Bruh these wild cards are such a pain. The cost to actually get a deck that I really want to play is driving me away from Arena. You can say "mad cuz poor" but in all reality I'd rather spend my money on real physical cards than digital cardboard 😢
Good thing is that theres so many staples. Lots of cards you can use in lots of Decks (like 70% of every Dimir Deck is already set in stone before you start building)
The main problem is the wild-cards required for dual lands. You are at a massive disadvantage without them, so every time an old rare dual land cycle is replaced, you need 40 rare wild cards to continue for the non singleton formats.
They should at least make lands either free or a separate kind of wildcard which are easier to get. I hate having to craft sets of rare lands to be competitive in standard.
This is exactly why I don't play Arena. I took a break from paper magic for 20 years, came back in 2022 because my brother got me back into it with commander. Tried to play on Arena, I just can't do it. I would rather just buy paper cards.
sweet vid! more awesome brawl content! love the decklist walkthru highlighting the cards and how they fit in the deck. definitely learning alot about deck building and strategies and what makes cards good in the brawl format. Keep it up!
really interesting build! i've tried it with a full lotus field package and it's been absolutely gross even when i don't draw field since stifle effects are so good in brawl. (and of course when i pull off lotus stifle it's absolutely backbreaking.)
9:33 Sadly you cannot get your own creature back. Brazen Borrower specifically targets a no land permanent that an opponent controls. Be careful with this!
Derevi was the first "designed for commander" mistake ever, and by god did it get only worse. This is tame compared to some of the BS you get nowadays.
Derevi I think was easily the most pushed of the commanders from that set for sure but if we want to say actual mistake Marath from those same decks was errata’d before the decks even came out because so one on the design team thought that someone would say X equals zero.
@@DerekS-kq3zh Theyre from the same set. Derevi is way more egregious than Oloro is. Cheating a fundamental part of the format is bonkers. Oloro's gain 2 clause was annoying, but not nearly as broken. Oloro ability lead to much worse stuff like Edgar Markov and The Ur Dragon.
@@KromeDrone It's a matter of opinion. Eminence is a much 'worse' thing for Commander IMO, and when these were released Oloro was definitely more prevalent
I hate this bird. Who thought it would be a good idea to have a commander that completely negates the commander concept? Not even a matter of it being good or not. It's just stupid. /rant
I can't wait till we get Medomai on arena. He's my favorite card in my Derevi deck. ❤ Also a real shame that they nerfed 3feri on arena. Untapping mana to leave up spells like Rivers Rebuke on their end step is op.
The guy on Nowhere to Run looks a lot like CGB.
I had the same thoughts some days ago 🤣

It gets easier as you play more. You don't even have to spend money if you've got the time of doing dailies long enough.
40:03 plays like this are the reason why i love MTG

"But do they have a Lightning Bolt"
and a basic Mountain to cast it because that Harbinger was _brutal_
I pay 4 mana to play Derevi while saying "Owl be back"
Aren't you a hoot?

Where the hell is Guardian Project?! Can’t go too crazy I guess
Derevi Tax Evader.

At around 30 mins you couldve attacked with derevi and with tashas trigger used tidebinder cuz when you atrack tasha it creates a trigger
Wow can't believe you just casualy made a subtle reference to RemyMTG's Moon song at 35 minutes, amazing content as always !
I like talking about card choices intro 😊

Nah, that "honor" goes to Oloro

Jesus, that Harbinger carried the whole last game.
On that last game, I would have let the crawler resolve, just so i could steal it with storm drake and kill them with it.
Cool builds, as you said it seems really flexible.
I wanted to check out the vod channel but I can't find the link
think its the live section on the channel.
Infinite 4 mana 2/3 to do something very flexible for instant speed??
The Call of the Winter Moon is strong.
Keep in mind this deck would be illegal for commander. Either way though, great brawl deck!
Big fan of the brawl content, would love to see deck lists of your brawl decks for commander, and see the change in cards and playstyle!
TL;DR for those who skip the intro
Birds the word
I hate this bird. Who thought it would be a good idea to have a commander that completely negates the commander concept?

And here I am wanting Yuriko added to Arena. Yeah I’m a monster
I believe in Derevi supremacy 🦉🛐
