GIX Dimir Crime Midrange | Magic the Gathering: Arena Standard Deck

[@SeexDub]

You’re my favorite streamer but after LoR died I just couldn’t follow you into Snap. Not again. I decided to try MTG and the whole time I was thinking “damn Mog would love this”. So glad to be on the same game as you again.

[@SeexDub]

By the way, I just recently found out you made the switch. I feel like I missed out on a whole month of hype and brews.

[@MegaMogwai]

@@SeexDub Just a week! We barely got started :]

[@HydroKyl240COG]

@@MegaMogwaiI know you have to balance how much you upload for best of three, but every blue moon can you post three matches? I’d love it, personally

[@joshd7621]

​@@MegaMogwai cool to see you're playing mtg again. You and noxious were my favorite streamers for arena

[@leonardofornaro733]

From an Italian: approved.

[@michaeldelgrosso3539]

I like the bo3 videos more so far. Youre always good at explaining your thought process so it's just more value content.

[@tedholic99]

Boy do I love how palpable the salt is with just 2 words. Even better to see you dish it right back "Your go!" 😂

[@sangresolida]

I’ve finally started playing Magic for real because of your new videos. You were also a big reason why I played LoR so much during 2021 and 2022. Thank you, Mog!

[@spooningbroom6674]

I remember watching you way back with Pokemon battles. Stumbled upon your Ratgari video yesterday and was excited to see you playing Magic. Glad to see you again after all these years

[@michaeljoint8516]

The return of a legend. Still remember bolas standard with ur brews. So good to have u back

[@Kay8B]

26:05 Mogwais impression of Lago from Aladdin is spot on here!!!

[@luisd1289]

Looks interesting, nice deck!!

[@proxyaskew]

been a fan since the LoR days, it's awesome to see you coming to magic. dimir midrange is probably my favorite archetype ever, this is a cool take on it, I think I'll try it out!

[@joeyboss6939]

You were the reason I picked up mtg last time, and when i picked it up again I found myself going back through your old mtg videos. Then a little bit later you start posting mtg again!!! Wishin you the best mog

[@Miks-do7dk]

Thx to Cgb i know you are back. I watched almost every Video back at the Days when Nissa who Shakes the Worlds and Hydroid Krassis was a thing niceee that you playing Mtg again :)

[@FlamingFox911]

It's been a long time since I seen one of your videos featuring an opponent going "Your Go" followed by roping/Alt-F4.

[@EggsAreGood55]

Aaaay nice man this is similar to what I've been rocking. You clearly have not lost your touch at all when it comes to knowing what's good in the meta of Arena right now.

[@geeksgambit]

Been running something similar and I'm loving the versatility. Great vid as always, ggs mog!!

[@monkeyorful]

Finally a Dimir deck :D

[@NickNameGone]

Exactly what I was about to comment, can't wait for a Grixis...loved those Grixis brew back in the days...

[@shino4242]

Thanks again for the videos and detailed decktechs. I've played MTG before but I think the sheer quantity of choice gives me choice paralysis + thr huge card pool makes it hard for me to remember synergies. So having you spell things out in a detaildd way helps grt my creative juices pumping. Deck building is definitely easier in things like Hearthstone and LoR that limit your deckbuilding to an extent + not needing to think about your mana curve as hard because your mana in those games are guaranteed. Like Hearthstone only lets you use 2 copies of any given card + only 1 of any legendary AND you can only use one class + neutral cards. And in LoR they limit you to two regions and also a smaller amount per card. Thr sheer freedom in MTG can be overwhelming. Plus the deck building "lessons" I learned playing those games that have consistent reliable mana gain or games like Yugioh which is resourceless dont apply in MTG. So sometimes I end up thinking card X is super good only to learn its garbage or mediocre or niche. Im just rambling nowm thanks again. Keep it up Mog

[@TheOriginalMomo]

Mogwai, I enjoy these Magic videos but as a LoR player, I have to pause to read all card effects and I think it would be great and easy to watch you play one of your budget decks from your guide plus I’m sure a lot of your viewers who are new to Magic would benefit from that too. Love from UK ❤

[@arthurmonteiro9788]

I love Gix, nice to see a deck with him! And Dimir is my favorite guild, so even better

[@Frozenfire713]

Love the videos. One suggestion that’s helpful for me (no MTG experience) it’s helpful if you highlight the card when talking about it in your deck tech section so newer players can pause the video and read the text. Thanks for the content and keep up the great work!

[@darkpite5982]

Loving the content buddy

[@ahmedsabrah4133]

You are my fav card game streamer known you since LoR's beginning. I try to watch your content about mtg now and then to support you as i dont play it tbh. I also stopped playing LoR and went for ptcglive

[@TheLanach]

I am having a lot of fun with the lists you are brewing. Keep up the good work Mog! 🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@sirrosiel]

2nd video I am seeing of yours. I am trying to convince my brother to come back to MTG:Arena. He tried to lure me into Marvel Snap but I didn't make it. Now, I am trying to lure him with your videos as he has seen your videos for a long time muahaha

[@Microwaved87]

Glad you are back. Still remember the EXUPROSION edit!

[@teaandmilk7172]

Just started mtg, struggling with a 35% wr budget deck in silver rn, but I’ve heard the start is the worst part since you don’t have much to work with, so I’ll just have to push through 😂 Love how informative the vids last week have been mog keep it up 👍

[@randomuser1093]

Yeah same, I’m missing most of the cards even in the starter decks which Mogwai recommends in the other video

[@jrm454_]

Hi Mogwai! I used to follow you wayyy back and just wanted to say, I’m so glad to see you enjoying deck brewing, building and playing! Your videos are still top notch, and I’m going to try to jump back in to MTG, could really use it now. Your starter deck video was perfect. All the best, keep up the amazing content!

[@Po66400]

I have really no idea how you managed to rank up after platinum with this deck, I tried it and every game I fight again mono blu or mono black, but it’s insane I can’t do anything against them… 😢 anyway I’m very glad you came back on MTGa but in the mean time I don’t thank you for making me fall for it again 😂 thanks for the good content ✌🏻

[@freizyfreeze2]

I like the bo3! I usually only watch bo1, commander, or brawl. Your deck building and thinking makes it make sense to me! Also, told you mtg got good again! 🎉

[@magischerreis4847]

Love the best of 3 content!

[@stanw5225]

After loving your LoR content, I am back to dive into MTG. Great video as always. One silly question, how can I import your decks? Exporting/Copying the deck-list via the link and importing in the client gives me the error: ''Deck import failed with the following message: The input string is empty.''

[@Aceplosion]

You're goated and I want you to stay consistent and pogging, I think you would benefit a lot from having a small backlog of a few videos. Record like 3-5 videos and keep them in your back pocket for times like yesterday's upload. But you did just start on MTG again so you might be planning this already

[@StressinLyrics]

KING MOGWAI BABY!!!!

[@alancruz1405]

U have a lot of crazy ideas for decks...i love it.

[@Neaier]

Can you try a deck based on cats and dogs ? I remember this was the only deck i played when i used to play this game, it was kinda fun (although it is obviously not meta at all haha)

[@Jonasz314]

BTW I justed played against a Crime deck which was heavily centered around Investigation Campaign, and played ZERO creature. I guess it was fully expecting aggro/midrange matchup, since their spot removal would be just dead against control, and killing creature is a big source of crime in that deck - but that did seem to work very well.

[@darkportents9835]

what of your deck videos so far is the most budget friendly? I'm still trying to grind out that Izzet deck but would like to try more.

[@ApollousasBear]

So is the Twitch angle over now that you decided to daily upload on youtube?

[@champadin1755]

Blue has vigilance now? That's wild

[@GodbodyRoku]

I love Gix but I only have one of him.. been looking at dimir decks since I just play golgari currently. I can't wait til the end of the month so I can actually drop some cash on gems so I can get more cards for more builds!

[@kaede_m]

Im actually surprised you keep matching into Domain so frequently these past few videos

[@PhyrexianPraetor]

I've been waiting for this deck ever since I saw its name in the first vid lmao

[@alexandersuciawan2637]

Im new at MTG , im currently silver III thanks to mogwai mono dark deck. May i ask what pack should i buy for beginner starting with mono dark deck?

[@DuelingMaru]

Really nice vid. The view will go up if you keep this up

[@R_Arsiks_6]

This deck is awesome, but is it good in bo1?

[@AzazelReborn81]

Hey… Italian watcher here!! 🤬 😜

[@EggsAreGood55]

Keep up the Bo3 vids man I love em!

[@xxyWolf]

17:19 Why not eat the bat and the duelist to drain for another 2 life there?

[@svenglas1805]

this deck looks cool, do cards of it rotate or is it "safe" to craft?

[@MegaMogwai]

Graveyard Trespasser and Path of Peril (in the sideboard) are the only cards that will rotate in this deck!

[@mihaimorar2043]

21:41 Thing here is, it counts each land type once. So at that moment, they had Mountain, Swamp and Forest, so it cost 3 mana.

[@MegaMogwai]

Yeah, I know the card but always seem to forget exactly how it works

[@FlopGaze]

They also had the bant triome which had blue and white in it.

[@luisfim7401]

whats your opinion on MTGO?

[@mauronzz]

Deck name suggestion: Gix BatTalion

[@cwbykrptk8352]

Is graveyard trespasser the only card in rotation here? Wat could be a replacement for her?

[@ashutoshmohapatra7320]

Lord Skitter, Sewer King performs a similar role and sometimes better than trespasser.

[@LoveFae95]

Bruh Mogwai gets me hype for cards, but I just can't with MTG's predatory store mechanics, the grind to get anything going seems extra-ordinary painful. Snaps gate-keeping was just as bad but here it's hugely p2w I feel. Lowkey holding out for Shadowverse 2

[@UnkillableTurkey]

Does Anyone know if sonio has played against mog???

[@Alphacg11]

Hey Mog, any chance we can see some brawl/historic brawl in the future?

[@Hattol2i]

Do you think you can show drafting mode? I would love to learn the thinking process and how to draft decent decks.

is gix a good craft if black is my main colour?

YES. 2x Sheoldred, 4x Gix should be the use of your first Mythic Wildcards.

i see, i already have sheoldred and alcazotz from your golgari midrange deck :) I was looking at gix next. thanks

[@MajVictory2]

Still don't quite understand the side board stuff. yes im a nub

[@travisf202]

In best of 3 games, you get 15 cards outside your main deck to swap 1 for 1 in between games. You can take stuff out that doesn't work as well in some matchups for cards better suited for the matchup

[@PhyrexianPraetor]

In MTG formats that are Best of 3, you're allowed to have a sideboard of 15 cards that you are allowed to change out with cards in your main deck in between each round of the best of 3

[@WhitieWu]

Hard to like a counter deck. They are only fun if your opponent isn't playing them.

[@blobzombie]

No one: Absolutely no one: Gix: 🤌
