I always feel self-conscious about wishing horrible, terrible, borderline criminal things to my opponents when they play stupid decks, but seeing CGB doing the same puts my mind at ease. Thank you, CGB.
i for one actually am somewhat interested in your persistent efforts to find decks that destroy mono red without being worthless against real decks. but i'm also happy you're at a point at a content creator where you can choose to do content that you're more passionate about, as opposed to grinding something you don't actually want to do! just do what feels good, the content you all produce is great, and if you enjoy what you're making it will bleed through and make all the content you do even better
This is such a breath of fresh air after that abomination of your Monored mythic run. Overlords are easily the best part of the new set, they enable so many fun degenerate deck types.
I like that cards like beseech the mirror just say shuffle and not shuffle your deck. I dont want to stand up from the table and start listening to bounce music and dance like we are in 2010's ^^
15:00-20:00 Pretty sure that's what happens when you play on a budget (or intermittently). Don't want to commit to a full playset of every combo piece so you gotta throw in a few deck searches in the mix. Meanwhile, I play on and off for free so I'm still reanimating Etali, Vein Ripper, Calamity, etc with my Scavenger's Talents. Open to suggestions, especially since the finality counters are hitting Vein Ripper hard.
I just started playing MTG arena ,a few days ago , as well as Magic as a whole last month, and pulled a valgavoth . Took one look at it and said, yep that's a lot of words. Didn't realize just how powerful it is.
The most terrifying thing for valgavoth is probably the eldrazi. He's become a part of the house and the house essentially emcompasses the entire plane now. Eldrazi are known for destroying whole planes and I'd argue that you probably cant scare them.
I know its cringe to suggest things for a deck, BUUUT Live or Die belongs in this deck somewhere. 5 mana instant speed ressurrection with option to kill something if you really have to. Ive brought Valgavoth back many times in teaponse to a mill trigger from opponent and watched all those cards go straight under Valgavoth
@@honeybadgerspvp a full reanimator with istant speed that can also destroy a creature with no downside "isnt good enough"??? You clearly havent played enough mtg to have the courage to say such a heresy 💀
Don't lose hope, control mages. When they go low, we go lower. I brewed something I didn't think would work, but I'm blazing through diamond. Mythic by tonight. Doomsday Excruciator, Jace, and nothing else but instant removal and counters (and a few bats). Stay alive, then exile/mill their deck. 80% WR so far, and if the aggros catch on, it will just make them slower.
Oh you beautiful, beautiful, beautiful soul you!!! Last night I was just putting this deck together hahaha were we doing that at the same time? Creeeeeeepy. Looking thru the Duskmourn set it seemed pretty obvious lol Didnt get to even try it out yet and I seen this hahahahaaha perfect!!!
DUDE YHIS DECK HAVE A PROBLEM. Soulless Jailer Phyrexia: All Will Be One (R) Collector #: 241 2 0/4 Artifact Creature - Phyrexian Golem Permanent cards in graveyards can't enter the battlefield. Players can't cast noncreature spells from graveyards or exile. SORRY ITS GG VS THIS DECK :)
Sad that Raffine rotated, conniving is a fun way to get Valgavoth in the yard. Debating getting a copy of it for either that commander deck or just the classic Kaalia
You cant tell me not to feel bad! tbf, that mono-red *is* sometimes entertaining to watch you go against, yes sometimes you(people) just lose to it instantly because of the draw and going second, but... eh. I still enjoy seeing the failure and then it working sometimes. But I get the... pain, of facing them often.
I just played in the first Standard Showdown of this DSK in my LGS using reanimator (a little differently built). Metagame'd monored because even on paper that is the life we have. Won overwhelmingly against one and lost miserably against the other because, we know rean has those bad hands just punished by opp drawing multiple hasty stuff. Hate it but I still love standard now, but I'm with everyone in hoping this monored power creep stops, absolutely brainless stuff they get.
This replacement effect "are exiled instead" is just not working for me sometimes. Even though the mouse should be exiled and I shouldn't get damaged, it's not happening in some of my games, I still take it. Same with some effects that mill cards and put them into your hand/battlefield, they are not going to exile, though they should. Am I missing something? Maybe I am.
I am pretty sure the 4th opponent is one of those domsday excruciator decks that try to mill you to 6 then finish with robbery. never understood why people tried to play this in a meta with jace and founding the third path, looks like a solid way to pay 6 to die
At 22:30, is it necessary to create a mite so you have something to exile for Kaya's -2 ability? Would it not still resolve even if you don't have any creatures like Liliana's +1 when you have no card to discard?
No. The primary effect that must activate is exiling your own creature. Exiling anything else may or may not happen. If it said "each player exiles..." as a single clause then it would work like Liliana's +1
I haven't played mtg much at all since threshold came out. I started Arena recently and these "opponent discards a card" strats are straight toxic. I'm not sure how long I'll be motivated to play this.
You shoud play cynical loner in this deck. It's basically a free tutor for the graveyard. You can put creatures but also cards with flashback 😉 in your graveyard. Plus the fact you can do the combo turn 4 just by having faithful and loner on board is too good.
I have no idea what the game plan is. Can anyone simplify it for me like im 5? I know he's trying to get valgavoth on board but he looks like he's having to go through hoops to do it.
He's BACK! After reinstalling Arena, of course.
Glad to have you back in this world.
Deployed as a medic for the hurricane! Still ain’t missing a CGB video 😎
Stay safe! Thank you for fighting the good fight!
@@dflameX thank you! So far my crew are all safe and sound.
Thank you for your service!
You are amazing
Time to skip the video.....
Sooo mgt arena just got reinstalled huh? 😋
It's like crack, can't stay away
I think you're mistaken -- that was an entirely different person.
Nobody said it wouldn't be reinstalled
If he's anything like me I uninstall every other week Get bored at work and reinstall over and over I've got problems 😂
@@Gary-tn4br yeah, OvertGoRed was a great content creator, it's sad to see him retire to that orphanage in Mexico.
Honestly 33:45 is poetic.
Phyrexian arena, opponent almost wins but it now has an atraxa staring at them and the music swels
I always feel self-conscious about wishing horrible, terrible, borderline criminal things to my opponents when they play stupid decks, but seeing CGB doing the same puts my mind at ease. Thank you, CGB.
You played duress and harvester of misery but it's not in your deck list?
43:28 It's Lightning Helix!!! Oh my god!!!
x2
The best part, even, is the elephant noise!!! LOL
I was looking for this😂
Coulda just blocked the token and won lol
"We all complain, we're magic players." Man's spittin' cold hard facts, here.
We have real CGB back guys, DESTROY THE MONO-RED!
So it begins the road to vanquish mono red out of standard! lets freaking go
I have some deck ideas for that myself
and then leyline combo kills you on turn 2
Protip. Ghost vacuum. You get put against a lot of other graveyard decks in arena. Just need 1
I recently found you through Cimo and I loved your personality and wanted to support you for it. Keep up the great work!
What is como?
CGB make a big red deck to beat mono red!!
Wrong place sorry
@@davisnoah347was a typo lmao I had meant to type Cimo

CovertGoBlue has more willpower than CovertGoRed.
This is the CGB that I like to see! This set has such cool cards and concepts if you overlook the turn 2 decks
This is such a breath of fresh air after that abomination of your Monored mythic run.
Overlords are easily the best part of the new set, they enable so many fun degenerate deck types.
I like how I was wrong about my initial impression of Valgavoth. Thing is a house when reanimated
The arts of these cards are amazing
Didn't take long to reinstall it would seem
Am I missing something? Harvester of Misery is in your hand but not in the deck list.
CBG at 23:18 shocked a spell resolved against a mono black deck. This is what I'm here for. Like Saffron Olive mispronouncing words all the time.
I like that cards like beseech the mirror just say shuffle and not shuffle your deck. I dont want to stand up from the table and start listening to bounce music and dance like we are in 2010's ^^

Where did the Harvester come from in your deck? You did not list it in the beginning
duress too 💀
@43:30 IT'S LIGHTNING HELIX!11!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!1!!11!!!11!!!
There should be considerably more of these posts.
I KNEW IT! I knew that Orzhov would be the secret sauce to take out mono red in standard…
This deck was super fun to watch. More interesting stuff like this please.
"Liliana, I love you!"
She's THE BEST.
The most terrifying thing for valgavoth is probably the eldrazi.
He's become a part of the house and the house essentially emcompasses the entire plane now.
Eldrazi are known for destroying whole planes and I'd argue that you probably cant scare them.
That Liliana TopDeck was unreal.
Good to see you having fun in this meta !
There is so much fun to be had in control. We have rooms and card draw galore. Control has been fun lately
42:31 They must have thought they could pay the ward cost with the bunnies created by season of the burrow
this is madness!!!
“But CGB, I thought you uninstalled?! I thought you couldn’t live here in a Bo1 meta with turn 2 Mono Red?!” NO QUESTIONS
This deck in this meta has been a breath of fresh air. Still don't sure what Kaya does either!
love the new reanimator card that can also be flexible and played as removal instead
I know its cringe to suggest things for a deck, BUUUT Live or Die belongs in this deck somewhere. 5 mana instant speed ressurrection with option to kill something if you really have to. Ive brought Valgavoth back many times in teaponse to a mill trigger from opponent and watched all those cards go straight under Valgavoth
no shot, that card is not good enough
And what would you take off the deck? For curiosity?
In no way is it cringe. Learn what words mean before you use them.
@@honeybadgerspvp a full reanimator with istant speed that can also destroy a creature with no downside "isnt good enough"???
You clearly havent played enough mtg to have the courage to say such a heresy 💀
@@RYUcaEU lmao. Buddy I’m in top 1200 mythic every month but sure 👍🏽I don’t play enough mtg to know what I’m talking about
14:54 after gayning to 31life he concede when he is about to make a comeback...worth it!
Love seeing the intro again!
Any thoughts of using blink effects to remove counters?
Don't lose hope, control mages. When they go low, we go lower. I brewed something I didn't think would work, but I'm blazing through diamond. Mythic by tonight.
Doomsday Excruciator, Jace, and nothing else but instant removal and counters (and a few bats). Stay alive, then exile/mill their deck. 80% WR so far, and if the aggros catch on, it will just make them slower.
Funny how the villain of the story becomes the hero for standard play 😂
4:35 it's always better to be lucky than good
I copied this deck from the link in description, is it different though??
yea he posted the incorrect deck
I so love reanimator, and Valgavoth is such a cool damn card.
Oh you beautiful, beautiful, beautiful soul you!!! Last night I was just putting this deck together hahaha were we doing that at the same time? Creeeeeeepy. Looking thru the Duskmourn set it seemed pretty obvious lol Didnt get to even try it out yet and I seen this hahahahaaha perfect!!!
I feel like this deck could use a 1 of the 2 mana white sorcery that can get back small creatures, or artifacts.
what would you change and or sideboard for b03
Should i go for this deck or the slasher one Hit Deck?
19:40 They don't need to tutor for Valgavoth because it's doomsday excruciator deck. But I don't understand why they didn't tutor for it.
A neat deck a day and it keeps the dark meta thoughts away :)
That selesnya deck looks kinda fun to play though
Edit: It is fun to play. Flying 13/12 toadstools with lifelink win games.
Loved that one !

Permanent cards in graveyards can't enter the battlefield.
Players can't cast noncreature spells from graveyards or exile.
SORRY ITS GG VS THIS DECK :)
The weird monoblack deck with tutors was absolutely a Doomsday Demon deck. Didn't see much milling tho
I bet no one here knows the 'wow' guy is on 3:05 😆 his name is Eddy Wally, a legend in the low countries
That Liliana pull made my day
Great vid and great deck.
Loved the deck
OMG it's Lightning Helix! Twice!
Sad that Raffine rotated, conniving is a fun way to get Valgavoth in the yard. Debating getting a copy of it for either that commander deck or just the classic Kaalia

ok, props for using eddy wally.
This is some Yu-Gi-Oh shit. So CGB is taking NOTES with Cimoo then.
I just played in the first Standard Showdown of this DSK in my LGS using reanimator (a little differently built). Metagame'd monored because even on paper that is the life we have. Won overwhelmingly against one and lost miserably against the other because, we know rean has those bad hands just punished by opp drawing multiple hasty stuff.

New worse unburial rites is still gas.
Yeah! Valgavoth. The other No-Fun card besides the red Leyline!
This replacement effect "are exiled instead" is just not working for me sometimes.

Same with some effects that mill cards and put them into your hand/battlefield, they are not going to exile, though they should. Am I missing something? Maybe I am.
The only obvious thing I can see you might be missing are tokens. (Valgavoth doesn't affect them and they do get their dies triggers.)
@@therealax6 I see, my matches didn't envolve tokens though.
New to the channel. Would absolutely love hearing your thoughts on standard!
26:19 - Bill Hicks reference 😄?
Im surprised he didnt use the new instant rise from the grave...
With Phyrexian Obliterator.
Where is the mono red magic player that we grew to know and love?
I am pretty sure the 4th opponent is one of those domsday excruciator decks that try to mill you to 6 then finish with robbery. never understood why people tried to play this in a meta with jace and founding the third path, looks like a solid way to pay 6 to die
Man I'd need so many wildcards to make this deck :(
Am I being stupid approaching this same idea but using a golgari Kona shell instead?
LIGHTNING HELIX
I really want to see the enchantment deck after that
42:30 opponent should have done that in main phase 2 to keep a permanent but always better to be lucky instead of good lol
At 22:30, is it necessary to create a mite so you have something to exile for Kaya's -2 ability? Would it not still resolve even if you don't have any creatures like Liliana's +1 when you have no card to discard?
No. The primary effect that must activate is exiling your own creature. Exiling anything else may or may not happen.
If it said "each player exiles..." as a single clause then it would work like Liliana's +1
valgavoth is tottaly broken. made a golgari deck mixing it and insidious roots with return from graveyard cards and im simply undefeated
CGB only got to mythic because he used a mono red deck.
Are you brian Fallon from the gaslight anthem?
discovering your page just makes me wish i had the cards to run these fun things. maybe after 1 year of playing if im f2p?
you know with a starting hand involving a target creature, you could pass turn 1 and discard it into the gy. dredge flashbacks anyone ?
You should make a blue, white enchantment deck.
I haven't played mtg much at all since threshold came out. I started Arena recently and these "opponent discards a card" strats are straight toxic. I'm not sure how long I'll be motivated to play this.
Meanwhile im hypermilling to mythic in timeless and historic
When we gonna get a brawl deck with this guy cbg?
I think I'll start running my 4 copies of M20 Leyline of the Void in Bo1
That Liliana of the top was chef's kiss
Maybe standard brewing challenges with friends on arena?
So the format is mono red, and fast ways to drop 1 thing mono red can't handle?
The goal is always to play things mono red can't deal with. If you can't do that mono red runs riot.
You shoud play cynical loner in this deck.
It's basically a free tutor for the graveyard. You can put creatures but also cards with flashback 😉 in your graveyard.
Plus the fact you can do the combo turn 4 just by having faithful and loner on board is too good.
Ugh. This deck has been smashing me on ladder
You had 500,000 gems yesterday. How did you spend 496,000 gems on one day lol? 😂
Lol, funniest deck so far
Does not win by turn two, so after your video from yesterday: what is the point?
You’re watching and commenting on it
I have no idea what the game plan is. Can anyone simplify it for me like im 5? I know he's trying to get valgavoth on board but he looks like he's having to go through hoops to do it.
