"Alright, we're on the draw with a... [hovers over Solid Footing]... solid hand" Would've given my like right here if I didn't already like every LegenVD video right at the start
LegenVD is that perfect combo of Jank and competitive. The embodiment of winning while maintaining creativity. Hands down my favorite MTG content creator. This is what magic should be.
Not gonna lie, during the deck tech I thought this would never work. Wow! What's nice is it's non cancer and even let's ur opponent play his deck the first few turns lol
At first I was like “why not blahblahblah “ and then “oh!!! It’s standard!” Great brewing. Love how you only play viable jank decks. (Though I would def watch unviable jank as well)
I just tried this deck, it didn't do well at all. Any form of bounce, counter, or creature removal takes the crab out of the picture and the deck is sunk. I also had trouble reliably getting both Solid Footing and Sentinels Eyes, meaning my crab was just a big blocker as my life total slowly dwindled down. I would say I won about 20% of the games I played with this deck.
I mean, what did you expect? It's based around a super janky 3 (at least) card combo that requires your opponent to not have anyinteraction or blockers.. sooo yeah. Nobody ever claimed this deck was going to help you crush ladder with it
Great video as always LVD. Would you happen to know what kind of changes you'd make to the deck to use it for historic? Huatli and High Alert for Solid Footing and Sentinel's Eyes, and the shocklands and checklands for sure, anything else?
I feel a little dumb for not noticing that Charix was AN ENTIRE GAMEBOARD. I don't know if that means it was well or poorly executed... A 'tree falls in the woods' kinda deal. :/
Yeah, to sad the deck was to tight to fit in Alseid of Life's Bounty. If they just would have released a set with such an effect attached to a land for a deck where evasion and removal protection is very much needed...
This dude at 20:24 beats himself with a completely unnecessary mutate onto the Starrix stack. I hate these clowns in Arena trying to maximize their damage/board presence before winning. When your opponent is obviously "dead on board" you just end it.
Are you cherry picking which games to upload? Not that I'm against that at all...I'd rather watch wins then your loses. It's just you didn't show any decks with a lot of creature removal here. I'd think this deck is rather weak to such?
i mean, this one-trick decks are fine, they get you the wins but in mind that is not what magic is about... I've been playing a dumbass deck, 5-color disaster that does nothing and everything at the same time. so much fun playing against boring mono red haste decks, humiliating some rogue decks, mono green doesnt even stand a chance, etc.. the direction in which more and more standard players are going is so boring and unimaginative...i got this alternative way of deck building from playing the Vintage Cube a lot with friends at home so if you never played older cards and seeing the dumb combinations magic can provide I understand but I really advise people to dig in and see what lies behind the curtain of a boring deck with high percentage of wins. unless you are shooting for that mythic ranking ....but still. and this is not a comment towards you LVD but to other people watching your videos. I do not doubt your skills or your knowledge of magic:).
Love seeing that mutate player go too far and mill themselves! Such a big misplay and cost them the game. Love seeing stupid players on Arena like this xD
21:00 the guy is a hero, the possibility of decking out never should stop a man from establishing maximum dominance. What a chad.
It's not about winning, it's about sending a message.
He was the real winner.
Was going to say the same thing... what a legend
Only win is important

That self-mill on the mutate deck was incredible.
Yes, it was hyStarrixcal.
there was literally no reason to play the last mutate dude lol
I played against a Starrix Mutate deck before that did the EXACT same thing!😨
If I didn't know any better I'd say it was the SAME player!😳
The mutate deck it's so strong that beat itself....
HAHAHAHAHA!
death by power overdose
Idk, dude... all I saw was winning.
@@literallysomedudeliterally9470 ?
"I used the mutate to destroy the mutate."
34:19 "Charix is not a coward" got me by surprise lmao
"Alright, we're on the draw with a... [hovers over Solid Footing]... solid hand"
Would've given my like right here if I didn't already like every LegenVD video right at the start
I wanted to see a Standard brew with Charix ever since I first saw the card and you, sir, did not disappoint. A fairly budget-friendly deck, too!
LegenVD is that perfect combo of Jank and competitive. The embodiment of winning while maintaining creativity. Hands down my favorite MTG content creator. This is what magic should be.
That’s why I call him the Lord of Johnnys lol
"I'm sure they were shell-shocked there in the end" - I love you, you dorky amazing man.
Didn't even notice that one!
The lack of any epic graphic for an 0/17 legendary island crab... sadness and a missed opportunity
To be fair they did at least give him his own gameboard, which even the fanciest mythics don't get to have.
Indie development company
Please don’t insult Charix by implying that his incredible girth could fit on a screen. We’re lucky that they made him a whole ass play field
LordofWolves92 Lol
Wow that was such a fun game! I've never seen a Starrix deck get so out of hand. Super simple yet fun deck. Charix!
Great philosophy: "Sometimes, you win with Starrix... sometimes, you lose with Starrix."
I guess I'll make a tattoo with that writing
@@giorgiofaccini5022 before you get that tat its Charix not starrix lolll
Not gonna lie, during the deck tech I thought this would never work. Wow! What's nice is it's non cancer and even let's ur opponent play his deck the first few turns lol
"Nevermind. My opponent's just dead here." You are the Kenshiro of MTG Arena.
At first I was like “why not blahblahblah “ and then “oh!!! It’s standard!”
Great brewing. Love how you only play viable jank decks. (Though I would def watch unviable jank as well)
Solid footing on an island-sized crab. That is some VERY solid footing.
Very nice. You gave the legendary crab it's day in the sun.
Just pulled Charix from a booster pack. Guess I’ll start building the deck!
Glad you make this deck! Somehow pull 4 of those crabs and I didn't know what to do!
I love decks which win by bamboozling the opponent! Great video :)
Okay, this is gonna be awesome 😍
It's finally here.
Finally something to do with my full playset of charix!
Sentinel's Eyes is such an underrated card, I'm so happy to see someone use it!
Love it. Could definitely see Phase Dolphin in the deck too ...
"Shell-shocked" 😂
🐚🐚🐚
I was waiting for this video since the day I first saw this crab. Now I can die in peace. Thank you so much. 😌
I love this deck.
It is fun. Not competitive but it is good.
Pros: Can one-shot opponent with one creature
Cons: Very possible to lose to a red starter deck
Alseid really seems like a good addition.
i'd love to see a 4c omnath tribal/elemental deck in historic. How powerful can he be in a format with uro, risen reef, growth spiral, etc.
#LegenVD What about the same deck but adding testsuko in historic to give creatures unblockable?
we out here playing voltron in standard... i might actually try that lol
Holy crab, wat er deck!
His voice so satisfying
Crabtastic
I know it be the wrong video, but would it make sense to put the landfall griffen in the +1/+1 counter deck?
Oh yes I've been waiting for this one
Starrix knockout was funny
Cake + milk + your voice = perfect evening
Match 2: So there is a thing as too much value!
THE HUBRIS
that game 3 though
that 20/20 at the end lmao

Yes this deck is complete trash
“...meme deck not meant for competitive play.”
That’s about as obvious as he could make it.
Charrix can sure get you out of a pinch
Time for Crab
Charix: Has ability to trade toughness for power.
Every youtuber: But what if you just smashed them with your toughness?
“Solid hand”😂❤️
Listen, listen to his smile when he says The Name for the first time.
And attack for 22.
What do you mean "The Name"? When?
@@eggegg9026 The first time his says His Name, in the introduction
@@shatzinorris1417 Aaah you mean when he says Charix, the Raging Isle.
25:20 I love your humour
Is the Karametras Blessing to much for this deck?
i would have conceded long ago in the mutate matchup with 3 starix :) How can LVD be so patient :)
people underestimate Charix, but he comes thru in a pinch
State of MTG, slam whatever mutate creature you can on a hexproof dork and put half your deck into battlefield by turn 5. GLORIOUS DESIGN.
Great video as always LVD. Would you happen to know what kind of changes you'd make to the deck to use it for historic? Huatli and High Alert for Solid Footing and Sentinel's Eyes, and the shocklands and checklands for sure, anything else?
I think the match 3 opponent was kinda crabby with his loss :D
LMFAO that third game your ass was grass but the opponents card was a liability to himself/herself. Rest in Pepperoni
seems strong
u mess with the crabbo u get the stabbo
How are you finding jank decks to play against even in normal queue i find uros
Awesome deck! Do you think it's worth it to run a set of Izzet and Boros pathways to splash for Raking Claws? Or is that unnecessary?
Seems like a win-more card, trample seems like something you want more then double-strike. But also seems that there isn't enough space for that. :)
@@wimfranken826 That's a fair point, shave a Thirst and Omen for a couple Crash Throughs maybe?
Does LegenVD narrate over the gameplay rather than while he is playing?
It's a live recording.
I feel a little dumb for not noticing that Charix was AN ENTIRE GAMEBOARD. I don't know if that means it was well or poorly executed... A 'tree falls in the woods' kinda deal. :/
woo!
The mutate deck should have run Yorion and a 80 card deck.
Selfmill done the wrong way.
I know it's legit and all, but I find mill so empty and boring as a strategy.
It's empty - like your deck!
Sorry, man. I had to. I hear you. Milling can be boring.
Maybe some shadowspears better to get the damage through.
That’s my secret mirror breaker tech.

Why you don't play in ranked vs more power full deck ?
I love turtles
Yeah, to sad the deck was to tight to fit in Alseid of Life's Bounty. If they just would have released a set with such an effect attached to a land for a deck where evasion and removal protection is very much needed...
I had that land in the deck for a while but ended up cutting it.
First game was awfully rude 😂
Fearless charix lol
This is Flavoursome, not unlike Crab :^)
This whole time I've been pronouncing it Chair-ix, but of course it's Kerr-ix. Durrr.
we win with... CHONKY CRAB

imagine having all the cards in your hand then someone uses a heartless act lmao
@Rufus Flywheel broo, imagine if someone got really pissed at a comment stating a hypothetical situation, crazy right?
The only game you lost was vs another crab
Crabs tier 1 confirmed!
Yo
33:31 "Ambusher-sher"
Talk about getting carried away by your mutate deck lol.
Never been this early on a video before. Nothing smart to say about it though.
Shell-shocked. Lol.
Are you cherry picking which games to upload? Not that I'm against that at all...I'd rather watch wins then your loses.
It's just you didn't show any decks with a lot of creature removal here. I'd think this deck is rather weak to such?
That's because playing removal in Standard hasn't really been a thing for a while.
