This is the only channel where I never forget to like the videos. Sometimes I will remember that I haven't done so and I'll go out of my way to open TH-cam on my phone, find the video and like it. The quality is just that good.
YES! This is exactly the deck I wanted to build the second Toxrill was revealed. Just need a few more wild cards. I play him as a 1-off in some other random decks, he's great to catch creature decks completely off guard.
When you massacred in the third game you could've done it for x = 2. That way you would've still killed the angel with the token from sludge monster and you would've gotten in for one extra point of damage since your monster would've been one larger.
@@joshuaphillips1081 check out LVD's croaking deck, its not his most powerful but that one can utilize doll house really well. Plenty of creatures in grave yard to reanimate with abilitys that dont care that they are 1/1s.
that control matchup was so satisfying to watch. nothing better than your opponent thinking they've come prepared with all the answers, yet leaving them questioning their existence! muahaha! #sluglife
Mate !!! You earned that "Subscribe" I've seen a few of your decks , but never have I copied a deck that took me to diamond in just a couple of games (was having troubles climbing plat1) ... Thanks heaps ! This was super fun to play
Always great content, fun to see the deck in action! Vids like this help me learn a lot about the game, amazed by how carefully you play and how often your opponents don't. Like your opponent missed lethal at 39:24, they could have activated Haven and smashed with the team, growing the Familiar in the process for 7 damage exactly.
thank you for any good content. I was introduced to untapped thanks to you and it has indeed helped me quite abit. even made me realise i had cards for some random deck i could play to spice things up.
Might be the most positive comment section on youtube. Live the content and channel. Just want to remind everyone to join the patreon to support all of LVD's hard work.
You are amazing thank you so much awesome content! My deck is a pile of horror jank but man is it fun. Wish more people were as creative as you I'm getting real sick or mono white, epiphany, and treasures.
The cool thing about Toxrill is that hes basically a constant board wipe and a threat that draws cards. Cool card. Been wanting to experiment with him in either mono b treasure control or sultai with Caretaker and the free creature ramp card (Howlsong Piper)
I literally opened a new account to test this deck. It is insane. I do not have all the cards yet, but the power of frustration that this deck handles for the opponent is impressive
I have had a pretty successful time with skeletal swarming + dreadfeast demon, if you look for some out of the box viable combos, but i guess you are good enough to not need this hint haha keep up the awesome uploads :)
At 44:55, could you do Massacre for 2 instead of 3, then put the slime counter on Legion Angel from attacking and have it die from the reduced base stats? It didn't matter to the play (other than missing 1 damage from a larger Sludge Monster), but I'm wondering if the mechanics work the way I think they do.
It's truly incredible to me that you can draw 90% lands for a million turns and keep your cool to the point that you somehow still win the game. Was there ever anything that tilted you?
My brother got slimed on Nickelodeon back in the 90s, and my dad almost got kicked out of there for telling the kids that the slime was applesauce with green food dye.
Good combo I made a combo version I am happy someone else out there did this combo as the cards are so cheep as a beck build think it's best in standard
Never mind i figured! For anyone wondering: Sludge monster Makes creatures with slime counters 2/2, thus a single slime counters reduces them to 1/1’s instead of killing them
Having a sludge monster in play would technically make Toxril worse against like, 50 1/1 squirrels. But the fact that they lose all their abilities makes it a pretty specific edge case
Can u do a deck with that serpent egg? I've been having trouble trying to get it to work. It's so cool. I wanna combo it with the dragons egg. But keep getting stuck
Exactly how many defeats did you edit out of this video? Cause there hasn't been a single time I've managed to keep a creature on the field long enough before my opponent just outright destroys it immediately.
I knew this creature combo was gonna be a thing. My favorite highlight is actually how well the sludge monster on its own can put in good work by stripping away key abilities from other creatures as well as stats since when adventures in the forgotten realms was out I didn’t see a lot of people playing it, myself included at the time.
I don’t get the timer in arena. Sometimes you get like 2 minutes when all you do is search for a land, sometimes you play test of talents and it gives you 5 seconds to look at hand, library, and graveyard before you start to time out. Like no concept of how long a card takes to resolve.
Was hoping you would make a deck with the slug. Really wish I had enough wild cards to make a deck with it. Definitely making one for paper magic though. Thanks for the vid!
Can you please play more Delina? I've been playing the one version from goldfish you did post but I wonder if there is any other "viable" Delina deck out there!
you have two sludge monsters with counters on them. the text makes Horror's immune. now what happens if you have a croaking clone of sludge monster with a slime counter on it and the original sludgemonster leaves the battle field is a good question
Ugh...lol just the other day I went on a crafting spree...I almost pulled the trigger on making a few of these...oh well...next time, I'll make a couple
quite close to how i made this. i had 4 hand hate, 2 liers and 4 divided by zero. no cram session or parasitic grasps tho. quite close. somewhat different balance.
Sludge Monster is actually good, legitimate threat that shuts down other creatures, almost like a 2 for 1. Also, Test of Talents looks like it just absolutely wrecks unsuspecting Epiphanies
I still don't get it tho. Sludge Monster sets the toughness to 1 on things with slime counters, and Toxrill gives -1/-1. Why doesn't this kill them outright? Why that 1/2 creature became a 2/2 when it got the counter from the sludge Monster?
I really appreciate you flipping dual-faced cards in the card close-ups. Your dedication to high production quality is why I love your channel.
I appreciate that!
The guy reading toxrill after casting a mascot e. was hilarious
Opponent would've had lethal if they'd animated haven at 39:21, but opted to use the coven-ability instead.
To be fair, it's hard to spot, because the dog only grows after the attack. Good catch!

Hats off to the second opponent. Tight game and he was clearly impressed by that slug and how it comboes with sludge monster.
@@noxiousvox350 If you are implying that I'm him then you are incorrect.
@@Gretstarret yea
Control vs control is the worst matchup possible. The most enjoyable is midrange vs midrange.
Been thinking about this deck since Toxrill was spoiled. Thanks king
@R G okay?
When you massacred in the third game you could've done it for x = 2. That way you would've still killed the angel with the token from sludge monster and you would've gotten in for one extra point of damage since your monster would've been one larger.
Indeed, nice catch!
the intro is gold. perfect ending with the music
Meathook massacre is such a frustratingly good board wipe. Scales up with mana to kill most things, gains life, sticks around for extra value. Zoiks.
Watching game 2 was great, aggro on aggro and control on control are the best match ups in my opinion, there’s just such a good back and forth
Hallowed Haunting Enchantment deck please 🙏
Great video by the way, tribals are my favourite 😄
I like this idea.
I haven't seen anyone run a *decent* Dollhouse of Horrors deck. I'm looking for LVD to be the first to do that.
@@joshuaphillips1081 check out LVD's croaking deck, its not his most powerful but that one can utilize doll house really well. Plenty of creatures in grave yard to reanimate with abilitys that dont care that they are 1/1s.
@@atreant4924 Dollhouse has synergy with Willow Geist too as it exiles stuff from your graveyard. I could see that working.

Pretty cool you got to really showcase not only toxrill but "your" sludge monster revealed card too
I love the intro's man, so good.

Here's some engagement for the algorithm! Thanks for the video!
I love this deck . Slug tribal is awesome .
Love how cool it was guessing that it was a control deck turn one from just the tapped emeria
Yeah, I thought that was cool too. LVD is definitely on a whole other level when it comes to strategy, game knowledge and analyzing his options.
The cool thing about Toxrill is that hes basically a constant board wipe and a threat that draws cards. Cool card. Been wanting to experiment with him in either mono b treasure control or sultai with Caretaker and the free creature ramp card (Howlsong Piper)
A constant ONE SIDED boardwipe which can’t be understated.
@@Bapper0 yeah. I personally undervalued the card when it was spoilered.
I was waiting for this ever since toxrill was spoiled.
My body is ready
I literally opened a new account to test this deck. It is insane. I do not have all the cards yet, but the power of frustration that this deck handles for the opponent is impressive
You bloody legend, what an awesome deck
This is the deck my brother wants to make. Thank you.
Slime control is my new favorite archetype
Loved the intro!
Crab tribal when LVD???
31:30 "And then I can level up my slug" made me giggle a little.
I have had a pretty successful time with skeletal swarming + dreadfeast demon, if you look for some out of the box viable combos, but i guess you are good enough to not need this hint haha keep up the awesome uploads :)
Or Demon and Koma 😀
37:50 isnt discarding a land and drawing a better choice to get closer to a sweeper?
Certainly worth considering, depending on how many turns we think we still have left.
At 44:55, could you do Massacre for 2 instead of 3, then put the slime counter on Legion Angel from attacking and have it die from the reduced base stats?
It didn't matter to the play (other than missing 1 damage from a larger Sludge Monster), but I'm wondering if the mechanics work the way I think they do.
yes
damage stays marked on a creature even if another effect changes its characteristics
Yup, that would've worked.
Yup you are correct, the -2/-2 from Meathook Massacre persists until end of turn and even as the Angel's base stats change to 2/2.
Crimson vow has been really great for the meta at large. So many decks are much more viable now.
By "viable" you mean they stand a chance with great odds and misplays from opponents?
It's truly incredible to me that you can draw 90% lands for a million turns and keep your cool to the point that you somehow still win the game. Was there ever anything that tilted you?
Very nice intro synching there!
I'm rocking GB slug. The ramp helps get him out fast enough against to eat up mono white
Great vid
Wonderful work as always. Gotta love LVD
My brother got slimed on Nickelodeon back in the 90s, and my dad almost got kicked out of there for telling the kids that the slime was applesauce with green food dye.
Match 3, big thinking about lesson to pick at around 37:45 , is this actually a situation where you could cycle a land instead of pick a lesson?
Always an option worth considering, definitely a close call there.
Amazing LvD
Pretty Nice. I'd love to try Toxrill with Vorinclex.
Love your content mate.
Thanks!
Wait at 13:40 Predation can't discard an advesrary right, it's 2 cmc?
Indeed
I love this channel.
Good combo I made a combo version I am happy someone else out there did this combo as the cards are so cheep as a beck build think it's best in standard
16:35 Why didnt the spellbinder and adversary die? What am I missing?

Having a sludge monster in play would technically make Toxril worse against like, 50 1/1 squirrels.

45:00 you could've done x=2 and put a slime counter on the angel and gotten in for one more damage.
Indeed!
Can u do a deck with that serpent egg? I've been having trouble trying to get it to work. It's so cool. I wanna combo it with the dragons egg. But keep getting stuck
I made a Grixis list that I like a lot. Sadly, I have 0 Meathooks, because no Mythic WC's, but the concept is the same, but with better removal.
Exactly how many defeats did you edit out of this video? Cause there hasn't been a single time I've managed to keep a creature on the field long enough before my opponent just outright destroys it immediately.
Couldn’t you, at 34:11, put another slime counter on the opponent’s creature to swing for lethal?
That would've been the better play.
I knew this creature combo was gonna be a thing. My favorite highlight is actually how well the sludge monster on its own can put in good work by stripping away key abilities from other creatures as well as stats since when adventures in the forgotten realms was out I didn’t see a lot of people playing it, myself included at the time.

Don’t make your opponents too salty, because it might shrivel your chances of winning. Hur hur.
16:39 Why didnt spellbinder and adversary die?
They're turned into 2/2 creatures by the Monster.
@@LegenVD exactly. I feel the moster isnt so good vs 1 toughfness creatures 🤣
Key thing about the Sludge Monster is the counter does not apply when it leaves the battlefield
Nice job getting off-meta stuff to play well, as usual!
I'm watching Slime Time in Prime Time!
I feel like this deck and the Frogmill deck could combine for some Sultai goodness
I found it's kinda interesting that the 1 toughness creatures can survive for 1 more turn facing both Sludge and Toxrill than only facing Toxrill.
Wouldn’t having both meat hook and sphere of annihilation work ? I get why the hook is popular, but sphere exiles.
Having to wait a turn often makes the difference.
If exiling is important there's Shadow's Verdict.
@@LegenVD 👍
Was hoping you would make a deck with the slug. Really wish I had enough wild cards to make a deck with it. Definitely making one for paper magic though. Thanks for the vid!
Control vs control is pure torture!
Why didn't the spell binder and adversary die in the last turn of that first game? Was it just a glitch because the opponent conceded?
Sludge Monster makes them 2/2.
@@LegenVD Oh yes! Of course it does! thank you.
Snailboy is my new favourite card
I don't get it, how does Toxrill turn the opponent's creatures (like the 4/4 from Mascot exhition) into a 1/1?
With slime monster on the field every slime counter makes a creature into a 2/2 with no abilities. And the slime counters also give -1/-1.
@@schuka1 it took me 5 minutes to work it out even after you explained it. Thank you!
Toxrill is my favorite creature in Vow.
Can you please play more Delina? I've been playing the one version from goldfish you did post but I wonder if there is any other "viable" Delina deck out there!
You have to be a patron to vote on decks. Support him and youre more likely to get your deck played. Plus LVD deserves the support.
"Mascot Exhibition as an extra win condition"
while i love the deck, is there a viable replacement for meathook massacre?
More Crippling Fear and Shadows' Verdict.
what happens if you have two sluge monsters with sluge counters on them?
you have two sludge monsters with counters on them. the text makes Horror's immune. now what happens if you have a croaking clone of sludge monster with a slime counter on it and the original sludgemonster leaves the battle field is a good question
Sludge Monster is a horror, and the ability says "non-horror creatures". So, nothing?
Magic is easy - just topdeck perfectly.. LOL nice deck
Mono white OP missed lethal with their haven plus the sentinel giving the doggo a counter.
You are now officially known in our household as the "on-to-the-next-one guy".
I always feel like Sludge Monsters was a pretty strong card that no one had ever given a second thought about, pretty interesting to see it in action
Ugh...lol just the other day I went on a crafting spree...I almost pulled the trigger on making a few of these...oh well...next time, I'll make a couple
cleave is just kicker...
The skeleton inside the slug token's belly is freaky af.
quite close to how i made this. i had 4 hand hate, 2 liers and 4 divided by zero. no cram session or parasitic grasps tho. quite close. somewhat different balance.
Here for the slime.
Yay whooo
slug token is awesome
I really thought this deck was a meme, but I'm starting to think that in BO3 the slime package might be a good sideboard option.
Wooo!
@19:27 That feeling when you get to grab their Hullbreaker with a discard spell! I HATE THAT CARD
Historic brawl ?
Sludge Monster is actually good, legitimate threat that shuts down other creatures, almost like a 2 for 1. Also, Test of Talents looks like it just absolutely wrecks unsuspecting Epiphanies
Well, this deck usually ends up in some sort of sticky situations
Hi there :)
You want the slime? I'll give ya the slime.
I still don't get it tho. Sludge Monster sets the toughness to 1 on things with slime counters, and Toxrill gives -1/-1. Why doesn't this kill them outright? Why that 1/2 creature became a 2/2 when it got the counter from the sludge Monster?
Sludge monster sets it to 2/2, not 1/1. If Toxrill is also out it will immediately go to 1/1.
Vortek stops it's dead in it tracks because it round down the enemies counters
The green 6/6 4FF trample haste
Vorinclex indeed
just a control deck with insert finisher here
What a Sludge fest against BW!
