Just wanna throw this out there, you are super relaxing to listen to. After a long week, I like to fiddle with my cards and tinker with deck ideas while you talk about deck techs. You just get on camera and just talk. And I love that.
Hi dev! Fun brews as always :) I would maybe test impact tremors out of the sideboard, just for that extra value when you spew your hand out on the table.
Very awesome deck! I am certainly lovin' on the Cryptolith Rite these days. Just a thought--have you considered splashing colorless to sideboard in Warping Wail to help deal with those pesky sorcery sweepers? Drop in a couple of pain lands for each color in place of a few Mountains and Forests and switch out the Evolving Wilds for Warped Landscape. Might not be feasible, but when I hear "this deck has trouble with sweepers" my brain in the current Standard just jumps right to Warping Wail.
Funny, a lot of my ideas end up on your channel in some form. So one I've not got to work, but would love to is "bogle" in standard. I just can't get a working budget bogle deck to work. I'd love to see your take on it. Thanks for the thoughts, thanks for the tips (especially for us beginners), J.
Im really loving your decks! I built the mardu reanimator deck with a few of my own changes like adding mindrack demon, and topped at my locals, and there is a PTQ this sunday there. But anyway what do you think about splashing white instead and tech in clearing the wastes for the tokens, and thats a possible big bomb with burn from within. But that probably would increase the cost of the deck, but still I really apprecieate and enjoy your video's!
Given that cryptolith rite gives you access to all the colors, I wonder if you couldn't consider going outside of Gruul for the sideboard. maybe some counterspells to protect Rite.
Howdy! I'm thinking about making an Eldritch Moon Standard version of this deck. I didn't see any videos regarding such a venture, so I would like to ask for some tips. What I've theory crafted so far is something like this: 4X Beastcaller Savant 4X Hanweir Militia Captain 4X Duskwatch Recruiter 4X Hanweir Garrison 4X Wall of Resurgence 4X Nahiri's Machinations 4X Cryptolith Rite 4X Impact Tremors 4X Burn From Within 4X Hanweir Battlements 4X Battlefield Forge 4X Fortified Village 4X Game Trail 4X Needle Spires 4X Westvale Abbey Clearly it's more of a mid-range build, but any advice would be greatly appreciated!
If theres a lot of 0 power creatures in the assault formation deck, try running black so you can include behind the scenes and make all of your big dudes pretty much unblockable, plus add some fodder for dromokas command
Nissa, Voice of Zendikar would be nice in the side, but I know budget. Looks sweet though, I lov emodern elves and this looks sort of like that in standard.
What about From Beyond? We get to 4 mana fast enough and we get scions that are essentially +2 mana every turn. Get a bunch of them then just surge titanfall for the win.
i think maybe considering skyrider elf since you can get all the converge with the cryptolith rite and make a huge flyer which i see the deck being weak against flyers
Maybe run a commune in the sideboard for the lolz just because cat come for 12 then next turn chain cast a bunch of 1 mana dudes then drop a giant burn from within
+Leo Phillabaum dimir or golgari lack the ways to slowly ping your opponent to 13 or nuke them for 7 and leave them for dead. trisk decks are just meant to speed your opponent down and let the enchantment kill tbh
+Jordan Albee What about application with the new skulk mechanics? I truly believe skulk spirits + rattlechains can really create a pressured situation on your opponent.
+Leo Phillabaum generally skulk is gonna be that one guy who wants to play on a budget, but they can still be blocked if your opponent has weenies while burn cannot be stopped except by counter
+Jordan Albee No doubt it would be a very skilled deck to pilot but I feel confident. Plus my local meta is full of tutelage, esper, and various agro... A U/B control with a few arrogant unique win conditions. I'm trying to break the 13 deck hinted at in the flavor of the set.
+Jordan Albee I have a good brew I'm working on I just need some creative criticism. The deck stats out well. It just hasn't been play tested yet Way too much to proxy.
+Jordan Rank it's more of a way to say I like his music and to encourage him to share, rather than hound him about it. Internet makes it hard to do context :(
+tobias eriksson round 1 play insolent neonate. round two attack and titan strength it and end of turn use neonates ability and play a fiery temper. 7 damage round 2
+tobias eriksson jace is an great early game for discarding and drawing because you probably gonna play those discards bc of madness and chandra is an awesome mid gabe where she can do a lot of damage or throw you hand away and draw equal to that hand+1 and you totally madness some cards when you do
I've nerdily made a custom set that has some of the DBZ guys in it. It's a fun custom set; it's got people from all kinds of video games and anime and stuff sometimes I cube draft it for shiggles
problem with this one is it meats kozilik return or languish and crys for the rest of its short lived life. the gb aristrocrats answer is cuthroat fine kill 10 of my guys take 10 and the gw decks have nissa and gideon getting you over the magic number

You: Play all your stuff
Opponent: Play Kozileks Return.
You: Scoop.
Hence Ulvenwald mysteries in the side. That way sweepers only hinder you, not beat you out right.
7:25 I laughed so hard at your choice of pics

I'd love to see your take on the mill deck. I've seen blue red, and the blue black is killer to play against but haven't seen a mono-blue one.
40 seconds in and seen the best part... Geets has ALWAYS been my dude 👍
I really like this. Haven't been playing standard since rotation so I might have to try this. Cheers!

Can't wait to see that Assault formation deck!
Given that cryptolith rite gives you access to all the colors, I wonder if you couldn't consider going outside of Gruul for the sideboard. maybe some counterspells to protect Rite.
This is a really interesting deck, actually!! The only thing I'll say is that Pulse can't fetch out Burn From Within, only creatures and lands :P
Ermahgerd, Best Shirt ever! And Spirit Bomb Deck :)!
Howdy! I'm thinking about making an Eldritch Moon Standard version of this deck. I didn't see any videos regarding such a venture, so I would like to ask for some tips. What I've theory crafted so far is something like this:
4X Beastcaller Savant
4X Hanweir Militia Captain
4X Duskwatch Recruiter
4X Hanweir Garrison
4X Wall of Resurgence
4X Nahiri's Machinations
4X Cryptolith Rite
4X Impact Tremors
4X Burn From Within
4X Hanweir Battlements
4X Battlefield Forge
4X Fortified Village
4X Game Trail
4X Needle Spires
4X Westvale Abbey
Clearly it's more of a mid-range build, but any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Assault formation pleaseeeee
that is the best evolving wilds I have seen... need to get me some of those...
Have you thought about Kolaghan Forerunners in this deck?
Put a link to your music in the description :)
Would it be possible to see a Modern version?
If theres a lot of 0 power creatures in the assault formation deck, try running black so you can include behind the scenes and make all of your big dudes pretty much unblockable, plus add some fodder for dromokas command
I'd really dig the gixis deck tech, sounds pretty interesting
Maybe splash white for eerie interlude in sideboard?
Transformational sideboard card? Collected Company playset.
how about a green black delirium deck? or remorseless punishment using the accursed witch
You should play Beastcaller Savant in the main deck, probably in place of Jaddi Offshoot.
Nissa, Voice of Zendikar would be nice in the side, but I know budget. Looks sweet though, I lov emodern elves and this looks sort of like that in standard.
What about From Beyond? We get to 4 mana fast enough and we get scions that are essentially +2 mana every turn. Get a bunch of them then just surge titanfall for the win.
you still have to wait a turn to be able to tap them for mana, but waiting a turn fire an extra mana isn't bad
any suggestions for a less-budget version of this? 4 abbot in place of elvish visionary?
Where are you finding Duskwatch Recruiter for .40?
Tcgplayer a week ago lol. You can still get them as low as .75 on TcgP, but median price $2.35
Strictly Better MtG Aaaaand I'm snaggin me some of those, Thanks Dev.
I feel you could play Beastcaller Savant too. Another cheap Haste creature.
Liked video after intro song.
when does this guys mixtape drop?
I was thinking of splashing white for secure the wastes and making it naya burn, What would you cut for secure the wastes?
i was waiting for this deck
For an upgrade, maybe Abbot over Neonate?
Quick question why are the Lightning berserkers only in the SB shouldnt at least 1 or two be in the Main?
Hi Dev! Big fan here, btdubs. So listen, is there hope for an elf deck to break through the meta still? Equipped with rites, maybe.
there's no elvish mystic, so probably not. however, if there is, it's a g/b company deck.
True. but what about cryptolith rite into something massive like atarka or ulamog?
cryptoramp dies to wraths
Sorry, elves. No comebacks for you after all.
KV Jaxx sorry not sorry
I had this on 1.25 speed at first. Thought you were sniffing the good stuff
for some reason, I thought it was going to be a spirit deck, but this is a cool idea.
How do you come up with deck ideas?
(newbie to mtg here) would westvale abbey work well in this? I have a couple i could throw in?
do a mono green standard. i really want that assault formation too
Play atarka's command as alt win con?
nice i also have a deck like this with 4x burn from within
What is the name of that song in your intro?
i think maybe considering skyrider elf since you can get all the converge with the cryptolith rite and make a huge flyer which i see the deck being weak against flyers
Why not throw some den protectors in to have a good option to get cryptolith rite or burn from within back.
Maybe run a commune in the sideboard for the lolz just because cat come for 12 then next turn chain cast a bunch of 1 mana dudes then drop a giant burn from within
I proxyed white solder/humans with green mostly for cryptolith rite. it's cool
4 Forest
4 Temple of Plenty
8 Plains
2 Westvale Abbey
4 Sunpetal Grove
4 Champion of the Parish
3 Hero of Bladehold
3 Mentor of the Meek
4 Consul's Lieutenant
1 Elspeth, Sun's Champion
1 Elspeth Tirel
1 Quarantine Field
3 Intangible Virtue
1 Parallel Lives
3 Cryptolith Rite
2 Second Harvest
4 Raise the Alarm
3 Secure the Wastes
4 Gather the Townsfolk
3 Increasing Devotion
oh nvm I forgot it's in modern.. duh..
i feel like you could ramp into a really big dumb eldrazi really easy like this
do red white allies with Munda
Where did you get that opening music
that's his voice man! I wish I could find some kind of other outlet for his musical talent though
SOI has been out for a while and I still would love to see a triskaidekaphobia deck that doesn't run red. Maybe a dimir or golgari theme

hmm explosiveness and fun factor might be good additions to the list......
Spitting bars
I feel like a full playset of vessel of volatility would make this deck a nightmare once it gets rolling.
Does Cryptolith stack if multiple are in play?
Naw
Yes, but you can only activate one at once making it useless
ok, thank you
It's over 9000!!!
dam that opening tho>.>
are you ever going to make a music channel? because you really should
Mill deck tech!
B/R Madness Deck tech??
Vegeta, much respect lol
So I did modern for the first time yesterday and uh.... Well Kiki jikki is a thing lol
for real, 5th time I've asked, pls link me your music
+Jordan Rank
it's more of a way to say I like his music and to encourage him to share, rather than hound him about it.
Internet makes it hard to do context :(
+Jordan Rank This is the internet so I HAVE to do this: you're*
grixis madness with kolaghans command, dark dwellers and jace (cries) is too boss
Does any one else like zendikar resurgent for this deck? It helps a bit with mana and gives you Gas and 7 mana doesn’t seem hard to get to.
Castigator assault formation, do it!
G/W Warriors or B/G Delirium please....
Dev, we need your music. We NEED it.
I really like this......
I'm building a awesome madness deck with some vamps, instants and chandra and jace
red, blue and black deck
+tobias eriksson round 1 play insolent neonate. round two attack and titan strength it and end of turn use neonates ability and play a fiery temper. 7 damage round 2
+tobias eriksson jace is an great early game for discarding and drawing because you probably gonna play those discards bc of madness and chandra is an awesome mid gabe where she can do a lot of damage or throw you hand away and draw equal to that hand+1 and you totally madness some cards when you do
I could remove black from the deck but for right now I don't have the cards for it.
Assault formation!!!
Vegeta got an epic comeback in Dragon ball super. I hope we will see someday a dragon ball z set for magic :)
I've nerdily made a custom set that has some of the DBZ guys in it. It's a fun custom set; it's got people from all kinds of video games and anime and stuff sometimes I cube draft it for shiggles
assault formation goes with goldnight castigator.....!!!!!!!?????why not do red green?crater elemental as well goes with that combo.
They're both in the Temur deck
Dev, love all of your deck's. Pulse cannot pull Burn from Within out of the graveyard.
love the shirt
run eldrazi scion tokens, tap them for mana, then sack them for more
Lightning berserker? Dash him in for haste returns to your hand for fall of the Titans
problem with this one is it meats kozilik return or languish and crys for the rest of its short lived life. the gb aristrocrats answer is cuthroat fine kill 10 of my guys take 10 and the gw decks have nissa and gideon getting you over the magic number
Why not a couple ulamogs in here
Budget
ah
Perhaps silver fur partisan?
Damn i am still torn between cryptored and cryptowhite. But i think its gonna be red now. the price of secure the wastes is just so dam high noe
+scott Evil Why is nobody calling cryptowhite "Cryptolith Wite"
***** well i think because its shorter.
True but.. But... Puns
***** ;)
Others have said it already. I have said it before, but..
Give us the music, DEV! I wanna hear the whole track!
I Built a Super Friends of Seasons Past Deck that is incredibly fun and consistent. if you interested let me know
Please make mill deck
Vegeta all the way!
Blisterpod with cryptolith rith and WeSTVALw ABBeY
Rouge include alert! ADD THE GREAT AURORA!
No Goggles? :p
Budget
Remember when Goggles was a buck? lol
+Rash
This.
Duskwatch Recruiter is $2.50, not $0.40.
Think this is the 8th time I've asked, but please... Give us the music.
Drop loam dryad and add from beyond
No one will Answer me but the odds on getting the combo peices with this deck is awful :/
ITS AMAZING IN MY VERSION
Why not green white humans
This video is amazing hahahaha
BLISTERPOD
We have to have a way of forcing it to die for it to be any good
it chumps
+Strictly Better MtG all day long
+Strictly Better MtG also leap makes the deck a lot more resilient against control and sweepers
Mill
