True, I wanted to play the other one cause it didn't need many rare wildcards, but didn't really like the way it played. This is a little homage to astral slide and I love it
Hey LVD! I got 2nd place by like 0.2 points tonight at my local FNM thanks to the advice and tips I've gotten from your videos. I'm running my own brew of Golgari Adventures and that deck is value city! I love your content and have started watching all of the vids on the channel at work to get better at Standard. (I'm mostly a Commander player.)
Greatly enjoy the channel and the content, appreciated. I've been running this deck (minus a few of the rare lands) for a few hours now in Standard BO1 in Platinum and it struggles to hold a 50% win rate. It is very vulnerable to Planeswalkers (Narset & Ashiok, I am looking at you in particular) and red aggro and you need a really good draw the first 4-5 turns to get the engine firing. If you are still alive on turn 5 it gets better and better as the games go on. edit - the more I play it , the more finicky it is and it's win rate goes lower.
@@LegenVD Thanks for the suggestion. I did try swapping for Storm's Wrath but didn't make much difference I found. The games with Narset invariably have Teferi as well and it is hard to recover the turns it takes without being able to cycle before being able to deal with her. :) It definitely needs the rare lands which I don't have enough of , there isn't time on turn 4 to play a dual land that has to come in tapped in a lot of the games.
When I first saw zenith protocol I figured it was for mutate synergy. You mutate a bunch onto one guy, cycle (in limited) and then get a bunch of blockers all at once fizzling any removal. Or for lumbering battlements to retrigger etbs and get a big board kinda like a bad yorion.
Strange choice in the first match when he uses his black mana to dead weight his own scorpion [at 11:26] rather than ghostform Lurrus when he knows you have flare and shatter in hand.
nice deck. the regular boros cycling deck is something i kinda like, although i usualy despise all the meta decks that every player copy-pastes from the internet. but i would still feel like a bitch if i played it, so i splashed some blue for ominous seas to get all those sweet krakens with all the cycling. and to occasionally cast boon of the wish giver in the late game if there's the chance, so more kraken counters. i know, far from a competitive deck, but who cares, i just play it with friends
and people keep saying cycling is a brain-dead deck..... this deck showcases perfectly how cycling is a great mechanism outside the usual put a fox on the field cycle until you drop, wait for zenith....
With a whopping 90% hit rate, Augur of Bolas has finally found a home in Standard !
I always liked augur but it felt a little underwhelming in most decks, but It fits really well here. Thanks LVD for the deck.
I sure love playing Augur to put 2 Phoenix on the bottom 🙃 (or lands when I’m screwed)
you made the most deceivingly good card in magic actually good
@@hankravich8495 They should have made Winota like Augur, where she can only draw from the top 3 cards. Would have been so more balanced as a card
You are always up to the task of building a deck around a card which otherwise wouldn't have any use. I really appreciate that.

I even read it in the voice haha, golden comment
Hey, LVD, Congrats on your new sponsor! You're one of my favorite content creators, and it's really nice to see you getting some love from sponsors!
This is a cycle deck I actually want to play. Well done!

Late-congrats! 🥳
Really excited you got Channel Fireball, congrats man
18:45 Stone cold killer.
Wow, this deck is awesome! Was getting tired of playing the standard cycling deck at this point, so this seem perfect! Thanks man! :D
Nice a cycling deck that's not boring. Thanks for the vid.
Been having fun playing this deck. Thanks!
That was a heck of a war of attrition in that first matchup. It was very well matched
Zenith flares animation is so satisfying

Like most control decks it thrives in the late game. Can always try Storm's Wrath to help with Narset.

U are the Best ! :)
Big brain deck! Nice one
I saw a pretty spicy version of this played by Saffron Olive that blinked frilled Mystic in order to have unlimited counterspells
Playing green on a cycling deck is ask too much.
@@joseluki Why? All those cycling cards do not care what color you use to cycle them.
I've been having a lot of fun with that deck; I guess after the bans the agent could be replaced with meteor golem
@@joseluki That doesn't make sense. You only need one white and one red for Zenith flare, to cycle the cards you don't play colored mana.
@@jfb- meteor golem is way too fair of a card

This is awesome!

A nice orginal deck ... change is good :P
this is a pretty interesting deck
wanted to build a gyruda escape mill deck
just added 3 copies of omnious seas to this build, doubles the value of Go for Blood
If only Augur hit enchantments.
I’m telling you guys.... zenith flare is the new plague 😂
I was admittedly rooting for the other side in that first game.
and people keep saying cycling is a brain-dead deck..... this deck showcases perfectly how cycling is a great mechanism outside the usual put a fox on the field cycle until you drop, wait for zenith....
Aaaand this deck sucks. 1-8 in ranked queue
I used Protocol for Endless Lock with Frilled Mystic
Sooooo evil!!! Completely genius!
Did you just get partnered with CFB? :D
Two limited videos in one day? You spoil us
