This "mono-black 4-drop mystery spot montage" was a great video idea. Really unique for your videos, and a great way to keep us watching and waiting to see what crazy 4-drop is next on the depth chart. :)
Imagine being on ladder, you regonize CGB, he plays mono-black, you know CBG, you know he plays all the good cards, you envision the entire decklist in your mind, you got him! CGB proceeds to slam down a Bloodvial Purveyor and pass turn.
The four drop exhibition was awesome! This and mono red draw have been my favorite recent videos by far. They are good decks with cheap land bases and most of the rares are good, staple cards that are safe crafts. Always love to see CGB versions of the top BO1 decks!
Great video as always. Made some changes to the shell and am quite enjoying it. The scavengers are helping a lot on mono blue and legends matchups.

The name convention of these recent videos gets funnier every time I see it. My prediction of Next video title: "It's Mono White except there's more exception clauses every game." It's a mono white stax video
I, too, absolutely loved that silly blood aggro deck. Simple as heck and centering on the kind of card a lot of people probably /axed/ from the usual Rakdos artifact sacrifice stuff. It's like, almost spiteful, like lol I'm gonna kick your butt with something everyone dismissed as a weird limited gimmick card
I noticed the angle you have set up for the camera and monitors makes you look like a intense/angry/evil mastermind. Pretty sure it's from the way you have to drastically off-center your eyes to be able to see the screens mixed with the slightly downward angle of the camera. Once I noticed couldn't stop seeing it. :)
I'd say one factor that may push dross and purveyor (and even obliterator to an extent) over the rest is that they cant be removed profitably with a Nahiri's Warcrafting, A key removal spell in the mono red matchup that they need to run in order to not lose on the spot to sheoldred.
I wonder if they would change Bloodline Purveyor to, " your opponent cant sacrifice permanents during your turn" , if that might make him viable for the four drop slot? Maybe as a 2 of.
What a cool idea for a vid! Great stuff man, how about a deck which aggressively plays chrome host seedshark? Love that card and the incubate mechanic but I just cant make it work 😢
It surprises me that you don’t have any Urborg Scavengers in there at all. It’s such a good card considering it can remove a card any time it attacks and gains abilities. I love that one and swap out some Trespassers for a couple.
I say the Deans in Strixhaven were way more useless than the Defilers. Defiler of vigor is a pretty good card. Mono green just has no early game right now.
imho the only playable defiler is Defiler of Vigour, aka 5 mana green 6/6 trample with all your creatures get a +1/+1 counter when you play a green permanent spell (which to be fair, is basically all monogreen does/has lol)
I don't think that invoke despair is broken. In previous standards it would have been fine. The problem is that we have perfect mana now. Slow lands, fast lands, triomes, pain lands...it is no problem having all colours all the time. If the BBBB would be a real downside meaning that you would have to play mono black to get access to invoke despair, only few would complain.
Someone complained mono-black was bad now? What? I'm running a consistent but jank mono-black aggro Phyrexian Tribal and still win over 60% on BO1 ladder.
The eidolon cycle in theros beyond death was close to as bad as the defiler having only one good card. The charms from ne capena where also pathetic along with the shrine cycle
I really want to goto too many games but they're out of their mind if they think I'm paying $120 for my wife and I to just get in. It's a shame because it's right around the corner from me.
He hadn’t yet lost the selesnya match. Kami would’ve only gotten 2 thru and died. Trespasser next turn trades into naturalist and they could’ve flooded out. Way to lower defiler’s played win rate 😐

That statue deck actually seems pretty cool
i tried it out in anvil for a little while, it was neat.
@@HomeCookinMTG do you have the deck list plz?
The game against the statuette deck was crazy
That rakdos deck with the statuettes was a very cool brew. I'm a fan of it.
I love how this whole video was CGB basically saying, "Quit complaining about Invoke Despair, monoblack, you're still powerful."

I love this concept! Very creative, keeps things entertaining!

Imagine the statue game but instead of Sorin it's Sheoldred.
Smart
that rakdos34 deck was hilarious. That Vampire's Kiss card was borderline trolling you.
Great video as always. Made some changes to the shell and am quite enjoying it. The scavengers are helping a lot on mono blue and legends matchups.

I like this title theme you've been doing. Makes me chuckle
Thanks for the daily uploads. It makes my day better
CGB said Deluge right every single time in todays video. I’m impressed
Enlighten me! What is the norm? Deloogey?
16:30 We got a New Bankbuster for the Rakdos Midrange Build 😂
43:40 poor Karn, he tried so hard to give you that lethal and you missed it
Please explain the lethal?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Draft chaff is truly CGB's kryptonite
that rakdos vampire deck actually looked fun to play
This would make a great series!
I, too, absolutely loved that silly blood aggro deck. Simple as heck and centering on the kind of card a lot of people probably /axed/ from the usual Rakdos artifact sacrifice stuff. It's like, almost spiteful, like lol I'm gonna kick your butt with something everyone dismissed as a weird limited gimmick card
I LOVE THE TITLE
Streetcar Named Desire? Nah, A Bus Named Glutton
CGB: Defilers suck!
*Defiler of Vigor has entered the chat*
Lol, against mono red: "Mono red, finnaly some lunch!" Lol, that was a good one.
Cool video concept. Thanks, CGB!
Very neat idea🤍💙
"Poison without creatures isn't scary."
*Laughs in Dimir proliferate*
Let’s play the Statue deck next 😅
Karn no pants!!! that was awesome.
I noticed the angle you have set up for the camera and monitors makes you look like a intense/angry/evil mastermind. Pretty sure it's from the way you have to drastically off-center your eyes to be able to see the screens mixed with the slightly downward angle of the camera. Once I noticed couldn't stop seeing it. :)
The defiler of vigor + the great henge + elves is insane
And CGB said the Defilers were pathetic... 😂
I've found uses for 3 of the 4 defilers. They're not as bad as he says they are.
That last game was frickin hilarious. As soon as you started using that voice I lost it 😂
Did you try Phyrexian Puppeteer? Pretty good 4 drop if you have some 123 CMC creatures and 2 life if you draw a 2nd card. Sleeper is great for this.
Ye, it along with sheoldred In my training grounds deck with faeri mastermind 😈
This style of video is fantastic
This is a great idea ! Swapping gives us more options to save on wildcards, and allows more strategies. thx!
Opponent, please don’t attack Karn 🫥 39:09
That statue deck used to be my rakdos oni cult anvil deck. Meathook massacre made it incredibly strong before DMU came out
That was a really fun idea!
The final 4 drop being Karn SENT me Lol
The Karn reveal was true comedy.
you had me at mono black
Statuette deck confirmed as the Jin Gitaxias-Prismatic Bridge's successor
That Karn was definitely... unexpected 😅
statuette X jin X prismatic bridge X madness
I'd say one factor that may push dross and purveyor (and even obliterator to an extent) over the rest is that they cant be removed profitably with a Nahiri's Warcrafting, A key removal spell in the mono red matchup that they need to run in order to not lose on the spot to sheoldred.
Careful CGB, all those agents might be taking you down that sleeper-y slope to becoming an aggro player.
My man straight up denied the invasion.
I’m gonna be testing the Sheoldred deck! New to the game so this should be interesting!
What a cool video idea! 👍
dang that final ending was painful :p
Good concept
Didn't he have lethal on that last game if he blitzed the underdog? 8 attackers each power >2, and only 5 blockers. 6 life left. What am I missing?
That statuette deck was *chef’s kiss* 👌
That was a nice clinic ^^
Is there a way to cheat P Obliviator onto the field during the assign blockers step? I feel like that would cause an auto scoop
I wonder if they would change Bloodline Purveyor to, " your opponent cant sacrifice permanents during your turn" , if that might make him viable for the four drop slot? Maybe as a 2 of.
Cool concept !
I don't have tainted adversary, what's is a different option for a 2 Mana creature?
What a cool idea for a vid! Great stuff man, how about a deck which aggressively plays chrome host seedshark? Love that card and the incubate mechanic but I just cant make it work 😢
That rakdos blood token deck was mean. I want it.
Thats a great video idea, we need more of those (totally not bot)
It surprises me that you don’t have any Urborg Scavengers in there at all. It’s such a good card considering it can remove a card any time it attacks and gains abilities. I love that one and swap out some Trespassers for a couple.
Big and stupid is always better than just stupid.
I say the Deans in Strixhaven were way more useless than the Defilers. Defiler of vigor is a pretty good card. Mono green just has no early game right now.
Thanks CGB.
"rakdos34" Hmm, I wonder if they play rakdos. Y U P.
An Ayara’s Oathsworn or two is also good where you have the underdog.
Ive found mono black just not able to hang with the ramp decks that I face every day.
maybe main deck a bunch of duress and stuff like that
this video is exiting
Leaning into the algo with these titles 😂
You should do this in every color.
Does anyone have the deck list for that statuette deck? Looked like a lot of fun and prob cheap to craft
i idid play against that statuette guy recently too ! how funny ! i did beat him up with mono blue tho (eheh)
This is awesome. You should do this more often.
Archfiend my beloved
imho the only playable defiler is Defiler of Vigour, aka 5 mana green 6/6 trample with all your creatures get a +1/+1 counter when you play a green permanent spell (which to be fair, is basically all monogreen does/has lol)
that Karn so powerful tho
Accept your destiny and build that statuette deck CGB!
Karn can draw cards, you know.
I don't think that invoke despair is broken. In previous standards it would have been fine. The problem is that we have perfect mana now. Slow lands, fast lands, triomes, pain lands...it is no problem having all colours all the time. If the BBBB would be a real downside meaning that you would have to play mono black to get access to invoke despair, only few would complain.
Rakdos34 with statues FTW!-)
What's worse than the set of defilers? Anyone else remember the old Bringers?
Seeing the different cards each game was just so funny and I don't even know why.
You have to build statues
I didn't even know that statue was a card lol. Cool deck though.
It’s bad, and invoke wasn’t broken!
There's no room for one or two BTM?
i love this video
I love it when CGB gets clowned by some premade deck a 12 year old kid just bought as his 1st MTG purchase
Someone complained mono-black was bad now? What? I'm running a consistent but jank mono-black aggro Phyrexian Tribal and still win over 60% on BO1 ladder.
My god, such hate for the defilers. At least Vigor is goated in brawl! Lol.
Need to see a statuette video now
Am sad that TMG is on the other side of the US from me. Have a great time CGB.
The eidolon cycle in theros beyond death was close to as bad as the defiler having only one good card. The charms from ne capena where also pathetic along with the shrine cycle
Some of those charms see play though
Bant control when
Jank week!! I'll take it ;)
Bloodvial Purveyor is best 4 drop. People don't know what it is and won't read it haha
I really want to goto too many games but they're out of their mind if they think I'm paying $120 for my wife and I to just get in. It's a shame because it's right around the corner from me.
Nobody expected the new statue meta
He hadn’t yet lost the selesnya match. Kami would’ve only gotten 2 thru and died. Trespasser next turn trades into naturalist and they could’ve flooded out. Way to lower defiler’s played win rate 😐
