The best card to pair with Thrillseeker is Questing Beastcaller since you can sack it for the big damage backup ability, then put the counters on the Thrillseeker and nearly double the burn with another sack. You can easily burn out an opponent with 17 damage or so out of nowhere. Thrillseeker is also bonkers with Cacophony Scamp.
@@LordidudeIt's similar to how a 1/1 token is equal to half of one card in value. The adventure is normally over cost by one mana in comparison to it's effect normally on a card. Take the new whale for example. It can bounce a creature for two mana. Normally that effect cost one. Hopefully this helped.
Its not a 2 for 1 an adventure card has just some extra value printed on it so you can say its like 1 an a half card. (Same as scry one is equal to drawing half a card. Put a Land bottom and you have skipped a dead draw but did not draw a card)
8:50 You have Halana&Alena with rage for a total of 5 power, Migloz with H&A 5 power boost for a total 9 of power and Ruby with her "4 power or more +2/+2" boost for a total of 6 power. That's exactly 20, unless I missed something. Did you miss that p/t boost from Ruby? I know I did it initially. Also, I think it's the blue players being blue and saying that you're a terrible player _for_ playing aggro, not that you're terrible _at_ playing aggro, lol. Edit: Oh, you caught it ten seconds afterwards. My bad.
I just realized by watching this video that Ruby is a two CMC mana creature with haste and i dont know how that slipped under my radar during spoilers.
8:45 not sure how you were counting here - you had perfect lethal. Pump Halana and Alena to 5, Migloz gets haste and 5 counters so it’s attacking for 9, and Ruby gets +2/+2 from her ability so you attack for 5 + 9 + 6 = 20 exactly Edit: you saw the +2/+2 from Ruby later but not sure how you got to 19 before that haha
Questing Druid seemed to overperform. I think people were unnecessarily low on the card. An already decent creature attached to a draw spell we already know is good seems incredibly flexible. An aggro card and a prowess card that provide card advantage in decks that like it is underrated.
I haven't been following the previews, so this is the first I've seen of it, but improving an already played card *then stapling a creature to the back* seems busted to me.
Final game, had the opponent not had interaction, the thrillseeker alone was lethal. When CGB played the thrillseeker, the counters go on Raiju pumping it up to a 5/5, then you swing with the remaining three creatures, pumping Raiju to a 6/6. The other creatures are modified dealing two from the Raiju's ability, then you sacrifice the Raiju with the last remaining mana to deal six and lethal!
I've been playing a temur version of something similar to mythic since a few months ago. Its kinda gross when your supposedly aggro deck has to discard to hand size on turn 5, while the control deck blows up literally everything you play.
@lucid6535 your right about that he could not wait till attack but he could wait for the opp to pay and the trigger on the stack so opp wastes the extra mana
@@busTedOaS Incorrect. From judge rulings on Gatherer: After you pay the {1W} cost one or more times, a second ability triggers. Players may respond to the new ability at that point. As that ability resolves, Intrepid Adversary gets its counters.
Not sure I'm right either, but couldn't you have backed up etching, attacked with raiju, put the raiju counter on thrillseeker, raiju trigger does 3, sac etching for 5 to the face and they're dead?
The same reason one can't type a single and simple sentence without a typo. Thinking is hard, especially when one is simultaneously going out of their way to be entertaining, while pre-editing and narrating.
Imagine if Kumano wasn't balanced! Would of been a CLEAN move on the Kaito - I - Kumano Faces Kakkazan deals 1 damage to each opponent and each planeswalker they control. ;( Title card is perfect by the way - great name
I believe that last game was a L either way If Monstrous rage went on raiju, it would be bounced by Ottawara If it went on the etching, they could bounce it, leave the raiju and it would still not be lethal, but their turn would be the same, attack all, win with sheoldred
Man, do I hate thalia... my archenemy is still farewell, but you see here the wicked lass becomes good as soon as your deck is remotely interesting. Ban please, better late than 1 more year
Caution: this isn't really a "Mythic Contender" deck. After spending a couple days running this, its barely holding it's own in gold league. The meta is built around stopping mono red, so this rarely wins early, and it has very little stamina to go long. I'd say its disadvantaged against almost any other deck on the ladder. It's also very rare heavy on cards that won't be useful in other decks. Highly regret spending wildcards on it. Its a very fun deck, but not at all competitive.
Loving mono black rats Climbed to platinum 2 playing black red electrostatic infantry and manaform hellkites. But mono black rats took me to diamond 3 so far. Not bad I think considering I started mtga 2 weeks ago and my limited collection
I know I'm weird, but I'm glad there's no rotation on standard this year. Not because it improves standard per se, but because it now means there are sets on standard that aren't on alchemy and sets on alchemy that aren't on standard. If they rotate together all sets on standard are also on alchemy (though yes, some cards work differently).
way too much thinking for aggro. you allow your opponent so much time to think as well. aggro should push and push and push so they have no time to think, you want them to make hasty decissions because they try to adapt to your speed. and you should attack each turn to overwhelm them, drain their removal options quickly. maybe that deck needs more front line cannon fodder creatures.
Poor oppenents, Sure he has to think about his next play… Thats why i stop playing Mtg Arena. Too many breaks …. cause super slow players or stupid trolls
Still can't get myself to play standard on Arena anymore thanks to delaying rotation. Combined with shuffler/matchmaker, and it's just a huge no. Shame, cos MTG is so good. Paper it is for the time being.
It's an amazing thing to see a control player's brain work with an aggro deck

48:58 I legitimately forgot that Rona could transform. I only ever see people use it as a Merfolk Looter that can untap.
Spell Pierce has gotten much better with all of these adventure creatures having instant/sorcery on them and denying the creature is a a 2 for 1.
1.5 x 1. Adventure are still 1 card even if they have inherent extra value.
@La_Lente_Oscura can you rephrase that? I'm not understanding why it's 1,5

Reminds me of that dwarf rune deck from before last rotation. "Suddenly dead" aggro gotta be one of my favorite genders
Gonna try it out. seems nuts!

its better than a prowess
I saw nothing but positivity for the card in my circles so ig it depends where you were looking.
@@qwerte6948 It is. I was referring to it as a card that would see play in a prowess style of deck with a bunch of spells.

@@klarthkoken1925 its not a strict upgrade on reckless impulse though. only until next end step is quite a bit worse. instant Speed is nice though.

That second game... winning on the draw against mono-red on turn 4.
Love the counter, it's so small and meaningless but makes a difference
It causes opponents to take 1 extra damage from Thundering Raiju because the counter makes CGB a modified creature.
Ruby is such an awesome card, thanks for the deck!
I suppose it is nice to see a viable Gruul deck again
Oh Sensei…you taught this aggro boi how to play control. How I wish I could teach you the aggro way.
Here at the start
Lez go!
6:45 “…this is what Protoss does…”
at 29:00 wouldn't it be smarter to wait for the opponent to attack then blow up the adversary?
Or let opp pay, put the trigger on the stack, then kill it? I'm almost certain you get a chance to interact with the adversaries
Adversary would've been a 4/2.
@lucid6535 your right about that he could not wait till attack but he could wait for the opp to pay and the trigger on the stack so opp wastes the extra mana
@@Hexrampantyou don't get to react after opponent pays the mana. next time you get priority it is a 4/2.

@ 44:21 why not discard the treatment he knows about already??
aggro player roping out (shakes head)
control elitism aside, mtg has a high skill ceiling with any deck. isn't that why we love it?
i really want this deck!!! I love it!
Hi ! Could it be possible to do a IZZET Deck with Prowess ?
Bad aggro player? No. Bad compared to CGB's normal level of play, yes. Still not bad.
51:54 and they say aggro takes no thought
In the last game the opponent seemed to intentionally hold before taking action so that the other gets desensitized to the timer.
Thanks CGB.
I'm confused- in the last game why didn't the opponent just use Skrelv to make Rona unblockable?
good stream and ggs man :)
I’m just now returning from an almost 6 month break from MtG so obviously this was my first stop.
Needs less Role cards, since you can't stack them. (10 maybe instead of 12) Maybe I'll play some number of Tyvar's stand
Not sure I'm right either, but couldn't you have backed up etching, attacked with raiju, put the raiju counter on thrillseeker, raiju trigger does 3, sac etching for 5 to the face and they're dead?
see 1/1 in 3 drop gruul is a bit weird it used to be 4/3 or 5/5
When I win a game on arena, I didn't beat my opponent, I beat the shuffler and matchmaker.
Absolutely wild no swiftspear
That thrillseeker could go well in your infinite mana deck.
I'm pretty new at magic but how can one we terrible at continually attacking???

I think The Rock said it best: "Know your role, and shut your mouth."
not working for me sadly, currently at around 40% wr :(
