This Standard deck is very hard to play.

[@logangrzesiek8749]

Named our daughter Thalia, so I always get a kick out of when she hits the battlefield and a "Thalia is annoying" variant immediately follows, haha.

[@LegenVD]

She'll grow up to be a great tax lawyer!

[@sammysammyson]

She may not make noncreatures cost 1 more, but she probably makes your patience cost more. Totally worth it though 😄

[@DocLowe]

Bro, I tried to get my wife to go for Avacyn or Rowan lol, but alas it was not a success.

[@MidgarMerc]

​@@DocLowewell yeah those are awful names.

[@Josh-ik5zg]

really like seeing Pia being utilized, been trying to optimize a jeskai build with Pia/Eruth that consistently gets the mechtitan from kamigawa in play. it's not the most competitive but its fun to swing with 10/10's most people don't see coming

[@CyberBuster93]

Oh this deck is AGGRESSIVE aggressive lmao! I genuinely love aggro strategies because theres actually a lot of play to the deck. Tons of small decisions on when to play spells and combat tricks, when to attack and how to block. The very basic mechanics od the game become so much more impactful in strategies like these. So much fun ans so much value! I expect nothing less from Luca! You're the best man!!!

[@Abyssknight1387]

I love your videos man! I don’t even play MtG but your content is so entertaining and you take the time to explain things and show what the cards do so it’s easy to follow along.

[@CyberBuster93]

Your 2 cents gives so much value! Haha you have a lot of insight and I appreciate you giving your thoughts!

[@logan_wolf]

Heartflame Duelist has a very interesting effect, giving sorceries and instants Lifelink. Reminds me of the silver border paper card "Super-Duper Death Ray," which was an Instant with Trample. Didn't expect them to pull something similar over to black-border Magic.

Soulfire Grandmaster back in Tarkir's block had this ability, as well as Firesong and Sunspeaker. Its really funky and fun to play with.

[@BartyBloopinTheBoneHog]

They also have a card from ravnica that gives instant/sorceries deathtouch

[@John-fe2tt]

Great deck LVD! Love the naya value for an aggressive deck.

[@daviddykstra7944]

Always love a new LVD video for lunch time 🌮👍

[@amarauk9687]

Love the "not autopilot" aggro decks, wiz did a great job with all the "play from exile" cards

[@psychocrusher8274]

Your two cents always provides a lot of value. Happy Hobbit Day Luca. Cheers. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@samalama1337]

Veeeery excited to try this one. Been playing and loving a few Pia lists and Heartflame Duelist was a card I was very excited to mess with before release.

[@redpandaplush5980]

Match 2 you could've used torch on squee instead of heartflame slash and exiled it, saving a lot of headache later Great stuff as usual! This is the only place I watch standard but you've always got great deck ideas

[@LegenVD]

That was definitely an option, although mana efficiency is also important when playing this deck. Saving the cheap burn spells to play after Duelist has a lot of upside.

[@redpandaplush5980]

​@@LegenVDmakes sense! Still won so who am I to judge lol

[@irreleverent]

It takes longer to get duelist down without losing a removal spell if you do that, which is a pretty big deal against mono-red where duelist is a massive swing.

[@gorsedh]

I understand that in this way the title is more catchy but i missed the standardised titles in which i already knew what i was looking at only from the title

[@thomaskamkar5197]

Agreed, I'd prefer if he had the snappy title and then a short description, to make videos easier to find 'This Deck is very hard to Play - Naya Adventures'

[@bornofthenight3871]

I second this

[@MrPuch82]

Same. I always respected LVD for his no non-sense approach. No distracting face-cam, descriptive titles and calm, professional commentary.

[@mojomokie]

His video on the raccoon popped off, makes sense he'd continue using the format

[@mememaster5748]

Well, at least he's not doing a soyjack face in the thumbnail with arrows and THIS COMBO FUCKED MY DAD!??!? Plastered accross the screen like most mtg creators

[@denisskenderovic3707]

Can't wait to finish rare-drafting in Quick Draft so I can finally try out some of these brews. Cheers!

[@timothygalvin3021]

Oh man. Now i miss the old Temur adventures deck.

[@T_Vulture13]

Amazing Game 2!

[@jakenhsman]

"May as well play Mono-Red" can apply to every standard deck right now :(

[@LoganardoDVinci]

There were zero red decks in the top 8 at Worlds this weekend.

[@jakenhsman]

@@LoganardoDVinci yeah well I play arena best of 1, not worlds. Happy for you though

[@nitiratp]

You don't like making it easy, do you? Great video, as always!

[@nicholasgilvin6396]

One of the best pilots I’ve ever seen.

[@danielstein8769]

Was hoping for a beluna deck when I read adventures. Got 4 of her in packs and I don't know what to do with her in standard :(

[@victoriachusin2944]

Wow, in game 7 if opponent grabbed kumano rather than play with fire, thought it was an odd choice, they wouldn't have gotten their raiju killed, thopters still bock raiju nicely but very different game for them

[@joshuaphillips1081]

@27:37 A total misplay to keep the Pia on top, you've already got 2 in hand... J/K

[@draconocor]

Don't mind the more algorithm-friendly titles at all, but definitely would appreciate always having some indication in the title or thumbnail of what format is being played, like in this one.

[@asdasvedas1]

8:35 Yea you are done. You are not coming back

[@ryansimmons9647]

I was surprised to see this title. You pilot decks so well that it's hard to think any deck could give you a hard time. OH and i had a question! Do you have a favorite MTG channel that you watch?

[@syferpolski4344]

The . at the end indicates it's sarcasm

[@DerpwaldDuck]

​@syferpolski4344 Lol the dot is the most basic way to end a sentence though? xD Just curious what you thought would've been better to make it sound more serious ^^

[@poiri]

@@syferpolski4344that’s just proper punctuation, which LVD uses for his other titles as well, if you were to look.

[@butdoesitscrub3457]

I been playing with this. And idk how anyone got 10-0 with this deck with all the removals in standard.

[@TheChzoronzon]

Is this one better than the original version? I like the addition of duelist, but not sure about the lack of Emperor, Thrillseeker and the rest of the toolbox aspect

[@LegenVD]

Not sure which build you're referring to.

[@samalama1337]

A Naya Pia deck with a more token based setup won first place in the first standard tournaments post WoD. It's quite fun and I assume that's what they're describing

[@TheChzoronzon]

@@LegenVD CovertGoBlue played it the other day, under the title "The real BEST DECK in Standard", like a week ago Take a look, it's pretty fun :)

[@TheChzoronzon]

@@samalama1337 Yep :)

[@aaronpersons1155]

Was there a KZbin policy change where videos had to contain a sentence for a title, or just works better with algorithm or something?

[@legendarye172]

algorithm

[@genyrik35]

This has been better for the algorithm for a few years, I’m surprised he only started doing it not

[@logangrzesiek8749]

Peep the views on the last few videos vs ones prior, pretty crazy impact.

[@Friendofme]

He's trying to play the algorithm game. His average viewership seems to have gone up by about 5k or so with the new style, so I guess it's working to some extent.

[@jadelocke3849]

Can confirm, I never heard of this guy before he started playing the algorithm game. Glad he did, he makes very good videos
