@scrowtumbus7522 what? He didn't say that, I'm so confused on what you are confused on. Like the comment you responded to, is blatantly obvious what he means. If you know the cards names you know what he meant, I literally have only been playing magic for like maybe a total of 2 weeks and even I understand what he meant. Like it's must saying 1 cards busted and another cards busted, like it's not confusing
Fair play to the players that let you play it all out but theres no way id be sitting through all that solitaire. What is wotc doing with these cards man.
WOTC is in a greedy race to the bottom... against themselves. It's obvious Hasbro is forcing them to spam more sets than there is organic market demand for. They've exhausted the demand for Secret Lair and special edition cards, decks, collector edition packs and foils etc. They've raised prices (the last thing you want to do when demand is drying up, but again obviously Hasbro has ordered them to maximize revenue short term regardless of the long term damage to the brand and business). The only lever/knob WOTC has left to yank on is power creeping themselves. The era of MTG fans trying to buy and collect (nevermind trade!) cards complete sets is over. It's impossible and unfun now. WOTCs is left with only two businesses: #1 slowly proxying their own restricted list over time while waiting for the 90s collectors to literally die ie stop complaining about reprints destroying collection value. #2 quickly power creeping new sets, especially the Universes Beyond IP to stimulate buying demand artificially.
i dont know how long youve been playing magic... they have never known what the hell theyre doing, if you paid attention you'd have noticed that when magic was at its best it was more of a happy coincidence than them doing their jobs properly
@@irtnyc The Monty Python secret lair sold out immediately and I doubt Flubs is going to function well outside of Commander which is a wild west format anyway.
@@jasonslade6259I have a feeling you underestimate how many people prefer commander over standard. The issue with flubs is not the power level or anything, it's just boring to sit at the table against it.
If you do make a sign up list for members to challenge you announce it in another video! I can’t afford to be a member every month but I would sign up for that
10:45 You could have used Depart the Realm to bounce Springheart Nantuko to your hand, then bestowed it on Lotus Cobra from there to gain the limitless mana you were after!
That first fight (can't watch the rest yet, due to work!) I am just impressed that guy stayed and watched you make it pop off, that was great to watch!
I recently ran a Flubs deck with my commander group thinking it'd be funny little frog landfall deck...and then it exploded on them just like this. Glad to see others appreciating it.
I've been watching your standard gameplay for a long time, but I think these long form brawl deck in progress videos might be my favorite content of yours.
Small thing, when we have song of creation and flubs on board, I’m pretty sure you can stack it so that the flubs trigger resolves first and then the song, so you wouldn’t have to discard
A strong way to avoid decking out is to have two or more Oracle of the Alpha ETB triggers to get some Timetwisters and Timewalks. Saiba Siphoner could also be nice in this package and Timeless Witness.
@theplace-hk6rs I could see it, but honestly, I would prefer Oracle of the Alpha and Time Twister the grave back into the library so the deck-out situation will not occur at all. Five mana is kind of asking for much. I think Displacer Kitten could be cool to get even more Oracle ETB and targets for stuff like Nadu.
In my flubs build i went hard on the artifact route with all the cheapest random things to play and tons of cost reducers, but i really like the way youve built yours as well.
intrigued by the potential the first flubs portrayed, loved the potential you harnessed from flubs in this vid. MUST see how you would flub on the worst possible commander show
That game against Ulalek though. Opponent was tapped out and CGB had an extra turn. Hundreds of Scutes instead of just passing and attacking, impressed that your opponent stayed.
flubs secret is plot, foretell, madness, hellbent, flashback, and escape. just drop good cards in the colors with those keywords and the deck plays itself. hitting mizzix master for 19 spells on turn 4 is always a treat.
Wanted to build around Flubs as well as soon as I saw him. A great card in it for me is Living Twister. You can manage your hand cards early game to abuse Flubs better ad not get stucked and it's a decent finisher late game.
I think something like Hazardous Blast could be a good finisher in this deck or really anything that says "creatures your opponents control can't block this turn". Great vid ❤
built Flubs in arena last night becuase i got the free promo at pre-release and after i set up the board i exiled through my deck in two turns only to lose to drawing from an empty deck lol. it was amazing
Taking out the Graveyard land things is a good point not gonna lie I can see getting stuck atleast with the strategy your going for, I think I might keep them in my paper deck just because I kinda wanna slow down and play with discarding a bit more this deck seems really optimized for keeping the draw chain going without ever needing to discard and that is better to not include the Graveyard land things but I do think there is a version of this deck that also intentionally plays into the discard meaning Graveyard land recursion can actually give you a pretty good discard based engine, may be less optimal though. Love the deck though I'm going something similar with main gameplay being land based and impulse draw but with a bit more intentional discard in the mix although you are definitely making me consider more Adventure cards
Not a deck for your local playgroup, unless you want to be bullied out of the game, so you don´t take all the game actions in one turn, that you were supposed to take over the whole evening :D
I put in [Struggle // Survive] in mine. Serves as slow removal and also 2 mana shuffle both graveyards 😁 although at the rate your deck exiles itself, that might not add much to a turn! I do wonder, why doesn't Flub's draw trigger kill you with nothing in the library?
If you have tormented prophet out, it replaces the draw with exiling from the top of your library, so you never try to draw from an empty library and die
Flubs is my new favorit card. I just love everything, the art, the concept, the stupidity. LOVE. I got back into mtg(a) with bloomburrow, unfort. way to late for mtga... Last 2 days :( THANK you for showing my fav card some love 🫶🏻
I tried so many lists on paper already. My favourite commander ever already. My favourite lists were scapeshift and storm. Minds Desire is good in this deck
I feel like this video should be called "How to take as long of a turn as possible without activating the timer." Impressive though. I guess I was expecting a quicker win con after the exile absurdity started.
I threw together a helga, skittish seer deck for brawl and it’s pretty fun. I think it will be better in commander though, most the decks I go against in brawl are removal tribal and you really need her to live for a while.
Those spells are in the deck, I just made this comment after a few games playing against removal heavy decks and I didn’t draw any protection spells. It happens sometimes 🤷🏼♂️
was gonna try to run this deck with my friend group but there's no way I wouldn't get kicked out for it. Do you think this card is gonna get banned from commander or other formats? seems similarly broken to Nadu.
CGB, did you consider Ashaya, Soul of the Wild as an include? It'll turn all your nontoken creatures into landfall triggers and turn a few dead drops into mana neutral plays and eventually into more mana advantage once you have enough Lotus Cobra style effects. If you did consider it and decided not to include it, I'm curious why. Is it too high costed, or are there other reasons it doesn't work out for Flubs?

It's very obvious that the paper format has been abandoned. Which should come as no surprise to anyone in 2024.
More brawl!! Feels good watching the progression for this deck, feels like we're on the journey to the perfect Flubs deck with you
Just added spring leaf drum and party thrasher, cut demon bolt and depart the realm
Sooo:) when are you going to make a sign up list for mesa falcon peeps to challenge you
If you do make a sign up list for members to challenge you announce it in another video! I can’t afford to be a member every month but I would sign up for that
1. Exile deck.
2. ?????
3. Profit
4. opponent casts fog. No true fog in the format? Umm "broken wings" i guess
🎶 Time to go to work! Work all night! Exile all the decks yay! We won't stop till we exile decks! Yum tum yummy tum tay! 🎶 🎵
step 2 I think is Thassa's Oracle
10:45 You could have used Depart the Realm to bounce Springheart Nantuko to your hand, then bestowed it on Lotus Cobra from there to gain the limitless mana you were after!
That first fight (can't watch the rest yet, due to work!) I am just impressed that guy stayed and watched you make it pop off, that was great to watch!
Flubs recognizes Flubs
My favorite part of Flubs is when he says "It's FLUBBIN' TIME" and then he Flubs all over the place.
I recently ran a Flubs deck with my commander group thinking it'd be funny little frog landfall deck...and then it exploded on them just like this. Glad to see others appreciating it.
Loving these raw Brawl videos with the evolution of the decks. Really enjoying them!
My God, so many new CGB videos, i'm gonna lose my job!
man you played 100 turns worth of magic to that first guy's 8 turns worth!
This deck is going to be hell in commander
Love this stuff.
Also, considering Flubs is a frog, Scute Swarm is like an infinite dinner party for him.
I've been watching your standard gameplay for a long time, but I think these long form brawl deck in progress videos might be my favorite content of yours.
one really fun thing about flubs its that it benefits u for mulligan aggresively, specially if u need to start flubing fast
I’m loving this CGB format, just playing games and tuning a deck in brawl.
Small thing, when we have song of creation and flubs on board, I’m pretty sure you can stack it so that the flubs trigger resolves first and then the song, so you wouldn’t have to discard

Is Thassa's Oracle Brawl legal? Nice alt wincon if so.
Fortunately not.
Living conundrum could also work

Five mana is kind of asking for much. I think Displacer Kitten could be cool to get even more Oracle ETB and targets for stuff like Nadu.
Thassa’s oracle is legal in brawl, as is Jace, wielder of mysteries
Really appreciate you sharing the update - the fact that you love this so much really comes through
if you can draw your whole deck like that you absolutly need Thassa's oracle as a secondary wincon strat in case
Love refinement videos, watching you hone in on the perfect build is amazing brawl content
These videos coming out during the last few hours of my shift are like a care package. Thanks CGB keep em comin dude
I really like you walking through your thought process with deck building, this is great
In my flubs build i went hard on the artifact route with all the cheapest random things to play and tons of cost reducers, but i really like the way youve built yours as well.
Id love to see that match against LegendVD from your perspective
Loving the format on this btw, great to see you deck building decisions as you improve the deck
Fiery Emancipation could be an interesting way to kill with Valakut Exploration
Gotta say, I quite enjoy being along for the ride of seeing the deck refinement and decisions.
It feels so good watching Fblthp shine here holy toledo, awesome games man!
Could you imagine keeping track of all the triggers playing this deck live?
Came to see your match against @LegendVD. RIP
This mesa falcon guy seems pretty chill
Grapeshot should have been an instant include in this deck dawg lol
Match vs. LVD is missing. Please update video or add as new one.
intrigued by the potential the first flubs portrayed, loved the potential you harnessed from flubs in this vid. MUST see how you would flub on the worst possible commander show
Love the refined deck!! I will like, thumbs up, and comment for every brawl upgrade video. No editing is just as fun too

I put some storm cards in my deck and it does wonder as a game ender. The medallions are also in brawl now so those are auto includes
I play fair _Laelia_ , and _Ruby Medallion_ with _Birgi_ and _Runaway Steamkin_ does some pretty devastating stuff.

1:02:11 Nice stack of triggers ;3
The way I see magic players loving Flubs is how I see Lazlo loving his witch hat
So excited about Flubs, wanted to make him my commander from day 1 and now 2 videos in a row from cgb! Is it christmas guys?
I can now say I completely understand why Commander-bans target certain cards.
love the format, it is great seing you have fun while coooooking
Upgrade vids are great imo, ty!!
flubs likes mass land destruction and return land from graveyard makeing your opponent literally unhappy the entire game XD
The only MLD on Arena is _Fall of the Thran_ , or perhaps _Urza's Sylex_ to equalize against a ramp deck, so all in mono-White, unfortunately.
That's true. I play mainly physical so have more options, but that is a good point!
This deck needs a free discard outlet to keep the awkward two card hands from hurting.
I recommend ghostly pilferer
"two of dis guy" made me laugh out loud
Finally a good deck list!!
I love the brawl more than standard videos for sure
The fact that this video already has more views than the other one is awesome.
love the content, that was great. love to see more like this
Wow! This is how playing brawl should be, crazy good!
FLubs is such a fun commander. Pocket storm but without any of the predictability. Frequently go 70+ cards deep in the deck.
This feels like Magic with extra steps.
Can we just spend a moment to appreciate that Flubs's art is a reference to Tarot?
Not a deck for your local playgroup, unless you want to be bullied out of the game, so you don´t take all the game actions in one turn, that you were supposed to take over the whole evening :D
Love the longer brawl vids
I put in [Struggle // Survive] in mine. Serves as slow removal and also 2 mana shuffle both graveyards 😁 although at the rate your deck exiles itself, that might not add much to a turn!
I do wonder, why doesn't Flub's draw trigger kill you with nothing in the library?
Exile replacement effect
If you have tormented prophet out, it replaces the draw with exiling from the top of your library, so you never try to draw from an empty library and die
Flubs is my new favorit card. I just love everything, the art, the concept, the stupidity. LOVE. I got back into mtg(a) with bloomburrow, unfort. way to late for mtga... Last 2 days :(
THANK you for showing my fav card some love 🫶🏻
Here for this, deck building and testing. ❤❤
Strike it Rich was in graveyard because you played a land after drawing it.
I tried so many lists on paper already. My favourite commander ever already. My favourite lists were scapeshift and storm. Minds Desire is good in this deck
I feel like this video should be called "How to take as long of a turn as possible without activating the timer." Impressive though. I guess I was expecting a quicker win con after the exile absurdity started.
Oh? Bro solved the recipe? Bet. Gotta see this
That guy/girl SupaRhino is a champ. Sitting throught that shite.
Run omniscience and shifting woodland. Basically guarentees you can play your entire deck in one turn
Have the views or not, and come to watch the play and enjoy all of it, thanks CGB. It's always a good time for some blue white by the way
CGB never rests.
this makes me really want to try the deck, but damn that deck list cost is crazy, nearly $900
Would love to see this deck in your commander squad.
man, i really really love my eruth commander, but having access to green is also nice 😂
That awkward moment when you pay for Nantuko to get more Cobra tokens, but you are at max token limit already... And it doesn't matter. True flex :D
I threw together a helga, skittish seer deck for brawl and it’s pretty fun. I think it will be better in commander though, most the decks I go against in brawl are removal tribal and you really need her to live for a while.
All of her primary colors have great 1-mana protection spells, so it sounds like a deck-building issue.
Those spells are in the deck, I just made this comment after a few games playing against removal heavy decks and I didn’t draw any protection spells. It happens sometimes 🤷🏼♂️
was gonna try to run this deck with my friend group but there's no way I wouldn't get kicked out for it. Do you think this card is gonna get banned from commander or other formats? seems similarly broken to Nadu.
no way i would have sat through all that after you casted time warp
Surprised you didn’t add Shrieking Drake
Yo cgb, saw rarrans stream, the deck was fire!
Hey quick question, is this a version of Commander in MTGA? If so, how do you access it?
Flubs is powerful, but also the glassiest of cannons. Any removal when they trigger flubs and the value train stops dead.
why no wrenn and seven? It can really get you going. searching for a land or dropping multiple land at the same time is very cool!
It's 5 mana, which needs to be game-changing in this deck, and works best with Graveyard synergies, which CGB removed.
Wizards needs to print a Flubber secret lair so tgat this deck can be the flubbiest flubber that ever flubbed.
Not sure if "Anger" is banned or even in mtg arena but that wouldnt be a bad card
I know its boring but any specific reason why no craterhoof?
CGB, did you consider Ashaya, Soul of the Wild as an include? It'll turn all your nontoken creatures into landfall triggers and turn a few dead drops into mana neutral plays and eventually into more mana advantage once you have enough Lotus Cobra style effects.

Nadu levels of cant end games efficiently
I think the worst part Nadu is that he's going to be used as clickbait for the rest of time.
Progression video respect
Kuddos to the first player to beinv able to sit through all that
I wanted to make a flubs deck in paper, is there anything not on arena you would recommend running specifically?
More flubs he is so cracked
Have you tried putting in anger just incase you make a ton of scute swarms?
Thassa's Oracle is a serious card here
14:58 Not sure how you were going to win. Couldn't see this supposed giant Ornithopter behind you. Might want to adjust your position.
typical unoptimized flubs deck
