Awesome work. Great deck for more budget conscious players. Amazing to see you bounce between a format like Timeless to a deck like this and the quality of the content remains excellent. Thanks.
I forget that network disruptor can tap down lands too, interrupting the opponents tempo in the process. It can force them to make awkward plays. Very useful card.
Thanks for this video and taking in to consideration that some of us struggle with the scarcity of wildcards! Will have to try this deck later, seems fun
I got a little chuckle out of the first match with LVD and his mono white avatar playing mono blue and is opponent with a mono blue avatar playing mono white.
trying this same deck out but made some changes that seem to work pretty well if your fine raising the budget a bit. replaced the fading hopes with march of swirling mist to possibly protect from a sweeper or clear the board for a big attack, replaced the bike with schooner for a bit of a stronger vehicle that can make your evasive creatures better/draw cards, and also added in mirrex to generate artifact creatures in case i run out of artifacts for the retrofitter and zoetic glyph
I absolutely LOVE Zoetic Glyph! I run a deck with cheap flying artifact creatures including Malcators Watcher (draw a card and discover 3 when it’s killed with glyph on it, highly recommend) finish with a pair of Twining Twins, a couple of Steel Seraphs and Michikos Reign of Truth 👍
I love the zoetic glyph so much! such a fun card! Is there anyway I could splash red into the deck? I really like the core of it, but I also like animating the diamond pick axe for indestructible, and the lizard blades to swing with a 5/4 double strike turn 3.
Following your channel and your awesome decks for a while now... this one is amazing for someone like me; a cheapskate prefering budget decks with low manacosts overall. On top of that it clears the "attack with creatures"-task pretty well -- somewhat aggro but far from braindead. Got some satisfying games with it (more will follow). Subscribed - Thanks a bunch!
thank you for this deck! I'm a relatively new player (started playing after a bit after WoE release), and until now I desperately tried to get expensive decks like Esper legends, Azorius control, Golgari mid, and playing with half-assed versions of them (half of the lands missing, etc) has been painful, while mono red is boring AF and mono blue is too vulnerable to Cavern of Souls. Playing felt like a nightmare tbh. This deck is so fresh and interesting, that even losing with it does not make me too angry (as it usually does). I also looked at some of your other videos, and the content is great, so keep it coming!
Commanders like Feather probably don't need a lot of rares (besides lands) since you can just play a bunch of pump spells. Not super interested in watering down decks where the card quality is important, just need to find one where it doesn't matter.
@@CSmania1991 It's a way to sneak in your creatures if you're already attacking with an unblocked creature. Most of them will have a nice effect when they hit the opponent, so the payoff is worth it if you can set it up.
Maybe ledger shredder would be a good substitute for hacker. It doesn't have any artifact synergy, but it's pretty good in a low-curve aggro deck and is also budget friendly.
Love this build and wondering if there's anyway to lean it blue+white? (similar to the convoke boros using warden of the inner sky and Caetus, Sea Tyrant?)
@opposite342 That's fair. After playing the deck myself a bit, I can certainly see what he means. Hacker feels amazing when you have Siren (or any of your other 1 drops) T1 into Hacker, replay Siren T2. At any other point in the game, he feels super awkward. I will try to cut some of them but maybe that's too many vehicles, we'll see. Thanks for the suggestion 🙂
@@StyloMilo219 yeah and another thing is that turn two also seems like the turn to leave up some mana for the vehicle/counter against whatever the opponent is doing (the Thalia in the vid is an example, or if they're aggro you might want to tap their creatures).
Why most good 4 rare-ish decks are almost always mono red or mono blue? If that curious obssession - UUU djinn abomination wasn't so good I wouldn't have played arena the long time I had. Unfortunately it is more stonks to make your game a realized skinner box so I quit arena for some time now :/.
Burn spells, bounce spells and counterspells are usually Common or Uncommon. Savannah Lions set the precedent for white aggro creatures to be bumped up to Rare, even if we are seeing a shift to uncommon for those types of cards in recent years, it still persists throughout Magic design. Green ramp cards are usually lower rarity, but the payoffs are always Rare or Mythic since they need to be powerful. Black gets good removal at lower rarities, but the winconditions still tend to be high power cards, since those removal spells lend themselves to midrange and control strategies. Those decks also tend to be multicolor, requiring rare lands. And as we all know rare lands sell Magic packs. TL;DR it's basically ingrained in Magic design, for better or worse.
@@Sanguivore wow. Thought the entirety of standard, ranked or not, was just mono-W humans, esper legends, mono blue "you don't get to play" and "mono black Sheoldred". Surprised
Please don't encourage toxicity by disliking a video of a deck you don't like. Couldn't imagine being this fragile behind a pile of commons and uncommons.

Much appreciated!
THAT THALIA READ, incredible, this is why I watch you
not to rain on his parade, but once you know the decks that are played In standard that's a pretty obvious turn 2 follow up

I don't generally enjoy monoblue very often, but this deck seems pretty fun
I'm doing really well with this deck! Thanks LVD!
Great to hear!
On cardmarket this deck is 6€ for the cards +8€ shipping (if you ditch the expensive lands). I love mono blue
Love how he says "our opponent explodes"
Mono blue tempo is back on the menu boys!
This deck may make me return to play standard, is really sweet!
Crafted it spending only 1 rare. Thanks for the deck list
Please do more budget decks. They’re super interesting and great for people like me who don’t want to spend loads of money on the game.
Thanks for this video and taking in to consideration that some of us struggle with the scarcity of wildcards! Will have to try this deck later, seems fun

To this city to give you a message.
Sounds familiar 😂

YUUUUUSEIIIII!
Glad to see the ensoul artifact decks making a comeback
Hey man this is great content. Nice to hear your thoughts and playing around the various possibilities the opponent give you.
Glad you enjoyed!
8:20 Why is the token a map map map map golem? I'm assuming it's just an Arena bug, but it's an odd bug.
I got a little chuckle out of the first match with LVD and his mono white avatar playing mono blue and is opponent with a mono blue avatar playing mono white.
Awesome!! This deck is very flexible and powerful, and is very friendly to players who lack wild cards.
Even the budget decks you make are fun, powerful, and synergistic! You're awesome, man! Keep up the awesome work! 😊

Love the originality of this deck!
Having fun with this deck, would love to see some more budget decks!
Covert Technician and Case of the Filched Falcon work rather nicely in this deck as well :)

Sounds like a fun variant!
omg yea I love that version of Izzet Artifacts. Fun synergy with Gleeful Demolition and Diamond Pickaxe too. As well as Unctus Retrofitter.
Also he's a rare but Unctus himself is great in this deck

Very fun deck indeed. Driverless air bike wielding sword is super cool!
Got to diamond with this decklist. I think my mileage may run out here, but it was fun zooming through the lower ranks with a high speed hoverbike
Very nice!
Finally, a rival for my rat colony deck
I love mono blue in standard, this video makes me want to install and pla arena again

Would there be any potential upgrade for this budget deck or do you think its already kinda optimised?
Nice deck!! Tested it out and immediately won twice against mono red on the draw :D
Nice work!
@@LegenVD
Still the deck Im using most ^^ Your lists are just great and super fun!!
Wow i swept 10 wins in a row with this deck from gold 3 to plat right after crafting. such a fun high roll
Thats an amazing deck and video. Thank you it looks really fun to play.
Just as an idea, can you make a budget friendly brawl deck?
Commanders like Feather probably don't need a lot of rares (besides lands) since you can just play a bunch of pump spells.
Not super interested in watering down decks where the card quality is important, just need to find one where it doesn't matter.
I've seen Rat Colony decks do pretty well, but the gameplay is quite repetitive.
Walls with Arcades is a fairly cheap brawl deck.
it was not an easy ride, but I got to Mythic with this deck yesterday, so just one more shoutout and thanks :)
Nice work!

@@CSmania1991 It's a very recent deck, unlikely to change much with the new set.
@@CSmania1991 Yeah, just a coincidence.
Maybe ledger shredder would be a good substitute for hacker. It doesn't have any artifact synergy, but it's pretty good in a low-curve aggro deck and is also budget friendly.
also, that mono blue Tezzeret from Kamigawa would be a BEAST in this deck
Would love to see Seedchrome Seedshark used too!
yeas! thank you.
I built a similar deck last week but instead of playing ninjas and motorcycle I use schoner, cauldron, surge engine and unctus. The rest is the same
Astonished to see an elite player defeating different opponents with a budget deck, while I struggle to survive with a top tier one. 😢
Love this build and wondering if there's anyway to lean it blue+white? (similar to the convoke boros using warden of the inner sky and Caetus, Sea Tyrant?)
What replacement did you have in mind for the Hackers? (I don't mind if they happen to be rares)
Does zoetic glyphs discover ability work with 0/0 creatures like stonecoil serpents?
The goat mono blue yesssssiiirrrrrr
Should probably tap picnic ruiner at upkeep in the event they draw into a protection spell
Good point! Haven't seen those deck run hexproof tricks but it is possible.
10:26 Shoulda just put the hacker in hand. Woulda pushed an xt point on the following turn along w drawing a card & making another map token.
I'll make Dimir out of this! Hell, I'd make Dimir out of monoR if I could!
Awesome deck! Who would’ve thought mono blue wasn’t just counters
Whats the character on the left of the thumbnail?
Prosperoous Thief
32:22 opp being an asshole and LVD being completely oblivious is so cute
Opp was reading the equipment so it wouldn't be farfetched if that oops was for letting it equipped onto the gingerbrute
OMG this deck...[Immediately begins digging for *Leviating Statue* in collection]
I have 3 Subterranean Schooners from drafting. Does anyone have any suggestions where i could slot those in?
I guess you could try it instead of moon circuit hacker as legend said that the card is the weak one in the deck.

In Ranked, yeah. I’m Plat and haven’t come across an entire Mono-Blue deck in months.

4 mana counterspell haha
Please don't encourage toxic decks. First vieo of yours disliked.
How is the deck toxic?
Also curious ^
@adedamolayusuff5995 assuming bc it's blue but this is fun blue instead of countering everything you do blue
