[@OfficialFRED-0]

48:30 avatar & card back selection can be a good psycological tactic on BO1, I have no statistics to back this up but I feel my opponents mulligan more often if I have the chandra avatar with the lightning bolt cardback equipped, Id love to see their face when they go down to 6 or even 5 cards and then I play a UW tap land and pass.

[@tylermacdonald3124]

This decklist is really cool, CGB. This one and your Dimir Excruciator deck, with all the one-ofs, are some of the best brews I’ve seen in a while. I’m gonna test both lists for this RCQ season!

[@tinokerkhof]

"That's how you smack around a Boros deck that doesn't know how to count" Followed directly by not counting correctly turns to win. "I need the life from the Tome more than the Pact" Life from the tome takes 2 more turns to trigger, while pact wins next turn xD

[@deadneck13]

20:12 "I could just attack them to death, but what would the fun in that be?" When I first started on Arena, the second deck I made was this stupidly large Orzov pile that would use Shadow Rite Priest to cheat out a giant demon or reanimate the big Avacyn, but i would never attack. Instead, I'd end up with Ratadrabik, Elas il-Kor and Liesa and just cast and reanimate Elas over and over, killing her to the legend rule.

Hi Covert, just wanted to say that your videos are incredible. You are an incredible player, not to mention funny and your videos are very light to watch. Keep on going. If it's not too much to ask, i'm curious about Urza deck, and I think that it's gameplay would be very different today, could you make a deck with your vision about the theme? It would be a very nice change of scenery

[@av_79]

Sweet deck. Wish there was a way to get back Offering if it has been discarded. Playing just one copy makes me nervous but with this build you never really want to draw more than one.

[@StanleyKuo184]

I love this type of deck, which takes thinking and planning to pay well so you won't see B01 flooded with them, and yet it's surprisingly strong that even mono red folds to it.

[@Whades681Gaming]

As far as I can see WOTC is forcing everyone to play red decks; I think that it is great that the give starter decks to play, but what drives the player base to red is that they don't regulate those playing their decks to others who play using their starter decks, forcing those who just started playing or returning players to play red if they ever want a chance to win as those deck require the least strenuous wild cards in the game and allow for a stronger win outcome. I myself have made complaints to only receive a pre-recorded message from them and in the end just ended up deleting the game for poor gaming experience. Thank you for creating videos so I can at least feel like I can enjoy this game that I loved playing oh so many years ago.

[@theoneandonlyflexo]

There is a starter deck queue though

[@ronnyweinreich]

I also got to Mythic with my Harmless offering deck. But i gifted more Greed's Gambit to my Opponent, then Demonic Pacts. 😅

[@Lvl1Glaceon]

Okay, so. I just got into Arena, and Magic in general - not counting the bit I played as a teeny tiny brat And I really like the little Mono Green ramping-aggro deck I've built with what I had Bunch of creatures that throw +1/+1 tokens on each other for the lowest of low cost. Some removal spells and utility stuff to keep things rolling. It feels quite nice. It's not my first card game so I kind of know how to built a deck But I feel like green is both, a noob stomper and a noob trap deck. And I'm hoping someone can enlighten me as to why - or how things actually look

[@runescapewarrior66]

Immediately built the deck after seeing your list, I'm 10 for 10 against mono red aggro and feels so good.

[@michaelsilk275]

I’m making a similar deck to this with cursed recording. There’s a black card that hands over artifacts too then. Maybe I should abandon the second wincon of hitting your own creatures with huge spells to do damage and focus on card draw and ramp with it.

[@stolve8847]

Why didn't you play Archfiend in this deck as it synergizes well with both Ritual Chamber and Demonic Pact?

[@lancelee338]

I believe any red deck that runs Beseech the Mirror should also run a one-of Hidetsugu’s Second Rite

[@MikeKing001]

I only watch the rarran/Cgb vids. I only came to this one because of the title, but this deck appears to win in spite of the demonic pact, not because of it. Edit i made the comment around 25 minutes. After that the pact started to do something.

[@hibyedie321]

[@Kirtash77]

Is this good for bo3? Need a SB for this deck !! where can i find one? Only one offering makes me mad lol

[@allenwalsh1180]

I think you're hating too much on the tutors. I've been winning most of my games with my cat pact deck with 4 cases and 4 beseeches in Bo3. So even when they see it coming, I'm still beating them. Worst case, demonic pact is a wonderful value engine on a stable board. I'm not saying it's tier 1, but it isn't too bad either.

[@Lordidude]

Aggro is the smaller meta in BO3, and you can sideboard great solutions. In BO1, you can easily lose if you don't hold a removal spell up on turn 2 far too often.

[@kingjames4886]

I've seen so many people failing with that last deck oh yours today lmao...

No, protection from black (or enchantments) means it can't even be targeted by Nowhere to Run.

You say you get too competitive in Traditional, and you don't like yourself, but do you really enjoy this?? How about Events instead of ladder? At least they're less predictable. How about Pioneer? Bo1 is a toxic format, and there are SO MANY other options. You've made your name, secured your reputation ... and you're making your money. Start doing what YOU enjoy and if you lose toxic viewers who want you to play a toxic format ... SO BE IT!

Nothing BM here. Playing a game that you're a .01% chance to win is just a waste of everyone's time, and potentially puts you into a worse mindset. Conceding is the right move.
