    43:00 I’ll bite. Isn’t it better to block gutterbones with the unused grim initiate since it has first strike? It would kill the gutterbones without dying itself. So it blocks 2 damage then you take 1 from cruel celebrant. That’s a net of +1 bringing your life total down to 2 instead of 1. Plus he now has one less creature on the board.
    Ultimately it doesn’t appear like it would have changed much but that action would net (compared to what did happen)
    You: +1hp
    Opponent: -1hp, +1 card in hand, -1 creature on board
    Edit: actually the opponent has a net 0hp, reaper deals one but celebrant heals one.

      @miot22 5 років тому +1

      To whoever replied to my comment and (maybe) deleted it and any future readers.
      As I said, grim initiate has first strike. So it will deal 1 lethal damage to the 2/1 gutterbones before it has a chance to assign combat damage. Grim initiate survives and doesn’t spawn a 2/2 black zombie token replacement.
      The only drawback for taking this action is whether or not the one card reaper draws for the opponent alters the game before cgb scoops on his next turn upon failing to draw a win con.

    43:08 second grim initiate could have blocked the gutterbones, cleared it off the board and taken 1 instead of 2, but wouldn't change the outcome otherwise. And I only got that after pausing when you challenged us and taking my time, if I was in your position i 100% would have missed much more than you did, assumed lethal and conceded. You're too modest, you do really well with red and I learn a lot from you!

    Hey CGB. I've been having a blast with your Izzet Proliferate deck in Historic. Sulfer Falls and Pirates Pillage are the only actually historic cards besides Magister's Scepter in the side for the intimate turn meme but no one sits around long enough for that. I "went off" in 7 out of 10 games this afternoon. If standard gets you down historic is full of jank fun...though no one hangs around very long once the engine gets going. (We need the option to let Sparky take over after an opponent concedes like Duels did.)

  • @feltotem1521
    @feltotem1521 5 років тому +1

    Hey CGB sorry to hear you are getting frustrated with this archetype. As a guy who regularly plays both red and control I would like to offer some observations.
    when you play control and you are winning, the game goes longer because opponent doesn't realise its time to scoop, when you are winning with red the opponent concedes before you get to do cool stuff like see your spitfire get huge. So from a fun standpoint red decks don't feel good because the good times are shorter and the painful times are long especially if the opponent is able to durdle you turn after turn.
    From the decklist I would recommend less than 4xTobran, 3x at most because you don't want to have 2 sitting in your hand with a 20 land deck.. The idea of getting some 1/1s down and then cavalcade/chandra with Torbran is too fair to win most games as opponents will have a solution/threat themselves by turn 4. I've been experimenting with relying more on the steamkin/light up the stage combo to get a wide board by turn 4, then cavalcade or Torbran draws later will help win the game. And to make steamkin effective I have to cut a lot of the 3 drops like Chandra/spitfire/warboss in favour of skewer/rimrock/shock.
    e.g. turn 1 fervent champion, turn 2 steamkin, turn 3 there's a 4/4 Gruul Spellbreaker blocker, then attack with fervent champion, shock + boulder rush kills the blocker, light up the stage, and steamkin is 4/4. So it costs me a shock to remove a 4/4 blocker and I have 2 extra cards from light up the stage and 3 mana from steamkin to cast them. Other combos, 2x fervent champion + shock, 1xfervent champion + 2 rimrock
    hope this helps.

    I think on the last game just there was no way... the lack of lands was too absurd.
    if you didn't attack with with dodger, you could've double iniciative block the celebrant, so it dies before anything else, then block the reaper with one initiate, the gutterbones with steamkin and fall to 1 but take two creatures out and get rid of celebrant, but in any case, even with a land for torbran, with 3 attacking creatures you could only get 12 damage in (9 from cavalcade and 3 mre from a unblocked 1/1) in all cases, opponent would be at 13.
    that case would just be a tiny bit better because you wouldn't die from the first strike because of celebrant. Still, the land screw was too strong on this one. Maybe could've won if you played steamking earlier to get the counters on it, but who would've expected to get one land on the top 20 cards of the deck :/

  • @eleanmendoza
    @eleanmendoza 5 років тому

    It's not you, Calvalcade is not a good deck. It dies to almost everything. Can't go wide against token decks, can't get past bigger creatures, dies to removal decks. It loses on the draw in the mirror match. If you don't pull a calvalcade the deck is almost useless. The two most powerful creatures (Chandra and Torbran) die to almost all removal. Hope you get matched up against some kind of control deck, it's the only archetype this deck can honestly win. Mono red is pretty weak right now. In paper Magic this deck is even less consistent because the the MTG Arena shuffler behaves differently for each specific game style. This is a fun casual deck to play with friends, but nothing more.

  • @c.d.dailey8013
    @c.d.dailey8013 5 років тому

    Wow. Mono red is my pet peeve of Magic to be be really honest with you. It is irritating and annoying beyond all belief. I hate fighting against this. You did bash this deck at the end. I can agree with you. Control decks and blue gets a lot of hate. However I would rather face those any day. They are only mildly annoying. I would rather play with some kind of deck that goes more off of long term strategy like Orzhov or the four blue guilds. I find it really difficult to defeat red aggro decks. Even when I do use control, I have a difficult time. I get killed off before I can really get into fun gameplay. I can't even play the more competitive parts of Magic Area because there is too much mono red. I am currently building an Azorious control deck. That is where the real fun is. Azorious is awesome. It gets way too much undeserved hate. Its color combo is the opposite of red. I am getting pretty close to finishing the deck. I am building a mono red deck on the side. I got a variety of decks. With the mono-red deck it goes by the saying "if you can't beat them join them". So this video is very helpful. It helps me understand a mono-red deck so I can build one myself. I recently finished getting cavalclade cards using wildcards. I guess aggro can still be fun if it is integrated into other kinds of decks. I play with a variety of colors. I like learning about all the guilds of Ravnica even if Rakdos and Boros are a pain in the butt. It is interesting to see this mono red deck loose to more interesting deck. It makes me wonder if there is hope for me. One is the Simic food deck with Oko. I am perhaps one of the few people that like Oko. I have been trying to build a good Simic deck for ages. It is so dificult. If Oko wasn't banned, I would have made a Simic food deck a long time ago. I am currently trying Simic flash. I hope it goes okay. There was also an Orzhov deck. Orzhov is a lot of fun. I wonder if it can work. It has a lot of cheap creatures and there are life gain shenanigans. I even wonder if mono red is overpowered and it should get nerfed.
