Pirates will look at a deck like this and go "Hell yeah" 😎 This deck is so very cool!!!! Cant wait to play Brass in paper soon! You're the best man!!! 😊
Vs the Malcolm deck, if they had just a little more life they could have proliferated kiora bests the sea god and tapped all your stuff. Crazy game, good content 👌
At 34:28 and 44:20 you can choose the second mode with Breeches, targetting one of your creatures, so you don't have to exile a card that you know you won't be able to play ;) However, great job as always !
Man, I don't know if it's a creator's curse, but seeing so many people explode after losing a single creature makes me sad. I rarely run into early scoopers myself, but I'm the type to play a match out to the very end. I love seeing other people's decks go off, and obviously love it when I get to go off. Historic Brawl queue is full of people with no patience for losing lmao. Hoping we get something more casual and closer to Commander one day. (I suppose the exception would be if you're down on health and see the writing on the wall... and shame concedes. We all have our days)
37:03 Oh, a glimpse from the time of the first videos of your's I started watching. When any blue-green deck had the same explore package crammed into it.
Im annoyed they didn't put Hakbal on area, instead they put the alternate commander Xolatoyac. They put the face commander of all the other decks, but not the merfolk one. 😢
Same, I remember facing a Pantlaza and thinking that that must mean Hakbal is here too, so I immediately went into the deck builder, nope, no hakbal :(
@soybomb777 No, the problem was with how explore is coded in arena. As it is, explore only works as a one creature at a time thing. Hakbals effect happens all at once and apparently arena just couldn't handle multiple creatures exploring at the same time. Maybe one day they'll fix the spaghetti code, but they don't usually put commander products on arena anyways.
I added the alchemy card that’s a R and if you sued mana from a treasure you get to seek a pirate. It’s pretty fun. I also love the pirate dinosaur 🦖 as a friend for Ragavan. Outside of those 2 cards I didn’t find an alchemy card I liked for the deck. This deck has been sooo much fun.
So I've seen many players do this and I don't understand the logic. Why would you hold a land instead of playing it out as soon as you can? There's no discard mechanics happening, the only downside would be losing the ability to bluff an interaction spell. However, I don't see the exact benefit, the opponent is going to counter regardless of your supposed interaction (if they don't then you'd still have it for next time) and the land might grant extra mana to pay for stuff like make disappear, etc. Anyone able to explain this for me please? Thanks.
In a game of imperfect information the default should be to hide as much information as possible. Same reason why it’s often better to cast things second main phase. The more things the opponent has to take into consideration the more likely they are to make an incorrect decision.
Probably not. Treasure synergy really isn’t what the deck is looking for. If you were to add a revel in riches, you would need more treasure makers to really take advantage of it. The decks more about pirates, not treasures.
I like that the pirate you return gets a finality counter, then when you return it again it gets a finality counter, and again, and again, and again... So Brass keeps saying "finality" but I don't think she knows what that word means.
Finality counters have their own rule saying that if a permanent with a finality counter on it would go to the graveyard it goes to exile instead, and Admiral Brass can only bring back creatures from the graveyard, not exile, so the finality counters are appropriately final in this case. (I mean, you could do shenanigans with removing the counter or bouncing the permanent to hand and then discarding it to be reanimated, but I digress.) Given that what you're describing doesn't happen in this video, I'm not sure what you mean. Maybe you played against this in paper and no one knew the rules? Finality counters do at least work properly on Arena.
