22:44 uh indeed💀💀💀

[@draconocor]

never thought I would hear a Roblox Oof on this channel

[@gabriel128508]

22:44 the roblox OOF got me offguard 💀💀💀

[@demiurge2501]

Awesome! I love using morph/disguise in drafts so it’s great to see it in constructed

[@РодионПелевин-щ6р]

In the third installment, an extremely cool and uncomplicated movie was performed. You almost never make mistakes in the game, that's one of the reasons I adore you.

[@CyberBuster93]

You truly are commited to bringing us the best of the brews you have in your awesome mind, man. This set looks seriously dope and I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us! Disguise is a pretty neat mechanic! Appreciate you tons, Luca!!! 😊

[@07LpCRLp07]

Love seeing your new brews whenever a set comes out!

[@thcdreams654]

Cool deck. Hopefully the new set brings some variety to the constructed formats. Appreciate the quality content on a consistent basis. Thank you.

[@lumi8150]

when i head the oof, i audibly laughed and was shocked. i instantly paused and went to comments to see people felt the same way. GOOD VIDEO!!

[@Xgya2000]

I still own my old Morph deck. Seeing Disguise coming to Standard brings back memories.

[@vl8680]

One of the most interesting mechanics I wanted to see showcased!

[@439801RS]

Literally just morph, upgrade slightly, just find khans of tarkir draft videos if you're interested in how it plays lol

[@seantao4714]

Awesome video! Thanks for releasing something today LVD!

[@erickschusterdeoliveira2662]

that "oof" caught me off guard and literally made me lol

[@duaneshaffer4427]

What a treat! I was hoping we’d get a release day video. Nice work!

Very much to be expected, since he has for the past dozen sets or so 😅

Listening to LVD to Fall Asleep Dreaming about hearing a roblox oof Checking comments and see I'm not the only one haha Love you legend

[@davidbardwell712]

these sound effects XD

[@TheFeintOfHearts]

Nice deck! It's fun to see cool ideas that I wouldn't personally build

[@GrosBoulet]

At 14:00 with "hide in plain sight" you choose 2 instant or sorceries for the codebreaker despite having pulled most of your codebreakers. Instead, you could have choosen kumano and a land, as with Yarok, all permanants are brought back upside if they die, giving you more resilience. Plus I'd be curious to see how a face down kumano looks (just a "normal" face down card ? already transformed ? who knows !) Amazing content as always, keep it up !

[@LegenVD]

Yeah thought about that while editing. We do have more Codebreakers than Yarus, but it does make the decision less clear cut.

[@GrosBoulet]

@@LegenVD in that specific scenario, you had one on the field. If it relied on you drawing one I wouldn't have even commented based on how much of a 50/50 the situation would have been

[@AkodoNoEyes]

This was such a beautiful series of games the watch. Wow.

[@denisskenderovic3707]

The best part of MKM is this neat looking board.

[@Stepshape]

I can hear LVD’s excitement when his combo pieces were in place for activation and execution. 😂

[@Colesonian]

God who knew the Roblox oof would fit so well with high damage, loving the sound effects for a brief moment of comedic relief! Also, do you know if there's any cost reduction for disguise spells? I don't think they count as artifacts, nor do I think there's any standard "cost x less to cast creature" spells out there.

[@Bluecho4]

Anything that reduces the cost of activated abilities might be useful.

[@scipioafricanus2071]

you know tommy tallarico's mom is very proud of him

[@HarverTheSlayer]

@@Bluecho4Actually no, it wouldn't. Turning the creature face-up is a special action, and doesn't count as an activated ability. Basically, it works like foretelling a card from your hand, which is a special action as well. There's Goblin Maskmaker, which reduces the cost of turning creatures face up by 1 when it attacks, but that's pretty much it.

[@Colesonian]

Aw man so training grounds won't be a good addition to any disguise deck? Bummer, thanks for the info @HarverTheSlayer

[@HarverTheSlayer]

@@Colesonian The trick here is to blink the face down creatures. That's how Astral Slide decks were played, decades ago. But it doesn't count as putting them face up, so it would only work for playing expensive creatures on the cheap.

[@RealClassixX]

I wonder about the Mono Red players. Just imagine, you're in this rapidly changing, dynamic format, at the most interesting time of all when a new set comes out, and you're just like "The same thing I've been doing for years please" They confound me, the mono red players.

[@DanyF02]

"Yay a new set just came out! Now's a good time to play my good old mono-red!" -Most of the community.

[@eVuLeX]

not everyone is shoving money down their throat. most people dont want to commit to and early random deck what could be trash compared to later stuff.

[@DanyF02]

@@eVuLeX I can understand that. What I don't understand is how people can keep playing the same brain-dead decks that play themselves forever when they just lazily found them online to begin with. We know those decks work, it says nothing about them as a player. They might as well be rolling a dice and tell themselves"If it's 1 2 3 or 4 I win." if they can't find anything else to win at, since that's obviously all that matters. Or maybe the satisfaction comes from having the unfair advantage of running a proven meta deck to ruin the fun of others who try to be creative with their decks. That's probably what it is seeing how much of those meta decks get played in free-queue. Either way, it's just sad.

[@venger5705]

Here we go !!

[@jcarminatti09]

The sound effect caught me off guard lmao

[@goomshill]

Actually seeing gameplay just kills any thought I have of playing standard again. Kumano, phoenixes, feldons, swiftspears, rages, lightning strike to face, the extremely linear games against mono red with no real decision making or depth or interactivity, just you're on a clock and win or lose your decisions didn't matter and it was mostly on the coin flip of who goes first. And this deck is mostly just a shell around that deck...

[@xGatoDelFuegox]

These decks have more decisions involved than you think

[@XaeroGames]

great deck. it sadly means more aggro red in standard

[@Bluecho4]

At least it's _more interesting_ aggro red.

[@theswagman2138]

Was wondering where the upload was

[@twoshake2211]

When i first started magic it was back with onslaught legion scorge set, this seem so much better than morph, good work

[@the_g8keyper]

At 23:12 you mention Red deck not going anywhere which I agree with, but do you think lightning helix is good enough that Boros Burn comes into standard as a semi-common deck?

[@LegenVD]

The mana for red/white aggro decks is quite poor unless it's full of legendary creatures or humans, at which point you can run Plaza and Cavern. So the extra lifegain from Helix doesn't outweigh the drawbacks of introducing an extra color to monored. One of the reasons monored is so prevalent is that it's quite budget friendly, adding another color requires a bunch more rare dual lands. TL:DR no

[@llongone2]

Yes, Witchstalker Frenzy MUST be in the deck...just for one card. Sheoldred is an auto-loss without it. Every standard deck we build MUST have an answer for that one card. Yet, Sheoldred isn't banned yet...hmmm...why?

[@patrickoneal5066]

I’d be curious to see this in a BO3 setting. What would the sideboard look like?

[@rupert7565]

Some ACU's exploded this video.

[@scipioafricanus2071]

the disguise mechanic is awesome in limited, but it feels too slow for standard. paying three mana for a 2/2 with ward 2 just doesn't do enough

[@83Xen]

I have some questions about the wording on "Hide in Plain Sight" and "Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods". Would it be possible to hide something other than a creature with "Hide in Plain Sight" e.g. an artifact? I suppose yes, but of course only creatures could ever get turned face up. Following this thought, if that faced-down "creature"/artifact dies while Yarus is in play, would it return to the battlefield face down or even get turned up, because the requirement for Yarus' effect is just "if it's a permanent card", which would be true for an artifact?

[@LegenVD]

Should allow you to turn non-creature permanents (like artifacts) face-up that way.

[@alfaayed6262]

If disguised face down card is blinked out (exile and return it to battlefield), is it counts as turned face up?

[@HarverTheSlayer]

Eeyup, that would work. When a face down permanent is moved to any other zone, it must be revealed. And since it being face down is a status, it loses that status and will reenter the battlefield face up. That's how Astral Slide decks were played decades ago.

[@LegenVD]

It will enter face up, however it won't trigger abilities that care about things being turned face up.

[@kobold8476]

Was that first opponent purposely blocking the facedowns that you moused over?

[@luogocomune4325]

oh yeah!

[@kensw87]

heh, disguised toast.

I’m not impressed with this set of cards . I believe I’m only going to buy singles for my cardboard.

[@rodrimaux1128]

Yeah i don't feel very excited either. Most don't feel very unique or interesting and the set doesn't feel very Ravnicaesque
