I think what I like about your 1-of decks is that you already value card draw and loot and scry very highly, so it works well for your play style. Additionally, you know the format so well, I really enjoy seeing how you play rogue.
Right after I saw this video I opened the game, took out a Rakdos pile I was testing out and immediately got matched against this list lol. We played until I had like 23 cards left in the library and opponent had 14 left. It was a pretty even matchup with a lot of back and forth between boardstates but The Rakdos came out victorious after all. With that said, it could have been the other way around but I had Junji on my side to make everything awkward. The only exile effect they had was a Soul Transfer that they had stolen from the top of my library with Evelyn and they were forced to use that on a Reflection of Kiki-Jiki.
I put The Cruelty of Gix in this list in exchange of a card I didn't have crafted and it works really good when you need to find the card to win the game, also with discard and appraising you should have something juicy in your graveyard pretty often
You know, I played a lot a year ago and quit about a week before Kamigawa came out do to getting too busy. It's very very fun seeing cards like Graveyard Trespasser and Bloodtithe Harvester being meta cards now compared to a year ago when they were considered memes. Rotation is pretty great, it allows for bad cards to become good and good cards to be come bad, shaking up the meta each year, it's very fun.

Happy new year CGB, Just suscribed at this channel, Hope It Will help. I love MTG and still playing It with real cards, I love the way you play magic, I Watch your video to learn and MBM to laugh, BTW HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE, have a good ending and a better starting!!!!!!
So that line gets directly addressed for why it doesn't work - there's an active Wedding Announcement. Shoot the token, Announcement makes another in end step, Lili can only make them sac that and now there's an active Archangel to deal with. Not a good line. Listening to what CGB is talking about often goes a long way.
So I've been really considering this for a minute now. Wouldn't disfigure be a more pertinent card for this meta of mainly creature aggro? Cut down is an insanely good card especially in cube drafts. My problem with it is that it doesn't do all the combat trickts that you can get with disfigure. Generally disfigure is taking out most of the creatures that cut down takes out as well? I'm just wondering why I should choose cut down over disfigure? It's a solid card and it's usually taking out cards that i'm worried about. If i don't get a solid answer to this my head is going to hurt. I'm not extremely new to magic but i'm also not like an old hat with it. I started like 2014, and don't understand the stack completely. Is the stack why disfigure isn't getting used whereas cut down is?
Fundamental issue with disfigure is that it misses around a quarter to a third of the most meta massive value creatures in the 2-3 drop spot that cut down hits, off the top of my head monastery swiftspear with Kumano, raffine, dennick, and skystrike officer. Furthermore, with the very strong suite of 2-cost removal, using disfigure as a combat trick is generally going to 2-for-1 you too often to be relevant, or you’ll run into wards. The advantage apart from that is it hits guardian, I suppose, but that’s still only an a-tier card imo. And after the first time the opponent generally won’t run into a trick again. So what you get is essentially a 1-mana discount on a go for the throat (because there’s not many artifacts that you’ll trick successfully except maybe the odd turn 3 bankbuster when you’re on the play with 2-drops) for the cost of missing a bunch of pretty relevant creatures.
The meta has now officially reached that point where we can say "the meta is currently garbage". Lots and lots of totally uncreative mono reds, mono blacks and mono blues. Too many soldiers, lots of grixis which feel almost 100% copies of each other. This is at least something more creative, which I like. Alchemy is even worse with those oracle azorius decks...
honestly tried this and lost 8 on the trot, so honestly not that fond of this. I think trying the one ofs could work but I honestly dont think this is it.
Never too many Sol Kanars!! 4 Cut down 3 Make disappear 3 Go for the throat 4 Bloodlithe Harvester 4 Bankbusters 1 Liliana of the veil 1 Soul transfer 4 Fable of the mirror breaker 2 Brotherhood's End 4 Corpse appraiser 1 Sheoldred 4 Sol'kanar My sideboard has 3 Ertai Resurrected that are great vs control and good to counter solkanar trigger, but never needed with 4. More sheoldreds, another Brotherhood end, soul transfer, liliana, some abrades, more counterspells, etc.

Dude, this video format is getting so schlick! Perfect balance with intros, outros and shoutout timing!
CGB is short for Covert Grixis Buffet, don't let Big Azorius lie to you

this is the take
Loving grixis in this new standard. Cards are so much more fun to play.
I like how you are making decks with a bunch of 1-ofs lately.
Probably edh/brawl effect ;)
@@luca-bianco It's from all the time CGB spends watching Crokeyz.
Ah yes, the colors of evil
Wish Bolas was in the format...
Bankbuster is such a great card, might be my personal favorite for the year

Man, seeing all those mirrorbreakers, appraisers and harvesters gave me PTSD from todays attempted diamond to mythic climb.
Grixis: comes with a buffet, still steals other people's lunch money.
Perfect.
Made myself a budget version of this deck. It's still fun. Thanks for sharing! :D
A bunch of 1 of's do get a lot better in a deck with 4 Corpse Appraiser, and 4 Fable you can really dig to find them.
I put The Cruelty of Gix in this list in exchange of a card I didn't have crafted and it works really good when you need to find the card to win the game, also with discard and appraising you should have something juicy in your graveyard pretty often
Cruelty does seem a good choice in a deck with this many one-ofs.
@@l33tminion yeah, i tried leveler before Cruelty and it was terrible lol

Painful Quandary is a pain in historic.
I’ve having a lot of fun with an Esper midrange Buffet too. It’s so funny!
i was gonna be content just watching this video but 11:13 earned my like
Happy new year CGB, Just suscribed at this channel, Hope It Will help.

Insane first game👍
I love that 70% of standard is made up of soldiers and grixis.
That's why I'm in explorer and brawl until the next set
Dont forget mono red and Black
Or mono blue, is still there
green mana weeps
Standard is soldiers and mono red. What are you talking about?
Great games with a great deck!
dope deck
CgB, you could've told me before I spent all my wildcards on your other decks lol.
Lot's of Christmas presents I see
Finally, cgb 2
CGB making the holiday fruitcake funky :D love it
first game's already sick
If you played the soldier decks land that u exiled they would have most definitely have scooped out of pure tilt
20:25 If you kill Archangel before the kicked triggers go resolve, doesn't it not do damage though? Or at the very least, it won't gain life?
The damage still happens and they gain life from it.
Runs very well with 2 Evelyn😈😈too much value
15 and 1? I'd like to see that
The perfect deck for a Hbrawl gamer.
Will try this deck cus cgb said I might be the one to strip him of his title. Pt 2
Thanks
Frustrating at 21:00 where you could’ve shot the token and made him sac the angel !
So that line gets directly addressed for why it doesn't work - there's an active Wedding Announcement. Shoot the token, Announcement makes another in end step, Lili can only make them sac that and now there's an active Archangel to deal with. Not a good line. Listening to what CGB is talking about often goes a long way.
I wonder if Grixis Buffet is till good in 2023 after Phyrexia All will be one came out. Maybe it's too slow for a poison deck.
I swear, every single control deck I run into in standard ladder just plays red only to splash fable.
Mid-West WOOT!

No wonder CGB is so excited. Grixis is just another shade of mono Red.
🌊🌑🔥
The evelyn was spicy
put 2 evelyn, too much value , 1-solkanar
2nd game I would have been tempted to play their land just to taunt them.
i'm lovin it
I've been trying to play this deck and I just cannot get wins with it :L
Same for me. It must be the deck's fault :)
CGB can with even with mediocre decks.
The meta has now officially reached that point where we can say "the meta is currently garbage". Lots and lots of totally uncreative mono reds, mono blacks and mono blues. Too many soldiers, lots of grixis which feel almost 100% copies of each other. This is at least something more creative, which I like. Alchemy is even worse with those oracle azorius decks...

I want meatball back in standard
Bladecoil serpent = busted
Very nice deck.
I think you have good luck with grixis because you’re not a grixis mage. As a grixis mage myself , I get constantly screwed lol
Nice
That is a funky fruitcake
Yo
🍎
😎
Idk what meta you are in but Soldiers clown on this deck.
IMO too many 1 of's. My grixis deck that's barely been losing has 4 Sol Kanars, 4 bankbusters, and 4 cut downs.
too many sol kanars
Instead of which cards? :)
Never too many Sol Kanars!!
4 Cut down
3 Make disappear
3 Go for the throat
4 Bloodlithe Harvester
4 Bankbusters
1 Liliana of the veil
1 Soul transfer
4 Fable of the mirror breaker
2 Brotherhood's End
4 Corpse appraiser
1 Sheoldred
4 Sol'kanar
My sideboard has 3 Ertai Resurrected that are great vs control and good to counter solkanar trigger, but never needed with 4. More sheoldreds, another Brotherhood end, soul transfer, liliana, some abrades, more counterspells, etc.
You also need a good amount of pain lands and some basics. Your turn 2 is very important on the draw vs aggro.
You know where you don’t get mana screwed? In Flesh and Blood, the superior card game
Just tried this deck utter garbage
Another boring fable deck
Snooze
