There's always that guy in the Westerns who walks out for a duel, but flubs his revolver when he tries to quickdraw, and ends up smacking himself in the forehead with it.
I loved this deck for awhile, but Lockdown got real popular. Cut a few creatures to run 3-4 Break the Spell. 1 mana enchantment removal. It stopped Lockdown in a big way, you destroy lockdown at instant speed after they declare attacks and watch tons of triggers and huge creatures pop out of nowhere. Even had Voice comeback with invincibility once.
Yeah Gumdrop Poisoner worked since the Case applies to "creature cards", and adventure creatures count as those that just also have an option to cast them as an instant/sorcery if the creature becomes a valid target for casting. OTOH you /wouldn't/ be able to cast adventure spells off of "noncreature spells" becoming valid castables in the GY, I believe
I think you could actually cast Tempt with Treats if you had an effect that allowed you to play or cast a non-creature * spell * from the graveyard (or library) - because when you 'attempt to cast' an Adventure card, you get to choose which kind of spell it is, regardless where you cast it from. But you could not cast Gumpdrop Poisoner with such an effect, because that's a creature spell. If you had an effect that said cast (or copy) a non-creature * card * in your graveyard, that would not work with Tempt with Treats.
Yes, from what I understand, if it had said "you can play creatures from your graveyard" it would only be the creature portion, but since it's creature CARDS, the card itself gets the effect. The whole card. It's worded that way to keep sacrifice creatures from going infinite, because the card "forgets" that it had the "cast from graveyard ability" when it changes zones. Case only applies to creature cards in the graveyard at time of casting.
-You would still need a Cavern naming "Human" and not "Spirit" in order to cast Lunarch Veteran for its distrub cost. You are still casting the front half, it just enters transformed if you cast the disturb cost.- Edit: Just took a look at the comprehensive rules. The actual wording on disturb says you cast it transformed, so it would be back side up even on the stack. This is another case of why its important to look at the CR and not only rely on reminder text.
Loved the new @rarran colab even though I no nothing about hearthstone. I would love to have him pilot a timeless deck. Give him a real lesson on Magic's history. Enjoy your vacation 💚 Edit: that's not how you spell Rarran's name
I'm fairly sure that when you activate Case of the Uneaten Feast, it only applies to creature cards currently in your graveyard. I have tried to set this up for some kind of infinite sac-return combo (I think with a Greedy Freebooter so the treasure would pay to re-cast it) and it didn't let me :(. But possibly I mis-played somehow. (edit: yeah it's a 'continuous effect' applying to cards in your graveyard at the time, not a 'static ability'. Similar example is "creatures you control gain haste until end of turn", creatures you bring in after giving the rest haste, will not have haste)
Really like your videos I hope you enjoy your holiday. I’d be interested in an orzov life gain deck post rotation since aside from the 2 channel lands your only running voice of the blessed and veteran so I’m curious about how viable you think it’d be at least as a fringe deck
Did they remove some of the cards on the game? Some wouldn’t come up, so I couldn’t build the complete deck. I’m fairly new, so I might be missing something.
Commander and Brawl have very good choices, start with “Elas-il Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim” in the command zone. For Standard, you’re going to need “Vein Ripper” and the “Sadistic Pilgrim” together. GLHF
I've really tried to make it work in standard, and a lot of the cards are there, but it's just a bit too clunky. Your best sacrifice outlet is Bartolome del Presidio, and you do have payoffs in Elas il-Kor, Vito, and Vraan (Vein Ripper works too, but it's 6 mana), but generally it just requires too many pieces on the board at the same time, in a format jam packed with removal. When OG Aristocrats was good, it was a lot faster and put real pressure on the opponent.
@@QibingZero So there isn't enough atm and the good things are too expensive. 6 mana is insanely expensive, 5 is about as high a cost a card as I can see being used without ramp being a big part of the deck. Thank you!
Even tho I have 4 Amalia and 4 Voice of the blessed in my life gain deck it seems I almost never get them. When I do they don't come together with any etb life gaining creatures it's crazy. This didn't seem to happen a few month ago when I used to play orzhov life gain but didn't use 4 of each.
I think life gain has to run Get Lost, due to Lockdown. It also benefits from spot removal, since Gumdrop Poisoner struggles against midrange creatures in the early to mid game.
Delney + Wispdrinker Vampire In a deck around power2 or less creatures Teysa, Opulent Oligarch for example can cause a constant flow of new creatures and life drain triggers
Would there be a chance that you could play with this deck against my lifegain deck in history format? I would of course send you my deck list beforehand and you can also stream it live on your channel, I would be very happy about this challenge.
THE FULL CGB EXPERIENCE SHALL RETURN SOON!! When you’re a UA-camr, you have to maximize vacations to AVOID BURNOUT. It’s called ‘being human’ so, please be patient.
14 lands out of 24 cards is annoying on principle, but when you get to play 8 of the others and just a single one gets removed, it doesn't feel so bad.
Felt like this archetype did very well a week or two ago but now the matchmaker has found out the deck and started pitching it against matchups it will have a much harder time against.
I feel like CGB played almost the exact same deck 3 weeks ago. Except he said Voice of the Blessed was bad because it made the control matchup, which was already bad, even worse.
That Cavern of Souls hurts my brain. I've been enjoying a similar deck for the last few weeks, but feel like it isn't interactive enough. Either they have the answer (exiling your dudes instead of killing them), or they don't. Terrible matchup versus UW control, strong against basically everything else. Basically this deck is a meta call, counting on the aggro decks to keep you from bumping into the control. The other bad matchups are GB variants with Graveyard Trespasser and Oops, all combo. That is, assuming you fix your mana base - please please don't play Cavern of Souls, there are a million BW dual lands that are much more reliable.
It felt like there was truly nothing that could've been done against that mono black player with tiny bones and Lilliana lol. It's always such an annoying situation when you have no choice but to play a creature into the Lil sacrifice, but on top of that knowing that tiny bones gets to cast it afterwards... nah I'm outta there lol.
I have a deck very similar to this, except I throw in Kambal, Profiteering Mayor, Wispdrinker Vampire, and Vein Ripper! Awesome to see a similar playstyle, if anyone checks mine out I would love some feedback :D! Cheers!

Very very thankful he made a bunch of videos before he went on vacation. He is a real one. And they are actual gameplay videos too to top it off.
went absolutely lightheaded with laughter at 24:00 when you realized the opponent high nooned incorrectly
My reaction was "that is by far the worst high noon play ever."
There's always that guy in the Westerns who walks out for a duel, but flubs his revolver when he tries to quickdraw, and ends up smacking himself in the forehead with it.
19:57 most powerful zbat I ever seen. By only targeting the opponent you win the game.
I mean yeah, he took their soul.
That high noon guy... Must've been out in the sun too long.
Deck tech was 11/10. Will definitely watch again

Also consider Get Lost, or if you're poor, Destroy Evil

Last night I hit mythic with your MonoBlue Creatures deck from last week. Best of all I had fun while doing it.
There is hope for a good mono colored deck other than just mono red! bless you and your service to the ladder

It's also important if the backside is an Aura so it would target
10/10 intro. Totally down to hear that for the next week or so.
33:50 😅😅😅 The face... Get dunked on! Bahaha
i laughed so hard with the intro, i dont know why, it felt funny
"There's a few things they could hit"
*hits the nuts*
Love the intro. It's actually kinda informative lol
I wonder what countries is CGB visiting, Europe is so general xD
It's funny this video's URL has "brb" in it since CGB is on vacation :D
Love all the videos 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 always enjoyable 😊
Loved the new @rarran colab even though I no nothing about hearthstone. I would love to have him pilot a timeless deck. Give him a real lesson on Magic's history. Enjoy your vacation 💚
Edit: that's not how you spell Rarran's name
the singing at 32:01 was that a freakin John Farnham reference
Plot twist, when you are on vacation send your deck lists to rarran and have him guess what your deck does and splice it into your intro
I'm fairly sure that when you activate Case of the Uneaten Feast, it only applies to creature cards currently in your graveyard.

Getting shocked turn 1 with most other decks: "God give me a break"
Getting shocked with this deck: "Oh yeah, boo. You get you some ❤"
Really like your videos I hope you enjoy your holiday. I’d be interested in an orzov life gain deck post rotation since aside from the 2 channel lands your only running voice of the blessed and veteran so I’m curious about how viable you think it’d be at least as a fringe deck
You’re my favourite Magic content creator in terms of gameplay, I hope you have a nice Vacation!
You know you are a fan when you find yourself mumbling with a high pitched voice "what? Jin Gitaxias" during the intro
Do you think a version of this would be playable in Pioneer or would the combo decks just run it over? Big fan of aristocrat styles
Did they remove some of the cards on the game? Some wouldn’t come up, so I couldn’t build the complete deck. I’m fairly new, so I might be missing something.
15:10 that interrction is kinda weird to me. Could a judge to tell me why it works like that ?
Voice of the blessed is rotating out soon, isn't it? I do want to add it to my lifegain, but, if it is gone soon, no point if its gone in a month :P
Man that 14 land game reminded me of a match where I drew 9 lands in a row with a 3 land starting hand...on a low land count mono red aggro!! 😭
Query of the community: Is there a good aristocrats style deck available in standard/commander/brawl? That and simic are my favorite styles of play.
Commander and Brawl have very good choices, start with “Elas-il Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim” in the command zone. For Standard, you’re going to need “Vein Ripper” and the “Sadistic Pilgrim” together. GLHF

@@RetroMTG Thank you!
@@snugglyhugs8698 You bet! Also, there’s a black Spree card that returns 2 creatures from the graveyard to the battlefield. Drain’em haha!

play more it normal to have varience when playing a deck like you saw him drawing 14 land in 24 draw it a lot but it does happen
Every video you can see the FUN get sucks out of cgb in this intro
I think life gain has to run Get Lost, due to Lockdown. It also benefits from spot removal, since Gumdrop Poisoner struggles against midrange creatures in the early to mid game.
Jeje "...and we take...their soul..." : D
I've been wanting to test out Feast of the Victorious Dead with Amalia.
Do people watch these videos?
Intro should just be kept for every deck. "lots of small creatures? Aggro deck. Mostly spells? Control deck." perfect.
Ive always read Brutal Cathar as Brutal Catcher. Because, you know, he catches their creatures.
That intro was very funny haha
CGB man you put your lands in a deck and forgot to give it a good shuffle, they are still ordered by type and almost all in 1 spot.
Enjoy your holidays 😊
Delney + Wispdrinker Vampire
In a deck around power2 or less creatures
Teysa, Opulent Oligarch for example can cause a constant flow of new creatures and life drain triggers
No ocelot pride ???
Hope you're having a good vacation Messa Falcon guy!
"but CGB why was the video shorter?" No questions!
Happy holidays!
What an obscenely lazy intro LMAO I love it
Well, you were for sure not getting counterd by that mono white humans deck
Would there be a chance that you could play with this deck against my lifegain deck in history format? I would of course send you my deck list beforehand and you can also stream it live on your channel, I would be very happy about this challenge.
why you dont say orzhov for the color comb white/black sounds silly xD
I love the generic intro, it's funny and unique and has that CGB charm

The flesh is weak
@@lancelee338 I hear that's a pretty cool card
Get a life dude
@@honestabe411one could say the same to you, who comments on several comments per video with snark and rudeness

Maybe order the deck by mana value instead of that clumper of bs?
Enjoy your vacay!!
Cgb make a historic colorless with the eldrazi
I love this type of deck but it gets absolutely bodied by any type of sweeper and I always feel like I get paired up against control when I play it.
Mono Red players who hate this deck in the Meta: YOU DID THIS TO YOURSELF.
I feel like CGB played almost the exact same deck 3 weeks ago. Except he said Voice of the Blessed was bad because it made the control matchup, which was already bad, even worse.
Yeah probably wouldnt run caverns with this one to many creatur types and not enough colorless pips beside
That Cavern of Souls hurts my brain. I've been enjoying a similar deck for the last few weeks, but feel like it isn't interactive enough.

"Just net deck and win."
What’s up with this Bronco love affair?
vacation mode
2nd game was painful. Player had to be on mobile.
Have fun in Europe!
I have a deck very similar to this, except I throw in Kambal, Profiteering Mayor, Wispdrinker Vampire, and Vein Ripper! Awesome to see a similar playstyle, if anyone checks mine out I would love some feedback :D! Cheers!
Its twenty nont twenny

Oh boy, Voice if the Blessed is back.
I hate it.
Voice if the based

Gix is dumb and not needed in this deck at all. Amalia + Schism does it already.
