11:13 Might of the Masses prevented them from attacking because they no longer had a 1/1 during declare attackers step lol so basically a waste of the might.
30:00 you could've sacked the cat to the oven, then used the gingerbrute to bring back the cat.
I think this was probably the correct line
I wrote this reply then deleted it after I saw you wrote this. Definitely was the best play
I didn't see that and I'm glad I know this little piece now. gr8 comment
Yeah I saw that line too ultimately didn't matter but the extra food in the long run could of been clutch
Yea but CGB himselft commented on that that that would be a interesting play.
That play at about 15:00 (game-winning) was actually really good. Like a subtle nuance of the deck that usually doesn't get noticed by most players.
Yep, I rocked that Footlight Fiend+Call of the Death-Dweller sac combo a few weeks back, it's ridiculously satisfying how brutal that lets you be.
I recommend playing this for the sole purpose of pulling that combo against creature heavy decks.
37:18 I do this with my auras deck whenever I would concede, also!
That board wipe in the second matchup was sweet, big brain play.
Make a Rakdos Ozolith deck. Butcher and Ozolith is really strong and there are powerful recursion effects so you can keep bringing them back each turn
After fooling around for weeks with the Lurrus companion version of this deck with Celebrant instead of the main decked Lurrus I came around to trying main decked Lurrus because I felt like revealing Lurrus as a companion gave away too much. People would hold up removal for that turn you pull Lurrus out of the SB and I quickly found myself throwing Lurrus in the oven the turn it came in to keep it out of exile. This is the exact version of the deck I have been running for weeks now especially with the new companion tax nerf and have found that I play Lurrus in this version almost as much as I played Lurrus in the companion version because having to play Lurrus as a companion around removal meant not playing Lurrus on curve and having to make sure you get the value out of it. Now you can hold Lurrus until Priest, Fiend, or Devil dies, and then drop Lurrus and bring back whatever card you need that your opponent thought they dealt with. The ONLY problem with this deck, and I have fooled around with this deck a lot is that mass removal tanks your game quickly (as it is meant to do) and can be hard to recover from since most of the time with this deck all of your focus is on the board and not in your hand. Cast both your cats and ovens? Sure why not? Cast out both Devils to take down that monstrous mutated madness? Sure why not? Drop Fiend Artisan to pull out Priest with few if any backups in your hand? Sure why not. And then *boom* Shatter the Sky or Clarion. Shit! When I play this deck now if I suspect mass removal I try to keep a couple reserve units in hand to recover with.
I really like this deck. I’ve been playing Rakdos sacrifice and I’ve been trying out 2 copies of fiend artisan and it’s been pretty cool. I’ve had a few instances where I call of the death dweller in the late game and claim the artisan, who is then 6/6 or more, to swing in for lethal. Also he can be used to find other creatures you need and as a sacrifice outlet for gain control spells.
30:14, should've sacrificed the cat and then you could have brought it back by sacking gingerbrut to it
I've been having so much fun with Rakdos sacrifice for months now. Sometimes it's better than others but, it's killing it right now.
Why not 4 fabled passage?
Seems like an easy sacrifice trigger.
Too high of a risk of drawing doubles in your hand. Early tapped lands would hurt this deck a lot. Notice that there are only 2 temples.
I just built a deck like this, and I run 4 fabled passages and 4 blood crypts
@@cowboy_k3147 Exactly. I used 4 and for some time even 2 Evolving Wilds, but no temples. The results are better in general, but I use one less set of 1 CMCs and some Judiths and Angrath's Rampages
what about lotus field
@@lorenzozauli3926 interesting idea, and it would be a way to fill the graveyard to escape kroxa
...and now i lost against a shark typhoon/mu yanling combo with dovins acuity and a LOT of burn spells... nothing i played stayed for more than 1 round on the board, with the exception of witch's oven... my cats were removed with banishing light and prison... seemed my opponent had ALWAYS the right spell when he needed it...
I enjoy the intermediate decision making that is required with this deck. Not mindless but not Temur Reclamation. I substituted 2 dreadhordes for 2 Kroxa which seems to be a good swap. Most of the time I do not bring back Kroxa but it has won me two games where both of us ran out of gas.
If i have to choose, i would rather lose to Winota or Mono Red on turn 3, than win against Rakdos Sacrifice. I just concede if they have one of their 24 copies of Oven in their opening hand.
In the game 4 against the Season of growth deck, you actually could have sacrificed the Gingerbrute you Claim-ed for "free" if you have left your cat in the Graveyard during your opponent's previous end step. A Gingerbrute is a "Food Golem" type, and counts the same as a pie for Familiar. That possibly could have set you back a damage from not attacking with the cat though, so it still might not have been the best line.
Minor inaccuracy in last game, but lethal could've happened the turn before concession (though it didn't matter). If you didn't ping cat, they don't have food to recur it so they die, since they gain one less life and take 1 more damage, then you can use second Lurrus to recur scorpion and sac Scorpion and two creatures to oven to put them to -2.
2x speed crowd and that slow talk was hilarious
you guys probably know it but its fun that if you block with the cat and then sacrifice it with the oven before resolving the attack, opponent's creature doesn't attack at all.. its cool because you can avoid the damage, the opponent gaining life and so on. doens't works if creature has trample, first attack and double attack
call of the death dweller on mayhem devil is just sick
Chandra's sac pets. Field of Ruin. Traveler's Amulet. Crypt Caves. Mask of Immolation. Piper of the Swarm (someone let me makes 3 rats and then I got a 2nd devil). Kroxa. Redcap Melee and Spark Harvest. Angrath's Rampage and Phyrika's Libation can hit creature, enchantment, artifact and planeswalkers as a sacrifice they do. Plaguecrafter double sacrifice. Soul-Guide Lantern is insurance with a draw card option. I have no Oven yet as with other key cards to make common meta deck work. Ban had no effect on me, LOL.
Talking in slow motion during cat oven is next level. Over 9000
0:32 This deck has no Teferi, Time Raveler in it. Is CGB perhaps hinting that only a version running Teferi, Time Raveler can be considered the true best sacrifice deck, sacrificing one's own humanity to the 3 mana overlord?
Every video Is Always "the best deck" xD decide one, Christ!
Been playing this archetype for ages. Call of the Death Dweller MVP. Keep up the daily content dude, loving it!
I love Sakdos, have done so over the last year. Good to hear it's the current top dog, been taking a beating playing mono green. I like to include the odd Heartfire for closing games.
Just put this deck together to give it a whirl seeing as I had damn near all the cards to begin with. This thing wrecks people. Real fun deck to play.
I have stick to Lurrus Sac in Historic. The mana provided by the Priest buffers the nerf enough to still have him as companion. I tried the Devils in the deck but it warps the purpose and speed of it, since it's still using 4 Suppliers that get along with Lurrus while feeding Kroxa. I would have to say that if the Historic meta goes more Midrange and Control, having Lurrus in main and perhaps one Gruesome Menagerie would be better as you drop your speed to match the format. Currently, but not everything, in Historic is mostly Aggro and Combo, so a faster build that can fetch Lurrus at choice is better.
The nerf has made two major changes in Lurrus Sacdos:
1. You can no longer steal games that you had no business winning. This is actually a fair thing to have in the format.
2. The decision to retrieve Lurrus is one of great nuance and can take some time to understand when you want to do it. I wouldn't get frustrated if people miss the point at first.
Honestly, the nerf is fine in regulating the companions. If there was a card in your deck that said: You can fetch it for 3 mana during your turn, you would probably play it if it's good enough. I do wish it could be done at instant speed, but maybe that would be too little of a change and only favour a couple of companions.
I love this deck! It looks fun to play, fun to watch, not fun to play against, but... 2 out of 3 ain't bad!
I started playing rakdos sac right when mayhem devil went out in WAR
God I'll miss that card...
CGB plays the deck = faces mostly creature decks and wins a ton. I play the deck, face none of the decks CGB played against and get wrecked. This is the way most of my "Hey I should try that deck" games go. :)
I've been enjoying weaponize the monsters as a 2 of in Rakdos Sac. Having an extra sac outlet is super useful and paired with cat oven it's nice to answer removal on your other creatures and use the extra food+mana for extra damage instead of gain life.
Right after stardard got shaken up i did a similar list but mine is mono black with Ayara and that knight that lets you draw when your dudes die, lurrus too, just a solid deck. I run merderous rider as removal and yeah call of the death dweller is crazygood for bringing back priest and scorpions. Didnt think of using it with mayhem devil for the DT pings... nice.
I hate to be that guy, but this is really fun for me to play. Deathouch on Mayhem Devil is absurd. This deck got me from low Platinum to Diamond. Thanks for posting this CGB!
Its better if you run a couple tentative connection to steal anything cause call gives menace. Also a couple labyrinth raptors can be really good since they have to sack to block and you can pump menace. Rakdos sacrifice is for sure my most played deck and I have been steadily playing one version or another since WAR release.
I personally like to use dead revels also because it works so well with the priest, than i also run judith and torbran, it’s something I don’t see much in those decks but works pretty well and can get very nasty
Claim the Firstborn is criminally stupid design.
Should definitely not cost 1
🧂
it grinds my gears lol
"Oh you spent 3 mana for that creature? Well I'm going to spend 1 to take it, slap you with it, then sacrifice it for food/card draw/scry. GG BRO."
Imagine how you'd feel having your first kid getting stolen by Goblins!
You should make a Jund combo deck with grazer, goose, rotting register, fling, claim, and pump spells like giant growth. Get a hasty regisaur turn 3, next turn pump it and fling
God-Eternal Bontu + Mayem Devil is a nice finisher. You can sac your board ad win.
Ive taken this exact deck to mythic top #1000!! Thank you!
Im surprised fiend artisan hasn't popped up yet
I felt the auras guy mentality when he started aura pumping the enemy. Kek
Try a sacrifice build with a bunch of temporary taking control of and kaya's ghostform. The enchanted thing comes back under YOUR control, and you can enchant things you control with it even if you don't own them.
I like Juza's version much better. This deck really demands Woe Strider and with Midnight Reaper you get a lot of refuel - no need to play creatures out of your graveyard. Sacrificing on demand is a key element and Woe Strider helps a lot. On top it gives you a token to sacrifice to the priest. The lack of removal for big creatures is not really an issue why i think the deathtouch combo with fiend does not provide very much. Just play aggressive and keep the board clear.
WOWSA!!! just saw that 3rd turn turn-a-round where you wrecked his board and then he realized... IT"S ALL OVER BABY!!!
Sac the cat then sac the gingerbrute to the cat.
Love you videos keep up the good work.
I have been doing great with my mardu knights deck.
I have gone from bronze to diamond since the bans.
That deck is by far the worst to face.
Even managed to get the win three times before my opponent gets their third turn.
Only problem is the mana base which is to painful, I end up taking 6/8 damage from my lands most games.
I agree, I am working on a rakdos menace weaponize deck. Fiend artisan, labyrinth raptor, mayhem devil
I actually run a Mardu Sacrifice using Cruel Celebrant plus Bastion of Remembrance...I've got about a 75% overall win rate with it, plus I have game against nearly all the top decks....
I tried switching out the butcher with blood aspirant. It's amazing.
30:17 sac the cat and then you can sac the gingerbrute as a food for the cat.
Haha... I just made mythic for the first time ever with this, going BO1. I started out low-tier diamond, then spent a boring shift at a hotel tonight using this deck to climb. I had a good win percentage moving through Diamond 4, 3, and 2... but didn't keep track. I kept track though as I climbed through Diamond 1. I went 11-5 with this deck in best of ones (68.8%). I couldn't quite make mythic with Yorion Lukka or Temer Rec (so close!!! Diamond 1 so many times)... but pwning people with this in best of 1 did the trick. MYTHIC!!!!!
Mono black sacrifice using bastion and woe strider is fairly strong aswell.
It’s very slow. Easy to outpace. This version has more variety and a more powerful cap
Whats that look like?
@@DUES_EX I'll take no advice from someone who can't coordinate a username and profile pic.
@@negatorxx mixed with some afterlife creatures and cat oven its just alot of pinging.
I played a dimir control list with lochmere serpent and the 2 mana 5/4 with flying lately and destroyed this deck. :D
The fact that you don't know Vantreee Gargoyle means you are not a top tier player. Mythic is not just about your deck, its about your ability to pilot. The players rarely miss triggers, know the rulings on every card in the meta, how to stack triggers, and how to not blow your load when you think you are ahead. Mono red deck and white enchantment voltron deck players are amongst the worst players in magic. They rarely know what the fuck they are doing so they play a deck that plays itself. Your dimir control list might be able to pump the breaks on this deck occasionally, but as far as the meta goes, yorions gonna out play dimir 80% of the time, and so is the healerhawk gingerbroot alseid deck. Keep one mana up and they will stomp your face before you can control the field. Dimir control is not a tier list meta deck. Regardless of what you play in it. Its got good hands, good plays, but a simple agonizing remorse can make vantress a sitting duck. Turn 1 land go. Turn two land cantress go. You have 4 cards, agonizing remorse, now fight to get 4 cards back in your hand while keeping up. Can't block creatures used in meta=Rimrock, thats it. With how many things destroy graveyards as well such as Kloythys, Elspeths Nightmare, etc etc. Essentially you are playing a tap to mill 1 engine. That has no protections, and only really shuts down aggro. Heartless act stops it. Brazen Borrower stops it. Teferi stops it. Storms wrath stops it. Shatter stops it. Lava coil stops it. Vantress is not a good card in this meta at all. Double shock? Shock with torbrand? Banishing light? Convoke the ancients? Mystical dispute? Quench? Essence capture? Eat to extinction? That cards just too easy to deal with and if you are building around self mill, you are way too slow for this meta to begin with. Throw your shit away fast to get him working or he just becomes a wasted card in hand. So many better things to do in dimir to stop aggro than vantress. Other things stop mayhem rakdos better than vantress in the two slot as well. Vantress is a limited card. Change my mind. Lochmere as well.
@CovertGoBlue Hey, why is there a Sacred Foundry in here? Wouldn't a second Temple of Malice, a 4th Fabled Passage, or even a basic mountain be better than that in this deck? There are no cards that require (or even benefit from) white mana or plains.
My mardu deathtouch tribal/porcuparrot deck does pretty well against it but only if you get the hushbringers and hounds of athreos out early
CGB is just the best magic player, any deck with him is the best
I run a deck like this with Kaya's Ghostform. Claim their prize creature, attack + ghostform, sac, and keep the creature. Plus Ghostform is good to protect Lurrus.
playing a similar deck in historic atm, because i honestly missed playing this deck.
CGB @ 11:04 "All that for a drop of blood >:)"
Love this deck. I'm new and just had a bunch of blue silver and gold wildcards and every other decent deck runs at least 4 to 6 mythics.
Sure its evil and boring to play against but it's the only one I can afford!
Maybe rookie question: 17:37 couldn’t you swing with Cauldron and Butcher to see if they let any damage through? If they block you sac to Priest anyway.
Esse deck ficou muito bom! Vou modificar minha lista para ficar igual a essa. Bom vídeo! 👏👏👏🇧🇷
Tava usando com Jegantha mas acho que esse tá melhor.
Would include Kroxa. maybe Anax too. Not sure about maybe adding clackbridge troll, woe strider or even bolas citardell. there are many viable cards for rakdos sac. Would light up the stage make sense? I tent to make my decks bigger than needed :D
I think woe strider or another sac outlet would be good. It always stings when you draw claim but no oven or priest got zapped.
wow, just tried it myself, despite my disgust for cat/oven...
the deck basically plays itself O_o
edit: just lost to a winota/chandra combo, baqsically summoning 2 good humans like kenrith every turn :/
i can't understand why fires got banned but winota wasn't... i guess wizards hasn't milked winota enough yet -_-
I still like watching CGB play control decks =)
Sry if I missed, but why 1 white mana in sacred foundry? Seems odd for Lurrus
so you can more consistently get lurrus down, since you need 2x black and you want to be sure you always can so having lurrus-able red sources can help
2x speed is my default at this point
Same🙃
I'm at a point where regular voice CGB sounds really weird.
he plays waaaaay too slow it makes you lose your mind, but most streamers do the same
Well i just found out i can do this so it is my default now too
30:25 you could have sact the cat and let cat eat gingerbrute giving you a free food token for later
A control deck with 4 clarions and shatters sky can sweep rakdos, any mayhem devil or priest. Or a control deck, as long as the priests are killed its all fine, and dream trawler wins it. But its very strong against every other deck.
Tried 2x. Slow talk worked surprisingly well.
I concede as soon as I see witch's oven. Too strong, it's almost impossible playing against it. :( Wonder what they were thinking at mtg headquarter...
I have a 100% winrate against rakdos sacrifice with a bant Yorion deck in diamond. Its mostly just fae of wishes to get grafdiggers cage and 3 or 4 of knight of autumn for the witches oven and glass casket for lurrus.
Today I was playing Blue White mutate flying life link and it won against Rakdos Sac 42-0. Not sure how close it was. I countered his Oven turn 2 with negate which gave me a huge advantage but still that life link with lots of draw cards worked well
What about kroxa, fabled passage and robber? Appreciate every opinion guys :)
Kroxa/Lurrus gets nasty pretty quick, especially if you can get a cycle of Cat/Oven/Devil going. I ran a Kroxa version of this with Stormfist Crusader 4x and found it absolutely mean. Had a hard time playing it in ladder, but really fun to play and I probably won more matches via scoop then from actually face-slamming my opponent.
This is why I play Deafening Clarion and Scorching Dragonfire in my deck.
26:34 CovertGoes2x... And it works!
Funny and entertaining as always
CGB, what do you think about Robber of the Richs in this archetype variation including Lurrus
Robber works best in this deck mostly by being a target for removal I have found. It gets you card advantage and can be a clutch early on if you open with it in hand or mull to it, and can wreck mirror matches, but other than that main decking it over something else is not a good play IMO. Plus it just ends up being a body for Fiend Artisan when you find you need a Cat or a Devil or a Priest.
Your profile image is too old..no one has that pfp anymore
26:30 I actually watch on 1.5x speed, so it still sounds funny.
My only suggestion is that you fit in a few kroxas into the deck. It is a really good card with both lurrus, call of the death dweller and priest of forgotten gods
does call bring back the 6/6 kroxas?
Judith and weaponize the monsters are nuts for me, lol
Cat/oven is the absolute worst thing to play, play against or watch play.
Jeffrey Culley I still prefer it over Winota or the old jeskai fires. Not by very much, though.
I disagree. Jeskai Control is the worst thing because games take an eternity. At least with cat oven decks the matches are usually over by turn 10.
That selesnya player was a good sport LOL
The current Azorious control deck is what happens when you have 2 or 3 overpowered/broken cards. This deck is what happens when you have 5+ slightly op cards.
26:42 it worked!
Tried including Fiend artisan? Could fetch devil or priest when needed...besides fueling the sacrifice...
Hey Big Guy I would really like to see you post your most liked Deck. Also your thoughts on the new Core 2021 coming out.
Hey man I've been experimenting with my own Sacrifice decks. Started with the normal Jund, switched to Rakdos myself but now am experimenting with Mardu as I had been looking at cruel celebrant and just felt like it was begging for a sacrifice deck. I'm still messing around with it, but if you are still looking for other options this could be a road to try.
I stared at the title for a second and my tired brain went "THE BEST BOI" and I thought the dog tribal came out.
Interesting deck, I would cut at least 2-3 "Call" seeing you're dabbling with MB Lurrus, but yes this deck has been on top of the mountain for a hot min, just a solid archetype.
WOAAAhhh Strida!
Every, single, cast
I was playing rakdos sacrifice one day , kroxa in hand , opponent had hushbringer , then ....... y'all know what will happen
I run a couple blight beetles, just to keep that Nissa situation under control.
I have all the cards in This deck except fabled which is a huge land for the deck need to start getting some rare wildcards
Today I reach Diamond with my own versión of this deck. It's kinda funny to see really expensive decks being beaten up by a budget rakdos sacrifice
"hear comes the oven stuff...."
Hi CGB, I really enjoy your videos. I ask myself if you buy booster packs or if you play for getting gold? I really struggle with this healers hawk budget deck to get some gold, but it’s a real pain in the ass.. :D
The 2x speed cat-oven actually sounded ok
Lord almighty that deck is brutal. It's so fun to play, but dear god is it a pain to play against. It can hit in unexpected ways that just leave you thinking "wtf just happened here?", the meta will probably shift around this deck, and I can't wait to see what comes up to face it (just hope it isn't temur rec, I'm so tired of it).
Deck can be absolutely brutal.
