GYRUDA COMBO BANT RAMP | Ikoria Standard | MTG Arena Gameplay

[@covertgoblue]

I hit Mythic a few hours later with this deck. Humble Naturalist is in the deck now, the 1/3 is great against Red and Rakdos. 28 lands, never miss a land drop, and I trimmed some shock lands so it wasn't too painful because the fixing with paradise and humble makes everything easy to cast. Most of the large things, like Trawler and Umori turned into Pain Bacon, just get them dead. Forget milling them. Have fun - aetherhub.com/Deck/Public/254124 I included a sideboard for you BO3 gamers - Destiny's Spinner nukes the flash and control match-ups

[@Sir_Master]

Hey CGB, I found an infinite combo Luminous Broodmoth Soul Diviner Samut Woe Strider Cruel Celebrant Infinite lifegain, infinite ping, infinite card draw. I played this concept on arena a bit, and fiend artisan is super useful in setting up the combo if you have the moth out on the battlefield Samut can be replaced by purphoros, because it needs to just raw make all your creatures haste. I tried crashing drawbridge instead but it didn’t work, it just gives the creatures haste. So first you sacrifice the soul diviner to woe strider. It returns to the battlefield with a flying counter because of the moth and with haste because of Samut. Because it died, your opponent loses one life and you gain one. Then, you tap it to remove it’s counter and put it back on the ground. Then you sacrifice it to woe strider (cruel celebrant ping), and it returns flying. Because it’s haste you can tap it already and remove it counter. And repeat the cycle until you’ve 1. Killed your opponent 2. Gained so much life your opponent can’t really do anything anymore 3. Drawn your deck I wanted to share it with someone who could get more credit out of it, I've only gotten it to go off two times in standard play. I didn't get a response from other youtubers and I was hoping this combo could get some spotlight Deck 4 Soul Diviner (WAR) 218 2 Plains (IKO) 262 2 Temple of Silence (M20) 256 4 Luminous Broodmoth (IKO) 21 2 Swamp (IKO) 268 4 Samut, Tyrant Smasher (WAR) 235 4 Cruel Celebrant (WAR) 188 2 Temple of Deceit (THB) 245 2 Temple of Malady (M20) 254 4 Drawn from Dreams (M20) 56 4 Forever Young (ELD) 89 2 Temple of Enlightenment (THB) 246 2 Island (IKO) 265 2 Forest (IKO) 274 4 Woe Strider (THB) 123 4 Gift of Paradise (M20) 173 2 Temple of Plenty (THB) 248 2 Temple of Mystery (M20) 255 4 Fabled Passage (ELD) 244 4 Fiend Artisan (IKO) 220

This seems like a deck you should send to mono black magic, he loves the jank!

[@OrbGoblin]

I wonder if this deck might benefit from adding in Binding of the Titans. It would help prevent whiffing on Gyruda and help you hit your land drops. Also FWIW, one thing I noticed, you can use dream trawler's ability to get cards from your hand into your graveyard to make the Gyruda more consistent.

There's also the 4 mana 2/4 Centaur Druid that gains 3 life and taps for a mana of any colour. It's a little bit sturdier than the 2 mana ramp creatures, it is also even, it's a 4-drop and it gains you life, so you get that little bit more vitality against aggro

[@ThoseKidsAreEPIC]

I've been running a similar decklist lately and using luminous broodmoth. Ive been loving it because if you play a second Gyruda and have to sacrifice one then Broodmoth will bounce it back for you to then sac the other for way more uses.

Now I know that you must include the most entertaining games , but I cannot believe I'm the only one who fizzles this much.

I spent some saved up wildcards for this deck in hopes of reaching diamond this season! This deck look super fun so I wanted to give it a try, ended up just playing a lot of other Gyruda decks lol. I suggest sneaking in two copies of Luminous Moth to cheat on the legendary rule. Best thing is if Thassa is on the field, her bounce removes the flying counter so Luminous Moth can have multiple impacts. I also do suggest running thassa's oracle with that variation. Also Kogla, the Titan Ape is a two of in my build. He is friggin nuts. Also, he can bounce your charming prince back to hand.

Hey man. Love your videos. Watched a ton of them. I'd like ya to look at the version I've been working on the last couple days. I Might have to make a video of it. Similar. But more answers like going fires into a double le mana ramp spell. Or a sweeper. Or into combo on turn 4. Also mothra helps when one dies it comes back as a trigger. Can hit it 3 times off every death. You can mill quite often on turn 4.

25:46 Spark Double and Charming Prince on Elite Guard Mage (and not shocking your self) gets you to 9 life and 4 blockers. Then next turn the pig would get you 3-7 more Trample dmg, (prob chump with a Charming Prince). Not a guarantee to live, but seems like a good line to me. What do y'all think?

[@obi-wankenobihasthehighgro6607]

Perhaps its a bit clique'/obvious however in watching a majority of these matches and how they unfold I would cut the shock lands and add more ramp. I dig the concept and core objective despite loathing simic ramp in standard. I think a more simplistic concept with the deck will be more efficient; seeing how grafdigger's completely shut down the deck I would add something to deal with artifacts/enchantments mainboard and sideboard might be adventageous as well. Keep up the great content and excellent commentaries- enjoy singing to linkin park as well.

Hey, have you tried to substitute one of the Forerunners for one Kogla? It's a deck without removal and some of my rivals did get to crowd the board with ajanis and life winning creatures so that by turn six I had already losed. Adding this great ape did great for me. Great deck anyway.

[@nkusters]

I have the perfect build; add in Luminous Broodmoth; when you cast double Gyruda's, it actually comes back from the graveyard and triggers another time :P

[@nkusters]

Also, play a few Flicker of Fate's to manually trigger when you whiff.

[@federicodassi6558]

[@slyrax4154]

Two days ago this was good, but this is really bad against the Lurrus menace, especially when they have an active Priest killing all of your dorks. I think there was over an hour straight the other night where I was only paired up against Lurrus decks and didn't win a single game. I liked the Simic Bo3 Mythic #183 deck from Malpelo96 since it has Wolfwillow Haven and Migration Path instead of some of the creature ramp. Kogla and Dream Eater also feel better than the other plays because they allow for some actual interaction (and Dream Eater helps against Flash and stacks your deck). I didn't like Essence Scatter for Bo1 though, so I swapped it for Callous Dismissal which seems to be the best fix for Priest while doing a lot of work in other matches. Other than that, I cut one Paradise Druid to get an extra End-Raze Forerunners (which still leaves me 11 two-mana ramps). I'm only in gold, but once I corrected to that I went up three tiers in a single day, so I think that is the right way to go. The Lurrus matches aren't a gimme or anything, but they are much more winnable now. If you are getting frustrated with the Bant builds in the current meta then try something similar to this plan out!

I've seen Gyruda go from Gyruda Sultai (Non Companion version) to Gyruda Bant Ramp pretty fast, the mirror match is almost decided by who get Gyruda out first but if you fail to swing in for leathal or mill opponent before their turn there is a minor risk of letting them Gyruda and end up getting milled instead. I was saved by having two of my Spark Doubles in hand when I had to pass turn. OP Gyruda'd and only got a Guildmage and then passed turn, I swung in for 54 damage worth of Gyruda and Thassa and pig XD

if anyone is having issues with this deck since meta is so fast aggro based, im having great success removing the mana creatures and adding shatter the sky main deck, turning it into more of a control early game that board wipes the turn before going off. its helped tons in the matches i have been going against (mono red, menace, radkos sacrifice, and even simic flash)

[@cedricc3451]

I wonder how this deck does in sultai 🤔 are the princes vital to the deck?

[@SanderOver]

Can you make it with Haunt of Hightower? I mean, the discard is insane, but I don't know if it's....fast enough

[@christophsuster8371]

2 Brood Moths work wonders there... Its only 4 Mana, and legendruling gyruda with moth on the field gives you 2 extra gyruda triggers

[@Drewski1234]

hey sorry I'm late to the video, sorta new to magic in the sense I haven't played in 10 years and just started back up. But why wouldn't you just get rid of all the tap lands, and replace them with basics, using shock lands to round out your white source. because It seems to me there is never a time on turn 2 where you are hard casting charming prince, or on turn 4 hard casting gaurdmage so the white mana is really irrelevant and having none of the tapped lands and more basics is more reliable no?

Half the comments “omg a GoOd CoMbO PiECE REEEEEEEEEE BAN EVERYTHING” (Awesome deck dude)

[@Kasamori]

If ending a game on turn 4 instead of playing an interesting game is awesome then sure. Of course every deck is shit in standard right now, so you might as well play this.

[@maximedumoussaud9042]

It's really fun to watch and it's awesome for sure... but it's just one of these old lottery-type Aetherwork Marvel «combo» deck. Except the combo piece starts in your command zone and is a 3 potential wincon (mill/reanimator/plain old 6/6) in one package. So yeah, that might need a ban if it turns out it's too consistent

[@nvmffs]

@@maximedumoussaud9042 Even if it isn't too consistent Exodia-type decks shouldn't exist. Yes, a counterspell might beat it or a few other cards but does that make it ok? They'd rather have a ton of decks drop out of the meta just to have this buffoonery? WotC Devs should ask themselves if it's worth it.

[@francisjirons]

@@Kasamori that's not how bans work. You ban a card when it has no viable answers. They banned Field of the Dead in Standard because there is basically no way to interact with it, land destruction isn't really a thing. In comparison, in Commander by turn 6/7 your opponent has hit you with mass land destruction twice, so there is no point in banning Field there. There are plenty of answers to Gyruda in standard. Every single counterspell, Grafdigger's Cage, the Cerberus thing from Theros. Or you may simply drop T3feri on turn 3, and by turn 4 you let your opponent build a gigantic board, then you wrath at instant speed. The meta will find a way to deal with it.

[@Kasamori]

@@francisjirons My problem is not that there are no answers. My problem is that all decks dacide the game on turn 4. If I stop Gyruda with Hushbringer for example, I win. Technically not yet, but I will win. So what's the point of playing standard then? They should get rid of cards that let the game be decided instantly. If you counter them, again, the game is decided instantly. The point of a magic game should be to PLAY, not to WIN. I know, who wants to play when you can win.

[@paoloazzini9003]

Yesterday on arena i lost by mill from a temur version of this, they pulled ot gyruda+thassa+spark double with mirror march on the field... BRUTAL!

[@AquarialDeloAtlantis]

[@vitor9986]

[@spitfire4209]

[@managicality]
