You know the Meta has takin' a turn when Mono Red feels like the good guy.
Please move your camera back over to the left, it makes it impossible to what cards are played
second that
@@MrKoellsch this x3
Please...
Impossible to what?
Watch the end of the video
don't take it personally.
but whoever is playing this deck, i'm automatically rooting for the other player by default.
You can take it personally from me that I want this deck to lose as much as possible.
Lol i feel the same way its so boring to watch, or play i am over it.
But MTG takes skill, it totally isn't a game full of bullshit RNG and unbeatable decks........
@@kikook222 i agree cheating in a agent of treachery etc has hardly any skill what so ever. I know Winota cheats stuff in as well, but i rarely see that card played when i play mtg arena its always agent or lurrus which is easy to deal with. Set down a leyline of the void, and people just scoop, thats why i just come up with my own ideas, build decks test them etc.
@@darkblaze64 Why would Yorion Agents scoop when Elspeth Conquers Death exists, and can be bounced/blinked until all your voids are exiled?
This one washes all of the jank out of you
I hate this deck so much, I was actually rooting for CGB to lose to mono-red. This is the darkest timeline.
Someone just watched community
People always hate on mono red, but they are far more evil decks out there that dont even let you play the game, at least you can interact with red lol
@@trbry. Essentially every deck in standard has zero choice games. Games over by T4, so your top 10 better be good. Its a pretty sad state of standard IMO.
Nesuns
What deck can you not interact with? What’s the difference between mono red in last standard and a deck that counters everything you play like simic flash, mono red was an absolute power house and would consistently kill you by turn 4 where even if you swept the board or answered problematic permanents they still had creatures on board to cleave due to anax, I don’t think anyone enjoys playing a game of magic where they just get completely run over
@@Vade700 just like with any deck that gets a nut draw can run you over. But red can run out of steam and get answered easier than a control deck. His turn 1 fervent can die to a turn 1 shock or be blocked by a 1/2, not to mention the amount of lifegain rn in meta, try that against a counter tribal/agent deck lol
I can forgive you playing monored, but Lucca agent is just too much.
At least agent lets you do your stuff for a little bit. With mono red your so busy trying to live you dont get to have ANY fun! :{
@@ahut757 This deck's winrate in bo1 is off the walls right now. Mono red is just annoying because its a coin flip rather than a strategy game..
this deck makes me wanna not play standard anymore
same here. It's just too much for me that 4 out of 5 games, I'm forced to plax against some Gyruda/Wynota/Lukka/Starrix deck that cheats a shitton of permanents into play turn 4...
I have been slaughtering this deck in mythic, lol.
look on the bright side...you'll be getting some free wildcard rares and mythic in the near future...
Well maybe, it seems like Wizards is just going to wait things out till rotation happens. Least in a few months, agent and other troublesome cards will be going bye-bye, so maybe standard will be a bit more playable then.
And every fckn month, and every fckn new set of card is the same cry of comunity...
Cheating cards into play and getting so much value constantly by turn 4 or so is just impossible to handle.
Honestly, Standard atm acts as a pretty good standin for modern society - if you do what you love, you won't get near as good results as if you had just been a jerk and did the evil thing.
This is a pretty good meta to play counter spells you know if you really want to hate yourself instead of playing a meme
@@vehiclesofpeace Counter spells? In my 3feri Standard environment? Nice joke, friend.
Lol, I was going to make a comment about the face cam in the beginning of the video, but I'm glad I waited. 😂 Keep up the great content!!
Read Narset static ability... makes the cycling matchup a breeze
Yup
I’ve been using obosh and underworld dreams. The combo is hilarious if you can get multiple dreams out
Not quite. Abilities that say "whenever you cycle another card" will still trigger even if you don't get to draw the card.
I still dont feel like the match up is favorable... flare is such a pain in the ass with no counter magic being played it's almost like get to turn 6 and they flare you for 13....
It definitely helps, but not a breeze by any stretch. They just attack her down or flare her and you're back to square one
What a wonderful channel. It's as if I was attending a class in magic, with the quality explanation, turn sequencing, etc. Just the best.
And the misplays
I was just going to say that. CGB's commentary is amazing.
It's be very interesting to see CGB build a counter to this deck. This deck currently dominates the meta I've seen it from Gold to Plat. I got to a point where I instantly concede when I see it I don't even try.
I've beat a lot of this crap with Dimir and mono U flashes on my way to mythic. Lost only couple of times.
Teferi is a problem only if they go first, have it (out of 80 cards) and you don't have mystical dispute.
Agent would be fixed if the box was simply changed to. "When agent of treachery enters the battlefield, if it was cast, take control of target permanent.'
I've said this since he started getting abused by a million different decks, his ability needs to be a cast ability. They're so damn incompetent at WotC I swear 😂
@@ec-pc3122 They baby the paper based version of the game too much, just errata the damn card text and the game would be a whole lot more enjoyable
Or nonland perminant
ok cgb i know you hate it but it seems like this deck is the perfect place to play outlaw’s merriment. every turn you have a new token to make an agent with, sometimes it’s got lifelink, they always have haste to finish out games, and it draws enchantment removal away from fires. idk, just a suggestion
It’s just not a good card ... it’s a 4 cmc
Enchantment that does nothing the turn you play it, sure it’s a fun card but it’s never going to see competitive play. You simply cannot take turn 4 to play something like outlaws merriment to then have it bounced by opponents turn three teferi you will simply lose the game on the spot in many instances.
Vade - i totally agree but i feel like this deck is the deck it could be ok in. with fires you’re not wasting your turn if it gets bounced, and if it does, that’s fine bc your fires wasn’t bounced. Outlaw’s merriment should be an uncommon really... it’s terrible in almost every situation
I just used this deck (took out 1 castle ardenvale for a plains bc didn't have it) and I was able to grind to Diamond 5 before the season change. Won't make mythic this month but it's the highest rank I've ever been. Thanks CGB I really like your commentating on how to play any deck. Youve really helped out my game even with the Jank Week stuff just hearing you talk out your moves helps.
NVM I made it to Mythic with this deck.
This deck is the reason I went from grixis to obosh rakdos sacrifice I couldent stamd it.
Why not omen of the forge as a one or two of, removal that works with yorion and it burns face?
I kind of like solar blaze as a one or two of alongside deafening clarion for the aggro decks. It kills almost everything relevant, and doesn't kill your yorion or agent. Obviously, not as good in the mirror, but if you're trying to beat aggro in Bo1, it's pretty good there.
Also I built an orzhov deck that destroys this deck most of the time, and other decks revolving around grave or etb effects. Feels good and I think it's in a very good place in the meta atm. Tons of removal and lifegain. And your favorite card, Dawn of hope. 😉
I actually ranked up to mythic from gold with a homebrew Rakdos deck. I call it Fighty Rakdos. NO sacrifice theme or hand hate or cats or ovens.
Haste, ping creatures, removal, adventure creatures, ember cleave and also a card that helped me steal lots of wins, Angrath giving menace and bringing a body to the board. Helped me smash face alot.
I appreciate all the spicy brews CGB builds but also that every once in a while he shows us some tier 1 stuff. It's important to know how these decks run whether you plan on playing them or not.
Think my best moment in magic right now is playing an unmoored ego on a lukka-agent players. It doesn't always make a difference since I'm using a non-agent fires of invention deck that needs both fires and a fae of wishes in hand to cast it on turn four from the side deck, but the instant forfeit brings a bit of joy into my life man.
Wow great more of this Agent of Treachery ... stuff. Can't wait to play against all the net deckers out there.
Wouldnt dream troller be a better bo1 grab over agent for the lifelink and use vs agro that runs small creatures?
Can you stil cycle more than twice while having fires of invention?
While I dislike the deck, I do like your gameplay, and how you looked at the battlefield to see how the game would play out.
I don't have all the copies of lukka or agent, so I run 3-4 thirst for meaning since the deck runs considerable amount of enchantments.
it will be a nice autumn, with narset, teferi and agent rotating out, maybe the meta won't stagnate as much.
Trust me, WotC will find another way to ruin the meta
13:30 the phoenix attacked backwards lol?
Love this deck. I've lost to these cards so much it's nice to get some revenge. I've never gotten so many scoops with a deck. Ropes of fury man!!!!!!
This deck has all but destroyed standard, hope it was worth the easy mythic rank.
@@goreobsessed2308 yeah I'm a semi-casual gamer myself, so mostly never get higher than gold/platinum myself as well. Looks like it's quite the blessing for once heh.
Calling it before watching the video, main focus of this deck isn't Elspeth, Sun's Nemesis.
It's what distinguishes the version from the run of the mill luca agent deck though
Stefan Rabenstein As if Lucca decks are focused on mill
@@kontrol42 are you slow?
@@thezerowulf507 I think it was a witty comeback.
@@thezerowulf507 I dunno, am I?
@37:42 seriously, the key to so many uncontested build right now is that card. Teferi...and yes, when the card rotates out, even fires deck will have big problems.
i don''t get the "season ends in x days" any more when i visit my profile... i thought it was removed with the new update, but now i see it again on 35:45. so i don't know what to think any more. also, against the cycle deck you should play as early as possible your narsets, so they play out their stuff as soon as possible on the field, to clear it and force them to use the lurrus, to exile it as soon as possible with the acd
I just want to add that cgb was complaining about rdw to be a no brainer deck. Now I've always liked your videos and supported the channel but i gotta say that this lukka yorion is even more no brainer than rdw
While I despise those deck, it made me realize you have excellent insight/intuition on play pattern decisions. You’d be a good magic commentator imo. Bonus: You drop good Monty Python references
Also, I know token to agent is popular. Did you try 2mc to agent so you can run things like hushbringer?
Dark side of the force has consumed you CGB...you were the chosen one! You were supposed to kill agent not join him!
"You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain"
Why is every single word capitalized lol
Love the content CGB Keep it up:)
Just ban agent. I play a fun godzilla reanimator deck with green blue and black and it is themed wonderfully but I know if I put agent in it it would be better and it sucks because every deck anyone builds that can have agent probably should. Winota would be fun without him, Lukka would be fun and lots of other combos.
Invested 300 Dollar last month for a fresh start in Standard
stopped playing as soon as Lukka Agent decks hit the field
am i ok? sure.. sure! just a little bit dead inside
At least historic is fun!
We forgive you for the camera ;) nice work
Those plays against mono-red to come back from 4 life were beautiful.
This is really the most disgusting thing ever. Fires and teferi robbing me the whole fun of the game. I really just can’t play rankeds any more
if it makes you feel better I play a non-agent fires deck...am I still a good person...please tell me I'm good.
Play historic ranked. Not as bad
@@BlackJustice2637 yeah you get winota losses on turn 4 instead
How were you able to cast teferri and lukka with 0 cost in 1 turn? 8:30
Hey CGB I welcome your effort to show us the best deck in the current META from time to time. Don't get disencouraged when reading some of these comments mourning about this deck. I played against this deck from time to time. It's not hard to beat if you run some counters. There is always a counter deck for a specific deck. But this counter deck is weak to other decks. Like rock, paper, scissor.
Apparently I've seen these cards so much that not even once did I even notice that I couldn't read them or see the stack on the side. No surprises. This meta sucks.
this deck is broken :(
Not sure if somebody didn't already say this but it's way better when you're on the left side and not the right side of the screen cgb
LOL I just finished the video and you commented exactly on that, that's funny my mistake
Is building around hushbringer a way to deal with this broken playstyle? Shame Trostani's effect only applies to creatures and not all permanents
No
Where is my bacon? Lost in between the planes!
Grats on beating degenerate red bro
I feel like at least running 2 omen of the forge instead of like for example 1 elspeth and 1 birth would make this deck even better for Bo1. Deals with turn 1 fox (if you’re on the play), is very good against Lurrus and mono red because of it being repeatable and isn’t the worst against planeswalkers to finish like a narset or teferi. Otherwise the deck seems perfect for Bo1
Luckily there will be a B&R Announcement next Monday, so I won't have to deal with that deck anymore.
8:24 Almost as good as my evil laugh.
Looking at this deck I already miss jank week
You don't need this or any top tier deck to make mythic. I made mythic this bo1 season from silver using a F2P budget non-meta deck of my own nobody is playing anything close to. Entered mythic at 91%, clawed up to 94%... and then fell to 80%.
It's a "surprise" deck, would probably suck in bo3 (might also not work as well against anyone who remembered playing me previously, even without sideboard). I only started mid-last-season, so that tells you were my collection & availalble wildcards are. Not sure why I fell from 94% to 80% -- dumb luck or maybe the meta shifted just enough.
I did beat a few of these Jeskai/Yorion/Lukka archetypes were/are the most annoying. But I did beat a few along the way but lost to this quite often, sometimes in quite long games, because they had no clue the "surprise" I was saving up for and left themselves open.
what was "the suprise"
This deck is the reason I've stopped trying to hit top 1200 in mythic this season, and am playing fun historic decks instead. It's so annoying to lose to this and wynota.
Hm guess i can see why some run merriment since it can get you if for some reason all your Aot is not enough or just didnt draw luca. Lifelink and unlimited chump block is decent.
So I figured out since you mentioned embercleave that when a creature get stolen from agent that has embercleave on it they still own embercleave..won alot of matches when I stole there creature and they didnt take back there cleave to put it on another creature instead of getting killed by there own embercleave so funny...embercleave is such a long word...lol
can someone explain how this deck has 80 cards? im having a hard time finding the answer about deck sizes
Read Yorion's companion effect :)
To expand on the answer above, Standard only has a minimum deck size of 60 (same for many other formats) you can always play more cards if you want to, though Yorion requires it to be at least 80 if you want them to be your commander and I believe arena has an upper limit of 250, unlike paper magic.
@@stefanrabenstein3753 hell ya. thanks guys.
Maybe it's because I play jank in gold but... I can't remember the last time I played against agent Lukka...
Did you say beacon properly to get this comment out of me? 🤣
Oh good you just said bacon. We're still cool.
i like those over 50 min videos
You have four creatures in the entire 80 card deck, if you had shark tycoon and played it as an enchantment although it’s a high CMC, It would be worth it by getting shark after shark after shark, provided is not removed of course
Wasn't his point cutting typhoon because of the very aggressive meta in BO1? Sure, casting shark typhoon gives you a lot of value, but if you can get away with casting a six mana enchantment which does nothing the turn you cast it, chances are you would have won with any other decent card as well.
Move the cam screen to the opposite side. The right side is just about the worse place to have it in arena.
Genius
31:08 I was waiting for the monored song
Lord CGB, please brew a deck that will consistently win against yorion decks. I don’t care losing to other meta decks. Please please please 🙏🏼
he did. Look at the land destruction deck that he made.
I got baited with 4 Elspeth thing but I stopped the video as soon as I realized it another disgusting FLAY. Not worth watching :)
Fires Lukka Agent Yorion?
Don't feel sorry about your setup CGB, thank you for your content and your spirit, good luck with mythic
#teferithesilly
While I'm building the better deck you recommended to me, I got to Diamond with cycling. Watching this to see if I can see how best to defeat this deck with cycling.
Get lucky...If they get the T5 Luka and are on the play then you lose. Its a sad state of magic IMO. Yes there is lots of diversity, but no there isnt much skill determining outcomes after you get over the basic knowledge of how to play the deck phase.
@@michaedove3562 I've only played Magic for a little over 6 weeks. So this is the first 'meta' that I have seen. I'm with everybody else on thinking Agent of Treachery should be banned yesterday.
Just be aware that they announced changes to the companion the mechanic and some ban updates so wait to go all in with your wildcards.
My jimmies aren't rustled.
I don't understand why he didn't play Narset vs cycling earlier to to stop them dead in their tracks. Am I the only one seeing this?
Anybody else see the Phoenix animation flip around weirdly at about 13:30?
Yeah it happens when you steal certain cards with agent of treachery lol
Shouldnt have bounced elspeth with yurion. Would have caused them to pay more for embercleave next rpund
I tried this deck to get into Mythic, went like 1-3 with it. Used Yorion Elementals and got to Mythic. The deck is good, but if everyone expects it, they can play decks to counter it and ruin you.
Your camera on the left is much better than the camera on the right. It's hard to see what is being resolved when your camera is blocking it.
Elspeth conquers ranked
Ew what, I look forward to watching your videos daily, but can't endorse continuing to watch this after seeing that sweaty decklist come up. Hopefully you have something not disgusting lined up for tomorrow.
The hopelessness is real for the opponents.
im staying away from rank because of this deck.
"...Omen of the sea* to dig."
me, seeing lucca agent:
" now, before you turn off... " ok, I'll stay and check the comments:
The comments:
CGB, it's pointless for your opponent to cycle when you have Narset out, because they can only draw one per turn. That's why he scooped. Lovin' the deck though! :)
Something was wrong with the video? Didn't notice 😀
Having your camera overlay on the right where it overlaps the played cards is really annoying.
EDIT: Damit CGB, apology accepted! Happy memorial day to you guys over there!
I liked camera a lot more in its old position on the left, as to not cover the stack.
See outro, it was an accident
Please move your image to the left side in future videos... you're completely covering the stack / spells being cast. Cheers.
Good times
This deck is the reason why yorion should be banned. It just has no counters and it plays to perfection. 80 cards decks should not be consistent, this one is beyond consistency. What a shame
mono red is almost the "good guy" in this format
This is not an angry comment; This is just for the algorithm.
1 min? I accept your offering youtube
use this deck because you can miss play horrendously and still beat tier 1 decks. Quality right here lol
Love the build, here to learn how to defeat cycling with this deck
Probably impossible to get a good match up against cycling with Lukka agent. This is definitely better with the clarions and elspeths, but still a tough match-up
Get them to draw either one or zero Zenith Flare and/or sticking an early Narset. Not a lot of skill.
I actually don’t think these decks are that bad to beat… Most victories come from people quitting and I found playing this myself you can mill your self quite easily or run out of steam...I played my friends lure us deck and he just waited for me to kill myself while he chomped blocked with minnows
Agent of Treachery is my favorite magic card, but even I don't play this deck. I love playing agent in a fair way. Either as a late game win con in a control deck, or as the primary target in Dimir or Grixis reanimator (personal favorite). Before this deck, nobody cared about Agent, now everyone hates it. This deck ruined not only standard, but also my favorite card. I just can't get behind it.
There is no way fair way to play the Agent😅 Its a nasty and unfair card. It made Standard NO FUN
Good recovery after the monored video, which i cannot forgive
