Two guys in the afterlife like: - So how did you die again? - Some goblin kept throwing his ring on the ground and picking it up again, I don't really understand it either 😂

[@yoanng336]

Developers should really do something about these strategies involving loops, in terms of user experience. It would not be a complex feature to detect that a certain set of actions is being repeated, and get a prompt asking how many times we are intending to repeat these actions. Would save quite a lot of time and frustration for players.

[@InsomniacDream88]

48:41 "Every rebirth looks like death" Opponent speaking for your goblin lol

[@louisnemzer6801]

When they were making fervent champion, who thought haste, first strike, and +1/0 trigger wasn't enough for one mana?

[@sofer2230]

Well, Javier Dominguez, clearly. These World Championship cards are intentionally pretty pushed.

[@astuteanansi4935]

Raging Goblin in *shambles*

@@sofer2230 I mean not all, most of them are pretty bad nowadays

Probably the same guy who decided Questing Beast needed more text

[@filipstysiak]

Match 4 is perfect with showing us a perfectly aligned cards for the combo and opponent gratious enough to let it happen and concede once the loop was presented.

[@germanbrandeburgo5925]

An hour of LVD? Yes, please.

[@kellynorton]

I completely forgot that last sentence existed on Fervent Champion.

[@poetro2567]

I love these kinds of decks from LVD, just shows the love of magic I have in it as well. Glad you do these!

[@otislindsey9993]

Oh, he COOKIN', cookin. This is something fresh and interesting I've seen no one else working on. Can't wait to tweak the recipe and see what comes of it! Good work on this one! 👏

[@zekelockman1477]

Javier Dominguez would be proud

[@SuperGerald92]

I cant wait to see this in action!

[@zombiegodsire]

You just did

[@Zauzzie]

@@zombiegodsire THey commented less than a min after vid posted lol

[@nicholasbillington1343]

Infinately activating den of the bugbear over and over again to get infinate goblins on attack is also fun and fits the theme of the deck

[@JRandall0308]

Always happy to see the excitement wiggle!

[@O_violet]

That first golgari deck was kind of insane

[@arthurgwg]

Only LVD to make a 4 card combo look good! Hehehe! Loved the video.

[@11macedonian]

Im at 16 minutes so I dont know if he does it later, but couldnt he just have equipped the lotus ring onto kellan to sacrifice him and get him back in hand and loop him and his sorcery side along with fervent champion to get every equipment in his deck?

[@isupor]

kellan doesn’t have haste, and the ring gives the sac ability to the creature sadly. that would be a super sick lien if it worked tho

[@isupor]

i could see running a one-of rabbit battery to tutor with kellan if you’re in that situation

[@jojodelacroix]

I think you'd need something like lavaspur boots since the ring makes one color of mana and you need red for battery and white for the adventure (assuming I'm understanding what is trying to be done here). Also the boots don't die to removal which seems pretty important.

[@sod1237]

Love your videos

[@XaeroGames]

Lovely!

[@CyberBuster93]

God, I truly missed Fervrent Champion! I played rakdos knights with Embercleave during that standard. Man, that deck was ao much fun! Awesome deck as usual Luca! Really appreciate all you do, man! 😄

[@dr_zeus5883]

You are giving me bad memories 😭😂 eldraine was truly a fun set

[@letsgobrandon6992]

Lotus ring and skull clamp with be a thing of beauty in edh

[@jojodelacroix]

Sad that we didn't get any halvar. It'd add at least a little redundancy to the Koll plan. It's slower but still goes infinite.

[@LegenVD]

Definitely worth exploring, even if it is a tad more awkward to use than Koll, it's also more difficult to interact with. Could maybe replace Queen Kayla or Bugler since there's less of a need to find Koll specifically.

[@jojodelacroix]

Definitely awkward but I still love Halvar from back during it's standard rotation. I'm not sure why, but I was really glued to equipment strategies when for quite awhile. Lol

[@JeremyJ27]

I don't think you had a chance in game 7 after the vein ripper came out it just makes your combo kill you

[@LegenVD]

True!

[@KhanShotFirst]

Sword of the Realms (Halvar from Kaldheim) is a second copy of Koll, even if it needs Fervent Champion to loop. Any thoughts about it?

[@LegenVD]

Definitely worth exploring, even if it is a tad more awkward to use than Koll, it's also more difficult to interact with. Could maybe replace Queen Kayla or Bugler since there's less of a need to find Koll specifically.

[@Say_Tin]

It's in a way refreshing to see Legend play an utter jank pile for once... his decks are usually too good for my dingus brain comprehension

[@Leon_Carvalho]

Nice

[@LeFerret335]

best timing

[@Psychotic6]

Nice combo! Btw, why not X spells for infinite mana dump? - somthing like Banefire or Shivan Devastator?

[@LegenVD]

They don’t really help in the initial setup of the combo, and there’s also no reliable way to search them up.

[@Psychotic6]

@@LegenVD Fair enough What about having 1x Overwhelming Splendor for shutting down creatures? - you can search it with aura searching things :)

[@BigRedShooter]

Love you

[@cruthius6154]

@LegenVD You have to try the new Teysa in Brawl. So good

[@LegenVD]

Already recorded a video for the Arena channel with her!

[@roamingbird5953]

In match 1, can equip lotus ring to Kellan and sac it to use the adventure again, tutor up the missing combo piece

[@LegenVD]

Still has summoning sickness, so can't sacrifice it right away.

[@yaking9610]

Does Historic add any alchemy cards to make this deck better?

[@LegenVD]

Stoneforge Mystic comes to mind, there may be others.

[@soybomb777]

That white one drop cat that makes an equip cost 1

[@LegenVD]

@@soybomb777 That would indeed replace the need for War-Whip or Fighter Class.

[@francescomaniscalco251]

You can t combo off with vein ripper on the battlefield because of his drain ability

[@LegenVD]

Good point!

[@vibeslyph3137]

in that first match could you not sack kellan to ring, get him back with koll, search for the wincon equip and win?

[@LegenVD]

Summoning sickness on the Ring activation.

[@tommyjohnson9190]

Don’t sleep on Queen Kayla

[@emorsi]

Hm... what about a direct damage x red spell as a finisher?

[@LegenVD]

It’s an option, but it wouldn’t contribute towards the initial setup and we can’t easily tutor for them.

[@emorsi]

@@LegenVD Yes.. you are right, I did not think about that.

[@kensw87]

well i was expecting a different lotus combo. haha

[@frostyrust965]

Hey man, big fan of your decks and content! I was wondering if you could cook up a Sigarda, font of blessings human based brawl deck as what I've come up with just falls short all the dang time :/

[@filofax777]

You've surely grown to enjoy infinite-combos with overly repetitive game-actions 😂At least you will know that no one is prepared for them unless they've encountered Seth perhaps ^^

[@LegenVD]

Only so many ways to effectively use some of these new cards 😅

[@mr.marker6449]

An hour long lvd video that’s not brawl… Strange

[@NetherVoiD]

It is so rigged that there are times 10 to 15 games straight I end up mana flooding or mana shorting just so that I would Lose the game 😂

[@LegenVD]

Happens to everyone I'm afraid, it's called variance and Magic has a lot of it.

[@NetherVoiD]

@@LegenVD i played MTG since 1995. I think I know when something is very off in this game. It is a bait to encourage players to soend. My best bet P2W players hardly experience this issue.

[@toast_recon]

​@@NetherVoiDThey want to keep you playing the game so much that they give you an invisible free mulligan in bo1 to get the most average number of lands in your starting 7. Players have collected stats and the game gives people the expected number of lands
