When Doorkeeper Thrull hits the board, every match feels like a long December, and there's reason to believe that maybe the next match will be better than the last. This deck slaps and looks like a hell of a lot of fun to play. Consider me sold.

[@tianhaowang8519]

⁠@@NickTemperistic targeting the swift spear first, so that he bait out the protection spell. wouldn’t make a difference if opponent holds it though. pretty much he knew he fucked up.

[@ericaschner3283]

I was noticing that the other day. According to Untapped, Halo Hopper has the highest included win % of any card with 500+ matches, even holding 60%+ in Diamond/Mythic.

[@thatguywiththeface5232]

Is it because it's a free extra body in go wide decks?

[@ericaschner3283]

@@thatguywiththeface5232 I guess? But it still takes up a slot and it's only a 3/2 with no ETB. Like if Eos didn't have the dig ETB it would barely be played, let alone have an entire deck built around it. My only guess is it's a small sample size and only being used in a few decks that are already near 60% anyway, but I have no idea. 🤷 Maybe we're all missing something and it's amazing. 😅

[@risendragongames]

Nice! Working in a Counting Crows reference is double chefs kiss

[@AirsoftAddicted]

1st game was amazing! Such beautiful and unique ninja deck. I respect that!

[@tamska]

Exactly what I was thinking, like someone was actually cooking!

[@crstube]

Respect for leaving the game against the Picknick Ruiner deck in. Happens to all of us.

[@50yrOldTennisImprover]

Ah, another CGB deck and my Wildcards will soon be obliterated like I damaged that Phyrexian four drop.

[@luken4133]

Counting Crows is my favorite band! Big Yellow Taxi, Mr. Jones, Kid Things. They never miss.

[@HauxYZ250]

I can put everything on repeat up until Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings. For some reason they lost something for me after Hard Candy

[@TheCrmerry]

Glad to see Kutzil's Flanker getting some interest. Seemed good against everything in the current meta, but not so good in the current decks that could play it.

[@danieledman5826]

So... you're saving Covert isn't your first name? My world is shattered!

Round here we ain't counting no crows.

[@TuberTugger]

4:35 - Zero fear that they just have a second one and ninjitsu again. Could have been really bad.

[@user-fx1rs8lm5m]

Every time I try a new deck I just get whatever decks that exist that destroy that deck in the queue. Thus, it's really no fun to run new decks. And before you say I'm crazy, I just tried this deck and lo and behold I see a deck that destroys it that I have not seen in my queue ever before.

[@tgatt5759]

How I felt going into a tournament after the fragment of reality nerf without knowing.

[@SimonFishley]

Lol. "I don't know how my life works anymore."

[@FaereSedura]

With the opponent on so few lands, isn’t it more worth to pull out a land to reduce their odds of drawing into them rather than the chance they don’t have basic lands?

[@FaereSedura]

@@honestabe411 could you elaborate a bit on that? I don't see how shuffling impacts the chance of them drawing land, whereas thinning the deck of lands does

[@SilverHawkStrategies]

I called into work to watch this video.

[@RiKSh4w]

So funny interaction: Presuming Doorkeeper Thrull affected enchantments or all permanents like Elesh, the sagas would still work. Well that's because they don't have an ETB effect. They just enter with a lore counter on them just like Planeswalkers enter with loyalty. THEN because the saga got a counter put on it it triggers the first chapter. So yeah you can absolutely use a binding of the old gods to kill an opposing Elesh Norn.

[@raymondblackmore654]

'Round Here by the Counting Crows. What a fantastic and at this point esoteric song reference. Love it. Love the content. CGB, you are cool!

Unyielding Gatekeeper. Fits in nicely. Doesn't interact with thrull and comes out nicely from the GY with Serra. Thanks for the deck idea!

Why doesn't the Flanker have Flanking, though? Total flavor fail.

[@KabobHope]

No flanking. No banding. No one can figure that stuff out.

[@DrBrickface]

I'm going to say a (probably) dumb and wrong opinion, but mono color magic is the magic that god intended. Two colors is okay, its its own thing and not too egregious, and rainbow is usually for memes or amazingly silly Timmy decks, but when 3 colors starts becoming the norm? Starts becoming 'acceptable'? I start wishing that wizards would print 10x more powerful non-basic land destruction to put these 'well i just put the all best cards of these colors into my deck and it works lol' heathens into a pit of sadness.

[@deadneck13]

24:51 "thank god this thing doesn't turn off enchantments" - sagas aren't etb triggers. They get around that. So it would only turn off half your deck.

[@ReyaadawnMTG]

Counting Crows is the best Country band in the history of music. Think about it, it is true.

[@Gaze_Hound]

I’ve always enjoyed your white control videos I want to be a better control player so I’ll take this into the arena also the taxing of etb is fun .

[@mrblondecpa]

I don’t understand what happened on turn 2

[@koolas_9429]

@@mrblondecpa Lay Down Arms exiles a creature with mana value lower or equal to the number of plains you control. CGB wanted to kill opponent's 2 drop, but played the tapped land, which wasn't a plains. While 1 mana is theoretically enough to cast Lay Down Arms, it wouldn't have been able to exile the creature that costs two mana while he only controls one plains. So he should have played the other basic plains that turn.

[@owldragon]

​@mrblondecpa CGB forgot that he needed 2 plains to target the Picnic Ruiner with Lay Down Arms. That card can only target creatures with mana value equal to or less than the number of plains you control.

[@rabid_lychee5530]

Wait, your first name isn't covert? Lol

[@ast12321]

Hey CGB, you may have missed this, but in the match against Gruul if you had played a plains on turn 2 instead of the sunken citadel you could have used lay down arms on the picnic ruiner. Might have changed the outcome. /s
