Show Notes:
On this episode we look at the remainder of the SOLO (non-partner) legendary creatures from Commander Legends and breakdown the coolest combos and synergies that we see for each of them. If we don't talk about the Commander you're looking for here, that means we already covered it in episode #359. That, or we're going to be covering it soon in the upcoming partner episodes.

Important bit about Salamanders: Protection means that your creatures can't be blocked by Salamanders either. So maybe put Blightsteel in your own deck and swing in for 11 infect by turning any blockers into Salamanders.

[@inajar7947]

I could see Jared being a great auras/voltron deck. I know Naya has Uril but Jared seems more interesting.

[@joshehman2010]

@@inajar7947 face value, if you want to go more monarch, you can basically have it interchangeable with a "Marisi, Breaker of the Coil" type of deck. Low mana evasion helping with getting monarch and goading helping to keep it

[@josharnold6546]

A card a lot of people will miss is guilty Conscience which says whenever this creature deals damage guilty Conscience deals that much to enchanted creature effectively doubling jareds power every time he does something he wants to do

[@inajar7947]

​@@joshehman2010 For sure, my playgroup has a great Marisi deck and I've piloted it a couple times. I don't view Jared as a monarchy commander, though. It's definitely an aspect of it, but the rest of Jared's abilities are more interesting to me. Monarchy is just the means by which you get the damage prevention on Jared. Some of the design space I find really interesting with Jared: -Damage-based boardwipes. Blasphemous Act, Earthuake/earthquake varients, Anger of the Gods all seem fun. Throw in Firesong and Sunspeaker and Tamanoa for extra spice. (Especially Tamanoa. How many decks use THAT card these days?) Also fun are things like Nomads En-Kor, Spitemare, Boros Reckoner to redirect your damage spells to an opponent or even Jared himself. Hornet's Nest and Phytohydra to gain even more benefit from all the damage. By boardwiping so much you make it easier to retain the monarchy, and keep the board clear of blockers when you hit with Jared. Add in some indestructibility to keep your creatures (Avacyn, Selfless Spirit, Dauntless Escort) or just don't run many creatures and focus on Voltroning Jared up and running things like Ghostly prison to stop the clapback. -Fight. Also an interesting angle, besides the plethora of fight spells we can also enjoy Neyith of the Dire Hunt, Foe-Razer Regent, and a personal favorite, Grothama, All-Devouring. 5 mana, draw a bunch of cards, put 10 counters on Jared? Yes please. -Lure. Throw a Nemesis Mask in. Noble Quarry. Armed//Dangerous. Revenge of the Hunted. Make your opponents block Jared with all their creatures and laaaaaaugh. -A few goodies like Inquiisitor's Flail. The MDFC that's basically Fling. Maybe an aura/equipment package, though I haven't fully explored that angle yet. There's just so much potential here, it's a GREAT deck and I'm excited to get deep into brewing. Marisi is a great deck too, I just view it as wholly separate from Jared. Two different styles of deck, that both happen to get good use out of the monarchy.

[@joshehman2010]

@@inajar7947 weird amount of versatility on a seemingly narrow commander

[@jackbiggs5247]

I think another good planeswalker to add to the list at 41:24 is Aminatou, the Fateshifter. You can blink Nevinyrral, Urborg Tyrant back to double the number of zombie tokens you have. What do you guys think?

[@georgericketts4611]

That seems pretty decent to me. Nevinyrral, Urbog Tyrant is definitely an interesting card to build around imo. There’s some interesting ways to go about him: Boardwipe tribal, Zombie tribal (maybe potentially stuck in the 99 of Varina, Lich Queen decks?), superfriends, tokens, or even aristocrats perhaps. His mana cost also makes him a pretty balanced as well.

[@TheViridianDusk]

Not to mention that Aminatou is just generally good in a superfriends deck anyway because she can reset another Planeswalker's loyalty and give it another activation.

In the intro Adds they are right that you can feel the sleeves being sliced together and its very satisfying.

[@michaeldavis9807]

Araumi is definitely cedh insane. If you cast intuition, buried alive, or entomb, and you can activate araumi you win. You just do spellseeker, thassa’s oracle, demonic consultation shenanigans. You can also get insane value with gilded drake, phantasmal image, seagate stormcaller with your commander.

[@kstandish42]

My thoughts exactly, it opens a whole avenue of grave recursion with very powerful etb and ltb triggers which frankly is all cedh cares about. Having access to recurring Thassa's Oracle and Demonic Consultation if you get stopped first go around is pure value.

[@austinward9741]

I was about to mention the high exile count, but I forgot that cedh would give you one opponent.

[@michaeldavis9807]

@@austinward9741 you still have 3 opponents, but it is super SUPER easy to get enough cards into your graveyard. A couple ways are all the cantrips you run in cedh. You will have a lot of instants and sorceries in there. Also, you run every possible fetch you can in this deck for two reasons. One, getting them in your graveyard is really good, and two, you need all your lands to have different names because of tainted pact. Also, one of the combos in the deck involves Emry, and she mills you as well. There are also some self mill combos and engines. I built this deck and ive played some games with it, and it plays well against the top tier decks in the format. I would say its probably tier 1.5 not quite top tier, but its up there for sure.

[@austinward9741]

@@michaeldavis9807 Thank you for the clarification. I am still new to Magic because my friends introduced me to the game last year. They got me Primal Genesis for my birthday, which fit into our play group of Feline Furosity, Tasigur control, Lord Windgrace Lands, Jodah legendaries, and other decks like Grevan Rat Colony, Karlov life gain, and other upgraded versions of Commander product. I do not know much of other formats, but watch The Command Zone and other Magic content creators for game play.

[@SenorTallon]

With Aurami of the Dead Tide, a passive way to keep the encore tokens around is Teferi's Veil! It phases out any creatures that attack, so they skip the entire end step and live to fight another day on your turn!

[@austinward9741]

Reminds me of Mischief of the Time Goddess after a Ride of the Valkryies. Skips opponent's turn into your next battle phase.

[@iqcool]

I've already got a deck built for Nev, and I gotta say I didn't think of the superfriends archetype when I first saw him spoiled. After seeing his card spoiled, I watched some videos about the Lore of Nev and found out that his disk was used as an insurance policy for if his home plane was attacked, which it was in the lore, but I took that aspect of his death trigger and interpreted it as just an insurance policy, not the main strategy. With that in mind, I went ahead and have made my very first aristocrats deck in Esper, made to use his ETB trigger to great effect by playing Anointed Procession, Panharmonicon, Felidar Guardian, and lots of token makers, synergies, sac outlets, and other death/ETB synergies as well. And if it all goes wrong, then I can sac Nev and blow up the board.

[@parkerackerman7738]

I think one thing with the Juri deck that's interesting is that the Ozolith is really good there. Gives it at least a little variation from the usual B/R sacrifice stuff.

[@eamonbell6378]

I'm building Bell Borca because my last name is Bell, so it's on theme. Plus, it's an interesting Boros deck for once.

Bazaar Trader is amazing in Blim, I was hoping they would mention it, but he's a primo pick for sure if you are looking to build it.

[@damo9961]

When Nevinyrral comes into play and his 'create a 2/2 for every creature that died this turn' ability goes on the stack, you can sack him or destroy him yourself at instant speed in response, pay the 1 to activate his destroy ability and wipe the board, this will resolve first and you will make a 2/2 for everything he just killed.

[@cinco_de_la_tarde]

I built a budget Araumi deck for a budget EDH league I play in. I think every card you mentioned is on my list of playables. Some (like Massacre Wurm) comes more when we increase the budget but lots of things are super cheap and the deck has been great overall. Another card you didn't mention that has put in the work for me, Consuming Aberration. Players without blockers die and even those with blockers can lose to Altar of Dementia.

[@dacrizz7121]

[@KalElelVigilant]

The Ulamog ad (and voice!) is, by far my new favorite! Hilarious AND on point! Congrats!!!

[@justinanderson2631]

Two things about Nevinyrral: 1) make sure your sac outlets are either Planeswalkers or lands as Nevinyrral will blow up your own conventional sac outlets. 2) All these Planeswalkers and not a single nod to a Liliana walker! (Especially Dreadhorde General, which feels like an Auto include. And I'll never say that about a planeswalker again lol)

Ulamog's voice in the ad is now my headcanon voice for Ulamog.

[@danieltaber4924]

Hamza + Modular Artifact Creatures. They synergize so hard with +1/+1 counter themes, and also become mana positive (becoming Free from the cost reduction, and adding more cost reduction on top!) Lathiel + Spike Feeder. The latter doubles the life gained from counters removed from him, so one cycle around the table makes your board get way out of hand. Nevinyrral wants sac-outlets that are on Lands and Planeswalkers. Phyrexian Tower, Nixy-stix of the Black Oath, et c. Hans Ericsson is the character mentioned in Lhurgoyf's famous flavor text.

[@therealjesus6464]

My friend is a huge modular fan and always wanted to build a deck around it. He was so hyped to see hamza get spoiled bc now he has his commander for the deck :)

[@Nharzhool]

47:43 You still control the Impetus and Vow enchantments, even though they're on someone else's creature. It's how I used to kill people with Zedruu voltron. Auras on Zedruu that give the creature an ability, and donate the aura to someone else. Was hilariously jank.

[@farkulonnthefearsome3934]

lovin' these old movie references! Hot Shots: Part Deux! is on of the most ridiculous movies lol

[@EpicGamerz01]

I like the idea of using Elder-Deep Fiend in the Nevinyral deck. Your opponents don’t see a sac outlet on board so they think they’re safe, then on the end step you can flash out Elder-Deep Fiend with its Emerge cost, saccing Nev. if you can then get him back at instant speed with one of the spells they mentioned, you now get Nev, a bunch of zombies, the Elder-Deep Fiend, and you get to tap down someone else’s lands all on the end step before your turn

[@Orengi-kun]

Another card which works kinda similar to Sundial of the Infinite in Araumi is Teferi's Veil (Enchantment for 1U: Whenever a creature you control attacks, it phases out at end of combat), which prevents the tokens from being sacrificed since they wouldn't be present at the end of the turn. I would consider both in a more "fair" build of the deck, because from what I have been trying out they aren't really all that necessary, since it doesn't take much to go "oops, I win" with certain ETBs, like Peregrine Drake, Gary and Thoughtrender Lamia (which basically reads: your opponents discard their hand). The one thing to keep an eye on is how telegraphed all the broken things Araumi can do are. There is plenty of time for your opponents to prepare if you happen to mill something insane during the first turns of the game.

[@TezzeretDynamite]

Encore says "Sacrifice them at the beginning of the next end step", not Exile. So you get both ETB and death triggers with it.

[@sammcguire3798]

I'm sad there was no reference to "Ach Hans Run!" because that story finally got effectively finished with Eriksson as well as Revenant.

[@merklegaming]

[@Pterrordon12]

I did a 1v1 sealed Commander Legends against a friend. He had Araumi of the Dead Tide, and I had Tuya Bearclaw. We had a complete blast. Such a fun set!

[@Aedryn6210]

For the Blim section, you control auras you cast even if they are put on creatures you don't own or control. so you actually still have to give them control of it. For Blim I would suggest something like akroan horse someone gains control of it and you get tokens that you can donate if you have nothing else.

[@HexQuesTT]

Enrage cards also work rly well with Hans but most of them would kill him too, a darksteel plate or some way of making hans indestructable would be great, especially vigor like you mentioned

[@abhikan7654]

9:45 Josh: Rishkar's so good because he makes your creatures mana dorks. Jiang Yanggu: I'm standing right here you know.

[@DonovanPresents]

That Jared joke 🤣 Good stuff! 😁👍

[@zodiacdemiurge8247]

A good way to finish with a Tuya Bear claw deck could be to use Craterhoof Behemoth to get your monster's power high, then use the new Rhonas to double all the power, then use Xenagos to make her even bigger. You can easily finish someone off with commander damage at that point. Use the cards that let you get extra combat steps, and you can hose down the whole table.

[@dragonman979]

Tokens don’t have any devotion so the Garry tokens don’t add any dmg when they etb and only count the devotion of other black pips on your battlefield. Edit: I am completely incorrect and thanks @Mike van Laar for pointing this out to me.

Araumi also fits pretty well into an Inalla deck, getting more use out of wizards with etb effects that are in your graveyard.

[@typhlocf5062]

For Araumi, u guys say the strategy focuses on self mill and etbs and I agree those are okay, but I think Araumi is an exiles matter cmdr. So yeah Konrad is auto include but so should be desecrated tomb and such. If in sultai, we can include Torrent elemental and rift sweeper. If Tasigur is cmdr, Araumi can be used to force op to choose specific cards for Tasigurs ability. And lastly a great etb to have is Corpse Connoisseur.

[@angelsantizo9812]

I think there´s a mistake at 47:10 when talking about Aura Enchantments; when Jimmy sais : "It´s an enchantment (aura) that they control but you own". Please correct me if I´m wrong (it would be a blessing to be wrong a Zedruu player), but even if you enchant a creature (or player) you dont control, the controller of Aura would still being yourself.

[@DemonicYami7449]

For Lathiel, you can also play the common cars : the instant for 1 white which gives you 5 hp. 1 mana gain 5 hp distribute 5 counters is op

[@roboblade6046]

I'm VERY excited about Juri. They fill 1.5 to to roles in the aristocrats deck; they're both a card that likes seeing other cards die (like blood artist), and a creature that you very much like dying (like doomed dissenter, etc). They're probably best in the 99, but I'm still very happy about the card.

[@declanreiser236]

Some of my favorite tech with zedruu was using blasphemous act cards and then instead of returning the permanent at end of turn you give away to the wrong person permanently. Blim does this even cheaper! For the price of blasphemous act you can take someone's commander and give it to a player that can barely use it : )))))

[@cubiccalico5019]

Note for Sundial of the Infinite: You do not have to end the turn in response at the beginning of the end step. Since "end the turn" effects exile the stack and then skip to cleanup, the "beginning of the end step" never happens, that part of the turn doesn't even happen. therefore, when you end the turn with sundial, "At the beginning of the end step" triggers never get the correct chance to happen. If you look at the Gatherer page for Sundial of the Infinite, this is confirmed to be the case.

For Jared, you get the monarch back and then throw Pariah or Pariahs Shield effects on him so that now opponents can't take monarch back. You can also abuse damage dealing board wipes like Blasphemous Act

[@generalkohn]

Bell Borca can use Cadcade, since while it searches your library, each card is exiled. If you pass by a high CMC, you won't cascade into it, but still get the power buff

[@austinward9741]

Does that power buff stay after the exiled cards from the cascade go on the bottom?

[@goelandz878]

For Lathiel, you might want to put counter on opponen.t creature with Generous Patron as card card effect before an instant wrath. Imoti, has access also to Assyst and Emerge

[@legitimatelycameron6294]

As excited as I am about commander legends, I gotta say, I’m appreciating that Rhythm of War shoutout even more 😂

[@ericware8247]

The land that can tap for anything, but gives people ghosts tokens would be amazing in the red black deck

[@petersteiman2443]

A couple of cards that could work with Erik are Magebane Armor and Bubble Matrix.

[@Sanjuro333]

The way Nevinyrral is worded, you can sac him as his first ability goes on the stack and pay 1 to wipe the board getting you a bunch of 2/2's after all the triggers resolve.

Me: *Sees Juri, Master of the Revue* I see the perfect commander for my home brew! Grenzo: Am I a joke to you?! Me: Yes.

I feel that Judith, the Scourge Diva can fit right into a Juri deck.

[@Slowrath]

Btw, in case you haven't noticed, Hans Eriksson is a reference to the silver bordered card, "Ach Hans, Run!"

[@davidlegitsurname177]

I mean, "Ach Hans Run" and Hans himself are both references to Lhurgoyf.

That moment when you notice Lathiel and Crested Sun Sunmare are drawn by the same artist

[@Drakengod691]

Just came to say the same thing lol

Okay....that ulamog ad was perfect. It was so dumb but in just the right way

Give araumi apostles! +untapping! Just 2 activations in a turn gives 6! Apostles!

[@notjake2089]

Just wanted to point out that Jared actually can double combo off of things like Vigor. The idea being that you still want to make things fight, but actually just use it on your own creatures.

[@jgroen5545]

I do not think that is how that works. You stack the effects, and can only prevent every point of damage only once. If you prevent 10 damage with Vigor, that damage is gone and cannot be prevented again with Jared's effect, so you would only get the counters once.

[@notjake2089]

@@jgroen5545 Damage dealt and damage received are different numbers. If Vigor were to fight something, that thing would still take damage

[@Ushouldntknow470]

With Bell cards that exiled and brought back through a flicker effect would work as well.

[@carloserausquinhoyos3298]

Hans Erickson is from the original flavor text of Lhurgoyf: "Ach! Hans, run! It's the Lhurgoyf!" -Saffi Ericksdotter, last words

[@limpec33]

43:54 the moment today became a RHCP-listening day :D

[@alexanderforbes1452]

Looking forward to Erik, who I assume will be Naya, possibly simic, somewhere down the road. Call him something like "Erik, Beloved Father" or something along those lines.

[@michaelroy1175]

I was watching with headphones while my wife was working, and the Ulamog jokes made me laugh out loud.

[@thatepicwizardguy]

Lucas did the art for both Lathiel AND Sunmare btw so that explains that. Also Jared is the most interesting new commander by far. I want to see a rad Jared deck pop up.

[@ancientswordrage]

It may not be a good play, but I love the idea of Venerated Loxodon in a Hamza deck. If your going wide you may as well leverage convoke

[@thanemortimer3388]

1:12:08 I don't think Phyrexian Portal works with Bell Borca because the piles are facedown when they get exiled so the CMC of the cards is hidden information and wouldn't be noted.

[@Purple.mind...Honored.one.]

the green white on Anjony would work very well with that unicorn, the first plus one not to mention the ultimate

[@Arcdemon44]

I am super excited for Araumi, so much fun shenigans you can do.

[@arthurmusson4981]

For Nevinyrral, since its blowing all your sack outlets up, then you can use land sacrifice outlets like phyrexian tower of miren, the moaning well
