10 Cards You Should Be Putting In Your Commander Decks | Episode 41

[@arthurbozelli4360]

Man, Mercadian Masques really had a whirl on their creative designs. There's 1 in almost every 10 cards video and we never get tired looking for more.

[@kingfuzzy2]

Mercadian masques the dark scourge legends and the urza block are goldmines for super underplayed cards

[@mikebott6940]

@@kingfuzzy2 Mercadian Masques also had the 2nd cycle of "pitch spells" which were excellent.

[@kingfuzzy2]

Oh yes.

[@arthurbozelli4360]

I love the "of Ramos" series of mana rocks. They fly SO under the radar it's surprising

[@kingfuzzy2]

Me too thanks great ramp in mono colour and artifact decks

[@filipefernandes8669]

I don't even play edh, but i love this series, you find such cool gems.

[@ericr4677]

Bro you don’t know what you’re missing. Edh is the best

[@ericr4677]

@MightyR.D.B i started playing MTG in high school in the 90’s and haven’t played again since 2017ish. Started playing edh like 2 years ago for the 1st time FWD to now I have about 20 EDH decks everytime I say I’m done making a deck I make like 2 more, just finished a talrand, Sky summoner and sold it for $40. 😂😂😂😂 I have a play group of 6 guys at my job and my 11 year old son has 7 decks. To me You haven’t played magic until you’ve played Edh.

[@ericr4677]

@MightyR.D.B channels like this one and the $20 precons are great ways to learn how to build decks. My 2nd and favorite deck was reap the tides. I pulled a Kinnen and swapped him in as the commander and just started slowly upgrading it as I went along... that deck hasn’t be knocked out of my Mount Krushmore. My approach is to see as many decks that are similar and different. Then I add cards that none of them have and I come here for the finishing touches. I love old powerful budget cards that I’ve never heard of. I hope that help with the wetness behind the ears.

[@PauperPrincex]

Maybe you should

[@Volkbrecht]

Most of these are duds. Seriously, the format is way too efficient for cards that are mostly obscure, but not exactly strong.

[@Victorinya_Valentine]

Oh! Lat-Nam’s Legacy is one of my favourite cards! I’m very happy to see it in here, I always love when I get to cast it.

[@CrimsonXenoProduct]

Kill Switch is perfect for the new treasure meta

[@kylarstern42]

This is my favorite series of videos on youtube. So many hidden gems!

[@JoeKelly66]

I added Disciple of the Vault with Meltdown. Awesome combo. And no one knows until I pay the 2 mana! Keep up the good work!

[@blakmajk3512]

Great stuff, bud! I had a minpin named Demo (short for Demolition). I miss him

[@soupkup9377]

Lat-Nam's Legacy is great for my Kykar Polymorph deck! Every one of these videos in this series has something I can use. Not all 10 cards, but i can always find like 2-3 that fit one of my decks.

[@EDHCoffee]

HAHA Demo I feel like you're looking through my boxes of old cards! I saw half of these this weekend while I was building Valduk >.< Great selections

[@permafrost2064]

I use Lat-Nam's Legacy in my Kykar polymorph deck, its perfect. Get rid of a fatty you cant cast and dig for a polymorph spell. I also use Credit Voucher, there is another odd ball card you could feature. Cool series!

[@urgrim1657]

I love the "secret commander" idea, a video about it would be nice

[@leclaireiswin7069]

Ahhh Last Laugh!! The most underrated rare in draft from that set, sooo many wins with it.

[@lifebreacher7629]

Last-ditch effort. Love that card! It has won Me a few games. Great video Demo. Keep'er up.

[@milkshakes93]

I'm happy you mentioned Last-Ditch Effort, for I have loved that card in my Krenko list. I have a recommendation if you ever want to do it: Soulblast. I ran this in my Omnath, Locus of Rage deck and I fricken loved it. They try to boardwipe, I in return kill about 1-2 players.

[@BadCookies1234]

Last Laugh is one of the best pseudo-boardwipes for budget builds. It is no Toxic Deluge, but it can wipe a field easily and deal a LOT of damage to the table. I have used it to kill tables that were running token themes.

[@WarrickRanger]

I hope when you get to "S', you mention one of my favorite sleepers in my red anti-lands deck (Blood Moon, Price of Glory, etc.) - Shivan Harvest. It's also just a good red sac outlet like Goblin Bombardment in decks where that matters.

[@edhdeckbuilding]

already did it the last time through. great card.

[@septred3]

Here are some cards that I feel are quite good for EDH decks and haven't seen in a while in a deck. 1. Soldevi Sentry, 2. Scalpalexis, 3. Promise of Bunrei, 4. Final Judgement, 5. All of the (pulse) cards, 6. Mark of Asylum, 7. Master Transmuter, 8. Bloodhall Ooze, 9. Paleoloth, 10. Mirror-Sigil Sergeant. Also Happy Thanksgiving Demo san.

[@rowankeltizar5961]

Going to have to look these up when I get back to my laptop!

[@ericthedruid8509]

Oh snapdax!? You just reminded me of the Kusuri-Gama usefulness, thank you!

[@ryanbliss827]

Last laugh seems like it would fit amazingly in that new Toxrill commander deck

[@caden8592]

Liking the new logo!

[@AnimeBarLounge]

Can't believe people were sleeping on Larceny. It was one of the first cards I included when building my Toxrill EDH deck; among many other decks I've built.

[@mikebott6940]

Suggestions for future countdowns: 1. The "dreams" cycle from Scourge 2. Urborg Justice 3. Turnabout

[@edhdeckbuilding]

already talked about insidious dreams and urborg justice.

[@mikebott6940]

@@edhdeckbuilding Nice. Maybe you could do a breakdown of the Commander only pieces, like the Lieutenants...

[@a.b.2723]

2:05 validated the like I gave the video at the start. Perfect.

[@edhdeckbuilding]

i'm a bit of a metalhead.

[@FuriousFragger]

Love the new Logo!

[@AceTrace75]

Like the new channel rebrand!

[@edhdeckbuilding]

more to come

[@PawzBrownMTG]

These were some great cards I've got a couple of these and they work well. Thanks Demo

[@rowankeltizar5961]

Great picks! I really think last laugh has major potential. I'm going to try it in Elenda. Last ditch effort is great for a red token deck. Not too many sac outlets like this in red. Would be especially good with something like scute swarm, but might try it in my boros token deck

[@lokidragon8725]

Kusari gamma Has been a pet card for most of my voltron decks for years... Also I've a kill switch I haven't found a deck for yet but I'm sure I'll find it a home eventually. XD

[@daxmoore5681]

Tainted sigil and last laugh is a good synergy. Use the sigils ability to start last laugh pinging then let the stack resolve and replace all the life you list.

[@Malibooyahhh]

That lurrus deck goes wild for sure

[@bluesight_]

awesome picks as always. I use about half of these

[@jamesward1210]

Kusari-Gama goes nicely in a big boy deck, like my Omnath deck :)

[@timothylee8494]

Kill Switch gonna be fun in the Derevi tinker artifacts deck I wanna build… use in response to Derevi’s ability triggers for shenanigans

[@brendans1983]

Killswitch is in my heavy metal mtg collection, along with Deicide, Iron Maiden, Roots, the manticore that makes White Zombies etc. I wasn't gonna say anything but u mentioned the band, so I had to 🤘

[@edhdeckbuilding]

roots as in the sepultura album? or is that a band?

[@brendans1983]

@@edhdeckbuilding yeah bro, the sepultura album. Any random, obscure card that is a band or song name that I've liked over the years will go in the collection! Got Puppet Master in there, The Wretched, The Slayer. Not many, but its getting there haha

[@brendans1983]

I can't just Scryfall for them all either, I gotta dig and find so any suggestions are welcome 🤘

[@davidr3146]

Kill Switch would be great in an Alibou deck. If you use it last tap all your artifacts which is what Alibou wants. Also Kindle the Carnage would be amazing for Toralf deck. Toralf says all yoru spells and planswalker abilities that do damage have trample, so the extra damage would go to the player. Ive been thinking about making a Toralf deck

[@Aratovi]

Never expected to see a Shoutout for Lord Farquad

[@TheUltimateRey]

Thanks Demo!

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

Kusari Gama in my Kamahl, fist of Krosa deck is funny: Equipped creature gets blocked, turn a bunch of their lands into 1/1's and have them die :P

[@JacobBos1988]

Krosan Beast has been an all-star in my UG Threshold list for years. Now with Grolnok i fill my yard faster than ever before. Also look at Mystic Enforcer and Fledgling Dragon for cheap Threshold beatsticks. The Dragon is a beast under a Blood Moon.

[@randomcookieboy]

I use Lat-Nam's Legacy as a neat trick for Archmage Ascension if I'm concerned that I won't get my Unfulfilled Desires activations next turn

[@walkingdonut1385]

Have you talked about spy network

[@edhdeckbuilding]

i have not. it's a super funny card though. i really love that art.

[@kwintenkoeter7274]

I remember when I found Last Laugh and stuck it in a deck. A buddy plays Ghave, and when Laugh entered the battlefield, everyone was like, "okay?" Then Ghave sacced one Saproling and everything snowballed until the board was clear and everyone had lost like 15 life. People were like, "Wow. I did not expect THAT."

[@darwin_viera]

Kill switch and michosynt lattice could be nice if you have the artifact that let you untap your artifacts on each upkeep

[@ebhoverman18]

Kindle the Carnage is going in my Toralf deck for sure

[@austinchuilli3652]

Kindle the carnage was a all star in my old hellbent deck as a board wiped that gets me hellbent sometimes

[@Milsane]

I play Kill Switch in my Daretti Artefact Deck. The win Combo is Kill Switch + Mycosynth Lattice + Unwinding Clock - GG Untapping each of my opponents turns while they can do nothing. It's almost the sae combo like Karn and Mycosnyth Lattice

[@dreddbolt]

Definitely want Larceny for my Tourach (Dread Cantor) discard brew. Edit: Also for my Karazikar (the Eye Tyrant) (with Kardur, Doomscourge already in the 99).

[@9-b_b-9]

You talk about secret commanders in this video quite a bit it would be really cool if you made a video talking your philosophy behind making one.

[@datkid605]

Demo makes a KSE joke and I dont see ONE comment appreciating that glorious reference. Guess i gotta do it myself - "Yeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

[@edhdeckbuilding]

i tried.

[@markomalmi7989]

Kusari gama on alesha deck would do nicely

[@thelunchlady8276]

Kill switch is great in a stax/lockdown, I have no friends deck.

[@micahhonig1575]

Kindle the carnage could churn through your whole deck and deal a ton of damage when combined with swans of bryn argoll

[@MAabacadaba]

Can someone link to the Lurrus deck he mentioned?

[@edhdeckbuilding]

it's a patron deck tech, so only on patreon, but i usually post all my decks on tappedout: tappedout.net/users/igniteaxiom/mtg-decks/

[@MintyMagicMTG]

I think you still draw during your draw step with Kyren Archive out. Doesn’t say “skip your draw step.” Idk if that makes it better or worse

[@edhdeckbuilding]

you do still draw yes. but in a deck like maralen where you can't draw it still allows you to put cards in your hand.

[@justenleonas]

I actually run Last laugh in a few different decks.

[@dlinehan8230]

Just a card you might want to talk about one day if you haven't is tunnel vision in commander it's scary

[@the_names_rob]

If you havent talked about this one yet. Avenging Druid is a card you should be putting in your graveyard decks

[@nikos731]

KIndle the Carnage seems like the small brother of Nahiri's Wrath.

[@dab022]

Thanksgiving upload!

[@unimaginative_artist]

Cremate has saved my life 19000x

[@valornetwork508]

I like last laugh I am gonna run it in my zombie deck cause with dictate and the new zombie commander with any indestructible giving source to just spawn a bunch of zombies and trigger dictate of erobus to for them to sac everything while I make more zombies that will die forcijg more sacs

[@Arosium]

Brooooo keep em coming!!!

[@forcefield_mtg7229]

Kindle the Carnage with Brash Taunter.

[@Ironbird1776]

I use Lat-nam legacy in my tuvasa led oath of druids deck

[@SevenWD40]

I love killswitch engage

[@empty5013]

march of the machines deals with treasures and friends a lot better than killswitch tbh and is a sort of stax effect on artifacts (they gain summoning sickness)

[@andrewchristie5296]

Give last ditch effort lifelink with Soulfire Grand Master and then get the team back with Promise of Tomorrow and do it again 😂

[@magnusberge]

I have a Kusari-Gama`s but it become to good in my Xenago`s deck hehe, my friends hated it so much i took it out

[@rulamagic]

Kindle the Carnage makes an infinite combo with Swans of Bryn Argoll

[@matthiasblum5772]

i think this doesn't work as you thought. the swan taking damage creates draw triggers but before you get to draw the cards kindle of carnage has to fully resolve. so you can only discard as many cards as you had in hand when you casted that spell. but still it's a neat interaction, just not infinite.

[@MintyMagicMTG]

Lat-Nam’s Legacy on an Isochron Scepter. Oof

[@micahhonig1575]

Thanks Demo

[@colinclements3496]

Wheels are dog water in cedh now… majority of the decks usually win with their win cons in the graveyard anyways, this is especially true now since they banned hullbreacher.

[@torymiddlebrooks]

Last Laugh is also anti-Treasure.

[@AwesomeJerkface]

Kill switch will murder treasure token decks

[@ninetyninenights6226]

Darksteel Plate has 3 cmc though...

[@edhdeckbuilding]

lurrus is the commander not the companion.

[@kristiandahl1310]

I like last laugh but you need to be at a higher life total otherwise you're out.
