That first opponent had the patience of a saint. God bless them and the smoldering crater that is their corpse.

That harrow copy into opponent scoop was hilarious.

"Melek is only a 12/12" vs Mono Green is a mood.

Izzet always has the craziest combos

As an Izzet player it's all about chasing the moon the wonder of the biggest explosion possible by creating most bonkers synergy combo deck. The more insane theoretically impossible scenario the better. And all complex and absurd interactions of the stack.

you slept on rielle, powers the discard theme and adds power for only 3 mana

Like for shame scoop after "destroying" indestructible land 🤣🤣🤣

Seth's unbridled joy is a thing of beauty.

Of note, Seth, due to the way that the mechanics were changed in Lord of the Rings, the amass mechanic was changed, so anytime you amass, all of the counters go on the same token, and Dreadhorde Invasion specifically turns it into a zombie, meaning you can easily get a giant army token that is a zombie, which will also trigger the second side of Dreadhorde Invasion to make the 6+ power token lifelinking. Between the equipment that equips cheaper to a token and the additional amass card, I think the opponent was building into an army theme for their particular Sauron deck.

Kinda wanted that last opponent to respond to everything with a Weather the Storm.

I'm enjoying the fact that as WotC keeps printing duals with land types the snarls get easier to play untapped.

Always love the bugling for the rats!

I always love watching Seth because he's just having a good time. It makes it so fun to see what craziness he's up to

Yaaay, the monthly-ish Brawl stream is here. Glad that format keeps finding a home for fun deck ideas.

Budget for historic brawl I think is 10 rares/mythics max. That being said, I’d enjoy seeing full power decks with budget versions in the accompanying articles.

I think Ovika was criminally under rated as an overcost izzet legend. It came out in the same set as Graaz, and you can just fill your deck with ramp, card draw, and polymorphs to murder people with 20 5/3's on turn 5-7. Even if Graaz gets removed, there's some sick backup wincons like stryxhaven stadium that make the deck go brrrrrrr into a nice short game.

Seth I love how you keep calling it Bugler Rat when it's Burger Rat.

Also, I would suggest running Wash Away in Blue Historic Brawl decks, it has never disappointed me.

In terms of budget, being singleton means you’ll passively collect or craft a lot of these staple cards anyways playing arena and you have access to every mana base you’ve ever used. It does require some grinding, (and sometimes some rare drafting) but it’s not like you’re burning playsets of niche wildcards. If you need to substitute a card you don’t want to craft, you’ll draw it less often also. Good to have one-of playables for midrange piles, midweek magic singleton, and gladiator too.

This brawl deck was so entertaining to watch! Good job Seth

I think it counts as budget, but Historic brawl is also my favorite format on Arena. also, thanks for reminding me of slang ill

I love love love Storm! I would be thrilled to see more :D

All those bugling burglars

Love your Brawl videos

Guess I should look forward to seeing this on Arena, lol. *Thanks for the Content!*

I consider it budget. As a newer-ish player who is EXTREMELY collection locked when it comes to making decks, pretty much all brawl decks feel budget due to only needing 1 of each card. Yes, I "should" be spending these rare wildcards on building up a standard friendly manabase first, but getting up single copies of important cards still feels very nice. You feel like you are accomplishing something by getting that first copy compared to crafting a 3rd and 4th copy for a 60-card format deck.

I have the same deck in commander and it's absolutely fun! I slotted some creatures with myriad to abuse Kylox's ability, along with extra turns, burn and Worldfire.

I am so excited! I wanna see!

I feel like I manifested this video. I was hoping you'd do an AtO with Kylox lol. Thanks for reading my mind Seth! Sorry about the myriad atrocities you no doubt also saw.

The best part about Izzet Combo decks is that you literally cannot play optimally. You must do the weirdest things with the vague promise of a win and wait for it all to resolve.

So basically Kylox is an expensive fling.

"I swear this opponent typed discard into card search and added all the results" I did this when brainstorming for a Tinybones, The Pickpocket deck.

been playing urabrask in brawl, and i think he's a great budget commander. all you need is basic mountains and red cantrips/burn spells. i spent 1 mythic on blood moon, which wins games on its own--the rest is pretty much random commons and uncommons that cantrip, scry, deal damage, or buff creatures for sneaky early combat wins. i usually win turn 5.

Thought you might appreciate knowing that I ran into your Tiamat Giants deck in Historic Brawl queue yesterday. : )

That was beautiful.

Niv-Mizzet would be so proud of him

This deck is very budget and love it

At 9:28 a fun trick would be casting the Pact of Negation targeting Mizzix's Mastery. This would up the storm count by one, but Mizzix's Mastery would resolve and go to the graveyard, leaving Pact with no target and consequently no 3UU tax for you next turn

Well as somebody who owns two Klyox (one in both art styles) from random pulls I have to say I'm delighted to see you make it work in Brawl! Gives me some hope of trying to find a recipe that works in actual Commander. So a rule of thumb I use for determining if a deck qualifies as budget is: does the land base consist of mostly tap lands or does the rare ratio out number the mythic ratio. The other thing that can work instantly is "what rarity is my commander". For example most people think all Urza Decks are anti budget but there's always Powerstone Prodigy who is uncommon and probably THE HARDEST ONE to make work XD Like you can toss in a bunch of broken stuff and even then somehow he'll still find a way to be the worst Urza most of the time. At least in Brawl you can kind of redeem him with Alchemy Prototypes.

I love making my opponents scoop, that's the most amount of fun in MTG Arena.

d00t d00t d00t dooooo - love the dispirited bugling :)

I think I have played against one Grand Master of Flowers deck before, as my Grand Master of Flowers. Bahamut is absolutely amazing for super stupid slow mono white control prison stax.

Staples work a little different for the purposes of budget on Arena, since you don't want extra copies of stuff like pricey lands like with a paper EDH deck, so if you're getting into the format, it's almost always correct to craft part of a fetch/shock manabase whenever you get the chance. Maybe only pay too much mind to non-lands and give a little flexibility where stuff like Bolt that goes in every deck that can play it is concerned?

Honestly I don't care if it's a "budget" deck, if I have the good lands in my collection I'm putting them in the deck

Hey Seth, love your content ! Against the Muldrotha deck you could have played Melek, then played seize the storm from hand thanks to the reduction from Melek and then played Kylox, it would have been even more explosive :)

I built a deck like this a week ago but I thought kylex exiled equal to the number of creatures so I focused on putting a bunch of tokens on the field. I've had it for a week and I just realized it's based on power. The card has so much text I built a deck and played it a ton without reading all of it. Anyways, I'll leave it as is, it's pretty strong.

I think its budget because its easy to get one offs of alot of rares from the packs you get, while you almost always need to craft to get 4 of a card, so i think almost every brawl deck is pretty cheap.

20:00 i think the mana base doesn’t really effect the long term budget of eternal format deck especially brawl because after building a few decks you should have solid mana base options already

Standard Kylox might be a bit more doable with plot cards in Thunder Junction since you can plot a creature to cast same turn as Kylox.

Seth playing Historic Brawl? YES PLEASE!

Got to feel bad for christopher, who tried to blow up an indestructible land.

Honestly, I love the Snarl lands. Also, don't be dissing my boi Homelands. Homelands, Fallen Empires, and The Dark are my legit all time favourite sets. Next to the Lorwyn-Shadowmoor Block.

9:40 you could have pacted mastery. mastery would have left the stack, so you would have gotten one additional storm count without the need to pay for the upkeep trigger or missing out on any of the other spells

you should build an arjun mill deck, its kinda budget friendly and has some fun jank

Could you do an Astarion Historic Brawl deck next? I think it would be so fun to watch.

"Pew, pew" - Seth, probably better known as SaffronOlive, 2024

I play Ragavan because I'm free to play. But the flavor works because I've just cobbled together a bunch of junk i've managed to get my hands on and it's got like a 75% win rate. Just like the tricky munke. To be fair at least 20% of that win rate is salty scoops who see Ragavan or get their first two creatures burned and peace out.

Considering the size of a brawl vs other constructed formats (100 vs 60 or 75), and the budget limit (15) as a percentage in those formats (25 or 20 percent), I wouldn't consider 29 rare budget. That's not even factoring the less competitive nature of brawl, which would lead me to consider 20 rares/mythics the limit on a historic brawl deck.

Supreme Will over Confounding Riddle?

Personal opinion: I prefer Snarls over Pathways, by many many times. Also I would consider a copy of Introduction to Annihilation in this deck. You rightfully pointed out that Izzet has a lot of trouble dealing with Enchantments, and the Lesson gives you an out to that. Since Budget Magic is 20% of the list (if you count sideboards - 15/75) or 25% (if you don't count them - 15/60), I would assume a Budget Brawl deck still falls in that same range, so in the 20-25 Rares+Mythics range.

Twinferno is a strictly-better* Doublecast. * Unless you really want a sorcery-speed version of the same effect that is harder to cast because of double red pips and doesn't have a mode that can give a creature Double Strike.

I actually think Brawl is pretty budget-friendly just because it's a singleton deck. You don't need to spend four wildcards for a playset of a card you'll only play in one deck, but you find a collection of cards you can use in multiple decks instead. So I think year, 30 rares for this deck is pretty budget-okay.

Do you think you’ll try a nonbudget(ish) version of this deck on Commander Clash?

Seth, are you wearing an Amigo the Devil shirt? Super cool if so

Grade A shame scope on that indestructible land.

The lack of thousand year storm in this makes me sad.

5:50 points to Explosive Welcome, calls it Mizzix's Mastery. Mistake or troll to get comments. Well played, sir. Well played.

Any room for experimental overload in here?

I think in 2nd game concede was a correct play, seeing a copy spell used this way suggests there are a lot of copy spells and having the copy deck be ahead in mana the odds of winning plummet. You have to respect your time and since the game didn't even begin why not reset and go for more even playing field.

"Is xxx number of mythic/rares budget?" - I mean, that kinda depends: are those mythic rares called Sheoldred, the Apocalypse or Admiral Brass, Unsinkable? Because in Arena, the Sheoldred would be more budget as you probably already wildcarded her.

Definitely a card that most embraces the Izzet ethos: Okay, _if_ this works its going to be _spectacular_!

Hello Seth

Are you dissing on my land that grants "Bands with Other Legends"? 42:35

damn i’ve been reading kylox wrong this entire time xd thought it was based off the number of creatures not power

Personally I would call 20 rares and mythics, outside of the mana base a budget deck

I think 20-25 rares is the top end of Budget Brawl decks.

why not copy minds desire?

not casting grapeshot at a stormcount of 29 should be illegal

I'm forever calling shame scooping, shooping

20 R/M is probably the line for budget Brawl

Wtf is Bugler Rat?

Insane how quick arena zoomers scoop lol. Arifact destruction fizzled after ramping 4 more mana out than your opponent? Gotta scoop

I’d say budget for 100 would be 20-25, personally, but you’re probably gonna get 50 different answers.

9:20 Noooooo! Copy the Mizzix's Mastery again!

bugler does not equal burglar

honestly the purposefully bad mana-base kind of makes it a little less entertaining I think people know if they want to make a more budget version they should look at the manabase first but I guess maybe to not misrepresent what your showcasing it's a necessary evil regardless good video I just get disappointed when easily castable cards are uncastable and the manabase being so tapped for little reason

at 9:18 why not Mind's Desire and then Expansion it?

That player probably runs The End specifically as rats hate.

Anyone else sick of playing against Mythweaver Poq and Verdant Rejuvenation?

"You can get away with playing cheaper cards" nah, you cant. People are more sweaty and tryhard on Arena than even in Vintage.

Not playing 1000 year storm...

Lol game 2

Omg first how

I would never play this in paper

I find the idea of doing budget Historic Brawl to be an absolute nerf for you. You go in there with all the cards you've collected and try to have either a degen combo deck, something insane, or whatever. So hearing you do budget for this format makes no sense, just like an old school player limiting themselves with EDH.

In my opinion budget for historical brawl should be : At most 6 mythic At most 12 rare Around 24 uncommon Around 48 common At least 10 basic lands

DAY ONE OF ASKING TO DO THE CALEBDAR PLUS AL WILL BE ONE

I don’t give a shit about budget personally. I want to see good cards and stupid hard to pull off nonsense.

Was playing some historic brawl this morning and opponent rush Planeswalker Ral ultimate with the deal 4 damage to target emblem whenever you cast a spell. Unfortunately they didn’t respect my leyline of sanctity and I chose not to play anything targetable so they ended up killing themselves
