That's very kind of you to say my man! Glad you enjoy my videos! (Also only been making videos for only a few months so I wouldn't expect to have a lot of subscribers. Hopefully I can get there though!)
You're vary welcome I have tested some of your decks against other people's decks that are supposed to be the same but yours usually beats them and I actually use your black white enchantment control (I changed it a little) for my FMN and it gets me a lot of wins and I think I will use this because it's rotation proof which is something we need right now
There's some sweet additions (at least in the sidebaord) for that deck like solemnity (I know that costs a lot), torment of scarabs, desert's hold, and overwhelming splendor. That enchantment deck is probably one of the more unique and more fun decks I've played with in a while.
The thing about this deck is building it the more expensive way is still keeping it within budget range. Ammit eternals and channeler initiates are pretty cheap cards honestly and they are truly great in here. Turn 4 scorpion God is huge when you've got a turn 2 initiate (also bonkers with nest of scarabs) and when you have hapatra turn 2 and ammit eternal turn 3 then every time your opponent casts a spell you get a 1/1 with deathtouch. I would also recommend more burn as well if you're running 4 soulscar. Cut//ribbons is amazing and not very expensive for being a rare. But all in all I promise I'm not trying to bring down your list. These are just friendly suggestions. You are the only person I've seen on TH-cam upload a scorpion God deck and I love it! I love this deck and it was the first deck I built when hour of devastation came out and it gets pretty insane sometimes! Keep up the good work, friend!
I had tried the deck with cut//ribbons, it does technically have more value than abrade in a deck, I just didn't like how it's at sorcery speed (both halves). I prefer instant speed spells. Adding channeler and ammit will add around $13 more to the deck, which makes the deck around $50. For some people that's budget but not for most. If you have the money though, I HIGHLY recommend those cards (along with bicycle lands and untapped duals from Kaladesh and BFZ)
You're absolutely right. Sorcery speed on cut//ribbons is a bummer. I do run that along side abrade rather than instead of but I run lots of burn because kill control is just my play style. I see what you mean about initiate and eternal upping the cost of the deck considerably and what you've listed are good budget alternatives. I wasn't trying to say that my way is the only way or anything. :-) this looks like a good budget fnm deck for sure!
Good deck I think you might have left out an amazing card that combos with the deck and that's "Consuming Fervor" great card! works great with the deck and can do so much with that build.
Key to the City? Cycle any card, hapatra is unblockable, triggers ifnir, and if you wanted to to included Ammit, it removes all his -1/-1 counters for 5 dmg, that's big
I'd say for upgrades go, I'd say key to the city, as well as the Preop Liliana plainswalker and her two fetch cards. -1/-1 counters on all creatures you don't control and fetch liliana and her +1 alone helps this deck so well. I run a similar 4 color hapatra deck in FNM and aside U/W control I do fairly well.
I play a rag-tag version of this with my own cards and have found much success with festering mummy, and crocodile of the crossing. Put the -1-1 on the mummy, shrink of kill a creature, get 2 snakes, hit in for 5 damage. Thoughts?
I want to do that in the future. I can't do it because I play these decks either in real life or on proxy sites. I just don't have the equipment, money or time right now to do it. It's definitely one of the things I want to bring to this channel though
Magic the greatening so I just got all the cards. I don't have a fancy overlay yet but i do have chat on the screen ran a few test. All seems to be well will be stresming tonight.
I run the more expense of this deck and I didn't know the red Mage did that.... hour of devastation makes this so much more powerful and incredibly broken, cause not one does in intertwines with Scorpion God but also with all the utility creatures, like vivizer of poison and Spider.
So I have started a twitch stream. I am always saying I test your decks in a few days when I have my overlay setup I plan to start streaming youtube content decks. When I run your decks and I will, because they are great. I will put your channel up maybe feed a few more to your channel.
Magic the Greatening well just spent all night setting up profiles and did get to stream a few games. Got the chatbot putting up a link to your site every 20 minutes plus will be posting links on the channel. Just starting with you and dev...my favorites mtg content creators
Misread your question. Usually you'll take out cards that don't do very well in that matchup. Like you are up against control, and they only play gearhulk as their only creature, archfiend of ifnir is not going to do anything for you. You just got to read the situation, think of what your opponent might sideboard in against you, and go from there
The deck seems good, I wish you wouldn't focus on budget so much. Or have a bigger upgrade section. Enjoying your videos though. It's nice to see different deck techs.
Most people can' afford the competitive version of decks. That's why I've added an upgrade section to my budget decks. Adding ammit eternal, channeler initiate, foreboading ruins, blooming marsh and cinderglade will up the price by like $60.
If you have a Soul Scar Mage and Nest of Scarabs out and you Deem Worthy something (non cycling cost) do you always get 7 1/1's or would you only get how ever much toughness the creature you killed had?
Nice, ive been thinking about making a Jund -1/-1 counter deck, i have the Soul Scar Mages already although i was originally planning on just splashing red mostly just for Scorpion God, a couple Abrades and a few sideboard cards but i might have to change it up now. This deck is really missing a good 4 drop, i'm thinking Crocodile of the Crossing, maybe one copy of Merciless Javelineer (seems good with Archfiend) and maybe some Banewhip Punishers as semi 4 drops.
Does this find the cycling cards as often as it needs? Upgrading the mana to BFZ duals helps get your big spells out, but the bicycle lands work better with Ifnir...which would you recommend?
Yaaaaay ive been looking for this dechtech!
I don't know why you don't have more subs your decks are better than most big youtubers that do deck techs
That's very kind of you to say my man! Glad you enjoy my videos! (Also only been making videos for only a few months so I wouldn't expect to have a lot of subscribers. Hopefully I can get there though!)

And I really like the upgrade section at the end
Because more people need to click like and share his videos.

Have you considered "Consuming Fervor"?
Good deck I think you might have left out an amazing card that combos with the deck and that's "Consuming Fervor" great card! works great with the deck and can do so much with that build.
Key to the City? Cycle any card, hapatra is unblockable, triggers ifnir, and if you wanted to to included Ammit, it removes all his -1/-1 counters for 5 dmg, that's big
Never thought about that. Seems like a very good card in this deck
Liked and subscribed. Made a very similar deck and like to see other ways to play it.
What, if any Ixalan cards would you add to possibly make this better?
I'd say for upgrades go, I'd say key to the city, as well as the Preop Liliana plainswalker and her two fetch cards. -1/-1 counters on all creatures you don't control and fetch liliana and her +1 alone helps this deck so well. I run a similar 4 color hapatra deck in FNM and aside U/W control I do fairly well.
Well Your version is better than what I put together for sure.
I built this deck last week, not exactly the same, but with the same thought in mind.
I play a rag-tag version of this with my own cards and have found much success with festering mummy, and crocodile of the crossing. Put the -1-1 on the mummy, shrink of kill a creature, get 2 snakes, hit in for 5 damage. Thoughts?
What about Splendid Agony, or Torment of Venom. those fit well in this deck.
I'm going online to buy it right now
Hope you have fun with it! I know I did!
In the future could you show some footage of you playing with it to get a better idea of how to play
I want to do that in the future. I can't do it because I play these decks either in real life or on proxy sites. I just don't have the equipment, money or time right now to do it. It's definitely one of the things I want to bring to this channel though
What are the proxy sites you use so I can play with this while I wait for the cards
Which non-budget cards would you add to this deck besides ammit and channeler?
Bicycle lands, cinderglade, foreboding ruins, blooming marsh. Other than those, the deck doesn't need an upgrade
Magic the greatening so I just got all the cards. I don't have a fancy overlay yet but i do have chat on the screen ran a few test. All seems to be well will be stresming tonight.

Also struggle is just stupid strong cause all your damage cards are more likely to kill Gideon of the trials.
So I have started a twitch stream. I am always saying I test your decks in a few days when I have my overlay setup I plan to start streaming youtube content decks. When I run your decks and I will, because they are great. I will put your channel up maybe feed a few more to your channel.
If I play your deck it will be with no upgrades unless you put possible upgrades in the deck tech. I will let you know when I stream your decks.
That's cool man! Would love to see those streams!

Thanks man!
I have a question that is never really answered much, in cases of sideboard, what would you decide to take out and replace it with?
Misread your question. Usually you'll take out cards that don't do very well in that matchup. Like you are up against control, and they only play gearhulk as their only creature, archfiend of ifnir is not going to do anything for you. You just got to read the situation, think of what your opponent might sideboard in against you, and go from there

If you have a Soul Scar Mage and Nest of Scarabs out and you Deem Worthy something (non cycling cost) do you always get 7 1/1's or would you only get how ever much toughness the creature you killed had?
You always get 7 1/1's. All 7 negative one counters are put on at the same time.
Nice, ive been thinking about making a Jund -1/-1 counter deck, i have the Soul Scar Mages already although i was originally planning on just splashing red mostly just for Scorpion God, a couple Abrades and a few sideboard cards but i might have to change it up now. This deck is really missing a good 4 drop, i'm thinking Crocodile of the Crossing, maybe one copy of Merciless Javelineer (seems good with Archfiend) and maybe some Banewhip Punishers as semi 4 drops.
Does this find the cycling cards as often as it needs? Upgrading the mana to BFZ duals helps get your big spells out, but the bicycle lands work better with Ifnir...which would you recommend?
A combination of both. Whether equal amounts or not
MrUshiikun adding the BFZ lands would be nice but in a month they rotate out.
At my mtg store the Scorpion God is only like half of the price listed here.
it's possible the God's price could have dropped since I posted this
Im looking to make my first deck, is this still viable, and will it be rotated out?
This deck will rotate out unfortunately.
@@MagictheGreatening that's too bad, how much time till that happens?
how about
Scorpijund
for a name
Abrade is the most expensive card online
the mana curve is messed up
Does anyone else think he sounds like he's about to cry?
Instand like mate for using only set cards flavor of the set.
