Stone Brain and Return the Favor. Also The End and Deadly Cover-Up. There's an opponent who's very sick of Temur Analyst.
Aye, I've seen a few people just snap off the stone brain naming analyst when I play my temur deck. Then they stare mesmerized at my deck comprised of 36 wincons with many 1-ofs to synergize with Radagast the Brown.
Someone hurt them ….
@@kharnthebetrayer1575 its actually a common control deck in alchemy, funny enough (except the stone brain). Since 99% of the meta is to run 9 nazguls, sheoldred and ring, everyone also runs The End and Cover-Up.
@@metalhev3989 don’t play that , don’t like the format . It ruined historic….

Starting off with beating up on mono red, LVD knows his audience. Provides a lot of value.
Legend really taught me that every deck and color can be fun, engaging and rewarding if played correctly
LOVE midrange strategies so much! My favorite archetype!
Also find it weird that the weird is wearing a hat. A weird weird LOL xD
Excellent deck
20:55 - Return the Favor still has to make sure the new targets are legal when those are redirected. The bat can only target an opponent, and you still control it after Return the Favor resolves, so you're completely safe.
I'm not 100% sure about this one, but the "copy target ability" mode should still fail to exile a card because the exiled card is tied to the bat itself being on the battlefield as a permanent, but the opponent doesn't control the permanent tied to the ability. In theory, they would be simply able to look at your hand. If anyone knows this interaction more in detail, feel free to correct me!
I LOVE the design of Return the Favor but in short, here it doesn't really do much.
32:30 the knight can't block the skulk prodigy
Indeed, my mistake!
This deck seems like so much fun to play!
Personally I’d put Three Steps Ahead as an answer for boardwhips. March of the swirling mist also works. But Three Steps Ahead can give you card draw.
Counterspells are certainly an option, although Eidetic Memory and Ledger Shredder really reward you for playing in your own turn.
mono red is so funny like "how dare you gain life in my presence! concede!!"
Love this deck
Nice deck.
Is there a discord server for this channel?
Yes, through Patreon!
@32:24 would the dreadknight be able to block the prodigy? Maybe I don’t understand how Skulk works
You're right, it would not, so could've attacked!
Skulk doesn't show up too often for good reason 😅
I’ve been trying to find a prodigy + eidetic memory deck for a while, might try this out thanks
This just in: drawing extra cards is good. 😂
When LVD says "Don't hate my spot," you've already lost
Legend !
Which card would you recommend to replace Ledger Shredder for? That is one I'm missing.
You could try Evangel of Synthesis.
There's really no replacement for Shredder. Its pretty much the bane of monored.
If you want the nutty version of proft/duelist, try an all-in combo/aggro list with Training Grounds + Hypnotic Grifter + Harrier Strix, it can use stuff like omen hawker/enigma jewel/reality chip. Having a turn where you draw/discard 7 cards, put 7x counters on grifter, put 7x counters on strix, turn duelist into an 8/3
I'm kind of surprised Shoot the Sheriff hasn't been mixed in or replaced Go for the Throat's slot - I feel like I see artifact creatures way more often than anything that's an outlaw in Standard at the moment.
I was curious so looked up the 50 most played creatures in Standard, 8 of them were mercenaries whereas only one was an artifact (Yotian Frontliner). Cards that make tokens complicate things a little more, but I'm still on a full set of Go for the Throat before the first Shoot the Sheriff.
Honestly I haven't mixed it into my decks yet out of laziness and fear that I'm going to fire it off on an outlaw without realizing. Not looking forward to checking every single creature's type.
Been playing a similar deck with lord skitter and pile on. I've also been using the siren for another one drop, but I should try cutting it
I like SIren if you're also running Gix.
I was thinking of adding Faerie Mastermind to this deck but I don’t really know what to take out.
I think that temporary lockdown will blow up this deck…
lol, it's amazing how often content creators go first in their videos. ;p
I never read these comments when I'm on the draw in a majority of my games, so it's likely confirmation bias.
Match 3 was a PhD course on playing against mono red in standard
great!
cool deck tech, sunfall loves it
Would be Faerie Vandal a good match for this deck?
When you cast cut down on restless vents game 4, I thought you'd get return the favored
32:37 Ingenious Prodigy can get past Mosswood Dreadknight because of Skulk.
Indeed!
LVD is making Deep Cavern Bat look busted when its an extremely fair card
Dimir without counterspell. That something
Drawing cards not good enough? Here have some +1+1 counters as well!
IT'S TIME TO D-D-D-D-D-D-DUEL!!! XD
I play a similar build but no prodigy and I instead play 2 sheoldred and 2 avarice.
5:50 thats too BAT
how is this vs boros?anyone tried it out?
Definitely a harder matchup than monored, although there's a lot fewer Boros decks compared to a month ago.
I made an okinec standard brawl deck that had a lot in common with that bant artifact deck, fun synergies. Standard brawl allows a lot of creativity right now as the 99 in (h)brawl are getting more and more homogeneous
Need 2 copies of step between worlds for a game ender with proft
Could be fun for slower matchups!
@LegenVD It's fun resolving it when you have a sheoldred out.
i got 4 temporary lockdown matchups in a row... that card kills the whole deck :(
Wish I could break down old decks to craft new ones. As it stands, Arena is too p2w for me. I don't grind enough to have the wildcards.
Legen... Wait for it.... VDary...
Yes I went there. The algorithm loved it and so does Barney.
prodigy + Memory + beans + new hydra = not nice
bro this is literally almost my exact deck
Can you please play draft
Check out Paul Cheon on CZcams.
@@LegenVD thanks!

How much Mono Red can people play ... sadenng considering Magic has so many fun ways to be played.
How long will you keep pointing out the obvious
@@honestabe411 till all the plebs show their existence. Your one of them? Shame yourself
I guess you're too young for Fallout Boy "thx 4 the mmrs"! RIP video title!
The thing that is really broken with this card is the color pie. Vigilance on a mono blue creature (and the new BG MH3 Wight of Reliquary) is designers admitting they don't care anymore.
Good Morning Magic's "Why does Blue get Vigilance Now? | Magic: The Gathering Outlaws of Thunder Junction MTG" video gives an actual reason why... blue gets vigilance now, Gavin Verhey being the principal designer.
Green has always had vigilance and i think it makes sense in blue as well. They’re both in white’s “shard” after all
Green gets vigilance...though I will say it's a bit awkward on BG specifically.
Blue gets vigilance now though..? It's not a color pie break; it's a shift in design philosophy, which happens ALL the time. Blue used to be secondary in direct damage, for example.
Vigilance as part of blue debuted with Haunting Figment. Some old cards were...ahead of their time.
And it’s almost always blue that gets some BS reason to break color pie.
@@johndoe9343 Watched it, and while I get where they are coming from, blue has tons of keywords already. I'd rather have them experiment or evergreen something already existing (investigate?).
