I've now seen Pact of Negation used to counter Striped Bears.
My friend has an Ayula commander deck that is actually scary for casual. I can confirm I have seen someone counter a werebear of all things. 😂
wait
I believe we can all die knowing we have seen everything.
The pirate opponent that conceded after you played young bear of all things must have been INSANELY tilted
Yeah it was like Seth cast a single 2 mana 2/2 snap concede I was like 😮
Could you explain that to me? Did they concede because they knew all they had were 2/2 max critters or some such?
THat just seemed odd to toss the game that early.
@@AC3handle Idek. That was extremely preemptive
@@AC3handle I looked back at this situation and while I still think the opponent scooped too early, it looks like it was due to frustration from not finding Red Mana. They drew an additional 4 cards from the enchanted Saboteur and a few from turns and still found no red. They discarded two creatures with red in their costs in the process. And while we don't know what 3 cards remained in their hand, if we assume they had red in their costs, the opponent was probably correct in that this game is over, especially if they don't find a red source on that immediate next turn. Can't play Commander, 3 dead cards in hand, losing board presence and ability to defend as the opponent is developing, and having to attack in order to attempt to find Red with extra draws after whiffing 4 times in a row. I'd probably be pretty salty too if that happened to me but hey, that's one of the challenges of a 3-color deck. 🤷♂️
@@westonmiller6260 Yo that's actually very good analysis :)
Love how you played heralds horn calling beast rather than bear and opponent still blew it up instantly
Craterhoof exists. The fear is real.
Ayula not only is cheap manawise, she also:
- Turns every creature into removal (basically card advantage/tempo)
- Turns cheap creatures into valuable ETB effects by pumping +1/+1 counters
- Most bears are low CMC, making decks aggro.
- In EDH there are support cards that turn extra lands into bears.
Ayula is pretty busted. The only thing holding it back is that Bears aren't that strong of a tribe.
@@MTGGoldfish Yeah something like Drannith Magistrate, or Nevermore naming Ayula, would softlock the deck out instantly.
@@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai nothing a little naturalize or fightspell can't solve.
@@Kydrou I don’t think Nevermore would actually be a problem, but I don’t know, Drannith is a 1/3 and Ayula runs a very high volume of 2/2s. Not that it would be impossible to deal with, but it’d be a lot harder than an enchantment.
PLEASE, MORE HISTORIC BRAWL CONTENT!
It's a little disappointing that Ashcoat Bear isn't legal in Historic, because a Grizzly Bear with Flash is hilarious with Ayula. There are actually a surprising number of decent common/uncommon bears that aren't in Historic - I think my favorite is Druid's Familiar, simply because a 4/4 bear for 3G that gives another one of your creatures +2/+2 on ETB (Soulbond, baby!) is pretty much what Ayula wants.
Here I thought Tomer was the budget commander, but with this and Gix, Seth might be coming for the title
I thought Tomer was the Dr of anime 😂
Seth is actually one of the few people doing “budget” arena content.
I’m shocked the Seth fans didn’t revolt over an Alchemy card in this deck, though.
@@brushwagg7735 Historic Brawl is the one place I don't mind seeing and playing with Alchemy cards since it's a casual format full of jank.
The Baulder's Gate cards really annoy me. Wilson is a real card, Wizards just put the wrong version on Arena. Hard to leave it out though, just because its a bear.
@@MTGGoldfish Am I the only one that really loves the Specialize mechanic? Basically just 6-sided cards, which isn’t impossible in paper but obviously works better in digital (like shuffling)
I can just imagine Mondrak starting a ritual to become an invincible god, chanting ominous hymns to the glory of New Phyrexia as dark orchestral music swells in the background, only to get dropkicked by some random bear, dying instantly
This was so much fun to watch! Definitely need more Historic Brawl content. Zada is coming out in March of the Machine as a Multiverse legend. It would be perfect for budget brawl.
I'm sad the pirate deck scooped so early, pirates vs. bears sound like a lot of fun.
Idk if it's the bears or historic brawl that brings out this much joy from you but I think we need more of both 😂❤
You never really finished the story, but I remember that modern Ayula deck that was a hogaak slayer. It inspired me to build Ayula in edh right after. Love the bears and a non-budget version would be lots of fun!
I think the point is that Ayula in arena is always budgetish because most cards you want in the deck are common and uncommon, that what he was saying is the best way to build a budget deck, pick a commander who wants the budget cards
@@pedrof6767lol no. The point is that Ayula is deceptively strong, even though it seems like jank. He was starting to say how when hogaak was in modern (super busted and banned months after release) Ayula was the centerpiece of a deck he made that completely hosed the strongest deck in modern at that time.
@@ironman12348 your statement doesn't contradicts mine, idk why you phrase like that, kinda dumb tbh
The first draft I went to had a running joke about Stuffed Bear. Its always been in my heart since
card is busted... dodges sorcery speed removal
Once March of the Machines comes out, you'll get "Surrak and Goreclaw" which will be a nice end curve topper that's considered a bear!
I wish the other bear was feasible to play, but it's an 8/8 for 8 with hexproof which feels enticing lol
Bear Force One!
I love the Historic Brawl content! Would definitely like to see some more!
All this removal, I can bearly handle it! Ayula top tier control deck tbh.
Ayula is nuts! Historic Brawl seems to be the right home for her to really shine. That last game was kinda ridiculous. Entertaining for sure. Your opponent had some nice sneaky plays. And there were so many triggers happening, I was kinda struggling to keep track of everything. I will definitely watch more Historic Brawl videos if you put em up!
I usually watch your modern decks but both the thumbnail and the tribe has me exited to check this one out
This deck is so sweet, I'm glad you made a video on it.
Glad you enjoy it!
I'd love to see more brawl videos
Don’t think i didn’t see all the pun bears, and all the bears in the art of the non bear cards.
Love bears! Hopefully they get more support in the future.
Yes! Love when you break out the Historic Brawl content
Amazing. Love this deck.
Finally some justice for bears. Im playing normal 60 cards bears for while with ayula influence and groundskeepers and its one of the most funny deck i have. Thank you for this video
Love seeing some Historic Brawl on the channel!!
Thanks!
The most fun commander deck ive seen! Great job ❤
Glad you enjoyed!
Love seeing Seth conquering historic brawl, i hope to see more in the future

Love the brawl content!
Another fun episode brother Set.
etb fight looks so fun!
Was playing this for a long time Syr Faren, the Hengehammer, becasue it was great at going very fast and everyone else wanted to durddle, before Ayula existed.
That was the greatest intro ever!
That was glorious. Now I need to know what movie (?) that is.
We use our Rares and Mytics for the BEAR necessities, lol.
*Thanks for the Content* !
That Teysa game has to be one of the best games of magic I've watched in a LOOOONG time.
Sometimes I think Seth's got distracted and won't finish a story, but he almost always comes back to it which I appreciate.
Don't be afraid to get way more involved with the land base, especially in mono colored decks! You can easily run 8-10 colorless lands for added utility. Field of Ruin, Demolition Field, Hashep Oasis, even the colorless scry lands are all solid picks at common/uncommon.
Also, I like Wilt over Return to Nature, or better yet You Line Up the Shot.
Neither of those removes a card from a graveyard, which can be pivotal in this format. Also, You Line Up the Shot involves extra, disruptable steps.
Finally! My one Owlbear on arena has a deck!
One of my favorite historic brawl decks is brigi storm because you either gain a massive board with very fringe cards like change of fortune and Mishra's command, or you get run over or controlled out. It's awesome
That sounds super fun!
A very BEARY nice deck!
Tribute to the World Tree seems like a natural fit. The other easy upgrades would be for the mana base, Nykthos, Castle Garrenbrig, Lair of the Hydra, etc.
So fun!!! Play that hot new Door to Nothingness deck next!!!
Older video but just for the record, the opponent in game 1 could cast Flaxen Intruder because of the way adventures work. Even though it's your card in exile, being able to cast it from exile is tied to the adventure spell itself, so whoever resolved the adventure gets to cast the creature.
Intro had me rolling. 😂
Finally a deck with the aura of my bear spirit can shine about!
I imagine the puppy was very confused while Seth was playing this deck. Poor Bear.
babe wake up, Seth posted a Brawl video
I have a bear deck, and I love it. Ours looks very similar. Play more brawl.
Now remember kids, it's not cocaine bear. It's halo bear and clearly halo is in no way a drug.
"automation"... love it
Lurrus is also a pretty strong commander that can be built on budget
looks like a fun deck
Yes! I am ready for some bears
To answer ur question, nissa is not a problem for the format. That yarok deck was a beginner creating yarok and again seemed budget and honestly, u haven’t seen any really strong decks among these like cruxias, atraxa, and rusko. Nissa might be the best mono green deck, but the top tier decks all have a crazy amount of interaction and green is the weakest color rn by far somehow.
Just getting by with the bear necessities
I'm glad Seth is running Wilson. It's a perfect card for this deck, even if it an Alchemy card.
Giving Nicky B the Dragon G a bear beat down is the medicine I need on a gloomy Monday.
I have a gargos hydra tribal deck that works similar. Fights everything down and smashes in. But ayula is way faster by the looks of it.
Ayula bears is cool....but have you tried making a $35 Iwamori mono green fight deck? I have and that deck is FUN.
Love the budget Historic Brawl decks. Have you played with this one more and found issues with the power level of the decks you're paired against? I've been playing it and I keep getting paired with some pretty busted commanders.
Historic brawl is just a removal check format so the scoops when every card in your hand is also a fight spell seem pretty reasonable to me
I had a dog named Bear when i was younger too
fun video! the match at the end there was really good!
Nice deck! Good to not see the hell queue.
Hey Seth I was thinking of making that bridgevine deck that you made and I know bridge from below is banned in modern but I want WOTC to unban bridge from below because it's safe to unban today but I want to replace bridge from below with magus of the bridge and do you think that it will be good in the deck and today's standards for modern?
lol that Grizzly Bear art. What'd that tree ever do to you bud?? :)
Surrak and Goreclaw would work in here too. But definitely for the 99 rather than the commander slot.
Had a game either yesterday or the day before using my Nissa to ult twice in one turn because I allowed a single point of damage on her. She's busted, as long as you are fast enough to pop off.
Now I know what you’re thinking: “Tofski isn’t a bear!”
Have you considered it’s a *bear*er of secrets?
This deck is like playing a deck with 40 Shreikmaws in it
Ha, yeah, that's a good way to think of it.
The last game was ultraviolent.
"Were running out of bears" wasn't a sentence I thought I'd hear today
Repping the modest mouse I see!! Love modest mouse!
Cool deck! Unfortunately it doesn’t work for paper magic
Flashback to when loading ready run was on game knights, and won with his bear force one ayula commander deck 😂
Ayula is pretty underrated.
@@MTGGoldfish I have a ayula brawl deck, and no one sees it coming through
How did you miss savage swipe for this deck? The artwork alone would be an auto include for me!
28:02, Question. What kind of bear is best?
False. Beast.
Have you not seen Prophecy? Movie aged so well and I'm almost positive it's where the manbearpig south park joke originated from.
Love it.
So this is why i got beat up by bears before i left for work
Did you cut out the half of the matches where you played against Atraxa? Or is that just me?
Well I play with bears in commander all the time but I like to swap up
If Ruxa was legal in brawl that commander would also be one of the best budget decks, and would be an amazing addition to Ayula
I love the person who played Krenko and then satly scooped, like that card can't also be busted lol
Nice intro ( :
Did my comment asking about the weird Wilson card get removed for some reason? What is that Wilson, that can't be found on Gatherer's search engine?
Turns out a deck full of two mana ravenous chupecabras is pretty good.
"Seth, proooooooobably better known as Saffron "Cocaine Bear" Olive"
Btw maskwood nexus is another good card for a tribal deck because it’s essentially is a birthing boughs 2.0
Yeah, I left it out because it's a mythic for budget purposes, but it is a great upgrade for sure. Making Bears at instant speed is super powerful with Ayula.
Ok,ok, bears and snow florests. Take my like
Good thing the Herald's Horn on BEAST was immediately destroyed so you never had to deal with the mistake.
I keep forgetting brawl is a format 😭this looks so fun
Been playing Ayula as a kind of test drive for Commander. Love the deck so much.
Gotta remove those cards that turn into bears though. They're a trap.
Tribute to the world tree would be insane in bears ngl
Yeah, it's perfect for the deck.
i loved the part when he played a bear truly a wonderful play
Another good budget historic brawl deck: Kinnan auras
faceless agent is really good in this deck
