Olivia, Crimson Bride - Historic Brawl - MTG Arena

[@spencerbell8386]

I like the Deck Tech segment going through categories / ideas, rather than just Creatures + Noncreatures. Thanks LVD!

[@LegenVD]

Not every deck can be broken down into categories as easily, but I'll try to do it when appropriate.

[@perfectman3077]

I usually skip to the first match

Demonic Tutor into Fabled Passage was so clever.

[@D.Mom0]

For some reason I enjoyed the 3rd match the elevator music was relaxing and the top deck card to make the opponent sacrifice his colossus was amazing.

[@bye1551]

I feel so bad for the opponent though, like that's just painful going through all that just for a 2 mana removal spell to destroy it...

[@nightfallguild]

@@bye1551 That's the way of the jank, you play a combo that works maybe once every 10 games but when it works it's spectacular.

[@jzoobs]

@@bye1551 I don't feel bad for them at all, they chose to play that ridiculous deck 😂

[@justincarroll1836]

@@eierjucken exactly. It's most often a long auto-lose for the person that plays it since you just need 1 hard removal or a 5 to 6 turn counter-lethal

[@lawrenceredmacher4382]

@@bye1551 the opponent is the one that should feel bad. not only playing a one-trick deck but one that takes a huge amount of time...

[@scholarofthelosttrove]

LVD is defining the historic brawl meta more and more with each video. Thank you, sir! These are a masterclass in deckbuilding.

[@1337-Nathaniel]

Just like when he's doing standard. LvD decks everywhere lol.

[@FanOfMostEverything]

In Match 6, the hilarious thing is that even if they revived something with frog-Olivia, it would get exiled immediately. Counterpart overwrites creature types, so they didn't control a legendary Vampire.

[@LegenVD]

That's a great point!

[@jerodast]

Oh man, I totally missed that. Here I was getting all amused at the fact Kazarov has the removal clause despite himself being a Legendary Vampire [49:36] and pondering how someone could remove him by turning him into a Coward or something, without realizing that a similar interaction had already been played :D

[@Venufan]

We need a LVD merch line for 100k. Picture it. Shirts. On the front is a hand cradling a deck with: “Let’s see how the deck does” around it. On the back we have a giant crab with an LVD avatar on it pointing forward with: “On to the next one.” over them. I NEED this, Mr. LVD.

[@AlexisRoucourt]

I’ll buy it!

[@terraqueo89]

"Interesting spot."

[@ishimarumakot0]

I BUY THAT FOR AN EURO!!!!

[@pranakhan]

A tie-dye MagiCarp t shirt would probably go over well too

[@auditoremtggames]

Boy, the Tutor into Fabled Passage was a genius move!

[@RBarchy7]

21:35 Behold the best damn ETB animation in the entire game

[@Nooxeer]

moooo

[@jerodast]

I know this one's for the memes.... but seriously I appreciated him giving props to Seraph of the Scales for having an unnecessarily elaborate animation the other day :D random cow head is good too tho!

[@arthaerus7320]

That Demonic Tutor tutoring Fabled Passage haha

[@ziziorens348]

That was super tight.

[@alexleblanc6364]

Tibalt's Sliver Colossus just scoops to any exile, fog, or repeatable tap down effect. Love that jank

[@jerodast]

To be fair you might need multiple fogs if you weren't already set up like LVD. That said yeah was really wishing for a Fog For The Win haha.

[@AtrociousNightmare]

The way you played match #2 is just masterful. Every little consideration you made brought you that final satisfying win with such a creative play.

[@lowskinator]

absolutely love the brawl content Legend, keep it up! best format in Arena and with standard being as stale as it is, these brawl vids have been an absolute breath of fresh air

[@FinetalPies]

I really like how your organized the decklist for the beginning of the video

[@Joshua-th5hq]

Love the brawl format. Thank you for your uploads!

[@LegenVD]

Glad you like them!

[@silviobaiguini69420]

I'm an average LegenVD fan: I liked the video before even watching it. It contains "brawl" in the title and rakdos in the content.

[@gabrielegelosignorino797]

36:27 You can get rid of the card, but you can't get rid of family.

[@LegenVD]

This gave me a good chuckle.

[@masterkurosaki100]

Sooooooo much fun watching all these different historic brawl decks. EDH rocks!

[@juliantennyson6518]

It's always awkward being early to a wedding

[@MetalHev]

The funny thing is, the way the guy in match 5 hovered over olivia after lvd returned her from the graveyard, it's pretty likely he actually was trying to heartless act her and failed, proving again LVD's uncanny foretelling prowess.

[@rdgcury]

You right on track with that one, it's hit or miss with her, drawing too many reanimation with no creatures has got to be one of my worst nightmares with her.

[@ve_rooo]

Ughhh I love how you play! The way you make a decision on what to play versus my decision.. which is why I end up losing sometimes, it’s incredible! Keep it up!

[@skybolt4668]

What you do is amazing! How can you imagine so many cool ideas? 😊

[@vumasster]

Honestly the ideas are the easy part. The hard part is cutting down from like 160 cards

[@jzoobs]

D Tutor for Fabled Passage is big brain

[@MWBowen403]

LVD out here killing it with the brawl videos. Guess you can say he is a legend? haha

[@thcdreams654]

Any reanimation deck you make is always a fun one to watch. Thanks for the consistent quality uploads.

[@vinhly9067]

The sliver opponent played his deck wrong. I actually made that deck a little over a week ago. Always make sure to have an untap land on turn 5 to get combo off early. The colossus is just a distraction. The real kill is to get 10 gates into play and kill with maze.

[@LegenVD]

That makes a lot more sense!

[@tonyrobinson1502]

i think field of the dead was another possibility

[@LegenVD]

@@tonyrobinson1502 That's been banned.

[@CopieRightGaming]

I love your brawl brews Luca! I never played Brawl but love to watch your amazing brews come to life! Can't wait to see what you will do with Kamigawa!

[@wimfranken826]

In the sliver/colossus match moraug was lethal, don't attack with it just use landfall:xtra combat. Attack with fliers. :) I first had to look up if it has "attacks each turn if able" 😉

[@LegenVD]

That's a good point! Might've come to that realization if we didn't find anything else.

[@mr.Anderson8]

Loving Brawl. Keep up the good work!

[@Chinchillaman5]

Awww it's a missed opportunity for a "Killer Queen" reference. Still cool though. Thanks LVD.

[@Dreadnote-pf7of]

Talking about Killer Queen... Its just me, or Doom Whisperer is kinda look like one famous iteration of Killer Queen from one bizzare manga-anime? (especially its face... And there is also so many hands...)

[@nicx7785]

I loved the tutor for fabled passage xD

[@doopersooper]

I've been wanting to build that Trickery Colossus combo brawl deck for a while, but haven't been able to draft Colossus yet. So happy to see it here for the first time. The wait must be annoying, but the Timmy in me sings with joy to see it.

[@Asian_Caleb]

Lol the elevator music in match three really got me

[@Beepintheblip]

Match 3 dude was also hoping to bore his opponent to death as an alternate win con

[@Asian_Caleb]

I built a more budget version of this for a buddy of mine who was new to magic, it’s his favorite now lol

[@ericgee6114]

Gotta love the big bad red black discard reanimator deck. It's just got all the fun synergies. Probably my favorite way to reanimate besides mixing in grixis for some of that fun. Been stuck on tryna build a self mill styled reanimator deck for a while. Think the synergies aren't there in golgari/abzan yet

[@puppiesgoesrawr]

That sliver land deck is so jacky i might make one just for fun

[@benzbubblecat]

that first sliver deck is hilarious but soooo fragile. You basically have to hope that your opponent does nothing for 5 turns and has no interaction.

[@tonyrobinson1502]

i think thats because he was supposed to have a bunch of zombie tokens, he just didnt play field of the dead because he saw the massacre wurm in the yard.

[@jzoobs]

@@tonyrobinson1502 I think FotD is banned in historic brawl now

[@mattyD92992]

I’m loving these brawl decks LVD. Have you made one with Tovolar yet? Gruul wolves is my favorite deck the last few months, but it’s trash in standard right now. Hopefully it can do better here.

[@jordansparks140]

Match 2 "Moraug could get some work done" Pulls out the win

[@someguy4331]

lmao that angrath's rampage on the colossus in match 3... xD

[@sethagnes8102]

Great video! I hope you’ll build a goblin tribal deck soon.

[@ProfessorGray]

There are plenty of other content creators that are maybe as good as LVD. I assure you there is none better👍🏼

[@SM-hr3zo]

Discard-draw is actually called 'rummaging', after Rummaging Goblin; looting draws first. But whatever!

[@LegenVD]

Indeed, I just don't want to overwhelm people with terminology when looting is very similar and more widespread.

[@SM-hr3zo]

@@LegenVD good point indeed! It's easy to lose sight of the game's actual complexity at times...

[@_claymore]

tutoring for a Fabled Passage is a true power move

[@roblake666]

The elevator music reminding me of the movie Mean Guns for some reason.

[@DanyF02]

That first sliver opponent had such a weird deck. It's basically a 3 cards deck that requires an opponent who didn't win before he plays his turn 5 and who didn't draw any form of counterspell or removal by then, all while doing absolutely nothing, and they still might've won against your super well thought-out deck on a decent draw if it wasn't for the incredible value you got from Doom Whisperer.

[@Gnilson5]

The real friends are the lands Cultivator Colossal found along the way

[@plain6677]

That first opponent had a great deck, if they didn’t missplay on the kill spell they could probably have won

[@theMolecularMan]

These were good games

[@emersoncollazo1875]

[@lukicop]

That elevatormusic was hilarious :D will you do a 100k special video of some sort?

[@12bravo68]

What type of elevators do you ride in?!

[@justincarroll1836]

Tibalt's trickery was a mistake and I honestly don't know what the team was smoking when they made it.

[@mageninja3261]

At 14:13 your opponent missed lethal! By pumping the sure shot and swinging all out! With the afflict 3 from the eternal, it would have finally given the keyword some use!

[@LegenVD]

Can just take the attack from Neheb so Afflict doesn't trigger and block the other creatures. Seems like they couldn't empty their hand to enable their commander.

[@mageninja3261]

@@LegenVD And this is why your mythic and im bronze!

[@jerodast]

@@LegenVD I was actually wondering about not blocking Neheb anyway, double blocking the Sureshot, and block the trampler with your big guy. Would've only dropped to 6 and not 2. I guess this way you get the unblockable damage off the board...and more importantly have a clear win anyway so whatever :)

[@jerodast]

(Oops, was thinking of 15:50, not the turn MageNinja said)

[@franbh94]

Question: In Match 3, although Maraug doesn't guarantee the win, doesn't it present a "choose your own poison" scenario? With Zagras on the battlefield, Maraug has Deathtouch. So, if they havent any more wincons, they would have to chump to avoid losing to it. In the end, Doom Whisperer carried hard, but that was something bugging my mind for the time.

[@LegenVD]

Someone else mentioned being able to attack with our team without sending Moraug, which also could've worked. The opponent likely had Maze's End as another win condition besides colossus.

[@TheDambia]

I'm quite confused here at 15:14. Why not killing Naheb instead? you gain the same amount of life and Naheb seems like a more threatening creature. What am I missing?

[@LegenVD]

That would've been fine too.

[@TheDambia]

@@LegenVD oh I thought there was a better reason I was missing lol. Thanks for the reply. I love your content ❤️❤️

[@joallenescartin9620]

[@santiproductions9318]

one of my favorite cards is missing from this deck and it’s making me solemn :(

[@tonyrobinson1502]

I think that First Sliver deck was a field of the dead deck, i just think he didnt make any tokens because he saw massacre wurm in your yard.

[@jzoobs]

Isn't that card banned in Brawl?

[@MidgarMerc]

The first sliver version of the colossus deck doesn't seem as good to me as the old stickfingers version. The stickfingers version pops off on turn 4 or 5 without worrying about 5 color mana and not having the cascade restriction let's you play back up win conditions like banefire and torment of hailfire

[@klaiken989]

I know this choice is probably reserved for patreons. Regardless, please make a historic Tiamat Brawl deck. I think only you can make one that is good. I've tried many times and failed..

[@shepherdsgamingrun]

While 'Bride' is appropriate for the card, I feel like you missed an opportunity to do 'Killer Queen.'

[@HugoRenanCosta]

Do you think the 4 mana (1+3) black reanimation spell from alchemy is too hard on colors?

[@LegenVD]

Besides the color requirement the main problem is the creature being removed from the graveyard, making you unable to bring it back with a different reanimation effect.

[@strahlungsopfer]

Afflict doesn't deal the damage unless it's blocked if that's what you were thinking.
