26:20 you definitely played that right. The opponent had a blood on the field, so what they could do is activate it after your Sheoldred is dead to gain 2 off of their own and survive the trigger still on the stack, so drawing with the Mastermind was 100% the correct play.
So, one neat trick I found with Forager, if you run Esper, you can use Recomission to bring the fairy back for 2 mana, then pay 2 more to bring another Fairy back, then pay some more to flash back another spell, getting like 8 power worth of creatures and a spell for 5-6 mana.
@@ouwle6618 a more cursed use of that, is to use Recomission to get a 3/3 hasty Bloody Adversary, paying 3 more mana to make it a 4/4 adversary, then recasting the recomission to get a 4/4 hasty trample Sunrise Cavalier. Please don't do it.
Yeah it's a very underrated card,,,I run a halo friends deck I saw on strictly better ,,, I just need 4 of mastermind ,,, just spent all my cards to build CGB zurr go burr
Love the videos! This deck looks fun. Recently played you for the first time and you seem to have been struggling with a Golgari deck. While I was excited to get a chance to play against you, I would have been glad to have it under better circumstances. Thanks for the content!
This reminds me of a great dimir faerie deck I made way back in the Lorwyn block and I miss it. Everything was either an instant or had flash, my friends hated when I played it
Thrashed apple is a Kroger exclusive and here in southern California, those are called Ralph's. That's where you'll find this flavor if you're looking for it while traveling.
Great deck and video as awlays CGB. Dimir isn't a color combo i often use in ranked or brawl, i usually play Azorious artifact control, but this made me wanna dig in! Also, could you try building a rakdos burn deck for historic? Or just making dual color red + X color aggro/burn decks that are more interesting then mono red. I just built one i would like to share and the powerlevel feels insane on good draws on the play. Mine is centered around discarding madness burn spells like Alms of the Vein and Fiery Temper. I do this with Voldaren Epicure and Faithless looting, but i also have a few copies of Lightning Axe for those pesky Sheoldreds.

I’ve been working on this deck, I ended up on 0 counterspells, running surge engine and couple faerie vandals, and the other kaito on the top end. It’s way more fun this way, even if you give up some % points on control matchups
Halo Forger has the potential to be a beast of a card, really hoping the Wilds of Eldraine bring in some faerie typal support. Sorcery speed snappy but with wings? Can't complain about that Tried almost exactly this deck pre fable ban and got slapped around, happy to see it able to put up some numbers
Yeah using gixs could mmand is nice get it back or buff it while affecting board state .. I also run hidetsue and voldaren for instant and sorcery tribal
20:00 ya know funny enough I wanted to join in on the fun. And lately I’ve been scooping up random Mountain Dew flavors at my local gas stations. Have been strangely impressed. Some good flavors. I’ve tried the major melon. Decent. There was a baja carribean flavor one that was good. A purple one I don’t remember the flavor but decent. And the normal ones (live wire, which I love.. and code red)
Invasion of Eldraine is really good for hand destruction and later in the game with the Pickle Faeries damage. Yes, I typed Pickle on purpose. Makes opponents sour.
Ya know, there was another green apple flavored Mountain Dew. There was some kind of poll done to name it, and I can’t say what the top voted names were in the comments without having to worry about getting in trouble.
Thrashed apple is a Kroger exclusive. Also fun fact, Mountain Dew was originally made as a whiskey mixer, so maybe that apple one would work well as a mixer
I can’t wait for the compiled Mountain Dew playlist. But in the meantime have you thought about creating a gruel scam deck? As after all a lot of the big prototype beaters were in green.
I think a good play on the Breach the Multiverse turn around minute 25 would have been letting him go to combat incentivized to attack and when he declared Gix as an attacker flashing Faerie Mastermind drawing two cards and having lethal on board with no mana open from opponent. Or am I missing something?
The only thing that makes me sad about living in Alaska is the lack of Mountain Dew flavors. We had Baja Blast available at our local store for about 15 minutes... which was how long it took for me to run over there and buy ALL of it. As a math teacher I'd like to remind everyone: Do the Math, then Do the Dew.
I been playing halo forger super friends, about 50 %. Win rate .... It was so fun using it to recast invoke despair. Now I use gixs command . Fills the role anyways and winning with halo beats happens.
We need a new song for Sheoldred, especially for against mono-red. “Shelly doesn’t care. Shelly doesn’t care. Beat mono-red, gonna solo it all. Shelly doesn’t care.” (Tune to Scotty Doesn’t Know)
So ... I did play a variant (some different lands and 1 Sorin instead of 1 Kaito) of this deck ... and what shall I say ... ... aggro really, really stuggles aginst it. Especially mono red and mono white soldiers.
To be on record....it was a shame that your original S-Tier rankings of Mountain Dew didn't include Pitch Black and Livewire. Those are the undeniable GOATs for me. Also...the swishing of the soda is undeniable cringe each time.
Am I losing my mind? Fairie Vandal is not in the opening deck tech list.. I would playtest 1 Tenacious Underdog and see how it works. Lot of synergy in the deck for it, maybe rotate out 1 Fairie Vandal.
So this is the future of standard for the next year? Playing slight variations of the same decks over and over again? Please have mercy. I might consider building a few historic decks and switching over.
Love the idea of the deck, but to hell with Standard until the new set comes out. Esper Control and Mono red every.single.match. I'm just done with it until next month. I'll still peep at your content to support you, but I won't be as devoted as before. Sorry, and much love Sensei!
Man The Trashy Rakdos Blood Token's Deck you faced when playing MonoBlack 'Everytime The 4th Drop gets Worst' really got you. Countering Sanguine Status? Wtf LoL 😂😂😂 Greetings for you The One and Only One in BO1!
They seriously need to do something about the shuffler. Ive gone second 17 games in a row today and in over half of them I drew into 10 straight lands each game. I mulligan'd into 6 land and then into a 4 land with a deck that only had 23 lands.
Keeping Make Disappear in your hand into the mid- and late-game, instead of casting it in the early game, is just weird to me. That card actively gets worse each turn.
Colorless more aggressive Castle Ardenvale that generates any color when you play it. Seems good to me. This is why I've been including it in pretty much all decks in historic brawl.
No offense but these games usually seem too easy.. like really, soldiers that don't have a play until turn 3.. a ramp deck without drawing dinosaur or doing anything substantial until turn 80.. I'm sure you obviously don't post most of the games where braindead mono red just goes first and wins but still it's slightly frustrating lol. I hate standard best of 1. The luck to skill ratio has to be 70% to 30% its awful.
Not necessarily. The deck runs a lot of card draw if you have mana to spare using faerie mastermind so even though the highest cmc is 4 the deck is fine as it is meant to use tricks and more than one spell per turn ideally.

Dimir is my favorite so glad to see it doing so well
it is crazy how fast you are pumping the videos out. great gameplay as always
thank you for your content
CGB reviewing Mountain Dew…now I know I live in a simulation. Keep ‘em coming boss man!
Love the videos! This deck looks fun. Recently played you for the first time and you seem to have been struggling with a Golgari deck. While I was excited to get a chance to play against you, I would have been glad to have it under better circumstances. Thanks for the content!
Love the Mountain Dew content. Glad you’re having fun.
This reminds me of a great dimir faerie deck I made way back in the Lorwyn block and I miss it. Everything was either an instant or had flash, my friends hated when I played it
Not too long ago (before MH2) Faeries had been a viable Modern deck.
It would be nice if Wilds of Eldraine could make it work again.
Thrashed apple is a Kroger exclusive and here in southern California, those are called Ralph's. That's where you'll find this flavor if you're looking for it while traveling.
am i missing something? the list at the beginning of the and the moxfiled list doesnt have Fairie Vandal....
I actually think I noticed that
So weird
Great deck and video as awlays CGB. Dimir isn't a color combo i often use in ranked or brawl, i usually play Azorious artifact control, but this made me wanna dig in!

Faeries ! ❤️❤️❤️ woohooo can’t wait for Eldraine
I’ve been working on this deck, I ended up on 0 counterspells, running surge engine and couple faerie vandals, and the other kaito on the top end. It’s way more fun this way, even if you give up some % points on control matchups
Halo Forger has the potential to be a beast of a card, really hoping the Wilds of Eldraine bring in some faerie typal support. Sorcery speed snappy but with wings? Can't complain about that
Tried almost exactly this deck pre fable ban and got slapped around, happy to see it able to put up some numbers
Yeah using gixs could mmand is nice get it back or buff it while affecting board state .. I also run hidetsue and voldaren for instant and sorcery tribal
I like that mirrex turns gold the turn it comes in before assuming colorless land
40:52 Is it possible to save Sheoldred by Halo Forager a Make Disappear paying Casualty cost? Judge?
Hey, would you mind comparing european mountain dew, Im curious how different they are.
That anvil player not using the blood fountains to get creatures hurt so much to watch
Really nice deck, the halo forager worked out very well 😊
Ooh definitely going to look for some Thrash Apple Mt Dew. Sour drinks are so good 🤤
20:00 ya know funny enough I wanted to join in on the fun. And lately I’ve been scooping up random Mountain Dew flavors at my local gas stations. Have been strangely impressed. Some good flavors.

Invasion of Eldraine is really good for hand destruction and later in the game with the Pickle Faeries damage. Yes, I typed Pickle on purpose. Makes opponents sour.
Watching this late, the prophet CGB foretold the rising of Wilds Dimir Faeries 😂
What’s the reason behind running Make Disappear over Spell Stutter?
Ah, a fellow Sour Patch Kids enjoyer! :D
RETURN OF THE DEW!
Nice to see The Adventurer Avatar back!
MTNDEW Thrashed Apple is a great one! I can pick it up at Krogers in Ohio.
The new decks. Please keep them coming.
i could see a couple of the 4 cost Teferi being a win con in this too, not that it strictly needs it.
I think you're the only one who makes and plays unique decks. Every deck you've gone up against has been a net deck copy.
Thrashed Apple is a Kroger exclusive. I thought it was pretty excellent, especially with a little whisky.
I’m ready for the transition to a drink review channel
Thrashed apple is pretty good. I've never seen it in cans though. Only in 20 oz bottles.
I enjoy your Mtn Dew reviews. I actually dislike the Dew but it's neat side content of you.
Straight up gonna buy some thrashed apple now, I love sour apple pucker!
Ya know, there was another green apple flavored Mountain Dew. There was some kind of poll done to name it, and I can’t say what the top voted names were in the comments without having to worry about getting in trouble.
Thank you for spreading the good word of Dimir in standard. I feel like it’s slept on so hard, and no, toxic control doesn’t count.
Thrashed apple is a Kroger exclusive. Also fun fact, Mountain Dew was originally made as a whiskey mixer, so maybe that apple one would work well as a mixer
Apple and bourbon IS a good combo.
Didn't know if I needed the Mt Dew corner, but Thrash Apple may convert me to start drinking the Slurm.
match 1 was so sick!
Very cool deck. This seems like what dimir rogues should have been when it was in standard.
I can’t wait for the compiled Mountain Dew playlist. But in the meantime have you thought about creating a gruel scam deck? As after all a lot of the big prototype beaters were in green.

That Mt Dew adbreak really threw me off 😂
This felt like classic magic fundamentals to me, when blue just meant flying tribal lol
That flavor looks pretty good! I'm sure you have had Code Red before, but if not by some chance you should try it. That's an S tier for me!
Halo Forager has been clutch for me plenty of times in Historic Brawl, probably plenty useful + budget friendly in commander too I'm sure.
It's great with See The Truth (Not Standard Legal).
Shelly sells kaito seashells by the seashore.
I been playing halo forger super friends, about 50 %. Win rate .... It was so fun using it to recast invoke despair. Now I use gixs command . Fills the role anyways and winning with halo beats happens.
The ripped up default sleaves also fills me with disgust
Where the faerie vandal in your list video deck list shows none
One Mirrex is all it takes. Might see a Field of Ruin make a come back.
We need a new song for Sheoldred, especially for against mono-red. “Shelly doesn’t care. Shelly doesn’t care. Beat mono-red, gonna solo it all. Shelly doesn’t care.” (Tune to Scotty Doesn’t Know)
Loran would be interesting in a deck with Faerie Mastermind and Sheoldred. 🤔
Why no ashiok? ;)
I'm pretty sure the apple one is a Kroger exclusive
So ... I did play a variant (some different lands and 1 Sorin instead of 1 Kaito) of this deck ... and what shall I say ...
... aggro really, really stuggles aginst it. Especially mono red and mono white soldiers.
liked this one a lot :)
We have that Thrashed Apple here in VA
To be on record....it was a shame that your original S-Tier rankings of Mountain Dew didn't include Pitch Black and Livewire. Those are the undeniable GOATs for me. Also...the swishing of the soda is undeniable cringe each time.
Do you know what really sucks? The only Mountain due I've ever seen in the UK is OG Mountain due :(
Recently Utah USA had 12 packs of thrashed apple.
Lose to this deck then proceed to come watch cgb and see this deck lol
DIMIR is bae
I don't always draw Kaito but when I do I draw 3 of them and I'm up against monored on the play
Citrus cherry game fuel Mountain Dew is S Tier.
thrashed apple i haven't seen in years are you sure that was safe to drink? lol
Mountain Dew Apple is in Alabama!
Ah no wonder I just played against this deck on mtga. Smacked it hard with my mono red Oil deck.
20:45 never play rotpriest with no protection
Am I losing my mind? Fairie Vandal is not in the opening deck tech list..
I would playtest 1 Tenacious Underdog and see how it works. Lot of synergy in the deck for it, maybe rotate out 1 Fairie Vandal.
LETS GOOOO
It's a shame that when the revolution comes CGB will be the first to go as he is a landlord.
Hold your tongue and say "thrashed apple" 3 times😝
So this is the future of standard for the next year? Playing slight variations of the same decks over and over again? Please have mercy. I might consider building a few historic decks and switching over.
Halo Forager can flash back an Ancestral Visions or Crashing Footfalls for free... hmmm....
FINALLY
Love the idea of the deck, but to hell with Standard until the new set comes out. Esper Control and Mono red every.single.match. I'm just done with it until next month. I'll still peep at your content to support you, but I won't be as devoted as before. Sorry, and much love Sensei!

The dojo master is playing Blue Black but wearing Red? What type of cheap trick of sorcery is this?!
Keeping Make Disappear in your hand into the mid- and late-game, instead of casting it in the early game, is just weird to me. That card actively gets worse each turn.
Mirrex is so broken..
I use it.. but it's one of does cards I wish didn't exist. It makes the control vs control match up so boring
Colorless more aggressive Castle Ardenvale that generates any color when you play it. Seems good to me.
This is why I've been including it in pretty much all decks in historic brawl.
You can run practically 8 field of ruins, it’s fine just got to prepare for it.
Oh no, I can't handle some 1/1s that can't even chump lol.
@damienbotts7981 the thing is I run esper control... and adding filed of ruin to the deck really messes with the mana
make disappear always comes too late
CGB trashing the boomer sleeves. Ugh. The privilege.
No offense but these games usually seem too easy.. like really, soldiers that don't have a play until turn 3.. a ramp deck without drawing dinosaur or doing anything substantial until turn 80.. I'm sure you obviously don't post most of the games where braindead mono red just goes first and wins but still it's slightly frustrating lol. I hate standard best of 1. The luck to skill ratio has to be 70% to 30% its awful.
Second
26 Lands is way too many when your curve tops out at 4. I know you like your land drops but you flood in almost every game this video.
Not necessarily. The deck runs a lot of card draw if you have mana to spare using faerie mastermind so even though the highest cmc is 4 the deck is fine as it is meant to use tricks and more than one spell per turn ideally.
Trash sleeves… you forget yourself sir we didnt always have sleeves
who plays monored now? its absolute trash
