Thanks for the honest assessment of deck strength at the end. Sometimes these types of videos can give a false impression of how the deck will perform "in the wild"
@1:40 you mention a previous video using the Mystic Reflection/Reverent Hoplite combo. Would be neat to have a small annotation or plug in there to that previous video for newcomers or those that missed it. Or even a link in the description to it. Great video nonetheless Legend, love the content!
Mono Black Magic did a similar take but used Nyxbloom Ancient instead of Valkyrie to generate a ton of mana. Then he ran Midnight Clock out and drew 7 cards with 2000+ mana.
Valkyrie and Mystic Reflection is one of my favorite combos in this Standard environment. I always love seeing new takes on it, and you can bet I’ll be giving this deck a spin!
You know, I actually find it ironic. I love the idea of you playing "The Ravens Warning" and with it, your "fortell"ing your opponent their "rightous" demise. :) The hound deck is the best example, he ignored the ravens warning and got greedy with setting up winota, a rightous victory for LVD xD
@@nomenestomen3452 But isn't the "person of culture" the (implied) pun in itself already? Or maybe further punnifying the whole thing by saying, "...a person of culture. Or should I say a person of... agriculture." Which would perhaps make it quite worse. I just think the execution was rather good already as it was.
Love the Deck! Ive been looking for a Hoplite-kombo a long time and this one finally works for me. The one in the last video didnt :( And even I only win 1 out of 5-7, if I win its awsome!! Thanks for all the great content the last couple years! Best creator within MTGA!
This reminds of some nonsense that monoblackmagic did some weeks ago where he finished over 3000 life :D Great video again! I do really like your intros and the pace in your voice it is pleasant to hear you ^^
Most creative MTG player on UA-cam. I see more unique decks on this channel than any other. Most channels are just copycats. I enjoyed your last dragon deck, but I really wish you would make a deck around that one legendary dragon from M21 that can’t attack unless you have four artifacts. I forgot his name. I really want to see that dragon be good but I’ve never seen a deck with him.
@@LegenVD Ah, I should have clarified. I meant standard deck. I only know cards since Eldraine so I don’t follow Historic 😓 but thank you for replying!
@@LegenVD That was standard? Omg that’s so crazy. Time flies. I was thinking historic but the video even says standard. That must’ve been that short time before all of the older cards rotated out. I’ll say it again that you really are the best deck builder. I can’t imagine some of these decks but then the synergy is so good. Thanks and keep it up!
@@LegenVD I really enjoyed the dragon deck you made the other day. I was just sad there was no Gadrak! Legendary dragon who didn’t make the cut in a dragon deck. I just want him to be good but he’s not. Nobody plays him.

And he does it again... This deck looks like great fun...
I would love to try this list in competitive standard, I think its close because I love the combo against naya/bant/selesnya adventures. I am not sure about the runed halo/ravens package though
They didn’t really give a good reason but I imagine it’s either: 1) to nerf wishboard on the concept that people with wishboard mechanics are playing with 15 more cards than anyone else in Bo1 2) WotC thinks Bo3 decks will legit want like 7 Lesson cards which, if true, makes them and Bo1 decks more similar metawise (narrowing the Bo1/3 meta differences would make R&D easier) Or 3) they actually think lesson cards are busted as hell and they’re preemptive nerfing it. I’m far from a meta genius and I haven’t seriously looked at all the lesson cards but they all seem mostly like over costed bonuses to any plan and no real obvious stronk. The really meta 2 for 1 stuff in Eldraine like Bonecrusher is over costed so who knows how powerful it ends up being.
Quick question, but do you(or anyone who reads this) have any standard decks that ONLY include M21 and kaldheim cards? Just got back into MTG and got a few booster boxes of both those sets. It's just i'm having a hard time trying to find any decks that only include those sets. Everything I can find has lots of cards from older sets that I just don't have. Help a fan out if you have the time thanks!
Check out my Sultai Snow deck on CFB, it only uses Kaldheim: strategy.channelfireball.com/all-strategy/mtg/channelmagic-videos/standard-budget-brews-sultai-snow-legenvd/
I've tried this deck and can't get the combo to work. I cast reverent, but it won't let me cast the other spell to copy the Valkyrie. Is there something in the settings to turn on/off?
39:45 Looks like you would have had 1,548 life here. 18+12+22*(8*9-3)=1,548 Also, Arena really doesn't seem to like more than 64 triggers on the stack.
That's a Righteous intro ;) Do you know what is the argument for reducing the wishboards in Bo1 to only 7 cards? Seems completely arbitrary to me. Not that I play a lot of Bo1 but it really limits the options
Not sure I'm a big fan of them doing this to best of 1. It was already a problem how best of one steers people away from anything but aggro. Aggro is fine but players should feel like they have real and competitive options.
"our opponent's a person of culture" without skipping a beat or even snickering. You must be wonderful at poker parties.
Plz NEVER change the musical openings! Great way to open.
Lol but he usually doesn't because he already has to do a ton of editing work just to upload the way he normally does.
Intro music was perfect when making all of those angels 😆
Thanks for the honest assessment of deck strength at the end. Sometimes these types of videos can give a false impression of how the deck will perform "in the wild"
"We can probably afford to attack" says the man with 349 life
So funny!
Luca, you are one of the only people that could ever make Azorius interesting to me. This deck is amazing! Keep up the great work! 😄
Glad you enjoy it!
That intro. That PAUSE before the life gain begins, the glorious entrance of the angels. Absolutely on point
@1:40 you mention a previous video using the Mystic Reflection/Reverent Hoplite combo. Would be neat to have a small annotation or plug in there to that previous video for newcomers or those that missed it. Or even a link in the description to it. Great video nonetheless Legend, love the content!
Yeah, I meant to add those.
I can never get enough of the classical music openings. Please never stop xD
30:13 There's a better line here: If you sac Linvala to give hexproof your opponent is forced to point the copy at his own Sea Gate Stormcaller.
Good point!
Mono Black Magic did a similar take but used Nyxbloom Ancient instead of Valkyrie to generate a ton of mana. Then he ran Midnight Clock out and drew 7 cards with 2000+ mana.
yeah that sounds like him
Hilarious, but when you try it, you face monored and sultai yorion first 4 matches and delete the deck

Missed pun when opp. played collossal plow: Our opponent ist a person of agriculture.
Hm, confused. Where's the pun itself?
@@PM-gf1nj Our opponent is a person of (agri-) culture

The machine gun of Valkyrie triggers is extremely satisfying.
Mystic Reflections is just a gift that keeps on giving!

Ok.
Now your just showing off with the intro
(Not gonna lie I did get chills and I did love it)
This reminds of some nonsense that monoblackmagic did some weeks ago where he finished over 3000 life :D
Great video again! I do really like your intros and the pace in your voice it is pleasant to hear you ^^
Those classical songs in the beggining are always great!
The openings have been great, man
25:16 the delivery of that line is exquisite in it's normalcy
Love me some hoplite reflection combo!
Those intros always catch me so hard, I immediatly open Arena and start crafting cards.
That Valkyrie copy is the dream that jank is made of!
You need to it with ramp and Phylath, World Sculptor. Nothing like gaining like 4k health and if your creatures survive, dealing like 1k damage.
amazing deck! I was looking for something to do with my Mystic reflections :D
thanks man, MTG is way more fun without just tier 1 decks
"And we can probably afford to attack."
-LVD, casually at 349 life
Best video intro I've ever seen.
Wow, it's me xDD 8:30. I'm beyond honored to have lost to you, hahaha

combo decks are crazy
Yay, musical intros are back baby!
This video is a great example of why you should not play with your food: either it surrenders 18:12 or it kills you 34:45.
sometimes i don't have time to watch your videos but i take my time for your intro! xD
Great video man. Are you planning on a set review this time around?
Will stream it this Saturday with a video coming later.
@@LegenVD You're the best man. Thanks. Love those set reviews!
Who else plays the LVD mini-game where you try to figure out the deck from the title before playing the video? 😅
I am 😂
When I saw the lesson cards first thing I thought was this is really for bo1 doesn't surprise me the change for 7 max sideboard cards
There are many ways to break Reverent Hoplite, and LVD will find every last one of them
I would love to try this list in competitive standard, I think its close because I love the combo against naya/bant/selesnya adventures. I am not sure about the runed halo/ravens package though
I saw LVD had an unseen video on my part. What nonsense! Time to fix that
Love the intros
I hear the opening music and immediately think "oh gosh, his poor opponent"
Last time I was this early , LVD still replied
I was wondering, are you usualy playing in the play que or in constructed events for your content?
nice deck Legend ;) Can you please do some about Liliana and zombies? I love her, but don´t have so much experience to make a own idea to build it.
Budget Zombies article and video coming to CFB later today!
Oh I didn’t know about that sideboard rule change. What was their reasoning?
Probably to nerf Learn/Lesson cards.
They’re limiting BO1 sideboards to seven cards instead of the full 15. Nerfs wishboard BO1 decks but cest’ la vie.
They didn’t really give a good reason but I imagine it’s either:
1) to nerf wishboard on the concept that people with wishboard mechanics are playing with 15 more cards than anyone else in Bo1
2) WotC thinks Bo3 decks will legit want like 7 Lesson cards which, if true, makes them and Bo1 decks more similar metawise (narrowing the Bo1/3 meta differences would make R&D easier)
Or 3) they actually think lesson cards are busted as hell and they’re preemptive nerfing it.

Wizards: ... and in Strixhaven, Witherbloom is the life gain faction!
Legend: Let me show you how it's done.
Lovely!
I LOVE YOU LVD
In the channel of monoblack you have a record where he did 3000HP
Cool intro

@@LegenVD thanks for responding dude. I think I'm going to buy one of your decks.
Lmao that intro
Could someone explain to me the Righteous Valks triggers and how there were so many
Each Valkyrie sees the other Valkyries enter the battlefield.
It's similar to how Valakut triggers work in Modern Scapeshift.
very nice
Righteous!
35:37 if you play omen in response to robber, you’ll each have the same amount of cards in hand and robber won’t trigger
Omen draws a card, so that's not going to work.
@@LegenVD ohhhhh u right
Whats this about sideboards being limited to 7 cards in Strixhaven?
Oh no, my poor fae of wishes!
That intro!🤣🤣🤣
I've tried this deck and can't get the combo to work. I cast reverent, but it won't let me cast the other spell to copy the Valkyrie. Is there something in the settings to turn on/off?
Enter full control (press ctrl) before casting it.
39:45 Looks like you would have had 1,548 life here. 18+12+22*(8*9-3)=1,548
Also, Arena really doesn't seem to like more than 64 triggers on the stack.
Each Valkyrie doesn't trigger off itself, so you would have (8*8-3) of the triggers that gain 22 life.
That's a Righteous intro ;)
Do you know what is the argument for reducing the wishboards in Bo1 to only 7 cards? Seems completely arbitrary to me. Not that I play a lot of Bo1 but it really limits the options
Gaining all the life makes me belly laugh.
YO THIS INTRO
THIS IS WHY MTG HAS BECOME YUGIOH AND NO ONE WILL CONVINCE ME ANY DIFFERENT
Anyone know LVD’s accent?
i'm sorry, the hallelujah chorus is perfect for the intro lol
You're cool, friend
Thanks!
We can start attacking he says.
7 cards in sideboard? Is it a new rule?
It will be soon.
@@LegenVD thank you
So god damn greedy that Winota player was!
Hello hello. 😀
Am I the only one noticed what's going on with youtube link to this video? Like wth youtube?
Haha
Truthfully... how many games did you have to play with this deck to get several watchable matches?
Not sure I'm a big fan of them doing this to best of 1. It was already a problem how best of one steers people away from anything but aggro. Aggro is fine but players should feel like they have real and competitive options.
Hi!
'ah i see, colossal plow ... our opponent is a person of culture' ... lols ... i.e. not just a mono red player hahaha
Poor Winota player, he just wanted to show off his dogs
Yo
first!
nvm damn
ew...
