I wonder if beledros witherbloom might work in this deck, with so many tap lands entering the battlefield being able to untap them could make for a surprise win
Fun deck but holy cow this is why I don’t even casually play historic. It’s almost always a incredibly low to the ground combo deck I’m matched into with my casual deck
I haven't watched the video all the way through yet, but the last five non-brawl videos you've mentioned orcish Bowmasters in the deck-tech and are yet to actually face them. Hopefully we'll get to see them today!
I love that you and Jim Davis both released this deck within the same week. My favorite deck has 100% winrate against this one, so it's nice to see it popularized 😂
Hello guys, one question: i wanna play this game in "real life" :D and the 3 gates from the set "Alchemy horizon Baldur´s gate" ("gate to seatower",...) aren´t available to buy because the set is exclusively for MTG Arena, any suggestions how to replace these cards? Thanks!!
I like how i was like "big fucking deal, you can find two lands" and then im like "ANY land, ohhhh 👀👀". Its these kinda details that i dont get past platinum lol
Triggers go on the stack for active players first, so the non-active triggers would resolve first. Although pretty sure we would win before ever drawing cards as that's part of the effect from Maze's End.
9:09 The game was even trying to give you Gates Ablaze if you went for the more conservative Explore instead! lol Match 8 was 7 minutes of 2 players playing a single player game. I'm surprised people manage to enjoy that.
Feels like even in bo1 we cant focus on just the ramp. Perhaps toolbox cards like TOR or karn are also not the right answer but it seems like every circuitous route and every other guildpact was too slow.
Would it be possible to replace red with black? You could get a generic black sweeper, and sure gates ablaze can do a lot of damage but it rarely feels relevant, and it would let you run something like thoughtseize or bowmasters to interact with combo decks
I think the deck will inherently struggle against any faster combo decks. Splashing for black feels more like a band-aid than an actual solution, without pressure to close out games that disruption is minimal. Ramp decks need ramp cards and payoffs so there's no room for a lot of other interaction.
Why are you allowed to decline the Maze's End Gate searching ability? Is there some quirk of the templating that makes it optional? I had assumed it was compulsory since there is no "may" wording involved.
@@LegenVD yup, as long as there is a characteristic to the search. If it's for any card (e.g. Demonic Tutor) you do have to find something (if you have cards in your library). But if the search has a qualifier (e.g. Maze's End with Gate) you can fail to find them.
@@LegenVD Ah I didn't realize that. So essentially, since the opponent can't know that you have a valid card in your deck, you get to choose whether you find something or not?
I built some where jaanky golos deck with all the gates. The mana base was horrible 😢😢😢every land came in tapped, and haf only tapped for one mana type 😭😭😭😭
Like the other guy was saying it's not as bad in best of 3 with sideboarding. The one ring has made some of these combo decks like the paradox engine ones much stronger, the one ring in general has made the format much worse, we'll see how long it takes before it gets banned in modern and historic. That being said I agree and enjoy explorer/pioneer more.
Well, thankx for the deck but thanx for nothing. Been playing this deck for 4 hours and over 20 games but I am still plantinum 4....sadge..still a fun deck if you can get the maze's end win. Back to Rakdos Ring to maybe get to diamond. Keep up the good work! Greetings from the Netherlands!
That one guy that keeps asking for a prime time deck is gonna be happy
YES HELLO I AM VERY HAPPY LMFAOOOOOOO XD
@@CyberBuster93 vibes of this comment are amazing lol
I’m an absolute lover of these “put a bunch of things into play and win” decks. ❤❤❤
I enjoyed playing the game at 11:24 with you. Thank you for the great content!
Thanks for the game!
OMG, YES FINALLY!! THANK YOU LUCA!!!! THIS DECK IS AWESOME AS HELL!
8:33 Jarsyl is really excited to go for the throat
I absolutely LOVED playing these guildgate decks when they were standard legal, nice to see a card added to Arena that synergizes well with them!
Another daily post of LVD provides a lot of value.
I'll never get used to that goofy intensity animation, it looks like Jarsyl is saying "yeah, go get'em!"
16:07 we have a new mill win animation :0
first game was SICK!! total nailbiter!! premium content
This is so nostalgic for me. I started following Magic: The Gathering back during Guilds of Ravnica block. So for me, this IS Magic.
"If we don't win this game, then our deck's just bad."
Lmfao thats what I say all the time with my brews xD
I admire the patience to watch a paradox-engine player playing solitaire.
Open the gates of value, an a-maze-ing deck.
I wonder if beledros witherbloom might work in this deck, with so many tap lands entering the battlefield being able to untap them could make for a surprise win
He be out of color for the deck
Too costly, and without a ramp, Beledros would be a turn-8 play. Realistically, the only meaningful interaction of her with gates is Gates Summit.
Fun deck but holy cow this is why I don’t even casually play historic. It’s almost always a incredibly low to the ground combo deck I’m matched into with my casual deck
Yea, literally just a waste if time trying.
@@WormHunter Hard agree.
In BO3 it's healthier. But you have to like black, thoughtseize, orc bowmaster, sheoldred and ring :D
@@Tobitake You don't even need the rares for thoughtsieze, there's duress at common.
That I'd best of 1 period, no side board rewards doing the most degenerate thing you can muster.
It’s videos like this that make you glad Paradox Engine is banned in commander
Yessssss, I love the guildgates!!!❤

Yoooo they showed up!

That mill matchup was brutal.
This titan card has made gates OP
I was on the fence about buying the new anthologies, but brining back the old gate deck might tip me over the edge.
Gates has been a solid T2 deck since the Baulders Gate set got added.
can update your Kiln Fiend Aggro - Historic - MTG Arena
for fast dailies ?
Which new cards would you include?
@@MultiJoeKerr dont know. lots wizard cards have some from lotr. so my WR bit low now, before lotr 70%. now already 65% for 1000+ games.
I’ve been using this, can still be updated with Lotr cards like Firebrand:
Deck
4 Kiln Fiend (JMP) 338
4 Dreadhorde Arcanist (WAR) 125
2 Reckless Charge (MH1) 144
4 Crash Through (M21) 140
2 Warlord's Fury (DAR) 151
4 Unleash Fury (M21) 170
4 Play with Fire (MID) 154
18 Mountain (ANA) 7
4 Infuriate (THB) 141
4 Soul-Scar Mage (AKR) 175
2 Shock (STA) 44
4 Ancestral Anger (VOW) 142
4 Monastery Swiftspear (BRO) 144

Primeval titan is the center of a combo deck in modern, titan getting any lands is a very powerful combo
Love a good gates deck
FINALLY A MAZE DECK
He had another one a few months back
Who would have won the first game? Shouldn't the triggers from sheoldred from the summits resolve before the 10 gates one?

I'm a simple man. I see gates, I like.
Maybe the one ring will finally push wizards to ban paradox engine in every format

Not sure whether its worth buying the historic anthology bundle just for the titan?

Whenever you search with any effect you can "fail to find".

I've found that a control gates list does better than the versions trying to attack with ram and friends
Yeah, with PrimeTime it really doesn't need Ram anymore
@@TheEvolver311 not even sure I want to be on prime time over golos.
Fast howdy
I love lvd more than my nonexistent wife
When is the Xenagos brawl deck coming out? 🤓
Soon!
Can u do omanth tribe or commander
Historic just seems SO FUN 🙄
Yep, sure beats playing against Rakdos, Azorious Control and Mono-Green over and over in Explorer
It might be time to ban paradox engine in Historic, that card is always an issue waiting to happen.
Well first 3 games were all mill for me.
MVC only a six out or ten 😔
Historic doesn't seem as fun as explorer. Just everyone playing solitaire for their early combo.
that's BO1, in BO3 it's not the same (thx to sideboards)
Like the other guy was saying it's not as bad in best of 3 with sideboarding. The one ring has made some of these combo decks like the paradox engine ones much stronger, the one ring in general has made the format much worse, we'll see how long it takes before it gets banned in modern and historic.

At the end of the video I conclude the deck isn't competitive. They can't all be top tier!
Love your videos UwU could you try an alchemy deck? OwO
😊
man, that deck in game 4 just included all of the worst parts about Magic lol
This is why I don't play Historic. This meta is obnoxious
4 losses in one video? This deck is terrible!
These paradox deck are boring af
Paradox engine decks are so trash, so unfun
