Is this THE MOST FUN Deck in Standard!? 💀🌳 | Standard Golgari

[@mikecy5507]

Good video, guys. I have always loved Golgari and I've been running a similar brew with some differences: no Trespasser or Preacher, 1 less duress, replace Cut Down with Disfigure (works surprisingly well for allowing your Mosswoods to trade into bigger stuff), only 1 Frillback, 25 lands, adding several Sentinel of the Nameless City and 2 Gix (crazy with Glissa), with 2 Virtue of Persistence and 3 Hostile Negotiators. In general I feel I don't have enough mana in most games, so I think 26 land is probably correct. So many possible tweaks to this deck, will we ever get a definitive "This is the best version!" ? I'm excited to try out your version and see how it fares - although I think I'm gonna stick with disfigure over cut down.

Heck yeah glad to hear others are on Golgari its probably my favorite color combination and true Gix is awesome I may have to switch it up with him, gotta love all that card draw lol

Seems like Bronco is trending over bat these days.

[@The_Cloudpost]

All for the right reasons, the snake horse is just more fun lol

[@1who4me]

I think bat is better in tempo dimir midrange.

@59:28 this block doesn’t make sense either. He needed to take the hit, maybe block the glissa with the snake horse

[@1who4me]

Don’t know why you took out frillback vs rakdos reanimate. Seems that would be an easy 4 mana to ruin his plans early on

[@The_Cloudpost]

We may have not thought about him being Reanimator necessarily, and thought he was just ramp but good call. Also great to hear from you Ben, hope you've been well! 💙

[@1who4me]

Isn’t the play to put mossknight on the creature side first then use his adventure side when he dies?

[@The_Cloudpost]

That very well could have been the better play 💙

[@mikecy5507]

Yes, I agree. I always play him as a creature on turn 2 to apply pressure, then use him to draw if he dies.

[@readingrainbow8112]

@58:37 why didn’t he swing? I think this is what lost him the game

[@AngryCrayon1775-qf2qt]

The first strike deathtouch is a tough choice to go against XD

[@The_Cloudpost]

True it was a strange block, maybe it was out of desperation?

[@AngryCrayon1775-qf2qt]

@@The_Cloudpost could have been. Or was just trying to keep blocks open as they probably felt like they didn’t have lethal

[@MrDarkBM]

No pillage?

[@The_Cloudpost]

Pillage is a fantastic card but works better in midrange to control matches, with all the card draw we have in the build we didn't want to take out any creatures for the pillage.
