It's good though! LVD makes fun decks to play and play against, he rarely makes "land go" decks that almost everyone hates, nor does he make "turn 3 kill" combo decks you see a lot in the historic formats. I'd rather play against LVD decks than meta decks
Wtf was that Bolas into Blood on the Snow Sequence man? That was indeed legendary. You deserve all the great topdecks in the world for putting up daily content, much appreciated sir.
LVD's content is so top quality that I feel bad for people not subscribed or haven't watched his videos..the decision making and game knowledge is on another level..hats off to you sir you are amazing and deserve more subscribers!
Legend, you’re on fire! Thank you so so much for keeping up the hard work and keeping the videos coming everyday. I know that takes so much time to make these videos. But, I look forward to your videos! Love the list today, I say that because Nicol Bolas is my avatar. Cheers 🍻
We battled yesterday and you uploaded already! I was hoping to see my Lannery Storm on the other side of the field at any time but it doesn't matter. Gotta say you are working really hard. AMAZING content LVD! Keep at it!
Love the intro and really enjoying these historic brawl videos. And I also respect the change with the commander, the matching up in arena is so poor sadly.
OOoooOOOOOH I'm very much looking forward to this! (Would love you long time if you did a Teysa Karlov deck --- though perhaps not so soon after Killian!)
@@eunomiac It do love that Brawl is in the official rules as having 60 cards with cards from standard, but people still have the same scorn for that variant as they do for regular standard :D
Whaaat? A Grixis deck? My second favorite color combo right after Mono Red? What's next a Jeskai deck? You're spoiling me LVD. Here's your deserved daily like
I enjoyed this one. I mean usually I just play some bolas list when I want to do stuff like this. But I also want like this with all the 'play opponent's cards' effects. No steal effects though, that's just wrong. A Rhys deck that somehow also includes Parhelion II?
It was probably a good idea to swap the Dragon God for the God-Pharao at the time for better deck diversity from your opponents, but now that you released this video I have a feeling we'll see a lot of God-Pharao too! lol
I've this love/hate relationship with Nicol. I hate the "guy" but love me a good Grixis. Also, loved to see the minotaurs deck. I don't think it's a good deck for HB but I did played standard with a tribal, and then some "kitchen". Gotta love those synergies ^^
Any particular reason you dont include fires of Invention in this sort of tap out control with a general high curve? Interplanar Beacon seems good too. Other than that, nice decklist
@@LegenVD It says in both deck lists that there is a Demonic Tutor. I do not see Grim Tutor however. Is Demonic Tutor legal now in HB!?!? If so I am adding that in addition to my Grim Tutor lol
@@klaiken989 Nevermind, for some reason thought Demonic Tutor was legal but I was misremembering due to Key to the Archive giving access to it. Not a huge fan of Grim Tutor, as the mana investment and life really adds up. Reverted back to the original lists.
Wow, never noticed who I was playing against. That deck isn't that strong against Planeswalkers, and the turn 4 Bolas... at least I got some good music!
Would be real interesting if Arena added a feature to ask your opponent permission to concede before you just concede a match. It will never happen because reasons, but would still be interesting to see certain games play out.
A better solution is rewarding the losing player for staying. That’s the only way to convince people that it’s worth their time. Would just need to weed out bot accounts from getting anything.
@@LegenVD yes, there are a few things that could be tested and I know why they won't. You yourself have proven countless times (and even made a video about it) not to always give up so early. Just a thing I dislike about digital MTG that may never actually be "fixed".
I don't think that would be possible, because of the commander-tier based matchmaking. You can already cheese the system quite a lot by using off meta commanders. I would like some more love for HB though, imo it's the most fun you can have in this game.
@@LegenVD looking forward to it! You remain one of my favorite content creators no matter what you post but seeing you navigate difficult lines in those formats has really helped my own game play. Thanks for always making my days a little better!
Is there a specific reason why you are playing agonizing remorse over check for traps? Sure you don't have the flexibility of targeting graveyards but you might save yourself some life in the process.
That top deck from opponent's library on the last match was amazing
Who else has been playing a lot of hb lately and going “oh well that’s an LVD deck” 😂 not a bad thing though
I switched exclusively to HB some time ago, and I don't intend to go back. And yeah, tons of LVD decks out there lol
It's good though! LVD makes fun decks to play and play against, he rarely makes "land go" decks that almost everyone hates, nor does he make "turn 3 kill" combo decks you see a lot in the historic formats. I'd rather play against LVD decks than meta decks
@@bye1551 oh absolutely, he’s a gem! Really helping people get into the format and makes the format fun for everyone!
I tried the ol' rat deck out the other day and it worked really well! 😀
@@michaelrichards5253 that one is honestly so so fun and really cheap to make
Love the "Bolas and his superfriends, the Gatewatch!" anti-flavor build haha.
That game 3 Casualties was brutal, whew.
Wtf was that Bolas into Blood on the Snow Sequence man? That was indeed legendary. You deserve all the great topdecks in the world for putting up daily content, much appreciated sir.
Seeing Neheb being played made me so happy. Seeing how painful it was for him reminded me why I stopped playing it but otherwise it made me so happy
He's worthy after all
Yeah that "Minotaurs and discards!" synergy didn't quite add up to a full game plan sadly, I was sad. I hope Angrath was in there somewhere.
tbh he drew like 4 sweepers that game.
That voice of the pharaoh at the beginning....
By the way, absolutely in love with Grixis. Def gonna build this deck! Great content!

This is exactly the video I've been waiting for. Love Bolas, love grixis, love tap-out control!

Had to cut a lot of games that went on for too long sadly.
@5:41 karn advantage nice 👍🏼
That +2 and pulling blood on the snow to wipe his own creatures out was a thing of beauty. I got a good laugh out of that.
15:26 There's something so perfectly Bolas in not just stopping your opponent's combo, but making them give up in the middle of casting it.
The Gyruda player did it too! Trigger on the stack and concede anyway. At least see what it turned up from the depths!
Love the intro and really enjoying these historic brawl videos. And I also respect the change with the commander, the matching up in arena is so poor sadly.
What a sweet intro!
Thank you very much for your time and gameplay, master LegenVD.
Great video! I enjoyed it a lot, glad it was recommended to me.
5:40 Karn can give you nice Karn advantage hehe
Crazy to watch you beat your decks … 😍😳🤯
Holy... love this stream of historic brawl content!
Grixis mean stuff… that’s my jam. Cool deck legend.
OOoooOOOOOH I'm very much looking forward to this! (Would love you long time if you did a Teysa Karlov deck --- though perhaps not so soon after Killian!)
I did Teysa a while back in Standard Brawl!
@@LegenVD _Standard_ Brawl? You mean the one with only 60 cards drawn from _Standard?_ Bah! ;)
@@eunomiac It do love that Brawl is in the official rules as having 60 cards with cards from standard, but people still have the same scorn for that variant as they do for regular standard :D
Great deck and video - thank you!

Finally... been waiting for this!!!
Another great video. Thanks.
Surprised there isnt a Search for Azcanta in there. Good stuff regardless!
This deck is fire. You out-did yourself.
Great intro : D
that blood on the snow you stole was brutal. very fun to watch tho

But I also want like this with all the 'play opponent's cards' effects. No steal effects though, that's just wrong.
A Rhys deck that somehow also includes Parhelion II?
I feel nowadays, if Saruman of many colors were added, this deck would be just as broken.
46:04 Wow, that must've tilted the opponent so much
When going over the decklist and talking about Karn, who else heard "Gives us Karn Advantage"? Lol
That's what he said.
Right on time
that blood on the snow was nasty lol
Ahh the return of the operatic cold open ❤
It was probably a good idea to swap the Dragon God for the God-Pharao at the time for better deck diversity from your opponents, but now that you released this video I have a feeling we'll see a lot of God-Pharao too! lol
All of the Bolas planeswalker cards have indeed very villain-like designs. I felt bad for most of your opponents.
Not really a big Bolas-head but that intro got me hype.
Engaging comment for my favorite UA-cam creator!
Dark Ritual is a beast of a card!
I've this love/hate relationship with Nicol. I hate the "guy" but love me a good Grixis. Also, loved to see the minotaurs deck. I don't think it's a good deck for HB but I did played standard with a tribal, and then some "kitchen". Gotta love those synergies ^^

It’s in the Dragon-God version. Cut it from the God-Pharaoh version because that one has more ramp artifacts which are a nonbo with Fires.
Awesome deck! Also, why no Grim Tutor??
Doesn't it seriously help in reducing variability!?
Demonic Tutor can definitely be added, in fact I changed the decklist that's linked in the description!
@@LegenVD

Gotcha!
46:05
Board wipe?
You have a good luck. 😂
Wow, never noticed who I was playing against. That deck isn't that strong against Planeswalkers, and the turn 4 Bolas... at least I got some good music!
On the plus side you are now LegenMD!
that is strange, no match up against Hero Teferi brawl deck. i always being match against selesnya enchantment, golos, esika, teferis.
You would with Dragon-God
R.I.P. to the Kudro player. That blood on the snow was pretty lucky.
How many videos do you cut where they concede on turn 4 because they are slightly behind?
It's part of the job unfortunately.
LVD is on a roll!!
Lets keep the HB content going!!! :D
hi legend i just wondered d you stream this matches? on your twitch channel?
What hurts the most playing against bolas is that sometimes you lost to your own cards, like the humans deck with blood on the snow
Would be real interesting if Arena added a feature to ask your opponent permission to concede before you just concede a match. It will never happen because reasons, but would still be interesting to see certain games play out.

omg that intro
That first game was brutal. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP HITTING HIM, HE'S ALREADY DEAD!
I really want Historic Brawl ranked to be added to MTGA. It is definitely the best format currently in the game.
I don't think that would be possible, because of the commander-tier based matchmaking. You can already cheese the system quite a lot by using off meta commanders.
I would like some more love for HB though, imo it's the most fun you can have in this game.
Is that a Beethoven piece in the beginning? I can't remember the name of it..
It's mentioned in the video description.
blood on the snow right on time.
Not a true Bolas deck without "Deliver Unto Evil"!
Why are did you put blood on the snow in your deck in your go wide deck?
It can deal with Planeswalkers too, but it was mostly there so I could cast it for free.
It breaks my heart seeing no Deliver unto Evil in a Bolas deck.
It would be better in the Dragon-God version where it’s a little easier to have Bolas in play.
The matchmaker in historic brawl really doesn't offer a to big variety of opponents for each deck I m playing.
Matchmaker in general is busted in Arena.
Last game oppo didnt use priest to make angels...
The priest needs him to be at 32 life to make angels since you start at 25 life.
@@trucutru3 👍
Good one! :-)
BOLAS SPEEDRUNNNN!!!
I'm going to fall a little foulball here by not including eldest reborn :)
0:00 From beginning only a 43 second kill
It is sped up.
It seems like no matter which commander I use, I end up getting matched against the first sliver about 75% of the time :/
My guy has Heart of the Cards, draws 2 cards he asks for in a row
Found this video year later. So that's why dragon god suddenly disappeared despite being stronger commander...
Any standard or historic coming soon?
Definitely with the new expansion!

Good ole LVD understatement
Is there a specific reason why you are playing agonizing remorse over check for traps? Sure you don't have the flexibility of targeting graveyards but you might save yourself some life in the process.
I think they're very close and you can't go wrong with either one, could even make room for both.
I rejoice!
oh no. why?
I love you
Haha lvd shat all over the minotaur dude
Liked and subbed. You desperately need P R O M O S M!
