[@tennesseefeetmonk752]

100% turned off when missed it twice. Have to read them cards....

[@briansturner]

Leave him be, he knows if he missed it or failed to explain his reasons... If you guys know so much why not make your own videos?

[@Finnigan28]

The ux designers are now thinking about redesigning the menace symbol

[@theprogressivecynic2407]

You should add Syr Konrad, the Grimm into the deck as a second wincon. Every time a creature enters or leaves the graveyard, it pings the opponent for 1 (ie. the Fiend Hunter loop will deal 3 to the opponent). This reminds me of my Rusko deck with Paradox Engine in that its win condition is most often the opponent seeing what you're up to and leaving.

[@piercearora7681]

Yeah. I love playing Baral, except that it's boring as shit when I get roped on turn 2 for the twelfth time in a row.

[@austinjackson3986]

​@@piercearora7681 karma is a bitch

[@theprogressivecynic2407]

@@piercearora7681 Yeah, there are just some commanders that people get really salty--Baral, Ragavan, and Fynn are all turn 1-2 that people tend to rope on sight. I have a couple decks that get roped too--Rusko (with Paradox Engine, Thassa, Displacer Kitten and Tome of the Infinite), Geist of Saint Traft (voltron), Miirym (with Spark Double, Panharm, and Terror of the Peaks), and Prosper are a few that just piss people off.

[@matthewstrange9336]

24:24 I’ve never screamed at my tv so hard saying “THE DOG HAS MENACE!!” Like the opponent miss played blocking with two creatures when they knew they were gonna play obliterater

[@joshoa90210]

Kroxa has menace at 26:00. CGB losing his mind lol.

[@AdamGRiley]

It pained me to watch…

[@xxskabxx]

That comeback from your opponent at 48:00 was dope

[@FOX119900]

About 95% of the time I am in awe of how creatively CGB plays MTG. The remaining 5% of the time I am in awe how blind he can be.

[@ahut757]

That time he forgot his commander had menace with the phyrexian obliterator was so painful I just stopped watching. I have enough stress in my life as it is.

[@callmethemonarch6038]

ITS GOT MENACE CGB DONT SWING THE 3/2 he swung the 3/2

[@vxcorwinxv]

The explanation at 4:30 was enough to make me burst out laughing at the sheer AUDACITY of this deck. Wow.

[@toien]

That moment at 1:13:00. Welcome to my MTGA experience. They always have it and I never do.

[@thelurkerbel0w]

Ah, alter of dementia. One of the magic cards of all time

[@somekindadragon3414]

I did watch your top new Commanders for Arena video, I greatly appreciated it, and appreciate you going over the combo again. And adding alternative wincons

[@andreadonelli3978]

"You do this 85 to 90 times and you win the game... Good job, you're cool!" got me dead😂😂

[@privettk]

Quintorius Field Historian would make a spirit each time you exile cards from Kroxa...interesting

[@josephgabel234]

I play it in my non combo fair version of the deck, it’s pretty fun, it counts exiling a card and reanimating a creature

[@chuckerstuffmacguffin7506]

Ceeg your madness is showing in a big way. Never stop being you, big man.

[@islandnowhere4703]

The twisted, convolute mind of a blue mage is a wonder to witness

[@M1n0tu5]

I watched the entire video hoping to see if CGB would realize that his commander had menance and the phyrexian obliterator couldn't block him...

[@Xorthis]

59:25 The Griz didn't get the counter because it didn't 'declare attack', it entered attacking. This situation is specifically defined in the following rule: 508.3a An ability that reads “Whenever [a creature] attacks, . . .” triggers if that creature is declared as an attacker. Similarly, “Whenever [a creature] attacks [a player, planeswalker, or battle], . . .” triggers if that creature is declared as an attacker attacking that player or permanent. Such abilities won’t trigger if a creature is put onto the battlefield attacking.

[@Kazz1187]

I like the signature holding his hand up when he’s deep in thought

[@darthslith8384]

Finally, someone explaining delayed triggers. Wish that my old group understood this with my Roon of the Hidden Realm deck. They didn't get that I could exile their stuff permanently by countering my own ability.

[@josephgabel234]

I built the combo where the goal was to reanimate storm herald and get lethal auras but it was more inconsistent since so much of the deck slots were devoted to random auras

[@SpinAroundU]

"revised bolt" CGB truly is a man of culture.

[@patrickwoodlands4086]

Both those losses were honestly pretty hilarious and incredible. Opponent sticking it out through a brutal Emrakul turn only to quickly build back up a board and top deck a Fiery Emancipation for the win. Other opponent hitting a perfect removal spell on a creature and also meanwhile stealing the crucial combo piece for K&K. You just can't script it. Top tier content yet again that you can only get from the superior format on Arena which is Historic Brawl.

[@FilmColossus]

27:21 now I’m wondering at what point you acknowledge the Menace lol

[@windinthewillow1871]

Are we gonna get a CGB vs Etali and the Altar of Dementia episode now 😂😂

[@beaudge1]

You might actually be a genuine genius Sir CGB!

[@aderoninone3244]

CGB missing menace on the doggo, dropping curses, and missing the combo triggers? This doesn't seem to be the way 😂. I really wish Arena did QoL things like stack the same triggers or small changes to cards so that they are functionally the same but are faster like they did with Blood Artist. They could give us a way to suppress a card until we want it to so it doesn't hold priority or a true skip turn, etc.

[@BADASS668]

Lol

[@johncarrier1006]

It’s so relatable when you curse. Reminds me of my daily mtg arena experience!

[@vendettarules1]

Sweet! I just pulled this commander card and was trying to think of how to make it good!

[@theninedivides6851]

30:35 I thought id never hear the day lol

great intro cgb, thanks for explaining.

[@Rhapsodies_In_Red]

*Any card that isn't Invoke Despair * CGB: "Okay that isn't so bad." 😂

[@JDIronBeard]

CGB your Commander has Menace so they couldn't block with the Obliterator in game 2!

I am so happy you made this deck ❤ ❤

[@j.g.6916]

what a nasty combo, i love it evil cgb

[@noahrice1367]

I like when you hear KZbinrs say “editor remove that” lol. No one would’ve paid attention but now everyone heard it cause it’s still there lol.

[@FilmColossus]

It’s to the point that I no longer remember the OG intro music

[@ZakanaHachihaCBC]

Minor correction, it’s a reflexive trigger, not a delayed trigger.

[@ernestsanchez3726]

Please keep making historic brawl videos. They are amazing and it is such a fun format

[@FilmColossus]

Greatly appreciate the Notorious reference

[@scorch6208]

That's the most convoluted and STOOPID combo on this channel. I love it lol!

[@Rampleraft]

Tbh, the existence of this video actually upsets me. I built a Kroxa & Kunoros deck shortly after the MoM release with the intent on playing good, clean Magic. It seems like today, everyone is roping me, scooping, or GGing when they see Alter of Dementia on the field. It's not my intention to go infinite with it. I just got into Historic Brawl and this was the second deck that I made from scratch, so I feel like I lost a friend a little bit. I love the content CGB, but the showcase of "toxic" decks has a pretty big impact.

[@musicneverd_es]

those were some super fun matches to watch, thanks!

[@Lurin-lf8kf]

Damnit! I’ve been having a blast with this commander as a good stuff legends deck…

[@TheFrigidMidget]

I've been tinkering with a voltron combo with Storm Herald and All That Gliters etc. Usually much quicker.

[@quietninjariot]

You gave me an idea on who to build in paper commander.

[@mandielyn0416]

I built this day one, the problem with the combo isn’t so much that it takes a long time, but that you have to be careful not to put kroxa and kunoros back into the command zone while clicking through all of the triggers.

[@pleravens]

any room for Syr Konrad? he likes the same creature popping in and out of the graveyard... but costs 5.

[@aresenal4]

1 card combo turns into 5 card combo in first 3 minutes lol

[@haggleboggle]

I did run into a Kroxa Kunoros deck once. But as the only thing I play in HellQ is Baral, I did just fine. Can't do anything if you can't resolve Mr Kroxa.

[@xavierbucher5405]

All of these comments calling out the menace like the way he attacked was the biggest misplay that turn 😂

[@ElektechN9ne]

LOL the moment when Etali completely screwed the strategy by finding Altar haha

[@kurtmooreca]

Love when CGB misplays his way to an Fbomb.

[@gigarodi]

Second game is like 30 minutos of CGB not realizing Kroxa and Kunoros has menace. But the content is great as always

[@lambda6736]

Some people dont have the fortitude to watch this deck, somehow. I cackled the whole time. CovertGoFurious, A Definitely Not Rigged Etali etb, Undercover Lightning Bolt? Very entertaining vid.

[@nooby900]

the match with kaydanMagdi was amazing. most people would have scooped after having a turn stolen by a emerakul

[@manuelcuevas7045]

This reminds me if the man who killed people with a spoon by smacking them with it

[@SR-di7ox]

I have never seen Emrakul cast, that was hilarious

[@rootallevil1395]

just so you know, if it were me. I'd let you play it out just for the torture of it, and still feel entertained.

[@Smith.S.E.]

17:30 , me, watching at 2x speed as I usually do : 😮

[@andfriends11]

I don't really need to add to the number of people shouting about menace, but... Sheoldred and Kroxa had menace so the opponent had to go to 1. Still, love the video and the deck!

[@saigeduffany5644]

My boi be really embracing his inner Ben Shapiro at that 2x speed

[@privettk]

Wouldn't your Loran have killed the Altar when they got it off Etali?

[@flylikeadodo6320]

As a former yugi player with basically no knowledge of magics history or meta or anything, I gotta say this about the thumbnail: do you know the 'first time?' meme

[@AazixUniverse]

Title: 1 card combo The combo: 2 cards

[@emanueltalavera4175]

@55:01 he does know his commander has menace, right?

[@Joseph125]

Is Kunoros the goodest boy in HB? The opponents seem to disagree

[@Emmett.jk_yt]

When you don’t realize menace exists pov your covert go blue

[@FilmColossus]

53:33 still no recognition of menace lol

[@nooby900]

thanks for more brawl vids cgb.

[@t-dogn6171]

Thanks CGB

Bruh, it has menace. CGB showing his true mono red colors and not reading the card.

Yeah I'm stopping at the 3:51 mark. This combo made my eyes roll into next week and I dont even want to see it.

[@joshgordon9741]

I run the deck without fiend hunter combo and just pure reanimator. I use altar of dementia only to fetch my best creature out of my deck

[@jonbrown8923]

Do this in Teysa Karlov but use Ashnod's Altar for your infinite mana

[@seanrasmussen2877]

Does anyone else see a creature swinging from the ceiling on Meathook Massacre? (I know what it actually is).

[@oddipyloris5329]

This deck is as exciting as a brain tumor

[@lisaparker271]

This is literally the K+K cedh deck lol. Well done?

[@silencia08]

Terror of the Peaks?

[@Michael.032]

FYI your explanation at the beginning for why the Kroxa and Kunoros ETB doesn't immediately target is a bit off. The reason is specifically because the ETB trigger doesn't return a targeted creature from your graveyard to the battlefield, but rather creates a second trigger that targets a creature to return. And while the period is important for creating the second trigger, as you pointed out, the most important part is the phrase "When you do". "When" only appears in Magic cards when it's creating a triggered ability (similarly to "whenever" and "at the [certain instance in time]"), so the word "when" appearing halfway through the card shows that there is a second triggered ability. And since the targeting happens in this second trigger, this whole combo works.
