MTG Arena - Standard - Half & Half

[@charlieharrington7526]

It is so satisfying to watch a player who uses the "Oops" emote get taken to the cleaners.

[@douglasingersoll7486]

Absolutely

[@vumasster]

That’s when you spam the Ellywick emote at them

[@DeeJy33]

I only use that emote when people have rage-quit against me and I'm sitting there waiting for the victory screen. Like "i beat your ass so hard you ran away crying, oops tehe"

It seems the only deck that would stand a chance against LVD when he plays black now is crab tribal.

[@MoonWatcher.]

"I'm assuming opponent know how Tergrid works since they use it in their deck" As if people would read their own cards

[@kharnthebetrayer1575]

Truth!!

[@kharnthebetrayer1575]

But unlike that black control player I know how she works and would have “gg” and bailed. ( run a black control similar to that one)

I killed myself to Orcus last night in true Rakdos fashion.. 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

The game where you hijacked the Tergrid deck was one of a kind.

[@blakemtg47]

It stole the show

"opponent playing 'eye tribal'", lol

[@tihuffman]

Hilarious.

[@jeivalien7253]

Made me chuckle

[@WhiteWhiskerMusica]

Hats off to that tergie player for sticking around... if I see tergrid, lantern, and elderfang go down at all id be ready to pack it in, let alone my OWN tergrid, lantern, and elderfang... big balls move.

[@fatalshore5068]

I would of instantly conceded to that onyx discard. That had to be a misplay not thinking about the tergrid. I would be shame conceding in an instant lol.

[@masterkurosaki100]

Most definitely, that was a nasty turn around.

[@fatalshore5068]

That bm "oops" by oppo assuming you messed up with the tibalt creature cast, only to combo kill him next turn haha. You love to see it.

[@joesullivan7940]

I was hoping the deck MVP would be Tergrid. Ah well.

Gotta love when the lvd video drops just in time for the final hour of work

[@hyrumreed388]

Right it's the best feeling!

Lmao

[@jasonwoot5199]

It always put a smile on my face when someone says “hello” and you say “hello” back.

[@ScooneyPuba]

43:20 Love that opponent did not fathom that you were using Valki as recon only when you could have mana sunk for Tibalt again. Shows how versatile that card is in the hand of someone who can pilot like LegenVD

[@noardon1]

I’m a simple person; I see Scourge of the Skyclaves, I click like. Top tier content LVD!

[@ShooterSF]

If there's one card in standard I wish wasn't so damn expensive :(

[@Glace077]

"This combo can kill from any life total" Idk why but that's such a badass thing to say about your deck's fast wincon lol

[@jzoobs]

Not exactly "fast" when it costs like 20 mana total, but it certainly is a swift finish once you pull it off lol

[@heitortremor]

Really glad to see Warlock Class getting some use

The time for eye tribal is here.

[@moaf2padventures757]

18:12 lol casual 6 for 1. love that sound effect too when it shoots down all their creatures. so sick!

The best part of the weekday is a legenvd video.

I really enjoy the contents. Nice combo

Tibalt stealing Tergrid, who gets stuff from the enemy's hand. How brutal xD

[@jzoobs]

The "Oops" at 43:30....opponent seriously didn't realize they were dead as hell

[@thcdreams654]

Half and half always messed with my stomach. I switched to drinking black coffee with no sugar a few years ago and I cannot go back. Cool concept and execution of the combo. Thanks bro.

[@tehol1]

Thats brutal. Great vid!

[@lukesdewhurst]

I had been wondering at the lack of unexpected windfall i n your decks. Good to see it make the cut.

[@maggoteater2290]

Can you maybe do a video about the best decks in Standard or historic? Would be really interested in your opinion and it would diversify you content a little

[@zhelyazkogrudov6476]

great idea

Phenomenal games!

Thank you so much, for this rakdos Deck! :)

This combo is great!

This deck looks so fun

[@alasanof]

It'll be neat if you could go against a dedicated life gain deck and take them from 100 life to 0.

[@mariusweber4990]

This is such a cool deck! I thought the warlock class was kind of mediocre at first given the high price, but this makes me want to play it haha

[@user-rw8vs1we3y]

I've been doing this with lurrus aura deck, and some duress&remorse for little bit control for blue counter deck

[@KhordLizardMage]

I've been looking for a deck to play the 3 Scourge of the Skyclave's that I randomly opened in packs!

[@GadwickTheWizened]

Alright. Sweet. Onto the next one.

[@DaveMoongazer]

It's cool to see the Warlock class working. Was thinking how I could use it on a deck.

Finally you sound a bit like you are liking the game, winning and stuff ;)

This looks sweet.

[@crovax1375]

Got to love changing up the game plan in match 5! 😂😂😎

[@ridleycampbell2518]

i recommend a few Kazuul's Fury in the deck!! u can fling a scourge to get the opponent in 1 turn a lot of the time, though it's not 100%.

[@drshinobi3979]

Lol were about to release an demon deck almost at the same time ^^ Mine is rendering rn and will be out soon. Nice to see your version of it and looks tight. Mine is a bit spread out and hasty made, also dont have all the cards yet i want for the Devils and Demons theme. Anyways was a fun thing to notice and will make one vid one day in dedication to you as well. As ive said before its always a pleasure watching your really good and analyzing play style. Wish i was more disciplined like you at times ^^ Keep up the good work

[@AtrociousNightmare]

Another perfect deck for me! 🥰 I have a favor to ask! Could you spend a bit more time in the deck tech on the mana base in your videos? I find it always so difficult to build a proper mana base; there are so many factors to consider, so many variables! I was baffled for example by this one. Just basics and pathlands? Why? Is it to ensure you always reach your various ramp targets on curve? Also, do you think there's space for an Onyx in this deck?

I can’t help it gotta say it’s the first time i saw lvd giving a wrong info, when he said to use shadow’s veredict to remove orcus from the opp graveyard, when it only remove creatures up to 3 mana value Lvd confimed human

[@LegenVD]

I meant that by exiling those creatures a future Orcus would be less effective at reanimating things.

Fear the crab

[@elnatanbitensky8314]

How about running the snow lands for frostbite? No real downside and it's excellent in the format. Thirst feels awkward as a sorcery.

[@LegenVD]

It's an option, although I like extra answers for Planeswalkers. The sweepers cover the decks where Frost Bite is better than the black removal.

[@SirMcAwesome]

LVD video so early in the day? It's only 10pm, what am I supposed to do after, it's way too early to go to bed and that's what I usually do right after watching since it normally uploads well after midnight.

[@AtrociousNightmare]

You'd be surprised to see how much your life changes for the better when you start going to bed at 10pm and wake up very early. It's extraordinary: it feels like you cheat time out of life. Recommended. Maybe try it for a month and see how you like it :)

[@SirMcAwesome]

@@AtrociousNightmare you are 100% right, I know this, and I've even tried it and know how it feels, but i can't seem to do that consistently. I've been going to bed late and not sleeping more than 4 to 6 hours per night for like 15 years now and it's completely messed with my ability to sleep. If I try to go to bed early I end up staying in bed, wide awake and unable to shut off my mind for hours and I end up falling asleep late anyway. If I force myself to get super tired and maybe like stay up throughout the night the previous day to kinda reset and go to bed early the next day it might work once but after that I can't seem to maintain it.

[@AtrociousNightmare]

@@SirMcAwesome oh man I know what you mean. I had to fight it for half of my life. It's somewhat more stable now but I still have my moments of weakness haha Best of luck with it, don't give up!

[@SirMcAwesome]

@@AtrociousNightmare thanks buddy, I'm actually motivated to try again now. Gonna hit the gym more consistently, it's helped me in the past with this. Another thing which helped before is cannabis, but I ended up becoming reliant on it and using way too much and just being drowsy all the time so it's not worth it.

[@AtrociousNightmare]

@@SirMcAwesome Yeah doesn't sound like it's worthy at all! Spare your lungs :) Physical exercise does help a lot, especially to regulate energy levels, and therefore sleep cycles, but I hate the gym, so I instead like to do sports or any kind of physical activity that I actually find interesting and fun :D

that korean flag sleeve is neato...

[@dkznikolaj7013]

18:13 shows why token/go wide decks won't ever be good in magic unless they have some way of either getting into play at instant speed like collected company, or a viable way of getting back on the board, like historic elfs are pretty good at. Not that I can complain about black sweepers. White ones, sure. But black sweepers are always way more fair since they actually have some way to be played around that isn't just "Don't play your cards" - which, while correct to do, is honestly just bad design.

[@Sheriff_K]

Peer into the Abyss?

[@anuragk3842]

Both cost the same but scourge ability triggers even if it gets countered... Also this is a 2022 queue so peer is not legal

[@FrelanceEQ]

playing 0 of Bugbear/Hivetyrant lands feels loose

[@elnatanbitensky8314]

True, menace land with leveled up class could be an easy extra 6 damage.

[@LegenVD]

They can be nice, but after playing the deck there aren't many situations where you would be activating them. A lot of ways to spend all your mana even in the lategame, and those untapped lands are important.
