You don't bitch about cards, decks, draw or anything. You explain every single move and thought process behind a play and it's value. You sound like a tennis match commentator, with a slow and steady voice. That's some professional youtubing. Great job!
man please do not stop what youre doing. mtga is a rising star and you are the #1 content creator in the community. better content, better format, and not to mention your game knowledge is godstatus. please show us more amazing decks to build
I love those videos, espceially the fact that you actually show the cards you mention, perfect for me as a beginner! Looking forward to the Izzet deck!
Katalyhsathor I’m new also and just got my second quest deck and that game really has taken off from there for me I’ve been having a blast. Maybe I’ll see u on. Beezle is my name on there I think
Just wanted to echo the other comments that this series is so well-done. The explanations, the step-by-step upgrading, the demos, with pop-outs of the cards you're talking about. All fantastic. It's also crazy to see you play like you have mind-reading powers because you know all the cards that are likely to be played in the other person's deck. I'm not really interested in any of the starter deck themes, but I feel like the explanations you're giving will help me build up the sloppy decks I've built from scratch so far. Looking forward to more.
Haha changing the lands even. Iove those small touches that help new players out. Not to mention showing the card on screen when you mention it. I always recommend new mtga players straight to you.
Thank you for this vid, Primal Fury was my 1st dual-colour unlock and it served me very well troughout the NPE! Looking forward to upgrading it legenvd-style :)
Eyyy, thank you for covering Primal Fury :D! Very much appreciated, thank you! Think you could do Wrath of Mages (or more specifically, a wizard tribal) next? That archetype may not change too much in the next set(s), just like Dinosaurs, so it may fine to invest in it!
I love how he always says something like ´´we will change it a little bit´´ and then more than half of the original deck is gone :D Love the videos though, great help for improving decks since Im not so skilled yet.
In all honesty though... that's how M:tG always has been with Precons. The good thing here is that as a free player or someone new that may not have spare cards you can build up in the order he did and replace as he did as he did it in a way that explains and shows why to remove specific things. So yes you remove 90% but you can do it over time.
@@iPostiPodiEatiYuri All the minotaur, besides Firesong and Sunspeaker are in Amonkhet. And Amonkhet has rotated out of standard, which currently is the only format that Arena supports.

@@LegenVD Thank you! I found it. I don't like the extra stuff it puts below the video where the description is when it's gaming related. I always miss the "see more" button.
5:07 No joke- right there I was thinking, yeah, playing two things was right because you can play a 5 cost or less dinosaur _like Charging Monstrosaur_ if you draw it and a Knight of the Stampede.
which starter deck would you recommend to upgrade (if any) the most? thanks also for showing the critical step of deck building in changing the standart land arts :)
I have since built my own version of a Dino Deck and made it to mythic rank. I saw very few Dino decks through the ranks, but i think they are a blast to play.
I recommend dropping the drovers because they are too vulnerable, instead use thunderherd migration which is a dinosaur rampant growth spell, also drop the llanowar elves too vulnerable, use the 2g land fetch spell with kicker. Use Sarkhans unsealing and savage stomp for all removal, sideboard all lava coil and fight with fire Use more copies of 4+ power dinosaurs especially carnage tyrants as they work beautifully with sarkhans unsealing, even if the dinosaur is countered you will still get 4 dmg to any target, and for carnage tyrants and ghalta you will get 4 dmg to all enemy targets. this is a real advantage against a control deck, they will counter/kill the creatures but they will take 4 dmg each time and lose, if you get 2 in play its even better consider using the 1r human that makes all dinosaurs 1 cheaper and can give them haste, if you must use a vulnerable ramper he is the best also consider using wayward swordtooth dino the 2g 5/5 that cant attack and block unless u have the blessing and lets you drop an extra land. not only is it a dino, it also can ramp a land heavy hand and is REALLY good with savage stomp and works with sarkhans too. turn 1 commune with dinosaurs fix mana or grab dino to reveal for ramp spell turn 2 thunderherd migration or red human turn 3 wayward swordtooth (can be +stomp for 6 dmg removal), extra land or ramp spell turn 4 regisaur or ripjaw + savage stomp or sarkhans unsealing turn 5 possible: lethal dmg with hasted ghalta, carnage tyrant doing 4 dmg to everything via sarkhan, hasted etali all good things
@@Slicc7 No but I can type the deck out for you: 2x Commune with dinosaurs, 4x Thunderherd Migration, 4x Savage Stomp, 2x Wayward Swordtooth, 2x Opetec 1x From the Ashes , 4x Sarkhan Unsealing , 2x Ripjaw Raptor, 2x Territorial Allosaurus, 4x Carnage Tyrant, 4x Regisaur Alpha, 1x Rampaging Brontodon 1x Verdant Suns avatar 1x Etali Primal Storm, 1x Helm of the Host, 2x Ghalta 23 land, dont use any come into play tapped lands, just basic and rare r/g plenty of sideboard options but you must include 4xDeathgorge Scavenger and 4xThrashing Brontodon, Consider Charging Monstrosaur for the sideboard too its a strong card even though its one dimensional and its useful against control. This deck uses no planeswalkers and does ramp mana so also consider The Immortal Sun and Damping Sphere too. gl
IMO you should main deck the Ranging Raptors. They are annoying and cant help absorb those removal spells. Charging Monstrosaur is a good keep, especially when you have ramp in the deck. All in all, it's the best the deck can get.
What do y’all think of adding 3 Thrashing Brontodon instead of 4, and having either 3 Ghalta or Ripjaw Raptor instead of 4, and adding 2x Vivien Reid to this deck in their place? She can destroy artifacts and enchantments, like the Brontodon, and is overall a great Planeswalker. Opinions?
Forerunner can be good, but I prefer it in a more enrage heavy build with Ranging Raptors as ramp, Swordtooth as another enabler and Polyraptor as wincon. Wouldn't be able to play Llanowar elves alongside it.
Damn this deck looks so cool snd is right up my alley as far as colors. Unfortunately ixalan is about to rotate and i don’t have a good chunk of the cards so I’m not gonna bother with it.
Sebastian Mondragon oh i mean I’m new to mtg arena so I actually don’t know what I am talking about. but i assumed that standard would just be the 5 most recent sets.
It might be a bit of a challenge, but I wanna see what you can do with Chaos and Mayhem, the Red/Black starter, as it has a quite interesting concept behind it in my opinion
How does commune with dinos help to find red land? You put the cards on the BOTTOM of the library.. that means you wont be able to draw them anytime soon. And You only draw a dino from it. Regisaur is OP. 5 mana 7/7 in sum stats with partial charge? Plus a haste to other dinos on top of that? Absurd.
Ohh man. I love your vids but I have to say this this deck is doomed in current meta (sadly). I played this deck when Ixalan block been completed and failed aganist hyper aggro decks but now this can lose nearly any control without tyrants. Azorius and jeskai control deck got so many good option to handle dinos too. Atm I would mix this deck with the core set even if i have to sacrifice some threat. Runic amasaur is insane if a control deck plays with azcanta then eventually you will draw too and beast whisperer is awesome too. As i felt on arena trample and draw are best option to handle control so andventures impulse come in instead commune. Territorial allosaur, charging monstrosaur, goreclaw are needed. Sorry for the long comment and i love this deck but sad to see when it fails and it will in long run.
Roland Bráj do you realize that's a deck made for bronzes? It's a budget version, How do you write such a long text and don't even noticed this?? Geeez
@@fausto7394 ohh if we didnt count the giveaway rares this deck cost 13 rare wildcard and meanwhile there are much more usefull rare cards for dinos as i mentioned before (ie: territorial and runic amasaur and nobody needs runicamasaur playset) so basicly there are much more optimal build and thats my point with my comment and sadly u cant see it. I had no offense feeling aganist the vid but this deck needs some polish even if it should be a beginner friendly deck.
@wolfVFV your comment doesnt make any sense, because not only you start with one mythic wildcard at the start of your account but getting the second one with packs isnt hard at all
@@ssspikesss he even mentions it in the video that you could add tyrants/etali if you have the wild cards. But pretty sure he does not in the video because it's a budget deck and he wants it cheap

How to make the Gruul dinosaur deck better: Replace 90% of the deck.
Not disagreeing. I just find it amusing.
In all honesty though... that's how M:tG always has been with Precons.

Been lookin for upgrade videos for some time! Well done! Subscribed
Enjoy your stay!
Another very well done upgrade. A added in a few Vanquisher's Banners for the +1s and card draw but otherwise working well. Merry Christmas Luca.
Thanks a lot for doing these, they are very intereseting, keep them up !
Would love to see an upgrade on this deck, especially a green/red/white dino deck
Great build skill helped me slot it that curves.

Oh right. Thanks
Ever take these builds to competitive constructed to see how well they do? That would be a cool video series.
Could be an idea for the future.
How about upgrading the Wrath of Mages Blue and Red deck next? I'm having fun with it but don't know in what direction to push it
probably something like izzet drakes, im also curious to see legends take on it tho

Great Video. @LegenVD you got your a new sup. From a Yugioh Player that tries online Magic.

Very useful series
Fantastic video as usual
I only wish I could get the creature cards (e.g. Ripjaw Raptor) to upgrade the deck with. :'(
which starter deck would you recommend to upgrade (if any) the most? thanks also for showing the critical step of deck building in changing the standart land arts :)
Merfolk probably has the best performance to wildcard ratio.
I think I played you before ... now that I see your name is Legend
I built this deck, and have not had any success with it. I had majority wins with the base primal fury. Not sure what's up
Same experience with upgrading the pirate deck. We have to remember we're watching a real pro player here, not just a deck upgrade.
Maybe bad luck? I have been using this deck and I win with it about 70% of the time.
I have since built my own version of a Dino Deck and made it to mythic rank. I saw very few Dino decks through the ranks, but i think they are a blast to play.
@@jack71854 cool, what is your decklist? I love Dino Gruul decks
top secret
How come you can't get ripjaw with tokens?
I recommend dropping the drovers because they are too vulnerable, instead use thunderherd migration which is a dinosaur rampant growth spell, also drop the llanowar elves too vulnerable, use the 2g land fetch spell with kicker.
Use Sarkhans unsealing and savage stomp for all removal, sideboard all lava coil and fight with fire
Use more copies of 4+ power dinosaurs especially carnage tyrants as they work beautifully with sarkhans unsealing, even if the dinosaur is countered you will still get 4 dmg to any target, and for carnage tyrants and ghalta you will get 4 dmg to all enemy targets.
this is a real advantage against a control deck, they will counter/kill the creatures but they will take 4 dmg each time and lose, if you get 2 in play its even better
consider using the 1r human that makes all dinosaurs 1 cheaper and can give them haste, if you must use a vulnerable ramper he is the best
also consider using wayward swordtooth dino the 2g 5/5 that cant attack and block unless u have the blessing and lets you drop an extra land.
not only is it a dino, it also can ramp a land heavy hand and is REALLY good with savage stomp and works with sarkhans too.
turn 1 commune with dinosaurs fix mana or grab dino to reveal for ramp spell
turn 2 thunderherd migration or red human
turn 3 wayward swordtooth (can be +stomp for 6 dmg removal), extra land or ramp spell
turn 4 regisaur or ripjaw + savage stomp or sarkhans unsealing
turn 5 possible: lethal dmg with hasted ghalta, carnage tyrant doing 4 dmg to everything via sarkhan, hasted etali all good things
This sounds great! Could you give an aetherhub link to your version of this deck?
@@Slicc7 No but I can type the deck out for you: 2x Commune with dinosaurs, 4x Thunderherd Migration, 4x Savage Stomp, 2x Wayward Swordtooth, 2x Opetec 1x From the Ashes , 4x Sarkhan Unsealing , 2x Ripjaw Raptor, 2x Territorial Allosaurus, 4x Carnage Tyrant, 4x Regisaur Alpha, 1x Rampaging Brontodon 1x Verdant Suns avatar 1x Etali Primal Storm, 1x Helm of the Host, 2x Ghalta 23 land, dont use any come into play tapped lands, just basic and rare r/g plenty of sideboard options but you must include 4xDeathgorge Scavenger and 4xThrashing Brontodon, Consider Charging Monstrosaur for the sideboard too its a strong card even though its one dimensional and its useful against control.

Great video!
please do a upgrade strength in numbers. great vids!
IMO you should main deck the Ranging Raptors. They are annoying and cant help absorb those removal spells. Charging Monstrosaur is a good keep, especially when you have ramp in the deck.
All in all, it's the best the deck can get.
Which one of the starter decks would you say is the most powerful after being upgraded?
It's close between Merfolk, Vampires and Boros.

Vivien is a good addition for sure.
LegenVD wow thanks for replying! Really good to know you think so, and thanks for the great videos!
newb question what does he mean by curve of the deck? explain pls?
It's the distribution of converted mana costs in the deck, you usually want it to look like a curve.
Can you make a red white knights video? It will very cool.
Any consideration for Unclaimed Territory, or are there too many non-Dinosaur cards?
Might be good, but if you open it as your only land and you start with llanowar elves, you lose the game. And it happens way too often lmao
Doesn't help cast the burn spells, so can't replace any mountains, so at that point it's not too helpful.
Did he do a broros one yet ?
nice ! rakados next :) ?
Mono white or white/green next pls
Where is the recipie?
Why i cant find some cards like Drover of the Mighty? Can someone help plz?
Make sure to enable the 'not owned' filter.
Thank you very much. @@LegenVD
No Forerunner of the Empire? Not that the ripjaws are bad, but tne Forerunner is a consistent way to trigger them and ramp faster.
Forerunner can be good, but I prefer it in a more enrage heavy build with Ranging Raptors as ramp, Swordtooth as another enabler and Polyraptor as wincon. Wouldn't be able to play Llanowar elves alongside it.
No love for territorial allosaurus?
It's ok, but you don't get to 7 mana very often, so Ripjaw Raptor is usually better.
Damn this deck looks so cool snd is right up my alley as far as colors. Unfortunately ixalan is about to rotate and i don’t have a good chunk of the cards so I’m not gonna bother with it.
