Plus, at 36:50 he uses Tyrant scorn during his turn while he could have used it the following turn at instant speed (the oppo would have taken 1 upkeep damage as well because of the Spawn of Mayhem's effect), right?
Not even through the whole video, but that one copy of Massacre Girl came in so clutch in so many games. Crazy, when some games you never see something you have four of!
That last game was so satisfying to watch . When you stole the fires it reminded me of Fat Bastard stealing Austin powers mojo. Thank you for the upload , high quality content you have there. Cheers CGB !
@CGB I dont know what it is, but this weeks games on the channel have been amazing! Ayara brawl, the gruul matchup this video, you've just been making some awesome plays, winning matches that looked almost over! Really great stuff, thanks for your work!
@CGB can you please explain why we'd be idiots to deck thin at 37:20 ? It's a relatively new concept (for me) so I'd love to know when/why it wouldn't be useful.
27:30 you could have sacrificed your agent to return the agent and add the other agent to your hand, so you would have gotten an extra agent for next turn and would have gotten the draw 3 effect this turn (castle, rider, rider)
Fun archetype. I like using it with cards like Drakuseth and Villis(or anything hard to cast really) and bond of revival. This deck is fun with Yarok if you can pull it off. You don’t even have to splash mana. I liked using mirror march in it before rotation, but the lands situation might make it difficult now.
I would play at least 1 scholar of the ages. He allows you to blood for bones every turn which is super grindy and allows you to get back something else too like thought erasure for even more value!
Great video! Question and sorry it doesn't pertain to cc but do you do eldraine rank draft? I'm sure you've probably either done so or already explained why not but I did a mono white draft, got to 7 wins and felt soooooo amazing! Thought it would also be awesome to see your process and get new ideas
Hey CGB, im playing a similar list but grixis. Steasl lands but rix maddi reveler, thrill of possibility, bone crusher giant and darkuseth as a 1 of. It still needs some tuning but it has potential, happy to share if interested. Glad you've moved away from scummy red mage I caught the reference to the mad irish lad from braveheart
I know it's not good in the meta right now with Oko being maindeck artifact removal (that doesn't actually destroy) that everyone runs, but I prefer a version of this deck with more selfmill and Cauldron of Eternity+Emry as the main recursion engine. What it loses in speed/resistance to counterplay, it gains in consistency IMO. You need a godlike hand to reanimate an Agent turn 4, but you can consistently do it turn 5/6 every game if you mull to Emery or Cauldron.
Is this deck any good? I only have enough wildcards for 1 deck and I think I want a blue/black deck, I just don't want to lose every game but still have fun lol
Hi Big Guy.. You have the best deck builds & the ideas they give off to help building my own decks are Magnificent. You're Dance of the Mance is undefeated for me. Just wanted to know or if you can help me on a build or here is an idea with Doom Foretold & Retributive Wand. I tried a build around them but have not perfected the build yet. Sacrificing the wand deals 5 damage to any target.
Yeee I use this all the time. 🤣 So fun... You can even put Drakuseth in just to reanimate him. Mengucci made a very fun version with Fae of Wishes that can discard twice!
I believe that massacre girl won you the first two games, or at least was clearly extremely impactful, even though there's only one in the deck, which tells me you are a master. But seriosuly though, fun deck.
I struggle so hard with this deck to get wins. You need to meet a lot of conditions to pressure your opponent. You need the right creature in the graveyard. You need a reanimator card. You need to survive. It's just so much easier to play a deck that uses good cards to win. Synergy at the expense of individual card quality is just not the way to go in MtG. You'll get mauled by OP creatures and planeswalkers on curve. Just play good cards. Nuff' said.
Love the methodical play, especially how u clearly state all ur potential plays. Learning alot.
CGB: *steals land*
Mono Red Player: Sigh, now i gotta think
Mono Red Player: *concedes*
I ran a cavalcade deck for all the previous meta. It took a whole month to think before smash the "Attack all" button every time
"Massacre Girl!"
... and there's Rosewater in his bunker directly accessing CGB's next top deck with a smirk
massacre girl hitting the board and wiping everything else is so oddly satisfying
36:25 Why wouldn't you play the Passage to thin your deck of lands so you have more chance of getting a good draw?
Cause he won anyway, so why not? 😜
Plus, at 36:50 he uses Tyrant scorn during his turn while he could have used it the following turn at instant speed (the oppo would have taken 1 upkeep damage as well because of the Spawn of Mayhem's effect), right?
Great video CGB! Really love Dimir reanimator and hearing you explain the reasoning behind your plays really helps!
Not even through the whole video, but that one copy of Massacre Girl came in so clutch in so many games. Crazy, when some games you never see something you have four of!

You are so good. So much fun to watch, and so informative. This video is one of the best too. Shows just how good a player you are. Keep it up!

Turn 2 oko is just the most obnoxious thing!
27:30 you could have sacrificed your agent to return the agent and add the other agent to your hand, so you would have gotten an extra agent for next turn and would have gotten the draw 3 effect this turn (castle, rider, rider)
All these DIMIR DECKS. love dimir ❤️
Hi! I dont have "FBTL whatever, the lost" card. What would you put there instead? I really love the deck, your videos and explanations!!
That red/green deck he played against at first is really fun to use. Questing Beast is a MVP.
You really have the most calming voice
First and i can't wait to see what CGB has crafted for us today!
Shout-out to Braveheart!
"This is my island".
Putting in a vote for Historic Dinos when you get to Gruul!
This guy has played a TON of Magic at 18:00 to see his thought process.
Fun archetype. I like using it with cards like Drakuseth and Villis(or anything hard to cast really) and bond of revival. This deck is fun with Yarok if you can pull it off. You don’t even have to splash mana. I liked using mirror march in it before rotation, but the lands situation might make it difficult now.
Love all the Dimir decks
That deck is called the "Agent of Bones" deck.
This was my go-to deck last season. Time to give it another try!
Your sequencing is godlike my friend I love it!!!
I would play at least 1 scholar of the ages. He allows you to blood for bones every turn which is super grindy and allows you to get back something else too like thought erasure for even more value!
About the deck thinning comment. I was thinking more like just the option to shuffle your library... Thoughts?
Vince Cronk
His comment seemed kinda needlessly rude. I’d rather he just explained why that wasn’t needed, instead of him being rude about it.
Scholar of the ages would be good
The heart of the cards is definitely present in this video.
Loved watching that victory at 20 mins in!
Great video! Question and sorry it doesn't pertain to cc but do you do eldraine rank draft?

Hey CGB, im playing a similar list but grixis. Steasl lands but rix maddi reveler, thrill of possibility, bone crusher giant and darkuseth as a 1 of. It still needs some tuning but it has potential, happy to share if interested. Glad you've moved away from scummy red mage
I caught the reference to the mad irish lad from braveheart
I dont'know... it's one thing to forget how Narset works... it's another thing to forget how YOUR Narset works. XP
I know it's not good in the meta right now with Oko being maindeck artifact removal (that doesn't actually destroy) that everyone runs, but I prefer a version of this deck with more selfmill and Cauldron of Eternity+Emry as the main recursion engine.

Thx CGB, great vid as always
Love this CGB best thing I've seen all week! Steal everything! Hahah😎
I spent my wildcards on this deck and totally don't regret it. It's great fun and has a decent win rate.
Is this deck any good? I only have enough wildcards for 1 deck and I think I want a blue/black deck, I just don't want to lose every game but still have fun lol
I got into mtg by watching day9’s spellslingers. Would love to see you on that show if they reboot it!
Isnt running Drakuseth super good in this deck, or is it more for the memes?
10:50 I know I'm supposed to concede right now. Lol
We grixis mages haven't given up on bolas because he hasn't given up on us!
Why not to go with Legion's End instead of disfigure? It's better after 1st round and if you often hit 2 cards
Prevents turn two Oko when op is on the play
How do i beat the cat devk in bo1 standard?
mmmm... I think I will take that!

I just ruined my favorite reanimator by splashing red to try out the royal scions, gotta fix it. Rotting regisaur does work in the deck though.
With how often it catches people out you'd think everyone'd remember Narset's secondary effect more
Ive been doing the same but i go slighly different build probably u can give me some pointers. Will upload my decklist in a min
Enter the God eternals seems good in this also and I'd consider playing a couple.
Got away with not looking silly at 51:50 when loot wouldn't have worked because of Narset :P then at 53:43 "do you not know how your Narset works?"
I love reanimated thief.
Nice deck, but no scholar of the ages for infinite value tho?
Was that your “mono black aristocrats”?
Played a match up or 15 after seeing it on your Twitter acc. Fun but misses 4 Hypnotic specters , hmmm thats for next week in historic ;)
Yeee I use this all the time. 🤣 So fun... You can even put Drakuseth in just to reanimate him.
Mengucci made a very fun version with Fae of Wishes that can discard twice!
Amazing
"R C X 4" not R114?
I believe that massacre girl won you the first two games, or at least was clearly extremely impactful, even though there's only one in the deck, which tells me you are a master. But seriosuly though, fun deck.
Keep the long games comin.

Jesus CGB, what Grixis player hurt you? You were really ripping into that poor guy.
I'd be so salty as an opponent at 19:95
❤️
oh i did enjoi it
You are very lucky none of your opponents had leyline of the void
MAKA make dimir the greatest guild powerfull again :D D
you mean Ireland? Yea.... its mine.
