Mishra Meld - Brothers' War Standard - MTG Arena

[@huskytcgmagic]

Hey LVD! I enjoyed a lot our match and was fun to watch from your POV. When I was recording I said something like "Let's stay for LVD to do his thing with Mishra" because I hate when I'm trying new cards or combos and people won't let me do it. I think there are two types of content creators when it comes to EA events: the creators that want to make content and show new cards, and the creators who want to be "the first to find the best deck in the format" and the latter ones seem to be conceding all the time when they are not winning, which is kind of sad tbh. Anyway cheers man and keep with the good work!

[@fuduzlp]

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to actually see Mishra. It was quite frustrating seeing everyone conceding.

[@huskytcgmagic]

@@fuduzlp I know, it was the same for me all the time trying to Meld Titania or other fun things, people scooped all the time.

[@beefpelican]

A MAN OF HONOR!

[@Ninjaguiden89]

You dropped this king👑

[@uoodSJW]

I often concede during normal play to get through more games, but we want to see the new things and I feel content creators not seeing it through is antithetical to the whole point of these pre-release VIP events. Those like Mr Loki and Kazumi shouldn't be invited if they can't spare a few seconds to showcase the new interactions.😠

[@davestier6247]

Being a bro like Bearded Husky and actually letting your oppo do the thing in a streamer event really provides a lot of value.

[@fabianrubio8278]

I'm super proud of you for getting all the respect and love from the community for being a respectful player and a cool guy (of course there's also to consider your proficiency playing Mtg) , it recovers my faith in humanity and makes me think that being a nice humble person can still make some impact in society

[@SpeakerWiggin49]

Indeed, by providing respect to your enemy, your allies are inspired to be decent people as well.

[@AkodoNoEyes]

He is genuinely a good guy.

[@OverPwng]

Loved the "Aww.. Opponent exploodes before we can meld" at 12:10 xD

[@RenounceDarkness_]

Just how the game won't let you see the melded Mishra was hilarious. Glad you got to see it on the last game.

[@Captain-Slog]

Great example of how you're a skilled deckbuilder, excellent content creator, and a true gentleman... and a great example of why I now only play Arena against friends. Nobody wants to have fun any more.

[@beefpelican]

These opponents are so rude! It’s a prerelease event, let your opponent do their cool new thing!

[@Devtronzor]

Yeah people who are scooping like that for early access events probably shouldn't be invited again. The point is to showcase the set...

[@edgarlim21]

Rapsolo scooped twice then Kazuki once

[@mad_max21]

These losers want to do their own cool thing. Literally can't wait a few minutes.

[@olafthemoose9413]

Pretty sure wotc tells the participants not to concede for a better viewing experience.

[@Orudaiken]

I understood the kaldheim scoops when a LAND made them unable to lose the game. Opponent doing nothing until you deck yourself is not fun to watch.

[@slidexztv9727]

Its the thought process that is the most valuable thing to be gleaned from this mans videos!

[@caracatoacacepe]

What a bunch of babies in this pre release event. I don't recall it being that hard to make the cool plays in the previous events like these, these people are quitting faster than historic brawl players

[@olafthemoose9413]

I felt that.

[@Typosflair]

So many salty scoops in the early access robbing everyone of content

[@90sNostalgiaNerd]

They do not provide a lot of value.

[@geronimo8159]

@@90sNostalgiaNerd negative value

[@simonh5870]

Did Wizards change their policy regarding playing games to the end in the early access events? I find it weird to see all these early concessions when only content creators of some form are participating.

[@powerchord8497]

Yea another two content creators i watched complained about this (Crokeyz and SaffronOlive). It's BS and these people conceding early should not get to participate in the next VIP event.

[@clon1122]

@@powerchord8497 yeah the main argument is the spirit of the early access is to show players what the cards can do. It isn't meant for you to grind and win.

[@gamingtime9716]

Well, the losing content creators need to make videos that show what their cards do, and losing is a bad way to do that. By conceding, they're more quickly going to be able to produce content. I don't think it's competitive, it's just needing to make a video.

[@powerchord8497]

@@gamingtime9716 I get it. But I thought wotc asked them not to do so just during this event so that all the creators can showcase the new cards and interactions and such. Some of us may not get to achieve them ourselves for a long time. Oh well, if this is all I have to complain about today, I guess I’m in a good spot.

[@LegenVD]

The rules were the same, but I doubt everyone read them.

[@terraproxy4097]

Thank you very much for your time and wonderful gameplay, master LegenVD.

[@Ricky-jl1wf]

Imagine getting a VIP account and pussying out when you see a meld happen

[@BelieMyBurial]

the opponent that conceded literally with the Mishra trigger on the stack, come the fuck on!

[@MidgarMerc]

What's most baffling about early scoopers in early access is that THEY'RE CONTENT CREATORS TOO. Presumably they themselves are streaming or making a video so you'd think they'd welcome showcasing the flashy cards

[@Dark_Jester89]

I gotta say, your videos are on point. I'm not one to really follow mtg content stuff but your gameplay is on point, and short/sweet. I wish I could see you mulligan a hand with description to what you are looking at but great videos.

[@genyrik35]

Great video, but super disappointing to see people scooping in an early access event

[@T-Stokes]

Awesome deck. Also they really need to kick the people who scoop early during these events out of the next Early Access and let some new content creators have a shot at it.

[@gregoriopannelli1788]

It feels like with the core fable harvester sheoldred you can put quite everything in a rakdos deck and it will most certainly work.

[@Ashen_Hollow]

Yessss, now this was what I was looking forward too, while moshes probably won’t be anywhere near top tier I do wanna have some fun with it…before unranked standard becomes nothing but mythic tier decks

[@Justpastawesome]

Hoping those early scoopers never get to participate in any VIP events again.

[@lordlucario8828]

kazuki radiates small pp energy. it's a SHOWCASE!!!

[@JohnyScissors]

Seems like there's a clear winner between the melding brothers

[@twi1ightknight]

There should be rules about early scooping in event!

[@LegenVD]

There actually are!

[@dtczyk8976]

Someone should tell your opponents! Because you got gipped several times!

[@Brntnugget]

That runo deck that one guy had was pretty cool, I might make my own when it the set releases tomorrow

[@CyberBuster93]

Idk how someone as kind as you keeps getting getting paired with rude opponents. You're one of the best mtg deck builders and players out there! Keep on being awesome and don't let jerk players get to you man!! This deck is awesome!!

[@CyberBuster93]

Fable is truly the engine of MANY decks haha xD

[@cloud9847]

Pretty sure blink effects will return the prototype creatures for their higher mana cost 'bigger' creature. something to think about. Argos ship comes to mind.

[@thcdreams654]

An LVD video is a great way to start the day.

[@Feanturo]

This is the card im looking forward most from this upcoming set.

[@jchoi9340]

I’ve noticed more and more these VIP’s have really crappy attitudes. Everyone quits like a sore loser when you’re supposed to let the games play out so people can test out new decks. The sense of entitlement is real when WoTC makes it a condition to not quit and everyone quits anyway because they fear no repercussion. Legend makes great decks and we can’t even see them fully.

[@MrSirbra]

I thought wizards punished ppl who scoop during early access?

[@aldrinvendt8524]

Is it worth playing bitter reunion in this deck? I feel like it might help you find the combo cards more, and let you give them hast which could be nice.

[@LegenVD]

Definitely a card I had overlooked!

[@idkjustleavemebeplease]

Thanks for these. Turns out if you play creature removal and smite either their urza or mishra, they just quit. 😁

[@dzello]

It really sucks that meld cards exile before fusing. I really wanted you to do a mutate deck where you mutate on Phyrexian Dragon Engine or Phyrexian Flexgorger as they make great mutate cards. Wizard thought of everything!

[@davidhower7095]

I’m sure it’d be a rules nightmare, lol. Though I’m very sure they didn’t have Mutate in mind when designing Meld in Eldritch Moon

[@dzello]

@@davidhower7095 They likely did not, but there's other cards that would be problematic. Pretty much everything that attaches like Enchantments and general buffs. By having the cards go out of play through exile, they deal with all of those (and, sadly, mutations). Phyrexian Flexgorger still works as a Mutate card, but that's it. Mutating on Titania, Voice of Gaea with a monogreen mutate deck would've been hilarious.

[@Zwerendevinger]

Maybe you can do a video on what cards over- and underperformed in standard in your opinion. I would be interested in that!

[@LegenVD]

Still early to tell, but relatively happy with my Top 25 list video so far.

[@Smashogun]

I replaced the lightning strikes with 2 Mishra's Command and works very well for me personally

[@gentlevader]

Could you have copied Mishra with Kiki-Jiki and then attacked with the copy and the Dragon Engine to meld?

[@gentlevader]

Nevermind! You answered that later on!

[@gaminggeckos4388]

14:08 Maybe would’ve been worth risking it by using a blood token to try to hit the land drop, and then still be able to play Fable

[@magussephiroth]

Is this an accidental upload? You usually upload at noon my time. It’s 6 hours early! Not that I’m complaining

[@geronimo8159]

It's noon here 😉

[@LegenVD]

Double upload today!

[@magussephiroth]

🎉🎉 best Monday ever

[@rabidcabbage7230]

I think go for the throat is especially bad in the early access since many creators are trying to show off the new and cool artifact creature

[@JRandall0308]

Wonder if there's room for Reckless Stormseeker to give haste to Mishra to get the meld one turn early?

[@LegenVD]

Definitely a solid option for the surprise Meld, can possibly replace Fleshgorger.

[@User-jo7jp]

in the second game, if you copied Mishra with Kiki and attacked with both the token and dragon engine would it have melded? or do you need the actual card to come back from exile?

[@LegenVD]

Can't copy Mishra sadly.

[@dac2007]

Can't meld with tokens also even if you could copy it

[@blade2718]

Did you do a Titania Meld?

[@ht491]

I feel like the losers rage quitting because you did something cool in the early access event shouldn’t be allowed to participate in the next early access event

[@butdoesitscrub3457]

Lol the disappointment in ur voice everytime scoops up.

[@hostileeldritch2686]

lmao anyone notice match 1 and match 2 were against the same opponent? i guess that would happen with a limited number of players

[@gabrielrivera6869]

:o im too early today! nice for the great content as usually LVD ^^

[@SM-hr3zo]

Nice! Meld 'em all! :)

These scoopers shouldn't be invited to a prerealese event again. They are losing the game in less than a minute anyways, really don't understand their mentality. They wouldn't want you to scoop before they do their cool thing I bet.
