Oh yea this deck works super good for budget. I put this together today after watching your video because my cats deck wasnt cutting the mustard. Thanks for the info, subbed.
Probably the most synergistic budget deck I've played all year. If I had one complaint, it would be how often Spell Pierce outlives its use-fullness. Still, I tried trading them out for Negates, and that'll teach me. It doesn't take long to realize that the moments the 1 mana cost of Spell Pierce does pay off make them pretty necessary in this deck, even if they do end up going to waste about half the time. That other half... it's too critical to trade out for. I also questioned Merfolk Trickster after the first few games, but I have learned how incredibly valuable those little guys are here, and along with the 4 Stormtamers, they help up the chances for the discount on Wizard's Retort, which is just an awesome thing, and definitely makes Wizard's Retort the right choice over the other two three cost spell-counters in Standard atm. Really good stuff, and I thank you for posting it up, because I really am finding it to be a lot of fun.
I have this deck in paper. On my sideboard I also like to run a couple transmorgifying wands to deal with whatever threats an opponent may have so I can just fly over some oxes
Mr moss thank you for putting out amazing videos they are the highlight of my day. I have a question what do you think of black white aristocrats? And as always skadoosh
thamls for this video. I watch most of your decktecks and this deck has given me 2 deckbuild concepts. Ill shoot you the decklist later in the week and thanks again! Skadoosh!!!
@@jacebeleren2621 blue is still too strong in my opinion. At least the amount if card draw they have is way too cheap mixed with cheap ass counters. Its kinda op
@@geraldgatchell6058 it's called Meta Format what ever deck is good people will build it i agree with u it's annoying but that's Magic people want to netdeck the next thing
@@geraldgatchell6058 and i also agree with u that Nexus should have not been printed i played it once and i hated it i took 5 straight extra turns and was like this is no fun to play i tore the deck apart is was bant Nexus
This is the first build I've seen with 3 chart a course. It's a potent draw spell although you should main deck one or two copies of sleep for aggro matchups and side metamorphic alteration at one or two for stompy or midrange decks
Bad Boy Gaming well August is the next rotation and it's basically March. that's only 5 months. anyway I've almost got everything for the deck just need the sirens and tempest
When I'm constructing a deck from a list in paper (assuming you didn't mean arena), I'll usually get the cards I need on ebay. Or go to your lgs, search up which sets have the cards you need, and spend an afternoon looking through cards to build the deck you want (you'll save money this way but might not find everything you need). Buying packs from specific sets trying to assemble a specific deck is very inefficient and costly.
I've lost once to this deck as Bant. I have only 2 non creature spells which is 2 Vivien. I lost because I was white mana screwed. So I don't mind this deck really much but I can see why it is powerful with the 1drop counter for one blue
Long time ago I created a deck than function similar but red and blue, it have four goblin tunneler and four scroll thief, sleep, negate and other cards to support.
Watching gameplay... ad runs. For mtg arena Valentine's day event with danny trejo and DayNine. Caught me off guard with the "No! Bread is for winners " bit and cuts to DayNine with a awkward smile. Since he normally loses his battles against celebrities on GNS. Lol
I play a mono black removal deck in arena and my opponent play this deck one game. He had a 1/1 with curious obsession. I had 5 removal spells and he counted or dive down everything I did till he won.
This takes control to insanity. The way the creatures complement the enchantments is stupid. How did WoTC not see this coming? The only thing I can think to compare it to is the old Mining Grenade deck. Howling mines, Anvil of Bogardens, and Lightning Bolts with Goblin Grenades. Once you had 4 mana you just start discarding all the lands you draw. By the time you got your 2nd grenade off opponent was dead. But I think this deck would beat it.
So I litteraly starting playing since 2 days and mono U always been a thing for me how expensive is it to make it still figuring out the crafting system but can i just craft the single cards or do i need to buy packs and get lucky?
Well, it's undraftable now, so you should pretty much spend a hundred bucks or so to get wildcards enough to build it. Figure out which packs are most relevant in this deck and open those.
So that's what this was, well I crushed the net decker I fought with eldest reborning a belzenlock and filling the air with 2 doom whisperers afterwards
I am fairly new to the mtg scene And I play mostly with friends just for fun on the weekends But do you think this is a good deck to buy and start playing or should I find other alternatives to play? Also one of my friends told me that Is not worth buying something from ixalan because the game is gonna rotate with the new expansion? I didn't quite undertand that. Like I said, fairly new to mtg but any comment would be higly appreciated.
I got top 8 at a ptq with a Similar build it's quite an interesting deck to play and very annoying to play against but it's got too few responses to sweepers so unless you've got a counterspell open its gonna hit and if will hurt your game
But how does one who is just starting out on arena use this deck when none of the cards are in the starting packs? I also don't understand how a deck can be a "budget" deck on arena when you can't directly purchase any of the cards... But anyway, this deck isn't available to newcomers so it's hardly good for people just starting out.
@@gregthefishburger8270 im saying it is one of the decks out there with the least rares and mythics. So in a sense it is much easier to build then lets say blue white control. I was able to build mono blue after doing good in a few drafts and i think draft is the way to go if you are just starting out. I think
@@gregthefishburger8270 i was not trying to say the deck is given to you when you start out its kind of like mono red the less mythic and rare wild cards you use for a deck the easier it will be to build on arena. They say the game is free to play and it is only to an extent of what you are trying to get out of it if you are just trying to have fun the game is free but if you are trying to climb the ranks you are probly going to spend a few bucks to be competitive. I personally think they should start allowing ppl to trade and also let ppl talk to there opponent's that is half the fun in magic if you ask me.
I built one a few months back it’s a beast. I put a play set of her in and can get 2 hits with one card easy. I swap her out with faeries right after she attacks.
God I can't stand this deck but at the same time I love it. I think out of the 20 times I've played against this deck I've only won like 3 times and each time I won it was with my boros deck, but let me tell ya it was by the hair of my chin. Kinda wanna build it just to screw with people lol
Awe where is your need for a challenge? That is however why we play our decks right? To see which one is the best. You lose you figure out you need to tweak the deck a little bit. But the deck in which you are playing is very challenging.
@@gabrielefidanza4903 it's about the same as this except I run remand and a couple other cards, star city games has a couple deck list of mono blue for modern if you want to try it out
Can't do that with a paper card game. They ban cards, they don't nerf them. Bans in standard are unusual but they happen sometimes Curious obsession is nowhere near overpowered though. It's amazing in this deck but that's because the deck is built to support it
Oh yea this deck works super good for budget. I put this together today after watching your video because my cats deck wasnt cutting the mustard. Thanks for the info, subbed.
Lol at the second game. 'Lets see how a non ideal hand goes...' opponent scoops turn 2.

Blue is way strong right now with draw potential and cheap counter spells
Tbh it can be beaten easily, it only truly dominates against gates, and any control other than esper.
@@jacebeleren2621 blue is still too strong in my opinion. At least the amount if card draw they have is way too cheap mixed with cheap ass counters. Its kinda op
@@dredre2630 True, but think of it this way, you have only 7 and a half months left before anything rotates out...
Monoblue vs red deck wins. Which one is better for competitive?
IMO mono red
Just built this deck and it crushed Esper Control
“What is PT? Someone’ll figure it out.”
POUNDTOWN!!!!!
Deck doesn’t annoy me as much is the gate decks around right now
The gates aren't that bad are you going up against the nexus of gates decks? i have a creature version of the deck
What’s annoying is everyone and their mom put the Gate deck together one day one. Nexus should never of been printed

This is the first build I've seen with 3 chart a course. It's a potent draw spell although you should main deck one or two copies of sleep for aggro matchups and side metamorphic alteration at one or two for stompy or midrange decks
Instead of the mist-cloaked herald you could use slither blade it’s literally the exact same thing except it’s a 1/2
Just went 5-0 at my lgs with this list...definitely very strong
Very nice this deck is only 73 dollars to build and i think it's funny that it beats 250 to 400 dollar decks
@@battlebrothersgaming7841 only?!?! Wtf
so there a 75 cards in this deck ?
this seems like more of a 1 v 1 deck? Have you tried this in larger group play, or is there any adaptations for group play?
I really love Curious Obsession, i bought that on paper when it came out. How about an upgrade of this deck?
Joey, would you mind running the deck list of Drake Sasser from the scg classic? He placed 4th with a Nexus of gates variant
Could be fun
Well, this deck just got me to Mythic in record time... Now i can play the decks I want to play lawl
bad boy I want to get this deck but in just a few months some of these won't be standard.
Fall 2019 is a ways away.
Bad Boy Gaming well August is the next rotation and it's basically March. that's only 5 months. anyway I've almost got everything for the deck just need the sirens and tempest
Im new to mtg arena. How do you even get these cards? From what packs?
just make them using wildcards, but make sure u dont make cards u already have

Only one skadoosh?
I gotta get another one
*SKADOOOOSH*
I have a deck that is feared by my friends, a Tezzeret Artifact Mill. Joey, i would love to share this deck with you if possible
Never thought mono blue would be this strong anywhere but commander...
I've lost once to this deck as Bant. I have only 2 non creature spells which is 2 Vivien. I lost because I was white mana screwed. So I don't mind this deck really much but I can see why it is powerful with the 1drop counter for one blue
What's the cost of this deck USD?
Live? Or on Arena? Live, about 40 bucks. On arena, if you set out right now to obtain it through wildcards, we're talking about a hundred bucks.
Long time ago I created a deck than function similar but red and blue, it have four goblin tunneler and four scroll thief, sleep, negate and other cards to support.
Beats just about every deck that doesn't run U and counters. It's more versatile than RDW. 1 mana 1/1 unblockable can be abused so hard atm.
Are all these cards modern legal now?
You ever play on the Eastside of town?
where i can play the game online?
Beat this deck with selesnya angels with no sweat
I know it's not ranked but man mulliganning to even 5 when you had a great hand really bugs me for some reason
Antonio Bush I agree, that mulligan was really greedy

dont put curious on stormtamer. you sac them to protect the card you put curious on

does mtg ever balance it's cards? ..like change obsession to +0/1 instead of +1/+1? or is that too clever for them or something?
Can't do that with a paper card game.

Obvi this is annoying, but like the cards are cheap and I don't have much money soooo....
