Can't (under)stand mana drain. Like what, counterspell but also I get mana? Why not make a UU counterspell, you get mana equal to the countered spell's cmc and you draw 3 cards, and you win the game
I believe Mana Drain was printed back when "mana burn" was still a mechanic. So, at the time, there was potential downside in the form of lost life if you didn't spend the Mana Drain mana. Without mana burn as a (small) check, Mana Drain is pretty ridiculous, no doubt.
@@TheeParthenon Yes, that is correct. Not to mention, this came out during the Legends set. I *can* totally buy that the same team that thought "yeah having to pay a bunch of colors of mana for a card and being legendary is *totally* upside you guys, let's make every single multicolored legendary card as clunky as possible to 'compensate'" also decided that a a 2 mana counterspell that also nets you mana was completely fair and balanced.
A lot of people think control is really annoying because "it doesn't let you resolve anything" but when you play a card and they say "its fine" is when you're really in trouble against control decks.
Most likely because he values the 6 mana over the extra attacker, since he wins the turn after from an attack with Ojutai + the opponent's one ring triggering.
You forgot Sword of the Realms which is one of the better vigilance enablers! edit: Oh but it costs 4 in total to equip the sword. Cheaper ones in the deck list might be better although the sword gives a little bit of immunity to sweepers and edict effects.
Luca does 1 based orzhov aristocrat deck and has to make up for it by posting 3 boring decks right after. Crazy how these videos are still amazing when they feature the most concentrated cringe on earth.
It's not a competition. They both have their own video formats and playstyles. I'm sure they'd both agree it's better to help bring one or the other up, rather than compare them and bring one down. Do better.
Never thought I'd be entertained by two blue decks going against each other but those counterspells were pretty wild
17:46 Epic counterspell battle
Magic sadness, when your opponent just dies stopping you from taking extra turns, attacking in the air unopposed, and drawing more cards...
10:36 I love that because there's no point in attacking, he does it anyway. (tone indicator: positive, wholesome)
Dragonlord MC Hammer provides a lot of value
rakdos player casting settle the wreckage is crazy work
I've been enjoying Split Up as a selective sweeper. Not perfect but usually tempos the opponent enough to recover
That thumbnail is slaying

LegenVD is the only guy that could make me enjoy a BW control mirror xD

18:52 instead of countering the swan song why not counter the original wrath so you could get the free bird?
Checks out!
I thought this for a second too, but the mana drain mana could be useful too. If swan song resolves, no free mana!
@@wirelessbaguette8997 That's a great reason which I didn't come upon! Mana drain is more than a counter indeed

More like legenvd is untouchable
Ojutai is my favorite commander to play
11:30 why not Tale’s End to counter the Otawara channel? It’s an activated ability

Rainer bist du es? 😂😂😂😂

Holy fuck I hate azorius so much, I got frustrated by just watching the games lmao
30-second gang
Day 1 of commenting that LVD has better content than CGB 🤷🏽♂️
Its true

What a weird thing to do.
