Couple of minor slip-ups here. Reaper doesn't proc off of tokens dying and if Phoenix goes under Binding, you can't just play another one (should've used Tribunal as the example there). None of that changes how good this deck is though; it's the real deal
The most common request we get is to make gameplay videos for our deck techs. To do that as above-board as possible (read: without using programs like xmage and cockatrice), we'd need an MTGO account and, of course, some cards. ??????
22 hours after your comment, the video has 162 comments. Even if ALL of them were calling out Dev, you have $162. Try Pauper. Legacy is still a reach. 😅
Nice job spicing up the intro with a story. I think you have a good idea here and would like to see how you can expand on it. Looking forward to your future videos.
Finally got a chance to play a version of this last night - went 4-0. Modified main deck with 3x Treasure Maps instead of Seeker's Squires and 1x Eldest Reborn instead of 1 Reaper. Modified sideboard as well (added 3x Rituals of Soot and 2x Sword Point Diplomacy - took out Daredevil, Marshals, Blood Fast, and 1 Eldest). Matchups: Golgari (2-1); Boros Aggro (2-1); Azhor's Gateway (2-1); Mono-Blue Curious Obsession (2-1). Deck plays great - it is very consistent - Allegiance should bring even better pieces for this deck (if not just the mana). Well done, Dev!
I have discovered that having Karn and 4 treasure maps in an aggressive deck like this is pure gold. Gives you ascend quickly if needed and can make some huge dudes, or ramp into big demons in no time, and of course you can draw them sexy cards. Filtering out the 275th land in a row is also crucial to not stall. I fornone, welcome our Rakdos overlords! Great deck Dev, will try it once I've collected some cards on arena.
Oh and I usually add two copies of twilight prophet too in main. I've noticed that she can give that extra advantage and lifegain because I've been in many situations where the reaper stays in my hand so I don't die. Even if I have moment of craven and Contempt.
I've unfollowed almost all magic channels but I couldn't do that to you. Haven't watched one of yours in a awhile. Nice job sticking to it and improving the presentation.
I'm so excited for Midnight Reaper once Allegiances hits with Orzhov AND Rakdos coming. I could see it being so good in so many aggressive decks that acts as a decently statted 3 drop that provides a nice layer of protection against a Ritual of Soot or whatever else comes out. They can wipe your board, but then you draw a new hand.
I'm really looking forward to Orzhov in the new year. I just ordered a playset of Profane Procession because I think it in particular has the potential to be an INSANE card when the guild it belongs to is finally back.
Yes! Finally! Best intro and by far my favourite Deck. Great work as always. And I was thinking if anyone knows the List with multiple copies of Angrath in the Main he was tralking about.
If you are playing Karn, you should also probably play treasure map. The early game scry is amazing, and once it flips the treasures can make your Karnstructs stronger. Also, you can sac the treasures for cards later
I sometimes wonder if dev is playing a different version of magic. One where lava coil kills adonto vanguard. You can still cast spells exiled by ixalan's binding. Seekers squire is a 3 drop and midnight reaper triggers on dead tokens.
This is one of and always will be one of my favorite magic channels but for a $250 deck I couldn't help but feel underwhelmed. Mono blue mil was the ish for the price tag!!!!! I didn't put in KTS though....
I like to play R/B decks that focus on land destruction. With effects like Avalanche Riders and Endbringers Revel. Yes I know that it's not legal in standard
Don't know if Chainwhirler is a reliable 3-drop in this deck, RRR in a deck with cards that requires BB looks awkward, at least until we get the improved manabase in January.
Says black comes in with the unconditional removal... Shows Doom blade a card that literally can't kill 1/5th of the color pie. Still my favorite peice of removal though and only second to lightning bolt for my favorite instant.
I haven't been sick in like 11 years. Yesterday my niece sneezed in my face. The little cutie tried to cover up, but I got basted. I woke up today sick as shit. Right now I'm running a fever and its been so Kong since I've had one that i feel high. I'm a fever light weight i guess....
Rakdos Midrange is just a turn short in this meta. Dev's draw solutions answers its main problem, lack of card advantage. But it still does almost nothing against control. Eldest reborn and vraska's contempt can't do much if they get countered. This deck also gets out aggro'd and out crittered by most white weenie or GW tokens builds. If you are going to play midrange in this meta you have to play golgari. Dev knows what he is talking about with this Rakdos deck. It's a pile of good cards that relies on luck of the draw. That is not a winning strategy in competitive magic.

I wasn't gonna say anything Dev ;)

Demon of catastrophes might be just as good as doom whisperer in this deck. Definitely as a budget option
I totally understand evolving wilds but what do you think about fanatical firebrand? Removal and synergy with reaper.........
Will you ever add videos of your decklist? Using Arena or MTGO? It would be nice to see how you would run these decks.
Just a quick thing, Midnight Reaper specifies "nontoken" creature you control.
Kind of important haha
If I had a dollar for each person calling out dev's slip on midnight reaper, I'd be playing legacy rn
isaiah Winfree savage!
*playing a legal format

Don't stop saying flample! It's a great word!
We are witnessing the beginning of SBMTGs final evolve form with the new introductions. They're fantastic man
Blackmystix
The Mega evolution is still coming... watch out!
Nice job spicing up the intro with a story. I think you have a good idea here and would like to see how you can expand on it. Looking forward to your future videos.
I really like the intros before getting into the deck lately. Talking about what brings up the deck is very interesting and good food for thought.

Dude that history lesson into a sick song made for a beautiful start to the vid! :)
Great deck, love how you emphasized “spread love” , great deck, Best standard brewer on UA-cam
Love the intro, couldn’t agree more bout the three choices beginners make. I still have my red black destruction deck from when I was 7 lol
That intro was pretty well done. Bravo
My buddies and I drafted Shadows over Innistrad block and Ixilan block while backcountry camping. :)
That sounds like my kind of night.
Heaven!
Love the new intros you've been doing, keep up the great work!
This list, and your presentation, made me unreasonably happy. Thank you.
Love the picture of Sire of Insanity when you mention "destructive" BR players.
i absolutely love red black, it's been my first deck back when was 7° edition, cant wait for rakdos but this is interesting... tnx dev
Yesss! Perfect timing! I was just looking for a video to watch
Yes! Finally! Best intro and by far my favourite Deck. Great work as always.
And I was thinking if anyone knows the List with multiple copies of Angrath in the Main he was tralking about.
here's a link to it: decks.tcgplayer.com/magic/standard/turnipturnip/b-r-midrange/1341267
@@SBMTG Thanks a lot!
Add my vote to the count of people calling for you to continue the dope intros and the use of "flample."
Cool deck! Really looking forward to Ravnica Allegiance for more Rakdos shenanigans. :)
I love black red decks. But I also love blue green decks even more. Can't wait for the next set.
If you are playing Karn, you should also probably play treasure map. The early game scry is amazing, and once it flips the treasures can make your Karnstructs stronger. Also, you can sac the treasures for cards later
Joining into patreon Dev!! Been watching ur content for a while! Time to contribute the hard work :)
I absolutely love that you say Flample! Please dont stop :)
I sometimes wonder if dev is playing a different version of magic. One where lava coil kills adonto vanguard. You can still cast spells exiled by ixalan's binding. Seekers squire is a 3 drop and midnight reaper triggers on dead tokens.
Wow this deck will be fire when we get blood crypt!!! Nice job as always dev!
Great intro, not only decktech. More of this
WE LOVE THE INTROS!!!
“Destructive Types” LOL I lost it 😂
Sweet deck dude. Great work!
Great introduction... love the stereotyping. Dev you are so funny.
You sound very sarcastic with those periods
Notmy, I didn’t mean for it to come off that way. I truly think Dev is fun.
@@clintongermond7550 it's all good man just messing with you, dev is definitely a great guy
I love Magic and camping!
I learned how to play magic while camping :) Lots of cards were ruined in the process.
Hahaha I love that intro Also I used to play red black blue and my dad was definitely the first green player type
Man I can't wait for next expansion's Rakdos cards
Im actually thinking if mardu midrange could work. Think about it, you can use the boros angel, lyra, settle and do much more crazy fun things
Gonna try this out tomorrow night at FNM. Already have all the pieces except for the graveyard marshal's that you insist on lol I trust you tho
I am legit the #3 at the start. I love Rakdos burn! 🔥🔥🔥
Great intro. I miss my RB vamps
Enjoyed the fresh intro
This is one of and always will be one of my favorite magic channels but for a $250 deck I couldn't help but feel underwhelmed. Mono blue mil was the ish for the price tag!!!!! I didn't put in KTS though....
I like to play R/B decks that focus on land destruction. With effects like Avalanche Riders and Endbringers Revel. Yes I know that it's not legal in standard
Considerd Gruesome minagerie? and maybe riskfactor for card draw.
Holy shit I loved the intro! Please do more!!!!! Seriously
What about frenzy+map for the topdeck mode problem? You even already run pyros
should make decks on mtg arena really need test footage of these decks.
Midnight reaper says nontoken creatures on the card dev
By far my Favorite color combination..Rakdos all th way 😁
I play an aggro version of this. Swordpoint diplomacy is a boss card
Nice deck but i really dont understand the mana base. I get flooded 10 games out of 10. I cut it down to 23, hopefully it will get better.
Id run sword point or riak factor over karn
WRB midrange when the new set comes out?
Fanatical firebrand seems pretty synergistic.....
i'm so excited for rakdos in the next set 😈
So... what do you think about Doom Whisperer?
History intro! Hurray!
This looks like a deck I'd have fun playing
Don't know if Chainwhirler is a reliable 3-drop in this deck, RRR in a deck with cards that requires BB looks awkward, at least until we get the improved manabase in January.
thank you for showing all those decks without using MTGA!
I really like that you didn't build iz like Jim davis (With Dusk Legion Zelot and the two 1/1 Goblins in combination with Plaguecrafter)
Great deck Dev
Some stuff u said is not right, reaper doent draw from tokens
@Pumpin George Woah bruh, turn down the notch a lil will ya? Haters gotta hate but that dun make it right
What is doent
Finally. My deck is here.
could angrath be a good card for this deck?
is the music in the intro yours? if it isn't where did you get it?
Great intro!
Says black comes in with the unconditional removal...
Shows Doom blade a card that literally can't kill 1/5th of the color pie.
Still my favorite peice of removal though and only second to lightning bolt for my favorite instant.
Intro fire once again.
I got stomped by a Rakdos deck that was built around the same philosophy as this deck. Made me sad, but it was an enlightening experience.
What about demanding dragon?
Hoping to see some diplomacy at the end of a sword
No plaguecrafter?
Flample is a great word
Dev we need a deck based around Mox Amber! Can you brew us something? "FREE MANA IS ALWAYS GOOD" - Dev's Wife.
Love this deck!!
I haven't been sick in like 11 years. Yesterday my niece sneezed in my face. The little cutie tried to cover up, but I got basted. I woke up today sick as shit. Right now I'm running a fever and its been so Kong since I've had one that i feel high. I'm a fever light weight i guess....
I have actually played magic on a tree stump in the woods. Serious!
That's probably why I'm not excellent at either MtG OR camping. lol
I’d play Treasure Map in lieu of Dismissive Pyromancer. I think its filtering is better and it helps power karnstructs
I like the word Flymple!
LORD RAKDOS WILL RULE THIS WORLD!!!!!
Any reason you wouldn't consider chupacabra?
Ironically I seem to break this stereotype you speak of about camping and magic. Heck, I’ve played magic with friends while camping. Lol
Angrath makes me salty. Dude on arena dropped it and stole my thief of sanity and wrecked me
NO FLAMPLE IS A GREEN WORD DAMNIT
Haha when I first played I said I wanted to play white coz I liked have a board full of stuff
love ur Jafar shirt

I actually learned to play magic while in boy scouts so I literally learned to play in the woods.
Do NOT stop saying flample it is a BEAUTIFUL word
One love dev
You can’t play another Phoenix if one has already been exiled with Ixalan’s Binding. That’s the whole point of the card.
yeah, should've gone with tribunal. I wasn't thinking there
Noob question, can you get a phoenix out of ixalans binding by using lightning strike on him?
Seaweed Pete you for real?? Lmao
Why use Karn when you can use Angrath? Angrath is an amazing planeswalker that just kills things for the opponent.
Cant really play another phoenix after binding....you da man dev.
Who would win?
A board full of X/1s
