[@WayfarersBauble]

My lowest TCGPlayer market price is currently just 54 cents for my Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate printing!

[@marcinswiecicki6713]

Thank you Bauble

[@fractals.]

Nice to see the bauble again.

[@corethunder3487]

Love you bauble

[@benemi2758]

We missed you. I hope I dont have to buy you for 3€ again. Not that you wouldn't be worth it...

[@kiritokaguya9180]

The Bauble is back and we all hope you will stay with us on a Budget level for a looooooong time :)

[@ElDocBruh]

Myrkul is great, a commander that helps me stop with my addiction to recurring things from my graveyard while still giving me the benefit of creatures that don't go away.

[@joelhatterini6392]

Mitch this is important, there's a card I think is being massively overlooked for budget in Baldur's Gate. It's called Navigation Orb, and it is to Cultivate what Wayfarer's Bauble is to Rampant Growth, turn 3 play it turn 4 crack it for 2 mana to cultivate but you can also get Gate lands, it's currently 16 cents as of writing and I think it could be a big part of non green ramp packages.

[@mrbojangles6156]

I’m surprised there aren’t more Ognis decks. I’ve built one that is absolutely brutal and consistently wins on turn 4-5.

[@UnbrokenGlass]

You got the link to the deck build? I also built him cause he seemed super fun

[@raccoonhatcity7627]

Ognis is a blast.

[@mrbojangles6156]

@@UnbrokenGlass I won’t share my decklist but it’s pretty straightforward. Jeweled lotus, a tutor, Magda, hellkite charger. Win.

[@wobblefoot7607]

Well I have waited over 10 years for a temur dragons matter general and I love her.

[@REDMDavyd]

Same!

[@brandonreder9869]

Yes, when I saw her in temur colors I got excited because Sarkhan Unbroken is what got me in love with dragon tribal in general, and I got excited I can use him as well a Sarkhan Masterless and Ugin again!

[@manethisthabesticouldthink1289]

Were you also waiting 10 years for me to tell you I'm proposing 😏💍

[@Cronirios]

Right before Ishin, I was very happy and hopeful about my new wulfgar deck... And then Ishin came out and I was "Wha... Why... What... Why?"

[@Watsabeholder]

It's nuts just good much better Isshin ends up. I wasn't really a combat focused commander player, and then Isshin showed up.

[@axelhackbarth9559]

I was waiting for years to get the right cards to build a "Sythis, Harvest's Hand" deck and Kamigawa basically made that deck possible... so I know that she doesn't belong in this list but somehow it feels she should be. XD

[@Badassest]

So far ive built shorikai vehicle tribal, go-shintai of life's origin shrine/enchant tribal, ziatora steal-n-fling, giada angel tribal, ognis fight club, obscura shadow, minsc and boo hamster tribal, tasha went into my clone rogues, elminster into ranar, tasha and elminster into obscura shadow, xander vampires, colorless mega gates, vecna is hanging out with my olivia and to round everything out a jaheira/feywild go big or go home build. Will be working on a cabira caller of the small bunnies gone wild deck too!

[@arbhall7572]

I just bought a Raffine last week. Played 3 games with it. Love it. It's a solid commander, but here's the thing. It scared the shit out of my group. I won 3 games in a row. ( tbf I did draw stupid opening hands, that set me apart from the get&I won initiative every game. My victories are really only half mine, if that.) So beware. Introduce this commander at your own risk. Every single one of my friends heavily modified their decks in response.

[@calvinethobbes66]

Same problem here with Jinnie fay :/ After 4games absolutely awesome (i play principally dual commander) , my opponents in my playgroup modify decks to more controls aggro >

[@Bobbybillybillbob]

Well add 1 to Isshin as I've built him as a commander and he is NASTY! Def my favorite of the Kamigawa builds!

[@Watsabeholder]

He gets absolutely nutty when you add in some of the Baldur's gate cards. Like, Karlach is another triple combat engine, great sword of Tyr's counters really add up, and then there's... two-handed axe. Doubling your power on attack... Twice. And then doing it again every subsequent added combat. I had Isshin himself swinging for 360 damage by himself in the last of the three combat phases I had that turn.

[@TheBen69]

I had a feeling the dragon xerox machine would take off quickly

[@War-Time-Leader]

My Go-Shintai deck is one of my top decks right now and it works like a machine its beautiful

[@paolobalingit2211]

I was shocked not to see Lord Xander in this list.

[@NoNo-qt4ov]

Xanders great and scary but pretty expensive too

[@FreeAtlas.]

I built a Hinata deck for under 50$ earlier this year and it absolutely wrecks. The simple cost reduction for x spells is brutal and I don’t even have to do much to win once hinata is out

[@vincentsmith4772]

Damn you Eddie!!! You got Mitch again. Go-shintai cost 3 and a green, not a red. 🤣

[@XLuxtra]

Isshin was the first Commander i really enjoyed and that became like my Signature Deck with all the cool Sams and even tho most of them rotated out by now, i do own all the showcases in Foil now and they look pretty in the binder. Also...CAN I JUST SAY HOW SICK RISONAS SHOWCASE LOOKS!!! Funny tho the Deck im buildin now is Teysa Aristocrats. I seem zo enjoy Harmonicon Commanders

[@Bigjake8776]

I’m curious what tatsunari is ranked on the list for kamigawa set, especially since my buddy built it as an enchantress deck. Pretty disgusting

[@shadowwolf8393]

Shorikai self mill with a laboratory maniac, thassa's and stuff like that is so fun to pull out a turn 3 4 or 5 win consistently. 10/10 would recommend

[@peachydls341]

I think Miirym is the ultra budget Temur version of Kaalia of the vast

[@JustforKikX]

Still making a Winota cEDH deck. TBH it's too much product lately, I can't really take the tme to enjoy new commanders. I DID pull an etched Miirym though....

[@Watsabeholder]

I took Winota and put her in my Isshin deck because my friends deserve to suffer me searching my whole damn deck, apparently. "Excuse me while I search the next 48 cards in my deck in six card intervals because I attacked with some samurai foxes."

[@Trujones]

Ive been playing Elminster its so fun

[@benmartin3553]

Favorite deck right now.

[@mibbzx1493]

My sleeper pick is evelyn the covetous. I won a few games with her and then when they saw my options i had they got pissed & decided kill her 7 times in one game just because they didnt like her 🤣

[@allobonjour9761]

I feel like a lot of the commanders from Baldur's Gate are extremely underated, but that might just be me

[@josephpayongayong2081]

I’m sure part of the problem was the background commanders as that could offer a ton of variety

[@allobonjour9761]

@@josephpayongayong2081 I feel like it's because a lot of people didn't like the set because it wasn't a power house and skipped it even tho there is a lot of fun cards in it imo

[@EdgelessTitan]

What card art is used for the Baldurs Gate intro at 12:30?

[@frosty8958]

@7:21 You should take a random sample of those decks and look at what % of that sample are precons. Then just use a student t-test. If The majority of your random sample are custom commander decks, you should still consider the pre-con commanders. Unless you have actually done this, then your opinion about the skewing of popular commanders could be wrong. Though, with this test, it could also prove to be correct ^-^.

[@mtgmarshmage680]

I'm almost crushed Lord Xander didn't make the New Capenna top 5...almost :D.

[@astuteanansi4935]

I for one am relieved there are not that many Commander players who bear nothing but hatred and contempt for their fellow man

[@mtgmarshmage680]

@@astuteanansi4935 lol my Xander deck definitely doesn't make me any friends

[@Watsabeholder]

I have him and just... Find him genuinely unfun to play. Competitive? Yes, kinda. Maybe not fast enough. Fun for a commander night with the squad? No.

[@astuteanansi4935]

@@Watsabeholder He's the kind of commander who's only fun if you're the kind of person who has fun by not letting anyone else have fun

Xander was overrated on release, i would never play a card like that. 🤣

[@oscar_anime_king3071]

how come dominaria aint on here? is it too recent?

[@alucarddracula7]

I love my Satoru deck. Hitting my friends with a ninjitsu Blightsteel Colossus never gets old (for me).

[@Dutch_The_Legend]

Orfeo fling deck tech?!?!?!?! Oddly enough I've only been playing for like 3 months and I pulled an orfeo, first thing that came to mind is fling. But unfortunately my cardbase knowledge isn't that much yet so I could be missing something big

[@evernever9877]

Does anyone know if stormy rooftop affects the commander tax or not I ask because I see a two card infinite combo depending if stormy rooftop does in fact Nolan get the commander tax with Will heart I can make infinite draw infinite tutu zombies with decay because I'll literally summon him for zero sack to draw a card make a tutu zombie repeat the process
