This might be for the memes, but you can also add Cavalier of Dawn and target Athreos for its ability. Since Athreos, even though has indestructible, is a legal target for the Cavalier, you get a free 3/3 Golem. The Cavalier could also retrieve Athreos if he somehow ends up getting milled or discarded. Kaya's Ghostform would help for an alternate recursion effect while Athreos is not yet active, and doubles as something that the Cavalier could fetch back. A copy of Erebos could also be good, as he can sacrifice things to serve as an additional value engine for your creatures with coin counters, or help eliminate small enemy threats while giving card advantage. Not to mention he is also indestructible, which would still be a valid target for the Cavalier and give you an extra creature for free.

Nissa player played like an idiot. They should’ve ultimated when they could, knowing legend runs Elspeth conquers death and banishing light. Typical Jace avatar to be greedy
I dont understand why he didnt go face instead of using 3 turns to kill the nissa. opponent was at 10 life and those 3 turns would have just killed opponent.
@@ChairmanMeow1 Worst case scenario, his opponent gets the emblem making the land indestructible and smashes into LVD's board then top decs yet another nissa, LVD is out of sacs and the opponent has a 3/3 indestructible+vigilance+haste factory
That match against Sultai Ramp was intense!!! I have never seen that lock on someone's draw step before. Absolutely savage! Level headed thinking as always, even under pressure. Good job man!
24:04 When Woe Strider was targeted with Tyrant Scorn you could have sac'ed Plaguecrafter, return it as token and then sac the woe strider to the effect, so you don't lose it for free.
Always love your decks, I've been running a Doom Foretold Athreos deck recently, but I really like this version. Plus I never really thought about that Sacrifice/Discard combo on their Draw step, that was GLORIOUS!! 11/10
@@LegenVD Obviously magic is probably the best card game but if you ever have some free time and want to mess around I have found it quite enjoyable myself and recommend it as its also very F2P friendly. Either way thanks again for the great vids for sure the highlights of many of my work mornings haha
At 21:00 i think it was a mistake not to go face. You would kill them in 3 turns which you would have all locked with the upkeep discard. The only answer would be an instant speed removal, which I don't think that deck would have many. Also I dont think your opponent would kill you faster, because of all the lifegain, chump blockers and 5/4 on defense you had
I think the focus on powerful enchantments and graveyard synergies could make for some viable 4 or 5 color builds. I'm thinking of the old school oath enchantments. Might be worth a look.
30:22 Am I wrong or does putting the counter on the cavalier of thorns not work? If you wrath, doesnt the cavalier death trigger resolve before athreos’?
I was thinking about it myself, normally that would remove the Cavalier, and a question is, is it being exiled "with a counter" on it so that Athreos triggers again and brings it back?
Slawomir Chmielewski so I think it dies with a counter, but then doesn’t have a counter while it’s in the graveyard. Then, it changes zones due to its own death trigger and won’t come back
In the case of the wrath on your turn you don't get the cavalier back. If you kill on your opponent's turn you should, since triggers are put on the stack in APNAP order
@@Gnocchi10000 active player non active player. The person whose turn it is gets their triggers on the stack first, so their stuff resolves last. So the takeaway is if it's your turn, your triggers happen last
Didn't want to have her ultimate, could have maybe switched after one or two attacks. Didn't have the info that we were going to make them discard for the rest of the game, so Krasis would've been scary with Nissa in play.
19:50 I had no idea you could sac creatures with nightmare shepherd after they draw but before their main phase. if the card the opponent drew was an instant, hed still have been able to cast it though right? itd go on the stack before the sacrifice?
Wow, Legend is incredible - he wins with everything, even with complete Jank such as this. I think Atreos is way too slow and unplayable in standard. With Idyllic Tutor is even slower. What do you do against decks with massive card advantage such as G/W or B/W Enchantments or UW Control (Trawler)? I'd see - don't try this at home ;-) But thx for the vid, quality play as usual!
You can sacrifice plaguecrafter with his own ability 2 times in a row with nightmare shepherd- the first game you missed out on that opportunity and instead sacrificed a token
Athreos counter can target enchantments. You could have gotten athreos out first, then started playing elspeth and constantly putting counters on it. Make sure they never get reclamation.
I don't know about the line you chose in the first match. It took exactly 3 swings to take down Nissa, may have likewise killed opponent (considering your lifetotal wasn't under any imminent threat)
Probably needed to attack Nissa the first time at least. Otherwise his opponent would have Ult'd and could start swinging in with indestructible lands every turn. After the first attack, maybe should have started going face.
on 30:20 couldn't you have attacked with arthreos and if he took the bait and blocked with nylea, play mires grasp on nylea to kill her? Not sure if this is working, please enlight me :D
Arena is a little deceiving when it comes to showing damage. In that situation Nylea would end up as a 2/3 with four damage marked on it. In order to kill an indestructible creature you need to get its toughness to zero. Damage doesn't technically decrease toughness, despite it showing that visually.
Can someone explain to me why the full control can make it so that the opponent can't hydroid crasis when legend sacrifices a bell haunt. I thought you might be able to flash it in in response to the discard
Krasis doesn't have Flash. The reason you go full control is so you can make them discard after their draw step. You briefly have priority there, but without full control the game skips past it right to the opponent's main phase where they get priority to cast spells.
Sac your plague crafter to himself. Exile him with nightmare then bring him back then sac himself again to destroy two of your opponents creatures for the price of one.
Why didn’t you just go face at around 20:00? Yeah Nissa is a threat, but you had the lock on them to put them on a 3 turn clock since they’re at 10. I might be missing something, but it looked obvious.
30:22 Green Cavalier probably would be probably exiled to it's own ability, so Atheros wouldn't return him. GOtta assert that dominance though) gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=479156 Despite being able to deal with exile this god still struggles against graveyard hate

You didn't say "on to the next one" after that first game. How am I supposed to know when a match is over?
HE NEEDS SOME MILK!
It must mean that the monogreen devotion player smoke screened into grixis game 2
What do you mean? There was a weird break in the middle, where it looked like a new game started, but it actually ended when he said it did
@Some Rando opponent must’ve activated 7 mana Karn’s ultimate ability and restarted the game, we just missed it.

Clint Divino For the Memes you could also Spark Double Athreos, thus being able to put coin counters on him self
Cavalier of Dawn is just good here anyways because Elspeth Conquers Death is a card you want to recur, and cavalier can form an infinite loop with it

"5 minutes later..."
Yup, that accurately describes the Reclamation deck.
@FunkiHunter In the Reclamation deck, the main threat is that mana gain. The deck is built to just one-shot you with an X spell.

The game against mono red at 46:00 was breathtaking.
"Looking for Magic cards...?"
I am always waiting for: "LOOK NO FURTHER!"
Ohhh been waiting for something like this for ages! Keep up the awesome work LVD!
Those draw step discard were disgusting. More of this please.
"Nice one, ontudi next one!"

Loved the MVC, "Elspeth Conquers [List of CMC > 3 Cards]"
That match 2, the FLAVOR, oh my. God vs god, cav vs cav, nature vs death.

Also I dont think your opponent would kill you faster, because of all the lifegain, chump blockers and 5/4 on defense you had
The synergy between Strider, Bellhaunt and Sheperd is awesome. You starved opponent without any usable draw
THE END CARD!!!!!! I died.
I've seen people play Starfield in decks like this, quite powerful ramp for Shepherd, ECD and Athreos
I think the focus on powerful enchantments and graveyard synergies could make for some viable 4 or 5 color builds. I'm thinking of the old school oath enchantments. Might be worth a look.
Interesting deck. Sadly Athreos didn't get played much. I'd love to watch more gameplay on this to see more Athreos action.
23:53 sac plaguecrafter and then sac strider to the plaguecrafter before scorn resolves no ?
Just thanks.

lol that end game where you just kept attacking nissa for 3 turns, you could have won in 3 turns :P so many players obsess over planes walkers
Didn't want to have her ultimate, could have maybe switched after one or two attacks. Didn't have the info that we were going to make them discard for the rest of the game, so Krasis would've been scary with Nissa in play.
That full control to make them discard their top deck is...dirty. Just dirty.

Concede. I've got better things to do for the next half hour. :p
making that embercleave be discarded against that red deck... OOOF. I felt that one in my soul. #RageQuit :)
You can sacrifice plaguecrafter with his own ability 2 times in a row with nightmare shepherd- the first game you missed out on that opportunity and instead sacrificed a token
That land struggle in the first game is classic Arena.
Wouldnt cavalier of dawn be better than the cavalier of night?
Athreos counter can target enchantments. You could have gotten athreos out first, then started playing elspeth and constantly putting counters on it. Make sure they never get reclamation.
Only targets creatures.
My bad, I'm not sure why I thought it was enchantment or creature! Might be because Heliod can target either.
Maaaaannnn Woe Strider really gets my goat…. 🤭
Surprised by the lack of Cruel Celebrant - since it's kind of *the* Orzhov Sacrifice card
I had it in a more creature-heavy build of this deck, but ended up switching to the enchantment package.
thank mr lvd
Nice deck bro...
Will try...
Outlast mono red 4 turns and you are good!!
I don't know about the line you chose in the first match. It took exactly 3 swings to take down Nissa, may have likewise killed opponent (considering your lifetotal wasn't under any imminent threat)

Why not a couple of Gray Merchants?
The poor guy with triple nicol bolas, I felt his pain xD
Is he playing standard events or casual play mode?
Wouldn't be Yarok's Fenlurker straight up better version of Burglar rat? Exiling is better against escape cards and later is somewhat nicer mana sink.
I talk about it in the video.
Oh, sorry, wasn't at that part of video when I wrote this.
White black is so hard to do right but this is nice
So is Athreos a nonbo with Nightmare Shepherd?
Indeed, although they both synergise with the same cards.
Athreos and Nightmare Shepherd combo doesn't work or does it?
Doesn't

Once the lands become indestructible they can deal a lot of damage.
