Haha, I was going to ask where to get some of those sleeves! Having matching sleeves with the playmat would be super clean. Love being part of the League, keep it up!
This is an amazing video! Ill be playing two RTNs on this list with a few tweaks for my local Azalea meta. Not sure on 3 send packing, but will definitely put one or two in to have 4-5 "CnCs" against ranger.
Def try some Sinks as well- last format, I quite liked them into Azalea as you play a slower early game. Haven't bothered finding room since CnCs for 7 just sounds juicier, tho
Great video and super helpful for me as I'm getting back in - thank you! I had to stop playing right after the Brawl in Pittsburgh we met at, so I've been kind of out of the loop. Question for you. I've always been a bit hesitant to play cards that don't block and have always tried to keep the amount that don't block under 10 in past decks I've made. That being said, this version has 13 non blocks [15 if you are playing into fatigue, 16 if into mech]. How often do you find yourself running into situations where you really need to block but can't? Do you think with all the new on hits that warrior and guardian have you might consider a more defensive side board? I usually play Levia like I'm racing to the finish line, but some of these new cards got me a bit spooked.
Levia wants to push over rate- her strength is in aggressive numbers from her cards while leveraging defensive numbers from her armor. The nonblocks are cards that get you ahead- TLFL, AoW, Shadowpede, Doomsday. The only one that falls flat is Deadwood, but it can just be your Blue for the turn, discard fodder for BrB, or banish for AoW. Being afraid of *RED* nonblocks is Levia's problem cause those cards are not flexible at all- they don't pitch or block, so you have to play them. Those kinds of cards take away your agency to play the game, especially when drawn together. Drawing nonblock Y/Bs doesn't come up as an issue imo. If you find yourself struggling into on hits, I would record some games and go back to see if all of your armor use was as tight as can be. Wasting armor is def an issue for a lot of Levia's I see!
12:34 whats the reasoning behind wanting to attack before BRB? Agility token says next attack not next action, arent you just missing out on 2 damage if you swing first then BRB into more attacks?
Ethan, great video. I'm looking for those videos since Vynnset tests lol My first version of the decks is finally finished, but CnC and Swing Big are expensives and awful to find in my country. Wich cards do you think are a good option for substitution, considering this list in the video?
CnC can easily become Send Packing from the new set- hopefully not expensive. Swing Big can be another early game player that doesn't turn off BD. There's the new Clash of Might/Agility cards, Runner Runner, Pulping, Savage Feast.
Great Video I'm a newly returning player coming back from a 2 year break. I've noticed that you talk about the Demi Hero in all of your deck techs, but the card never shows up in the "DeckList" does the demi hero count as part of the deck / sideboard or do you just need to have a copy ?
Welcome back! The decklists do have the demi hero, it just shows up in the sideboard. It counts as 1 card in your decklist, both sides active until you choose which side to trigger in the game.
Are you playing a 62 card main with the 2 maybeboard cards? I checked the sideboard guide on the list and it's always removing 12 cards, but says the deck is 60, so those 2 are in the aether haha
Ethan! I knew this set was going to be great for Levia. Only question I have is why CC instead of send packing? It's a yellow 6 AND they can't crown their arsenal away because it banishes before the defense step.
Hello there , first comment even i follow you ethan since one year :) I play my levia more shadowbrute than brute shadow ad i discover a great synergi between No Fear and diabolic offering ,i just have to banish one 6 and diabolic turn into a 0 cost 1 cards block 6 :) ad i can take prevent value from card with no block :)
Hello! Yeah that interaction seems good at first, but I warn you that No Fear has 0 synergy after flipping to consumed. You do not get the cards back :( I find adding reds to the deck has to always be a net positive or else you're chasing very fringe plays that won't always line up to punish what your opponent is doing. That combo is very strong vs local guardians tho!
@@ManSantFaB yes i agree , for the moment i just run 2 of them for the period of the fight before the flipping to consumed , i continue my testing :) thx for the answer i like to have no fear against a friend who always play kano ^^ i will see
You actually can double up with Agility and Go Again if you swing Claw first since it only uses the Agility. So you can hedge for +1 value with 3 wide.
@@ManSantFaB yeah i cant wait to see what u gonna do with her . Plus u know i will be watching and waiting to add to my blood debt counter mwahahahaahha. It finny we was talking about in other streams i was like yeah i have never met ethan but i been watching him a long time seen his up and down but most important even tho we never met i do consider him a great friend and i will meet him one day hopefully.
@@burstflames Having great people in the community is the reason to keep coming back and providing content (streams, coverage, vids). While Blood Debt eats my soul, you nurture it, Josh haha!
@@ManSantFaB hahaha i still tell everyone to this day tho doesnt happen as much anymore curse u demi hero i am ethan official blood debt counter. I am glad u had fun on your trip great coverage tho i would totally look to replace that flake guy. Lol hahahahah jkjkjk u got a stunning team between u and nathan.
In situations like the Turn 0 of the Boltyn game, where you make and pop an agility, then play Art of War, we Levia players need to be careful of our habit to auto-select the go again mode. That was two missed damage vs. Boltyn.
That is a great point! In person, I keep the Agility on the board to always remember, but since it disappears on Talishar, I am constantly messing it up still.
I have the same feeling with a new set Pulping control deck with 6 cnc. Cast bones levia Regular hexagore with tons of agility tokens Whatever you want
Bryan just needs to enter the Deathmatch with anyone who dissents 💪 (context is he really likes No Fear, but I just can't get it to work- FaB people like to poke at him since he will bite back on Twitter)
And the sleeves sold out! Wow, ty all!
Haha, I was going to ask where to get some of those sleeves! Having matching sleeves with the playmat would be super clean. Love being part of the League, keep it up!
I like how your Levia deck tech is also a bling show and tell. Deck looks amazing.
That Hero+Claw alter set is stunning :0
Yeah, where to get those?
@@zaslayergaming2998 was wondering the same thing
Big fan of the new additions to the deck. Any chance we can get Levia themed agility, might and quicken merch tokens???
This is a great idea! I'll commission some art, just pick up some sleeves for now 😉

@ManSantFaB oh 100%. I'm gonna test 2 sink and 2 shadowrealm block 6 in the next couple armories. Parking one in arsenal is just so good.

@@ManSantFaB ok, that makes sense. I definitely burn armor at poor times so I'll try to work on that. Thanks for the advice!
Hear me out Claw plus Ball Breaker? 😂
12:34 whats the reasoning behind wanting to attack before BRB? Agility token says next attack not next action, arent you just missing out on 2 damage if you swing first then BRB into more attacks?
I'm talking about a 4 wide Bloodrush: attack, claw, claw, attack
Okay I guess I just misunderstood your phrasing, thought I was maybe missing something lol
I want to build into this, but my lgs plays blitz for now. How would you construct this version of this deck in blitz? Love your content btw!
oops, I play clash with my friends in my city and I would like to know if there will be any rules update with MST? I'm hoping so or even some ban

Not playing the maybe cards at all, 60 always. Just looking for holes in my MUs to want to add something more specific in those 2 slots
How does one go about getting those alters? 👀
ShakyEagle on discord!
Ethan! I knew this set was going to be great for Levia. Only question I have is why CC instead of send packing? It's a yellow 6 AND they can't crown their arsenal away because it banishes before the defense step.
I answered that in the video :) In short, I value pitching a Yellow for turn a ton as clumping power cards (AoW/BrB) is a detriment
I am a believer in clash of agility in both red and blue. I run 6 copies in my list against most heroes i except to win most of the time.
One burning Question: Swing Big is like a 35-40 € card. Can you give me a nice alternative for it?
Any red 2 cost brute attack should do to have an exact downgrade
Honestly, a lot of people don't run it! You can swap in Send Packing, Gravelings, Savage Feast, Pulping. Lots of options, just tune it to your flavor!
what do you stream on? i found your twitch but it doesn’t seem to be too frequently used, or have you just been busy lately
I stream on UA-cam either on this channel or Fabtcg's. I've definitely been busy lately, just streamed ProTour LA and Calling Phuket
Will we get to see Yuki's Kayo deck?
She posted it on Twitter
@@ManSantFaB but do you have stream from the event and maybe an interview?😊

Woah! Where'd you get that gorgeous Aotearoa mat? Please tell me something other than "Oh, it's the Celebrational mat, you can't get it" haha
You unfortunately are right on the money :(
@@ManSantFaB Noooo haha well then congrats on the invite. I lived in Wellington for a bit and it's a beautiful county :)
For the love of levia make a video showcasing play lines and levia ceiling and key cards and how to play with them. Please I pray for this video.
Done it plenty, check out the deep dive vid.
ua-cam.com/video/i7IXIySpjIg/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ManSant
Btw attacking with swing big + beast would win a game vs warrior
That is the best looking alter set I've ever seen
What’s your camera, mic set up look like? the quality is great!
This was an impromptu razer webcam on a deckbox, maono mic on an arm, and pixel phone in front of me haha

Punt at 30:00 you had an agility token already, so why choose go again on the Art of War. Should have been +1 Buff.
You actually can double up with Agility and Go Again if you swing Claw first since it only uses the Agility. So you can hedge for +1 value with 3 wide.
It about time ethan i was waiting for this. She has a fidge now like 10+ armor block.
In numbers, it's 18. In value, it's more like 23... Crazy!
