Nice video! Featured your deck on the aetherhub website. If you want Content Creator Status on the site let me know and I will add it to your profile! Gives you the ability to embed videos and gives your decks more visibility.

[@raulpacheco7488]

Dude, the fact that you start by giving direct upgrades, with the cards in the starter decks, is fact pretty much everyone will be grateful with. Seriously, I can thank you enough!

[@LegenVD]

@@andreliverod Appreciate it, would love to have the embed option!

[@andreliverod]

Fixed it! :)

[@sandysontv1333]

Love the upgrade videos! Do Auras of Majesty next. You are almost done all the precon decks.

[@catherinebaker6384]

This series is very good and quite entertaining. I just wanted to let you know this is the reason I subscribed.

[@lucasbeer]

These videos are so great for a starting player like me! I love how you make the upgrades step by step, explaining what you do and why, and making it possible for absolute starters to upgrade a little bit at a time as they grow their collection. Keep up the good work. Sub from me.

[@jakedavenport8766]

You have very quickly become my favourite MTG content creator. I just started out and your videos are super useful, thank you :)

[@Shnugs]

I just wanna say, this is the most valuable series you do. Though I love all of your videos. Keep it up, LVD!

[@mplacona3]

These upgrade videos are awesome! Thank you so much for doing those!

[@kevink6265]

Loving the content. I have been playing magic casually for years but I really appreciate all the insight / thought process you provide. It helps me understand the game so much better. A+ content. You get a sub from me.

[@LegenVD]

Enjoy your stay!

[@murpesx]

Thanks for this. Your videos like this are really helpful, educational, and fun to watch.

[@TheMastaDazza]

I'm am loving these vids right now. Thank you for the great content you are doing! I've been playing magic for 6 years but was a bit unsure about MTGO as for the last 3 years I've only been playing modern really. I decided to give it a go and really liked the Eternal Thirst deck but wanted some help upgrading it. I saw your video on it 2 days ago and made the upgrades. I played 15 games with it today and won every one of them. This looks like a very similar fun deck too so I'll probably uograde this next

[@LegenVD]

Awesome, glad to hear!

[@lukecheung5777]

The effort put in the video is big.

[@alexandervandeneijnden7207]

Nice touch on the Braveheart-reference!

[@Storm-xr7lp]

Nice Video Legend! First time watching one of your constructed video (I'm usually a fan of your limited content) but I'm hooked! I didn't have the Rare and Uncommon Wildcards required so I just put together an ugly jank from the cards I had, ending up with only 4 rares. Maybe it's the rare bracket the game is putting me in, but this deck is definitely performing nicely (5-0 right now). Here's my list if anyone wants some ideas to jank up their deck too! 1 Clifftop Retreat (DAR) 239 4 Goblin Instigator (M19) 142 2 Martyr of Dusk (RIX) 14 3 Heroic Reinforcements (M19) 217 2 Stone Quarry (M19) 256 4 Hunted Witness (GRN) 15 3 Conclave Tribunal (GRN) 6 3 Trumpet Blast (M19) 165 1 Adanto Vanguard (XLN) 1 1 Skymarcher Aspirant (RIX) 21 4 Healer's Hawk (GRN) 14 4 Haazda Marshal (GRN) 13 1 Legion Warboss (GRN) 109 3 Tajic, Legion's Edge (GRN) 204 1 Sacred Foundry (GRN) 254 2 Boros Guildgate (GRN) 244 11 Plains (RIX) 192 6 Mountain (RIX) 195 1 Sunhome Stalwart (GRN) 26 1 Boros Challenger (GRN) 156 2 Demotion (GRN) 9

[@impossibroo]

Your videos are really helpful for MTG-Arena beginners, thanks mate :)

[@kaziayman5744]

could you upgrade Auras of Majesty?

[@mortivoe]

he will do all of them

[@Ghost-Mom]

He will but he also said we can suggest which one we want to see next in the comments. So I second auras of majesty. I'm curious what his direction of that deck would be, if it would drop the auras theme entirely in favor of a selesnya tokens theme or something else. One of my favorite selesnya cards right now is Conclave Cavalier and it'd be cool to see it be used but it'd depend on the direction he goes.

[@gibbage1]

Really good deck in the Arena singleton meta as nobody plays sweepers in the main right now. Top tier for sure.

[@paulroys5019]

Great video! Question for you (and everyone reading this): I haven't spent any wildcards on this deck yet. I've got a couple Tajics, and a couple Aurelia's. Right now those guys are basically replacing Mentor of the Meek and the Buglers. I'm wondering if that's the right move. I like how the legends mentor and how they contribute in combat as soon as you send them in there, but I don't know if it's worse giving up the card draw. Also I have a Venerated Luxodon that I'm thinking of putting in there.

[@LegenVD]

I personally like the synergy between Bugler and Aurelia, but it depends how many other creature you can find with it.

[@paulroys5019]

@@LegenVD Thanks!

[@spiritofthewolf1880]

Love this series! Keep up the great content, LegenVD!

[@Lucid__-wi1uv]

Nice little edit on the Heroic Reinforcements with the reference to Braveheart at the end!

[@Ghost-Mom]

Hey Legend. Great upgrade video as always. I always appreciate the time you put in to deliver us a quality gradual upgrade guide. I am curious if after you create guides for all the precons you have, will you consider making a guide for the newer precon? (I think it's called wing and claw) They recently replaced the white blue artifact theme precon, so older arena players will have that version but players new to the game will have the wing and claw version. It'd be annoying for you since you'd have to make sure you have all the cards from the pre-con deck list just to be able to show case it as older users wont have it, but it's still something that would be cool to see eventually for the newer players, perhaps once you've finished showcasing the other pre-cons. Thank you for everything you do.

[@LegenVD]

Thanks! I'll probably cover the newer version of that deck.

[@Irunzedh]

@@LegenVD Also having a hard time upgrading Wing and Claw... well to be honest if it was not for the fact I´m only really investing my wildcards on meta decks, haha, but yeah, wing and claw is the one I'm having most trouble upgrading with leftover wildcards and card rewards. Hope you'll get a chance to make a video for that deck.

[@Kevfactor]

im just a newb with beginner stuff. with merlocks and life white always owning me, i ended up jsut having 2 novas and a wreckage in the deck and went for the late game :)

[@margrab1]

whenever i see a time stamp to the beginning of match i give a like

[@zenotoff]

"Freeedom!" Great endline!

[@Shadowhuntazz]

Nice weenie whites deck guide ! =)

[@AniGaAG]

Considering what I've learned so far (mainly from you), I built a deck with the same theme, but tinkered around more and tried to improve it. It's not complete yet, but so far I haven't lost a single game with it! Would _love_ to hear your opinion. Current Build: aetherhub.com/Deck/Public/66838 Planned Final Build: aetherhub.com/Deck/Public/66839

[@WoWdreamWoW]

LegenVD is there any chance in the future you'll direct challenge other KZbin Magic players?

[@LegenVD]

I'm not against it :)

[@YtseJuan]

Wow, this is an incredible deck. Do you think you will be updating it again with any Ravnica Allegiance cards?

[@TheGreenLightningMRT]

What happened to changing the land art, the most important part?

[@danielhodgins_official]

Deck already had the good art.

[@marcelopiccoli1446]

Awsome vid as awlays man. My favorite MTG youtuber! ps: lol on ''freedommmm''

[@Gagneto]

Boros is buuuusteeed good deck, though this version is the one that I like the least I think, either angels or the one with the pridemates and leonins

[@ST1mAPB]

Angels is a bit heavier, having nice pack of mythics.

[@avijeu3]

I love playing my 4 Chainwhirlers against this deck

[@JediMasterRevenantMADNESS]

G/W Auras or U/W Artifacts next please.

[@Demassing]

Thank you for these videos! Will you do the Wing and Claw soon? :D

[@RageKing0]

Wrath of Mages next I like the deck just feel it needs a lot of work.

[@matthewedon]

I just wanna see some Goblin tribal!

[@holybretzel687]

That Braveheart reference tho...

[@notevenbefore]

How about no rare WC decks? I think that's an interesting deck-building challenge, and that type of deck is the only that really can be called "budget" in Arena.

[@kashiffarees881]

I really don't think instigator and warboss are worth missing out on benalish marshall.

[@Ghost-Mom]

three white mana can make it inconsistent. But I agree that warboss rarely gets value due to being a removal magnet. I'd probably opt for a different 3 drop. Skynight legionaire wouldn't be a bad choice due to flying and haste. Would also add a blocker in the air for those pesky healers hawks and blue fliers from mono blue.

[@kashiffarees881]

@@Ghost-Mom What I was saying is that you shouldn't be running any non-white sources. Just keep the 2 dual lands for reinforcements and the sideboard stuff.

[@ravennevermore8173]

Warboss can quickly get out of hand if you don't have removal.

[@holybretzel687]

@@kashiffarees881 As he said he tried so stick to the theme of the deck wich is "Strengh in numbers" :p

[@8puccia]

ould you upgrade Ral starter deck?

[@Riccardopelle98]

do the red blue deck upgrade please :D

[@filippoconti7877]

Mh, I'd put some Venerated Loxodon in a go wide deck!

[@Ghost-Mom]

expensive. The goal is to win by the time you have the mana to even cast something like that, even with the convoke. You're looking to win by turn 5 with a deck like this.

[@filippoconti7877]

@@Ghost-Mom Yup, makes sense.

[@aldurthedrowshade]

how does this work vs mono blue right now?

[@LegenVD]

It will be a pretty close matchup, you have to hope to resolve your high impact spells, like History, Reinforcements and Pride to pull ahead.

[@slintirreg]

I can't even find legion's landing to craft it xD

Make sure the "not collected" filter is unchecked.
