the azorius game was really impressive, immaculate gameplay
it definitely was , but the opponent was pretty bad to be fair.
Mdr je m'attendais pas à te croiser ici le boss
Yo is that a wonder years pfp. Nice dude!
I heard an opponent once gg'd CovertGoBlue on turn 4. You don't even want to know what Mesa Falcon Guy did to that opponent.
Dont make him bring out his alter ego
I will GG you when it's apparent that I am going to lose, but I don't feel like snap conceding. Snap kept a 4 lander and hit 4 straight off the top. GG. I'm top decking already
@@matthewpatton9221GG is for winning, not losing. Oops is for losing.
Rebranding his fanclub for the Mesa Falcons is the best thing CGB ever did. Being called a Mesa Falcon warms my heart much more than a cool kid ever did.
I agree, but cool kids did a good job up to this point 😅
If it ever ends because of the branding, I'll miss the "You're Cool" at the end of those videos.
Cards been out for years but that control game is the only time ive ever even noticed that mech warfare increases artifacts damage not just red sources haha
This is why I play arena
Me too!! I was like "Nooo he's gonna block and CGB will lose his mites!!" but CGB never disappoints and knows his cards way better than I do xD
Watching CGB playing around control is always a pleasure, i learn so much!
“Worth it’s wait in gold” was a hard-hitting line haha
I swear CGB is the master of control. Give him any color and he'll find a way to make a control deck out of it 😂
Monogreen control when?
Looool
Whanna master of control? Return GWT (Guillaume Wafo-Tapa, for those who don't know and is a newbie in a world of magic)
Hey CGB! You’re one of the people who’ve gotten me into Standard and I just wanted to say thanks! I’ve been experimenting with this interesting little Azban control-ish/midrange deck with Insidious Roots and I’ve been having a blast!
Love the burn damage counter.
Love the Mesa Falcon screech 😅
Username checks out.
watching CGB perfectly play around UW control because he knows it so well is even more impressive then watching him pilot UW control
I made a deck like this but couldn't really pull it off. It's nice to see it actually do well.
Case of the Gateway Express is hilarious with Taii Wakeen. If the damage dealt equals the target's toughness (easy with Taii's ability), then it lets you draw a card for each of your creatures.
Yeah but in a deck where you run her you probably won't also have alot of creatures on board so the case feels kind of wasted.
Funny to watch CGB get enjoyment out of destroying a control player.
I mean beating an opponent that's favored against you is always fun.
@@SpiritOfLenin UW Control ain't favored against this deck.
Patient burn mage cgb is clinical
People that still want to race when they’re facing lethal… how do you remember to breathe?
Funniest shit is mono red running into my Obliterator with creatures and burn and pump spells, losing their whole board including the lands. Pikachu surprise face.
0:40 , yup we are indeed a bunch of mesa falcons, you big old zephyr spirit.
That was amazing, top notch plays and explanations CGB
the damage counter, like the lifegain counter from the other day, is an interesting and cool addition
I had an opponent last night gg me on turn 6 when they got a big board not knowing I just avariced an Overwhelming Forces. Cleared their board and won the game; felt amazing.
It's interesting to see burn re-emerge as a mid-range strategy.
I gotta say CGB for once you were able to play an aggro deck and have fun with it. Most of the time you were just kind of pushing through it for contents and I’m genuinely happy that you were able to find some middle ground. I think this might be one of my go to decks from now on. It seems to be really fun and thank you for sharing it with us.
Great deck! I having been playing a similar Boros Humans with Heartflame Dualist and Tail Wakeen and having good success. Extraction Specialist is an all star with their passive abilities.
Im just getting into Magic, but its crazy how Elder Scrolls Legends took so much "inspiration" from Magic TG. iykyk ESL was dope! so im straight up blown away by MTG arena this game is crazy good. Im currently back and forth between MTG arena and Yugioh md lol
23:58 is not the "make them have it" I was thinking of...
Really sweet deck overall. Love those grindy matchup against azorius control and how it demolishes mono red.
surprising interesting deck. Didn't expect the deck to be this fun
That second game vs control was so good
Is there anything more satisfying than Heartflame Duelist -> End the Festivities?
There's that red phyrexian dude who doubles non combat damage too guys.
I see youre playing my favorites colors sir. Welcome to the REAL Dojo!
I LOVE this deck and have been looking to make Taii Wakeem work
So my thought was (and hear me out)...
Could you fit in High Noon and have it make sense?
I think you would have to rework the deck quite a bit. I would either put it in the sideboard or add board wipes and a walker or two one or both chandras probably maybe a wandering emperor
I think playing high noon and treating it as a 5 mana burn spell would be alright, but the matchup it helps in (Boros Convoke and blue white control) are both already great matchups. It would be win more and hurt against other decks like golgari midrange.
For best of one, try out one or two if you want to use it but be aware that it will get got by get lost or other enchantment hate more often then a pure burn spell. It would be best as a 2-3 of in the sideboard for best of 3. At least, that’s my opinion without testing. Go for it though and tell us what you found out! 😊
No
Wow watching you toast that control deck was so suspenseful. I was gonna craft BW control but this looks way more fun!
That control opponent battle was fun to watch
Bro made me refind my love for Magic so a few days a go a spended a insane, crazy amount of money on cards.
This deck is a funny one with a very different play style. Its weakness is the manabase. Most of the cards have double-colored mana symbols. I can see the approach with Abraded Bluffs, but nevertheless you'll have many mulligans.
15:15 You don't have to discard to the Case of the Crimson Pulse in the first chapter to draw two cards. You could have played the land or the case the turn before.
38:42 Sacred fire is also two cards in one. 😂
29:23 i had so many match ups against uw control and is there the right way to achieve the victory, so much patience 😂
super cathartic second match
Now this looks like a burn deck that requires some solid skill to run. I love it
32:48 may be a bit meta-gamey, but I think I would play with fire their face here…? They didn’t have stick when you lightning strike’d their face.
Mr. CGB, may I request a vid on an Izzet deck? Any style. I've got one I cooked up that's sort of midrange control-ish, but I suffer from new player-itis because I just started two months ago and don't know enough about what's out there, so I think it could easily be improved.
It's hard to make mid-range work with all the board wipes. Most blue red decks go really fast with slickshot show off to try to kill the opponent before they can board wipe on turn five
@@GoldenSkeeter Fair. I haven't been super interested in the slickshot monstrous rage type of decks, though, so I was curious if there was anything I was overlooking. Basically just running a lot of negate/essence scatter/burn spells + haughty djinn and tolarian terror as a wincon, with some draw for vague consistency. It hasn't felt great, though, and looking through a bunch of cards is difficult.
Have you ever looked at scryfall? It takes a bit to learn your way around and all that but it’s an incredible resource.
@amyrlinn I mostly like to build with what I crack. I'm a wildcard hoarder. Draft tokens, too. I'll use them someday. There's a lot that you can do with Izzet right now. There's Arcane Bombardment nonsense, I think Niv is still legal, planeswalkers, dragons, there's some funky treasure options, copy big x burn, big ping tempo, artifacts (Jeskai artifacts sounds interesting)... There's probably more. Anything strike your fancy?
@@matthewpatton9221 I just don't know enough of the cards! I started playing on the exact day Thunder Junction came out, so I can name big pieces in decks, but the small filler stuff that makes the decks flow is the knowledge I'm missing.
Thank you for thr burn count editor!
Since the specifics of burn are always kinda important and a lot of staples are rotating out, I wonder if it's worth talking about what replaces them. Sadly this deck does get slightly worse - End the Festivities has its replacement in Tectonic Hazard, which doesnt hit planeswalkers, and Play with Fire just slips back to Shock. And of course nothing really subs in for Sacred Fire beyond the already 4-of Lightning Helix.
Ooh, this is like the second coming of Satanic Sligh. I'm enjoying it a lot, but I think the second basic plains needs to go for another red source. I keep getting bottlenecked on red and it's a huge pain.
Love being a Mesa Falcon (MF). This community is full of wonderful MFers
Need more Boros like this.
Getting mana flooded along with your opponent is lucky, so lucky it happens on a regular basis.
I was trying to make Boros Burn work a few months ago, but it never really worked, so I was excited to see the CGB had made a competitive Boros Burn deck. That was until I tried it myself. After 10 games I've only won one. It's too slow and runs out of gas, unless you pop off with virtue of courage, which is how I won the one game I won. Most games are just one for one removal with no value engine, which inevitably leads to a loss. Is there any trick to winning with this deck that I am missing?
It's, like, Counter-Burn Burn!
we all heard that sh*t bomb for the emperor
Seems wild to only run taii, its a great little card draw spell.
I'm no falcon... I'm a pteranodon!!! REEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH
I would love to try all these decks out but legendary wildcards are insane low. every set you need like 20 only for lands. magic is just not great for free to players.
Yea its a big reason I stopped playing too. Took ages to get my Golgari deck how I wanted it then a new set comes along and suddenly need way more rares and mythic etc. I get it's the game and economy and that's fine, but its not a wheel I wanna be on anymore
Second opponent is a huge baby
not the ragerope
Arcane bombardment MIA!
Boros bombardment is fun
@covertgoblue can you explian why you count lands from left to right like "1 1, 2, 1 , 2 2" then go back from right to left like "1, 2-3, 4-5-6" :P
The early gg get freaking wrecked
Disco inferno! (Burn, baby, burn)
CGB coming to my city!?! OOOOHHH I gotta find a way to get to CommandFest!!
A one mana field wipe that also gains life seems broken.
Yeah you just need 2 or 3 cards on the board it's called a combo
Brutal skill diff
when did this whole mesa falcon thing start? can anybody provide the title of video of the original source?
What a show of skill, I liked watching it
I like her, however in Mardu with Bartolomeo and Rakdos joins up ;)
can anyone explain why he played second warfare at 27:30? that seemed bad. my reasoning is 1. it brings you below 6 mana so you can't show lethal in gy and also 0 cards in hand gives the opponent so much more confidence.
I do not understand how the shuffler is either still bad or getting worse...in what world man
Bro i literally just played against this exact deck. Crazy lol
I love when you play against control, its so funny ho w you comment there misplays😂
He played an Emperor in second game not because you tapped out, but because he didn't wanted to discard a card (he had 8 in hand).
I so badly want monastery mebtor to be good in this kind of deck. But everytime i try it feels too slow
Showoff is such an opportunity cost card that I'm not surprised it's not present here. Plotting it on 2 is a do-nothing that turn hoping for an explosive turn down the line except your gameplan, at that point, is completely face-up. On 2 it's a 1/2 with Haste and flying. That's a stat line you love on 1 but hate on 2 and late in the game you don't have the spells to make Showoff explode which makes it worse than basically any other 2-drop you can play. I'm really not a believer in Showoff outside of the nut draw and that's not a place I want to be playing a card hoping for.
Damn... that was a perfect impersonation of me at the intro. But CGB.... I really did think you hate red burny strategies..
He hates brainless strategies. Classic burn is just "empty hand into opponent's face", and that is very much *not* how this deck plays.
LOL at the Stooges snore!
I. WANT. MORE.
Quite strong against aggro and control I guess. Gets probably overwhelmed by strong midrange and combo decks.
Mono red burn is better than Red Deck Wins ALL the way.
It requires more thought out plays (not *much* of those, mind, but more than "vomit hand on board and hope it works").
Please do a kaalia brawl deck 🙏
Someone tried to draw-go CGB. They really tried it.
I actually think the GG was because they had a horrible (all land?) hand at that moment...
cool lightning helix card style missing :(
Ahh man this shit is FUN TO PLAY!
Loving the hair ❤
Shouldn't you attack with a -2/1 mite. It still gives a poison counter doesn't it?
lt still needs to do combat damage to apply the poison counter, same thing goes for creatures with infect even if they don't actually apply that damage in the form of life points
No arcane bombardment?
First cause I can. First first for the Mesa falcons
This is why I don't play standard. Control is only beatable if they draw poorly or you get REALLY lucky against them
Can you make like 50 brawl videos for all the new MH3 commanders and cards? thaaaanks
Love when you explore less popular cards
omg yes boros burn ty!!
this was cool, burn baby burn
Maybe in some cultures gg means you want to have a good game? Like not that it was a good game but that you want to enjoy a good game.
Brother, I’ve never seen your hair this long. What phase is it in?
Is CGB going bald 😳
WHere is the decklist? wtf???
I'm gonna say it, shuffler rigged, same thing happened to me first 2 games, 11 and 12 lands in top 20. 3rd game though, perfect turn 4 win against boros convoke.
Let’s hide the hairline episode
lol just imagine roping after already stalling for a 20 min game
