MTG Arena - Historic - Kinnan Kombo

[@LegenVD]

This marks the last video featuring Flipsidegaming as a sponsor. After working together for almost three years we parted ways on friendly terms. Only have good things to say about them. New sponsor in the next video, I'm really excited about it!

[@bartvariumDT]

Where will we get our Magikarps then :O ?

[@matt1823]

RIIP magikarps

[@Avatarbee]

Looking forward to the new sponsor message. I hope we will still be loooooking for magic cards.

This is really it, huh. I will miss the segment at the beginning of each video.

Consistently high quality content from LVD. Great work man. I love watching your vids.

[@quentinlee2342]

Your videos are awesome. I truly look forward to them everyday

GG LegenVD. I am Kendis. Congratulations on that brutal Dream Eater at 27:25. Well played as always.

[@LegenVD]

Gg!

[@alexisrodriguez7127]

Wow that double dream eater turn was awesome. Keep up the good work

[@Terrivian_Vess]

I immediately looked for an Ulamog in the deck. Great games dude.

[@MrSheepblack69]

Yeah I also wondered where he is at

[@LegenVD]

Was briefly in the deck, but missing out on the exile ability if we find it with Kinnan made it less exciting than most other ETB creatures.

[@gustavosousa5246]

Really happy to see tishana being played once, great vid

Wow that was me you played against game one! When I saw your deck tech I knew it looked familiar....GG!

[@spidergregory3857]

There’s something very satisfying about watching a Thorn Mammoth pick off a mono black deck with spot removal.

[@Sir_Master]

24:08 it takes true intelligence when attacking with a leafkin Druid 👌🏻👌🏻 But loved the video! Simic ramp is so outrageous!

[@CrashAshes43]

34:53 I might be missing something in the effect here, but could the ETB fight effect of Kogla plus the Mammoth fight trigger be used to take out the damaged Pridemate, since it's sitting at 12 after combat damage? I'm sure the opponent couldn't do much to turn the tables anyway, but is that a dumb/riskier line of play?

[@LegenVD]

Yeah that could've worked. If they weren't an Umori deck that might have been needed.

[@venedrex5214]

Thanks for the content LVD, you rock!

[@aldwinferaer2796]

had to replay when opponent greeted "hello!" when you greeted back at 17:00..you got sharp eyes dude

[@gogaschnitzel3222]

Damn

[@Razuka7]

at 34:55 could play second Kogla and ETB fight Kogla+mammoth to finish adjani tht left 12 HP.

[@Nick-Meme]

22:29 What a play!

[@obesechicken13]

33:30 I was dreading the discard. If you play a similar deck in standard luminous broodmoth is sorta wipe protection.

[@readenwilson1101]

22:00 Someone please answer this - doesn’t thorn mammoth have to fight a creature your opponents control? There shouldn’t be an option to decline right? Edit: Oh it’s says “up to” one target

[@elchingon12346]

That lifegain deck made me realize something Why does Robber of the Rich, a card that ends every turn sideways, get reach when an Archer Goddess doesn't? I'm sure the answer is flavor for the former and balance for the latter, but kinda funny

[@Kasamori]

Oketra. No reach :D

[@nucklehead99]

I just started playing historic the other day and faced a Kinnan deck. I was figuring this was what the deck was going to be like, but i was playing Winota and well the games didnt last long. Also, game 2 they played a Graf Cage, which caught me off caught cause i felt it would hurt them more than me. Nice deck!

[@steviethedude3736]

I’m only 10k gold away from getting the new anthology hooray! Great video as always

[@MrSheepblack69]

That first game though 😂✌️

[@maciek19882]

It's good that mana no longer burns, right?

[@elliotthood1719]

Yeah, seriously

[@maskettaman1488]

It would suck if we needed to put forethought in to our plays

[@jzoobs]

What does this mean?

[@User-jo7jp]

mana burn helps stop some instances of degeneracy, but they wanted to make magic simpler and more streamlined. the only early aspect of the game i feel should have been banned was ante... so many tears lol.

[@YouWillNeverKnowMan]

Eheh, I miss the good old days of mana burn and combat damage on the stack.

[@GozuTennai]

Did you enter the 2 day tournament, LVD?

[@CyberBuster93]

When I saw that you put the K in combo, I immediately thought of Mortal Kombat for some reason xD

[@scoop8799]

Ok this is my favorite deck ever

[@richardadams7667]

9:38 the auto tapper mean you couldnt also cast Tishana. If you had tapped your creatures to cast ancient, then youd have 6 mana to from two lands to cast tishana.

[@LegenVD]

Good call!

[@temporaltomato3021]

LegenVD, don't know if you realized, but Hydriod Krasis might be a neat tech for this deck, what with all the ramp and the Simic coloring :^) No need to thank me.

[@DeepCDiva]

I think it doesn't synergize well with Kinnan's ability because you could end up hitting a creature that enters as a 0/0, so Teshana fills the role as the top end that also refills the hand.

[@temporaltomato3021]

@@DeepCDiva It doesn't but it's just an insane and overplayed card, hence the joke.

[@benrichard452]

Woow you drew both Dream Eaters. Been casting some Dark Bargains in real life?

[@mishkin11]

I really enjoy playing this deck, an was wondering what you would do to make it into a BO3 deck?

[@goncalofreitas4808]

Hydroid krasis seems perfect for this deck

[@kitsovereign4127]

I thought so too, but you don't want Kinnan to find a 0/0.

[@lynkios]

Well, Kishana does a similar thing when it comes to drawing cards, specially when you summon her from your deck, Krasis just comes as a 0/0 if it's the only card you hit, which is sad.

[@JukesMcGee]

@@kitsovereign4127 I think he knows that 😆

[@Dog3D]

Whoa if he knew that then they would realize hydriod isn’t perfect in this deck

[@JukesMcGee]

@@Dog3D yeah he was being sarcastic man. It is obvious that krasis would not be good in the deck. Do I really have to explain this?

[@filipstysiak]

I was happy for the lifegain player, not gonna lie :D

[@maeldun6774]

Aren't there any control decks in historic? Doesn't this deck just keel over and die to a single wrath effect?

[@rodrigomendez-villamilrubi3314]

Nice deck but finale of devastation needed!!

[@LegenVD]

I prefer having more hits with Kinnan, but there are certainly spots where it would be useful.

[@MarcoAntonio-ct1zq]

Why not put craterhoof in this deck.?

[@hankravich8495]

with all of these mana creatures would it make sense to add leyline of abundance? Would it be worth it to give up Umori for that?

[@jguitar151]

7 mana creature that draws 4 on turn three. “Yeah I think that’s fine”

[@TheValiis]

Thats the whole forest lmao

[@Derael]

Isn't accelerator from Theros (then one that gives 2 mana if you have 4+ power creature) better than Maraleaf pixie? It's easier to cast, and it potentially generates 1 more mana. I guess pixie is better vs decks that play 1/1s (and chump blocks fliers), but otherwise it's a bit underwhelming.

[@LegenVD]

Found myself wanting an extra Flying creature a couple times. It's not the best with the various mana discounts.

[@Lunarman1000]

How are you playing non ranked historic?

[@UlfMTG]

What about Rhythm of the Wild to make the mana dorks generate mana immediately? with the right setup you can activate Kinnan with infinite mana and put every creature in your deck in play and attack with haste lol

[@LegenVD]

Adding a third color is a pretty big cost, although it would be nice with Incubation Druid.

I’m just so tired of seeing this card in Brawl that every drastic mana increase and every activation in this vid makes a capillary in my brain pop. Still a good video, though.

[@LegenVD]

Yeah, made this deck after seeing him in Brawl.

[@waves3456]

First op scooping that early is really BM.

[@jzoobs]

Eh, I wouldn't consider it bm. This is ranked Historic, right? People are there to win games, and if it's clear you're going to lose the game there's no incentive to stick around. It's cool if they let you combo off, but I don't think it's a bm to scoop there.
