This is actually my big gripe with the format. Being un-fun to play against is a win condition. But once you play through they and don't have solid paths to winning, they concede. In the end you don't even get the satisfaction of seeing your deck win.

I really like the idea of Flubs, but the most effective way to play him being a landfall mega-value deck is so disappointing. Green ruining things, like usual.
Well, would you look at that. I fell in love with Flubs when it got first teased, and yesterday I was looking at possible ideas for it... And color me surprised, today LVD comes to give me even more suggestions!
I find this deck very similar to Loot. Which I played and found it very fun. But I had to add River rebuke and Cyclonic Rift for those endless matches where both players go off. I guess it will be similar to this one.
This is a really interesting contrast to the version CGB made, which was much more focused on getting to a turbo flubs turn - would NOT have run cards like tatyova and phial of galadrial.
Phial, Tatyova, and even Song of Creation are nombos for Flubs. You do not want to be drawing cards with anything but Flubs if at all possible. Keep that hand at 1.
@@dinklebob1 Yeah obviously they don't work well with the commander in play - but if your deck ONLY works with the commander, it tends to be very brittle. As we saw in the first game, this build can very much win games using classic landfall nonsense no flubs required - and the removal and counterspell resources needed to prevent that are the same ones you would use to prevent flubs going to the moon.
I agree with Phial and Tatyova but song of creation is important because it makes you discard your hand at end of turn. Normally if you would end a turn with 1 card in hand, your next draw step will leave you with 2 cards in hand, which stops you from going off. If you stack the triggers right you also get to see a lot more of your deck.
@@sambarney8244 Ah that's true. But doesn't that just mean you have one big pop then a flurry of discards? I suppose it's like banking all those discards you were going to make anyway.
@@dinklebob1 If you order the triggers with song of creation first, you essentially turn flubs 'draw 1' into 'surveil 2 then draw 1.' If your order the triggers with flubs first, you draw 3, then on each subsequent cast you draw 2 discard 1 - meaning you have 3 cards in hand to choose from for each cast instead of 1. Both options significantly increase your control of the combo and the speed at which you can draw through your deck. Also, notice that song of creation WITHOUT flubs is basically just a better flubs - no need to worry about emptying your hand, and since the number of spells in your deck is more than the number of lands, you'll draw more cards in most cases.
Notification squad. FLUBS IS CRAZY. One of my fav brawl decks. LVD I think if you want to crank this deck up a little you’d be better served by taking out cards like faithless looting, crucible/conduit of worlds, six and uro leaning more into foretell/adventure cards and also more zero mana value cards.
@@theaeskey2502 Not the first time you post something (making a Flub out of yourself) requiring LVD to comment. At this point, not sure why he bothers to correct your constant annoyances.

I think phial of galadriel is kind of a nombo with flub.Imagine u cast play your last card then draw 2 .If u play one of them, u must discard the other one and now u have nothing to continue.I guess it's fine in the landfall approach,but for comboing it is pretty bad
It can be awkward at times, but we still get to cast the best of our two cards. We're also likely to have additional cards in exile or lands in graveyard we can still play to keep the cards flowing afterwards.
As a new player, I'm not sure if this deck is strong or it just wears out the opponent so they concede because they're tired of waiting 5-10 min per turn 🤣🤣
I loved this one. I have been scared of using flubs because I don't understand temur and hate losing cards, but this was fun to watch. Too bad your opponents are all sore losers.
Tatyova is probably worth it, but I always ran into the awkward situation where I would draw a card from tatyova, then not having an empty hand and having to discard. Not a problem if you stack your triggers manually but that's such a pain.
There will be times when you end up with too many cards in hand, but if land is your only card then you can indeed reorder the triggers to use Flubs first (you're now empty handed) and draw with Tatyova afterwards.
Don't think it quite fits. A sweeper is good later in the game once the board is more established. If we want to enable Flubs with it, we would have to cast it early. We could play more 0-mana cards if we want to enable Flubs sooner, but that makes the deck rely on it more than needed. There are enough high quality cards that still synergize well with our plan.
Since every player abandoned the game It seems to me that the real wincons in this deck are boreness :) and scute swarm (sometimes), or bill. But apart the last two example don't you think the deck lacks a stronger wincon?
Isn't phial of galadriel a nombo with flubs? If you have flubs and phial on board you play your last card, draw two cards instead of one. Now you play one of those cards and have to discard the other, leaving your hand empty with nothing to play
I mean, a lot of people play Brawl just to have fun. And I can see how watching your opponent doing a prolongued landfall turn can get boring really fast, even if it is winnable.

Love the title, always makes me happy to see that kind of subtle humor.
I would have slightly preferred "he croacked" but it's still funny nonetheless
@jk6971 "The man was silent, and so there was debate on whether he was a fool. Then he spoke, and thus removed all doubt."
Ah yes, the classic counter every spell, nothing left in hand, do nothing, and concede. Love those big brain control players.
This is actually my big gripe with the format. Being un-fun to play against is a win condition. But once you play through they and don't have solid paths to winning, they concede. In the end you don't even get the satisfaction of seeing your deck win.
The title is better than the official flavor text
Dude, the mechanics on flubs are so perfect. It so perfectly matches the Tarot card. 10/10 design
Couldn't agree more!
"The moment Frog devoured the fruit of knowledge,
he sealed his fate... Entrusting his future to the cards,
Frog clings to a dim hope.
Yes, the arcana is the means by which all is revealed."
persona yooo
Now he have to go against convert go blue and win and the cycle completed
Nadu : Why didn't I make it in the deck ?
The 100 : cuz nobody wants to see you ever again :P
This frog is basically Song of Creation 😂
another LVD brawl vid, it's a good day
Truly!
Agreed
i couldn't have imagined a better title
This is a cool deck to see once but omg, I would hate for this to be too common. It is another solitaire deck in a multiplayer game.
Welcome to modern-day magic!
hard agree. I love going off but imagine playing this in a commander game and everyone just rolling their eyes when another one of your turns start

love that flavor text, "no im not lost!"
That Zareth San deck was just counterspells. Hoping you will quit before turn 5 😅
Lmao straight up cast 7 counterspell and scooped
Damn that reference...
*Yes, more brawl!!*
*Awesome! 👍🏼*
Someone Flub’d me the other day, it was brutal.
I like Flubs. He's Kermit, but if Kermit was a tarot card.
Of course the helga player is hitting the zzz emote
😂 The first opponent wasted a bounce spell so hard.
When you’re already behind you don’t have much of an option except to try to catch up

I'm pretty sure you even made a video about the cultivator collosus stickfingers combo lol, so I'd say you seen it once or twice

Flubs, the Fool is totally MTG's take on The Fool Tarot card.
Excellent title.
with the upcoming enchantment creatures and rooms from Duskmourn, i hope you will consider to build Zur brawl deck. thanks for the video
As a new player, I'm not sure if this deck is strong or it just wears out the opponent so they concede because they're tired of waiting 5-10 min per turn 🤣🤣
People complains about Nadu, but Flubs is way slower and more annoying tbh.

I loved this one. I have been scared of using flubs because I don't understand temur and hate losing cards, but this was fun to watch. Too bad your opponents are all sore losers.
game 8 is why Nahiri pushed Zareth San off a hedron in that Zendikar Rising trailer
Tatyova is probably worth it, but I always ran into the awkward situation where I would draw a card from tatyova, then not having an empty hand and having to discard. Not a problem if you stack your triggers manually but that's such a pain.
No right, that's why I don't actually, when flubs triggers first then tatyova, then you have 2 cards in hand which is awkward.
There will be times when you end up with too many cards in hand, but if land is your only card then you can indeed reorder the triggers to use Flubs first (you're now empty handed) and draw with Tatyova afterwards.
I cannot imagine playing this game IRl, how do people keep track of all these triggers?!
is this a nahiri's wrath deck? a great starter but a bad topdeck?
Don't think it quite fits. A sweeper is good later in the game once the board is more established. If we want to enable Flubs with it, we would have to cast it early. We could play more 0-mana cards if we want to enable Flubs sooner, but that makes the deck rely on it more than needed. There are enough high quality cards that still synergize well with our plan.

I think the brawl games are my favorite. Since I’m getting tired of seeing discard, tokens, and mono red in standard.
Since every player abandoned the game It seems to me that the real wincons in this deck are boreness :) and scute swarm (sometimes), or bill. But apart the last two example don't you think the deck lacks a stronger wincon?
You generally want to avoid expensive cards that might get stuck in hand, so that will naturally lead to more tedious win conditions.
What happened to today's video? seemed quite fine b4 it was taken down...
One of the later games got messed up.
So many people scooping WAY too early..
Isn't phial of galadriel a nombo with flubs? If you have flubs and phial on board you play your last card, draw two cards instead of one. Now you play one of those cards and have to discard the other, leaving your hand empty with nothing to play
There's a few other comments discussing it.
nice deck, I have just one complain with this deck, it is lacking win condition
Is Flubs the most powerful commander in Brawl? It seems that it cannot be beaten: 9-0
FLUBS
What is Flubs... baby don't hurt me...don't hurt me, no more
dun, dun, dundun da dun, dun, dundun da dun
_You've been powercreep rolled_
tried to import this deck.... 26 rare wildcards and 5 mythics needed to complete this deck..... sigh.....
All the scoops were such a buzzkill... "oh no, something interesting is going to happen, guess it's all over"
Phial is a bit awkward in this deck as it makes us discard our hand when is utilized
Still worth drawing two cards to cast the best one. We likely have some other card draw engine to play things from exile to keep going off.
The nerd bird is dead
long live the the pog frog
Man I feel like people scoop so quickly in brawl. Hard to find good games when no one’s willing to actually play one out
I mean, a lot of people play Brawl just to have fun. And I can see how watching your opponent doing a prolongued landfall turn can get boring really fast, even if it is winnable.

@@drejerm7856 I have heard about it. The situation seemed to be developing against the plan.
