My first match at the prerelease was against someone with Twinflame Tyrant, Swiftfoot Boots to protect the Tyrant, and Electroduplicate to make token copies of the Tyrant. I lost in 16 minutes in front of my new-to-Magic friend I was showing the prerelease to and had to wait 45 minutes for the round to end. “I can’t believe I got killed by Leyline of Resonance in *Sealed*,”, I complained to my experienced friends, while the new friend wandered around the comic shop and wondered why there’s an hour between rounds.

@@burnburn645probably the old version . Cat pact is just referring to the harmless offering and demonic pact combo, the cat comes from the artwork of harmless offering.
I actually expected a burn deck when I got the notification with how this video is titled! Haha I'm glad to be wrong though! Dragons are awesome as hell! This deck is sick! Appreciate you Luca!!! 🔥🤘
Yes, but not really. The bloodletter alos doubles life loss effects in addtition to damage, since damage is lifeloss. The twinflame only doubles damage.
I still think the alchemy buff to the orbs of dragonkind were ridiculous but at least they printed the real version in foundations. Oh they just printed the red one huh

Cool deck! I wish you played Best of 3 more. You are a great deck builder, player and teacher. It seems like best of 3 would be right up your alley. I'm curious why you don't make best of 3 videos more often. Either way, love what you do.!
Boring watching someone play the same opp up to 3 matches in a row, the whole video will have like 2 or 3 total different matchups. Bo1 he can have many more different decks to play against
Glad to be back playing and watching your videos. You always inspire me to try new things. Great video! Also i have some deck ideas that i'm brewing on but don't have the wild cards to craft in the near future. So, i'm gonna post a short description of them here so you or anyone reading can try it.

I've been trying to make a Rakdos deck featuring Twinflame and Bloodletter work for a while now. Do you think you could give your thoughts on that? I figure adding in that much damage doubling with some burn spells _has_ to work, but I haven't found the right combo yet.
hey LegenVD, if you see this, let me know if you think its any good. there's a deck i've been trying to make work. its izzet colors and its centered around annoying creatures like: Razorkin Needlehead Screaming Nemesis Scrawling Crawler Scalding Viper (maybe) and copying them as much as possible with like: Season of Weaving Silent Hallcreeper Mirror Room Mockingbird and so on... what do you think?
I'm just now getting into magic arena. Where should I start when it comes to decks and getting packs? It seems like you need to spend a lot of money to catch up.
Need to go enter all the promo codes from past releases (its like 30+ packs in total), there are websites with the list. I think the best way to get the most out of your $$ if you play every day you buy the season/mastery pass for the bonus rewards. Hoard your gold and crystals and spend your mythic and rare wildcards wisely.
If you want to play entirely for free, i would personally recommend playing with the starter decks for a bit and upgrading them as you go. Once you've saved up a bit of in game money, start playing draft. It's a good way to sharpen your skills, and you get to keep all the cards you pull. If you're good enough, the draft will pay for itself and reward you with packs on top of that.
Can anyone help understand this. Today I have played 10+ matches where I was 100% going to win but then doing my opponents turn the game shows the spinning loading thing and then the game crashes. And when I open the game again it does not resume the match but just sends me to the mainmenu like I was never in a match. It only happens when I am about win with a 100% certainty. If I an loosing it never happens. Are there really that many cheaters in MGTA?
According to gatherer, city on fire does stack if you have multiple copies. Solphim and torbran are legendary so you would need a non legendary copy mechanic.
@RWMAirgunsmithing but I thought replacement effects don't stack, the controller of the object that is being damaged gets to choose which replacement effect is used. Hmmmm I wonder what that's about, or if it changed. Thanks!
@@ericmason1285the replacement effects all stack, but the controller of the receiving permanent or player gets to choose the order they apply in, so if you have a twinflame tyrant and a torbran, they could choose to take double the damage and then add two instead of vice versa, which would make them take 2 less damage due to the added two not being doubled
@ that’s fair enough honestly I feel like sometimes I over stack my deck , side comment though, you should try making a demon dragon deck , feel like it could be potent cheers !🍻
@@john.flick.c4512 i feel like getting some kinda weird reanimate enchant/creature for 2x-3x damage of all and/or noncombat dmg , aka le jeskay/mardu, would be even more potent oi.
Too bad fiery emancipation is no longer standard legal. Imagine triple damage and double damages in your deck! Although it would be pretty expensive to get both them out in time.
It's basically the same deck our boy LVD showcased 1-2 weeks ago, so what is your point? Moreover, this dragon deck is basically the same (removal into big beaters)
Instead of "hand seems acceptable" i want to hear Luca excitedly shout "THIS HAND IS STRAIGHT FIRE NO CAP" , would provide a lot of value.
Now I have to see this happen!
oh god
dis 'and here be full o' value ey?
"this hand straight bussin bussin, fr"
I've know for 2 years that LegenVD is Luca, but I never getvused to it when people call him Luca in the comments 😂
I think this is the type of deck everyone who got into Magic wanted to make at least once :)

It warms my heart to see all these neat decks cropping up. Foundations is really feeling good
My inner Timmy is so happy!

Twinflame Tyrant is awesome. It’s like a red Bloodletter
Yes, but not really. The bloodletter alos doubles life loss effects in addtition to damage, since damage is lifeloss. The twinflame only doubles damage.
@ I’m aware, still comparable.
Cool dragon deck 👍
I still think the alchemy buff to the orbs of dragonkind were ridiculous but at least they printed the real version in foundations. Oh they just printed the red one huh
the art on Twinflame is just 👌 chef's kiss
Titles this fire provide a lot of value 🔥🔥
That Kiora deck looks so strong 😮
Picture this deck tech:
Turn 1: Llanowar elf
Turn 2 : Pass
-during ennemy turn, after they declared attackers play Growing dread ( Reveals Phyrexian portal + Valgavoth), manifest the Phyrexian portal and put the valgavoth in the graveyard.
-Block with the manifested Portal and play Undying Malice, returning Portal into play, making ennemy sacrifice his creatures
Turn 3 : Start turn with Valgavoth + Phyrexian Portal on board
Ennemy Scoops (Happened to me last game, was fun to pull off)

Need 11 mythic wild cards to craft this deck…. Sheeesh straight fire
Yay dragons!!!!
double twinflame sudden 24 damage is a sight to behold!
jeskai dragons in the year of our lord 2024
bless

efficiency is a bish huh? xD

I love boros but it's been too popular. This deck will be the one! That will maybe get me more into arena

grixis could be fun too with rivaz
hey LegenVD, if you see this, let me know if you think its any good.
there's a deck i've been trying to make work.
its izzet colors and its centered around annoying creatures like:
Razorkin Needlehead
Screaming Nemesis
Scrawling Crawler
Scalding Viper (maybe)
and copying them as much as possible with like:
Season of Weaving
Silent Hallcreeper
Mirror Room
Mockingbird
and so on...
what do you think?
Dragons/10 🐉
azoriuos occulus is so favored on arena.. it allways has parfect draws
White, blue and red? I think you mean 'Murica! *Eagle screams in the background*
I think this deck could use some counter for protecting the dragon
I like the one mana dragon farm if u have six land
Sarkhan deez nuts
Dragonhawk wins are sweet
Awesome

Yeah, accumulate wealth through quests, get into drafting and get good at the format
For the algorithm
volcanic spike is flat better than lightning strike, does every thing the same and adds optional card cycling
It does not go face, which is quite relevant with Twinflame.
does everything the same except go face lol
I only use it as a control slot, I forgot it could not go face
Can anyone help understand this.

@jacenpresley1632 just to be clear they all stack and don't replace each other?
Just curious why no terror of the peaks or nizmit could you see those fitting in here or no
Terror doesn't benefit as much from Sarkhan, the others have attack triggers.

Oof, looks fun but too many wildcards for my wallet cuz I pretty much opened zero Aftermath packs
Yeah aftermath cards are rough for sure
That Black player seems so typical. The misconception of a bunch of removal’s and several BIG creatures means the win. Ty for beating him.
i mean, it's not a misconception, but nothing is written in stone in a game of magic

@ just a tad more than you!
jumpstart cards standard?
Only the ones that are also in Foundations.

Tried this, dragons die in the spot even with haste 😢
hell yeah
Notification squad.
