I honestly just tried making a deck earlier this week using Crackle with Power, but I never thought of the brasher combo. I've got some revisions to do. Thanks CGB!
Lol i have been playing a big red deck like that with craklr for a moment but i didn't included the brashtaunter meme in it. I'm kinda jealous not to have thought of this :D GGs
Between crawling barrens, faceless haven, and various castles I think field of ruin is in a really good spot right now. Definitely a worthy include in most mono/dual coloured decks
At 38:20, I'm a little confused. Isn't exiling cards for escape part of the cost? So regardless of if it gets countered shouldn't the chosen cards get exiled?
CGB I hava a question for you and the community. I m fiddling with a hate deck that focuses on things like Test of Talents, Necromentia or if I consider historic even Unmoored Ego and Lost Legacy. But I m kind of stuck deciding how to build around it. How much is too much, what should the win con be, how much handhate do I need for information on their deck etc. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
My brash capridor deck has been the only deck I've been ranking with for at least 4 months in historic. Only recently has the angels with big asses and even more ugin decks been the bane of its existence.
I did this with Blitz of the Thunder Raptor instead of Crackle. You can double it easily and stack the copies onto a taunter. 3 Mana for 30 damage isn't a rarity (assuming the taunter is on board, otherwise 8 mana). I actually built that deck (as Izzet) around Double Vision, but it would probably work (better?) without
Do you find Big Red to be viable climbing to mythic? I hit 87% mythic last month with my jund goodstuff deck, but I'm bored of it and looking for something fun and viable.
My first impression of the deck was like "wait, you're not missing cards? There are 60 cards in this deck?" Then I realized that impression was because CGB only plays with 80, when he plays with 60 it seems like incomplete
The biggest "miss" with this deck was not including the new "Dual Strike" from Kaldheim, allowing you to double your Irencrag Feat into 14 red, which makes Crackle with Power a 1-shot-kill.
Today I played my first strixhaven sealed( in paper) and I found the set to have very strong synergies but the problem is that even the mythic rares are pointed to be synergychal in the context of the set, so I completely agree in not buying the cosmetic for crackle with power, it won't be useful in the future..
First time I played against this I almost cried when I was just dead on turn four. Literally looked away while I clicked through the spell casting and didn’t realize what had happened until I was at zero and had to read the card to see why it killed me 😂
I've wanted to use Crackle With Power so badly I considered it in my Mono Red Historic Storm deck, since you often have infinite mana, as an alternative finisher to Grapeshot, but the deck is already so solid and tightly knit together that I'm afraid of touching it This should scratch that Crackle With Power itch
I think you could have won the game here (17:52), if you played the 4 mana spell that gives you seven red and a crackle directly after. You just hit them for exactly 20. Same at 12:19, you just had to crackle for x=2 to their face. Very fun video to watch though! (And spicy plays).
@@vitortakara7090 the point is you shouldnt really be complaining about drawing cards you put in your deck. But I guess complaining about the shuffler has already become his motto so he just have to do it whenever the distribution of cards isnt perfectly uniform.
@@BaronVonCount I agree that the shuffler complaining goes a bit on auto-pilot, but we're pretty far from just "not perfectly uniform". I'm no statistician, but for a deck with 23 % colorless mana sources, this kind of consistency seems...unlikely: Game 1: 4 out of 5 first mana sources are colourless. Game 2: 2 out of 4.

Fun thing is there are tons of people in social media claiming the shuffler is rigged yet there is no actual study that shows the statistical deviance, the few that exist actually conclude the data generated from the shuffler is very much within the expected.

CGB: "We're playing Monored but before you ge-" Everyone who watches Hell Good Game: "THEY PLAY MONORED THEY PLAY MONORED LA LA LA" - edit - WHOA that Brash Taunter+Crackle with Power is a good way to kill 20 life for economic cost! Didn't expect to see it in a Monored deck. Might pick that up for my Monored commander I've been toying with but worried there wasn't a good enough Red closer to bother with anything more than funny Death Bellow War Cry + Maurag Fury of Akoum with maybe some landfall shenanigans to take out maybe two players and go down to 1 v 1. But this...Oh this could be fun.
What would you do when you discard a tome? Crying all alone because that Ox done gone and made ya! and the oly way to get him is to… play another tome with a little bit of mana but that tome is gone, somewhere like a rock now, in and out of play now - I ain't got a mox (wow). So to you this is just a good time, but to me this is what I call MTG, yeahhhhahhh.
I think this deck needs crush the week, while it seems bad to 2 for 1 at three mana it solves so much of the current meta, solem doesn't draw annex doesn't create tokens and mono white/winota must have 1 mana to avoid red damage. because you're more of a control deck you often are sitting with open mana use two to foretell it and sit with soul seer or fire prophecy or bonecrusher to make sure it kills and exiles the most dangerous threat. Oh and sacrifice decks just lose and lose quickly.
New player and I already see Winnnnota everywhere. I was so sick of Winota and Dimir rogues I literally play most of my games with a Tergrid Discard deck and I just make them miserable. Makes me feel terrible but I love dismantling the control decks and mill decks brick by brick.
That. First. Game. Jeez. That was incredible.

16:00 cgb talked so much that he oversaw that he curved out from a 2-lander xD
That Crackle/Taunter combo is pretty sick
Assuming you can assemble it, which let’s be honest, isn’t likely
It's slow and dumb.
I love it.
Isn't Taunter unnecesary for the combo though? Just double target opponent face with Crackle instead?

Big Red, very different. Important distinction.

Such sincere joy on Brash crackling =))) Congrats CGB! That was entertaining indeed!
Brash Taunter is a fun card! This is a neat combo
Literally every deck CGB makes takes over the mythic ladder 😅 the minute the video drops
Yeah of corse lol people like to copy/past deck

im a simple man; I see Brash Taunter, I click.
This is what Mono-Red should be; Big spell do big things.
Really really love the mtga breakdown afterwords. Great stuff as always!
Me over here trying to build a variation of this with only 2 rares and 2 Mythics in my bank...
35:35 If I remeber correctly, this is the second time you do the exactly same thing.
Why the hell does that work like that?! The robber dosent die first right? Shouldnt they just go to the yard together???
I honestly just tried making a deck earlier this week using Crackle with Power, but I never thought of the brasher combo. I've got some revisions to do. Thanks CGB!

GGs
It's so cool that a pro Player Like you makes TH-cam Videos ❤️ Thank you so much cgb. This Deck is btw very Nice😁
You peaked on the first game. What a play that was!
Awesome CGB! That was a lot of fun. Next challenge is to build a deck using Exponential Growth and some creatures that can't be blocked
12:10 You take that back this instant. ಠ_ಠ Selfless Savior is the goodest boi. It doesn't matter whose side he's on.
As usual, I watch your video the day after and realize why I was suddenly seeing this exact deck in so many matchups yesterday.
Fun overlooked detail that you missed in the second game, bonecrusher giant actually ignores protection, so the alseid can't save from stomp.
That first game was just incredible.
I can see a crackle with power being incredible in multiplayer commander, casting it for like 10x and killing all of your opponents in one go

Bonecrusher Invitational, my sides 😂😂
Dual Strike works well here too, as I learned to my dismay last week.
Dual Strike + Irencrag --> Crackle With Power = 20 dmg on turn 5
Wait, you're telling me that exists a CGB control deck without Yorion?
At 38:20, I'm a little confused. Isn't exiling cards for escape part of the cost? So regardless of if it gets countered shouldn't the chosen cards get exiled?
They should, and they do. Check the stats on the Enforcer before the Ox is cast and after it's countered.
46:00 you should stomp their expert. then their party size is 0 and you don't have to discard. loving seeing some big red!!
The thumbnail image of Crackle with Power looks like a steak! Hahaha.

omg I called the last play of the second video. so heartbreaking 😭
15:35 Same in Historic mythic MTGA assistant's meta is lagging way behind.

Nice to see a different version of big red.

I’ve been having fun with double vision irencrag into a 20 damage crackle. Plus double vision can just be stupid value with blue card draw

That is what I do with in my deck. Sometimes it can be hard to get all three cards in hand to pull it off though but when it happens it's amazing
What a gruul deck with nyxbloom and crackle?
I think 2-3 storm’s wrath to wipe the Winota board might be useful. On the draw less so ofc.
Built a similar version in paper for the memes. Couldn't resist turbo ugin/stuffy doll in standard

Zee mus, awesome.
I play Crackle in a Jeskai deck with Inspired Ultimatum and shark Typhoon it wins alot of games !

You have to hit different targets with crackle.
Bonecrusher is such a good card that you can cast 2 stomps and 2 for 1 yourself to take out a threat and still feel good about it.
You feel good because its not a 2-for-1
I’m copy your deck Sultai. Thanks for decklist.
Been waiting for this video since list was posted yesterday. Could not figure this one out for some reason.
Toralf, God of Furry would be an interesting thing in this deck if you could get it to stick to the board
Lol 😂 he said Bone Crusher invitational . Man that's exactly how I feel this game is right now.
You should have put in a credits sequence after that first game.
I feel I would have to run Storm's Wrath or even Crush the Weak in this meta, since aggro decks feel so prevalent.
Yes... Let the mono-Red flow through you...
Brash taunter into irencrag crackle is a fun idea
whole vid had such a range of emotions. shuffler clownin' hard lmao
I don't like red that much but that first game got me wheezing
Use Dual Strike. Foretell it early, duplicate Irencrag Feat. Turn 5 20 damage to face.
Seven minutes and forty-five second until the shuffler complaining. I’d say “drink”, but if you were playing that drinking game you would be dead.
You should maybe try Toralf in this deck.
What about doing a cycle of „big“ decks of each color?
A mono red burn deck without Fiery Emancipation? Are you feeling ok CGB? 🤨
dual strike?
OOOO This is going to be good!!!!!!!
When you play jank you gotta be one with the jank. Or the jank won't be janky enough to jank out your opponent!
I love seeing cgb destroying rogues
Epic first game!!
That was epic..🤟🤟
step 1: fill mono red deck with a f-ton of colorless mana sources
step 2: draw a f-ton of colorless mana sources
step 3: blame the shuffler
not really he had 6 colorless lands, 14 mountains, 4 smashings, 1 valakut,1 spike
so 6 colorless and 20 red
