Nadu is His Own Worst Enemy - Historic Brawl Highlight

Maybe Nadu is a little TOO good at drawing cards. Luckily, we can take advantage of that. I'm also pretty sure the opponent didn't figure out what we were doing until halfway through the turn.
This video features Big The Cat, Emrakul, and extremely long turns. Shout out to twitch chat for keeping me sane against all these birds.

Anyone playing a Nadu Brawl deck needs to be forced to play only against other Nadu Brawl decks, or possibly against Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student

[@Amazonian]

Sounds miserable.

I can’t play my Nadu deck anymore. Everybody just concedes

I should try to do them more often. I just have to remember to make them

@@Amazonian you are your own editor?

Yep - but I'm not recording 100% of the time, so I have to scrape footage like this if I want to use it

I like how Amy had a \*leans forward* gamer moment when she started that turn.

[@Amazonian]

I had to FOCUS. It's so weird playing the cards from the other side of the board like this

Yeah, the Hell Queue!

You have so much patience. I don't know if i could sit through this much durdling.

So funny ❤😂

[@Redonx]

i so desperately wish I could see the other players reaction to all of this happening

[@Amazonian]

I want to know why they used that fight spell early on. Maybe they thought it was the one that gives +2/+2 then fights from the set?

[@Redonx]

@@Amazonian Yeah that was so strange! Maybe they're so deep in the nadu sauce that they just had to take EVERY game action they possibly could at every opportunity.

BAN 👏 THE 👏 BIRD 👏

[@yotuel9064]

"Slow clap" This is how you outplay a Nadu.

[@user-xk7bw9ii8i]

have him misplay? he didn't tidebind emrakul afterall

[@VolvoxSocks]

Shame they weren't running Sylvan Safekeeper. Pact of Negation-ing one of their own spells then sacing all their lands and mana sources would have been hilarious.

[@TheFrigidMidget]

Oh my god, so much catharsis! THE CATHARSIS! I've never seen such appropriate and immediate karmic retribution. Good job, Amy!

[@ColeCBNorton]

These room-temperature IQ Nadu players constantly holding priority… taking forever to decide to move their equipment around… you have the patience of a saint! Loving the brawl content Amy, you always have such a positive attitude 😊 Love seeing them get a taste of their own medicine, GG!

Omg, you won just like Yami Yugi against the flying dragon egyptian god

Amy, I would love to see your take on Teysa, Opulent Oligarch. I know she isnt as powerful in the brawl format but shes the only Teysa you havent covered yet so I need it in my life. Great video as always!

[@jackiespaceman]

Just print a card called Bolt the Bird that costs one mana and deals 2 to any target, 4 if target is bird

[@Zorae42]

Honestly, they don't even need to change his text to nerf him appropriately imo. It says "twice each turn" and it should mean that. Just twice.

[@enmanuelrondon9700]

The text would still need to change since that 'only twice each turn' is in the section that gets propagated to the other minions.

[@dimoskifos8433]

Proposal : Immediately concede the moment you see Nadu in loading screen regardless of your deck and how well you planned to deal with this shit bird. Outcome : You save yourself time, the lowlife playing Nadu finishes his daily wins faster so they feel better about their unmatched intellect and skill and continue to spam this. Numbers of Nadu pick rate keep getting inflated, winrate also. Result : Wotc will almost surely do something to salvage the situation. Having something with insanely high winrate regardless of "card weight" and vast majority wins turn 1 is oppressive and outright toxic. I think they will most likely straight out ban the card for brawl or give it some absurd card weight in command zone that will result in Nadu only matching against other Nadu(lmao). Just reminding everyone that your actions DO matter as long as they are done in unison. If people just say "Nah I am not playing against this" it hurts their engagement statistics. They will be forced to ban it.

[@lelandwhitehead56]

You can enchant your own Forest with Utopia Sprawl. It doesn’t have a self target clause

[@magnuslayton8827]

I"d have picked "Gremlin" because they're a damn dirty gremlin for choosing Nadu

I would love to see an Ivy game, with Nadu in the 99. :) Or maybe Alela? Faerie power let's go!

[@highnoon7570]

This video was so much more natural and fun than Brawl Stars which often feels almost rehearsed. Loved it!

[@Amazonian]

This is just footage from the stream. If you ever want to hang for the more conversational, chill stuff, I'm on every day! The Brawl Stars is supposed to be a bit more of a deck tech and showcase, so I try to describe everything happening

she's always LYING

[@Sturmcrow]

I dont understand how shortsighted R&D has to be to let something like Nadu go to print as it is

[@pneuma08]

Honestly, I think they're making too many cards too quickly.

The Sonic Prime Amys/Amies were fantastic. Easily the best parts of the show.

[@Amazonian]

YES. I loved them

2:48, hahahaha what’s that roleplaying in Arena? It’s summertime and the bug bit the analyst as they were analyzing some aftermath.

Seems fair and balanced deff a healthy addition to the game. Good job WotC

[@matawashobatsu]

strong social criticism, nadu loses much more to himself.

[@DonovanPresents]

15:57, maybe they just don't know that tidebender works that way, or they just didn't care enough to read emerakul IDK

I think they didn't think I could do anything too harmful on the extra turn. Or it was a whoopsie

[@macksmith2893]

Nadu Is worst to play vs than Oako. nadu can win out of nowhere on turn 4, 5 even 3 with the right set up. I play in a competitive brawl league and When I play ragavan vs Nadu I feel like it is an uphill battle when I go first with the monkey. This thing is probably going to get banned in modern because it was too pushed and It REALLY needs to be banned in brawl like oako was. or nerf it to 4 mana and only have the trigger go once

[@TomHickey]

Got 'em!

[@bkyang624]

It would've been funny if they conceded while you were playing their turn. Haha! They would've beat themselves! But I guess they did technically. Hahaha!

Can’t wait to play against this in paper in a derevi deck. Ban the bird

[@Mealayn]

Nadu? Nah, don't.

[@calebgrant2652]

SMH. They just need to ban this stupid bird in every format, no exclusions. Non deterministic lines are boring for everyone involved.

[@user-yc9ye3gn7y]

Tbh it's insane how such a card was actually released. Like is there even a "balance" check up policy/team before wizard actually releases cards ? Or do they just go with the flow after 2 or 3 hits 🚬 😅 ... Of all the most broken cards they've releases this one is just dumb it's almost an infinite loop on its own.

Ban Nadu? Nah, we need to sell those juice, juice MH3 packs. Wizards being wizards, they will ban shuko and give some more time and, once we have a new set (which nowadays takes just a few days geez), then they will ban this damn bird...

[@KlossBernardo]

Amy, could you please update balmor? 😊😊

[@Amazonian]

chicken nuggetttt

[@Sleeqb7]

I mean this is a funny way to kill them. However, the moment pact of negation was drawn, could you just; Cyclonic Emmy back to your own hand, cast a cheap spell and pact it, then tap all Nadu's lands, sac all treasures, and pass turn. Your turn, recast emmy, pass turn, take their turn again. Pass the turn to yourself, refuse to pay for pact.

[@adedamolayusuff5995]

That sequencing wouldn't work. After taking control of their turn with Emrakul, they get an extra turn during which they will be able to pay for the pact of negation that they cast under your control. If you're still confused just carefully read what Emrakul does. You might find that it doesn't work quite as you thought it does.

[@Sleeqb7]

@@adedamolayusuff5995 You're absolutely correct, I forgot about the extra turn they get after Emmy turn.
