THIS DECK IS STRONG...IF YOU'RE GOOD! Legacy Lands (RG Life from the Loam- Legacy MTG)

[@noahshanning7014]

As a lands player I’m pumped to see you and Brian play this deck in the same week

[@Swnkmstr]

just a couple of days ago BoshNRoll has a lands video and then the ThrabenU follow up? What an exciting time to be a lands lover.

[@LucksackGames]

Ikr! My favorite deck to play as well. We are a tight knit bench for sure!

[@MrJ03K3rR]

Sometimes watching Phil play is like watching a musician, or a surgeon. Other times, like in game 3 round 3, it's like watching a butcher while he ruthlessly attacks their manabase

[@MrJ03K3rR]

And all of round 4

[@LucksackGames]

As a lands player I appreciate the content haha

[@LucasTheDrgn]

For a quick second in round three I saw the tendrils and storm count 19 and thought "wait is that enough to kill?" And then remembered tendrils is not grapeshot and 19 is absolutely enough to kill

[@XxNavocxX]

You talked me into lands with the videos about a year ago. Now I’ve finally got all the cards and having a blast. Dropped marit first turn a cpl days ago! Love the content dude! You and Bosh are the best mtg KZbinrs!

[@ThrabenUniversity]

Happy to hear that you're enjoying the format!

[@DKforever24]

You can also have Thespian's Stage copy Urza's Saga, then on the third turn, copy a different land and still be able to make construct tokens for every turn afterwards because of layer shenanigans.

[@Mentir42]

Nothing to do with layers I believe, it’s just not a saga anymore, so it doesn’t die to having 3 lore counters. But yes, very cute interaction :)

[@DKforever24]

@@Mentir42 Actually, it is a layers interaction. The Lore counters and the abilities that Urza's Saga gives Thespian's Stage is on layer 6, while Thespian's Stages own copy ability is on layer 4, which is why Stage can continue to make construct tokens even after copying a different land after it was a copy of Saga.

[@Mentir42]

@@DKforever24 I see what you mean, never mind, that is indeed layer shenanigans. I apologize :)

[@radiomars3354]

Fun list! Lands seems to be on the rise again.

[@JohnFromAccounting]

Lands is the kind of deck where you can win any matchup. A big part of Magic is playing to your outs, and Lands has a lot of them. One of the most fun decks across all formats.

[@magusofthebargain]

wow! beautiful art by Jana Schirmer & Johannes Voss!! Your logo looks dope!

[@SgfAlex]

Yay! More lands content! This deck never gets enough content!

[@joshuafornelli8673]

Very cool, Unknown Artist. You made Phil's day!

[@Fogshaper]

That Game 3 against the Epic Storm was a crazy combeack by TES. Sucks that you lost, but great game.

[@nightfox6738]

This gave me an interesting idea. If you could build a deck around Blood Moon - Dark Depths interaction... 1. Play Blood moon 2. Play Dark Depths (comes into play with no counters because blood moon has removed its abilities) 3. Destroy or bounce blood moon somehow - State-based affect of dark depths gives you an instant marit lage You could combine this with other such instant marit lage combos like vampire hexmage / thespian stage / etc. This concept could be really good in a red/black control shell.

[@ThrabenUniversity]

I've tried it. It's not as consistent as you would think it would be, unfortunately.

[@nightfox6738]

@@ThrabenUniversity Aww, that's disappointing :(

hey that's my list! I definitely for challenges as you note at the end (hence no spheres since challenges are more fair). Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ThrabenUniversity]

Lands is always a treat to play. It's a mental workout, even for an experienced Legacy pilot, but I love it.

[@adventurewithdanny]

Good call on changing the title

[@markcioffi8903]

I love your content but I'm not a fan of the 1 by 1 card reveal of the decklist at the beginning. Its just longer than I have to skip to see the deck and then games.

[@alexanderglasgo8163]

I reckon that, as a legacy creator, you have to balance catering toward enfranchised legacy players and those new to legacy. The new format falls into the latter camp

[@markcioffi8903]

@@alexanderglasgo8163 fair enough just wanted to make my opinion known as a seasoned mtg player that consumes this content daily

[@LucksackGames]

@@alexanderglasgo8163 can confirm I've recently started making content again and I got chewed out for not doing a deck tech even though I'm definitely one that skips it every video.

[@LucksackGames]

And I'm not salty about that. I appreciate the input, didn't realize how valuable it was.

[@realperson69]

@@LucksackGamesI think maybe the complaint was not about the deck tech overall, but rather the new(ish) intro segment where Phil talks about a few cards one by one without the full deck on the screen. I also skip that beginning part, but I usually watch the full deck tech.

[@cquave11]

I felt you on game one. My least favorite deck to play against is 59 removal/control spells and 1 wincon they just have to dig for. Such miserable gameplay. Id much rather just lose to a reanimated Grislebrand on t0

[@KumanoMTG]

M1G1 - I'd bet your opp had exactly one Loam and two Wastelands in their deck :D

[@justinjones671]

22:31 you missed playing thespian stage as second land is there a reason for that?

[@ThrabenUniversity]

Without rewatching the whole thing, I'm not sure. I might have been hiding information.

[@ring1313]

This is a comment to show engagement with the algorithm after seeing your tweet

[@Sami8s]

Dumb question time! Isn't there an 'ETB Thespian Stage'? Or is it banned in legacy?

[@alexanderglasgo8163]

Vesuva is legal in Legacy, but is much more limited in utility compared to Thespian Stage

[@edoardosalvai2759]

Round 1 was such a slog, greed piles are like, why…

[@ShandyBooth-v6y]

Lands is a damn pain to play, a lot of slogging. With the power, idk if you think this RG build, or the white build with sphere pack more punch? I do think this shows that lands is also very hard to play against if you are not on a combo like TES or Doomsday, just a annoying different angle that no other deck really has!? *I cannot afford to play with rings, or the orcs really, so D&T and Lands are what I will be on.

[@ThrabenUniversity]

I think Sphere builds are better for leagues and this build is better for something more inbred like a Showcase Challenge.

[@MrM00gly]

Legacy isn't big where I live but modern is huge. I will donate for you to play my go to modern deck.

[@TCBabcock]

The problem I have with these type of control decks is that if you or your opponent is slow you will go to time very often and is very frustrating.

[@Kiddragon6]

51:50 An incredibly funny interaction would've been to use your Map to get a Grove, tap the grove for R to heal your opponent back to 13 and killing the orc and its token with the Punishing Fire instead of aiming directly at the Death's Shadow.
