I have a friend who built Atemsis and he calls it his Exodia of Magic.

[@Elixer]

Ughh, atemsis is a nightmare to play against

[@kingofbudokai]

Except this exodia only beats 1 player at a time, so you have to survive against multiple players for several turns in order to win with it if it's your primary win con. Most commander games are 3-4 player minimum.

[@warrioraidan]

@@kingofbudokai He systematically eliminated us in order of who could interact with him. Yeah it's been awhile since I watched Yugioh but the 1v1 aspect I'm guessing is the real reason Exodia is kinda OP.

[@fragarach97]

As an ex-Yugioh player I can tell you... Exodia is really, really shit.

wait - why did you mention Haldan despite doing nothing without his partner, but skipped Zndersplt, Will Kenrith and Toothy, who atleast can do something without their partner?

[@abrahamrokhsar9119]

actually, Haldan is not useless. Because you are in blue, you can steal your opponent's Paco and use it to generate fetch counters.

[@AtomTomZeitalter]

@@abrahamrokhsar9119 Even though this scenario is extremely niche and will probably never happen, it is techically correct and I don't like it.

[@Farycane]

toothy is just awesome :D so many card draw

[@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai]

This was the funniest video yet. The Haldan bit really got me. It’s so funny that if you’re not playing his partner, he just stands there looking for him while he does nothing because he can’t make fetch counters. The art is so perfect.

[@ms.aelanwyr.ilaicos]

2:00 You still have to pay the mana cost of the artifacts you are playing through Emry's ability. I wish it were a free ability, but sadly it isn't.

[@gormold4163]

Andy Sprouse at least that makes her like four dollars cheaper.

[@skaddy9549]

But still she dominates games

[@andreusemanuel4868]

Don't worry you will probably reduce the cost until everything become free

[@xatex1000]

Andy Sprouse that is why you play free artifacts,and cards that let you untap Emry.

[@solomonshemano7885]

Chisei is a cumulative upkeep deck where you remove age counters not ice counters.

[@Dreznin]

While Iso + Reversal is infinite, Kaho is not since she doesn't copy the spell and instead is basically just a 3-card tutor. Still great, but sadly not infinite on it's own - instead grab Fabricate and Mystical Tutor so you can fetch your combo pieces right before your turn (Tutor at end of opponent's turn to put Dramatic Reversal on top, untap and activate to cast Fabricate for Isochron, drop the combo and go to town).

[@netopian]

Blue Commanders in 10 words or less: you already won by going blue

i've played Unesh since it came out. Now my fave win-con is Rite of Replication with kicker targeting Unesh, then cast Thassa's Oracle :)

[@IQuarent]

@@judegraham2951 Why do you play with him?

[@judegraham2951]

The Amazing G because I live in a state where magic isn’t as popular and there are 3 game stores within an 1:30 of my house. And he goes to the closest one. And he’s a homie and I enjoy his company. No matter how frustrating the deck

[@JoeyjojoShabadoo7]

“Because I’m a terrible person” - LOL 5:10

[@camfunme]

I have never seen Meloku played without Patron of the Moon and a 2 mana land e.g. Temple of the False God. As this combo makes infinite 1/1 fliers.

[@solomonshemano7885]

Kaho puts cards in the yard after casting them so it isn’t an isochron scepter in the command zone. It’s mostly a control deck. Kaho does combo with mystical tutor to search up mana severance with an all land and thassa’s oracle deck

[@boredcryptek5513]

"Is two lands and two mana worth getting and Expropriate for free? Absolutely! Let's do this."

[@Solrex_the_Sun_King]

I can't wait to see more of these, that was fantastic. Favorite mono blue commander has to be braids, but I've never played it. I do have a Tetsuko deck though, that one's fun

[@thescribe509]

This sounds like him venting about having to deal with blue commanders.

[@ghostjokes5226]

An absolute masterpiece. Mitch please make this a series

[@perrinjulien4195]

I'm still a modern player and I like to bolt Vendilon Clique. Now I'm a beginner of EDH, and I love to bolt Vendilon Clique. My favortie blue one : Mr Nezahal. Can't be countered, come back easily, draws. A legend pretend he is also doing coffee ! Nice concept video. I would love to see the next one.

[@seanmurphy3430]

I don't think the Kaho thing works; Isochron Scepter casts a copy of the imprinted spell, whereas Kaho just casts it, meaning it goes into your graveyard once you're done with it and you can't use it again.

[@austynfontenot2710]

Mono-blue haldan deck called "dude where's my dog"

[@slidshockingkrow9535]

With Dream Leash, Totally Lost, Increasing Confusion, Frantic Search, ....and Imaginary Pet. Dewit.

[@thekappa3369]

5:31 Except Kaho doesn't work that way since you have to put the spell in your graveyard when it resolves due to the fact that unlike isochron she doesnt cast a copy of the spell but rather the original spell itself.

[@wazzledog1007]

Yeah, I love playing Kaho. Her competitive line is reseting her to spam nexus of fate, but the cooler line is getting some untappers going and summoning the unspeakable from the deck.

[@werepyre007]

Hey Mitch, love the video and the channel. One point I'd like to make for those who watched (which I'm sure was just you being brief) Kaho is NOT an isochron scepter on a body. Any spell exiled with Kaho can be used with her ability a total of one time, and as it resolves will be put into the graveyard. Just making sure nobody tries to make some crazy combo just to have it not work on them :)

[@jj12343211]

Did my boy Meloku dirty. Him and Storm Cauldron have given me many fun memories. XD Also, I liked it best when you framed them as 'asking for X or Y'. I liked that a lot more than just saying 'this commander does this, it says that is what it does'. Fun video idea, though.

[@HienNguyenHMN]

I like the Unspeakable as a hidden commander in an Izzet deck. You get access to Firemind's Foresight, so you can tutor for the "ritual" spells that summon The Unspeakable. (Reach Through Mists, Peer Through Depths, Sift Through Sands)

[@jayperz]

This was a very cool idea for a video. I’ve only been playing magic for about 6 months (primarily commander) and something like this not only introduces me to new possible commanders but gives me new ideas to play against some of my friends best decks that rule the table. Thanks for this! If you ever wanted to make this a series I’d be for it!

[@southernxsouth4729]

Blue is my favorite color. I needed this😬😬😬😬

[@Isaac-qq5yk]

Talrand. You play all of the blue stuff goodies, but get to go aggro like mono red!

[@cameronburns1278]

PSA: Taniwha is pronounced Tah-nee-far. WH is like PH in that word.

[@johnstarinieri7360]

I run Tromokratis and I must say, your description was very accurate

[@MechbossBoogie]

My favorite right now is Thassa, God of the Sea. It's one of the few commanders that I've played around that gets me those sick W's, but also doesn't draw the ire of the entire table as soon as I put her in the command zone. I'm looking at you Kenrith. I built the deck as a testament that you could build almost any archetype in mono-blue. I built it as an aggro deck, because unblockable for 2 mana can get a lot of nasty things through. Just need to tutor up my equipment (blackblade, loxodon warhammer, inquisitors flail, fireshrieker, or whatever sword I feel like pulling out) protect them with counterspells, get Thassa in and online, equip, take an extra turn if I have to, swing commander lethal on whatever opponent is left after everyone has gotten through taking shots at each other. If I can't quite get Thassa online I still have creatures like Blighted Agent, Dominating Licid (so I can swing my opponent's commander for commander lethal, or just outright steal my opponent's combo out from under them), Cryptoplasm to copy anything ridiculous my opponents might have, and some other creatures that swing to get me card advantage via looting, scrying, what have you. It's actually a really fun deck to play and I haven't gotten the grumbles from people at the table when I play it, so it must not be terrible to play against.

[@ROMANTIKILLER2]

somehow now I want to build a mono-blue horsemanship tribal, which is a real thing as everyone knows.

[@jonmagic1123]

“Hey do u want me to roast every blue commander?”

[@zaclock-4228]

"Favorite mono-blue commander" sounds like an oxymoron to me. Tetsuko Umezawa is probably the exception.

[@kingfuzzy2]

Zhou Yu, Arcanis, and rayne are mine. If I can fit alexi in a dimir deck she will be one too.

[@localsonly9951]

Hi, Mitch. I am sure you have covered this already but I couldn't find it. But I'd like to hear about how you started in magic, your introduction to EDH, and how your experience/play group affected how you play/deckbuild on a budget. Also, what was your first build that worked for you? Thanks for the content! (If anyone could point me to where he covers these things, I'd appreciate it)
