Vraan's Forge - Phyrexia Standard - MTG Arena

[@davestier6247]

Vraan sending oppos back to the C: prompt really computes a lot of value

[@pepijnkleinlebbink917]

Last time i was this early, New phyrexia was still called mirrodin

[@bryankopkin6869]

I would say too soon but its been way too long 😭

[@Dreadnote-pf7of]

BibleThump Mirrodin would prevail BibleThump

[@unixtreme]

And we had fetches in draft boosters.

[@stripeybag6977]

I called it Argentum

[@goma3]

28:20 mark You already have lethal. Sac Harvester, trigger Vraan. opponent goes to 3. Pass turn. During opponent upkeep trigger Anvil for 1 + 2 dmg from Vraan

[@LegenVD]

That works too!

[@hemsmooth]

His name isn't Mark it's actually Luca

[@haveiszalfaroqie1628]

But he's not calling his name kappa

[@CyberBuster93]

Love myself a Rak Sack archetype! Also love the thumbnail man lol awesome job as always Luca!!!

[@dinochris2136]

I was hanging out for this deck! Thanks LVD! Very enjoyable and well played - i'm sure I would have lost a lot of those games! :) Great to see forge important in a couple of games at least...

[@Dreadnote-pf7of]

Huh, I don't even connected at first that ObNix is a even better with new forge then default anvil strat, because with forge you would more often get huge attack creatures that you happy to sacrifice, so you would get beefier ObNix copy then usually. Because if I remember during SNC time you usually get 2-3 power Nix, or even 1 because you sac 1/1 from forge. But now if game would drag on - you could get a BIG Boy

[@1ogic948]

Been having a lot of fun with this deck for awhile now, glad to see some variants that I can try out. I've tried out Mukotai Soulripper to get in damage with all the tokens from anvil before, although that might not be needed with Forge, Ob, and Thane showed off here.

[@denisskenderovic3707]

Neat! Anvil is still my favorite deck to pilot! I love ping damage! Great decklist

[@nitiratp]

Interesting take on raksac, looking forward to trying it out.

[@user-et3xn2jm1u]

When the Vraan engine revs up it sounds like vraaaaan, vraaaaaaaaaan! VRAAN, VRAAN!

[@comedyman4896]

Sheoldred wasn't seeing enough play, so they reduced her casting cost by 1B

[@povisykt]

Very cool upgrade

[@MrSirbra]

Missing is the land that can become an artifact for x and tap. Double your anvil or forge.

[@Hacibeyrocks]

I love watching your freshly brewed decks in action but I really would like to see you play them in BO3 matches to see if the deck would work in real life tournaments or not. Please consider making BO3 content

[@ayrnovem9028]

42:20 Any reason not to chomp one of the underdogs + sacrifice the blocking token? Am I missing something? edit: yes I am. The phrasing "during your turn" in the anvil's text block.

[@riccardopiombo222]

33:50 am I wrong or one ob nixilis hasn't been activated?

[@LegenVD]

The editing made it look like they weren't, but just wanted to speed things up a bit. The loyalty still goes up.

[@peterhowley1510]

Surprised to not see mycosynth gardens to make sure you always get two anvils going

[@Cyberplex]

LegenVD is amazing. Is there anyone else out there - that you recommend for content? With similar knowledge, calmness and explanation of thought process that I can check out?

[@ayrnovem9028]

He is quite unique. If I were to point out something negative (not really) about LVD, it would be the fact that after watching him, I have a hard time with other MTG creators. They feel... cringe.

[@frankstnable]

BoshNRoll, though he plays on mtgO. Mostly legacy, some modern and pioneer in between.

[@ottermc6514]

Arne Huschenbeth, who plays mainly explorer BO3, and Motumbo who plays lots of historic jank.

[@mariand.1087]

I was trying to do something similar with Forge/Anvil and the Red Skullbomb to add counters on the forge but never could get it right. Maybe I'll use this list as an inspiration, I still think the skullbomb works well to pump the Forge to some nice levels.

[@yallia6197]

LegenVD has a forge/oil deck he featured not long ago, maybe you can find some more inspiration there. The deck seemed pretty fun (altho probably not very competitive).

[@mariand.1087]

@@yallia6197 Yeah I saw that deck as well, it was very cool, one shotting with the Sylex when Solphim is in play. I was looking specifically to build in black/red as I currently don't have resources to complete that one. Seems like LVD found the correct cards (as he always does) to make forge work with anvil.

[@akshayedynesh4771]

I’m gonna try this deck with braids, arisen nightmare 😈

[@Mn78868]

I Started with oni cult,then found out braska, then tryed to buil around these two, and finally found something worth ! Thank you ! But i cant figure out how to avoid poison,, killin them makes poison,spell makes poison...how to deal with poison ? To get full amazing game with this deck ?

[@ottermc6514]

Please make a Piece it together + Dreadhorde arcanist + sea gate stormcaller deck! I recently thought of the combo and have made some decks with it, but i want to see your take on it aswell! it is surprisingly reliable and very fun to play.

[@EZ__Chicken]

do you have any decklists? seems like a fun combo to explore

[@RibusPQR]

Urabrask's Forge reminds me of As Foretold.

[@comedyman4896]

Have you considered playing the Mycosynth Gardens to copy anvil?

[@LegenVD]

It's a bit tough on the mana in such a low curve deck, but it's definitely a powerful land that shouldn't be overlooked!

[@maciek19882]

What is better: Urabrasks Forge or Skeletal Swarming?

[@LegenVD]

They're both fun build-arounds!

[@bizzlemurda6277]

Personally I loved swarming haven't used forge yet but it could be better cheaper and mono colored

[@alainassaf]

Is there an advantage to use 'anhiliating glare' over 'eaten alive' ? I feel it's always better to exile opponents cards than just destroy them. What am I missing ? help !!!

[@honestabe411]

Glare allows you to sacrifice a non-creature artifact, you could probably play eaten alive if you prefer the exile

[@JRandall0308]

Glare lets you sac an artifact, Eaten is only creature. This deck actively *wants* to sac artifacts.

[@pointyheadYT]

Hard to decide if I prefer forge over Braids in this type of deck.

[@bryankopkin6869]

The VraAnvil

[@Tech875O]

What are your thoughts on the 3 mana, 1/3 black creature that draws a card when a creature dies? Has great synergy with a sacrifice themed deck, and keeps the gas topped up.

[@LegenVD]

Could be good, it's tough to pick the 3-drops since there are a lot of good options.

[@Tavitin]

Katilda+Tyvar humans?

[@alphamew1773]

missed opportunity to call it Vraanvil

[@lollylegsgruff]

Can the anvil sacrifice the forge tokens end of turn before the forge trigger to go wide ?

[@LegenVD]

Those tokens aren't artifacts so it wouldn't work.

[@cyborgcat4262]

why not play furnace spellbomb?

[@MrSirbra]

Built a deck in this lane but my decks are never very well rounded or polished.

[@jayknight1099]

Surprised you didn't throw in Solphim.

[@francescoiacono250]

Hey Braids didn't find a place in the deck?

[@LegenVD]

Tried to find room for her, but had too many 3-drops already. Feel free to try it out if you want to mix things up!

[@Clackerr]

@@LegenVD Maybe over one of the Urabask Forges and 1 Vrann. Might require trimming a synthesizer though since curve would go up, but i love synthesizer. I think 2 vrann is enough and you def don't want multiples. I would like to get voldaren epicure up to 4 in this list also to improve consistency. Maybe 2 epicure over 2 cut down. Not sure we need more than 6 (10 if you count bloodtithe) removals when you are gumming up the ground.

[@federicopiccini9472]

66 demon+0b nixilis?

[@irony_man7728]

think myc gardens is worth it here?

[@LegenVD]

It's a bit tough on the mana in such a low curve deck, but it's definitely a powerful land that shouldn't be overlooked!

[@yonahgreene]

Not to hate but I have not seen a single deck pretty much not featuring fable of the mirror breaker

[@yallia6197]

This is one of the most if not the best card in red atm, why wouldn't anyone run it ? Exept if you want to be edgy for some reason I guess.

[@HarverTheSlayer]

It's the best red "glue card", it just offers too much to pass up.

[@jesseknorr8037]

It's about as much of an auto include as mountains in red decks cause of how much you get out of it

[@honestabe411]

Not only the ton of value by itself but auto include when you’re doing the whole red/black artifact and bloodtithe harvester thing

[@LegenVD]

I’ve featured a few Red decks without it in the past month, but it’s the best card in Standard so I’m not going to avoid it on purpose.

[@AkodoNoEyes]

Just for fun I put one Mirror Box in the deck and ended up winning one game with 3 Vren and 2 Ob’s with their respective tokens 😂🎉😅😮 Hahahahah That game was fun!

[@lostgrimm4227]

I think Ob Nixilis is is one of the most underrated cards from the New Capenna sets. Really strong in combination with oni-cult anvil.

[@MagnaDrake]

"underrated" as in when he came out he pushed Rakdos Sacrifice into the standard metagame. We all know he's good and strong, but right now, post-SNC, he's just a little bit outclassed.
