@@camcongab765 In the (better) play that Ray Dai suggest, yes; but CGB played it in a way that Stomp (the instant in Bonecrusher) whiffs (never resolves because it no longer can find its target) so the whole card gets discarded.
John Bryan de Gula yes, but indestructible doesn’t prevent the damage, it just makes the creature unable to die. So the creature would just live at 0 toughness
@@qbass2249 CGB just gets salty sometimes. I wish I could play more than once a month so I'd get my shot to drop a "hello" and a pre-mature GGs. It's funny. It's good content.
I see a deck that M21 Lilliana actually works in - I hit that like button. I see CGB post a video - I hit that like button. I see both of those things together - I guess I just still just hit that like button, but I’m more thrilled about it.
It's so cool that you trust your fans to not think you're haughty for asking us not to abuse the business email but instead know that there will at least be several of us that will learn and do better. Your faith in strangers on the Internet is inspiring!
CGB, big thank you - this deck is the first thing making this Standard fun for me. I was excited for clerics, but that was a bust. This deck isn't my usual style either, but is just a blast.
CGB's face on the advertisement is pure gold. Btw just so you know 3 seasons back I got back to MTG after like a 2 year pause. Your videos have been awesome to get oriented in the meta and I have been able to hit mythic in like four weeks after I returned. Ever since then i havent missed a video you made. Also Id love to see some more Historic, I know its not really what you do, but I found it extremely enjoyable in the past. Keep rollin man your videos are awesome! Its nice to see that even in todays magic there are the players that keep pushing the control strats even tho they might not be great.
Look at Jeff Hooglands RB Titan deck. He played almost the exact list in Ikoria standard. I played the deck til rotation and played every card you play expect for the new cards from zendikar. :D
Most e-mail clients allow you to filter messages. If you think these e-mails have a pretty predictable pattern you can filter them to a folder and not pop in your inbox. I assume they either link a deck or include the full deck. That is probably the best thing to filter for.
Also, it's not a pre-GG when your opponent casts a card that wins the game when you're empty handed. That's just a GG bro. A pre-GG is when they say it 2+ turns before the game is over. You know this.
A pre GG, to me is when an opponent says that shit after dropping an Omnath in on turn 3 with a Cobra. Is that good? Sure. But so is this extinction event. And this graffdigger's gage. You smug phucks. Lol.
Lol I have been pretty hyped about this deck since I started playing it yesterday. There's something about the flexibility and the relatively high consitency of it that really appeals to me. All day I was like 'aw man I can't wait for CGB to make a video about this' and boom, here it is. Thanks for the amazing content you put out there everyday! To me, your content is the exact right mix of entertainment and competitive try-harding. Love your channel, please never stop. ❤️❤️
oh, and like you, for BO1 I felt inclined to up the removal count slightly, aswell as remove the two Terrors (honestly hate that card) and instead try out one maindeck Ox of Agonas aswell as the Cleave. Both have been pretty darn useful everytime I drew them
@@fillyal85 nothing special, I run pretty much this list. Except I only have 1 Tymaret Calls The Dead, so instead I run 2 nighthawk scavengers and, as mentioned, 1 Embercleave.

Yo, leave CGB's email clear. My work email gets slammed for work and I can only imagine this dude's inbox. By the way, great content today again man. Cheers
CGB is proof that you can kick ass at MtG without becoming jaded or salty, and just treat it with the same goofy enthusiasm and love as if you'd picked the game up a week ago.
At 33:40, you should have baited with the Heartless Act instead of the Bonecrusher Giant, that way Stomp resolves instead of fizzling. I was watching and was like wtf how does CGB not see this interaction play out?
It’s so wild because a year, or so, ago when I discovered Mogwai and Merchant, CGB was my least favorite content creator. Now he’s my unquestioned favorite. Best technical you tuber. Prove me wrong.
i smashed this exact build earlier today too with rogues... your rogue build CGB. turn 5. i'm so cool! CGB told me so the last time i said i bested one of his decks... pretty sure he was being sarcastic.
"And we are back for the post game wrap-up" I love hearing this phrase, because it means I've made it to the Kool Kids Klub even at more than 50 years of age
why at 33:45 wouldnt you do heartless act first, make the savior proc, and then bonecrush just so you have the ability to play as a creature still? that should work yeah?
i suppose it makes sense to let it go to grave for kroxa purposes but there would already be enough cards to fish him out and this matchup was needing more bodies rather than graveyard, i think?
@@camcongab765 i mean bonecrusher poofed since the original target was removed from the stack, its a tech play i sometimes do to deny adventure creature players their thing, unsure if its a bug or meant to be but it is fairly consistent at least
At the end you talk about some cards we might consider dropping... but don't give us any alternatives. What would you possibly replace for the Tymaret and the Inscription?
I made a mono black aristocrats deck (pre zendikar rising) that's been crushing its way up to mythic. I won 18 games in a row before I lost. I've faced this deck several times and beat it and the dimir rogues with ease. It can stand against omanth but of course all the life gain from him made it tougher.

My dad accidentally set his roof on fire this week. It lit the insulation in the walls of the main bathroom on fire. It was a mess. We were able to put it out before the fire dept. showed up. Luckily all that was lost was a wall and 3 of my knuckle tattoos.
So am I a bad guy for having Teferi as my avatar? I usually play control or midrange. Only play Aggro when I need to fulfill a quota for the daily quest
You missed keeping a Bonecrusher Giant trying to kill Lurrus. You could've used Heartless Act first, so it got discarded instead. Stomp goes through and you can still use the giant.
Hey CGB mentioned there was a spot where decks that have gone 6 wins in a row in ranked get displayed on a website(I think using mtga assistant), what's that website again? I can't find it.
On his stream on Monday he put Grixis in C Tier and Rakdos in B. Also Rakdos saw play in the Grand Finals this weekend, while Grixis didn't. But you should probably wait, because there are rumours for a ban announcement tomorrow.
Hey you MtG Pros out there, I got a question. Since I'm drafting in Platin, everyone plays this fucking crab and mills me dead. This seriously happend 6 times out of the last 7 games, even my board and hand was much better (but apparently not in the way to handle a 1Drop). Does anyone knows how to interact the best with this? Maybe play my draft with 60 Cards (lol?), or is this card just absurd op?
In the game against mono white, I don't think it was a pre-gg. They had lethal on board, and you had no cards in hand, and no on board effects. The game was over. It's quite possible he wanted to make sure he got it in because the Victory/Defeat screen prevents you from doing it. It WAS a good game.
At 36:10 op should have just sacked the aspirant and attacked for lethal next turn by giving the alseid protection. I really thought CGB had just killed himself by taking 1 from rankle there.
CGB is it possible to create a deck that drains an opponent? I'm thinking Vito + some other stuff so that life-gain becomes life-drain. Any ideas? (also anyone in the comments have a decent one I'm all eyes.... I'd say all ears but I won't be listening, just reading).
Now I finally know what cool stuff Cool Stuff Inc is selling.
"Inappropriate" might be the right word. I watch your videos all the time; actually really excited to see the updated CoolStuffInc. sponsorship! Keep it up, CGB!
"The BEST DECK YOU AREN'T PLAYING" damn right! i haven't played arena in weeks
@@kronozord8346 agreed
33:27 CGB goofed. Should have cast heartless act first so that he ends up with a bonecrusher giant in the adventure zone.
I was going to make the same comment. Small thing but having that extra 4/3 would have made a difference later so it did matter.
@@camcongab765 In the (better) play that Ray Dai suggest, yes; but CGB played it in a way that Stomp (the instant in Bonecrusher) whiffs (never resolves because it no longer can find its target) so the whole card gets discarded.
Teukro I realize that I am dumb now
Sorry guys. But I'm confused. Bone crusher damage cannot be prevented right? I remember this but do correct me.
John Bryan de Gula yes, but indestructible doesn’t prevent the damage, it just makes the creature unable to die. So the creature would just live at 0 toughness

Chandler definitely played magic.
So, nobody told you life was gonna be this way?
Damnit. You beat me to it.

I played the deck til rotation and played every card you play expect for the new cards from zendikar. :D
37:50 Is it a pre-GG? The game is over at that point. I'd like to know if that's considered BM, cause I do it quite often when I spot lethal.
I wouldn't consider it so
That was an honest GG on a obviously leathal attack, CGB simply got pretty salty.
There is a difference who says GGs first.
@@RmFrZQ I pretty much say GG every time I see lethal, wether I'm winning or losing.
@@xavierdugas-frenette2469 if you losing and say GG that is fine, but if you winning and GG the opponent first that is just BM.

Watching that Adventures player mindlessly play their lands when they had a Fae they could have reused was wonderful.
And keep some of them for discard effects that cgb obviously had :D
New cool stuff Inc dot com is looking fresh! And I think the word you're looking for in the outro is entitled
NEW INTRO NEW INTRO INCREDIBLE YES
Have been playing variations of rakdos for weeks. With this version played several games against Omnath, still a very difficult and unfavoured matchup
This looks a lot like the Nassif list without the Ox. Why no love for the Ox CGB?
56:00 how about obnoxious, intrusive, insensitive? any of those fit the bill? I feel yah CGB
"And we are back for the post game wrap-up" I love hearing this phrase, because it means I've made it to the Kool Kids Klub even at more than 50 years of age
Love your content cgb, keep it up buddy
37:55 this was no pre-GG or what am i missing? You had no cards in hand and your last blocker was put in a casket...

33:30 reverse order so he gets to keep giant? or am I missing something
I saw that too
What about Lilianas nightmare instead of inscription?
I like the new coolstuffinc.com sponsorship
@33:22 If you had cast Heartless Act first; you could have kept the adventured Bonecrusher. :/
This word is (in CGB voice): YORION! :-)). Cheers!
i like the new intro for CSI. its good that they have a cardboard cut out of your face. haha ;)
Do you think you can make a deck that utilizes "allure of the unknown" like you did a long time ago, post rotation?
Would you try embercleve in this deck?

like your look on the cool stuff promotion
Took it for a spin. Quick 0-4. Small sample size, but seeing lots of weird off-meta stuff at the bottom of platinum.
CGB if you could craft this list or the Grixis you played a few days ago which would you go for in terms of being most competitive?
On his stream on Monday he put Grixis in C Tier and Rakdos in B.

37 and 10 almost mythic
