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
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.
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
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.
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
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 😂
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.

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).
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..
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
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.
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.
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.
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.

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?

16:00 cgb talked so much that he oversaw that he curved out from a 2-lander xD
End of game 1 is the happiest I've ever seen CGB... and he's playing Mono-Red. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Big Red, very different. Important distinction.

Big red makes my heart happy.
Same
Such sincere joy on Brash crackling =))) Congrats CGB! That was entertaining indeed!
Brash Taunter is a fun card! This is a neat combo
This is what Mono-Red should be; Big spell do big things.
im a simple man; I see Brash Taunter, I click.
Really really love the mtga breakdown afterwords. Great stuff as always!
Lol loved the reaction when you got double bone crushed, hit me in the feels.

GGs
Me over here trying to build a variation of this with only 2 rares and 2 Mythics in my bank...
You peaked on the first game. What a play that was!
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???
As usual, I watch your video the day after and realize why I was suddenly seeing this exact deck in so many matchups yesterday.
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
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😁
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
That first game was just incredible.
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.
Fun overlooked detail that you missed in the second game, bonecrusher giant actually ignores protection, so the alseid can't save from stomp.

The thumbnail image of Crackle with Power looks like a steak! Hahaha.
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
omg I called the last play of the second video. so heartbreaking 😭
The return of Overtly Gone Red.
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.
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

Nice to see a different version of big red.
I've played with brash taunter for a while now, its a great card that shows just how many people do not read the cards lol
The thumbnail says "This is gonna hurt,". Did anyone else hear it read in Batty Koda's voice from Ferngully
I like that reference. That is a nice reference.
@@TonyDeanEmbley Thanks lol. Batty is my spirit animal
I was recognized, so happy! Lol
Zee mus, awesome.

They should, and they do. Check the stats on the Enforcer before the Ox is cast and after it's countered.
Wait, you're telling me that exists a CGB control deck without Yorion?

step 1: fill mono red deck with a f-ton of colorless mana sources

so 6 colorless and 20 red

You have to hit different targets with crackle.

I think 2-3 storm’s wrath to wipe the Winota board might be useful. On the draw less so ofc.
Epic first game!!
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
Lol 😂 he said Bone Crusher invitational . Man that's exactly how I feel this game is right now.
When you play jank you gotta be one with the jank. Or the jank won't be janky enough to jank out your opponent!
whole vid had such a range of emotions. shuffler clownin' hard lmao
This is Mono Red, this is mono red
Lol, the double stomp
Yes... Let the mono-Red flow through you...

I feel I would have to run Storm's Wrath or even Crush the Weak in this meta, since aggro decks feel so prevalent.
Use Dual Strike. Foretell it early, duplicate Irencrag Feat. Turn 5 20 damage to face.
46:58 Lunch time LUL KNECK
I don't like red that much but that first game got me wheezing
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.
That was epic..🤟🤟
Toralf, God of Furry would be an interesting thing in this deck if you could get it to stick to the board
No, mono-red doing its thing means 1st turn Ferv Champ, 2nd turn Robber, 3rd turn Anax, and 4th turn Bonecrush face then Cleave-kill u...Lol
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.
Brash taunter into irencrag crackle is a fun idea
So wouldnt you be able to do 20 dmg to face with 8 mana? Havent watched the video yet. You can pick the same target right?

Nice deck cgb.
