Looks like UW fliers will finally win for that guy who was so keen on it.

[@alfa0i0omega]

RED....DECK....WINS...

[@ajfox84]

FleurVonConspicua Abzan Revolt it seem now

[@MrCyberGal]

Welp, the UW Fliers guy is never getting his wish.

[@SzmidtDaniel]

I'm the UW Fliers guy (or at least one of them, as I have seen other guy here asking for this deck). Yeah... it seems that the deck will never win the poll hehe

[@bobSeigar]

I think the fact that this one came up in my feed means I've watched all LVD's videos.

[@Frankie-zj6my]

"On to the next one !" starts to be legendary !

[@m1dn1ght5un]

Always nice to see a deck that is quite rare in the current meta. Definitely gonna give this one a spin.

[@DarkN3r0]

Humans tribal is not rare at all. I meet them quite often after reaching level 30.

[@m1dn1ght5un]

At level 40, I haven't seen tribal humans for a while...but perhaps that's just the luck of the draw.

[@sirk1158]

First of all I highly recommend for anyone to tinker a bit wit this archetype - there are many possible builds and some of them are able to reach lvl 40 (today I went 4:1 with mine against 3x decks). I play this deck for quite long time, similar build took me far this season. Main differences: - I run Angelic Destiny - steals many games, really a powerful play since u have a lot of creatures and opponent runs out of instant speed removal quite easy, - I run Collective Effort - its versatile and I run this deck since meta was full of enchantment mill :) anyway its still potent card. - I prefer Knight of White Orchid over Hamlet Captain. Captain wont buff itself and seems useless when opponent has a 3 drop. Also Knight is a better target for Renegade, benefits more from Always Watching. - I highly recommend trying out Veteran Cathar - it makes blocking so much harder for opponent, and is a nice mana sink if I don't want to overextend expecting a sweeper. you run Duskwatch Recruiter for this probably, I run Bygone Bishop, - i play with 3 mana Nissa - works ok even, puts much pressure on enemy to attack. on the other hand I don't have Gideon. I'm bit proud my (kind of rare) favorite archetype is featured here, but a bit sad I will loose the element of coolness and surprise in my machups :) Anyway keep on the good work, i like your videos.

[@LegenVD]

Pretty much every card you mentioned (except Nissa) was in the deck at some point or another. The build in the video was more tuned to beat control decks which I was facing more regularly, so that's why I shied away from Collective Effort and Angelic Destiny. Knight of the White Orchid is definitely on the shortlist, helps find more lands for Recruiter activations as well. It's the kind of card I would always want when on the draw. Veteran Cathar is great with heavy hitters like Castellan, but it is pretty mana intensive. Double green for Nissa is too difficult on the manabase, since we already have double white cards we want to cast early.

[@weirdaisongz]

22:45 Thanks for teaching us how to bm the AI efficiently :D

[@LegenVD]

It's therapeutic :)

[@desolatevenom8151]

I'd really like to see your version of a swing wide, cultivator of blades deck. I've seen a version using thopters spy network and altered ego for some crazy combos.

[@SuperAtheist]

what is the craziest deck one could make in duels?

[@angrysquid9841]

Hey legend, I don't know if you remember but last week I asked you if I should save up gold for the new expansion or get originals completed, and you recommended getting origins done and out the way as it has a lot of playable races and mythics, (I have zendikar, gate watch and shadows) well I have gotten roughly 18 packs since last week and am flying through it thanks to languish mainly which I got out my second and third pack and am able to play some very fun control decks, so thanks for the advice 👍

[@LegenVD]

Glad I could help!

[@OriginMD]

Thanks for the classic Selesnya humans. Do you think it's all right not to include the reclamation sage in the current meta?

[@LegenVD]

It's an option, but I think this deck can usually win vs Vehicles by going bigger, so don't think it's really necessary.

[@OriginMD]

Surpsingly, I've met very few vehicle decks now at ranks 30-40, seems people are a little bit tired of them

[@LegenVD]

Vehicles is my go-to deck when I need to make up for the rank I lose with janky decks :p

[@OriginMD]

Turn 2 copter or heart is still one of the most powerful plays in Duels, yeah. Judging by the full AMK spoiler it's likely to remain so for the time being

[@LegenVD]

Unlicensed Disintegration is also very messed up.

[@Nighthawk233]

I checked last week's results and i'm calling fixed, there's no way Abzan revolt lost at the last minute! I swear if we don't get to see some janky aid of the cowl deck before the season ends...

[@LegenVD]

RIGGED

[@klaiken989]

Does anyone know when amonkhet will be released for Magic Duels steam???

[@LegenVD]

April 26th afaik.

[@klaiken989]

LegenVD Cool, ya I wanted to try this deck out but I do not wanna lose my rank and make that climb again haha

[@orunsir8394]

Is Odric in Magic Duels? Cuz I think he would be a really good addition to this deck.

[@LegenVD]

He's not in the game.

[@orunsir8394]

As in not in Magic Duels or as in not in any of the games? Isn't there an Odric, Lunarch Marshal and an Odric, Master Tactician card? I'm confused D:

[@LegenVD]

Master Tactician was in Duels 2015 I think, but neither Odric is in Magic Duels

[@benjohncarlso]

81K gold well done my friend. I wish I had time to play video games like that. Having a baby put the stop to that.

[@Kasukurri1]

What is your favorite deck, LegenVD?

[@LegenVD]

Any deck where you have a lot of interesting decisions to make.

[@addambarcelos]

Cool deck

[@waves3456]

Tbh I'm surprised at least one copy of ulvenwald mysteries isn't in this deck.

[@LegenVD]

It's a reasonable inclusion, but can be a little too slow in a Vehicle meta. Cards like Duskwatch Recruiter can already provide some extra card advantage, while still being a creature that can attack and block. If you expect a lot of control decks then it can be very good.

[@MastaPhil666]

RNG hates me with this deck. For 3 games in a row with about 3 to 4 mulligans each, I get 2 or fewer lands & can't make any early plays.

[@LegenVD]

Don't give up on it :'(

[@Iriador1982]

Holy Moly! How did you manage to get 80.000 Gold in such a small timeframe???

[@Ryuusei36]

A howling mine full of gold, what a nice draw.

[@ajud]

purfect coz he is a cat. NOICE

[@Mannehrlich]

Hey Legend ever wanna give infinite Combo a shot? Wispweaver Angel, Flameshadow Conjuring and Cultivators Caravan?

[@hitmanmtg8615]

ohhhhh no! Do not give me this infinite combo rubbish again! I get enough of that at FNM!

[@alfa0i0omega]

To infinity...and beyond!!!

[@LegenVD]

I would prefer to stay at rank 40 before the new ranked season starts :p

[@Mannehrlich]

So you have your Challenge?

[@benjohncarlso]

27:00 dude you need to come to the U.S. I will take you to a casino because your luck is amazing. We will clean up.

[@LegenVD]

I'll take you up on that offer ;)

[@sergiorr90]

Proud to be human

[@Ravenguard90]

.

[@alfa0i0omega]

K this humans better be worth leaving reflector mage behind. >:(

[@Deviantidol]

Isn't Reflector Mage's casting cost one colorless, one white and one blue? Personally, I think it'd be silly to do an extremely light splash of blue just to have Reflector Mage in this deck, but then again that's just me.

[@axelbloodmoon9841]

I made a bant humans deck that did pretty well. it's less aggressive though. I think its worth splashing blue for reflector mage and tamio.

[@MrThewooter]

Though your decks are great and you pick up on bad plays.... going for the rubbins with the champ was a bad move. Rematches are not out of the question and giving your oppenet extra info about your deck when you are going to win anyway is bad. This applies far more to people taking this game into real magic aswell seeing as paper mtg is always best of 3, and this kind of habit can cause you to loose games.

[@LegenVD]

That particular opponent had already seen the Champion earlier in the game and the second copy was revealed by Duskwatch Recruiter.

[@MrThewooter]

My bad! Then yeh, no reasion to not go balls deep in if your oppenet had seen it.

[@LegenVD]

No worries, I avoid giving opponents extra information irl.

[@MagicRaky]

80.000 gold gg

[@CarloGoiff666]

I think you should be more selective with the matches you put on your videos? second one with opponent stuck on 2 mana was dissapointing as i would love to see this deck against an aggro deck, but an aggro deck with decent curve of course and not AI.

[@LegenVD]

Between opponents instantly getting replaced by AI, mulligans, manascrew, etc. it's always a challenge to record good content. I would love for every match to be very close and interesting. Thanks for the feedback though, I'll try to improve on this in the future.

[@CarloGoiff666]

You should because when the opponent doesn't get lands everything seems right with any deck.
