8 Must-Have White Cards For Any Commander Collection

[@avatarofpapermagic]

NitPicking Nerds are a must have for any Magic Collection

[@NitpickingNerds]

It's true

[@damonhymer5960]

The ‘suckup’ mechanic is also overrated

Many people are saying this

[@crawdaddy1234]

1:31 Any deck that contains any white starts at 98 cards: the commander and Swords to Plowshares.

[@tymenvanessen3119]

96 cards. commander, swords, path, and sol ring.

[@kirururik]

@@tymenvanessen3119 you assume everyone only plays power level 7+

[@crawdaddy1234]

@@tymenvanessen3119 I’ve been cutting Path from some decks… not good enough depending on the deck, and I don’t have Sol Ring in my Enchantress deck.

[@jameshogan4679]

Ive started taking stp out of decks in favor of more versatile removal. Playing magic in 2023 its just as common for an artifact, enchantment or creature to be a threat, and if the creature IS a threat its probably the commander in which case exile is meaningless. But at the same time i dont run sol ring in 10 of my 12 decks so im either very right or very wrong about this stuff.

[@crawdaddy1234]

@@kirururik so you’re referring to literary every deck?

[@allenmwh]

I disagree with a few of the card that they picked out. The cards I would remove from this list are Welcoming Vampire, Keeper of the Accord, Emeria's Call and I would add Generous Gift, Smothering Tithe, and Akroma's Will.

[@EdguyRocketRide]

I guess keeper of the accord was only mentioned because it goes well with welcoming vampire. Emerias call is really strong tough. It is so versatile and only loses you 3 life which in commander doesn't really matter. But I agree with your additions, especially after they all got reprintet recently and are now more affordable.

[@TransparentEclipse]

Smothering tithe is a must run in any white deck that is serious about winning casual games

[@jandy1580]

LMAO this statement

[@tcgmetaslayer4202]

Got them all! 💯💪🏻😎 But you forgot the most important.... Benalish Hero!

[@d.a.d.-ohgosh]

Wow. Usually I'm expecting a super confident take from Beezy. When he said Farewell is easily in the 10 best board wipes I was blown. Very easily top 3. Like extremely easily top 3. It's also without a doubt the most powerful relative to cost board wipe. I wouldn't bat an eye if someone claimed that it's the best board wipe in the format.

[@jameshogan4679]

The only time a board wipe is good is when you break parody. Thats why cyc rift is so good. Unless youre playing superfriends, artifacts or enchantments farewell is a time wasting activity. Cyc rift is the only universal best board wipe i can think of. Other than that it just comes down to what youre doing with the deck. But i would still pick austere command over farewell every time. My farewells just sit in a binder

[@CommanderWildCard]

Farewell exiles that’s all that matters, gets rid of most things permanently so it it’s definitely top 3

[@jameshogan4679]

@@CommanderWildCard it just makes the game drag and thats what matters. Its so common that the person who drops a sweeper like this winds up losing its ridiculous. If youre playing in a way where you break paraody thats great, but the exile is not nearly as important as people tell me it is at great length. Unless of course you choose every mode, made the game a waste of time and have people scoop and if thats your plan just play winter orb on turn 2

[@d.a.d.-ohgosh]

@@CommanderWildCard yes indeed!!!!

[@jakenorris1967]

​@@jameshogan4679*parity, not parody Completely agree with your point though

[@alansmithee920]

Check out Sacred Mesa for white token production. A swarm of 1/1 fliers is scary enough, but it makes such a great mana sink over the course of the game, and because of its board presence, it soaks up removal for you too.

[@simondebesai5947]

I would’ve said Swords, Sevinne’s Reclamation, Smothering Tithe, Teferi’s Protection, Farewell, Ghostly Prison/Blind Obedience, The new Elesh norn, and esper sentinel

[@williamgoddard-i7r]

You should mention that if you blink with the comes into effect on the stack the second ability never triggers for skyclave

[@pauldyson8098]

GG: Green gave us Reki Sylvan Library. As a lifelong Reki fanboy, I appreciated that. Also, they need to find a way to get us blue, red, and white Sol Rings.

[@mikeashe7270]

Felidar retreat is probably my favorite non creature card, i always try to talk mysef out of putting it in every deck with white but it always makes its way in

[@crazedzealots]

lol me too

[@mikeashe7270]

@@crazedzealots lmao well at least it's not just me then 😂

[@jaceg810]

Path to exile can be a ramp spell, especially if you are mono white with no good other ramp and vomit out an amount of worthless tokens like it is your job. Its from experience still 80/20 removal/ramp, however a 1 mana conditional rampant growth with flexible upside is very much playable if you lack green.

[@tomdonoghue777]

I just looked as Beezys God-Eternal Oketra and realised all of these cards are in it haha

Swords to plow, is fantastic with tainted remedy

[@Buchaus]

Day 65 of guessing the Moxfield ad at 16:44. If i had to guess before the video my list would be: Swords to Plowshares/Path to Exile Land Tax Smothering Tithe Emeria's Call, or maybe Ondu Inversion Felidar Retreat Teferi's Protection Farewell Generous Gift

[@NitpickingNerds]

That's pretty close!

Anybody else DESPISE 3/4+ of these cards? The card draw ones are alright, many of the others just make the game take sooooo looonggggg ugh

[@jameshogan4679]

This is a whole video recommending teferi pro, swords to plowshares and esper sentinel. Also if you recur a farewell ya 100% im scooping because now you are robbing me of time. Id rather actually play my commander deck in the casual format of commander to have fun. Every other format of magic thats fine but i think we are all losing sight of the whole point of commander
