_Hadana's Climb // Winged Temple of Orazca_ looks like a fun card here, to one shot your opponent with a flying island XD

[@KingNin64]

I love this. I was considering building Arixmethes when I saw the original Arixmethes episode, but with this episode (and me pulling a Breeding Pool at the pre-release), I think something is telling me to go ahead and build it.

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Awesome!

[@mattarneson5211]

Such an underrated channel! Glad to see it always growing. Keep up the good work

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Thanks! Will do!

[@alexandergysting3645]

Okay I really really like this deck, but I noticed something in the 25 dollar version, that I just thought may have been overlooked, but with this 1 change I am pretty sure of it, and I totally think it is cool to want your commander out quickler with this deck, but, in the 25 dollar version it is pointed out how you can make infinet mana and you even have both "Freed from the Real" and "Pemmin's Aura", one of my personal favourit MTG cards. And now that I see which cards was removed, I would say they were some great changes, which means you still keep "Voyaging Satyr" and "Kiora's Follower", which means with these cards combined with "Simic Growth Chamber", which has been removed in this version, + a combination of either of the before mentioned cards gives another way to produce infinet mana, enchant either of the creatures and loop for infinet green mana, which I would say is a shame to have removed, I would simply remove another forest in it's place, adding a "Coral Atoll" can actually give another version for infinet colorless mana. Still keep up the amazing work! I am certainly going for a budget version of this. :)

[@willz4760]

The first commander deck I ever built was Gishath, inspired purely by your budget deck tech. I would love to see an expanded Break the Bank of Gishath so I can see what you would add and compare it to the direction I went as well! Thanks for all of your content!!

[@Saqrilege]

100%

[@oom-3262]

I think gishath is an easy tribal (dinosaur.deck) but I love it too! Also there are probably some obscure cards we missed.

[@TheodoreBrown314]

Carnage tyrant

[@TheodoreBrown314]

Gishath is honestly my favourite brawl commander. It’s a shame all the good dinosaurs cost like $10+ AUD

[@oom-3262]

[@youresodumb6574]

I love these break the bank episodes! I'm still fairly new to magic and your video s are really helpful with figuring out what to put into decks when you upgrade.

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Glad you like them!

[@jawnsyn]

Just found your Break the Bank playlist, love it. I'd like to see Break the Bank on Atraxa.

[@JohnH-wn8dl]

love this format as well! saw your reaper king budget and already slowly increased its budget since its so fun lol

[@SventFulgur]

Love the content! These videos have helped me tune some of my already established decks just by bringing cards that I didn't know about to my attention! I'm not sure if anyone has suggested it before but with how nice the golden pig icon looks in your videos it'd really cool if someday you had sleeves with the icon on them! Keep up the great work!

[@crovax1375]

I'm really surprised to see a break the bank episode for Arixmethes so quickly, this commander must be a favorite of yours!

[@PureInsanity025]

I love how Break the Bank had Revel In Riches for the background!

[@supernoodles908]

Oi!!! This isn't the $100 deck tech for brudiclad!!!! Well guess I might as well enjoy the video

[@AndrewLawton16]

Not the commander I expected to expand on, but I'm into it. Great video for a unique and dope Commander

[@oriongerlach6390]

I am very glad you made a break the bank of this deck

[@nabiscus_1389]

This has easily become my new favorite mtg channel. Any chance of seeing an upgraded Zada and Slimefoot decks?

[@Centurionwolf18]

This easily has become my favorite deck thank you for this with a few personal upgrades from eldraine and beyond death. This deck is brutal in my friend group

[@dawidwidera1819]

Yes! Thank you.

[@rorykitchen2727]

This deck looks hilarious. I enjoy seeing the cards that you cut. I'm dying to see a budget Nekusar deck. A lot of the best nekusar cards spiked in price so I'd love to see what you do on a $25 budget.

[@drvirjinity9705]

I hope we see traxos soon bc he hasn’t done colorless for a while

[@yoloswagb0i]

I love these break the bank episodes!

[@AustrianDubMachine]

Love this deck! So much so in fact that I went ahead and bought it! Haha. I will say though that I ended up switching out the Reclamation Sage for an Elvish Piper instead. I've found it to be a far more effective card considering all the high CVC baddies in the deck. Thanks for the video though! Extremely helpful!

[@DecimatedRanger]

Id really like to see a Break the Bank for Lazav, the Multifarious It has so many budget techs already because of how niche the ability is, but I'd like to see what Mitch can do with it

[@joeredmann785]

My play group has wanted to build a 7-8 power deck and I always liked this commander. Is this deck lost somewhere in that range? Love your vids as always and I jump for joy when I see a new video notification!

[@isaiahwalton9953]

I would love to see an upgraded Tatyova deck with some of the new simic cards coming out in Ravnica Allegiance. I feel like Simic Ascendency, Frilled Mystic, etc would be a perfect fit. Love the channel and a lot of my commander decks are inspired by your decks. Thank you for all you do Mitch!

[@dungeonmaestro5738]

Here's an oddball and a fun one, as it has an insane amount of utility: Marath, Will of the Wild. Comes in big, can ramp your own creatures, spawn Elemental Tokens, or just eat itself for commander damage. Every time you send it back to the command zone, it's coming back bigger. It was already in it's own deck a while back, but it was a bit of a rough deck, and is lacking access to several sets of cards that would put it to the next level.

[@howsjames1]

Just got this guy in the mail yesterday. Right now he's one of the 98 in a Partner deck but I might just have to make a new deck.

[@jonn3318]

Hey! Amazing content as always! I especially love all these not so popular and maybe a bit janky commanders where you really make them shine with your expertise! One i would really like to see you do would be Hope of ghirapur, since you did so well with the other colorless ones as well, and i would love to see what you could do with this one

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Thanks! Would be a fun one! Maybe in the future!

[@AndrewJFO]

I've been trying out a few things with this deck. A good addition is a Drift of Phantasms to search up Pemmin's Aura or Freed from the Real

[@manuelito1233]

With the speed you talk, i always was impressed that you didn't stumble or miss speak something. But when breeding pool came around, there's a first! I love your videos and just thought it was something funny.

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Haha it happens every now and then ;)

[@regaleagle6533]

With all that evasion I feel like downing dagger would make a good fit in the ramp.

[@zackgibson7264]

First off I really enjoy your content and your videos are very informative. I would also be interested in what you would do for a trostani budget deck w/additional bank buster vid. Anyway keep doing what you're doing your killing it

[@agriyon5328]

I've got a Tatyova sea monster deck. A little shocked that I didn't see Omniscience with all that card draw.

[@sethodell1694]

Arixmethes $100 upgrade?! Mitch, bless your goddamn beautiful soul lol

[@dylanwine2322]

Interesting arixmethes was my fourth deck. I loved some of the suggestions I would definitely add pemmins aura freed from the real biogenic ooze ant queen and jade mage as to go infinite creatures nothing feels better than creating a million ants. I definitely recommend the cloning route too. Storm tide leviathan, kraken of the straits + progenitor mimic or stolen identity. Let’s just say my play group doesn’t let either storm tide leviathan or kraken of the straits touch the board. Great budget commander at least pemmins was before it spiked.

[@jordonpohl7393]

20% budget boost is cyclonic rift which is great but interchangeable in this deck it seems. This makes this upgrade even better only costing ~$60 for most of the upgrade 👏

[@lrdofthelair]

Yo, I built this deck and its by far my favorite commander deck to play. The Ocean is mine to command.

[@hectormorales4090]

I'm sooooo building this one too...

[@pony26]

built my arixmethes deck around creatures with leviathan, merfolk, krakens, octopuses and serpents because slinn voda the rising deep can be insane late game with 3 or 4 higher powered creatures out.

[@paulwood1163]

I love the upgrade videos and the suggestions for upgrades in the $25 budget deck videos. Please consider suggesting a one to one direct correlation of what you would remove for the upgrades. It's not always clear what the best choice is. If you're like me, you upgrade a bit at a time. I don't want to destabilize the pace, or mechanics, of the decks.

[@dragonriderL]

It would be awesome if you could do a deck tech on Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord. He’s a pretty great commander if you build him right, which I can’t seem to nail. It would be cool to see what you suggest putting in, especially in these very affordable budget.

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Would be a fun one! Maybe in the future!

[@nerfprate]

Yooo where's the signed wayfarer's bauble?

[@kylecook9520]

[@o-inaris7359]

Looking for ways to improve this deck. My boyfriend and I found some good combos with the cards, but I don’t always get the opportunity to use those. It usually wins, but I want to make it even better so it’s win ratio goes up and I can teach him a lesson 😉
