It was really good and now totally necessary with all the power and text creep we see in Magic… I miss Vampire Nighthawk: Flying, Deathtouch, Lifelink and all the remaining text was flavour text to develop the lore…

Dynavolt tower, my beloved. The memories of Magic Duels are flooding back. Attune into harnessed lightning into tower into glimmer of genius

You expertly piloted your deck in Match 3 against U/W control. Control is my worst match ups as a player, but I've learned so much over the years of watching you calmly play through and assess situations like this. You really are the best out there, Luca! Appreciate you tons, man 🤘

Came here to say this. LVD is just a masterclass. I've said this before, if making youtube vids wasn't more lucrative, he could be at the top levels of the ProTour

Often I found control deck boring but this is particular amusing to watch. ^^ Great video.

Nice editing in the deck tech, with the faded text - really helps to highlight the different synergies!

Energyaaahhhhhhh!!!!!

Another card that I've found works extremely well in blue energy decks is Roil Cartographer. It's a 1/3 so it blocks some aggro pretty well, and +1 energy per land adds up with all of the fetches and other energy cards so hitting that 6 energy to draw 3 happens way more easily than you think.

Man, this is really cool for a super budget option on arena.

They brought energy back.

Back in the day I went pretty deep into day 2 of a GP and I was one of the only dynavolt tower decks in a field of vehicles and constrictor decks. Still one of my favourite cards of all time

If I had a nickel for every time this energy deck won at 1 life, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that happened twice. xD

Turning energy into actual lightning bolts is surely a flavor win

Eureka indeed Legenvd!

I’m ambivalent they brought energy back

Wow, I'm impressed that this deck is rocking Dynavolt Tower! Seems like a lot of fun, love the Historic coverage!

Indeed

Recently i play Izzet variant. Vs aggro meta I must add wraths (brotherhood ends), because 1for1 changes are slow. Other good card here is "Fable of the mirror breaker", helps with revolt (but this card is good everywhere).

Hey legend, want to again get your input on pure izzet version of this deck. I've been playing a version running 4 revolt and 4 Whirler Virtuoso with some copies of Cyclops Superconductor. Do you feel like Attune with Aether alone is the worth the splash to Temur? What is the reasoning to run Dynavolt Tower instead of just trying to find your revolts since you are almost guaranteed to win the turn after it resolves. Thanks again for video, love the content

Legend! Just the man who can help me solve my problems! I normally don’t put up request videos, but I think a cool theme with Ral, Monsoon Mage would be to incorporate the energy mechanic with him in a spellslinger brawl deck. Can this be done!?!?!?

@LegenVD

15 күн бұрын

Ral was one of the options in the last Patreon poll but didn't quite make it. Might be up for another vote later.

End of Game 2 was insane. Aether Hub: 3 damage Unstable Amulet: 4 damage Harnessed Lightning: 5 damage (+4 from Dynavolt) Dynavolt activation: 5 damage That's 21 available face damage just from cards you already had in hand or in play beginning the turn. Amped Raptor: 4 damage (+3 +3 from Unstable Amulets) 31 damage plus whatever Amped Raptor hit. (EDIT: It doesn't hit anything oops) Ludicrous. You wiped their entire board and had damage to spare.

Wow, splashing into green just for Attune with Aether. Adding a 3rd color just for that card seems like a stretch. Is there no better option? They arent' good cards, but could you use Inventor's Axe or Thriving Turtle? Or in the 2 drop slot there's a bunch of resonable options; maybe Aether Theorist or Roil Cartographer? Or is the land draw from Attune just that valuable?

@LegenVD

10 күн бұрын

It's a cheap sorcery that triggers Tower and also generates additional energy. The extra color is a relatively low cost, since we want to be playing Aether Hub and Prismatic Vista regardless.

@@LegenVD Huh, yeah. I gues I wasn't thinking that you already have 8 potential green sources in the mana base even if you cut green entirely, so it makes sense to leverage Attune for the partital land advantage and to have a sorcery as opposed to a creature. and thank you so much for the reply! I was a bit puzzled at the trade off, but as you point out, the cost is already relatively low given the mana base. thank you! Love your content! Best MTG creator on youtube. I really really REALLY miss the draft videos though, but I still love the constructed content!

like how few rares and mythics are needed

Can someone explain to me why Harnessed Lightning costs two mana and can only target creatures, while Galvanic Discharge can target creatures or planeswalkers for only one mana, and they both have the same effect? This just power creep?

I know I'm very tempted to spend a few rare wild cards to try this out even though I never really play historic either. I opened one Aether Revolt in my free mh3 packs so it would only cost 4 rare wildcards. I'll swap the 4 Prismatic Vista for 4 Fabled Passage to save the mythic wildcards.

@@darron614 Dynavolt Tower is also rare, and depending on your collection, it might cost a few rare wildcards for lands. Everything considered, is still not bad.

​@@DiogoVKersting yeah I mostly play standard and occasionally historic brawl. I should have been more clear though. I already have the 4 fast dual lands in the deck, so I just need to craft 1 Aether and 3 Dynavolt. I had 3 Fabled Passage and added one Bountiful Landscape to replace the 4 Prismatic Vista.

it's not meta by any means, but I'd love to see a green/black landfall deck!

Virtuoso is certainly an option, Hydra seems too clunky for the format (although could be a neat sideboard plan).

The absolute greed in the first game of not killing symmetry sage while the wizard opponent is tapped out in the hope they literally just pass the turn so you can draw.

It was first introduced in Kaladesh and broke Standard at the time. They made new energy cards in one of the Fallout precons and a few more in MH3. It's not as broken in today's Modern format as it was at the time of Kaladesh Standard.

Oof, Ninjas player missed lethal there by mismanaging their blue sources. Could have got you! Still, nice showing.

after building a pure izzet version i don't think green brings that much to the table. and the tower is just to slow,
