This is what I’ve been doing in my Zoraline Lifegain Deck lmao They usually sit there and realize you lose off the counters so I pay Fateful Handoff and let them lose instead 😂
I started watching your videos in 2020 when MTG Arena released. My best friend started playing and watching also, eventually becoming better than me and hitting mythic every season. He passed away in August and I’m not sure I will ever open MTG Arena again, but I wanted to stop by and watch a few games like old times.
Fun fact: you can have your arena Llanowar elves with that anime artwork for 1000 gold (or a bunch of gems too i guess), you can craft it for that amount through the deck builder for some reason! Its a cool little thing tbh. There's a few other anime styles you can craft as well, I think, but some of them are more expensive (like doubling season).
@@SpinAroundU its not as it resolves because if it was then removing the creature would fizzle the damage and that can not happen in this case. When you put the spell on the stack you choose to reveal or choose a creature in play and the spell then will have the power of the creature set, removing or changing the power after the spell is on the stack will not change that value.
I made this when omniscience was spoiled in foundations. I like your take on it! I made it all mulch, Springleaf drum elf ( Citanul Stalwart) , and Jace for OTK.
I will admit I thought "Omniscience, loop Atraxa, pass, that's all? No combo win, not even a hullbreaker lock?" but also it would be terrible if either of those were consistently achievable in standard. SNT in timeless is fine because the other decks are also doing bullshit stuff.
@Google-En-Passant lol no there isn't. I can only think of one way to make that happen and that's by drawing 3 dark rituals and a belcher in your opening hand. That's not consistent at all. Super cool that it could happen but I wouldn't count on winning a game by drawing 5 of my combo pieces in my opening hand. YUP called it lol that's exactly what you need at least 5 of your opening hand cards have to be either 3 dark rituals a swamp and a belcher. I also saw someone evoke grief sacrifice it then play 2 dark rituals to get a T1 belcher kill. That means your entire hand has to consist of all your combo pieces. Way too inconsistent to call that a good deck. especially considering the fact you can't really run any lands to make belcher work, so other than your combo pieces the rest of the deck is just filler cards.
Man, if you leaned just a tiny bit into Selesnya, Loran's Escape would have been absolute fire in that second game. Then again, I'm exactly the kind of person who ruins countless decks bending over backwards to beat every corner case that I lose to.
@cdawg0717 if only we still had Tamiyo's Safekeeping. I'm sure they'll print another one soon, but considering Surge of Salvation is also white, maybe it's shifted out of green's pie, which seems to be more about growing your creatures when you protect them
Had someone double snakeskin to protect their creature from removal and combat damage then proceed to omniscience atraxa and the 7/7 dude with 7 keywords. No cards left in hand on turn 3. Fun,...
This is a verrrrry fun idea that I've been planning for a bit aha my deck includes everything but red though, I feel like sometimes its gonna flop but others go crazy...if it doesn't work out I'll build this! Thanks bud!
Monstrous emergence doesn't "target" - it still deals damage even if the chosen creature on battlefield is dead. Even if it had more power than is written on the card, it does not get reduced by it dying - you don't look at the card, you look at the (imaginary) creature. However, the damage can get reduced if the creature's power decreases while still on board. so -X/-X does work against this.
I just played against someone playing this combo. I thought I was kicking their butt until they got things together. Then it took like 5 minutes for them to complete their turn. They had a dozen triggers before they even tapped any mana.
at around the 30:00 mark, he could have declared atraxa as a blocker, then when he gains priority before damage, tap atraxa for a green with relic of legends to cast snakeskin targeting atraxa, thus trading both creatures and going to 22 life instead of 6. i think he could have won that game
I made some changes to this deck and it has been much more consistent. I added some blue for 4 Make Your Own Luck and 4 Step Between Worlds. Also added an immodane's so if I can make my own luck into a plotted omniscience I get to combo kill the next turn. The make your own luck and step between worlds make the deck super consistent when an Omniscience comes down and I don't have to worry as much when I want to drop a naked Koma.
when the set with kona came out i used it to just cheat out Emrakul, the World Anew, or some other scary Eldrazi. Most people would just concede as soon as it hit the board.
I'm not at all disappointed I didn't catch a single spoiler for this set. Seeing most of my elves back in standard is actually making me wanna play arena again. Also, best hydra is back?
Very minor optimization, this deck should replace 4 forests with 4 hushwood verge (the white green dual land from duskmourn) Makes atraxa just a tad easier to cast if for some reason plan A combo doesnt work for literally no downside
Not sure if this is true, but I don't think that Monstrous Emergence cares if they remove the creature that you choose, since choosing the creature happens as part of the cost and isn't targeted. Does anyone know if that's the case?
If he doesnt reveal but choose a creature on the battlefield, the opponent can just destroy the chosen creature. Edit: in both cases opponent can cast instants before the resolution, but he cant get rid of the creature of it's in his hand. (Generally speaking)
Built my wife a new deck around this turn 3 principle with omniscience and atraxa, but with more graveyard recursion, the rakdos recursion enchantment and valgovath cause you can keep slamming legenedaries that will die and they take the damage to the face as you play everything because of the rakdos and it’s hilarious
Weird ask, I know who cares, but could you start saying Mesa Hawks, cause that sound clip you use to simulate a "falcon" is a Red-Tailed Hawk. Videos are always great and I appreciate the content. Take care!
I’m a new player and can craft one deck. Is this a deck that I should craft? I’m thinking about a red / aggro deck. But I also like everything but blue.
bloodthirsty conqueror will likely end up on the standard banlist. i think it's just inevitable. yes, it can be beaten, but it's such an easy turn 4-5 win that the meta will be just conqueror decks and counter-conqueror decks.
Was really excited for Foundations... Felt like it was the old days, but now I'm reminded that these types of decks, unload 50 mana worth of cards on turn 3, or some other "I win" play on turn 3, is what put me off initially. Standard now feels like playing Historic several years ago.
@@jerryli5879 No, I hate it. But now, instead of having that, I have that AND a zillion other ways to play "I win" early in the game. When it comes to overall balance, I want things to be toned down if needed, not other stuff improved to abusive levels for balance.
@@FalconDS9 Oh, that's a shame then... I feel like a card that gives a creature an opponent owns hexproof (or perhaps shroud?) is design space that could work.

Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss Darling. Hope this video brought back good memories to you.
Sorry to hear that my brother.. find your spark again!💪🏽💪🏽💯💯
Gonna be that guy, missed lethal for Kona content in the first game before the Fumigate. That Kona cast gave them the 1 life they needed to survive
He missed another at 9:45.
He also lost 1 damege flipping a Lyonwar elves that was 2/2
Or when he flipped a manifested Llanowar elves over, making it a 1/1 not a 2/2, then attacked all, missing lethal by 1...
I was thinking that
CGB: "You got it, and then what"
Me, to myself: "Fling? nah..."
The opponent:
Yeah, wasn't expecting Burn Together from the Boros Deck. Neither was CGB.
Cmon CGB, you had the ability to tutor up another atraxa with archmages charm next turn, why not just double block with atraxa and elf?
@30:17 I just keep replaying this and it makes my day. Big smile. 🙂
21:56 “ it’s the implication” had me dyinggg 😂 We love Always Sunny
I preferred "I go to 6. Then what?" 30:18
>CGB at 30:23: Come at me, bro
>Opponent: Comes
ayo?
30:28 You can see the moment CGB’s heart breaks lmao

Its a cool little thing tbh. There's a few other anime styles you can craft as well, I think, but some of them are more expensive (like doubling season).
Monstrous emergence can't be blown out. You choose the creature as it's cast and the damage is locked in. It's not a target creature you control.
9:34 I was coming here to say the same thing.
I was going to say this too... but then kept watching and they tell him.
as it resolves* but yes
@@SpinAroundU its not as it resolves because if it was then removing the creature would fizzle the damage and that can not happen in this case.

@@brandonwalsh2160 oh you're right mb, I read that it's a choice not a target, but I didn't catch it was an additional cost.
Mono green + Omniscience is hilarious. Turn 1 elf gonna be making standard insane for a while.
CGB getting hit with the callous sell sword was everything. 😂
This is the deck I’ve been dreaming of since they previewed those two cards in the foundations announcement
They will shadow ban it anyway...
just be ready for disappointment. Every one game it does the cool thing, you lose 4 more by turn 5
@ oh yeah it’s jank as hell but how can you resist t3 omni
What a disgusting deck.
I immediately built it.
Props to Elton for being a good sport for having their opponent have fun playing out their cards despite the overkill. ❤
I KNEW this was going to be a problem as soon as I saw Omniscience was going to in foundations.
7:40 ah yes, good old miss lethal!
I made this when omniscience was spoiled in foundations. I like your take on it! I made it all mulch, Springleaf drum elf ( Citanul Stalwart) , and Jace for OTK.
This Deck is insane. Great stuff!
I'm so glad someone figured this out just as quickly as I did
Timeless SnT player: imagine what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our power
I will admit I thought "Omniscience, loop Atraxa, pass, that's all? No combo win, not even a hullbreaker lock?" but also it would be terrible if either of those were consistently achievable in standard. SNT in timeless is fine because the other decks are also doing bullshit stuff.
@@bki9840 like dropping a veinripper on turn 1 lol
@Obscuredinsight a veinripper? There is a deck that can win with belcher on turn 1, and when it doesn't if often plays necro or Saint Elenda
That’s why I don’t like or play timeless. I like low power formats
@Google-En-Passant lol no there isn't. I can only think of one way to make that happen and that's by drawing 3 dark rituals and a belcher in your opening hand. That's not consistent at all.

25:12 Imagine someone watching this at their 30th birthday, realizing that the last 13 years flew past them like that lifegain trigger
Man, if you leaned just a tiny bit into Selesnya, Loran's Escape would have been absolute fire in that second game. Then again, I'm exactly the kind of person who ruins countless decks bending over backwards to beat every corner case that I lose to.
Tyvar's Stand does the same thing without needing to splash a color.
@@servalerrortyvars stand doesn't protect artifacts...
'k but it's not selesnya, it's mono green.
I tried lorans escape for a while but the elves tapping for green seems better to just use a green hexproof spell to me
@cdawg0717 if only we still had Tamiyo's Safekeeping. I'm sure they'll print another one soon, but considering Surge of Salvation is also white, maybe it's shifted out of green's pie, which seems to be more about growing your creatures when you protect them
It's crazy that we have this in standard now. Standard is like historic light, completely lost it's identity as a more restricted format.
I agree, but Foundations really seems like the smallest offender here 😅
Had someone double snakeskin to protect their creature from removal and combat damage then proceed to omniscience atraxa and the 7/7 dude with 7 keywords. No cards left in hand on turn 3. Fun,...

Not gunna lie, I laughed when you got domed by the Callous Sell-Sword burn against the Boros agro deck.
Monstrous emergence doesn't "target" - it still deals damage even if the chosen creature on battlefield is dead. Even if it had more power than is written on the card, it does not get reduced by it dying - you don't look at the card, you look at the (imaginary) creature.

“The epic smasherings!” 😂
30:23 then what? LOL Love your expression. ;) Keep up the great content mate.
Put on the sunglasses 😎
That first orzhov de k was pretty solid ngl
Already seeing this deck out in the wild. Oof, going to have to run SOOO much more removal.
Hey, that's the deck from that one show that ya played on!
Never thought I'd see Omniscience combo in standard.
9:40
You can chose a card on the field. They can't interact with the spell, even if they can remove the crearure.
That last game really is your average Yugioh turn lmao
I wish yugioh let people could draw that much…. But otherwise yeah
30:15 clip it as a short and name it "Hubris"
😉🙃
love you CGB 💜
I just played against someone playing this combo. I thought I was kicking their butt until they got things together. Then it took like 5 minutes for them to complete their turn. They had a dozen triggers before they even tapped any mana.
Foundations standard is going to be fun 👀
Had lethal on board at 7:18 lol makes me wonder if these are really ladder matches or playing with friends for content😅
Love the final comment! Missing 2x Hauntwoods Shrieker. Can't waste Mythic Wild Cards on that...
looking forward to 5 years of this lol
I anticipate bans every 2-3 months
16:17 Hey, I've seen this one before!
Fauna shamen is a decent add to this list to make sure you can get to Kona!
at around the 30:00 mark, he could have declared atraxa as a blocker, then when he gains priority before damage, tap atraxa for a green with relic of legends to cast snakeskin targeting atraxa, thus trading both creatures and going to 22 life instead of 6. i think he could have won that game
I made some changes to this deck and it has been much more consistent. I added some blue for 4 Make Your Own Luck and 4 Step Between Worlds. Also added an immodane's so if I can make my own luck into a plotted omniscience I get to combo kill the next turn. The make your own luck and step between worlds make the deck super consistent when an Omniscience comes down and I don't have to worry as much when I want to drop a naked Koma.
lol I can't lie, you threw me for a loop when you pulled out this monogreen deck at shuffle up -- but hey, its a pretty cool deck
when the set with kona came out i used it to just cheat out Emrakul, the World Anew, or some other scary Eldrazi. Most people would just concede as soon as it hit the board.
I'm not at all disappointed I didn't catch a single spoiler for this set. Seeing most of my elves back in standard is actually making me wanna play arena again. Also, best hydra is back?
Thoughts on run away together? It doesn't target so it gets around all the ward/hexproof white enchantment nonsense
Can you make a video about the new golgari sacrifice that win Lille? Deck looks fun and wanted to see you playing it
Im Portuguese and lets say that Kona decks are very pleasant,
Very minor optimization, this deck should replace 4 forests with 4 hushwood verge (the white green dual land from duskmourn)
Makes atraxa just a tad easier to cast if for some reason plan A combo doesnt work for literally no downside
Do you forget you have Monstrous Emergence in your hand? you kill the tracker and get your Relic back.
Tried the deck out it seemed neat. Honestly if you want big creatures fast and reliably you’re better off playing squirming emergence in bo1.
Any thoughts on maybe invasion of ixalan to directly pull the beastie out of the deck?
that sell-sword tho! HGAHGAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I wish there was room for the new Koma in this!
14:37 ItWasOverGoBlue
In regards to game one whats the 5 cost card that combod?
Not sure if this is true, but I don't think that Monstrous Emergence cares if they remove the creature that you choose, since choosing the creature happens as part of the cost and isn't targeted. Does anyone know if that's the case?
it is exactly like that
It do in fact be like that
So this is why I keep seeing this
at 9:30 why does he choose reveal? why would choosing a creature he controls allow for an instant to be played but revealing wont?
If he doesnt reveal but choose a creature on the battlefield, the opponent can just destroy the chosen creature.
Edit: in both cases opponent can cast instants before the resolution, but he cant get rid of the creature of it's in his hand. (Generally speaking)
Dark times are coming harry , winter is coming , this will be long 5 years

Nice to see standards in a nice healthy place...
20:09 sheoldred the apocalypse in 2024 actual draft card
I built this and have lost 80% of games :/
Interaction is king in the land of sorcery speed effects and permanents.
Yeah I never build or use wild cards till a meta settles like 2 weeks to a month after a set. Some decks flop.
its only a turn 4 win deck... thats garbage.. too slow..
Not blocking the emberheart was one of the dumbest plays i ever saw cgb do in the channel.
Big win for the mono red mages. Shame for the Dojo...
Turn 1 enigmatic jewel,turn 2 collector's vault, turn 3 reenact the crime is way more consistent.
Standard is gonna be insane
so... im observing a pattern ¿is bw the new archenemy?
I have been using a deck of kona in pioneer since its release, i already knew she was busted but just couldnt be properly used in standart
Weird ask, I know who cares, but could you start saying Mesa Hawks, cause that sound clip you use to simulate a "falcon" is a Red-Tailed Hawk. Videos are always great and I appreciate the content. Take care!
21:15 It’s Always Sunny reference?

I’m a new player and can craft one deck. Is this a deck that I should craft? I’m thinking about a red / aggro deck. But I also like everything but blue.
I would probably play with free decks or what you can build for now. The meta is always wild for 2 weeks or so, and Foundations is a big set
pawper deck!!
bloodthirsty conqueror will likely end up on the standard banlist. i think it's just inevitable. yes, it can be beaten, but it's such an easy turn 4-5 win that the meta will be just conqueror decks and counter-conqueror decks.
one counter spell and this deck shits itself
Jokes on you CGB, I got the Japanese version of that card. On my mama.
😤 You didn't post the vid where I shut down everything you dropped with mono white, every atraxa and even the hydra 😂
How long do you think it'll take for Wizards to ban Omniscience? It's worse than leyline tbh
i swear, every day im happier and happier that i quit magic. its way more bearable when i only watch others play
