A 2 mana reanimation spell is now legal in historic... but i'm glad that they are keeping the power level of the format in check by keeping Epiphany nerfed
LVD Broke the meta again. I don't play that format, but i could see through the video that the decks are literally just the same over and over. So i think this deck its a sweet and spicy way to say to everyone "Wake up! Make more decks!"
Wow, I faced off against a very similar list the other day (similar enough to be on Taigam’s Scheming) and I figured that since they didn’t ramp I was safe as long as I didn’t give them a turn 4. Turns out I was more lucky than safe!
a friend and I built this years ago leaning on mizzix's and unburial rites for the combo win, then updated a few weeks ago with persist and have been playing almost this same exact list, just no white for better consistency.
I like the version of this deck that makes use of sideboard cards like Fae of Wishes for the Second Approach win (Mastermind's Acquisition twice, Scholar of the Ages). For this, of course, Brilliant Restoration and Omniscience and Conspiracy Unraveler can enable it. Although of course, the non combat win can involve Conspiracy Unraveler + Breach mill. But then again, the above strategy mentioned plays through Gaea's Blessing.
I hope you do a Warren Soultrader combo deck showcase (or the patrons vote on one). I've been having a blast with my Chatterfang combo deck in brawl when I'm not facing Nadu or hard control.
Love the video, love the deck, love the games. This is part of why i prefer to stick to Commander format, if that Conspiracy Unraveler was an uncommon or legendary creature it would be a $20+ card and it's stuff like that why i much prefer the singleton format. That thing enables super crazy stuff and i hate that it's blue and not black cause Conspiracy Unraveler feels like a black card maybe red? Blue does not need the help lol.
I used to watch LVD waaaay back, on my old YT account. Recently started to play YGO again casually with friends because the meta reached nuclear levels of bad, with unparalled speed. I didn't realize MTG was going down the same route, lol
I have a mono blue sphinx tribal I play in commander with Unesh Criosphinx Sovereign at the helm. Super fun when paired with 1 mana changelings and flicker effects. Play big cats, counter big spells, no max hand size.
Why in match 4 do you play the tapped mimic when you’ve got 3 lands in your hand you can play tapped as well no? 😢 not like it mattered in the end though
For those building this kind of combo i suggest you play atleast 1 copy of Eldritch Pact. It enables you to deckout your opponent or just straight up burn them.
I did bite the bullet and crafted the deck but I need to learn more how to combo off , it seems its key you must cast a extra turn somehow when you put the writing on the wall
Every time you play a tapped Glasspool Mimic as a land when you have Spirebluff Canals or Seachrome Coasts that will come in tapped on later turns anyway, the optimizer in me screamed. It didn't matter, but it was strictly worse than playing the fast lands in every case.
@@CriticalStories The Spirebluff Canal is better *as a land* , so if the Fastland will come into play tapped on later turns it is strictly better to play it instead of the Mimic. Even if the Fastland will come into play tapped this turn, and even if you don't have use for the mana right now. The only time it is or can be correct to play Mimic over a blue/x fastland is on turn 1 or 2. If you play Mimic on turn 3+, the Canal will come into play tapped next turn and you'll have access to U from the Mimic. If you play the Canal on turn 3+, the Mimic will come into play tapped next turn, but you'll have U *or* R from the canal, which is strictly better. Even if you intend to play the Mimic as a land, it's still wrong to play it out over a Seachrome Coast, Darkslick Shores, or Spirebluff Canal after turn 2.
This combo is so cursed. Not because it wins turn two, sure thats totally fine. But because it doesn't really do anything actually - what kills the opponent in the end are just 5/5 fliers. Thats depressing. You cast like 50 mana worth of spells, but all it does is put a flock of medium large birds on the board. The noble Scholar with its busted ability is being abused as a blunt object.
You known, i think persist is pretty close to being safe for standard. The non-legendary part excludes so many of the good reanimate targets. Also creatures in general.
Persist needs to absolutely be emergency banned from Historic. A card this broken and busted has no business in any format outside of Legacy. Even for Modern this card shouldn't be legal. This is just a borderline Legacy power level card that just gets to exist in Arena Historic for no reason whatsoever and I expect decks like this to just run the format until it's banned. There are even better versions of this deck already and this version has turn 2 wins. Historic is supposed to be a turn 4 format at best and this deck is turn 2-3. Way too busted, needs to go and likely will.
Good god that first game was disgusting. No offense to legendvd of course but i would be mad as hell if i was trying to play some fair magic and my opponent cast 50 mana worth of spells at me turn 2
And this is why I don't play normal mtg and only commander with people who also agree to only play mid power level stuff, too many broken combos. If I wanted to play a ccg with consistent turn 1 and 2 kills I would play yugioh.
@@LegenVD great deck and and i am willing to craft it and spend my wildcards as its a T2 OTK deck in best case which is for sure great. can you provide a untapped link for that deck?
first game was opponent playing magic vs you playing yugioh
As a Yugioh player, I appreciate this comment, and LegenVD's deck for today.
Actually, the opponent did get to play an entire turn 😂
Props to the first guys sitting through the whole combo! I'm glad we got to see it all play out.
I was thinking the same thing, but at the same time if I were the other person I would probably be laughing too hard at how insane that turn 2 was to concede
"As you can see, the opponent made the rookie mistake of bringing a MTG netdeck to a Yugioh game."

This is nuts. I don't think I've ever seen the same deck this many times.
Another set of very diverse enemy decks!
Can’t wait for some of these cards to get nerfed
This is why we do graveyard strat in bo1 😂 easy wins against gates, energy, and Nadu.
I love that you edited in the "hello" at 15:00

“Alright, unto thee next one.”

Cool deck, sphinx’s have got to be one of my favorite creature types
I have a mono blue sphinx tribal I play in commander with Unesh Criosphinx Sovereign at the helm. Super fun when paired with 1 mana changelings and flicker effects. Play big cats, counter big spells, no max hand size.
Sometimes I think I should play historic again and then I remember that no, I absolutely shouldn't.
First game has to be the wildest I've ever seen!!!
Why in match 4 do you play the tapped mimic when you’ve got 3 lands in your hand you can play tapped as well no? 😢 not like it mattered in the end though
I love ranimator combos. It’s kept kroxa and kunoros as my main commander
Isn't it a 5 color deck or the green in ultimatum considered a dash? :) just curious how it works
You answered my question in the video 🙈 will leave it here for algorithm
I modified this deck and added 3 Verdant Rejuvenation and 3 Tyrranax rex, it's brutal!

Do you have the sideboard cards for this?
8:31 You could've went for another Ajani to get the planeswalker going just to be extra dirty.
Mega Ultra Sphinx. Only in a children's card game!
have you tried woodlands omni? its a similar deck but it can afford to run some interaction maindeck
Have one in progress but haven’t found a build I’m happy with yet.
What’s Woodlands Omni ?
@@alaingamache3908 shifting woodlands lets you copy a permanent in your graveyard so with omniscience you can cheat one in play

Evil Luca is back, baby!!!! xD
20:53 opponent was willing to spend 3 extra energy just to be EXTRA sure that spell didn’t resolve
I think it was to be able to draw with the other artifact. Draw only after spending 4 energy
Totally balanced cards, just like the cat energy meta these days

damn, what a brutal deck. guess my tribal decks would main sideboards
Yu-Gi-Oh!!!
LVD out here playing 4d chess, oppos playing tic tac toe
At this point woc might as well just release a card with no mana cost that says "pay one life. You win the game". The game is in sucha boring state.
11:00 this was me, the last 2 weeks
I like to imagine these games as two heavyweight boxers just pounding the crap out of each other and whomever lands a blow to the jaw first wins.

LMAO I just made a comment like this one without seeing yours. Yeah, TCGs are imploding.
Why not run this in timeless to use Reanimator? There’s definitely more options too for big hits
The metagame is better suited for this style of deck in Historic, where you don't get double Griefed on turn one.
based
Play Bo1 in formats older than Explorer is really bananas 😂

This deck totally broke the game. Persist should be banned
First game is absurd.
as i watned to return to MtG, watched couple of videos and decided not to return. its just a bullshit, not MtG anymore.

Opponent should have played differently that first game tbh. Pure skill issue.
