I’m liking the budget/upgrade alternate card options you’ve been doing lately. I like hearing your opinion on why you didn’t choose certain cards or what might be a good replacement if you don’t own certain cards. Awesome video as always 👍🏻
Tried this out on mtgo, although I don't have the $ for history. I used 3x Arboreturm Elemental and 3x Worldsoul Colossus along with 3x Leonin Warleader (I didn't have some of the cards you mentioned in this deck) and it works awesome
@Kel'Thuzad yeah seriously. I bought a bunch of stuff for dimir surveil and I'm going to make a list similar to Devs turbo surveil for paper and on magic arena. But man a lot of these cards have shot up in price. Im pretty surprised so much stuff is being ran and all these top meta decks are falling into the guild identities
I made a similar build, only I added healer's hawk, fountain of renewal and Ajani's Pridemate. I pump the pridemate as well as casting other creatures with token creation abilities and cast Ghalta, along with some convoke stuff.
Token builds are not really my thing, but it's always good to know what you might go up against … definitely interested in a budget build for this deck, regardless of the previous mentioned, as it be interesting to see a budget version and compare it in regards to power level and such.
I'm playing this deck. Can someone explain what each sideboard card is for. I find myself never boarding in a lot of the cards in the sideboard...LIke what is Huatli for?
I wanted to go Boros or Golgari this season, but my packs I pulled so much Selesnya I had to try something. But I'm working with a couple Divine Visitation. It's so fun to get off, but I haven't played the deck enough to see how often it becomes a dead card.
I am playing tokens right now but Boros. As far as I have played it so far, Divine Visitation is busted. 4. Hunted Witness 4. Goblin Instigator 3. Legion Warboss 2. Leonin Warleader 2. Siege-gang Commander 2. Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice 1. Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants 1. Huatli, Warrior Poet 3. Lightning Strike 2. Queen's Commission 4. Heroic Reinforcements 2. Settle the Wreckage 3. Seal Away 3. Divine Visitation 4. Clifftop Retreat 6. Mountain 10. Plains 4. Sacred Foundry
I know this is an older video but its on subject. I have a request... I noticed that the selesnya guild kit is mostly 1 of cards. Let's see a budget upgrade to that precon deck for 60 card singleton! Keep up the good work! Thanks!
I love these budget options, I'm already on the everything but History plan, I don't need the Knight tribal and Song and Benalish Marshall have worked great for fast pressure before the high drops.
This deck with Divine Visitation and Greater Auramancy ist just a beast. Opponent can't touch the divine Visitation because of Greater Auramancy while it turns all token creatures that are created into 4/4 flying angels with vigilance
The version I brewed runs it. I don't know if this would be considered janky or not, but with Divine visitation you get a free 8 dmg from the tokens alone.
Without a doubt Huatli, Radiant Champion isn't getting enough love, ESPECIALLY in such an explosive token-based deck. I've had her on 8+ loyalty on turn 4 and threaten to ultimate the next. If she gets to, ho boy! March gets STUPIDLY good!
but turn 4 is also where you are facing most wraths. and her ult isnt a game ender just a facilitator. if you emptied your hand to play her turn 4, then draw into land you are just as dead as anyone else. reid and ajani both give you board state.
in a meta where playing decks with 18 control spells, 12 draw that is really closer to 20 due to jump start and only 6 -8 creatures in your opponents deck... they dont give a fuck about that.
What about (maybe in a more budget option) running heroic reinforcements? I know that splashing red is gonna hurt consistency but heroic can lead to an explosive turn out of nowhere.
@@sneakysquid9917 there was a time right when it was originally announced and it was around 5-7$ and everyone was talking it down. I reallllly regret not buying into a playset or two then as I was telling everyone it was gonna be good
Would this deck be a good start into Mtg? I played with my starter deck now and want to get my "own" deck. I really enjoy the artworks and the way it works. I got already some of the new cards for the deck from boosters so I have a starting point to build it up.
@@zombiedla i think its a bug because i had more than enough mana to cast, the card would show a cancel button but no resolve and unless i tapped creatures it would just float there till the timer started. I needed the blockers tho
Can you explain why you think Tendershoot Dryad isn't a good choice to put in here? In my limited experience, it seems she can often end games just by herself. She also synergizes well with saproling migration, and is generally just a huge token engine. Not a fan?
The two toughness and lack of immediate effect is likely why. Mono red and blue red are very common in this format each running a ton of burn spells that will immediately kill her. And since her ability doesn't happen til the start of your opponents turn, it can end up just trading with your opponents shock, which feels bad
This has nothing to do with this deck I was just hoping you guys could help me out. I played mtg mid 90's and just now decided to get back into it and love the channel. I really like and am trying to build a deck around lich's mastery. My question is if lichs forces me to exile cards can I trigger other cards that are triggered by exiling or does it not work that way bc lichs is forcing me to do so. If anybody can help me out I'd really appreciate it
We need a mono red standard deck. I want your take on the most competitive mono red deck available right now. so far I have something built using Goblin chainwhirler rekindling Phoenix and risk factor I just don't know what the best other pieces are. I'm thinking maybe shock lightning strike and Banefire but I don't know if there are some other options that I'm not considering
If i play knight of autumn and put 2 1/1 counters on it then play a second copy can i target the first copy and put 2 more counters on it since it says the name?
I want that whole song!! What is it called. I know it's a famous symphony from Back or Beethoven but couldn't place it and know there are tons of different Techno Remixes of those kinda songs.
Since I have limited ressources in MTGA and Mono-U gets boring... which deck should I throw my wildcards on? Esper, Grixis,..., what will be probably good and interesting in the long run?
No Tendershoot Dryad? By the time you're able to cast it, you're practically guaranteed to have the city's blessing...and it generates a token EVERY UPKEEP (yep, including your opponent's), plus pumping them. Easy-casting, too; no double-green or green-white needed. Also, I'd expect the defense rating to be a little higher since you have a growing number of chump blockers if necessary, at least on the ground.
I maindeck two ajani and I feel you MUST have 4 multitudes.. otherwise very simlilar. on sideboard, 3 seal away, 3 knight of autumn, 2 settle, 2 sentinal totem (highly underrated), 2 Ferrox, 2 carnage tyrant, 1 binding
What’s do you think it’s a possible budget option for history of benalia? I wanna go back to standard and tokens is a really appealing deck, but I don’t want to spend 100 bucks for the benalia.
If you aren't running History you can switch to primary green. Take out the costs of Legion's Landing and History for Llanowar Elves and Song of Freyalise. Then just add a little extra big stuff since you have way more ramp. You should be able to come up with something.
Dev can you do a deck tech on how to counter Golgari? it's literally like 75-80% of the decks I play against and it's soooo annoying and stagnant. Thanks boss.
I know this might be far fetched but.... what about a land removal deck xD. Think that might be viable somehow? I was wondering about one myself, where i would want to include nifty stuff like crucible of worlds or maybe even fall of thran XD
Hmmm fall of thran I got you. 4x Fall of than 4x llanowar elf 4x druid of the cowl 4x assassin's trophy 4x Vraska golgari queen 4x remorseful cleric 4x jadelight ranger 4x merfolk branchwalker 4x golgari findbroker Simple rule of 9 start but if you work out from there I'm sure we could have an interesting deck coming in has near perfect lands with 2 sets of shocks and 3 sets of check with 2 forest 1 swamp and 1 plains
How about Pride of Conquerors? You'll easily and quickly get the blessing, and with it you can protect all your creatures against a board sweep like Fiery Cannonade or perhaps Deafening Clarion (if you have Trostani or something like that) for as little as 2 mana... Otherwise I like this deck :)
Dev did a Budget Dimir, and also gave budget options for this one. The Boros one was, I agree, scary though, and a budget version probably needs an entire video on its own.
@@Charsiupao I know but I really want to see Budget Boros :P. I believe Swiftblade is an underappreciated card, with a proper build it can take over the game
Dev, about the patreon, I want to get a card that signed by you every month! But i’d also like to consult you about decks.. So im no sure which tier to choose😫
My favorite card to play after a March of the Multitudes is another March of the Multitudes. Too bad that ether the board gets wiped or I win before I get the chance. :X
Its funny that the bad version of a mono green deck I've been playing on Arena has absolutely destroyed this tokens deck every time I've played it...a 5/4 that cant be blocked by essentially everything in this deck that comes down on Turn 2 beats it, as does Ghalta.
How about you be a spicy boi and whip up a mardu tokens list? Its asking to be made, dev. ITS ASKING TO BE MADE. you got histories that make demons, you got goblins that make goblins, you got lifelinking vampires, you got cards with great sacrifice value. Its all there.
Wow another deck tech guess I need to get a double dev's deck going. I like this version of tokens. Seems smooth and versatile
we want a Ziggy Pet Tech
Dat synergy.
Great deck Dev. Cant wait for the "new" build in about 4 months. I think this deck is a set away from being broken.
I’m liking the budget/upgrade alternate card options you’ve been doing lately. I like hearing your opinion on why you didn’t choose certain cards or what might be a good replacement if you don’t own certain cards. Awesome video as always 👍🏻
Warleader into Trostani is pretty neat, but Warleader into Divine VIsitation = GG :D
Exactly!
Awesome Dev it's great to see some selesnya ^^ very powerful cards and great builds bud!! Keep it up
Dude I'm running most of these card and got 1st at the local tablez FNM still running 4 Loxodonz cards boss w/ emmara
Tried this out on mtgo, although I don't have the $ for history. I used 3x Arboreturm Elemental and 3x Worldsoul Colossus along with 3x Leonin Warleader (I didn't have some of the cards you mentioned in this deck) and it works awesome
Glad to see somebody talking up Leonin Warleader. He is an excellent card that I have felt is really under recognized lately.
This is Definitely a deck I like I just wish I had bought a bunch of these cards before they skyrocketed in price
@Kel'Thuzad yeah seriously. I bought a bunch of stuff for dimir surveil and I'm going to make a list similar to Devs turbo surveil for paper and on magic arena. But man a lot of these cards have shot up in price. Im pretty surprised so much stuff is being ran and all these top meta decks are falling into the guild identities
I LOVE THE NICKNAMES YOU GIVE THESE CARDS! YOURE AWESOME DEV!
I made a similar build, only I added healer's hawk, fountain of renewal and Ajani's Pridemate. I pump the pridemate as well as casting other creatures with token creation abilities and cast Ghalta, along with some convoke stuff.
I’d think divine visitation could be a centerpiece card here...
Token builds are not really my thing, but it's always good to know what you might go up against … definitely interested in a budget build for this deck, regardless of the previous mentioned, as it be interesting to see a budget version and compare it in regards to power level and such.
It's crazy that $100 is sunk into a playset of 1 card
That is printed on cardboard and has an expiration date
if that makes you blink MTG is not for you.
Jam Flex an expiration date for one format. I’m going to be happy to grab at least one post-rotation for EDH brewing.
it might also be viable enough for a modern decklist.
I agree, that's why we're switching over to proxies
I miss the RTR token builds.
This deck is interesting.
Good stuff.
I'm playing this deck. Can someone explain what each sideboard card is for. I find myself never boarding in a lot of the cards in the sideboard...LIke what is Huatli for?
More token advantage and making a big dude bigger.
"Shanna Banana and Monk with a Trunk?!"
LOL I'm dying. Where does he get these nicknames?
I wanted to go Boros or Golgari this season, but my packs I pulled so much Selesnya I had to try something. But I'm working with a couple Divine Visitation. It's so fun to get off, but I haven't played the deck enough to see how often it becomes a dead card.
I am playing tokens right now but Boros. As far as I have played it so far, Divine Visitation is busted.

I know this is an older video but its on subject.
I have a request...
I noticed that the selesnya guild kit is mostly 1 of cards. Let's see a budget upgrade to that precon deck for 60 card singleton!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Man, you just look better every day!!! Great video my man!

Standard is looking really crazy right now. So many options. I wonder if we will keep this variety all the way until the next expansion.
Divine visitations should be main deck. It's nuts and you know it
T4 Leonin Warleader into a T5 Divine Visitation is insanity.
Dev, I'm gonna be honest. I watch these videos 15% for you, 15% for the Magic content, and 70% for Ziggy.
Im surprised no one plays leonin warleader in these decks. He has always worked well for me as a 2 of.
channel nine productions untapped with it is just crazy
@@poyi1013 definitely and the mana being so good in the format now makes the double white easy to get to early
The version I brewed runs it. I don't know if this would be considered janky or not, but with Divine visitation you get a free 8 dmg from the tokens alone.
I'd like to see an updated deck tech for Seles with some new RNA cards.
Why no Settle the Wreckage in the SB? Or Huatli?
Can't tell you how much pride of conquerors helps in this list.
Without a doubt Huatli, Radiant Champion isn't getting enough love, ESPECIALLY in such an explosive token-based deck. I've had her on 8+ loyalty on turn 4 and threaten to ultimate the next. If she gets to, ho boy! March gets STUPIDLY good!
but turn 4 is also where you are facing most wraths. and her ult isnt a game ender just a facilitator. if you emptied your hand to play her turn 4, then draw into land you are just as dead as anyone else. reid and ajani both give you board state.
They've either spent their turn dealing with my creatures or Huatli. Either way, they're a little behind.
in a meta where playing decks with 18 control spells, 12 draw that is really closer to 20 due to jump start and only 6 -8 creatures in your opponents deck... they dont give a fuck about that.
Great analysis. Point, lack thereof, taken.
Started streaming this and youtube broke, but the show went on.
What about (maybe in a more budget option) running heroic reinforcements? I know that splashing red is gonna hurt consistency but heroic can lead to an explosive turn out of nowhere.
boy does that Wizards & Warriors theme bring me back....lol
4:18 How I am solving that disappointment is making her my commander and adding in a few extra cards to this deck.
Can we have a Ziggy Special? What're Ziggy's thoughts on the current state of standard? What're Ziggy's thoughts on Modern right now?
History is $25... WTF thank God i got mine $5 a piece :')
They’ve been like 12-15$ for a while.. when’d you buy them? Release?
Mightyhulk1 they were 10 bucks before release
@@sneakysquid9917 there was a time right when it was originally announced and it was around 5-7$ and everyone was talking it down. I reallllly regret not buying into a playset or two then as I was telling everyone it was gonna be good
I was happy just to get mine for $11 a piece :)
Thanks Dev!!! You're awesome!!!
Love this deck keep up the Tech. Thanks for everything again. You are very appreciated. Much love lots of blessings to you and your family.
Would this deck be a good start into Mtg? I played with my starter deck now and want to get my "own" deck.
I really enjoy the artworks and the way it works. I got already some of the new cards for the deck from boosters so I have a starting point to build it up.
"Monk of the Trunk"...Lol. Thumbs up!
OMFG that cat is the cutest thing ever!
any thoughts on using Ajani's Welcome?
Lol I just looked this up and it's out like a minute ago
I found on mtg arena i could not cast a convoke card without convokeing? Forced to tap something or the timer would start...
You can just tap lands for mana, no need to tap creatures
@@zombiedla i think its a bug because i had more than enough mana to cast, the card would show a cancel button but no resolve and unless i tapped creatures it would just float there till the timer started.
I needed the blockers tho

So..i think i know the answer but can we cast both of the cards on the double cards? Or do you have to pixk one?
Pretty sure you can only pick one. They do not have the "fuse" ability like on previous iterations
If i play knight of autumn and put 2 1/1 counters on it then play a second copy can i target the first copy and put 2 more counters on it since it says the name?
No.
I want that whole song!! What is it called. I know it's a famous symphony from Back or Beethoven but couldn't place it and know there are tons of different Techno Remixes of those kinda songs.
Since I have limited ressources in MTGA and Mono-U gets boring... which deck should I throw my wildcards on? Esper, Grixis,..., what will be probably good and interesting in the long run?
Golgari and Abzan decks are pretty fun and quite effective against the other popular decks imo.
If you don’t have many rates or mythics I would say GB midrange. Really fun and strong and is mostly uncommons. :)
Dev what do you think of Shapers Sanctuary?
No Tendershoot Dryad? By the time you're able to cast it, you're practically guaranteed to have the city's blessing...and it generates a token EVERY UPKEEP (yep, including your opponent's), plus pumping them.

You like the cleric over tocatli for the side?

The monk with a trunk!
I feel like there is a reason why all important pieces of the meta can be aquired for three fiddy...
But Dev, can we finally find a link to this sick intro beat in the description? :D
Wizards and Warriors (on Super Nintendo) theme song.

What’s do you think it’s a possible budget option for history of benalia? I wanna go back to standard and tokens is a really appealing deck, but I don’t want to spend 100 bucks for the benalia.
I feel like removal in that spot would be fine.
If you aren't running History you can switch to primary green. Take out the costs of Legion's Landing and History for Llanowar Elves and Song of Freyalise. Then just add a little extra big stuff since you have way more ramp. You should be able to come up with something.
Dev gives budget replacements for History and the other cards at the end of the deck tech
Beats coming hella hard
I run a set of the 1 drop cat and 1 of the gain life pay 2 draw a card. Draw 2 a turn in a convoke deck is legit.
Hell yea was waiting on this vid
If I were going to build standard, this is the deck I'd build
Is this deck any good without History of Benalia's? Dont want to buy em :l
natgeo2 I replaced it with banalish marshal. Workes great so far
Dev can you do a deck tech on how to counter Golgari? it's literally like 75-80% of the decks I play against and it's soooo annoying and stagnant. Thanks boss.
When can we get a budget version of this?
He gave the budget options in the video...
abzan knights plz
No Song of Freyalise?
I know this might be far fetched but.... what about a land removal deck xD.
Think that might be viable somehow? I was wondering about one myself, where i would want to include nifty stuff like crucible of worlds or maybe even fall of thran XD

Golgari Aggro or Golgari Explore deck tech next!
Could you do a budget deck.
this is why they made that 4 mana destroy all creatures with 3 mana cost or less XD

A look the copying deck based around beamsplitter?
Why is nobody playing Benalish Marshal in these decks?
so glad i got my 4 march before it went to 15 bucks
Dev, about the patreon, I want to get a card that signed by you every month! But i’d also like to consult you about decks..
So im no sure which tier to choose😫
“Some jankmeister” lmaoooo
Post rotation $5 Budget Decks please thank you :)
I have been working on an Izzet Drake deck lately and also trying a Grixis build of drakes too. Could you look into one of those please?
Why not Divine Visitation?
My favorite card to play after a March of the Multitudes is another March of the Multitudes.
Too bad that ether the board gets wiped or I win before I get the chance. :X
I actually had to spend $150 on this to complete this deck. To many new cards man.
Its funny that the bad version of a mono green deck I've been playing on Arena has absolutely destroyed this tokens deck every time I've played it...a 5/4 that cant be blocked by essentially everything in this deck that comes down on Turn 2 beats it, as does Ghalta.
Saprolint inclusion should include slimefoot...
"Shanna" Banana. 😎
Was divine visitation ever considered?
It can do many things the turn it comes down given your playing march, haazda marshal, thorn lieutenant, emara, etc....
But yeah its a win more option against rw angels for the most part because of the body
Are you going to put the play button on the wall when you get it
Great deck
Lyra dawnbringer?
How do we deal with flying though? Lol
Sideboard 2 drop insect to fight em
I just want primal amulet to be a thing in standard lol
Looks like a good deck just don't play the colors toghter
How about you be a spicy boi and whip up a mardu tokens list? Its asking to be made, dev. ITS ASKING TO BE MADE. you got histories that make demons, you got goblins that make goblins, you got lifelinking vampires, you got cards with great sacrifice value. Its all there.
Can you do a Wizard deck plz Dev 🤘
Love it!
Wich deck has the best score overall
