That Lockdown at 20:07. The fact they resisted shame scooping is impressive.

Keep the Standard Events coming, my man. Gives a nice arc to the video.

The real crime today was no "Even Money Dance" from CGB.

Thanks for letting everyone know its an event. I have seen several content creators freak out when people say the deck wasent tested because it looked like they were doing 'play' as if its the watcher's fault not knowing they were doing an event.

​@@thisispotatos9957 I really wanna agree with the criticism thing. But the issue is how it's being presented. Saying "doesn't fucking count when it's in playmode *insert any ad hominem*". As opposed to asking what kind of mode it is seeing as play doesn't really qualify for a ladder deck. Even though the modes are ironically more similar than I'd like them to be. So yes, people should learn to take criticism without getting butthurt, but people also seriously need to learn the difference between proper critique and toxic flame.

@@kaerustation Oh, would be a mistake. The deck can win with just one rage, and holding cover up until it shows up could be too late and you lose in one shot. In that game, taking out the deluge was the correct play, since it would diminish opponent's ability to assemble the combo. If the rage was already in the graveyard, like during the second cover up, yes, with the rage already in graveyard, the correct play is to remove it.

Disinformation campaign is legit one of my favorite cards in my Aminatou edh deck. Super fun hearing the groans when I flicker it and I get 6 discards and 2 draws for 3 mana.

I have legitimately done so many chores waiting on World's Souls Rage decks to do the mana thing

Been having fun with this deck! didn’t have enough wildcards for the all the creatures so I added a few Sheoldreds and with all the card draw it fits really well

Huh, “four thousand moon smithy’s” that sounds funny

That new crime card reminded me of Dovin's Acuity. The "instants during your own turn" thing never really took off, whereas crimes was something Dimir was already doing, so it's obviously better.

just look at all the cards advantage he has compared to the opponent. the opponent is almost top decking. CGB has an hand full of answers.

I love this card, been personally using it in a dimir control shell as well. With the addition of virtue of persistence for extra value. also the new jace can do some fun things with both these cards!

Awesome deck! I feel like Intimidation Campaign would be great in an esper shell too to run lockdown and/or get lost for artifacts and planeswalkers.

The sheer glee from that last game. 😂

Dimir control brings so much nostalgia. Love these 1h videos of CGB playing control.

That poison match at the start of the video was 🎂!

Disinformation Campaign was one of my favourite cards, and I've been trying to cook with Intimidation Campaign because of that. I know I'm already going to love the video.

42:46 Where was the even money dance? Don't tell me you're dropping my favorite part of the video!

That beep was prime XD 😂 never thought CGB would do it

Nice deck. Those investigators are quite good. I was wondering if I should put campaigns in my discard deck. I might do that. It’s missing card draw. If there was a legendary version of the investigator in blue/black it would be a definite addition. I already use Lazav. I’ll craft some tinybones first and see what it needs.

That wouldsouls game

6:20 you should have countered the the 3rd poison counter spell cuz that opens them up to lots o' value, as you immediately saw afterwards lol

i tried building this, it isn't complete yet but even with what i have, it's squeezing out some nice wins. even got a con win against a planeswalker control deck!

This deck is incredible. After watching this vid I had to see for myself and HOLY CRAP. So much fun!

Hey cgb is there some new outlaw card that should go on UW control decks?

Took this list and tweaked it a bit. Pulled back a tad on the pure control, but doubled down on the crime and life chipping. Duelist of the mind is INSANE with Hostile Investigator. Kaervek, the Punisher is crazy value, and can trigger multiple times per turn. Was trying to find a reliable mana dump crime trigger (for when I hold counter mana up), but new to the rotation. Only found coral colony, which isn't terrible when you have 2-3 crime lovers on the board, but I was hoping for like a blue tapper or something. There is Forensic Researcher, which is cool, but not familiar with how easy it is to collect evidence 3

Right as I was like "Why the hell isn't this called 'Crime Spree' ?? " He fixed it. Was not expecting that to happen, let alone with that timing.

I'm loving the standard event content. Thanks CGB!

Always fun when people find out the hard way that indestructible only stops lethal damage and destroy effects.

Now I have something in common with CGB: we both lost to rowan kenrith lol. But they were playing Blue/White control on the ladder when we played.

I've been enjoying watching you play control decks lately. That toxic control deck you played against in game 1 ended up being little better than I expected. It's probably still pretty bad but that was a close game 😅

Nice i was waiting for a solid Demir control deck

I played Disinformation Campaign in BO3 WAR standard, and I think that was the first deck that got me to mythic.

I think you can keep a two lander - especially you playing so many lands - but that hand was full of very 'similar' cards (in this case cost - two copies of Phantom, the next card in the list when ordered by MV - Three Steps Ahead - and another similarly cheap spell in Throat). I'm fairly sure it tries to emulate physical shuffling by 'clumping' cards of a type (depending on order, which may vary) and then shuffling the clumps, sometimes weaving them, sometimes more, sometimes less - if you get the sense it has done so less (i.e emulating poor shuffling), it's usually worth a mulligan cos whatever you see in your hand (i.e few lands, lots of cheap or expensive spells, lots of one color, etc) you're almost certainly about to see more of it.

That's expecting 3/4 off the top to be land to be on curve. That's asking a lot with honest odds. It's only 40ish percent that you'll draw 2/4 with a 3 land opener. Miss and you loose. I see almost 80% 2 land openers with my H&K Breech running 28. There's a hidden MMR/ELO handicap system. I found a dev blog post about it a few years back. It's supposed to protect the long-term health of the game by protecting noobs from getting repeatedly punished for their mistakes. The most common noob deck is mono-red because it's cheap and effective with an easy play pattern to learn. Yes, they get loaded draws against you. No, your deck isn't supposed to function. This is a hand holding education session. In many cases, they will have a guaranteed win if they make no or few mistakes. Like the pixie tutorial matches, but it's set up to make you feel like a big boss challenge that they defeated. Dopamine hit; addict another. Have a Mythic participation trophy. Try an experiment. When you first hit platinum, concede a bunch of games with bad draws and concede when you miss land. Can't drop rank. Get 30-50 losses in and watch the hands normalize. Repeat at diamond for a pretty painless Mythic climb.

19:55 I think they thought the Intimidation Campaign was 2 mana.

Even Money Dance was stolen. What a crime.

That game against Worldsoul Rage was cathartic to watch. Just strip them of their win cons!

I read the flavor text on Honest Rutstien, and I heard it in CJB's voice: "No questions."

Nice seeing you play standard event. Keep it up. ;-)

That boros player learned a valuable lesson today. Indestructible does nothing if your creature's toughness drops to zero.

a built a deck with intimidation campaign, 4x copies in the 60 card deck, nothing crazy. I drew it once in 4 games.

Are you planning on streaming during PT at all?

15:00 I like the opponent's deck

1)not sure how much of it was "agrro decks playing two creatures in the first 5 turns" and how much of it was the deck being good. 2)Also wonder if you survive against the boros player if you had drawn an untapped land. exiling the creature that gives them all haste probably helps your odds cool deck, but not entirely convinced to spend 8 mythic wildcards

How is it possible to play oponents that have a deck with 230 cards?

deadly cover up is nuts

Intimidation campaign is super good in draft 😂🎉

This deck looks fun

the deck is sick as fugg!

50% of my last mono red opponents have been scooping when they realized they lost the game. Embarrassing.

Would you prefer scoops or people letting you play out to do whatever thing your deck is supposed to be doing? I figure the least we can do when we're in a game with you is to help you get whatever content you're looking for.

I bet this deck would love a way to generate blood tokens.

Yayyy more event content :)

Standard Event! You are cool!

I feel like Hostile Investigator seems demonstrably great, and worth putting into a variety of decks. Intimidation Campaign, by contrast, feels too slow, too clunky, and not worth it. Propaganda campaign at least felt like it disrupted your enemy by making them discard, but this one is a real durdle card, and I don't think it's fast enough to make a significant difference against aggressive decks.

damn this deck was absolutely heinous holy shit
