19:40 I mean I saw A line, -8 Chandra to face and the blocker, swing with everything for 5 damage, then brotherhood's end to blow up all the devils for the finishing 5 pings

He went for the value play. Truly, a control player to his core. Throwing every single thing you have at villain's face in a blaze of glory is far too red a move for a blue mage to even consider

"You missed lethal here" 🤓

I played this deck for a while then pivoted to rakdos discover with dracosaur, cruelty, and carnosaur at the top end. When I played the ramp version I ended up running 2 celestus alongside the irencrag. Def recommend that for anyone trying this out. Too easy to get stuck at 4 lands with a handful of 6/7 drops

Great stuff (video and early release)! I really come to appreciate CGB as the best Magic KZreadr in 2023 and I don't think that will change this year.

I like this deck a lot. In the game vs. Azorius there was an option for lethal the turn prior to when asked if we saw the line. Instead of making mana with Chandra, CGB could've played the Burn Down The House for 6 tokens, swing, 5 damage goes through at least. Then minus Chandra for 5 damage to face. Sequencing could be either way, but it wouldn't have mattered.

The Super Mario music reference at the beginning was awesome ❤

The line I saw for lethal was to attack with the 5 devil tokens, put em down to 9. Brotherhoods end to ping for 4-5 more (depending if the seraph blocked one) then Chandra to face for lethal

Hey CGB! This is a cool feature and I like it a lot!

"Shuffler is FINE...." lol

this does look really fun!

Ayyyy one for the coolest of kids, thanks cgb

Totally building this looks so fun

This looks so fun to play!

Why to go for lethal when you can destroy all opponents board? True control mage at heart

Dude, is my favorite color combo and the most fun in magic I have had in terms of decks. I’m always land screwed with it. Idk why rakdos never gets the lands it needs

hell yeah, all my favourite cards ❤

Isn't the shuffler different between best of one and best of three?

i have seen a shuffler as cruel many, many times.

Thanks CGB

19:42 You had lethal here and you missed it. You -8 the Chandra face and the blocker, then attack all, then 3 to all creatures with the brotherhood's end and devil ping face for another 5.

The last opp was so satisfying - he’s not really a control mage you can tell. Apprentice at best. Just a silly kid who saw a deck list somewhere and thought he was good enough to pilot.

Dang CGB, you had Chandra up to 8 in that match against u/w and 5 devils. You drew the brotherhood for lethal. 8 to kill their angel and 8 to their face, attack 5, brotherhood killing your devils and another 5 to face.

Hey cgb, do you only play control? is that why aggro makes you so angry?

RRUUUMMMMBBLLLLE! Long live Bruce Buffer.

I just played against this deck with my mono blue Djinn deck! Was wondering where it came from.

That was spicy

Im a big fan of mtgo decks, theyre often unique enough in todays standard and you know good. Dont listen to the haters CGB

First time playing it and I got a mill victory with Breach the Multiverse and Chandra chaining off each other.

I played against this deck today! Immediately wanted to build it, and here it is.

Just FYI, the Carnosaur trick doesn't actually work it's not in the grave before your turn begins - the Virtue trigger is on upkeep, and targets must be selected at the point it triggers, so you can't discard the Carnosaur in response to the trigger and target it

RAWR!

Dinosaur Control…. Never thought I’d be tempted to play one of your EVIL CONTROL decks buuuutttt…. [exports]

This does look legit. Think it would cause me stress for missing land drops though lol

I swear that Big Score messes with the shuffler and backloads all of your lands! I used to play Arcane Bombardment with 26 lands and 4 copies of Big Score… could never hit land on time

Half the deck is lands and I can’t draw one to save my life. Wizards is scared of this deck.

This deck is cracked, I just went 5-0 with it on ranked standard. Favorite moment was stealing my opponent's Atraxa out of their graveyard. Curious if it performs just as well across historic and explorer? Carnosaur is the all-star of this deck, it perfectly bridges the gap between turn 5 boardwipe/Gix into turn 7 Etali/Breach because of just how much tempo it offers. I suspect it'll get rebalanced on Arena in the future.

I got the notification, but I haven't watched the video yet (in a late work meeting).

I’m pretty sure you had lethal without the “do you see the line” artifact destruction with Bhood’s end- opponent was at 14, swing with 5 devils makes it 9, use Chandra for face 7 damage makes them at 2, and then bhood’s end your own devils to burn for the last 4

My version of this runs Charming Scoundrel for more ramp and ways to put Dinos in the yard, and Riveteers Requisitioner for more ramp

I think it is strange this deck doesn't play a copy or two of Treasure Map. Just to help with the percentages a bit more if you badly need it on the draw.

Line is destroy all artifacts?

I feel like it would be worth it for you to just splash white for twilight. Its another board wipe for 5, with upside that can end a game on its own.

Missed letal against the Azorius when used Chandra's mana ability. Should have cast Burn down and burnt face with Chandra. Would be 12 damage.

When I got beaten by this deck a couple hours ago, I got a feeling it had something to do with CGB. Well, I was right. 😂 Disgusting pile of cards, but still beautiful. (And I only had to spend 2 rare wildcards to craft it for myself with sideboard and all.) Breach and Etali are back on the menu. ❤🖤

I’d love to hear a proper analysis on how Cavern of Souls + Carnosaur + Cruelty of Gix is a better version of RAKDOS Ramp than the one with Archfiend/Sheoldred+Celestus. imo Carnosaur Channel Ability is bad rate and arrives way a bit late as 6 drop that discover a 2 mana removal 50% of the time.

It simply comes down to the fact that archfiend and shelly cant put the same amount of pressure on in 1 turn vs boardwipes. Carnosaur needs a boardwipe clear while also putting on the same level of pressure as shelly or archfiend.

@cursinsquirl

6 ай бұрын

The carnosaur is actually a bit better off than you suggest with its discover. 6 2-drop removal spells and an ironcreg are all pretty mediocre, you are just as likely to hit burn down the house or Cruelty of Gix as you are a 2 mana removal spell, with big score and brotherhood's end hanging out as well. In a pretty aggro-heavy metagame where this deck is slower than most others, hitting a boardwipe a third of the time seems pretty good.

I have been playing this deck for 3 weeks. I couldn’t believe how easy was winning against mono red or 5 colors, just using your brain, the cards, not too much gain life, not too much strategies to defeat just one deck, but it’s good enough to defeat them all, and best part, people doesn’t give up, the deck just explode, even when you think everything is done and you are defeated it, nope, the deck surprise you, even the 10 board wipes, the deck still has it. Love this rakdos!

My dino deck works a bit differently. It has different types of dinosaurs all the way through. It's three coloured; red, green and white. It does have a few double copies of dinos. It also has a few non-dino monsters too. Doesn't always win but is a lot of fun to use lol.

Vintage and Legacy costs tens of thousands, timeless does not. It’s a matter of time where people only care about that format. It’s funny how everyone whines about standard, yet sticks by it. All the streamers are putting out more timeless content now. Analytics will prove it.

6:25 i may be wrong but this probably wouldn't work - the ability of enchantment goes on the stack with required legal target that's already in graveyard, so you couldn't in response throw something to bin and then select a target. There's unfortunately no time for such an elegant move :(

Day two of asking for covert go beard

It's sad CGB has to justify and defend his win record on camera. Hatred and envy really festers the worst paranoia.

I literally got smoked by this deck 20 minutes ago. It works.

I hate that they put the fight poster up when you load back in after a disconnect. The other day I crashed, got back in, and I could hear the rope the whole time the poster is up. I throw down a crystal grotto as soon as I get in, with the rope at the barest length. Grotto hits the battlefield, doesn't resolve the scry, and is an unusable land for the rest of the game. Can't tap it manually, auto tapper ignores it, doesn't even highlight when I pass the mouse over it, all because the pointless poster wouldn't let me play. Put in a line that gets rid of it during a reconnect, Wizards. Please.
