Mtg Deck Tech: Abzan Delirium in Amonkhet Standard!

[@SBMTG]

It's Concealed Courtyard, for anyone who's asking. There's always one little thing (v_v)

[@gonzalomb5026]

Lord of the Undead? :P

[@travisgatchell5986]

Completely different card. I'm Dev is referring to Lord of the Accursed.

[@DragonkingOmaga69]

Strictly Better MtG I got a deck challenge for you. Can you build a competitive jeskai embalm deck for standard?

[@jiezhangjzmobee8102]

That's an interesting concept! Nothing beats floating mummies with vigilance! LOL

[@mtgdove400]

Hey need some help this deck just dies to control any suggestions ?.

[@patrickisinen9818]

Hey Dev, I know you sometimes go over an in depth sideboard plan for each deck in the same video, and that's a big help to someone like me that's relatively new to the game, to understand exactly what to side in and take out and why. Just a suggestion but maybe once/twice a week you could make a Sideboard "series" where you go over 2-3 deck from that week's sideboard plan in detail and discuss strategies and maybe toss in some broad tips and tricks with your vast experience. Would be cool for players like myself and maybe intermediate players can learn a thing or two as well. Also this deck looks sweet, and I've been a subscriber before you even had 20k subs, keep on doing your thing!

[@leebegin4168]

Yessssssss!!!! Someone finally brought this deck I've been asking for to life! Dev you're honestly the best

[@nerobalboa5191]

big red!!

[@lollylegsgruff]

Yeah man dev I love your stuff I'd love to see you pilot these decks!

[@Grimm_HD]

I vote mono color double deck tech because I want to see both lol. This deck is amazing, Abzan is my favorite colors lol. Definitely love ur take on it, great work as always Dev keep it up.

[@FluffyFractalshard]

that beat is so sick!!! man you got some decent soundmakingskillz!

[@foyomo]

Nice work homie! Finally a new take on abzan that's actually competitive AND fun. I've alrdy sleeved up and started testing and marvel really isn't a problem at all post-board. Also, loving dec in stone on all those damn zombie tokens!!! Save cast out for ulamog. Cheers!

[@gstark89]

Always a fan of Mono Red. looking forward to that one more even though im also a fan of mono white. just built your G/U Nissa deck (with some changes) so it would be cool to have one of my favorite deck types (Mono Red) as a back up plan

[@TheRichardson711]

That's a sweet beat at the start. I picture it over an old school fighting game.

[@jrf185]

Search for Rapzan on KZbin. He rapped a whole abzan deck tech. It's awesome and that's where the beat is from :)

[@seankettle71]

Nice first! Good job Dev

[@jacem4925]

Would love to see the Mono red. We've got someone at my LGS playing Mono-White Good Stuff and it is amazing.

[@michaelatkinson88]

Devvvvvvv! Deck tech time!

[@HellBentHitman]

why no concealed courtyard and no kalitas in the side against zombies? Did he betray you!?

[@HellBentHitman]

I see concealed in the written part and corrupted in the video. I assume concealed courtyard is the correct one. What about Kalitas tho???? He's always been a favorite of mine. And opinion on Lost legacy against new perspectives????

[@brocpage4204]

he accidentally typed corrupted crossroads instead of concealed courtyard in the video

[@vaychow4243]

great job dev. Manage 2nd place in my local game store gameday with this deck! thanks

[@567thatoneguy]

Do big red. It sounds like the kind of deck that has dragons, and everyone loves dragons.

[@grizzlymanverneteil4443]

We never should have trusted you.

[@nerobalboa5191]

much love for this deck!!

[@johncradduck1200]

Dev, you should design a Jund Gitrog monster deck again but put in the cycle lands. The flavor is all there! I made it today and will be taking it to Friday night magic this week!

[@luckysoda2]

I like the sound of Big White

[@bryanjortiz-serrano5775]

I wanna know what are the cards in white but I want a big red deck. Love the deck

[@grymgungus3933]

you really put me between a rock and a hard place with the deck choice this week but I'm going to go with big white hope for some meld shenanigans. But it will be sad missing Goblin Dark Dwellers.

[@mercilessjutsu]

I want to see the big red deck. thanks Dev. 😁

[@MrofficalA]

love your work mate

[@mtgdove400]

any control deck counters this deck with ease. any suggestions ?.

[@Type2Mound]

looks awesome man!

[@moejarkle]

Big Red! Cheers

[@ivanconnor9564]

was that a streets of rage sample in the beginning?

[@nathansanford4333]

You should revisit grixis tower. I just won my game day with it. I had to go through 3 top tier zombie builds to do it. I did main board 2 sweltering sons tho, with a 3rd in the side. Zombies had no chance against it.

[@davidma6616]

BIG WHITE! Hoping to see some angels!

[@mikematthews425]

There is a deck that I still believe has some real power that was going to happen on this channel in I think ENM standard but I think you should do eldrazi displaced gearhulks. BTW Big red

[@sugggur]

Hi Dev. Patron here. Thanx for that. Please could you look into Mono Red Thief? Ive strung one up that im finding very effective against the zombos. Oh yes...big white on the next one pls

[@plexuskin]

i would love to a deck based off of your aether revolt r/b control...maybe a jund mid/ control...i need advice.

[@rjlarose5271]

Big Red Sounds fun to me!

[@elliottguido8911]

i still think that green white cats would be fun!

[@FoxyWoxy]

Would love to see mono red :) burn , RDW, or big red

[@W1Robur]

How do you get the power/speed/consistency/etc. ratings?

[@KhordLizardMage]

Big Red, a favorite flavor of gum!

[@Nersuhl]

Big Red! i guess sweltering suns and goblin DDs would be neat

[@houseofshadow6380]

This deck looks nuts. 🖒

[@azatheunholy]

love the intro tune =D

[@АлександрМиранович-п9с]

Are you participating in those MTG tournaments?

[@danielhenderson6019]

Why no Heart of Kiran with all of those planeswalkers?

[@jasoncole316]

You should do a temur midrange

[@Unknown-hk1cg]

"Anointed Procession will never see competetive play" - Dev, 2017 Not trying to BM. Just find it kinda funny. I still support you and your vids. Fav mtg KZbinr :-D . Keep up the good work!

[@SBMTG]

I knew I would get this comment XD

[@Unknown-hk1cg]

Strictly Better MtG Specifically from me as I mentioned that it seemed good on the spoiler vid? Or just in general.

[@SBMTG]

Oh I figured there would be at least a half-dozen people or so who would nail me on it

[@gilbertanthonybedia7518]

Strictly Better MtG, hey dev love your channel but do you mean Lord of the accursed? because you kept saying Lord of the undead

[@Unknown-hk1cg]

Gilbert Anthony Bedia Yes, he does.

[@skittlestheblightdragon1158]

love the end song

[@mahavemann]

We enjoy magic quite a bit... CAN'T BE THROWIN EMOTIONAL CURVEBALLS LIKE THAT DEV

[@JJpowerjj]

Why not Pick the Brain?

[@mbrown4698]

this comment doesnt have anything to do with the deck. just starting out in magic and was wondering your opinion on a combo im thinking off. it would revolve around noxious gearhulks etb ability. then copying it a bunch with panharmonicon, saheeli, saheelis artistry and vizier of many faces. has anyone tried anything like this, do you think it will be any good or is it just too much mana. any help would be appreciated thanks

[@ryderigo694]

Hey dev have you noticed that eldritch moon and shadows rotate the same time that bfz does?

[@SBMTG]

Yes, but that's still half a year from now. Lots of time

[@ryderigo694]

Strictly Better MtG okay just wondering because I haven't seen anybody talk about that

[@nowieprudente1712]

Abzan counters?

[@grandadmiralthrawn8206]

Budget please?

[@icedcoffee2279]

I was hoping there was a certain stupid frog in the deck :/

[@TheOrian34]

not good enough for standard, sadly.

[@Fawnko]

With Cast Out can you do the cycling as a flash or is that already instant speed?

[@YoungFire17]

Fawnko Cycling is an ability, and abilities can be activated at instant speed.

[@eating_a_cookie]

Cycling is always instant-speed

[@Fawnko]

Thanks guys

[@phillipstevens8937]

do big mono of all 5 decks in one video!

[@KADAMASOUL]

Haven't played mtg in years? welcome back you need around $300-$400 if you want to play

[@VeronicaFernandez9109]

How is NObody freaking out about how bad-ass Mr. Bolas looks on Dispossess?? I can't wait to see his card in HOD... Don't do me dirty wizards! Who's with me? Hi Dev!

[@darkchiron]

People at my LGS are trying to stir the rumor mill that he'll be a 5-color planeswalker. The hype around him is real and I hope WotC does him right. Plus I'm pretty sure that's not Nicol Bolas, but is the Archfiend of Ifnir, as seen in this image: www.artofmtg.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Archfiend-of-Ifnir-Promo-MtG-Art.jpg

[@VeronicaFernandez9109]

Touche... At the very least Mr. Ifnir must be cosplaying Nicol Bro right? Thx for the insight.

[@chasezimmerman105]

Veronica Fernandez that is not bolas. That's the archfiend of ifnir.

[@chasezimmerman105]

I can see how the mistake can be made tho

[@drkwolf9852]

could I submit a dentist to you guys for review and see what you think?

[@phillipstevens8937]

Andrew Frost submit a dentist? what's wrong with Devs pearly white?!

[@drkwolf9852]

lol sorry decklist.

[@leoskucera3655]

Interesting that theres no Dissenters Deliverance in 75. Sure, they get usually one free spin but I am really not a fan of Disposses. Marvel decks can play as normal midrange decks even without Aetherworks. Can someone convince me that Disposses is good?

[@Aeroreido]

jund hapatra / Soulscar mage would be awesome

[@crystalivey760]

Def... Big red!!

[@meekrab124]

Can I vote "Big Black"? :'(

[@ccsquared2442]

Big Red. my wife's favorite color to play.

[@victordou1138]

How do you test dev?

[@Unknown-hk1cg]

Victor Dou I'm not Dev, but I'd assume mtgo

[@SBMTG]

Proxies and XMage, mostly

[@SBMTG]

Well, Cockatrice mostly now

[@victordou1138]

did some super cool youtuber just reply to my comment OOOOOOOO

[@scholtzspider]

Big Red!

[@dantrick7216]

Big White for the next please Dev :)

[@joecooper8527]

I think I was correct in my comment from last video (rw embalm deck tech). Geez this deck must be expensive.

[@crystalcook9317]

Go big red!!

[@elitheworrywort]

why do abzan when you can do jund though

[@Demosthenes6666]

The payoffs are Gideon and Cast Out, which is pretty sick.

[@elitheworrywort]

I didn't mean that from a playability standpoint, I just love jund as a color combination. (it also happens to the be color combo that I have the most duels for)

[@bryanjortiz-serrano5775]

ScarletW don't forget Unmaking which is pretty good against Marvel and their Ulamogs and some problematic cards like gideon of the trails with an emblem out

[@eating_a_cookie]

Because white has bigger payoffs than red. White has beefslab while red has chandra. White has the enchantments, they are pretty equal in terms of boardwipes. White is just better in standard with this specific strategy. Also if you want a jund deck, I made a standard modern jund deck, in which you take all the modern jund cards and replace them with their standard equivalent. You would be surprised how close you'll get

[@cicjose6016]

you cant play red removal in this standard, shock is red's best unconditional removal spell that is in red, galvanic bombardment needs a playset and is rubbish in the mid game, electrify is too expensive as is flamelash and welding sparks needs artifacts

[@xXDeathWaveXx1000]

Big red let them burn

[@rachelfrew8596]

Big RED!!

[@airsoftkombat]

dude, Rap your next deck tech kinda like you did with the old Abzan list. that's true original "Dev" flavor

[@tenebrisignis9976]

I was thinking..... abzan hyper fog. using all the standard fogs. Gideons interventions to perma stop. and walkers for victory

[@SHADOWCLOUDGAMING]

RED!!!!

[@moonlightgraham5787]

Dev the Ruler

[@jamaigar]

MONORED, MONORED, MONORED, YEAH BEIBI

[@TheHohnstn]

BIG RED!!!

[@darkkitsune7757]

Big RED !!!!!!

[@JackGamesTooMuch]

Big White please, Dev!

DELIRIUM YESSSSSS

[@e5205]

Big. Red. please i've been waiting since glorybringer was spoiled

[@captainswagflag5943]

I Played a abzan control deck on the gameday today went 3 1 swiss then top 4 3/0

[@carlosizquierdo2076]

Angel of Sanctums > Noxious Gearhulk = can exile Ulamog, flying instaed of menace and embalm...

[@shorewall]

Good points. I think he leaned Gearhulk for the Delirium.

[@Yurikan]

The irony is... I actually own ALL of those cards. I think the only thing I'm missing is Grafwidow.

[@Arghore]

My vote goes to *Budget* Big Green !!

[@airsoftkombat]

BIG RED

[@eating_a_cookie]

2:50 lord of the undead?!?! How dare you insult the standard zombie deck! Otherwise, great deck. Would like to see a budget big white deck, if by budget you mean only 0-1 Gideon ally. Will be intwrestig

[@SBMTG]

Ha I meant Accursed. I think this is the first time I've made that mistake in a video, but I've done it like 5 or 6 times in my daily life

[@gonzalomb5026]

GO BIG, GO WHITE!

[@jonathansweet2230]

Big white! Big white!

[@Bigtomtom79]

Dev show a green white good stuff deck! A mic between heart of Kiran, New and old Gideons, sylvan advocate, tireless tracker and verderous gearhulk

[@Bigtomtom79]

msg me if you would like my decklist

[@Treaxvour]

Red ❤️

[@arran2264]

BIG RED ALL DAY

[@ashadeofnight]

BIG RED PLEASE

[@OldSchoolGM94]

Oh good lord your mana base.... 2 1gg and 2 1bb then 4 2ww how do you think you will play any of that on curve...

[@coryk5919]

yeah the mana didn't work out at all.

[@mikeljorgensen298]

white!!

[@KingDeeeeerp]

300th like while I'm drunk, holler atcha boy lol

[@charlesyoung601]

BIIIIG REEED

[@kmach1nex]

Dispossess is not game over for Marvel lists. It only just slows it down...a lot but if they're playing against this deck, that seems okay. You still have to worry about any number of chandra's, hard cast ulamog, trackers and virtuoso. I've also started siding in Sphinx of the Final Word in these grindfests. Especially if you're playing Cast Out and Anguished Unmaking. Anyone scooping to Dispossess either is not prepared for the hate or they have no faith in the deck...Which is crazy to me. Just about every card is value city. Side note: why is liliana still $30+? She's seeing about as much play as Jace, Unraveler of Secrets. Modern Jund one of? I don't get it.

[@ashadeofnight]

Personally I prefer Anguished Unmaking to Transgress
