@@sethc.1366 She's not actually an artifact, so you'd need to arms race encroaching mycosynth in before you could do Atraxa, and at that point it's probably easier to just use treasure tokens.
You can cast Atraxa from Rakdos, and reliably cast Invoke Despair on 5 in Grixis. The mana base and mana cheat cards have nearly erased color restrictions.
for what thats worth of course - unless MOM has pretty insane mana cheat or really busted lands, a lot of that is going away in rotation this summer. come wilds of eldraine we are slated to not have tri-lands or treasure (and when I think eldraine i don't exactly think busted multi-color enablers. maybe ixalan 2 will have those since by all metrics the two). this is always the high power point in standard
I was today years old when I figured out the alternate cost on the BRO creatures actually changes it's cmc. That Brotherhood's End vs Mono W scared me for a second.
Word to the wise... I *_DID_* craft this one, because it looked like a blast! CGB makes it *_look_* easy to pilot, but apparently, not so much. I was promptly curb-stomped, losing three games in a row (all I had time to play), with none of them being particularly close. 😆 Clearly, I need to develop a better feel for how to play the deck, which hands to mulligan, etc. 🙂
@@majordude83 Yeah, once he hit 169,420 subscribers he is going to play a 130 card pirsmatic bridge deck. It's been a thing for awhile and I've been waiting for it!
Who doesn't hate mono-red? I don't even think the people who play it like it. They are just daily fiends and want to get them done asap so they torture themselves by playing garbage.
I've basically slotted Atraxa into my old velomacus lorehold deck so its boros atraxa. has non been performing quite the same though, i think that particular two color atraxa splash can be considered a fail
At 18:19 you can discard a swamp and sacrifice the enchantment in the response, then create a copy of Harvester, kill Sheoldred, resolve everything and draw 2 cards without damage
Alright, could anyone explain about Jin and the prismatic bridge? I've seen it in a couple of the latest videos, and I honestly don't understand the reference. And Grazie CGB for the usual fun videos and decks. Ciao!
He explained it on his second channel but basically about a year ago he played someone who had a 130 card prismatic bridge deck, cheated out Jin and did nutso stuff the whole game. Cast a sea gate, farewelled his graveyard away while he was going through it because CGBs deck had some GY stuff. Anyways after that people were egging him on to play the deck and it just became a meme. Just recently he hit the 142,069 subscriber mark and promised he’d finally play it!
Made a totally new account for this one, and i have to say... i really love it! this is such a great deck! Update: stormed bronze and silver with 80% winrate this deck is so much fun! nost ppl just scoop as soon as the see a Atraxa on the field. Also ran into a mirror match wich was interesting to say the least
So...with some nice Blue spells that give a round of Proliferate like Mesmerizing Dose, or even a Thrummingbird, you could shield up your Atraxa pretty highly, I believe. And could make the draw engine a combo of Celestus + Stowaway.
This deck really doesn't do a whole lot if you don't find Atraxa, so I bumped Atraxa up to 4x, took out celestus, and added some white sources in the lands. Very fun deck
I wonder why graveyard shift over the cruelty of gix- gix seems to slot perfectly into this midrange shell! While also being a reanimation spell for atraxa
Pardon my ignorance, but which one is the prismatic bridge-Jin Gitaxias video at? Like the recording he showed, is there even a video about him playing the deck or against that deck? I am lost
In the second game you could have played the Bitter Reunion, let the discard trigger go on the stack, in response, sacced it to give haste, made a copy of your Harvester to kill Sheoldred and then discarded a land to draw 2.
like normally i don't just auto craft whenever i see a deck, but like Atraxa looks like way too much fun. Like it's scary, you get a ton of value and it's so hard to take down now unless they randomly hold a go for the throat or edict maybe
Proud to say I beat this deck today using basic mono red. Perfect draw and curve had my back. Three mechanized warfare’s out and plenty of burn on hand. Got lucky.
Boros reanimator with atraxa could probably work Back before dominaria United and the standard rotation, I ran a boros reanimator with velomachus and was able to cheat it out turn 4 and get an emeria's call that same attack step But with atraxa? God knows what could happen
@@wldnrkls this one incorporated Kiki jiki, invoke justice, and some cards from New capenna like big score. Similar strat, just different layout in a sense.
I know it's a 7 drop vs a 4 drop but this really puts into perspective how weak the vindicator is. CGB drops vindicator -> mono red fights through it CGB drops Atraxa -> mono red instant concede
If you play badly or have bad draws afterwards, yes Vindicator can't save you then. I can't remember losing a single game against mono red, green or Gruul with him on the field.
The sequel to the 12 Days of Yorion, it's time to play Atraxa in every deck. Mono red Atraxa here we come.
Actually possible with the card Arms Race lol
atraxa is the best card in the set
That sounds a little *Over The Top*
Borion never forget
@@sethc.1366 She's not actually an artifact, so you'd need to arms race encroaching mycosynth in before you could do Atraxa, and at that point it's probably easier to just use treasure tokens.
It would be a much bigger surprise if the prismatic bridge was reanimated to then bring Jin Gitaxias on the battlefield.
With a 130 card deck.

It started with Goldspan Dragon and Kiki-Jiki ( and earlier versions ), but New Capenna and Baldur's Gate made treasure ramping way easy.
Graveyard shift is a criminally underrated reanimator. The instant speed is devastating.
graveyard trespasser and farewell want to have a chat with you
@@Se7en7upp and yet, people are still playing with invoke justice
1 cannot wait for the 130+ cards deck
2 your Atraxa posing is AWESOME
Cgb: misses lethal
Cgb 1 second later: you fell for the classic blunder
Why win when when there are still more cards to be drawn?
CGB likes to play with his food before eating
In the same video he talked about how he is the greediest player on earth against the Simic deck.
ikr he literally said "why won't you die" like it's bc you didn't kill them bro
25:55 "Surprise, mo--" cutting off the swear right after realising that this is a family-friendly video 😂
I was today years old when I figured out the alternate cost on the BRO creatures actually changes it's cmc. That Brotherhood's End vs Mono W scared me for a second.
In that last game the..."let's make it a surprise" got me 😂
Nice animation completly made me happy on a very boring day no longer boring keep up the great work cgb
The maniacal laugh followed by fade to black. Perfect
You had WAY too much fun playing this deck haha. Definitely gonna craft this one

Love the Batman Forever quote! Made me smile!
Sup cool kids with notifications on
We salute you

He’s just missing a Jace for this deck IMO
Ayyy
I don't have notifications on, I was just obsessively checking for a new video
CGB complete with 50% more evil laughter
Ooh I want to see an Atraxa deck that centers around Toxrill somehow. I dunno how you'll do it, but I trust in your love of toxrill shenanigans!!!!
I fell like Atraxa grand unifier can maybe find a spot in the 130 card tax deck no?
The whole Jin-Gitaxias thing cracks me the f up! Can't wait for this!
Is it just an ad/teaser with no date? It's freakin hilarious enough that it could just be a random commercial for nothing and it wouldn't annoy me.

This reminds me of when i put 2 copies of Test of Talents in my Rakdos Blood Money deck when Alrund's Epiphany was popular, lol.

CGB has been blessed by the hands of Jin Gitaxias
loved the suprise effect + evil laugh XD
5:00 that music is so epic!!!

The brilliant Riddler reference best part of the video
This deck really doesn't do a whole lot if you don't find Atraxa, so I bumped Atraxa up to 4x, took out celestus, and added some white sources in the lands. Very fun deck
7:36 CGB, You're scaring me
The perfect intro and outro games for this vid
Missed lethal at 29:25
did u see the vintage combos with atraxa? crazy card.
Still processing that jin video 😮
Banger jinion cinematic - wew - nice one.
Can you try a vat of rebirth version? I’d love to see your take on that
I wonder why graveyard shift over the cruelty of gix- gix seems to slot perfectly into this midrange shell! While also being a reanimation spell for atraxa
Probably because of its flash speed potential.
@@Darkeep12 yep definitely, can't ambush with cruelty of gix, and ambushing with Atraxa is particularly good lol
And also probably to get that card type ratio properly distributed to get max value with Atraxa.
"You're gonna need more than a flying grizzly bear."
I think April 15th would be a great day to bring out 130 card bridge deck.
just tried the deck myself....
white/green enchantment just destroys me but otherwise flashing in atraxa from my grave is just disgusting xD
Great content the laughing after the first opponent conceded had me dying laughing great stuff.
Pardon my ignorance, but which one is the prismatic bridge-Jin Gitaxias video at? Like the recording he showed, is there even a video about him playing the deck or against that deck? I am lost
Oh this is why I played this 4 times on ladder today.......
I love seeing mono red scoop.
Looks like fun...like pulling out a Baldur's Gate Ancient Dragon out of thin air. Why not give Atraxa a Fleshcutter to search for?
CGB The Riddler? Back to work CGB!
I thought for sure you were about to take 8 from that Shieldred. Good thing our lovely angel doesn’t draw cards.
5 colour angel tribal next. reckon you can still get lay down arms in? XD
Omg, that was awesome! Jinions Rise!!
Man, Jinny G. has to have a face-cam during the game!
In the second game you could have played the Bitter Reunion, let the discard trigger go on the stack, in response, sacced it to give haste, made a copy of your Harvester to kill Sheoldred and then discarded a land to draw 2.
no, harvester can only be used at sorcery speed
like normally i don't just auto craft whenever i see a deck, but like Atraxa looks like way too much fun. Like it's scary, you get a ton of value and it's so hard to take down now unless they randomly hold a go for the throat or edict maybe
Atraxa power. Love this deck
Well I wonder what the outro will be when the next set actually has jin
Atraxa this Atraxa that, Atraxa mono blue for even more card draw or Atraxa Prismatic bridge, Jin would be proud.
Budget Atraxa!? Yes, please, thank you!
epic music. do you CGB play any role in its composition?
"Land war in Asia levels of cringe."
Fantastic quote.
Modrak vesuvan dupilmancy deck would go crazy
8:03 Puppet Jace isn't feeling so good. 😢
I really hope that the Jin-Gitaxias pile is Kamigawa standard legal
That was fun to watch
This deck is the fun incarnate 😂😂😂
Honestly I think you struck gold with this idea.
Proud to say I beat this deck today using basic mono red. Perfect draw and curve had my back. Three mechanized warfare’s out and plenty of burn on hand. Got lucky.
I, in fact, did not see this coming.
Just look at his face when he beats mono-red... insane.
Btw CGB if you read comments what's your name? I'm just curious
His name is Joe
Mono Black Atraxa next lol..love this
What's next... Mono-White with Atraxa!!!
Nice Jintro!
32:50 Wouldn't Squee have been exiled if you let it ETB and killed it first, then killed the Kumano?
Cut down works even if creature is phased out?
Sweet deck CGB
Bro... i lost sooo hard when "lets make it a surprise"... goddam i lost... my monitor filled with diet coke 'n stuff i was chewing
I guess this is the reason I had to face this today. Luckily, i was playing Kaya and I just took it from him every time he played it.
Boros reanimator with atraxa could probably work

Similar strat, just different layout in a sense.
Mono red Atraxa-fast,no manabase problem,no one expects that..just sayin..:P
I know it's a 7 drop vs a 4 drop but this really puts into perspective how weak the vindicator is.

Mono red Atraxa.
It don't win much, but it's honest work.
Just like red Yorion deck in past standard
Although I play mono red... I enjoyed seeing those two mech war in limbo.... ha
Wow that was greedy (and I like it).
The First Game… fast.😂
This Jinion loves reanimator.
Atraxa Golgari ... hmmm nice
What video is the 130 card bridge deck in
CGB: Opponent, you fell for the classic blunder
Me: is CGB Sicilian?
I didnt want to get on the atroxa hype, but I already have the other cards, and its only 3 mythics...
Thanks CGB
I really wish Bankbuster and Fable weren't in standard.
Built it and played with it before I even watched the games. Awesome idea!
Jin Gitaxias Prismatic Bridge has to be 150 minutes long at least.
No, but seriously pretty please make it one hour to 1.5h
Atraxa is like Tiamat, but better
Rofl that 130 pile trailer.
CGB saying he'll play Jinny G at 169,420, but then not playing Jinny G at 169,420, is disappointing.
Do we think she'll see bans?
