Thanks so much! I will try this out for my first actual deck. I just started MTGA (used to play a tiny little bit of paper like 8 years ago) and didn't want to build a mono red cuz it feels a bit too cheesy and boring to me.
Thanks very much for this! I'm always so short on rare wildcards :P I do'nt have 4 crabs at the moment, so I threw an Archmage of Runes in, and I feel it's worked pretty well :) EDIT: Amazing. I've never had a deck do this well, ESPECIALLY with no rares. Amazing. I always hate being trolled by annoying decks, so I'm delighted to be the one doing the trolling XD
thanks for the feedback, glad you have so much success with it :) i didn t expect the archmage do well in this since it has high cmc but well, especially because the crab seems so good to me but obivously you know how to play it :) have fun.
If you can shell out a few wildcards, if you look up Haughty Dijon worlds mono blue control any of those decks are stupid strong i pushed to mythic just by countering spells
yeah, three steps ahead instead of Refute are good. you can also try haughty djinns instead of Enter the Enigma, shore up or some terrors. good luck :)
Great list, and damn It feels good to have unsummon in a deck like this, into the food maw is pretty good and It might be better in decks that can be hit hard by lockdown but in a deck like this unsummon is so much better, by the time u play the terrors and crabs they are significantly overstatted for their cost so they are almost always worth saving with and unsummon
thanks for the comment, glad you like it :) it s good too, you can replace the demolition field with it. i wouldn t add more than 2 non-islands. have fun.
I'm loving this deck, it feels so good to disrupt a "higher quality" deck with blue's counterspells. I struggle with decks that go wide, specially on the draw, like hares but vs anything else I'm finding a lot of success. By the way, what do you think of including a couple copies of Into the Flood Maw for enchantments that could not be blocked? Edit: An upgrade that is working wonders for me is replacing a Demolition Zone with Rogue's passage. It allows me to remove an Enter the Enigma, which is a card that underperforms the most for me. With the free slot you can add another bounce or counterspell
thanks, glad you have success with this. yeah, go wide decks can be a pain since this brew doesn t have boardwipes. you need to be able be very fast with playing the biggies to win. i don t understand what you mean with the enchantmens that could not be blocked. unblockable creatures? there are 2x Into the Roil which can handle almost anything... if you encounter too many permanents which are an issue you can swap Unsummon for ItFM.
It would be interesting to see budget mono blue homunculus horde in action. I've tried to build around cloning homunculs and wizard fairies triggered by card draw. But it did not worked well in standard ranked - 1 win and around 10 loses
hi, it s a fun card for sure but maybe a little bit too expensive for a 2/2. however, i still have it on the drawing board doing a "draw 2" deck. not sure if mono blue or dimir but maybe you can exchange some of the cards with the horde. have fun.
@@andreperesramos174Gracias. Aún no lo he probado con Haughty. He estado probando esta baraja muchísimo y por lo general los cambios que le he hecho no me han gustado a excepción de meterle dos Flow of Knowledge que van muy bien, un Fountainport y un Rogue's Passage. Es increíble cómo le puedes ganar a mazos de corto alcance tipo mono red y al mismo tiempo a otras barajas de late game. Increíbles resultados. Voy a ver si se me ocurre algún cambio más, pero esos instants de 1 van súper bien.
@@phantasmsplayground That's right, although it's is almost the same thing to be honest. The key difference is the "third card". MOT give you a chance to choose between the three cards while Curate make you either gamble with the third card. Curate also is better in decks that care more about drawing than just putting a card in the hand, like MOT
wouldn t be my choice because it s slow and doesn t contribute to the crab/terror strategy. haughty djinn fits good. but you can try it, not everybody likes to play the same ;)
Kinda surprised there is no aetherize with all the aggro decks running around. I've been trying that and minor misstep (with haughty djinn, no crabs) and it works better than expected.
@@testerfritzI think the point is he’s using unsummon defensively quite a bit not for bounce, so This Town gives a 2fer for one more mana. 1mana can make a big difference early. If you lose an early threat, may not be able to come back so 2cmc may be too much. Fun to test though
@@Sleep-65 i m playing many of my zero rares with my alt account up to and in mythic but my mmr is much lower there. they are not good enough for numbered mythic.

what a perfect deck againts that monoblack, definetely gonna try this, thank you :D
you mean against discard? yes, this works not bad ;)
good luck and let me know how it worked for you.
Again, kudos for this deck. It's plain amazing, I've been having so much fun! Thanks!
thanks, again, glad you like it so much :)
24:58 I also turn off those TVs as soon as I enter that map :D
...they are annoying ;)

hi,
thanks for the comment, really appreciate :)
this is definitely smt completly different than mono red ;)
hope you like and have success with it...
nooo dont go to the dark side 😂😂

That first win was so nice
:)
Thank you very much for this deck !
Do you have any upgrades to recommend by inserting some rare/expansives cards ?
yeah, three steps ahead instead of Refute are good.
you can also try haughty djinns instead of Enter the Enigma, shore up or some terrors.
good luck :)
Great list, and damn It feels good to have unsummon in a deck like this, into the food maw is pretty good and It might be better in decks that can be hit hard by lockdown but in a deck like this unsummon is so much better, by the time u play the terrors and crabs they are significantly overstatted for their cost so they are almost always worth saving with and unsummon
exactly, especially with other bounce cards unsommun is better in a brew like this, even if you don t need it much to bounce your own creatures...
Impressive list, nice stuff!
What are your thoughts on running Hidden Grotto has a 1-2 of for additional Surveil value?
thanks for the comment, glad you like it :)
it s good too, you can replace the demolition field with it. i wouldn t add more than 2 non-islands.
have fun.
Amazing deck tabeurnak!
thanks for the comment, glad you like it :)
@@phantasmsplayground Your welcome Tabeurnak!
Finally mono blue deck!
:)
Zero Rare SUPER POWER. Keep up!
...thanks :)

there are 2x Into the Roil which can handle almost anything...
if you encounter too many permanents which are an issue you can swap Unsummon for ItFM.
@@phantasmsplayground I mean turn 1, 1 mana artifacts or class enchantments for example. Ill try a couple copies of ItFM and see how it works. Thanks!

Amazing deck. Is there a way to make it even better if we add rares and mythics?
Look up Haughty Djinn decks
Yes, Haughty Djinn is a good rare in this deck and maybe three steps ahead.

yeah, three steps ahead instead of Refute are good.
you can also try haughtys instead of the terror.
good luck :)
@@phantasmsplayground Many thanks! I am also trying "An Offer You Can't Refuse", I need to play it more to see if I like it enough.
would haugty djinn be a good adition to this deck? what cards should i replace?
three steps ahead instead of Refute are good.
you can also try haughtys instead of the terror.
good luck :)
Nice deck! Although, I am curious to ask your opinion about Curate being better than Moment Of Truth
i like to dig deeper.
@@phantasmsplayground I see. I prefer to fill up the graveyard to reduce the cost of the crab and the serpent
@@chiuka0 makes sense too of course. so you play 4 curate instead of the MOT?
@@phantasmsplayground That's right, although it's is almost the same thing to be honest. The key difference is the "third card".

Would overlord of flood pits be good in this deck if I already have them?
wouldn t be my choice because it s slow and doesn t contribute to the crab/terror strategy. haughty djinn fits good.
but you can try it, not everybody likes to play the same ;)
@@phantasmsplaygroundthanks!
Perfect update to this iconic deck
thanks, glad you like it :)

4 cmc is expensive without Haughty.
i think too it s too expensive. but if you like it...there are some situations where it s very good for sure.
Instead of Shore Up or Unsummon, might as well use This Town Ain't Big Enough. For 1 extra mana, get a choice to dump something else back into hand.
No good targets in this deck. It's better for the Simic.
@@testerfritzI think the point is he’s using unsummon defensively quite a bit not for bounce, so This Town gives a 2fer for one more mana. 1mana can make a big difference early. If you lose an early threat, may not be able to come back so 2cmc may be too much. Fun to test though
There’s also Run Away Together
How about get out as a 1 of?
Pretty good to save your guys form board wipes
i even dind t use TTABE in the simic, so it was no discussion i don t like it in this either...
maybe some prefere it, i don t...
very less violence from opponents 😅
you mean spot removal which trys to eliminate my creatrures?
Play this deck in ranked. xD
hi,
i do, but i don t ranked vids with the zero rares.
@phantasmsplayground you should, as a challenge. If you're top 500 mythic, hitting high plat or diamond should be easy.... I think. xD
@@Sleep-65 i m playing many of my zero rares with my alt account up to and in mythic but my mmr is much lower there.
they are not good enough for numbered mythic.
@@phantasmsplayground good enough for plat or diamond. :)
@@Sleep-65 for sure, also at mythic up to maybe 95% but then it gets tough...it s all about your mmr.
