It's both simultaneously the greatest feeling and it also fills you with revulsion lol.

[@tobiashaffling6906]

The mono-red player thought Goddric stayed a dragon, seen by him reading it several times after it lost flying. Which leads me to think they have never failed to have Goddric be a dragon/the game lasting long enough for them to notice him not being one

Warleader's Call is crazy good, and for 3 mana... WOW!

[@TheGreater-Golem]

They combined impact tremors, a 2 mana card, and glorious anthem, a 3 mana card into a single card, for only 3 mana! Absolutely absurd.

[@markjohnson406]

I am trying this with Anim Pakal because the gnomes are artifacts for Gleeful Demolition and it pops out a bunch of creatures at once for the Warleader's Call. Excellent deck here

[@CRAETION_]

You could easily replace the Sanguine Evangelist for Anim Pakal

[@georgejames2038]

I run it in my version of this deck but your hand can sometimes feel too slow setting up the board. I have a couple of copies of Skrelv's Hive and Songs of Totentanz to try and get value from tokens pinging damage.

[@dracosfire7247]

@@CRAETION_ The problem there is you create a weakness for single target removal, the Evangelist is at worst 2 1/1 fliers for 3 mana. Anim is, at worst, a 3 mana target for Cut Down.

I personally run one less gleeful and run two Delney, street wise. Her additional triggers boost token creation and the unblockable is nice for getting through with smaller creatures

[@brunokbelo3248]

I can't understand why wizzards makes this game even and even faster. Wasn't mono red enough?

[@mostlyholy6301]

It is because they stupidly got rid of rotation, so to sell new cards they have to push them further than the existing cards (that would otherwise have rotated out). It is the same reason eternal formats get worse and worse over time.

[@xLegendaryPete]

this deck doesnt use Mono red cards, so its cool that an aggro deck that isnt mono red can smash fast

[@Tetsuo01]

[@benjaminhenry7593]

Its cause sheoldred has been the best card in game for awhile now and they have to make stuff that at least tries to compete with her

[@SpyX9LP]

This is why I think so too, I'm hoping the aggro meta put sheoldred a couple notches down.

[@taniashakinovsky1833]

Hey CGB, I’ve been following you for a good while now and enjoy both your content and your style. Your decks are so much fun to play, and have gotten me up the ladder many times. I’m more a lurker than a commenter but this desk deserves much much applause. So. Much. Fun. Ive addded Anim Makal for extra oomph on the warleaders call and replaced stoke with lightning helix. yet to see how that works out as the deck is so fast i haven’t needed it. 8 out 0f 10 scoop and the ones that don’t, fall in outraged astonishment, even Etali grayeyard returners. Thank you so much! Loving your work sir 🎉🎉

[@Vansetsu]

looks like I made it into the highlight reel, GGs - Also, mono green WILL rise again!

[@patrickwoodlands4086]

I'm running this deck with a 1 of skrelv (helps with gleeful demolition target) as well as anim pakal. No recruiter or knight errant, but with 4 lightning helix as well. Helix helps with that crucial removal and also just gives the deck more reach with going face. Also been running 4 kumano, deck still performs well.

[@cinosaurus]

"some people come not to play magic, just to be done with games of magic" love this!

[@Kavou]

New Krenko with Demolition works very nicely!

[@l33tminion]

I can't resist trying to fit Ojer Axonil into this deck. It loves Warleader's Call so so much. (A fully-convoked Knight Errant of Eos can fetch it, Stoke the Flames can be big and cheap enough to get it back.)

[@M726G6]

Same, it somehow doesn't really work yet for me though. Tell me if you find the right approach.

[@samuelfreilich2941]

@@M726G6 I don't know if it's optimal compared to other approaches to this deck, I expect not. It's much more vulnerable to instant-speed spot removal, either on the Ojer or the Call. But if you want to do it that way (it is fun!), cut stuff that doesn't help with that plan (Evangelist, Recruiter, Bunnicorn, maybe Warden) and be willing to wait a turn to play the Ojer when you have follow-up. Having Warleader's Call in the opener is a _big_ advantage, bigger when you're pruning Warden which can otherwise help dig for it. I run Anim Pakal, and sometimes that's a better turn four play after Call than Ojer (if opponent can't deal with it, the follow-up Ojer + two gnomes is very likely to kill them, and if they can deal with it, it's eaten removal that could otherwise take out Ojer).

[@GlobeofBeauty]

Feel like damage is too creature based. Sometimes you get lucky with multi warcaller but not often enough. I been trying delney, streetwise, taking out bunnicorn and one gleeful. She helps get creatures through and create more tokens!

[@kennethrawson3005]

Having built this and played a couple dozen games I'm amazed by how often, with only 6 basic lands, I get an opening hand with either 2 mountains, or 2 plains, and 5 cards of the opposite color. Also 3 games in the MTGA algorithm discovered U/W control with Doorkeeper Thrull, and then that's all I played against.

[@voin3186]

I had the same issue. Makes me want to quit arena and play paper magic exclusively. Plus I can choose not to play against people who play the cheese decks.

[@killerpawn]

Any game in the stream that you runback to win (or almost win) when the opponent boardwipes the boros weenies with this deck?

[@ski9019]

Generally that's not going to happen, unless you're playing around the sweeper. You have to know what you're playing against and be willing to play for later giving up the advantages a deck like this gives. It's mono red with extra steps.

[@metalhev3989]

[@michaeltell9905]

15 minutes in and I believe in this deck. I'm new but it seems very consistent.

[@itzmasterz]

Warleader’s call acting as both an anthem and an impact tremors all in one means that taking damage instead of blocking can also kill you. A deck that runs board wipes and some enchantment removal could be nice but at least in best of one they’re very slow. Sometimes you just have to hope that you draw what you need and the boros player isn’t popping off enough for you to board wipe.

[@gamekeeper777]

My build is using Charming Scoundrel instead of the Sanguine Evangelist, less power but better chance of the Gleeful demolition and a turn earlier scry or convoke(by sac treasure for another creature).

[@PerformingNerd]

Pretty sure the "Oops all bats" game at 22:44 was trying Nile's Bat Heist Challenge. It was an easy win.

I wonder how this deck would work as a Mardu deck with a couple more lifegain synergies in Bo3.

[@GlobeofBeauty]

I personally take out the bunnicorn and one gleeful and put in two Delney, streetwise. Her additional trigger ability can build more tokens and make your little minions unblockable to some creatures, allowing more penetration

[@georgesillibourne4472]

Doesn't come in tapped if you have two or fewer lands, allows you to choose a colour land you need for turns 1 and 2.

[@MrBe56]

Stay till the end to find out!

[@Nick-ch8cf]

Is there any consideration for Delney in this deck ? Also I don’t understand warden because u trade tempo for counters, and then it gets instant speed removed anyways

[@veeclash4157]

Delney is kind of too slow for the Boros deck. The point is to end the game by turn 3. Delney doesn't trigger any of the boros stuff by entering play and is much more powerful in Orhzov life gain for instance. If you've ever pulled off Delney + Cavern Bats, it feels amazing and evil to YOINK TWO of your opponent's best cards!

[@maaikevreugdemaker9210]

Warden let's you fix your draw, mostly using artifacts you don't need, building up to evasiveness. That's why and only why it should be used. The land base sucks, so that's why it's key.

Yup this deck is pretty obscene. It has a nut draw curve that puts 8 power toughness on the board on turn 2 - inspector T1 followed by gleeful demolition + Knight. Pretty dumb stuff. The arrival of turn 1 inspector just added a ton of consistency to gleeful demolition. The 3 mana anthem that makes creatures entering the battlefield ping for damage is just silly power creep as well.
