I love how our dark lord really gets in character in his videos. Like drinking from the glass while watching what happens.

[@pandahat2483]

R. rrrrr.....rrrrrrr.ttttrt eaaaaaaaa

[@durpien]

Before nyleas intervention resolves: why would I counter this? After nyleas intervention resolves: YAMERO!!!

[@reticentsins]

It's kind of funny that the game algorithm paired you with Maze's End because your deck had two ways to just stop it between destroying all his lands and putting out Platinum Angel.

[@researchinbreeder]

Does PA specify "your opponent cannot win the game"? Bc in Magic your opponent winning amd you losing aren't *technically* the same. Edit: o dang it does say that. Carry on then.

[@lucagiovanninieddu2603]

You found the only person on earth that still uses Maze's End 🤣

[@Cryofire1]

I have a commander deck built around Maze's End. Not the best deck, but it's fun :)

[@johnny_crash]

Well, I still play it in a Yorion Golos Deck as second Win Con. Works nice and saved my butt on several occasions.

[@MrBe56]

I use it as a win on in my Slivers deck, they never see it coming.

[@pyredynasty]

People often ask me: why? And I tell them: because I can.

[@phyrexian_dude4645]

One of the flew situations where you attack with Platinum Angel to win.

[@199022009]

I had a deck like this once. It even had a Gideon of the Trials in it. It was smooth sailing until someone wiped the board clean. :(

[@jacobballenger3703]

Just wanted to point out that even without the board wipe you were safe from that maelstrom Angel's combat damage trigger since 9 lives prevents damage

[@rugalkof]

You can't use Fall of the Thran with solemnity down, as it won't let it get counters. FYI

[@rugalkof]

@Odis Driftwood you didn't get my point, the Thran's activation won't trigger with Solemnity on the board, so it won't destroy any lands

[@stache53]

Man the level of anti-game you put on display recently is just beautiful. I really enjoy your content. 😂

[@kingfuzzy2]

Me too thanks love winning via non combat damage

[@andreymatuzkov3766]

I've had a deck like this back in the day, around Core Set 8 and Miroddin. I actually tried building it using the Leonin that made all artifacts indestructible and equipping boots on him that made him hexproof. The deck was too slow though, never managed to keep up with mono-red and the freaking Ravager artifacts. Don't remember all the cards names now, though.

[@ersatzbank3129]

Tooth & Nail: Platinum + Leonidas with lots of Naturalize & Oxidyze

[@jamescasas6677]

I love remembering threats after the fact in historic, wipe them lands brotha💥😎🧙‍♂️

[@ParGellen]

47:07 THAT IS THE CREEPIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!!

[@tobias97erdt]

How... how can the dark lord not know about maze's end?! I got played regulary in historic since it's release so you got to have seen it at least a few times...

[@xn85d2]

Imagine if the lifegain deck had a way to give lifelink to Ajani's Pridemate. 😂

[@adamrussell1460]

I add the angel for 7 that gives all flying creatures indestructible, then run a helm of host on it to get 2 then start pumping platinums

[@doublea1897]

I did not have that many objections against Omnath. Sometimes it seemed annoying so many people playing it, ok. But I think the clover ban was more important. I also hoped they would ban some red cards. I am getting so much more annoyed of cards like the robber, Embercleave, Anax or torbran.

[@nathanfriedman7367]

Embercleave probably should have also been banned. But Omnath absolutely needed to be banned.

[@anthonydominguez6005]

I cant stand robber.

[@ShooterSF]

Robber is hardly busted??!! You have to have it on the play on turn 2 or it isn't great. 2/2 with haste. I guess people just don't like other people touching their stuff.

[@xChikyx]

if in thr last game the guy drew a heliod and gsve lifelink to those pridemates...

[@irgendsoeintyp1981]

haha that would have been a game ^^

[@papanurgle1169]

Imagine having platinum emperium and phyrexian unlife on arena...

[@papanurgle1169]

@Odis Driftwood imagine being butthurted like you, and having a chipmunk alike name.. oof

[@marianocolsin8968]

Planar Cleansing and ondu inversion : We gonna end this man whole carrer

[@Ap0Kal1ps3]

This is true. Back in 2005, I built a deck that punished my opponents for trying to harm me in any way. Attacking caused them to lose life and I would gain life. Then later, I'd play 3 chronomantic escapes, which would make it impossible to attack me unless they get counterspelled.

[@Black-ml2uk]

Im creating a similar deck but adding opportunity for the glory that combs with the angel giving it indestructible and you play 2 turns. I also added angels of grace and few more cards. I hope it will be the immortal deck 👍🏻

[@GethPrime]

first couple seconds you sounded like matt hill who played ed from ed edd n eddy :D

[@xChikyx]

That intro is the motto of my Suicide golos deck xD

[@michaelmaney3062]

nissa who shakes the world and fall of the thran, one sided land wipe

[@FromAgonyToLight]

That and baby Ashiok.

[@NStripleseven]

Oooooo, niiice, and you get some lands out of your graveyard.

[@imadoggo7647]

I've gone up against this combo before, he got the no counters enchant when his nine lives had like 5 counters on it, then he passed to my turn. I used stern dismissal to bounce the no counters enchant back to his hand, attacked with the 3 creatures I had on the field, and shocked him to win.

[@boubou3338]

Can not win ? Are you sure Dark Lord ? I'm gonna call big Daddy Ugin + creature removal :)

[@ScamDocMaindel]

Sephara + Shalai + Immortal Sun

[@kronozord8346]

Ugin doesnt remove colorless permanents like Platinum Angel and MonoB has counters for other removal spells.

[@boubou3338]

@@kronozord8346 this is why I said + creature removal. And Btw ugin against 9 lives = insta win

[@mateocossani8231]

Theres a reason he is mainboardind veto and negate

[@paulcbeaudoin5199]

Yeah... saw a deck like that once... hated it so much I built a full deck against it. The resulting game was so long but my tenacity won me the game after more than 1 hour of just sitting there without anything happening

[@TravisStump]

Platinum FREAKING Angel, lol.

[@commissarsydian4125]

13:46 his face changes from processing... processing... bluescreen!

[@blajouskowits33]

This is so bad janky and troll.... I love it my god is this amazing!

[@spongemanicecone4440]

kiora bests the sea god would be pretty good with this too. an 8/8 with hexproof every turn with hexproof? maybe...

[@way000]

I want to see this plus give your opponent a platinum angel as well.

[@tietscho]

I’d love to see the dark lord destroying all these gates

[@buckwheat219970]

Only a true jank lord can go for 5+ turns sitting at negative health and still win the game.

[@jesustakethewheel6958]

The JANK LORD DESTROYS ALL

[@jcifu-1229]

Dark Lord don't forget cleansing nova can still destroy your nine lives.

[@Electricdynamite]

i've made some mean decks but this was the conceptual "pure asshole" deck i never knew could exist. I just saw the angel and hated that text

[@goldenfrieza5351]

Ondu inversion noises intensify

[@Friendsly]

I see curator's ward. I don't see Shalai with it though. I guess she's bulky but talk about safe.

[@brandonlarry9682]

Why isnt Gideon of the trials in this deck?

[@nr.12]

Sagas dont work at all with solemnity. Even for the first chapter u need to put a counter on it.

[@BahamutXER]

Thats why you put Fall of Thran down, THEN Solemnity. So the first chapter kicks but the rest dont

[@clerivaldojunior4465]

10:20 wait, that's illegal

[@BrianKrohn]

All that last opponent needed was a board wipe.

[@maddwolf8341]

... uncounterable board wipe)

[@owN-77]

yeeeees!

[@waterfoker8558]

but how do you win?

[@Delirium_Channel]

This needs settle the wreckage

[@user-xk1yz5po2w]

Interesting. Maybe craft whats one

[@pharon5297]

No Gideon?

[@collinjarred5063]

Still loses to loss of life effects if you can take care of the plat angel. I have fought allot of solmitny decks and won with preist of forgotten gods.

[@deathpenguinjoe3644]

htf did that last deck not have a way to give his creatures LL lmao

[@StripedJacket]

I beat a guy running this by using like 4 alrund’s epiphanies each x2 therefore getting 7-8 turns.

[@markovucilovski9876]

Landfall scapeshift please!

[@hypechannelbyluke8001]

Wait... Why opponent surrender in last game ? He couldn't also win a game with a platinum Angel ...

[@dudeguy8686]

Platinum Angel says your opponents can't win, it doesn't prevent the controller from winning.

[@gunner1612]

this deck is evil and thankfully only ran into once.

[@logan_wolf]

This is an evil deck, ha ha ha.

[@johan435]

having two counterspells but not using them and the opponent ultimate and win =)

[@mythven]

Wincon? Always enemy conceded. Its so jank!

[@powerplay1939]

0:32 Nine Lives its Borat

[@kaemonbonet4931]

Needs more gideon

[@jasonmachete1931]

Next deck 10 land win?? Go test 😀

[@ambeatzZz]

Do I smell jank? Yes, it is jank. It is definitely is!

[@ambeatzZz]

@Odis Driftwood Mmm why triggered on such an innocent comment?

[@Deejayronin]

Im glad the dark lord went to historic.. standard now is the crappiest standard in ages.

[@Deejayronin]

@Odis Driftwood yes i did have my personal Omnath deck but this is not the point bro.. i bet moneys you are the Mill/rogues deck guru here and it's almost 30% of the entire decks in standard.. man seriously? winning a game with mill still exist? Maddening Cacophony and the freaking crab? C'mon wizard!!

i love how i see that many people using this deck, it basically ruins explorer.. pretty dumb combo that shouldnt exist imo, it straight up kills 2 formats

third?

[@P4bloM4n]

No fun sorry DL, but, no fun deck this day... :/

I can't understand this guy at all

[@hippywill]

whats your win condition ? make it impossible for your opponent to win.
