That Jadzi game was priceless, lmao. Opponent going from 1 health back to 22 like "yeah I got this in the bag now" only to get knocked right back down to 2 from an insane Twilight Prophet hit out of nowhere.

Easy come, easy go 😂

Never underestimate the Twilight Prophet.

@may0i Ай бұрын

At 50:31 opponent has no choice since Obeka has both menace and is the ring bearer. Exploring to 4 power might have actually given them the option to chump but was a pretty losing proposition for the opponent either way. Looks like a fun decklist, that top deck against Jadzi was incredible

@emorsi Ай бұрын

At the beginning of my plays in Historic Brawl I was angry about the players who scooped so early when they did not have a good starting hand or were a little behind. Now, after countless games in historic brawl, I am afraid I am becoming one of them. I do not scoop when I have a mediocre starting hand and such but I scoop immediately if I am too much behind or if I am facing a blue control heavy counter deck for instance. Yeah, this format is mostly messed up.

@VOIDWALKER_333 Ай бұрын

Just curious, but is there a reason you didn’t include any spells to make her unblockable?

@LegenVD Ай бұрын

I'm mostly counting on Menace and removal to clear a path. We do have Access Tunnel in the manabase, but adding too many unblockable effects makes it less likely that we actually have the upkeep payoffs or sufficient interaction to get in a good position to begin with.

One interesting upkeep card that I'd like to have seen here is the Alchemy exclusive enchantment Signature Spells. It ETBs seeking 2 instant/sorcery spells with cmc 3 and on each upkeep, you choose one to copy and cast for free. Prismari and Kolaghan's are already great options on their own, but we also have the very evil option of Stone Rain, or Maestros Charm to drain 3 on each upkeep.

@ender4101 Ай бұрын

@@AkodoNoEyes Yeah, I sometimes see people hating on Alchemy content just for being digital and "not real cards." There are some outliers like Poq, but his digital-only nature is not what makes him annoying. Maybe it's because I've mostly played digital-only CCGs, but I do enjoy seeing what the designers come up with in this type of setting. Signature Spells and Oracle of the Alpha are really sweet examples, for me.

@AkodoNoEyes Ай бұрын

@@ender4101 exactly!!!! Arena is a digital game of a physical game and it makes sense to let the designers cook. The Rakdos wheel of fortune released recently, oracle of the alpha, key to the archive, signature spells, the various lands that let you pick a color, the legnedaries (thst Boros legendary thst spawns Boros creatures is an insanely fun commander), are all amazing cards in their own right. Alchemy is good and a fun format but the cards for Brawl and Historic is where it’s at for me. It’s an unique design space. It’s an exciting opportunity to make stuff thst wouldn’t otherwise exist. People are allowed to play what they want, but to not play cards and hinder the experience and deck for principal is just banal.

Hi LVD. Personally I have zero interest in Brawl (or anything else with alchemy), but I cannot always tell if this is a brawl video beforehand. So when I start it, and see it is Brawl I close the vid immediatly. I heard that this is bad for the algorithm (short viewer retention) so i don't know what is better for you. People not clicking onto the video at all, or people closing it after 2 seconds? Maybe you can better mark the format your videos are in. You often do this, but not always.
