  • @AaronRotenberg
    @AaronRotenberg Před rokem +6

    I've frequently found myself exerting Hope Tender and then cycling Vizier to untap the Hope Tender so it can exert again on the same turn, which generates an absolutely silly amount of mana.
    For best-of-3, Pioneer Lotus Field decks usually have Dragonlord Dromoka in the sideboard to help against counterspell decks. Dromoka isn't on Arena, so I've been putting Myrel in that spot instead. You should see control opponents squirm when you cast Myrel after they've boarded out all their creature removal for Dovin's Vetoes.

  • @Thomsco
    @Thomsco Před rokem +4

    The hardest concept for me to grasp when learning Magic was that mana and card advantage are the goal, not damage. This combo would have gone a long way to illustrating that. Great video as always LVD your explanations make watching a repeated combo interesting all the way through

    I'm usually not a fan of combo decks, but this one is so interesting, being my first time seeing a Lotus Field deck.
    I especially love the simplicity of a single land that "just" makes 2 extra mana becoming the centerpiece of the deck and single-handedly breaking the normal rules of the game, similar to Nykthos but somehow more elegant.

    At first I thought that the deck is a little one-sided and vulnerable, but the way you pilot the deck with your limitless expertise made the video incredibly fun to watch! Different options you considered depending on the match-up and the situation at hand really made the deck shine!

  • @parkerdixon-word6295

    I do appreciate a bonkers combo deck that just says "I cast Approach, draw to it, and win the game once I pop off" rather than needing an obscene flurry of triggers to resolve. Opponents don't need to sit and watch in the hopes that you fizzle, but if they choose to watch, it isn't a miserable mess of priority interactions.

    Another one you can do for ultimatum is get both omniscience and one with the multiverse plus your tutor spell to get guaranteed omniscience

    @Not_Morgoth Před 11 měsíci

    I suppose you could use defabricate and discontinuity in this deck to get around the sac triggers on Arena, which is about as many copies you would need to have some consitency with the trick so extra fields aren’t dead in hand.

    • @LegenVD
      @LegenVD  Před 11 měsíci

      Tale's End is probably more versatile, but that's indeed a different way of building around Lotus Field like I mention in the intro.

    What about Fae of Wishes? Is it legal in the format? I got a pioneer precon lotus field combo deck just to have a deck to play and I’ve enjoyed Fae of Woshes going to get Omniscience from the board and other stuff.
    Hidden Strings needs to be released asap.
    Shouldn’t there be a copy of Olniscience in the sideboard?
    I do like Lier in the deck as it makes it so you can get past a control decks counters.

    • @LegenVD
      @LegenVD  Před rokem +1

      Fae is less synergistic with Lier, but it’s certainly an option. The sideboard can be changed quite a bit, I’ve only found myself getting Approach so far.

    My question is for the community: do you think there are any types of decks that are cheap like the people playing it should be ashamed like it's bad for the game of magic? I've seen people complain about decks that are all counter-magic based, or mono-red in standard, or ridiculously slow control/combo decks that take forever to execute like paradox engine decks. The issue I have is that like once we start to define what's a fun/good/healthy magic deck vs. a toxic strategy, I feel we rule out so much of the format.
    here's the latest one I hate--anything with the one ring, like sheoldring in particular

    • @Oxygen1004
