow the token to a 7/7 then you mutate your commander going to 0 cards in your library but since it’s mutated it comes in able to attack and since the zombie is a 0/0 with seven counters the iluna is a 13/13 or 6/6 with seven counters and then you attack for lethal

[@michaelcaughron6172]

Vorinclex says round down, so the 1/1 from the plating would disappear and it would stay a 6/6

[@canadasyrup2125]

Oh yeah your right. My bad

[@stoiccrane4259]

Unless you're legitimately pressed for time, in which case you shouldn't even be on Arena, there's no reason to scoop. Just play it out and see what happens. Worse case scenario you'll lose which you would have regardless if you chose to scoop. Best case you'll squeeze out an unexpected win. It's about the journey not the destination.

[@jfar3508]

The only time I pulled this off Omniscience was on the bottom.

[@theholydragonflywings6815]

Eyy Made a commander deck doing this, real fun and budget friendly :)

[@LoganHallard]

I love Illuna, but I do wish it's ability worked more like Cascade. But yeah, this is certainly more exciting

[@henrygandelman]

Oh boy, here comes the combo ropes

[@BenichouHillel]

I have a similar list. Has ramp, card draw, and 7 mana damage spells. It seems janky but it's been working for years lol.

[@fabiocorrea950]

Would be nice to see you play with some low-power commanders like kwende

[@prinnyEXE]

lol impulse scoop XD

[@genkers]

Lol played this deck and got omniscience out but was gonna lose bc opponent had urza's sylex out and enough mana. I was like " welp omniscience about to be wiped out" but he ended up surrendering for some odd reason lol

[@2dsystem]

i never realized how much decision making goes into playing this deck, but i hate paradox engine

[@bassburglar4053]

This was a cool one 🤙

[@starmanda88]

Hahahaha 13:23 has me dead.

[@clagen86]

Omniscience should have had a significant cost reduction and read something like: Your opponents play with their hands revealed to you. You may look at the top card of any players library. Tap: scry 7. The current effect more accurately simulates omnipotence than anything.

[@mordamen]

I have to say, while I'm enjoying the content and the historic brawl videos, I'm somewhat disappointed that the intros aren't as detailed as the standard videos are. I'm well aware that trying to go through all 100 cards is going to be really time consuming, but I feel like a general gameplan and then perhaps sorting the cards into piles of card advantage, ramp, wincons/combos, interaction (removal/counter spells), etc... would help viewers get a little more in-depth idea of what the deck is trying to do beyond the very big picture intro that CGB is doing now

[@roniroukoz6040]

That scoop hahahahaha

[@TheLoneRider_]

Amazing game, 1 card left😄

[@bigsooie982]

Yes Temur!

[@ZeRedSpy]

Are the "if you mill out you win the game instead of lose" cards legal in Historical Brawl? They would fit in the deck, though you would risk hitting them with your Commander.

[@LordZurkov]

Only WAR Jace and Thoracle, but the issue is more that the deck basically has two modes: control and combo. While both are great if you've shifted to the combo portion of the game, they won't really save you from a scenario where you've exiled an absurd amount of your library because odds are they'll also have been exiled, and when you're in control mode they're exceedingly dead draws.

[@ZeRedSpy]

Makes sense, the whole point is to ensure you hit omniscience. Just feels bad when its on the bottom.

[@austinwendt7170]

Standard anytime soon?

[@alley5911]

God I hope not. Standard is the most boring format, and really the only boring format (alchemy is objectively worse than standard but at least even that has more variety in the meta than standard). In standard you just face the same 5 decks in every match, all the other formats at least allow people to be creative and you encounter unique decks in every match.

[@roshandala]

WHERE IS PARADOX ENGINE???

[@r3games1985]

Isn't it Omni Science? Or is it Omnishence

[@alley5911]

Omnishence is the correct way to pronounce it, tho the spelling suggests otherwise (like literally99% of English words lmao😂)

[@r3games1985]

@@alley5911 Thank you. I thought Omni Science sounds cooler lol

[@alley5911]

@@r3games1985 it does, and I think that there’s an actual science thing called Omni-science, but that’s different. The word on the card is omniscience (omnishence), meaning “all-knowing”, and usually used in reference to deities/gods/omnipotent beings

Decks like this are super lame. You essentially just win because people don't want to deal with your endless turn. It's like not wanting to sit through life gain triggers. Like playing tegrid and getting rage scoops left and right.

wtf did he just call the card? its OMNI-SCIENCE right? like the stuff scientists talk about? right? not omnischiänse.

Uh no my friend he’s pronouncing it correctly. Omniscience is like what a god has, they see everything know everything. That is omniscience. It is NOT Omni-science.
