Yo, I was the UW player from game 3. Since it was asked how I survive against red decks and other super fast threats, I do actually have an answer. The deck is a High Noon/Planeswalker deck, with 3 temporary lockdown, 3 sunfall, 2 Eternal Wanderer and 2 final showdowns for sweepers. It sucks running both lockdown and high noon in the same deck but the meta is just so fast that I have to take the L on that one. The deck overall still struggled, being obliterated by discard decks and having a poor control matchup. If there’s one thing I learned, it’s that Final Showdown is a better card than I believed. The mode that lets you turn off creature abilities came up very often - turning off a slickshot’s or a recruiter’s haste saved me more than I expected.
@@tennicksalvarez9079 It's not even greedy, an instant wrath is a game design issue. Aggro decks can't slow play it as the point of control is to have more overall value, meaning more turns is always a disadvantage. I don't think you understand how the game plays. Only real option most games is to force them to have the answer, otherwise you will always lose to the better value.
lmao somebody reported my comment for some reason, but there is a combo and I'm not typing the whole thing out again, but cruel gorehound, osteomancer adept, insidious roots, and tyvar. you do the math.
@@notimportant768 hell yeah buddy I tried it out in bo1 and got the combo in 3/8 attempts. could use some polish by a better deckbuilder than myself but the combo is real.
@@Goldy01 Tyvar PW on the BF means your tokens can tap for mana upon creation, so if you cast a creature from GY with Osteomancer, Insidious Roots produces one plant token, which triggers Gorehound's surveil ability when it enters, which means you can potentially put another creature in GY, which you can then cast with Osteo, thereby creating another plant token through IR, which can immediately tap for mana because of Tyvar and triggers Gorehound again, etc. Plus, if the creatures you're brining back have 2 power or less, that's 2 surveil triggers you get out of Gorehound. Not sure if it's infinite, but with cheap enough creatures (like you have in any Insidious Roots deck), it could go long, and your plant tokens get bigger every time. If you wanna take it even further, you can use sacrifice/draw two effects on your own creatures that have an ability from GY effect (again, like any Insidious Roots deck already has - Ichor Drinker, Faerie Dreamthief, Rubblebelt Maverick, etc.) and draw into more mana/creatures as you pump out more plant tokens.
Best way to run squirrels is not pure, but sultai mixed with rats. Rats (and the blue cards made for them) and squirrels fascilitate eachother so incredibly well. New blue rats are just amazing for graveyard and self mill to begin with. Glarb, the sultai frog, also supports this sort of build incredibly well. Three mana 1/4 deathtouch which can tap to surveil 2 and lets you look at the top card of your deck at any time and play lands from it.
Valley Rotcaller is a must if you are going to be spamming squirrels. I have been playing a green-black squirrel deck this week and I have been loving it. I also really like Honoured Dreyleader, since it gets +1/+1 for each squirrel and food you control, so it can be huge in the late game
Squirrels can actually be completely broken when played right. You have to gen food tokens then use Camilla and corpsberry to speed boost. One turn you can forage Camilla 4 times adding an entire field
I don't understand the "Squirrel is weak" idea, Camellia and dreyleader alone have win games for me easily. Sure, the deck needs planning and a bit of luck with the land ramp but I get to gold with no major problems
i am having some ok success with a deck not trying to fill the graveyard but playing of food. bakersbane duo, vinetrap mentor and so one to make food, scavangers talent both to reanimate and to make more food, the "big" payof i run is rottenmouth viper because its really easy to get it out with a few food tokens. also honored dreyleader gets so big so quickly with camelia and a bit of food to sac. so does syr ginger meal ender as well. its by no means a meta defining deck but it seems to work ok and im sure someone a bit more skilled at magic then i could get a bit more out of the general idea.
Yeah, I think Food is the way to go, Camelia really gets out of control fast if you have lots of food to sac she can build a board all by herself, she doesn't really pop off if you're foraging from Graveyard. Another card I found that works well is Braids to turn your food into card draws.
I think the biggest issue with Squirrels is that it had practically no other creatures to support it going into Bloomburrow for Standard, which is honestly super surprising to me seeing as Squirrels was like, the only pre-establish Typal strat other than Rats going into things. Plus the other types had 1 or 2 guys from previous sets to give them a tiny bit of support, I wonder why Squirrels got left behind :/
@@Goldy01Rotcaller is your early menace. Him plus the foragers in play could sap a good amount of life from the opponent and get the cards You need. Camellia is the finisher, put her on table with 3-4 food tokens and enough mana and see what happens
Adept can be both a noun as well as an adjective. It describes someone who has become adept at a skill/skills, and is also a term used as a noun to describe someone who is adept particularly in the use of the arcane.
Honestly I've been sinking all my resources into the Golgari Turtle deck. It's surprisingly resilient. Plus I'm playing with the decklist for more control elements.
For all those food tokkens you can use de 6/6 new vehicle artifact. I think one of the best card on the set... tap 2 tokkn, 6/6 vigilance at cost 3... nonsense Im using it on both decks, azorius aggro and golgari food/squirrels.
This deck is made better with bartolame, allowing you to sacrifice at instant speed for free. Add mill from scavengers talent or ping damage from elas il kor or kambal, profiteering mayor, and you have a deck that wins provided you have all 3 pieces of any of their forms on board. Literally allows you to go infinite for mill, or damage, with multiple routes
i've been tweaking around a gy recursion deck that uses proliferate and the ichor gauntlet to reanimate the viper and give it a bunch of counters winning the game its pretty zesty
I mean I made a deck with specter of mortality as a mid-rangy/control deck and it's fun even thought it may not be meta lol. I do agree that the new set is all about going fast.
I think that rather than play squirrels with food, playing them with insidious roots and trying to get those exile triggers works way better (cache grab can find the roots, it can also trigger them if you mill and take a creature). Now roots will make 1 token no matter how many cards you exile so better exile 1 creature and 2 others when you forage
I have been playing everything but mono-red lately. I’ve never felt so liberated. However I am playing mono-black Discard, so I feel like I just turned into a different kind of monster.
I played this with an extra Ygra rather than the Cottonmouth Viper (Even though that's a great card). I also gave it a bit more food generation. It worked pretty well.
Wait, that game at 38:30; why wouldnt you locthwain into virtue? slickshot prented potentially a LOT more than the 3 damage a food would mitigate, and that ended up being the case - killing it then would have meant you could gumdrop the mouse instead, putting you in a much better spot.
I really don't think Gumdrop Poisoner is playable outside of a lifegain deck. If you're cracking a food on the turn you play her, you're paying 5 mana for sorcery speed removal spell. Weak.
is Experimental Confectioner not legal? I feel running forage cards without him is insane AND you have ygra which is Experimental Confectioner's best friend.
I like how salty you get when facing down Sweepers: The Deck. I always got the impression that you're primarily a control player with how you talk about/play aggro in Best of One (not to mention how you make control-/midrange-style plays despite playing aggro), but you're definitely an aggro player when it comes to salt content.
Pretty sure UW control is historically his preferred playstyle, at least coming from someone who has watched him for a couple years now. He probably gets salty because when playing aggro decks against sweeper tribal, it's a more crushing defeat than usual. He is far less salty about it when he plays midrange or control himself.
Golgari player at heart here. I was heart broken when I tried to make squirrels work and realized that woc neglected the archetype. Hoping the next set sees some love for the squirrels
I've been enjoying a food-based squirrel hybrid with gum-drop poisoner, tough cookie, a few of the squirrels and a top end of ygra. It can grind games out but struggles going second into mono red and boros convoke. Decent match up into mono black discard.
theres a squirrel card that says "when you attack with this card opponent loses X life and you gain X life where X is the number of other squirrels, bats, lizards and otters you control" might have creatures wrong but squirrel is the important one. its also not legendary, card to think about
Squirrels aren't meant for winning. They're meant for sending a message. Winning is just a bonus. Also, obligatory liking the video because golgari comment.
Actually mega-mogwai made an insane squirrels deck that did very good, im suprused nobody copied him. He went like 10-0 with it too i believe. The real question i have is why has not a single creator made a birds deck lol. I wanna see one really badly, regardless of how bad they may be.
Counter magic isn't as strong right now. Cavern of souls exists and people just playing lots of small spells that aren't worth countering diminishes returns on having Lofty Denial in your deck. Also birds are kinda poop
34:20 "we can turn one mana into two with these gumdrop poisoners" - you are also tapping your mana dorks for that... you know, the things that make 1 mana on their own? keep the gumdrop poisoner in hand instead of playing the adventure
Wait, he's saying rats are better? I get that WoE has a lot of good rats that were just looking for a bit more support, but it's best support is a squirrel, not the rats given to us in bloomburrow from what I've seen.
I’m thrilled about the archetype videos. Huge fan
Squirrels and insidious roots are ment for each other
This is what I’ve been brewing, add Scavenger’s Talent to make foods and fill the yard
Yes! So far, I’ve been enjoying it. I’ve been doing a cauldron deck with it.
I've been having a lot of fun with insidious roots, you got a list I could look at with squirrels?
@@darthader3507I'd love to take a peek at your list if you don't mind lol
I tried... and went from 4 copies to 3 to 2 and then none... forgot about the Forage thing and centered in going wide and tall, so "Funny Rabbits" 2.0, but with a lot of gain life
Scavenger's Talent
mode 1: makes one food when first creature dies
mode 2: mills 2 cards when you sacrifice anything(food, treasure, land)
Whenever I play with/against squirrels, I love saying "I/They drew the nuts."

Hey CGB, Squirrels seem to be the most underpowered new creature archetype. Which do you think is strongest?
Dear CGB: Osteo is Latin for bone. So an Osteomancer would be a spellcaster that specializes in bones.
That very last moment in the video was insanely awesome! If you don't watch it you are missing out on LIFE.
So how are we ranking these?
Squirrels, Otters, Frogs, Mice, Lizards and Bunnies?
Lol I built a Squirrel deck like this last night, hadnt seen this, almost the same cards completely
If i make a good deck with at least 3 unique squirrels that can get me to diamond, will you sign my Mesa Falcon?
"Forager is Fred Bugg with two G's!"
I really don't think Gumdrop Poisoner is playable outside of a lifegain deck. If you're cracking a food on the turn you play her, you're paying 5 mana for sorcery speed removal spell. Weak.
is Experimental Confectioner not legal? I feel running forage cards without him is insane AND you have ygra which is Experimental Confectioner's best friend.
Is it my screen or is the video rendering of the game fuzzy, because his commentary image is crystal clear? CGB your converter might have an issue.
P. S. Based on word roots alone an "osteomancer" would be a spellcaster who uses bones

Yes please make a new control deck😊😊
How about burbs? Make the burb deck
For forage you don’t want to use the graveyard part of it. Just make a squirrel food token deck and forage by saccing a food. They’re super powerful
doesn't help that cemetery tampering isn't standard legal anymore
