I'm so happy for your deck to finally hit the power you were hoping for. You've been tinkering with Elas Il-Kor since it came out, but this tribal-phyrexian aristocrat deck is where the kind of cards you love truly shine.
Absolutely going in for this one! Thank you for the builds, Dev. I'm not a good deck builder myself, and I appreciate being able to lean on you (and Elas. We're a thing too, you know)❤
I also tried to make this deck. I used a lot of the same cards (Including Elas) but I tried to make Restoration of Eiganjo and Skrelv's Hive work - Being able to play a free Skrelv's Hive with Restoration seemed cool. I used Mirrex and Seedcore... There were some nice cards. In the end, I became frustrated and abandoned the idea.
I just made a Golgari deck that uses a tinge of sacrifice with some big ass counter and incubate production. Just get an Oozilinth shattered spire out there, incubate a few guys, convoke them into Ancient Imperiosaur, and all of a sudden your opponent has to block a 15/15 with trample every turn (plus whatever else you throw out there) and he has ward 2. and God forbid they let me get vorinclex out and activate the grand evolution
i was playing mardu aristocrats in standard pre-MOM and got a lot of value out of transmogrant crown. once on board, only costing 1 black to equip makes all the sacs even spicier
Dev!!!!!!! Dank jank master. I have an interesting idea. Storm the festival with all will be on the enchantment and battles. They are all 4-6 defense counters and you don't have to waste a whole turn playing all will be one on turn 5. You should do jund so you can run glissa sunseeker, rankle and torbran, and rampaging raptor. All good hits off storm the festival. Look into it. It has been quite strong
This is gas! Love the tech. I`m more of a rakdos player so i will definitely build something similar but in BR. I`d check if the Vat of Rebirth would work and Gixian Infiltrator to grow together with the Processor. Bloodtithe Harvester would be comming back persistently. But it seems that white has too many good stuff for blood artist to drop it fully so i dont know if going red would make sense.
The lack of enchantment removal can be painful at times, but generally it swarms to a win. I've been playing this best of one and am considering maindecking some of the sideboard
really like this deck, it's been super fun to play in MTGA. Would you think Final Flourish could work well in place of Go for the Throat as a good removal spell? Also lets you sack more as well.
Yo Dev, check out a track caller pure gold by calyx, like the planeswalker. Idk what made me think of that, but I think you'll like it from an mc perspective. Big ups!
Think only card I’d think about putting in to make a little bit cheaper (and non phyrexian) would be fleshtaker. Helps you scry and gives you a life each sac.
I really want to make an incubate deck like this but include that two mana -4-4 proliferate spell (dont remember the name) since bloated processor and it tokens have counters. That being said I think that the only good black proliferate spell so it would be difficult to make a whole deck around it but I think it worth replacing "go for the throat" with it. Also you have toxic in the deck so it might be good for that.
Was 2-0 in draft at FNM this weekend and this dude had two processors, and things that let him cast his threatening effects at instant speed. Got wooped😂
@@MurdocNiccals Wouldn't put it past him. Usually I don't like to go there but I've been a hard core pre release fan for decades, and I've taken this shit. Whutta do?

I'm just not impressed with this set. I compared it to Fallen Empires and that comparison isn't fair because Fallen Empires actually had a few good cards. All I see are seven mana draft chaffs and commander cards. This set is not intended for standard play.
And really, what is the point of Commander? The worst part about Magic is having to put up with a smelly manchild. Now you're adding extra smelly manchildren, you're adding life and making the deck bigger... its hell on Earth.
I'm so happy for your deck to finally hit the power you were hoping for. You've been tinkering with Elas Il-Kor since it came out, but this tribal-phyrexian aristocrat deck is where the kind of cards you love truly shine.
Elas is the reason for the deck.... I love how you keep going with the "feelings" for her. It's terrific.
I prefer episodes with more play and commentary during the play. But thanks for this and all the hard work you do!
Same. I appreciate the deck tech but not enough gameplay.

Funny, I've been trying to make a Tribute to the World Tree + Skrelv's Hive build work to similar results.
Dev went full Dale Gribble 😂😂
"What's the opposite of oysters?... Apples?" - Dale Gribble
Cat purring in the mic to start the video. Best intro ever.
I just love watching the game play tbh, but I love seeing Dev gush over Elas il-Kor.
Man I've been kicking ass so aggressively hard with this deck. It's absolutely awesome!
Really love the coffee break moment, a must have all the time 😊 Thx 🙏
I'm loving the coffee breaks. We need footage of you pouring the coffee tho. That would be funny.
Excellent deck tech Dev! Looking forward to all the rest of the decks you are brewing up!
Awesome deck as always Dev!
Have you tried a few copies of Phyrexian Censor in the deck or does slow the game plan down too much?
I love the coffee breaks, and I don't even drink coffee
I love coffee break is the exact same deck content, just with a smooth voice and piano jazz included.

That music from that quick game is nice.
You are amusing. 😅 first taste of your channel. Can't wait to see more.
This looks sick! Really powerful.

Oh I am SO excited for a good old fashioned deck tech with power rankings. Great video, Dev!

This deck looks really good. Get to mythic with it!
Once I get a few more rare wildcards I’ll be playing this nonstop on Arena
What about invasion of gobakhan to protect your creatures and double up on +1/+1 counters
Aristocrat decks are not my thing but I'd very much like to see a gameplay video of this deck! Great job :)
Sacrifice decks are my jam! Thanks Dev for the inspiration for this season.
This is gas! Love the tech.

It's ok Dev we will always have the Selfless Savior to save us. 1:44
Sweet deck.
Have you tried Mirrex? I have only good things to say about it myself.
Another incidetal factory can't hurt.
An aristocrats deck that doesn’t involve endless cat/oven triggers? I like it.
i'm really enjoying this deck, and couldn't agree more with Seedcore, it's such a good land in this deck.
The lack of enchantment removal can be painful at times, but generally it swarms to a win. I've been playing this best of one and am considering maindecking some of the sideboard
i love the invasion of new capenna it is very good
Very Nice Idea for the coffee break
really like this deck, it's been super fun to play in MTGA.
Would you think Final Flourish could work well in place of Go for the Throat as a good removal spell? Also lets you sack more as well.
I really want to watch you play this deck like you do dank jank!
Really sweet deck! Thanks!
Whatchoo up to?
“Draining laifu with the waifu, you know how we do”
Cool, cool
Wow your banter and kittens! Win Win
"meal recognize meal" lmaooooo
Yo Dev, check out a track caller pure gold by calyx, like the planeswalker. Idk what made me think of that, but I think you'll like it from an mc perspective. Big ups!
As soon as I saw the name of the deck, I immediately thought "Is this just another excuse to run Elas?"
It's the perfect excuse. Immaculate.
Boom bringer Valkyrie plus the red blights dinosaur equals a 12-12 dinosaur flying first strike LifeLink jumping at you in standard

Deck is amazing Dev!

Am I the only one that thought... "HOLY FRAZZLE CANNON, BATMAN!" ?
Damn, tried this. It's awesome
I'd like to see a gameplay video of this deck
Would 1 or 2 of the Mirrex make sense since its another way to ge6 a dude in a pinch ?
What about Phyrexian Censor? Was it taken into account? I expected it in the coffee break at the real contenders that weren't chosen at least?
Add Gitaxian Puppeteer. Took me to mythic over 3 days.
care to share decklist?
super n00b question, but can someone explain the numbers below the cards? For example: ".15" under Elas - ".25" under Vraan. Please & TY
Was 2-0 in draft at FNM this weekend and this dude had two processors, and things that let him cast his threatening effects at instant speed. Got wooped😂
Sounds like a cheat
@@MurdocNiccals Wouldn't put it past him. Usually I don't like to go there but I've been a hard core pre release fan for decades, and I've taken this shit. Whutta do?
Another note... two cards I question including... Invasion of Gob and black Dominus.
But where the HECK is Drivnod 😤
Did I miss the deck list for screen shot?
I have to laugh at the flavor of equipping Elesh Norn with a Holy Frazzle-Cannon.
can we get more games with this deck?
No phyrexian censor?
I can imagine he tried it, but took it out because it's not impactful enough considering the fact that people play a lot of phyrexians right now.
@@Goldy01 seems logical
This deck is MAGICal...
Congrats on your nuptials!
Igby is the cutest cauldron familiar.

Dude, you da shiznit!
Gonna be honest. I've been beating the absolute crap out of every aristcrats style deck that I've encountered.
Not super confident in this one.
I come here for Ziggy...
I played Arena for 2 hours on Saturday night & I didn't win a single match.
It is what it is. You are still sexy and loved
