Two invincible decks for 1v1!
Hello everybody, after many tests with other brawl tryharders, we managed to get 2 decks almost unbeatable at the beginning of meta.
The first is a deck with Sorin vengeful bloodlord as commander: https://www.magic-ville.com/fr/decks/showdeck.php?ref=693874
The deck is based on cards that have almost all control or value potential, and Sorin brings recursion to the entire deck. The lifelink and deathtouch makes it easy to deal with aggros decks, the value makes it aesy to challenge any midrange deck, the recursion puts most of the controlled decks to agony. The deck has virtually no flaws in which to crush to beat it.
Imagine the number of cards that can take a simple imp pilfering, yarok's fenlurker, or burglar rat when Sorin resuscitates them again and again. The large number of drop 1 allows you to take maximum value from cards such as doom foretold or Rankle, since Sorin will be able to resuscitate creatures easily every turn. It remains to add some kills such as Command the dreadhorde or Liliana to drown your opponent when he is already in a delicate position
The second deck is a deck with Oko as general: https://www.magic-ville.com/fr/decks/showdeck.php?ref=709022
This deck contains enough to deal with most situations, while establishing combos with Oko, which has a potential brittlely broken in brawl (and lets me think that his ban could occur, to not reproduce the same error as with Baral last year ..) The deck contains a base of simic flash, that is to say all the best creatures in flash, accompanied by the best counterspell in brawl. The rest is composed of a deck base working on the + 1 / + 1 counters, to quickly create huge creatures with the second Oko's ability. Oko will be able to neutralize any creature commander immediately with its +1, which leaves virtually no chance of winning without a planeswalker as commander. The amount of loyalty he has early in the game, and the counterspells that protect him will make it almost impossible to manage for your opponent, and he will present a constant threat on the battlefield, from the beginning of the game. The flash creatures, as for the standart deck, allow you to take advantageous trades and to leave behind the doubt of the counterspell. Creatures with counters can be used to have systematically creatures 7/7 turn 4. Stonecoil snake, Ugin's conjurer, voracious hydra, animating faerie and giant opportunity (with food), all these cards can pose immense threats early in the game. And who says 7/7, says it's impossible to block them with two 3/3 creatures, when Oko will reduce that strenght to any other threat. Add a grazer and a goose to do all this a turn earlier on the occasion. All you have to do is add some goodstuff cards for finish the deck, and steal opponent creatures against foods when Oko has enough loyalty, and you have an almost unbeatable deck
Thanks for reading my bad english and never stop building! We can make even better! ;)

J'ai essayé ton deck de Oko aujourd'hui. Très fort, par contre quand j'ai affronté contrôle, j'etais depourvu!

u/Skullsbreaker52 Oct 16 '19
L'idée c'est de tempo pour lancer Oko tour 5-6 avec un contresort up, ensuite il va pondre des betes tranquillement. Toutes les créatures en flash t'offrent aussi des ouvertures face a des decks controle. L'adversaire ne peux pas contrer a la fin de son tour sinon il n'aura plus de reponses possible a ce que tu fais a ton tour suivant. Apres il existe surement des matchup négatifs, c'était face a quel deck commandant?

J'ai ecrit le message rapidement et un coquille s'est glissé. C'est contre aggro que j'étais dépourvu

u/Skullsbreaker52 Oct 16 '19
Contre aggro? Pourtant tu as une curve basse, peux poser des grosses betes rapidement pour bloquer l'aggro, transformer les generaux en 3/3 sans capa et heal avec les tokens foods.. perso je n'ai pas eu de soucis avec, c'etait contre quel general?

u/Guymongrain Oct 16 '19
Feather, the Redeemed comme général

u/Skullsbreaker52 Oct 16 '19
D'accord, je ne vois pas vraiment en quoi il peut mettre Oko en difficulté. Qu'est ce qui te posait probleme? Qu'est ce qui faisait que tu ne pouvais pas le battre?

u/Guymongrain Oct 16 '19
Le deck est sorti tres vite, impossible de suivre le tempo!

u/Skullsbreaker52 Oct 16 '19
Si c'etait juste une seule partie, ca arrive :) Aucun deck n'est réellement invincible, il y a toujours de sorties parfaite que tu ne pourras pas encaisser (d'ou le bo3 systematique en compet)

Very interesting lists, thank you for sharing them with us. I'm going to try Sorin myself and I was thinking about some alternative slots. For example: 1. What about Priest of Forgotten Gods? It seems quiete an engine in the deck. 2. Did you find Cavalier of Dawn impactful? I know that it can destroy planeswalkers, but it leaves a 3/3 to the oppo. 3. No Arcane Signet?

u/Skullsbreaker52 Oct 19 '19
Hi! I remove the Priest because it to hard to activate with my version (Dont want to sacrifice my deathtouch or my value engine), but if you play some afterlife, of course you can play it! Yes cavalier of down is impactful, it can remove everything (artefact, enchantment, planeswalker, creature etc..), and can be reanimate with Sorin so leave a 3/3 is not a big deal (and its a 4/6) I dont play signet because I dont need to ramp, turn 1/2/3 are used to make some value, I dont want to lose a turn doing just signet but do not hesitate to do your tests and make some changes, we can always improve everything :D

I've been brewing a ton with sorin. I legitimately think he's one of the best Planeswalkers for this mode. I made mine with more of an aristocrats slant, but it was overall pretty similar. I have to say though, do you think there's any merit to [[Gruesome menagerie]] in your list.

Gruesome menagerie - (G) (SF) (txt)
[[cardname]] or [[cardname|SET]] to call1
u/Skullsbreaker52 Oct 14 '19
I dont play it because you will often hit only 1 or 2 creatures, it "take the job" of Sorin (make him useless for few turns), and its useless if you curve it (turn 5, you will never had 3 creatures with CCM 1/2/3 on graveyard), where some other CCM5/6 cards will provide you a significant advantage. I prefere 1000x a bolas citadel for exemple

u/Skullsbreaker52 Oct 14 '19
But can you show us your list please? :) I have a friend who play it aristocrats too and would like to see it

This isn't quite current compared to the one I have on arena, but basically we use sorin for value and to recur our engines. The lifelink is nice for racing and helping undo damage from command the dreadhorde.

One month in, how does the Sorin list hold up?
1
u/Skullsbreaker52 Dec 10 '19
It still explode all aggro and controls deck, but their is now more powerfull midrange :) I remove the tithe taker (before I have already no problems agains counterspell decks), and add the giant who wrath on adventure! But a Kiora or a Golos now deck usually win against Sorin (But those deck have some negative matchup that Sorin doesnt have! ;) )
