brawl could be funny but ppl just scoop left right and center :( suggestion: keep on with standard , but deviating from the meta. Everyone wants to see salty malone playing wacky decks and losing to mono red going first :D
You should make more Hist brawl vídeos, but as extras, maybe 1 pra 2 times a week (Max).. CGB And Umotivo (Brazilian mtg Channel) startes brawl with few views. It gets some time to make It work properly.. also you could/should make your viewers vote for what commander they would like to see in H.brawl. I realy like this kind of vídeos, And i Just get tô know you were doing It today. I'll start to see It more, like to suporte this kind of content!
Love to see you revisiting this deck archetype, Malone! It was the first alchemy deck to take me to mythic, and I still play a variation of that on Explorer sometimes
It must get tiring and boring for a creator to play the same format everyday and I could see the enjoyment you got from the brawl videos. Sorry it didn’t perform better. Please still do some every now and then 🎉
So sorry Brawl didn't work out Malone, I think it is just a sign that most people play standard and/or don't have the wildcards to make all those awesome decks (not to mention having to learn a whole bunch more cards)...it was definitely not your effort, which was cream of the crop my friend. This video is also superb I especially liked the moment at 28:49 or so where Teferi says "don't feel bad when you loose" was hilarious, though I'm sorry for your loss Malone! Thanks for your videos and brightening the day, hope you have a nice rest of your weekend! 🤘🤘🕶
Hey dude... listen to me,... im brazilian... and you have all my respect for what you have done..... THIS VIDEO, of you explaining the reality... man.... Very brave by your self and, all the respect man...... DO what you do and is very good for yourself and every one..... be happy friend.
I really appreciate you be so honest with all of us. It takes a different kind of person to take the time to go the extra mile and explain why things are the way they are. I love historic brawl and even 1 video of historic brawl each week is enough for me. I hope you channel continues to grow in popularity. I am curious though, are there any videos where you're dueling other mtg arena content creators? I think that could also be pretty cool. Anyways, I hope you have a great day. Remember to take care of yourself!
how can anybody not like you? the energy you bring is top notch and the jokes keep everyone on the edge of their seats just waiting for the next crack to happen. you are one of the best mtga creators and most entertaining
Keep the Historic Brawls coming bro! I love watching brawls! Don't let the views discourage you brother. I'd like the idea of having brawl Saturdays or Sundays!
All your videos get watched by me. Multiple times. I can't say that I'm AWAKE while they are playing lol. But I def play them through to the end. I find your voice drowns out the sound of the interstate really well while I'm trying to sleep in my semi truck at a rest area off the highway in random town America.
Wish you received better views on the Brawl videos 😢 honestly Idc what you put out lol I'd watch a video of you eating lemons of different ripeness. " And that is the fruit of the day.. the lemons" seriously though your definitely my favorite content creator for arena. Keep up the great work my friend!!
On a second though I wud love videos on pauper, so to speak, HB, showcasing solid decks that can be build without burning dozens of rare and mythic wc.
I just got into magic within the last year, so I know all of standard, but nothing outside of it. I think once standard rotates out and I know some more cards I’ll be more interested. I do like the idea of it. Ever thought of trying draft videos? Could also be cool to watch or try out. Keep up the great content.
Malone always with the drip. Thanks for sharing your intentions with the channel. Look at all these comments Malone, we love you and will always support you. And as always, what a great and unique deck.
Your decision to focus on Standard is understandable, though I will continue to watch your videos whatever you decide. Besides, if someone really wanted to watch Brawl videos, then there are plenty of other creators out there doing it. Do what you love and what makes sense 😉
Love your work! Maybe try tossing in a random game or two at the end of your standard videos with other formats to ease your viewers into them. Even better if its a modified version of your standard deck that works even better in that format.
Hey, Maloney. Thanks for sharing your stats. I can see my channel is not the only one struggling lately. Obviously, I'm nowhere near your level, but viewership is definitely struggling with the stagnant standard. And don't worry, most people will understand that you gotta make money. Do what you need to do.
Historic Brawl would be better without Alchemy. I"m also just not a fan of the LoTR set so I don't watch content that covers it. They need to release more playable formats like Commander (no alchemy) and my personal favorite, Pauper (standard, alchemy, historic, etc.)
Man, sorry dude, I likely have done this to a few creators... I never get into brawl... And don't like commander all that much. I get bad enough luck with 4 ofs in my deck... Going to 100 cards with nothing but 1 ofs just seems like my luck will be worse, even with having 1 card I can get out all the time. I've had no luck creating one, and can't bring myself to spend the wildcards to build someone elses...
I think standard is so popular because we can watch videos and get ideas and inspires building a deck around something we seen, at least that's the reason I watch vids, love yours bro very entertaining
Its a pity that people dont like historic brawl. I can read a lot of comments of people saying that for new players it difficult to have the cards, but I think its worst in standard. In brawl you only need 1 copy of any card, whereas in standard you need 4. Son people, believe me that the cheapest and more balanced format is Historic Brawl. Anyway, keep it up Malone, apretiate your work. Saludos desde España
It’s a massive shame the views aren’t there for Brawl I love it it’s great fun. You definitely need to do what’s best for the channel though and I’m here for whatever you put out (unless it’s maybe Alchemy that’s really not for me)
I love historic brawl and I think even more than the cool decks people like to watch you cuz you have an awesome personality. I would totally watch HB but cool with the standard too thanks for being creative!
you cant have any chance to win as a free to pay player, be interesting to know the win rate of people who spend over $300 vs just those that just get the pass. If there was a deck that used no mythics and less the 5 rears and would have win rate over 50% Wizards would shut it down immediately
I may not be interested in historic brawl (it was worth a try) but you are my favorite content creator on RU-vid. I had watched CGB in the past and he is okay, but you are a lot more fun. A day without Malone is a day without sunshine.
I love your channel man and cos of that I will be frank. For newer players it is almost impossible to get to play historic, too many resources needed. There's a certain feeling like, look them the cool guys playing their cool format that I can even touch a ten feet pole, screw em and their fancy cards. Maybe it is just me. Hope my feedback helps.
It is absolutly possible to play historic for a new player, what are you talking about. Your "feeling" is completly unfounded and seems very bitter for no reason. Just like any format, some decks are very budget friendly. You have the same thing in standard. Want to play a fancy 4 color deck ? Yeah well you'll have a hard time. Historic brawl has power level so a beguinner deck will be matched most of the times with relatively similar power level decks. There is also a LOT of very good common uncommon in all expensions, and you have access to all so contrary to standard where you need to jam all the best cards available in your shallow pool of cards, you can absolutly make a good deck without having to use a tons of rares mythics. And because you can only have 1 of each card, even a bomb is a lot less impactful. You can play a dozen of game and never see X or Y card, meaning you're a lot less punished for not having every single best card possible. You also have access to strong monocolored commanders making it much easier on the mana base. Something that can't be said in standard. Same for explorer, got a deck with literally 0 rare that is sitting at 63% winrate with over 400 games. Deeper card pool doesn't mean more expensive if you can use more than 2 or 3 neurones.
@@marioalcantara7156 No, definitly not just you thinking that sadly. It's a preconceived and unfounded feeling that is shared by a lot of people who have never tried it. But as you can see from the reason I listed on my original message, it just isn't true. There is also additional factors that make historic a lot budget friendlier, for instance the fact that because you use only one of each card, you can build on and improve your deck permanently, doesn't feel like a massive chore. In standard if you're missing a set of X or Y card, you know it's going to take quite some time before you get those. And while the larger card pool of historic might allow someone to replace a card by a weaker but still decent alternative, it is rarely the case in standard. Or the simple "life duration" of each of the wildcard you use. Standard being what it is, you know eventually your cards that you struggled to craft will rotate out of the format, and because of that you have to repeat the deck building from scratch. Never have this issue in historic. And the rotation thing in standard is actually worse than it might seem on paper, because you don't even need ALL the cards in a deck to rotate out before the deck becomes unplayable. A lot of deck will rely on specific cards from each extensions to work, and as some of them rotate, more often than not, the deck is not playable anymore, as you can't just replace the cards that were gone by new cards and call it a day. ICRs and midweek magic rewards feel also a lot better when you're a new player, because each reward is directly something that can be added to your deck (given its in your color). For instance let's say you get a Fable of the mirror breaker, you're happy, and slap it into your historic deck. Now let's say instead you play standard, well it's great to have one fable. But really you want/need 4 so while the reward in itself is the same, the application is very different. (Now I know Fable has been banned but it's a card that was so prevalent that I hope you see my point). Regardless of if you give historic a try or not, it's up to you and everyone should play what they like more. Maybe it's not for you, but there's just no reason to hate others that like it.
I feel your pain with the floods. I drew 8 lands in a row, even with draw spells. The person who coded the shuffler is either a noob or doesn’t give two shits about the game.
Hi, hope you read this. As a f2p player i find really hard to make other formats decks since i play standard and i belive for other its the same issue. That's maybe why the numbers are like that. Also, its a complete different animal with all the crazy stuff that happend there. Love from brazil :D
I'm also a f2p player, and brawl and historic brawl are the formats that are the cheapest and easiest to play. You only need 1 copy of any card, but in standard you need most of the time 4 copies of rares or mythics.
Durch die Vielzahl an Karten muss man in Historic vielleicht deutlich mehr erklären bzw. hast du vielleicht Zuschauer, die etwas neuer sind in Magic und nicht seit 1000 Jahren spielen wie CGB - er spielt ja auch schon lange Commander mit seiner Crew auf YT. Ich z.B. schaue mir auch mal Historic oder Limited Videos an, aber der "Value" für mich selbst ist deutlich geringer, da ich am liebsten Standard spiele. Vielleicht hilft dir dieser Einblick für die Zukunft - du machst einen großartigen Job und das hoffentlich noch ganz lange 😎👌 Das Curse-Deck ist ziemlich gut. Würde es gern sehen, wenn du Proliferate mit einbaust. :) PS: Maloniac
You should play whatever You want Maloney. If you want yo play Historic Brawl, Standard, Alchemy or pauper just do it. Of course you are not CGB but You are MTG Malone so you have your unique vision, mindset and fun experience which I think is unvaluable and should not be compared with others. I'm having fun watching You having fun and that's what matters at the end of the day. Thanks four your unique content and humor sense 🎉
lol, I was plugging your chan on the Prof's live stream giveaway last night on a god awful app/site that I won't mention here cause it was horrible and broken, not sure if any of my chats went through because of how broken the site was but some of the 14k people may have seen it lol, trying to help get you to the 24k :P
nah historic is lame, it's always the same formula, take thing that was never meant to work with other thing from 6 years ago, and make other people cry with busted combos. Cards rotate out on purpose to prevent his so standard is where it's at. We like watching you crush people with new shit. But appreciate you trying my man.
We will still love you no matter which format you dabble in from day to day. I dont play historic, but i do occasionally watch videos from it to learn some different cards and play tactics, and to break up monotonous lulls in standard. That said, i will always watch a new standard video, but i will only occasionally watch a historic video. Now let me explain why: I've been on MTGA for about a year, i started right when standard last rotated. Originally i played alchemy, but quickly discovered that building a card collection is expensive if spend money, and very slow if you dont. Standard quickly became my home format as realized an important fact: Standard cards are legal in standard, alchemy, and historic (i believe). However, alchemy cards are not legal in standard. Historic cards are also not legal in standard. So as player with limited funds to burn on a trading card game, and not having years of collected cards to work with, standard actually requires the fewest number of cards collected to still be competitive. And with that, wildcards go further bc i am pulling from the smallest list of legal cards in a format. As these sets release and rotate, i slowly build towards historic play. But having to only focus on the smallest card list in any format, each card, each wildcard holds more weight than it otherwise would. Now if i could through $100 at the game each month I'd likely dabble in more limited, and alchemy events and eventually historic. But I'm a widowed father of 2, working 80+hr weeks and dont qualify for government assistance of any kind, so money is super tight. A good month (or my bday or something) I'll splurge and throw $20 in on a gem pack and play some quick drafts of the new set and try to up my collection that way. Point is it sure feels like (at least to me) that the historic community is aptly named, bc they are the ppl that have been playing for much longer than most of us, and have amassed enough of a library to be competitive there. When i tried historic, i literally took 1 turn and got killed by the opponents turn 2 infinite loop. Thats not fun. At least in standard i can make diamond or platinum without really dedicating all my free time to it, mythic if i have the extra time to put in (not likely tho). The whole point is that standard is the cheapest format to stay competitive in bc requires the lowest amount of cards collected and time invested. When i switched from alchemy to strictly standard my win rate shot up and the amount of cards i needed to craft and grind cut in half. And I'm confident the majority of players who have been in Arena less than a year will agree with me here. Gold packs where such a good thing for us too, glad they did that much for us at least. I burned a large pile of wildcards just building a solid mana base for future decks. Felt like forever before it paid off, but it did. Ok, enough with the yammering, thank you Malone (& Evil Malone) for all your amazing content, your energy and humor and for fruits of the day lol. We do appreciate all your efforts and the awesome community that this channel has grown over time. Watching your evolution from the early days to the present has been a wonderful experience. Dont ever change, and we'll see you tomorrow!
Honesty it's the fruit of the day that keeps me here 😂.... Also really happy to be back in standard, I'm not a huge fan of brawl, wish they'd find a way to incorporate proper commander though
In my defense, I did watch ur latest HB vid but not others. I just had to watch it cuz ur personality. But I only play standard and don't understand HB or Alchemy. But I think u could get those in over time. As people get into ur channel.
Very nice build, I'd like to see some Alchemy decks with the new LOTR set, if possible. But as usual, fun and entertaining content. Beware of curse of the... Matches Malone.
