Azorius Robots are taking over Standard! 

"I am Urza, Planeswalker" -Urza, Planeswalker

1:23 Excellent job editor! Don't let CGB Bully you!

Just realized that Get Lost on your own creature would add two artifacts to your board, which could be the difference for lethal. Random thought, but maybe useful for someone.

CGB pronouncing Aegis as EyeGeese was beautiful

I played mono red slick shot against a deck like this recently. They absolutely shoved me in a locker, pulled me out of the locker a turn later and promptly game me a wedgie followed by a swirly.

It's not cgb it's CGI 😅

Glad to see Dr. Ruckus is still playing.

Cgb hates transforming the smithy. He had 6 artifacts and had another smithy in hand and still said "nope." I transforming that as soon as it's safe to do so.

Nice to see Dr. Ruckus playing missed his videos and even cooler to be in a cgb video!

How many artifacts could artifacts artifact if in fact an artifact could in fact artifact

Aegis is the mythical shield that had Medusas head nailed on it.

this was really satisfying to watch, multiple synthesizers synergize so well with each other

I've been slapped around by this deck, was wishing to see your take on it. Thanks CGB!

New Cgb video right in the morning, now thats a good way to start the day

if u wanna go "infinite": Copy Simulacrum with Three steps ahead, then playing worldwalker helm, that "copies target artefact copy" then you can make a simulacrum each turn for 2 mana only, that exponentially makes more tokens, leaving your mana free to cast removal/counter. in my deck I also play Barbed net + 1 or 2 proft's for no maximum hand size. I drew 30 cards in one trigger once and gave +29/29 to a flyver for lethal. So many mythics tho...

Aegis is pronounced "ee·jiss" :D

That was brutal! Nice work man!

Hey, a Dr. Ruckus appearance! I miss his videos. Hopefully he comes back some day.

You dunking on mono red was satisfying to see

I think you run high noon in every white deck at this point. It completely crushes aggro decks. And it completely ruins the plot mechanic. Messes up most combo decks. As long as you run a way to sac it, either by running a bit of red or other outlet, theres little downside, unless you run into blue tempo, then its a bit sketch.

It's a bit greedy, but I love using Worldwake Helm in this build because you can use Three Steps Ahead to make a token of the Synthesizer or the Mightstone and then copy that token for two mana every turn.

I'm starting to think you're not an illusion created by the machines...

New cards I know, but with nothing else in hand you could cast, 6:34 you should have used Three steps ahead for UU1 counter & 2 Colorless to draw 2 and discard a card. Even if you discarded the legendary Thousand Moon smithy you could have used it to craft the Sawblades into a 5/5 beater. Side note, Its mostly a draft card but don't sleep on Braided net from Ixalan! 3 mana artifact that enters with 3 counters, tap remove a counter tap target non-land permanent. It is great for shutting down hastey bird wizards as well as putting a stop on opponent's upkeep and tapping down Planeswalkers! (Turns off all activated abilities). Finally for U1 you can exile it and another artifact (from board or graveyard) to craft it into Braided Quipu!. Which has 3U tap draw a card for each artifact you control! Really punishes your opponent's get losts! Also Celestus as a 1 of is a 3 mana Artifact! Finally (Sorry I get excited about Azorious Artifacts!) I would go a little harder on Anchorages & Mirrex! You can't underestimate the value of the extra artifacts with the crafting abilities + the Goloms from 1000 moon smithy Pow/Tuff is based off of total number of arti's. So any Treasures, Maps, or Mirrex's you have lying around are extra valuable mid-late game!

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE THIS DECK FOR EVER THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING IT TOGETHER CGB YOU ARE THE BEST!!! Also, thoughts on braided net?

This deck is straight fire 🔥 I really enjoyed watching these games. Urza meld in game 2 🤤

Glad I got my simulacrum synthesizer when I did. Geez

Old intro is back and i like it. Hyped to see CGB version of blue white artifacts

24:34 You could also make a token copy of the Thousand Moons Smithy here instead of drawing two + discarding one, and that alongside the Synthesizers would give you 3 Karnstructs

Alchemy has a card called reflection net that has the same effect as aegis but you can flash it in. It's also an artifact

I've actually been playing this deck since LCI and Simulacrum makes it so much more viable

Man I was pumped to try this out and I gotta say I got absolutely dumpstered every single game.

Urza is absolutely broken but it takes soo much to get him put

CGBot: It's an artifact deck! Me: He's gonna meld at least once

Pretty sure it's pronounced ee-jiss

Ouch I just saw the paper price of that Simulacrum! Ugh I wannit!

is there a way to message directly for advice? I am sure you get this quite often but was curious is all

Happy to see at 15:06 @DrRuckusMTG is still alive 🥳

Also, Thran spider is very good in this since most decks cant use the powerstone but you can

A best of 3 series might be good. Especially with the RC season coming, there surely is a demand for watching best of 3 standard with the meya decks and even more the off-meta decks that could be well positionned to win against the meta

I CALLED IT! I SPOKE ON THE SYNTHESIZER IN THE STREAM A FEW DAYS AGO

Azorious artifacts almost makes me want to get back into MtG. But then I realized I'd probably have to grind mono-red to get the cards

The design concept of the aegis is kinda like the alchemy card Reflection Net.

That first mono black deck was nothing but haymakers and bats.

The Aegis (pronounced ee-jiss) is a shield in Greek mythology made with Medusa's head and wielded by Athena, but aegis can refer to any shield ^^

26:54 I'm genuinely curious, does this deck even play any 9 mana value cards? Because ill timed explosion doesn't count the total mana value of the discarded cards but rather the greatest mana value among the discarded cards. Perhaps they intended to cast 2 explosions in a row?

I really like the synergy of this deck but I wonder how well it fairs in ranked standard. I can craft 1 deck and wanna be careful lol

I loved the deck and hype for seeing it on bo3! Idk about eternal wanderer on bo1 though Also this deck will be way better against control when march rotates and everybody will be on 4x march

Cool deck!

thank you

Okay now im confused: no cryptic coat?

PLEASE… CGB… YOU KNOW WE NEED THE NEW HISTORIC BRAWL DECKS

Everything tends to work out in mono red’s favor

No cryptic coat?

Wh would the big score not be Standart legal? It's the aftermath set for thunders and aftermath was Standart Legal the last time too

Dying to Urza Meld in big 2024 is quite something

The Big Score is standard legal, because it is the set of cards that were going to be another Aftermath set, but they backed out of that idea, and just merged it in.

This deck speaks to me 🤩🤩

"eejis", CGB. It's from Greek mythology, the shield of Zeus. It wasn't the understudy writers from wotc who came up with the word "Aegis"

just remember sawblades kills stuff while rotpriest is out it cares about spells not abilities

i think played ageist you while i was using a with a test dec about 2 days ago and i only just noticed your on you tube

First game you had two mana open and didn't draw two with three steps ahead

Given the art direction from WOTC, I'm not suprised CGB is following suit.

Wouldn't recurring cryptic coat be good in this?

CGB, aegis is a shield and the correct pronunciation is AY-JIS Correction: it’s an attribute of specific Greek and Roman gods represented by a goatskin shield and in modern use it is defined as backing or support

CGB please open your vault....my OCD.

“A-Jiss”

I've been playing azorius artifacts for years. It works better if you add Cephalopod Sentry and Static Net for removal. You also need all the cards that create artifact artifacts (Urza's command, Thousand Moon Smithy and Simulacrum Synthesizer). Urza Prince of Kroog is also must have for the +2/+2 and to copy your artifact artifacts for more artifact artifacts. This deck he's made is too control for my tastes. Except for Machine Over Matter, Urza's Command and Static Net my deck is almost all creatures or artifacts. You can also throw in Mirror Box.

Why not Mondrak?

The automatons are here

Age-iss like "hiss"

My man said aegis right once this entire video lol

Clay fired bricks?? How are bricks supposed to pay rent!?

Why did the ai say its not me if its not cgb?

24:32 Am I crazy or is this lethal? Choose copy (Smithy) instead of loot, make 3 6/6s. Then on your turn copy a Synthesizer for 3 more artifacts and attack for 9x3 = 27? Safe play or not, that's wild.

It makes Karn-structs. Simple enough. Lol

Artifact shenanigans? You had me at a copy of Urza in the current standard. Quarter of the way into the video, hoping there's some Meld tears incoming... Edit: Moments later the meld comes against Ruckus? So conflicted... 😊Happy the meld came so fast. 😢Sad because I like Ruckus, he does good content.

I wonder how well an AI trained on all of CGBs content would do?

I'm kinda annoyed that the breaking news cards arent standard legal, I keep losing rare/mythic pulls for cards I can't play in standard from standard boosters.

Ayyy jis

Too bad when you hover on the 5/5 vehicle, the opponent can see what you're looking at and they can also figure out what you're planning for the on board combat trick.

Friendly reminder that solitude always wins

The Big Score is legal in standard? Hmm.

Aegis is pronounced eejis, more or less.

CBG not knowing how to pronounce Aegis confirmed he has not played Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Azorius artifacts was the first deck I crafted when the new set dropped. My version runs some different cards than this, like worldwaker helm. Really fun when it pops off but suffers against this hyper-aggro meta that usually kills you by turn 3 or 4 😪

A-Jiss

I think it's "æ-jis" 🤔

rip mythic wild cards

Rotpriest, the Archenemy of CGB

The Synthesizer is cool, But the Duplicator is more fun

ayo dr ruckus??

Kinda confused why CGB didnt copy the backside of the bricks in Game 1 to get two tokens when he said he wanted another creature. Otherwise good games!

Can you play a deck created by chat gpt?

Beep Boop

Had one job… still failed

Everyone, this is not CGB. It is Jace, the Mind Sculptor. Yes, I did hijack the CGB channel and account if you are asking why he was promoting Mono Red.

must be nice to always have 4s of all the newest best cards... on the other hand it must be expensive as well.. but ya, must stay ahead of the competiton.. i just stay here with my f2p pile of leftovers xD

Aegis is pronounced 'age-iss' or 'ay-jiss' whichever is easier to read.

and you dont use the new land tha draw a card

A-Jiss for pronunciation.
