I have an Ith deck, it's pretty fun. You don't need the fatestitcher to combo with wake trasher, however, just attack with your commander since he has vigilance and it can untap itself. Illusionist's Bracers is a great fit for similar reasons.

[@apjapki]

I thought this didn't work but it does. Thanks!

[@alexwilder806]

For the Ith combo, Ith can target itself with it's ability, so you don't even need Fatestitcher!

[@edhdeckbuilding]

true but it has to attack. i guess it has vigilance so that wouldn't matter.

[@regaleagle6533]

@@edhdeckbuilding geode golem is another decent way to get out high cost commanders regardless of color.

[@riukenavatar8625]

Great video, love this series. I'd be interested to see how many "creature becomes tapped/untapped" triggers there are in WU since Ith can infinite himself.

[@Cavendiish]

Kazuul was already in episode 20 :D Don't know if this is intentional or an oversight ^^'

[@edhdeckbuilding]

lol. yep huge oversight there. good to know i have viewers that are on the ball.

[@alexMendoza-wl5oj]

I like that white vampire. Put some equipment search in, put on helm of the host and let's go!

[@dustenhv5986]

I just started building ith, thank you for the perfect timing demo

[@olafthemoose9413]

combine Ith with mesmeric Orb. Attack with Ith, do the dance of tapping hin to untap himself. mill your deck until you hit a shuffle Titan. repeat until the shuffle Titan is the last card in your deck. Cast sevinnes recalamtion targeting thassas Oracle and win. ez 2 card combo that actually wins.

[@jeffwild2531]

Always wanted to make a deck with the cards Norrit Maddening imp Nettling imp Arcum's whistle Forcing your opponents creatures to attack or to destroy them if they don't. Would be an interesting build on your channel

[@solomonsomers7033]

I have a Kazuul mono red "oops every Planeswalker" deck. It is currently playing every single Planeswalker except big Karn because I don't have him (including Tibalt The Chaotic). It's main win condition is using mass destruction spells to blow up everything except my planeswalkers. Fun deck that is so bad but sometimes wins if it can protect 2 or 3 decent planeswalkers before wiping everything

[@Krunschy]

Waa thinking the same thing. Why go through all the trouble of forcing your opponents attack, when you could simply play cards that are OP when they don't?

[@JSBozick]

Dude, that Kazuul deck sounds seriously brutal! I love it. Might add that one to the build list.

[@Zenondikar]

With Illusionist's Bracers Ith can untap himself and another attacking creature. This lets you exile infinite permanents with Mangara of Corondor, untap infinite permanents with Fatestitcher, draw infinite cards with Azami, Lady of Scrolls and so on.

[@dustenhv5986]

How is that supposed to work?

[@foxi1694]

Ith would have to have vigilence and be attacking right?

[@Zenondikar]

@@dustenhv5986 Ith has vigilance, attack with Ith and another creature such as maranga of corondor, activate ith's ability untapping himself, Illusionist's Bracers copies the ability. Target the other creature. They're both attacking, but now untapped. Let that resolve, use corondor's ability targeting an opponent's permanent, it doesn't exile itself till the ability has resolved and is still an attacking creature. So you can untap them both by holding priority on corondor's ability. Exile each permanent your opponents control.

[@Zenondikar]

@@foxi1694 Yes. Ith has vigilance.

[@foxi1694]

@@Zenondikar oh sorry am blinf

[@johnbuscher]

I love Trove of Temptation for forcing control players to attack into me. It’s great!

[@matthewgallaway3675]

Good job taking control away from the control players

[@Threadoflength]

I'm surprised there was no mention of War's Toll for Kazuul. Probably the best card in the deck for him.

[@Xaxares]

With Ith, Infiltration lens could be interesting as he can trigger the "Becomes blocked" before removing it. In the same vein, Tolarian Entrancer could be interesting. Also for Mavren, if you're going to put Halo fountain in, you could also put Rabble rousing, it could increase the number of tokens you have by quite a lot.

111 likes. nice. Best content as always. Love it.

[@Krunschy]

If you're looking for a game ender with Ith, get a Mesmeric Orb in there. It mills any permanents controller whenever they untap it, so you can mill your entire library when he attacks to Sevinne's Reclamation a Thassa's Oracle or something like that.

[@danielthomas2816]

grate white vampire's deck thow i rather stay with my white black still grate deck keep up the good work .

[@alexMendoza-wl5oj]

More cliffs for the cliff tyrant

[@digitaldespot6154]

I wonder if Exert creatures could have a home in an Ith deck

[@kamakazi339]

I have a Kazuul enchantments deck! Wake Thrasher with myriad lol

[@ELFudgeOreos]

Crackdown Construct also works with that infinitely large tap untap combo.

[@TrulyVerity]

I made a Kazuul deck after you featured him on commander cards

[@draverraj]

Ith + Tolarian Entrancer + Nemesis Mask

[@gavinforbes5645]

I have a Mavren Fein vampire tribal deck, mainly because I love the conquistador aesthetic of the Ixalan vampires. It’s got a lifegain subtheme and a bunch of anthems to make my mediocre vampires a bit more relevant. Cathar’s Crusade is a house, and I’ve really enjoyed Pyre of Heroes to turn the vampire tokens or other crappy vampires into bigger and better vampires.

[@deckardclouser4007]

I'm brewing an Elenda Dusk Rose deck right now for the same reason! My main restriction is that I can only use the Ixalan vampires and cards from the set or match flavor, like Vito. Are there any other cards you find really strong in your deck?

[@gavinforbes5645]

@@deckardclouser4007 I’ve done much the same, I’m using most of the white cards from Ixalan block that depict vampires, even the crappy ones like Devine Verdict. I am using Welcoming Vampire and Unholy Officiant from Innistrad though, the pool of mono-white Vampires isn’t great. Last time I played I was really pleased with Glorifier of Dusk - being able to make it flying and vigilant makes it a great attacker and blocker, and with a few Cathar’s Crusade counters on it it can be a real threat.

[@ehecatzin]

I'm really curious for Nihiloor, I built it together with my nephew (we both had a bunch of theft pieces) and it turned out to be miserable to play with and against.

[@KryptOKnight184]

campfire from the upcoming baldurs gate set should probably also go in the ith deck

[@Milsac]

Have you already done a vid on Isperia the inscrutable?

[@ManjMau]

Kazuul reminds me a lot of a red version of my Darien deck.

[@grumblingtag4061]

I Built Mavren As Cleric Tribal As Mavren Would Just Attack By Himself To Get The Trigger And Being A 1/1 With Lifelink Goes A Long Way With Clerics Also The New Archivist Of Oghma Fits In Which Is Awesome Great Vid

[@foxi1694]

Do you have list somewhere, im interested

[@Sir-Darmek]

I fell like mace of the valiant would be a great fit in the mavren deck. I run it in my edgar deck and that thing is a house

[@Arosium]

morrrrrreeeee of thessseeeeeee

[@curtissearle6462]

I wish you could suspend Ith from the command zone. If we get commander ninjistu we should get commander suspend!
