On the turn where, you played the primeval titan and it was unholy heated, if you fetched the sunken citadel and a castle garenbrig, you could’ve played the second titan from your hand that same turn
I agree, though I get where the other way comes from, just look at Necropolis. No one says Necro polis. But people do say Necro mancy English ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Claudius_47Because you shouldn't follow the "necro" prefix, but the second half of the word. Anything ended in "-mancy" is spelled the same way (geomancy, pyromancy...). Now look at words that end in "-potence" (omnipotence, unipotence).
@@Claudius_47 My guess is it's because a "Necropolis" is a place while "Necromancy" is an action/idea and I don't fully know "Necropotence" means so idk
@@HarverTheSlayer neologisms don't have to follow any rules that existing words happen to follow. Words are pronounced the way people pronounce them, is the only real rule.
Fantastic gameplay as always, the first time I faced this deck in arena some of the lands made me scratch my head, it took me two seconds to realise why they're there. It's a tiny bit sad to see the timeless meta get defined. Of course its the natural path of any game but it was a lot of fun to see a format at its birth with endless possibilities.
Alth is my goto, VD you are my goto very very closely second. His deck was bo3 i love this BO1, im a BO1 player, thanks dude. i was on holiday in Thailand when his came out thought cant wait to get back home (uk) and try it BO1 but youve made if for me, back today 29th, gonna try this BO1, before i went 7 dec was high diamond with the Quint combo deck. Few days left for mythic.
@@skipper7152yeah, it hurts. I spent so many wild cards on fetches, and yet I need more for shocks and fast lands, without even going into the actual deck 😓
Had one in the works a while back but the manabase was tricky to figure out. Having enough basics for Flare while having different names for Field clashes a bit.
The way this deck ramps it's often able to cast Titan by the time it could cast Golos. Ring doesn't really solve any major weaknesses of the deck, since we're happy playing longer games as is.
@@LegenVDmuch appreciated. Thought I should come back and mention that I had been playing it as you have it but ended up making 2 minor adjustments that I thought I’d mention since they’ve helped. I added 2 uros and 1 more radiant fountain. The little bit of extra life gain has really helped me. Sometimes all you really need is that 1 additional turn to close out and it’s helped
23:17 I've always wondered why it's better to fetch utility lands rather than just grabbing 2 extra fields in this position. It happens in arena all the time and then you get to just thoughtseize the secondary threat. Is the intent to play around them not having the thoughtseize?
been playing with this deck for the last couple days and it's quite strong... I have a little over 53% win rate with it in more than 50 matches, so might not be doing so well with this list as it's my first time playing Timeless and a Titan/Field deck, but the meta seems to be prepared and blood moon is a PITA
The concept of a land-based strategy is interesting, but even when piloted by an expert like LVD, it seems kinda weak. As a slow combo deck, it gets run over without the nut draw and has to avoid bo3 for the silver bullets. Maybe they'll do an anthology for timeless and we can see some Marit Lage action.
I probably ran into this in timeless play que. Opoonent had the garden, field, stomping ground and battlement for lands so I assume it was this and that mix of land made it feel weak . But then again I had Omniscence out on Turn 3 and was able to do the whole Scholar of The Lost Trove/Sublime Epiphany looping till I cast Time Warp to win so maybe not the best game to judge
Instead of tutoring Cinder Glade Battlements you should tutor Sunken Citadel Battlements By taking Sunken Citadel it makes it more effective if you tutor Arch Field because citadel is good with arch. It also empowers your gates when you fetch them later
Decided to build the deck, I love titan. I'm like 1-7. No misplays, simply ran over by counter spells and other degenerate shit in the format that's faster than 2/2s in combat on turn 4-6. Rip wildcards.
Well, this is rather common when it comes to "all eggs in one basket" type of combo decks like this one. If you don't get what you need to win relatively early on, you're screwed against fast decks. And since many players are aware of this as well, that's where the hand hate part comes in. Hell, you just needs to look at those Rakdos Tendrils decks that appear in the video, that are getting way too close to the dreaded ANT decks of many years ago that would steal 0-turn wins in Legacy. It has less to do with "modern magic" and more to do with "eternal formats combining the best and the worst of every era".

Good point!
I remember how that land existed in the same standard as Scapeshift. Love these "green" zombies! Haha awesome job as usual Luca 😊
It's one thing to play a powerful robust deck.
It's another thing when you can pilot it expertly! As always, incredible gameplay.
Ah yes green, my favorite zombie deck color.
Golgari approves.
I don't play a lot of green but I love Hanweir Battlements!
Always Necro potence ALWAYS!

This seems like a simple deck I'd love to try but oh my stars that wildcard cost! D:
The fetches, all the fancy lands. :(
Yeah this is a rares only kind of format
I feel you, had to use my last mythic wildcards on Natural Order.
@@LegenVD I was excited when i saw a deck i might be able to play, then as i looked over the land base i definetly sunk a little.

This deck is bonkers. Sweet video. Great content as always bro. Thanks.
This is just straight up Hulk SMASH!!!
Hey Legend
How about updating the deck with flair of cultivation and archdruids charm?
Had one in the works a while back but the manabase was tricky to figure out. Having enough basics for Flare while having different names for Field clashes a bit.
Ran into a similar list on ladder and was interested. It included One Ring and Golos in it. Did you try those versions out? Any thoughts?
The way this deck ramps it's often able to cast Titan by the time it could cast Golos.
Ring doesn't really solve any major weaknesses of the deck, since we're happy playing longer games as is.

Do you think Golos, Ugin and The One Ring fit well into this deck?
Holy Christmas 🎉

With double Castle in play and another Forest in hand we needed more differently named lands to enable Field of the Dead.

Awesome video!
Keep seeing these sleeves. Are they rotated through the shop?
These were from the Kaldheim mastery pass, may be in the daily deals again at some point or perhaps as a random reward.
Why are you not using resolve all button when you dont want to react? You like clicking? :D
Cavern of Souls one of to stop Censor and countermagic perhaps? D'oh you dod have one good idea

Came here for the zombies. Stayed for the lands.
Hey, regular viewer here, just wondering if you have any izzet decks in the pipeline?
Posted Izzet Phoenix on the MTGA channel the other week. No other izzet decks built atm.

I'm always glad when Ramp does well in an eternal format, even when it has to do some pretty big stretches to get there.
Its pronounced necropotence, not necropotence

Timeless looks like an amazing format! Are there any decks with a low number of rare/ mythic cards that are viable?
Red deck wins
@@DoctorJango thanks!
Why don’t you use chalice? The deck has no counter to storm and the 1 drops aren’t that essential beyond turn 1/2
Would be more of a sideboard card, could be decent in some matchups.
You need craterhoof behemoth in case u facing mirror green titan

Instead of tutoring Cinder Glade Battlements you should tutor Sunken Citadel Battlements
By taking Sunken Citadel it makes it more effective if you tutor Arch Field because citadel is good with arch. It also empowers your gates when you fetch them later
Hello
Decided to build the deck, I love titan.
I'm like 1-7. No misplays, simply ran over by counter spells and other degenerate shit in the format that's faster than 2/2s in combat on turn 4-6. Rip wildcards.
Might need to mulligan more if you feel like the deck isn't fast enough.
Bro really put in that subliminal messaging
"Necropotence" is a fantasy word, so any phonetically plausible pronunciation is as valid as any other.
I guess I can see why MTGA EDH has Field of the Dead banned lol x
Titan Zombieland
sup
No way is necrawpittance the correct pronunciation
Nah it’s “Neck-row-poe-tense” they’re wrong and I don’t care about words like Necropolis, doesn’t have to be a firm rule
for an 11 day old video... hasn't necropotence been banned/not-legal in like.. every format??? what format do you play where people play banned bs?
Timeless is a new format where everything is legal and only three cards are restricted.
Deck is totally busted
No matter where I go. There has to be a boring person playing Elf's
That's gotta be tough, going to the bathroom? Someone playing elves. Gas station? There's Marwyn. grocery store? Yep there's someone playing elfball
We're all pretty boring for playing with digital cardboard
bUt thE TOkeNs
not knowing format before clicking is annoying ... :/
I hate this deck
it is one thing to net deck a degenerate deck and it is another to post it to youtube so more players play it
Modern magic is so boring....zero interaction except hand hate and your only decision is "is my opening hand broken enough".
well it depends what format you playing. this is timeless so a broken opening hand is pretty common
@@Mpg0907 yep, understood. Standard has been moving this way for awhile, though clearly not like this
this has almost always been the case for mono-green decks, it's not a color known for its finesse and many varied playstyles.
Yawn this comment is boring.
