☀️💀 Edgar Blood Money Orzhov Control | Mythic

[@covertgoblue]

If you win a @crokeyz tournament with control, you're definitely cool

[@RmFrZQ]

Why the one in best of one didn't participated? Could've been a good content.

[@L_Jefe]

@@RmFrZQ the tourney started at 5am EST

[@stupidmtg9743]

Hey what is your code at cool stuff inc?

[@DUES_EX]

how do i beat control?

[@RenanTheBoss21]

i gotta say, i'm at the start of the video but i've been LOVING the little sneak peak you do with the intro about the matches we will watch, really fun!!

[@Wolfeson28]

Absolutely. I think the previews are great, just don't spoil the results with the stats at the beginning. This one was perfect, but you didn't show stats at all for this one, so I'm not sure if you meant to take them out of the intro.

[@bornofthenight3871]

Hey CGB, I was trying out Sorin in the dimir Sedgemoor lier deck you out out recently, trimming on disruption and duress for sorin and more grasp, and it turned out pretty well.

[@unmercey8897]

Love the Dimir Witch Deck. And was thinking of new cards fit in there. Your adjustments sound really nice and i ll try them

[@TJE.13]

Word of advice from a Mythic Dimir player, just drop the witch. Lier and Hullbreaker is the way forward. I have 2 Sorins and 2 hull breakers in my list for the witches, and I'm running 3 Dread Fugue main deck instead of Duress because it takes out 2 cost white/green annoyances like Thalia or (insert annoying Green 2 drop). You also want a minimum of 6 1 cost instants to lock your opponent out of the game because when the Hullbreaker comes down and you get to untap? Its GG I've had more people scoop then stay to die.

[@bornofthenight3871]

@@TJE.13 i played against a deck that sounded almost exactly like that earlier, it seemed interesting. I'll give it a try if I get some hullbreakers.

[@bornofthenight3871]

@@TJE.13 oh yeah do you have a list?

[@TJE.13]

@@bornofthenight3871 3 fading hope 3 consider 3 dread fugue/duress 3 infernal grasp 3 power word kill 3 jwari disruption 2 hero's downfall 2 thirst for discovery 3 divide by zero 2 memory deluge 2 Sorin 1 shadows verdict 3 Lier 2 Hullbreaker horror 2 meathook massacre Then ig you can use whatever land base you have or feel like, obviously the deck is mainly for the creature decks around and it does struggle against other control decks so some sideboard counters are good plus swapping the duress/fugue around, also parasitic grasp is much better than infernal grasp in the mono white matchup.

[@rumenstoyanov4304]

Just wanted to drop by and say how great discovering your channel has been! I recently got into magic and these videos have been so informative and fun! I can't believe I watch more or less all of them all the way through, despite their length :D

[@Zyvelteas]

Ah yes, the Grampire deck

[@Sir_Master]

I love how CGB will feature new, cool cards by just throwing them into a control list. Means I get to actually see them happen without aggro just stopping them from every having them opportunity to hit the field.

[@ryanbolson23]

Isn’t this deck just a recreation of the deck that won?

[@brianhodge5181]

[@odststalker5117]

Fell Stinger is such a great card. I used it to kill an opponent yesterday by exploiting it to itself while I had meathook on the field, and targeted the opponent for the 2 damage. I really feel like they were raging after that exchange

[@gottinrod]

I killed ppl with a blood on the snow with massacre on the battlefield. Pulling back the scorpion and exploiting itself, dealing sometimes up to 8 dmg to the opponent. Common occurrence, blood kills 4 things, scorpion comes back and hits for 3 more. its awesome. If you are in a tight race 7-8 dmg out of nowhere closes the game easily.

[@philipmott9362]

Liking the pregame summaries you’re giving where you talk about the matchups we’ll see.

[@SunsetHaste]

Really enjoying the games synopses in the intro. If I were to guess I'd say that it also gives you a little push in people watching till the end because of basic human psychology :D

[@davidpurcell9497]

So glad you played this deck. Had a feeling you would! 😀

[@gludington2002]

Love me some Edgar, he's been putting in some work on the ladder for me. I have him in my Orzhov decks, control, tempo, and blood money. I even splash a bit of white in my Rakdos Vampire decks to fit him, and he's pulling more than his weight.

[@fedond1133]

Man I was thinking exactly what you were in the post, during your games. Your a god among us! Thanks as always

[@lolwwuttt]

I've been rocking this list for the past 4 days to a 72% win percentage and now you go and tell everyone. Screw you, CGB. (I'm just kidding I love you)

[@bennettdavid904]

I just started mtga two weeks ago. I'm completely addicted to watching your channel! Could you do a video on how you decide to build decks?

[@kyllbs1]

This intro was absolutely perfect. Love the teasers without the spoilers.

[@JMPrudomTube]

Nice plays. I enjoy the current orzhov metas. I am running my take of the deck with wedding tokens no blood or lol just 2 3 drop Kaya instead for planes walker. 3 village rites no eye twitch. 4 Inscription of ruin 5 of the 2 drop discard chumps(1 elf cleric 4 party rogues). The extra draw from village and shockingly weddings let me push pressure out fast that punishes with the hook. The double tokens work with the treasure and wedding plus I got 2 of the white 7 sorc land with the 2 angels + 1 foretell angel tokens as end game options. Kicked inscription with discard 3 add chump and kill 3 cost or less has paid off well too. Really toasts most white and green. The discard plays help Vs the izzet decks but that one is very much a coin toss of who can best the other resource wise early imo

[@arenahacks4836]

Orzhov blood money is one of my favorites! Edgar does have his good matchups like you mentioned, but I agree that overall he doesn't have a high impact on this particular build.

[@vivarevo1105]

It is always an honor to see a deck list you have been playing since release (with some minor changes) being played by CGB

[@seanyboymccabe]

Not a huge fan of previewing the games in the intro. I personally like the surprise of the matchups

[@roffe8751]

This.

[@MrTouchstone86]

Agreed...but hey he seems to like it lately. Not gonna knock him for trying new things.

[@matthewnewman3376]

preview the deck and skip ahead to the matches, easy fix.

[@Gmastersix]

Yeah once he begins the spoiler I just skip about 60 seconds normally gets me to gameplay. I figure for every person like me who doesn’t like the spoiler there’s someone who loves it.

[@pimpstick9988]

Well I rather a deck and scheme being explain to me rather than it being a surprise considering making a deck

[@user-uz6xl2vb3v]

wow this was my first deck using crimson vow standard glad now theres a video hehe

[@chrisssss4116]

dude love these new intros with the teasers about the games

[@GranMaese]

♫ They play mono-white, they play mono-white. Tax their face, 'till they yell. ♫

[@GreenHavoc]

Woot! I like that you gave us an Edgar deck...cool to see him in action even though he's not the best...

[@empirate100]

I like two Dreadhounds in the mono-black (moistened with DbZ in my case) deck. That card is a huge blocker, but the important part is that it burns out the opponent very quickly due to the "stuff dying" trigger.

[@travissafford2312]

I like the new format with previewing what's to come in the games. Let's me see what match ups you will be facing and see if the video is going to be interesting. Nice update!

[@ultrakombou]

I have been playing this deck quite a bit and I find Edgar to be the star of the show, if I can get 2 of them out at the same time.

[@jdrakemusic]

I just gave a few matches a try with the actual tournament list (played bo3) and every game I've gotten him out he's been a house. Just a good defensive card to stall the game against aggro and you can be aggressive with him versus control, of course the bounce feels pretty bad. I've played around with sorin and I'm not going to say hes bad but my luck with him has been pretty rough. When he sticks, it's been get a vampire out, then bob and hit one of the few blood on the snows and cry. Happened twice before I just couldn't play with it anymore against aggro. This has still been one of my favorite archetypes since the 22 standard though and I always enjoy getting your thoughts on it.

[@Lukas-rv4lc]

Yeah MAN! I played it today with a few additions. 2 Sorin 1 Ebondeath 1Edgar instead of 4 Edgar. 1 or 2 Concealing Curtains are also spicy for eyetwich

[@gottinrod]

There is a case for discussing convergent evolution, i never look at any lists from anywhere and i have been playing a deck almost exactly like this one. Only difference is better mana base (stupid tapped lands getfo) and no trashgar but the Arjunawalker in its place. Also that stinger is an all star man. 4 off for sure.

[@bk1ll]

I’m a big fan of an edgar / sorin split. Been happy with 2 of each.

[@vivictus7165]

Playing this now. Removed one Edgar and one Lolth, and added two Sorins. Double Edgar is amazing! Legend rule. Have one as the creature and one as the enchantment. When one becomes the other, legend rule it and they just swap places. Especially great with all those vampire tokens.

[@seebzz4834]

that intro mate, very well

[@renmaddox]

At 48:36 it wasn't the Paladin Class -- that only taxes you on their turn -- just that the Adeline was 1 tougher than you expected after the other 2 creatures died. Same result, but different cause.

[@Calfa2x]

It was the paladin class since it was buffing the 1 extra toughness, he forgot about the level 2 effect.

[@danlewis7707]

The new red werewolves in a burn your face off strategy. Discuss. (Gestures casually toward all and sundry in a shooing gesture)

[@davidds445]

I think Voldaren bloodcaster fills a better role than professor of symbology in this deck, gives you blood tokens to flip it and have some flying attackers late game or allow you to discard and draw one, plus gets a bonus with Edgar

[@MrBodydriver]

Best deck name/video title ever

[@nataliem4434]

I love my grindy grandpa and you can't convince me otherwise

[@ericlecarde]

Oh wow ..it must be Crispin Freeman voicing Sorin

[@drewconsylman8724]

CGB would Archon of Emeria be good in this meta? Just a question because I know basic lands are more rare and most decks need to cast 2 spells a turn for there combo.

[@ItachiEspada]

You would've won against the Mono-White guy (Samsara) if you used Sciences and then Vanishing Verse on Redaine to live with 2 HP and then clean the whole Board with Massacre - you kinda had that in the Bag. Still a great Vid as always and that's obviously a Stay till the end :)

[@gabfontaine639]

22:56 "edgar is trassh" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 im dying

[@kiss6917]

Bloooood moneeeyyy!!!!

Was hoping for standard event play so we could have a Blood Even Money Dance!!!

[@jamesstrasser3650]

Try Mardu Vampires for a vid. My "wedding party" build has a 56%, in mythic, winrate.

[@Wolf21973]

Patiently awaits for a upgraded werewolf deck. 🐺

[@Knoxmortis187]

I'm not sure if replacing Onyx is good honestly. The -2/+2 for every spell is just so good. Has won out several games for me.

[@odststalker5117]

I'm a simple man. I see blood money and I click

[@HalTuberman]

Edgar is better than I thought. I fell in love with the card when it was previewed, but I said to myself "too bad it's no good." BUT, I have learned that Edgar is not horrible. He is a little bit better than okay. (okay+... or if you prefer good-) I love the new intro/outro thing ya do, CGB. Way to keep things fresh!

[@silasfox5075]

Does it work out that everyone playing at any given time is just always mostly on the draw with an on the play streak here and there? Is there some math behind this totally fine shuffler that I 100% love and respect..?

[@travisjohnson6703]

So let me get this straight, CGB dreamed always of azorius being the key to the meta...and Wizards made blue and white the most annoying meta in opposing aggro and staring match decks. Sounds like CGB found a cursed monkey's paw somewhere.

[@sebastiang.5032]

Finally a interesting pile apart from the samey same Mono White decks!

[@xxxmelficexxx]

Interesting? Its just blood money from 2021 standard with a couple new cards one of which I think is terrible in this deck (markov)

[@barney3444]

Blood money is back baby!

[@avedisdrummer989]

Old Money is a great name for the deck - also would have accepted Eddie Money or "Take Me Home Tonight" 😂

[@getlooky736]

Could grandpa work next to the Judge that comes back as an alt win con? They both slow the game and give something when they die.

[@CraigEllsworth]

You always seem to answer my question just as I'm asking it! Get out of my head CGB!!!

[@Clouded-Logic]

Man he is so desensitized to the wonky openers, going off that first games lack of a reaction.

[@Ca1mdownplz]

At 22:40 why not just meathook for x 1 so redaine doesn't tax it? You'd be able to survive with the lifegain

Nice deck

[@zandadoum]

i love how u announce the matches of the video in the intro. really hypes it up making me want to watch the full video... still not into the deck tech at the end tho, i think thats kinda unnecesary

[@nikeraikage5318]

I cant deal with the funky mana. That tilts me more than anything else in life. I dont use creature lands anymore because i seem to only get them at the worst possible times against the worst matchups

Can't Edgar combo with it self. If you put two on the field, doesn't that mean one dies and now you got him and a coffin and when the coffin flips back you do it again
