Krenko wants you to pay 1 red when you sac an artifact to make a goblin, crime novelist is a goblin that makes one red when you sac an artifact. Coincidence? I THINK NOT
Your renewed excitement about Standard actually got me to reinstall MTG:A a couple of days ago. Now I'm having fun with a blue/white control mill deck. :)
I've been playing a lot of anvil. My favorite may be the vat reanimation varient but thetes no doubt that this sort of midrange shell is the most powerful.
Not sure if this is mentioned or comes up anywhere, but Krenko's token generation ability doesn't care who controlled the artifact, so it's really good in the mirror. If you're an Anvil gamer facings lots of Anvils, might be worth craftin' for that reason.
Of course there are tons of cool decks that annihilate all of the current aggro decks, but then we just get farmed by UW and Esper control. Currently there barely is a solid middle ground between heavy spam control and heavy mindless aggro.
I've only been playing limited and watching limited content for the past few months, but I still watch your standard videos to keep up with what's going on. Appreciate the content.
As a fledgling free to player Anvil was one of my first ranked decks that I made because of how cheap it was. Anvil has has a place in my heart ever since and I will heed this call to arms and bring Anvil to the ladder once again.
i've been an advocate for anvil since it came out, and as a cat oven jund/rakdos vet...honestly anvil is so much different from cat oven like theres so many different layers to oven where as anvil is like lawl surprise i hurt you i get life i get many creatures!
Grinder players: You will be made to think! Gas peddle sideways will no longer be meta! Red players: REEEEEEEE! Why are you not dying fast like you're supposed to!?
Holding up the anvil activation until the opponents turn represents two extra points of damage with the Thran due to his “triggers once per turn” clause. That would be four extra points of damage in game one.
Okay, but like, why does everyone hate mono red aggro? I win against them 9/10. I usually have to be screwed over by the shuffler to lose to them. Why is everyone making decks against them? Why is no one making decks against White/Blue control? I have never once won against them and I only seem to go against them. No hate to Covert by any means, I'm just ranting as I'm hard locked out of Diamond (literally by like 1 or 2 wins) right now because of freaking control.
Look I play anvil but I always get control decks playing board wipes that hit my artifact tokens so it tends to not be worth it, lol. But hey maybe my list is bad, I'll try this
CGB : "Red players hate math" Frank Karsten : "You sure about that ?" (seriously tho so many red players are math people (me included I'm a math teacher and a proud burn player))
5:07 This is one of the things that bothers me about current Standard. The difference between going first or second is MASSIVE with these turn 4 kill aggro decks running amok. I wish WotC would change it up somehow. Maybe if you go 2nd you can choose to either draw or a card or not draw a card and play 2 lands. Idk. All I know is going 2nd there are some games/matchups that become completely unplayable.
I'd be in favor of giving the person who goes second a free treasure token (or maybe an equivalent token that only creates a color of mana from lands you control). Doesn't ramp you permanently but that one extra mana at a critical moment could be huge.
best of 1 isn't traditional magic and never will be, so they dont really care about the disadvantage of going second. bc in best of three it's less relevant.
yesterday out of 7 matches in a row i was matched 2x v mono red, 4x v boros tokens, 1x selensya enchants. thanks for providing a solution to all the n00b plebs who only know how to play red 😂😂
Calling aggro dead is hilarious ( and you know it) bring this to historic and my grape shot decl will beat it turn 3 lol. Obviously this is Standard, but it is WAAAAY to frail for the version of Golgari ramp i play. Rakdos is my favorite of all time, but its honestly weak on arena.

Long live Cult of Rakdos! 🤟
RAK EM UP
They can sack this....
All hail Lord Rakdos!
RAK 'N RUIN!
Bow to the mighty anvil!
@covertgoblue I sincerely hope that you never abandon this work. It's really amazing and I also like making the Mored/Boros players ragequit!
"Cool deck ill build it."
Proceed to lose to every aggro deck.....
and every control
I love a good anvil deck. It’s been one of my favorite cards for years now.
Years, decades even!
Damn, NEO really has been out for 2 years. Feels like yesterday!
Krenko wants you to pay 1 red when you sac an artifact to make a goblin, crime novelist is a goblin that makes one red when you sac an artifact. Coincidence? I THINK NOT
Yeah I'm not playing a 3 mana 1/3 in my constructed deck no thanks
@@TauntedSymboljust went up against it bro doesn't stay 1/3 at all
Glad to see an anvil deck, love sacrifice decks in general but anvil just feels satisfying. Miss meathook so badly though.
Aggro cannot withstand! CGB is the Hero we need but don’t deserve
Haha "Help me help you!!" Thank your Jerry!!
Your renewed excitement about Standard actually got me to reinstall MTG:A a couple of days ago. Now I'm having fun with a blue/white control mill deck. :)
Glad you are having fun!

Absolute banger deck, not tons of new stuff but what can you do when standard rotation is 3 years ( I cry )
Boros is like.. umm - wait - it's supposed to go recruiter > dead, not recruiter > think
It actually went Recruiter > dead. Except the dead part doesn't really specify who dies.
@lamjeri that's a fair point - through having the "Boros is like" part in there kind of specifies who is supposed to die 😀
CovertGoBlue playing Rakdos? I click.
3rd Opponent that played with the humans deck is a RUclipsr, Hand of Justice, has a cool channel.
Aggro player🫠
Gotta love the shuffler at 4:04
The odds of you hitting all 4 Bloodtithe Harvesters in 8 cards is ~0.01%. Close to 1 in 10,000 odds, congrats!
I can see poor little boros brain BREAKING hahaha
I needed a good Rakdos pile, thank you for your service
Hey CGB, I just watched Jim Davis do a “bat heist” It was seriously compelling content. I’d love to see your take on it. 😊
Thanks for the deck!! Slow but effective!!! I love!!!!
i literally played this deck today
i love anvil
COVERRRTT, I would love to see a brawl featuring that 3/3 whenever a haste crature attacks create a tapped treasure token.
the way you ended the first game was one of the smartest plays I've ever seen and I've made it to rank 500 a few times.
I've been playing Ojer, Anvil for awhile now. I'll have to give this take on anvil for a spin
you have my gracious admiration, Daniel
i've been an advocate for anvil since it came out, and as a cat oven jund/rakdos vet...honestly anvil is so much different from cat oven like theres so many different layers to oven where as anvil is like lawl surprise i hurt you i get life i get many creatures!
35:40 made me happy lol
Rack em’ sack em’ RAKDOS!
Grinder players: You will be made to think! Gas peddle sideways will no longer be meta!
Red players: REEEEEEEE! Why are you not dying fast like you're supposed to!?
So many lines of play! BOOM!
What would you think of 1 or 2 copies of Mycosynth Gardens in this? Getting to copy an anvil seems pretty sweet to me.
Ashlizzle made a pretty sweet anvil deck featuring the new blue black drake
Blue red isn't it?..
Someone has been spending too much time hanging out with Ashlizzle...
Massacre Girl could do some damage here, card draw and the forges tokens would make blocking a pain
You should make a Voja deck next! She's so cool!
I might start playing standard to play this deck. Super cool
Thanks CGB
wouldn't gleeful demolition be a good combo with krenko? pumping all of the goblins you get from the demo could be gas
I was just thinking this exact thing
Holding up the anvil activation until the opponents turn represents two extra points of damage with the Thran due to his “triggers once per turn” clause. That would be four extra points of damage in game one.
Yes, but then the anvil doesn’t create a new 1/1 because that part only triggers on your turn.
I need a deck that can easily beat the turn 4 breech deck I keep running into
Vraan is a lot of fun to use when playing four
how to never lose to control? i know - no questions...
play mono red
i have seen plenty of monored loosing to control ;) especially now that temporary lockdowns are in the main@@WitnessedOne
question does it beat Dimir Breech
no questions
I would super happy to help. Could you please go through the lines you are thinking about more.
What about using bloodletter or vein ripper instead of sheoldred
Just crafted this deck and im currently 0-9, it seems like if one thing goes wrong the whole deck completely falls apart
that was a fun video!!
loved the video and the sadistic 2 fist minutes
Blackcleave Cliffs enter untapped - play the black/red until arena gets their sh1t sorted...
Okay, but like, why does everyone hate mono red aggro? I win against them 9/10. I usually have to be screwed over by the shuffler to lose to them. Why is everyone making decks against them?

No hate to Covert by any means, I'm just ranting as I'm hard locked out of Diamond (literally by like 1 or 2 wins) right now because of freaking control.
Really depends on what you're running. Each deck has their good and bad match ups.
@@chrishermans I've made everything from meta decks and then some. Lifegain, aggro, big stompys, destruction, etc. Nothing works
I see Anvil - I click Like!
Look I play anvil but I always get control decks playing board wipes that hit my artifact tokens so it tends to not be worth it, lol. But hey maybe my list is bad, I'll try this
Why not to play both Krenkos?
Ha jokes on you CGB. I play alchemy where mono red is strong. :P
I am entertained 🤘🏽
If I had a choice, i'd rather all non-creature players left the game and never returned.
I agree 100% 👍🏻
Why?
I think all players are non-creatures. Otherwise stuff like Go for the Throat would be broken.
CGB : "Red players hate math"
Frank Karsten : "You sure about that ?"
(seriously tho so many red players are math people (me included I'm a math teacher and a proud burn player))
This may be true, but there are just as many, if not more who are like, "is their life 0 yet? no? hit face."
The death of any deck that wants to end the game before it even starts is music to my ears. Get 'em!
CovertGoJerryMaguire!
Somebody is finally rejoining MTG after years away to recover from Rakdos/Esper fatigue. 10 seconds into game one they're gone for good 😂
I think it's time for some control. It's so rewarding watching aggro in pain. CGB, any color combination of your choosing is acceptable.
Try Krenko + Soul Cauldron

Yeah that's basically what hearthstone does and it feels way better.@@petr4150
best of 1 isn't traditional magic and never will be, so they dont really care about the disadvantage of going second. bc in best of three it's less relevant.
"so cute when they try to use the brain" :)
I've got one question....
As a casual player, I don't think I need that much thinking. lol
Magic needs more math
Game 1, why not return a blood token opponent? You keep your angel...
I don't think I've ever wanted any material possession on earth less than I want that CGB playmat
Love me some Anvil
Which rihanna song?
disturbia, always
I wish it was possible to sue RUclipsrs based on false promises contained in Clickbait Titles... 😂😂😂
Cat + Oven ❤
Tbh. I think they Alergic to Thinking lol.
25:30 Why didn't you block with a 1/1 goblin to get the vraan trigger?
Anvil Love⚒❤🔥
Cat did nothing wrong.
You have my gracious admiration!
LoL and anvil makes them do math... And they hate math. Freaking lovely.
100% wr against boros convoke omg!!!
Rack doe's wins up! Questions are overrated. There are two answers though. 1. Yes because Dad jokes are win. 2. Farming aggro is fun.
cool
If more people play anvil in standard all the boros and mono red players will play alchemy. 😭😭
Im helping you help me get mono red out of arena 😊
Watching a boros player try to make decisions really tests my sociopathy.
No. We want more players, not less.
Vein ripper 👀...
yesterday out of 7 matches in a row i was matched 2x v mono red, 4x v boros tokens, 1x selensya enchants. thanks for providing a solution to all the n00b plebs who only know how to play red 😂😂
Now many anti-agro movements are starting to emerge...this is a good thing 😌😎
Day 46 of asking for Covert Go Beard
Brain herts
Calling aggro dead is hilarious ( and you know it) bring this to historic and my grape shot decl will beat it turn 3 lol. Obviously this is Standard, but it is WAAAAY to frail for the version of Golgari ramp i play. Rakdos is my favorite of all time, but its honestly weak on arena.
CGBeeeeeeee and weeeeed
