MTG Arena - Standard - Devotion to Wide 

Our devotion to LVD is pretty high

Love this build

This deck’s synergies are beautiful.

I think unbreakable formation can be pretty good there. And if we are talking about sideboard options, Gideon's Sacrifice comes to mind.

LVD : hahaha devotion to WIDE ME : hahaha nice. May I present you to my devotion to GIN

Great deck. I'm going to try it out tonight. A lot of great matchups as well.

Very excited to see your other creations. Not sure why but your decks always feel very solid to play with. And Blue Lotus is my new favorite so I have to thank you.

I do love how it appears the new cards are already being integrated into the meta.

Nobody: LVD: 2020 needs more wombo-combos.

Had a hard time against this deck in the ladder, great games man, thanks!

I need to add divine visitation in this deck! Looks super fun!

Your videos are always a hoot! 🦉

I'm loving Theros for giving us a ton more strength in Mono Devotion - both this deck and black are really strong right now :) Keep up the great vids man, love them :)

You sound really energetic in this video. Loved that

Quite an interesting deck that has a lot of synergy.

thank you for the consistently awesome content!

I just realized I had this video disliked somehow and fixed it. Makes me wonder how many of the dislikes on videos with few dislikes are just people accidentally pressing it and not realizing it

thank you very very much it helps me so much to build a strong deck as a beginner. big thanks !!!

Cool deck

The blessing is also pretty good with Heliod. You can target the enchantment to put a counter on it when you gain life, which makes it sacrifice itself.

I know you said in your video you couldn't get the more aggro builds to work well but I've been working on an aggro/lifegain version of white devotion with some success. It relies on the pridemate/Ajani/Heliod synergies to overwhelm the opponent. Here's the list for anyone interested: Deck 4 Ajani's Pridemate (WAR) 4 3 Ajani, Strength of the Pride (M20) 2 4 Alseid of Life's Bounty (THB) 1 4 Castle Ardenvale (ELD) 238 2 Giant Killer (ELD) 14 3 Daxos, Blessed by the Sun (THB) 9 4 Charmed Stray (WAR) 8 2 Gideon Blackblade (WAR) 13 4 Healer's Hawk (GRN) 14 4 Heliod, Sun-Crowned (THB) 18 2 Conclave Tribunal (GRN) 6 3 Linden, the Steadfast Queen (ELD) 20 17 Plains (ELD) 253 2 Unbreakable Formation (RNA) 29 2 Arcanist's Owl (ELD) 206 It has a similar sort of redundancy to your Black/White Lifegain aggro deck from a couple weeks ago but instead of 4 bloodthirsy aerialists we're rocking 4 Heliods. The new white lifegain one drop makes buffing your pridemate's even more profitable by giving them protection to keep alive or get through some troublesome blockers. Any thoughts on Banishing Light versus Conclave Tribunal? Or feedback in general?

Hey, great little deck, instead of charming prince i put in 4x Linden's, super powerful card when combined with Heliod.

I made a Blue white version (actually I made several decks) of the blue deck you showed off yesterday. Boy howdy I think we are on to something. It is just arena is terrible to manage when you draw almost your entire deck. Mainly you need the 4 lotus, 4 Kiora, 4 of the 2 drop untapper, 3 Gadwick, and at least 3 of the oracles. The owls help but the rest is flexible.

Love you.

This is the only white Heliod list I've seen since the set released that had made me think to myself "This deck looks good".

In historic mono white life gain is insane. Especially with Heliod.

Mono black looks so strong every time I see it

Orzhov control based around doom with devotion to black and white payoffs are sweet asf

Would divine visitation be a card you would consider adding in this deck in place of something to make angels instead of soldiers

Elspeth, Undaunted Hero. Works well in this sort of deck for the wincon. Oh and Flicker of Fate is probably a better addition than Charming Prince... you don't get the one devotion... but it's a dozen times more likely to cheaply duplicate your hoplight than Charming prince and has a lot of other utility.

1 or 2 divine visitations? works well with the lands . and can be found with the owl. and whats better than 5x 1/1 ? 5x 4/4 flying.

It’s fun to play white/blue and thassa then blink the hoplite

I like Flicker of Fate instead of Charming Prince. It also combos with Elspeth Conquers Death.

What?! Non-combo Heliod deck? Impossible.

Lvd you should play a big red good stuff deck! Just a fun thought

35:29 IMO You could block with Tomik, because if you only have the owl, you still have enough devotion Heliod says: not creature if devotion less than five, but you devotion is (owl(4) + Heliod(1)) is five which is not less than five

I’ve been having a ton of fun with a heliod brawl deck

"Shock on the Hawk" LVD, The Poet

Looks like a fun deck. I’m pretty new, is this a good deck for me to invest in to do my dailies and progress with?

How do you play this deck against Temur Elementals? They can go wide like this deck can but their pump spells are more reliable. They can keep bouncing your cards to slow you down and remove counters while they get their combo in place and then they play arkoan war and completely wipe you out. If that doesn't fail they usually use a couple agents of treachery that they flicker in and out to steal your key cards and deny you the devotion bonuses. Seems like it hard counters this deck.

is this worth to craft as first standard deck? it doesnt need much rare

Just ran this deck but didn't have any Heliods. So I swapped him out for Haktos and splashed red. It works really well with Exaltation because it buffs his 1 toughness in combat making him less likely to die vs chump blockers.

Could Okehame Ranger find a place in this deck? 4 White mana symbols and it has a tap for anthem ability

W I D E

*LVD uploads at a reasonable US time* **surprised pikichu face at work**

can be good in bo 3?why no potential sidebord ?:(

More draft pls

How about one or two shadowspears to get past opposing creatures with an exalted creature?

And it's not even that expensive, which is great

Exaltation is good when your deck can create tokens. Of course you already knew this, but if Hoplite is your only token creation in the deck, having exaltation does not really benefit it.

And that Lady, Linden? Work so good in that deck...

I feel Ajani's pridemate would grow fast in this deck.

Second lost: why note play lifelink on Helios twice where he attacked alone twice? Heliod cant give lifelink to himself?

Huh... No Linden ? She's perfect with Heliod... edit: also: Resolute rider, oakhame ranger (wich pairs well with hoplite too)

3 mana gideon planeswalker?

Poor Duck Sauce....

devotion to wide bottom

I always wonder what is the reasoning of including Tomik in decks, as it's not that great of a card stat-wise and its ability is very situational. Here of course the double white in the mana cost makes sense for devotion purposes, but it's probably the only deck so far where Tomik can fit somehow.

Looks like blue is op based on the gameplay

Your limited videos are really top notch, but when it comes to constructed you seem to avoid playing ranked, what gives?

can heliod not give himself lifelink? That would've saved you against bw flyers

>Devotion to wide Lewd

Funny how a mono white lifegain devotion deck doesn't play Linden.

Am I the only one who doesn't like how lands are displayed on Arena? Like, basic lands and full art lands look the same when you're not hovering over them

i made it first

White looks like the weakest colour once again. I don't get the hate from wotc so many sets in a row
