$50 vs $500 Budget Derevi in Brawl

[@riggs142]

Very nice. Love the double decks. Keep up the good work

[@MTGJosh]

Thank you so much it was a different challenge!

[@riggs142]

@@MTGJosh I think it's a great idea. Budget friendly and non-budget. Let's your deck get used by more people

[@MTGJosh]

@@riggs142 that's a really good point!

[@Roguewarlock6319]

Finally got to watch this video. One guy at my lgs had this deck, and i hated going against it. Love seeing your two versions, should do more decks like this

[@MTGJosh]

I might have to mate!

[@britesjd]

Thanks for a budget option! Loved it

[@MTGJosh]

@@britesjd my pleasure!

[@rafaelvarela1024]

Fully on board with a no rares variant on Arena. Might actually bring me back to playing regularly again. Love the budget deck!

[@MTGJosh]

Thanks dude! One can dream 😉

[@Johnaroth]

I really wish they didn't have that "Pay four and put him back on the battlefield" line. There SHOULD always be a tax on commanders. That said, top notch content :)

[@MTGJosh]

@@Johnaroth yeah he's so busted man. I agree with you tbh

[@joshdao77]

Quite interesting seeing the comparison (or maybe lack of comparison) of opponents with 2 decks :-) what if you kept the deck with rares but changed the commander or an uncommon?

[@MTGJosh]

@@joshdao77 then the algo would change drastically, but again it's very difficult to quantify exactly what changes

[@gyurikovacs4692]

It's interesting to see Derevi without counterspells. Everytime i play againts a Derevi they play tons of counterspells.

[@MTGJosh]

@@gyurikovacs4692 one of the things about my channel is I rarely use them unless I dedicate a deck to it. Im more proactive than reactionary and want to close a game rather than prolong it 😃

[@goldenostrichman]

I honestly do think their algorithm is screwed up because I made a very suboptimal Peregrin Took and still get matchups with unbearable commanders.

[@MTGJosh]

@@goldenostrichman I'm so glad it ain't just me coz I'm going nuts out there 😔

[@TheDevonshireMint]

I've quit cus of the dumb matchmaking. I was playing a harbin deck and kept coming against decks your expect In hellque like bolas

[@MTGJosh]

@@TheDevonshireMint it's pathetic that they still haven't fixed it or made it random enough. All they have to do is nothing or make an actual algorithm

[@TheDevonshireMint]

@@MTGJosh they should at least try to sort it out

[@davidhower7095]

I made a deck with 59 Rat Colony and uncommon WAR Angrath at the helm and I got matched up against Narset and Atraxa

[@AesirOdinn]

One of the reasons i stopped playing standard recently its because it's too expensive and hard to keep up with. I only play to hit platinum and get my free packs. Every time a new set comes out, there are new decks or just the same ideas but build slightly different. Yes, playing historic brawl is kinda expensive too, but i only need one copy of any card and that's it. The most important part its actually getting a good mana base and you are good to go. Even if your deck is three colors and your cards are shit, with a good mana base you can do stuff. That's why i like your channel even more, only brawl for the most part and cool decks with different commanders. #MakeARankedHistoricBrawl

[@MTGJosh]

100% on your side and that's exactly what I did, I moved to singleton

[@AesirOdinn]

@@MTGJosh Wizards can't blame us. If they make a ranked historic brawl, the format would be a blast.

[@lucagiovanninieddu2603]

I would like a deck that costs 1 million dollars next 😂

[@MTGJosh]

Hold my beer

[@Sleep-65]

Please play more uncommon commanders. 😊

[@MTGJosh]

@@Sleep-65 sadly a lot of them are not very good and we will all suffer in the long run because I will lose every game 😄

[@Sleep-65]

@@MTGJosh please try syr elenora and whisper blood liturgist. I'm confident these cards can pull out a decisive win. :)

[@MTGJosh]

I'll have a look 😃

[@TheDevonshireMint]

I wanna build derevi but like alot of really good commanders my playgroup have banned me from it 😂😂😂

[@MTGJosh]

@@TheDevonshireMint he is incredibly potent in the right shell. I think it self regulates though. If 3 other people can't handle it together I'm not sure what to say

[@TheDevonshireMint]

@@MTGJosh TBH I take it as a compliment from them lol.
