I’m not a fan of seeing narset all over the brawl queue, but dude your breakdowns of the strategy are so good. No other TH-camr takes the amount of time and care to explain their thoughts behind the cards they include and I really appreciate it!
It's a relatively new commander in this iteration of the game, so I don't see the issue. I'd rather run into her than yet another Etali, Imoti or sliverless First Sliver for sure.
this is why i love lvd. It's magic asmr, a totally chill vibe that I dont get when I actually play the game because I tilt at everything: "OH THIS MOTHERFUCKER PLAYED A LAND THAT ASSHOLE"
Same reason he is my favourite MTG games TH-camr. His calm and casual commentary is what allows me to stream his games in front of my family and young children without fear of them picking up crude language.
Definitely my favorite MTG content creator. So chill, plus so in-depth and informative. And the decks are just insanely powerful and super fun. Love the content, thanks for making it :)
I played narset- extra combats in commander back in the day, when I realized she was coming to brawl I knew I needed to build her. I love seeing your builds, your card selection is so immaculate, cycling for early and late game relevance, your interaction is cheap yet has late game relevance, and your ramp selection is very clean. Your deck building is a wonder to behold❤
Love the thorough deck breakdowns, really insightful to deck building. Small request though: would you put a card count on each of the sections when you do the breakdown in the beginning? No sweat if you don't think it's relevant or if you don't like how it looks. Excellent content, cheers buddy
It's tricky since some cards can fit into multiple categories so the count wouldn't be very accurate. It's also not an exact science, so if someone were to replicate the deck they don't need the same numbers.
I usually watch CovertGoBlue for brawl content but I gotta say I've been converted. I've never seen anybody more level-headed, thoughtful, and organized when playing this absolutely absurd game.
I was playing Narset when she was released and oh my it was about as devastating as shown here. Now most people just quit and she got put into the brawl hell queue (5C Jodah, Golos, Esikia, Scarab God etc.). Still extremely fun to play!
It's my favourite paper commander (my build is more of a voltron though), and I built one on Arena two days before KTK became available. Been playing it since day one, never gets old. But I do keep fighting Etalis and Ruskos.
It might be a bit dumb, but while watching your videos on PC I sometimes skip 5 seconds while you are making a decision, or during the opponent's turn. Its kinda funny, sometimes it makes sense. "We can - removal - Narset - keep up - counterspell - counter - alright".
Problem I have is that people seem to forget that she needs to hit the field asap and with haste if possible. Everyone wants to just include expensive stuff and not enough early ramp. Irencraig is solid in the deck. You want to make it an equipment so she can be a 6/5 which will allow her to attack through most stuff. So far Your version is the best I’ve seen.
@@AkodoNoEyes Pretty sure the Irencrag loses all abilities, not the equipped creature. So basically, Irencrag loses the ability to tap for mana and that's it.
@@Asian_Caleb It's the Iron Craig that lose the mana ability. I have used Iron Craig as an equipment many times already so i know it works that way. Still, i do find the wording in the card a little confusing. At first, i also thought the creature would lose its ability.
Took a look at this since I'd already built a Brawl deck using her and was curious how mine stacked up. There are some really neat interactions in your build here that I'd overlooked, but I was surprised not to see Hit the Mother Lode your deck. It worked wonders in mine, making the turns even more unbalanced with all that extra Treasure to use (after all the free spells are cast). Either way a really fun one to play, and to watch! I can see a nerf of this coming to Arena for sure.
@@Yesnomu discover the formula seems like a good choice. Aren’t there 2 low mana cost cards thst let you seek stuff to help the early game? I do like Molten Impact. I kinda wonder if Counterspell is worth siding out for something else.
Thanks for the skeleton. Gonna add the enchantment resurrection and fun a little more counter spell when I give it another stab. I remember this commander was the absolute most busted thing like 10 years ago Now, it's mid jank🤣♥️
It's in no way jank unless you try to build in multi-card dependant combos that just end up getting exiled at the wrong time. Watch out with too many counterspells, you'll end up exiling them when they're useless. I'm running more protect than counters, because survivability of Narset is more important. Put in spells like Chimil and the giant mana blowouts and it wins.
The most broken thing about narset isn’t even the free spells, it’s a gimmicky commander with hexproof, so usually you could just remove the commander to stop the deck but not here 💀
When I saw Narset, I was like "Wow, this card totally sucks. A SIX MANA 3/2 that wants to ATTACK?? It should cost like four mana!" ...I missed the words "without paying their mana cost."
I mention the format at the start of the video. It's also written in the video description. Every video is sorted into a playlist by format on my channel page. You can also filter my decklists by format on Aetherhub: aetherhub.com/User/LegenVD/Decks
Not surprised that they just refer to it as Brawl now. It's a fun format. Great stand in for Commander. NOBODY plays Standard Brawl. For the LOLs I jumped into the Standard Brawl queue, and left after waiting for 25 minutes for a game. 😂
As much as I love Narset, Enlightened Master, playing her 1v1 in Brawl makes me remember why I gutted my EDH deck of her, she just devolves into un-fun solitaire. The new Narset, Enlightened Exile I find to be much more entertaining. She's just so much better designed. All that said, great video as usual LVD.
@@AndDiracisHisProphet well from my experience if you have 0 or few you will likely match with similar deck. It is the same with historic, not to say you will never see them but it is like 1 every 5 game at best
I hate how every new commander released is automatically put into the generic brawl queue. Most of these decks didn't stand a chance against yours. Every new broken legendary gets to completely destroy the general queue for three months before they finally adjust it into hell queue. There have been a few exceptions to this like Ragavan and Griselbrand, but so many have gone completely unchecked [e.g. Narset, Atraxa, Rusko]. It just destroys the meta and no matter how shitty your deck you will likely be paired with totally broken commanders simply due to WOTC's laziness.
I've heard reports that Narset already got bumped up in the hell queue. I agree it's been a problem in the past. They probably want to wait on the data before making decisions, but more frequent updates in-between releases would alleviate this problem.
What’s wrong with commander? It’s far less predictable than 60 card because of singleton. Cards that are garbage in other formats shine in commander because it’s diverse and objectively not boring
Thank goodness they got rid of the normal brawl format. Who was unironically playing brawl?? Part of what makes singleton fun is the vast cardpool. You lnow what I don't want in my format that inherently limits me to spur my creative imagination? So many limits i can't make anything.
Just beat up this deck with The First Sliver, wondering what the deck was about... and immediately I find the video for it hahaha Yes. You read that right. First Sliver player, unleash your hatred.
I'll take a thousand of you over ANY 5c Jodah player who just typed "Card Type: Legendary" and hit insert all. At least you want to play yourself in the good order first.

"Can we find some goodies? Oh yes."

this deck would be so much fun if everyone didn't instantly concede the second you attack with narset
Would love brawl videos for each of the other four Khans too!
I can't wait for Arena to force my _C_ and _B_ tier commanders into fights with this absolute monster lol.
This deck is DISGUSTING!!!! So glad i get to watch it in a video and not playing against it LOL
Awesome job as always Luca! I appreciate you, man!
For those looking to download from aether, the deck list is missing Lorian Revealed
Fixed, thanks for the heads up!

Fixed!
The worst thing about playing top tier decks is that the oppo often concedes before the cool things happen
It's my favourite paper commander (my build is more of a voltron though), and I built one on Arena two days before KTK became available. Been playing it since day one, never gets old. But I do keep fighting Etalis and Ruskos.
Yeah I did the same, and once the power level was shown she got put into THAT queue, which is a shame, but totally warranted :D

Brawl videos are my favourite
The first treasure-maker to come to mind for this deck is Fable of the Mirror-Breaker, why exclude it?
It's not guaranteed to make a Treasure and we really need Narset in play asap.
My favourite commander in Arena since Sauron the Dark Lord.
Being Narset is my 2nd favorite Planeswalker and I love Jeskai...this makes me happy in pants!
Did you consider Palantir of Orthanc for the deck due to the high cmc spells in the deck??
I did! It’s an option although it doesn’t really fit perfectly in any of the categories that we need for the deck to function.
This commander is definitely going to the hell queue if she is not there yet.
She's there. Took a day or two from my play experience, though.
What alchemy cards would you include if you included any. I’m thinking key to the archive over firemind vessel.
That's about it (I'm not very familiar with most of them).
That’s about all I can think of. I do want to put the oracle in just for the fun of revelaing power 9 off the top 😂🤣
You might want Discover the Formula and Molten Impact as well, but I agree, not a whole lot.
@@Yesnomu discover the formula seems like a good choice. Aren’t there 2 low mana cost cards thst let you seek stuff to help the early game?

Yes
33:29 quite cheecky, Mr. Legend.
Thanks for the skeleton. Gonna add the enchantment resurrection and fun a little more counter spell when I give it another stab.
I remember this commander was the absolute most busted thing like 10 years ago
Now, it's mid jank🤣♥️
Wdym mid jank its even better now? than it was 10 years ago. In most decks if this gets an attack trigger off you win on the spot
It's in no way jank unless you try to build in multi-card dependant combos that just end up getting exiled at the wrong time.

@@mightyhulk1483 more than you think unless youre mono green or counter it in mono blue theres decent options

Wooo more brawl more brawl more brawl!!
When I saw Narset, I was like "Wow, this card totally sucks. A SIX MANA 3/2 that wants to ATTACK?? It should cost like four mana!"
...I missed the words "without paying their mana cost."
Ahh Narset, at least there aren't extra combat effects in there too.
Yeahhhh Narset is usually an instant concede for me lol

Not surprised that they just refer to it as Brawl now. It's a fun format. Great stand in for Commander. NOBODY plays Standard Brawl. For the LOLs I jumped into the Standard Brawl queue, and left after waiting for 25 minutes for a game. 😂
standard brawl just doesn't have enough cards to support a lot of strategies, so all you're left with is value piles
Standard brawl is fun and I never have to wait more than 1 minute
Could be a region issue, I never have to wait more than a few seconds for standard brawl, but it's nowhere near as fun as historic.
I have quit MTGA, but this deckbuild is tempting me to install the game again 😅
