Why would anyone question you for liking Orcus? Its a 4 mana 5/3 flying+trample. Even if that was it he would be a good card. But he can also be a sweeper or reanimator if you can afford it! Hes awesome!
That re animator function is so underrated. I use it probably just as much as the sweeper and it's gotten me back and won me tons of games i wouldn't have otherwise. The haste aspect makes it much better than Agadeem's imo
Hey man, caught your channel in the rec feed a few videos ago and this one came across my lap. I fell in love. Ended up spending about 13 rares and 3 mythic WC to finish this deck and I am not disappointed. Your synergy in this particular build is insane! I checked around other lists before pulling the trigger to craft this deck (I’m F2P on Arena) and this one is super fun. I love how the Haven glues together the dwarf and dragon synergies, and so far I’ve pulled off the “Magda summons a dragon” achievement like 3 times, & the “Faceless haven breathes fire to kill the potential blocker using itself to cast said dragon’s fire” achievement as well. ;) Thank you again sir for this list.
Dev, my man! I have never quite gotten into Standard, but always liked your content. But this deck right here? I love it! Thank you for getting me engaged in the format. Built it and have been having a blast! Been a Modern guy, focused on Jund builds, but this deck is just *chef’s kiss*
I followed your advice on the dragon and I did not regret it...just spent the last of my wildcards following your advice...(not to the teeth though..i'm on a budget and wildcards are scarce) but I did! And now....7-1 on standard event baby!! I also would like to thank CovertGoBlue too...Sorry for mentioning in your channel but I just want to go the credit where it is due. I watched both your vids...Thank you sir for helping us!
I stumbled upon your vids after recently getting back into magic via mtgarena and man, you have been nothing short of a bright beacon of joy in my days. Your positive attitude, silly jokes and amazing deckbuilding ideas have gotten me to subscribe 100% ! I know this is an older video, but do you know the name of the music you have playing during your match in the video? It's such a good beat and I found myself rewinding back several times to listen to it :D
It's kind of crazy to me that even in a blowout like that game, that there's still room for improvement. When Orcus drops on t4, there was enough mana to cast him at X=1, rezzing the Shambling Ghast. I mention that not to nitpick, but to reinforce how powerful Orcus is. In close games, Orcus can rez a chump blocker or two, which allow you to race over the top, while also repaying themselves with more treasure. Basically any time Orcus rezs at X
Oh nice. I was testing out that Orzhov midrange with the ghast/deadly dispute/skullport thing going on and really wanted to make it BR with immersturm predator. This is is pretty much what I was testing but better.
First, i enjoy how you present stuff, you are great. I just started arena after 15 m years out of magic, and went to Mythic at half of second week, fresh account with your Orzhov Dungeons, pretty cool I will try to spin this with Loyalty main deck … Now give what people wants a true competitive bard deck!
Been playing a similarish deck and immerstrum is incredibly overlooked. That thing is gas. But my early game is loaded with discard creatures. Was excited you approached this deck.
This deck is so fun. There's a variant of it in Historic where you throw in Reckless Fireweaver and Mayhem Devil to get tons of extra pings from all the treasure making and breaking. If only they'd give us Disciple of the Vault in that format.
I had tried out a couple of Rakdos Treasure builds in Standard 2022, although they seemed to have problems. But that might be due to me focusing too much on the early game and not trying to push toward the mid and late game. I hadn't considered Immersturm Predator, but that does seem to solve some of the problems. I guess I'll need to grind out the rare wildcards to make a set of that and the set of Orcus. And also the creature lands, so it will be a while before I can try this particular build.
Dropping a goldspan on turn 4 is tough money and orcus is my new pet creature. I run similar to this but splash white for extus and showdown of the skalds. dropped skullport and magda for hunt for specimens, fire chargers and kazuls fury to fling in emergency. Orcus was built for aristocrats
@@GreenMonkeySam yeah skullport was good at first but running out of gas was always a problem even with deadly dispute. The showdown keeps your hand full and pumps anything on the field. I’ll post the list if you’re interested

Me: opens TH-cam. TH-cam: SBMTG new video, uploaded 24 minutes ago. Me: guess I don't have to dig to see what to watch first today. TH-cam: No. No, you don't have to dig. Get it? Dig? It's okay you don't get it; just watch, you will.
Interesting route you took there; my treasure approach focuses more on dwarfs (magda, berserker…). I also run xorn and play galaseth without running any islands and that one combat trick that gives first strike and leaves a treasure. Golden pick in that deck is agadeems awakening, I sometimes cast it for 5 with 4 lands on the Field; I just Love that Deck
Have y'all tried a Rakdos Sacrifice Treasure deck? Blood Aspirant gets SUPER fed everytime you sack a treasure. If you have Kalain out too when you summon Predator you've effectively put tokens on both of them at the same time.
Today I just faced several matches in Arena against this deck, it is brutal! My sister is having hard time winning in Arena (she started to play 4 weeks ago), and she asked me for a deck. I will share this video with her!
Looks like fun. And Rakdos is my guilty pleasure favorite color pair. These treasures make the deck look like it feels like Jund. I've been saving and saving wild cards for rotation as a F2P player. It seems like Kaldheim is the set with the most post rotation value in it so I've been buying packs but my rare pulls have been surprisingly trash considering how much good stuff is in it. Finally got my first Faceless Haven from a pack. Still no Goldspan Dragon but it's pretty clear spending my wilds on a play set is a no brainer investment. Still opening Kaldheim packs so I might just get 3 and leave room for a lucky pull on the 4th. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'll be throwing together some suboptimal version of this deck. Playsets of Orcus and Imersturm Predator are tough pills to swallow. It feels like they only go in to some version of this deck. Running less than 3 of each and I don't think this deck will do its thing. It's about being fast and consistent while keeping up just enough answers to close out the game. I'm not sure there are other "good enough" threats to diversify in to. Ahh the life of a F2P budget player. But WotC ruined Historic so I can't justify paying for cards in Standard.
I'm playing a similar one to that with few mods i like the ink for lifegain esp on imm dragon :P but i cant seem to copy the decklist from the link page. its annoying to recreate the deck manually. or did i miss how to do it?
IMO, Shambling Ghast isn't a sleeper, that card was obvious value from day 1. Price of Loyalty can work well in mainboard due to its synergy with Immersturm Dragon, the old grab'n'sac. And I will cry no tears if Goldspan Dragon gets the banhammer.
@@jasonmalin1010 I think, with the next rotation, it'll be a good time for WotC to redefine what's "too powerful". There's cards that are balanced in the current Standard-- e.g. Goldspan, Blizzard Brawl, Blood on the Snow-- that have serious potential to overshadow anything AFR has to offer. If the next set doesn't give us some anti-land tech (reprinting Field of Ruin would work), then Faceless Haven might also need to go.
Just getting back into MTG and I'm glad I wasn't crazy for thinking Rakdos Treasure looked super strong! I know it's probably suboptimal but I wonder what you think of an old gnawbone in a treasure deck?
I love it as a side bored card personally, I have a very similar deck to this, I just jund treasures but it's a very similar deck. It just always feels like I'd rather play goldspan then old gnawbone
Over half the cost of the deck is in the 4x Goldspan Dragon. Oof. Anyone else getting Teferi, Hero of Dominaria vibes right now. It's feeling a lot like every deck in the format will either be playing Goldspan Dragon or needs to have a plan to deal with Goldspan Dragon. The best decks will be using it. If Innistrad is isn't either a control-heavy set or the second coming of Throne of Eldraine, it sure feels like Goldspan is a $50 mythic for the next year.
I personally play a ‘sweeper tribal’ rakdos treasure deck. Against Aggro and midrange it’s great. Now I have to find out how ro make it stronger against control…
im really glad you made this video since its the first one i voted on that got made. i just wanted to know if you ran into any trouble with the tapped snowlands?
Hello, my son and I just got back into MTG after taking a 4 year break. I built this deck up and am getting ready to start playing with it - -but would like to know what cards I might add from the new rotation -- suggestions??
I'm kinda surprised to see no Xorns or Forsworn Paladins here, but the fact being that the mana is fast enough and Goldspan is overbearingly good enough that you don't really need them does make some sense. It's only "cute", but I think the line of play where you go Kalain into Shatterskull Charger to play it as a 5/4 trample/haste that sticks around for just 3 mana is a very interesting one...
Love ur vids Dev but i gotta say i find this deck either stomps or comes out real flat. Dunno if it's just bad luck but i seem to mulligan a lot. Still gonna persist and see. Keep up the good work PS what music is that at end of vid , Killa trak
I have been using this deck for the past couple days and my win rate is terrible (2 and 13). I know that it's not the deck and it's just that I am clearly playing it wrong. Could anyone give me some guidance or could you even post a couple example games Dev? Also, first time commenting and just wanna say I love the channel and think you are a real great dude! We could use more people like you in the world.
Hey The Dizzard is on!
"no one's ever called me that"
... awww :(
Given that fantastic song at the end, I think you've more than earned the title of Dizzard.
king dizzard and the lizard wizard
The singing at the end is what sets him apart from the others. First smile today bro. Thanks
When Dev finally releases that LP it’s gonna be fire.
Is there a Patreon stretch goal for this? He needs to include one.
@@thedark1owns we just need to bring it up in stream often enough to plant that seed
He should make a parody of fatal by rza for the upcoming set. I am a fan of this flavor song.
Why would anyone question you for liking Orcus? Its a 4 mana 5/3 flying+trample. Even if that was it he would be a good card. But he can also be a sweeper or reanimator if you can afford it! Hes awesome!
Yea uh...it's possibly top 5 rare in the set...

Dies to frost bit though as a four drop

I've been playing this deck since this video came out and it is a ton of fun. I'm not competitive /w constructed but will putting up some wins.
I've been messing around with this deck for a few days now and it feels utterly broken. The turn 3 plays in this deck can make people scoop instantly.
Hey Dev! Awesome deck. Just tried it out and it definitely kicks some but. Thanks man.

Love your videos. Keep them coming please.
New sub. Loving your stuff sir.
I've sacked a ghast to get rid of toski it's sweet one of the best new cards!
Build a Rakdos Treasure Deck this morning. Goldspan on turn 3 is not bad, Tibalt on 4, throw a Lolth in there.. good stuff
5 for 5 so far! Thanks I love it. You got yourself a new subscriber. Say whaddup to Ziggy
The black cards are really making me feel good for the next set. We are gonna get some menace/flash mono black creatures. I just know it.
Nice one dev
