@@roshandala Nah, it's totally gotta be 150 card Standard. Gotta have that high roll of hitting a 4-of Bridge into JinnyG out of 150 cards. And then win the game.
well they say reading the card explains the card, but since cards like illusionary mask and chains of mephistoles I started to doubt that wisdom, and just trust my opponent till it gets too weird then I ask for a judge
Ain't gonna lie control feels so dirty when u don't get to play the game but u know what also prevents u from playing magic also mono Red dumb poison toxic soldiers..... No one can tell me that those aggro players don't want to see the world burn new cards and the dudes actually decide not to even try playing a single new card it's beyond me how they do it
The cool part about proliferate in today's Standard is it's interaction with Sagas - being able to proliferate at instant speed means you can also trigger your sagas as combat tricks or for their abilites, or even just advancing your play a turn ahead to catch opponents with their guard down. Being able to flip certain sagas into blockers like Restoration of Eiganjo or adding a counter to Kami War to return a permanent to their owners hand at instant speed can offer some cool interaction for more controlling decks.
I played a list like a year or two ago that was centered around this, but it also removed counters from sagas with cards like Hex Parasite. It was an Esper control list. Repeatedly wiping the board with Phyrexian Scriptures was brutal.
RATS We're rats We're the rats We prey at night We stalk at night We're the rats I'm the giant rat that makes all of the rules Lets see what kind of trouble we can get ourselves into 4/5 - Magic The Noah
If you listen closely, you can hear cgb's soul getting crushed, as he realizes how busted any kind of aggro is compared to control, no matter how bad the deck is. Just play you highlighted cards on curve and press the orange button, cgb, wotc commands it.
Fun deck and fun games you had there. Love it. I appreciate that you do also this kind of challenging for-fun-only content and bring it to the next level.
Hey CGB, I'm TCTopps with the Jace deck. Meant the GG as a friendly 'was exciting to play you' GG. I'll take it back- hope we're still cool 🕶. Almost got run over by the RATS 🐀🐀🐀. Also it was my first game trying out your Jace control deck after crafting 4, pretty cool to get paired against you immediately. Thanks for all the content!
I dont know how Hard that is to do but I just started the game and have almost no cards, Day 2 I hit plat(including playing the tutorial? Color challange), doesnt seem like a very high skillceling. After that I only did some dailys to get some cards. Now with The reset and new cards i played to plat in my first session, yet not with a well made deck. I think ill play some more ranked this time to see where ill end up. I also beat my friend multiple Times when he play a deck he use in Mytic? I guess at some point it gets harder? Or is it just the nature of the game? Grinding cards seems really slow, would be fun to get enough cards for some Nice combo of cards :D
@@Luftbubblan From bronze to gold it's easier to climb the ladder cause every victory gives you 2 points and every loss takes away one point. From platinum to mithyc its a little harder cause the ratio is 1:1. But if you get a good deck, play some solid time everyday (especially if the matches last less than 5 minutes), it's not that hard to climb the ladder, you just need to be consistent (that's the hard part). That said, what's impressive about CGB is that it climbs the ladder with a bunch of different decks.
Holy shit, he built it. I’m a big rat fan, if you couldn’t tell by the profile picture, and my initial version of this deck was Dimir, splashing blue for Silver-Fur Master since so many rats were ninjas - I opted not to play the saga rats. I’ll definitely try this version :0
Thanks for playing RATS CGB!!! I suggested you play them on your Historic Brawl stream & enjoyed your cringe-worthy response. I appreciate that you put your 5-brain to work constructing & playing this deck in a much tougher standard (Rats is over 50% win rate in Historic Brawl). GCB, you are the greatest!
CGB: "we get to do some cool things here, let me show you" Me: "wait... Surely he should cast it pre-combat to proliferate, take the rats and attack in? Well, I look forward to seeing what trick he has up his sleeve this time" CGB: "SORCERY?!?" Hahaha, happens to the best of us
One thing I'm disappointed about in Standard at least is when they add obvious tribal cards like Karumonix but there is very little support for it in the format. It could be fun jank if it had like 2 more cards that were actually viable
I appreciate that you don't draft even though the work it takes to keep pumping out new decks is probably a lot. Your gameplay continues to be the most amusing and informative portion of my favorite hobby. And despite you not hitting the "random content button" that is draft, you still stay fresh even when you're updating old lists.
This looked like CGH was having a lot of fun. That makes for entertaining content, at least for me, when they are just playing sub-optimal decks but really doing decent and enjoying themselves.
You know as much as a meme as this deck is, and it's truly a meme, I love rats too much not to try it. I've actually had pretty good success with it. The key has been Vraska. She makes it really that much better. Extra removal, proliferation, pure joy.
Hey CGB, how about a rat follow-up video with the awesome rats from Wilds of Eldraine included? I've been tearing up Bo1 lately with this list: 4 x Cut Down 4 x March of Wretched Sorrow 4 x Go for the Throat 4 x Nazumi Informant 4 x Tangled Colony 3 x Lord Skitter, Sewer King 4 x Lord Skitter's Butcher 4 x Voracious Vermin 3 x Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor 4 x Karumonix, the Rat King 20 x Swamp 2 x Takenuma Super secret "tech" play is turn 2 Tangled Colony, turn 3 at opponent's EOT we cast March of Wretched Sorrow on our own Tangled Colony (exiling extra black cards in hand to make X a LOT) then turn 4 drop Karumonix to refill our hand, and possibly win on the spot with poison counters if the X in our March was 10 or more. Sometimes the card draw from Karumonix and Gix let's you play like the old "free spell necro" extended deck. (1999 was a long time ago...)
I tried your deck as per this video, I myself am a old school player yes its cheesy but for a beginner player this is an easy deck to pilot and win with I took the Horobi saga out and went with the undying 1 drop instant got a 6/6 Rotbelly rat after a bunch of interactions and crushed it with a 6/6 Rotbelly. It's actually a fun deck to play I have yet to win with poison the deck just puts out to many threats for removal to get everything.
Had to leave the livestream in the middle of the rat chanting. Did he play it live? Anyhow, I'm really looking forward to try to build a rat commander, that will be a sight to see
Rats? I hate rats. Rats make me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once. They put me in a little white room. I died in that little white room. They barried me 6ft under. There were rats there. Rats? I hate rats!
Deathtouch and Lifelink even work with abilities (ie. "this creature deals x damage to y"). They are just short forms for "whenever this deals damage, ...". Eg. Trample doesn't work with fights (except that one card that specifically says it), but that's just because in a fight there are no attackers and blockers, and not because fighting "disables" keywords.
Sub count: 169,389 | Pay your taxes

For flavor reasons, obviously.

Also CGB:
Those streams were so fun. I love how we persuaded CGB to serve our rat overlords 🐁🧀
13:20, oh my goodness, getting a TAIL SWIPE, with your RAT! It’s perfect. Rattata used Tail Whip, but it actually does damage like in the show.
CGB’s counting the minutes until he can play blue white jace control again…
I'm thinking Esper. Cut Down and Jace are just good of friends too split them up.
@@sammysammyson I used Drown in Ichor and Cut Down to kill Sheoldred once lol
Why can't he!

I just made a Kami deck last night it’s really fun to have all colors at your disposal I hadn’t thought to use proliferate
From an entertainment standpoint, this is one of your best videos ever CGB
"IT'S SORCERY!!??"
Thank you, I am here for this
Its a freaking rat deck... what he expected? Lol
RATS

Ah, nice to see a fellow ratlover! I`ve been a fan of rats ever since the kamigawa set with Patron of the Nezumi. Loved that card just because lol
@27:04 LOL this dudette in a nutshell
I‘m so happy chat was finally able to bully you into playing this 🐀
This was one of your best commentary videos. Amazing job
As a rat person i realy enjoyed this one

Cgb: read the card nerd
Also cgb: SORCERY!?
This is one of the first times it looked like you actually had to try in order to win.
I recommend playing all kinda decks
I even play my least favorite, blue, sometimes
Some of the best rats are just the deathtouch
"I don't recommend you craft any of this!"
I crafted them as my first set craft 30 minutes before you made it on Twitch. No regrets.
You mean no regrats, right?
realy funny intro had me chuckle good :)
ggs!
Happy retirement!
I know some won't give a RAT'S ASS, but I'll miss you
rat jank.... a meme deck that can actually win!
This seems like the best toxic deck I've seen so far, shouldn't surprise me that it's mono black.
Drinking game: take a sip everytime cgb says rats.
Thanks for talking me out of playing Rats!
Now this is a deck I can get behind, I wish I had wildcards for this
27:00 NOOOO CGB IT'S SORCERY SPEED, NOOOOOOOOO! ;w;
He didn't hear me . w.
Admit it cgb. You had a little fun with the rats!
You know as much as a meme as this deck is, and it's truly a meme, I love rats too much not to try it. I've actually had pretty good success with it. The key has been Vraska. She makes it really that much better. Extra removal, proliferation, pure joy.

Hey CGB, how about a rat follow-up video with the awesome rats from Wilds of Eldraine included? I've been tearing up Bo1 lately with this list: 4 x Cut Down
4 x March of Wretched Sorrow
4 x Go for the Throat
4 x Nazumi Informant
4 x Tangled Colony
3 x Lord Skitter, Sewer King
4 x Lord Skitter's Butcher
4 x Voracious Vermin
3 x Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor
4 x Karumonix, the Rat King
20 x Swamp
2 x Takenuma
Super secret "tech" play is turn 2 Tangled Colony, turn 3 at opponent's EOT we cast March of Wretched Sorrow on our own Tangled Colony (exiling extra black cards in hand to make X a LOT) then turn 4 drop Karumonix to refill our hand, and possibly win on the spot with poison counters if the X in our March was 10 or more. Sometimes the card draw from Karumonix and Gix let's you play like the old "free spell necro" extended deck. (1999 was a long time ago...)
Looks like RATS! are what you needed to achieve 169.420. CongRATS!
I think you had them at 18:35 even if they wiped you with Invoke Despair.. you had the Mishra's Foundry with the pump for the win
*_There were rats, rats, big as blooming cats
In the Quartermaster’s Stores_*
Lol. Excellent. Amazing. Fantastic.
Good job chat.
Rat King would be the most busted 3-drop in standard... if it had actually decent targets to search for :p
I would like to see a historic brawl deck with Karumonix too that would be interesting
Oops, all rat colony. (Not that interesting I'd say.)
I am unironically going to make this deck and I have no shame in saying it
I watched the live one so I'll let it play in the background for the watch time. Rats!!!
I tried your deck as per this video, I myself am a old school player yes its cheesy but for a beginner player this is an easy deck to pilot and win with I took the Horobi saga out and went with the undying 1 drop instant got a 6/6 Rotbelly rat after a bunch of interactions and crushed it with a 6/6 Rotbelly.

About time Standard is back on the menu 😤
Yes! Everyone needs more rodents in their life, they are so cute.
Was wondering why I saw this deck earlier lol.. felt bad destroying them
Rat’s off to ya 🎉
This was such a trip to watch Live

Liliana doesn't fit because of Horobi, I feel. So good choice.
