The game against "charbelcher" was probably running Bolas's Citadel / Weather the Storm - goal is to pop off and cast your entire deck in one turn. Since you have no lands Bolas's Citadel never whiffs.
This is RAW CGB at his best with a disgusting control deck 😂 reminds me of when I first saw him when he won Brawl Hall
Watching the Hero of Dominaria and 3 Teferi drop against rogues was so satisfying.
I can't get enough of you playing control like this. You are so in your element and can really tell how much joy you have making the opposing players miserable 😂
This is CGB in his element. Teferi would be proud.
42:37 As CGB said, the opponent definitely deserved the beating after their double thought seize on the play, Channel, Ulamogged CGB down to 0 lands. 😂
I've been running Dimir Control with full sets of spell pierce, counterspell, archmage's charm and memory lapse, plus a full set of snapcaster. also gets 4 bowmasters and lurrus. its been so fun to be the evil mage
So great to see big Teferi in action again!🤩😍
That comeback against Ulamog was extremely satisfying.
I saw a Nexus of Fate deck for the first time yesterday. I was playing mill. I might have pulled it out but they got Timetwister from Oracle of the Alpha
I made a Sultai control pile and it works surprinsingly well. Hand hate from black to disassemble combos early, counter spells from blue, then Oko and Uro as cracked green cards. Throw in Calim, Djinn Emperor and, as a fun experiment, a couple of Horobi, Death's Wail to convert Calim and Oko's ability's into creature removal and the deck became *chef's kiss*. I feel like control is unexplored yet and many people just focus on the obvious combo decks instead of brewing actual interesting piles. I also want this format to never go away. It feels like it's the most interesting thing you can play.
06:29 CGB: the vise is tightening Opponent scoops CGB: the game ends!
Grixis Control next! All Hail Bolas!

My guy knows what’s good
Seeing this kind of nonsense always reminds me of the first time I got completely controlled by a Hero of Dominaria as wincon deck I played the game till I had no more cards, because I did not understand how Teferi itself was the wincon
This is the only format I accept and even embrace the existence of control. No Wildcards have been spent, no rank is on the line, and some of the most degenerate cards in Magic's history are legal, so embrace the toxic play patterns most people hate. I'm having so much fun playing this format, I'm even playing outside my wheelhouse and playing a Bant control list, and I'm enjoying it! Yes, it's even fun maneuvering around the Channel decks. I've won plenty of games through resolved Channels: even in the face of Ulamog/Emrakul triggers.
Happy to see your take on control in this format. It was really missing! I did a try with Esper bringing in 8 discard spells basically lol
I went 8-1 playing the deck! I lost to land destruction (3 ghostly quarters in the first 4 lands of my opponent). Great deck
absolutely loving this format, and im glad there are non-combo decks that survive. will we see a tainted pact / thassas oracle deck? its actually super interesting because it has to be singleton for it to work. i ran a dimir pile and managed to win several times in this crazy format. would love to see CGB make a far better deck than i did

I've played a bit of pact. You can run 2 pacts, but I made my deck singleton so I can run Lutri as a companion for the memes. Pretty fun, and there's a good amount of discard and counter magic in the format that makes the deck work.

@@the_r4ts I've been playing the format quite a bit, so it's possible. I've been playing a bant Nexus deck for fun, modern-inspired boros burn, and azorious control (similar to this deck, but a bit different). I've found that the control deck and burn deck vastly outperform any other decks I've played, for what it's worth.
This event has been the most fun I've had on Arena in a long time. I definitely agree that it's more fun when people can craft any deck they want instead of worrying about daily wins or conserving wild cards for only staples I typically despise subscription models but honestly I'd pay $20/month for full access to all cards across all formats

Honestly, I know it's magic what we're talking about and physical cards are expensive as fuck. But if you see arena as a videogame, 20$ a month for a shitty card game client is fucking insane compared to what most games offer for that price. The worst part is that if WOTC wanted to charge you 20$/month for virtual cards that you won't even get to own, they would do it. But they don't have enough with charging for virtual cardboard, they need lootboxes, two in-game currencies, a season pass and fake time limits to get all the money as possible from you.

war planeswalker is just that good, one sided effect all over the place.
Thanks, CGB new to magic and would never have figured out good countermeasures for this deck always enjoy your content. you're cool.
As someone who mostly played during the Rogues meta and absolutely hated it, this video really warmed my heart
Masterpiece. Bravo!
Beautiful deck. Love counter control. Good job.
Thanks for this deck, it's really fun to play with it
I love seeing Rouges get stomped. Great content
,, Attempted spells 10, Resolved spells 0!" " And if you get past my counters and you think you're in the clear, every turn 4 baby all that you're gonna hear - SUPREME VERDICT!!!"
Iconic deck and excellent commentary!
I’ve been waiting for this
i would have absolutely loved to see the mirror
Great to see you using the pretty alt art card styles!
Nasty Deck!
All hail the rakdos players
I've been beating this deck and the channel ones with grixis shadow which has been pretty sweet.
such a nasty deck... I love it.
All the power in the magicverse, and he plays teferi
2:17 he used Once upon a time in that moment maybe because he was playing around Spell pierce
Ah good old UWU control, one of my, if not the personal favorite strategy ever ^^ (maybe a close second to nexus turns)
Intro + outro = mah like o/
will u make a nexus of fate build? i tried this deck and went 2-5 first 2 matches were against mono red and lost horribly..
I just think there needs to be some sort of all-access format at all times. Maybe replay old standard blocks for nostalgia.
CGB playing with almost litterally no wincon again.
When I see belcher its turn 2 and activated the next turn or the same turn sometimes.
Beau... ti... ful!
CGB making control look easy like normal
Can you do the Sensei's+Bolas Citadel+Aetherflux combo in this format? Also a prison deck would be awesome

wow, thumbnail not clickbait
Is there room for Agent of Treachery in this format?
I hope this sticks around. Lots of fun
Win condition. Making people rage quit.
CGB ALL GOOD AND ALL, WE need your view on new t2 Set :)
What's our win con? Salt.
If I were your opponent, I would be really, really piss off.
teferi is a great wincon
I thought Yu-Gi-Oh had a bunch of hand traps😅 this is just nasty
Do you think that if enough of us tweet at woc demanding a subscription mtga they would listen?
Why are you not playing Disallow CGB?? It’s literally your favorite card. Been watching you since MTGA was released so I know.

Ah yes the Gandalf gameplay
Eyo, play the jace deck again in standard.
Personally, I would only allow the control and discard decks to be played against each other, because meeting them kills the happiness of the game.
This much fun should be illegal
The best way to improve Magic is to make it daily games played, not daily wins. Theres a perverse incentive to only craft and play the most efficient winning decks because thats how you get more cards to craft fun decks. You literally avoid crafting the fun decks because it is unsustainable.

It's definitely something that could use fixing. But, if it was just games played, people could just queue up and auto concede. Even if there was a turn requirement, people would find ways to game the system and avoid actually playing Magic just to get rewards. It's a problem I really have no idea how to solve while still giving rewards for free-to-plays in a reasonable manner.

Teferi ultimate
38 -3 CGB last 3 days or close to it
"It almost makes me wonder if magic would be better if it were free." The worst part is it doesn't even have to be free, just stop rewarding wins and reward playtime instead. I've been saying for years that the current design makes the game actively worse because free players are forced to spend their precious wildcards on already optimized aggro decks just to make sure they can keep playing the game without spending money. Also, even the rewards that aren't for wins (like daily challenges) heavily reward playing decks that dump their hand as fast as possible and win or lose fast. No wonder all the meta is aggro, playing control is actively punished.
Finally, the only acceptable deck in this format. I've been playing this and only this ever since it started. Thank you, CGB; I can't wait to modify mine to follow the true One in best-of-one.
how do you not concede after the teferi ultimate. this is disgusting.

I managed to win at least once after my opponent got the teferi emblem
Who is cool, me or your sponsors? I am confused by your outro. Just joking, mox field is pretty cool. I like it better than aetherhub
The format is great! But we prefer only the sickest quickest combos like the 2mana green ramp
Why do you never edit your face onto Teferi’s for the thumbnail? Asking for a friend.
I wouldn't play a deck in Hero of Dominaria era without a reasonable chance to cast The Immortal Sun. And since braindead no-non-tuck-wincon Teferi players are worse than braindead monored players, I just waited for them to tap out for a teferi when they had no other way to destroy enchantments and I could clearly spend 6 next turn. I prefer midrange and I hate Teferis. I don't know why WotC decided we always have to have at least one, maybe three in any meta.

Man wouldn’t MTG be fun if it were a 2 player game?
sorry, was only able to like the video once
Can't you just win against this deck by not playing the game, as CGB will draw some cards and thus deck himself first.
