to add on to the OP, I would HIGHLY recommend reading the lore for Ulamog. reads like something straight out of a C'thulu storyline (intended surely) mtg.gamepedia.com/Ulamog
That's how I felt about my old Field of the Dead combo deck. I would ignore everything my opponent did and just go through the motions until the combo happened. I would win sometimes and not even know what color spells my opponent was casting.
My mythic rare Platinum Angel didn't have an animation and I kinda let it slide. Now my mythic rare unstoppable Eldrazi doesn't have an animation while uncommon Skull Prophet gets his own animation. What are you doing, Wizards???
That honestly makes me mad. It would be awesome if the top of its body popped out of the card and slashed at the two permanents it exiles, then do the same thing to the deck on attack.
This is just me being picky, but I kind of want cards in MtGArena that say "do this thing, win the game" to have a special effect. Like a "Fatality" from Mortal Kombat.
Shadowverse has some nice ones for it's alt wins like Seraph and Spartacus: an angel ascending to heaven to blast your opponent and making your bottom 'death card' into a victory card instead
Ulamog, now that's a card from your old Magic Duels videos. Good memories, thanks for including this card in the deck! :D Also, your card puns never cease to aMAZE me. :D
Did some changes with the deck. Took out open the gates for district guide. Removed 1 gates ablaze and 1 guild summit to add in 2 gate colossus. (Maybe changed soon) Took our 1 of each for stomping, steam, and breeding to add in 3 field of the dead. Why: I noticed when playing there is a between arboreal to golos and golos fo ulamog. During matches of course with the Mets ppl go for gruul or any aggro decks and either the arboreal isn’t enough to help defend you or worst you don’t get them and your wide open. With district guide you got a 2/2 while still grabbing a gate land. Field of the dead helps create blockers fo help you fend off against aggro. Colossus maybe I might change but they do help have threatening presense on board and this forces opponent hand to cast any removals on it if feel threaten by it. Also with against aggro like gruul they mostly have 2 power or below so they can’t block it except for their 3 power or high cards which to them they don’t wanna lose since that’s their main power house to kill you fast. On maybe why remove colossus: I see it does interfere a little on draw with its ability when you play a gate while in its grave. Maybe I might swap it out for gate ram but not 100% sure yet.
seing this sweet mazes end deck, i wish they had added mirror gallery to arena just to play Shrine tribal. but its nice to see one of my favorite cards in arena
me prior to vid: oohhh a gate maze focus deck. this would be fun to play. what kind of cards are in here besides those? after vid: oh... we going ulamog. hm.
This will be a good day. Edit: I knew it would be a good day. I bought a core set 2020 booster box quite a while ago, and tried to organize a draft. Today I finally got tired of trying and opened it. Opened some really good mythics, all worth over 2$, some even over 6$. But the best was opening a foil Chandra, Awakened Inferno in the LAST PACK. Oh, and a foil golos to boot.
@@NoFutureForG0uda Yeah you're right, I tested it with two songs instead of Golos since I don't have the 4x and it can really hurt you if the draws are not good.
update 2 fro other comments: yeah bit of improvement with rams replacing colossus and added another field of the dead. it works against aggro AND control decks. control the best to piss off cause they can counter/remove your creatures, enchants, spells BUT lands? 95% of the time nope they cant. its funny to see them get desperate when you see them use removal cards on 2-3 of yoru zombs vs the other 5 thats out cause they that despereate to make sure you dont have field control or just straight up surrender.
So it’s a 0/2 on it’s own, plus Glitters - that’s +5 (glitters itself plus 4 artifacts, including the thopter), plus two +1/+1 counters. But when all of the other creatures died it lost 3, therefore it’s a 4/6
Hey LvD, I was going to build this deck with Wayward Swordtooth, the Dryad and Escape to the Wilds to play two lands a turn. Did you play around with this idea? Was it the inferiror choice?
If you look at the numbers it's very unreliable in the early game. Much better in a build with more gates, where you can play more Simic/Gruul/Izzet gates, although that version can't really cast its spells on curve early on. So there are advantages and disadvantages.
I was like, let's see, wait, what, ULAMOG? Then I was like okay, but how does he play more than one?! Then I realized it's not Duels anymore. Good old times.
@@eygcqd Hab mir darüber nie Gedanken gemacht - davon ausgehend, dass auch alle Deutschen hier in Englisch kommentieren, aber da LegenVD schlichtweg der beste und informativste MTG-Arena-TH-camr ist, denke ich mal, wir sind hier nicht allein. ;)

That moment when I didn't pay any attention to the new cards being added to historic and I see a suprise Ulamog out of nowhere.
This
That sounds exciting 😂

Let's be real, these days I get all my serotonin from LVD videos

@@HendersonHinchfinch AHAH!
like playing solitary. and whenever opponent starts to interrupt, a gates ablaze to make them quiet and continuing playing for yourself. how peaceful
lol

@@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself yeah, so boring, like watching paint dry. I'm sorry for your expirience :(
Ulamog, the ceaseless hunger - the alternate win condition to the normal win con, gate's end.
Isn't it usually the other way round.
Yeah I have to agree. A 10/10 creature that makes your opponent exile 20 cards?
Definitely the top dog.
In jank, we know what our win conditions are. Sometimes that just doesn't work.
My mythic rare Platinum Angel didn't have an animation and I kinda let it slide. Now my mythic rare unstoppable Eldrazi doesn't have an animation while uncommon Skull Prophet gets his own animation. What are you doing, Wizards???

Would have been better than what we got for sure
@@rhymeswithmoose228 ulamog doesn't slash. It devours...
" oooh, I guess we can win with Ulamog here..."
:D
"... but i'll resist the temptation"

I wanted to see that Ulamog take out the Tempered Steel deck’s few lands lol.
This is just me being picky, but I kind of want cards in MtGArena that say "do this thing, win the game" to have a special effect.
Like a "Fatality" from Mortal Kombat.
You're not the only one. It's so underwhelming just seeing your opponents head explode as if they just conceded.
they said their team is already busy enough animating the new cards for new sets, there's no way they can also animate all the old cards
Shadowverse has some nice ones for it's alt wins like Seraph and Spartacus: an angel ascending to heaven to blast your opponent and making your bottom 'death card' into a victory card instead
@@soilnrock1979 i would really like to see an animation of the approach of the second sun
@@soilnrock1979 They are prioritizing animating new cards, not new cards with alternate win conditions. They might get around to it later.
Ulamog, now that's a card from your old Magic Duels videos. Good memories, thanks for including this card in the deck! :D
Also, your card puns never cease to aMAZE me. :D
Having the self control to not cast an Ulamog is why you're my favourite mtga content creator
New vid at 3am? Sure, the night is young!
Okay, this is EXACTLY the type of content I want to see. Amazing job as usual man! 🤘
Oh, so you're the reason I saw someone else crazy enough to play a Maze deck like myself haha

Great to see the grazer being relevant in the endgame. Usually I hate to draw him late.
Yeah, definitely still very useful.
seing this sweet mazes end deck, i wish they had added mirror gallery to arena just to play Shrine tribal.
but its nice to see one of my favorite cards in arena
Man, historic seems poppin compared to standard right now.
This is the deck i was expecting
me prior to vid: oohhh a gate maze focus deck. this would be fun to play. what kind of cards are in here besides those?
after vid: oh... we going ulamog. hm.
Always good to see Historic content, though I would much prefer Bo3 matches. Thanks for posting.
You didn't play Ulamog ;w; I'm sad
Love it makes me wanna upgrade my maze edh deck
Love this jank!
very fun deck
Do a Tempered Steel deck! With AtG, mythic Dovin and Crystalline Golem. And Ornithopter.
32:00, it took me a moment to realise that move.
This will be a good day.
Edit: I knew it would be a good day. I bought a core set 2020 booster box quite a while ago, and tried to organize a draft. Today I finally got tired of trying and opened it. Opened some really good mythics, all worth over 2$, some even over 6$. But the best was opening a foil Chandra, Awakened Inferno in the LAST PACK.

Congrats!
@@LegenVDThanks!
I has hoping for this one
Hello LVD are you gonna take part on CGB's jank week? Last jank battles were amazing
I can't wait to see ulamog deck of LegenVD
hola :D cool one card I will never have but looks cool
How do you see a couple of Song of Creation to speed up the gate count instead of the Ulamogs?
song can choke and you cannot really allow discarding more than one gate
@@NoFutureForG0uda Yeah you're right, I tested it with two songs instead of Golos since I don't have the 4x and it can really hurt you if the draws are not good.
Amazing deck, as always. Were you able to try out a version of this where you run cards that allow additional lands played per turn?
Grazer and Spiral already help with that. Rarely find myself holding Gates that I can't play.
I was about to go to bed but let’s go
as a tip, there's only 11 gates with different names on arena, so if you destroy 2, youve practically won already
that or run Unmoored Egos
Unless the opponent has backup gates instead of singleton gates.
200 IQ move.. have a backup of all 11 gates and a maze's end in sideboard to tutor using fae of wishes.
No Ulomag play here, so sad :(
Ps storm the gates!! :D
I just want a ritual from one of these anthology packs. I need to make my storm deck better! Lol
You missed a chance of naming the deck Bill(ion) Gates
How come you don't do any brawl decks? I forget if they were brawl or Singleton, but you made some cool Niv and Muldrotha decks a while back.
Still play a little on stream. I have Brawl videos as a stretch goal on Patreon.
I was building a Yorion+Maze End deck. I didn't know what to cut. So I just played Yorion haha

gotta redo your hondon deck from a while ago on MTGO
This deck seems so satisfying to play. Sad ulamog never got to see play :(
i like maze's end in my niv-mizzet commander. flavor!
Love tribals lol. Even if this isn't a tribal, it's a tribal.
That first game was a long one that still ended before any interaction happened. Unless you count that meaningless attack with Golos.
They were playing a combo deck, so that's to be expected.
32:44 How did the 7/9 ornithopter die from 6 damage from gates ablaze?
All that glitters no longer gives buff when other artifacts died, so assigned damage was enough to kill thopter
So it’s a 0/2 on it’s own, plus Glitters - that’s +5 (glitters itself plus 4 artifacts, including the thopter), plus two +1/+1 counters. But when all of the other creatures died it lost 3, therefore it’s a 4/6
Marked damage remains for the entire turn. If a big creature got smaller, they'll die.
Having singleton copies of all the gates seems to be asking for a field of ruin to ruin the primary win con xD
Microsoft approved, thanks Bill
"A maze ing" ahahahahah
Noice!!
MVC: A maze ing
LOL !!
Hey LvD,
I was going to build this deck with Wayward Swordtooth, the Dryad and Escape to the Wilds to play two lands a turn.
Did you play around with this idea? Was it the inferiror choice?
Could work, although what matters is the quality of lands you play, not the quantity.
why no plaza or harmony?
If you look at the numbers it's very unreliable in the early game. Much better in a build with more gates, where you can play more Simic/Gruul/Izzet gates, although that version can't really cast its spells on curve early on. So there are advantages and disadvantages.
I'm rlly disappointed that u didn't play the Ulamog
Saving it for an Ulamog deck.
@@LegenVD Vivien Champion of the Wilds flashing in Ulamog? Just sit with me and pretend teferi doesn't exist.
While a disappointment to be sure, one must seize victory when it's in one's grasp.
I was like, let's see, wait, what, ULAMOG?
Then I was like okay, but how does he play more than one?!
Then I realized it's not Duels anymore. Good old times.
I’m still astonished Maze’s End worked out that many times.
What an a-maze-ing deck hahahaha
Highly recommend reading the lore for Ulamog. Reminds me alot of C'thulu monsters.
mtg.gamepedia.com/Ulamog
wasn't the last historic package like 2500 gems? this one was 4000...
3200 then 4000 then 4000. Their justification was the increase in rare cards or something I believe.
I would put just one copy of B. Bog just to make the it funny
"draw a million cards"
