Mythic for sure, and about 25-30 mins per game, that's for sure as well

[@matthewarnold4557]

The mythic rank is the friends we make along the way LOL

[@Marthisdil]

yup...can play 5-8 games of RDW in the same amt of time and do it faster lol

[@oia]

Somehow it’s not a Jeskai pile… where’s your patriotic pride CGB? 😂 have fun in Europe!

[@nicolasraffaele2489]

😂

[@Garfangel1]

The content you produce is truly fantastic! How you’re able to remain calm when everyone else would’ve gotten so salty is what makes me come back here every day at 19h00 (Amsterdam) to watch Magic while I do our dishes. You’re the cool one! Thanks CGB, enjoy Amsterdam/Europe, it’s really great here!

[@ashtheswan705]

if you think cgb doesnt get salty, you havent been a longtime watcher 😂

[@leadpaintchips9461]

@@ashtheswan705 Ya, his salt is about the play patterns and decks that beat control instead of like everyone else who gets salty at control.

[@simcosports2584]

I took some time away from arena, this year, and started playing again, blue white control of course, and I’ve had so much fun. I never stopped watching the daily cgb videos of course, thanks again and enjoy your vacation. Say hi to John Finkel for me if you see him.

[@goreobsessed2308]

Welcome back let's farm the aggro players like the reaper himself

[@simcosports2584]

@@goreobsessed2308 Ahhh, my favorite past time, making my brother and father regret giving me the blue and white cards when we first started playing in 95.

[@NickTemperistic]

As someone who hates blue/white control how do you have fun playing it? I always ask my opponents how they can have fun playing something so slow but obviously they can't hear me so I won't get an answer. Decks I enjoy? Pretty much any kind of Domain, mono black, wolves, angels, mono green, soldiers, dinos, dragons

[@goreobsessed2308]

@NickTemperistic can't speak for everyone but I love long games and being able to beat my opponent without relying on lucky combos or synergies

[@NickTemperistic]

@@goreobsessed2308 I mean 3 no more lies in a row seems like a pretty lucky combo to me

[@MrEforEveryone]

Thanks for all the hard work on these videos. I look forward to watching every day

[@DukaM757]

:0 no jeskai with president Thomas Whitmore speech (from the movie!) during intro? What kind of 4th of July is it :/

[@MrBe56]

Thank you CGB for taki g the time to put an intro and outro on each and every video. It is very comforting to have these videos as part of my daily routine.

[@MysticWhiteReaper]

24:58 Dags? Oh dogs. Yeah I like dags. -Tommy (Stephen Graham) from Snatch I couldn't help thinking of this quote here. 😅

[@michaelchambers9148]

I've been playing CGB's UW mill for a while. This one is a great alternate. Little more on the offensive side with the tokens as apposed to holding them off with wipes

[@jacquesbautista-plante5497]

this seems like a good pile for something like micromancer. That card cooks, and lets these decks be pretty crazy toolbox decks

[@seandavis9657]

No 4th of July deck what a sad day

[@lisalatif3841]

You only needed to play one red card to keep you jeski streak alive

[@MrBe56]

Wow Final Showdown is so good. Instant speed protect a creature and wipe the board is something I never thought I would see on a single card.

[@goomshill]

UW control, or UWG control playing cornucopia and maybe 1x dryad's revival, I dunno, I think I like splashing for that liferock

[@anubislee36]

You are /such/ a good UW player. I feel like I never see the plays you see

[@aderoninone3244]

This loses a lot after rotation so I'm curious what that will look like for UW.

[@yomiscythetalon7793]

took a break from mtg and i come back to see wandering emperor still in standard SHEEEESH

[@nez14526]

just a few more weeks... she will be missed :')

[@FlyingSpaceOstrich]

You should’ve at least splashed red for lightning helix… it’s America Day!

[@VocalSynthUtau]

Love the short intro

[@simcosports2584]

Nice

[@T-Stokes]

UW Control loses Memory Deluge and Wandering Emperor to rotation. Big losses, but Farsight Ritual is a decent replacement for Memory Deluge. Can use map or Mirrex tokens to bargain it. Replacing Emperor on the other hand is tough.

[@Arkhangelsk-up9sp]

Ah yes, as an old timer esper control player, nothings sweeter than our win condition being the opponents surrender button. Aggro decks are so free.

[@BhbtheRock]

I think the only cards I'm playing that you aren't are red lands and Lightning Helix, haha

[@BhbtheRock]

Oh, I'm giving this one a try. Full sets of all the utility lands is so hot

[@danielwilliams7592]

"Their draw was scripted perfect." It's almost like its not really random, but algorithm controlled. Oh wait! It is.

[@nez14526]

Oh wait! It's not. But if you think it is, I'm curious what you think the shuffling algorithm actually does...? They determine on the fly which cards they think are good for the matchup and always give them to the opponent? (What about when you're the opponent?)

[@DRPL766]

And a lot of these cards are being rotated out of standard soon, just FYI if you don't have these cards. Might not be a good investment

[@rdesmarais2]

March, emperor, memories the 2 channel lands and a set of the dual lands maybe, hard to see on tablet. Oh and the fields. Most have decent replacements.

[@NHTYSYX]

Why not use farewell? Is it standard legal? It's essentially better or no?

[@playlistb3795]

at 6 mana, instant speed is better usually, and at 5 mana Sunfall is usually better. Very few times the other options are worth it for Sorcery speed or 1 turn later

[@NHTYSYX]

@@playlistb3795 makes sense thanks. Many times I'm sitting with 5 mana and can't do nothing. I might switch to sunfall when I get home later.

[@austinjackson3986]

The "I was bullied too much in highschool now I look for control" deck.

[@kunalgupta9043]

Instant speed wrath

[@kunalgupta9043]

💔

[@carlpalacios]

I don't like/play control, and even I felt that game against Golgari

[@Yngwarlothep]

I'm looking forward to your take on this deck after the rotation!

[@leok723]

😅 to me, this blue white control is exactly as cheesy as mono red. Just a pain in the ass

[@dave3823]

Nah, actually requires a brain.

[@esapetal-2511]

@@dave3823 Thats a meme. 'Muh control decks requires thinking' Yeah right delete everything thats threatening very thoughtful indeed.

[@KroyX]

@@dave3823 Actually it hardly requires more brain than aggro. People just like to delude themselves that they have the intellectual high ground.

[@DanielWisehart]

I guess I am infected with blue-white fever. I so enjoy playing your control decks. I do not play them with your insight into what my opponent has and what he is going to do, but I do enjoy playing them. Thanks CGB!

[@adamgreen6051]

!

[@TheViolinAndMore]

theres even one worse thing as mono red, 2 blue/white controls againdt each other lel

[@leok723]

So true.. it's lifetime you'll never get back..

[@heraldofv3379]

No dude it's amazing magic come on

[@user-nv7co1wr9l]

21:11 🤨🤮

[@argentfang]

That last game was wonderful. Azorius Control players are those people that think they’re way smarter than they actually are.

[@Xgya2000]

"Our wincon is here" You mean you had no patience before drawing Mirrex?

[@laurelkeeper]

He called me a mesa falcon

[@blazehero4]

more control lol

[@godlynewbie]

got to love dummies not running at least 1 basic land for each color. had a guy run zero basic lands in his deck and he scooped after a bit cause i kept drawing my field of ruins shorting his mana repeatedly. it was a late game deck he was running so yea. after playing 15 matches this deck is hot trash no it's beyond hot trash 5 wins out of 15 matches

[@9_Lives]

Sometimes you gotta learn the hard way lol

[@atakmojno8743]

The blue and white deck is so Annoying. so... take it!!! Yeaaahh

[@obadijahparks]

XD how could we forsee you playing this?...

[@fredt1983]

Mono red always has the brain dead can't counter higher then 3 reputation, but azorius "imma counters evcerythingszs!!" isn't much more involved..

[@riin4channel]

zzzz

COME ON CGB, COUNTER SPELLS??? YOUR BETTER THAN THAT. YOU USE TO BE WAY UP HERE AT THE TOP...BUT NOW......👎 THE DAY THE LEGEND DIED😥
