White/Black Vampires | Ranked Standard [MTG Arena]

[@expchrist]

"Argordon I hate you" - genuineness and sincerity are qualities I value in content creators.

[@kylekonop4801]

Argordon is the reason we need a version of Arena with shorter timers.

[@MateoByrd-kg9rf]

The fact that I’m watching on 1.25x speed and they’re still going insanely slow…

[@blobzombie]

Argordon sounds like a brand of a graphing calculator.

[@AaronRotenberg]

​​@@blobzombie It sounds to me like a Magic creature name. Trained Argordon. Like Trained Armodon.

[@kaemonbonet4931]

Pulling the 3rd synthesizer would have caused even the Buddha to mald.

[@canis39]

There may be nothing worse than an opponent who ropes, ropes, ropes, ropes, ropes, ropes... and then plays the absolute best possible card -- the only card that ever could have made sense to play. What the actual f#!@.

[@xsa]

Sometimes I get called on emergency diaper duty when I have my gaming time and I can't say no to it. It's not personal or trying to be aggrevating, it's just unfortunate.

[@Tinil0]

@@xsa That happens once. For one turn. The issue isn't roping out randomly once during the battle because something came up, it's people that clearly don't have the mental capacity to play Magic because every single turn takes minutes to make the most obvious decisions.

[@joebaranoski6393]

​@@xsa Then forfeit your game instead of making the player on the other end miserable for 40 minutes. Or play unranked mode so you don't feel like you're losing anything if you tend to get interrupted a lot. Or play Marvel Snap, which is an amazing 4-minute competitive deck-builder. This is basic common courtesy. Nobody cares if your kid is your reason for your selfish behavior. It's still selfish behavior.

[@xsa]

@@joebaranoski6393 Nah. The game designers have made the game work like this and thus when you play the game, you sign up for this being a possibility to happen.

[@leadpaintchips9461]

@@joebaranoski6393 If you want a curated list of opponents that play to your specific requirements instead of what the designers implemented, then don't play against random people. No one has to conform to your selfish wants, and it's common courtesy to allow for unexpected issues to happen with random people that you're matched with/against online.

[@sujdik]

The Simulacron deck is so good that a person can win by taking every possible wrong decision

[@pleasethedragon]

Those cards in the deck tech certainly are some card, that get used in the games! Especially the big ones which may or may not be there if this is an aggro deck! XD I found the intro funny, have a good holiday CGB, enjoy!

[@TC-cq7oc]

Hullbreaker Horror in a High Noon deck is a pretty cool piece of tech. It basically shuts the opponent down entirely once its on the board.

[@Seppi1310]

Maybe Argordon let his lil bro play and was explaining the deck on the go 😂

[@EggsAreGood55]

Honestly that would be believable considering that simulacrum artifact deck takes zero brain power to use lol. You may be on to something sir.

[@Kalenz1234]

In ranked?

[@Seppi1310]

@@Kalenz1234 oh. Good point

[@blobzombie]

The fact that you put every fiber of your avaraice into saying _Argordon.... I hate you."_ is why I love your content.

[@alexanderblixt1221]

I imagine you meant to use another word. Avarice means greed.

[@jeremiemordor7821]

@@alexanderblixt1221To be fair, he didn’t quite say avarice.

[@EggsAreGood55]

It appears that boros players' brains are rotting at a much faster rate then even mono red at this point... Very impressive.

[@undahraadaundahraada5594]

Todays mission: Attack with 30 creatures. Has to be.

[@SirFatCatt]

Never thought about Horror in a high noon deck but that is so evil lol

[@blobzombie]

It's pretty evil, especially when you pair High Noon with Hullbreaker and Jin Gitaxis, Progress Tyrant. Can't wait for that one to rotate.

[@cdgregOG]

Man, I love how these quick video decks have shaken up standard. I’m playing against more of a variety now. Thank you! UB control is also great against most of them so win win lol

[@youngbeard]

44:22 Don't worry, I enjoyed it! :) I think I've commented before that I like seeing the "bad experiences" now and then because it makes me feel that I'm not being singled out when I have such bad experiences.

[@pablomorales4088]

I liked the part when the deck did what it was supposed to and made the opponent lose all their lifes

[@toddharig8142]

That part was insane ngl.

[@EggsAreGood55]

Honestly that control player was pretty bad overall. Not trying to be mean or anything, but it just goes to show the state of control right now. Makes bad play after bad play but it didn't even matter. Exactly why more than half the people I face are control decks lately.

[@Dunsie]

Yeah. Control players bad. Mono red players are big brained and based. /s

[@brendanroper3131]

Appreciate all the videos about different decks in the meta. Helps me understand my opponents decks better and I’ve been able to take a Selesnya Enchantments deck to Platinum 2. Diamond coming soon!

[@BrandonSims-ch3rz]

I love seeing a vampire deck so fun to play with!

[@NickTemperistic]

The skill that it requires for someone to be at their PC during a whole match of magic is insane

[@NessOnett8]

I really hope CGB follows up on that and we get an Azorious Artifacts video in the next few days. That deck is sick. And would fit CGB's style exceptionally well.

[@michaelbecker4123]

At 51:03, should play the cut down post-combat. If he has instants to pump he has to use them then.

[@puniopenetrante]

"Today we play best of one.....THIS IS STANDARD" I love a good intro.

[@jacobcarr3517]

Him looking over and thanking the editor in the intro is funny to me because I imagine him looking in a mirror and thanking himself.

[@FlyingSpaceOstrich]

Yes! I love orzhov decks

[@FlyingSpaceOstrich]

I'm pretty sure Argordon was playing on mobile, judging by how long it took them to assign each individual attacker. Maybe they had a bad connection, and maybe they were a fan who really wanted to play well. Still, they did play very slowly and it is very frustrating

[@honestabe411]

I picture slow players in a wheelchair wearing a helmet

[@soconapleura]

Not gonna lie, being called a "mesa falcon" is real love language

[@Rikigoya]

the Argordon game was so funny, CGB im right there with you i would be so salty/annoyed :D

[@TheMagister]

+1 internet points for the "The 13th Warrior" reference.

[@FumaEarth]

The visible frustration of losing to this deck.... I felt that!

[@IflonO]

Have an awesome vecation and thanks for the upload

[@roshandala]

I've played with players like argordon IRL like during prerelease. So annoying when I only get 1 game in while the rest of the room got to play best of 3 is so depressing. Like it shouldn't take that long to decide to play one of the two cards in your hand.

[@Tinil0]

It's absolutely infuriating and incredibly rude on their part. I am gonna assume they didn't have like, an actual excusable disability or something. Or were brand new. Or 6 years old.

[@zeka2255]

Sad for you, but new players do exist.

[@roshandala]

@@zeka2255 we found argordon!

[@JohnnyTightIips]

​@@zeka2255so play one of the two cards and if that was a mistake, learn from it

[@derangedberger]

That first match is the perfect simulacrum of what it's like playing against mono red and boros players... no thought or attempt to think through their actions. "Put creatures on field. Put more creatures on field. Attack. Win! Wait, why no win? Wtf? I concede."

[@bakerfly305]

Checking out Europe? How many countries are you visiting?

[@BionicReaper]

8:40 why did all the creatures die? Am I missing something?

[@miclash013]

Because those dead creatures were left with 1 toughness remaining after damage, but with Edgar Markov dying all of those vampires' toughness were reduced by 1 and so they died anyways. Remember that marked damage remains until the end step, so if something loses an anthem/indestructible it will die from marked damage.

[@BionicReaper]

@@miclash013 thank you random person on the internet

[@TheZouKal]

What a brainded first opponent playing boros 👊. That CGD's face on the third synthetizer 😆

[@Heavymetaldude8]

I hope Argordan see's this video and chooses to be a better person. Thats worse than trolling with toxic decks. lol

[@elibroide]

Ohh god I love the intro!!!!

[@JoshuaAdim]

Vamps + bat god = noice

[@jamespark3510]

lol at first person with classic boros mindset " I sent all, i should have won, why? rigged game quit"

[@francoistestard2407]

you don't play some desertS in your deck CGB ?

[@honestabe411]

RB vamps is where it’s at

[@FlawlessRythym]

I love watching you get salty about long turns when in fact you're a habitual long-turn-taker. They say people don't like others who are too much like themselves. 😂😂😂😂

[@logan-870]

the difference being, cgb takes long turns when there are multiple paths he can take and he talks them out. that guy had literally 1 or 2 cards in hand and likely literally only a single play that made any sense at all and still took 1000 years. players like that are braindead.

[@jeremiemordor7821]

@@logan-870Precisely, and I’ll add that he goes through the motions with us, usually going step by step so his thought process is clear. I’m almost certain he plays faster when he’s not making a video, or streaming. Also, ArGordon was mighty slow, fucking snail’s pace really. To the point where one may wonder if it is deliberate.

[@boobox2000]

Feel like I need to defend Argordon. His deck was good, sure he played a little slow, but he played within the timers and it's not like we haven't seen CGB take long turns. I think CGB was just extra salty for losing to a better deck.

[@xenogenesis9635]

I know Boros Convoke players aren't the brightest, but that first guy definitely ate glue in middle school.

[@Erictraiven]

Brothers end wreck that deck lol

[@Lordidude]

46:50 how were you able to play that during combat?

[@Arvensa]

unless you made a typo on the timestamp, nothing got played during combat CGB is familiar with the pace of the client and dragged Takenuma out to drop it into play fluidly just as the turn progressed into second main phase since nothing was holding priority for either player

[@Lordidude]

He played Takanuma and Announcement during combat. 2 seconds after my stamp. ​@@Arvensa

[@mark_b2]

I like your videos, and appreciate all the long hours you put in for these. Thank you. But I don't like being called a Mesa Falcon

[@vsqshok]

I wanted vampires deck to be good, but theyre mediocre at best. Believe me im a big fan of vampires i tried many combinations. The fact is, you cannot make "theme" deck, you must add other cards to be decent. If you try vampires only, it sucks...

[@MrOrange88888]

Nothing old about this build

[@Okhaz]

Argordon might have been a bot. I've seen it in other games where they use a simple deck that takes ages to play and use an insane amount of time for every step just to get you to quit. I've ran in a higher amount of such players this week.
