That poor first opponent has been hurt before.
We've all been there.
I've played against Mardu cheat-Kroxa-into-play decks like that before, but only in Play queue. I guess Discover combo winter makes the perfect environment for playing that in ranked.
I was down with it till I realized he had 12 copies of the effect. Like, damn
That's how stax players are born
@@kaemonbonet4931 Plus also Archon of Emeria, which isn't even a Hushbringer effect and is just there to hate on Discover.
never got to hear LVD laugh like at 8:25, nice deck!
Such a treat!!!
@@fabianrubio8278 Handsome guy with handsome laugh, gonna love LVD
the first game's end was hilarious, even you didn't see that win coming
The irony of a Spirit Tempo deck using that emote. Yeesh.
Haha seriously what a jabroni
8:25
1x2x2 damage + 1x2x2 damage = 8 damage
8x4 damage = 32 damage
8:15 40 damage to the opponent with 1 black mana (Cut Down)!!!
Finally, some love for Warlock Class! That little enchantment has closed out sooo many games for me in Historic Brawl
I've been playing this deck for the last few days and it is awesome.
Bloodletter is incredible in duplicates. Warlock class is great for card selection and to initiate pings, then the last level is a finisher.
2 Bloodletter with one full Warlock class and a creature dying is 20 life loss. 1*2*2=4 for the end of turn creature dying trigger, then the other end of turn trigger does 4*2*2=16.
And it's all life loss not damage. I've beaten two Nine Lives + Solemnity locks because of that.
WAIT WHAT?!
After coming back to make this comment I realize I've been playing in Historic the last couple days and not Explorer. That's even more ridiculous. It's holding up against an even higher level of decks.
I'm in diamond and I know there's MMR and deck matching at play, but this just blew my mind.
spirit deck player using the zzz emote is hilarious
Gary is my favorite deck to play in Explorer.
Bloodletter has been a welcome addition for sure.
8:16 this damage should be pretty significant *opponent megadies to death*
You slapping up that blue/white spirits opponent was incredibly satisfying! Awesome piloting skills, Luca!!!
Favorite deck because of that first game.
Best card in the deck was clearly Thoughtseize, followed by that Bat. None of those decks could recover from that hand hate
Agressive deck keeping a curve just to have to pass because it got stolen was so painful to watch lol
Gary got Scary with addition of the bloodletter bat
at 19:05 it was probably better to play the murderous rider. Because of the way curious obsession works even if they drew a creature the turn after they could not enchant it because without attacking the enchantment just falls off. but it didn't really matter with how far behind the other play was.
Great video, as always!
Oh nice! This is VERY similar to decklist im using, black devotion is my favourite
45:42 the type of commentary i like. Good games.
love this archetype, thx lvd :-)
You'd think that new roaming throne would combo well with Gary.
Throne doesnt provide devotion tho
@vincentvangoo7078 True but throne makes Gary's ability trigger again.
i think at the end of the last game, the opponent only had one possible play: block with a 4/4 and the 0/2 and sac only lands and the blood token. dont think they saw that xD
I think what would be fun for this deck would be a one-off copy of Torment of Hailfire. You can generate a lot of mana with this deck and while its not the most competitive option, i think getting a commander win in constructed is really funny
Great video as always!
That laugh was perfect!😂
Huge fan of mono black explorer! Can't wait to try this
I'm late to the party but it's always nice to see Explorer gameplay
This has to be one of the more flavorful black decks too -- black devotion, warlock class, doubling down on the Loss of Life strategy, summoning demon vampires and bats and such -- nice
holy heck that first match
That looks like tons of fun. Need to build it in paper for pioneer :)
What an adorable laugh!! Truly ❤️😊
23:31 another interesting Arena glitch: The game ends with Legend gaining 32 life, while the opponent's head explodes with their Sulfuric Vortex in play.
The opponent did not activate the vortex that turn
@@SilverBeamX Yeah, wrong Vortex type.
I was sure I heard Legend called it Sulfuric Vortex somewhere in the video, so I just assumed that's what it was.
@@Xgya2000 sulfuric vortex isn't even on arena haha
First opponent: I made a deck that shut down any ETB effect. I'm tired of losing to that stupid discovery combo deck.
Another guy: Wow that's genius dude.
First opponent: Yes, I know. I want to see how anyone will win against me now.
Another guy: Good, but how do you win?
First opponent: Huh? What do you mean?
Another guy: Well...what is your wincon?
First opponent: Huh?
Another guy: I guess you didn't think things through enough, eh?
I wasn't think about the damage but lol that got me just laughing like lvd
Fun! so maybe even historic playable if you jump through enough hoops?
The first opponent is an example of the MTGA algorithm. Makes no sense that this matchup would happen so quickly otherwise when an opponent somehow has the right "counter cards". IF you play on MTGO vs MTGA you will notice drastic differences in your matchups.
The algo is why I quit playing. If you start to get too many wins you will magically start playing opponents who have the 1 obscure card that recks your entire deck.
Scary Gary
LVD builds a deck based on ETB. Obviously, his first opponent is a deck that shuts off ETBs. That's one of the reasons I've stoped playing Arena... (but I keep watching and liking your videos, though 🙃).
100% agree! It's the reason I quit playing Arena as well. The algo is rigged AF. I just want random, but WoTC needs a way to "reward" their bad players who pay lots of $$$.
Your voice is so relaxing
love this deck, by the way where is the sideboard
Any suggestions for a sideboard for this deck for BO3?
Idk if Cavern of souls is in arena but def should have 2ish copies in the deck in my opinion, ok most creatures in deck don't share a creature type but that's fine you only need it to cast Gary without getting countered, or obliterator worse case scenario you use it's colorless ability to pay for nythkos
8:25 oops killed you
This rules
I'm SO glad that impostor aragorn lost the first game, with that avatar they deserve all the losses in the world.
11:15 How exactly is it 6 extra damage? Should be either 4 or 8 depending on whether having two triggers doubles each other or only doubles the original damage twice.
It's visually confusing, but 2+6=8 still adds up.
They're not actually triggered abilities but the animation doesn't seem to happen all at once.
its 2*2*2, 8, or 2 plus 6 extra.
Dat hate bears deck tho
Bloodghast
Sideboard recommendations?
Meathook, more spot removal, things along the lines of Noxious Grasp & Ray of Enfeeblement that come in vs certain colors, some grave hate like Hearse or Cling to Dust, Duress & Fenlurker for control, ...
Thanks legenvd! I'll try it out
I'll need to try with glistening deluge until I have some wild cards
WTF was that first deck, holy shit.
It was the “don’t discover combo me, bro” deck
What's this about me?
this card is so confusing
First
I crafted a couple of cards to try it and I must it's an absolute garbage. I have no idea why but the shufflers seems to bug the fuck out of this deck for whatever reason. On 30 games, I had 5 games with 4 nikdos in around 20 cards. Sometimes 3 in the starting hand and 2 in a row are between rare and common. I have NEVER seen that in my entire magic career. I play a lot of monogreen devotion and that must have happened maybe 1/500 games to have 3 nikdos. Never seen 4 EVER.
Also all games are pretty much over before you get your devotion going so yeah.
Sheoldred is much better than obliterator and also fatal push over cut down
Played 50 more games with it, plenty more games with triple nikdos in a row from the shuffler. Don't craft this deck.
How does a vampire dragon work?
