Dude lol had that happened to me last night at my lgs playing zoo with bronco...was hitting him for 2 constantly & I only had bronco out so tried & got hit for 12 😂
All my paper cards have been golgari exclusively for the past decade at least. Still hasn't gotten old. Golgari is just that fun. So it's always good to see CGB coming back to the club every time he can pull himself away from azorius control - y'know, having fun instead of just sucking away everyone else's... as much as I too enjoy seeing the life force drained out of opponents because their game is longer than 30 seconds.
This is perfect for my daily quest of playing 40 creatures. I took out Bronco in favor of some more removal, and added a Preacher here and a Faerie Dreamthief there. Love it overall! Glissa is great.
haha was hoping i was on the video! did play against this deck w you yesterday or the day before and got the beat down. Thanks for the vid like always!
One unexpected bonus of my slightly edited version of the deck -- monored ceases to exist. The matchmaker apparently is scared that my deck might be too good for monored so I haven't seen it at all in about 20 games.
I wonder why other people's bo1 standard experience is so different. I played 20 games at the top end of platinum yesterday with Reid's Golgari Midrange deck and I played mono red 3 times and boros convoke once. The rest of the games were against all kinds of decks, one greedier than the next. Re-animator, domain, golgari ramp, orzhov midrange with 3x emperor, black all removal control with 3x virtue of persistence, temur analyst, etc. Most games I actually get out-valued by greedier decks that play a slightly longer game.
I identify as a Golgari-midrange-value player. This deck is perfection incarnate, as far as I am concerned. Can confirm it is good enough to grind up the ladder. THANK YOU for a deck that is some of the most fun I've had playing for a while now.
28:28 these kinds of plays are why I love Magic. Using a graveyard exile effect on your own stuff to make an opponent's Reanimate-effect worse? Brilliant gameplay.
@supersanttu7951 I don't play Hearthstone etc. so I can't talk about interactivity there. But you were talking about brilliant gameplay in this particular MTGA scenario, which is clearly overexaggerated.
The first game is a nice example of why keywords like vigilance are so important. Apply pressure while having your defenses up causes the opponent to really extend themselves
CGB I feel your but I'm from Portugal I can't give you any more. I'm so sad about this, I feel like country is like the mono-red to the bountiful lives true MTG can bring. Why do I uderstand this yet I was born here.. The only true thing is the following: keep making videos with cool Standard decks forever. Let's rid mono-red from the face of the Earth. If I don't see some some rationality in my life I better as well go bonkers insane. It's ON YOU, CGB (sorry, it's a great responsibility, but I know you feel it, so many 80s feel like ads - I love it. Cheers)
I'm surprised anyone plays with anything other than mute for music and emotes. I'm always watching something else or listening to music. I could care less about the emotes, disabled them in the first week of playing. Especially when I realized I wasn't reading anything anyone was "saying" anyways.
@@waruuum Boros are like the equivalent of terrans in SC2, just always refuse to give up and drag on forever as long as there's even a 0.001% chance to win...
Kept running into artifact decks (Synthesizer and Legion) with my Golgari deck every day, so I put in 3x Tear Asunder. They almost disappeared afterwards (ranked). How convenient.
Love golgari in arena. If my stuff doesn’t get exiled I just top deck recursion over and over until they’re sick of it. Also liked watching Amazonian play The NecroBloom in Brawl. Might switch to Abzan.
This midrange deck is an aggro deck that replaced the 1-drops with removal spells. Edit: 25:59 "A Saddled Bronco could kill them." No it couldn't, you cut all the 4-drops out of the deck.
I did not have enough wildcards to craft all 4 of broncos and dreadknights, so I run only 2 of each. In the rest of 2 drop slots I maindecked 4x Over the Edge. Just to have at least a chance against artifacts.
1:02 Yep… If Wizards was going for a true “Wild West“ theme experience with OTJ then they definitely achieved it… it feels like I can’t take a step out into the arena without getting shot…
Wow I’m been playing a lot of golgari these last two season and that’s an extremely low curve. My heart is screaming for a sorin or at least one big bat, maybe a nissa. Honestly so excited to see this in action and see if it pays off.
Yeah it’s a new thing. Not really sure what it’s about. I watch pretty much all of his videos and I haven’t really seen any kind of explanation yet? He jokes about it a lot with his editor? Probably just a new membership/patreon thing I expect…
All mana tapped and the opponent could have removed Bronco at any point of the time, but no, had to wait until the saddle trigger being made, looking at the cards he have in hand, stare at it for a while, and remove it at the last point, why? Style points? Fucking stupid game and players.
caustic bronco feels meh to me. It's not always easy to attack more than once, and also losing life is tough in current bo1 unless you have plenty of life gain.
If you're playing fight spells with Glissa and Phyrexian Oblit I'm gonna riot. But you also make me laugh for playing mean things like this so why aren't you playing them?

CGB gives me Jim Carrey vibes, with the energy in the way he talks and his super-expressive face. Happy to see some Golgari love too, good stuff.
I’m gay
@@honestabe411and that’s fine
Its the spectrum you see I think
@@bakerfly305 This comment made me laugh!
If opponent attacks with unsettled Bronco, it gets a land.
If I attack with unsettled Bronco, Draco manifests on top of my deck.
Dude lol had that happened to me last night at my lgs playing zoo with bronco...was hitting him for 2 constantly & I only had bronco out so tried & got hit for 12 😂
I mainly fetch a land with my saddled Bronco.
That or a chunky Liliana
@25:13 the moment I was waiting for: Yes, it's that card. And CGB's reaction is worth every second.
Do you guys remember when CGB used to say the Bats were useless?

rip quad recuiter in the first match, hidden under the bat
But will they draw that 5th recruiter
@@Mattress1996CGB apparently forgot.
Only 3 recruiters in first match. The 4th was never seen
I love the snake-horse noise Caustic Bronco makes on ETB on Arena.
haha was hoping i was on the video! did play against this deck w you yesterday or the day before and got the beat down. Thanks for the vid like always!
CGB In the first game, the opponent wouldn't have drawn the 4th recruiter because he was under your bat the whole game.
Love this deck, been rocking it for a while it's cool to see you pilot it!
Wow mogwai is back! Good news! Thanks for the info

You and Mogwai are on the same wavelength now, I see, haha. His debut "return" video was a very spicy Golgari list.

That's just obvious gameplay, nothing brilliant.

That throwback advert is 🔥
I love golgari, ty CGB
Opponent saying GG realising they cannot win anymore, not the opposite.

This is like the 10th time cgb has made that mistake in a video. The tism is strong in him
Then they should concede?
@@waruuum
Boros are like the equivalent of terrans in SC2, just always refuse to give up and drag on forever as long as there's even a 0.001% chance to win...
But... that wasn't really true, especially the first time they did it, the game was close.
CGB: Gandalf? I bet that's not even your real name.
Gandalf: Many are my names in many countries...

"Is that the best you can do...Gandalf..." : D
Whenever I watch CGB videos I always get the vibe that if he wasn't dedicating his life to MTG, he'd be a serial killer.

Edit: 25:59 "A Saddled Bronco could kill them." No it couldn't, you cut all the 4-drops out of the deck.
Backstreet's back alright!
My typical and boring question nowdays...what to put instead of march to avoid wasting wildcards on cards that are going to go after rotation? Thanks
I did not have enough wildcards to craft all 4 of broncos and dreadknights, so I run only 2 of each. In the rest of 2 drop slots I maindecked 4x Over the Edge. Just to have at least a chance against artifacts.
Thank you CGB!
1:02 Yep…
If Wizards was going for a true “Wild West“ theme experience with OTJ then they definitely achieved it… it feels like I can’t take a step out into the arena without getting shot…
You playing in the PT CGB? Thanks for the video
Game 1 was insane on the land draw.
"This is mono Boros, we play mono Boros..." 😆
Golgari def is my favorite dual color
i play golgari as well on arena.. im all about speed games tho,..id like to play sometime
why would you think Gandalf plays UW control instead of Izzet spellslinging?
I can see both
The most famous fire / light mage ever xD
Wow I’m been playing a lot of golgari these last two season and that’s an extremely low curve. My heart is screaming for a sorin or at least one big bat, maybe a nissa. Honestly so excited to see this in action and see if it pays off.
Cgb just helps in many difficult times in life. Thank you. You are cool
"Broncos' country, let's ride!"
I just hit Mythic tonight!
I really believe your content has made me a player who can achieve such an accomplishment! Thank you CGB!!!
Now I cannot get that song out of my head :/
Pillage the bog!!!!!!!!!
"Anything over 4 mana? Basically dead in standard" oh noar *sad wizard noises*
Can do attitude left the room😅
With a deck like this 90% of the games are gonna be against control
First Falcon!
Honest magic.
Seeing cgb and Malone still not in mythic is so weird to me 😅
Lowkey they arent that good at the game, they are just content creators
Mythic is really easy to get too. Kinda funny they're not
Only easy if you have the free time
@@luisdavila3058 not that much time with an 85 percent win rate
And thirty second games most of the time lol
Okay, i gotta ask. When did we become "Falcons"??
Seconded
We've always been falcons
It's a callback to a calab video where we learned he played a bad card I.E. massa falcon in his 1st ever pro tour event. He was a child.
Yeah it’s a new thing. Not really sure what it’s about. I watch pretty much all of his videos and I haven’t really seen any kind of explanation yet? He jokes about it a lot with his editor? Probably just a new membership/patreon thing I expect…
The story is told in one of the Rarran 'How good was X?' Videos
But where is shelly?
I like Golgari :)
pretty sure the boros player was gging as in you win
Almost Perfect, removing 1 cut down for Tiny Bones and rolling ladder 😅

Admit bat is good bat haters
wtf am I watching....should not have tuned into this, as I'm drunk AF.......you poring water on that mox had me fighting fit
Sharp eyed rookie is strictly better than the bronco
Standard has just become a game of removal.....for removal.....of removal....it's one of the more boring formats as of late.
If you're playing fight spells with Glissa and Phyrexian Oblit I'm gonna riot. But you also make me laugh for playing mean things like this so why aren't you playing them?
I get vacation mode means less content but at it is pretty lame to do the bare minimum at any time for a professional.
