Is Vorinclex Broken in Standard? | Vorinxlex Jund | MTG Kaldhem | MTG Standard | Much Abrew 

my god, standard is just 1v1 EDH

39:51 "Another one for the good guys..." looks at Valki, Vorinclex, and Liliana in hand "I guess."

I've been jamming Vorinclex as my commander in Brawl and winning about 70% of my games not because the deck is good, but because opponents punt almost every single time. So many times an opponent spams "Good Game" and drops Ugin with 3 counters, then quits.

Just wait till Jin Gitaxias shows up in Strixhaven as a crazy professor.

39:47 Seth: Akroan War would kill us Vorinclex: Don't worry buddy, i got this

Didn’t even think about the fact that Vorinclex just turns off your opponents sagas

24:00 You just skipped a land drop for some reason

So, I've been playing a list similar to this after seeing your version crop up on mtgazone. The list as-is is pretty great, but I made some alterations based on your Twitter recommendation, personal preference, and better BO1 consistency. My changes: I cut all 4 Lukkas. I know your Twitter recommended 2, but I didn't see the point when t4/5 Vorinclex is often good enough I added the following cards: Third Heartless Act [I like the instant speed] One Extinction Event [all our creatures are even] One Massacre Wurm [flex spot, I like the card but 4th Heartless Act is probably better] One more basic, bumping it to 25 lands to make it less likely to miss the 6th land drop for a foretold Ugin [happened twice when testing the original list]. This deck is super basic hungry and I ran out of basics more often than I'd like in the base version. My final land situation was: 1x Mountain [cutting Lukka meant you only need 1 red source at a time for Tibalt, and you can still play Valki if you don't have it] 4x Darkbore Pathway 4x Fabled Passage 1x Ketria Triome [so you can fetch red off of Binding] 1x Zagoth Triome [I felt I'd rather have an extra basic than more B/G duals for Binding] 1x Castle Locthwain 6x Forest 7x Swamp I cut all the red duals since the deck only needs 1 for Tibalt and it has 16 ways to find one past the two actual lands [Cultivate, Binding, Solemn, Fabled Passage]. I changed the Snow Lands to regular basics because I'm playing BO1 and not playing Blood on the Snow, so they're a liability on the off chance an opponent is playing Redaine. Edit: Additionally, I tried to make this deck work with Gyruda, since Lukka and Cultivate are the only odds, but losing Cultivate is a huge problem for the deck. Do not recommend. Edit 2: Beyond Ugin and Vorinclex[obvious], the cards that have most impressed me are Dream Devourer, Binding the Old Gods, and Valki/Tibalt. Dream Devourer is _way_ better ramp than I gave it credit for, and I was high enough on the card I crafted 4 day 1; it's been overperforming, especially vs aggressive decks. Binding the Old Gods is just a nice clean 2-for-1, but it feels so good to have an answer to everything that also helps ramp to Ugin. I've yet to drop a game where Tibalt hits the battlefield, and Valki on 2 to snipe Anax from Mono-Red is an absolute beating for their curve.

Can't wait to play this deck. I'm only 17 mythic and 18 rare wildcards away...

Binding the old gods is one of my favorite cards in the set

"Only thing better than winning in Magic is taking away your opponents will to even play Magic." This is why I love Seth

Double Much Abrew! Thanks for getting this together, so quickly, Seth. What a sweet deck!

I love this whole thing. The Vorinclex, the Tibalt, even the dream devourer.

"Tibalt is super good" as an honest statement is something I've needed to hear since og Innistrad block.

*Thank you* !! Thank you for bringing back the initial deck tech, really appreciate it 😊😊

If I took a shot every time Seth said hideaway this episode I’d be dead. 💀 it’s foretell now lol.

OOH NEW VIDEO FORMAT SICK WAS SO HYPED TO SEE YA DROP KALDHEIM CONTENT LETS GOOOOO!!

Well, and historic as well... Nissa's lands are 6/6 haste-vigilance creatures... :((((

This was great. Very excited about the new format!

I love that you've gone back to deck techs in videos, they're usually my favorite parts

This was great to watch! Love that archetype

8:00 no reason to not cast lukka and ult to end on the spot

Seth: "Only Preator in standard" Changelings: 😠

This is probably my favorite deck I've ever played.

I'm pretty sure standard jund is more powerful than modern jund at this point Lol

Running Blood in the Snow and Frostbite makes me feel like the golgari snow dual might be better than the two Triomes

Two Much Abrews in one weekend? Heckin' sign me up!

Everytime Tibalt gets a new card, he gets stronger. He's too dangerous to be left alive!

No meme at the beginning, so much better!

You can just tell how much effort and love was put into that thumbnail art.

Seth! Always love the content. Do you think there's any chance of you bringing back the the match-up titles and record counters? I feel like I've noticed them being missing for the past few videos, and I always really appreciated them! But, you do whatever it best for the channel, my man. Keep up the good work :-)

JUND IS BACK! Never thought I'd say that...

It would be nice to see this kind of a deck/mechanics in modern :)

The starship troopers line xD

Tbh I was surprised by Seth's full screen at the start. I almost dropped my phone

Super excited to see this one. Saffron Olive plays guitar? Will he serenade us?

These are some spicy meatballs, going to steal your idea, hope it doesn't become meta. ❤️

Nissa of shadowed boughs seems like it would be awesome here

Against the Odds: only Eldraine Cards in Standard ... Historic ... Pioneer ... Modern ? Running the Gauntlet

The synergies in the deck are awesome

I've been running Abzan control with Vorinclex + Kaya + Garruk + Ugin and it is absolutely brutal. Eerie Ultimatum lets you put Vorinclex into play alongside all your planeswalkers, which doubles there starting loyalty and lets you ultimate all of them the turn you play the ultimatum. Once Kaya is ulted, you get a free copy of any of your planeswalkers or Vorinclex, every turn (e.g. you can -7 your free Ugin every turn to clear the board).

Don't think for a second I dont see that Scoops plush in the background Seth! Where's mine to buy!

Tibalt got the best glow up in all of history, change my mind.

9:00 listening to this at 1.5x speed makes you sound like a mad scientist 😂

I mean Vorinclex has a wall of text, but that 6/6 trample haste pretty much wins on its own from my experince. 😅 the other effects are a really nice bonus though.

Vorinclex is so good because so many things utilize counter mechanics, and by itself doubles the power of your own while hating your opponent's. I don't know yet if it's completely game breaking since the meta might be able to adapt to less counter reliant mechanics and since it's got zero protection, permission and removal could be enough to prevent it from completely taking over like Uro and Omnath did. Buuuttt, we don't really know yet though, there's so much ramp that Vorinclex decks could be too much. Either way, freaking great matches!

Can i download that sideboard overlay somewhere. It looks great and very handy!

Vorinclex: make planeswalkers great again!

Seth, you're forgetting to make Valki become a copy of the exiled card

That's a sick deck.

This deck is very fun to play, I dont have all the cards and had to change a bit and still so broken

3:13 first land drop

Seriously: anything w Jund bc its so much silly sacrifice power... throw V in there? Ugh for sure- cant wait to try this!

Lukka has an ultimate too Seth, you kept missing that!

Rip my mythic wild cards

Ideas for future jank: Haunting Voyage Clerics (For Vito + Righteous Valkyrie combo kill). In search of Greatness + Sagas/Omens (there's also that red spell that requires you to sacrifice a creature or enchantment to deal 5)

So i've been testing similair things but with the new kaya ultimate into ugin, also feels good^^

Love the new intro style

Oh yeah sagas... I could picture him being a top end for a midrange deck with walkers and sagas

I understand that its a meme to make fun of Seth for saying Names and words weird, but Seth come on how did Jegantha become Jin-gatha? 56:24

This deck is sick af

I've run the numbers: The second mode of Heartless Act has only been chosen 4 times, including yours in Match 5

I kind of hate standard, but if I ever play it again, I know what I'm going to play now. Thanks Seth.

Binding of the Old Gods was an all star the entire time. wow

Any reason you didn't drop your land after solemn in match 3?

Is Dream Devourer actually gas for deck archetypes like Ad Nauseam?

That opening to the video actually made me laugh out loud. Makes me want to craft some new cards.

shirtless jayce in historic? :D endless jayces in arena, how much jayces you need to crush the client?

I also made a deck like this one (or tried), and seeing yours makes me realize how bad I am at brewing

Vorinclex is like 3 Narset in a way - it has a passive that is so easily and frequently overlooked by people, even those who are well aware of it.

What would you exchange for the 4 lucca's? I have barely any of them and don't think they're necessary for the deck. More ramp? More early game removal?

what is the thing showing his deck on the left?

I play an Abzan version of this that is nutty

Shouldn't Vorinclex also keep Brushfire Elemental away from becoming counters?

I really like this deck. What changes would you make for BO1?

You have a small typo in the title, Vorinclex Jund is spelled as Vorinxlex Jund. Keep up the good work, best regards

Shapeshifters/Changelings are praetors, so you're good :)

Game 2 against gruul adventures. You could've played vorenclex and the 2 drop foretell creature. Possibly stabilized

fullscreen Saffron scared tf outa me

Im gonna need a lot of mythic wild card for this deck

Isn't it possible to replace Lukka with Vivien? This way the mana is easier to achieve and you can T5 Vivien get a blocker, T6 tick Vivien down, play Vorinclex, get Tibalt? Not sure about if it's working this way, but should be. Tibalt cant ult right away, but gets +4 with the Vorinclex on the battlefield.

This deck is spicy AF

34:39 NEVER PUNISHED

I had a game where opponent got turn 2 valki to take my kroxa, turn 3 copy it and start swinging in

gosh now i want to see emergent ultimatum with two planeswalkers and vorinclex since they either give you an emblem or two planeswalkers

Surprised to see no Garruk

I think that pulling Lukka for a Klothys and 3 Kroxa mainboard would be my first alteration. The idea is solid, but this isn't Lukka's list. Also, I'm not sure about Blood on the Ice or Frost Bite here. I really love Scooze next to Vorinclex too... Man, this is a playable standard Jund and I'm stoked about that. And I know this isn't my list, I'm just thinking via text.

Wait a minute, you mean to tell me that WotC made yet another busted G mythic?! NO FUCKIN WAY!!!!!

This decks looks sweet.

We can finally do it again... WE CAN JUND'EM OUT!

Maby a snow controll list featuring jorn, god of winter?

24:10 weird to not play the land and be 1 land to Ugin!

if the goal was to get a insta ult why not Garruk or the royal scions?

Seth what would you add to replace Lukka?

Vorinclex is actually lowkey good into the meta. While he doesn’t counter the actual Adventure cards, he stops Sagas from working, makes it so Ugin cant reset the board, and makes it so Great Henge doesnt pump the team. Some notes after watching the video. Lukka clearly needs to go. He never got cast and felt bad to draw. It’d be best to likely replace it with either removal (Eliminate) or maybe Klothys just due to it providing both ramp and nice life gain to let you survive. Also I think Blood in the Snow should be Extinction Event. Its just a cheaper board wipe and you need board wipes asap when you need them.

why no garruk cursed huntsman?

That deck is nuts

Just noticed this flex @ 25:50

Klothys is such a powerful underrated card

Hope your happy, in exchange for those land drops the powerful forces of magic decided to not print any more good white cards for 2 years.
