I hit Mythic a few hours later with this deck. Humble Naturalist is in the deck now, the 1/3 is great against Red and Rakdos. 28 lands, never miss a land drop, and I trimmed some shock lands so it wasn't too painful because the fixing with paradise and humble makes everything easy to cast. Most of the large things, like Trawler and Umori turned into Pain Bacon, just get them dead. Forget milling them.

Hey CGB, I found an infinite combo Luminous Broodmoth Soul Diviner Samut Woe Strider Cruel Celebrant Infinite lifegain, infinite ping, infinite card draw. I played this concept on arena a bit, and fiend artisan is super useful in setting up the combo if you have the moth out on the battlefield Samut can be replaced by purphoros, because it needs to just raw make all your creatures haste. I tried crashing drawbridge instead but it didn’t work, it just gives the creatures haste. So first you sacrifice the soul diviner to woe strider. It returns to the battlefield with a flying counter because of the moth and with haste because of Samut. Because it died, your opponent loses one life and you gain one. Then, you tap it to remove it’s counter and put it back on the ground. Then you sacrifice it to woe strider (cruel celebrant ping), and it returns flying. Because it’s haste you can tap it already and remove it counter. And repeat the cycle until you’ve 1. Killed your opponent 2. Gained so much life your opponent can’t really do anything anymore 3. Drawn your deck I wanted to share it with someone who could get more credit out of it, I've only gotten it to go off two times in standard play.

Ive been running Kogla Titan Ape in this deck and its been sweet. The fight ability is useful most matchups, and the destroy artifact or enchantment text wrecks the Cat/Oven and fires decks.

@@lukasbaize109 Well, in that case, it´s necessary to decide if you are playing to win or to have fun (I understand that the ideal would be both, but that it´s not something we can have all the time). if you want to play ranked, you want to win, than expect that you will find the meta decks constantly, so be prepare or play yourself these decks. if want fun or jank stuff, then go for it, you will find options: normal queue, historic or brawl (at least those are the ones that I use, when I want to relax) and also try to ignore the outcome of the games.

I played two amazing traditional drafts in Ikoria, I crafted Nox's Monored Temur (amazing with 3 songs and 2 oxes) and I created an incredible Mardu Human Knights with Inspiring Veteran, the new guy that buffs humans +1+1, Worthy Knight, Judith, Hero of the Precinct, Order of Midnight, Stormfist Crusader, Castle Ardenvales...

I was screaming "Noooooo!!!" when you bounced your last Rude guy

I've been running a similar decklist lately and using luminous broodmoth. Ive been loving it because if you play a second Gyruda and have to sacrifice one then Broodmoth will bounce it back for you to then sac the other for way more uses.

What about farfinder? I know it costs 3 but it helps you to fix the Mana and thin out the deck (as fabled passage does). Do you think it is worth?

Why no luminous broodmoth to add extra board wipe insurance/potentially resetting the combo?

I wonder if this deck might benefit from adding in Binding of the Titans. It would help prevent whiffing on Gyruda and help you hit your land drops. Also FWIW, one thing I noticed, you can use dream trawler's ability to get cards from your hand into your graveyard to make the Gyruda more consistent.

If, you have an adventure card where the spell doesn't meet the companion cost. Is it still allowed in the deck and can you play it?

I spent some saved up wildcards for this deck in hopes of reaching diamond this season! This deck look super fun so I wanted to give it a try, ended up just playing a lot of other Gyruda decks lol. I suggest sneaking in two copies of Luminous Moth to cheat on the legendary rule. Best thing is if Thassa is on the field, her bounce removes the flying counter so Luminous Moth can have multiple impacts. I also do suggest running thassa's oracle with that variation. Also Kogla, the Titan Ape is a two of in my build. He is friggin nuts. Also, he can bounce your charming prince back to hand.

Woah! Amazing deck!

Looks fun, definitely trying this out soon if I have the wildcards. Eagerly awaiting your take on a humans deck also

Companion is such a cool concept. Will definitely have to save up some of my rare wildcards to see this one through.

what is the umori for=? isnt it better to replace them with 2 Uros for more ramp?

There's also the 4 mana 2/4 Centaur Druid that gains 3 life and taps for a mana of any colour. It's a little bit sturdier than the 2 mana ramp creatures, it is also even, it's a 4-drop and it gains you life, so you get that little bit more vitality against aggro

I just finished watching Day9 for an hour and all he did was lose playing against Gyurda

25:43 can you use spark double on elite guard mage? if so... copy on guard mage gain life draw a card (this would be a 3/4 so it could block the brazen bower), then using the charming prince in had to flicker one of the elite guard mages gaining more life drawing a third card for turn (including draw for turn here) and have a blocker for both flyers and two ground blockers. Am I wrong? if so please comment!

Just wondering what you thought about adding "Kinnan, Border Prodigy" to this deck

so u could use fae of wishes & side board in an odd card, but if u did u could no longer play Gyruda from the zone he starts in? Would he just be Locked in that zone after u wish in the side board card?

I would recommend putting Serpent of the Yawning Depths in there, that's my wincon when my opponent plays Hushbringer.

Look at it not as failing but finding a lovely way to add more prince's to the field. They scooped become of the royal impending flush.

It's really cute that you're allowed to run Incubation/Incongruity. Dual cards are so fun to mess with for CMC purposes!

have you played against a deck with mass removal? what if the combo doesnt go off and they mass removal the next turn? what are our chances of winning?

Alright wildcards, it was nice too meet you.

Hey, have you tried to substitute one of the Forerunners for one Kogla? It's a deck without removal and some of my rivals did get to crowd the board with ajanis and life winning creatures so that by turn six I had already losed. Adding this great ape did great for me. Great deck anyway.

I built my Gyruda deck pretty similar but added two Broodmoths. Makes the decks quite a bit more evasive and resilient.

Hey man. Love your videos. Watched a ton of them. I'd like ya to look at the version I've been working on the last couple days. I Might have to make a video of it. Similar. But more answers like going fires into a double le mana ramp spell. Or a sweeper. Or into combo on turn 4. Also mothra helps when one dies it comes back as a trigger. Can hit it 3 times off every death. You can mill quite often on turn 4.

Is the impact of companions on magic bigger than when plainswalkers landed?

Watching the video before I even got the notification

This deck is sick. Due to lack of wildcards I subbed in some thassa's oracles and teferi time twist, but I am making it work through plat.

Thought the companion part only matters if your using from outside the game, otherwise ignoring the companion restrictions if ur slotting it in the deck?

What if you replace something in the deck with 4 leylines of the void? Then you aren't helping gy decks as you mill them and don't need mana to drop from opening hand

Nice variation on a very popular new archetype.

I like having Fiend Artisan to get around counters, and the Moth to get around being nuked

hey sorry I'm late to the video, sorta new to magic in the sense I haven't played in 10 years and just started back up. But why wouldn't you just get rid of all the tap lands, and replace them with basics, using shock lands to round out your white source. because It seems to me there is never a time on turn 2 where you are hard casting charming prince, or on turn 4 hard casting gaurdmage so the white mana is really irrelevant and having none of the tapped lands and more basics is more reliable no?

Hy CGB. I've been trying this deck of yours for a couple of days. It's yummy. I think you should consider using 2 or 3 migration path as well, it makes it so easy to ramp to 6. Cheers
