Video Title: This Shouldn't Work Narrator: It didn't work.

[@chriswampler1]

It does work though, just most of the games recorded didn’t. I have something similar but without 4 each of the 4 pip Phyrexians. I can’t see using 2 wildcards on creatures I won’t use that much. They are like eggs. Easy to remove.

[@J.Tarrou]

Hey, that's not fair. If your opponent is playing some weird domain/counter spell deck and misses multiple land drops, the deck works great

[@matt21643]

After the intro rant I would have loved the troll of putting in the turn zero scoop game and ending the video 🤣🤣

[@absence9443]

Fun Fact: The chance of not drawing either Vindicator/Obliterator/Sheoldred in the last game is 4.398%

[@Th3s3o]

shuffler is fine, totally fine

[@zachjohnson3871]

Gotta love that shuffler... And not seeing ⅙ of your deck multiple games in a row when you've pulled 15ish cards. Or better yet... Watching your opponent rip answer after answer after answer with minimum lands to make it work and you absolutely flood out and only hitting every irrelevant card in your deck.

[@drbum-ne2fg]

​@@zachjohnson3871 Good game btw

[@theoneandonlyflexo]

​@@Th3s3o if you a game you are expected to see once in every 25 games doesnt happen, then that would be cause for concern. If you applied the same constraints to all hour games and see a game without drawing those statistically more often than that, that would be cause for concern. This is neither of those things.

[@RmFrZQ]

Nothing about that fact is fun.

I like when you play more fun decks than serious ones, this was good

[@francosilva3635]

dude I love ur raging, keep up the good work love ya

[@chubby0815]

the first battle right after the intro was really brutal. I Understand why you are just exhausted after battling Mitya79 and thus having to cut the video short. Props to you CGB!

[@feastuponthecat]

I think what makes the match against selesnya enchantments even more painful is that they weren't even a ranked opponent

[@CUATROMORCE]

yes they are

[@AutkastKain]

Arena is the real enemy

[@NamelessFacelessWhoa]

That rant at the top was 1000% real

[@bentanner199]

Intro aside, But why is the video so short?

[@carelstrey]

Hey cgb. I really love your rants. I’ve been watching for a long time and my kids still reference the day I got matched up with you on my birthday about 5 years ago. Anyway, super appreciate your stuff and hope you keep it up. For me this last year has been mentally challenging but your daily videos have been weirdly helpful. Cheers!

[@joshthompson7855]

Just want to thank you for the videos. You have taught me a lot about sequencing which has helped me to up my game some. I am not a mythic player yet but I hope be as I keep learning to play better. Thanks again.

[@bryantkapono420]

That first game was a battle. Glad you pulled through.

[@christompkins9617]

Love the chant, CGB. Thanks for the content!

[@TheTriptamineDream]

For those wondering why CGBs video is exactly 32:41, here's the answer. It's an obscure reference to New York City's little known Zoning Resolution 32-41. Which itself cites specific zones: C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, and C8. Which is obviously what he's indicating are his favorite common cards throughout MTG history And the perfect starting hand. C1 = School Of Mages STX, which is a common 001/275 C2 = Farfinder from IKO which is 002/274 C3 = Ainok Bond-Kin KTK 003/269 (nice) C4 = you might think it represents "Standing Troops" 004/30 from W17. But you would be wrong. It refers to the desire of CGB to explode (with the explosive C4) the fourth edition, his last favorite set. C5 = Celestial Unicorn AFR 005/281 C6 = Turtwig 006/172, yes a Pokémon card, which is an inside joke about Commandfest. C7 is missing. CGB chose this for obvious reasons. 007 is Built to Last KLD 007/264 - its specifiC lack here indicates CGBs view on life and all things under capitalism, nothing is built to last. And C8 = It of the Horrid Swarm 008/205 EMN. If I have to explain that to you. Well, you have not been paying attention. You're welcome.

[@JackPatrickDaniels]

I've been watching the video from 0:00 to 4:20 and I really feel you man. I am thankful for the explanation. But one thing I am still wondering. Why are your videos so short? Don't let them get you down CGB. Enjoy what you can and ignore what you can not enjoy.

[@kebo4660]

Thanks for another great vid!

[@MalaysianGov]

CGB out here on the grind getting us videos AND traveling. He juggling two jobs at once. Well done. We love ya. Big POG

[@imbasloth3727]

why are the videos so short??????

[@jorgamund07]

No joke, I have 2 BW decks in this theme but focused on the smaller monsters, and just today was looking at crafting 3 more Seedcores. Glad CGB put out a video to help make the decision!

[@nijian32]

LMAO! Dat rant! I love it.

[@TheTapode]

One your videos are not short and this was brutal today!

[@ladyangelouve59]

🤣🤣🤣: My reaction to the rant in the intro. That was absolutely priceless. And thanks, because I don't laugh very often: love you, you are very VERY cool 😁

[@gragrim]

Wanted to stop by and say I appreciate your content, very entertaining and well done

[@churrte]

Why so short? ;)

[@haggleboggle]

CGB you are my spirit animal. Especially in the intro to this video.

[@rubencp93]

3:39 That's some real talk right there. They wont see it, of course, but it was great! XD

[@thekwillis2830]

The amount of times mtg arena crashes on me every day is similar to this, its absurd

[@gl4re]

Arena crash, you got flooded or choked, draw 4 exact same card in a row that you cant cast, enemy top decked perfect counter with chances below 5% for three time in a row, you see on the play against mono red or soldier for nth time today. Yeah thats peak magic arena experience.

[@FilmColossus]

I saw a recent video was short and thought “That’s strange…” but then I watched the video and it made sense. Crazy how that works lol.

[@HoshizoraZankou]

16:46 for the moment when you can see the opponent go "well whatever this 'No Blocks' button has the same effect as 'Concede' anyway, right?"

[@StanZibar420]

You had me at "height of nonsense". That's my personal life motto

[@Maldozer]

ran into some jank obliterator fight spell deck the other day and had me saccing lands :D

[@krimhorn]

The classic Obliterator deck.

[@ManfredHKohler]

Thanks CGB, I had a hard times, some hours ago my girlfriends just left me out of nowhere, and I loved her so much that my heart is broken in several pieces that I have no idea when I will have power to stand up again, but your videos always distract me in the hard times, thank you for your charisma and work for entertain us

[@KroyX]

Sorry to hear that, all the best for the time ahead.

[@imkranlopez5426]

You had GIRLFRIENDS?

[@imkranlopez5426]

And this is why Arena servers are garbage. No one at my LGS plays Standard (I wonder why? WotC) so Arena is the only place I can but have to deal with constant DC, flood/screw, or getting paired with the worst matchups. It's like there's a flavor of the week that they favor and it's never what I'm playing.

[@kayezpz]

3:55 hahaha lol! And, we love you too! :)

[@geoturcotte]

Thank for keeping that last game in… it helps in the Hate Mono-Red Support Group knowing we’re not alone.

[@philiprussell1497]

Could this be a green white and black deck so you have just mana ramp fight cards and board wipes

[@thelordsephiroth777]

I have a phyrexian deck too. It's fun to have obliterators and vindicators and just watch the opponent cower in the corner

[@SuperRoxasXIII13]

cgb mental break down, the toober finaly got to him

[@mellowyeti1979]

I was just thinking about something like this yesterday. Knew nothing about seedcore though.

[@beauschmidt1080]

Wow that was painful 😂

[@empirate100]

I feel you about the monored nonsense that's going on. Whenever I queue up against the big R, on the draw, I feel like I've lost already unless they seriously brick on their draws. Even if they do, my draw's gotta be perfect to get out of a decent starting hand on the oppo's side.

[@robertbloch7559]

Those Arena crashes hurt.

[@Doubles7747]

Arena is so broken. When arena wants you to loose you will loose to a force loss and a stacked deck from your opponent. And wizards has the audacity to say that their shuffler is working as intended 😂.

[@Shootgreedofirst]

Missed a chance to name this "Oops! All Phyrexians!"

[@JakeHowlHero]

Opponent be like "Nah, I don't want to be humiliated by jank decks"

[@marcaguilar9313]

game 1 you could have double draw sleep and go for the throat, you didnt count the treasure token you'd get from BB

[@malikmalak4631]

Either the client crashes when you're winning or you get stuck with perfect draw opponents..... I think one of the main reasons I love watching CGB is because he's honest with what's going on in his games.

[@KroyX]

CGB has no clue what's going on with his whale account and probably doesn't want to know because it hurts the ego. Hit your curve and face weakened opponents more often than the average and feel skilled.

[@empirate100]

@@KroyX So you're accusing a professional content creator, who makes a living by providing us with every kind of possible new deck tech every single day without fail, of being a pay-to-win bastard? That's to points for chuzpah right there, gotta hand it to you! On the other hand, it's minus a million for style, but you do you.

[@henricocampos]

You make a deck to work against red or soldiers and happens two things: 1- You never face them, BUT always face some deck who runs some card/strategy nobody uses that destroys your deck. 2- You face them with the worst hand possible. It's like pick your poison

[@maciek19882]

I wonder what the 💙 and 💚 Phyrexian horrors will be

[@kiss6917]

I think it's the cards in the recent set that allow matchmaking and the shuffler to create games that are unbelievably torturous. So glad I don't play ranked, because the game remains enjoyable in any other queue

[@Obversechaos]

Frequent crashes are what happens when you have a skeleton crew running your multi-million dollar company and you don't pay them well so they frequently quit. MTGA has a very serious revolving door staff problem.
