An honest video about Mono Red aggro 

RSVP to the stream - we are giving away OTJ Collector Boosters - www.dripshop.live/streams/otjcgb?referral=CovertGoBlue

You mentioned 20 lands in that game, so assuming that's true, the odds of the land-only draw given a 2-land starting hand are (18/53)*(17/52)*...*(12/47).= ~.02%, so you're likely to see this again if you just play another 5000 games 🙃

CGB: I will mulligan this 1 land hand. Arena: Oh, you wanted more lands? Here, draw 8 in a row.

First Game: "How flooded so you wanna be?" CGB: "Yes"

oh no, CovertGoRed is real and it can hurt us

You gotta know that wizards is actively watching him play red and trolling his draws on purpose. The math of this happening so much- you get better odds playing the lotto...

The amount of nongames from land is silly.

CGB...you were the chosen one, you were supposed to defeat the monored, not become them.

35:03 What the heck! My favorite creator in english and portuguese! Who do I root for? 😅🤔 Love you both CGB and Umotivo!!!

CGB playing mono red aggro is like a Paladin betraying his oath. The 8 lands in a row was the punishment.

That "20 land deck by the way" hit close to home

for the first game It is roughly a 1/25000 or .00004% chance that you flood that hard, shufflers fine.

Watched your videos for years. Got to play against you and this deck last night. Thanks for for the honor!! 😉 You're the best.

35:03 WOW! My two favourite mtg content creators in a epic match just made my day! Sorry CGB, but I got to confess that I, as brazilian, was cheering for Umotivo on this one heheh Man, and he was using a deck that is not yet posted on his channel. Probably recording for it! What an amazing spoiler! And all that with the final boss kinda music from the Urza stage! I'm so happy right now 🥹 Btw, I think that was a world record for land draws in monored on the other match. 😮

Two hours of CovertGoRed! I'm here for it.

52:04 Yoooooo that is me, I'm so happy to be in one of your videos I would say I'm sorry for playing mono red but you're playing it too so no questions.

35:02 Yep, umotivo, might be the most known brazilian MTG content creator. Great player and really nice guy.

Shuffler, you're not fine

If you do a Slickshot Showoff deck again you should try adding highway robbery. The extra plot card goes hard with a plotted showoff and it lets you sacrifice a land or pitch a land if you’re flooding out.

That new mountain art is so beautiful that the developers made sure you reeeaaally could appreciate it

I'm fine with this. I enjoy to see the whole variety of the standard meta on this channel.

6:20 there’s something seriously wrong with the shuffler these days. I’m playing mardu angels and in most of the games I’m like drawing 8 lands in the first 5 turns.

great job keeping your composure. Nothing tilts me quite like getting mana flooded.

8 straight lands in a 20 land deck there is an VERY normal day in arena. But hey, the shufflers fine. Then another game with tons of lands make it even better!

Why are the mono red decks always such long videos😂 Edit: Dear lord that first game was painful omg

playing control so often the shuffler thinks you must want lands

Watching that first game reminded me of a game I played two days ago where I had the opposite problem. I was playing mono blue artifact/aggro with 20 lands, kept a two land hand, and didn't see another land until i had 38 cards left in the deck. I didn't even draw the land. I got milled by restless reef and the bottom two of the four cards milled were lands. Then i drew another non-land card and it was over.

"It is mono red, they play mono red". That silly song kept echoing in my head while I was watching this. Nice😂

“8 straight lands” my experience with aggro 😢

I never see cgb happier than when he plays brawl. congrats on 200k and it makes me happy too

It's interesting to hear a professed Red Aggro hater say, "I'm going to take this deck all the way to Mythic!" I think it's indicative of how much of a grind this game is. The reason why Mono-Red is so popular is because it's an easy way to level up. In nearly all cases the game is over in 3-5 minutes. When your grinding that's pretty appealing. I wish they'd come up with a way to make the game more appealing to players who want to choose more diverse options instead of just win, win, win. Must win! ~ Thanks CGB for the great content!

8:05 surreal ^^ mono-red deck is getting vengeance on you Covert ;)

Arena is like the wwe. you know the outcome is predetermined but still are shocked by how well the plan plays out for the game

This is the kind of thing that made me stop playing Arena altogether after the LOTR set. Complete with the 8 straight lands off the top. I'm born in 1984, played some Magic as a teen, even got to Grand Prix Lisboa 1998. I was Blue White from the start (before "Azorius" was ever a thing). I had a great time learning the game and learning statistics alongside it, but then real life caught up to me I was in University, I couldn't afford spending time with the game. After a few years I occasionally got back into the game, first or MTGO, then Arena. A big part of this was the Innistrad sets, the first Innistrad set was awesome not only on cards and mechanics but also the lore and all the work WotC did showing off the different locales on the Plane, what a dream time that was. More "recently" I got back to Magic with Arena after the longest of hiatus, because of Midnight Hunt. I was greeted to a wondrous new world with Arena. Things looked great, nice set, awesome new client with graphics up the wazoo, ease of use, etc etc. Going back to limited was a blast, even when I was poor I thought it the best way to play the game, levelled field and all. Then of course you get to accrue a collection of cards and craft the ones you lack and you get into Standard. Bo1 is the easiest to get into, so sure. But then mono-red is your day to day and then they cancelled the rotation and it got super downhill from there. I stopped having fun with Magic. There's no space for deckbuilding, it's as cutthroat and as fast as you can imagine. Either you are onboard with that or you are way over the top smart the likes of CGB here to survive. I'm not that smart, I'm slightly above average if I'm feeling confident, so there is no space for me here when I'm trying to explore different ways to play Magic. CGB, I appreciate your work very much, I was a Patron for months, I forget how many, but I'm not sure I can go back to Magic anytime soon. Maybe call me when there's an actual rotation, but I'm so traumatized by mono-red I can only take Magic on YT these days. My all time favourite moment in Magic is the Pro Tour Avacyn Restored - that Miracle deck sure was something original and exciting. Definitively not turn 1 Kumano....

That first game was incredible. 0.005% that this happens to you in a game. That's about 10% chance that this happens to you every 2100 games you play, roughly about 50% chance that this happens to you every 14000 games...

That first game man. Holy crap, if I hadn't seen it happen on video...When your flood becomes so bad it cycles back around to being hilarious instead of devastating...

Looks like you broke the shuffler on that first game lmao. LANDS EVERYWHERE!!!

Question, I'm new to magic and I'm wondering if an enemy has a lot of removal or is it a blue player and its counter, how can I proceed with this deck?

a shuffler's fine moment if ive ever seen one

Always fun to see an appearance by OvertGoRed.

19:47 “It’s so much damage! They’re just lil’ shocks!” Haha

Thanks for sharing the incredible draws in those beginning games. In a sad way, it's good to know it happens to others. And removal.dec with it's full house of 3 cut downs and 2 go for the throat.

And people still claim the shuffler isn't rigged...

If anyone is curious, Umotivo is brazilian, gonna look for the mounts video in his channel as soon as this is over, to watch it from the other side

You either die a hero or you live long enough to become the villain.

My favorite RDW was RNA pre WAR release. Runaway steam kiln with 4x wizard lighting, 4x scewer the critics, 4x light up the stage, and 4x Ghitu Lavarunner. My deck had 18 lands and only ever needed 3 lands to win on turn 3.

got to love the stats on those land draws that would never happen back to back in any probability meter lol but cant ever blame the shuffler lol

That first game is what you get for converting to the Mono Red side. 😂😂😂

Are we splashing for white 1/1 fliers though?

Hello everyone. The Deck in the Video is not the same on the Link from Moxfield. How can I get the Deck from the Video :-) ?

I was almost thinking of playing some arena again since it's been awhile, then the first two games reminded me why I quit

Why is Foretell face down and Plot face up. Doesn't make any sense 😂

Cool new intro! It's an update since the Kamigawa theme

that first game flooding thou

someone at wizards is purposly trying to destroy arena by manipulating the shuffler maybe there purposly pushing everyone back to paper

Your reaction to the 5th straight land on 6:15. lol. That's usually where I lose my shit. 8 lands in a row! BWHHAAAA!

The Fblthp emote is from a song called "Big enough", where a dude in a cowboy hat belts at the top of his lungs, recommend giving it a listen, on stream ofc.

That ending ❤ he said the line!

Fblthp's emote appears to be a shoutout (no pun intended) to the song "Big Enough" (I forget the artist's name but it'll be first result if you search it). This song has been memed to hell and back because it features almost a minute of ethereal-looking cowboys in the sky just screaming. Enjoy!

Did you forget to renew your Shuffler Premium subscription with the new set?

The flood was real! I've had pretty good luck running 18 lands in my mono-red decks.

The first set of official Lorcana tournaments are this weekend and I decided to sleeve all the fam’s decks in Ultimate Guards instead of Dragon Shields this time around to reward the sponsors! They help the content, I’m happy to help them! Now they better make me win!

CovertGoLand darn those were tough

This version of RDW seems pretty solid. How would you change it for BO3?

I think the Fblthp emote is a reference to the music video of Big Enough for those who are still wondering :D

the fblthp emote is him singing big enough by Kirin J Callinan

Just when I built boros convoke, this bird shows up and crushes me

Why the deck from the begining is diferent than that you played? Misha and the spell that does 5 of damage

were you playing blakes all land deck?

Epic Flood! Noah would be jealous.

33:38 - This would be one of those "Mono red always has it" moments from the opponent's perspective.

8:00 - Remember, MtG's lead designer thinks the mana system is one of the BEST things about magic.

Ferocification is really good. Won some drafts with it.

Why not lightning bolt instead of lightning strike? Am I missing something?

oof I felt that first land flood game, that's a big feels bad.

I think there is a bug, all night I have been getting either no lands or all lands. It is driving me batty.

All those lands in that first game had me cackling

@CovertGoBlue The probability of drawing a land card in each of the next 8 consecutive draws from your deck, after already drawing 2 lands out of the first 7 cards, is approximately 99/ 2005255 or about 0.00494%...

I played an Atraxa once and hit all lands. I wish i had that luck in Vegas.

Honest question - why isn't twinferno played in more mono red decks?

Fblthp studied the sacred arts of "Big Enough"

Lands are the one mechanic from MTG I attempted a few times already to houserule away.

Watching this, it's hard not to believe the shuffler is biased against mono red

I'm giving this deck a try and so far so good lol

I truly think plot should allow you to exile them face down so u can actually hide what you're plotting

I knew it! CGB has a red soul!

"That's you. That is how you sound" 🤣😂

The elderaine board on arena looks like a hearthstone board.

mono red aggro is the best deck! also love your content.

7:40 - that's magic bay-bee!

I didn't see "highway robbery" anywhere. definitely don't sleep on that card with the showoff. being able to plot it and then sac a land next turnto draw 2 is amazing. you can even play a few things then sac one of the tapped lands

Twinferno goes so hard in this deck! Suprised you didn't put it in.

Hmm where is the decklist for this deck? The one in the start of this video isnt right! :S

That first game was pure comedy.

I’ve been land flooded…but never like that! Omg!!

Yes come to the red side of the color pie! We have anger management issues! 😂😂😂

RED GOES FASTA! Either you torch your opponent super fast or you burn in a blaze of glory. Either way RED has always been my favorite color since I started all the way back in the mid-late 90s

Slick shot and DRC would be a killer duo

Have ALL the lands. Thanks shuffler. ^^

It’s the Mesa falcon guy!!
