I'm ecstatic you've been putting gameplay in videos recently. I really enjoy being able to see how your tecks work without having to build them first. Keep up the great work Dev!
The deck tech/gameplay hybrid is a winning combo, imo. Keep up the good stuff Dev! looking forward to all the discussion that will come up after rotation!
Dev is the man. I'm getting my life together and will be having some money. When I do I'm instantly joining your patreon. I know that isnt helpful right now, but you deserve every cent you are given. Also ziggy
Because I didn’t have an extra wild card I replaced one Experimental Fury with 1 Chandra, Flames furry. After bad hands on 2 games I haven’t lost sense. Amazing deck! I’ve been watching you for a couple years now and have played a few of your decks. Awesome content and awesome knowledge! Thank you!
Love the Amethyst shirt! I've been playing something similar but I think I like some of your choices a bit better. The deck has been playing excellently since I adopted the main board Frenzy. Thanks!
I fucking love this, I built and edited your Mill deck you did a while back with ashiok and won a FNM local lol, and now I think I'll adapt this deck and change some things like adding a Krenko somewhere and see how far I go in a FNM love your videos man. Have an awesome day!
I've been getting these notifications right before bed the last few times. It's an internal debate for me when I have to contemplate staying up or saving this for my day off's morning coffee and chill ritual. Thursdays are stacked with my channels uploading, and this is *the way* to start it off. Oh, praise! Praise
Bruh.. this deck is SICK! I played against it on arena a day before you dropped this vid and I was blown away. After watching this I built it immediately, and now it is my go-to over my beloved but soon to rotate mono blue tempo. Keep up the amazing work
nearly got this combo going in a commander game yesterday (Temur Omnath in command). I was going to swing with the Spitfire and a ton of elementals from Firecat Blitz, but it didn't quite come off. Hilarious combo though. I like that this is a red deck with some unusual interactions.
This deck is awesome! I would love to see a video about a *non-budget* upgraded version of this deck that’s more optimized, containing more expensive cards like the Runaway Steam-Kin card you mentioned in the video.
I would also like to know what you swapped the Heartfires out for, as well as how many Heartfires you put in and what other changes, if any, you made to the deck.
Thanks to upgrading my previously-budget mono-red burn deck, I already have some of the more expensive cards you mentioned. All I've got to do to convert my current deck into this one is pick up the Chandra's Spitfires and a bunch of dudes with Scorch or Torch in their names. That, plus a few Token cards and Grim Initiates, is only going to cost me about $3! Thank you Dev and Thank you TCGPlayer!
I am new to MTG and cannot get enough of your videos :) If I did want to use Runaway Steam-Kin on my main board, how many should I use and what should I take out to make room?
No mention of Krenko? I'm surprised. I love this deck and I'll be playing it soon, in fact the first video I ever made on my channel was a cavalcade deck.
Hot take: Krenko isn't good. Even if you can give him haste he's pretty meh. But without haste you don't get value off krenko for essentially 3 turns. Legion Warboss is better, you get immediate value that just goes up every turn it goes unanswered. I've been trying krenko in all sorts of decks (even in different formats), because I was hyped for the card, but it has consistently underperformed.
So I've been playing this deck in Arena and paper since you released this video and it's got s pretty good win rate. Would you do a non-budget upgrade version of this deck too, please?
Great content as always Dev. The latest vids with the game play are top notch!!! Great to see the breakdown since I don't get enough time to play. Question though.... what if you didn't care about rotation proof? Are there any substitutions you would make? If so, would they make the deck any better?
Shouldn’t you be using the goblin smuggler to make the spitfire unblockable? I think it would be a good addition for sideboard if they’re running a flyer deck
I got a mono red goblin deck using cavalcade. One of the most underrated and crippling creatures that no one talks about is clamor shaman. He just shuts games down
You could add Chandra 4 from War too. It has a cool interaction with Chandra 3 that let you ult 1 turn earlier (or earlier [not recomendable]) if you happen to have both
I've been obsessed by CAVALCADE OF CALAMITY since it came out. Played many versions on Arena: Mono Red, Boros, Rakdos... M20's new adds does raise the Calamity to another level. The only thing missing I feel is a way to fetch that MVP enchantment. But I don't see this happening in mono-red of course. Didn't think of EXPERIMENTAL FRENZY to speed things up. I'll try this out.
If I may suggest a couple Cryptic Caves (+18 Mountains). We want to hit hard and fast. Flooding and lack of card draw are the weaknesses of this deck. If you do flood, it's nice to just cash one in for some possible gas.
Cool & very FUN deck to play!! Those huge attacks, when you can pull then off, are awesome. For casual play, is there a way you could use the red enchantment "IMPACT TREMORS" for making even crazier, huge attacks with Spitfire? I'm not sure about all the timing interaction(s) that would occur with this card in play when new 1/1's enter the battlefield. Thanks.
Thanks for posting. Great idea. New to mtga and has helped me climb quickly. Starting to bottom out in mid silver. Any ideas for rotation proof ways to upgrade? My biggest problem is not seeing calamity early enough. I only used 1 spectacle though to limit rare craft requirements.
I've been playing this deck for awhile now on arena, you should try thunderkin awakener and scampering scorcher. essentially it helps to get a wide board to swing and build for more cavalcade triggers the next turn.
BlueRidgeSilverhound I don't run frenzy, grim initiate, our torch courier. instead of torch courier I have 3 scorcher, instead of frenzy I run 3 awakener, and I run 3 fanatical firebrand instead of grim initiate I think.
My opponent had Calamity and Spitfire and Fire Walla out, but no hand. I was at 18. He was at 1. I had a lethal board. He topped deck 4 mana 3 elemetals card and one shot me.
Hey, I wanna try this deck. I was just wondering if you think this will be a good deck to use after rotation or if there will be major counters to it in Throne of Eldraine. I was thinking about buying a bunch of Throne of Eldraine packs in Arena once the set is out and then using the wildcards to build this set, as I don’t have enough wildcards right now but don’t want to buy non-Throne of Eldraine packs since I want the new cards, but do you think there’ll be better and more fun mono-red decks in Throne of Eldraine, or should I dedicate my time and money to this deck?
Not rotation proof, but I put in a couple copies of thud, for when you can't get the flyer through, but still want to win. I hope they reprint fling or another version like thud in Throne.
@@grimgaunt. I had one Chandra, acolyte of flame only, no grim initiate, no experimental frenzy. I ran x4 Torch Courier and x4 Scampering Scorcher one or two Chandra, fire artisan. I think i had x4 Fanatical Firebrand but i/m not sure right now. I didn't have all Chandra, aolyte of flame that day yet :/
@@mateuszwodarczyk6106 its nice you got a chandra acolyte, seems very expensive now. i copied devs deck but without chandra, still has yet to see how it will do when i get the chance to play xD
Hey, i am playing this deck right now and it is a lot of fun. But I have a problem. what can i do when the opponent plays a 1/3. should i just wait for the Spitfire or can I attack with the minios and let them die one after the other?
I like Runaway Steamkin, but opponents know how important it can be, so it becomes a huge target once it gets on the field. However, if you were going to add Steamkin... which card would you get rid of?
I really think still that this deck is most efficient with the cards we still have until we get more after rotation. Fanatical Firebrand is too good for this deck to ignore and only play post rotation.
Thunderskin work good... with Chandra Spitfire and Chandra inferno emblem too... i use 2 of each chandras and normally i have 2 or 3 m20 Chandra... i dont use stage of light or any goblin... only elements. Maybe i could send my deck and u could try...
Please just release the SBMTG album already. It's just so good
Ya seriously that intro is too good
I'm ecstatic you've been putting gameplay in videos recently. I really enjoy being able to see how your tecks work without having to build them first. Keep up the great work Dev!
Sweet! I've been using your last calamity deck and it is honestly the most fun i've had on arena. can't wait to try this one!
I really like the addition of Arena gameplay. I love SBMTG!
The deck tech/gameplay hybrid is a winning combo, imo. Keep up the good stuff Dev! looking forward to all the discussion that will come up after rotation!

what did you swap it out for?
I would also like to know what you swapped the Heartfires out for, as well as how many Heartfires you put in and what other changes, if any, you made to the deck.
I want someone who looks at me the same way ziggy looks at dev

I am new to MTG and cannot get enough of your videos :) If I did want to use Runaway Steam-Kin on my main board, how many should I use and what should I take out to make room?
Justin B probably Grim Initiates
Justin B after that you can use Steam Kin with Experimental frenzy to get lots of mana while casting lots of spells
@@grimgaunt. thanks so much! I will let you know how it goes :)
@@BAside13 Goodluck!
Scorcher on turn four, where you landed a Cavalcade and Spitfire in the previous turns makes your Spitfire into a 13/3 plus 3 1/1s on the ground
I have been trying a few decks like this for a while now. I think I have had the most success with an Izzet version. Keep up the excellent work.
what's the izzet version?
@@grimgaunt. www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/2186505#paper
Needs a bit of work I am sure but seems to be doing alright
I look at the dislike count and genuinely can't conceive how someone could hate on Dev's steeze. Thank you for the video!
Great deck tech, Dev. Keep up the good work, you’re my favorite mtg UA-camr.
Late night video! Love it
I JUST REALIZED THE INTRO RAP IS TO A REMIXED CHRONO TRIGGER TRACK-
Gosh, that realization is so belated.
Really like this, was wondering your thoughts on adding heartfire to it

lava coils???
I am killing it with this deck on Arena. It really makes me want to go play face to face games. It is very good and fun to pilot. BURN!!!
Hey Dev, really like the deck and the other content along with the in-game footage!
What do you think about Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin in this deck?
I thought about that too! Looks solid, but would it cramp up the 3 drop slot and reduce speed?
Back after a year to let you know this is my fav deck of this last year
I played your calamity deck from guilds standard and my win rate got nuts. This looks even better #hypeisreal
This deck is so cool! Might have to try my hand at it!
This is so cool. I didn't have enough wildcards to make this fully but 75% it's so fun to play
Love the gameplay in these. PLEASE do more straight arena videos
1) Less talk more kitty pets
2) Neat Idea!

When the chainwelder rotate, this will be even better. Im proud of having crafted this archetype before it appears in YT.
Dude - thank you for this deck. It is a beast!
Dat Wind Song rap. +1 for Chrono Trigger nostalgia! Also huge fan of Cavalcade of BraZZers! 😂
Can someone tell me what grim initiate is used for? Is it for the token?
Yeah, it’s for the extra 1/1 when it dies, as this deck heavily relies on creatures with a power of 1.
I can't wait to try this. Thank you:)
I swung with 2 40+ power spitfires nust earlier that darn krenko
Your cat is so damn thick (and this in a good way). He's so damn adorable.
Hey dude what about the immolation shaman? it's cheap and 1 power and has pump
thats some spicy meatball

Krenko and Samut's Sprint is pretty backbreaking for opponents too if they aren't holding a board wipe. It usually causes a scoop.
This deck is so much fun!
Can you do a modern version of this deck, maybe in jeskai or Izzet as opposed to mono red
Thanks for posting. Great idea. New to mtga and has helped me climb quickly. Starting to bottom out in mid silver. Any ideas for rotation proof ways to upgrade? My biggest problem is not seeing calamity early enough. I only used 1 spectacle though to limit rare craft requirements.
i have been on this for a few weeks. chandra's regulator x2 and 3x tormenting voice.
What cards did you replace with them?

@@brucedavis191 You said you’d been on it for a few weeks?
@@immortalsun that was a month ago but ya i had updated dev's last deck of the type.
Well done. I might try this deck. I never played mono red.
I also have only been playing MTG for 4/5 month.
😄😄😄
I've come back to MtG after years away and this deck is super sweet.
I was already building this deck but this came
Dev how did you know that I wanted this sooo bad
where do you get the beats from they are catchy as hell
In my black kill deck I like to have a colossus hammer, I never get to use it, but throwing it out they look at it, look at me and they know what’s up
Do you do the intro songs?
I've been playing this deck for awhile now on arena, you should try thunderkin awakener and scampering scorcher. essentially it helps to get a wide board to swing and build for more cavalcade triggers the next turn.
BlueRidgeSilverhound I don't run frenzy, grim initiate, our torch courier. instead of torch courier I have 3 scorcher, instead of frenzy I run 3 awakener, and I run 3 fanatical firebrand instead of grim initiate I think.
just tried it out. Attacked with two 58/3 flying. feels good.
dev do you record with obs or a cap card?
What would you take out if you added Runaway Steam-kin. Tin Street Dodger? Torch Courier? Your thoughts?
My opponent had Calamity and Spitfire and Fire Walla out, but no hand. I was at 18. He was at 1. I had a lethal board. He topped deck 4 mana 3 elemetals card and one shot me.

I know you probably get tons of deck ideas emailed to you but I sent you one for modern that I feel could be awesome. I would love to see you try out.
What do you get out for a playset of steam kin, and also, is it better with steam kin than simic hydras?

I like Runaway Steamkin, but opponents know how important it can be, so it becomes a huge target once it gets on the field. However, if you were going to add Steamkin... which card would you get rid of?
So basically what you are saying is that the Redscourge isn't gone after rotation ? :/
new format is good
Gotta say I'm gonna miss that Flame of Keld...
Is there any standard decks that get past 80
Deck list link is broken?
With an Arena win rate above 70%, I'm surprised it's only a 63. Looks really fun to play though!
I really think still that this deck is most efficient with the cards we still have until we get more after rotation. Fanatical Firebrand is too good for this deck to ignore and only play post rotation.
