CGB, I really love how the theoretical framework for the deck that you lay out in the intro (and heuristics in the end) is juxtaposed against the actual gameplay (connected by your brilliant segway "let the nonsense begin").

Geez, that one Mono White player really screwed up.. poor dude. That large amount of massive missplays cost him the game

[@csgonovac6400]

Oh yeah that Mono White dude could've won the game for sure if he didn't make all those huge mistakes. The Gruul player runs his Rimrock Knight into a 5/5 with 0 mana open and two guys just scooped in the first few rounds for no reason. Guess that's how you go 6-0. Why can't my opponents be like this?

[@silverdeathgamer2907]

@@csgonovac6400 It is pretty uncommon in europe for diamond and above but in mid or lower plat it is super common for opponents not to play against your outs. Rogues players tapping out against a boros cycling player when I had 4 mana up and a potentially lethal zenith flair happened pretty much constantly below plat 1 or players forgetting about keywords like reach.

[@ryanbolson23]

I don’t feel bad for him, he didn’t understand how lots of cards worked which makes me think he just looked up a deck with a high win ratio rather than researching and building one himself, and he was BMing with the good game spams and “your go”s.

[@juancruzpinero1294]

I'd try a little variation taking out possibly a copy of mammoth and an ooze may be even a giant killer, to add 2 or 3 shepherd of the flocks, against control decks (and monogreen creatures fighting your inkeeper), also helps replaying apparitions, angels, beasts, or Yasharn, even little spiders getting extra value (yeah, it's conditional, but there are many conditions where it'd be fine), and extra drawing cards with the innkeeper and the henge. I'd bet stability loss gets compensated by those sinergies, deffinetely looks great!

[@KayleJudicator]

I don't see how it's underrated, every deck playing green has it in his sideboard and bring it in against Rogue, the card is just super good against this mashup, not particularly good against others decks, so no it's not underrated, in what world do you live in.

[@redwins8840]

Hey CGB! I just wanted to point out how big your impact on the meta is - even on the EU server. I was laddering somewhere in the middle of platinum when every second of my opponents was suddlenly playing this green/white deck. After the third or fourth of them I decided to look up if I missed something. And there it was. Three hours ago - your video. Of course it could be that it was just me who queued up against lots of CGB viewers, but I'm quite sure there are other people noticing this too.

is innkeeper really worth it with only 8 adventure cards though?

[@chrisw8681]

Yes, it is. Eight cards to run a package seems to be a sweet spot. Just like he says for discard decks, don't go overboard with your theme. You need enough to support it, not get stuck on it. This deck runs three main packages; anti-rogues, landfall and the aforementioned adventure package. A minor theme of smacking control is in there, too. A change in the main groups would probably make it so the other packages were a lot weaker to their respective fight.

[@NamathCB]

No no, CGB YOU'RE THE COOL ONE. Those last couple were so fun

[@Moderndaycowboy74]

Why do I never get people to scoop like you do CGB? They always stick it out till the end

[@cpathfinder4214]

How do you get these cards? Do you just farm daily until you can use wildcards? I can never get rare wildcards.

[@AkiraEverheart]

Open packs. It's the only way. Get gold through daily challenges and if you're good enough spend that gold on standard challenges (win like 3 or 4 and you're refunded, past that is profit), then buy packs and open em. Buy packs that contain the rares/mythics you want then craft with the wildcards you get from opening packs

[@LM-rs1co]

You can get wildcards (of all rarities) by opening packs; as far as i know, it's the only way. More in detail: you are guaranteed to obtain a rare or mythic wildcard every 6 packs; in addition you can find them INSIDE the packs too (in which case they replace a card of the same tier).

[@AkiraEverheart]

Standard challenges are available all the time. Toggle on all play modes, hit play, scroll to the top and theres challenges you can spend gold to get into to win gold. You can do best of one or best of three (traditional).

Hey CGB! I wonder where I could send you a decklist for a monored deck I crafted after I saw your non aggro monored deck with Chandra. It is KINDA JANK (and you are pretty much out for blood these days) but when the win condition works... IT IS SATISFYING.

[@stevenshelton4807]

Sub on patreon is the only way to get him to check out your deck unless you win a tournament with it or get listed on esports for winning 6 matches straight without any changes made.

[@IxLuckyxI]

Interestingly enough I worked on a white/green yorion for some time. Never got over 50%. Sometimes the most ridiculous things happen and I lose a turn before winning. May I work the deck out with this inspiration

[@AkiraEverheart]

Todd is right. But also note this is meta sniping in this video. Gonna be a higher win rate than the deck usually would have. Plus cgb played well and his opponents didnt really for the most part. Add some scoops to that and boom, 100% WR

Rogues is good because it passively hits the deck while playing creatures and attacking. Oh and counterspell, card draw, and removal built into the passive mill. Passive mill that also buffs. Yeah.

[@ericz2389]

15:38 Beware of the Hendercleave!

[@Ggollly]

Controversial opinion here: Rogues are not actually that bad from a meta standpoint. They are not too overpowering. They just have a few things going for them. 1) They are relatively cheap deck to make, which means even budget players can make a good Rogues deck pretty quickly which makes them widespread and very common to see and play against. 2) They feel bad to play against because they have good aggro, good control, and a decent back up strategy of mill. They are not the best at any of these strategies, but the fact that they have all 3 available at the same time means they will have something that will annoy you and your deck.
