This deck is beyond insane. I playested it against a few of my upper tier standard decks, and it stomped face. I plan on taking it to FNM for the next few weeks. I'd recommend dropping the Gnarlid for Pale Rider of Trostad. I'd also consider upping the Alms counts, but I haven't tested enough to know what to remove for them. Either way this deck is brutally efficient. I love it.

[@bigpapasmurf3359]

I'm digging this deck! I grabbed it for $5.70 after taking out what I had on hand AND that's with getting another playset of blossoming defense so I didn't have to swap them out of my other current standard deck. I'm a little over a month into mtg. and you're budget decks really help as I'm growing my collection. It's great to have a few affordable good decks to go to fnm with or play test my decks to see if I got the basics down on deck buildings. Thank you!

[@steelzepplin2012]

yes i remember suicide black like yesterday, first turn Dark Ritual = x3 one cost 2/2 creatures (or a Phyrexian Negator), or turn 2-->Dark Ritual into Dark Ritual into Hatred, take 20, gg. You got 50k subs coming no doubt, best mtg channel imho! I started when "The Dark" expansion released, I can tell you know the game and are an oldschool og mtg playa. Goonies bg music also nostalgic. Good stuff, good times Dev.

[@rodrigosousa6820]

you are my favorite mtg channel! seriously a genius here guys!! thumbs up!!

[@squshyloopeh89]

The Professor was right. You need more subs. Love the videos man keep it up!

[@brandenadams701]

A pretty solid deck went up against red Black aggro went pretty nicely turn 1 took out an inventors apprentice with dead weight, played a noose constrictor down, opponent tried to smuggler copter loot into a fiery temper a blossoming defense on noose constrictor took care of copter and temper, the constrictors did a good job of discouraging attacks from him, i got the kessig prowler flip but he Disintegrated it, and I ended up going down to bloodhall priest but for an 8 dollar deck to take a tier 1 deck to game 3 and almost win is awesome I'll probably be building this irl.

[@keirak2545]

love your content! keep up the great work! magic newbie with kaladesh so i havent been able to build one of your decks yet, but i will eventually!

[@DauX0r]

Cool Policenauts/MGS style intro! :)

[@michaela71]

Subbed. Thank the Professor.

[@cosmicsaturday8030]

This deck got me 2nd place in standard showdown tonight, so thanks! It works great!

[@Grimm_HD]

Nice budget list looks pretty solid for $8 lol. As always great vid keep up the good work

[@aeksie]

I know you said you dont want taplands but what about evolving wilds for the landfall creatures?

[@aaronford8384]

simple sweet and to the point man liked this video and will watch more. Also will be building this for test and maybe can modify who knows. lol. happy playing man.

[@RyuHono]

i ran a GB with the almost the same elements but had more discard to enable the lupin prototype and a side theme of delirium. it worked pretty well

[@kanebenjamin497]

Looking to make a deck that my newer friends can play at Standard, and this is perfect. thank you, sir!!

[@pepecanetmarti171]

Thank you so much man, you saved my FNM. Greetings from Spain!

[@ribeye10000]

you're a baller and a champ. Thanks dev. Imma update you with a Jund list that's also aggro similar to yours but uses the Brawlers here pretty soon.

[@vvVENOMvv]

A suggestion I've had for a while now is for you to have a link or website or something where all the decks are rated so we can compare them and then you have the known decks from the field on there too so we get perspective on how they compare, another way to do this is after you analyse the top 8 of an event.

[@Ash.King.Y]

Nice work as usual. Thanks.

[@Relatista38]

I must admit that if I like a lot your ideas, I also desagree with some points in the build, but this time, if I build this one... Ill do it 100%

[@ericrothe3398]

I added Highspire Infusion, Greenbelt Rampager, Fleetwheel Cruiser, Aether Hub, and Blooming Marsh. I'd love some Grim Flayers in there but they're out of my price range. I spend my coin of the realm on Edh cards!

[@Gandhiji87]

I thought I couldn't build a standard deck because I didn't have the cards, turns out when I checked this deck out, I had almost all of them :-D

[@juicyjugo6187]

great video, I think you would benefit from playing games with these decks and making videos with the games like mtggoldfish. we always like seeing how these decks you create play out. also get some more sleep guy!!

[@billable1861]

Rossome SAUCE I agree some people need to see it played to understand the power

[@MillenniumDiceTV]

I'm a new subscriber and i love your content! Keep it up, dude!

[@mtgmight353]

Lumpyrox bushy-brows

[@edbeth1965]

I love building these tiny budget decks that I can give to my friends and something to play test mine with

[@gameboy4life621]

With a $10 deck in hand, Dev was ready to take on the universe

[@eirikastokes9652]

Turn 1: One swamp, lotus petal. Sac petal, tap swamp: Wall of Junk. Turn 2, play swamp. Tap, dark ritual, tap other swamp: Pestilence. Turn 3: Welcome to Hell.

[@TreefrogOriginal]

No pale rider of trostad to add with the madness theme? Seems pretty aggressively costed

[@legatenaarifin]

Was just thinking that, would perform better than Snapping, imo

[@stinkycheese1173]

cool deck! i hope you get 50k too! if you want more ideas for deck techs you could do artifact themed decks (mono black artifacts, mono white artifacts, mono green factory, izzet thopter combo etc)

[@jonathanlopez332]

why the hell isn't long tusk cub in this deck?!!

[@OrsusButcher]

It's expensive compared to the other cards

[@syxnyneonline]

regarding this card: Can you spend energy on +1+1 counters after blockers have been declared?

[@billable1861]

syxnyneonline yes

[@tempestandacomputer6951]

Which would you recommend picking up first, the $5 white weenie or this one? I'll probably get the white one first as I like the theme but I would like to hear your thoughts.

[@nomadkitties]

I just saw a deck very similar to this on Saffron Olive's Permeating Mass Against the Odds video.

[@coronerdeath5073]

Hey Dev. Would you do a servo/thopter token deck it has a lot of good pieces with chief of the foundry, master trinkteer, and angel of invention. thanks for all the great deck tech's.

[@UnitedWaySB]

Deck just came in from tcgplayer. Around $10 for sets of every card. Also you should include buy links for some extra income!

[@Mark-un1qo]

Hey SBMTG, have you thought of Biting Rain? It has madness so you can play it for instant speed for three. It would work in the sideboard.

[@wrathmcel]

Another great budget deck!! I know you take requests for builds sometimes, not sure if this is where to post it though. Could you build a deck centered around Harness the Storm?

[@creamreviews1607]

Just saw a version of this deck on mtggoldfish's Against the Odds playing against Saffron Olive.

[@neilguenter7037]

I want to see a mage-killer deck. I would like to see your take on killing planeswalkers. My local meta is so darn full of walkers, that I have trouble getting through them. Help!

[@VeronicaFernandez9109]

Perfect as usual! Keep it up D.

[@fatman09halo]

please more deck techs like this!

[@rpkb9937]

×4 harmless offering x4 madcap experiment x4 emurakul ×4 Chandra torch of defiance ×4 bedlam revler think you could do something with that?

[@benoitdenolle8351]

Why not Ghirapur orrery in sideboard? It helps for the longterm even if it is not were you want to go and anable more landfall to pump your dudes!

[@samuelwalker7925]

Great and helpful videos :-). I'm new to mtg and Kaladesh is my first series. Is there some great decks just using Kaladesh? I have pretty much a playset of all cards.

[@PeteAndGrimm]

you gotta put links on where to find all the cool jams you play! Looks like a great build for a beginning player

[@gromigur]

hey im coming back to magic after a long pause my question is where do you buy single i dont know any sites and sure my local gaming store also sells singles but extreme expensive

[@BigGuyLC]

Love the budget decks!!

[@Orangesarecool7]

What additions could you add to this if you were willing to spend a bit more? Thanks!

[@fiddlewheelx]

what about a deck that plays 3/2 eldrazi horrors? I want to combo that with second harvest. Got any good ideas for that?

[@jeroentju21]

hell yeah i test this deck love ur buget decks

[@ChrisPerrin]

I know this is a Kaladesh deck, but what about adding Naram Renegeade instead of Reaver Drone?

[@roofied_galahad1675]

what about using blisterpod or sludge crawler instead of reaver drone

[@youngstomach]

Why don't you build the deck online and list a link to buy directly? I would love to buy this but don't want to go to the trouble of looking up every card...

[@anderwubb_4560]

I was running a very similar list to this but using rush of vitality as a pump/protection shenanigan. What are your thoughts on the card in this deck? (also top end was mournwillow)

[@HeWhoSlayethCain]

Yeeeesh! I just started building this yesterday!

[@HeWhoSlayethCain]

Although I'm going a different route, using Syndicate Trafficker and Tireless Trackers.

[@Deminotaur]

you should check out his non budget G/B aggro

[@HeWhoSlayethCain]

isthis aname He's got one out? how'd I miss it?

[@tenacious_deadman5883]

so you desided to close the video with "im tap out". That phrase does add a nice touch to your vids. Was that a new shirt btw?

[@JeffMendoza]

Any good cards from AER for this deck? I bought it to play Standard Showdown. I've been looking at Narnam Renegade, Gifted Aetherborn, and Fatal Push. I hope Push comes down in price.

[@grimarchangel]

any chance of G/R/B agro? been running your G/R agro and my only problem is emrakul + marvel really.

[@cyrildescoursiere9060]

I think its time to invest in a good camera and a good microphone. Budget deck helps.

[@kanebenjamin497]

My friend built this and has been annihilating her roommate who's becoming discouraged -> suggestions on countering this deck? lol

[@NathanA-mk9ne]

Great deck Dev

[@skeetadel]

hey dev you think Autumnal Gloom would good in a GB delirium deck?

[@aaronchampion2270]

I love your cats!!!!🐱😻😼

[@johnjahnke9448]

Great budget deck .

[@stevenrankin6672]

any updates to this deck for aether revolt?

[@TheAustinacid]

hey dev could you do a suicide black deck tech preferably in modern or legacy ?

[@tammasdexter4291]

Yes I know suicide black :) some still play it in modern using deaths shadow as the big payoff

[@tammasdexter4291]

lots of fun :)

[@Gureiseion]

Suicide Black, sure, but I'm reminded more of Sligh here.

[@macabrederek9179]

Suicide Black! Gawd I miss that deck.

[@terrycthedrummer]

it'd be really cool if you could pick some of the decks each season and show some game play

[@binarycortex]

Suicide Black is still a thing in Pauper.

[@triliferate]

How do you feel about Midnight Oil for if you need a little more power later into the game? Or is still better to go all in on the early game?

[@hatcherp1393]

Midnight Oil is just bad

[@jordonwilliams4943]

Where could I go to buy these cards?

[@jeanmarais337]

Dev, I note very little card advantage. Am I missing something. The snake could be "virtual" CA, but all the spells are sooo cheep, you're topdecking by T5 right?

[@amarvajja8576]

I'm new to Magic can someone tell me how Long this deck will be good un tell it's circles out

[@tylerespinoza1282]

why not terrain elemental over gnarlid?

[@lessercrow]

which deck has the highest ranking so far

[@positivedennis]

While it would add to the cost, i would consider adding two hissing and take out two alms.

[@MonkeyDLuffy-xo6my]

Hissing?

[@RmaGdn2012]

What about Sludge Crawler instead of Reaver Drone?

[@MonkeyDLuffy-xo6my]

No

[@hexxtaco73]

You should do a dubious challenge deck

[@christaylor4087]

Ayy dig the shirt

[@BinarySecond]

Need full tracks of your music dude!!!

[@anewbus8283]

Abzan... Life?

[@BboyMino]

Do a b/w fabricate deck, I would love to see that :D

[@MrRancid1988]

MtGGoldfish did one

[@BboyMino]

Really? Thank you , going to check it out :D

[@MrRancid1988]

Bboy DeenTheLector no problem. it seems to work pretty well

[@emilium4482]

Can you give me ways to improve it? Money isn't too much a problem.

[@VoltaicBacklash]

Honestly, just throw in some money copter...

[@Ianoxen]

+ x4 blooming marsh, x4 grim flayer, x4 smugglers copter

[@Volrath64]

Yeeea Suicide Black was great

[@cestlasol]

I am very very new to magic so don't throw hate comments at me when I ask where do you buy them?

[@walkerstewart9147]

www.tcgplayer.com/

[@chrissimosley4898]

u rock Dev

[@NinthSettler]

Uhm, Mournwillow?

[@mikailirwan3717]

Nice SU shirt

[@SBGingy]

Just bought it today on TCGplayer for $7.99 (I already have the land so didn't need to buy them)

[@cjcrabapple1834]

Dev please do BLUE RED ELDRAZI CONTROL EASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I SUGGESTED IT FOR SO LONG

[@passedjudgements4729]

The eldrazi winter shall never end. Winter has come and it shall last forever! Izzit eldrazi control for the glory of the brood!

[@nilo8615]

no card suggestions??!!

[@koalad4941]

your running two land fall creatures so why not blighted woodland

[@dinosaurfilms7425]

No choo-choo train? :(

[@MonkeyDLuffy-xo6my]

Choo choo train?

[@dinosaurfilms7425]

Monkey D. Luffy renegade freighter

[@daltonfongemie6414]

suicide black yesss

[@joeynunez8147]

love dev, but netdecks are lame to yourmy with. cool for budgeting though.

[@pappymplays3273]

Instead of reaver drone why don't you run fretwork colony instead of reaver drone shure fretwork Colony costs two mana but you get something out of losing life ( at the beginning of your upkeep you lose one life. Put a 1/1 counter on fretwork colony) at least personally I think it's better

[@MonkeyDLuffy-xo6my]

Because it's slower and this is an aggro deck.

[@pansofos]

Suicide black yet lives in pauper

[@G4RR1SON]

$8 physical = $1.05 on MTGO (kappa)

[@jonathanjago3423]

first

[@christaylor4087]

Jonathan Jago first

[@jonathanjago3423]

Chris Taylor yeah boii
