MTG Arena - Standard - Recurring Dream

[@LegenVD]

I've updated the decklist since the video: +3 Eliminate +1 Heartless Act -2 Grim Tutor -2 Murderous Rider

[@tictoktop7679]

Does it perform well?

[@Christoff070]

I was thinking you could also cut one Peer into the Abyss. In opening hand it does nothing, and so the less you see early the better, and with the various tutors and card draw I feel you will still reliably get one each game.

[@james-andrew-adams]

I live for "A Fine Opening Hand" every episode.

[@apsrinivasan1606]

Belongs on a t shirt

[@NZappa]

"On to the next one" T-shirts WHEN?

[@WICKEDJungles]

Also in for a "Lets see how the deckdos!" shirt

[@Caenus1]

It would be cool with an image of opponent exploding

[@MasterAralo]

One I have been waiting for is, "This is fine."

[@DopeyDopes]

Sweet!

[@jasonwarbird]

Don't forget the best, "Don't Mind It" shirt!

[@LaneTheSlain]

I really love your videos and your approach to magic. You are incredibly polite and make strategy simple and easy to learn. Whenever I have friends interested in learning the game I point them towards your channel.

[@Flepagoon_GSG]

I think "dream into the abyss" would a sweet name for this deck.

[@jordanlee8142]

End of match 3; I would think without a lot of risk you could at least tutor for another Agonizing Remorse and hope to draw into 9th land to maybe secure the Abyss casting, but I guess it wasn’t necessary. Always a pleasure to watch you play.

[@MrEquinoxParadox]

LVD already posting "rotation-safe" decks. Yeap, legend!

[@KingHippo78]

Love it! Mono black control in its purest form. You’re dealing damage but hurting yourself at the same time lol. Great vid, thanks for the content!

[@CJan65]

Nothing better than an LVD video notification right when I look at my phone

[@AtrociousNightmare]

I love the way you make these videos so much. The decks are so cool, your explanations super clear, and as a player you are damn good as well! Keep it up

[@thcdreams654]

What did the opponent see when they looked into the Abyss? A man repeatedly saying "alright, onto the next one".

[@JasonSam7]

Everyone gangsta until they hear ''Lookin to improov your gaem??'' from a dark alley.

[@ozzwich]

I love how cool These decks are.

[@daryldunlap8672]

I had this combo done to me before watching your M21 rating video, and then I knew you hadnt seen it yet. hehe.

[@daveslave7858]

legenvd is in love with the guy on the abyss card

[@demilembias2527]

peer into the abyss's card art has got to be some of my favorite in the game, so fucking creepy and trippy

[@Teukro]

Like those Bo3 tips. Will enjoy watching LVD play some Bo3.

[@DanyF02]

22:00 That moment when you decide on a whim to buy a castle, and instantly get buyer's remorse and lose 3 life. Then at 23:56 you realize that you really can't afford to use it, all while seeing your neighbor getting the most out of theirs. This game is surprisingly realistic sometimes.

[@ArchbardWava]

One of those "I should buy a boat" moments in life.

[@imperialtutor8687]

I build a slower more grindier version of this in esper colors. teferi helps protect the combo and draws a bit more cards. shatter the sky is arguably a better sweeper as well.

[@copticvillage]

this deck gets an A+ for flavor

[@zabdielsantiago2237]

Can’t wait until I see you play M21 draft!😍

[@Improperman]

Check his twitch channel, he has done more draft.

[@yoshipopolsku6560]

expensive deck 😆 but cool using underworld dreams my favourite black enchantment 😍

[@bencouch1178]

This deck is super budget. There's 22 commons in it.

[@literallysomedudeliterally9470]

Underworld Dreams is a cool black enchantment, but have you met "Necropotence"? 😍

[@NoFutureForG0uda]

@15:20 you were indeed dead on board with a castle embereth activation

[@jerryjc101]

I included Ob Nixilis in my version of this deck. Helps make it a bit more consistent.

[@ArchbardWava]

These videos have more than convincing me on crafting 4x Mazemind Tome. "2 Mana Scry 4 Gain 4 life" early, "10 Mana Draw 4 Gain 4 late, but 2 Mana at a time". It's even better than Treasure Map on my point of view.

[@Chaoslorden]

I want to build something like this! Looks so fun.

[@Pinguin22]

I like mazemind tome so much

[@jozefkeresturi2139]

Oooooh fancy new splitting the video thing. No need for timestamps anymore.

[@Xylarxcode]

And yet, they're still in the description, lol. But yea, this is nice. A nice little quality of life change that only has upsides.

[@LegenVD]

@@Xylarxcode The timestamps in the description ennable the sections on the timeline.

[@overshare7]

This tomb looks a bit like treasure map, that card did work back then

[@vumasster]

We get Duels all-star Languish once jumpstart comes to historic 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@ActionJeezus]

Boooooo...

[@thepurplepanda4]

Woot!

[@voidwalker8754]

We already have the cards and now we are looking to improve our game

[@Jacob-xw8ll]

This is sweet.

[@tristanschillig3693]

your english is great. mtg not bad either

[@steviethedude3736]

Nice

[@literallysomedudeliterally9470]

So those Treasure Hunt decks were just discard practice for this deck. :)

[@sanpakuis5470]

Currently playing something similar! Playing Nyx Lotus instead of the robot, can win turn 5 with just 4 lands! Currently my favorite deck

[@flyingturtle140]

In game 2 you were dead on board right at the end with castle embereth

[@doormatt72]

how do you get a nice variety of match ups? i just fight ramp to ugin all day. lol.

[@simonsayz5422]

Ugin Ramp or Mono red True

[@MrFabulousb]

Hey! Can u post an updated version with zendikar rising?

[@LegenVD]

This is my current list: 4 Peer into the Abyss (M21) 117 4 Underworld Dreams (THB) 121 4 Solemn Simulacrum (M21) 239 2 Grim Tutor (M21) 103 4 Mazemind Tome (M21) 232 4 Extinction Event (IKO) 88 2 Murderous Rider (ELD) 97 4 Agonizing Remorse (THB) 83 4 Castle Locthwain (ELD) 241 22 Swamp (ANA) 5 4 Bloodchief's Thirst (ZNR) 94 2 Heartless Act (IKO) 91

[@MrFabulousb]

@@LegenVD Wow! thanks for the quick answer, what do u think about adding pelakka predation and hagra mauling and switch out some lands, since they act as lands anyways?

[@LegenVD]

@@MrFabulousb Haven't tried them, but I would avoid playing too many tapped lands, especially with the one mana removal spell in the deck now.

[@santiagosola6144]

i like a couple of disfigure in this list.

[@LegenVD]

Definitely great to have in the 75.

[@creakybeak1252]

I have actually played against this deck, with grim tutors and all, but the rest of the deck was crap. This is not crap.

[@totiasd6712]

i like the combo and the new treasure map but i think it would be better to cut 1 tutor, 1 peer and add more eliminate or cry for bo1

[@maciek19882]

One time, at band camp, I have survived this combo.

[@juddmadden1937]

What would be your version after the rotation?

[@UlfMTG]

In historic would you play Tome over Treasure Map?

[@aIexjung]

Depends on what you want to achieve, the treasure map ramps you while tome gives you 4 life and can draw cards. If tome were to be bounced to your hand you could get value out of it instantly so it is better in my opinion.

[@thenightman9189]

@@aIexjung Map can draw as well. Map also draws 3 compared to 2 from tome. Plus map leaves you with a colourless land after it's used up. But you are right, tome gets value instantly where map is a bit slow. I think map is better if the game goes longer but tome is better early game.

[@UlfMTG]

@@thenightman9189 map ramps as well...

[@ShiivaWilding]

Couldn't you build a version of this using devotion and nyx lotus to peer on turn 5?

[@LegenVD]

Seems a tad inconsistent.

[@ShiivaWilding]

@@LegenVD Do you have any advice for a budget version of this deck then? I have a playset of peer and of underworld dreams, but I'm lacking the majority of the other rares to make it work. Is there a version you would feel confident playing that had a lot more uncommons than rares?

[@Waghabond]

@@ShiivaWilding you could probably build a pretty solid control shell using just black removal spells, and good black cards. a lot of them are at uncommon or common rarity anyway. You could also experiment with an aggro grey merchant shell with this combo slotted in. But that deck wants very few lands in general so it's probably gonna clash with the Mana requirements of this deck. Another option could be to try chromatic black, using all the artifact ramp and chromatic lantern and golos. That deck has a very similar game plan anyway so this combo probably slots in easily.

[@ShiivaWilding]

@@Waghabond I will give your suggestions a go, cheers friend!

[@Wanderingplayerz]

Where or how to get that liliana card back?

[@CodfishJoe]

the animation for Grim Tutor is just a little too reminiscent of Rejected

[@tobbes_ruhrdyne]

Bwaaahahahahaharharh WHAT A FUNNY DECK! Awesome!

[@ArCaNiS23]

maybe add a few one offs like duress if you run 4 grim tutor?

[@LegenVD]

It's an option, but I wouldn't take it too far Still want the cards to be good when we draw them.

[@succulents9543]

What a funny deck lol, I'll definitely give it a try.

[@comichoarder2109]

How did you get those full art lands?

[@JediMasterRevenantMADNESS]

Why not have Erebos' Intervention for removal and life gain?

[@LegenVD]

Definitely an option, although it's inefficient early.

[@JediMasterRevenantMADNESS]

@@LegenVD True, maybe as a two of?

[@taoroalin]

Can't wait to play against this with Discontinuity

[@HonorEggs]

Recurring gag

[@basedbarackobama]

great deck but its more effective as a blue/black deck with teferis tutelage, card draw, teferi, and Teferis ageless insight, and the jace planeswalker. That way you have a second and third wincon: having tutelage out and using Peer on yourself to cause your opponent to mill 2 times half of your deck, or having jace on the field with Teferis Ageless Insight to draw 2 times half of your deck, which is all of it, and winning via Jace. something a lot like this but add the dreams and some mill. aetherhub.com/Deck/Public/308745
