This was beautiful to watch. Your knowledge of the game is unrivaled among UA-camrs. Thank you for the work you put into these. Your videos make my day =]
I love the Kenreth inclusion. The other videos on youtube of fires of invention seemed to be control themed with no way to tap lands after you got a fires in play. Meaning they were only ever getting 2/3rds of the efficiency of fires.
Hey Legen, thanks for making a video on this. I've been playing this non-stop for a few days and I like your take on it. I didn't have Kenrith but now I'm putting him in for sure because I desperately needed life gain. I would consider putting in ethereal absolution in your sideboard because that card shuts out a lot of aggro.
Glad to hear! Absolution is definitely a good suggestion. I figures Chandra had most of those problems covered already but Absolution can be much better vs Cavalcade decks.
One line that I think you missed in the Oko game was that Planar Cleansing would destroy the Fires of Invention as well, allowing you to play more than the 2 spells, and it would also destroy the other food tokens, so the Wolf wouldn't have fuel to survive other sweepers. But as always, great game! It's very instructive to watch you play and reason : )
I believe it's time to update the Drawn from Dreams card text to match the mtga real play experience: Draw seven lands, then put two non-land cards into your hand. Concede.
Man, I really hope you make a reanimator deck using Kenrith. I feel like there's so much potential to have a legit reanimator deck in standard again, but feel like I'm missing a piece to the puzzle to make it consistent.
Pretty sure if one target is lost exchange never happens so you wouldn't have gotten the food if bounced the Faerie. Anyway great deck, do you think it's a viable one to try and build for Bo3? Or is it just too dependant on multiple options in the sideboard? I guess you can play it like this and swap dead cards for the best ones in the sideboard but then you wouldn't be able to wish for them, it would be pretty akwkward.
Indeed, I double checked the ruling. Definitely gets worse in BO3, but might still be able to make it work. It's not only losing sideboard slots that's the issue, but also the opponent having more answers to FIres of Invention.
Really good deck as always Legend but really wish some new op deck for climbing. More draft please cause its super useful right now as people want to draft to complete the set.
Yeah As a Simic Flash player I have to say that turn-1 Knight of the Ebon Legion means a lose xD No real way to deal with it outside chumpblocking or Unsummon/Brazen whatever
@@LegenVDI Initially thought Kenrith plus Emergency Powers into Drakuseth could be a pretty nasty combination, but that extra land could be an issue. It works with the Realm Giant too! Addendum would have broken Fires if any of the cards had been decent.

Love the Aragorn photoshop in the thumbnail.
Holy shit, you're right. I just thought they looked really really similar
Damn you Legend. I gotta study for an exam but you keep tempting me with these excellent and enticing videos. Damn your work ethic and great videos
39:30 That's actually flavorful, oko turned kenrith into an elk in the first place
This was beautiful to watch. Your knowledge of the game is unrivaled among UA-camrs.

I found out about this guy like a week ago and feel the same way.
That thumbnail was absolutely excellent.
Watching you play and commenting over it makes me pretty much enjoy every single deck in the format
this new Kenrith Lamar track is straight up FIRE
I love the Kenreth inclusion. The other videos on youtube of fires of invention seemed to be control themed with no way to tap lands after you got a fires in play. Meaning they were only ever getting 2/3rds of the efficiency of fires.
I know a lot of Grixis sets use the blue castle. A "free" scry two every turn is so strong.
I use blue and black castles along with karn's bastion and blastzone on my grixis fires
That Aragorn crop on the thumbnail tho. That's some quality stuff
Spent way too much time on it 😂
You had me at the thumbnail. Really enjoy your videos!!
5 am in Brazil. Psychologist in 5 hours, and here I am watching the legend
I wonder if you mean you have a visit with a phychologist or you are becoming one.
In either cases I would not wake up at 5am xD
Omg pls go sleep
I'm loving the references at the end of your videos. Keep up the good work! :D
I would love to see more of this deck. It looks really cool
Love the Overgrown Tomb in the sideboard
ffs i actually thought it was aargons face on the card for a second you cheeky bastard
this deck is neat, and i love the way you make videos, so i dont know if its too much to ask but "we" would like another one of this

Such an interesting game to lose by time out. I'm amazed you kept so calm despite it.
Really clever deck!
That casualties made me lol, its kind of mean... reminded me of a land destruction deck I used to play back in the day.
I love the shared summons kenrith combo
This is definitely my favourite deck - I spent all my cards on an oko food deck but it is too popular! I'm definitely saving up for this
One line that I think you missed in the Oko game was that Planar Cleansing would destroy the Fires of Invention as well, allowing you to play more than the 2 spells, and it would also destroy the other food tokens, so the Wolf wouldn't have fuel to survive other sweepers.

Nice. That was definitely the play. Wicked Wolf is a nightmare for control decks
This was an interesting deck
I’m running 2 glint horn buccaneer and 3 royal scions with this, to give the deck a sorta stall while you find fires that is actually pretty affective
I had no idea Aragon was in this set!
22:41 I was half asleep when I saw the hand come. Scared me senseless
4c wolves for next vid pls! Love how u explain your thought process!
So much going on in this deck
I believe it's time to update the Drawn from Dreams card text to match the mtga real play experience:
Draw seven lands, then put two non-land cards into your hand. Concede.
Many more possibilities for this one now Fires is back in Historic in 2022. Time to revisit?
Ral would be so good in this deck. His -2 is super usefull with Fires, letting you cast 3-4 cards that turn instead.
You're gonna make lotr thumbnails like jim Davis now? I like it :)
Sad to see this deck underperformed. It looked super powerful. Might give it a try myself later today anyways.
Returned king is the first card I crafted from the new set
I think some form of creature stealing in the SB could be good since it acts as a removal and blocker using only 1 spell slot
After that game vs Oko and Wolf I came to the same conclusion. While a nonbo with Fires, I could always play Mass Manipulation.
Opp's name at 33:40 😂😂😂
Magicarps are being looked for, that's for damn sure :D
Man, I really hope you make a reanimator deck using Kenrith. I feel like there's so much potential to have a legit reanimator deck in standard again, but feel like I'm missing a piece to the puzzle to make it consistent.
What colours are you playing? My initial thoughts are abzan, or perhaps 4colour not red
F in the Chat for Fires of Yavimaya. OG Fire
PRIMO VIDEO THUMBNAIL, CAME FOR THE THUMBNAIL STAYED TO SEE HOW BADASS ARAGORN'S ARMY BECAME.

Why does legend never play ranked standard?
Probably to not de-rank since he doesnt always showcase tier 1 decks.
He probably doesn't want to lose rank playing janky decks. LVD is Mythic Championship material after all. :D
kenrith inclusion is galaxy-brain imo
For Gondor !
Someone was browsing reddit ;)
Compare this deck to green spam creatures... This deck is art.
Two tests today and a presentation tomorrow but I’m here getting scared by giant hand animations
Any updates to this list?
I've replaced Liliana with Taste of Death, but that's about it.
Just gonna say, if ur playing wht fae of wishs packaged, taste of death is underrated, its usually a wrath that gains u 9 life ffs...
Good point, might be better than Liliana.
Simic Flash is a tough match for every deck lol
It usually struggles vs aggro decks with relevant 1-drops.
Yeah
As a Simic Flash player I have to say that turn-1 Knight of the Ebon Legion means a lose xD
No real way to deal with it outside chumpblocking or Unsummon/Brazen whatever
Why no Drakuseths? Atleast that's my plan when I get 4 copies of FoI.
Without a way to give it haste it's not that great in a world of Oko and Teferi.
@@LegenVD that's why I added 2 Illharg ;) Works great with shared summons
@@krisk2710 Illharg is a bit of a nonbo with Drakuseth, as you don't get the attack trigger if you put it in play through the ability.
@@LegenVD you're right , just experienced it doesn't work. Agent of Treachery could be fun
maybe the 5mana riot dragon instead?
Definitely a consideration, but I think Kenrith is better for the most part.
That Casualties in the final game did not make me feel good.
Same... that was rough 😂
The last 2 matches where pretty bad since both opponents missed their land drops tbh
I'm gonna have to play gruul this entire season because I hate simic flash so much
Emergency Powers
Would be good if we had Narset, but given the creature-heavy approach she isn't very exciting.
@@LegenVDI Initially thought Kenrith plus Emergency Powers into Drakuseth could be a pretty nasty combination, but that extra land could be an issue. It works with the Realm Giant too! Addendum would have broken Fires if any of the cards had been decent.
i think you really want cavalier of flame the card can just blow up your opponent
Man, UG Flash is kind of the deck to beat. What an annoying deck.
This is a little mean... but
Ez youtube money:

teferi, deafening clarion, time wipe... what a cancerous deck
