I think it's truly amazing to see this weird meta evolving from mono Green channel turn 2 win to people either optimising it and preparing for the mirror or actually fully answering it (10 discard spells and 4 arcanists, that is something...), to answer the answer,...
Dreadhorde Arcanist is the perfect litmus test for sorceries and instants in a set. If Dreadhorde takes over every game because you have too many effective one mana spells, something needs to be done.
This event is the most fun I've had playing arena in a long time, I think if they banned oko and channel this format could be permanent, it's suprisingly well balanced apart from the aforementioned channel deck, I've seen success with a wide variety of decks, 4c control, murktide, shadow, burn, affinity, and a bunch of other weird brews.
In a format that is oops all shenanigans, I like a deck that shenanigans the shenanigans. Yoinking away janky combo pieces, one thoughtseize at a time.
I wonder how much the fairly diverse meta of this deck is because of 1. unranked and 2. full card access. If it were ranked and you have to play cards you have unlocked I bet it would be mostly Channel Eldrazi decks
What's your personal opinion on Alchemy-exclusive cards? You have said in other videos that you tend to use less Alchemy cards than necesary (and Key to the Archive because we know you love some good mana rocks), but I don't recall your opinion about them.
What I learned from this event is people really don't know how to pilot their decks, if you have leylines in your deck you should at least consider mulliganing a bit aggressively so that your hand wouldn't get shredded by discard spells, which is the only reason why those enchantments are in your deck in the first place. edit: I really advise people to watch more legacy content just to improve their decision making while piloting decks. Boshnroll is a great youtube channel for that purpose. For standard watch LVD, for legacy watch bosh
@@bobbybim101 Do you ramp it out or something? I know some versions play uro and/or gilded goose, but hard casting a 7 cmc card feels slow to me, but hey, that might just be my lack of knowledge in the metagame.
@@rasen7721 so basically wilderness reclamation lets you double your land mana as long as you're casting at instant speed? Then isn't it broken with leyline of abundance?
First deck i've ever seen where i felt i was watching someone commit a crime, this deck is actually just evil
I recommend watching his Vendillion Clique. That one’s just straight up a villain
Welcome to modern
I know them feels. The first time I read Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis I thought it was an actual mistake haha
11:17 First time I've ever seen actual footage of a mythic orange name.
This deck is straight up evil and it's amazing LMAO you're one of the BEST deck creators out here man. You're awesome, Luca!!!
You know the phrase, "You can't Thought Seize the top of the deck"? Well. Bauble + Ragavan + LVD.
I loved the opponent reaction at 22:46
summarizes the entire event perfectly

agreed, if every spell is broken, then the best one is the onemana cost you can actually cast.

If I'm not mistaken, an orange name means it's a WOTC employee.
@@reganhorne4193jup, had the honour the other day to play against one of the developers of mtga
that loading tip thats totally useless xD
@@sudazimapay respect to your geek overlords, haha
that was a wotc employee. and he scooped pretty early. having an employee see my deck and go "woooow efffff youuuu" is now on my arena bucket list.
meta strat - build deck to beat what you showcased on RUclips the day before :P
double bauble dauble bauble dahble bahble

this deck is something that therapists tell their therapists about
Bowmaster + Lightning bolt looks at Channel and says, "Go ahead. We dare you." lol

"Double bauble is keepable" - LVD
Definitely a blast to watch my boy play a powerful deck 🥰
oooh this is filthy. Most of my wins today have been people scooping to having their channel discarded. good stuff boss.
I would run x4 white leylines even if i don't even use any white mana source
There are some Dredge Mill decks going around that seem pretty powerful.

Nice vid. I'd like to see bant control next, I don't know how it wins, and I'd like to see you showcase it.
Nexus of fate is your wincon :)

@@benjaminbeauregard8269 it's an instant so wilderness reclamation lets you float mana with the untap trigger on the stack and cast it in your endstep

@@strangelaw6384 yes reclamation is broken full stop
You should try a 4 color omnath pile next, it's worse without prismatic ending and fetchlands compared to modern, but minsc and boo really help.
Helloo, nice video!! 😊 Are you planning to make a full set review again for WoE? Would be awesome!
Great Deck! So companions are not reverted to their original card text, even in this format?
Indeed
No, this is a test for whether anything deserves to be unbanned
Hello good game
28:47 double bauble
Can you please make a deck surrounding Samut, Vizier of Naktamun pls?
I'd like to see some form of 8 rack with dark ritual
Hey Luca, do you think Hope of Ghirapur is too cute for this kind of deck? Considering nothing is banned, it's probably too weak huh?
Can be nice once you get Lurrus in play, but probably too cute.
Rude, I love it
Mishra's Bauble is definitely busted, but I still don't see why Unholy Heat got nerfed
I mean, one mana 6 damage seems pretty good xD
Isn't this basically a Modern deck?
Noice
why does adam have a colored user name?
Usually indicates WotC employees.
Why is ragavan even in arena but we can’t get full ahmonket. This game is so dumb
I wish full kaladesh was in arena too. Absolute love Multiform Wonder
