Idk if anyone else would like it, but with the new free standard decks, it would be cool to get the "Deck Upgrade" videos again from a couple years ago where you went through the deck and then did some tinkering to make the deck better.
It made sense when every player on Arena had those decks and wildcards were very scarce. Nowadays even new players are quickly tossed into a competitive meta where upgraded starter decks stand little chance. Haven’t looked at them closely but if the new starter decks are along the same lines I don’t think it’s worth the effort of upgrading them. I’ll just get people in the comments that are upset that they can’t keep up with the new flavor of monored or control.
Greedy 4 color decks scooping when their commander gets countered? Sounds about right lmao Also the sheer amount of euphoria felt when countering with Mana Tithe is astronomical!!!
Had to buy a paper Recruiter of the Guard after watching this, only $3.40! Not bad for a tutor on a creature, I remember being super excited when I pulled Imperial Recruiter.
Your videos always pop up at midnight for me and I barely get time to watch :( still, thanks for making such high quality content! Minor error: Your first match is against Narset: Enlightened Exile, but the youtube segment is titled Enlightened Master instead.
In the first game, since you drew a land at 19:00, you could have used the mystic to play one equipment and you could have played the other and equipped both with the 9 mana.
Indeed also noticed it while editing. Not sure it’s the right play since exiling extra cards while tapped out isn’t all that useful. May have worked out better this way.
Game needs to be made more efficient. Multiple giant “I QUIT” buttons all over the screen. Prompts: “your opponent killed your creature, quit?” Then ofc auto-quit. Spelled got countered auto-quit. Opponent casting spell auto-quit. Opponent thinking about casting auto-quit. Opponent playing with blue auto-quit. Get it done developers.
The first game: It is, imo, a rare thing that someone with the One Ring out and unchecked for so many turns is not able to win the game, in brawl or otherwise.
I've had unlucky experience against Phelia, they included Containment Priest in their deck and started exiling my creatures without them coming back. I must say, it's an effective but mean inclusion lol, needless to say I lost within few turns
Why didn’t arena give you the option to return the doggo to the command zone on the cyclonic rift? Shouldn’t a zone change allow you to replace the destination?
@@pnkseven perpetual mechanic is already problematic from the start. Be it in the form of buff or debuff. Blanking a card is a legit mechanic in digital based card game such as Hearthstone, Eternal, or Shadowverse. But the reason it's legit, is because those games were designed around digital environment. You can blank a card with wordy abilities, but in the same game you also can fill a vanilla card with wordy abilities. The problem is Magic was designed around physical paper cards, not digital. That's why it sucks.
@@amarauk9687 it's called power creep and commander was long ago targeted by wizard as premium selling format, so they are pushing card power other the top...😢
@@khalilangelo4605 You can technically use it to permanently exile opposing creatures when Phelia attacks, but it does also stop your own flicker synergies.
There is a error in the chapters. It says you are playing against Narset, Englightened Master but you are actually playing against Narset, Englightened Exile.
"Remove effects now, please" killed me
I felt that one lol
The card art is a perfect representation of LVD's mood when he plays a card off the top of the library.
I heard that Rudy Siswanto, the artist for Phelia, used LVD as a reference for the card art by showing Luca a copy of Roaming Throne.
That Omnath match was chef's kiss. There is nothing more satisfying than countering a "mana cheating" spell with mana tithe.
Honestly countering anything with mana tithe is satisfying as hell lol.
Playing against Narset is like pulling teeth.

29:01 for a brief second I thought LVD was going to say "aaand our opponent explodes, get rekt"
LVD seems like the kind of guy to have a saint bernard as a pet rather than a corgi

46:25 one of the saddest moments in MTG history, two good boys go down 😭
Cute Doggo.

Phelia just got second place at the Duel Commander French Nationals, glad to see it featured here !

Loving your calm tone and accent, sick videos.
Also more Melek please! :D
Awesome deck! Mono-white taking games always feels like good Magic
Love me some blinky white!
Game vs Narset was incredible!
Fantastic deck, 10/10
Glad you like it!
lovely commander and nice video :)

You can watch the videos whenever
Should be fixed!
The one thing I don't see quite often is null elemental blast
It's a pretty good counterspell in commander and a removal spell too
Don't think that card is available on Arena
@ifeedalot7643 it is actually. It came out in mh3

Built a version of this deck with a lot of noncreature etbs to use besides containment priest. It is incredibly 😈
Another great games.
I've just got one question: do you record several games at a time and choose to broadcast only the ones you win?
First game was epic

😂😂😂😂

That Patriar's Humiliations (alchemy) is ridiculous, it just shut off your commander for the whole game ?!
It's like silence mechanic in Eternal CCG. Players called it "fun police".
@@nurikhsan8821 Yeah, but in a instant that cost 1 mana. It's not like a pithing needle that you can destroy and ok.
see 22:44
@@Say_Tin Yeah I saw it, but still think that's a ridiculous mechanic to perpetually make a card useless.

Mmmm we heard that correct pronunciation of Ephemerate sir [insert lower lip bite emoji].
Needs fall of the thran just trust me bro , it's been the star of the show in my list
Good deck, appreciate the content although the 99 in historic brawl are getting quite predictable
80% of the 99 of any edh deck are "staples"

could have played both swords since u drew a land and stoneforge was in play
True!
watched
Didn't feel good for the opponent in G3
Not running containment priest?
It’s a double edged sword in this deck, I like being able to flicker my own stuff.
Looks like anti synergy to me unless I'm missing something
