More deck techs pls i use to watch back during archangel avacyn days back in twenty sixteen your deck techs are the only way i can understand the way these decks function is because of you dev im buying up as much midnight hunt and zendikar i can i really wanna get back in the game with my gf we love your stuff bro
Got the Meathook Massacre and Burn Down the House in my first sealed pool Friday, and I even got the combo of making the Devils and then saccing them all to the Meathook Massacre for the final SIX damage. I was like, Dev would like this...
I'm rewtaching Breaking Bad at the moment, and that shot of your hallway with the open door at the end occurs a lot on the show, your house looks just like it. Lol
Recently added meathook massacre to my historic jund food/sacrifice deck. Really pushes it over the edge with the extra reach and ability to clear the board when the opponent goes wide
I’ve been playing blood money with this teacher and love the deck. Orzhov midrange just feels sweet to me this and blood in the snow just wrecks once you get to the mid game
Aaaaaaaah yes, it begins. The hypest standard (for me anyway) in the 6 years I've been playing. God I love Innistrad and lord there's some CARDS in this set plus we got Strixhaven which is one of my favorite sets in years... Oh yeah here we GO.
9:00 I don’t think you can get multiple +1 triggers with Immerstrum. Might be wrong but reading it seems like it can only happen once, unless you can untap it somehow afterwards.
Hey, I’m new to standard, I started in modern with dimir mill ( I didn’t understand modern well ). I have spent the last few years playing EDH 100% and only 1 deck that I painfully edited over many years. It’s still Jank and I love it. This is my first go at a standard deck. Thoughts?

Completely agree. I burnt myself on puppy’s after one game hahah. I did some digging and found this and wanted to do whatever I could. Didn’t know but thanks for the 411.
Not sure if Dev will see this, but I've been having a lot of fun with Meathook and the golgari magecraft suite and Rotten Reunion. Been using the flashback token makers and the kitty cat revival card lol in abzan and it's been fun!
I think there is an argument to be made for UB zombies with Meathook Massacre. Especially with decayed tokens. I’ve been using it since launch day and its been fun and pretty consistent
I’m playing that shell right now and been contemplating throwing it in since blood on the snow just doesn’t give that deck the oomph it would if I had planewalkers or something in it.
i made a monoblack zombies aristocrats deck with meathook massacre and pyre and been having so much fun with it, honestly probably my favorite card of the set so far!
Both decks look solid and I just can't wait to build them! A question though, any tips on teaking these decks for BO1 format? Because I'm more into BO1 now.
I wonder if geistwave would be good in the blue black, bouncing the massacre and drawing a card sound good for 2 mana and u have the bounce for tempo too. Could play a mix of that and divide. Also surprised to not see grafted identity in a deck like this.
83% winrate on ladder with Rakdos version so far. If you look at it sideways, Meathook Massacre has a sneaky throwback to Massacre from way back when - at 4 mana, they both give -2/-2 to the board
Doesn't Immersturm predator only get one chance to get +1/+1 as you cast your massacre? Or does "become tapped" not care about it being already tapped?
so uhhh. tend the pests is my new fave jank. its just so wombo. mystic reflection. and the double Power double double green enchantment. just think about it. blue black green.
With different standard sets there are different ways to access cards "outside of the game" meaning not in your deck...So you create a sideboard full of cards that can be accessed this way.
I know deadly dispute is all the rage, but it's bizarre to me how village rights has been abandoned. Yes, I know the treasure from DD makes it end up functionally costing the same, but the up front cost of VR makes it so much more flexible.
Getting 5 mana turn 3 (shambler T1, Dispute T2) to bomb out a 5 cost planeswalker and just straight up win some games along with the interaction with Skullport Merchant and the treasure token equaling another card makes Deadly Dispute the way better card in these style of decks.
@@michaedove3562 I totally get the upside when you have all the right cards. Just pointing out that flexibility of one mana spell may help to be effective in more situations. TLDR VR has better floor case even if not as high of a ceiling as DD
@@johnf9710 I've played against "the deck" (4x shambling swarm, bat, skullport merchant, deadly dispute) at least 30 times and I can say with certainty that Village Rites is a weaker card. There were so many games where that treasure mattered. Numerous t3 Lolith or t4 wrath/6-cost planeswalker that you simply cannot make happen with VR. Just saying that experience with the play sequence that DD allows that's simply not possible with VR makes it not a "all the rage" card. It is a straight up better card in "the deck".
Speaking of shambling ghast into deadly dispute, I did that on turn 1 then turn 2 in a draft and then dropped Lolth on turn 3. This was on the play. Safe to say I won that game
fuck standard format!!! this card is a KILLER in historic! i built a deck around it with Blood Artist , Bastion , Black Market , Scorpion , Nightmare Shepherd and its SICK....and if you add Karlov she triggers all of them TWICE!!!
I always blow my wildcards early in a new set...then regret it very much...I am a poor MTG player...should I blow 4 mythics on MEATHOOK? It looks fun...but will I regret it?
I really sounds like you're saying Immersturm Predator gains +1/+1 each time you sack a creature to it? It doesn't. That's only when it taps, so unless you have tricks to untap it you can't buff it more than once. You can give it indestructible a bunch of times, but that doesn't help it against Meathook Massacre.
Predator can only buff itself one point per tap. So it's not like you can cast massacre for 4+ and sac all your dudes to get it out of range, unless it's already got some counters on it. Only saying this cus Dev implies you can do this. Nice brews though
Others have probably pointed this out... But the planetary halo around your head Dev is a fantastic touch
I was literally brewing a Rakdos deck like this, sitting in the sun. Came inside, fired up TH-cam and Dev had brought the goods
Eyetwitch is like your first pet. When he dies, you learn.
Subtle Red Dragon reference. I caught that.
Mrs Leeds, changing. DO YOU SEE?
Recently got into Magic Arena and you are my favorite Magic Creator on TH-cam. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Since meathook massacre gives -x/-x, fireblade charger will have zero power when it dies
I was thinking the same thing.
But there are things you can still sac it to that will deal the damage once meathook is on the field
@@AutkastKain true, but it's a bit of a non-bo in the deck
Hey Dev! With the poster in the background... Makes it look like you have a halo. Very cool.
"send it back like it's got a hair in it"
You are so hyped!
I knew you would love the Meathook Massacre 🙏🏽
Thanks for the deck tech and killer f@#$!ng intro! You are my favorite channel for decks & set review!

Okay. Dev legitimately just made the best intro ever. Someone call Strange Music, Dev takin ova
10 out of 10 intro Dev!
Chef’s kiss on the intro
Yo Dev, great Dimir Meathook deck! For fun, I tried out Gisa in this deck (three copies) and it was some fiendishly good stuff, bwahahaha!
We need more beats and rap like in the beginning!!!
I'm rewtaching Breaking Bad at the moment, and that shot of your hallway with the open door at the end occurs a lot on the show, your house looks just like it. Lol
The intro is how I feel doing laundry outside my apartment
Never stop doing what you do Dev.
Saccing multiple creatures with Immersturm doesn't keep pumping it.
Was waiting for this congratulations on being the first
@@SBMTG Also, Fireblade Charger's ability does zero when you Meathook Massacre kill it because its power is zero...
More fun than murder?? Seriously, loved that intro
Recently added meathook massacre to my historic jund food/sacrifice deck. Really pushes it over the edge with the extra reach and ability to clear the board when the opponent goes wide

I've been playing twice as long and still agree, this might be one of the most balanced and fun standards I've ever seen.
The intro was a 10 out of 10!
Chrono cross chillin in the background. I found my copy the other day.
I like that we're kindred in our love of Acquisitions Expert.
this new vibe thou, love it man
Love the spooky videos!

Tons of potential for both of these

Got to be one of my fav intros!
I got an all black control deck with meathook massacre and also a demir zombie 🧟♂️ deck. Massacre loves decayed zombies.
I just used all my arena wild cards on your last deck tech. Now I have to get grinding to build these

Got a list?
10:30 i feel you Dev. I light up a candle every night for my buddy 😪 #bringitback
The first 40 seconds of this video are the best 40 seconds of my life.
that intro was very menacing
You got your intent with the intro. Creepy...
Both decks look solid and I just can't wait to build them! A question though, any tips on teaking these decks for BO1 format? Because I'm more into BO1 now.
that intro man!

that opening 👍👍👍😁
Off topic lol, I’ve got a b&g macaw, seen the bird cage in the background, what kind of bird do you have?

I have the same poster that you behind the couch omg
Doesn't Immersturm predator only get one chance to get +1/+1 as you cast your massacre? Or does "become tapped" not care about it being already tapped?
Would standard with both Bastion and Meathook have been too much?
need the instrumental urgently
Love ya dev, and I'm not just saying that so I get spared from the culling.
Awesome intro!
Love the horror intro XD
I don’t think you can sac multiple creatures to the Predator to pump it up. It triggers on the tap, not on the sac
Love the intro
This was amazing
Why not a Golgari brew?
