Funny, you'd think by now CGB would have learned to always expect a Jin-Gitaxias to come out of a random deck
I have not seen the video yet, but CGB should pin this comment so that it’s here to give everyone anticipation.
1 is predictable. But 3 Jins??
Scarred for life…. Damn Prismatic Bridge……
@@bloodwire7152CGB didn't know about second Jin
8:36 CGB: "How many praetors do you have?" OPP: "ALL OF THEM!" 😂
Poor Ebon Praetor getting left out
8:42 😱 the eldrazi stood no chance against the phyrexians
But, it took ALL of phyrexia working together to defeat the threat of the presence of a single eldrazi.
Hit for 99!
@@Plexiux Teamwork makes the dreamwork! Glad they got Urabrask back onside!
I like the Golgari version of this deck for two reasons
1) Nothing feels more in the spirit of this event than running 4 Channels, 4 Demonic Tutors, and 4 Dark Rituals.
2) Phyrexian Fleshgorger can be both cheated out early with Channel or cast normally if your combo gets pulled apart. It's especially good in the mirror where they can't pay the ward to exile it with Ulamog, and it has menace to get past the indestructible creature. The lifelink has even let me have games where I've Channeled twice.
Sick mindset
Golgari can also run Thoughtsieze to discard the opponent's Channel...
🤌
On an imaginative level i always imagine non-banned formats like this as being two wizards dueling each other using the most forsaken/evil of spells because of just how dangerous they are to wield to those untrained and the sheer apocalyptic destruction they would bring if unleashed. If they make a format like this it should be called "Forbidden."
Like the unforgivable spells in Harry Potter. You can do cast them, but oh, the consequences...
Also needs no 4x limit per card
40 lighting bolts 20 montains most popular deck
40 lightning bolts 20 black lotuses (lot…i?)
I need a format where it's *only* banned cards. You want to use something that's merely good? Out of luck. It has to be terribly, terribly broken to even make it into your deck.
I would absolutely *love* more events like this in the future. Running altered banlists or other wacky rules while allowing players without huge collections to participate. It’s a fun way to spice up the late stage of an expansion while also letting players experiment with decks they may have only heard of from other people.
One of the best decks against Channel are the various Grixis variants. Thoughtseize, Inqusition of Kozilek, and Spellpierce do a lot of leg work of course, but getting to play Bolts, Ragavan, and Mishra's Bauble are nice too. I really enjoy the Lurrus/Death's Shadow lists. I've won plenty of games keeping 1 landers, on the draw or play. And weirdly, lost a lot of games because of my own bad choices that I could have sequenced better to win: not as many non-games as you'd expect.
8:42 - That "oh sh**" look of surprise followed by a squeaked "They all have haste!" is an appropriate reaction.
When a guy shows up with all his praetor buddies and outplays you.
This format has been so fun for the few hours I've played it just to try out stuff ive never been able to play before because the cards were banned and I didn't own them. Other fun decks to try are Madness with Hollow One, faithless looting, ragavan and lightning bolt, and also rakdos storm with dark ritual and demonic tutor
This is the closest arena has ever been to vintage and legacy.
Idk, that "magic as Intended" april fools mode from a few years ago gives it some competition lol
*sigh Legenvd already did a Channel Eldrazi, jk his had more colors.
8:41, whoa hahahahah, that wasn’t Elesh Norn Grand Cenobite, that Allosaurus Shepard just had a heart attack.
Happy birthday!
Man, channel brings me back. Mono green deck with turn 2 channel fireball cast using the red mana from tinder wall.
So happy to see you play this crazy format! Not a Channel enjoyer but cant wait to see the next ones! Cheers
Oh no, forgot to wish CGB a happy birthday yesterday… guess I’m dead to him. What ever will I do? Guess I’ll go play mono red on ladder.
This is a great event, really hope they do more of these
Field of the dead bant flavor beats this most games. Uro, oko, bounce spells. Once they pop that's all they have. Use the 5 drop green sorcery that tutors 2 deserts aka field of the dead. Then scapeshift. You can also run lil tef. Deck is the nuts and if you make it to turn 4 you win.
Can I just say thank you, Arena! CGB looks so happy with this queue, and my god, it's fun to watch!
Happy Birthday, this was great, much better than another standard video. I had so much fun watching this insanity, i'm going to try to play in this. I'd never heard of this format and I will say I was playing channel and lightning bolts back in revised too! XD
uploaded just as i finished work today :D
Got first comment too, nice
still convinced that casting a channeled Banefire is kewler than emrakuul
Nah channel realmbreaker better
Earliest T3 with 2 green and a red source as well as channel and banefire in Hand...(maybe turn to 2 with a T1 mana maker) needs a lot of luck
I saw this on the birthday stream! I hope you had a good anniversary of life, cgb!
I actually beat a Channel deck with my Persistent Petitioners deck 12 hours before the event ended. I went first, dropped a petitioner on turn 2. My opponent dropped Hope of Ghirapur turn 1, then Channel and Ulamog on turn 2 and exiled my 2 lands. Luckily, I had a 3rd land and Unsummoned the Ulamog turn 3 and pinged him for 1 damage. He then played Demonic Tutor, Channeled again and paid 4 life for Karn, grabbed Shadowspear, but couldn't equip it until next turn. I just pinged him every turn and Unsummoned Hope of Ghirapur after it was equipped. He then grabbed The One Ring but didn't play it, and finally conceded when he was down to 2 life.
I feel that your audience that loves mono red must be loving this video.
Okay. Why is this the best and funniest thing I’ve ever seen 🤣
The charbelcher deck going around is really good as well
I haven't run into that one yet.
Man this format is so fun
Belated happy birthday. A hundred years CGB 🥂
happy birthday CGB!! I may be dead to you, but you didn't know me anyways lol
I like the turn 2 wins speed to get daily wins. Not spending 2 hrs a day on the game is nice when you have other things to do. I splashed black to stop others who go first and it didn't miss a beat. Arena hates me though so my win rate is more like 35% :-P
I used the no-ban historic event to try out standard legal decks with cards that I wanted but didn't have. So obviously my deck would be very weak in comparison to those banned-card focused decks. I got up against one who kept copying a spell that would give an extra turn. Then at some point when I had only 2 lifes left, and the opponent could finish me off and win, he/she instead decided to make infinite turns. Opponent having a card to put cards from graveyard back to the library, which was copied as well. And the copy spells got copied 😂
Up until that match I had a principle of never reciding a match (I only started playing mtg 3 weeks ago). But after about half and hour with the opponent having 53 turns in que, I then decided to recide.
And everytime an Opponent would cast Ulamog in other matches, I would recide as well. I didn't use the format for it's intented use, so that's on me 😅
It would be truly interesting to see how the meta would form itself if there was a format like this
I'd like to imagine it becomes like that one video where the guy runs all the chancellors of the dross to win turn 0, where it breeds all these weird kooky decks.😊

I had a deck that used Channel, Order of the Ebon Hand, & Drain Life. I think I wrote a letter to Scrye Magazine about it & they printed it…
Hello CGB it's Domhnall here( I live in France), It was such an honour to play against you!
The moment I saw the "CovertGoBlue" it freaking gave me chills and I couldn't stop throwing "Hello" "Nice" and emotes during your Mulligan. I did play the game carefully and got lucky going first on that thoughtseize.
I have been playing Magic for 2 yrs around the time seeing you blinked 4 Yorions in standard, I got inspired and thankful for your beloved skynoodle which opened a wonderful magical world for me through the stressful time during curfew.
Thank you for all, love your cool love your confidence love your mind game love your zen( "CGB" does look like a praying monk doesn't it? ;).At last form the bottom of my heart wish you a happy birthday!
Don
This is the type of degeneracy, I love CGB!
Happy Birthday and thx for the cool content :)
I wanna see a historic brawl werewolf/wolf deck now that there's a decent amount of good ones on arena
8:30 "How many do they have?"
lmao, like... all of them
This was WILD
I played a deck like this but in golgari so i have access to 4 demonic tutors and dark ritual for a turn 1 tutor into channel if needed. The left over floating 1 was used for thought seize or inquesition of Kozilek
Ngl the praetors deck was ingenious and surprising to see something a bit different
CGB, we may not need to know how old you are but I'd bet a dollar it's younger than my near four and a half decades.
Happy Birthday. Hopefully you're dodging the storms right now.
The meta for this format has been interesting. Rock hard control, Channel Eldrazi, and Rakdos Ragavan kill you ASAP seem to be the big three contenders so far.
I've been trying to modify the Channel deck to combo kill with Aetherflux Reservoir the turn you Channel to improve the winrate. The issue, naturally, is that you need more pieces. Even with Demonic Tutor, it's not consistent enough with the variations I've tried. We'll see with some time. I'd love to see your take on it in the format. EDIT: Well. Looks like people already figured it out by doing Realmbreaker things. Plus your Karn lock is very close.
Also, while it's almost impossible to pull off and not reliable at all, you can T1 Channel with Dark Ritual and Chromatic Orrery. It's not good. At all. But it's fun when you do it.
Already got an aetherflux list, most consistently wins on turn 3, but with a channel in opening hand it's still a turn 2 kill. I've given up on trying to tech for channel mirrors, it's almost just a coin flip on who goes first. If they get Emmie then they can use your channel to kill you on the spot. I'll pass ya the list:
Deck
4 Demonic Tutor (STA) 27
4 Channel (STA) 50
4 Llanowar Wastes (BRO) 264
3 Staff of Compleation (ONE) 242
3 Guild Globe (WAR) 239
2 Chromatic Sphere (JMP) 462
4 Chromatic Star (BRR) 11
4 Lembas (LTR) 243
3 Paradox Engine (KLR) 259
4 Karn, the Great Creator (WAR) 1
3 The One Ring (LTR) 246
3 Aetherflux Reservoir (KLR) 217
3 Mystic Forge (M20) 233
4 Blooming Marsh (KLR) 280
4 Forest (THB) 254
4 Darkbore Pathway (KHM) 254
4 Overgrown Tomb (GRN) 253
Sideboard
1 Paradox Engine (KLR) 259
1 The One Ring (LTR) 246
1 Aetherflux Reservoir (KLR) 217
1 Staff of Compleation (ONE) 242
1 Meteor Golem (HBG) 260
1 Portal to Phyrexia (BRO) 240
The 1 mana eggs have really gotten the consistency up and they're actually important for being able to cast Tutors that get stuck in your hand. The Guild Globes also let you cast them. Meteor Golem is for any weird match up or if opponent gets a Karn down. Portal is for Eldrazi when they don't win immediately and you can't for some reason combo off. Staff of Completion is actually a house in this deck and can often times be the better pick out of the board besides the one ring since you can untap it without Paradox Engine.
The pro of this deck is that the turn you channel you almost always win. And not making opponent conceded either. Fiddled around with the list for a few hours and it did work. Good win rate, just not against mirror. The draw back of the Eldrazi is if you get a bad draw you can get got by a swords to plowshares or other removal. This deck gets around that. The only draw back I've had is that my kills are some times just a turn too late in mirror.
8:44 friggin' wut?!?!?! Nahhhhh. 😂
Casual mashing of one's face with every Praetor in the frickin' game: 9:22
Edit: and the Shepherd just went and unexisted itself from the shock of seeing what's coming.
Haven't checked in for a bit, then I show up and see this absolute chaos pile.
preator bomb realmbreaker channel has to be the coolest deck ive seen for any format
Happy birthday CGB, greetings from Dublin.
happy birthday to you CGB!
You CAN cast Channel on T1. Play an Island. Cast Tormod's Crypt - counter it with An Offer you Cast Refuse, giving you two treasures. Cast Channel. Let the good times roll.
I've been playing turbo nexus of fate with oko in this format
It's been great
Wow that realm tree variation was wild!!!
Happy Birthday Daniel! 🎉🎉🎉
Happy belated birthday! Favorite streamer
I just did the math Covert Go BLue is 73 years old wow
also happy birthday 74 is a good age
Happy birthday dude!
Even though I'm dead to you, Happy Birthday!
This deck is absolutely opponent balls destruction 👍If you ask Wizard of the coast about what they smoked while creating such cards (we see what would happen to the game without bans)))
Happy Birthday! You share the same as one of my good friends
HAPPY BDAY CGB 🎉
Happy birthday CGB!
i have a question , i you have protection from everything,
does it mean ulamog can't attack ? you'd still need to sac permanents right ? or doesnt he have annihilator
omg the praetors i thought it was a joke literally brought out everything hahahaha
The second loss you should have gone for the coating and blown up the lands, you had the extra Karn in hand and they were tapped out to counter.
DAAAAAAAAAAMN , tha thougthseize was GOLD!!!
Most Happy Birthday CGB, you're the CGBest
🎉Happy Birthday 🎉 Your go!
9:52 "Puny god..."
More decks!!!! Btw Happy Birthday 🎉 (a little late :] )
Feliz cumpleaños!!!!!!! El mejor CGB del internet!!!!
happy birthday man! don’t worry you almost look like you are not 40+
Had some fun post stream with this deck. Very Nice
Do they have the turn 1 Channel Drain Life kill option that was available back in the day?
This No Bans thing is so fun, standard is a snooze fest til WOE and the fact that this event goes on til then is amazing.
Happy late birthday CGB! Thank you for everything you do, you're amazing
Happy Birthday CGB
Happy (real) birthday again CGB.
Happy birthday! Hope it's a good one! GG's!
There's some craziness that shouldn't ever be legal in Historic generally but I've been having a lot of fun with a Grixis deck that goes really long and is structured to just hose the go-for-it turn 2 combo wins while having really solid go-long support.
Happy Birthday CGB!!!
happy britheady cgb!
3rd game was awesome
Thougtseize, Inquisition and Duress are the MVPs in this format
Dread Fugue shouldn't be underrated.
Happy birthday CGB
Praetor-Guy was amazing :D
Thx for the daily smile CGB lovz you
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
The first couple days I had a 90% win rate against channel. I didn't even purposely build a deck or meta game for the the format, I basically added counterspell and Memory Lapse to a Historic deck I've been playing. By the weekend the channel decks got wise to being blown out by thoughtseize and inquisition of Kozilek and started adding themselves.
Happy Birthday!
when you cast ulamog you can target the same thing twice
Tibalt’s Trickery on steroids.
gotta love the shuffler
In no bans historic, why not run Emrakul, the Aeons Thorn? its not counterable, you get an extra turn, and annihilator at round 2 means they're never getting a board - AND it has protection from coloured spells.
That first one was rough 😮
That Praetor deck! 🤣
Biuon Compleanno CGB!
Happy b day man😊
Happy birthday!
What is the avatar of the opponent at 17:56?
I was gonna say. "Some of those are banned cards though?" Then I realized it's no Bans historic.
