4:53 really highlights the difference between a good player and a bad player. A bad player would have had their Gix removed by the opponent. A good player means the opponent doesn't have removal in hand. Masterful play.
If you're skim reading the card (trying to respect opponent's time), you might not notice the (2) in "Ward - (2), pay 2 life". Arena's "are you sure?" prompt doesn't save you because it's become a reflex to click yes when you know it's because there is _a_ ward ability.
@@bukkfrig I'm still honestly surprised because there's the animation for ward pulsing on the card the whole time like a warning for people who don't read. At that point they should just remove the "do you wanna do this?" prompt and let people make mistakes. Its what happens in magic.
@@KiuhKobold I think they actually did remove that. There was a video Nummy did in the early access stream where he targeted something with ward and the message didn't pop up.
I think the skeleton deck is a lot better in historic/explorer tbf. You get skeletal swarming, clattering augur, mutavault, thoughtseize, etc.. Really fun deck in my experience. Would be cool if LVD checked it out some time.
LVD: "I'm playing this in the Preview event, so we're not playing against the typical meta decks" Opponent in game 6: "Nah, I'm good. Here's Rakdos sacrifice without any OTJ cards (except for one dino that I cannot even cast)."
The enchantment is an insane lord. No toughness bonus but haste, a separate permanent and the self bounce are all great. It only lacked members of the tribe but now it has enough. This deck seems to have real legs for future standard Or should I say, femur and tibia
In the 3rd match, not attacking with Tinybones when you weren't blocking with him was the 1 point of damage you needed to win Edit: Picking on poor Eliott_Dragon lol, 3 matches against him
@LegenVD true, but you did take either 9 or 12 damage from it and it blocked at the end saving them another 4 damage. I'm not sure if they would have even blocked and have it die to tinybones Edit: also once they got the cauldron out, it was making treasures being alive
8:55 Keeping a 3 mana card on top of your library instead of digging for your third land seems absolutely insane to me. ESPECIALLY when you would have been able to cast their Gix if you drew a land.
People weren’t using them much and there are a lot of other creators doing set reviews. Felt like it was getting a little saturated, so prefer putting my efforts elsewhere.
Could you not put the format somewhere in the title or thumbnail? Im only interestedbin historic brawl, so i watch 10 seconds of each video and leave afterwards. Cant imagine thats great for the algorithm
You can check out the Brawl playlist on my UA-cam channel page! If you follow my decks on Patreon or Aetherhub you’ll also see the formats listed there.
Thanks for the reply but I usually get this videos in my subscriptions or home. Going through the steps you described takes pretty much the same time as skipping a few seconds trough the video. Maybe a small icon in the thumbnail, like the black mana symbol or even smaller. Regular viewers could easily figure out which icon is for which format
@@honestabe411 not sure why you react so aggressive about my suggestion. I just commented about an inconvenience i have with this videos and how to possibly solve them. I assume other people might have the same issue. Its not like i would or could force LVD to change anything.
And here I thought we weren’t getting an upload today
Internet Explorer checking out the skeleton video is quite fitting!
@@LegenVD Stop, hes already dead. D:
*taps Tinybones* "Go, do a crime"
🤣💀

Magic the Gathering is a game of pure skill, unless I'm losing, then it's rigged garbage.
@@astuteanansi4935 Nothing more true has ever been said.
So glad preview events are back, it's my favorite content.
@redemptiongames2K24 Why would you have been invited? Only 210 subs and you don't make Magic content.
I’ve been addicted to skeletons for the past couple months and I’m SO glad there’s a new skeleton that doesn’t enter tapped
I envy Eliott, getting matched with LVD not only once but thrice.
LVD: hello my archenemy
The first time in a while I see ward actually get the opponent

It's not unheard of. Just the other day an opponent tried to target my Vain Ripper and did not have a creature out to pay the ward cost.
@@KiuhKobold I think they actually did remove that. There was a video Nummy did in the early access stream where he targeted something with ward and the message didn't pop up.
I’ve been having some fun with the lost souls skeletons already, excited to improve upon it with this deck!
I like how you versed Elliot dragon three times.
Very nice, i wish skeletal swarming was still in standard for this.

First!
Sir thats cheating
@@manbagan ¯\_💀_/¯
@@manbagan sounds like a skill issue on our part tbh
Legend is pulling out all the fun today. Great vid and the comments possibly better 😂
Fun deck. Cool concept and great content overall. Excited to see what brews you have in the new set.
Been trying to make a Treasure deck forever, happy to see the new set enables it
Man I really missed these early views on the last set release. Glad we got one for this set.
I half expected the chair.
no chair :(
Skeletons have no triggers (Aside from Tinybones

I have both a standard legal and historic skellie deck on arena, and I'm glad I'll be able to tweak my standard deck with Gisa and more skellies!
Skellys are back in standard! Yay
Skeletons was my first standard deck and I love them
Great video!
A bunch of interesting new decks facing of against each other. Praise the preview xD
I always wanted Skeleton deck! I hope we have more descent skeleton commanders in future not only Tinybones
great content as always!
Appreciate it!
looks like a fun tribal deck i wont have the rare wildcards for ^^
The enchantment is an insane lord. No toughness bonus but haste, a separate permanent and the self bounce are all great.
It only lacked members of the tribe but now it has enough.
This deck seems to have real legs for future standard
Or should I say, femur and tibia
You could even say that they're... skele-fun.
Was watching the Malone match up on his channel. Was rather funny 😂
In the 3rd match, not attacking with Tinybones when you weren't blocking with him was the 1 point of damage you needed to win
Edit: Picking on poor Eliott_Dragon lol, 3 matches against him
True, although giving them all those Treasures early also could’ve backfired. They likely wanted to trade right away.
@LegenVD true, but you did take either 9 or 12 damage from it and it blocked at the end saving them another 4 damage. I'm not sure if they would have even blocked and have it die to tinybones
Edit: also once they got the cauldron out, it was making treasures being alive
Hope there could be a skele-men commander deck from this. :)
25:56 Tiny bones only works on nonland permanents, which I didn’t realize either until I saw another streamer try to do something similar
Right, it says 'cast' not 'play'. Easy to miss.
Good point!
8:55 Keeping a 3 mana card on top of your library instead of digging for your third land seems absolutely insane to me. ESPECIALLY when you would have been able to cast their Gix if you drew a land.
Not when he had good board presence with double removal in hand. The 3 mana card presents an extra hasty threat to cross the finish line.
Is this the closest we'll get to a skeleton tribal deck? Sign me in
This deck can be lights peed gas at times. Scary fast. I saw CGB crushing ass in the event with the skelly deck. 😅😂
Have been using it as well recently but I almost forgot Mishra's Foundry was a card.
Did you get a chance to try Rush of Dread?
Rush of Dread deck coming soon on the MTGA Channel!
Do a skeleton themed brawl deck!!!
.
.

Alright, on to the next one!
Tinybones looks like an animal crossing villager showing you a bug they just caught
I have to say, if you're going to play against the same player three times, it's always great when they're a good sport.
BONE CRIME LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
sad that Skeletal Swarming isn't in standard any more
Defeating The Master of Mono-black with Mono-black! D: Maloney will not be pleased 😅
Epic skeleton with letter "g"
No limited set review? : (
Corpses of the lost is a great aggro card
Is the spreadsheet rating OTJ cards for limited out yet?
People weren’t using them much and there are a lot of other creators doing set reviews. Felt like it was getting a little saturated, so prefer putting my efforts elsewhere.
Aw man I used them to beat out the competition do you recommend an alternative?
@@patrickevanroach7498limited level ups is unbeatable.
25:50 Tinybones can't cast Gleeful Demolition cause he only casts permanents from the grave.
How is your impression of the set? :)
How do you access the preview?
Be a streamer/content creator
@@honestabe411 oh. Well thanks anyways
They fixed your name!
so wizard doing again previews... i thought they would never come back
Elliot Dragon was 3 of the 5 matches. lol. You went 2 of 3 in those matches.
And people complain about the lack of bo3 content!
A minor Skeleton? Why did they have to die so young?!
I love tinybones thank you so much for using him
Its a shame skeleton crew is a commander card. Would of fit right in
Yay skellis
“Look at this meme” ahh thumbnail
No set review?? 😢😢 dad please
spooky
poor Elliott
No Death Baron? What are we doing here?
It’s not in Standard unfortunately.
@@LegenVD That's why I never play standard. Standard is always boring.
I see you changed your avatar 🤓
Two lands are plenty 😅
Should i build this deck i would probably be banned from my lgs just because i would the "miner not minor" joke from Galaxy Quest far too often...
Yikes
