@@Space_Potat still, it is very marginal and no one count the turns in mtg. But I believe it can be used for some cool mechanic, at least for some Un-set, like "you can cast creature spells only on even turns and non crea spells on odd turns"
30:37 correct sequence would be: play omnath, play passage, crack passage, get 2 omnath triggers and play cobra plus giant with the omnath mana. It’s pretty nutty with all the triggers though

A little before 8:30, you secretly came up with a great idea. ADVENTURE LANDS; they have an instant/sorcery ability or can be played as a normal land. Then played as a land after if they went on an adventure. Or just played as a land. GREAT THOUGHT. That flip land got me thinking haha
Love the video! But seriously how can wizards not be prepared for a new expansion AGAIN! Spend what is relatively a lot of money on pre-order and then cannot play on release day, so frustrating
@27:25 dude unsummons a creature that has an unsummon adventure in order to allow him to safely swing himself dead by no blockers, then plays a blocker to try and stay alive, knowing full well he just put an unsummon back into CGB’s hand. Only the biggest of brains here boys.
Took hours to finally get in. Finally got my deck ready to play, got my kids watching me. I play against this deck basically and like turn 4 or 5, they just go off... 15 min turns...... my daughter goes “I’m not having fun anymore”... me neither baby me neither... lol
Misplay at 30:30 You should play Omnath, draw1, play and sack fabled passage, add 4 mana, bonecrusher or cobra or cultivate. Incredible stuff though, CGB!
Good stuff man. Side note, Coolstuff is a great site, allowing you to build up points towards a percentage off singles.. I've been using them for a long time and glad to see support for streamers! Keep it up!
Kenrith works great in this deck. U have access to all the abilities, his trample and haste to all creatures one in particular is great. Lotus cobra can provide the black mana for the final ability.
"Shuffler is so fine right now!" I call it the "sorter" personally. It not only chooses your hand for you, but it also clumps cards together. That way, cheaters don´t need to practice shuffling to rig their deck, the game does it for them.
If you put a second Omnath with Ultimatum, along with other lands, the new Omnath will see those lands enter and trigger, regardless of which one you keep because of the Legend Rule. You could keep the old one and use it to attack, unless you're not putting enough lands with the Ultimatum and plan on continue to trigger the new Omnath after that.
"Hmmm, we can see the Temur ramp decks are running rampant in standard right now, what should we do about it?" -WoTC "Let's create cards to make that deck EVEN better and give only a SINGLE color the ability to handle it effectively." WoTC employee "Genius." - WoTC
I like that my deck is almost a clone of this. Running a 2nd borrower instead of 4th Ultimatum and Temples instead of Triomes. When it pops off it wins so fast
I suggest archon of emeria for anyone having trouble or tired of the landfall ramp decks. It single handedly shuts down all the ramp scute/omnath/ cobra decks. Shot from platinum t3 to numbered mythic in 4 hours today with a selesnya counter deck with a full playset of archon of emeria.
Polukranos killing the crab first doesn't necessarily mean the opponent has mill hate. It allows Polukranos to then attack and kill Omnath the next turn. Whereas if Omnath was attacked first, Polukranos would be 2/2 and not be able to then attack the crab. However, none of this matter cause the dude scooped. Awesome deck btw! Love seeing all of those triggers go off.
just ordered some cards for this deck from Coolstuffinc ... used your code! thanks so much for the inspiration - love playing this and the Ruin Crab is insane - for me it's been the MVP 100% - people will usually kill the crab over the cobra, which is epic
The petty theft on the borrower seems like a weird choice, but I had someone do the same thing to me a week ago (and it also led to their loss as well).
@@peterosborne8315 Oh, I agree Nissa is worse, but the cobra isn't legendary and comes down on turn 2... All I wanted was normal Mana for a short while.
@@elnatanbitensky8314 it does slow it down a ton though cos the big splashy plays won't keep building momentum. Unable to get to stuff like escape to the wild until turn 5 unless your really lucky is rough too.
Starting to think that the card that ends someone's turn would be great against that deck. Maybe. Also the 1 damage AOE for 2 with kicker. There is also an enchantment that bounces lands when they are ramped. That's pretty good, though not sure if that is a drawback or an advantage.
Is it coded correctly though? Lotus cobra triggers are mana abilities, they should not use the stack, hence you should not be able to respond to them. Am I missing something or is it simply in order to make the game experience smoother?
@@quinnmclaughlin2542 I did not bother to check gatherer, but you are right. I wonder if it is because it is worded as a 'may'. Oh well, I don't understand the reasoning entirely but I guess that's settled.
@@davidebella8831 given its a "whenever" ability, it's a triggered ability. the "may" part is likely because it was first printed right before mana burn ended.
I like to brew my own decks to deal with the meta, but these new Omnath/Uro variants are particularly obnoxious to try to build against. Try to go aggressive and kill them before they setup? Good luck getting past the Uro and Omnath lifegain. Remove their enablers (Lotus Cobra/Caryatid) with spot removal? This slows them, but it also waters down your core strategy. And all they have to do is resolve one or two big value spells to take over. My best option so far has been a mono black aggressive strategy which utilises discard and creature recursion to get ahead on board, with Gray Merchant as a finisher. Plus it has the nice bonus of being favoured against most decks that utilise mill against you (think U/B rogues, or anything with Crabs) HELP ME OUT GUYS, HOW DO WE BEAT THIS BUSTED DECK CONSISTENTLY??
So I've been playinh this deck a lot and im probably doing it wrong but I got about a 35% win rate and most of the time its due to mill. Is that how its supposed to work?
I feel like wizards fail to give us answers to landfall. The blue enchantment is not that great since it gives them other landfall triggers so it will be a heavy control meta to counter landfall featuring heavy removal. This sounds like the comeback of esper control.
That Fling at 11:00 to let him out of his misery was classy.
It'd be cool if the game had a turn marker.

Imagine this with Nissa and Wilderness Reclamation.
Reclam wasn't banned?
@@voidmaster6353 It was. I was just thinking of how busted it would be if it wasn't.
@@lucius6639 It still would have rotated
In pioneer it should work
Fantastic.
No
Also the fact that Fabled Passage sets off Omnath twice is sooo sweet!
This is magic as Garfield intended.
100% busted? Are you referring to this deck, or the MTGA client and servers?
Purple
This is one of the most interesting decks you've ever played with.
You got the thumbs up right when you said "...you find my smug, punchable face too much." Perfect timing.
Those stomped cobras got some "Don't tread on me" feeling
CarlosFernii What do you mean?
@@heycidskyja4668 it's a flag talking about protecting of rights.

If those cobra had a gun, it would never be stomped by giant
How long until mana burn is re-implemented as a balance measure?
I’ve been hoping for it to return for years!
New ban comes at rotation I think uro and omnath maybe even cobra going to be on the list
Looking this while I wait for the servers to calm down so I can play, too. What a time to be alive

Lotus cobra turns fabled passage into an arguably better black lotus, and turns evolving wilds into two lotus petals with big upside.
back when lotus cobra was first in standard we had misty rainforest and verdant catacombs etc.

Saw this last night. Powerful deck in effect here. Great day of playing CGB.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your RUclips fans still love you CGB. Be true to your roots 👍
It was really good to see the sincere CGB again today in the intro.
Nice!
Haven't seen you in my feed for awhile.

This deck is fun. Wasn't going to craft anything day one, but now I have 4 Omnath.
Can't wait for Return to Return to Return to Zendikar for WUBRG Omnath. Then I can finally make a tribal Omnath EDH deck
Kenrith works great in this deck. U have access to all the abilities, his trample and haste to all creatures one in particular is great. Lotus cobra can provide the black mana for the final ability.
Audio sounds a little off to me kinda like its two layers or maybe its just the room. Either way no biggie just figured it might be worth mentioning

Just beat a Kroxa sacrifice in the most epic way possible with this deck...milled them to death. This will hands down be my favorite deck for a while.
What were the changes made to the deck to make the fling kill an option? I'm going to try it out lol.

Coming back to magic arena again, and finding the spiceboi is in full force still. Life is good, never stop my man. You're a beauty !
Hi, do you have a Gruul deck for the new set? Brushfire Elemental looks good especially when combined with a hatchet for one mana in green
its cool to play such decks once in a while imo cool dood
No caps lock. No weapons. Just gratitude for another fun video!
You're awesome CGB, loved your release coverage
Stomp the Snake is the new Bolt the Bird
Hi there! Now that Uro is banned from standard, what would you recommend to change from this deck?
34:58 Can't find this person on YT... so she is called Ash Sizzle??
Might be a twitch only streamer.
Looking forward to UW control and/or jeskai control

You had me at Omnath+Crab😂
woah! epic video - crazy new cards
Oh boy, can't wait for standard. This power level seems really nice and not busted at all... Until we finally got rid of Nissa, we get lotus cobra...

Epic content dude. Thanks for making it entertaining

11:06 I always wanted to watch a match against Sandoiche. He is one of the best players in Brazil!
Deck's mana curve is giving us the finger
How should you play Game 1 on the table ......
I had a 2h winningstreak from Diamant tier 4 to almpst tier 1 with this deck!
Went mythic today :D

Hi Cgb, i have a black screen since update i can t play i dont know what can i do for solve this problem. Do you have an idea ? Thx

Any time!
the new standard is going to be sooo healthy and fun.
