In the budget version in U/B you can also cast transgress the mind targeting yourself to exile the alignment without wasting a void shatter. Unsure what you'd cut for that but card is great Loving the videos Dev keep it up buddy!
My only real question about the second version of the deck (which is also my favorite) is why you didnt include Narset Transcendent, matches the colors, draws you cards with +1, doubles your draw effects from Dig and Cruise with the -2, and helps Lockout with the Ultimate. Also, with the Oath of Jace allows you to scry and get to your needed cards faster.
Also, I think a 1 of Dark Petition seems worth trying. Tutor for a Alignment and Spell Mastery is pretty much guaranteed. You can Ruinious Path or Grasp of Darkness with the extra mana.
personally i play the UB control splashing green for den protector. Flooded Strand fetches for sunken hollows, aswell as canopy vista which can be the green to flip protector. between lumbering falls/hissing quagmire and 2 vistas you can easily get the green for den protector also the addition of green and possibly white allows you to sidedeck more options. idk it works for me. won gameday with it
I think an interesting card to throw into the mix would be Inverter of Truths. Seems to synergize pretty well with Hedron Alignment itself and stuff like Jace or Monastery Siege
These are fun. I like the idea of making a starfield version. It double feeds the Johnny in us all!! Also, against the odds on MTG goldfish did a tiagams scheme version and it worked okay. You should check it out.
The main issue with Hedron Alignment, is unfortunately its cost. If we were able to build the alignment network in, say 2 turns, then it would become a huge part of the Modern Meta. But at the cost of 3, most of the filter-combo archetypes that are common in modern (Waste Not, Blistercoil, other Storm Variants) have some difficulty just making it to the board. Plus with one in the graveyard, anything from Relic of Progenitus to Surgical Extraction can destroy the entire combination. A single counterspell at the wrong place at the wrong time can also ruin the combo. I love this card. I love the idea and the deck building challenge of it. However, it just doesn't seem to be tier one or two in either modern or standard at this time. As always, Great Deck Tech Dev.
+ramoo giles cool, so hexproof works on the graveyard, in the library, in your hand, or on the stack? Nope. Remember, only one hedron alignment needs to go to the wrong place to lose. two in exile, two in graveyard, or even two on the battlefield (no idea how an opponent would manage this, just saying) ruins the combination. A destroy all permanents or destroy all enchantments spell also ruins it. I bring up Surgical extraction, but endless spells have a similar effect.
What about Stubborn Denial? I am no pro or even a good deck builder, but I saw some guys play Stub at the LGS. Glad I sold my Ojutai when he was up around 32 bucks lol. I have 3 paper pauper decks currently ! :)
I've been hesitant to put Grasp of Darkness into my U/B control shell for removal. It's fantastic for the cost, but having early-game UU and BB spells in the same deck seems problematic to me. How are you finding it?
Hi, I know this si a bit out of topic, but do you think making a rogue themed deck with Stinkdrinker Bandit is possible? And if it is, would you mind makind a deck tech? In modern....thanks for any kind of response
is it possible to make a deck tech for black/red eldrazi. it would be great if you did. BTW your omnath deck tech won me the game day event, thank you!!
hexproof is only protection from your opponents spells and abilities, shroud is the one you're talking about. you target hedron allignment with your isolation zone to get it into exile
+THE MAGIC GEEK Actually, the problem with casting an Isolation Zone on your own Hedron Alignment is that Isolation Zone says 'a creature or enchantment your opponent controls'. So this doesn't work, but not because it's hexproof.

very much looking forward to the Pauper vid - I had enormous fun with a Pauper Standard league a few weeks ago, and interested to hear what you think.

Played ur red blue aggro deck on gameday and came in 5th place. thank you :)
Currently working on the Omnath deck u made :)

I'd like to see your thoughts on a Rally the Ancestors Ally deck tech. Hopefully the Ally that gives haste and or Kalastria Healer make it in.
Great video as usual, I would definitely be interested in a pauper video!
This really reminded me of sphinx's tutelage deck, because of all the draw/discard
Cant you use bring to light or dark petition?
I'd like to see your take on Black/Red devoid if you haven't already done so.
great video Dev. Do you have a variation of Turbo Turns that could be successful? Its a blast when it works.

it has hexproof
+ramoo giles does that count if it's in the graveyard?
+Spideysenses67 no it doesn't
+Spideysenses67 what does that matter?

pauper deck tech pls ! :)
Why no Blighted lands in the budget deck? Extra draw and removal? Seems important, I could be wrong though.
How did I know you were going to come up with a deck tech on Hedron Alignment.
What about Stubborn Denial? I am no pro or even a good deck builder, but I saw some guys play Stub at the LGS. Glad I sold my Ojutai when he was up around 32 bucks lol. I have 3 paper pauper decks currently ! :)

What about the black flier that makes your library your graveyard? Maybe?
is it possible to make a deck tech for black/red eldrazi. it would be great if you did. BTW your omnath deck tech won me the game day event, thank you!!
Hay me again do a upgrade on the budget aristacrats but if possible try to make not have many cards that will rotate
How does the oath of Jace card work without any planeswalkers? Can I even use the scry ability?
what about a pyromancers goggles deck what would be a good update for that type of deck
I have try it with Myth Realized aus a alternativ win condition and it's worked
hey dev, if I had a deck I wanted you to check out how could I send it too you?
The hedron allignment might have been in one of those odd modern decks if it had been 2cmc and not 3
please make a B/U Nantuko Husk build
Hay bro do a mid range like 10-25-50 buck pingers upgrade because it sounds fun
what if I opened a jace the first origins pack I bought?
Yaaaaaaay, pauper😄
you can use isolation zone to exile hedron allignment.
Hedron allignment has hexproof
hexproof is only protection from your opponents spells and abilities, shroud is the one you're talking about. you target hedron allignment with your isolation zone to get it into exile
+THE MAGIC GEEK Oh, ok. Thanks for informimg me :)
+THE MAGIC GEEK Actually, the problem with casting an Isolation Zone on your own Hedron Alignment is that Isolation Zone says 'a creature or enchantment your opponent controls'. So this doesn't work, but not because it's hexproof.
wow, shouldn't quickly read over a card, you are right TheDemko
Hey SBMTG, have you thought about being a professional commentator for MTG coz you have serious charisma
went 1-0-2 at game day with hedron alignment lol took home 6 packs and made top 8. lol
how does dromoka's command put a hedron alignment into the graveyard? (it has hexproof)
+Nalianna Hexproof only counts towards opponents spells, you can actually target your own hexproof spells with instants/sorceries
Iknow how hexproof works, butt he context was "opponent could hurt this deck with Dromoka command" was strange
Because Dromoka's command says that target player sacrifices an enchantment, hexproof are only protected against destroy/exile key words.
Aha, that's the bit i didn't understand... i assumed that dromaka's targetted the enchant. cheers.
interesting deck tech
Sideboard?
Pauper please!
I'm so sorry you had to make these decks, just know you're doing God's work.
So does anybody hold out hope for mono-blue hedron alignment in modern? I can dream you know :/
Try U/R surge
is time for a new upgraded! Pleasse
opalescence in the sky with diamonds! XD
Ice cap zone!
Herron alignment can be good if you do win the game.
No shit
+Sam Hill haha
+Sam Hill
It'll be funny it he said "if you don't". It'll be the nombo jank comment of the century.
Ummmmmmm yes yes to super friends
infinite obliteration
Trust me it's H-ee-dron not hedron
i like to talk over skype 1 day
SUPERFRIENDS
lol
WOAH WHITE, SO WHITE
+Chris L The shirt... radiates so much white....
Meh. Pauper. I think there is already an excess of 'intro to pauper' videos, but people would be interested in decks. Not me, of course, but people...
lame deck.
