Making every artifact token in Standard.

[@collin4555]

Absolutely love how your cautious plays against the control player were validated to the letter. Couldn't have scripted that better.

[@Henzoid]

The final moments of that first game dude. Oh my GOD I felt like I was watching the first season of Death Note. "Aha but if my opponent has this in hand, I'll need exactly four more +1/+1 counters to get around this, and if he has this... I HAVE ANOTHER TOKEN." What a time to be alive.

[@nagiros4263]

Hi henzoid hope you’re doing well 👋

[@mantidream8179]

The ending of that first game was some of the finest mtg play I've ever seen. I can only imagine the odd mixture of respect and chagrin your opponent felt seeing you perfectly predict the sequence they would pull off.

[@vanthadoun1]

1st match, Opponent is seeing 2 moves ahead, LVD thats ok, I can see 5 moves ahead, wins with Mite token

[@gabrieleorlando8721]

Keep up the great work Legenvd!!💪🏿 Salutes from Italy!!

[@LegenVD]

Grazie!

[@tihuffman]

Am I remembering right that LVD opened his first pack of magic cards in Italy?

[@geronimo8159]

​@@tihuffman could be right. He told something like him playing Magic with his cousin on the beach, if I remember correctly...

[@LegenVD]

@@tihuffman Correct, used to vacation there to visit family.

[@tihuffman]

LVD lore. I really enjoyed that interview.

[@Say_Tin]

"Now if our opponent is holding a counterspell, they'll just have to watch as we make everything uncounterable" What a savage lmao

[@SignorAde]

Gotta love all these decks in the Azorius Artifact archetype, winning matches after getting swiped 5-6 times.

[@Say_Tin]

Only Luca will attack with four 28/28s and a 9/9 into an opponent at 5 and ask if it's enough xD

[@collin4555]

And then be right to ask it!

[@abelk.johnsen309]

Thank you Luca for blessing us with another Jewel deck, which remains easily my favorite card in standard. The jewel plus vault combo is almost impossible to overcome, and the 17% odds that both appear in the opening hand isnt even a bad rate. The issue remains of course the aggro matchups, turn 3 sunfall notwithstanding. I've found to my disappointment that individual card quality remains too important, which makes the janky and slow artifacts in your deck a (fun!) liability. In my efforts to make the jewel competitive, Ive used it in a esper superfriends deck, where planeswalkers can soak up the early damage and conveniently go to the graveyard for the Enlightened win

[@abelk.johnsen309]

And it works! Straight to mythic (after much tinkering)

[@Finnigan28]

- What about Wandering Emperor? - We already considered Wandering Emperor - Yes, but what about 2nd Wandering Emperor? (Throws a couple of extra maps at the mite)

[@Say_Tin]

i liked the part where luca said it's token time and token'd all over the place

[@Big_Dai]

Had you kept Mirrex earlier on Game 1, I can imagine things being easier.. we'll never know!

[@AtraxaApologist]

Your match one ending play was really smart damn

[@mauromapelli4836]

What a fantastic first game, this should be put in the MTGA playbook for everybody to study. Ciao Luca!

[@mr.marker6449]

Thank you for entertainment in study hall

[@aquafrog]

Oof. The first game was kinda epic.

[@Say_Tin]

Luca out of context 33:35

[@Cynndora]

hotdamn that first game.

[@johndoe9343]

lol, they can try countering Chimil, but without Tidebender or whatever else, they're certainly not stopping Transmutation Font from tutoring Chimil. Nice games.

[@redpanda666]

Match one systematically shutting down UW control was so so satisfying

[@johnnamkeh1290]

A bit of a meme, you definitely went out of our way to get every artifact token in this deck.

[@elderlich7562]

Neat little tip: enigma jewel helps pay for its own craft ability

[@LegenVD]

Of course!

[@erik0234]

In the end of match 1, that mite needs a training montage with epic music as you buff him up.

[@lukesdewhurst]

Karn would have been devastating for your opponent first game. A nice ult to ping them to death

[@SpaceBeleren]

First game was absolute cinema

[@JRandall0308]

This deck has more token than a Phish concert.

[@davestier6247]

Nice

[@rohacjustrohac3581]

i think dowsing device in the library would be pretty good for this deck since it gives haste to a creature if a artifact enters a battle field allowing your constructs to instantly blast opponents

[@LegenVD]

Lavaspur Boots might be the simpler solution for those situations.

[@FluffySpikeM]

17 mythics, a little slow to get going... Thanks for showing us some of the jankier artifacts from the BIG SCORE (tm) in action!

[@zackestin1368]

This deck really makes me wish standard rotated a year ago honestly. If standard was slightly weaker it feels like it would be so good

[@Gilbert-l8x]

I love your deck

[@NickTemperistic]

Mono red: Ugh my opponent is thinking I'm fkn scooping

[@ivannintendo]

Something that gives haste would be very nice against control matchups

[@LegenVD]

Could certainly add a copy of Lavaspur Boots for those matchups.

[@vincentvangoo7078]

Watching that first game, might want to put a copy of lavaspur boots into this deck lol

[@LegenVD]

Not a bad idea!

[@davidliekens1137]

Awesome deck, love this content a lot. I do have a question: did you try to fit Skitterbeam Battalion in your deck? I think it would make the deck much faster to get to your kill, but please prove me wrong.

[@LegenVD]

Definitely have plans for a Skittterbeam deck at some point, but couldn't find room for it here!

[@BusinessCat88]

I can almost hear the match 1 player saying "OMG stop trying to play Magic!"

[@ArousMaster]

In the first game I wished we had Lavaspur Boots. Artifact that gives haste would be deadly.

[@DarkRuler2500]

Imagine this deck if Academy Manufacturer were ever to make it into the game. :D

[@Kavou]

I run 1 copy of the haste boots on my synthesizer deck, very good way to end games.

[@electric_dream_machine]

Damn who hurt that first opponent?

[@Kuryux]

good stuff as always! o/

[@markhoffman1310]

there has to be a cool way to use dollhouse in this shell.

[@MidgarMerc]

With all those different tokens it's almost worth it to splash green for Audience with Trostani (2G make a 0/1 plant then draw a card for each token with a different name)

[@LegenVD]

Only "creature tokens" are counted.

[@portal2boyz405]

similarly about the first game, perhaps like a white or colorless artifact that gives your creatures haste is good jajaja

[@portal2boyz405]

or attacking with the creature land, that might've shortened it a bit lol

[@LegenVD]

Lavaspur Boots could work.

[@Dumb-bejad007]

@@LegenVD please consider to check the loop interaction between Danitha (equipped with Necrogen Communion) and Bartolome. can be OTK if Elas il-Kor or Tinybones Joins Up are on the field. i tried to build a deck around it but haven't finished yet, i think you can come up with better list. thank you in advance

[@The_Duck_Is_Angry]

too bad you don't have some kind of fling spell or haste to avoid those sweepers.

[@cerilious]

Some haste boots might have won you the first game

[@LegenVD]

Those could make for a useful addition!

[@AtraxaApologist]

If only academy manufactor was in the format

[@astuteanansi4935]

Would it be worth running maybe a couple of counterspells? I can only imagine how incredibly painful a Farewell would have been in that first game and you just *know* the opponent's probably running it too, since their only threats are planeswalkers

[@LegenVD]

Three Steps Ahead could also have some artifact synergy. Farewell isn't widely played anymore, but it certainly wrecks this strategy.

[@abelk.johnsen309]

I've also been pretty happy with mirrorshell crab to go with the enigma jewel. Ability countering is relevant in the meta, especially when the matchmaker pits this type of deck against ub control, whose only maindeck answer to artifacts is usually the one Otawara. Being a channel ability, the mirrorshell can be paid for by the jewel, and the pay 3 condition can be doubled with a flipped jewel, for continue late game utility

[@CyberBuster93]

God, this deck looka so god damn cool, do not get me wrong! But the sheer amount of wildcards makes this incredibly prohibitive for me and Im sure other's as well. We'll just have to live vicariously through you Luca until Arena's economy gets better! Appreciate all you do man 😄🤘

[@THEInkedPotassium]

What about bringing a Pauper deck to alchemy? 🤔

[@budaclees233]

Portal of Winning should be a two of.

[@LegenVD]

It is!

[@TheChzoronzon]

9 Mythic wildcards cause it's basically impossible to get the Big Score ones in packs, unless you spend a couple thousand bucks? Nope, not gonna reward Hasbro's uncontrolled greed...

Let's see how the deck 2 (in spanish)

[@kylekonop4801]

[@honestabe411]

Woulda coulda shoulda

First

[@CyberBuster93]

That first match was a GRIND, but it's always a pleasure to see blue/white control get beat down!!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@jjjameson3379]

Wait.. so you posted a comment saying how good and expensive it was, and 17 minutes later you posted about the first game? Why not look at the entire video, make ONE comment, and stop being such an ass-kisser?

[@themrrental2509]

I'm a pedantic butt, so... this deck can't make any 1/1 or 3/1 kamigawa construct tokens. There's probably a lot more unused artifact tokens then even those in standard right now.

[@johndoe9343]

Oh yea, also Ashnod's zombie artifacts even though it makes no sense here.

Be the change you wish to see in the world!
