I've had a few copies of One With the Multiverse lying around that I didn't know what to do with, but this is it. I have been unlucky to never pull portal though so i only wanted to burn one mythic rare. I've filed in the top of the curve with hulking metamorphs as they work with Abuelo's awakening and can copy multiverse!
made my own version of this deck in current standard, some notable includes are no more lies, the overlords and three steps ahead, its a very strong deck
I ran this kind of deck for some time in Standard. What I found is, you definitely want to add one Atraxa and Kaya. You do need means to fill your hand in mid-late game, and Kaya's -3 is a very nasty vs basically every kind of current control meta.
25:12 Isnt it better if you wait until attacks are declared? if opponent uses Rafines ability on the Denek, and you Get Lost it, would it still activate or would it fizzle? In my head i was thinking about that play but im not sure if you know something i dont
Yup that would fizzle it. It's a targeted effect, so any situation when all the targets for something are invalid by the time it resolves, it'll fizzle. Plus, connive, similar to explore and fight, is an ability that requires that a specified creature take that action, so even in a case where we weren't looking at a targeted ability, removing a creature that's trying to do one of those things prevents that ability from doing anything.
@@CodfishJoeThe second part of your answer is actually wrong. If a non-targeting ability tells you to connive/explore with a creature that has left the battlefield, you still get the card selection, but no counters will be placed. You can see this in the rulings for Lethal Scheme.
@@LegenVD Through successful studies in mathematics, I've discerned that 3 surpasses 2, but what about the Powerstone Token to ramp you into your 7 and 8 mana spells? I know that the reanimation is the main strategy, but more ways to victory could help.
LVD was advised by his legal team that the title "Grandpa's nasty surprise" may raise questions or possibly land him in hot water and promptly changed it.
Wohoo. An one-hour long standard video. Crazy value!
Whats your preferred watch time? Lol
1h+!!
"And our opponent explodes" never get tired of hearing it
Woo-hoo , great video and explanations as usual, what a pro! :)
Glad you liked it!
Abuelo's Awakening more like Abuelo woke up and chose voilence
Thanks for this idea, it's been really fun to play especially as a fan of azorius, your videos are always unique!
Some very exciting stabilizes from this deck.
That fact that Portal to Phyrexia exists is crazy, and Abuelo's Awakening just provides a lot of value! Awesome job as always Luca!!! 😊
Thunderhulk is slept on. There are a few ways to abuse the etb and attack trigger. I run it in Pioneer God pharaoh's gift and it's nutty.

Yeah, definitely wanted to fit in Metamorphs but couldn't find room.
this combo is nutty

Legend's vids in my feed never fail to awaken my abuelo
Brilliant I have similar deck but added depopulates! Very fun!
Quintoooooooorius!!!!😂
Master of reanimation was there!

Man I love the thunderhulk in action
Something something provides a lot of value let's go algorithm
Love this deck!
Very good legend!!
Love ya lvd! Great deck!
You try any glypgbridge for a board wipes? Seems like good synergy here
Grande el abuelo!
nice. thanks!
Need Chrome seedshark for those nasty 9/9 tokens every turn
So a question: is it better to reanimate big threats or ramp into them? And why?
Whatever brings them faster, I guess.
Abuelo's Awakening turns Thunderhulk from a 0/0 to a 1/1, so it has power X+4 instead of X+3

Abuelo’s awakening is busted. Whats your wish…my command.
Would chart a course be good in this deck?
It’s fine, but it’s sorcery speed, and more specifically first main phase, if you want to discard and attack.
I'm a simple man: I see portal to phyrexia, I compleat the like button
Why is Thirst for Knowlege a better card for this deck than Stern Lesson?
3>2
discarding an artifact is upside in this artifact reanimator

@@gwlmtg1054card advantage is best advantage
@@gwlmtg1054 "more ways to victory could help"
Yes, that's exactly why drawing 3 is better than drawing 2.
Are we not gonna talk about that crazy title and thumbnail or
LVD was advised by his legal team that the title "Grandpa's nasty surprise" may raise questions or possibly land him in hot water and promptly changed it.
Match 2 is exactly how my draws go, 90% of the time. 40% chance of drawing a land? I draw three 9-drops in a row.
Wait,i remember that video title a bit different...hmh
Apparently I need to buy wildcards today.
Looks fun!
Why didnt the last player "Jace" him?
It wasn’t lethal.
WHY DIDN'T YOU APPLY THE STYLES?
Moving cards are very noticeable after the games are edited to cut out pauses and dead air.
@@LegenVD I wouldn't have thought that you'd actually give me a real explanation ^^ but that does make sense.
Me: Blah blah blah, show me what the deck does?
Also 5 mins into match 1: WHAT DOES THIS DECK DO?
Woohoo!😅
Nice Skyrim reference at the end of the video. For those that don't know: th-cam.com/video/72_V6M0GWow/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lXsfWByCZkHVWRUt
Sunfall is such an obnoxious card lol
get GNOMED.
Isn’t an “abuelo” a Spanish grandma?
Grandpa*
*Yay, no Timeless!* ☺️
Yeah watching everyone fetch lands and cast shaman/ragavan is only interesting a few times lol
like the videos, but quality is very grainy and out of focus
Are you sure you’re watching at 1080p?
