Yeah... he's noob.

If it said "if you would lose life", it would make the opponent HAVE to kill Ashiok to win most games (damage causes loss of life)

Be carefull about misreading Ashiok everyone. The static ability of Ashiok specificly cares about you "paying" life. So a trigger or effect that makes you "lose" life like The One Ring doesn't get replaced with exiling cards from your deck.

I don’t understand why this is so hard for some people to realize. The fact that losing life ≠ paying life is very simple and straightforward, at least in my mind it is. Maybe I’m just too much of a rules expert lol

@@vietquang8739 It’s a trading card game. There’s nothing to see. It’s cardboard. Everything that’s understood about the game is done by reading and understanding the words on a card and reading and understanding the rules. All of that is mental.

It's funny he got no lands in the game at 37:00 so I rewound it to the deck reveal and this guy still does not run over 40 lands with that curve and not running enough ramp in this format. This deck is pray for lands until you play ashiok once and lose when she dies you might as well just turbo her out every turn. you should run 43-45 lands in almost all decks and like 10 ramp cards when every opponent is ragavan, atraxa, etali, and emoti who all ramp to oblivion until they drop an ultimatum level threat on turn 4 or 5 you need to run more removal and discard strategies or more ramp and bigger spells if necro is the strategy then run every tutor and stop d*cking around I'm sowwy i had to tell you how to pway the game I still love you though cgb

NO CGB you arent stupid, this was very educational on how to play the new Ashiok and also what to look out for. Pay and lose are very different. On the flip side the lose life effect draw cards alot of them are meta. But i would personally remove the lIlis contract...there is more than enough card advantage and it does not benefit the Ashiok

Not sure if this helps or not, but when you "lose x life", it's a consequence of an action; when you "pay x life", it's a cost associated to an action. For example, if you "pay 1 life" to exile a card with Necropotence, you're paying the cost (the 1 life) to exile the card; if you lose x life with The One Ring (for example), it's a consequence of the ring having x counters.

Worth noting you can also toss The Irencrag into Mount Doom to blow up the board.

Honestly I thought he knew that he was killing himself with the lose life stuff and just didn’t care

I watch every CGB video on all channels, usually only comment to complain or criticize.. but this is one of your best videos so wanted to drop some praise. Informative, interesting, competitive, fun- Ty

Excited to see the historic brawl decks you build with all the new cards and all the classics they brought back. Cards like Doubling Season, Primal Vigor, and Paralell Lives have made my wolf/werewolf token deck so much fun. A little janky but wins more than I'd ever expect it to. Pretty much had to edit all my blue brawl decks for Rhystic Study lol

I have fond, and also horrific, memories of Type 2 Necropotence play. I won my 1st regional qualifier back in the day with a mono black Necropotence/weenie/discard pile. Playing Necro with the new Ashiok is just perverse and super fun, for the person playing it. Not so much for the opponent.

If it said “lose life” instead of “pay life” then your opponent would either have to remove ashiok to be able to kill you normally, or have to deal enough damage to deck you out entirely i.e. like 75-85 damage to exile your entire deck so you die on your draw. Would be nightmarishly busted if that were the case.

Missed a " I have a fever, and the only cure is more card draw" opportunity

I really appreciate your attention to the length of your little ad spots. I don't mind them at all! thanks for keeping it short and to the point.

CGB has a fever and the only prescription is more card draw.

Love CGB realizing how his cards worked in the very last game lmao. “Can’t wait to read the comments” (53:25) was too real. My favorite moment was when he played Liliana’s Contract with Ashiok out, lost 4 life, and didn’t even notice (17:46). 🤣 Still, the deck dominating like it did even when built subomtimally shows both Ashiok’s power and CGB’s skill.

Defiler of Flesh from All Will Be One would be a great addition to this deck. Let's you "pay 2" instead of a black mana for permanent black cards. Also don't forget Ashiok counts all the exiled cards that white loves to lock up. At least if you own them.

was looking forward to this so much!!

Swamp. Dark Ritual. Necropotence. Pay 19 life. Draw 19 cards. If no force of will was played that meant game over. Turn 1 win.

I have no idea what you were talking about on game 3, all I could hear was sad Yorion noises. Btw I love how you presented it like one of the best deck, and turns out it's built all wrong because of the way Ashiok's passive works! I hope there'll be a part 2 after the fixes! lol

Me: reads the card The card: gets explained. It’d be a bit strong if it prevented life loss - direct damage from creatures is life loss after all, or being bolted to the face. It just replaces instances where you’d pay life (in general, it’s something you do first to activate an effect) by exiles instead. Btw, the play in the last game was to keep plussing your Ashiok and ult it eventually imo.

29:40 24 to 3 and you thought about scooping. That's insane.

the ending was hilarious!

Throughly enjoy you HB videos! Sometimes they're better than playing MTG Arena!🤣

I'm going to try building this deck on Arena myself but I am not sure I understand how to properly play it? Do you focus on milling or exiling for stacks to your nightmare tokens? What is the main goal for this deck?

@52:55 This is retribution for pronouncing Sauron as Sorin :)

It would be interesting to see more proliferate effects in the deck to leverage Ashiok's ultimate and mill/exile the opponent's entire deck after a Necropotence or Citadel binge...

stone of erech and Leyline of the void are both perfect for this deck

That last game hurt to watch... You'd have died from having 4 creatures even if you didn't attack! You coulda gotten Sheoldred to gain some life at least instead of a Karn that did nothing! DX

Really diggin' this intro! So much energy! Is it the mountain dew? I would have learnt "lose life" vs "pay life" the hard way too.

i think in the last game you should have tutored for professor onyx the magecraft drain could have kept you in the game

Yay more Brawl! :D

beautiful deck :)

Imagine people scooping to multiple Necropotence activations in paper commander like they do in Arena.

Forget the Irencrag. I run the Collectors vault in every HB deck now. 2 mana loot + treasure? Yes please!

Pay life is part of the cost, lose life is an effect.

This is why I hate historic brawl and historic in general. It’s the definition of feels bad when watching the opponent pop off in an uncounterable combo that means slow death. I mean, it’s why no one stays… why waste 10 minutes when you know you’ve already lost?
