@@FreeFromAllThings a couple of years ago, after Russia invaded Ukraine, he actually said he pays some guys in Ukraine to cut his videos together. I'm not sure how much he does versus how much they do.
Just realized that Get Lost on your own creature would add two artifacts to your board, which could be the difference for lethal. Random thought, but maybe useful for someone.
I played mono red slick shot against a deck like this recently. They absolutely shoved me in a locker, pulled me out of the locker a turn later and promptly game me a wedgie followed by a swirly.
Cgb hates transforming the smithy. He had 6 artifacts and had another smithy in hand and still said "nope." I transforming that as soon as it's safe to do so.
The answer is Temur Food with some of the big score cards. Teething Wurmlet, Tough Cookie, Goose Mother, Night of the Sweet's Revenge, Roxanne Starfall Savant, Ancient Cornucopia, Generous Plunderer, Goldvein Hydra, etc all supported by a doppelganger... Easily break the token limit.. and gain 400 life in a turn while showering the enemy with meteors.
@@zigzag2370 you want 15+ mana on turn 5? Yes, it has artifact tokens out of the butt. With Roxanne artifact tokens tap for double mana.. That means treasures, Roxanne's meteors, and food with Night of the Sweets Revenge. Throw in Synthesizer, Esoteric Duplicator, Portal to Phyrexia, whatever 3+ mana artifacts you could ever want.. even Thousand Moon Smithy is possible with all the treasures, meteors, and ancient cornucopias the deck can play, and you'll be happy. My favorite win con is Doppelgang'ing meteors for damage to the opponents face.. or making 5 copies of the opponents wincon and shoving it down their throat.
New cards I know, but with nothing else in hand you could cast, 6:34 you should have used Three steps ahead for UU1 counter & 2 Colorless to draw 2 and discard a card. Even if you discarded the legendary Thousand Moon smithy you could have used it to craft the Sawblades into a 5/5 beater. Side note, Its mostly a draft card but don't sleep on Braided net from Ixalan! 3 mana artifact that enters with 3 counters, tap remove a counter tap target non-land permanent. It is great for shutting down hastey bird wizards as well as putting a stop on opponent's upkeep and tapping down Planeswalkers! (Turns off all activated abilities). Finally for U1 you can exile it and another artifact (from board or graveyard) to craft it into Braided Quipu!. Which has 3U tap draw a card for each artifact you control! Really punishes your opponent's get losts! Also Celestus as a 1 of is a 3 mana Artifact! Finally (Sorry I get excited about Azorious Artifacts!) I would go a little harder on Anchorages & Mirrex! You can't underestimate the value of the extra artifacts with the crafting abilities + the Goloms from 1000 moon smithy Pow/Tuff is based off of total number of arti's. So any Treasures, Maps, or Mirrex's you have lying around are extra valuable mid-late game!
Please take the tone of this as excitement for the deck and not ...UM actually you should really do it my way! You are a far better player then I am without question! All the love an' support!
As as card game nerd who is a new mtg player, these musings are very interesting and entertaining. ( I know being praised by strangers on the internet doesnt matter but I wanted to encourage you)
Here's the logic: with Sheoldred on the board, drawing two would not only lose 4 life, but also give away the information that you don't have any instant speed removal (like, a second Spring-loaded Sawblades) in hand. The opponent would have attacked with Sheoldred and either cost the only creature to chump, or 4 more life.
if u wanna go "infinite": Copy Simulacrum with Three steps ahead, then playing worldwalker helm, that "copies target artefact copy" then you can make a simulacrum each turn for 2 mana only, that exponentially makes more tokens, leaving your mana free to cast removal/counter. in my deck I also play Barbed net + 1 or 2 proft's for no maximum hand size. I drew 30 cards in one trigger once and gave +29/29 to a flyver for lethal. So many mythics tho...
26:54 I'm genuinely curious, does this deck even play any 9 mana value cards? Because ill timed explosion doesn't count the total mana value of the discarded cards but rather the greatest mana value among the discarded cards. Perhaps they intended to cast 2 explosions in a row?
It's a bit greedy, but I love using Worldwake Helm in this build because you can use Three Steps Ahead to make a token of the Synthesizer or the Mightstone and then copy that token for two mana every turn.
24:34 You could also make a token copy of the Thousand Moons Smithy here instead of drawing two + discarding one, and that alongside the Synthesizers would give you 3 Karnstructs
In Brawl this is goddly in a Rusco deck focused on artifacts and control. Also very good with the blu/bla tezzeract cards and artifact lands like Fomori vault. I adore artifacts as a mechanic and am so excited this card is here! Though i wish i had more wildcards to build more
I think you run high noon in every white deck at this point. It completely crushes aggro decks. And it completely ruins the plot mechanic. Messes up most combo decks. As long as you run a way to sac it, either by running a bit of red or other outlet, theres little downside, unless you run into blue tempo, then its a bit sketch.
If you're a tempo deck running High Noon yourself it makes counterspells into extra turn spells (aside from upkeep draw untap land and combat, but your main phases basically don't exist if you can counter 1 spell a turn) Basically I'm saying that its a floodgate that makes it really, really easy to answer threats as it forces them to play at a slow pace that you can manage
Wonder if this deck has any legs in Alchemy. No March, and Urza, Mightstone, and Lockdown are rotating next set… not to mention The One Ring existing meaning everyone has artifact removal on hand.
24:32 Am I crazy or is this lethal? Choose copy (Smithy) instead of loot, make 3 6/6s. Then on your turn copy a Synthesizer for 3 more artifacts and attack for 9x3 = 27? Safe play or not, that's wild.
A best of 3 series might be good. Especially with the RC season coming, there surely is a demand for watching best of 3 standard with the meya decks and even more the off-meta decks that could be well positionned to win against the meta

Happy to see at 15:06 @DrRuckusMTG is still alive 🥳
The Big Score is standard legal, because it is the set of cards that were going to be another Aftermath set, but they backed out of that idea, and just merged it in.
CGB, aegis is a shield and the correct pronunciation is AY-JIS Correction: it’s an attribute of specific Greek and Roman gods represented by a goatskin shield and in modern use it is defined as backing or support
I loved the deck and hype for seeing it on bo3! Idk about eternal wanderer on bo1 though Also this deck will be way better against control when march rotates and everybody will be on 4x march
I've been playing azorius artifacts for years. It works better if you add Cephalopod Sentry and Static Net for removal. You also need all the cards that create artifact artifacts (Urza's command, Thousand Moon Smithy and Simulacrum Synthesizer). Urza Prince of Kroog is also must have for the +2/+2 and to copy your artifact artifacts for more artifact artifacts. This deck he's made is too control for my tastes. Except for Machine Over Matter, Urza's Command and Static Net my deck is almost all creatures or artifacts. You can also throw in Mirror Box.
Artifact shenanigans? You had me at a copy of Urza in the current standard. Quarter of the way into the video, hoping there's some Meld tears incoming... Edit: Moments later the meld comes against Ruckus? So conflicted... 😊Happy the meld came so fast. 😢Sad because I like Ruckus, he does good content.
Everyone, this is not CGB. It is Jace, the Mind Sculptor. Yes, I did hijack the CGB channel and account if you are asking why he was promoting Mono Red.
I'm kinda annoyed that the breaking news cards arent standard legal, I keep losing rare/mythic pulls for cards I can't play in standard from standard boosters.
Too bad when you hover on the 5/5 vehicle, the opponent can see what you're looking at and they can also figure out what you're planning for the on board combat trick.
Azorius artifacts was the first deck I crafted when the new set dropped. My version runs some different cards than this, like worldwaker helm. Really fun when it pops off but suffers against this hyper-aggro meta that usually kills you by turn 3 or 4 😪
Kinda confused why CGB didnt copy the backside of the bricks in Game 1 to get two tokens when he said he wanted another creature. Otherwise good games!
Just locked someone playing this deck out of the game with my stupid high noon + jin gitaxis jank pile. To my opponent if you are here: I'm so sorry. If it makes you feel better, that is only like the 2nd time my deck has worked.
must be nice to always have 4s of all the newest best cards... on the other hand it must be expensive as well.. but ya, must stay ahead of the competiton.. i just stay here with my f2p pile of leftovers xD

You can't just give impossible tasks like that!
"I am Urza, Planeswalker" -Urza, Planeswalker
Just realized that Get Lost on your own creature would add two artifacts to your board, which could be the difference for lethal. Random thought, but maybe useful for someone.
It's a great point!
Nice catch. Stuff like that is why Karnstruct tokens are so sick. They have lots of sneaky/surprising ways to grow.
another point built on that: Urza can make upwards of four artifact creatures. Perfect for telling them to get lost :)
CGB pronouncing Aegis as EyeGeese was beautiful
Funninly enough, that's a lot closer to the correct Greek pronounciation than the typical "ages" is

at least 2

Hey, a Dr. Ruckus appearance! I miss his videos. Hopefully he comes back some day.
New Cgb video right in the morning, now thats a good way to start the day
I'm starting to think you're not an illusion created by the machines...

I have found High Noon to be a bit of a trap in Bo1 against many decks.
Doesn’t it require red in the deck?
@@craigandrews7544 not unless you're playing commander, you can legally put it in any deck you want
I've actually been playing this deck since LCI and Simulacrum makes it so much more viable
CGBot: It's an artifact deck!
Me: He's gonna meld at least once
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE THIS DECK FOR EVER THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING IT TOGETHER CGB YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
Also, thoughts on braided net?
It's great! But not so good against control though can shit down planes walkers. And draw cards. Def side board option in BO3
Glad I got my simulacrum synthesizer when I did. Geez
Old intro is back and i like it. Hyped to see CGB version of blue white artifacts
Alchemy has a card called reflection net that has the same effect as aegis but you can flash it in. It's also an artifact
Wonder if this deck has any legs in Alchemy. No March, and Urza, Mightstone, and Lockdown are rotating next set… not to mention The One Ring existing meaning everyone has artifact removal on hand.
Aegis is pronounced "ee·jiss" :D
The Aegis (pronounced ee-jiss) is a shield in Greek mythology made with Medusa's head and wielded by Athena, but aegis can refer to any shield ^^
Man I was pumped to try this out and I gotta say I got absolutely dumpstered every single game.
The red deck is so freaking busted atm
24:32 Am I crazy or is this lethal?
Choose copy (Smithy) instead of loot, make 3 6/6s.
Then on your turn copy a Synthesizer for 3 more artifacts and attack for 9x3 = 27?
Safe play or not, that's wild.
No cryptic coat?
is there a way to message directly for advice? I am sure you get this quite often but was curious is all
I really like the synergy of this deck but I wonder how well it fairs in ranked standard. I can craft 1 deck and wanna be careful lol
A best of 3 series might be good. Especially with the RC season coming, there surely is a demand for watching best of 3 standard with the meya decks and even more the off-meta decks that could be well positionned to win against the meta

Pretty sure it's pronounced ee-jiss
Azorious artifacts almost makes me want to get back into MtG.
But then I realized I'd probably have to grind mono-red to get the cards
Wh would the big score not be Standart legal? It's the aftermath set for thunders and aftermath was Standart Legal the last time too
That first mono black deck was nothing but haymakers and bats.
The design concept of the aegis is kinda like the alchemy card Reflection Net.
CGB, aegis is a shield and the correct pronunciation is AY-JIS
Correction: it’s an attribute of specific Greek and Roman gods represented by a goatskin shield and in modern use it is defined as backing or support
I CALLED IT!
I SPOKE ON THE SYNTHESIZER IN THE STREAM A FEW DAYS AGO
Ouch I just saw the paper price of that Simulacrum! Ugh I wannit!
This deck speaks to me 🤩🤩
Yes yes nothing better than melding Urza or his brother. So satisfying
I loved the deck and hype for seeing it on bo3!
Idk about eternal wanderer on bo1 though
Also this deck will be way better against control when march rotates and everybody will be on 4x march
Okay now im confused: no cryptic coat?
Wouldn't recurring cryptic coat be good in this?
PLEASE… CGB… YOU KNOW WE NEED THE NEW HISTORIC BRAWL DECKS
Everything tends to work out in mono red’s favor

"eejis", CGB. It's from Greek mythology, the shield of Zeus. It wasn't the understudy writers from wotc who came up with the word "Aegis"
CGB please open your vault....my OCD.
First game you had two mana open and didn't draw two with three steps ahead
Why did the ai say its not me if its not cgb?
