Mtg Budget Deck Tech: $25 Poison Arrows in Aether Revolt Standard!

[@ronanlambert-hill2875]

Holy shit man you happen to be the most consistent mtg youtuber when it comes to uploads. Thanks, keep it up

[@TastySnackies]

Dead Weight and Evolving Wilds have further synergy with Narnam Renegade's revolt trigger. You didn't say anything, so I'd figure I mention it :)

[@LycanLuisvods]

W/B midrange! I loved the eldrazi version you had a few months ago and I would love to see your new ideas

[@grahamastor4194]

Great way to leverage Deathtouch! And thanks for the upgrades, as a subscriber and follower of you deck brews I have quite a few "extras" available to use as upgrades to these fun budget decks.

[@justinmeneses9109]

You're my fave MTG KZbinr, thank you for the quality content and just being an awesome person

[@SuperSayian3000]

Been away from the game for a while and your content really helps. Much appreciated

[@TheoFrastB]

Loving your upgrade suggestions for a bigger budget! keep up beeing the best mtg youtuber :D

[@TheAnanaki]

I think I like Dead Weight over Fatal Push even in the upgraded version. Like you said yourself it is ideally early game removal and the cost is even. DW has the advantage of being a 6th card type and one that can easily trigger delirium for our Dryads. Push does have it's advantages too. I'll have to tinker with it myself to see what works best for me. Once again a huge thanks for all the brews you share with us.

[@AuBuI2n]

thanks for all the entertainment you provide! Keep up the hard work!

[@andrewpotasnak7258]

Love your stuff Dev! A hidden stockpile deck would be super awesome to see. Keep up the good work

[@richardoaks8333]

Frog's music at the end was a cool choice for a deck featuring Gitrog Monster! Great deck idea!

[@phillipmeade7640]

I love this deck I'm taking it to FNM. I love it so much I wish this video came out on Wednesday so I could have gotten the cards for this week. Keep up the great work DEV.

[@alanwinters4691]

grixis tower. id be interested to compare it to my list

[@ericcolbenson5585]

Awesome, just awesome. I love being able to make fun decks with cards I have just lying around not doing anything.

[@MarkDeibert]

No offense to Professor, love him a lot, but Dev is the best Mtg personality on KZbin. Yes, you would watch him read from the dictionary because he'd make that fun some how. Definitely love the budget decks Dev, but please always, always, always include your thoughts on the unlimited budget upgrades for those who can and want to do that. This one has those upgrades above but I don't think all do :-)

[@wizardsmix7961]

Mark Deibert what about Des?

[@MarkDeibert]

Desolator?

[@championaaron-h8u]

you should do jeskai control without cat combo!

[@TastySnackies]

W/B MIDRANGE!

[@Ifeno]

Still holding out for Aetherborn Tribal. ;-;

[@Trevorious2010]

Ifeno The Mana Source did a Aetherborn tribal deck tech, but ya, I'd love to hear SB MTG's take on it!

[@andrewmarinkovich8657]

I agree with you about Gonti. I'm working on a Panharmonicon blink deck that centers around Gonti because I enjoy playing with it and stealing my opponents cards. I'd like to see you build a deck that abuses Gonti's abilities just to see what you come up with. Also, the BW midrange deck sounds cool so I vote for that one. Thanks!

[@ArchonTimatron]

I was looking at the Arrows a few days ago. Thanks for showing me this.

[@Madjas00]

I recently put together a modern version of the Poison Arrow deck. It uses the card Viridian Longbow which is so much better than the card Pathway Arrows. It cost 3 to equip but you don't have to pay any mana to activate the ability which makes it way more mana efficient than Pathway Arrows. People hate the deck because once I get Viridian Longbow on a creature it's pretty much over for them. It's such a dirty deck and I love it. Also Glissa, The Traitor is one of my favorite cards of all time.

[@briarshard2871]

Madjas could you share your list with me? I'm doing something similar now and I could use some inspiration, thanks

[@andrewfornes136]

Max Plauterman busted out laughing at that point.

[@scholtzspider]

Max Plauterman I totally missed that :'D

[@Lavalot]

I'd really love to see a redo of aetherflux cheerios. With Ornithopter and Sram now in Standard I feel like it might play better or at least differently, maybe add in a Inspiring Statuary for 1 mana Paradoxial Outcome.

[@photohound4793]

Very nice idea! Love your decks, keep it up!

[@narfidy444]

I'd love to see when you do budget decks like this, also do a super sikey, non budget version just for fun. it would be sweet to see how far you can take budget decks

[@joejaboy]

I love the deathtouch ping archetype. I've been in love with it since soulbond and nightshade peddler.

[@Rangersly]

Cool and fun budget deck! good job Dev!

[@GHOSTMAN262]

I recently discovered your channel. It's what I've been looking for, for a long time. Not sure how I didn't find it sooner. I was wondering if you could revisit the Hedron alignment deck. Just feels like a good time to do so. Please please please!!!!! Thanks for all you do bro and keep it coming.

[@martinolsen7183]

That was a surprise to see this one again :). Great one

[@johnc6497]

I swear you're the king of budget MTG ha

[@gemofmagic9436]

This is great. Dev, you should get a twitter so I can @ you when I share your awesome videos!

[@TheEmmaHouli]

DEV! you have no Idea how much I missed playing with my posin arrows deck!!!!!

[@jeffronas9122]

I really like your videos, and I don't usually comment. But I got excited when you said BW Midrange because I was playing with that idea too and would like to see your thoughts on it. I haven't seen the idea anywhere else. Thank you.

[@andrewtierney1218]

Grixis dynavolt tower! White black midrange sounds pretty sweet too!

[@shoestring413]

I'm a new subscriber and really enjoy watching your videos. There is a format that very few touch on and its Kitchen Table casual! I'm sure I'm not the only one with a small group of people who just like playing fun decks around a table in multiplayer style. Most deck techs are solely for straight up one on one and with one format in mind (usually standard or modern). Building decks to survive in this style of game play is rather difficult. We don't use sideboards so you must try and cater each deck you build to withstand a multitude of strategies. Is there any chance you could do a couple videos on some fun synergistic type decks where there are no banned cards and would still hold its ground in a multiplayer format? I've recently used some of your deck ideas and tried building them with some older more powerful synergies to work in our style of play. either way thanks for doing what you do and putting out all the great videos.

[@ThatFrogGuy]

Finally the Gitrog is back!!! All hail the mighty frog!

[@steadylynx1]

I like the shout out music to BBD. I would like to see a deck on inspiring statuary. I've been messing with a brew of cheerios, statuary, improvise & eldrazi. It feels like there could be something there, but what I don't know. Dev can you come up with something?

[@joshgooding3273]

yes to the Grixis Dynavolt Tower

[@alexanderlea1820]

I've built my own W/B midrange deck and it's been performing pretty well. I'm interested to see your list.

[@adamgrotto8163]

My friend has a black/white kill control deck that he has had through many rotations. He just takes out stuff that rotates and puts in the best removal in black and white from each new set... I call the deck "Evil Stepmother" because it just makes you feel bad about yourself and it doesn't let you have any fun.... I'd like to see your take on black/white, Dev.

[@aleckwright1607]

I am so down with grixis dynavolt tower control! I've been toying with my own list and I want to see your take on the deck

[@dshumway0724]

I think you are onto something with death touchers. Combining with instant blinks is interesting answer to fatal push/shock effects. Mass untap abilities recently printed also make death touch an unexpected answer to current meta

[@llLastll01]

well that's a fun idea. eager to see what you came up with for white black?

[@dshumway0724]

I see potential for a ramp deck with Gitrog, Mina and Denn, and Omnath. Toss in some sacrificeable lands for ramp and card draw. Lots of sac outlets just printed for omnath tokens. I think they planned on current set cards not being available with BFZ cards. Many decks have low p/t removal

[@andyfoster4236]

"Hello Julie, where ya been?" needs to be the channel slogan!

[@SmugLookingBarrel]

I think you should really be running Abzan, (White/Black/Green), which gives you access to another cheap deathtoucher in Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, but more importantly gives you access to Open the Armory, which is another 4 copies of pathway arrows. Also, I think Clear Shot is better than Nature's Way. Yeah, it costs one more, but being an instant is massive.

[@robbm06]

Dhund operative was one of my favorite fillers when I drafted w/b fabricate kaladesh decks

[@onewingace]

thanks for the upgrades list dev!

[@loganhurkens7971]

I've made a fairly simmilar deck, have got push, and marsh, but I also play 2 kalitas, because there is so much synergy. I don't play the snake that can gain deathtouch, and in its place I play aether poisoner. also a few rabid bite are nice to have too. What are your opinions on clear shot?

[@markknowles3567]

Hi random people scrolling through the comments lets all chat about Devi awesomeness and t-shirts

[@TeshnosFire]

He's pretty cool.

[@2kylesmith]

i was coming here to say that

[@scholtzspider]

Mark Knowles Total man crush

[@gemofmagic9436]

omg yes, his T-shirt last video :D

[@danielrudge9505]

JELLYIES

[@sorenunderdahl6853]

You made me rethink drunk operative and I am left thinking that it is very good.

[@Gaminggroupknight]

I can't wait to try this deck!!!

[@loganhurkens7971]

[@prufrock1977]

This is a really fun deck to play!

[@justinth2120]

It's not being used correctly

[@Mihangelion]

Do you see any additions into this that would make it a viable option at FNM? Love the deck techs :)

[@azelight7931]

I'd like to see that W/B midrange, but why is no one talking about Cataclysmic Gearhulk anymore, it's still a solid board wipe that leaves you a creature and the hulk? I've seen one deck play it and that's it.

[@JumungesJones]

love the Deck keep up the good work

[@Chris-Collectible]

I really starting to like this deck idea a lot now

[@mcmtg26]

love your vids! keep up the great work. can we get a current r/b standard deck with Kaladesh block being out?

[@Skyhighjettalone]

One relevant interaction with pathway arrows he didn't mention is that Ulamog, while not able to be destroyed will be held in stasis essentially, unable to attack and get its 20 card mill.....provided they don't exile the arrows with the cast trigger.

[@jamesh3267]

Malakir Familiar is a nice addition to the main or sideboard...

[@Justdifferent666]

can you also give us your testing records?

[@xanderfedewa1803]

There are many other 1 drop deathtouch, such as typhoid rats, sedge scorpion and many others.

[@gagegriffin8631]

White Black Midrange would be fun! And Esper would be awesome too

[@volkerheilig4501]

Thanks for your videos, good information even for a beginner like me in mtg :)

[@spencer8857]

Lets see white black mid range!!! Would love to see what you have cooked up

[@pirateshaman]

This deck seems really fun, the only thing i would take out now are the arrows :)

[@michaeltan2660]

Hey Dev try out UB zombies with metallic mimic! Especially now that voldaren pariah is so good

[@SaintedPIacebo]

To save money just play deathcap cultivator instead of the blooming marsh. it has conditional deathtouch so it is on theme and it also ramps us with green or black mana.

[@scholtzspider]

Esper aggro would be sweet, but that B/W Midrange would be cool to see as well.

[@level2noob317]

Opening with some Bel Biv Devoe, well played.

[@jundullah13zh]

permeating mass would be so much fun

[@DS4orty2wo]

What do you think about putting malakir familiar in the deck? Idk what you would take out tho. It's not that great with a 2/1 for 3 mana but it has flying and deathtouch. Also would go great with gifted aetherborn with the lifelink.

[@Treaxvour]

This looks really fun!

[@othellosmistake]

This gets my inner pauper brewer going. "Lavamancer's Skill" could work. I'm open to ideas.

[@lucasmoulden4335]

I think it's funny that Narnham rhymes with Yharnam, which is the city from Bloodborne, and all the creatures in the deck have deathtouch. Just a nerdy thing I noticed.

[@2kylesmith]

I think you should have considered going growth +4+4 over nature's way because it looks like this deck will have problems dealing out a lot of damage to the opponent. A growth or two would let you really bring their health down even if they just let a 1/1 creature through because of not wanting to lose a creature to death touch.

[@SuperRedmerlin]

How do you have 4 Nature's way in the main deck and another 2 in the sideboard? Haha but besides that, great deck!

[@SBMTG]

That's supposed to be natural state in the board

[@XxFEENOMxX31]

hey Dev! what about retreat to hagra in combination with walking ballista???

[@SBMTG]

Ha! I hadn't thought of that. That's clever

[@Porkchopnchief]

Strictly Better MtG how do you do your ranking system?

[@andrewcross1468]

Yes please! WB mid range. Used to love WB control, but never got it to fire after Origins rotated :(

[@ronneyd7205]

White/Black please!! Awesome video

[@Chris-Collectible]

I'm for sure trying this deck out with the set amonkhet

[@moebiuseight7977]

you have 4 natures way in the main and 2 in the side. i cut 2 main and added 2 grasp of darkness myself

[@Arghore]

Still hoping for G/W - recursion revolt ... with the renegade and the treasure keeper ... otherwise i don't mind to much, like w/e you do apparently ^^

[@VeronicaFernandez9109]

[@VeronicaFernandez9109]

Also Id like to mention that I love the flavor of this deck. Feels so good and powerful to be like "Yep your dead". I'm def gunna give this one a try. Thx Dev! Now I'm tapped out.

[@Cosporcos-Q]

The last version of this deck was when I started watching you, so, happy 1 year anniversary?

[@superdino196696]

i know gifted aetherborn is quite a bit better, but aether poisoner could still be an option, correct?

[@SBMTG]

Absolutely. You could play it over Dhund Operative too, if you'd like

[@superdino196696]

well the poisoner can spit out a servo to turn on the operative, so that's why o was think the aetherborn, maybe the cobra?

[@XavierRushlau]

Taking into account the double black on the gifted (a problem with the mana base as you said in the video), I'd consider making a split with 2 cards of each of the 3 of them

[@chrisgallo2236]

How about Malakir familiar as well? If you throw the arrows on gifted Aetherborn it'll deal the one damage to kill a creature and gain you a life with lifelink meaning the familiar could be a 3/2 flier with deathtouch. Not too bad.

[@XavierRushlau]

Chris Gallo It'a a bit expensive for this deck. But it doea sinergize well. maybe it's better than some of the 3-drops there is (can't see the list now)

[@guitarherogod200]

had to reupload it? i got notified a few hours ago you posted this

[@kirkperez7947]

may I suggest that at the end of the video, could you recommend upgrades in general...i know these are "budgets" but if you had the money to make it however you want, what would you upgrade?? Or release a video thats nonbudget version of the decks you release as budgets.

[@th3on3thatb3atu]

kirk perez He usually does this but with a deck like this, you're not really going for something super competitive.

[@kirkperez7947]

I understand.

[@absolumx6676]

what you think about balista and retreat to hagra? im looking to make this deck more competitive as i played the version Dev made and its very good againts all the creature based deck in my meta

[@ashadeofnight]

White/black midrange please Dev! You know you love Orzhov!!!

[@angelabender4279]

Any edits you would make now that Amonkhet is out?

[@chillydog5191]

Dope man great videos!

[@mtgdove400]

Hi played this deck on xmage really fun deck. Hey Dev can you please update the red/green burn deck for standard.

[@DaltonsComedy]

I like this deck but it seems like you should throw Lost Legacy on SB to aim for boarded in artifact removal.

[@chrisspears9023]

love the upgrades added thank you!

[@capnyoungs6896]

does the same mechanic work with lifelink?

[@KyleScott6984]

I laughed at that intro, good job haha

[@OlMookieStick]

cathar's shield.... another artifact, vigilance, and pretty much makes it so your creatures can block anything and survive.

[@johnevers1498]

definitely do white black midrange. I've wanted to see something that can run herald of anguish without running trash artifacts.
