@@HaleG9 deck builders often have cards they like to play, even though they aren't "omg top tier meta card". If everyone played only the best meta stuff, 100% of the bo1 ladder would be monored aggro.
Jin Gitaxias saved my butt several times in the Praetors Realm breaker deck. Opponent tried a boardwipe, the Jin said "no". So yeah, useless card... Duh!
Great video. Sonio is the king of nonbos. Clearly he knows how to work around them or something...he seems to make most of his decks work, sort of. I rarely can.
That esper match was just annoying to watch. Constant board wipes and counters with nothing to show for on the board. I like this simic deck way better cos it has interaction on the board with counter/bounce protection.
What you did at 38 minutes in the game was crazy lol. I added 1 copy of him in my deck. I think it will go well with my one ring deck. Thanks for the video.
That second game was crazy good, ive win in such circumstances and literally screamed like i won the pro tour for getting through that man board wipes and memory deluges...
I know this ramp pain. Have started playing an OmWrath HB deck, 45 lands, ramp falling out of the 1-2-3 hole, with a few top end bombs from 5-7. And ye there are sooooo many games where I draw nothing but the top end and no way to get to it, or have to mull to 5 to get anything more than 2 lands in hand. Shuffler be fine haha
Sorry for your pain, glad to see i'm not the only one who gets clowned by the shuffler... this is why people play low curve decks... it doesn't go big, but it usually goes.
54:31 Should have kept this one. Three draws to get a green source for double Topiary Stomper and they seem good against much of the meta. Especially monored ;) Three draws with maybe 40% of the library green sources.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think mono red, and agro in general, is a lot more popular on ladder than in events, because ladder incentivizes high volume over high win rate, whereas events incentivize high win rate over high volume.
@@J.Tarrou Sort of. Usually the best agro decks in standard have around a 60% win rate, but that is an average win rate over the entire player pool. Those averages are probably closer to the win rate ceiling for agro decks than for more mid-range and controlling type decks. In any case, even when all other things are equal, there is much more incentive for high volume on ladder vs. events. It's possible to get to mythic without even having a 50% win rate with enough volume due to backstops and variance. In events, losing just loses.
I agree with your logic, but I think I've actually witnessed the inverse - more aggro in events than on ladder. I think a lot of it has to do with events being one of the best ways to build a collection and there's a lot of newer players stuck with mono-colored aggro piles as their one decent deck.
This video had all the pain and all the glory of playing a ramp deck in the current standard. Just does not work. Nope, he didn't break it. It's just another deck that is good enough to play and have the matchmaker try to keep you 50/50 with.
Cgb: yeah ill keep a hand tha does nothing for 4 turns cause Im assuming they no playing aggro based solely on sleeves. Cgb: loses horribly to aggro Cgb: the shuffler is to blame more than anything else
i play mono red to speed through stuff. I read card when ibplay if i like how the other persons decks works to get ideas hahaha. I always wonder what they think when i am looking through their shit n they are waiting for a lightning strike lmao
Titan just doesn't feel strong enough especially with Fable getting banned. This version ramp suffers from not being able to remove opposing creatures reliably early on, idk how it doesn't get steamrolled by mono red or soldiers
@@Threadoflength true, both are better though i do think the domain one is better since it's a ramp deck so u can cast the summon 6 mobs side more often than normal
imagine sitting down to craft a deck entirely around farewell and sunfall, put 4 emperors in, the rest draw, kill, counter, with wincons being opp quits or mills themselves... are we having fun yet?
Lmao. Talks about grabbing forests because it makes Nissa better. Immediately grabs two islands with invasion.
He is covert go BLUE
So he subconsciously goes for the islands
Logged on just to comment that 😂 you beat me to it
Thank you so much for shout out. You are awesome. Love you.💙
Props for piloting another MTG contributor. I follow his channel as well and enjoy the ASMR style presentation as well. Thanks for posting. 🤙🏽
Ive been starting to enjoy simic ramp thanks to Sonio. Its great seeing your take on it CGB.
Sonio makes some awesome decks, thanks for showing some love to another great creator!
The reason Jin-Gitaxias is in the deck is because its a Sonio deck, so it has a mandatory Jin-Gitaxias/Invasion of Arcavios tax.

@@MetalHevgotta love meta slaves who then will complain about deck diversity later
@@HaleG9 it's a game. the argument for including a fun card that you like is that it's fun, and you like it. hope that helps!

Sonio is amazing. He's taught me so much patience, i just watch him seemingly lay down and die in games then, turn around and just crush opponents.
Props for showcasing another creator, as always great content !
You can always check the sideboard mid-game by clicking on your deck and then on the sideboard button 😁
I was goingg to comment the same 😊
Whoa, whoa. Easy Francis! ;P
What about mobile
Yet another Chapter in the CGB-Sonio Arc :D
CGB discovering the chaotic randomness of unranked standard in MTGA, love it 😂
It's events, so usually 60% boring as hell meta, 30% noobs who think they come out with a net plus and 10% people who take brewing into events
I think it's time to make a dreadhound deck.
This one's for red bear
Sonio makes some cool decks. Its between you and Sonio I spent my time watching videos.
Sloth's videos are also cool.
@@dornyeilaszlo ❤
Glad to see simic getting some love. It's one of my favorite archetypes and it's been too long since I've seen it around!
It's not an archetype, it's just a colour combination.

23:11 "Ha, Another one!" All I could think was 'D DJ Covert, Covert'
“Going number 2…. That’s not what I mean” 😂😂😂

29:45 when youre looking for land 😂😂 The shuffler trolled you so hard that whole game
Second game was so satisfying *chef's kiss*
drawing all the 7s almost made me spit onto my computer. I hold you responsible CGB😂
Must be my lucky day, my 2 favorite MTG youtubers inspiring each other!!🎉❤
That second game was crazy good, ive win in such circumstances and literally screamed like i won the pro tour for getting through that man board wipes and memory deluges...
CGB and Sonio for the win

That was a fun one. Thanks CGB.
lol loved the call out to Dr. Alan Grant.
Best part of CGB doing standard events
"What the hell does this card do"
He says in his anti-peasant voice.
This was great content creation. I laughed a lot, thanks CGB!
“Going #2… That’s not what I meant!” LOL 😂😂😂😂😂
Sorry for your pain, glad to see i'm not the only one who gets clowned by the shuffler... this is why people play low curve decks... it doesn't go big, but it usually goes.
This has to be the token "shuffler is fine" game. At least three meme moments were in thia video 😂
It's like Sonio, but with commentary.
54:31 Should have kept this one. Three draws to get a green source for double Topiary Stomper and they seem good against much of the meta. Especially monored ;) Three draws with maybe 40% of the library green sources.
CGB is one of us. Getting mana screwed, getting the big bois as topdecks when you're on two lands...
Missed the even money dance 😔
Love the event format!!
Sonio always has really really cool decks, but iny experience the shuffler always gets the nest of me when i try to play them
When do we see epic SONIO vs. COVERT GO BLUE? Please!
love to watching playing events
Shuffler is fine 👌
Simic Ramp I always use Invasion of Arcavios to get the Green March from KND
50:39 = blue sun's twilight would habe being crazy.(easy to say it after, i know)
44:37 got me😂
never thought id be excited to see a simic deck instandard again lol
Is it just me or does the Cardtext in the Decks View seem a little bit blurry?
CGB might be the only player to record themselves attempting to copy a spell that can't be copied
Never forget that CGB lost against Dinkleberg with a starter Deck in one of those Events.
Don't give up, next time we want to see an even money dance!
How do you know when there’s a standard event happening?
Standard events run 24/7. Just queue up in the client
that second match was insane
This is my nightmare
Oh hey it's the man, myth and legend
I never thought I would see a dreadhound cast in standard 😂
The dreadhound in game 3 🤣☠️🤣☠️🤣☠️🤣
That is honestly the first time I have ever seen a card say “this can’t be copied” lmfao
I'm not 100% sure, but I think mono red, and agro in general, is a lot more popular on ladder than in events, because ladder incentivizes high volume over high win rate, whereas events incentivize high win rate over high volume.

CGB is perfect for a variety of competitive standard decks, Sonio is perfect for shit that’s so over the top and janky it works (sometimes)
You could have at least shared a link to Sonios YT page, no??
You need a link to a youtuber's page? You know about the search box, right?😝
So happy he beat that esper deck. The most agonizing lame thing to play against
Shuffler did not want this deck to win 😂
Simic is just uplayable after Simic Flash from War of the Spark has rotated, missing too many things to be good
The "can't be copied" non-bo. Wow.
CGB has the killer instinct of a wet, soggy noodle.
If we play a Sonio deck, maybe we could beat Sonio!
running voldaren epicure on monored aggro, seems like a budget choice
Should get rid of jin and put in awaken the woods no? Or at least side board it
God...I really should have tried this deck before the ladder reset. I'm 0-4 with it. Cannot get a good draw to save my life.
Cgb: yeah ill keep a hand tha does nothing for 4 turns cause Im assuming they no playing aggro based solely on sleeves.
Cgb: loses horribly to aggro

Click on deck> your sideboard
Tribute to Arjuna
Wtf happened to the actual deck tech did you stop doing that part?
33 land deck when? in standard
Jin-Gitaxias??!!
Yeah, I don't believe sonio that this consistently beats mono red.
Wow the shuffler hates you
somewhere arjuna is happy
They really need to take forced losses out of events
Titan just doesn't feel strong enough especially with Fable getting banned. This version ramp suffers from not being able to remove opposing creatures reliably early on, idk how it doesn't get steamrolled by mono red or soldiers
titans still fun to fight rig reanimate but yeah think youre correct thisll get mowed down cant just rely on only fading hope early
azusa is so shiet since it doesn't get you the land for the land drop it really hurts to use the card, the domain one is better in this deck
Or play the 2 mana Preordain with kicker that lets you play an extra land.
@@Threadoflength true, both are better though i do think the domain one is better since it's a ramp deck so u can cast the summon 6 mobs side more often than normal
What's the name of the domain one?
Deck is missing he frog
Deck needs some Shigeki
imagine sitting down to craft a deck entirely around farewell and sunfall, put 4 emperors in, the rest draw, kill, counter, with wincons being opp quits or mills themselves... are we having fun yet?
4-3 with this random bs pile, eh? not bad!
Please for the love of god..... click and eat the food on the table! lol It is necessary!!!!
anyone playing esper control disgusts me
Arjuna rejoices
:D
The deck has too many high CMC cards
Lol these streamers just copy and paste decks from sites and take credit XD
Too mana heavy, not enough mana ramp. Cgb makes better decks
lol @ play queue :)
He's playing in an event, which can be harder than the ladder. Nice try though.
