[@westonwillard2698]

The real reason we like mono red is because we dont have enough wildcards for any other deck.

[@IdentifiantE.S]

That’s true 😅

[@pointyheadYT]

If you're short on wildcards, you could also try mono-blue tempo. It performs much better in platinum and above compared to mono-red in my experience. The only rares being either the djinn or the shark.

[@Fox55]

That's a fact

[@Ryarat]

​​@@pointyheadYTut then you're playing mono blue and no one is having fun.

[@Rythmicrythyn]

​@@Ryarat I'd rather play a game with interaction over "haha I play card turn sideways I win"

[@uiop60]

That game grinding past Sheoldred was amazing.

[@Asian_Caleb]

A weaker man would’ve scooped lol

[@WhyMe432532]

Yeah but the opponent played very poorly. Gotta attack with Sheoldred if you have Plaza to protect it.

[@gl9825]

CGB loses to mono-r: "They only won because they were on the play with Kumano. No skill." CGB wins on the play with Kumano: "Look at my awesome brew. I won because of my choices and skill."

[@Justadadonthetok]

I'd like to think he understands the irony of his own comments, but something off putting about him is his sort of sense of arrogance and elitism. Again, I'd like to give him some credit to think he's self aware that he's making this type of commentary.

[@Justadadonthetok]

The hilarious thing about this too is that this type of commentary is super common in any kind of competitive pvp type environment. Used to watch a lot of destiny pvp streams and the top guys would complain all stream about the enemy team using a "cheesy " or "unoriginal" load out and winning when they do it it's unique, big brain, top plays lol.

[@KroyX]

Ridiculous when a player thinks winning/losing a match isn't for the greater part based on matchup, deck strength and draw luck. Skill is secondary mostly.

[@metalhev3989]

I think by this point everyone knows red aggro on the play with t1 kumano is a forced win.

[@Neiros2]

This isn't just CGB though. This is like every player in the history of MTG. Almost everyone thinks that any strategy their opponent uses is scummy and cheap while it is big brain 5D chess if they use it themselves. I'll be the first to admit, I get caught up in the same thought process when playing.

[@_____kb]

CGB playing mono red is like watching his evil twin

[@LordZurkov]

Obvious Go Red

[@Silent_Pyro]

Im going to say this. I have grown to love control but i always need more wildcards for them. Every time CGB makes a new mono red video its always easy to craft the deck because its usually uncommon/common wildcards i need to use.

[@slothgaming7999]

How? I literally spend no money on this game, and I have 60,000 coins... i have like 20 rare wild cards, 12 mythic, 1000-1500 of commons uncommons. And I usually break top 1500 every month. I WILL NEVER PLAY MONO RED!!!

[@kadedoud6817]

Could idk, do the other enjoyable part of magic and make your own deck?

[@mikeyj.philly]

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world that Magic is a game of skill.

[@goldenpony822]

Lol wtf

[@Xgya2000]

Man's an absolute menace. Faced Sheoldred on curve as mono red, and chose to keep his head high and keep the fight going.

[@jonathanp5125]

I love how at the end of each game, CGB has the impulse to count how many extra cards he drew 😂

[@metalhev3989]

"You can draw just as many cards in an aggro deck as you can in a blue/white control deck." This sentence fills me with so much revulsion that I literally felt my face contort in utter disgust.

[@metalhev3989]

@@rodrickjones4212 long story short, that means control decks and, to a lesser extent, midrange decks, are useless. The game just becomes "play creature, attack" on both sides.

[@TheNaturalnuke]

I basically play this but with all the reckless impulses replaced with Bloodthirsty Betrayal. Stealing a sheoldred for lethal has become my past time

[@gamingking1]

Incredible finale! I love your spin on mono red.

[@thenatergamer]

Early Monday upload? Love to see it, great start to the week 😎

[@gyrasolune5436]

The trick to mono-red is to play the kind of decks where you draw a ton of cards and physically throw them at your opponent's face until they give up

[@brandao.rafael]

The last game was unbelivable. You really are the 1 in BO1

[@mariand.1087]

The first version of this deck that CGB made (with 20 lands and 3 Squess) is still my best performing deck in BO1, currently sitting at 65% win rate. This one has less lands, less Squees and even more card draw, so you can never go wrong.

[@joshuaedelstein8017]

I believe the first player on poison could have missed lethal if they had one spell that could target their board in hand.They could march for one of CGB's attackers and two of their own guys to go from 4 to 6 poison, then the crack back gets to 9, then they would just need their last card to be some sort of targeting spell to win.

[@anthonyellison5998]

Opponent at 5:00 should have marched two of their things and one of cgb’s. With that they go to 2 and poison is at 6. Anything that targets off the top is then lethal where as the play they made, march 3 opponent creatures, isn’t enough to save them for 2 turns. They just didn’t go for their only out which is no land+play with fire. If they were holding a blue spell with march, they also just screwed up since they had lethal, march 3 creatures of theirs+2 opponents stuff, 7 poison plus 3 from swing gg. CGB made them have it and they couldn’t keep their cool. Tunnel vision against mono red where you focus on your life total more then lethal attacks is pretty big

[@bdhampster]

Watching mono-red play mono-red cured my insomnia. But at least there was card draw(ish).

[@50yrOldTennisImprover]

Man, this deck is so much fun. Best part, it adds just a bit of thinking, I feel (almost) like a real player!

[@L00katThePFPic]

That's literally the mono-red I built. Took me to myhtic very quickly. I never seen it as a card advantage deck. I just go aggro with anger pumping provoke.

[@brianarsuaga5008]

red aggro is so simplistic that it usually feels like every single card may as well be a Shock.

[@LordZurkov]

Honestly, even in that case it is a matter of skill to know when to burn/trade for blockers. I love how even the most braindead deck still has interesting choices with a decent skill ceiling.

[@danlewis7707]

Content like this really draws me in. I just don't like games that are too long and drawn out. Top decking Thundering Raiju is not the way I draw it up. My plans have designs upon greater aspirations writ upon the clouds and drawn from dreams. Like the Junctions of old, I must be drawn from my defeated opponent, and don't forget to steal! Draw.

[@freyamiles3718]

Ah if anyone can bend mono read over and change it to a card advantage archetype it's CGB

[@andreas629]

Although I don’t have fun playing monored (with few exceptions),I use it to get to mythic fast and then play my favourite control decks.

[@murilotomy5418]

I love the charecter of CGB playing red 😂

[@TcpIpNut]

That's a fun deck. I won all five best of 3 matches (no sideboarding). Only one match went to 3 games. Thanks!

[@pst5345]

no matter the deck, cgb is always... on the draw

[@50yrOldTennisImprover]

This is my favorite video series. I request more counter-intuitive decks, please.

[@AzazelReborn81]

CGB walking through the dark side.

[@jerryli5879]

CGB found gas in mono red, well done

[@magnusbevaart2477]

That last match is why I run Nahiri's Resolve but you still won

[@marekjurcik]

THANKS for the brew and for being you!-)

[@marekjurcik]

What an EPIC last game, CGB! Beating Shelly on the board for so many rounds with monored.. priceless:)

[@rurounikreep]

love your content cgb, keep it up buddy.

[@henrygandelman]

Betting that CGB decks himself before the video ends

[@bobocaruso]

The introduction had me put a like

[@creationcreatormike]

After trying this out myself I understand why some people rage quit after seeing it. If you aren't able to do enough damage early you just loose without card draw. But with the card draw it makes much better.

[@tcmatias]

CGB piloting M-Red is something 😂

[@wjjajshshdbdnnsndhbauhwhshs]

no views, three comments, and one like? thanks KZbin

[@aintdanyet]

That intro is such a nice moment emotional growth. A lot of things start to make sense when you realize that it's all a matter of taste, with taste meaning whatever feels right for them.

[@Eli_Nelson_Music]

Some other really solid picks for this type of deck are khenra spellspear and chandra dressed to kill. Splashable honorable mention pia nalaar consul of revival

[@MineRoyale.]

both of those cards are unplayable (as are many of the cards in this deck)

[@ciaran.downey]

CGB only looks like he’s having fun when he’s playing mono red

[@drillmachine7]

This is mono red CGB plays mono red...

[@jadeakisses]

Nothing like hate-watching just bc 1. it’s CGB, and 2. I never miss a video 😂

[@bryantkapono420]

I think the amount you could draw with this deck is somewhere around 169,420

[@thegamingweeaboo6288]

I'd love to see a boros version of this deck with Pia from aftermath. I think theres enough exile cards for it to be good

[@EclipseShadowScale]

poision reddit mage should have phased your two kumonos, exiled a card from hand, and phased all three of their critters. woulda survived and applied 3 poision to swing 3 and get 1 from any targeting effect... they either had no blue card in hand, or were just bad.

[@pointyheadYT]

If you enjoy torturing other mono-red players, I suggest going boros and adding a set of angelfire ignitions to your usual mono-red aggro deck. The fixing is a bit of a problem, but worth a try. Nothing beats seeing your opponent insta-scoop, right after turning your Feldon into a 5/5 lifelink trampler on turn3. 🤗

[@emyron1843]

19:50 misses lethal by one damage just draw an extra card, I respect it (not that mattered, opp saw the writing on the walls any way)

[@daniellee8162]

And he is attack?! Thats just someone who cant resist. Well, cant be surprised, it's a red player...

[@정하은-h6s]

CGB plays mono red he plays mono red!

[@beaudge1]

CovertGoRed! Love it lol

[@t-dogn6171]

Thanks CGB

[@philippnovo3350]

thx CGB for putting more mono red into the meta..... -.-

[@ppmagic9841]

You were supposed to fight red , NOT JOIN IT !

[@fuzbuzz00]

Last game against esper legends was so tense

[@Kleshumara]

When I try to play slow midrange I get destroyed by greedier control or combo decks, I get annoyed and load up mono red and destroy those slower decks. The circle of life…

[@greenguy1408]

preach brother preach!

[@lucasturner1872]

Awesome video

[@euphoriagaming9861]

CGB w servers down. Couldn’t have a better start to my morning

[@oDMACo]

To be fair, red isn't just about punching people in the face. It's about taking game actions immediately in the current turn. So anything like drawing or exile spells and dealing damage are all available to red but it all must resolve within the current turn. Hence wrenns resolve, capricious hellraiser and chandra

[@Forever_Soul]

Mono red ends game quick that's why i like playing 😂😂😂

[@parazightsporch2523]

nothing finishes dailies faster than mono red.

[@1001ant1001]

Yup, not so secret red player you are😜🔥🔥🔥

[@jadeakisses]

I also find it funny this is the mono red deck I play against more times than not… I swear all they do is draw and burn 🙃

[@vitortakara7090]

0:50 a yes the blue color identity that boils down to just being good at a card game disgusting

[@yomiyoo]

Cgb really loves mono red.. change my mind

[@mandielyn0416]

You’re playing mono red wrong! Your not supposed to think!

[@maxmcmaster]

15 is right, but you might count the one card from ertai you draw..

[@dink6423]

I like playing against mono red because I know its a free win or lose to their exodia hand. If I see blue mana turn one on the other hand I immediately know im not gonna have fun regardless if I win or not

[@alainroger-r8b]

WoahhhT? no Red planeswalkers? :)

[@wallancorrea]

Agora o seu mono red tá mais parecido com o meu kkkkkkkkk. Eu prefiro essa versão à que está no Goldfish como versão do metagame. 😀👍

[@willkur8989]

CGB plays red, what a traitor !

[@overbet36]

96 in the dark

[@kingofcharisma7569]

The legends games were great.

[@joep5454]

What is meant by a reddit deck at 3:03?

[@oreszteszmurgacs7689]

You monster.

[@ckfacebook62]

I play card advantage with all colors!

[@francoisgrobler6584]

5 cards drawn?

[@Rjkskywalker18]

I feel like CGB is trying to make a point but I'm not sure what it is..... 😅

[@JeanLouisGeray]

I play mono red because i know if i'll win or lose early in the game

[@s8w5]

The last game was cheating - regarding the card drawing: You got one card off Ertai.

[@volkfidde4269]

Here also drawing without drawing was important or Sheoldred would have soloed the deck.

[@hjge1012]

Only bad guys play mono red.

[@T-Stokes]

Early upload, nice!

[@Fenix31799]

Oh man, that last match was *so satisfying* 👌

[@liquid_1k]

mono red needs vapor snag :)

[@GlennHananavi-nh2yn]

I’m in diamond 4 but I don’t have the cards to make a better deck to get past this rank :( Played mtg since 1995 ( not continuously)

[@akumamatataaa]

[@headlessfool7050]

nice :D !

[@PoKeMaaDness00]

🔥🔥🔥

[@CookieOutaSight]

Nice

[@Randoman590]

Why does he say"screw Reddit decks"? Which subreddit(s) is he referring to? And is he saying they're bad builds, or just annoying, or what?

[@nijian32]

Mono-red?! EWWW! Shame....But I'll check it out anyways, cuz in CGB I trust.

[@pointyheadYT]

I really like blazing crescendo as a card in general, not so much in current standard. It just feels so bad having to pump your opponents creatures whenever you're on the losing end. Waaaay too much cheap instant spot removal in the format that could get you. There's also better ways to use 2mana in mono-red to be honest.

[@ericlundquist3466]

Nice deck. Made this deck and the game is stupid easy. By turn 3 they pretty much are dead. Mono red is really a I win button and if wotc wants to ruin their game I'll join them in their folly

[@maxmcmaster]

i say 21..
