Merry Christmas brother, I’m building a Mardu charge counter deck and have a slot for a pet card, love for you to pick one!

The thumbnail made me think 5 Esper commanders just got banned. Dashes don't really make sense if there is only one point 😄

If you've got mana to burn and some way to give Alistair evasion you COULD get two activations of his second ability via Finest Hour. Send in a buffed up Alistair for a preemptive strike and then send in a double buffed everything.^^

I have a sidar jabari deck using the 9 Nazgul which are knights themselves, ringbearer stuff as well. Just a good a time. Thanks for the video Nicky G, merry Xmas brother

He's from Dr Who soooo... British.

Great content brother. I really enjoy your delivery. Also could you or someone explain to me what you mean by goldfishing. I don't really understand the reference 😂.

Inquisitor Greyfax for me. It was the best one at the time, and I was looking forward to having something which felt different than the others.

I'm loving Master of Keys but imo an underrated Esper commander is Raffine, Scheming Seer. Connive is such a sick mechanic, but really dont see much outside of Ledger. I feel like surveil kind of overshadowed it. But Raffine just lets you churn through your deck pretty efficiently.

Freed from the real is AMAZING on ertai

ertai is my enchantment commander

Knights FTW brother! Merry Christmas from down under!

Thanks! Love your videos brother

My brother is home for the holidays which means I’m playing against Marneus Calgar a lot these days. He plays my decks and that’s his favourite because he’s a huge 40k fan. I’ve improved on the precon a fair bit and he often makes me regret it. Gotta love to see it.

Wub-a-wub for the dub-a-dub dub

I dunno Saruman seems really interesting and potentially very powerful and I almost built it. My main hold up is it seems like it would be conducive to excessively complex board states/ decision trees ergo super long turns. I dunno just too much of a headache. I’ve been playing for over 20 years and I more and more appreciate not having to think as much when I play 😂😂😂

Esper is the Bestper! I want to build them all! I have Tivit. I mainly wanted to focus on voting, but of course I have a Time Sieve for when the game is going nowhere. All those extra voting cards help you gain a bunch of extra advantage. And there's a card that allows you to select how everyone votes for the entire turn that casts for one blue mana and draws a card! I abuse that with some of the really nasty ones and of course usually give myself all the treasures from Tivit. A lot of other cool options here. I have Marneus in one of my decks because of all the value he provides. Saruman really is tempting me to build him next. Ertai might find a home in the 99 of a deck of mine because he's sweet as well. Heck, even in the Saruman deck, he could be great

Tivit slaps brother, one of my favorite things to do is to use cyberdrive awakener to turn all those clues and treasures into 4/4 flyers. Not to mention Academy manufacture triples the amount of tokens we make, such a versatile commander.

Speaking of Esper, I still regret not buying a Zur before Duskmourn. Had my eye on it for a while before then, and figured it would go up maybe a dollar or two, but not nearly as much as it did. Had also been eyeing Sidar, so may go with them instead.

I play a TON of Saruman on Arena. Next to Geralf blue zombies it's probably my favorite deck on there.

come for the esper commanders, stay for the Led Zeppelin conspiracy theories.

Another cool one I’ve recently started theorizing for is bane lord of darkness, he is pretty much the de facto clones commander being able to clone something, then have it die and either draw a card or put another clone into play for free

Good timing brother! Just building a Tivit deck, and I totally slept on the voting mechanic! Was concentrating on the time sieve combo for extra turns. Keep on putting out the good work brother.

The best christmas gift i could have asked for! Your beautiful voice!

This takes me back. My friend built an Ertai deck back a few years back which was Merfolk kindred. I don't remember too much about it but I know it used Lullmage Mentor, who creates a 1/1 Merfolk token when you counter a spell. He also used Merrow Reejerey to untap Ertai whenever a Merfolk spell was cast/Stonybrook Angler which can also untap. Finally, to create Blue mana he used the Merfolk Sea Scryer. There was an enchantment he used that untapped each merfolk at the end of the turn. It was the best control deck I've seen in a while. Honestly, since Ixalan & the caverns set dropped, the deck probably would be even better if someone rebuilt it. There is also those kindred reanimation spells that reanimate all creature of the same type; that didn't exist when he had this.

Bought my brother the sidar precon for his first deck, not even 50 bucks put into it he was slapping my group around like the rest of us were playing go fish or something. Dude goes nuts with double strike if left unchecked

Happy Holidays, Nicky G.🎄

Saruman of Many (3) Colours.

Do they fit in my marneus calgar deck? Not really.. am I gonna use them? Hell yeah brother

My glorious king Ertai has been mentioned!

Dude I love the art on Saruman so much

Why it feel like Santa would be Esper? Merry Christmas Nicky G! (G for GANGSTER.)

Already up to 15 k!! Way to go , now that is better commander , brother !!!

Tsabo could use an update. And my boy Crovax

Happy Holidays brother!

Nicky G I need a decklist on this one brother my goodness

Slivers are amazing, which why everyone sweats self unto a puddle til they are first out 😢

I have a Aurelia, the law above haste matters deck. Pretty fun, drawing cards and slam people.

It's always a good Sunday when you get back from slingin' cardboard and find yourself served a sweet dish of knowledge about a card I've long slept on. Always appreciate you brother!

Love the video! Denry is definitely cool and makes for a powerful combo build around. Didn't even think about what a deck centered around him would look like, but he's in my Atraxa (Perrie secret commander deck) because there's so many interesting counters I can just put on him to put on everyone else. Such a fun deck, but you've convinced me this cat is so powerful on his own and I might need to throw him in the Azorius deck I'm planning as well

Kos, sometimes referred to as kosm

What a handsome channel

Denry Klin starts off with two of the chosen counter, which is usually +1/+1 counters, since you put a counter on AS it enters, and then it triggers on itself entering. I think a lot of people sleep on this card just because it isn't clear that it does this

Cats?! CATS?! 💯🎉❤

There are times you just type things to engage

Deadeye Navigator: Row Row Row your boat... - Ygra is such an amazing Golgari Cat ;p

Hope you have a great christmas dude, or whatever you celebrate. The vibes and the deck building advice are always immaculate in this channel. Have a jolly time with your friends and family these holidays brother.

Everytime you mention Tyler i cant help but think youre talking to me lmao
