True-Name Nemesis should've been included into the rogue list. Or unblockable? But surely it will surely hurt your opponent a lot if you have a card that's protection from a player haha

So, I've already milled my table to death with Mind Grind, and after several different decks throwing that out, some promises had to be made that I wasn't going to go that route going foreward. That influenced my build quite a bit here, because i thought rogues would be a cool Tribal. What I did was focus a lot on quick unblockable damage, a few rocks to get Anowon out on turn 3, some artifact equipments that trigger of their bearer doing damage (these are very important for momentum), and as many cards that allow me to steal as possible from board, deck or grave. Grave is really important because there are some great cheaper to cast black spells that target "a graveyard", but i didn't shy away from 5 costs either as this is more of a late game play you make. So kinda like the pre-con, but a lot more "steal-y". By forgoing all but 1 board whipe in favor of Grave reccursion, you can kindof rely on your opponents doing the wipe for you, then all you have to do is rebuild using their biggest pieces with the recursion you hopefully drew on Anowon. The goal was to have a mill deck that wasn't super salt inducing, and it does that fairly well, while still holding its own!

@@jessianderson3959 This sounds like exactly what I would like to do, but I've never played commander before and am not sure how to build a deck. Mind sharing your list so I can check it out?

[@robertviscomi8199]

May I ask if you have a sample list for the mean/strong versions of this deck?

[@benjaminsiera1691]

Thanks for the video, I really enjoy those "EDH Three Ways"! Your videos add to my magic knowledge as well as they entertain me :-) keep up the good work!

[@poofypeanut0221]

Sweet video again! This commander doesn’t personally interest me but these are definitely great ways to upgrade it if you are. You guys rock!

[@poofypeanut0221]

Also, I’m sure there’s better ways to write this lol, but it’s pronounced something like “A-quiz-itter”

[@kellyoubre7433]

I think this deck will be really fun to play & looking forward to testing this out once I'm done upgrading it. Glimpse the unthinkable works really well in this 👍

[@JakeandJoelareMagic]

Hope you enjoy it! Let me know how it goes.

[@benjaminkaye5119]

I do like Altar of the brood And bruvac for the mill strategy. Leyline of the void as another way to exile opponents graveyard. Great video , always enjoy your 3 ways.

[@josyhiathompson6883]

Thanks for the suggestions! I got the anowon precon because i wanted the naya lands precon and my lgs only let you buy the two together for $40 (probally because the naya deck sold more). And after playing it a couple times out of the box I really liked it. Its different from my usual stompy or go nuts with tokens plan.

[@thedanath]

Oona's Blackguard is already in the precon :)

[@JakeandJoelareMagic]

nice!

[@wheelchazeal8089]

Loved this man. 🤘 got my sub

[@Grozdrak]

I was thinking of going more with Obuun but that strong tribal synergy for me kinda changing my mind.

[@moreparmesan5261]

I was going to build Obuun too, trust me, Anowon rouge tribal is so much more fun. And the precon (aside from the lands) seems very well put together.

[@russelravellette6612]

I love these videos!

[@MyAverageLife01]

Key to the city is one of my favorite cards. Best card in Alesha

[@evandercaruso5085]

I run an Anowon that combines all three but leans toward your mean style. Add a Bloodcheif Ascension and Mind Crank goes infinite. Bruvac combined with a kicked Maddening Cacophony will also get you an instant kill on someone.

[@randomwny]

Mine is heavy rogues, some unblockable and some mill. I'd like more unblockable. Thanks for the tips. How about an Arni Brokenbrow 3 way?

[@adamcappella8088]

I got a rogue deck. If notorious throng is played, the game is over

[@daemonrider2199]

Can there be a variant with vampires and rogues by adding vroska the scheming gorgon?

[@skfaenwulfgrimmwald3041]

I love this deck, i think anowon is a good commander, yes not the best but very solid. I have to warn you, don't play mindcrank on turn 2, otherwise you are the enemy of the whole table 🤣

[@ElleHasAGock]

I wanna do anowon mill infect but idk where to start

[@medicdan5981]

Unblock-able equals milling .... and oh yeah everyone gets pissed really quick lol so fun and mean

[@rafaellumrodas350]

Good stuff!!!

[@Corbin8]

Thanks for the video! I'm going to have to grab a tiny bones now..

[@jamesperry459]

Is there a fun way build a mill deck well guess fun be just you. Don't say your opponents need have fun

[@robertmorris4163]

I upgraded mine with a nod to the story and have him focus on stealing stuff so added agent of Treachery . , Zeartheth, notion thief and 9ther rogue steal stuff cards. my sub theme 8s mill.

[@kylesavage4525]

I would like to see Snapdax (infect/mutate/equipments) and Kalamax (value/combo) built in three ways. I have started building them both so i would love some insight. Btw i do not think that mill in general is considered a mean archetype since it tends to be quite slow and weak. Plus in edh a lot of people can either use cards in their gys or have cards like the original eldrazi titans that shuffle their gys into their libraries which means that u basically can not win by mill. 0:03-0:13 just lmao man

[@samdalfthegray4495]

My goal for the deck is to assemble sol ring tron by stealing all of my opponent's and also using my own XD

[@mitchnusco1600]

As a Mitch I accept your apology... only because I plan to build a mill deck

[@thew1ldcard886]

I wish I had a tinybones so bad for this deck.

[@zackjordan4728]

Horsemamship for unblockable

[@nastymcraw2620]

I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track to creating the "mean deck" very interested in that build. Would anyone be willing to check my deck and see where I'm at?
