Boy, this video is great. Beating a Portal and Jin-Gitaxias with the Trespasser (that was called) in game 1. Archfiend at work. ("Math is for blockers, but sometimes they just don't do the math"). Burning out mono red ("I can draw burn spells, too"). The instant scoop ("My reputation precedes me.") and the scoop to the Archfiend ("Creature too big, red be scared"). And of course the ultimate "shuffler is fine"-moment with three lands in play and three Archfiends and four Invokes in hand. And just when you think it can't get any more entertaining ("I want to report a bug"), we get that epic hype portion for the Jinions. Sir, you outdid yourself.
@Kishone ...except they'll just claim this is how it's supposed to work. Imagine if we could get Arena's shuffler onto an online poker game...would rake it in 😆
Let me just say how much I appreciate you turning this whole Jin thing into an ongoing saga with all the videos. It's been so entertaining and so much better than if you just played it the next week. You grow the channel and we all get entertained!
@@driklol Have to watch CBG's Invoke Justice Boros deck. He was guaranteed to when until his opponent with a 130 pile played a random Prismatic Bridge and out of all the cards in the pile it could've hit it dropped a random Jin Gitaxis at a critical moment and just shut CGB out the game! It was insanity because that was the perfect hit and probably only hit that could've beat CGB in that moment to the point where it felt like complete nonsense!
After watching that first game, it looks like Jinny G should have spent less time making music and more time preparing for battle. I also love how you can just instantly see how much CGB doesn't want to lose to Jin again, as he becomes so much more focused and serious whenever a Jin-Gitaxias hits the field.
CGB you are a top tier creator. Seriously. Your attention to detail and analysis of how to make the most of video time without losing the nerdy fun things that make you you, is a pleasure to watch. Bravo my man, bravo.
32:40 the moment when you remember you made a video on Sonio’s world record and you just can take this, show it to him and say “hold my beer and feel my pain, bro”
@@Lordidude go check a video that CGB made a couple of days ago on his other channel (and the video it refers to, from Sonio). Sonio made a short video (a few minutes), about his “world record” with the shuffler… fun. This makes it even between CGB and Sonio. Probably 😂
@@cmfrtbly_nmb what do you mean? It takes a lot of skill to win with invoke justice decks. You need to be really smart to know how to get to 5 mana and cast invoke justice.
Yeah. That was my bad. I would have gained a life if i had taken trespasser and exiled his dog. Was scared of blitz at that moment . JINNY G WILL RETURN!
Swapping out a couple of Sheoldred's Edict for 2 Go for the Throats seems really good with this deck because of the added utility of being able to remove your own Dross to prevent it from killing you. Great deck!
I run a split between these 2 in all my black decks, not just ones that need to kill our own Archfiend sometimes. They are good in slightly different situations and it's just good to have the option if you draw a bunch of them. I used to run a split with Infernal Grasp before we got Edict, but there's just no need for that card at all anymore, which seems crazy because it's one of the better constructed-playable "1B Removal" that exists in its own right, and just goes to show how insanely good Black removal is in Standard right now!
@@Icameron259 they are great against trespasser and fleshgorger, the odd indestructible, and also the rotpriest decks. I think that plus Planeswalker removal makes it more than reasonable to run. Have 2 in most of my decks and been very happy with it.
It's seems like there are some dark forces at work on the design team. "Do you guys think mono black is strong enough in this format?" "No, they need a 6/6 demon that flies for 4 mana. Muwahaha!"
The one game you said imagine drawing 4th invoke cause shuffler is fine really came back to haunt ya. Thank you for showcasing this deck. So many ways to run it nice to see how a master would do it.
Jank For anyone interested: Fateful Handoff. Archfiend at one counter, give it to them. If you are willing to go golgari, Glissa can remove counters to do it faster. You only lose on your upkeep, so you can have no oil counters before that
Two things: 1. It's very fitting that the sub goal was hit during All Will Be One. 2. I love that CGB still have the love for wrestling because that was a wrestling call-out promo if I've ever seen one.
I've been playing Archfiend with Vraska, Vat Emergence, and 1x Monumental Facade. Only dropped to 1 counter in a single game. So if you're really worried, you could probably play more risky frames if you include just one of the safety mechanisms.
After a great run with this deck yesterday I hit Mythic. I'm 64 - 28 (69%) with it. 73% on the play (34 games) & 67% on the draw (58 games). It's a lot of fun to play and typically gets a win in 3 or 4 minutes. Thank CGB!
32:35 What are even the odds of all of that happening!? The opponent playing THREE Plaza of Heroes, and CGB having a hand of not only THREE Archfiends of the Dross, but ALL FOUR Invoke Despairs!?
haven't watched yet and just seeing the deck list and recently built my own dross deck but a G/B version with Fight rigging and found drown in Ichor and it's proliferate ability really helpful to remove a creature and add another counter to the Drosses to have another turn. Why not put in the side board or change for cut down? Or 2/2 split?
32:40 ah yes the invisible text of invoke despair "if invoke despair is in your starting hand the shuffler flips a coin if heads your perfect curve and will invoke despair on your opponent, if tails you will have despair invoked on you"
I wanted to play this deck so bad but I don't have any Invoke Despair cards and I only have one batman - I added other cards instead and won a few games and lost 2 out of 8 games - great video and excellent choice of cards. I like how Archifiend is only good in standard format and how you used it.
I'm so glad you bricked with that 3 Dross 4 incoke Despair hand. ONLY because I'm a mono black player a d that happens to me so often I seriously was thinking WOTC had it out just for me. Welcome to the matrix my friend.
That first game was insane! It's crazy that reanimator can just keep coming even vs several graveyard hate pieces, ironically even benefitting from it at first 😆
CGB: 'Let's assume the next two cards in my deck are Invoke Despair...' Shuffler: 'Oh, you want to draw four Invoke Despair? No problem, coming right up.'
The Prophetic Breach has occurred and the Prosthetic Eyebrow is calling to us. Fragrant and well-aged dairy products await the Jinions as we cross over the Prognostic Bronchitis 😅
Also couldnt you run one or two copies of like eaten alive so u can sac it when it has one oil counter left? It would be a nice backup if your opponent somehow survives
The opposite is true where if the demon didn't have that loses two life on it, it would still be good but not as threatening. But like cgb said, demon is either going to beat your opponent to death, or they're going to kill it on the spot
The only time I'd be worried about Archfiend not finishing the job is if it gets tapped down and you have no sac outlet. Probably highly unlikely. I also think the oil counter text can be ignored.
i haven't lost yet cause of the text on this card, however i am terrified by a blue "don't untap" aura it just wins the game or the opponent removes it
Ah yes, the new philosophy for 4 drop creatures in Magic like Sheoldred, Archfiend, Vindicator, and Obliterator. Either the opponent kills it on sight or it singlehandedly wins the game. Wonderful design right there. I guess Obliterator isn't technically new, but Magic didn't really play to the board back then the way it does now.
@@AaronRotenberg better than a 4 drop that does nothing and still dies to removal at least like that the opponent needs removal or he loses though vindicator is kinda garbage compared to the rest of the list, myriel and serra paragon are both better 4 drops mondrak is good as well but he has a much more restrictive effect compared to the other 2 that are just good 4 drops
Before watching... isn't there a way to put oil counters on things or transfer them from one thing to another? That'd be a way to make the oil text irrelevant as well. *watches Video*
There’s a lot to say about your channel and how awesome your videos are but the comments pretty much say it all so I’ll just say thanks and I hope you keep having fun playing magic on TH-cam and I hope to play you in mythic one day - Argo22
To be honest I have been play testing my Dross in paper and totally forgot or didn't look at its ability as the deck wins even without the drain for 2 but OMG makes it even more OP!
You should try playing a few path of peril with the bat man! Great fun when they like tokens and small creatures! I took 16 life with a path earlier today! 🤣
This is a sweet deck. Just as long you don't match up with someone you is playing with a bunch of glissa sunslayer . Good thing it's a legendary . And how often are people going to be playing with that card.🤪
That hand with 3 archfiend and 4 invoke despairs was *chefs kiss*🤌
Especially after rolling everybody until then. A very back to reality moment lol
The shuffler asserting dominance.
Spoiler! Lol
"Pride cometh, CGB"-WotC
God...what are the actual odds of this draw happening? Wow

Totally agree, this was some of CGB's best work in terms of game play and sheer entertainment value- all while climbing upper tier Mythic.
Still mad about the clutch trespasser :)
10/10 review for a 10/10 video
based on that cool outro, JIN GITAXIS WILL HAVE HIS REVENGE
32:40 The shuffler never had me laughing so loud.
i know that feeling soooo well 😅😅😅
The finest shuffler in all the land!
I would like to report a bug
@Kishone ...except they'll just claim this is how it's supposed to work. Imagine if we could get Arena's shuffler onto an online poker game...would rake it in 😆
Amazing moment, I laughed harder with every next card drawn

Nice to see a "I must win or quit magic" card in standard (on of the awards that Limited Resources grants to one card each set)
New EP coming up
The end credits made my hole month! Goosebumps all over! So hyped! Great great work!
That game against the Invoke Justice deck was amazing! I am well and truly flabberghasted, this was great Magic.
thanks
cgb laughing deep and talking like batman while flapping his wings made my day.

No dude, the point was the shuffle had a record of bad hands

Playing all 4 is better if you just want to see how the card performs though. You just get to cast it more often and see when it's good or bad.
@@Icameron259 they are great against trespasser and fleshgorger, the odd indestructible, and also the rotpriest decks. I think that plus Planeswalker removal makes it more than reasonable to run. Have 2 in most of my decks and been very happy with it.
@Hugo Guerreiro I think when Planeswalkers aren't prevalent it's just a strictly worse removal spell than Grasp/Throat.
Na, if you're going to play Dross, you should be going all in. No way to remove it yourself. Victory or Death.
It's seems like there are some dark forces at work on the design team. "Do you guys think mono black is strong enough in this format?" "No, they need a 6/6 demon that flies for 4 mana. Muwahaha!"

I did not expect that win. 10:52 Personally I would have given up many turns ago. You are cool, CGB!
I love the rivalry with Jin-Gitaxias on this channel.
That ending!!! Can’t wait to see it
that moment at 32:38
Sonio would understand
32:36
The timing is just gold!
Also: 34:55, this card looks like it was printed just for this moment! JINIONS UNITE!

Yooo that sequence at the end was hype
That first game was fantastic, wow.
Dude, this might be a best deck you have ever played!!! I watch your channel every day, and this meat grinder is INSANE!!!
MASSIVE RESPECT!!!
Nice combo with Dross Fiend is Fateful Handoff. CGB " No, I'm not going to lose with my Dross Fiend, you are. Here have it while I draw 4 cards."
This video is PACKED. Awesome games and Jinny G lore update.
That trailer at the end was so much better than I expected 👌
That Jin game had me sweating
I'm very unhealthy
Channel is at its Zenith! Best it's ever been. This vid had it all. Had me dying on the floor. Thanks bro.
this jin-gitaxious thing is getting more hyped them UFC, i love it. i can't wait!!!

can somebody do some quick math for us? from even a potato head of myself I'm thinking it's gonna be incredible
Those are the times that you just have to concede. Any card game is embedded with luck.

That first game was down to the wire. One card to win it all. Great content as usual, keep up the great work.
The bat wing impressions had me cracking up with the evil laughter, so good 😂
Holy value play, batman. i just turn 4 batman, turn 5 double edict, one mana 2/3 kill, and attacked for the win! It was awesome!
Somehow, the CGB vs Jin rematch has more buildup than March of the Machines
31:54 Full house! that's a winner for sure.
... and then it gets even better.
32:40 ah yes the invisible text of invoke despair "if invoke despair is in your starting hand the shuffler flips a coin if heads your perfect curve and will invoke despair on your opponent, if tails you will have despair invoked on you"
The DESPAIR was indeed "invoked" on that last game haha. and the ending cinematic was awesome.
I can see the irony in this

It was really cool in that game where you had like the best hand in the history of magic. 3 6/6 flyers and 4 invoke despairs, the stuff of legend.
Man, I'm from Brazil and huge fan for all of your monoB videos. Tks
Drawing all the "invoke despair" was so funny and meta lol
Awesome work Diano Franco and Allen Hsieh!
That first game was insane! It's crazy that reanimator can just keep coming even vs several graveyard hate pieces, ironically even benefitting from it at first 😆
Ok this was awesome, but that segment at the end, freaking epic! Want that music.
I love how there is just someone at Wizards laughing. “Perfect.”
I was hoping up and down at the end of that first match! Never! Didn't! Have it!
32:40 😵
Dawg legit gets me to crack up! Goes “im batman” hahahaha, yeo 😂
I'm sooo ready to "get Juicy for Jin" ❤
CGB: 'Let's assume the next two cards in my deck are Invoke Despair...'
Shuffler: 'Oh, you want to draw four Invoke Despair? No problem, coming right up.'
I think I will make "Get 'reckt, Jin!" my new ringtone. It's so cathartic.
maximum entertainment you can get from a video about a game. hats off to you sir
This was really great, do you think we'll see more decks with Dross and Proliferate?
I was just thinking the same thing! I'm making a Dross/Proliferate rn. Scary good.
You can always stick in the one of fateful handoff for a "Oh no, my guy is down to 1 counter and I didn't kill you this combat. You have it!"
I look forward to the full Jinny Taxes and the Pragmatic Brioche saga video compilation!
First game was pure gold! Love the content and the reactions!
"Obviously I'm more likely to draw..." Top tier content
Could you mix this into a proliferate deck to always keep oil counters up? Or not worth that much focus on it
“My reputation proceeds me!” 😂😂😂
love the level of production for the Jin 130 deck announcement.
That shuffler moment though ...
The Prophetic Breach has occurred and the Prosthetic Eyebrow is calling to us. Fragrant and well-aged dairy products await the Jinions as we cross over the Prognostic Bronchitis 😅
