Ramos, Dragon Engine - Historic Brawl - MTG Arena

[@aeolus7762]

Ramos still to this day is my favorite 5 Color commander to play. He's just so much fun and you can build him as pretty much any deck you want!

[@davidk3849]

It's been 2 months since this video dropped. I remember first watching then wanting to build Ramos for casual commander. I had so much fun with this guy that I kept buying more and more cards for him. Now Ramos is holding his own and performing good at the cEDH nights in town and winning money. It's genuinely my favourite commander, and this video is to thank for the introduction.

[@0CheeseEgg0]

Up against you again LVD! lmao. Yeah, I was definitely not counting on a hasty flyer out of nowhere. Wish I had held a spider back, but there was no way I'd have seen that one coming! ggs!

[@se7enhitman]

The sequence of play in match 4 starting 28:40 was so insane. Love the synergy and the decklist, keep up the great work LegenVd!

[@assasainbpc]

This deck is amazing! I'm having an absolute blast playing this. There are so many answers to so many situations and most of my games have been very good quality. It's definitely led to some really intense back and forths. Definitely recommend crafting this if you are on the fence about spending your wildcards.

[@LegenVD]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@nickbarnhart5811]

Anytime you’re playing legen and you hear him say, “well that was a turn.” You’re already dead

[@dcrow9650]

I'm struggling to make a Historic Brawl using Ramos. Thank you for the video. Thanks for the decklist.

[@JRandall0308]

Game 1: "I'll just casually board wipe their one creature because next turn I'm going to cast 600 spells, why not?" 😀This deck is brutally fun.

[@Sammyagem]

Awesome video as always! that black xander's deck also look quite interesting!! maybe you could make your take on it! 😁

[@Breakbeat.]

I thought that looked pretty neat too.

[@CyberBuster93]

I have a Ramos EDH deck, and I can tell you right now, he's an INSANE 5 color commander! Awesome job with this deck Luca!

[@v3rtigo_]

Finally built this deck after 2 months of stockpiling wildcards, added Atraxa, Glissa, and the new Sword as well as the new fast dual lands from ONE. Most fun I’ve had in brawl, have an answer to basically anything the opponent can do somewhere in the deck.

[@FilmColossus]

Do you have a link to your list?

[@r00k917]

That hasty Ramos was an amazing game. ooff!

[@terraproxy4097]

Thank you very much for your marvelous gameplay, master LegenVD.

[@SpeakerWiggin49]

Ah, the Swiss pocket knife commander/brawl deck. This was fun to watch.

Fun deck! I rarely play brawl, but I gave this deck a few games. Even won with the Door to Nothingness!

[@rabidcabbage7230]

WOOOOOOWWW!!!! MESSSSIII! I get to come back to a LegenVD video as well!

[@rabidcabbage7230]

[@m4p0]

5 color decks in a 1v1 singleton format are just stupidly overpowered, even only for the amount of cards they have access to. I dream about the day they'll introduce proper commander, but I know it will probably never happen

[@Legov7]

Loved this deck! Great video.

[@thcdreams654]

Fun deck and great set of games. Quality content as usual. Thanks.

[@HellionSol]

sick deck list LVD you the goat

[@pyresnick1419]

Incredibly fuck looking deck. I'm gonna have to dedicate plenty of wildcards to this one, but I'll be glad to. Missing about 20 cards 😢

[@Dreadnote-pf7of]

Uhh... *What* looking deck? :D

[@pyresnick1419]

@@Dreadnote-pf7of Fun, I meant fun lmfao 💀

[@anannoyedpanda]

Oh my. This looks fun.

[@FromAgonyToLight]

That was truly a unique deck

[@DominusMain]

hey legenVD Im new to the game about three weeks brand new player of magic and ive saved up quite a bit of wildcards and trying to figure out what meta deck i should build to play ranked with. Im plat with the mono red and i was thinking of building the dimir draw two deck you created. Would you still say thats a viable deck i should go for?

[@LegenVD]

Soldiers is the best performing archetype in best of one at the moment. Plenty of variants exist, but Shield of Argive turned out to be good enough to include.

[@eli.8169]

Vorinclex would be a perfect addition to the deck

[@bobby_tablez]

And hardened scales

[@rde1986]

Oh shit it’s Sunday and there’s a video!! Booooom !!!!!

[@Dreadnote-pf7of]

I get that you could build Ramos in many different ways and therr is a possible way to focus more on "+1/+1" part and use other methods that gave +1/+1 counters and this deck is not about it. But... Is it still a bad idea to include Hardened Scales? For just a one G (and a card, ofc) you then get +1 counters from every cast, speeding up the process of accumulating counters. Vorinclex from Kaldheim is probably too heavy... But maybe? Double counters are neat and you could lock up enemy sagas and damage their planeswalkers (and buffing a couple of yours Bolases). So IDK... Are you tried to fit HS there or for some reason you just cut it off just because it mono-color (or couldn't find a slot for it?)

[@scholarofthelosttrove]

Legend, would you ever consider doing Cube draft?

[@LegenVD]

I've done a few in the past!

[@scholarofthelosttrove]

@@LegenVD oh yeah, I forgot about that. Those were some great vids, love to watch you draft.

[@rabidcabbage7230]

wouldnt eerie ultimatum be good in the deck? or is there not enough permanents

[@LegenVD]

The deck is indeed a little light on creatures.

[@ImpulseMTG]

Any deck with that many multi color cards NEEDS Widespread Thieving. Color fixing, ramp AND a free spell that could be a bomb. Widespread Thieving has made me a big believer.

[@LegenVD]

Definitely considered it!

[@dl2one]

Fun deck confirmed

I can't count the number of times I've almost clicked the Apply Styles button on his screen lol

[@digitwice5702]

Fourth. Also, always nice to see the consistent uploads man. Good job. Love the channel.

[@kuloushe987]

Now that the Wastes basic lands have been added, what kind of decks would you be able to play, I wonder?

[@LegenVD]

They have to fix them for Historic Brawl, although outside of replacing some other Basic lands they're mostly nice for players wanting to play a colorless commander without spending a lot of wildcards on random lands and still get the most out of Forsaken Monument.

[@asimovvomisa4040]

Not ideal but i had some fun with Historic Brawl Golos and artifact(creature)s. Wastes kept on alternating between 2-3 and 38-39 frustrating to complete the deck when it switches between 62 and 101. Somehow worked after saving deck once and adjusting to 40 wastes in the saved non viable deck.

[@activityenjoyer]

moonveil regent seems like it'd be nice here, unless your hand stays too stocked

[@le_gus001]

I don't really understand escape into the wild in this deck because the probability is rather high, that you can cast only one of the exiled cards. What do I miss?

[@LegenVD]

Usually wait to cast it until you have more mana available.

[@v3rtigo_]

Escape into the Wild has saved me at least twice with this deck, the double land drop ability when you’re mana locked alone is worth it to me

[@ericgee6114]

I'd be rocking niv for so long but I think Ramos is gonna be my new 5 colored dragon commander. Always gonna be sad cuz niv was legit and I can't ever go golos since golos+field was a nightmare but Ramos too strong not to play

[@ryanbolson23]

52:28 how could they survive? They can’t block flying Ramos?

[@LegenVD]

Gain life with Blood Artist before damage.

This deck is bananas

[@jdkemsley7628]

So many players use Black Market Connections ultra aggressively, leaving themselves dead to a stiff breeze. I knew opponent was dead the instant they played it xD

[@TheWorldsStage]

This deck is for the rich folk. Every card is a rare or mythic rare

[@scholarofthelosttrove]

Hell yeah brother

[@AWOL97]

I’m more confused by the variety of decks you run into. I okay historic brawl and legit run into the same like 3-4ish decks all the time. Every deck you played in the video I’ve never seen anyone run. Wish I had tan into that sort of variety. It gets dull with people running the same Dimir/Control BS or Whatever other control decks people wanna run.

[@MrHat.]

For me, I always run into either Shrine decks, or Sliver decks. Rarely anything else

[@AWOL97]

@@MrHat. Same. Shrine decks, sometimes Sliver, or Blue/Black. I never see much variety.

[@JRandall0308]

Bear in mind LVD only shows us the interesting / KZbin-worthy matches. In other words, LVD suffers through those boring matchups so *we* don't have to watch them.

[@asimovvomisa4040]

Most people i see play Jodah and Sheoldred.

[@ryanbolson23]

It is based on who your commander is for arena, they have a system in place that sets certain powerful commanders to queue only with the powerful commanders. Which is stupid because I would like to see all decks that are in queue. Quit hand holding and let’s play real magic WOTC.

[@maciek19882]

@@LegenVD i know :)) been watching for a long time haha - i just think that your thought-process in those videoes were so amazing to listen to💯

[@cynicaljoe7588]

I definitely think the opponent in match 5 deserved to lose. He got overly greedy putting himself at 3 health against a deck with red spells and a 4/4 commander. there's a lot of ways that could go wrong and it did

[@0CheeseEgg0]

To be fair, I have a fair bit of life gain in the deck, and in fact had a blood artist in hand that I was going to go off with the very next turn. Sadly, I didn't see a hasty flyer out of nowhere coming lol

[@cynicaljoe7588]

@@0CheeseEgg0 still a huge gamble, a simple lightning strike would have killed you

[@0CheeseEgg0]

@@cynicaljoe7588 I've played against this commander many times, and they run very little burn if any, so I took the gamble. I was also hoping to find more life gain by that point, but by time I found it, it was a little late. Sometimes it's worth taking the risk to keep the card advantage going.

[@0CheeseEgg0]

@@cynicaljoe7588 Something else to consider is, against that deck, mine doesn't fair nearly as well in the late game, where he has loads of expensive spells, and my best bet is typically to try and get as much of an explosive start as I can. Had I been on the play, I might have still won that game

[@Silverhand264]

Not shown: The dozens of games where the opponent does nothing but counter and kill Ramos. I swear I've never met a more removal happy set of players than the MTGArena Historic Brawl queue. Its infuriating...

[@santiproductions9318]

you’re playing a competitive commander. expect interaction and play around it or try a lower power level deck if you want to “do the thing”.

[@LegenVD]

The deck has enough other things to do with its mana that it can easily win without Ramos. Sometimes you're happy if they focus on it, especially when you have a lot of ramp to recast it or play other big spells. Although when it survives you can get some spectacular turns, which is more entertaining to watch.

[@UlfMTG]

I love you LVD, but there's nothing I hate more in brawl than 5c commanders that are literally just a deck full of removal spells. Why can't 5c decks do literally anything else? At least Esika plays some bombs...
