    I wore my Grim Captain deck out when Lost Caverns dropped and it did remarkably well in ranked. It had slipped my mind how fun it was and these new editions looks fun. Bitter Reunion was always a must include so a sweeper wouldn't ruin your day before you could attack. Kiora and Floodpits look amazing. The Mauler is a crazy enabler, although I hate to craft 4 of them for this. Thee are just so many great vampires, merfolk, pirates, and dinosaurs in this massive standard I could see several different build of this doing well.
    In my pirate spot I did love the black 1 drop that creates a treasure token to try and get things going 1 turn earlier. Can't wait to try your inclusions, thanks for the reminder of a truly fun deck!

      Greedy Freebooter would be nice to have, but didn't seem worth it to add black just for one card. If you don't want to craft the Mauler the other changelings aren't a huge downgrade since you rarely cast them.

  • @merke323
    @merke323 День тому +3

    Love the captain, and the new entries are cool, but I think the thrillseeker is a must.
    That card is never dead by itself and if you craft the captain off it you are very likely to win on the spot.

    I have a Grixis build that works pretty well-- Rampaging Spiketail is usually the creature I bring out when Grim Captain attacks, giving him indestructible and +2/+0. Swampcycling makes it easy to throw in the graveyard.

    I use the barkfom harvester changeling. An artifact creature to dodge go for the throat. 3 mana 2/3 with reach pay 2 to return card from your graveyard to the bottom of your deck. I also have fabled passage to shuffle. I don’t have Taurean so didn’t even know that was a card 😅

    In game 6, your opponent saw that you could make 7 chump blockers with lifelink, so his stuff on the ground was never getting through again and you could start taking out his overlords.

      G&M would actually only make 1 or 2 vampires in that spot. You either get a dino with P/T equal to the biggest other attacking creature, or you get vamps equal to the number of other attacking creatures.

So I been popping in and out of magic online for years and am struggling with standard getting a little too fast for my liking and have only tried standard best of one and two headed giant back in the day. Is there any game mode that you would recommend for mtga thanks

    • @LegenVD
      @LegenVD  День тому +1

      My favorite format on Arena is Brawl (formerly known as Historic Brawl). It's 1v1 commander with a different banned list and all Planeswalkers are also allowed as commander. The singleton nature leads to much more varied games and it's easier to maintain a Brawl collection compared to Standard.

    • @LegenVD
      @LegenVD  День тому +2

      Yeah that was certainly a consideration. Maybe if we get some more Skeleton creatures that also have one of our four types it could be worth it.

    • @mariand.1087
      @mariand.1087 День тому +1

      ⁠Speaking of skeletons and the corpses deck, there’s a new 2 mana skeleton that surveils when an enchantment etb’s. In addition to that we can also use mockingbird to copy our skellies, then in the 3 drop spot we can use a couple of banners plus the new changeling lord, then top it off with some Gisa’s for 5 mana. Overall you get a Dimir skeletons pile which I’ve been trying to to fine tune for BO1 but haven’t got the proper card ratios yet.
      Maybe LVD could try the “Dimir Skeletons” idea, as it’s definitely fun and more synergistic than just mono black skeletons.

      Valgavoth does not beat Captain plus Galta. And might even need to be sacrificed when captain attacks. Hexproof also beats ward, even if it is a very good ward.
