@@dyne313 played it today, won with throne of the god pharaoh, attack one player with 20 goblins and Ovika, then dealt 20 to everyone at end step lol it was great
I tried building an Ovika Commander deck the moment it was released. I thought using Skirk Prospector and Phyrexian/Ashnods altar would be amazing for playing out your entire hand in one turn. Combining this with same X-cost spells makes for some brutal effects
@@dyne313 City on fire does look disgusting but so far every time I did go off, I'd have no problem dealing 40+ damage to all other players. Surge to Victory and Purphoros are the ultimate wincons. Looking at edhrec swapping parts of my deck out for a convoke package might make it even stronger but I'm already worried that it's gonna be too strong for my pod 😂
God Luca I just love you so much. I wished so much for an Ovika deck, but didn't bother commenting thinking you won't read it. I fucking loving you man!
I made my deck full on artifact ramp combo. Ramp into Ovika with mana rocks, then use those rocks and other artifacts to pump out huge armies of goblins to win in one huge turn. Very few instants and sorceries (only 3 with X in the casting cost, Blue Sun's Twilight, Silver Scrutiny and Electrodominance, which is quite powerful allowing you to almost "double up" on goblins). That combined with as many board pump effects (like Immortal Sun, Icon of Ancestry, Heraldic Banner, Adaptive Automaton, and the extremely potent City on Fire), along with a few artifact synergy pieces make for an easy kill in one big turn. It's very fun.
Definitely considered it, although it’s quite awkward with all the sweepers in the deck. Once you’ve got an Ovika in play and are actively making tokens you’re probably already winning anyway.
Cards that should be in every version of this deck. Strixhaven stadium (for an alternate win condition). Electrodominance (do almost double up on goblins by being able to cast two spells).
Awesome video as usual. Do you have any ideas for an updated Mutate deck, either in Brawl/Historic/Explorer, or are your older ones still relevant since there hasn't been any new Mutate cards for a long time? I was wondering if some of the new core cards would make mutate potentially stronger? Figured you would be the best person to come up with something new and cool if it could be better. Thanks!
@@dzello Alright, thanks for the replies everyone. So many unique things to try. I don't even mind losing more with a cooler/trippy deck. Just fun to mix stuff up besides playing draft & standard all the time.
The Alliance abilities of Devilish Valet and Witty Roastmaster can get really out of hand with this bad boy. Also, Ogre Battledriver would be great too.
was shark typhoon among the playables/cuts for this deck? i have a zaxara build that does a lot of similar noncreature shenanigans and it uses both shark typhoon and metallurgic summonings for a bit of redundancy and utility when i cant get zaxara to stick to the board
Nice going full control just to bluff having a spell. A lot of plays are made due to people casting a spell just to see if the game held priority for the opponent or not before casting their big spell afterward.
It’s crazy how many people just play out their entire hand for no reason then scoop to a single boardwipe. Like you’d think they’d learn to not do that.
I love how there are players who stick around to the very end of the match, even in the face of defeat. Then there are the players who, on smelling even the slightest whiff of defeat, become like... ruclips.net/video/mYuF3T7s7XY/видео.html . That's why I have so much respect for LegenVD. He stays around in most matches, even when the opponent needlessly drags out the win, just so they can enjoy their victory.
40:58 If you had cast for X=3 and they countered you would have dealt 2 more damage this combat and had lethal (your spell would make 3 more goblins and they would have one more shark)
"should be just enough for lethal" as opponent gets put to -27 was honestly really funny
Really enjoy watching your brawl videos
Soooo glad you made this!! I’ve been playing with it in edh as mana rock tribal and it is so fun!
“Mana rock tribal” sure is an archetype
This is how I prefer to play this build as well.
@@dyne313 played it today, won with throne of the god pharaoh, attack one player with 20 goblins and Ovika, then dealt 20 to everyone at end step lol it was great
Brawl is where it's at! And Luca's decks are no exception. Awesome work as always man, you're the best!!!!
This big manta boi is easily my favourite commander from ONE! Was really hoping for you to make a deck 😁
A 7 mana commander without green is kinda cringe tbh, but the effect is cetainly flashy enough to at least somewhat justify it.
@@Icameron259 I don't get it. What's your point?

I use both, and City on Fire (has convoke). They're all amazing. And if you go full mana rock tribal, Paradox Engine comes into play too.

I’ve been waiting for this one
9:58 "That should be enough for lethal here" --> attacks, oppo ends at -27. 🤣
Thanks for this one great content as always. GG
You know what they say: math is for blockers! 😂
I think I've gotten 10 of these in Limited so far but not a single Wanderer. Thanks for the content man.
I'm almost positive it's rigged. I had the exact experience.
Lvd, you have got to make a Charix, the raging isle brawl deck. Memes for the win!
yea, i was thinking of building Ovika as Mana rock tribal. this convinced me to go ahead with that idea lol
God Luca I just love you so much. I wished so much for an Ovika deck, but didn't bother commenting thinking you won't read it. I fucking loving you man!
Finally, my new favorite commander gets blessed by the man himself

It's very fun.
Also Magma Opus, which both fits with the artifact ramp plan, or as a huge 12 (or more) for one late game.
skirk prospector with crackle with power is a insane combo, skirk prospector is overall insane in this deck
Definitely considered it, although it’s quite awkward with all the sweepers in the deck. Once you’ve got an Ovika in play and are actively making tokens you’re probably already winning anyway.
Brawl for life ❤
I was waiting for some Ovika deck ❤
"That should be enough for lethal here."
Opponent goes to -27 ^^
Loves brawl gameplay 😊
Cards that should be in every version of this deck.
Strixhaven stadium (for an alternate win condition).
Electrodominance (do almost double up on goblins by being able to cast two spells).
Bro you lose games with such grace and honor, I love it!

Thanks!
That U/G fairy commander is pretty sick along side mutate.
Mutate is extremely bad so it's hard to make it relevant at all. Recent cards don't have much synergy with it, sadly.
Ivy was the latest Brawl deck with Mutate, but as you said there haven't been any recent additions.
@@LegenVD Ok cool, still gonna try that stuff out for several games. Thanks!

Hasty goblins definitely provide a lot of value! xD
I love this card since it came out. Did t even watch the whole video yet. Just gonna copy the deck and see what happens
Holy Mana Rocks Batman!
First game = Chef's Kiss
I’ll try this commander with sorcerer class for some bombastic turns out of nowhere
Congratulations on that last game! I would've tilted hard
Do you write out your intros for the deck? There always so well put together. Like I don't notice any cuts.
There's usually a few cuts, but try my best to hide them!
was shark typhoon among the playables/cuts for this deck? i have a zaxara build that does a lot of similar noncreature shenanigans and it uses both shark typhoon and metallurgic summonings for a bit of redundancy and utility when i cant get zaxara to stick to the board
It’s certainly an option. Although hardcast Shark Typhoon is rarely the correct play unfortunately.
Wow I was just thinking about making a brawl-deck with Ovika. As if LVD read my mind... Luckily hes much better at deck-building than me.
Would love a quick sidenote with alchemy cards that would fit the deck in these brawl videos
That we require a deeper knowledge of Alchemy which I don't really have 😅
@@LegenVD that's a fair point 😁
HELLO, good video! 💎💪🏽😉
Think about trying Kindred Discovery or Coastal Piracy? Insane card draw with Ovika
I hope I can get this much variety of matchmaking. I am stuck of getting matched with Atraxa after Atraxa.
Nice going full control just to bluff having a spell. A lot of plays are made due to people casting a spell just to see if the game held priority for the opponent or not before casting their big spell afterward.
Wanted to play this on paper with Impact Tremors and Purphoros, god of the forge. Maybe this can give me some ideas on what to add 😊
Flashback for 7 does not change the cmc of a card if it says 4 right?
Correct! Deluge would make 4 tokens, may have misspoken in the video.
I play her with the Temur Skullbomb deck
do you think the blue leyline would be good in here? allows all cards to be played at instant speed! seems good, or is it too slow?
Sounds fun, but probably not optimal.
"Should be enough for lethal"
Proceeds to deal 53 damage xD
It’s crazy how many people just play out their entire hand for no reason then scoop to a single boardwipe. Like you’d think they’d learn to not do that.
So excited to build this in paper. So you’re saying ditch the goblin anthems?
I prefer cards like Immortal Sun, Banner and Castle.
They still pump your goblins but they do lots of other stuff too.
Man, rivers rebuke is too op in this deck 😂
Are there any updates to the list with the new sets ?
For some reason I expected Tyvar to sound scottish.
Historic is really agressive
Did I miss Mechanized Warfare or is it not in there?
Not in there. Warfare suits aggressive decks better.
I love how there are players who stick around to the very end of the match, even in the face of defeat. Then there are the players who, on smelling even the slightest whiff of defeat, become like... ruclips.net/video/mYuF3T7s7XY/видео.html . That's why I have so much respect for LegenVD.

40:58 If you had cast for X=3 and they countered you would have dealt 2 more damage this combat and had lethal (your spell would make 3 more goblins and they would have one more shark)
🥴
The format would be so much more fun without rivers rebuke....
I crafted this deck and it's the biggest piece of shit i've ever had the unfortune of playing
this deck does not provide a lot of value
🤔
@@LegenVD He's in salty mode
@@LegenVD haha just kidding you Luca! thanks a lot for your brawl content!
