The level of professionalism on this channel is excellent and Dev is very talented at presenting. Wizards, if you’re lurking, this man makes me a tiny bit interested in standard. Which is saying something for me 😅 bank this man.
I did a mono white angel, thought I would be missing removal or something but works pretty well. Using Sigarda Splendor and Inspiring Angel for card draw and teleportation circle for etb effects for both the angel counters and draw cards and shield tokens, also running elspeth for more counters
Thank you for the video and I definitely appreciate the gameplay at the end of the deck tech discussion. My only suggestion is that I would like to see the games in at the end in normal speed, (probably edit it out any boring parts like the opponent roping you) I cannot put my finger on it, but theres just something off about seeing a magic duel in hyper-speed. Its like there's so much going on so fast that it takes a while for my brain to consume and marinate on what just happened. I may be the only who feels this way but just my 2 cents. I love your videos. Keep em coming.
4:31 I play on Arena primarily shocked to see this card only at .25 cents freakin crazy, I came here specifically to see if you used it in this I've been using it in my latest Esper trials in conjunction with Lazav, The Multifarious
Dev! You're the man! I can listen to you blab on about any topic. I also appreciate how you speed up the gameplay to showcase the deck. Your videos are always informative and the right amount of goofy to keep it entertaining.
I’ve been killing it with mono white angels on arena, slowing down a bit once I hit platinum. I’ll check and see if I have the cards to give this a shot!
I've liked sanctuary Warden in a uwr shell as a cool thing to copy with reflection of kiki jiki along with goldspan, spirited companion and elite spellbinder.
I feel Elizabeth is a better use of your five drop then rampage of the Valkyries. Literally all three of her abilities fit in and benefit your deck strategy
@@sazger sadly no you end up spending too much time to get the pieces on board. Sacking one of the Daemogoth to either ob or Ziatora feels freaking cool but it's too many pieces to get a solid flow.
I've been playing angels since August last year finally we're getting the recognition we deserve (at least until kaldheim rotates out, righteous valkyrie firja's and starnheim unleashed are OP)
This. I've been on a hard orzhov list and running my LGS for months. I'm on the 8removal spells/heavy on the enchantments as my way of getting value. Playing 2 colors is way freindlier on the fact you can still run 7-8 man lands no sweat and keep pressure up every turn. Also. Crippling fear is only like, 0.45 cents and is the one sided whipe I've been on for months. Works just fine.
I think sanctuary warden is too good not to play especially since you can ramp into it. I would cut down some number of retribution and maybe even relegate rampage to the sideboard.
Just Poppin in to this standard environment.. Why is meathook massacre so good? Dont get me wrong its a good card but for it to be 50$+ it must be a menace in the format. Does it usually get played for 4 mana and kill most of the good cards or does it get played for 6 or 7 mana usually and just kill everything. It does both but which one is it usually doing?
Well, the fact that you get to chose is one of the reasons it is at that price. It also sticks on the board, drains opponents and has sinergy with life gain compositions. You can even play it for 0 and use it in sacrfice decks. And when you draw a new one, it does not really matter that its legendary, it wipes the board anyway.
@@ashshopsmart8347 you can bounce it , that second effect stays around. Its a differnt card. I wasn't fully paying attention. Should have known when I heard " enters the battlefield " . makes more sense now.
It's not only a sweeper, but a source of life AND an extra win condition. I can't count the number of times I've killed the opponent by destroying one of my own creatures.
Yellowhat has been some doing sexy things with Giada and Bant. Not a Bant guy myself, but I feel as if The Brokers have the least amount of (high profile, as it pertains to the internet) support. Just sayin'.
Actual idea here: you should rework the power rankings, specifically because I don't know what a 69 (nice) means. 69% winrate is what I'm guessing. The deck is an 8/10, but what does that mean? Tier 2?
It's just that each category gets an x out of ten score and then Dev adds them up. They usually score in the 60's and a higher score means they should be a little stronger on average.
I really really hate Wizards' propensity for making entire manabases need to be rare. That, by far, is the biggest hurdle to building this deck, both in paper and on Arena. If not for the 5 wildcards I would need to spend just in the manabase, in addition to the 20 I'd already spent over the last year, I'd be willing to try this version just for the neat Linvala tech. I do kinda want to try Metro angel and re-including Lumi, but I definitely disagree with not running the 3-drop that draws. She's overperformed for me. If nothing else she's a chump blocker that replaces herself and buys time until you can slam Giada and another angel to fill out the board against spot removal. *edit* Also not a fan of the 2 minutes of dead air at the end of the vid. Was that a mistake?
@@christopherreay3242 why not? Draft is where you need to be able to play your cards the most; and in draft if you see a rare land, you're just sad. It's a waste of a bomb rare slot that could be used to win games. IMO best of all worlds would be lands at uncommon at worst. It should be a development rule for a healthy game to allow players to be able to play. Color screwing, flooding, and otherwise not being able to play the game is not fun and causes players to quit.
@@BraghDaMan too much fixing in limited formats can lead to multicolour soup just being what everyone plays, which gets dull fairly quickly. Yeah, it sucks to open a bad rare, but it's better for the longevity of a format overall
@@christopherreay3242 I don't quite get the reasoning. Doesn't that make a format healthier? If you're a skilled enough drafter to make the multicolor pile, shouldn't you be rewarded for it? That's what makes it fun right?
@@BraghDaMan not really if it happens all the time. Having clearly defined archetypes that you can go deep on is a fun aspect of draft. If all decks are just 'draft all of the best things regardless' it gets old a lot quicker
Because of this video I added Giada to my mono white angels deck. Great card!

So glad to see a Deck Tech again! Love this deck too btw. Excited to start playing it.
The more I watch your videos, the more I think we would br friends In real life. Kudos from another magic player that started almost 30 years ago

Some masterful puns in this one, Dev. Very proud of you.
I love this Dev, thanks a lot!!!
your power rating joke literally made me laugh out loud, well done
That score delivery was absolutely fine ;)
I’m so glad you didn’t list out a deck that outlined my angels deck. Phew! …but I’m going to try this and maybe replace it, lol
Luminance aspirant still fits the flavour of an Angel deck in my opinion as clerics usually worship angels
It fits a ban.
You should add final price verdict at the end of your techs it would be a nice additions for people like me who wanna build everything lol
I was waiting for the phantom tracks at the end ^^
Hate playing against angels, but still enjoyed the video 😆

Elspeth, and I concur.
@MagicMike Elspeth
Been trying to make a jund sac deck that uses Daemogoth woe eater and Daemogoth titan with Ziatora!
Have you made the deck? I brewed a Jund sacrifice deck but not sure if it would hold up
@@sazger sadly no you end up spending too much time to get the pieces on board. Sacking one of the Daemogoth to either ob or Ziatora feels freaking cool but it's too many pieces to get a solid flow.
Damn Dev looking extra good today. White shirt looks great in you.

By the tests i've done the best version is azorius tempo, turns out the most important angel is indeed linvala, spell pierce also absolutely key.

I'd love to watch a steam of you playing with this deck
You dang devilishly handsome man you know how to make my Friday work day so much better!
That was a very - fine - video.
Really enjoyed the video
"Some might even say 'nice.'" Peak comedy
The commentary and rant over the last 3 minutes really changed my life.
Much love.
Awesome deck!
lookin good Dev
Love tribal decks.
Good looking deck.
I love gameplay and would like more,. But i love the content
Great deck...the high speed gameplay made my head hurt.
I think sanctuary warden is too good not to play especially since you can ramp into it. I would cut down some number of retribution and maybe even relegate rampage to the sideboard.
Looks nice I prefer w/u with cloners
There's a halo on your head in the video. Did you do that in purpose Dev? Nice. Lol
That score seems…unholy…but it is awesome.
What is the best standard cats that can be done in May2022?
23:00
Uh, are they still watching me?
Nice! 😁

I love you Dev! Creeping v-neck and all! Lol
Nice

On Arena being able to craft them cheaper would be good. I wouldn't want them below rare for most draft formats, though

Is there going to be whole deck tech hosted by Dev's forehead? A stream perhaps?
How are u? 🐄🐙🐋
