We lost him to the toxic gang. Poor CGB got compleated :(
He might always has been a sleeper agent tho 👀
1.69.420 😈
Compleated by vorinclex, hate to see it
LMAO!
All will be one.
Rotpriest is the entire justification for Minor Misstep in the format
Large brain moment
Not to mention the noticeable leap in power and versatility of spot removal
It honestly should be banned. More consistent and oppressive than trickery, basically playing solitaire.
"I'm not letting you off the hook, Seth. It's going on the internet."
(Opening line of SaffronOlive's villain origin story)
I was worried about infect making it back into standard, but I didn't realize we were actually getting storm
There were some scenarios where you were letting the fading hope resolve on ivy and replaying ivy but you could respond to your own fading hope with another instant. Even if the initial spell fizzles or whatever the targeting has already happened and rot priest triggers. So you could fading hope, then with fading hope on the stack cast shore up.
19:31: As a wise man once said, Magic is easy, just draw what you want. RIP Merchant, miss your vids man.
What hapoened to Merchant?
@@nicow6808 As far as I know, he stopped making content to focus on other things
Merchant was one of the creators I first started watching when I first got really into MtG. What a guy, sad he stopped making videos. 💔
He made a magic one a few weeks ago btw! Might be on twitch
agreed bro, his videos were class- mtg arena youtube took a heavy blow when he left
Love the crafting recommendations at the end! How to make this budget should be a regular feature for your standard vids, would love that!
I genuinely love seeing a simic deck again after all these years. This isn't the ramp Arjuna wanted, but I'm just so glad to see green and blue together again in standard
I've always loved the Heroic mechanic, so having a strong deck like it makes me excited for the set to come out
Ivy was already a grossly under appreciated powerhouse, this has just made her into a monster!
Literally every 2nd deck in standard uses Ivy + Rotpriest combo at the moment. Its completely unplayable, op just has to play a couple protection spells and its gg. Is it already time to ban him?
Finally seeing this in action is just as upsetting as I expected. Did a kamagawa draft recently and rare drafted two blue marches and one of the green in anticipation.
I feel like the rot priest has the chance to get banned. It may not be the best card of the set but I bet that it will be so "toxic" that there will be an outcry to ban it.
At least Luminator Virtuoso had to actually attack in
I think if it only triggered from opponent spells it'd be fine, but triggering from your own is the problem that makes me agree it'll need banning (unless something can keep it in check).
@@ella6547 If it only was when it was the target of spells you cast it'd be fine, but since it is whenever any creature you or your opponents target, it's not ok.
It encourages boardwipes and hates on black midrange decks that have been dominating the format, it’s much needed imo
@@Kevin-rn5ho Problem with most board wipes is that there's so much indestructibility for 1 mana in green, and by the time you hit Farewell you're dead to poison
Told my friends that Ivy/Rotpriest was going to be a crazy combination! The rendition on this video is just crazy! I plan to run a similar deck, including a Mirror Box in order to have a couple of Ivy's on the floor going crazy.
Seth making that blunder was pretty funny. Wonder if it shows up on mtgGoldfish
Given yesterday's video, I expected this
Same ^_^ but excited to see him gritty- poison qq's tasty
I'm really digging this. Easily my favorite color combo. Was trying to figure out a way to break the rotpriest
There's a few new cards that could work really well in this deck. Unctus, Grand Metatect might be a nice addition, since it lets you target your own creatures for 1 compleated blue mana and gives you card selection as well. Or the Mercurial Spelldancer which can't be blocked, gets oil counters and lets you use those to copy your next spell. The new Infectious Bite is basically Bite Down with Toxic and could be worth here. Can't wait to actually try all those cards and their synergies!
The Rotpriest only works with spells rather than abilities, so Unctus unfortunately won't trigger it
Ah yes, I can’t wait to see this on ladder. Opponent plays solitaire while I watch. Fun!
You will get to put cards down and even attack a few times! They probably won’t even block!
I mean Arena is basically just slightly more interactive solitaire.
try vintage sometime
At the end of that last game, it was correct to slip out the back regardless of if you suspected he had a board wipe because you had lethal with the shore up on the next turn
This intro reminds me of star trek generations:
"Why don't I still have access to the cards?"
"The cards? They don't arrive until Tuesday"
This deck is going to be everywhere come launch! I think I'd try swapping the bushwhacks out for bite down to make the fights safer for your creatures and allow you to burst down a planeswalker at instant speed.
You can always combo the bushwhacks with protection spells and they did seem to draw lands much of the time. I'm a bit more interested in fitting Giant Growth in the deck since it seems flying damage is a large % of the wins.
I feel like people on ladder might lose interest though for losing because they can't play things in the right order every time. Like CGB panics on whether or not playing certain cards is enough, so I feel like average ladder player will miss the line in those moments (like bouncing and replaying your things).
Then again maybe it still just wins enough even missing the tight plays.
@@WrightJustice1991 Yeah. Honestly this is my favorite thing about the deck, I love making complicated sequencing decisions (my favorite archetypes are Tempo, Prowess and Heroic), and if it turns out to be good, I will certainly be crafting it.
he has just 20 lands in the deck, so the bushwhacks are there more as a land-replacements, that could also target if no more lands where needed
@@WrightJustice1991 I think the poison counter math gets easier fairly fast. It's a very limited amount of relevant effects.
This just in: Seth never pays the 1.
So I was thinking about your comment about people not watching the intro. What I think that may be is, people watch the gameplay, decide if they like the play pattern, then the smart ones who like it, go watch the intro to learn about the interactions. Just my two cents, I think having the explanation is a good thing.
Love your work, love your show! Keep up the good work man! Glad to see the new cards they look like a lot of fun. Hope you're doing well!
Most people watching these videos are already entrenched in mtg and don't need to be told how the deck works. 99% of decks on Arena are pretty simple since they don't include the older cards. What we need the deck tech portion for?
@Tony Smith I take it you missed the game where I don't think it was this video but the one before when someone net decked cgb's deck and sat on mox amber for like half the game? 😆
Such a cool Oil counter game. I was kinda sleeping on the whole mechanic but that deck made it seem so cool.
Yeah, this gonna be the meta for a bit. Welcome to poison hell.
I want to play standard just to play this deck. Looks amazing. I know this is a best of one channel but what would the sideboard look for a deck like this? 🤔
Hmm idk... Also agreed, I'm primarily an Explorer player who plays a little Standard on the side, this deck is right up my alley tho
Counterspells definetly but after that im not entirely sure
Spell Pierce, Maybe Circuit Mender for mono red, Depopulate, Negate, Unlicensed Hearse. Not entirely sure, Black has the best sideboard options with Parasitic Grasp, Duress, Whack
I don't think I would be wrong to guess that SaffronOlive t5 play would not have been a boardwipe but Panharmoni... I mean Elesh Norm MoM.
Deck reminds me of the deck I climbed with last season and is still climbing this season. Its UW with drake, 1 mana protection and birds. Was initially just supposed to be a protect the bird and draw lots of cards deck but ended up using angels as my other birds. Gaida gives counters to make Metropolis Angel good as does slip and wandering emp. Paragon and Sereph are also useful for recovering. Only other bird I use is fairie vandal since I like to hold up counter magic on 2 and don't like dropping a drake on 2 since I can't protect it. It also gets counters for my metropolis angel. I tried to build a green version with rotpriest and it came out a lot like this deck but I didn't like the feel of it as good so I went back to my birds for now. Bird deck feels like a decent budget deck but, aside from lands, thats pretty much what it is. I don't have all the rares I want for rotpriest yet but if I did, I like having more draw options and not relying on poison, I might still go with birds.
Disappointed that the croaking counterpart is not in the list haha
Maybe it should be. Copying Rotpriest has a good chance of ending the game
@@jollyjoker6340 and flashing it back is always a “risk” for them if they don’t hate the grave
This deck looks really fun. Also loving the Chun Li sleeves!
I want a compleated cgb cosplay for a video. Timeline where jin accomplished his goal lol
Such a deck really is a blast, what Simic most often lacks is the reach, indeed without direct damage, you really rely on out-valuing the opponent on board or on the stack. Having that Eventual Win con is great for the color pairing
It'll get even better when the simic fastland comes with MOM.
Are we certain the enemy fastlands are coming with with MOM? When the enemy fast lands were printed the first time time, they were not followed up with the allied fastlands until 6 years later.
Been enjoying some of your videos! Thanks for all the deck suggestions! Looking forward to an update to this one? 😁
Its gonna be nasty in Commander/Brawl too, some toxic, toxic commanders out there. Rusko can make all the clocks he wants, they will just be constant reminders that his time is running out.
He definitely hasn't slept since the game yesterday where he played against the rot priest
That was brutal…
What the heck, that game against Rapsolo! That made reminded me of the shenanigans with Goldspan Dragon and Show of Confident: maybe not just quite as broken, but insane to see!
That was a fun one. Thanks CGB.
It looks like a very fun deck to play. What do people think about Mercurial spelldancer? Can it fit in the deck?. Seems like a fun one to play with Rotpriest but not sure yet how.
Spelldancer is probably better for Proliferate decks in UB
For sneaky I want to play Spelldancer with Rat King and Ninjutsu Rats
Something I see you hard every using cgb is full control. If you would use it you could let ivy clone a fading hope and cast another spell in response before ivy gets bounced
Yesh, CGB is now CompleatedGoBlue.
Got some serious macho man randy savage vibes from the intro and I’m here for it
Fairy tales strike back (Eldraine vibes incoming^^)! Thank you for this one, it was an unbeatable pleasure watching this masterpiece.
Scary deck... will love to try it. ^^
Rotpriest is a heavy contender for the Gyruda Honorary "whoa, remember for like a week at release when people thought THIS crappy card was busted!??!" Award of the set. But it also might just be busted.
I don't think a card that has potential relevance in revitalizing a Modern format archetype can ever be considered "crappy" in a vacuum, but you do you.
I feel like timely interference would be extremely good in this deck, in the best case scenario where you have ivy, stormchaser, and rotpreist on the battlefield at the same time it is 1 mana draw three cards and +2 poison. even if you only have ivy or only have stormchaser it's still one mana to draw two cards which is very good for cost and will allow you to combo off more consistently. Note that drawing two while only having ivy assumes there is some other targetable creature on the battlefield.
Hoh boy that Gruul oil deck looks SWEET. Also building this simic deck for ladder though
I think full control + ordering triggers would go a long way.
28:00 you could just hold priority and stack the triggers, no need to replay ivy
Oh, he's poison. I got this poison running in my veins
You got blue balled, got to play and then put it away.
If this deck gets some traction, maybe it can be called Poison Ivy
wow love those sleeves cgb
g marches there are for only one reason - make multiple rotpriests so you will make 4-6-8-10 poison counter per spell. Diplomacy is for the same exact reason
Is there anything fun you could put together with for mirridin/ equipment deck techs with nahiri unforgiven? i'd love to see if even if its not the meta
Do we know if rotpriest triggers multiple times from a spell that targets multiple creatures. For example a spell that would divide counters amongst creatures?🧐
A similar version of this deck is currently running rampant in standard. CGB should probably do a vid on it. Its crazy, literally every 2nd game I play is against the same simic rotpriest + ivy nonsense. Its driving me crazy. 🤪
the only good thing about Poison Ivy is how well the name lines up
This is brutal but there's other versions out there that are waaaay quicker and consistent. The game should never get to turn 5.
Like?
@@albertoguarnieri5182 check out the one MTG Malone did. It's called something like "win turn 3". It's fast, consistent and absolutely savage.
28:52 no, he's not better known as SaffronOlive. He's proooooooobably better known as SaffronOlive tho.
This deck might be really good
I knew Rotpriest would be a MONSTER the second I saw that card.
So many protection spells in Standard, it's insane.
I want to see just how many ways it can break the game in half.
Self-protection? Auras? ALL of them screw people over for even trying to go at your wincon
What is next? CCG goes mono red? LOL- great video and deck!
I'm not 100% sure, but would'nt any permanent -x/-x effect from creatures or enchantments completely kill this deck? That's at least an answer for non standard. i dont know if there are any good/ cheap -x/-x effects in the new set though. But i know those cards are usually not really the meta so idk.
Ivy always looked out of place in DMU to me. Now I guess we know why...
No croaking counterpart?
im fully expecting this deck to be super competitive with just Rotpriest alone.
Poison is going to be cool. Seems like there are a few ways to do the deed.
169k subs ... nice 😉- the question is, do we also have the 420? I so miss the Jinny G skits.
first opponent's deck is SWEET!
"If you are One with the cards, like the One in Best-of-One, who is the One, who is the ONE One-ist... you're never punished!" -CGB.
lmao
Is the poison counter from the rot priest the same as Fynn the Fangbearer from a few years ago?
Around 28:00 seems like it would be better to respond to your own instants rather than have to replay the Ivy repeatedly. Then again, maybe missing out on the scry before the next draw would even more costly.
Between Oil and Poison there is one glorius gift our Phyrexian Overlords have brought back to us for StandardL Brutal aggro and strategy! X3 I couldn't be happier about that personally! Did it cost us our humanity? Yup but I ask were we really using it that much as MTG Players? I think not especially in Modern. Oh I can't wait to see Phyrexian perfection crack the unflinching veneer of Modern.
Breaking the meta before the meta is even born.
If we didn’t have the rot priest infect players would have no chance in standard. I’m glad we have it. Long live skittles !
Looking forward for historic brawl with Ivy
At abt 28:00 in when you kept replaying ivy, you should have just cast your spells in response before bouncing ivy to save you mana.
Love toxic, this is amazing
When even evil CGB says this shits messed up… you know wizards done fucked up. AAAAAAND OF COURSE ITS IN SIMIC COLORS AGAIN
Prosthetic Injector and Jawbone Duelist also deals 4 toxic on attack turn 3 and possible turn 4 kill with a Skrelv or other toxic 1 drop.
Your GReasy first opponent had you dead with the Sylex and... targeted Ivy? Early access skill level I guess.
There needs to be a cheap target player sacrificing a creature spell with split-second.
That first game was so hype
Rot Priest should have really said "Target of a spell or ability your opponent controls". This one drop that allows this type of toxic deck pun intended is just overall bad for the health of the game. Especially with one cmc protection spells and things that double the priest.
Should have never been a one drop with its current text. I could see that as a 4 drop with its current text and being fair as a one drop it is just incredibly bad for the health of the game.
Does this 1 drop make poison a thing in modern/pioneer formats? I mean I’m seeing some t3 kills with this card in multiple openers. Tom Ross where are you?
the 2 copies of ivy in the first game caught me offguard since i only watch cgb and the last month has been brawl (no complaints here, i just wish i had the wildcards to play it)
I fell like we need a Pithing Needle like effect for triggered abilities in standard
Pithing needle is in standard, got reprinted in midnight hunt (opened a foil in prerelease)
@@tedpengu1n but pithing needle isnt for triggered abilities
against the titan of industry, cant you go full control, respond to yourself and get all the triggers and not use mana recasting the ivy?
4:25 Wqit is that a Chun-li deck?
Hey CGB , what about 3 colors for Necrogen Communion to protect both Rotpriest and Ivy
Saffron Olive easily one of my most favorite mtg players/creators.
Unbearable voice though
I know; so knowledgeable, just can't listen to him
Venerated Rotpriest is disgusting and it's awesome to see you get wins off of him.
Does anyone think this has enough get up and go for explorer or historic?
proooooobably better known as saffronolive
RotPriest is fun….if you are not playing against it. Which usually means a ban.
Ivy's been waiting for a deck where she's good. This might just be that deck. If it's a thing it's probably the end of Mono-Blue in Bo1 too as they only have things that trigger Rotpriest.
Seth was probably playing PanharMOMicon..
I know I'm going to craft this deck and get annoyed that I keep losing to other things while grinding in plat.
Imagine show of confidence still being in this format with ivy and rot priest
That oil deck was fun
