In the 3rd match around 21:00 you get comboed off. You actually did have an out there. I thought you were going to use Liquimetal Coating on the Nightmare in response to its ETB effect to stop it from being activated, but instead you blew up a land on your turn. GGs and thanks for all the great content!
Who knew green could be THIS disgusting!? .....everyone. everyone knew xD Jokes aside, thus deck is very powerful and I'm glad to see you play it! Awesome job as usual Luca!! 🔥🤘
Whaaat, all that crazy stuff with green devotion, Nykthos, Planeswalkers, cards from outside the game, gaining life in a very unconvinient way, to finally mill the opponent out... sounds more of Mono Black shenanigans, but I'm excited for it!
In the Game against Monoblack Energy Combo, I think it could've been a good strategy to keep the Liquimetal Coating available to disrupt their combo. Since the Nightmare is only Sorcery-speed, but has the ETB Trigger to give 3 Energy, it should be possible to turn it into an artifact in response, turning it off with Karn, right?
I normally roll my eyes at these combo decks, but there is something about this green devotion / Nykthos / Karn combo that tickles my fancy. Well done, LVD!
Quick question about game 3. Would liquimetal coating have stopped the cthulian nightmare from working? If so it might've been better to keep it untapped to stop the combo from functioning.
Indeed, could've tried to respond to the energy trigger to shut it down for the turn. If they have a second copy they could still possibly combo from that spot, so not sure what's optimal.
Green devotion is my favorite historic deck. but lately I have felt historic is getting a little too crazy, If you are not playing a deck that can at the very least explode on turn 3 then your deck is not gonna cut it in rank play. I kind of wish they would tone historic down some.
Karn is banned in Pio, but the deck is all the same disgusting there. Going for lethal turn 3 or 4 by filling the board and giving it ramp with several Nykthos and Kiora. Absolutely disgusting. I saw one argue "Well actually, having to run 4 Nykthos is a risk because it can be a dead card"... yeah, but most of the time, it's just a green Dark Ritual on crack. I call it: Nykthos should be banned. 30 years and Wizards has still not learned that mana-cheating is a game-breaking mechanic. Ban that shit.
i really used to enjoy historic, but it's become such a slog of combos the last year or so that I'm seriously considering retiring my favorite decks and making something in pioneer instead
Opponent plays a single card

lol...gg ? you can't be serious, opponent uses some infinite loop deck he net decked
@@bdub884 complaining about netdecking in 2025
@@bdub884 Who cares, 99% of the decks in rank play are net decks. Green devotion is a net deck.
@@jeremiahcep it’s a net deck after LVD plays it and its not a cringe infinite loop deck
A Karn is a Karn but Storm the Festival could be anything. It could even be a Karn!
Me: How much devotion does LVD needs?
LVD: Oh yes!

I am a simple magic player; I see Legend video, I click
Facts
Good boy.
Mindslaver as a Fun Of provides hilarious value
Always loving any LVD video❤️
Historic is such a brutal unforgiving format that even Legend is sometimes outmatched... and that says a lot.
That second game ended so fast lol
MATCH 2 WAS INSANE DUDE. OPPONENT PLAYED A SINGLE LAND AND WAS DONE 💀
I also love using Karn and Liquimetal Coating to blow up lands for free
Hey LegenVD! Are you going to do a Set Review for Aetherdrift ? Love your content

Awesome!❤
You can stop Cthonian Nightmare with Liquimetal Coating by using it while its etb is on the stack
Very cool deck, so many things you can do!
Too bad the opponents don’t stick around until you combo off

I miss a green deck like this kn historic

And Boseiju destroy enchantment too.

i think Zahadom is still crying
No beseiju on ethereal armor seems sus once they declared attacks in m5.
That may be the most creative win condition I've ever seen, did you come up with it yourself?

This reminds me that I do not want to play historic. Combo is fun to visit but I don’t want to live there.

Gross, I love it.
Why not play multiple Tormod's Crypt in your sideboard. You would have been able to stop that combo.
I feel bad for 2nd player
The amount of excited I had when I saw the title and Liliana's Veil, only to realize that its not a Mono-Black deck. 🖤💔
I'm a simple man. I still hope green decks can be good
Play brawl, mono green is busted
