Everyone's least favorite deck to play against in legacy back in the day is now coming to Arena haha. Sweet gameplay as always, LVD making our days better ❤
34:02 Near the end of Match 4 where you were wondering if you had lethal on the last attack, I think it was possible. First, you can activate your Deathrite's lose 2 life ability anytime before they declare blockers. You can force the 7/7 past with Giver as you mentioned. Then there will be 3 more damage coming across from Bowmasters x2 and the Bat for 10 damage so far. Shoeldred can block a 2/2. Depending on how your opponent reacted to your earlier Deathrite activation, they either lost 2 life already, or their Deathrite is now tapped and they can't block your other 2/2. Either way, that puts the opponent down to 1, then to -1 from their One Ring on their upkeep for lethal.
Sorry to be that guy, but couldn't you have won game 2 by giving Thalia pro-black with Giver of Runes, and then attacked with her and the bat, and then cast Bowmasters to finish off the opponent?
No need to be sorry, analyzing games and catching misplays is a big part of this game. That said, nobody is safe from making mistakes from time to time, even our favourite Legend!
13:55 Giver of Runes gives Pro-B to Thalia, Bat and Thalia attacks. Opponent either throws Lurrus under the bus or is toast. Worst case scenario would be Unearth on Lurrus, Searing Blood isn't lethal thanks to lifelink on bat. Isnt this better?
Great content as always though your presumptive play at 14:50 was incorrect. The opponent left themselves dead on board by playing the land out which is presumably the scoop as your just pre-combat give either Thalia or Voice Pro-Black and swing for lethal with bat - no reason to wait for blockers.
I was lying down in bed after watching a scary video about Wendigos, then I saw the thumbnail and dropped my phone on my face because of the jumpscare 😂
Still forces them to get it back as opposed to getting Eidolon back or having more mana for other things. The Amass token also wasn’t very threatening. But under different circumstances it could be better to just take it.
In the last match, you could have activated Deathrite twice and just swung with Bat to deal 5 to the opponent, exiling Bowmasters and another creature from a graveyard to deal the final points of damage. Your way worked too, but the Deathrite line was the first thing I saw.
Your content is always timeless, no matter what format you play 😉
Your demeanour sets a fine example, Mr Legend. Cool deck, taxes are indeed timeless.
@13:45 You could have give thalia Pro Black and swung in and had bowmaster lethal
Checks out!

Appreciate it!

Thanks for the write-up!

Yup, he missed it.
Even a Legend misses lethal sometimes.

@@ziziorens348well said. It’s what makes the game go ‘round.
Checks out!
just want to say that thumbnail art was so good
Abzan will always hold a special place in my heart! Love this deck and awesome job Luca!!! 😊
Been behind on the videos. Trying to catch up. Appreciate the great content. Thanks.

Lurrus IS black, so they could not block Thalia. LVD had lethal there with attack+bowmaster iic
Giver of runes is such a superstar in this deck.
Wow, that game 3 rip off the top was truly bonkers! LVD's reaction to it was amazing😂
Awesome deck!

You want to have elvish reclaimer, knight of the reliquary and some utility lands in a deck like this.
Hate bears? But who would do that?
Always number one on the Threatdown
It is that season.
I need to speak with the opponent in Match 3, just to see what his daily routine is for luck considering all those top decks.
DRS is bonkers, also against The One Ring just cast
*Laughs in Sliver*
Is there an explorer build with seigh rino?
Afraid Siege Rhino doesn't cut it anymore these days.
How many cards (aside from OG duals) are we away from ANT being a thing, or maybe even Maverick?
For ant we're missing petal, led, and cabal ritual. Oh, and ad nauseum too.
in game 2 why let the orc amass every turn? you are taking 1 either way, shouldnt you just do no blocks?
Still forces them to get it back as opposed to getting Eidolon back or having more mana for other things. The Amass token also wasn’t very threatening. But under different circumstances it could be better to just take it.
Talk about timing, get to eat dinner, and watch a great LVD vid.
Playing a primeval titan player who flawlessly topdecks is insult to injury.
What an awful card field of the dead is.
Hi, cool deck! (think your tags are a little outdated)
I thought an anthem would have really helped the deck, especially the game against the Prime Time. Cool deck choice L.
Wish we had more humans for Lieutenant, the added pressure would certainly help!
In the last match, you could have activated Deathrite twice and just swung with Bat to deal 5 to the opponent, exiling Bowmasters and another creature from a graveyard to deal the final points of damage. Your way worked too, but the Deathrite line was the first thing I saw.
DRS only deals damage with instants/sorceries exiled.
Play timeless, you have access to all the cards! *everyone plays the same 20 cards* (what it feels like to me)
This format is pure BS!
This deck is HATEFUL!
