Much Abrew: I Manifest Dread (Duskmourn Standard)


Hello, and welcome to another edition of Much Abrew About Nothing! This week, we're heading to our new Duskmourn Standard to manifest some dread on our opponents by (hopefully) getting a Valgavoth, Terror Eater on the battlefield as soon as Turn 3 with the help of Manifest Dread! Our goal is to use cards like Manifest Dread, Hide in Plain Sight, and Threats Around Every Corner to get a massive threat like Valgavoth, Terror Eater, Vaultborn Tyrant, or Portal to Phyrexia on the battlefield as a face-down 2/2 creature and then use Parting Gust, Hauntwoods Shrieker, or Unyielding Gatekeeper to flip the face-down creature face up to build a massive monster as early as Turn 3! Can new Duskmourn support make a face-down deck work in Standard? How scary is a Turn 3 Valgavoth, Terror Eater? Let's get to the video and find out!

They're adding more Land Destruction into standard so we had to do a basic land check at the early access event.
