7:58 I feel like Test of Talents is kind of a big brain include in a format that's so heavy on counter magic. A two-mana hard counter that will almost always have a target and lets you peek at the hand is pretty neat

Also hitting instants and sorceries is actually like, sorta rare for a counterspell on arena. Card's really not that bad.

The only other time I've seen Test of Talents in Historic Brawl was when I tried a Dragon's Approach deck. I just sat stunned until my rope started. I didn't win that game

The Jodah and Bolas games were some of the best games of magic I've ever seen, including on your channel. Very cool

That last game was such a standard Izzet win, honestly. Getting punched down on the whole game, then snagging it with a series of powerful spells and storm shenanigans.

That spikefield hazard dealt lethal in real life, goddamn

27:37 that was the most epic burn down the house! HAHA

galazeth prismari is really good in this deck, especially your list that has all the treasure making instants n sorceries. the fact galazeth lets u tap the treasures n not sac them for instants and sorceries adds another pop-off angle.

What an absolutely insane deck, I can't believe this is actually a thing!

That last game was sweet. I love seeing a deck storm off in Arena.

Amazing gameplay!! Spikefield deaths are devastating.

That last game against Bolas was Legendary status

I didn't know half the stuff happening there, but boy did I pick a great video to get motivated to get back into MTG!

So epic. Spikefield Hazard for the win. And then that last game. Well done!

I see Magma Opus, I like the video. Simple as that.

Shoutout to the final opponent, cappodocious, for sticking around (after having a strong position) and letting us watch the combo at the end.

Wow those were some great matches

that spiked field hazard lethal was some serious 500iq type of play Jesus Christ

Love the video as always CGB!! Thousand Years Storm also should be really funny to see in this deck.

Bolas be like "I can sit through 9 extra turns no problem"

The fastest click in the dojo.

I’d argue that test of talents isn’t necessarily a bad card in historic brawl. It’s still a 2 mana counter instant or sorcery that also gets you a full look at every card your opponent has. Information is value and there will often be a target for the spell.

love historic brawl content! long live CGB

Watching this after playing last night's game of commander with Anhelo is really fun to see. May consider using this as a baseline to help power up the deck.

Some of the most epic games of magic that I’ve seen recently.

I use the kaya draft enchantment in my vadrik deck. It essentially almost always gives you an option to x spell. Super good for finishing games.

Haha that last guy was awesome clicking tje whole way through XD

the bolas and the jodah games were phenomenal to watch

I don't know if you've done this yet, but i'd love to see a Raff Capashen, SHip's Mage control deck. It allows you to hold up mana for counterspells or removal, and if you dont need to use any, you can instead ccast powerful legendary creatures like urza or powerful artiacts or even just mana rocks

The last game was epic!! Even more than the "JIN GYTAXIAS!!" game

that game at 27:13 is defiantly worth the "never didn't have it"

CGB vs all the Bolas's! what an epic moment

That last match was EPIC

We had the exact same reaction to the test of talents 😂

Been waiting for an izzet deck again since niv. Still playing that deck too lol

Last game was amazing as a come back.

I had a nightmare last night that I was watching your latest video and realized halfway through it wasn't brawl.

Stayed for the intro and till the end

I think maybe shaving 3 or 4 lands might be optimal but I love geist wave I also use riptide lab and have added dig

I put things like akki war paint in my vadrik deck for more power for vadrick

Beating the jodah deck with a spikefield hazard! legendary!

izzet spells is so much fun, i usually end up running it with some of the big dumb enchantments like thousand year storm but i hate paradox engine

I wanted to build a multi day/night deck, because there's a janky pile of cards that profit from multiple days passing

mizzet always have some nice combos

I guess Test of Talents isn’t totally useless in brawl, you get hand information and can shuffle the opponent’s deck.

I dont play Magic, Arena or otherwise*, but I’m always surprised when people scoop after one small setback. A loss is a loss, surely play it out and seen if you can claw back the W? CGB the perfect example of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat in the last game there. Must feel much better than conceding after a turn 3 commander counter or whatever. Worst comes to worst, you get to see your opponent pull some mad 10 minute turn, and even that’s kinda fun? *don’t ask why I watch online magic gameplay. I couldn’t tell you myself.

Very well said! Some much better magic players than I have said as much and I've finally started to listen. There are so many premature snap concedes in tilt in arena, it's ridiculous. I used to do it too much myself. Sometimes you don't want to waste time, but most of the time it's not the right move to quit!

Gas!

I wold definitely tutor a thought distorsion against vadrik if I was that opponent...

Test of Talents is good bc it is basically a swan song that looks at the opponent's hand and deck.

Kaza, Roil Chaser can be good in this kind of deck?

Wow that jodah game

Hey CGB do you think there’s a good combo with the commander named “Isshin two heavens as one@?

YES. This is my favorite deck to play! I have a few versions, my strongest version heavily focuses on boosting his power, like 15 pump spells. I have many cheap counterspells, and often you can wait a turn, play him and then counter the removal, popoff when you untap. This works shockingly well for me. I win much more with the full YOLO build+counterspells. I've tried doing 0/minimal pump spells and so often I lose games because I dont have them to popoff.

I really like izzet storm decks, seem to win out of nowhere, big spells big damage. Just the way magic is supposed to be.

Have you ever tried playing a winter orb deck?

I want Shlestus!

has anyone cheering for how fun this deck ever played against it? 90% ppl scoop the minute they see you're playing a turns deck bc no one cares to see you scratch your head over which draw spells you want to fumble through for the next 30 min lol. it was fun to watch the nail-biter matches but any sane opponent would scoop immediately to chaining turns and move on.

How does copying Alchemist’s Gambit work? If you pay the cleave cost, are the copies also cast that way? I’m always worried that copies will not be the cleave version of the spell.

Couldn't you Dual Strike a cleaved Alchemists Gambit since its mana value is still 3?

Kinda suprised Haughty Djinn didn't make the list. It's one of the best instant/sorcery cost reducers in Arena after all.

Pls make a video with Domri I like the Stompers

Why no Celestus?

No big deal, just a 7 minute turn to finish the Bolas game. Opponent is a better man than me!

Izzet Friday is back 🤣

No thousand year storm?

yes, the last game was nuts. but i wouldn't want to pilot the deck in that situation or be the enemy, its just too many actions for me x_X

Please try lagrella

oh hi, thx for being here while i play this game alone with you not allowed to partisipate in any way shape or form.. have fun!

Wake me up before you combo!

Yea I’d give that game a 6-7… can definitely be dealt with but trouble.

I wanted to apologize. Last night I ran into you (or at least someone using your name?) on the standard ranked queue while I was trying to target a specific 750 gold quest, so I was using mono red and you ended up stuck on two lands and only played 3 yotian frontliners before scooping. I'm sorry! Mono red is not my usual deck, and it would bring me shame if that's how you remembered me :(

Dude, it’s so annoying how quickly these historic brawl players scoop, especially with these decks. Like why can’t people just enjoy their opponents popping off with combos and be happy for them? Magic is more than just winning or losing. Sorry for rant
