Seeing so many Lilliana activations reminds me of the time someone ulted her against me, and put my virtue of persistence in one pile, and all of my other permanents in the other. I chose the virtue and still won lol.
Everytime I watch CGB pilot these multiple-moving-parts decks for an hour I honestly I feel like I'm learning more about this game and find more ways to improve than when I spend 4 hours playing. You're cool, sensei, you're cool.
Absolutely! I have an esper version where I have this town ain't big enough and geistwave for extra bounce synergy and the temporary lockdown interaction is awesome. Also makes the deck much more resilient to monored and boros convoke.
I like how this is basically standards version of boros synthesizer in concept. The fairy is just modal glinthawk and youre flickering control/tempo stuff instead of draw.
It's really nice to see Nurturing Pixie shenanigans. I got myself a playset of that card when it came out ... exactly for interation with Blade and Nightmare. I didn't, however, try to build a deck around it.
Came across a version that ran Temporary Lockdowns. Is what I use in the version I play. Helps a lot with Boros, Synth Decks, and Mono Red. Can always bounce it with your pixie or other effects to have Nightmares, Tithing Blades, Inspectors, etc bounce back in and trigger on the spot.
@covertgoblue This deck reminds me of an older invasion/odyssey block. I played the BW braids deck at an Indy pto and did well piloting it. I still remember the deck list it had the old better unfair braids and vindicates and sapped them of lands real quick. It had mesmeric fiends, duress' and similar effects. It's beat stick was nantuko shade and spectral lynx. While it also used removal in forms of vindicate and chainers edict.
I love Amsterdam. Granted it’s been 20 years since I’ve been it was my first experience out of the States by myself. I hope you take extra time to enjoy what an amazing place it is!
I've played against this deck a few times. Some with a Gruul Counters deck, with Teething Wurmlet, Soul Cauldron, Inti, etc, and some with Golgari Midrange. Gruul Counters hates this deck. Golgari Midrange so far hasn't lost to it. Edit: I imagine you have to run Pest Control and Path of Peril in the sideboard for Bo3 to have a chance vs Boros.
At 5:31 why does braid’s effect conclude before nightmare’s scry? Shouldn’t your sacrifice happen first, causing scry to activate, then the rest of braid activates asking the opponent to sacrifice, causing draw?
Fun thing you can do with 2 Guardians and a Hostile Investigator, if they have no cards in hand The Guardian targets the other, at end of turn that returns and you target the Hostile Investigator then it enters at their end step and keeps them from holding the card they draw. Down side is that it eliminates one of your blockers. But it's pretty sweet against blue decks that are in top deck mode, prevents them from holding counter spells
I've only played this deck three times just now. Three scoop wins, including one where the opponent didn't understand "under owner's control" after stealing and playing three of my cards. I haven't won three in a row since I came back to MTGA about two months ago. :D And props to CGB for his decks (the only ones, bar one, that I've used by any CC) and his nonsense. \o/
I like playing the Fortune Mount creature also, as I do not have any of the blinking angel. Scry 2 is amazing every turn and it doges cut down. Also they are so low on resources it sticks around longer than expected. 2 /2 split with the angel is nice to I've seen. Many different ways to sideboard and play the deck which is cool. But also oppressive on the other end
From your match at 21:38. I use a couple stone brains in a few decks to rip apart combo decks. Steal someone's world souls rage or recruiter and suddenly they're a lot easier to deal with lol
As always, great choice of games. Riveting until the very end, back and forth with both players getting resources and a trickle of value trying to outdo each other... Great watch
Do you recommend this deck to craft now? I don't know the rotations, i want to play esper midrange or control but with card that don't rotate in a couple of months.
Ghirapour/Tithing Blade would also work good with Glorious Protector, Witness the Future and Deadly Dispute and some Kaya the Inexorable and some Consuming Tides and Teleportation Circles.
You should acquire an old school Beastmaster sample of the noise he made when he called down his black bird to attackhis enemies. Every Gen 'X"r who here's it will remember the iconic 80s bird sound, and who knows? Maybe his bird was a falcon too!
6:54 i played against this deck with UW control (naturally lol) and was totally laughing at the idea... and them when they scooped. But anything that outdoes mono red is good in my book
This seems like a deck for Pest Control, since Boros Convoke's a real bad matchup. The deck's curve is kinda low, but not REALLY low that you get hurt worse - and Pest Control can handle the parts that get out of hand, and be cycled away if you don't need it. (Really, Pest Control in general seems invented like an answer to Boros Convoke.)
This deck reminds me of back in the old days of liliana and demons disciple, you play the disciple to sack a creature or itself and the opponent has to sack a creature or a planeswalker. +1 liliana to bring back demons disciple repeat
@@yoyoguy1st yeah, it is great. But I added the baloths just without green color support to face the discard deck and have a fun surprise. So against a mono red didn't work ahahaha
i think ashlizzle had some pixie decks she tried a while back and amaz came up with this deck seperately. and ashlizzle's newest version came after this one with some of her own card choices iirc
Man in that last match you played when you attacked with 2 hostile investigator's and your guardian and they took it you missed lethal with your Restless Fortress seeing if you would have attacked with that they would have taken the 2 from the attack trigger and would have had to block something to live. seeing as even after you cast all of your other lily's and your one tithing blade.
The vid is cool but god I wanted this to be Rarran saying a card is the best thing ever, you trying it because he was just persuasive enough to get you to give it a go, then it's an hour of you getting rused and suffering

Is that just for the US or can Europeans enter as well?

It's funny how Amaz was considered a MTG Player when HearthStone started and now it's reversed.
That’s not funny
@@honestabe411 ok
its ok i though it was funny
@@honestabe411 Go cry about it.
You know how it is people only think of the last few years unless they have to

Playing this Deck & Saying " What is it, THE BRAIDS?" Like Kendrick Lamar
The only thing more important than nurturing pixie is more caw caw in videos. Caw caw, Mesa Falcon Gang, caw caw!
I think instead of Mesa Falcon Gang, we should be the Mesa Flock. As we are all bad MFs...
Falcon Man, Falcon Man
Does whatever a Falcon Can
Bends your cards, anytime
Catches fakes worth a dime
Look out
Here comes the Falcon Man!
Are we talking about slay the spire Caw Caw, or is it another ref?
@@Finnigan28 they are saying falcons cawing lol but I understand your confusion XD
temporary lockdown on your own stuff and flickering your lockdown is hilarious in this deck.
Absolutely! I have an esper version where I have this town ain't big enough and geistwave for extra bounce synergy and the temporary lockdown interaction is awesome. Also makes the deck much more resilient to monored and boros convoke.
What do you use to flicker lockdown
@getlooky736 scrollshift can flicker at instant speed and you draw a card. It's a little jank for bo1 but is good in a control matchup.
I like how this is basically standards version of boros synthesizer in concept.
The fairy is just modal glinthawk and youre flickering control/tempo stuff instead of draw.
There’s a orzhov version like this in pauper too
@@DiscardatRandom yknow that makes sense
I was thinking the same thing, I enjoy these bounce stuff back to hand for value decks
That last one was long but SOOOO good
That's what she said?
I love flickering the prototype creatures. This is a cool deck as well!
It's really nice to see Nurturing Pixie shenanigans.

Any chance you have a link for that version of decklist?

Braids doesn't create a delayed trigger. It's all part of the same triggered ability and finishes before Nightmare goes on the stack
that last game was so fun to watch
CGB with the Office Space quote, gotta love it !
Fun thing you can do with 2 Guardians and a Hostile Investigator, if they have no cards in hand The Guardian targets the other, at end of turn that returns and you target the Hostile Investigator then it enters at their end step and keeps them from holding the card they draw.

Ah, orzhov braids. I've been running my own version of this in Pioneer for forever.
Looks like he may have solved some best of one, but definitely not standard, unless there is a sideboard that isn't listed here.
I like playing the Fortune Mount creature also, as I do not have any of the blinking angel. Scry 2 is amazing every turn and it doges cut down. Also they are so low on resources it sticks around longer than expected. 2 /2 split with the angel is nice to I've seen. Many different ways to sideboard and play the deck which is cool.

From your match at 21:38. I use a couple stone brains in a few decks to rip apart combo decks. Steal someone's world souls rage or recruiter and suddenly they're a lot easier to deal with lol
stone brain is so good but very few even run it
As always, great choice of games.
Riveting until the very end, back and forth with both players getting resources and a trickle of value trying to outdo each other...
Great watch
the Liliana turn was beyond crazy, also Getaway Glamer with its blink effect works great in this deck!
Do you recommend this deck to craft now? I don't know the rotations, i want to play esper midrange or control but with card that don't rotate in a couple of months.
only sets rotating this fall are the 2 Innistrad sets and Kamigawa
@@thunderryu0494streets of new capenna too. Luckily this deck is mostly protected from rotation aside from the rite of oblivion and a couple lands
If this deck takes off, RG or BG with the baloths is going to feel soooo good
Ghirapour/Tithing Blade would also work good with Glorious Protector, Witness the Future and Deadly Dispute and some Kaya the Inexorable and some Consuming Tides and Teleportation Circles.
that was such a fun epic battle to watch, great video :)
Lifegain vs Discard? Both good decks? What has Standard come to?
Okiba Reckoner Raid could be interesting in this deck and also Deep Cavern Bat
I think with all the Investigators/Lillianas and mono red good old obstinate baloth is worth another look
thought I was the only one playing that card lol, the lifegain is so good too the four extra life has definitely kept me in games
I saw Ashlizzle play it in her sideboard and was so clutch at those times
I’ve been seeing more and more recently
51:25 Really surprising they don't just take the sheoldred to at least chip in 2 damage on your draw step and soak up your last rite of oblivion
I played against this with your mono white dorks deck. Got totally smoked, when Braids showed up I was absolutely toast.
nice this deck rules i wonder through hmmmm any room in it for the raven man could really help create blockers and shorten opponents life clocks :D
What beats covert go blue today?
You should acquire an old school Beastmaster sample of the noise he made when he called down his black bird to attackhis enemies. Every Gen 'X"r who here's it will remember the iconic 80s bird sound, and who knows? Maybe his bird was a falcon too!
Very excited to meet you at Dam. YAY!
Great last game couldn't look away!
14:00 why would they not just swing with everything...
When did this meta become a maindeck Duress meta?
Wouldn't one Night Clubber help the deck, especially against Boros? Also, what makes that sound at 37:58, sounded like someone farting.
I would add tesya from murders for some more value in this deck.
6:54 i played against this deck with UW control (naturally lol) and was totally laughing at the idea... and them when they scooped. But anything that outdoes mono red is good in my book
Just played against this and it stomped me with 1 & 2 mana spells
This seems like a deck for Pest Control, since Boros Convoke's a real bad matchup.

I feel this deck wants a main deck path of peril or 2 for when low to the ground decks get out of hand.
Found this deck against me so many time that I put 4x of Obstinate Baloth in my Dimir ninja deck. Now I found only monored
4 mana 4/4 that gains 4 on ETB is super solid against mono red too
@@yoyoguy1st yeah, it is great. But I added the baloths just without green color support to face the discard deck and have a fun surprise. So against a mono red didn't work ahahaha
@@theramenboy oh. Yes it’s double green I see the issue now. I’m stupid.
Oh look, it's the same deck I've been using in both Standard and Extended for the past 5 years.
"Ok. Ok ok." Someone been watching some SaffronOlive? :D
Thanx for the awesome content! May ask where the sideboard is?😅
Cool deck. Why couldn't hostile imvestigator be a rare card. Would craft this on the sppt.
the red haste meta in limited constructed standard is so toxic
Worse it's just boring, it's not even fun to play and this is coming from a gruul man.
Why not just attack in the last game?
This deck is so fun, please use it in another video
That last game was great! KA-KAWWWW!!!!
Ahhh, top deck wars the deck. Magic returns to its roots.
*I love how this is just SaxanBowey's Witness Oblivion build.*
Now I'm even more sad that for once, I'm not in the Netherlands. Missing Magic-con..
I lost to this earlier using the new black red cranial ram deck. It was annoying.
Wait isn't this ashlizzle's deck?
i think ashlizzle had some pixie decks she tried a while back and amaz came up with this deck seperately. and ashlizzle's newest version came after this one with some of her own card choices iirc
Methinks the deck wants paths to peril or pest controls
CGB just misses flickering with yorion is what this deck tells me. And i agree.
Keep the sound effects! They match the CGB persona
I'll be in Amsterdam, but on Friday, not Saturday. 🙁
Man in that last match you played when you attacked with 2 hostile investigator's and your guardian and they took it you missed lethal with your Restless Fortress seeing if you would have attacked with that they would have taken the 2 from the attack trigger and would have had to block something to live. seeing as even after you cast all of your other lily's and your one tithing blade.
10/10 needs more ca-caw!!!
sees title
I didn't know Voxy played standard
ConvertGoOrzhov
Hope youll be enjoying the Netherlands!
Hearthstone in the thumbnail, but no Rarran in the video?!
I’m guessing stone brain was because they got tired of losing against simulacrum synthesizer
Naww. CGB helping all the little MesaFalcons take flight and soar through the meta.
I beat this deck last night lol that's some crazy timing
I think to BO1 it wants some more shelly, and maybe 1 more cave
we need a moderate amount of kraka
That looks like a fun deck
Thaf last game was beautiful
Amaz deck so good it scammed the standard algorithm
This is like old Disinformation Campaign surveil decks lol.
damn canceling my amsterdam flight now very sad!
Talking about budget deck with Sheoly xD
Amaz came on the game knights show a while back and destroyed them
Last game 🤯
Manic Pixie Nightmare Girl
More bird noises please
Ash made this deck 3 days ago it’s a interesting concept
Stop making decks that kills my deck! I cant afford to make this beauty.
This deck is good against control deck but lose to draw turbo deck.
Epic grinding.
why not sacrifice the inspector against the amalia deck, these creatures are better as an innocent blood after the clue
Fun deck but it gets trounced to bits by Izzet artifacts in standard. I’m 9-0 against it
Another certified banger
Ah, so this is why I played against this annoying ass deck 3 times in a row this morning.
we need more ka kaw
Super cool deck
