LVD intros are never too much, never too little. They are just perfect.

[@willo7734]

Yeah, perfect song choice every time

Perfectly perfect !

In this video: multiple opponents screaming at their screens and mashing the Concede button.

[@nocontent4487]

As a connoiseur of LVD opening hand assessments, I appreciated "reasonable-ish" in Game 3.

[@Minotaur36191]

"But that seems cowardly" This man really earns the Legend part of his name every video!

Opponents scooped so fast you'd think it was an ice cream parlour

[@kismet8010]

😂

The bombastic beginnings always make me smile. Great way to start a weekend, wouldn't want it any other way!

[@jacksepticeyesdadisburning7982]

Dad level puns x

[@jzoobs]

Lol I love the opponent conceding and you just keep explaining the play you'd make without missing a beat.

[@growthought8670]

Ah, yes, Land Destruction--a hallmark Green-Blue style of deck.

[@Bluecho4]

Another step in WotC's long term plan to remove every color from Magic except Blue and Green.

[@mikeanthony773]

The color pie is just the man trying to keep you down. Fight the machine!

[@nudelsuppe3dsemmelknodel990]

Anyone ever wonder why these decks work? Because lvd play's them

[@Kumagoro42]

Except not a single text on those cards says "destroy target land".

[@Kumagoro42]

@@Bluecho4 Sure. That's why the current tier-1 decks in Standard are: Monowhite, Monored, Boros Cycling, or otherwise have white (Naya), black (Sultai), or red (Naya, Temur) in them.

[@kaimcloskey9943]

Intro format shortened is appreciated, I can kind of see why people like them now

[@jzoobs]

Yes, this is a good one!

[@robertwilson7095]

One of the best recent intros. Nice work. Love it.

Glad you like it!

I missed these openings. Too fun

"So here's this land destruction deck..." "Oh, a red deck?" "No..."

[@TonyScimeca]

It wouldn’t be Simic if it couldn’t do everything!

[@chaoticrevenge7950]

Greens always had land destruction. Its nothing new.

I'd be more surprised if blue had land destruction

[@Phantomwaxx]

Love love loooove the intro!😂 the deck is killer too. Having a blast with it. Thanks!

[@timothygsmith826]

Great great great opening! Didn’t provide any spoilers and showed the point of the deck perfectly

that intro comp combined with your usual intro felt smooth like butter, also hilarious how much destruction this boar does

"I don't know of many decks that can win without any lands in play" : LVD 2021

[@amarauk9687]

Mmm godo or teshar comes to mind, but you need some setup

[@RandomPerson-mv8bn]

to the deck's credit, it's probably the first historic deck i can build with a minimal dent to my wildcards. however, i would love to know which genius at wizards came up with the idea to print a recursive land destruction spell that you can cast on turn 3.

[@emorsi]

Might get banned soon...

[@TheBendago]

Big yeah for intro, short and a perfect preview

[@joserodrigorivera5869]

Loved the intro for this one

[@Dexterity_Jones]

that intro was amazing.

[@sofer2230]

The amount of people that just scoop to a turn 4 artifact/enchantment removal is astounding.

[@TheDambia]

Land destruction is the most boring deck to play against. Even esper control is more fun...

[@TheOuroboros84]

@@TheDambia yeah, Ugin is super fun to play against too...

[@KPX01]

to be fair gemrazer effect can be repeated, if you are playing artifact/chanment heavy deck and dont have removal at hand it is a lost cause . What you expect them to do? play more artifact for the razer to blow up?

[@aeneas1677]

@@TheOuroboros84 rather ugin then land destruction, cause at least then you get the chance to develop your board...

[@deiphos4706]

Now THIS is how you introduce a wacky land destruction deck!!!

[@antischtick3502]

It aint wacky at all. It's real and might be the best deck of the format.

[@deiphos4706]

@@antischtick3502 Yeah i commented that before watching the video. It has real potential.

[@Andy_Paris]

I gave this vid a thumbs up just for that intro alone!

I‘m just on the Intro and gave it a like :) Perfect music + destruction combo

I've been running a Selesnya version with Adanto Vanguard and Adorned Pouncer, but your decks are always the best!

[@Th3K1ngK00p4]

Glorious intro!

[@thubprint]

Amazing intro on this one 😁

[@madbaggins8769]

Land destruction is so amazing. Usually never works, but this deck looks so much fun!

[@jacobm954]

WotC 2010: We want to make sure Simic is flavourful without being overpowered. WotC 2020: So, we fed Simic the whole colour pie... (land destruction + removal of downside) I want to make this deck, looks like fun.

[@Kumagoro42]

There's no land destruction in these cards. If one creatively uses those abilities as land destruction, it doesn't mean they're designed for it. Sawtooth Demolisher takes classic green Commander staple Beast Within and puts a mutate spin on it. And it's also a card that was meant to be played in Commander (or Vintage and Legacy, which totally don't care about it). Direct your complaints to whoever decides that Commander cards (so Vintage-level cards) are okay for Historic.

[@waseatenbyagrue]

I tried it. Just be prepared to get smashed by any meta deck.

[@azaleatwo1393]

I personally didn't mind the spoiler intros but this is great too, keep them coming!

[@quintus9931]

Great intro!!!

[@JohnDoe-xk2sj]

Lots of MTG content creators expressed quite a disappointment versus the latest Historic Anthology but since its release you showcased several decks proving that is by no means less powerful than the previous ones. It does not need macho Ulamogs for that although is has Marit Lage. Thank you very much and many thanks to your Patreons for all this !

[@seanolejar3055]

Best intro yet!

[@liquidxan6698]

Love the intro well done

[@Andrew-om8hm]

My first *serious* deck was a standard mutate deck. I'll definitely try this fun take on it, looking forward to seeing all the explosions lol

[@SirMcAwesome]

Fun? I don't think your opponents will agree 😂

[@karolstopinski8350]

Land destruction and mutate. Two of my favorite things.

[@Justpastawesome]

A green 4-mana 6/6 with land destruction. Repeatable land destruction, at that. That's an interesting design choice by MTG, haha.

[@dzello]

That you can play in a deck that REDUCES its cost...

[@TheObviousCircus]

Totally Forgot that card was in the anthology! Going to build this one right now. Thanks!

[@CrixOMix]

That was the perfect intro :)

[@shatzinorris1417]

Interesting how so many just scooped to a gemrazer of all things

[@beanie7965]

I’m guessing some of them were playing one of the artefact heavy decks without any interaction and knew that anything they played would just be destroyed the following turn. But yeah, some real early concessions for not a lot of reason. If he’s in unranked then I guess people don’t have an incentive to play the game out and just concede when they fall behind.

[@tianchenzheng7464]

OK, now I have my fourth land destruction deck in historic lol.

[@TheSkywalkerman117]

This is so dirty jeez, I love it

[@DanyF02]

This seems like a pretty budget way to make your opponents cry in historic. Cool stuff.

[@carelesstv4111]

Beautiful intro...just beautiful.

[@noardon1]

The level of salt scoops here could replace the lands you destroy. Great deck!

[@netri]

what a brutal and fun (for the player) deck

[@aIexjung]

THE INTROS ARE BACK

[@Legsman258]

Awesome intro!!

[@realmountainman]

This is an awesome deck idea!

[@corey2232]

I don't think I've laughed so many times watching one of these videos as I did today. I could feel the defeat as the opponents paused & came to the realization of what foolery was about to unfold lol

[@FilmColossus]

Hey! Can you do an updated Feather deck?

[@vscwong]

The problem is this land destruction is repeatable with low mana cost, like mutating it with octopus by a single blue. Good job WoTC. And amazing new intro LVD!

[@Legov7]

"Don't know of many decks that can win without any lands in play." Just mercyless.

[@evancalgary7684]

At this point it dosent surprise me that green gets land destruction lol

[@jzoobs]

I dream of the day Armageddon is reprinted 🤪

[@alexanderficken9354]

beast within type effects are rarely printed in green in standard sets anyway

[@eddieroyal8701]

Um...That's good because it shouldn't surprise you. Green has been rockin' LD since Alpha. Ice Storm, Acidic Slime, Creeping Mold, Mwonvuli Acid-Moss, Desecration Plague, Feast of Worms, Rain of Thorns, Reap and Sow, Reclaiming Vines, Rolling Spoil and Winter's Grasp for outright direct LD and spells such as Plow Under for land denial green has always carried a minor LD subtheme.

[@aeneas1677]

green has had land destruction since the game began with winters grasp and ice storm wdym

[@NouvelleVoix]

Who the hell thought land destruction on a mutate creature in green was a good idea?! Anyway, a solid deck as always, LVD.

[@JohnDoe-zx1ck]

As a commander card, its fine. Its a 1 of in a 100 card deck and gets answered quickly. However, putting commander cards in historic is just dumb. Hopefully this trend does not continue.

[@boneshakeripa]

woohoo Historic en masse! 🙏

[@erenjaegerbomb8653]

Jeez the first game was even more brutal than the intro implies. I went from 'oh sweet this'll be a fun idea' to 'hmm I don't know if this is OK actually' 🤔😅 there's aggro, control, and then there's uninstall

[@fricktarf]

intros are back!

[@gabrielstafford5174]

I played against some weird Gruul variant of this deck. But at the end, the combo of my fliers, Heliod, and Soul Warden caused me to win (was using Heliod company).

@@LegenVD Ggz then. Our matches were cool and made me consider maindecking lavacoils for all the 3-4 toughness running around.

[@SarathChandraJ]

Your comment made me think, are there actually any decks in any of the other formats like vintage that can win with no lands?

[@LegenVD]

Dredge decks or decks that use Guides to cheat out mana I guess

[@chaoticrevenge7950]

Greens always had land destruction guys, it's nothing new for the color. And blues also had landhate in a sense in the past with land bounce spells.
