1:07:35 You didn't need Merchant Scroll to win. You forgot that Mana Vault taps for mana. 1. Time Vault tapping 2 lands (leaving 2 lands and Tolarian) 2. Tap your remaining lands to Snapcaster Repeal Stony Silence 3. Tap Mana Vault to activate Voltaic Key untapping Time Vault
Indeed, though I feel like he made it harder than it needed to be as simply repealing stony gives 3 mana from mana vault to win with vault key (unless there was somethinhg I was completely missing)
In case anyone else had the same thought, Lavinia is no good against Survival + Rootwalla + Vengevine because although the Rootwalla is countered you still *cast* it so it will triger Vengevine.
She's really good against the deck survival. But the fact is that decks that play lavinia are bad against survival, and as there are lots of people giving a try at her in already stablished decks, she's actually a good thing for survival. But make no mistakes, hollow ones and rootwallas are as important as vengevines for survival. That being said, if the lavinia player doesn't have a response to survival and some vengevine hate, it's more than enough.
I get that this deck wins by taking infinite turns, but in some of those games where he sides out Karn, I wonder if he could really get there if his opponents didn't concede. What happens if the one Mentor gets killed or discarded?
I really dislike the existence of Lavinia. She turns off everything that makes vintage *vintage*. Mana rocks? Nah. Force of Will? Nah. Workshop? Nah. Tolarian Academy? Nah. The core of vintage, what makes it different and exciting, is broken mana generation. Lavinia just blanks the entire essence of the format. And the fact that she's one-sided as well so you can just slap her into a PO list (of all things) and hope that you randomly ruin someone's day is exceedingly lame.
"randomly ruin someone's day is exceedingly lame" This is Vintage we are talking about right? Lavinia is fine, it makes the format more diverse especially in the long term. It's opened up more creature based aggro decks into the format making eldrazi and humans much stronger vs PO.
When it comes to Delver in Legacy, you are a savant my man. Before you dive into Vintage, you should watch some LSV videos or something. You are treating this format too much like Legacy and tbh it's hard to watch
That first game is what many people think all of vintage is.
It's either that or Bazaar or Workshop.
And since it happened, many people aren't completely wrong.
The other games are where the opponent had 2 Forces and both players just sit there drawing for a couple turns and they do it again
Vintage: the only format where an Ancestral Recall can even be a bait.
[FORMAT] [VIDEO, PRONOUNCED WITH AN ITALIAN ACCENT]
(Hannibal Buress Voice) You did it! You broke comedy down to its bare essentials!
That first hand has got to be the absolute nuts.
Island -> Force of Will
2nd Mox Opal -> Mental Misstep
I'm a simple man, I see a Paradoxical Outcome veeedio and I smash that like button.
At 14:38 you could have cast sol ring to pump the karnstructs to 6/6 and threaten lethal nonetheless.
I was shouting this at my screen.
Yep, that was just TERRIBLE
That first game was hilarious. Welcome to vintage lmao. Now im ready for mediocre wins with snapcaster mages.
Thank god for someone on CFB that still uses MTGO
believe it or not you can't play vintage on Arena
@@owenkeith1188 I know
@@owenkeith1188 And when they implement Vintage and EDH on arena, then I'll switch.
@@JohnDoe-ki6yd I know right

Mengucci? Playing vintage? AND playing PO??? This is everything I've ever wanted!!!
T1, G1 Opponent: I got bamboozled! You win!

I love how Lavinia doubles as a chalice on 0

Petition for Channelfireball to give Mengucci an intro that says “Veedio” instead of “Video”?

Time Vault seems good

A Veedio with Laveenia
No Disenchants in your 75?
Lavina in every deck?

Do you know that Null Rod exists?
@@Thror251 I must've been using Null Rod wrong because I never realised it blanked lands, delve spells, and counter magic while being one-sided.

You misspelt veedio in the intro. I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
