26:00 if you had fought a colossus with klothys (after pumping it with halana) the colossus would die but they would keep the smith. so the comparison is between a 10/10 and something that would be like a 3/3, which you could actually let through in an all-out attack and survive AND free up another blocker for the leyline axed construct. But even your biggest blocker would only add three toughness to the trampler, which negates the three damage let through via the smith
Also, killing a Colossus would have been a zero sum move in the long run. Due to double synthesizer opponent could sac' two Khanstructs to get it back into hand, cast it for free and get the Kahnstructs back as well. Not the move for the opponent here since they got to a lethal attack state and where in threat from the level 3 class themselves, but with different draws it would have given them an additional blocker.
I love Bard Class. I play it with Kodama of the West Tree and Radha, Heart of Keld to get lands out of the deck so I hit nothing but gas. A singleton Ghalta or Embercleave are usually enough to push for game too.
With a steady stream of consistently good and cheap legends in Gruul, it's only a matter of when WOTC's design team decides to make the card that will break this archetype wide open Lol
It's still a deck that relies on drawing a 4-of enchantment, so that's the real constraint, not so much the Legendary creatures (although Ruby has been great for the archetype).
Bard Class is the best thing ever! I watched ypur first Video on this back in the snow lands time. Since then I have my own Bard Class Deck, but I play a little different. I just love my hasty Ghalta smashing in 😂
26:00 Was it possible to throw a not indestructable card in front of the double striker? The double strike should not happen if the blocker dies after the first strike. So it would be "only" 16 dmg or 13 if double blocked.
Why do you often not play Mox Amber? Is it to avoid potentional artifact removal? I know you can´t use it right away in some cases, but it might be worth it just to avoid Thoughtseize just like in game 2. Or is there some deeper logic I´m too noob to understand? :)
This seemed like an appropriate theme for today! 🎄
Gruul for the holidays.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas @LegenVD! You're the gift that keeps on giving!
Merry Christmas bro! You’re my favorite mtg creator and you bring joy to my life every day with your content.
Merry Christmas! I miss your draft content although I saw before that you said it doesn't perform as well, so no worries
What are we, some kind of Legenvd deck?
Uh, say that again.
That made me laugh way more than it should
VD nation, how we feeling ?
@@evanbleu6362 i hate how close this is to the original 😭
It always amazes me how well LVD knows all the possible decks (and therefore the possible plays the opponent might make) in literally every format
BARD CLASSSSSSS, my fav deck. Im glad you're revisting it again

This is my favorite deck in all of Magic, so I appreciate that you give it the attention it deserves!
The downside of drawing all four Drowners early in a game like that... is that you didn't draw anything else you could actually use.
Wasn't expecting a video today. It's a Christmas miracle!
BARD CLASS!! I love this deck. Thanks for keeping showing its upgraded versions.
Merry Christmas, Mr. Legend!
With Xenagos, now you actually have another way to make Satyrs for Gallia. A tiny interaction, but neat.
Bard class
Merry Ho Ho! What a sweet Christmas gift!

Merry Christmas LVD!
Game 3 halana could’ve given haste to your replacement bodyguard. Giving you two attackers to get damage through. Or am I wrong?
For sure, although still wouldn't have been enough damage.
I love bard class. Happy holidays everybody.
Merry Christmas Legend! ✨🎄🎁🎅✨
You too!
I'm a simple man.
I see Explorer, I press like.
Merry Christmas LVD! Thank you for all the great content this year!
sweet deck

It also tramples.
Happy Holidays Bro!!!!
This deck is absolutely amazing, I played against it and it really hits hard, very hard to deal with those big threats

Triggers level 3 Bard Class. Sometimes also good to hide the info of having an extra mana available.
game 3.... that opponent tried really, really hard to lose... damn.
missed the leyline axe line like 3 turns in a row
Love me some Bard class decks! And yeah those satyrs alreadty have haste, so Gallia doesn't do much? haha
Still gives +1/+1
@@LegenVD true!
Happy Legendsmas to all, and to all a good draw
Hi Luca, do you think this deck would be viable for Bo3?
Reminds me - any chance we'll see a revisit to Xenagos (the enchantment one) in brawl? That was one my favorite videos
I'da been terrified of that dimir player holding an aetherize but it is explorer so probably not too likely.
Merry Yuletide everybody
You need a Legend as pilot if you want the full potential of your Legendary deck. 💥💨💯
If only we had Minsc and Boo in Explorer
This is one of the only decks that I bought in paper it is my favorite deck even if it isnt that strong.
Please add Soul Cauldron. Seems insane with Ruby, Agatha, Bard Class, and the haste creatures.
Esika is probably better for that job if we want our creatures to tap for mana.
Stormlight reference first oppo name
1st viewer heheh watching here in the philippines...
Notification squad Bard class sure provides a lot of Christmas gifts and value. Happy Christmas lvd. Hope you’re having a great day.
Math is for blockers
Deck the hall with tons of creatures. Falafel lala. LA. Happy holidays dude.
