This format is like "what if magic was Yugioh"
chain ash blossom
Except we have mulligans.
Only if all spells cost 0 I would accept "like it was Yugioh"
@@jjjj8644Channel literally turns it into Yugioh. First one to Mulligan to Channel+Charbelcher or Channel+Ulamog wins.
Basically modern lol
I would have been tempted to throw the match against the mill deck to see how they accelerate into their plan
My guess is reanimating Sphinx of the Lost Trove with Unburial Rites
This is the best format right now. Every video is super entertaining. Thanks for the enjoyable content!
Such a fun to see the CGB playing the busted deck in magic
Played this a ton yesterday, so sweet that the 11 thoughtseizes make it so your paradox-aetherflux life gain loop never bricks
I feel like I'd want a 1-of sweeper to fetch with D-Tutor over one of the Sphere/Star effects
EDIT: Nevermind, he mentioned it at the end
Mono red is actually pretty nasty in this format as well with 4 of Ragavan, Lightning Bolt, and Eidolon of the Great Revel. I even run Curse of Shaken Faith to punish storm type decks too (it also dumps on Channel for obvious reasons)
The 8-Blast list SaffronOlive tried recently works wonders with some Ragavans. It can even with through Ulamogs because the Channel player kindly dropped their life by 10 for you :)
@@the_r4ts I've killed channel players after they cast Ulamog about 4 times in a row. They can't even attack with it because the are dead on board, and if they go after the creatures I can lightning bolt or cast one of the haste creature off the top. Eidolon has also won me so many games because everyone is playing cheap spells
It's funny how the meta changed since this video -- or at least what I experienced. I faced a lot more aggro decks. Makes sense -- Channel isn't so good if your life total is low, and this deck, with it's damaging discard spells, does half the work of an aggro deck for it. So I changed it. Cut all the Mind Spikes, increased Inquisition to 4, added 3 Duress, cut 2 Thoughtseize, added 2 Collective Brutality. And I also found myself losing when I was able to get Paradox Engine on the field but had nothing to cast, so I added 4 Mishra's Bauble and cut the Chromatics down to 1 each. I also added Tormod's Crypt to the Sideboard, mostly to have another 0 cc artifact, but it also hit the aggro decks that use Dragon's Rage Channeler (is that the right name?), I cut Leveler and Bolas' Citadel, and added Staff of Domination (which I never used). And I cut two Buried Ruins, added one Inventor's Fair, and was down one land by accident, but I never noticed it. I still don't know what to do in the mirror -- whoever gets Karn out first wins.
Leyline of Sanctity would rock your world...
This is wild 😂 the card styles are indeed very stylish. Love it ❤
Shoutout my favourite Karn voice line from literally his first play in this video: "I AM KARN."
Dark Ritual needs Hypnotic Specter 🖤
Takobyte tried that, it was too fair. 😂
I'm really digging this no ban gameplay. These games are fun to watch.
At 35:05 we have a refence to the 2014 song "Bang Bang" by Jessie J (ft. Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj). Very nice, a "banger" indeed :D
Thanks for this epic deck reveal! 12 Thoughtsieize explains why you have a perfect winrate vs channel decks lol
so much more fun to watch than standard
I cast Wandering Emperor
nu uh @@shogert2370
I have multiple times been turn 0d Leyline of Santitied into turn 1 thoughtseize into turn 2 channel Eldrazi. Its a perfect hand, and somehow they have it often.
I played the same list as the last opponent, what you can pithing needle is oko for that deck
perfect deck for the cast X black spells quest.
im thinking the reanimate mill deck uses the sphinx that casts a spell from graveyard on etb
No bans? We need Mind Twist in this format.
Thanks for the videos CGB.
Fun content!
Loved this
You can pithing needle a channel ability, as Pithing Needle isn't exclusive to cards on the battlefield. Naming Boseiju would work as intended. They can't even use the Boseiju on the Needle.
I wouldn't think so. [[Pithing Needle]] affects activated abilities, where activated abilities are always written "[Cost]: [Effect.]" with a colon (602.1), and therefore [[Channel]] doesn't create an activated ability. Rather, it allows a Special Action (116.2c).
@@bukkfrigThis is the text box on Boseiju, copied straight from the card
{T}: Add {G}.
Channel - {1} {G}, Discard Boseiju, Who Endures: Destroy target artifact, enchantment, or nonbasic land an opponent controls. That player may search their library for a land card with a basic land type, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle. This ability costs {1} less to activate for each legendary creature you control.
Notice how there is a cost of 1G and discarding Boseiju, a COLON, and the ACTIVATED ABILITY of destroying an opponent's artifact, enchantment, or nonbasic land. Cycling and Channel abilities are activated abilities BECAUSE they have a cost to pay and a colon to separate the cost and the effect.
@@calebjohn9810he’s talking about Channel, the card. Not Boseiju’s Channel ability (which yes you can Pithing Needle)
Edit: Completely disregard my comment. I misread "Channel" as the card, not the ability on Boseiju. Sorry about that. Yes, you can name Boseiju to stop a person from channeling it.
Pithing Needle doesn't stop mana abilities, and I don't think Channel provides an activated ability either (and therefore wouldn't be a mana ability). Channel simply says you can pay 1 life at any time to add C to your mana pool, but it isn't formatted like an activated ability ("{cost}: {effect}") and doesn't seem to be granting an ability to anything.
To be honest, I'm not sure what kind of effect it is. It doesn't seem to be formatted like an activated ability, triggered ability, or replacement effect. Regardless, if it *is* an activated ability, it's a mana ability and therefore can't be stopped with Pithing Needle, assuming you can actually name the object that has the ability.
@@calebjohn9810 Yeah, I misinterpreted your comment. I thought we were talking about the card Channel primarily, and the Boseiju stuff was a separate topic, but now I see you were talking about the ability word _Channel_ . Carry on, then.
I run darksteel citadel in my sideboard with Karn because you never know when you are going to need to grab a land. You can put colored artifact lands in your side board but darksteel citadel enters untapped
Honest question here. You made a comment about why haven't they nerfed going first, and that made me wonder could they? What if people who went first could not play a spell on turn one but give them the ability to draw a card. I feel like it's the going first and playing a mana dork, or playing a hand-hate spell on turn one it really accentuates the advantage of going first. Perhaps if it was just the mana advantage gained by going first it would be a little more balanced?
CGB is doing the thing
Jurassic park reference, nice
Been playing a similar Azorious deck with karn getting out a gilded lotus then paradox engine / ominous traveler. I only have 3 copies of the one ring tho, and I'm running low on cards I can craft, think I should make a 4th one because it really feels like the one ring will and up on the ban list soon.
You don't need to craft any cards, this format is All-Access \o
love the content
Part 3 of normal historic videos being posted to the brawl playlist
My blue green test of talents channel deck does pretty well, you should try too cgb
Thanks CGB.
That was pretty sweet
3:05 hope that the channel players concede
Goddamnit, I can't believe that intro worked on me...
I'm suprised Time Warp hasn't shown up more in this format
Every time I watch CGB, I realize he still doesn't know how the ring works.
Thanks so much for your thorough explanation
4:40 I dont know if you misspoke, but naming Nexus of Fate doesnt do anything. You would essentially just waste a card.
I'd add tendrils of agony for a finish
Paradox Engine lovers, protectors against Channel, rejoice 🙏❤🔃
For some reason i thought you Covert Blue was actually going to fight against the CZcams Channel and mtg arena player Mono Black Magic LOL
No Bans Historic >>>>> Actual Historic.
This format is sick
Commenting for the algorithm
cgb coldplay cover incoming
Coldplay Go Blues?
Hello cgb
suprised theres no tendrils of agony
is no bans historic all magic thats ever been made legal
They have nerfed going first, it’s called best of 3
Tbh they should take guidance from Hearthstone and just give the player on the draw a treasure token already. It just works.
Having to make an entire deck to make sure a single card doesn’t get played is a good reason to not play that format
Anyone else been farming no bans with Rogues?
Am I wrong that going first used to be nerfed? That if you went first you didn't get your draw step? Not in arena, but in paper magic decades ago. If not then I am a terrible father and have taught my children incorrectly...
This is still how it works, but it's not enough a nerf since the first player still has a statistical advantage in Magic.
CGB made all these channel hate decks… Now they are running Leyline of Sancity… I would love to see how you are going to get around that one…
By countering the Channel, lol. The Channel decks can only add so many anti-anti meta cards before they dilute their list to the point of losing too much consistency, where other archetypes can afford to dilute their decks more than Channel can. And the other decks can keep up the arms race just as much as the Channel decks.
@@CanadianBaconPwnage counter 1 channel, get hit by another. Counter is never a solid option IMO
@@Turtleshellonno but then neither is discard. decks needs to deal with channel if you want success.
Ultimately it’s a free event with anything goes. If it became an actual event then of course bands would be needed.
@@dudeofvalor9294 The comment was poking fun a CGB.. I can get around any deck
dark rit and tutor is banned in historic. what do you suggest for replacement?
sixty ninth
how unbanned is everything? if its really everything does anyone expect to see necropotence, mox jet, sinkhole
Everything that's coded into Arena that can be acquired with Wildcards, that's what is meant by everything lol.
Clever girl lmao
That second opponent was boiled, mashed, and stuck in a stew.
If this video proves anything, it is that paradox engine should never have been banned.
WotC never banned Paradox Engine in any format they control the banlist. But some people who control the banlist of Commander think they know better than the game designers who created the game...
No outro!? Laaame...
He spent the last minute talking about the deck. What the heck do you want?
Resevoir decks are so boring playing against them and watch both boring
