@@johnjarvinen No, but the deck I run has enough removal to buy time until turn 3 or 4 by which time Squirming Emergence is online. Unless the opponent goes first and opens with Leyline, there's no out to that.
Aggro being this aggressive is a direct result of the power creep of everything in general. Aggro has to be this strong because if it’s not it will get absolutely destroyed by all the other strategies if it hasn’t won by 4. The power level of everything needs to come down not just aggro. But with 3 years to rotations and everything else. I guess this is just what standard is now forever. Can’t wait till content creators are making videos showing standard decks beating legacy decks from 3 years ago.
why does everyone keep saying this? this metta is EXACTLY WHAT WIZZARDS WANTS!!! they want 30 second toilet games with zero interaction and no thought required. just dump cards and win on turn 2. rinse repeat
It's on purpose to please short attention span kids that don't want games to last more than 2 minutes. Not because of the power level of the others decks.
Indeed. I have a Squirming Emergence pile that can consistently get a big bomb out on turn 3. Any aggro deck does that doesn't have the turn 3 win, has most likely lost by turn 4.
In my version I cut Optimistic Scavenger and put Flowerfoot Swordmaster, for two reasons... You don't need that amount of "snow ball"... And the deck will be mice only. So if turn two you have to bring down Manifold Mouse, it can give Flowerfoot double strike.
If you want a cool aggro deck, try out the Arabella token aggro deck. I ran it all the way to Mythic for september :) I've been using Arabella, Delney, Anim Pakal, Urabrask's Forge, Lightning Helix, Splitskin Doll, Clockwork Percussionist, the white and red enduring enchantment creatures, and Jolly Balloon Man.

I hate that this is the meta. If you can't play removal on turn 1, you have a 50% chance of losing. Then I build to counter mono red and get matched against everything else.
@@phantomsnoopy it’s nowhere near 50%. The t2 is way overblown. The way people complain about it you’d think it’s 3x more consistent than it really is. I’ve piloted the deck from day 1 of duskmorune, it’s not consistent at all.
@@CatherineAllen-c7y even just the RRR deck could go down to 3 cards and win sometimes. Just find Leyline, win game. The featured aggro crap pile doesn't rely solely on the turn two with the enchantment. It just always shreds (and now it also has removal too)
As much as I like new decks/brews... When I saw this decklist in the meta on untapped, I just thought, "isn't this just monored with extra steps?" 😂😂😅 Jesus, man. We need to stop the red decks at any cost.
For my ppl out there. Shelter by ghosts it's not unbeatable btw. You just have to run no where to run. It's kill stuff though ward and it's very good even against stupid heartfire
for sure the aggro decks are popping, i'm still running the forge deck with a lot of removal for this mono reds, no new cards, and still doing good, even against control decks
I just hope Bo1 will hit rock bottom so we can recognize the most played Arena format is also a real format that deserves proper consideration in balancing in regards to Aggro.
Give me a break, aggro is necessary for a healthy format. It wasn’t that long ago that standard was all about staring at each other for an hour until one player was able to take enough extra turns to win the game. Where was aggro then? The funny thing is, aggro is easy to beat if you really want to. You all are just mad because you can’t beat it without getting owned by everything else..😂
I've been playing a similar deck lately but white/green. The white cards are basically the same, but instead of unwanted remake I run two get lost and two trapped in the screen as they can hit more stuff and screen is an enchantment. Green has Toadstool Admirer which starts with ward 2, if you get sheltered by ghosts on it that stacks to ward 4. It also has Audacity which can close out games and gives card draw if destroyed. Shardmage is nice and 4 of in the deck, but you don't always have it and requires saving 1 mana in the pool which can often make you to slow to beat control decks --especially reanimator control that Valgavoth out on turn 4. It's super valuable because you don't have a lot of card draw or creatures in this deck so you are EXTREMELY vulnerable to removal. Any black or blue control deck is bad a match-up, but with Toadstool you have a fighting chance. Fear of Surveillance is nice to have in the deck at 2 copies and is another uncommon. It's cheap, it's another few bodies, is an enchantment and has vigilance which is actually pretty useful if after you beef it up with the Auras. I also run Enduring Curiosity at 2 for card draw and to proc enchantment effects, which it does when it enters or dies and re-enters. Calix guided by faith at 2 of is nice to have as well but not totally necessary . Even the budget version of this deck just wrecks every mono red player, the cheap removal combined with the life gain and quick ramp up is too much for them to overcome even if they drop Leyline turn 1. I also run a black/white version with 2x Overlord of Balemurk (which is helpful for getting to creatures and an enchantment), 4x fear of lost teeth and typical black removal. It's not as good but is fun and flavorful as every creature in the deck is an enchantment and aside from the classic removal spells are all Duskmourn cards. Still crushes monored.
Light-paws in paper is just asking for early onset rheumatoid arthritis 😂😂 I own a copy in the 99 of another deck, and it's hilarious how much time a single dude takes
@@Lemon_Sage9999 I run it now on the 99, because it eats removal, I have 0 intention on putting more than 2 auras on it. Also the play pattern found it boring (besides the shuffle every f turn). I enjoy the randomness of games.
The biggest problem right now is there are too many good 1 drop red creatures that already want you to spell sling with too many 1 mana boosts at instant speed. And then we add resonance
Not saying it was great, but I ran a WUG enchantments deck with Fae Flight up to the edge of Mythic before rotation. So sweet with the Jukai Naturalist down and one blue mana open, nobody sees it coming. You want to exile my Calix? Nope, and sweet ETB triggers! and now he flies! So sad when rotation arrived... But what's this? Shardmage's Rescue? I can flash a hexproof enchantment for W now? Nice! AND Optimistic Scavenger for Generous Visitor?! Oh enchantments, it's like you never left! Now for Naya.... Edit wait, Scavenger is enters, not cast. That was the hangup with roles tokens as enchantments. Now they work. Hmm.
Just as CGB explained the deck, I could feel his pain of playing Red and Rush - White is just a little addition to ease the weight on his blue soul. Stay strong, my friend!
Bruh this was my secret tech you are blowing my deck up. Shhhhhh no one is playing around enchantments yet. (no, I stole it from mtg goldfish but still though!)
Hey CGB, really hope you try another format because all these MONTHS of watching you play vs the same monored deck over and over again are killing me. It feels like the old Dimir Rogues standard. It feels miserable to play against and even to watch other people face the deck.
I'm surprised no one mentioned him missing lethal at 8:28 by playing the second hero instead of killing his mouse on the enemy turn, activating valiant and hitting the face for 8.
Best of 1 has gotten to a point where I scoop if I'm not on the play. I don't even look at my hand. I'll leave quicker than a streamer leaving a Call of Duty match.
Regretably, I tried this deck out, and it's... basically Mono-red. Without the fling, but Life Link instead. *sigh* No wonder BO1 is the worst format in MTG.
I absolutely hate when a new top creator video comes out, all of the sudden you just see one particular deck just flooding matchmaking and you think to yourself, why am I running into this deck all of the sudden? Then you eventually open TH-cam and immediately see that deck being showcased by a content creator… DARN YOU CGB! Still love watching your content though haha
Honestly the card pool is a bit too large. The only real hit for this deck would be some lands? Though cutting its consistence for mana would hurt a lot
I really believe WotC is a bit stuck in their ways with MtG or they just don't care enough about digital to change anything. Usually in MtG there's rule 0 and more competitive environments used to be just tournaments where there's stakes and you play much fewer games than on online ladder, so busted stuff or unfun play patters don't matter as much, i.e. in tournaments you're there to win, not necessarily to have fun matches. Whereas in online ladder constructed you have a very cut throat environment because no rule 0, everyone netdecks and metas get solved very quickly these days. But it is also quite low stakes so you are still mainly there to have *fun playing the matches* . At least that should be the main motivation. But I feel like WotC don't really design sets with online constructed experience in mind, *especially* not Bo1. Which is a shame, cause in principle I really like MtG the most out of all the TCGs but online constructed bo1 is all I'll really ever play. For an example of how it could be different one could actually look to HS where yes it's not all rosey either at the moment, but in you have (ironically) much fewer completely oneside games decided by RNG and you play the game for a few more turns (usually, and I'm not talking about controi snoozefests where one side lost 5 turns ago but they're still playing), than has been my experience with MtGA for the past 3 years.
Will be a hard time when you not like this kind of decks play or play against - as Standard is 3 years now they will be here a long time - and the next sets must always be "better, faster, stronger" - otherwise the cards would not be sold...So: buckle up.... (or change the game)
I think this is just a worse version of the green white “boggles” variant. I’ve been crushing with a 80% win rate over mono red leyline (or mono with 4 black / green cards) This seems like it’s just mashing two decks together and you lose the “boggles from one and lose the explosive power form the other. Maybe I’m wrong. Just seems I’ve been beating down on decks like this fairly easy. To be fair I’m in upper gold / lower platinum. We will see as it ranks.
This deck currently has the highest winrate. That includes the good and bad players. You might just be a good player carrying a still good but not as good deck through the lower ranks.
@@nulshift huh, may have to try this as well since I have nearly all the cards. I guess just looking at it from the sidelines it just seems like mashing the two decks together and losing some important pieces along the way. I’ll give it a go and see what’s what. I’ve been trying to get manifest to work with vanifair, but it has been real bad. Missing something. You having any luck with new standard BO1? I need to make a side board and commit to a deck. BO1 red decks are getting old quickly. I’d say I’m slightly better than average player. Not trying to sound like an ass, just kinda know where I fit in. I’m no pro, but better than the avg arena player. Typically in constructed and draft I hover in diamond. Never really push to mythic. I’m free to play and try to be choosey where I spend my wildcards / gems.
@@HTXVintageVibes Only reason I can win at all in Bo1 is because I play unranked. So I don't actually go up against any of these decks because of the deck weighting. I was unable to compete with them at all when the set first released though, because the cards weren't weighted yet. But I'm someone who refuses to copy a deck. I tried to be a purely self-brewing player. Unfortunately that's too cost prohibitive for it to be fun for me.
@@nulshift I take a list and use it as is, then I play around with it to optimize. Brewing on arena is too prohibitive. Especially for free to play. I’ve also found arena can be fun for lower power decks. Or even limited in the jump in format
@@HTXVintageVibes Yeah, low power is fine so long as you're playing a weighted format. But you just gotta let all the overpowered stuff get weighted first. My raccoons deck is okay, but it was still getting matched nonstop against the aura deck when duskmourne was new.
AT 8:16 instead of you playing the 2nd hero u could have killed him by not playing the 2nd hero and saving remake and killing him during his upkeep since he would get the 8th counter before it dies
As if exiling a non land permanent and giving a ward2 wasn't enough, here have lifelink as well🎉🎉🎉😂wizards has become the powercreeping clowncar running 90 mph off the side of a steep mountain with money flying out the window, on its way to its fiery imminent demise Let's all enjoy the ride weee......
Hmm what should we reprint? Ah yeah, that thing that costs 1 mana and at worst gives +1/+1 and first strike, but in reality will be giving like +3/+3 or higher by turn 3 or 4 (and, first strike, still)
I never liked hearing people complain about the meta and broken deks, but now I gotta give it to them. This is nonsense. There's no variety, all decks look the same, the exact same, if you want to win or at least not loose every single game. And then again, new cards only deepen that. I hope this changes and we get to see many different deks work again

Because that's... not what hexproof does? It stops your opponents from targeting your permanents. It doesn't care about what kind of spell it is.
9:42 the miss is that the smaller of the two mice didn’t have trample
Couldn’t he have just opponents upkeep unwanted remake on his own creature. To buff it to 8 and kill his opponent a turn earlier? With the death dmg
I absolutely hate when a new top creator video comes out, all of the sudden you just see one particular deck just flooding matchmaking and you think to yourself, why am I running into this deck all of the sudden? Then you eventually open TH-cam and immediately see that deck being showcased by a content creator… DARN YOU CGB! Still love watching your content though haha
Cgbs captions for the thumbnails REMAIN UNDEFEATED. lmao perfect one here, "more trash", indeed.... 😂😂
I would never thought i would say this but the game was better before rotation lol
I was actually enjoying BLB standard
My stats in Platin with this deck:
On the Play: 5/6
On the Draw: 3/9
I don't even play the game, but this feels like the same thing that happened to Yu Gi Oh in terms of games being over instantly.
Honestly the card pool is a bit too large. The only real hit for this deck would be some lands? Though cutting its consistence for mana would hurt a lot
So, you doing a new light paws brawl deck soon?
They making splash pointless giving colors effects out of their element
This happened a decade ago
Is this the beginning of the end of CGB playing MTG?
ngl cackled on the first round. great content for boros fans
You either die a hero, or live long enough to become the vilain
lol welcome to mono red (or monored with extra steps) where you can bongle every play and still be force-fed wins by wizzards algorithm
I once again invite you to join the gamers in Bo3 where standard is in an amazing spot
Boros Brothers, come! These heathenous control mages wont crucify themselves!
Gonna need a 1 mana discard a card exile target creature real soon
I really believe WotC is a bit stuck in their ways with MtG or they just don't care enough about digital to change anything. Usually in MtG there's rule 0 and more competitive environments used to be just tournaments where there's stakes and you play much fewer games than on online ladder, so busted stuff or unfun play patters don't matter as much, i.e. in tournaments you're there to win, not necessarily to have fun matches.
Whereas in online ladder constructed you have a very cut throat environment because no rule 0, everyone netdecks and metas get solved very quickly these days. But it is also quite low stakes so you are still mainly there to have *fun playing the matches* . At least that should be the main motivation. But I feel like WotC don't really design sets with online constructed experience in mind, *especially* not Bo1. Which is a shame, cause in principle I really like MtG the most out of all the TCGs but online constructed bo1 is all I'll really ever play.
For an example of how it could be different one could actually look to HS where yes it's not all rosey either at the moment, but in you have (ironically) much fewer completely oneside games decided by RNG and you play the game for a few more turns (usually, and I'm not talking about controi snoozefests where one side lost 5 turns ago but they're still playing), than has been my experience with MtGA for the past 3 years.
CGB is slowing dying before our eyes. The coroner's report will list Meta as the cause of death.
CGB says pile of trash but he only lost a handful of games throughout this whole episode. This deck is quite good
I think control can still win as long as your control deck has the capacity to go aggro when it needs to be!
4 years of this. yay...
The absolute state of best of one...
the power creep is hurting my eyes
Yeah! More of the overt go red villain arc!
Golgari midrange is still strong. Very versatile.
Just played against this for the first time. Absolute awful experience.
Wait, that’s a 1 mana destroy any creature?!?!?!?!?!!???!?!?!??! And an uncommon?$?$?’vh
Well can’t wait to for them to just ban a random control card to fix the meta.
Tell us how you REALLY feel CGB XD
I quit arena when embercleave just killed you from double digit live totals. I was told it got better. This does not seem better at all.
I appreciate your content playing in the background whilst I do my daily Arena task. On some real shit, though, Boros be some trash ass shit.
@cgb what happened to your brawl videos??
You might have to migrate to best of 3
Then we can see some real magic
Will be a hard time when you not like this kind of decks play or play against - as Standard is 3 years now they will be here a long time - and the next sets must always be "better, faster, stronger" - otherwise the cards would not be sold...So: buckle up.... (or change the game)
Where is the 1 Mana card to win the game...?
I think this is just a worse version of the green white “boggles” variant. I’ve been crushing with a 80% win rate over mono red leyline (or mono with 4 black / green cards)
This seems like it’s just mashing two decks together and you lose the “boggles from one and lose the explosive power form the other.
Maybe I’m wrong. Just seems I’ve been beating down on decks like this fairly easy. To be fair I’m in upper gold / lower platinum. We will see as it ranks.
This deck currently has the highest winrate. That includes the good and bad players. You might just be a good player carrying a still good but not as good deck through the lower ranks.
@@nulshift huh, may have to try this as well since I have nearly all the cards. I guess just looking at it from the sidelines it just seems like mashing the two decks together and losing some important pieces along the way. I’ll give it a go and see what’s what. I’ve been trying to get manifest to work with vanifair, but it has been real bad. Missing something. You having any luck with new standard BO1? I need to make a side board and commit to a deck. BO1 red decks are getting old quickly. I’d say I’m slightly better than average player. Not trying to sound like an ass, just kinda know where I fit in. I’m no pro, but better than the avg arena player. Typically in constructed and draft I hover in diamond. Never really push to mythic. I’m free to play and try to be choosey where I spend my wildcards / gems.
@@HTXVintageVibes Only reason I can win at all in Bo1 is because I play unranked. So I don't actually go up against any of these decks because of the deck weighting. I was unable to compete with them at all when the set first released though, because the cards weren't weighted yet.
But I'm someone who refuses to copy a deck. I tried to be a purely self-brewing player. Unfortunately that's too cost prohibitive for it to be fun for me.
@@nulshift I take a list and use it as is, then I play around with it to optimize. Brewing on arena is too prohibitive. Especially for free to play.
I’ve also found arena can be fun for lower power decks. Or even limited in the jump in format
@@HTXVintageVibes Yeah, low power is fine so long as you're playing a weighted format. But you just gotta let all the overpowered stuff get weighted first. My raccoons deck is okay, but it was still getting matched nonstop against the aura deck when duskmourne was new.
Show us on the doll where Aggro hurt you
It’s time to rotate mountains out of standard.
AT 8:16 instead of you playing the 2nd hero u could have killed him by not playing the 2nd hero and saving remake and killing him during his upkeep since he would get the 8th counter before it dies
As if exiling a non land permanent and giving a ward2 wasn't enough, here have lifelink as well🎉🎉🎉😂wizards has become the powercreeping clowncar running 90 mph off the side of a steep mountain with money flying out the window, on its way to its fiery imminent demise
Let's all enjoy the ride weee......
Hmm what should we reprint?
Ah yeah, that thing that costs 1 mana and at worst gives +1/+1 and first strike, but in reality will be giving like +3/+3 or higher by turn 3 or 4 (and, first strike, still)
Saw this deck today so often 🙄
Somehow this feels more braindead than playing modern yugioh
I never liked hearing people complain about the meta and broken deks, but now I gotta give it to them. This is nonsense. There's no variety, all decks look the same, the exact same, if you want to win or at least not loose every single game. And then again, new cards only deepen that. I hope this changes and we get to see many different deks work again
lose*
I can feel how much pain this brings you but thank you for sharing this list. It's really nice to see budget standard options.
