That Jadzi game was priceless, lmao. Opponent going from 1 health back to 22 like "yeah I got this in the bag now" only to get knocked right back down to 2 from an insane Twilight Prophet hit out of nowhere.
Easy come, easy go 😂
Never underestimate the Twilight Prophet.
At 50:31 opponent has no choice since Obeka has both menace and is the ring bearer. Exploring to 4 power might have actually given them the option to chump but was a pretty losing proposition for the opponent either way. Looks like a fun decklist, that top deck against Jadzi was incredible
Good point, forgot the Menace + Ringbearer combo!
> sees Obeka, Splitter of seconds
> looks inside
> no Split Second
Sudden Edict
hahahahaha
You're splitting hairs!
At least he get to get seconds.
That match vs Jadzi was very entertaining to watch! A lot of back and forth and imo that is more interesting than to obliterate or getting obliterated
I loved the vibe of that Jadzi deck too
@@KevShaw808same. It was a solid deck. Loved that it got a chance to show off. Never really thought about how powerful and outside the box it could be.
that game against Jadzi was amazing. Both decks look super fun.
Looks super fun to do nothing but counterspell and removal the whole game and then die
I've been waiting to see this card played. Thank you so much for making this fun deck!
Yesss! I've been putting together a deck for her since spoilers!!! I'm SO excited to see how you built with her! So awesome, thanks so much Luca!!! 😊
really nice commander, they really cooked there, and you made it even better, as always
Legend always reliable in giving us cool decks for the weirdest commanders. Great video! Love the longer games with some more stuff going on.
I have been waiting for this for weeks!
I've been wainting for this one :D
Obeka reminds me so much of Brago. IMO that's a good thing. Really looking forwars to giving her a shot in paper.
I'm currently working on building a commander deck with obeka at the helm. She's one of my favorite characters in magic with how unique her abilities are. Can't wait to try the deck out when I'm finished.
Really cool deck!
And a super fun match against Jadzi.
So fun to watch the Jadzi player sit there and do nothing but stall the whole game
We're so-beka.
I just made a version of this last night! Going to use this as an example of some stuff to change
hell yeah, one of the cooler commanders ive seen recently
Nice deck!
47:49 is quite funny since LVD has a video about the card as center piece. and also one of my favorite deck he featured
reading the title it's like hearing football's commentator
I appreciate LVD's disdain for alchemy cards.
I love your deck & builds and your video format , can't wait till u do Kallen the kid😊
At the beginning of my plays in Historic Brawl I was angry about the players who scooped so early when they did not have a good starting hand or were a little behind. Now, after countless games in historic brawl, I am afraid I am becoming one of them. I do not scoop when I have a mediocre starting hand and such but I scoop immediately if I am too much behind or if I am facing a blue control heavy counter deck for instance. Yeah, this format is mostly messed up.
Man, screw linear time. All my homies hate linear time.
Dude I was looking forward to that video! : ) Made my own (so far not that successful) Obeka Deck yesterday and nobody on YT seemed to have done a brawl video about her. Curious about your take on Obeka!
This commander looked pretty cool but I didn't consider playing it until someone told me to put it on my shrines deck
One interesting upkeep card that I'd like to have seen here is the Alchemy exclusive enchantment Signature Spells.
It ETBs seeking 2 instant/sorcery spells with cmc 3 and on each upkeep, you choose one to copy and cast for free.
Prismari and Kolaghan's are already great options on their own, but we also have the very evil option of Stone Rain, or Maestros Charm to drain 3 on each upkeep.
Agreed
I understand avoiding Alchemy cards but some are too cool to pass up imo
I’m glad someone else thst follows him appreciates the more fun exciting alchemy options. The avoidance of digital only cards when everyone else uses them seems to be a disadvantage.
Free stone rains…. Hahahah speaks to my Ponza soul.
@@AkodoNoEyes Yeah, I sometimes see people hating on Alchemy content just for being digital and "not real cards." There are some outliers like Poq, but his digital-only nature is not what makes him annoying. Maybe it's because I've mostly played digital-only CCGs, but I do enjoy seeing what the designers come up with in this type of setting. Signature Spells and Oracle of the Alpha are really sweet examples, for me.
@@ender4101 exactly!!!! Arena is a digital game of a physical game and it makes sense to let the designers cook. The Rakdos wheel of fortune released recently, oracle of the alpha, key to the archive, signature spells, the various lands that let you pick a color, the legnedaries (thst Boros legendary thst spawns Boros creatures is an insanely fun commander), are all amazing cards in their own right.
Alchemy is good and a fun format but the cards for Brawl and Historic is where it’s at for me.
It’s an unique design space. It’s an exciting opportunity to make stuff thst wouldn’t otherwise exist.
People are allowed to play what they want, but to not play cards and hinder the experience and deck for principal is just banal.
Hi! I’d recommend adding a bank job to this deck for anyone reading. It gives you tons of treasures, card advantage and puts stuff you wouldn’t draw into graveyard to be cast for free later.
Amazing 3 drop in this deck
Definitely a powerful card if you don't mind Alchemy!
Just curious, but is there a reason you didn’t include any spells to make her unblockable?
I'm mostly counting on Menace and removal to clear a path. We do have Access Tunnel in the manabase, but adding too many unblockable effects makes it less likely that we actually have the upkeep payoffs or sufficient interaction to get in a good position to begin with.
@@LegenVD makes sense! Thanks!
I was going to make a meme Vial Smasher Sakashima Shrines EDH deck, and then boom, Obeka, then boom, LVD makes the deck
I gotta turn off updates on my brain chip
That match against Tameshi was really silly. They spent the whole game removing obeka and they still weren’t able to deal with the other permanents giving you value
Exciting, that you take a look at one of the most interesting cards in this set so early after release!
Do you think this could work in standard with Great train heist and Generous plunderer? :)
Not as a competitive deck, but could be fun to try.
@@LegenVD tried it today on the ladder with a 52 % win rate, so not good for climbing. But still with a competitive edge!
LVD looking at the jadzi dude like "omfg why won't you die"
From my experience Oracle of the Alpha doesn't actually shuffle the power 9 in it just puts them all on top. Also I've never played against a Shana deck that wasn't just a generic bant control deck
"And they went for a halfling"
You can hear his disappoinment LMAOOOO
Is there any recommendations for replacements for a commander deck?
I love Charmbreaker Devils, not the best card but definitely explosive if left on the board. I made a deck that paired with a bunch of X cost spells that could be cast for 0 mana and OHK the opponent.
LVD + multiple upkeeps sounds quite dangerous
Upkeep tribal!
such a cool deck. what a shame that no one ever wants to stick around to see it happen. if my opponent had a turn lined up for a bunch of triggers i would have to stay and watch it.
As foretold and any suspend card is pretty fun with Obama too
As Foretold is in there, but outside of Crashing Footfalls in green there are no Suspend cards on Arena sadly.
Xanathar in the upkeep section is a bit misleading. Yeah he triggers on upkeep, but his ability doesn't scale with Obeka...
Yeah, can probably swap it out for something else in 1v1.
I ran up against her…. With a Roaming Throne out…. She was getting 7 upkeeps a turn thanks to the aura that made her unblockable.
Ghired, mirror of the wilds next?
Holy crap your a Jojo character now with time control :}
👍
Ok but how to break her in standard 🤔
I'm so sad Initiative isn't on Arena jesus it is so good
I can't see alchemy card. Do you refuse to play it? If yes why ?
To avoid confusion for those playing the deck in paper. I personally also prefer playing with card that exist irl.
@@LegenVD good answer ! Me too.
@@LegenVD but also I am completely convince that alchemy card are not well designed because they are not tournament legal. This is just shit to catch new players.
Kind of upset obeka came back. I loved the 1 off time based legend with a unique mechanic. I miss when we just had 1 off "oh thats interesting" unique stuff instead of having to revisit everything untill its boring.
Can you imagine if her base stats were 5/2 instead!
surprised there's no darksteel reactor in there
That card needs more than a few extra upkeeps to become playable 😅
Hi LVD. Personally I have zero interest in Brawl (or anything else with alchemy), but I cannot always tell if this is a brawl video beforehand. So when I start it, and see it is Brawl I close the vid immediatly.
I heard that this is bad for the algorithm (short viewer retention) so i don't know what is better for you. People not clicking onto the video at all, or people closing it after 2 seconds?
Maybe you can better mark the format your videos are in. You often do this, but not always.
Brawl is the best format on Arena, definitely worth giving it a try!
i feel like the courts from WOE could be good in obika too
They are, but they’re not on Arena because they’re from the commander set.
Why do so many people pronounce it as "Obeeka" when it's clearly written as "Obeka" on the card?
Gavin from Wotc thinks it's pronounced the way I said it, so unless you have an official source with the correct pronunciation I'm gonna go with that. If it were written as "Obekka" I would pronounce it differently.
Nice list, only disagree with Xanathar. Yeah, it's a good annoying card, but it isn't really in the "extra upkeeps = more value" theme.
Indeed, that one isn't great in 1v1. I've replaced it after posting the video.
Pikacrafter designed a deck that doesn’t seem to be able to win, just be as annoying as possible.
P cool.
fürst.
slightly incorrect wording in the presentation, for patient rebuilding, you don't draw for every land you mill but for every land HE mills.
Tameshi player did NOT want you playing your commander
Discombobulate
Nonono -4/-4 is not a counter
?
The card is in your counter pile in the presentation 😝
@@MrFruxion Ah yes, didn't have room to split up counterspells and sweepers.
I'm so mad they did a cowboy set before a space set. Do a space magic set you cowards!
Unfinity
control is just so incredibly boring to watch (talking about the Jadzi match)
i like it when people pronounce words/names correctly, so the way he says Obeka really pisses me off
I'm pronouncing it the same way as people who literally made the card. So that's what I'm going with unless you have an official source that says otherwise.
God control games are so boring, screw that Jadzi player
I’m not completely convinced that Legend isn’t AI.
He’s too self aware to be AI
He'd have to be Nimrod tier AI.
Embrace modernity, reject monke
Yah his sense of humor is too subtle
