I just want to drop off here that blazing specter was an amazing card... I'd also like to add that black red rankle is Magnificent. Rankle with an ember cleave is absolutely orgasmic
Castle Garenbrig didn't work with preserver because it's a triggered ability and the castle can only be used to activate abilities. I made the same mistake on my first day playing with preserver.
quick note on Castle Garenbrig and Wildborn Preserver. Preserver is a triggered ability and Garenbrig only lets you spend the mana on casting creature spells or activating creature abilities.
I really love mono black right now and it's inspired to drop some money and get this deck popping. I don't really care for the Spawn of Mayhem or Knight of the Ebon Legion or the Rotting Regisaur for that matter because of how it makes me discard and it doesn't hit often. This so far is mono black good stuff. I really like Ayara and was my main inspiration for the playing mono black. She is amazing with Cauldron Familiar and Witch's Oven. The sac outlet it provides with a return is great in general to avoid certain removal scenarios where our creature would be exiled etc or helps make chump blocking effective. With Midnight Reaper out the card draw with reoccuring the Cat is really helpful. Rankle is the icing on the cake essentially. I have been fairly successful with Piper of the Swarm and Burglar Rats as other 2 drop slots. Heraldic Banner works well in this deck you can consider that it costs 2 since you can immediately tap it for a black mana afterward and using multiple is always fun. It makes Rankle better and your Murderous Riders and stuff better blockers with life link. I have been subbing out a bunch of stuff here and there finding my preferred playstyle. I even tried going Rakdos for Mad Ratter. I don't know why we don't play more Witch's COttage... you can bring Rankle back tap Ayara mainphase and draw him back or etc. I really do like Order of Midnight and through my chiseling I may include some. I also use Witch's Vengeance which is great against tokens, knights, elementals etc and a 3 mana -3/-3 isn't stupid but it can get very lucky.
Would love to see a tech on the esper stacks deck in standard with dance of the manse. Have had a ton of fun playing it and would love to see your take on it.
Can you make a standard dredge deck again? The cards are still there narcomeba, creeping chill, arclight Phoenix and now with ToE, we get the merfolk that mills, witch's oven and Feasting troll king!
For real, it gains life vs aggro, removes Questing Beast vs. midrange, and flashes in on end step vs control. Also pairs well with Murderous Rider's instant speed.
The ∞ (infinity) cards event on MTGA is great. I streamed playing 4x Rankle in my Free-to-Play account today, and practice matches are still going until tomorrow morning. Still don't know how to go 11-1 or 12-0 for a complete set when the real ∞ event starts Saturday.
Why Castle Garenbrig + Wildborn Preserver failed: Castle says cast or activated abilities. Preserver is a triggered ability with a cost. That mana could not go into Preserver.
Know one has said it but. Eebon-ee and Ee-vor-ee work together in perfect legion-ee side by side on my battlefield with Nathan oh Lord swing for lethal!
Sweet! Too bad Spawn of M got lit and budget flew out of the window :D Can't wait for possible Emry Ascendancy in modern. Maybe in few weeks, after the first burst of new standard?
No cat plus oven combo when playing mono black? Those 2 1 drops can often just win the game and take no more mana output and blanks any removal, especially adventure removal. In an Orzovh version just splashing for celebrant on 2 mana vs 13 lands and 8 permanents from reef shenanigans just off those cards. Also cat plus oven makes regisaur an extremely embarrassing card, a 7/7 that makes them hellbent and when it attacks it does nothing and you get drained for 1 to boot.
I like the Cat / Oven combo, but I think it's a bit slow for what this deck is trying to do (basically curve out with powerful threats and finish things off with Rankle).
Imo the Oko deck is still better. If they're on the play its extremely difficult to beat gilded goose into Oko, and then if they have Questing beast next turn its almost impossible to catch back up.
Don’t typically comment on these videos. But am really disappointed that this is not being shown in a bo3 format since it has standard in the title of the video. Should really be called bo1 since that is what it is.
Hey Seth can you maybe try this weird jank Simic Ascendancy deck out during an Against the Odds video? I don't know if it needs refining or not. Thanks! Deck: www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/2308783?view_mode_override=cheapest#paper
Budget is weird currently. Decks that are cheap in paper are super expensive on Arena, so it makes "budget" a tricky term (that mostly depends on where you play your Magic).
Yeah, prices got wrecked this week. I thought I was the only on the mono-black plan, but a lot of people figured it out between when I recorded and when the video went live :(
He did, right near the beginning of the intro: it was either Best of 1 or nothing, because his only access to Throne of Eldraine Standard in time to post it for this video slot was a Best of 1 event.
The second opponent on Simic Flash was really bad. I have no clue why he stole the knight of the ebon legion instead of a spawn and wasn’t making your spawns 3/3 elks. He totally would have won if he played properly.
Couldn't have stolen the spawn as it's only for creatures with power 3, however you are right about the turning them into non flying 3/. That probs would have been the play
Sorry, best of one was the only option for this episode since it was recorded during the early access day and that's the only format available. Best of three will return like normal next week.
Oh my god Oko is literally three letters Seth
Yea, but 33% mispronunciation rate seems right on par :P Even a little low maybe.
Does he mispronounce so many words on purpose? Is it a bit?
@@jonathana6298 I'm starting to think he does it on purpose. It is very annoying but he is so charasmatic, I tend to ignore it.
in his defense, it's a proper noun with two pronounce vowels that could either be hard or soft. "ah-koh" "oh-koh" "oh-kah" "ah-kah"
It's two letters even, with one used twice
Everyone: OKO IS SO BUSTED
Seth: RANKLE
You should make a rankle blue/black deck with extra turn spells and call it "a wrankle in time"
*Uses Rankle as literally a 4-mana 3/3 flying + haste french vanilla beater*
"THIS IS THE POWER OF THE RANKS"
Castle Garenbrig only works on activated abilities, the preserver has a triggered ability.
It's Oko, not Oku, lol.
One of my friends keep calling Oko Aku.
This deck has already increased by $50
I got an Oku and an Aria four minutes into the game. STANDARD IS BACK BABY!

I'm excited for Rankle. He has looked great in every match I've seen so far.
Willdborn Preserver's pump is a triggered ability, Castle Garenbrig's mana only works for activated abilities.
What's so hard about Oko and Ayara? Very simple names. What are Okus and Arias?
My question is can I squeeze a Questing Beast into this deck
I just want to drop off here that blazing specter was an amazing card... I'd also like to add that black red rankle is Magnificent.
Rankle with an ember cleave is absolutely orgasmic
Nice budget deck that contains almost only rares and mythics apart from the basics 2 creatures and a couple of spells...
Yeah, was looking for something black I could get for MTGA without using too many rare wildcards as I'm pretty much out. This wasn't it.
Budget Magic usually isn't about Arena. It's usually about paper's cost.
Came here from Merchant's Rankle vids! Love your take too, Seth.
Thanks!
Merchant sniffs hobo gooch tho
nice to see Arya got a card, i was afraid they were only gonna print Hot Pie as a food token
The pie food token is actually Walder Frey's sons.
Castle Garenbrig didn't work with preserver because it's a triggered ability and the castle can only be used to activate abilities. I made the same mistake on my first day playing with preserver.
Oh, good call.

Caught this early
Got Em
Someone pulled a foil rankle at my prerelease this weekend
I did as well
I want to see Dragon God deck or Esper Prison deck in standard. Both seem viable right now.
Got Rekted by Rankle at pre release. One guy opened up 2 of them and three of the midnight cards that adventures to put it back in hand.
Castle didn't work with Wildborn Preserver cuz that's a triggered ability not an activated ability ("Whenever another non-human... you may pay x").

Black lance paragon is such a slept on 2 drop i recommend trying it, its been an mvp in golgari for me
For real, it gains life vs aggro, removes Questing Beast vs. midrange, and flashes in on end step vs control. Also pairs well with Murderous Rider's instant speed.
I have a playset in my aggro list. People are straight up ignoring it. Crazy to me!
When we say "budget" are we referring to paper Magic or Arena Magic? Because I think my definition of budget may be different then yours, Seth
Budget Magic has always been paper prices, sadly some of the decks aren't that cheap on Arena, since on Arena everything costs the same :(
MTGGoldfish has a separate series on low-rarity Arena decks.
The most expesive card in the deck is 10 dolars, for me thats budget
The ∞ (infinity) cards event on MTGA is great. I streamed playing 4x Rankle in my Free-to-Play account today, and practice matches are still going until tomorrow morning. Still don't know how to go 11-1 or 12-0 for a complete set when the real ∞ event starts Saturday.

Seth, do you think Awaken the Erstwhile and Bag of Holding could be cool?
Also Okoo
@@derincaglayan6300 Oko is the most powerful card in the set by a LONG way
thanks man, nice deck! I finally got a deck to give me solid wins ... in mtga. Funny thing is, ranked is all best of 3 atm
The main problem with the Oko deck is that you really need him to hit the board and stay for a turn or three.
Seth can you build a budget version of elementals ball lighting tribal?
Why would you play murder over murderous rider? I know that it costs 2 life but that often doesn’t matter too much
Budget.
MTGGoldfish Ah yeah woops
What's "Oku"?
Upvote for the Cake shirt
Looks like a rly reasonable monoblack agro deck.
Sweet! Too bad Spawn of M got lit and budget flew out of the window :D Can't wait for possible Emry Ascendancy in modern. Maybe in few weeks, after the first burst of new standard?
Was that LVD at 25:40?
I didn't realize sultai was supposed to be strong. I've beaten every sultai deck I've come across with my jund walkers.
Maybe Jund Walkers is why :)
Yea, its not as strong as they think.
27:14 wrong order! drill bit first, dude! That way you can get a card and a land potentially
Oh-Koh, Ho-Gaak-field of Rew-In, Ka-lee-Tahs lets do it together now!!!

Budget purposes. Rider is really expensive.

Imo the Oko deck is still better. If they're on the play its extremely difficult to beat gilded goose into Oko, and then if they have Questing beast next turn its almost impossible to catch back up.
Gilded Goose into Oko is certainly one of the scariest starts in Standard, agreed.
I almost beat Rankle with my Simic midrange and they topped decked Rankle turn before I would have won. smh lol mono black is definitely nice!
20:27 what did you call me?
You should name the deck "Rankle Files" (Rank and files)
Do you play unranked?
Just ranked, or occasionally tournaments/events. I don't really ever play unranked.
Give 'em the old rankle dankle

@@Vindarr you know, I tried to feel smart and now I feel attacked

Budget?
Budget in paper, not on arena
Yeah, Budget Magic has always been paper prices, but maybe we should adjust.
