WE STILL HAVE GOLOS | Historic Brawl | MTG Arena

Definitely give Rusko the spot and let Golos roam free! Another great list, of course! Also, I used to play Esika and Go-Shintai vs Golos a lot. I’m curious if you saw them and didn’t have the space to include those videos?

It was an honor to play against you CGB!!!

Thanks for not conceding. You’re The real mvp 😊

Lucky, hopefully I’ll play against him one day

Bro, why would you say that “oh look at me I beat someone so I know that I can beat you” that’s what you just said. Take a break from the internet and go outside

[@captainofthesevenbees]

My bad was kinda mad at that moment I’m sure you’re a pretty chill person, and I apologize for my previous comments. But don’t go bragging about how your the best it doesn’t do anything

[@Hawk-ly9fi]

You should do more Historic Brawl content outside of your holiday.

[@grizzwald15]

He started releasing 1-2 on the weekends after brothers war was released.

[@pretends2know]

I played Golos to no end from 2020 to the start of 2022 and was one of my all time favorite legendary creatures. Golos deserves to be in Hell queue because it's an advantage engine to no end and homogenized 5 colors.

[@TheNaturalnuke]

Fetching World Tree is vital to golos

[@dotmp3883]

Hard agree golos seems fun to play but is miserable to go against

[@TheNaturalnuke]

You should make a video explaining the different queues, what to expect in each one, and how it impacts the deck building

[@Dtk402]

Yeah exactly! I never heard of them, outside of CGB videos of course

[@heraldofv3379]

Man, Im looking for that, I feel like me putting noxious grasp, aether gust, dispute, veil of summer etc in most of my decks is a thing CGB disagrees with and Id like to know when I should and shouldnt

[@PinkReaper1]

There's not really individual queues, rather, the matchmaker tries to match you up vs other decks that have similar numbers of card rarities in their deck. This is why Kinnan is such a common match up vs Golos(as well as Prismatic Bridge I was surprised CGB didnt end up against it at all) because those decks tend to run as many huge, powerful spells as possible and those are almost always in the Rare/Mythic slots.

[@tedbrown4427]

I can que some mono White uncommon commander with all commons and still get the hell que. It's a myth, lol 😆 😅

[@heraldofv3379]

@@PinkReaper1 Really? I was so far convinced that the algorithm looked at your commander first, because you know kinnan doesnt run that much rares or even just powerful cards due to the mana dorks I believe

[@ejaliifua1s]

I love how you shouted out other content creators at the end! Everyone can be inspired, even the ones who inspire us. Appreciate you, CGB!

[@jasonavina8135]

I’ve been playing magic since 94 and this is the first commander game over ever watched in person or online and I think I really like that format. Standard really feels these days like whoever goes first wins but commander(even historic) seems like there’s more chance to actually play magic and develop a strategy. Great video.

[@pandaman2234]

Golos is the commander that demonstrates the biggest gap between Timmy and Spike players. If you just build he to be battlcruser and hit with big stuff, he is still one of the most powerful commanders to play that way but he's mostly reasonable. But if you even optimize your deck to about 50% of its max power it becomes extremely oppressive even in power level 8 or 9 metas. I think that's why many people felt it was fine and didn't understand the ban, they were either playing with or against extremely casual Golos decks, if you live somewhere that the LGS has even a mid power meta Golos becomes a real problem.

[@matthoward6130]

Then why isnt Golos anywhere on the cEDH tier list? Because its a pub stomper, not a powerful meta card.

[@AaronRotenberg]

50:32 Otawara lists them out individually. You can bounce creature lands with it.

[@christophwhiteyz9787]

That first game was a heavyweight slugfest. Also those golos vs kinnen games crack me up, total scoop fests.

[@jaeger2780]

that Bolas NOOOOOOOO was iconic

[@scales8768]

Damn man, I know you are a good player but here you showed us some really impressive skills on this video. Also, as a fellow HB brewer myself, I know how hard it is to build a deck all by yourself (ex: I am trying to find the perfect 100 for Saheeli atm, so so hard). Building a good standard deck feels like an absolute joke in comparison. So I think it is very nice from you at the end of the video to give a shoutout to other streamers for inspiration.

[@derenbott5371]

One of my favorite things play with Golos is a World Tree/Gods deck. I find that there are many players who are so focused on getting rid of Golos that they don't realize that I've gotten enough lands to activate the World Tree until it's too late.

[@heraldofv3379]

Maybe this is actually a fair bit compétitive if youre not greedy with the amont of gods, like the most powerful ones only, and it would give away the plan to run like... them all

[@andrejdodig1203]

Definitely agree with the take on Rusko from the start of the video. I started playing CB just a couple of days ago, Rusko being my commander, and have achieved a 90-95% win rate. I've frequently been matched up against relatively bad commanders, which has made the games paradoxically less fun. All in all, I definitely think Rusko should be upgraded to a higher queue level.

[@last7116]

I think Chromatic Lantern belongs in this deck, as well as Dovin’s Veto.

[@nabazanwar6326]

Loved it. And strong of you to mention the other content creators 💪🏼❤️

[@MrTippvehler]

Fastest way to farm your daily wins: Play Rusko and wait for opp to quit in 5s. If they dont you quit and go for the next match. It doesnt even take 10min for 15 wins So yeah I think he should be banned if so many players hate to play against him

[@alexanderforbes1452]

What I find most obnoxious about Rusko is how prolific he is. Even if he was a bad card I would roll my eyes with how much I'm matched against him. He makes for really homogenous games that betray the spirit off the format which is all about variety.

[@metalking837]

Don't miss seeing golos in edh. Seems fun in brawl though

[@Huch404]

Please do Velomachus Lorehold someday! My deck wins alot and is alot of fun to play but I'd like to see what someone that's been playing for longer than a year can come up with.

[@terraproxy4097]

Thank you very much for your gameplay, master CovertGoBlue.

[@diogonascimento9437]

And he goes to the top of hell que. Yesssssss!

[@hellproof2379]

Rusko not being hell tier makes it less fun to play. I feel bad when I’m up again some 3 mana boros commander I’ve seen one or 2 times before and I have all blue in hand.

[@mandielyn0416]

That first game was so gas!

[@oliverwilson6013]

I play Golos God's feat. The World Tree. He always resolves but dies instantly, which is what I want to keep fetching lands. Pulled it off a few times, really fun when you pull it off.

[@arturovargas3847]

Golos, just like kinnan, is and forever will be an enemy of historic brawl.

[@J-Martijn]

No chromatic Lantern for manafixing?

[@Methus3lah]

I have a Golos deck where the entire strategy is to cast Golos, search up The World Tree, ramp like crazy, and then activate World Tree to bring out a whole bunch of gods. With Purphoros, they all have haste, and you can swing for the game.

[@FallenJustice]

Hell queue - that explains it. No wonder I am always facing Golos and Kinnan when i play Sythis.

[@Kazz1187]

Jeebus that hell-queue slog ahahaha

[@jamesking4736]

I actually go up against golos alot and its not that dangerous in brawl. You can typically outpace it or keep it off the board. In 4 player co op its much stronger because when it comes out its typically left alone lol

[@pr0fess0rbadass]

I remember before the matchmaker was fixed, and every 4th match you played was against Golos, I made a Lavinia deck and watched the Golos players scoop.

[@tcmatias]

That first game was sick!

[@emiliah3002]

poor field of the dead 🥲

[@GD0nly]

44:53 You aren't playing fair and balanced magic. You're playing Tefer and balanced magic.

[@facetatjoe3197]

Curious if Galazeth Prismari got better with all the new 0 cost artifact’s Brothers War brought to the table. Seems like you could ramp even faster and cheaper into some strong spells

[@wargh12]

Totally expected Golos maze's end combo for maximum spice😟

[@KenMFT]

My hands down fav commander to use. I use it for a pirate deck, mutate deck, and all out token deck

[@theresnosiknamesleft]

I would love to see a [[Codie, Vociferous Codex]] deck.

[@MattCorrales]

Frustrates me that there’s no Mana Vault or command beacon to get around the tax in brawl. :(

[@globenstine1335]

yeah compared to decks like kinan and teferi golos is way under powered. tbh i think kinan should be banned but w/e.

[@Calibrex_Gaming]

Fools was banned for a number of reasons that got around the very structure of the game. Like commander tax of only 1 instead of 2. It was better than any other 5c.

[@TimHoss-dx9pl]

So using cards that exile at end phase even is good way to get all Legendary lands in play and also protecting so can probly make pretty good token producing deck.

[@mistrzbajerycesarzpodrywu7652]

Do you add music in the background or is it in game music?

[@juancuelloespinosa]

Are the games you ultimately show in chronological order? I'd assume you leave what you feel is the best game for last (or maybe first for the view retention)

[@TheTrooper424]

Golos deserved the ban lol

[@ziggystardust7120]

Tyrone biggums sounds like a Dave Chappelle character

[@davidf9773]

i play a similar version with worldtree god (11 ones) otk style as main wincon and mazes end as 2nd option works fine... but as u mantioned vs cheap blue counters hard times.... but possible if u mangage to sneak him out once...

[@andrew-does-marketing]

How many lands does this run?

[@dispenserjakethedog5579]

check the decklist

[@last7116]

There are 45 land cards and a Sea Gate Restoration.

[@kadedoud6817]

Anything with a paradox engine should be in hell queue.

[@azullove979]

You could also play mono blue golos with world tree to fix lands then just counter everything with baral.... that's cool too. Lol

[@cassidybros2512]

I just play mono green Golos to help ramp. Especially in Hell Q!

[@hwago123]

I think IVY might deserve to be in the Hell Queue, but yeah, Golos isn't S tier. A similar commander is the 4 mana Jund creature that returns a land from graveyard to bf. A strong Jund midrange deck maybe worthy of Hell queue.

[@jacobcisneros7731]

No power of 9?

[@golternator333]

No but honestly how do you win?

[@grimmonolith]

[@Otacon2099]

damn talking about golos getting countered in hell queue, but doesnt run defense grid. just saying

[@FilmColossus]

God this video stressed me out

[@2010platinumstar]

It's honestly sad how bad golos is now. He used to be my favorite commander, but it's just way to hard to get, and keep him on the board for such a risky pay off. Too many things need to go your way in order to use him. 1. You need ramp early to fix your mana and cast him in time. 2. You need to draw counter spells early to stop your opponent from outpacing you and protect golos. 3. When using golos's ability, you need to hit at least one valuable card while avoiding all the ramp and counter spells that you've desperately needed up until this point or else you'll have spent 7 mana to do nothing.

[@yuseiyugi986]

Jesus Christ Teferi is a fucking eye sore. What is the point of playing against someone with teferi? A deck only with interaction is insane. It doesn’t even seem fun it just seems evil

[@carloskarner7352]

What a boring Deck

[@pastapockets984]

I wish every single WUBRG commander was banned in brawl. They ruin the format, and they all play the exact same game.

Not one of, Literally the #1 Commander. And the format is better without it
