Specialist Party - New Capenna Standard - Diamond Ranked - MTG Arena

[@joesullivan7940]

Really like your playful elements in the editing, great stuff

[@leighswank117]

the calculations meme got a solid giggle

[@Xsasan2001]

Yeah, also the background with Blood on the snow and Meathook... And then Opponent plays Spider Queen 😂

[@emildegas4213]

THe funny thig is that he never goes over the top with that stuff, hope more youtubes realized this instead of screaming or putting a bunch of loud stupid memes together

[@mladjo2505]

Love the confused math is for blockers, and massacre/blood on the snow animations, nailed it. Beautiful!

[@antagonist7]

The math equations is funny

[@kurtsydnerism1128]

man...that is one, moment where you enjoy watching someone roping someone .lol

[@Lyra]

The edits in this video feel like a subtle LVD wink and it made me smile. I don't know if it took you significantly more time to do, but I wouldn't mind more stuff like that in the future :')

[@enbyrogue3740]

You watch MTG content? This feels like a crossover episode lmao. Loving your living dex/mechanics videos!

[@orangedrew198]

The zoom out on Blood on the Snow and Meathook had me laughing so hard 😂

[@marcorodrigoramos]

18:19 that was actually funny xd

[@JohnSmith-uc9ge]

The editing is getting quite funny It makes him stand out from the other magic the gathering creators

[@somefishhere]

The speed run clock was great and the sweeper bit

[@matanamir4359]

7:34 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You are genius !!!!

[@Babyluigikarting]

The end to the first game was hilarious, I love your edits !

[@davestier6247]

The understated humor of this dude cannot be overstated. "Opponent falls to zero, probably should've blocked."

[@dreimann]

Faceless Haven was always the life of the party; shall be missed.

[@jonathantl7553]

lol you're must be joking. Faceless Haven was the biggest zombie in my aggro zombies

[@sobrique8883]

@@jonathantl7553 nah, can't be. It was the best goblin in my goblins deck!

[@Colorado0091]

I love your subtle editing. The zoom out for both swipes, or the calculation of the person just taking lethal are some good jokes ;) .

[@CyberBuster93]

The slow pan out of Blood on the Snow AND Meathook Massacre LMAO xD

[@spacekrill]

Specialist is honestly a really good and interesting card, but that weird art triggers my fight or flight every time.

[@fouroakfarm]

Its so bizarre. Held person has proportions of a child but I see a face of an adult

[@thatguydennis2]

Like a creepy Mini Me. Needed to draw two people but only one model showed up?

[@fez284]

It almost looks like they took the specialist's face,copied the art over to the child's face, and barely edited it to look a little different.

[@aldrinvendt8524]

Loved the editing and "so...they probably should have blocked" at 7:35!

[@zjorritte1634]

The editing of this one is amazing; funny and subtle. Thanks for all your vids LVD!

[@LegenVD]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ivschgn]

Just became a patreon! Already enjoying your content for a while. You earn it especially with the amount of videos you upload. Keep up the good work!

[@LegenVD]

Thank you!

[@skear0073]

Just in case someone like me was curious about the equations at 7:40 (in no particular order): d’Alembert’s principle (as a PDE), Euler’s Law, property of logarithms, Pythagorean theorem, Navier-Stokes equation, gravitational force equation, definition of a limit, normal distribution equation, Black-Scholes equation, and Laplace transform. Great video as always!

[@JRandall0308]

This is the quality annotation I expect from an LVD subscriber!

[@Legsman258]

Love the playful edits in this one

[@sundowneyes]

Love the edits on this one !!

[@angelogabriel6862]

Never thought parties could be this efficient. Great work, keep it up!

[@superduper853]

haha the equations got me good

[@germanbrandeburgo5925]

Is squad commander's special ability the ability to make defending player unable to count blockers properly?

[@Bluecho4]

"Math is for blockers. And man, am I bad at Math."

[@groynin]

The damage I took was calculated, but man, I'm bad at math.

[@nicolasmorazotti8684]

7:41 That moment you're familiar with all those equations Great video as always

[@butdoesitscrub3457]

Lol loved the fade away for meathook or blood in the snow lol

[@abcdefghijkl5408]

Absolutely superb editing......creativity + execution = top notch

[@nitiratp]

Your editing is superb, as always.

[@LegenVD]

Thank you so much 😀

[@theK594]

A lot of fan service, thx:) I wonder about the choice of equations, I would not be surprised if LVD studied math:)!

[@ironyrules5164]

That math meme was brutal. If i were that opponent, i would reconsider going to school again instead of playing mtg. Great Video as usual

[@Hylia22]

the edits are just getting better and better. Legenvd you really have good taste, love all your uploads

[@Dexterity_Jones]

Even though it was never terribly impactful to the game as a whole, I personally really liked the party mechanic

[@njnjhjh8918]

cool concept; really great way to put together cards that didn't see a lot of play

[@matheusrigobelo9583]

damn, the hook and the blood on the snow in the background made me laught more than it should.

[@P3rvenc]

The editing on this video is gold material XD

[@Fimbul_Crafts]

Great editing mate 😄👌🏼

[@joggingmanc5383]

I love this deck. Thanks again LVD

[@thebfunk5228]

Opponent falls to zero! Lol, that can happen when you missed a couple of calculus classes

[@BreakfastsAtNoon]

I was just thinking today that its such a shame we didnt get mich anything out of the party mechanic! Im very excited to give this deck a shot

[@joshuakruger4851]

This was the first thing I thought about when I saw attendant and specialist. I didn't even realize informant was a wizard!

[@lynxmg1758]

Love the deck and the new video edits!

[@talamran7499]

Since party made me get into standard for the first time and I never got to play it I already like your idea

[@PHthaKING]

That math animation was cool AF

[@dbvel9315]

hey, I'm very happy to see you on diamond!

[@SacredMagic13679]

7:30 The opponent had a Rain Man moment. DEFINITELY 16 DAMAGE DEFINITELY 16 DAMAGE EXACTLY 16 DAMAGE SHOULD BLOCK SHOULD BLOCK CAN'T BLOCK.

[@masterkrist5017]

Some more new capenna? I’ll take it! How can you come make so many bangers?!!

[@caneblu7625]

he is so good

[@wimfranken826]

He doesn't waste energy on being salty etc. 🤔

[@KiuhKobold]

A wild guess: have you been hanging with the guy from Brewer's Kitchen on MTG goldfish? Cuz damn, your editing is on point XD always a good laugh

[@sandromorio5243]

Nice visual effects

[@Bluecho4]

Rather appropriate that Parties would make a resurgence during the set that emulates the Roaring 20s.

[@androssandross7410]

Yes, I love the party mechanic but I could never make a good deck without Trapfinder, thanks for this will definitely play this deck

[@LegenVD]

Have fun!

[@stfletch]

The addition of Mage's Attendant means you don't need to run green to fill out your party I've found. I've actually made a passable mono-white party deck but blue -white with trapfinder and concerted defense works best for me so far. I might try splashing black for coveted prize too.

[@LegenVD]

@@stfletch I liked green for the acceleration that Sentinel provides and the Elf at two mana. Although Rogues are easier to find in White now, so there are a lot of possibilities.

[@fiachhoffman9590]

please keep up the meme editing! your humor is great!!

[@oathkeeper2177]

I lossed my shit when Lilith came onto the field after expecting a field wipe lmao

[@razaele5495]

People really doesn't know how to calculate the incoming damage... I've seen just half the vid and at least 2 opponents left something unblocked and died... Awesome edition effects, by the way, subtle and hilarious :D

[@CopieRightGaming]

Hahahah... Luca, why are you doing this!? First Jund Ob Nix now Party! 😁 every time I make a video on a cool and unique deck You bring something similar 😅 can't You do like all other big creators and make decks based on Trends 😋 joking of course! I love your brews and You are a big inspiration for many of us! Thank You!

[@edkolbe1850]

This deck seems like it could use a one of Jetmir. You can cast it off of your tutor and would win the game on the spot if in a board stall.

[@CMHjunk]

Math is definitely not for Runes players...

[@Fullmetal85]

While everyone plays checkers, LegenVD plays chess 😂

[@christianboehmer8094]

Squad Commander ist so powerful 👌👌👌😍

[@SandstormGT]

Game 1 math equations flooding the screen made me giggle uncontrollably.

[@gamingking1]

Nice editing

[@LegenVD]

Thanks

[@ThomasL.116]

Hey Legend, did you consider playing these Standard events? I think you get five matches (at least bo3) and i find it a good format!

[@LegenVD]

I've heard the EV isn't all that great.

[@nothing4mepls973]

That's why they call them minutemen. Ready at a minute's notice!

[@damianvc31]

Always cool to come back to party I guess Sentinel is just too good to change for a warrior or a wizard, but deck seems to have too many rogues now

[@FrostedBagel]

Any particular reason to not use Journey to Oblivion in this deck? I know it’s kinda hard to run noncreatures in a party deck, but maybe as a 2 of? The problem of course comes with what to cut, but it would be nice to have something to deal with problematic creatures, it works especially well against Brutal Cathar

[@LegenVD]

Started with a few removal spells (Journey and Alliance) but eventually had to cut them. As you said it's tough to include non-creatures unless they draw more cards, which is a reason to play some Blue.

[@FrostedBagel]

@@LegenVD ended up cutting a Luminarch Aspirant and an Extraction Specialist to include it, I was running into too many decks that ran brutal cathar or some other large threat that needed answering before the party was assembled, and definitely helped there, Extraction Specialist seemed a bit clunky, as there is so much exile based removal in the set that I felt as if I never had anything to reanimate. if anything, a one of (Journey) is really useful in combination with coveted prize, being able to tutor it in emergency situations.

[@JohnSmith-uc9ge]

That first game lmao

[@CyberBuster93]

I feel like such a fucking nerd that I knew most of those equations that were popping up 😂

[@elnatanbitensky8314]

I'm trying to make Azorius/Bant party to work. Seems I've been looking in the wrong direction, but I can't resist spoils of adventure and malevolent hermit to have some better chances to rebuild and not immediately fold to a boardwipe.

[@blakesvehlakbryanrogeres3242]

the mage attendant is basically a hermit with two party keywords, it is the most broken card for the party mechanic at the moment, the changelings are just so good when you have a changeling and saga in hand

can you please revisit the bard deck the update with the new deck looks spicy

[@dominikwusa3570]

The math, i Love it

[@wirelessbaguette8997]

15:04 wacky game! I think you actually still had the ability to sack both of your wizard tokens to counter the Emperor, since you'd be left with 8 2+ power attackers to the opponents 6 blockers. It ended up not mattering in the end, since they were dead no matter what as you noted. Unrelated, I've heard rogues finally has a chance to shine again in Explorer after dominating standard for so long and then just disappearing entirely. Is there any patreon love for Exploring Rogues?

[@LawrieAndCo]

Almost but not quite, saccing the wizard token costs (1) to activate and he only had one untapped mana source.

[@wirelessbaguette8997]

@@LawrieAndCo Ah I missed that it costs mana to sac it

[@deathbybob]

I use -x/-x effects to get past indestructible, on match 3, if s/he had used the two -1/-1 killing two of the party instead of creating a treasure tokens the game could have played out very differently.

[@IHazMagics]

Pour one out for Waldo. Some say he's still tilting today

[@gustavoladeira8566]

math is for blockers 😁

[@andreadepolli4322]

7:42 The risk i took was calculated, but man, am i bad at math

[@dontaccoll]

"yea let me block just enough creatures so i go exactly to 0 life with a serviceable champblocker available but not actually blocking"

[@fez284]

(Love your content 💜) At 7:58 you draw TWO double cards. That's a very low chance. Immediately after when you mulligan, you draw two double cards AGAIN. Something is *seriously* wrong with MTGA shuffler. I notice it gets extremely clunky when playing anything above two color. I'm getting very tired of having to constantly mulligan decks that shouldn't be having any issues like that.

[@rayzeckz4573]

Pack beast is not good in the deck?

[@LegenVD]

I’ve played it before in party decks, although the 2-mana Changelings are usually a little better.

[@karl8232]

completely forgot party was still a mechanic in standard

[@aardv_ark]

I like to skip the deck tech and go straight to game 1 and be surprised by the combo when/if it happens

[@Candy-yh2qq]

Ngl everytime i see a party deck i feel like the payoffs are so underpowered that the ungodly effort of creating a full party is just useless. Definitely needs more support

[@AshtonTheMelon]

It's almost like the DnD set could have actually done something for it rather than a bunch of d20 bull crap

Knowing which hands to mulligan is a big part of learning the deck. Dodging sweepers also helps.
