I've built this guy so many times, he is just to unreliable to ever be played, if he pops off he wins really easily, but if he doesn't it's weaker than precons
the key is to have token generators and other win cons such as Mechanized Production to end the game faster, artifacts and artificers from Brother's War (forgot the names but one deals 1 damage to all opponents every time an artifact ETB and there's a Dragon artifact creature that for one R gives all your artifact creatures +1/+0 until end of turn), and other artifacts that can create token clones of your stuff and permanents. since blue is in the equation, you can protect your stuff with either a wall of hexproof or have counterspells ready for any boardwipes or removal.
I have 5 color deck with Brudiclad as my secret commander, I use him as a wincon most of the time. It's focus is to make a ton of treasures then turn those treasures into something nasty and smack. I love that deck but it can struggle at times.
nah, it's a *really* safe bet that even if there's aren't "hot ones", eventually fans will become horny enough to pick a few to pretend that they're the hot ones.
If I'm playing against a Brudiclad player and I even catch a _whiff_ of Marit Lage's Slumber it is shoot on sight, screw the cardboard you're taking a tranq round to center mass.
That is such a dull play to make. I would just run Brass‘ bounty into a thopter spy network. Or something equally less obtuse than hoping and praying that I both run into Mirror hall and marit lage AND A WAY TO CHEAT HER OUT.
as a Brudiclad Enjoyer, it's either: 1. we rush you with a swarm of thopters 2. we turn our tokens into nice porridges and regain 30 life in one turn (thank you Academy Manufactor) 3. you get your ass beat by an army of 10/10 Eldrazi tokens (thank you Forbidden Monument) 4. the entire table let us cook as we somehow cloned Brudiclad into a non-legendary and now every token we own is just the Brudilads in their Brudiclads, or 5. the game ended because we have 8 or more artifacts with the same name and same game. in the end, we own the means of production and are mass producing it.
A favorite of mine is the constructs that come off Karn, Scion of Urza. Their power scales with any other artifacts you control, and if Karn survives he can give you additional card draw. You could also use Phyrexian Processor to make a large token multiple times. You need to pay life when you first cast it, but as long as you are above 11 life you have a repeatable Idol of Oblivion.
Don't forget the army of clones of the opponent's own best creatures, or my personal favorite: An army of sharding sphinxes, one letter away from an awful name, and each time they hit they EXPONENTIALLY create more and more thopters that will stay behind to block on the crackback.
The people questioning whether or not there were hot Bionicles clearly did not watch the third movie. Also, for a deeper bit of lore, the soundtrack of said movie contains a track titled “Roodaka Seduces Vakama”, so do with that what you will.
"Anytime a card says a different thing get haste means the gameplan is for a noneuclidian volume of those things to slide tackle you" Ironically, Alibou, Ancient Witness is an exception to this. Given their plan is to send a tiny 0/2 drone at someone's window only to drop an orbital lazer directly across the street.
Wait, no mention of what happens if the Brudiclad player resolves an Irenicus's Vile Duplication targeting Brudiclad?!?!? It's a NON-LEGENDARY FLYING TOKEN version of Brudiclad, which goes exponential every turn it isn't dealt with. Gets even more out of hand when the Brudiclad decks run extra combat cards.
See, the counterpoint to this is that every time my brudiclad deck plays, a single relevant resolution of his ability is all it takes to win. Planning around "multiple turns" and "extra combat" is just overkill
Wanna know what makes the situation you described worse? If they control a Sharding Sphinx. Whenever an Artifact Creature the Brudiclad player controls does combat damage to an opponent, Sharding Sphinx spits out a Blue Thopter. Per Artifact, Per Sphinx if you can make/have multiple (like with spark double, protean thaumaturge, etc.) They can also use Helm of the Host to make some Non-legendary Brudiclads Oh dont forget about mirror box too...
Even on the “fair” creature combat side of things where you don’t copy random cards from people, the new hotness in Brudiclad technology is “whenever you play a mana rock, get a Karnstruct token”. You will be atomized by every piece of spare change and crumbs on the battlefield suddenly becoming a squad of X creature tokens with power and toughness X/X, where X is equal to your IP address
@@lancesmith8298 I see. Thank you for the info, unfortunately those are mostly a bit too expensive for me atm, I guess I'll stick to sudden exponential Myr Battlesphere snowballing for now...
@@leopardbunny wurmcoils provide better stability vs board wipes, however sharing sphinx is probably one of the best win conditions. Doesn't beat Smaug tho.
I personally liked copying fleet swallower with it, because theres something funny about saying "sure you can block the 7 fleet swallowers, but either way, your deck becomes your graveyard"
Scuttling doom engine has been the win con in my brudiclad deck more times than I can count. Go ahead. Board wipe. I dare ya. Gemini engine is a pet card but the fact that it makes a token on attack immediately doubling your board has been my favorite win. Though stealing someone else’s blightsteel colossus and making 30 copies of it to over kill the table was pretty good too.
Yeah I put this in a Temur Food generation deck with Displaced Dinosaurs. I'm always one step away from smashing people with a bunch of 7/7 Dino Nuggets.
i will say the funniest stuff is copying some of the bobbleheads from the fallout secret lair or building a karnstruct factory by copying a simulacrum synthesizer
Fun fact: Brudiclad can be a theft deck if you put Keiga the Tide Star in there. Make a token of Keiga, turn all your other tokens into keiga, sac them all to legend rule, all creatures are now yours.
Is nice to see another bionicle brother here. I relatively new to Magic (I started play six months ago and for Christmas I bought my first Commander precon) and I still founding people of other communities
Bionicle lore is a shockingly deep pit to fall into, especially considering there hasn't been new lore in 7-14 years depending on if you count the attempted reboot and/or Greg Farshtey's post-discontinuation contributions.
Now i wanna build a Brudiclad deck, just because you called him a Bionicle and my love and nostalgia for that franchise runs very deep... I usually neither play red blue nor token strats but now im convinced to try a very janky token strat...
While I know the commander isn't out yet, I do hope you'll do a roast of Omo, queen of Vesuva. The fact she only needs one urza land to form tron is just the tip of the iceberg for the bs she's going to pulling in the future
As an avid Brudiclad player since 2018, here's my advice: 1: Treat Brudiclad like a sorcery, not a creature. He often only needs to hit the battlefield once. 2: Abuse the legend rule. You can un-Darksteel Mutation Brudiclad, make way too many treasures from Atsushi/Smaug, etc. 3: Creatures that make tokens are your friends. Copy them to have more friends. 4: Shared Animosity is funny. 5: Look up Academy Manufactor's official ruling.
For the lazy: If you control eighteen Academy Manufactors (I don't know, you figure it out) and would create some number of Clue, Food, or Treasure tokens, you will instead create 129,140,163 times that many Clue tokens, 129,140,163 times that many Food tokens, and 129,140,163 times that many Treasure tokens.
I have a brudi deck and you've summed it up quite well . . . Works stupid well with filigree attendant and ancient stone idol, especially with prototype portal
As someone who has played Brudiclad, he actually sucks, because people are actually reading cards now. I play anything fancier than fucking Blues Clues and the table hits me with seventeen board wipes and a nutshot.
As a monored/Izzet player, slow roll the shit out of your opponent. My group sees Ojer Axonil hit the field and I am seeing G-d quicker than I can cast Shock.
Bootyman was the reason I got into magic. Been my main squeeze for 6 years and drawing a hand is like popping the cork off a 40 year cabernet and taking a deep whiff. Even if I were to stop playing and sell my entire collection, I will never part with the Booty Warrior.
My boy finally had his time in the spotlight❤️ also if you want the stupidest brudiclad tech think about what happens when you have 9 academy manufactors
I just had a deck idea that I have to build now Brudiclad Eldrazi (Scions) Free mana every turn, plus it turns cards like Ral’s Reinforcements (2 mana for 2 tokens) into “pay 2, make 2 treasures” Eventually just build up enough scions for one of the new funni eldrazi (which you are now legally obligated to make a video on)
I did a similar thing with treasure generation. Most scion/spawn generators sadly only care about ETB/cast, which isn't super useful for Brudi. Also, never play him expecting him to stick for more than a turn, learned that from my years of playing him.
2 months 12 days and 12 seconds of asking for Emry, Lurker of the Loch. MaldHound has the uncanny ability to roast commanders I've run into lately. I too laughed at my opponent playing Brudiclad, expecting a platoon of 2/1 Myrs. What I got was them turning their 30 treasures into dragons from Dragonmaster Outcast. Man hit me with more dragons than in all the books of the Inheritance cycle combined.
A friend of mine has this deck and his goal is to make as many copies of food fight as possible and honestly every time I get domed for 80+ after a frankly silly turn I just feel proud of him.
Didn't expect my Brudiclad roast to include Bionicle references lol Thanks Mald. Brudiclad is my scary deck in my pod, nobody expects Grand Architect to multiply and gank them.
I love this guy he's one of my main commanders, when I bought the red blue 2018 artifact deck after one game and I immediately swapped the Planeswalker Commander for this guy and I have made it my mission to every game try to make a army of bane of Bala ged and exile my entire opponent's board before blockers are even considered I even bought a second copy of him just for my xyris the writhing storm deck to become a non-partner partner Commander for a rule zero game with adrix and Nev twin casters so I have two different Commander options for the game parallel lives on a commander and a commander that lets me turn all my tokens into a copy of any other token I control so I can have a bunch of clues food treasures gold and just one or two good token creatures that are big and boom I have a decent army as long as they're not legendaries although I do have helm of the host I can throw in the deck just to make copies of one of my three optional commanders although I do have essix Fractal bloom in the deck so at the beginning of my turn thanks to from beyond so I can make a copy of one of my other big creatures and then when combat comes around turn everything into that big dumb creature
Brudiclad is one of my favorite commanders. I had a really janky brudiclad deck that just wanted to make 5/5 dragons out of treasure tokens. I want to put a new list together for the commander
Roodaka. Those "armor pieces" are boobs, and everyone knows it. The whole plot line that years was about your body changing and feeling strange urges, too...
There and Back Again making Smaug, then turning all your tokens into him, then getting that many-1 times 13 treasure tokens due to legend rule is always fun, and horrifying to be on the receiving end of.
Brudiclad is my favorite combo finisher in my dragon deck Theres a cheaky little combo with the sentinel wurm where every dragon cast makes 8 treasures, a copy of the dragon, and 2 dragon tokens Finish it with earthquake dragon and then drop brudiclad, move to combat and turn every token you control into the earthquake dragon copy You recieve an army of at least 11 earthquake dragons that have haste
I like doing this deck with 0/0 Construct tokens that get +1/+1 for each other artifact. It kinda gets a Karn sub theme going, though I don’t run Great Creator. It could though.
As someone who’s piloted this deck since it came out, my one card tip for you is to play the card Hour of Need. It’s a blue and two colorless with a strive cost of another blue and colorless for each other target and it allows you to exile target creature and its controller creates a 4/4 angel token. So for five mana you can take out your opponents biggest threat and create an army of angels for yourself at the same time. The card is basically unplayable anywhere else but very swingy here
huge combo with this deck is there and back again where you turn everything into smaughs then legend rule to make 14 x however many tokens you had treasures
that one legendary smaug token that makes 20 treasures on death is WILD in brudichad, you turn all your tokens into smaug, legend rule off everything, and get 20x the tokens for next turn :)
Used this boy to make a "Luck Bobblehead" deck (named "Bobbleclad") where after making a token copy of it with Bclad and 20-30 random tokens on the field, I'd usually just win the game or at least have 50+ tapped treasures (fortunately Luck and Charisma head both produce a bunch of tokens too!).
Hey! First time asking, but I would really love to see you review this combo-commander; it’s my only commander deck, but it’s broken. “6th Doctor + Romana II” I will copy EVERYTHING!!!
All of my friends check under their beds for Karn-struct tokens before they go to sleep. Not because they’re particularly afraid, but because those things just end up everywhere
Got a friend who loves to play this card and try to go full spaghetti monster with this guy. And considering you can have non-legendary copies you can see where this is going...
Friend of mine made Brudiclad a sort of group hug deck for early game. He gives us treasures and the like then all of a sudden he makes one dragon token and has 18 of em swinging at us.
I have the original Brudiclad commander deck (that comes with an oversized planeswalker they thought we'd use as the commander, Saheeli I think) and haven't updated in years, I think it's time.
I remember building a deck with krenko, brudiclad, and helm of the host. If i started my combat step with merely 3 tokens on the board, by the start of my next combat step, i could swing with over 1000 tokens
Honestly, my friend's Brudiclad deck is one of my favorite ones to play against in our group, just to see what happens. One time he turned his board into an exponentially increasing number of Thopter Spy Networks.
I know the funny thing to do with Brud is making a army of beaters or a legendary sac-fest, but my favorite clone target is probably Reckless Fireweaver. Doing 2-12 damage per treasure token dropped in an izzet ramp deck is good synergy.
This deck is the biggest case of "it sucks until it doesn't"
I've built this guy so many times, he is just to unreliable to ever be played, if he pops off he wins really easily, but if he doesn't it's weaker than precons
the key is to have token generators and other win cons such as Mechanized Production to end the game faster, artifacts and artificers from Brother's War (forgot the names but one deals 1 damage to all opponents every time an artifact ETB and there's a Dragon artifact creature that for one R gives all your artifact creatures +1/+0 until end of turn), and other artifacts that can create token clones of your stuff and permanents.
since blue is in the equation, you can protect your stuff with either a wall of hexproof or have counterspells ready for any boardwipes or removal.
Couldn't have said it better myself... and he is still my favorite commander

I even bought a second copy of him just for my xyris the writhing storm deck to become a non-partner partner Commander for a rule zero game with adrix and Nev twin casters so I have two different Commander options for the game parallel lives on a commander and a commander that lets me turn all my tokens into a copy of any other token I control so I can have a bunch of clues food treasures gold and just one or two good token creatures that are big and boom I have a decent army as long as they're not legendaries although I do have helm of the host I can throw in the deck just to make copies of one of my three optional commanders although I do have essix Fractal bloom in the deck so at the beginning of my turn thanks to from beyond so I can make a copy of one of my other big creatures and then when combat comes around turn everything into that big dumb creature
Love the reference of the non-euclidian mass :D
I love this, Smaug, and aggravated assault.
"Congratulations you have been a victim of propaganda" hahahaha. Your one liners are always on point
Brudiclad is one of my favorite commanders. I had a really janky brudiclad deck that just wanted to make 5/5 dragons out of treasure tokens. I want to put a new list together for the commander
what tf do you mean "hot Bionicle's"
You know damn well which ones
The hot ones
My vote is for the red one. Cause fire is red, and fire is hot.
Roodaka. Those "armor pieces" are boobs, and everyone knows it. The whole plot line that years was about your body changing and feeling strange urges, too...
I never thought I would actually suggest people find a religion ☠️
gonna need a list of the hot bionicles now
Taka Nuva fetishism is alive and well 👍🏻
What about Toa Nokama?
Played this deck, was fun making some goblins, turning them into Smaug and then having a ton of mana
Everybody's a gangsta, until Sythis, Harvest's Hand hits the table on turn 2 with extra mana to spare...
GIVE ME OVIKA, ENIGMA GOLIATH
Very glad to learn that my favorite Magic UA-camr is also a Bionicle fan.
There and Back Again making Smaug, then turning all your tokens into him, then getting that many-1 times 13 treasure tokens due to legend rule is always fun, and horrifying to be on the receiving end of.
Brudiclad is my favorite combo finisher in my dragon deck
Theres a cheaky little combo with the sentinel wurm where every dragon cast makes 8 treasures, a copy of the dragon, and 2 dragon tokens
Finish it with earthquake dragon and then drop brudiclad, move to combat and turn every token you control into the earthquake dragon copy
You recieve an army of at least 11 earthquake dragons that have haste
I like doing this deck with 0/0 Construct tokens that get +1/+1 for each other artifact. It kinda gets a Karn sub theme going, though I don’t run Great Creator. It could though.
As someone who’s piloted this deck since it came out, my one card tip for you is to play the card Hour of Need. It’s a blue and two colorless with a strive cost of another blue and colorless for each other target and it allows you to exile target creature and its controller creates a 4/4 angel token. So for five mana you can take out your opponents biggest threat and create an army of angels for yourself at the same time. The card is basically unplayable anywhere else but very swingy here
Bludiclad can't get it. His clone army, on the other hand...
I'm surprised he didn't mention the helm of the host combo
Yeeeeees, my OG first commander!
I wish Raff, weatherlight stalwart had just a bit if red in him for this guy.
huge combo with this deck is there and back again where you turn everything into smaughs then legend rule to make 14 x however many tokens you had treasures
Behold a dozen plus blightsteel colossuses!
This with dollhouse of horrors is a fun combo
Asking once again, sir, to light up Scion of the Ur-Dragon. He's a funny lil' guy
that one legendary smaug token that makes 20 treasures on death is WILD in brudichad, you turn all your tokens into smaug, legend rule off everything, and get 20x the tokens for next turn :)
Used this boy to make a "Luck Bobblehead" deck (named "Bobbleclad") where after making a token copy of it with Bclad and 20-30 random tokens on the field, I'd usually just win the game or at least have 50+ tapped treasures (fortunately Luck and Charisma head both produce a bunch of tokens too!).
Me, on my way to use one copy spell and suddenly have 37 Guttersnipes:
I love using this card with mirror gallery and krenko, mob boss
This may come back into my artifacts deck now that I have Simulacrum Synthesizer.
I used to play this deck it was one of my scariest thanks to an interaction with Helm of the host
Once more I beseech the Lord of Roasts to take a crack at Eight-and-a-Half-Tails. He's my favorite commander.
MY SWEET SWEET BOY
Goes well in Davros
Hey! First time asking, but I would really love to see you review this combo-commander; it’s my only commander deck, but it’s broken. “6th Doctor + Romana II” I will copy EVERYTHING!!!
All of my friends check under their beds for Karn-struct tokens before they go to sleep. Not because they’re particularly afraid, but because those things just end up everywhere
I was gonna build this to see how many brudiclads I could get on the field at once (and then obviously invest in extra combats)
Got a friend who loves to play this card and try to go full spaghetti monster with this guy. And considering you can have non-legendary copies you can see where this is going...
Irenicus' vile duplication, now an army of flying brudiclad are there making more
This was the card to give me my first Commander Moment (tm)
Making an entire field of darksteel juggernauts out of nowhere just hits different
Maldhound hinting that he is also a Roodaka simp is the validation and reassurance I needed today
Friend of mine made Brudiclad a sort of group hug deck for early game. He gives us treasures and the like then all of a sudden he makes one dragon token and has 18 of em swinging at us.
Slimefoot and squee! Or the Original. He’s my boi
"Can Brudiclad get it? No"
I see that you have chosen to live the half existence of a coward.
I have the original Brudiclad commander deck (that comes with an oversized planeswalker they thought we'd use as the commander, Saheeli I think) and haven't updated in years, I think it's time.
Wurmcoil engine is a great addition to this deck btw
That's going in the Izzet spellslinger deck that churns out 4/4 elementals
I remember building a deck with krenko, brudiclad, and helm of the host. If i started my combat step with merely 3 tokens on the board, by the start of my next combat step, i could swing with over 1000 tokens
Honestly, my friend's Brudiclad deck is one of my favorite ones to play against in our group, just to see what happens. One time he turned his board into an exponentially increasing number of Thopter Spy Networks.
Finally my deck is here
brudiclad is especially fun in my mishra, eminent one deck 🙏
I know the funny thing to do with Brud is making a army of beaters or a legendary sac-fest, but my favorite clone target is probably Reckless Fireweaver. Doing 2-12 damage per treasure token dropped in an izzet ramp deck is good synergy.
You should do Mirko, Obsessive Theorist or The Mycotyrant
I need a Krenko, Mob Boss video.
This further cements my hatred of blue and "copy/clone target" ANYTHING.
