The most jaw-dropping deck in Standard.

[@goomshill]

Ancient cornucopia is just so good people are putting it in decks even if it could theoretically brick their combo

[@dominic9669]

mana rock with passive lifegain, sounds slow, but its perfect against aggro! :)

[@goomshill]

@@dominic9669 Pristine talisman was playable making colorless mana and 1 life per turn. This rock makes any color and can reliably be ~3 life per turn (cycle) in the right deck

[@stephenwithaph1566]

Not so sure it is good vs aggro. Turn 4 begin lifegain once? Maybe some games it may matter if they dont have enough indirect damage? Consistent aggro counters benefit from early creatures with power greater than 2, or toughness greater than 3

[@123silverslash]

@@stephenwithaph1566like with pristine talisman, 1 life per turn is still very good against aggro, and cornucopia rarely is only netting 1 life if you’re not monocolored. The point is that even just a couple life can buy you an extra turn against aggro, which will net you more life and put victory further and further away for the aggro player

Watching Boros Convoke with the perfect draw on the play get wrecked in Match 3 *chefs kiss*

[@CMHjunk]

I feel like a perfect draw from Boros Convoke on the play doesn’t leave you alive to make a turn 5 play with no blockers in play, even through 2 removal spells. But still awesome to see what they assumed was an inevitable win snatched away in one turn

[@JRandall0308]

I haven’t been this pleased with a combo deck since Prosperity / Cadaverous Bloom.

"We can just kinda cast our cards at random and still win." Lowkey flex

[@00110000]

Few single cards seem as dirty as casting and flipping Invasion of Alara on the same turn. Sure plenty of plays can be more powerful, but making use of all the effects of each side just _feels_ so overwhelming.

[@d0zeboy]

Not sure I’ve ever seen mono red get destroyed so badly as in game 1, nice. Utterly wrecked, dismantled

[@beastmode53678]

I know this isn't the point of your video, but I just love those basic lands. The art is beautiful, I wish I could buy them. Forget the shuffler, this is Arena being cruel. :) Great deck and piloting, of course. Goes without saying.

Love the new ending card with the color breakdown and winrate. Also, question: why copy Desecrator over Fleshgorger at 23:35? I'm interested in learning from your thought process!

[@LegenVD]

Could potentially lose to the Flying creatures getting pumped somehow, so was trying to mitigate that as much as possible.

@@LegenVD Thanks for the answer. I'm in love with wild multicolored decks, that's why I'm considering making this one. This decks seems to have answer to everything, but I'm not a pro, and I can be wrong here. From Your experience what this deck lacks most? You mentioned there are other, better, decks to rank up - any recommendations? Could You mention ~5 different decks for kinda easy rank grinding? I'd be very grateful for that :)

This is such a cool deck. It looks very difficult to pilot so well done. How consistent is it overall?

[@LegenVD]

Hopefully the video can answer that question!

[@erikblomqvist8325]

@@LegenVD I think you had a lucky run. I've won zero games, where I didn't draw Invasion of Alara and I don't win every game where I do draw it. I actually bricked in my first game and lost. Also, if you don't play it until turn 5, you will probably be dead before you can cast it. You really need to find some ramp or the right interaction to stay alive. My current win rate is 33%, so I wouldn't waste wildcards on it, if you don't already have most of the cards.

[@LegenVD]

​@@erikblomqvist8325 It's still a combo deck at the end of the day, so you'll need to mulligan more than you're probably used to. Definitely had some fortunate games in the video, but even the old version was closer to 50% over a large sample. People are quick to downplay new decks, but often don't take the time to learn their inner workings. Aggro decks do well on the ladder because they're relatively straightforward to pilot.

[@erikblomqvist8325]

@@LegenVD You're probably right about the mulligan thing. I don't really play combo decks and I play a lot of limited, so I mostly mulligan if I don't have a playable curve. It's a fun deck, but I'm losing too much rank playing it. Will give it another try and see if I can improve my win rate by being a bit more aggressive with the mulligans.

[@MrHat.]

Thoughts on running Spinewoods Armadillo. Seems like having 5-8 copies of land fixing/life gain is pretty good.

[@LegenVD]

Would happily play it if it cost 7 mana, but sadly doesn't flip the Battle with Desecrator. So there's no card I would really want to cut for it, even if the effect isn't bad.

[@TheChzoronzon]

It's not wildly different, but we basically trimmed the win-more stuff for a more consistent turn 4 or 5 combo.

Why does no one play Bramble Familiar with Kellan Joins Up? It works and seems easier to proc.

[@LegenVD]

One the one hand Kellan Joins Up wants you to play cheap Legendary creatures, whereas Fetch Quest benefits from expensive permanents.

[@OneSet84]

@@LegenVD I certainly understand that point, and you would lose out on the Alara flip (since I don't see Alara AND Joins Up in the same deck) but if the goal is simply to cast Fetch Quest ASAP, plotting Familiar with Kellan Joins Up seems like the fastest way to achieve that. (Bant mana being easier to line up than WUBRG) I think I've found a new jank experiment!!!

[@beleagueredbeluga5228]

You mean better than Herd Migration? The armadillo is 6 mana, but he needs 7 mana cards to flip the Invasion of Alara. Plus, the armadillo would be one body, whereas the Migration gets a wide army. If you really meant the Cornucopia then im not sure that follows? The rock will continually give him more life and more mana in the long run over the armadillo.
