This video really should be the first one that pops up when you search this commander! Maybe I'm a bit bias though since you built this thing to do exactly what I wanted. As others have said; you did an amazing job at getting the deck details out quickly and concisely, the tech has very sound reasoning and I'm in the process right now of getting this thing built.

I just stumbled across this legend online snd thought it would be fun to brew. The ramp seems pretty random. Most precons come with a sol ring and arcane signet. And im a personal fan of the diamond set, so id add them. Then i could dig out like a few random ones such as the Ravnica Signets (the two drops)
@BluebearsGames
@BluebearsGames Ай бұрын
There's a couple of reasons for the mana rocks being the way they are. Firat this is a 3+ year old video, so his was before every set got commander precons, so the availability of AOL rings and Arcane signets was not nearly what they are today. That being h said, the prices of those rocks were also a tad higher because of it which is the main reason for them not being in this build and video. The other thing is I have certain rocks I like and the ravnica signets aren't one of them. It's my opinion that they are more fixing than ramp. I do add them occasionally, but for what they do, sometimes I would rather a 3 mana value rock that can tap for any color than a Signet. Over the last few years we've gotten a few with some positive upsides as well. At some point I may make this deck again and do a new video with a bunch of updated cards, but as of right now it's not on the schedule.

I really like the deck idea. Here were my first thought on it: I think the deck have a little to much removal ( although, kudos, for making it all enchantment removal ) and I also think the deck lacks some card draw, it is a card game after all, and top decking is never fun: So with that in mind I would personally have cut the 4 x Sunmane Pegasus and added 4 x Inspiring Overseer ( it's a 3 mana creature instead of 4 mana, so it helps with the curve, it's card draw and life gain and it's still a mythological creature :) I would also suggest cutting 4 removal and add either: 4 x Revitalize ( 2 mana draw 1 and heal 3 instant spell ) or 4 x Rune of Sustenance ( it's 2 mana Enchantment - Aura Rune draw 1 and gives lifelink ) both fit with the overall plan of the deck and both are card draw cards, sure it's just " a cantrip " a single card that draws a card, but drawing cards and progressing your board plan is always more fun than top decking and praying you don't hit " another land yet again " or even worse, never drawing enough lands to begin with. I am aware you brew your decks out of the cards you got laying around and don't order specific cards for specific decks. ( but these 12 cards I suggested: 4 x Inspiring Overseer, 4 x Revitalize and 4 x Rune of Sustenance are my suggestion to budget upgrades for the deck ) Regardless I think it's a good and potential quite fun deck you brewed here :)
@BluebearsGames
@BluebearsGames 2 ай бұрын
All good options. As a blue player from 1993 I absolutely agree that card draw is a must. I looked at rune of sustenance because of th card draw, but ultimately decided it wasn't enough just being a cantrip to replace itself but I can see maybe that's all someone would want. It was honestly the last cards I decided to cut. As for inspiring overseer, it's probably one of my favorite angels in the game, but I also make an angel deck, and filling the 3 mv spot in an angel deck with them had whittled my supply down to very low amounts. They do fit the theme though, but as you said, I try and build these fun decks from the stuff I have on hand. I used to do small upgrade suggestions for these little brews, which would have included a few options to upgrade this, buy when I looked at the analytics, people didn't care about that part so much and the few that did, just asked anyway, so that's the part where possibly some of the cards you mentioned would have ended up being mentioned. The good thing is that people who are I terested in that sorta thing can just read it now 😀 Thanks for the input and if/when someone takes this off my hands, I'll be sure to direct them here first thing.

There are actually reasons I didn't include the orbs and sphere. The first is because I already have a deck that uses them for lovkdown reasons and I wanted a slightly different feel for the 2 decks. The second reason is I felt that the way I put this together would be more "fair" since there's actually a chance to get out of the control locks. If for some reason this deck doesn't perform how I want it to, then stasis with tithe is the next evolution, but I didn't want to slow games down to a standstill. Not yet anyway. So far this had performed as expected for what I was going for. I even got shiny new fallout version to use if I decided to go that route.

I tried doing it that way a few times, but every set has a different location for where the rates are and Ican never remember which ones have them in the front compared to the back. They all used to have them in the end, and then for a few sets the packs printed I. Japan had them in front while the one printed in the US had them in the back amd it just got way too much to keep track of. I just go with the flow and do my own thing and hopefully all the new packs will go back to the original way of putting them in the back. Believe me though, I do try and make these openings as entertaining as possible, so I try different things with the songs and graphics, but in the end, people barely notice the subtleties lol. If you go all the way back to the first boxes I did this for years ago, and then fast forward to recent ones, there's where you will see a world of difference in the quality of the videos for entertainment.

I've often felt the guild signet artifacts are really underrated for ramp. Another think that I think goes under the radar are the Lorwyn/Shadowmoore Filter lands. Mystic Gate (W/U) and Fetid Heath (W/B) are usually under two dollars (Sunken Ruins (U/B) for some reason usually commands a much higher price), but not only do they help with fixing, they also ramp with the signets really well. Turn 1 play a Fetid Heath as your land, tap it for one colorless and play a Sol Ring, then tap that for two colorless and play an Azorius Signet. On your next turn drop a Lightning Greaves, and an Ancient Tomb, tap the Sol Ring for 2 colorless, filter one into the Azorius Signet, and filter the white from that into the Fetid Heath for a black and a white and you have a shrouded Haste Turn 2 Zur on the board.

Usually the filter lands that you're talking about, which I call the double master filter lands, are one of the 1st lands I recommend for budget conscience players.

@@BluebearsGames I use that expansion since that was the first printing of them, and I have to contrast with the Odyssey block allied color filter lands (which I think do a much worse job of fixing). I often see the signets get stacked up unfavorably against the Talismans for ramp because they aren't as flexible. Even though they are both effectively 2 CMC mana rocks that get you ahead by one mana. But consider the same setup as above but instead of an Azorius Signet, you have a Talisman of Progress instead. Effectively the same amount of mana and colors are available but because the Talisman doesn't filter like the signet does you can't actually cast Zur on Turn 2.

@@BluebearsGames I mean, true. But isn't it more sensible to build so that you have the possibility of having a perfect hand as opposed to a deck where it's not possible? You can make the same argument against Gemstone Cavern. You have a 6.5% chance of making that a Turn Zero play, and it's not much good outside of that. But people run it anyway. You have to get something in your opening hand and increasing the variety of ways in which you can have perfect hands should be the goal, imo.

@JohnSmith-vk9ds it really depends on how you think in terms of playing the game. Some people prefer constancy to speed. Others just have some cards they just really like over others. I'm not gonna tell someone that what they think of a card in a deck is wrong or right. I'll give my opinion, but that's it. Leaves room for discussions such as this 😀 As a person who's played control since 93, I tend to lean towards consistency and leave speed to tge adrenaline junkies 🤣 My point is, everyone has a different thought process on how to play, and while I see your point of having the chance to get the nut hand vs not even having the opportunity, there's always another way to get that chance with different cards that someone would rather use than another.

You're welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Got plenty of others you could watch or I do take suggestions for other builds on a budget.
