Hamza, Guardian of Arashin - Historic Brawl - MTG Arena

[@scholarofthelosttrove]

LVD is regularly posting historic brawl videos. Guys, we made it to the good timeline.

[@jzoobs]

Daily brawl videos = I'm in KZbin heaven

[@mightyhulk1483]

14 million timelines and we ended up in the 1

[@ERealslimshady]

It’s honestly a dream come true with these daily historic brawl content let me tell you. Appreciate you man, hell of a content creator

[@ZinoDavidoffXIII]

Chuckled at calling out Nylea for being a giant bow-wielding god that doesn't have Reach. Great deck!

[@slavecek]

Interestingly, the same exact thing is also true of Oketra. (Though admittedly, Green is THE colour of Reach, so Nylea still comes out looking worse.)

[@PInkssx07]

I love this content. I see it on spurts here and there when there are events and I’ve waited to see this on a consistent basis. Thank you!

[@LucasCotrim19]

Just wanted to thank you for making historic brawl videos, it's one of my favorite formats on Arena and you''re one of the only content creators out there posting these. Keep up the good work, you deserve a lot more subs!

[@LegenVD]

Glad you like them! I enjoy making them even if their numbers don't do as well as other formats. These positive comments and the support from my Patrons makes it all worth it.

[@cesarpiedra9165]

I love your videos. I really like how you explain your thought process and it just keeps amazing me how often you win games in rough positions where I would have conceded. Keep up the good work!

[@LegenVD]

I appreciate that!

[@FaustoRodrigues]

You know the video is gonna be a banger when you hear classical music on the intro

[@ve_rooo]

You make such amazing decks, thank you for this content!

[@masterkurosaki100]

LVD: "alright just a 25/25, no big deal" Me: 😂 And this is why I enjoy watching LVD so much.

[@nickbalmes6640]

And when he said back in the Killian video: "Just an 80/80 Killian, not bad." 😂

[@dvdbradford]

That match 3 was clutch and funny. "But their deck can't be all lands, can it?" *proceeds to play out 5 more lands* "Well, they're certainly making it look like it." *furious ramp noises continue* "Alright, just a 25/25, no big deal."

[@kbomb2026]

Thanks for all the Brawl videos. I’m happy you are making good quality decks across many themes. I’ve tried several out myself and the are good decks. I hope this leads to more diversity in brawl commanders. Also, I still think Wizards match making sucks.

[@stfletch]

I see your hardline stance on The Ozolith remains in effect 😉

[@jjsaturnob]

why does he disregard it? seems like a slam dunk

[@LegenVD]

@@jjsaturnob I only like it in decks that have both counters and sacrifice synergies so we can enable it ourselves. This deck in particular is about critical mass, we need creatures to enable Hamza and payoffs to play afterwards, so the utility slots are very limited. Ozolith doesn't contribute towards our Hamza plan and can often be played around by the opponent. Not to mention this is Historic Brawl where artifact removal is more common than in other formats. If this were a 200 card format it would probably be in the deck, but there's a long list of cards I would much prefer. That doesn't mean there won't be situations where Ozolith could be useful, like when facing sweeper heavy decks, but those are matchups we are unlikely to win anyway and Ozolith probably won't make that much of a difference even if we draw it. I've had to write more about not including Ozolith in decks over the years than any other card, so it has become a bit of a meme. I also will gladly point out every time my opponent plays Ozolith and it doesn't end up doing anything relevant.

[@jjsaturnob]

@@LegenVD ahahaha makes sense. thank you for replying and I really appreciate your content! keep up the good work, you have the best MTG gameplay in all of the KZbin

[@vumasster]

Evil LVD forces Ozolith in every deck and has a blood feud with Mind Stone

[@bvagany]

What about Ozolith with teleportation ring?

[@Xsasan2001]

Wish I could give two thump ups: one for the lovely intro, one for your deck idea, explanations and gameplay.

[@thcdreams654]

Your Selesnya counters decks are always pretty sweet and this didn't disappoint. Awesome content.

[@LegenVD]

Hey, thanks!

[@Bonzomad]

Really appreciate the super thoughtful explanation of brawl deck building. Singleton randomness demands lots of intricacies here and your attention to detail here is superb. 10/10

[@TheFarthall]

This historic brawl content is the best! This format is amazing and you're killing it! loves these cool decks

[@almostoptimal4598]

With all of these X cost creatures, I would be tempted to include Gemrazer. Extra mutate fun with Ochre Jelly.

[@NisseHult101]

Amazing intro, so much fun to se the "broken" interactions!

[@1stPenokom]

I think this may be my favorite brawl yet. I like seeing multiple cards work together as opposed to relying on one or 2 specific cards

[@hehedgehohog]

I honestly love legenvd's content. I think he's one of the best content creator in MTGA and I definitely like his videos by historic brawl, my favourite (and most other's people favourite) format. But, being all said, I don't think it's his cup of tea. He seems being used to competitive formats, when you optimize your deck for meta, think about matchups, try to predict opponent's next move and doing plays to win, not to just make big beautiful plays. And I miss that content. Maybe it's not that popular, but it's definitely worth making. (Sorry for my English)

[@SacredMagic13679]

Glad to see you sticking with this pivot. Can't wait to see what you do with KND!

[@Erock22]

Reading all that text and saying +1/+1 counter that many times without a misstep is quite the feat. Lol. Great content!

[@LegenVD]

Editing can cover up a lot of mistakes!

[@GeneralMewMew]

Nice! I just got a foil etched version of this card from my Commander Legends box, I can't wait to see what you can do with it!

[@gwlmtg1054]

There is a simpler lethal line without Wishclaw Talisman at 29:38. Play Ajani, activate Nissa and minus Ajani (4+4+4+4+6>=19).

[@HZRT_lgd]

Finally the time for my boi, Hamza, to shine!

[@thrillhouse4151]

The intros are just getting better and better, the song choice, the dramatic timing. I don’t claim to have synesthesia but I can definitely see green and white when I hear that morning song by Grieg.

[@LK90512]

28:05 Yup been there too :D Man that cultivator colossus deck is brutal

[@Bluecho4]

50:40 For a person with Omniscience, they sure didn't see that coming.

[@fuduzlp]

Always had a thing for counter synergies, at least on arena. Pain to keep track of in paper

[@NicerDicerSmart]

If you have enough dice it's extra fun. Spin dice forever

[@nightfallguild]

Really love your historic brawl video, it's probably the most fun format on arena.

[@MoonWatcher.]

Loving the Brawl videos, have a great day LVD

[@ThomasL.116]

Many people love this game of Magic. But only the fewest dive so deep into the atmosphere of the mystery like LVD does. The intro here for example shows that Magic can go beyond just a game, it shows how Magic can effect imagination and creativity in a positive way.

[@pucakuro]

Despite not even going close to HB( scrooging up 100 mythic wildcards and counting) I enjoy the content and play the miniature version with piles partially inspired in your videos. I found the experience of playing with what I open or draft instead of crafting more enjoyable.

[@x_bearforceone_x692]

I really enjoy your historic brawl videos. Thanks for that!

[@jaegershots]

I always watch your videos after work while cooking! Been loving them, ty :)

[@krazi-thug-nutz5837]

Loving historic brawl! Thanks for keeping the brawl videos coming!

[@BoshiYoshi]

Really happy to see you play this one since I also play Hamza. I ignored most of the X cost creatures in favor of more powerful +1/+1 counter cards and more removal/ramp, but your take might be better since I sometimes have trouble with drawing hands that are mana cost heavy.

[@Pedro132333]

I am so curious about the 100.000 special! Cant wait.

[@MartinNoya]

Sweet, onto the next one.

[@datastorm17]

I love Hamza. It's my go to deck right now

[@TheProxy1987]

love ur classical music taste ;)

[@coyoteflavouring]

I'm loving your intros

[@CyberBuster93]

I'M SO EXCITED FOR 10K SUBS WOOOOOO! YOU DESERVE IT LUCA! :D

[@LegenVD]

I think you dropped a number there 😅

[@CyberBuster93]

Omg hahah I did sorry! I'm not good with math xD

[@HLevkov]

I find the brawl content very enjoyable adn would love to see more. Have you thought about trying a grixis pirates tribal deck?

[@DanyF02]

29:35 play land, play ajani, animate land with nissa +1+1 counters everywhere with ajani, attack gg.

[@xzanathar]

almost thought that guy with the cultivator colossus was about to put down 7 more lands lol. crazy game, really good deck across the rest of the matches too

[@dkznikolaj7013]

I love historic brawl... Especially since I dont really play magic anymore, so the entire alchemy thing is just a positive for me since it lets me see cards that would otherwise be banned.

[@DizzyB42]

Holycrap, Match 3 was awesome.

[@DaveMoongazer]

I laughed so hard, just imagining the face on the guy playing the cultivator when you went face xD

[@stefanoriva1738]

Fantastic deck! Cheers

[@Legov7]

Another great deck! Glad it featured some cards that were new to me, even though you made similiar green white counters decks in the past. The format is just great. I love the big beatle! spoiler: Also, the last game was very confusing. The poor opponent must have gotten really unlucky with their draws.

[@jamesklingensmith7529]

Their play lines were confusing as hell. Not fetching a mass bounce spell when you're likely to be facing down a gigantic board on the next turn seems unnecessarily greedy. And then bouncing Falconer instead of Champion and immediately dying from it was just sad, although it could just be a case of not realizing Champion has more text outside of gaining counters.

[@RooZvonBooZ]

Classic music intro, this is gonna be good :D

[@MidgarMerc]

That Stickfingers deck also plays torment of hailfire as a finisher if the colossus dies

[@rodrimaux1128]

That was some nice HB content!

[@LegenVD]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JMFCEee]

Love the historic brawl content, also such a nice way of explaining the deck/synergys. Im just wondering if the dude in CGBs LGS got his signed token yet 😅😄

[@eq2lornick]

I want to see the mono blue deck players hand at the end of that last game. It's very hard to believe that he couldn't pull a win out with that many cards and omniscience.

[@nickhernandez4264]

Lvd is beasting it up in the historic brawl genre

[@thatguydennis2]

Yes! Homie Hamza in the spotlight

[@sundowneyes]

Love the videos!

[@LegenVD]

Glad to hear it!

[@antoniomendes7171]

Your intros should be always like this

[@jeffronas9122]

Almost 100k subscribers! :D

[@LegenVD]

So close!

[@davestier6247]

Too bad Elephant Graveyard isn't in Arena. Great content as always LVD.

[@austind7232]

More historic brawl!? Its like Christmas again!

[@Infinitylurks]

Second! Keep up the great work man! Also enjoy the classical music sometimes😊

[@maciek19882]

I bet there's a Runo deck somewhere in the future.

[@elielruiz5646]

Yes please more brawl content . Thats all i play

[@henricocampos]

Anyone know how do you get those mountain from match 6 that the adversary have? i heard that you can get from jumpstart, but i'm not sure

[@ImNotFine]

I am a big fan of any creature that draws you a card when you play another creature in Hamza!

[@miketripp9375]

around 17:30, you opt to hold 1 open to pay 1 for a servo, but would be better to put 1 more into feral hydra so that the evolve trigger happens, and you get a 1/1 anyways. moot point since you won next turn but thought it was interesting :)

[@LegenVD]

Scurry Oak was transformed, so Evolve wouldn’t trigger.

[@miketripp9375]

@@LegenVD completely missed that! too many things on board haha

[@manimal7883]

Could you try a Mardu deck using Snapdax, Apex of the Hunt? I have one that is vampire tribal and it does ok.

[@PaulRakes]

At 15:27 the goose is a 0 / 0 ... How is it still on the board?

[@GawegDatmeenjeniet]

Its the way MTGA chooses to display the way their commander works, its about combat damage etc being determined by power instead of toughness. Don't know the specifics but long story short: It doesnt REALLY have 0 toughness :)

[@deant01]

nice nice, #keepupthegoodwork

[@TheDmolitionMan]

I'd love to see you do a Slimefoot saproling tribal 🥺

[@Andrmax89]

Personally I'm too lazy to create a deck with 100 singleton cards. Thank you LVD for your content, you make my day every time!

[@lukesdewhurst]

How does Arbor Colossus have reach and Nylea doesn't!!??

[@BigBobsMTG]

Oof...love this deck! super fun!

[@nickmiller3748]

I’m just curious why didn’t you include torens fist of the angels. Seems like an easy fit

[@fishstickmystic]

I felt such pain when last opponent bounced Falconer. 😭😭😭 But hey, gotta get every win you can get.

[@nottsfhj]

I can't believe he didn't draw an answer

[@MrTaubenuss]

Everytime you beat a pesky blue deck you make the world a bit better.

[@gabrielmontes7469]

Must include the Ozolith!!!

[@CarlonchoArt]

LVD can you do some sarulf sometime soon?

[@microagressionist1516]

Why can I only put one copy of a card in my deck other than lands? Great content by the way.

[@Kurismic]

Historic Brawl is a Singleton Format (only one of each card allowed). This is also true for nonbasic lands.

[@kezron88]

Best game mode

[@gamingking1]

Something special planned? Is it time for CRAB TRIBAL!?

[@krumbor]

Aint no way that mans almost insta killed you with that glorious jank 🤣🤣🤣you love to see it

[@LeMuzi]

interesting no OZolith?

[@LegenVD]

I've written extensively about it in another comment.

[@Rafa18mm]

18:12 🤣🤣🤣

[@datastorm17]

I find making the deck with a lot of colorless creatures gets the deck going quick. Hamza let's you play them for free. I can eventually just plop Ulamog down for free

[@LegenVD]

Colorless creatures are great, however I found Ulamog to be a little too inconsistent. After a couple removal spells or let alone a sweeper it quickly becomes uncastable.

[@Venufan]

I think LVD is going to do a stream…..a face stream at 100k and I am…….QUAKING!!!

[@qarian]

Hi there. Can You build Elves deck on Historic Brawl pls.

[@LegenVD]

It was in the Patreon poll recently and didn’t make it.

[@Castative]

no love for the ozolith :(

[@LegenVD]

I wrote a lengthy reply to another comment asking about it.

[@captaindc]

Yo

[@emorsi]

Come on... the last game... that was unrealistic... a blue control player draws over 10 cards and could play them all for free and he still was beaten? That must be very bad luck... no other explanation here. If I am encounter blue players and they draw ten cards like that, it's game over every single time. They take at least four turns in a row or something like that.
