[@VOIDWALKER_333]

“DRAGONS are NOT afraid of BATS!” That killed me 😂

[@RetroMTG]

Totally serious, the Yorion Emporium commercial at the end is award-worthy. Even were it not starring CGB, it would still be amazing! Encore!

[@hobgobbling]

oh my god I almost clicked off before watching that. it's so good lmao

[@rwb392]

The water was low key stressful.

[@Tredemptation]

I was wondering, why does this video have so much time left? Glad I stayed!

I die a little every time my opponent pops a turn 2 Deep Cavern Bat. Loving the vulnerability/honesty this episode! Can't put my finger on it exactly but you seem like you give no fks today and it's refreshing! Thanks for all of the Arena and commander content, as always ❤️

[@jaredplaudis4825]

Seeing Deep-Cavern Bat cast on turn 2 is becoming one of the most triggering play lines for me

Just fought a terror of the peaks OTK deck in Brawl- and it was so fun to play against solely because I played Emrakul on their set up turn and proceeded to OTK them with their own dragons by targeting their face for each trigger lol.

[@python953]

Was it the Tiamat tutor for Miirym Terror etc deck or a different one?

[@graememathieu575]

I love all these wild different decks. I'm glad it looks like the meta isn't stale right now and that you seem to be having fun with it!

[@noobknights]

38:17 mayhaps they sting anyone who dares try to ride them

[@Jerm0510]

That was a pretty quality ad at the end there - entertaining while also doing a solid job representing the product in a tangible way. Good stuff!

[@eliazancan9076]

By any chance did you consider changing a couple of Storm the Festival copies with Smuggler's Surprise? That card's pretty nasty for a surprise ambush, considering that it's an instant

[@danieledman5826]

It's likely that he'd empty his hand before he could get a chance to cast Smuggler's Surprise, or draws it when he has no cards in hand, unfortunately. With more card draw, though, it could be a great addition.

[@eliazancan9076]

True, but it can happen that you're already have two or three creatures in hand and a Storm may whiff. Plus Smuggler can return creatures from graveyard (and put them on the battlefield at the same time if you have enough mana) and give hexproof to all your creatures since all of them have power > 4

[@KelzBelzGG]

Mesa falcon guy at it again! Love the vids! Have you seen the Rakdos Joins up, hulking metamoprh, and Abuelos awakening Azorius Combo deck? I'm climbing the ladder like crazy with it! Turn 4 infinite combo win is very possible!

[@KelzBelzGG]

Ah, I did not yet finish watching the whole video when I commented that 😅

[@travisjohnson6703]

Empathizing with your opponent when you blindside them with not just non-meta bullshit, but bad against meta bullshit, is both the best and worst feeling.

[@XaeroGames]

DRAGONS ARE BACK!

[@Clint_Beastwood]

Long live the reanimator king 👑

[@PowerfulSkeleton]

I'm afraid that as the video shows, dragons are kinda ass...

[@allsighs]

It appears the deck list featured and previewed was different than the one played since I saw invasion of zendikar and the green legendary kamigawa dragon. Can we see what the final deck list was? I love gruil monster decks and love trying the varieties.

[@rakkisfox2967]

Anyone else thought Storm rotated out already?

[@elchingon12346]

I haven’t been playing arena because I’ve been playing more commander, but a deck like this is exactly what would get me back into standard. I really hope this deck is good enough for tier 2 or 3

[@princequincy5421]

22:13 Jesus that caught me off guard XD

[@ghuruzilla]

26:10 there's an infinite combo with Rakdos Joins Up. I fought this deck in silver the other day, I was pretty confused.

[@rastynicc]

Yea I had the same experience. Played against someone that milled their whole deck and conceded when I countered the reanimate spell. Was wondering what their plan was for the first 5 minutes of the game.

[@Trevbot789]

ARJUNA! Cgb is running the card again!

[@benitodigantenbrink4261]

Classical Deck. Luv it. Reminds me of the MTG I used to play back in the days 😀

[@PsychedelicCheeseburgers]

38:23 It literally does sting itself, thus giving itself -1/-1!

[@Vael221]

Love seeing another iteration of Gruul Monsters. I've been playing with Calamity variants to mixed success but its a ton of fun when it goes off and I'm looking forward to how the archetype develops

[@noahdorn3080]

"The Ipad has been thrown across the room." I lost it haha

[@l33tminion]

I was pleased that you got to see that Metamorph Joins Up combo, it sure is an odd one! Though when I tried to tweak that deck, I found I had to learn from experience why it has to be Metamorph and the other Clones in the format won't do. Oops.

[@thejray422]

It's the new AZ reanimate combo with Rakdos joins up.

[@Supercharged1976]

Seriously, CGB, with your influence and other content creators if we start a petition to Wizards to bring back the old rotation I think we could make it happen! I say we do it cuz this current way is killing the game 100%!

[@Wurmfist]

I hope a lot of people stayed for the ad at the end, because that was pretty funny.

[@lancelee338]

I love your derank machine! Dragons are cool and I opened a Terror of the Peaks and a Bonehoard Dracosaur while drafting

[@thrillhouse4151]

*Terror of the Peaks* Krenko’s loyal steed, such a badass dragon.

[@Cyborgninja001]

ive been playing rakdos dragons in standard for a while and its a pretty similar setup. instead of using the green ramp spells though i use "charming scoundrels" and "magda the hoardmaster" for treasures and rakdos gives you access to "rivaz of the claw" and "expensive taste/decadent dragon". I also think a card that gets really overlooked for dragons is "kolaghan warmonger".

[@daveslave7858]

23:30 😄look at him

[@61locdog]

SOMEONE WAKE UP KIBBLER! It’s go time

[@AesirOdinn]

"DRAGONS are not afraid of BATS" That sounds so sick. For some reason it reminds me of a metal lyrics

[@brandao.rafael]

The best part of the video was CGB undercoving live the new Rakdos Awekening Combo 😆

[@failpker123]

Idk why but "all we've seen are little Shitters" had me dying

[@fablerh2476]

Besides I HAVE to click every video that promises dragons, I would come back every day just for the ad. I hope ultimate guard makes you rich for the boost they’ll be getting through your presentation :D

[@daltooinewestwood6380]

[@jackpabich763]

I do think the reanimate deck just got unlucky for not milling the Rakdos Joins up earlier. Love the deck and dedication to new content, CGB!

[@dittmar104]

It’s crazy the dies to doom blade argument has evolved into does to slick shot

[@titanlord2000]

If we had the current rotation schedule back in 2021/2022 that we do now, Terror of the Peaks would have been in the same standard format as Storm the Festival. That would have been cool, but also makes you realize how old the oldest cards in the format are. Terror of the Peaks was printed 4 years ago.

[@CMHjunk]

Keeps unkeepable hand, proceeds to complain. Classic CGB

[@RobertoFedon]

@covertgoblue I also played against that Rakdos Joins Up deck the other day and they got me turn 5. I saw their graveyard that had the clone and I wasn't worried, so I tapped out. They got the Rakdos Joins Up in the graveyard, then pulled off the combo. I had a similar reaction to it that you had. A lot of "huh?" and "WTF?" until they got me. I'll probably run the combo on one of my videos since it's the type of jank that I enjoy. XD

[@Moose00019]

That was a Jabba laugh at 25:35 if i ever heard one

[@mickMahaus32]

30:00 i was legit hoping you lose so i could see what the opponent was brewing

[@LordZurkov]

The funniest part of 23:35 is that their absolutely baffling bat choice earlier turned out to have won them the game. If they'd taken anything else, you'd have been able to kill Sheoldred with the topdecked Invasion of Tarkir and 3 dragons in hand.

[@freyamiles3718]

31:07 yeah i got combod like this on ladder. Its certainly an interesting deck

[@derciliolopes7988]

you challenged the shuffler twice by keeping your hand... Lol... shuffler is THE shuffler... Nice deck!!

[@MrTJeffords]

How did you exile two (2) Topiary Stompers from your library when they aren't in the deck?

[@FIddlertheleper]

The like is for the end credits commercial, what have you done to me....

[@ayan.rodrigo]

The rakdos join up combo guy was just really unlucky. He needed the rakdos card on the graveyard to win, but 3 copies were pretty much in the bottom of the deck. he could've won easily by turn 4 but the shuffler screwed him up

[@themothaflippin]

Gotta sleeve it to believe it. Hey CGB: you're cool.

[@argentfang]

I do think a one of Calamity could be really funny to go off with a single Terror.

[@joehusbands8538]

Only here for the ultimate guard adds from here on out.

[@KodasGarden]

damn we get two videos today? we're eatin good Also this has nothing to do with the video, but a couple days after launch I made a Naya blink deck with Terror of the Peaks and I lost every game except one against a Jodah deck with a full board. I flickered four creatures with 4+ power and killed them, was pretty sweet and then I lost some more and deleted the deck lmao

[@geoturcotte]

I want to see a Naya build where Terror of the Peaks is paired with Another Round!!

[@FeenMachine88]

throw away shocks and add something useful and u get decent deck, for example Urabrask forge and Terror are best pair in red color

[@saitamagotchi44]

Inferno horse and terror of the peaks though. Not that any game lasts till turn 6 these days.

[@glorybringer8817]

@@saitamagotchi44 too slow, he have only 6 ramp cards in deck, but yes, way better than 7/7 dragon that require empty hand (belongs to aggro or red burn deck)

[@RyanIcey]

I'd argue that with Rakdos Joins Up, the opponent whiffed insanely hard. I believe they had around 20 cards left in their library before they got one of their 4 copies into the graveyard? So your whiffing with Storm the Festival was about par for the course for that match-up. Only thing worse I've seen was when I dropped Collected Company and the top 6 cards of my deck were 3 Lands and 3 Collected Companies...

[@L1v3W1r3d]

[@jantheflyingdutchman]

The infinite damage combo deck is fun, but very luck dependent. I ran it through Gold and ended up with barely a 50% win rate. I had so many games where I went to the bottom 20 cards of the deck without getting one of the three combo pieces. In this bo1 format it is just too slow. But I've seen some people with amazing results as well. Should you play the deck? Depends on your level of luck? Any interaction or countermagic tends to wreck the deck.

[@RollingCalf]

Do you mulligan for the combo pieces?

[@jantheflyingdutchman]

@@RollingCalf To a certain point. I don't want to mulligan too much and risk not hitting my lands either. If I can start out with 2 out of 3 I'm happy. I can accept 1 piece and a lot of ways to look for the other pieces.
