I cannot stress enough, just how much I enjoy you never giving up. You know your decks so well, you're so calm about all situations... you are the Legend
Dear LVD, you are a freaking beast at this game. You amaze me on every single stream. This calm processing of the various options you have to achieve victory in the most dire situations is out of this world. Thank you for those great gameplays you share.
Awesome deck once again and excellently played - thanks for your explanation evaluating the options too! Magic is easy right? Just draw the cards you need😆. Game 1 was brilliant: "We need an arbiter." -> Arbiter. "We need to big score into negate." -> Negate
4:21 - This is a very small nitpick, but I think it's worth it here to consider which card you exile, given that you plan on playing both the Mountain and the Fable from the Iteration. Specifically, if you exile the Fable, you hint to your opponent that you might've missed a land with the Iteration, which could mess with the information they have/think they have.
I believe it should, according to the wording on the card. If there's a ruling about negative power counting as zero, or some errata for that mechanic, I'm unaware of it.
Might be wrong but I don’t think it will. I think all numbers below 0 are treated as 0 for all purposes except for determining if a bunch of positive and negative values will end up resulting in a number above 0.
Turns out I don't own any cards with Training, but I just tested with Mentor (which similarly only works when one creature has less power than another) versus Sparky; a Sunhome Stalwart with Mists of Littjara on it (2 - 3 = -1 power) successfully mentors an Aegis Turtle with Aether Meltdown on it (0 - 4 = -4 power), up until the turtle accumulates enough +1/+1 counters to equalize their power. So I would say negative power/toughness comparisons DO work - at least according to Arena's programming.
@@Dasein23 I feel like Arena tends to be surprisingly thoughtfully programmed even for corner case rules. When I've seen apparent bugs before it has usually turned out "no, that really is the rule". The only ones I recall truly buggy are display bugs, connectivity, etc, but the actual gameplay is correct.
Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is worth savin' And you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin' The Watchman is a great movie. I love this.
So is All-Seeing Arbiter an intentional Manhattan reference? I saw the thumbnail without having seen the card art before and thought LVD might have put it in as a reference, but no, the card just looks like that :)
Was running something similar to your Mardu Reanimator deck, fables, and big chonky bois. A lot of legendaries though, kept the jin's n Blue Legendary dragon, but swapped out for a few more Avatars but also an unexpected all-sstar, Cemetary Desecrator, really pops off with fable, especially as the matchmaker seems to put me against a lot more reanimation, instant speed graveyard shift is a pretty nice bonus.
Oh man I thought that was my computer being shady. I had a blue screen for the first time last week and thought this thing was starting to fall apart...
@@ILikePi31415926535 Clearly you lack a sense of humor in response to joke denial. Also, clearly you could have been nicer but you chose to add a touch of disdain to your comment instead of kindly providing the information. I wonder why... Do you know the reason, by any chance?
When I try to pull some shenanigans like Game 1, hoping to topdeck a negate or discarding a removal spell in hope of drawing a creature, I always end up with a land :( I rarely, if ever, top-deck exactly what I need like Legend
I play this card with croaking counterpart and mirror hall mimic, both work well with the discard mechanic since you can recast them from the grave Edit cause I'm drawing too much with toski
Discard voltage surge to top deck arbiter. Draw negate on opponents turn via 2 card draw effects to prevent lethal damage. Childs play to untapped land and voltage surge from previous video😂
So satisfying watching a Boros burn deck having to play for that long and getting fked at the end, thank you on behalf of the rest of the meta that doesn't play Naya enchantments or Boros burn
Really like the motif of voting on deck ideas. Where can I vote? I'll never vote for blue tempo or azorious control. There's just no requirement of thought or creativity in a deck that has 16 counterspells and otawara or whatever. At least Plow Under does it creatively. Really enjoy your videos for creativity and explanation of deck construction and game decisions
Man… that 1st match… instead of calling yourself legenvd, you should starting thinking of a new nickname. I have a suggestion: “fight rigger” 😂😂😂 jk… but you get the point, right?
LVD never fails to remind us with the beauty of magic: playing for the outs
That play in the first game was beautiful
Man, I literally screamed of joy when you draw that negate on the first match! Thanks for always delivering such epic content
My pleasure!
@@LegenVD honestly same, your brews are 🔥
I also audibly cheered for joy with that sneaky way to get the negate on that first game. Just WOW! Bravo!
That game 1 topdeck is a reminder of why you're the Legend.
I cannot stress enough, just how much I enjoy you never giving up. You know your decks so well, you're so calm about all situations... you are the Legend
LVD is the living embodiment of "call your shots" and "play to your outs."
match 1 is the definition of heart of the cards
Dude you are TRULY something else. Your knowledge and prowess of this game is insane!!!! Keep up the amazing work Luca 😄
This guy top decks exactly what he needs way too often.
I think it’s because he takes calculated risks. He tries to increase his chance of drawing the right card. He also plays… Alot of games.
@@matthewfanous8468 I bet he plays A LOOOOOOOOOOOT of games and just shows the most interesting
most ppl would have baited long b4 in some of those games, so his merit for staying and doing what needs to be done for sure
A lot of people would groan and scream about how unlucky they are if they got the draw that happened in match 4 (flooded quite heavily).
Dear LVD, you are a freaking beast at this game. You amaze me on every single stream. This calm processing of the various options you have to achieve victory in the most dire situations is out of this world. Thank you for those great gameplays you share.
Match 1: That's gotta be an All Time classic!
"Looking for Magic Cards or Magikarps..." I love this intro!

If game 1 wasn't a master class in playing to your outs I don't know what is. Fuckin right on the money, LVD. Beautifully played game.

I was gonna say that too! It’s so small but LVD teaches us that the little things are what make the game when playing at mythic
The very SECOND I read what you named your deck, my mind (without my command) IMMEDIATELY went "HEY, NOW" LMFAOOOOOOO 😂
If a -9 initiate attacks with a -4 initiate will the -9 initiate still train?
I believe it should, according to the wording on the card. If there's a ruling about negative power counting as zero, or some errata for that mechanic, I'm unaware of it.

I was sad when I opened 2 Arbiters. Now, I wanna craft a 3rd! Your deck-building prowess never ceases to amaze me!
Match 1: "Your Go"
RIP
Huh? Where?
Came here to say that. Love seeing it come back to bite them in the ass.
@@SeppukuDoll timestamp?
By the way, the hate is easy.
It was a pleasure to see the first match.
The first match was a pleasure to watch.
Keep it up!
That topdeck!!!! Magic at its finest!
I need an arbiter...OK
I need a negate...ok
Wish I had thar kind of luck
That first game was just insane, can we all agree?
Thanks for the great & original deck, keep up the good work! 😊
Pretty Nice deck! Do you think it would work in best of 3?
The title in the video's thumbnail is perfect XD
That first game though, holy moly
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin'
And you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'

Dude, nice one! This video should just have been named the scoop machine😂😂😂
The shuffler is fine and yet LVD still manages to make it give him what he need when he needs it like damnn
Awesome concept
@ 17:32 why not cast Big Score first?
I liked my hand.
I had a deck with Arbiter and Raffine, they work extremely well together.
Fire and Ice sword sleeves are a nice touch
man that was some nice luck on that negate in match 1!
That's quite a deck, would a few copies of glasspool mimic be appropriate in it?
Has some potential!
What was with the weird black screen in game 7?
Oh man I thought that was my computer being shady. I had a blue screen for the first time last week and thought this thing was starting to fall apart...
speed is the name of the game
I thought the game was called Magic the Gathering 🤔

That scene of you drawing into the negate reminds me why sometimes I absolutely hate Magic the Gathering lmao. But I will always love your content.
Top Deck Master!
epic first game! Insta like except had already liked b4!

Fun deck to watch
LVD is Yami Yugi.
Hey LVD, any chance of some historic content soon?
Or explorer?
what a game 1!

Discard voltage surge to top deck arbiter. Draw negate on opponents turn via 2 card draw effects to prevent lethal damage. Childs play to untapped land and voltage surge from previous video😂
I aspire for this level of play
I drafted Dr M and now try to play it wherever I can :)
Game one God Draw!!!
