Mtg: 5 Decks for $5 Each - ZNR Edition!

[@conrad03]

I am a huge fan of these 5 for 5 videos. Thank you for always remembering the budget crowd!

[@ds99212]

Thank you for this and for continuing to produce original deck content. Would love to see this as a reoccurring theme (5 for $5) with each standard set release.

[@BeardedLewis]

I made your enchantment deck from years ago and my friends still talk about that deck. Looks like it's time to do that again. You're the best.

[@tony48694]

Hey Dev, I just wanted you to know that you got me back into magic around the kaledesh block. And I have always loved your deck techs. I was wondering if since you’ve done all sorts of these deck techs for standard over the years, could you do some pioneer versions/upgrades to some of your deck techs over the years? I understand it won’t be on arena or anything but I love the deck techs you do. And it’s how I got hooked on your channel.

[@mattd3978]

Same, I didn't come to his channel as early as you. But I came here for the deck techs and have stayed for Dev, but still am a lover of the deck techs he puts out

[@aloyfranz388]

Two ideas for a future arena budget decktech: 1. Maybe an even higher focus on Wildcards in regards to cheap instead of their price tag? Just because of the known trouble of getting rare wildcards on Arena ^^" 2. Sideboards for the bo3 queues Anyway, these decks were super helpful, thank you very much!

[@tomwoolsey1089]

Bastion of Remembrance, Dev's throne of Eldraine preview

[@HalTuberman]

I caught this too. Dunno why, but a lot of content creators get almost any set confused with Throne of Eldraine. And it's always Throne of Eldraine. Bewildering but true.

[@elchingon12346]

I created a battlebox with your Ravnica 10 for 5 and I’ve gotten so many hours of fun from that battlebox with my kid brothers that I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work. These are going to make great additions to the battlebox

[@filthycasualmtg4665]

Happy holidays Dev, it's always good to see budget content. I might give the black deck a whirl on Arena later 👍

[@filthycasualmtg4665]

I'm happy to report that it works - kind of. I had to tweak it a little bit as the budget doesn't cut it but if you get four or five of the main combo pieces going it adds up very quickly. Of course I had to play against 3 life gain decks which I haven't seen for a while in the first 4 tries 🙄

[@fakeabemusic6559]

Much love from Detroit. Your knowledge is deep, but your focus is competitive fun, on the cheap. Fantastical!

[@mols556]

Thanks Dev! For that mono black deck, I took out the Whisper Squad, went to 4 copies of Archfiend's Vessel and added two copies of Vito. It was super sweet! Thank you for the template.

[@dalebotha9162]

Thanks for putting this together Dev. I appreciate your efforts! Excellent Video!

[@kyngkryss7250]

What's cool is Pre-Covid 19, I drafted every week. I have all of these uncommon and commons I don't use until your budget videos. The decks are great to play with your kids or casual fun.

[@ironviper72]

I love Quartzwood Crasher. Normally people don't read the card and let it through, then suddenly there are two of them!

[@jackpabich763]

Why no Shatterskull Charger for the Trample deck?` And why is there no Ram Through for the Trample deck? It seems like it is better than the other removal we are running in the deck. Also, Spikefield Hazard works incredibly well in prowess. I have 3 in both my standard and Historic izzet prowess decks. As for budget prowess, a card that I have found to be extremely underrated is Raking Claws. It can cycle for 2 at the very least, but its blowout potential is insane. If there is one thing I really want to say though, it is that I'm digging the hat! Thanks for this fun video, Dev! It's glad to see you making budget decks again. Happy Holidays and I hope you're staying safe!

[@mcmv6334]

I think it's because Shatterskull Charger is like a burn spell. This deck need creatures on the board. I agree I use Shatterskull Charger in mono red deck like a burn spell and then to kick it with 5 manas. It's an underratted card for me

[@jackpabich763]

@@mcmv6334 It gets around sorcery speed removal and works with the other trample effects well. But Ram through is probably the better choice for the budget.

[@vinnythewebsurfer]

Dev is a skater boy. He said see you later, boy.

[@hawktitan7896]

Triomes vs Temples. It wouldn't be a super long video but here's the simple breakdown of what it would be. In a two color deck it's basically preference. Scry vs Cycle is fairly comparable. One helps your early game, one helps your late game. Depending on your deck you might favor one over the other, but I would tend to prefer the early game scrying. The one thing that changes the equation is if you're running Castle lands of any sort. If there are Castles in your deck, run Triomes over Temples to help those lands come into play untapped. There may be other reasons to run Triomes, if land types matter. Dread Presence or Nissa who Shakes the World are cards that come to mind, but are no longer in current standard. Nothing immediately comes to mind in current Standard, but there may be something, and in older formats there are tons of more examples (check lands for instance).

[@blabik]

Recently i added Barrens to my monowhite. You can either go wide with Castle Ardenvale or tall with Barrens. This land is super strong, just the threat of activation makes opponents play suboptimally.

[@aloyfranz388]

I just got back into Arena (because of the Cube) and have eyed Constructed but I just can't justify spending a bunch of money on packs so this video is a true blessing, thank you so much! I still have a couple of Wildcards left and can craft one (or maybe two) of these decks, really makes my day ❤️

[@ashenwuss1651]

Much love, Dev. Happy holidays to all!

[@mefogus]

budget decks brought me here long ago and so it's great to see them make an appearance again. I tend to buy the $5 decks and have them around to play with my son.

[@Aezur20]

Haha, loving all the Dev characters. Last video was Samurai Dev. Now we have 90s Stoner Dev.

[@joshpickering5039]

Man this video is absolute Gold. Keep up the good work Dev you’re a blessing to the community 👌🏼

[@gavin_is_gavin6292]

Perfect! Been playing mtg arena, so I don't have any physical decks. But I am going to introduce a friend to mtg physically soon, and these will be perfect. I ordered 3 of them. (but they were much cheaper on card kingdom for me, maybe I don't know how to use tcgplayer, but it was going to order from a crazy amount of people, and I was going to pay through the nose in shipping) Thank you!

[@richardkeohane6679]

"The Himbo Hobo" 👌

[@kaidimino9858]

Bastion of Remembrance is a stellar card, and is an excellent “secret” tech in my Ghen, Arcane Weaver built around Pestillence; Bastion helps create a body to keep Pestillence and be able to activate it, can be recurred on rate, and helps boost my life to ensure when I fire off Pestillence I’ll survive. Keep up the great work. Edit: MY DUDE LOVES THE CONTROL sometimes you go through life, and come across people, and you’re like, “You- I like You” but you don’t know what it is. Sometimes when you hang in there, you might find out what it was. This was it for me

[@LillyVonT]

I think that was the first time you’ve said, “Gray Merchant of Asphodel” instead of Gary and I did a double take lol

[@Junksaint]

Very cool, I've been preoccupied as an older mtg player lol feel like I can chill and play magic now again

[@truniq6422]

Heyo the content for Christmas decks for friends :)

[@Will_Morand]

“And my Throne of Eldraine exclusive preview card” Shows card from Ikoria But joking aside, great video and great looking decks. Can’t wait to try some of them.

[@discobiscuits4251]

OooOo yeah first deck is the trample deck, I’m sold I love quartzwood crasher! I have been playing it with Garruks uprising and that 4/4 for 3 the Warden

[@nathanjacquart4395]

Love the Azorius deck. I built it and have been playing it on ranked. It's already beat Rogues twice.

[@KrepsyK]

This may be the best video of the year so far. I love these so much.

[@actual_catlady]

YAASSSSS FINALLY THE 5 FOR 5! thank you Dev from the actual_catlady! Happy Holidays!!

[@michaellebovitz2414]

sooooooooooo happy to see this! Super excited to try out a couple of these decks

[@starguardlux2874]

This is great, Dev! I'll see if I can build a deck or two!

[@gragsmash]

I just added 4 castle locthwains and a couple of murderous riders to the deck and it's been pretty good in free play. taking it to diamond standard now.

[@danielcolliver1993]

Love this video! Im always looking to make some super simple budget, fun decks akin to jumpstart to introduce people to different playstyles. Keep up the awesome work dev! Gonna look thru my collection and see what i already have and construct this little bundle battle box!

[@derrickzidak790]

Do more of these decks man one love dev

[@sagejackson6886]

I love these! Perfect to get new players into the game by making a 5 deck suite out of them

[@Identify0909]

you rock the hat dev ! happy to see the decks for 5 bucks return!

[@JavierOrtizBultron]

Would love to see non-budget versions of these decks

[@popanda9685]

Never clicked so hard

[@moisesmela5091]

As it turns out, all Dev needed to become the Hipster Prince of Hipsterland Harbor was a cool looking beanie

[@demidrek-heyward]

Great job Dev Gratz on 119k now let's get to 120 and to infinity!

[@guessthatsitthen4982]

Hey my mono black sacrifice deck made it into the 5$ decks. Loving it, if people are looking for upgrades lurrus and ayara are solid plays.

[@BluWoolify]

Love the idea of making these decks into a battle box

[@gardnereric10]

I love the budget decks! I want to go home today and make slightly more expensive versions of all these!

[@drewp9819]

These decks look like a lot of fun! And way better than $5 foot longs.

[@christophermccutcheon2143]

Just realised I'm trying to introduce friends to MTG and building these 5 decks might be a good way to do that...

[@TabooX1984]

Been a *loooooong* dang time man. Thanks. I may not be a patron but I appreciate your genius at work. 👍

[@jamesgleason2159]

As a poor magic player, thanks for this! Keep these budget decks coming!

[@discobiscuits4251]

Happy holidays Dev, getting Couch SBmTG is a great Christmas present !

[@PlutoO0]

By far my favourite kind of mtg vid

[@JonathanLinneman]

Love seeing one of these videos again!!

[@ronb792]

Dev, appreciate you year-round but want to thank you for this video. Have a Merry Christmas!

[@FrancisSpaghetti]

Nice video. Maybe include non-budget versions for those of us who have too many magic cards

[@pabis6817]

I feel like a 10 dollar budget deck tech is more than twice as good. But this is a great video!

[@samhaskins127]

Love these techs! All great & fun decks! Happy holidays & keep being awesome! 🎅

[@jays1de]

gud vid as usual; kutgw! i tried kargan intimidator in mono red, but found it middling as i would rather spend mana developing my board or hold up interaction. i think it would do work in a red-white warriors build though.

[@Puddleford]

Great Video, going to try some of these on arena right now! Merry Christmas!

[@dominicsevilla1189]

Dude ive been away from magic for a while and havent watched you for a while but man your vids look Nd sound great! Glad your still aroung providing amazing content still!

"Tramp-bal". Chef's kiss

[@willbegaming2455]

Omg Dev iv never seen your hair down bro. Looks good

[@StalkingLeopard]

I appreciate the suggestions and thanks for the video, but I tried out that black devotion deck and I gotta say...I have been having some very lackluster results with it on MTGA standard unranked play. Not worth crafting imo.

[@alexanderaloi5173]

[@ultra2019]

This series is one of my favorites, but I wouldn't buy these from TCG. Shipping will cost more than the sleeves let alone the decks. Can we get a Card Kingdom link? That does feel dirty though. Yet again, my LGS is closed right now.

can someone suggest me a good budget deck that beats control yorion.... that is the deck everyone is playing in my league... thanks

[@JavierOrtizBultron]

I love most of your decks but they are a pain to export into Arena. So far I've been only able by manually creating them, which is a pain.

[@adamhall1340]

Dev, love your work. Keep it up! #backtotheponytail

[@suntzuking]

how come after just a few days these decks cost between 25 and 35 dollars? I was really thinking of forcing my flatmates into magic this Christmas :) but I think I'll pass

[@BrianVespucci]

i know these are cheap on paper. But its a bit rough on Arena. The first 3 cards alone have 7 rares

[@lucasfigueroa6165]

I would like "cheap" Arena decks. DEcks that require no rares, and maybe a few mythics

[@guessthatsitthen4982]

@@lucasfigueroa6165 you should play formats other than standard then. Honestly standard budget is fine, as someone who's played budget decks for years and done well it's because of the rares. Even though they're cheaper than most other rares they're also usually the powerful effects on them that hold the deck together. I don't remember the format name but theres a format for decks with just commons and uncommons, you may want to try that.

[@lucasfigueroa6165]

@@guessthatsitthen4982 Artisan. But there's no artisan queue. People have requested for it, but is a big no-no for WotC

[@guessthatsitthen4982]

@@lucasfigueroa6165 idk it pops up every now and then. There aren't artisan events like the standard/historic ones? Well we all know wotc is money hungry and will screw us over with cards like omnath or oko in every set. So I can see why they wouldn't have it. Makes it easier to accumulate cards for other formats and less money they make.
