yeah apparently spree is counted as a casting cost first before reduction, so haughty djinn reduce those cost. I guess cgb didn't realize in the heat of the moment that's how it works.
Your deck techs are informative (at least for those of us with less experience etc), your collabs are entertaining. So I'm glad of either. Hope whatever's going on for you works out for the good.
LegenVD made a video on this deck but tuned more to beat monored, so that list might do better in best of one. Basically he included more 1 mana answeres to the red attackers.
I played vs an Eye deck, and I survived long enough for them to deck themselves with all that Dread manifestations. I even recorded it for bragging rights
1:36 Ironically, as a Mythic, this card is far easier for me to craft Most decks use tons of Rares, but not a whole lot of Mythics (usually), so I end up with tons of Mythic wildcards (And even if a deck does have a lot of Mythics, I usually don’t craft it due to having no Rare wildcards to craft whatever Rares that deck may also require)
Hope your situation resolves and you start feeling better CGB. The collaboration content is great! Definitely am enjoying the variety of content in addition to the standard videos.
Hey cgb, I was thanoscar! Really cool to get to see myself in one of your videos, good game and I hope everything will go great for you outside of magic
Dude, it's awesome you can make content while going through stuff. Coping sometimes means recovering and stepping back, and by all means take your time. I for one enjoy the content with others, if only Merchant would come back like Mogwai. Still, you do you, keep it going, and thanks for the content my dude! :)
I love this deck, I've been playing the "mentor version" with some Geralfs, also been testing a patched plaything to see how it runs and it seems pretty strong, especially when you recommission it as a 5/4 double striker. But i dont know what you would reasonably cut to put more of them in, but it's a decent budget option if you dont have all your Peeps crafted yet.
As Ash said in her video, while Peeps cannibalizes the graveyard for Djinn, it also feeds the graveyard with constant manifesting. So not necessarily anti-synergy.
I've found this deck ends up with wierd consistency issues in Azorius colours. The card draw cards just don't put enough into the bin to either fuel the Djinn or to reliably hit creatures. Going bant for another 4-mill at minimum might help. You also need more than 8 creatures to ensure you reliably hit them early, so the 4/4 angel or the 5/4 trampler in green can be worth it.
Why bother being worried about a 3-5% chance and over-preparing for it? Just take the loss and go to the next game, or Floodmaw the creature they dumped their entire hand into and watch them scoop anyway.
Whatever is going on in your life, we support you, CGB! Take care of yourself first so you can keep bringing us awesome content! And as always, thanks for taking care of us Blue players.😉🙌
so not sure why I haven't seen it more often but meathook massacre II brigs back permanent cards that were placed on the battle field from manifest dread like Valgovath or Atraxa, even enchantments, artifacts, battle spells. I'm not sure about lands though
Ahhh. CGB back in blue. The world makes sense again. I've been having a lot of fun with my Golgari Midrange deck. Built from your golgari Turtle list. Heavy on mill and removal with some sick recursion for repeated value. Witches Vanity is a really useful saga that is kind of a situational superstar for the deck. I think it's slept on. Perhaps a revisit in the future? It absolutely crushes leyline mono red.
There's a Djinn in the graveyard clearly showing the power is 9 and he still miscounted. Then missed the three steps ahead at 9:20. So many misplays game 1.
can you try this deck, Ive been using this to climb to diamond and I wanna see how good it is on mythic 33 cards 4 overlord of mistmoors 4 caretakers talent 4 deduce 4 no more lies 4 not on my watch 4 three steps ahead 3 get lost 3 split up 3 sunfall 27 lands 3 plains 4 island 4 fabled passage 4 fountainport 4 floodfarm verge 4 seachrome coast 4 meticulous archive
i havent played this deck but iv played AGAINST my fair share in mythic b01 and found the monastery>djinn version more resilient due to the go wide back-up nature but maybe that's just anecdotal and not real
The Monastery Mentor seems like the more synergistic build, because then the Oculus isn't cannibalising the play pattern. But I can honestly see an argument each way.
Probably because everyone is over-preparing for MonoRed that they have a glut of single-target removal but not enough boards wipes to deal with "go wide" strategies. That's been my experience anyway playing Volgavoth and why I run Harvester of Misery in it.
While I respect ya straight pulling Ash's list, I think this deck is better with Monastery Mentor over Djinn in Bo1, especially with a little other "pre-boarding." LVD played a version the other day I think is the Bo1 list of choice.
I kind of felt the same at first but I played the mirror a couple times last night and it was a really fun matchup. Make sure to board Kutzil’s flanker if you’re playing BO3 I think with multiple content creators championing this deck, each talking about how it’s fun and beats RDW, it’s bound to be popular 🤷♂️
Question I just noticed that theres a bug or something not right in arena, I wanted to make the new zimone commander and there’s another zimone instead they aren’t the same cards what’s the deal
Make sure you've set the correct format. I wanted to craft a card that was legal in Standard but it wouldn't show up at all without setting the format to Standard.
@@ForeverLaxx I did and I checked with a couple people live streaming arena. They said there’s a lot of cards that don’t end up in Arena cause they’re too powerful like that commander
Been so long sense I've seen new Eyeballs creatures. Even better that it's not Black. They ALWAYS seem to be black. Last was Black and Transformable. All Ulborg Eye Creatures was Black with no other Eyes in Other colors. Getting tired of Eyeball Creatures in One color. This made my day!❤
Hoping all the personal life issues you’re having workout for the best. Thank you for the continued content even through tumultuous time.
missed lethal on game one. discounted three steps to draw discard
Yeah, at 9:21
Yeah, I was wondering about that, because three steps was highlighted like it was playable.
yeah apparently spree is counted as a casting cost first before reduction, so haughty djinn reduce those cost. I guess cgb didn't realize in the heat of the moment that's how it works.
Playing on Arena would have saved me on this one.
I noticed the card highlighted in CGB's hand, and knew it could somehow be played at that moment.
@@opposite342can't you just cast the card without choosing any spree choices?
Wishing you strength in dealing with this situation, whatever it may be!
Current Meta
collapse of game that fuels channel.
SimplyMTG nicknamed this deck "Hand eye coordination" due to Helping Hand and Oculus. I like it.
Strictly Better MtG also showed support for that name. It's catching on!
Vecna Lives!
This is top 5 deck names. Up there with cheerios, pickles, boat brew and quick n' toast.
@@ender4101 I actually meant Strictly Better MTG, not sure how I dropped the ball so hard on his name lol
@@kithkindeck what the hell is quick n' toast? and does it have to do with Quicken
Your deck techs are informative (at least for those of us with less experience etc), your collabs are entertaining. So I'm glad of either. Hope whatever's going on for you works out for the good.
Oh gooood the screaming at 09:20 when you could've cast the 3-steps with cost reduction from the Djinn...
Even the best makes mistakes.
I am glad I am not the onlyone yelling at my computer, "Play the three-steps." lol
I was as well haha.
He was three steps behind.
Rarran is absorbing CGB's skill like the basketball from Space Jam.
Sending positive energy to get through what's going on. Thank you for the content.
LegenVD made a video on this deck but tuned more to beat monored, so that list might do better in best of one. Basically he included more 1 mana answeres to the red attackers.
9:23 what are you doing! You had Three Steps Ahead mana and it would have grown the Djinn to lethal power!
Ashlizzles funky brews have honestly been a blast to see recently and a suprising amount of them play pretty decently
I played vs an Eye deck, and I survived long enough for them to deck themselves with all that Dread manifestations. I even recorded it for bragging rights
33:42 don’t worry editor never cuts out dead time, we get to see all the opponents who rope
2:00 thanks for your transparency ❤
Sorry to hear life's dealing a bum hand right now, wishing you all the best

I really appreciate your uploads CGB and I hope things go well for you so you can get things back on schedule. Great gameplay as always!
Good luck with the life situation - you've got this! We'll be here! :D Awesome deck!!
Hope your situation resolves and you start feeling better CGB.
The collaboration content is great! Definitely am enjoying the variety of content in addition to the standard videos.
Was wondering what was going on with the channel, thanks for the update! Definitely was missing the gameplay 💜
Black will always be the coolest but these white/blue decks are looking fun.
Hey cgb, I was thanoscar! Really cool to get to see myself in one of your videos, good game and I hope everything will go great for you outside of magic
Wishing you the best and strength in your struggles. Thank you for the content as always
I am glad that so many of us seen the 3 steps in game one and were probably yelling at the screen.
I was screaming to loot with three steps. I get really into it…
Hope everything is going well in your life CGB! But I must say, the collabs video are a ton of fun to watch!
Dude, it's awesome you can make content while going through stuff. Coping sometimes means recovering and stepping back, and by all means take your time. I for one enjoy the content with others, if only Merchant would come back like Mogwai.
Still, you do you, keep it going, and thanks for the content my dude! :)
big fan of reanimate theme here, any ideas how to make patched plaything work in this kind of deck?
That was fun! Cant wait to see CGB play with the boros aura deck
What's great is if you splash into black, you get more removal and you get to play Satoru. Which triggers on every manifest dread
I love this deck, I've been playing the "mentor version" with some Geralfs, also been testing a patched plaything to see how it runs and it seems pretty strong, especially when you recommission it as a 5/4 double striker. But i dont know what you would reasonably cut to put more of them in, but it's a decent budget option if you dont have all your Peeps crafted yet.
*The Eye of Cthulu has awoken!*
i like the collabs alot and the magic story times too :)
Man i been fiending for these standard videos
After seeing enough of the one-deck meta, I was happy to see the collabs for a change. But it's nice to see some new gameplay too. Variety is nice!
As Ash said in her video, while Peeps cannibalizes the graveyard for Djinn, it also feeds the graveyard with constant manifesting. So not necessarily anti-synergy.
Sorry to hear your going through stuff, hope its all resolved soon! Thanks for the entertainment.
This is one of the most fun decks to watch and to play - many decisions and a bit of RNG to keep things intriguing.
I've found this deck ends up with wierd consistency issues in Azorius colours. The card draw cards just don't put enough into the bin to either fuel the Djinn or to reliably hit creatures. Going bant for another 4-mill at minimum might help. You also need more than 8 creatures to ensure you reliably hit them early, so the 4/4 angel or the 5/4 trampler in green can be worth it.
I opened two of the oculus so kinda neat to see it being used, time to watch the video and see how it goes tho :D
Even the Djinn in the graveyard told you what its power would be.
Ashlizzle version is not build for BO1, it is to slow to compete against T2 win RDW. There is a better version from LVD especially for BO1
Why bother being worried about a 3-5% chance and over-preparing for it? Just take the loss and go to the next game, or Floodmaw the creature they dumped their entire hand into and watch them scoop anyway.

Thinking of you and your situation brother. I hope it resolves itself in a healthy way

Deck list?
UW looking a lot like GB with all the graveyard shenanigans!
This deck is prob my fav for the set. I enjoy me some tempo. I made slight changes for BO1 lets see how you do base in BO1.
There's a Djinn in the graveyard clearly showing the power is 9 and he still miscounted. Then missed the three steps ahead at 9:20. So many misplays game 1.
It's almost like people are human and make mistakes
I love hearing mesa falcon guy call abhorrent occlus 'peeps' as well. 😂
Regardless of the situation I'd love to see you play some of the best brews from people like ash and crokeyz
can you try this deck, Ive been using this to climb to diamond and I wanna see how good it is on mythic
33 cards
4 overlord of mistmoors
4 caretakers talent
4 deduce
4 no more lies
4 not on my watch
4 three steps ahead
3 get lost
3 split up
3 sunfall
27 lands
3 plains
4 island
4 fabled passage
4 fountainport
4 floodfarm verge
4 seachrome coast
4 meticulous archive
I think I like LVD's version of this deck better too.
For what it is worth, the colabs are great
And I'm kind of a recent player, so I get play along with cimoooooo or rarran
This deck is so much fun!!! As a bonus, it is really good against red leyline.
This deck is so fun until you manage to draw 9 straight lands and miss every single eye/djinn discard by 1
To be honest I have been loving the collab stuff

So excited for Haughty Djinn to rotate in… *does math*… I dunno like 7 years. Ugh.
Do you remember when Oculus rocketed up to 39 dollars?
I do.
Behold the great eye do not stare upon the pupil for their lies a maw
@cgb I hope everything is okay and I will be praying for you!
19:10 you could've passed and discard Oculus to hand size.
I always appreciate you CGB 🎉
While I respect ya straight pulling Ash's list, I think this deck is better with Monastery Mentor over Djinn in Bo1, especially with a little other "pre-boarding." LVD played a version the other day I think is the Bo1 list of choice.
The UW Mentor mirror match is the only reason I don't craft that deck, eff that
I'll watch any of your stuff.
I don't like playing against the Oculus. It leaves me SEE-thing.
Yeah i was worried about this one.
the collabs are dope
been playing this deck for the last 3-4 days, mocking bird goes better in it x3 and x1 on the big eye
So you cut Djinn ? Mocking bird feels bad in hand when you have nothing to copy.
Hope all is well C!
I ever so do like the D.I.B.o.O. Series
first thing I did when I build the deck: throw out the adrakar wastes.And thats even for bo1
Game 1, could you have played the Three Steps without any of the modes in order to get one more instant into your graveyard?
You need to pick a mode but it's still possible with the djin discount.
Where is a good place to find good deck lists?
couldn't he have just played 3 steps without a spree to have gotten djinn to 10?
blue/white, get a snack and appreciate
Well I was enjoying no mirror matches ...
I kind of felt the same at first but I played the mirror a couple times last night and it was a really fun matchup. Make sure to board Kutzil’s flanker if you’re playing BO3

@@tony_darkness I actually took out flanker in the sideboard for 4x of negate. At least in my meta I side in negate everytime
@@Jgibbs093 Nice! Also obviously very good in the mirror.
Hey, don't know what's going on. Don't need to know, but I hope it all turns out well.
Like and comment as support for life situations! Hope all is well
Which vid is this from?
why no flicker?
If only there was a djinn in the yard telling you it was 9 dmg... Or you had a spell you could have cast to make 10... 😅
Is this ashlizzles deck?
''coping with life situation'' finally karma for playing blue for years
Blue for Bones
You were so hyper focused on game one you forgot your three steps ahead can be casted.
Cynthia Courts
Pls, make a dimir mill deck😭🙏
Three Steps Ahead?
No questions.
Question I just noticed that theres a bug or something not right in arena, I wanted to make the new zimone commander and there’s another zimone instead they aren’t the same cards what’s the deal

@@ForeverLaxx I did and I checked with a couple people live streaming arena. They said there’s a lot of cards that don’t end up in Arena cause they’re too powerful like that commander
More evidence that the only cards that need to be banned in all formats are Plains.
Got smushed by this deck over the weekend, not pleasent
One could say you got, WASTED in the first game
that will be all for me, see you in the next video
Finally a real video again.
Hey man, hope you're ok with the other things going on in your life.
9:24 why u no play three steps ahead to growth djinn?
Been so long sense I've seen new Eyeballs creatures. Even better that it's not Black. They ALWAYS seem to be black. Last was Black and Transformable. All Ulborg Eye Creatures was Black with no other Eyes in Other colors. Getting tired of Eyeball Creatures in One color. This made my day!❤
I hate that "Fear of Surveillance" isn't also an Eye. All the "Fear of" creatures are just Nightmares and nothing else.
Ash would know better, but eye+djin seems counterintuitive. I guess this way you have all flying threats, but going wide also has its merits...
you never cast eye, you only rez it so it works fine with djinn.
Eye also fills your graveyard back up pretty fast with its manifest dread so i think the synergy is a little better than it seems
The only time you're casting the Eye is when you're desperate and very behind. In that situation you're probably about to lose either way.
Take care
