Today's Standard video - only for the strong :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqu1inePrp2VrMUsi=FS_muavmicNa2Q6l

[@Joseph125]

Some people don't like this commander because it's an alchemy card. You could say it's... polarizing.

[@Asian_Caleb]

👏👏👏

[@Seaborg009]

“Real” cards dissolve in water, so are Alchemy cards nonpolar?

[@akumamatataaa]

Boo 😢

[@Joseph125]

@@ashtheswan705 Well Oyaminartok lives in the arctic, so at least he's *cool*

[@Wurmfist]

something something alchemy is stupid something something

[@Smith.S.E.]

Ive gotta say, watching you has made me a better player. Especially in Brawl. I find myself thinking "make them have it" and "play the commander so if they counter it I dont use something from my hand" every so often , thank you big fella

[@mallaznajmi3889]

"Fall things...leaves? I don't know" - CGB on revelations for fall activities. I live for these quotes

[@solarupdraft]

You get plenty of CGB's chaotic energy in his videos, but it's even more apparent in person. What a character!

[@oscarhardingisatwat]

I was so confused in the Lavinia game cos CGB kept saying hes playing around her, but she only counters noncreature spells? Did I miss something?

[@davidwitt5585]

Nope. Reading the cards explain the cards. "you should know when and how your commander is effective". 😅😅

[@VOIDWALKER_333]

The scoop after turn 1 Ragavan had me laughing so hard

[@natewaters344]

You should pronounce it: " Oh yea I'm an arctic-Polar werebear"

[@loam4187]

CGB with black market connections out: Yes, I will take a ton of damage to draw 1 card, get 1 treasure, and get 1 creature I don't really need CGB with an enemy sheoldred on the field: Drawing a single extra card here will lose me the game

[@joshuahafer]

3 CGB videos?!? Must be my birthday! :D

[@DamnStraightGaming]

I would love to see more Historic Brawl! It's a format that I've recently gotten into and I'm having an absolute blast! As always, you are cool CGB!

[@cesaremeliota2891]

Was the first oppo, gg CGB always nice to match with you on brawl queue

[@starmanda88]

Great game dude!

[@EllipticalReasoning]

I don't know why but "this hand is awful (mulligan). This hand is great (keep). Magic is easy." was absolutely hillarius to me.

[@pompelmo904]

Thanks for inspiring me to try out HB. Such a nice change pace, games have so much variety and feel absolutely insane in the best way.

[@CRAETION_]

Always a fan of the commander content! I joined MTG Arena right after Brother's War, so it's cool seeing a bunch of historic cards in action

[@dcrow9650]

That's a LOT of green for a deck that gives you mana for Blue Creatures Only. I play this deck a lot in HB and people don't see how much of a power beast this is. I tend to run it with a lot of Mutate Cards, so I can easily trigger them 2 o 3 times in a turn, sometimes in my opponents turn.

[@thejray422]

Historic Brawl, fun format! Thanks CGB for doing what you do.

[@jave2274]

I play Locust God myself, its my favorite deck, including thousand year storm, shark typhoon and niv mizzet, plus some good draw cards

[@vermora356]

I appreciate CGB's raw glee about casting uncounterable spells into obvious counterspells.

[@mariand.1087]

I played this card a while ago and even if I didn't have many ways to make food, I just gave the bear flying to get my food tokens.

[@DaxRaider]

we need MORE historic brawl!! u have the best decks i love ur decks ur videos about it are honestly the reason i not stopped playing arena yet

[@ottoloogmanc_h_i_m_e_r_a7456]

Bears are back?

[@TheFenixDown206]

Dont you just love turn 1 monkey 😂

[@leotrollstoy2351]

bro you need to read lavinia

[@patrikmelkersson7825]

Hey, CGB! I love your decks! I would love if your moxfield were organized after which format the decks are built in, it would make it easier to find decks to be inspired from

[@baldyikesboi5387]

lets gooooo historic brawlll

[@TheFrigidMidget]

So CGB, you want to explore Prime Time? Have a play around with Omnath, Locus of Rage. I know, I know, big ol' 7 drop Gruul commander, but boy does it love Prime Time. Get 2 of the New Capenna fetch lands that auto sac without needing to be tapped? You just dumped 26/26 power onto the board. If you happen to have a sac outlet in play, that can often just end people.

[@magnusberge]

Junkwinder triggers from ALL tokens, not just creature tokens, so Food tokens would work aswell

[@suNn.K.O]

People who poo-poo Live (see: digital-only) cards just because they're Live cards are no fun. Can do a bunch of cool stuff with 'em. Except Rusko. The hate for that guy is justified. lmao.

[@moc_ardour1772]

My problem with alchemy is that I'm a dinosaur. I only play paper magic, and alchemy cards aren't real cards. I take issue with digital only content, because they're "cards" that I can't put into my decks to play with friends; so as a result I'm far less interested in them. That being said I don't mind watching games played with them on occasion.

[@Stelios-]

I love historic brawl, in fact is the only thing I play when I open mtga. Do you guys think they will ever add a competitive hb? Or maybe just some rewards like in other game modes?

[@thetimeformiller]

I see HB I click HB

[@TC-cq7oc]

49:47 - Feather is my favorite commander, and that slow, draw-a-bunch-of-cards Feather is my favorite way to build her.

[@Jerrysaurus]

I am complaining that you worry too much about complaints. You are THE ONE, worry not about the plebs.

[@davidpurcell9497]

Blue mages, am I right? Ooooh, I could, counter it. Do I want to counter it? I don’t think I’ll counter it. 😂

[@homebrewed]

Can we see a updated Uro deck sometime in the future...would love to see some updates I think Simic has gotten a nice new handful of tools

[@starmanda88]

My favorite content is HB so thanks. PS I watch everything you do anyway but really love HB.

[@ninjadoctor13]

People complain about historic brawl? it's all I play, much more fun to collect and less stressful

[@ElCapitan28]

Hearing him call it "Iren-craig" is really starting to get to me. Why does he do this?

[@theninedivides6851]

26:39 very profound stuff haha what was that voice by the way 😂

[@zacstrick6133]

"Oh yeah I'm an Arctic".., Polar Werebear 😇

[@tehhayn2732]

Yes! You updated it! I loved this deck the last time you made it!

[@millerliteman-2617]

For those wondering. Its Oya-minar-tok

[@FlawlessRythym]

I just call him Oh Yeah, or Kool Aid Man. Lol.

[@raidenharrison138]

Bear

[@zachjohnson3871]

Dooood I feel you so hard on the standard thing.... them making it a 3 year rotation is just absolutely brutal... let alone them not absolutely banning all the top played cards... like cool.... great... you banned two things... and the decks that abused them are still wreaking havoc in one way or another.

[@FanPhys]

And this is why Primeval Titan is banned in commander...

[@thezerowulf2046]

Cards being banned in commander but not historic brawl is crazy.

[@BonzoDeAap]

Historic brawl is my favorite, it has the most varied decks and the craziest combo's!

[@SonicMirage]

2 brawl vids per week is NOT enough

[@farmlyfe857]

its not that historic is bad, its just like anything else, leave it to Wizards to muck it up. Historic would be better if cards currently in rotation were not in historic. once they rotate out they are added to historic would make the format so much more interesting to me then as curently it is.

[@d2ned912]

Oh Yeah Man Artic - WOTC, pls.

[@dg96-93]

I would love to see a historic brawl zombie-tribal deck work out. Something like a Muldrotha, or the zombie liliana 4 drop from m19

[@jgray2718]

3:40 CGB, you gotta get down with the hate comments. Comments are comments; if someone hates your video, tell them to tell you all about how standard is so much better than commander in the comment section. Feed that algorithm!

[@mijkelly]

This deck looked like so much fun to play. I love this format so much and look forward to these days! You definitely got me into this, thank you🎉

[@Thonieler]

Perfect timing i was just looking at building a deck around that cars! Lets see what you did with it. Great content as usual - thanks for the daily entertainment! ❤

[@saharyona]

Im kinda new around...can someone gently explain what does "ramp" means?

[@matthewbutner8696]

Ramp means to accelerate how much mana is available to you. Normally you only get to play one land card each turn, however there are certain creature/artifact/enchantment cards that like lands can be tapped for mana but you are going to have to pay mana to play those cards. There are also other cards which can add land cards from your deck or hand. So when you ramp you are paying mana now to have more max mana available in the future faster. This will allow you to play more expensive cards earlier in the game than you would normally be able to.

[@ryanconnelly7782]

some examples! creature ramp: llanowar elves or armored scrapgorger, they tap for mana ramp spells: cultivate or rampant growth, put more lands onto the battlefield mana artifacts (also called mana rocks!): arcane signet or something like izzet signet, these are great for colors outside of green It's generally smart to put a handful of these effects in every deck, they're almost always a good turn 2-3 play to set you up for future turns :)

[@NamathCB]

Love these colors together. My favorite deck I ever had was this but lighter on green and heavier on artifacts.

[@Thickolas]

This bear was my first HB deck! Very happy to see an update, may have to dust him off

[@canadasyrup2125]

Can you do an updated Tatyova deck?

[@pokeyclawz8727]

I built this deck a week ago and was like “man i really want cgb to build this deck”

[@chezkyguttman4002]

lavinia is non creature spells

[@joanmarti8160]

Oryaminartok + Mutate is one of my go-to decks for daylies ❤

[@rs8749]

Love historic brawl! Hope there will be more commander formats

[@bradross7488]

Oh yeah, I’m arctic.

[@ebonpraetor4370]

Oh dear, I hope this video doesn't break the pairing for my FOOD FIGHT version of the Giant Bear - which is fun but not nearly as strong.

[@3N3MYKN1GHT]

Nag it's no kinnan, but ramp on 5 is still ramp

[@sonictt1]

Bears Bears Bears Bears Bears Bears Bears Bears Bears Bears

[@sonictt1]

I had a WIP of this guy already going. Perfect timing 👍

[@Kazz1187]

This looks so much fun

[@bornofthenight3871]

CGB's historic Brawl holiday 2?? I'd love to see that

[@austinjackson3986]

39:35 Charmin soft

[@jackattackhissnack]

Just got back from an orchard/corn maze/cider mill in West Michigan. It's a great time of year to be a Michigander.

[@lambdalandis]

I learned recently that people outside of Michigan don’t know what a “cider mill” is

[@onjahhh]

19:19 Why did you block the pirate? Don't you want them to keep it so they are forced to attack every turn and make bad swings. It also can't block.

[@thatvillainjay]

Ew...simic

[@thezerowulf2046]

Agreed, but this is degenarcy lite simic it seems

[@mcbescheiden725]

Unbearlivable

[@t-dogn6171]

Thanks CGB

[@MalaysianGov]

I love CGB

[@bigphil6980]

will we be seeing any more best of 3 in the future

[@destrofraud698]

Monkaaaay

[@ZachFowler]

Would you consider building some jank standard where it's all about doing one thing and you lose 7/10 but when it works...oh man it works. Would love to see it.

[@Kestral287]

Unfortunately that kind of stuff rarely makes for good content

[@artix003]

he's usually a try hard to win. HB is the most jank he's gonna get. You want fun jank go to the dark lord. mono black magic. historic tho not standard

[@Nick1554]

I love historic brawl videos

[@KChaos005]

this looks epic!

[@boobox2000]

20:17 You should have cast the Commander and then blew up the land. You gave them the mana for the counterspell.

[@richard_zanormous3648]

First
