Creating an unbeatable creature.

[@Lordidude]

Love the inclusion of the land that has (and gives) hexproof. A great card to mill.

[@LegenVD]

Hadn’t considered that one, could be worth a try!

[@strahlungsopfer]

how much time do you usually spend testing a deck idea until you're sure of the decklist? probably varies a bunch, but I'm curious

[@LegenVD]

Depends if I’m breaking new ground or if I can rely on past experience. The more decks you build, the faster you get at making them.

[@caster8469]

To almost not answer the question at all, he will occasionally make an update mid video. Which is to say that i think being sure of it doesn't really exist

[@floppyslot]

He made a few videos where he goes over his deck building process. Keeping up on all the cards in the newest sets helps as well, I fell off after bloomburrow.

[@mark_b2]

good thoughtful question.

[@owenanicas2826]

This type of deck is what I expected from legenvd after a set comes out. Absolute legend.

[@braedenwinstead1984]

It IS in his name

[@johndoe9343]

I also enjoyed the Esper one he showcased around a year ago. With Hexproof Kaya and Invasion of Tolvada.

[@nerd_entangled]

12:33 that was such a cool line. I would not have thought of that

[@ramonbril]

He's really good. It's these kind of plays that make a top 1% player.

[@RobthebOSS97]

@@ramonbril How? his card needs graveyards, he seeing the opponents graveyard. uses it. how is this so mindblowing?

We finally found a use for all the random zetalpa reprints we got in every other edh precon with white 😅

[@muhammadrafi4723]

As soon as the 7 mana Eldrazi was revealed my immediate thought was "Somebody out there gonna make deck that dump the Eldrazi for Scavenger to eats" and here we are lmao

[@CRAETION_]

12:33 mannn what a great play! you make such interesting and fun decks, and watching you pilot them is even better

[@RandomPerson-mv8bn]

I feel like Deep-Cavern Bat has singlehandedly made 4-of 1-mana removal mandatory in all decks.

[@MitchRocket]

That plus Heartfire Hero/Cacophany Scamp and now Llanowar Elves

[@drejerm7856]

I'm crafting this because the way the red mages brain fizzled out at 14:26 is cinema

[@mr.marker6449]

I love how powerful this silly bulk rare can be

[@atlantishorizon]

one of the most fun decks Ive seen

[@homidahroun8486]

I'm a little surprised to not see No One Left Behind in the deck. A 2-mana recursion spell for the Scavengers was one of the first things I thought about.

[@LegenVD]

Ideally Scavengers never die and we already have Dirge to get it back.

[@nicholasgilvin6396]

Another day another banger. Keep up the great work man!

[@danielchoritz1903]

Very nice themed, flexible and fun deck you created here.

[@andrewburns9906]

Shivan devestator is good for flying haste to double trigger on his 1st turn.

It is cute that you can play it for X=0 on turn one to set it up.

[@NicerDicerSmart]

As a Kathril EDH player this warms my heart

[@Fullmetal85]

The last opponent when he noticed the creature had indestructible. 😮‍💨

[@everquill4275]

A cool suggestion for this deck if anyone wants to experiment with it. You can make the deck mardu to run kroxa and kunoss, as they work quite well in the reanimator/ keyword package. White itself has a couple useful spells, so making it one of the key colours may give the deck some extra playability

[@Kuryux]

We need a version of this with possibilities ASAP!

[@rubencp93]

This is such a funny deck, man! Has big issues, but it's very funny. Great video; very fun to watch!

[@user-un2ds7rl8f]

Can you talk about the issues? I'm thinking about building this deck

[@kaw3rik918]

Reminds me when I used to play Kathril in EDH

[@theaeskey2502]

Notification squad. Reanimator with a twist. Love seeing the creativity lvd.

[@1000Tomatoes]

There's way more tutor to graveyard effects in standard than I thought. I've had the idea of playing a dimir deck that clones black combo peices out of the graveyard with Lazav and Likeness Looter for a bit, maybe it's not unreasonable.

[@soar813]

I made a scavenger type of deck ages ago how does this deck deal with indirect removal such as edict or sunfalls? is there any other way to win other than banking on scavenger?

[@LegenVD]

Those cards get a lot of mentions throughout the video!

[@wtch9913]

The scavengers could also work with keywords on non-creatures so for example exiling a valgavoth's lair would give it hexproof which could be cool although I'm not sure if it would be worth it to include it.

[@LegenVD]

Considered Kaya but hadn’t thought of the land, could be worth a try!

[@davestier6247]

Mmmm keyword salad 🥗

[@masssim4476]

Great content

[@VahdaMage]

Would be awesome if you could make a commander/brawl deck out of this deck!

[@チャールピちゃん]

LegenVD my goat 🫡🫡

[@Kuryux]

44:44 Desolation Angel eh? Thats an old timer if I've ever seen one

[@Finnigan28]

This deck wants Entomb so badly. My first competitive deck was a legacy reanimator. The thing I loved most from that deck was the flexibility to tutor for different creatures depending on the opponent. Iona for monocolor, Blazing Archon for decks going wide, Sphinx of the steel wind for gruul color combinations, Griselbrand for general purposes. This was probably 11 years ago

[@Spura83]

Why didn't the ward work at 36:49? You exiled a creature with Ward just previously.

[@Dai-Tiger]

So that’s the “weird” thing about cards like Urborg Scavengers, it’ll only get keywords that it specifies, so if it doesn’t have Ward in the pool of keywords it can “steal”. One of the things to look out for if you’re wanting to build a deck like this.

[@Spura83]

@@Dai-Tiger yeah my bad, I didn't read the text closely. The picture for the video says Every Keyword so that misled me.

[@AmataTai]

What about the hexproof enchantment land, Valgavoth's lair? added hexproof keywords ^~^

[@LegenVD]

Definitely a consideration!

[@kingdom2]

sick asf deck, could've also worked with priest of possibility but i think scavengers is a more unique choice 🔥

[@LegenVD]

Priest also isn’t in Standard!

[@kingdom2]

@@LegenVD true! if you were building a historic deck similar to this i would also say sproutwatch dryad and thunderous orator are great picks. sadly the only card that does this in standard is scavengers

[@Venom87542]

Ok, how many cards are in Foundations??? Cause I keep looking at the set reviews and none of these cards in it.

[@EllipticalReasoning]

when the deck is already built around discarding huge creatures, it seems hard to justify not running the full set of zombify.

[@joshuaphillips1081]

The Matchmaker is such BS. I loaded this deck up and immediately played against 5 decks in a row with multiple sources of graveyard hate. I saw 2 to 3 cards from each deck intended to clear out my graveyard. That's after going probably days withiut ever seeing one before

[@thefreshproduce]

mouse off the card while explaining it

[@TehMoep]

dooooerdch

[@masterjbt]

22:15 scavengers has indestructible, it doesn’t die to deathtouch

[@Dot_Eleven]

If this is in response to what I think it is, LVD wasn't talking about the Scavengers dying to deathtouch, it was about the Scavengers deathtouch killing the Essence Channeler during first strike damage step. Because it dies, the opponent will be able to move the +1/+1 counters on the Essence Channeler onto another (potentially unblocked) creature before that creature deals damage.

[@masterjbt]

First time seeing the combat mechanics in action. So you dont have to assign letha damage to one as i understand it now? I saw a video before but i somt rhink i understood correctly @legenvd

[@LegenVD]

magic.wizards.com/en/news/feature/foundations-mechanics "Damage assignment order no longer exists. If a creature is facing multiple opposing creatures in combat, that creature's combat damage is assigned and dealt as its controller desires during the combat damage step. Other players won't necessarily know what's going to happen." This change is mostly relevant when the defending player has a pump spell, they will now have to use it without knowing in which order blockers are dealt damage.
