You can't just give impossible tasks like that!
Just realized that Get Lost on your own creature would add two artifacts to your board, which could be the difference for lethal. Random thought, but maybe useful for someone.

Glad to see Dr. Ruckus is still playing.
Nice to see Dr. Ruckus playing missed his videos and even cooler to be in a cgb video!
I played mono red slick shot against a deck like this recently. They absolutely shoved me in a locker, pulled me out of the locker a turn later and promptly game me a wedgie followed by a swirly.
Cgb hates transforming the smithy. He had 6 artifacts and had another smithy in hand and still said "nope." I transforming that as soon as it's safe to do so.
How many artifacts could artifacts artifact if in fact an artifact could in fact artifact

The answer is Temur Food with some of the big score cards. Teething Wurmlet, Tough Cookie, Goose Mother, Night of the Sweet's Revenge, Roxanne Starfall Savant, Ancient Cornucopia, Generous Plunderer, Goldvein Hydra, etc all supported by a doppelganger... Easily break the token limit.. and gain 400 life in a turn while showering the enemy with meteors.

@@zigzag2370 you want 15+ mana on turn 5? Yes, it has artifact tokens out of the butt. With Roxanne artifact tokens tap for double mana.. That means treasures, Roxanne's meteors, and food with Night of the Sweets Revenge. Throw in Synthesizer, Esoteric Duplicator, Portal to Phyrexia, whatever 3+ mana artifacts you could ever want.. even Thousand Moon Smithy is possible with all the treasures, meteors, and ancient cornucopias the deck can play, and you'll be happy. My favorite win con is Doppelgang'ing meteors for damage to the opponents face.. or making 5 copies of the opponents wincon and shoving it down their throat.

Shorikai had a stroke and shut down trying to read this
Aegis is the mythical shield that had Medusas head nailed on it.
this was really satisfying to watch, multiple synthesizers synergize so well with each other
I've been slapped around by this deck, was wishing to see your take on it. Thanks CGB!
Aegis is pronounced "ee·jiss" :D
New Cgb video right in the morning, now thats a good way to start the day
Hey, a Dr. Ruckus appearance! I miss his videos. Hopefully he comes back some day.
if u wanna go "infinite": Copy Simulacrum with Three steps ahead, then playing worldwalker helm, that "copies target artefact copy" then you can make a simulacrum each turn for 2 mana only, that exponentially makes more tokens, leaving your mana free to cast removal/counter. in my deck I also play Barbed net + 1 or 2 proft's for no maximum hand size. I drew 30 cards in one trigger once and gave +29/29 to a flyver for lethal. So many mythics tho...
@mikastrae

You could also copy the target of the helm with the helm to gain a lot of them quickly too. It's such a fun card
I'm starting to think you're not an illusion created by the machines...
That was brutal! Nice work man!
It's a bit greedy, but I love using Worldwake Helm in this build because you can use Three Steps Ahead to make a token of the Synthesizer or the Mightstone and then copy that token for two mana every turn.
You dunking on mono red was satisfying to see
Glad I got my simulacrum synthesizer when I did. Geez
This deck is straight fire 🔥 I really enjoyed watching these games. Urza meld in game 2 🤤
New cards I know, but with nothing else in hand you could cast, 6:34 you should have used Three steps ahead for UU1 counter & 2 Colorless to draw 2 and discard a card. Even if you discarded the legendary Thousand Moon smithy you could have used it to craft the Sawblades into a 5/5 beater. Side note, Its mostly a draft card but don't sleep on Braided net from Ixalan! 3 mana artifact that enters with 3 counters, tap remove a counter tap target non-land permanent. It is great for shutting down hastey bird wizards as well as putting a stop on opponent's upkeep and tapping down Planeswalkers! (Turns off all activated abilities). Finally for U1 you can exile it and another artifact (from board or graveyard) to craft it into Braided Quipu!. Which has 3U tap draw a card for each artifact you control! Really punishes your opponent's get losts! Also Celestus as a 1 of is a 3 mana Artifact! Finally (Sorry I get excited about Azorious Artifacts!) I would go a little harder on Anchorages & Mirrex! You can't underestimate the value of the extra artifacts with the crafting abilities + the Goloms from 1000 moon smithy Pow/Tuff is based off of total number of arti's. So any Treasures, Maps, or Mirrex's you have lying around are extra valuable mid-late game!

Here's the logic: with Sheoldred on the board, drawing two would not only lose 4 life, but also give away the information that you don't have any instant speed removal (like, a second Spring-loaded Sawblades) in hand. The opponent would have attacked with Sheoldred and either cost the only creature to chump, or 4 more life.

Pretty sure it's pronounced ee-jiss

@davidhower7095

Wonder if this deck has any legs in Alchemy. No March, and Urza, Mightstone, and Lockdown are rotating next set… not to mention The One Ring existing meaning everyone has artifact removal on hand.
Urza is absolutely broken but it takes soo much to get him put
24:34 You could also make a token copy of the Thousand Moons Smithy here instead of drawing two + discarding one, and that alongside the Synthesizers would give you 3 Karnstructs
Azorious artifacts almost makes me want to get back into MtG. But then I realized I'd probably have to grind mono-red to get the cards
A best of 3 series might be good. Especially with the RC season coming, there surely is a demand for watching best of 3 standard with the meya decks and even more the off-meta decks that could be well positionned to win against the meta
Also, Thran spider is very good in this since most decks cant use the powerstone but you can

Happy to see at 15:06 @DrRuckusMTG is still alive 🥳
I CALLED IT! I SPOKE ON THE SYNTHESIZER IN THE STREAM A FEW DAYS AGO
The design concept of the aegis is kinda like the alchemy card Reflection Net.
The Aegis (pronounced ee-jiss) is a shield in Greek mythology made with Medusa's head and wielded by Athena, but aegis can refer to any shield ^^
That first mono black deck was nothing but haymakers and bats.
I really like the synergy of this deck but I wonder how well it fairs in ranked standard. I can craft 1 deck and wanna be careful lol
i think played ageist you while i was using a with a test dec about 2 days ago and i only just noticed your on you tube
PLEASE… CGB… YOU KNOW WE NEED THE NEW HISTORIC BRAWL DECKS
I loved the deck and hype for seeing it on bo3! Idk about eternal wanderer on bo1 though Also this deck will be way better against control when march rotates and everybody will be on 4x march
Cool deck!
thank you
Everything tends to work out in mono red’s favor
Okay now im confused: no cryptic coat?
"eejis", CGB. It's from Greek mythology, the shield of Zeus. It wasn't the understudy writers from wotc who came up with the word "Aegis"
No cryptic coat?
Wh would the big score not be Standart legal? It's the aftermath set for thunders and aftermath was Standart Legal the last time too
Given the art direction from WOTC, I'm not suprised CGB is following suit.
is there a way to message directly for advice? I am sure you get this quite often but was curious is all
26:54 I'm genuinely curious, does this deck even play any 9 mana value cards? Because ill timed explosion doesn't count the total mana value of the discarded cards but rather the greatest mana value among the discarded cards. Perhaps they intended to cast 2 explosions in a row?
Dying to Urza Meld in big 2024 is quite something
This deck speaks to me 🤩🤩
@breakingthewall2112
3 ай бұрын
Yes yes nothing better than melding Urza or his brother. So satisfying
The Big Score is standard legal, because it is the set of cards that were going to be another Aftermath set, but they backed out of that idea, and just merged it in.
I think you run high noon in every white deck at this point. It completely crushes aggro decks. And it completely ruins the plot mechanic. Messes up most combo decks. As long as you run a way to sac it, either by running a bit of red or other outlet, theres little downside, unless you run into blue tempo, then its a bit sketch.
@jesseknorr8037

If you're a tempo deck running High Noon yourself it makes counterspells into extra turn spells (aside from upkeep draw untap land and combat, but your main phases basically don't exist if you can counter 1 spell a turn) Basically I'm saying that its a floodgate that makes it really, really easy to answer threats as it forces them to play at a slow pace that you can manage

CGB, aegis is a shield and the correct pronunciation is AY-JIS Correction: it’s an attribute of specific Greek and Roman gods represented by a goatskin shield and in modern use it is defined as backing or support
CGB please open your vault....my OCD.
First game you had two mana open and didn't draw two with three steps ahead
“A-Jiss”
It makes Karn-structs. Simple enough. Lol
I wonder how well an AI trained on all of CGBs content would do?
I've been playing azorius artifacts for years. It works better if you add Cephalopod Sentry and Static Net for removal. You also need all the cards that create artifact artifacts (Urza's command, Thousand Moon Smithy and Simulacrum Synthesizer). Urza Prince of Kroog is also must have for the +2/+2 and to copy your artifact artifacts for more artifact artifacts. This deck he's made is too control for my tastes. Except for Machine Over Matter, Urza's Command and Static Net my deck is almost all creatures or artifacts. You can also throw in Mirror Box.
The automatons are here
My man said aegis right once this entire video lol
Wouldn't recurring cryptic coat be good in this?
Artifact shenanigans? You had me at a copy of Urza in the current standard. Quarter of the way into the video, hoping there's some Meld tears incoming... Edit: Moments later the meld comes against Ruckus? So conflicted... 😊Happy the meld came so fast. 😢Sad because I like Ruckus, he does good content.
CBG not knowing how to pronounce Aegis confirmed he has not played Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Clay fired bricks?? How are bricks supposed to pay rent!?
Age-iss like "hiss"
Why not Mondrak?
The Big Score is legal in standard? Hmm.
Why did the ai say its not me if its not cgb?
24:32 Am I crazy or is this lethal? Choose copy (Smithy) instead of loot, make 3 6/6s. Then on your turn copy a Synthesizer for 3 more artifacts and attack for 9x3 = 27? Safe play or not, that's wild.
Too bad when you hover on the 5/5 vehicle, the opponent can see what you're looking at and they can also figure out what you're planning for the on board combat trick.
Ayyy jis
I think it's "æ-jis" 🤔
Azorius artifacts was the first deck I crafted when the new set dropped. My version runs some different cards than this, like worldwaker helm. Really fun when it pops off but suffers against this hyper-aggro meta that usually kills you by turn 3 or 4 😪
I'm kinda annoyed that the breaking news cards arent standard legal, I keep losing rare/mythic pulls for cards I can't play in standard from standard boosters.
Aegis is pronounced eejis, more or less.
Kinda confused why CGB didnt copy the backside of the bricks in Game 1 to get two tokens when he said he wanted another creature. Otherwise good games!
ayo dr ruckus??
Friendly reminder that solitude always wins
