GYRUDA COMBO BANT RAMP | Ikoria Standard | MTG Arena Gameplay 

I hit Mythic a few hours later with this deck. Humble Naturalist is in the deck now, the 1/3 is great against Red and Rakdos. 28 lands, never miss a land drop, and I trimmed some shock lands so it wasn't too painful because the fixing with paradise and humble makes everything easy to cast. Most of the large things, like Trawler and Umori turned into Pain Bacon, just get them dead. Forget milling them. Have fun - aetherhub.com/Deck/Public/254124 I included a sideboard for you BO3 gamers - Destiny's Spinner nukes the flash and control match-ups

"I feel like i'm playing something from mono black magic in here... But it's actually working" Loved it

"Do something about it. Put a cat in an oven, see what happens." -CGB

Ran into this several times on ladder, thanks I hate it

I actually like when you include the games where you scoop due to missed land drops. It's a good reminder that lands are important, and also helps us understand your thought process behind making cuts/changes at the end :)

Dude, I didn’t know about ur channel until a few days ago but you’ve become an instant classic! I hope ur channel gets huge, because your doing great things! Keep it up!

"Light up the stage, that's fair." He said, sarcastically, while playing a bant deck that so far has won on turn 4 with 3 or more 5+ power creatures.

Hey CGB, I found an infinite combo Luminous Broodmoth Soul Diviner Samut Woe Strider Cruel Celebrant Infinite lifegain, infinite ping, infinite card draw. I played this concept on arena a bit, and fiend artisan is super useful in setting up the combo if you have the moth out on the battlefield Samut can be replaced by purphoros, because it needs to just raw make all your creatures haste. I tried crashing drawbridge instead but it didn’t work, it just gives the creatures haste. So first you sacrifice the soul diviner to woe strider. It returns to the battlefield with a flying counter because of the moth and with haste because of Samut. Because it died, your opponent loses one life and you gain one. Then, you tap it to remove it’s counter and put it back on the ground. Then you sacrifice it to woe strider (cruel celebrant ping), and it returns flying. Because it’s haste you can tap it already and remove it counter. And repeat the cycle until you’ve 1. Killed your opponent 2. Gained so much life your opponent can’t really do anything anymore 3. Drawn your deck I wanted to share it with someone who could get more credit out of it, I've only gotten it to go off two times in standard play. I didn't get a response from other youtubers and I was hoping this combo could get some spotlight Deck 4 Soul Diviner (WAR) 218 2 Plains (IKO) 262 2 Temple of Silence (M20) 256 4 Luminous Broodmoth (IKO) 21 2 Swamp (IKO) 268 4 Samut, Tyrant Smasher (WAR) 235 4 Cruel Celebrant (WAR) 188 2 Temple of Deceit (THB) 245 2 Temple of Malady (M20) 254 4 Drawn from Dreams (M20) 56 4 Forever Young (ELD) 89 2 Temple of Enlightenment (THB) 246 2 Island (IKO) 265 2 Forest (IKO) 274 4 Woe Strider (THB) 123 4 Gift of Paradise (M20) 173 2 Temple of Plenty (THB) 248 2 Temple of Mystery (M20) 255 4 Fabled Passage (ELD) 244 4 Fiend Artisan (IKO) 220

In the end, it doesn't EVEN matter.

I thought maybe this set was going to improve standard.. boy.. was I absolutely incorrect.

"But its actually working" lmfao

@52:43 Yes CGB, Neoform is indeed an interesting idea, considering it would never hit anything ^^. Jokes aside, thank you for this wonderful video, especially the parts about what you would change and why.

'This Charming Prince is going to do it.' Saddest line ever

New expansion: Time to play mono red. How do those people work?

"Epic gamer moments, here on CGB channel. Brought to you by Tragic Misplays©" Every time I see your videos I learn something. And also have a good laugh. That's not a little thing these days. Thank you!

Well, there goes having any fun in Standard until some bans or next set.

"Do something about that, put a cat in an oven...."..XD

Some of the most fun I've had watching a video in a while... So silly

Loved the deck! Thank you.

made myself a budget version with 2 sparks and 2 gyruda and some other bombs i had from starter packs and this also has been very successful so far ! love it

Ive been running Kogla Titan Ape in this deck and its been sweet. The fight ability is useful most matchups, and the destroy artifact or enchantment text wrecks the Cat/Oven and fires decks. You can also use it to blink a charming prince or a guardmage for card advantage in the longer matchups. Its really been the MVP in my deck.

I was screaming "Noooooo!!!" when you bounced your last Rude guy

CGB, I want to thank you for this deck. With this deck (with some of my added modifications like Humble Naturelover, Mothra, King Kong etc) really helped me rank up! I added Mothra/The Moth so that when Gyruda dies, he comes back as a Flier (and does his ability again)

I played two amazing traditional drafts in Ikoria, I crafted Nox's Monored Temur (amazing with 3 songs and 2 oxes) and I created an incredible Mardu Human Knights with Inspiring Veteran, the new guy that buffs humans +1+1, Worthy Knight, Judith, Hero of the Precinct, Order of Midnight, Stormfist Crusader, Castle Ardenvales... Huge boards. Amazing games. I'm loving this set way more than I expected.

Been playing this deck since release. It’s awesome.

I've been running a similar decklist lately and using luminous broodmoth. Ive been loving it because if you play a second Gyruda and have to sacrifice one then Broodmoth will bounce it back for you to then sac the other for way more uses.

Miss doing this in standard. Bant Gyruda was one of my favorite decks before the nerf happened and then rotation

Woah! Amazing deck!

It's really cute that you're allowed to run Incubation/Incongruity. Dual cards are so fun to mess with for CMC purposes!

There's also the 4 mana 2/4 Centaur Druid that gains 3 life and taps for a mana of any colour. It's a little bit sturdier than the 2 mana ramp creatures, it is also even, it's a 4-drop and it gains you life, so you get that little bit more vitality against aggro

Companion is such a cool concept. Will definitely have to save up some of my rare wildcards to see this one through.

Look at it not as failing but finding a lovely way to add more prince's to the field. They scooped become of the royal impending flush.

What a crazy deck!

I just finished watching Day9 for an hour and all he did was lose playing against Gyurda

Alright wildcards, it was nice too meet you.

I wonder if this deck might benefit from adding in Binding of the Titans. It would help prevent whiffing on Gyruda and help you hit your land drops. Also FWIW, one thing I noticed, you can use dream trawler's ability to get cards from your hand into your graveyard to make the Gyruda more consistent.

Looks fun, definitely trying this out soon if I have the wildcards. Eagerly awaiting your take on a humans deck also

6:49 I was worried for a sec you weren't gonna mention nonsense beginning

I would recommend putting Serpent of the Yawning Depths in there, that's my wincon when my opponent plays Hushbringer.

I spent some saved up wildcards for this deck in hopes of reaching diamond this season! This deck look super fun so I wanted to give it a try, ended up just playing a lot of other Gyruda decks lol. I suggest sneaking in two copies of Luminous Moth to cheat on the legendary rule. Best thing is if Thassa is on the field, her bounce removes the flying counter so Luminous Moth can have multiple impacts. I also do suggest running thassa's oracle with that variation. Also Kogla, the Titan Ape is a two of in my build. He is friggin nuts. Also, he can bounce your charming prince back to hand.

The deck is soooo sick 😆 love it

I like having Fiend Artisan to get around counters, and the Moth to get around being nuked

I built my Gyruda deck pretty similar but added two Broodmoths. Makes the decks quite a bit more evasive and resilient.

I wouldnt mind seeing more of this deck with the changes. I like this format: Show off the deck, play the deck, make necessary changes => Sequel hook.

GGs well played.

39:27 how I feel about this version of the appocolpse we got. P.s. this shirt needs to be made. I'd buy it CGB.

Dude, that first game was nasty.

CGB: Neoform is an interesting idea. Chat: @CGB Companion!!!

Lsv ran a version that just had pure ramp into pay offs. Really nice consistency

This deck is sick. Due to lack of wildcards I subbed in some thassa's oracles and teferi time twist, but I am making it work through plat.

“I don’t learn lessons well” I can’t relate to a statement any more

i see that quarantine also create a messy bush we call hair on your head too lol

Currently trying to build this what would you put in place of growth spiral ?

Hey man. Love your videos. Watched a ton of them. I'd like ya to look at the version I've been working on the last couple days. I Might have to make a video of it. Similar. But more answers like going fires into a double le mana ramp spell. Or a sweeper. Or into combo on turn 4. Also mothra helps when one dies it comes back as a trigger. Can hit it 3 times off every death. You can mill quite often on turn 4.

You gave me a really good idea for a cedh deck... but I ll need all clones from magic :)

Just wondering what you thought about adding "Kinnan, Border Prodigy" to this deck

This feels like my Green Leyline into Nissa into Finale of Devistation to summon the Big Pigs, only with a guaranteed Nissa drop.

I took out the white and tried this with just simic. I'm using the Centaur nurturer for Life game and mana, and I put in the serpent of yawning depths to make the Demonic Kraken unblockable. That's worked nicely.

Are you thinking of how to tweek the deck for standard once rotation hits in September?

Hey man! I love the deck, but is there any good replacements for thassa?

Looks like LVD embraced the true beauty of the sharky flash.

Why no luminous broodmoth to add extra board wipe insurance/potentially resetting the combo?

gotta love the cobo deck that has all the pieces it need to go off automatically every game lol

I ran a copy of this deck with 2 aggressive mammoths instead of 1 thassa and one piggy, giving everything trample is insane

"Put a cat in an oven, see what happens." These words made my wife very concerned with no context.

what is the umori for=? isnt it better to replace them with 2 Uros for more ramp?

Watching the video before I even got the notification

Getting flashbacks from my first bump into Gyruda yesterday. Gyruda into Gyruda into stealing my Niv Mizzet at turn 3. I was just trying to play my Shock/Ral, Storm Conduit/Storm of the century/Repeated Reverbation spell which takes like 8 turns to do anything, it was so mean.

Wow... This is op. Love all of the deck ideas! 11/10 content!

as a dirty filthy combo player im hyped over this

9:34 wish we could mod MTGA to play custom sound clips when certain cards get played. This would have been a perfect moment for the Hula song from Lion King! (I assume that's what he was referencing...)

Nice variation on a very popular new archetype.

Gotta love those late notifications

shopping list: 4 gyruda the shocklands man i have the deck ready for the most part. i think i might add some tamiyos to the sideboard just to fight rakdos sacrifice/discard with lurrus.

no one: CGB: Gyruda

have you played against a deck with mass removal? what if the combo doesnt go off and they mass removal the next turn? what are our chances of winning?

25:43 can you use spark double on elite guard mage? if so... copy on guard mage gain life draw a card (this would be a 3/4 so it could block the brazen bower), then using the charming prince in had to flicker one of the elite guard mages gaining more life drawing a third card for turn (including draw for turn here) and have a blocker for both flyers and two ground blockers. Am I wrong? if so please comment!

INSANE

And thassa on mutate is cool it splits the creatures which can be useful under right circumstance

I never understood these coloured mana differences, until I made my first blue deck...than I lost many good friends 😅 lol!

I breezed right by this card when I read it. I gotta stop doing that. This deck is sweet as hell. I'm so giving this a shot. Thanx CGB.

CGB I really enjoy Luminous Brood Moth in the umori spot. It helps with board wipes sure, but it can get multiple extra gyruda triggers when you legend rule it. Its actually quite disgusting haha

I have the perfect build; add in Luminous Broodmoth; when you cast double Gyruda's, it actually comes back from the graveyard and triggers another time :P

If, you have an adventure card where the spell doesn't meet the companion cost. Is it still allowed in the deck and can you play it?

There goes Grafdiggers cage into the Mainboard 😂🤣

Is the impact of companions on magic bigger than when plainswalkers landed?

What about farfinder? I know it costs 3 but it helps you to fix the Mana and thin out the deck (as fabled passage does). Do you think it is worth?

Luminous Broodmoth works crazy and multiple your multiple lengendaries die and return flying so you get double triggers

What have you done? I play only against this deck in ranked now

Try the more combo version with the Moth and Thassa'S Oracle.

Welcome to the new competitive boys haha!

I'm pretty sure beanstalk giant would work with the deck as a 3 cost ramp spell, just because its cmc is technically 10 with the 3cmc spell and 7cmc creature ya?

Gyruda will always be a classic

Ramp Ramp Gyruda! Still love this video so much

so u could use fae of wishes & side board in an odd card, but if u did u could no longer play Gyruda from the zone he starts in? Would he just be Locked in that zone after u wish in the side board card?

The sultai version is pretty awesome too.

I just saw a video that has basically the same deck but has Umori as companion to reduce costs

Thought the companion part only matters if your using from outside the game, otherwise ignoring the companion restrictions if ur slotting it in the deck?

I had all the cards for this deck, except Gyruda, so I built it, and went 5-1 in arena ranked in my first 6. Not bad at all and extremely fun to play.

This deck rebooted my love for MTG. Unfortunately all my rares and mythic wilds were spent, only got 2x Thasas and 2x Gyrudas and that is enough to start having fun in casual play. At least fun and fast way to get through daily quests.
