28:40 Oh, this is actually kinda neat! You were technically able to cast the planar incision because of how Vorinclex works. Rather than actually doubling the mana your lands produce (like Mana Reflection), he himself just adds a copy of the same _type_ of mana to your pool, which means it won't keep any special rules attached to it. So arena recognized that you could tap the cavern of souls for "uncounterable elf" blue mana and that vorinclex would give you a regular blue mana you could spend on anything else.

[@MetaPixel7]

Wow that's such an odd interaction! Don't think you'd ever realize that in paper!

[@sammysammyson]

Yep! This is exactly right :)

[@velikanskaglava2087]

Thank you for providing daily entertainment.

[@LegenVD]

Thank you for watching!

[@AesirOdinn]

He does really provides a lot of value to us.

[@thedeathofaman]

So much value

[@sweezog]

It's amazing how consistent this channel is. Such good quality so often. I've discovered so many cards and deck building tips from watching for only a month

[@JRandall0308]

“Draw 17 cards. That’s pretty effective.” - I think you mean it’s SUPER effective. 🙂

[@scaevola]

I love how LvD talks about his opponents. Acknowledging his mana being up when the opponent missed lethal and calling it an unexpected win rather than talking about how the opponent failed ❤

[@electric_dream_machine]

Good lord how cathartic to see the mono discard deck fold after a hellish game

[@falsetear5292]

100% agree, lvd played that like a trooper it was beautiful to see

[@BusinessCat88]

Props to game 1 opponent, who watched his board wipe and LVD draw 17 in 10 seconds.

Imagine if Sol Ring was on arena. Turn 2 vanifar, makes turn 3 blinking an eldrazi pretty realistic

[@yorokobeshitbag4618]

Mythweaver forfeiting like god intended 💯💯💯

[@LegenVD]

It's just a big scaredy-cat.

[@cerilious]

Vanifar feels stronger

[@timboswaggins6675]

Haha, it's actually me playing Sram in this Vid. Got home drunken after cinema with my roomate some days ago. Wasn't in the mood to sleep that moment, so i decided to play some games of commander. Just a feel good moment if you watch the newest episode of your favorite content creator and see yourself playing :D It has been a honor to me being defeated by you, LegenVD :)

[@LegenVD]

Thanks for the game!

[@Say_Tin]

28:40 did the opponent just yeet their own commander into the command zone with their own card... after holding back lethal?

[@Saxtrup]

I believe this is what happened. A lot of crazy effects going off in that game in a short amount of time

[@HannesNeven]

That is some beautiful land art on the basic snow lands

[@slavecek]

Oooh! A post-credit scene... nice!! Thanks, LVD

[@kenny19910]

Amazing deck my dude!

Cool deck!

Without you is difficult to go to sleep, you’re so calm and calm-inducing. Thank you

[@rafaelpardinifariabastos4545]

i think is very funny that simic has aways the most innovative mechanics, and of course love to see you absolutely destroying opponents with it

[@EmeraldTG]

Modified this deck list because I don't have a lot of Mythic Wild cards, but it's still a fun deck! Love the content, Legend!

[@CyberBuster93]

Oh man, Simic drawing a shit ton of cards!? Who could have seen this coming!? 🙄😂 Cloaking is definitely an awesome design space, and Vannifar getting one down for free is serious value! Appreciate you tons Luca!!! 😄

[@nurikhsan8821]

Cloaking is just Manifest with ward.

I want those snow lands 😮

[@Makotarao]

Keep the brawl content coming! That last game the MVP was Uro! Alright, on the next one!

[@slavecek]

In fact, he was the MVC of the whole video!

[@dasfuddl]

We need more Brawl games! This content is awesome and way more interesting compared to standard. Love your content anyway :)

[@marklussier3249]

Enjoy your Brawl video, fun interactions, nice to see if plan a doesn't come to fruition, plan b does, well most of the time :)

[@davestier6247]

The opponent ran, ran so Vannifar awaaay. They couldn't get away.

[@sammysammyson]

Always crazy how the Eldrazi titans are so cracked that you don't even need to get their cast triggers for them to do their thing.

[@Nersal12]

I think the doubled mana with vorinclex does not need to be used with caverns restrictions hence why it told you could cast the flicker

[@poiuyt139]

Great video. But I wonder if this was one of those rare cases that casting emrakul wasn't worth it, because vorinclex had all their mana locked down so you wouldnt be able to cast anything during their turn and then they would untap in the extra turn they get afterwards at 29:45 ?

[@TheCapscorepion]

Classic instant scoops after Emrakul is played haha. Great decks as always!

[@AesirOdinn]

Emrakul is still messing with the opponent's Internet

[@Barturito]

Hey LVD, love your content. I see you aren’t running the snow dual land in the deck, any reason why not? I only ask because you are running into the north.

[@LegenVD]

Drawing it is not ideal and there’s not a ton of upside to fetching it over a Basic.

[@MrCyberGal]

Brawl content is best content

[@crp2035]

Silly question: how do you apply the orbs all at once once you have them, rather than one by one?

[@LegenVD]

Carefully click them one after the other before hitting Submit.

[@NerdGlassGamingPA]

since we bouncin' I could say a copy of Timeless/Eternal Witness and Paths of Tuinvale go great next to your Displacer Kitten.

[@LegenVD]

I've been avoiding Alchemy cards in my Brawl decks, but can definitely see the benefit of a Witness effect!

[@pizzazz8307]

19:57 he shouldve equipped the boots to the courser

[@SeanRussell87]

This is evil. I love it

[@NoPodcastsHere]

8:33 You could prevent their second draw by flickering with the token on the stack, you'd be preventing 1 draw at the cost of them having 1 surviving token.

[@defiantparsnip]

Imagine that you're just out here playing your fun, unoptimized Go-Shintai shrines deck, and you see LVD is your opponent. "Cool," you think, "what neat deck did he put together this time?" Then he kills your board, domes you for 11, and draws 17 cards. "Man, I should scoop, but the guy needs content," you think. "I'll Day of Judgment to drag this out a little." Nope!

[@RibusPQR]

In game 3, Emrakul might not have been the best choice, since she would give you the opponent's next turn, then the opponent would take a turn and have their lands untap.

[@system1042]

bro, THE TITLE CARD

[@losthalo428]

Can someone explain how 'Ixidor, Reality Scultptor' got into arena while not being part of any set or bundle

[@LegenVD]

It was a bonus card in MKM, a “special guest” I believe.

[@losthalo428]

@@LegenVD It's from 'The List' apparently, there were 40 cards added with MKM

[@joaquintristan4373]

Pantlaza player throwing that game was so painful... They had it down and then threw it away

[@davidhower7095]

Woah. When did Ixidor get onto Arena?

[@LegenVD]

One of the bonus cards in MKM.

[@BryanHaddon]

No cryptic coat? Great value and cloaker

[@LegenVD]

Since the cloak is random it’s not super likely to hit something juicy.

[@ShakerGER]

Emrakul screaming "Cloak me mommy! Kreygasm" certainly is a vibe

[@MetaPixel7]

27:42 "math is for blockers" still means you have to attack with everything opponent 😅 he literally had the win.

[@ShamanjotSinghSarai-hz5nj]

Can u make a bant control deck??

Im surprised you made a brawl deck for vannifar when you already made another one for her as well
