its kinda ironic how some players will rope almost every turn and think its ok (CGB, others) while others are so desperate to play ultra fast if you take 5 seconds theyll concede. Maybe Arena should have "rooms" or options like "only fast players" or "no yorion-borion"
@@ricardoolivo5244 It is okay. When you need to think things through you have the timer to do so. They aren’t the problem. It’s people who rope instead of concede when they know they’ve lost.
LVD doesn't play fast, but it's because he's thinking through things. It's annoying to play against, but it's not ever worth then wasting both your turns in spite. Especially not when you do all that showboating and you don't even know you've won and you just get BTFO'd.
14:01 for all the buildup to the first big hit with Skithiryx, I was not expecting that pathetic sort of noise. It makes sense, because infect, but it still caught me off guard.
aw man, i was the Kaza player. i'm a big fan! bummer I had to scoop early to take a work call (but let's face it i was going to get smoked that game anyway). GGs!!! hope i can play you again sometime and stick around for the whole game lol
I really appreciate the card type highlighting during the deck description. I think seeing it visualized has helped me mentally think about my decks differently and improve my builds.
For the longest time I thought Everflame (the equipment Irencrag transforms into) said that "equipped creature gets +3/+3 and loses all other abilities" and I was confused why people even considered ever transforming it
Great video. This was my son's favorite commander in paper years ago before it was banned. He rebuilt it after it was un-banned, and it is always fun for me and his friends to try and beat it. Awesome Commander :) I will now make an Arena Deck immediately !
Yeah, when I came across the "regenerate" mechanic, it was very unintuitive as to how precisely it worked. What seems obscure is the text that says "the next time this would die..." when it only seems to be sensible to activate *at the time* it would die. Perhaps it's just the ambiguity inherent in what we call in the English language the "subjunctive" mood (would, should, could, etc.). It's unclear what the practical implication of the subjunctive conditional is (and I skipped that one in my logic courses, lol). In any case, regeneration is intuitive enough, once you use it a few times. Great deck - and that "your go" was super funny; love the cueing of the music whilst opponent figured out how to use their gobs of mana lol.
That is exactly how regeneration worked when Richard Garfield designed it. You would pay the cost at the time the creature would die, and then instead of dying, it would become tapped and fully healed. It's my understanding that after the 6th Edition timing rules, there is now no time slot available between the creature taking lethal damage and dying, so you don't have any opportunity to activate regeneration. So as a workaround, they invented the concept of the regeneration shield that you need to apply in advance. But it was never originally intended to work this way.
Just got done finish MWM on my multiple accounts with your Teysa Brawl deck from the MTG Arena channel. This deck looks awesome and some sweet games. Great editing and commentary as well, nice to see you roll that Etali deck. Thanks bro. Always entertaining.
Hey Luca, you know, of course I support you in the matches, but in the second match I was hoping for the Juri comeback! It was a truly bold and unexpected deck!
... don't know how you can be so unrelentingly courteous and patient to all of your opponents. You seem to practice an uncanny level of stoic/Vulcan forbearance, dispassion, kindness and patience. That's a lesson in itself - how to be a moral/virtuous player. Quite impressive. I'm always humbled, and embarrassed at myself for being so ornery a player...thanks for setting a great example to the community :)
I was the Kaya player you beat in this video! I’ve been a fan of yours for so long, and it was nice to finally play against you! I’m just sad i didn’t realize during the game 😔
Hey I’m pretty sure I wrote a comment on one of your videos a few weeks ago asking about this guy. Could’ve been another channel not sure, either way, very cool and unique card for Arena.
Dear LegenVD-san, I'm currently building my first brawl deck in MTGA. Do you have any plan to release tutorial for that? I found your video in which you suggest top 5 cards to craft for every colors. That's very helpful but I still want to know more generic info like what kind of creatures do we mostly need or standard mana carve etc. As far as I know, you're one of the best MTG players so I love to see more your tutorial video. Thank you so much.
Whoa I got a little bit of motion sickness at 14:40 during the elevator music. maybe the floating calculations effect made it feel like there’s a forward motion happening and my eyes were focusing on the skithiryx card which was wobbling a little due to flying.
Love the card! My first and only rather competitive deck i build in standard on paper: infect. With the 2/2 first strike, infect, Protection from white and Red phyrexian crusader. Mono red killer if you wäre not dead before you could Use it :P
@LegenVD oh yeah haven't even thought about spellbook cards. To be honest I really dislike the Alchemy cards in brawl and still hope they introduce a brawl format where you can only play with cards that exists in paper as well 😍
Indeed, thought about it afterwards and that would've made a little bit more sense. Tutoring Pact Weapon was still worth it since it didn't show up in other games.
It can certainly be improved with all the cards that aren't available on Arena that are legal in Commander. It's designed to take out one player at a time, so be prepared for everyone to turn on you.
Is "Throne of Eldraine" not in arena? It's so much better than Gilded Lotus. It gives 4 mana for 5 and lets you draw cards. Also, not sure if the 40k cards are in arena, but Scepter of Eternal Glory is a legendary Gilded Lotus but for 4 mana instead of 5.
@LegenVD isn't brawl also available in paper? It's a shame that those 2 cards aren't available. I'm a big fan of Throne. Best mana rock in single color.
@@OdinMagnus Historic Brawl now simply named Brawl is only really a digital format. Standard Brawl never really took off. But they both have a lot of similarities with Commander where those cards can be played.
I feel bad for the Teysa player. On the draw, mulliganed down, missed the land drop they needed, and they are new enough to the game that they didn't realize they couldn't bring back tokens. Rip
@@LegenVD Oh yeah! 😂 The sUpEr SeCrEt aBiLiTy of the Immortal Sun that I ALWAYS forget about, despite that one ability being it's only significance lore-wise!
There's not many people who deserve the sting of Skyritherix but somebody who says "your go" x2 every turn is chief in my mind among the most deserved of targets. When zoomers get on Arena and get impatient it annoys me because MTG is a game that requires at least 30-1hr minimum to complete and you multiply that by the Commander as some are quick and join a horde of haste bears or anthems but even then there's SETUP. Unless I am taking a deliberately annoying amount of time IE salt roping. >.> Though I only salt rope salt ropers to troll them. Respect your opponent!
Oh man, love the elevator music for the your go player. LVD is always cool and collected but the editing shade is real, and deserved.
Ah yes, the lovely elevator music for players in a rush to lose. Very relaxing.

yeah wither definitely needs its own effect on arena
[An enormous, roaring, undead dragon, dripping with ichor, flying at you full speed]
"bink!"
It's to emphasize the fact that dying to that is a slap in the face.
The zoom in on „your go“ and then the elevator music took me out 😂 great editing on this one already!
Yeah the cheekiness of that was hilarious :)
The little *dink* when you're attacking with this massive poisonous dragon always makes me chuckle.
aw man, i was the Kaza player. i'm a big fan! bummer I had to scoop early to take a work call (but let's face it i was going to get smoked that game anyway). GGs!!! hope i can play you again sometime and stick around for the whole game lol
Next time!
Kaza is one of my favorite commanders and one I don't see a lot. I was kinda pulling for you there, too bad you got a bit stuck on lands.
I was sorry that you seemed a little mana screwed in that game!

That elevator music with the math equations was so beautiful lol. Should do that every time they take forever lol
Nah I think saving it for rare occasions makes it funnier

For the longest time I thought Everflame (the equipment Irencrag transforms into) said that "equipped creature gets +3/+3 and loses all other abilities" and I was confused why people even considered ever transforming it
Same here. Never read it correctly myself.
It’s worded quite poorly, I think most people think this.
I'm the same. Why would I want my commander to lose their abilities lol, oops
If it read that way why would you ever not transform it? The downside to transforming is loosing the mana ability.
@@BlakeFaeMorton OP stated they thought the creature lost abilities with it equipped and didn’t realize the equipment lost abilities when transformed.
The first opponent was in such a rush, he should've used that time to think about his play and speed up his own turn
Always wanted to see Skithiryx in action, thank you LVD❤

Can't help but visualize Evan and Katelyn encasing a playmat in resin, given LVD's song choice in Game 1! 🎵 🥽
Fucking Legend man haha. The edit on Game 1 opp was *chefs kiss*
Dread presents is fucking rad. If you’ve got that land that makes all your lands swamps you can do some crazy shit with sac land recursion.
Just need Urborg on Arena!

LVD’s level of trolling never ceases to amaze me 😂. Handles the BM in game well and just lets the gameplay speak for itself
LVD is the MOST courteous and patient player I've ever come across in playing MTG for like 23 yrs...
Skittles my beloved!
Lunch Time!!!
So cool!
Phyrexian Unlife was in the Enchanted Tales Bonus Sheet and also uses the Infect mechanic 😎😇
Indeed, was mostly referring to creatures with the mechanic.
Wouldn't be shocked if there's a spellbook card that makes Infect creatures either 😅

Tutoring Pact Weapon was still worth it since it didn't show up in other games.
I think LVD really likes saying Skithiryx
you know, its your go
Regeneration Is back, finally
the damn music section killed me
Winning -15 to 29. Magic the way Richard Garfield intended😅
How does eqiuping the irencrag as an equipment not cause skytherix to lose his abilities? Cam someone explain im so confused
The wording is just awkward, but just means Irencrag no longer taps for mana.
14:15 What is the name of the song?, just curiosity.
"Ella Vater" by The Mini Vandals, available through the RUclips audio library.
Man I love me some skittles
Can you do a deck for lolth, spider queen? God i miss this card so much😢
Taste the Rainbow
Wait... didn't game 1 player have you with etali transform and swing on your open board?
cool edit haha
Mono black is my strategy haha
the most toxic not toxic magic player. (no that was not meant to be a pun. i just realised)
I wouldn't have been strong enough to not return "your go"
The music and all of the first game is so silly😂😂😂😂😂
Does this deck stand a chance in a 4way commander ?

Etali are the new toilet gamers of brawl. So used to winning that they get big mad and confused when it's not all going to plan. 😂😂
Instead of Pact Weapon, you could have taken the Blackblade Reforged again, for definite lethal.
Indeed, would've been the better play. Still glad I got to showcase Pact Weapon this way though!
“Your go”
Immediately next turn spends like 3x as long just to play two creatures
More of this quality sarcastic humor.
"Can proliferate their planeswalkers if we're feeling generous"... Only LVD can make being toxic kind 😂
Gotta' love it when they're hypocrites about complaining. It's actually why I watch fewer MtG RUclipsrs.

No wonder Wizards of the Coast uses "Toxic" instead of "Infect", it's too violent
