Probably higher than we’d think. If your career is based on playing Magic Arena, you play thousands of games, which increases the likelihood of playing another RUclipsr by quite a bit. But the odds are still against you.
It's extremely unlikely that you'd face up against CGB in any given game; but the idea that you'd face someone you know, in some random game eventually, is pretty danged high once you get enough games in.
I have faced CBG, LegenVD, Sonio, Ash, Sloth this past year. I must have the right MMR every season. Or I play every day all day and always get to numbered mythic.
I've been subbed to both Legenvd and CGB for years now and seeing them randomly face off against each other with Legends "a familiar opponent" is just chefs kiss. Definitely had a big stupid smile on my face.
49:53 Seems like both cards are exiled (by twins effect and rebound), the game is coded to return all creatures exiled when this effect resolves to the battlefield at the end of the turn. Definitely a bug to be squashed! Very good video (as usual)
Great to see this deck and something different in standard. Didn't know about this interaction and looks good. Also nice to see a guest appearance from CGB; probably my second favourite MTG content creator.
The mad lad running a build where 4x Meeting of Minds is so strong, besides the cool points. LVD straight savage featuring an otherwise innocuous common
10:40 spacejam and using the removal in combat seems like a stronger play there IMO; they are tapped out and forced to block so there's no chance of a blowout, and you could get everything to trade downwards in the best scenario and have an open board for lethal next turn.
With the right read and block here, opp could end at 6 HP and anim + dennick still on board vs 3 fewer creatures on Legend's side. Although Legend would have 6 flying next turn to go over top - I guess only some very specific draws that might not exist would save opp. Still, knowing that deck runs very little if any removal and definitely no sweepers, sitting on board with virtue (with backup/second one in exile) until fully lethal attack is an even more guaranteed win, no math required.
Anim, Samut, Adeline and Hanna and Alana seem spicy, if I had the rare wild cards I’d suggest the deck. You can add Sigarda font of blessing to cast humans from the top of your deck and give hexproof to your permanents
Do you think like 1 or 2 Lier would be good in this deck? Considering he works with Adventure Instants/Sorceries prevents you from getting countered and though he doesn't rebound from the grave they still will go to the adventure zone getting more use out of them. Maybe for a late game assist.
@LegenVD if I had the wild cards I might build this and try it out but alas I never have any cards for decks. That is why I am happy for content like yours that I can live vicariously through
in the first game how did the opponent have more than one legendary on the board? am i stupid or am i just realizing now that you can have more than one legendary creature on the board as long as its not the same card / name? so you can have anim pakal halana and alena and sovereign of okinec and a god or two
Last match when they Brutal Cathar'ed your God couldn't you use Twining Twins to flicker your own God causing BC to fizzle? Seems like a better play than using it on their Spellbook Vendor.
curious to see how this can be abused in self mill simic deck using virtue of strength, if you can cheat god out with virtue on 5 mana, running a deck with a lot of basic lands... could be pretty fun to actually have that kind of value that early on
It's much better to watch you play than play this game. When I make a deck around a card I put 4 copies of it without thinking twice and then i go 5 games in a row without seeing it.
“Facing a familiar opponent” had me dead, what are those odds
Suck it CGB. Probably blaming going second as to why he lost.

I crapped myself the first time it happened. Or at least the first time I saw it. I think he was still Daniel Wagner back then.
Same.

Love the crossover episode
never have i heard LVD say the words "pretty epic" in the opening sentence
LVD loves his epoch puns
LVD with his new dictionary...😂❤
Sweet deck. Really cool interactions. Top quality content as usual from a master of his craft. Thanks.
Love seeing you go against CGB! You are my two favorite MTG youtubers.
Only other standard streamer I follow. CGB loves LVD, as well. He's shouted some deck concepts he got from him before.
Same here. Hopefully we get to see the game from CGB's side too.
it's up on his channel yup @@stfletch
Such a good sport. You're a gentleman and a scholar, and there are our very few of us left.
Really smart way to build this. I had no idea it would work that way with adventures. “Very epic” indeed kind sir. Great job as always!
I love your videos. Good decks, good gameplay. Everything is explained. What more could you ask for.
CGB takes the L. Provides a lot of value
That Kitesail Larcenist card is so good.
Great to see this deck and something different in standard. Didn't know about this interaction and looks good. Also nice to see a guest appearance from CGB; probably my second favourite MTG content creator.
Glad to see Aether Channeler getting some love in standard
Underrated card for sure
That game with CGB is also on his video. Super cool to see the game from both perspectives.
Omg, kudos on finding this. I'd never know you could cheat adventures like that
The mad lad running a build where 4x Meeting of Minds is so strong, besides the cool points. LVD straight savage featuring an otherwise innocuous common
Azorius without sweepers, counters, and not only solders and humans, but actually legit deck. Love it! Keep shaking up the meta, LVD!
Amazing deck well made 👍
I tried something similar with izzet and the virtue of courage. Lots of fun and great video!
Evangelist was really impressive. It out in a ton of work for a pretty unassuming card.

so satisfying seeing you kicking CGB's a** haha
Genius deck from a genius. Great idea!
Kudos to CGB for trying merfolk and getting beat up for LVD content!
Anim, Samut, Adeline and Hanna and Alana seem spicy, if I had the rare wild cards I’d suggest the deck. You can add Sigarda font of blessing to cast humans from the top of your deck and give hexproof to your permanents
CGB conceding instead of letting damage happen does not surprise me.
It was pleasing to see the best player win, that's for sure
😂
I would love to see this in a Temur shell. THE VALUEEEEE.
Do you think like 1 or 2 Lier would be good in this deck? Considering he works with Adventure Instants/Sorceries prevents you from getting countered and though he doesn't rebound from the grave they still will go to the adventure zone getting more use out of them. Maybe for a late game assist.
Possibly! Might need a few more Considers for it to be worth it.
@LegenVD if I had the wild cards I might build this and try it out but alas I never have any cards for decks. That is why I am happy for content like yours that I can live vicariously through
10:39 why not attack with the team and then use soul after they set up the blocks?
in the first game how did the opponent have more than one legendary on the board? am i stupid or am i just realizing now that you can have more than one legendary creature on the board as long as its not the same card / name? so you can have anim pakal halana and alena and sovereign of okinec and a god or two
Not me seeing CGB's perspective earlier today :D
What an interesting deck
Last match when they Brutal Cathar'ed your God couldn't you use Twining Twins to flicker your own God causing BC to fizzle? Seems like a better play than using it on their Spellbook Vendor.
During my own games whenever my opppnent concedes, like clockwork I hear; " and our opponent explodes... awesome" in my head 😂😂😂
14:40 it looks to me like you have 4 mana to pay for Make Disappear, am I missing something?
LVD vs CGB match 2!
curious to see how this can be abused in self mill simic deck using virtue of strength, if you can cheat god out with virtue on 5 mana, running a deck with a lot of basic lands... could be pretty fun to actually have that kind of value that early on
Okay, this deck is prett damn epoch! xD
What is this, like the 8th time adventures have been broken?
More or less 😅
would this rule change in future?
Okay THIS deck provides so much value, its crazy!!! Do you think this is so strong that will warrant a change in Adventure spells or an errata?
N O P E
Honestly no. That would create a snowball effect and mess a lot of things up.
Cool interaction. Definitely seems like a bug to me, but WotC does what WotC does.
To be clear, it’s not a bug, as the wording of rebound allows this interaction
add loran's excape or Surge of salvation
Do a Anim Pakal historic brawl deck pls!
anyone else think ojer looks like hakkar from zul'grub in wow? even the art work looks like his temple

nice
My name is Luca, i live on the second floor
That is a very very sad song.

man the post release period is over. standard has completely disolved back into 80% mono red again
I can't stress this enough. Try Bo3.
cant stand cbg glad you got the W
What's up with covertgoblue?
I’d prefer to rebound Virtue of Persistence
Doesn't work.
@@MetalHevwhy wouldn’t it? In this token heavy deck though loyalty may be better
@@andrivek1 Ojer only rebounds instants so you'd need another way to rebound Persistence because of it being a sorcery.
@@moalboris239 virtue of courage though, ayo
@@MetalHev Hm, my fault for not reading cards thoroughly.
