Ratadrabik of Urborg - Historic Brawl - MTG Arena

[@thenosreme007]

The color coding overlay of card categories during the intro is amazing!!! 💯 Super helpful in parsing through the cards.

[@mantidream8179]

LVD, you are always ramping up the production quality with things like the new color guide and spinning double-sided cards, one of many reasons why you're my person fav mtg content creator alongside the prof

[@LegenVD]

I appreciate that!

[@dichsedichse]

The Draw animation was very satisfying! Interesting they implemented it, seeing how unlikely a draw is in a game of magic.

[@davidhower7095]

Strange that they both got the mill animation. LVD died to poison, so they should’ve gotten the poison death version.

[@theomnipotent9402]

That was a newer animation for being milled

[@yonahgreene]

that ending "one does not simply go infinite" was such a cute touch lol

[@cheesie49]

Really loving that new color coded intro for the categories. It sorts them well and is quite visually appealing

[@gamingking1]

The photo-finish draw was amazing. Glad we got to see it.

[@hirayan8177]

Its a good night when you just finished Homework and LVD uploads right after. Cheers bro

[@TonytheTono]

Ratadrabik is my favorite commander, but I've always been too intimidated by historic to try him out in it. Thank you!!

[@tom4465]

That has got to be one of the best Intro's to a deck ever, love it.

[@gcm9137]

3:03 is such an amazing addition, worthy for all creators to emulate

[@Skipston55]

You're making me identify weak points in my own commander decks I haven't even thought about. Good plays and good descriptions. Kudos good sir.

[@LegenVD]

Glad I could help!

[@matthewodea7550]

"One does not simply go infinite". Even the outro is top quality

[@alexandreviana4461]

I think that was the 1 time I saw a draw outcome! Once again excelent content as always LVD!

[@CyberBuster93]

I've been interested in making this deck for Historic Brawl and Commander! So awesome man, you're the best!!

[@CyberBuster93]

Definitely like the colored overlay on each of the card categories! Brilliant idea man! Provides so much value hehe xD

[@00110000]

The irony that a key factor of winning with this deck is killing Sean Bean over and over is not lost on me. The man can't catch a break!

[@thcdreams654]

Really cool deck and concept. Great set of games. Solid content as usual. Thanks.

[@LegenVD]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@yonahgreene]

that prologue to phresyeis in game 3 was such a damn cool finale. You even called it first. Super entertaining wow.

[@johndoe9343]

I'm really happy you showcased this deck. I've been so obsessed with it. 188 (111-77) matches with it so far. It's fun in back and forth games. It's fun getting a quick win. It's fun to play it in simplified or complex board states. The amount of different types of combos and synergies and recovery potential makes this deck among my all time favorites overall and compared to other types of combo decks. Whether it's giant Nazguls or a giant Bartolomé del Presidio, or treating a card like Fleshtaker or Woe Strider as a tutor with infinite scry, or creating a million ring bearer enabler copies with Teysa or Mondrak*, or even playing a fair game of Aristocrats... it's been such a blast. *even if your opponent just casts Overwhelming Splendor + wrath the next turn LMAO

[@LegenVD]

Glad to hear!

[@goodguyshuckle9270]

hey i love this. my rata deck got me to the top 12th place in CHB tourney so seeing an improved list makes me excited

[@dandelionplays]

Winning the game in response provides a lot of value

[@jessewatson4876]

Pure evil goes infinite. I love it.

[@CrimbusDaJimbus]

Separating the quick breakdown and deeper deck tech sections is brilliant

[@TheChzoronzon]

Nice, always loved Rata

[@WhittleDragon]

Prolly my favorite deck I’ve seen you play. And I watched a lot of videos. Anything with my girl Teysa in it is dope. Thank you.

[@LegenVD]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@CyberBuster93]

Absolutely loved the matchup against Windgrace. Land destruction decks deserve L's haha xD

[@DanoLefourbe]

I really like that way of doing the deck tech! I always listen to the overview, but skip the card by card rundown.

[@heitortremor]

This was my second choice after balrog. They seem like they have some fun niches to build around

[@alexanderkraus139]

I’m appreciating the flavor of playing Loran’s escape and drawing into Loran (after scrying bottom).

[@benrichard452]

Slamming dark ritual for the win after the opponent tries to mana screw you for three turns was chef's kiss

[@shodo715]

Love your content, Keep it up

[@Devtronzor]

Gollum patient plotter also goes infinite. If you are short on mana

[@markburnash8678]

the color coding is super cool

[@androssandross7410]

“In response, I win the game”

[@mateussantana1146]

11:41 We see what you did there LVD.

[@RibusPQR]

Waiter: your steak, sir. Very rare. LegenVD: (draw game from two different non-damage loss sources) indeed, that is rare.

[@Skeithalot]

Nice video.

[@Rokuro1]

Mom, I told you not to disturb me when LEGENVD DROPS A NEW HISTORIC BRAWL VIDEO! GET OUT

[@LegenVD]

Video will always be there, go give mom a hug!

[@jakenhsman]

This is a gross interaction, lol. I expect Ratadrabik to be in increased demand

[@SirXin]

In game against Vorinclex it was better to play Teysa then Mondrak - both double Boromir tokens, but Teysa gives them Lifelink :)

[@legendarye172]

now that you've built the combo version, you should build the actual hardcore legends version

[@bryantan4228]

12:11 Isn’t it always better to make the nonlegendary the ringbearer?

[@LegenVD]

Definitely could've chosen Ghast in that spot.

[@davestier6247]

Keep it secret, keep it safe. Keep it filled with infinite value ❤

[@r4g1ngph03n1x]

Surprised to see that Drivnod is not in the deck.

[@LegenVD]

It's a little pricey at 5 mana, but definitely nice alongside Ratadrabik.

[@AkodoNoEyes]

I honestly think Frodo Sauron’s Bane should be in the deck. Just because. What would you suggest to take out for it?

[@LegenVD]

Dispute or Shambling Ghast were among the weaker cards.

[@theK594]

Infinite Boromirs😂 Wonder what Sean Bean thinks about this😂

[@yarnevancutsem5324]

Fastest click in the west

[@walterlowe7252]

I haven’t missed an lvd video in years… but combo decks are always my least favorite. That’s not to say any of this is bad, just not what I enjoy the most

[@lukesdewhurst]

Do you think gandalf the white* is too expensive to run in this deck?

[@LegenVD]

It's a little pricey at 5 mana, but definitely nice alongside Ratadrabik.

[@aslamkahn9402]

Can you please do grimgrin?

[@plaguedoctoremaz6629]

Sorry legend had to skip the deck tech , I wanna see how the deck Doss

[@dragade101]

F-u-n? This deck is rather hard to interact with. Especially with so many ways to make the same/similar combo. Doesn’t really feel like singleton any more.

[@douglasingersoll7486]

😊

[@geronimo8159]

I mean Nazgul are undead already...

[@ryanbolson23]

Loosing to that poison deck was heart breaking, considering it’s such a braindead deck the opponent is playing.

[@LegenVD]

I think it's pretty awesome how that game ended, doesn't happen every day!

[@ryanbolson23]

@@LegenVD that’s very true, I’m just tired of seeing atraxa poison all the time. I only get to play like an hour a day and there’s been times I played upwards of 5 straight games of just atraxa poison. It gets around most things now that there’s instants that just give poison, and they’ll just have to protect atraxa for 9 turns to win, often having handfuls of removal and counter spells, just wasting what little time I have because I can’t play the game. Just not fun to me. But you’re a stronger man than me clearly.

[@suwakomoriya5723]

@@LegenVD I really thought they would lose because they would draw from an empty library before state based actions were checked and now I know that losing from drawing from an empty library is also a state based action. Definitely not a common way to end a game !

People who emote "nice" without having said hello deserve all the L's they take.
