5:23 the fact that there's a contingency plan for Capridor beeing stolen by Agent......sweet Jeebus that card is a menace. I miss the days when it was just a janky reanimation target.
When they announced Agent of Treachery, I thought it was a cool card at first! I hated the Mass Manipulation every simic deck ran as their partial wincon, so it costing 7 sounded good and fair. Hard to get to turn 7 and steal something that can make up for possible tempo loss if it's in your opening hand. But then shortly after I saw Blood for Bones and was like, "ok, I can see how this will get messy." Thassa revealed, "Jesus Christ we aren't ready."
No, Agent is a sh1tty card. Stop blaming "the format". People were cheating it out on turn 5 with Nissa months and months ago. Agent of Assery is a terrible card regardless of the format.
I put the Capridor in my Mardu Mutate deck, because I also run Marauding Raptor in it as well. Not only discounts Capridor, but also turns that shock ETB effect into +2/+2. Also all your mutations are discounted. If you have a raptor out late game, you can mutate Snapdax on one and then play a second raptor. Shocks the new raptor buffing snapdax to 5 with double strike for 10 total. Good card with broken interactions.
@@ICameHereToComplain I'm right there with you. I've only got a single Snapdax from draft so far. But I'm always hungry for a list that isn't just some version of Blue/Green ramp
That was a fun watch man. You are definitely my favorite mtg youtuber. Love your decks, and I've always been impressed with your knowledge of the cards in whatever format you're playing. Keep up the good work.
14:20 Thrill discarding Capridor here after your opponent completely whiffing on the wish. The best example of the value of withholding information with an instant-speed spell as long as possible I've seen in a long time.
I'm placing this here because i don't know where to say it.. I would really like a video, although it might be too long, discussing over the sidedeck, which cards are good in certain decks, which cards counter other decks and things like that. It would really help having a structured presentation of sidedeck options, as well as having a little knowledge over what cards might be sidedeck by our opponent, so we can play around that! Keep up the lovely content anyway, even if you never implement this idea!!
I look up the most popular decks in this meta and think - naah, no standard for me. And then, LVD surprised with Offspring combo deck, and now this... gotta love the man
Fun deck. Capridor is one of my favorite cards to build around. I'll need to update my capridor deck after this one. One card i like with capridor in my version is Marauding Raptor because it deals damage to it and makes it cheaper. Once i played T2 Raptor and then T3 Raptor+2x Capridor against mono red,it was really fun. I also play 3 copies of feather and some protection spells too.(Few copies of Fight as one and God's Willing) It doesnt die to clarion,and if you are casting Storms Wrath you can protect it sometimes. But still not sure about that addition. I was also using Justice Strike as removal or doubling the capridor but response seems very good too,might change to that.
Can definitely make a more creature-heavy build with Raptor and Capridor. As it's not great with Haktos and all the sweepers I couldn't make it work in this build.
Agent was designed in the same set as Blood for Bones and other effects to abuse ETB, the Sultai archetype of M20. The problem is the amount of things that cheat it straight from your library without the need of janky reanimation spells and the absurd ramp in standard.
Carpidor is such a funny card. The interaction with wraths, wiping your opponent’s board while making your creatures bigger, while being immune to a huge chunk of removal (excluding Stomp, but including Heartless Act). And then some of the curve-toppers like Chandra having perfect synergy with Capridor. Best deck in the format, in my opinion. Maybe not the strongest, since Agent of Treachery decks take all of those spots, but it’s the coolest one definitely. For every way to cheat Agent into play, Wizards did one good by giving us the nice, refreshing taste of Capri Sun.
Been trying to build around Capridor since launch but standard is just too miserable to slow strats like this. Every top tier deck plays counterspells or at least bounces(Borrower/Teferi/AetherGust) stuff.It's really sad when the best answer in standard is countering and decks being so fast that bouncing ends being the best removal.
Capridor + Reckless Rage from Ixalan = great Combo. I hoped the whole time for a reprint of Reckless Rage in one of the last sets. My Feather deck is missing this card tremendously.
I was played my version of this deck the other day and my opponent played Storm's Wrath on their turn when I had just cast Capridor. They paused and did nothing for like a minute. On my turn I played another Storm's Wrath and swung in for lethal. Clash of Titans is also nice with Capridor.
It is amazing how much a flying goat just stops mono red. Although I have not seen many mono red players anyway. Wonder what happened to them. Boros decks are so much fun right now.
I was really hoping Gideon's Sacrifice would work with Capridor. Unfortunately it still counts as combat damage. Go For Blood, though, can be a strong 2-for-1 in place of some of the draw spells (since it can be cycled to find the combo pieces too).
four days ago I built a similar deck, my version was very binary I like this version but I don't have all the cards yet. I like def clar better than flame sweep as often you need the lifegain/removal to stay viable for that one turn kill. There is also that card chance for glory that if I had access to I would like to play with.
Agent of treachery is crap and I hate it and I'm looking forward to it rotating out in September. But then I remember the infinite turn deck a few metas ago. God I hated that deck even more.
Playing standard during this time was a masochistic venture. Fires, Agent, Winota. Thoughts of these matches still rear their ugly head when I'm trying to sleep.
Hi legen I've been making some "planeswalker proliferate decks before it rotates. I have a bant a golgari and a bluewhite list which is particularly good (teferi yes i know). Do you accept any suggestions?
I started out with Cage in the main and all the looting effects. It's a little awkward when you're not sure if you should cast it. Even if it's only one mana it can still mess up your curve later.
They gotta ban agent eventually right? its too easy to cheat out now with the Ikorea release. Its muddling down deck-building into like 3 possible winning decks. I know a lot of people are against bans, but its just not fun to play or play against. Am I crazy or no?
Are you talking about the Boros soldier with mentor? Wouldn't want to play that and Haktos in this deck probably....too many four drops. Mentor doesn't do much when the Capridor grows quickly without it. And Haktos is probably just better because it's more resilient. Could be a fun one or two of, maybe. But in most cases what happens, you just kill it with a sweeper and deal an extra 4 damage? Best case scenario you use a big Intervention on it to win, but that's what Capridor is there for anyway.
Not really playable in a Teferi and Agent world I'm afraid. It's a fun wincon if you combine it with a 20 damage Star of Extinction in Historic. Turning an Intervention in an actual burn spell isn't quite worth the hassle here.
Don’t you love that Wizards, in their great and powerful wisdom, have kept the almost unanswerable Agent in the meta so long? Totally enjoying every second. Thanks WOTC 🙏
Well it's answerable....Hushbringer is a hard counter. Counterspells generally do the trick. There are of course ways to cheat it into play which are annoying....the Ikoria additions didn't help in that regard. But even failing that, ramp just seems so absurd right now that hard casting Agent by turn 5 isn't all that remarkable. And the Thassa wombo-combo makes it all worse.
@@bonythomist haha....don't get me wrong, I love putting an Agent in play. As I said elsewhere, one of my favorite decks pre-rotation (I think LVD featured it) was a Dimir reanimation deck with Agent as the main payoff. But I've yet to crack or craft a single Lukka card :)
Wizards: boros is back! It's a top tier deck now! Me: sweet! Wizards: it's based on cycling. Me: you mean boros wins by throwing its cards away? Wizards: yep. Me: 🤦♂️
Wow. This is such an interesting deck. The first deck in month I would really like to play and own, I have most of the cards, good I saved up, will definitely play this, great.
I really appreciate how you put the card your talking about on the side.
I always enjoyed that as well

The pause before conceding while the opponents are reading the card makes it even better.

Marauding Raptor has a nice interaction with the Capridor, not only making it cheaper, but larger.
Ive had a lot of fun with this deck and the offspring revenge deck you've displayed. Snagged a quick 5 wins this morning between the two!
Star of extinction could be fun with the capridor 😁
Oh yes, I've definitely played it in Historic.
@@LegenVD Truefire Captain with that as well and dreams of Blasphemous Act plus Boros Reckoner in future Historic Anthologies.
My favorite misplay among the many in this video is the Extinction Event hitting nothing. Simply sublime.

Raptor seems spicy.
you had a similar deck to mine, I like response alot and ended up trimming justice. I was using the mutate to recur my def clarion or response.
Can definitely make a more creature-heavy build with Raptor and Capridor.
As it's not great with Haktos and all the sweepers I couldn't make it work in this build.
11/10 title
At least
Agent of treachery should say “when this card enters the battlefield, if you played it from your hand and paid its mana cost, gain control of...”
And it should end with "... Until agent of treachery leaves the battlefield". Such an obvious target for abuse.
@@nickritchie2154 Agent would be straight unplayable if it had that rider though.
Agent was designed in the same set as Blood for Bones and other effects to abuse ETB, the Sultai archetype of M20. The problem is the amount of things that cheat it straight from your library without the need of janky reanimation spells and the absurd ramp in standard.
It should say, "If you cheat this card into play, you are an @$$."
Or maybe, "gain control until the end of the end step of your next turn."
Carpidor is such a funny card.

Capridor also works with fight effects. Go for blood is good removal that also pumps up the capridor and can by cycled when no longer needed

excellent.
Great video, thanks for the content!
Capridor + Reckless Rage from Ixalan = great Combo. I hoped the whole time for a reprint of Reckless Rage in one of the last sets. My Feather deck is missing this card tremendously.
That happy during the lockdown when Legend upload a new video

It feels good looking at match 4 and thinking, "Yeah, I don't have to worry about agent anymore."
Cool deck. I image justice strike would also be very good in here?
Edit: guess, I just watch first. ^^
Sneaky agent edit was hilarious!
It is amazing how much a flying goat just stops mono red. Although I have not seen many mono red players anyway. Wonder what happened to them.

I feel like Go for Blood would fit nicely. One mana cycling would be nice in a deck like this.
5:14 that agent sneaking in the bottom right lol
Another importat card interaction could be the one between capridor and go for blood since fight damage is not combat damage and it is prevented
When I saw that agent I instinctively moved my hand to the top right corner. How I hate this stupid card.
It wasn’t stupid until they broke standard
Agent of treachery is crap and I hate it and I'm looking forward to it rotating out in September. But then I remember the infinite turn deck a few metas ago. God I hated that deck even more.
@@timpakay the actual problem wasnt nexus of fate the problem was wilderness reclamation which is a horseshit design
@@Snailing_Suika the most common factor is a teferi planeswalker. M21 will be interesting
Would solar blaze or justice strike work in this deck? A nice way to double the capridor's power.
nice games!
I didn't even know Stormwild Capridor existed. Looks fun though
LOL "hi I'm agent of treachery peeky peeky"......
I want this deck!! Jajajaaja is so fun

long live Capri- Sun
Since there’s not really a one slot. Grafdiggers cage would go nicely in here if there’s room
I started out with Cage in the main and all the looting effects.
It's a little awkward when you're not sure if you should cast it.
Even if it's only one mana it can still mess up your curve later.
LegenVD that’s fair. Its only really there for those pesky Lurrus or agent matchups
fun deck :D
Pedantic question re: hakdos...
How does one choose a random number?
You don't. Arena chooses the random number when you play Hakdos
Bird Goat can be milked endlessly for constant supply of Jank.
Might play a single Justice strike to double Capridor damage, good when you need to finish the game quickly.
Yeah could be fine.
26:00 ish you could have cast for the other mode and win i think
It doesn't untap our lands.
