Budget "cEDH" | Sygg vs Tatyova vs Yawgmoth vs Ishkanah

It was so nice to see turn one as basic lands and pass. A nice break from seeking 0 drop rock and turn one commanders

Any particular reason you're a pretentious douche?

[@kevinj4002]

He has a point, there are many many channels that release casual content regularly. But there are sick degenerates like myself who come here to watch people derp off on turn 2.

[@patrickbaillargeon7568]

That doesn't mean someone can't enjoy a change of pace on a channel they follow. It's not like I watch this channel and act like a dick about them playing cEDH. Unlike the other commenter who's apparently made it a habit of talking shit about the content on quite a few videos

[@MekanikKommandoh88]

patrick baillargeon I mean...this is at heart a cEDH channel. Land, Pass isn’t cEDH most of the time, so the “Jeez, it sure is good to see...” posts are kind of weird.

[@JustinHavok]

This is much closer to the type of power I thought you guys were at when I found your channel(based on the name) this is really cool and can open up a very wide range of new decks and creative deck building. Big fan of this newer type of content but the old high power content is equally as good. Overall I love the channel. Keep it up boyz

[@ujai5271]

Pretty sweet game! Love the budget restriction; I think it leads to games with just as much, if not more interaction, but without seeing the same cards every game (he says in a game with Oracle... But at least it was in a Doomsday pile). Looking forward to more episodes!

[@fernandotanigushi8310]

It was the most interesting oracle win i've seen, because, insteed of consultaion win button, Joseph actually had to fight for the win

[@yeetusfeetus6517]

Pretty keen to see the budget lists, sick video.

[@aaronsamuel501]

Love your content guys, keep it up and love the fact you're showcasing competitive decks on a budget! I'm an avid budget Tatyova player and I find the best cheap efficient instant win con for Tatyova, that I base my budget competitive deck around, involves Tatyova, Mystic Sanctuary and Ghostly Flicker with either a Baral or Lotus Cobra on the field (this board state is very easy to assemble in Simic colours) Here's the combo: 1) Cast Ghostly Flicker targeting Mystic Sanctuary and another land. 2) Flicker the lands and when they return target Ghostly Flicker to stack on your deck with Mystic Sanctuary's ETB. 3) Draw the stacked Ghostly Flicker + 1 more card with Tatyova triggers. Then loop step 1 and 2 using the newly untapped lands combined with Cobra's landfall mana or Baral's reduction cost. It will draw your whole deck into your win con (the other creature of Lotus cobra/Baral and sunscorched desert) and when you cast Lotus Cobra it will net you 1 coloured mana every loop. 4) Once you draw your deck out with Tatyova you remove it from the field with something like Chain of Vapor and switch the ghostly flicker targets to Sunscorched Desert and Eternal Witness so you can keep adding back ghostly flicker and continue looping until everyone is pinged to death. If that fails then I have Field of the Dead to create lots of zombies and swing for lethal as backup! It's cheaper than getting extra turn spells (i'd put any spare money into general deck strength like fetches for extra Mystic Sanctuary tutoring and into counterspells or creature tutors), it has less dead draws with lower CMC and win con cards that are mostly useful anyway, and you can play control based/reactive but remain a constant threat for comboing off at instant speed as soon as Tatyova and Cobra/Baral is in play. Would love to see this kind of deck in action again if ever possible and once again, hope this helps any budget Tatyova players struggling to be competitive and thanks for the gameplay!

[@Drazatis]

Not gonna lie, that Sygg gameplay was hype. Loved how archenemy it felt and how you STILL pulled out the win Jospeh.

[@WillianMates]

200 usd sounds reasonable. You can really make a consistent and powerful deck (for the budget) and not break the bank. Also we should notice that some commanders are more budget friendly than others. Would like to see Tasigur in the future, I think u can build him in a super restrictive budget and still have a very competitive commander.

[@Drazatis]

I feel like golden control Tasigur can easily be converted to a budget actually, you just miss out a lot by not having the fetches. Great idea though.

[@WillianMates]

@@Drazatis My main idea is that the basic plan is budget: infinite mana with Tasigur to "draw" the deck and the usual finishers are also very cheap. Also we are in G to ramp and color fixing, plus dimir has transmute with is a decent budget alternative to the really high expensive tutors.

[@CosmicConical]

I agree with you but I'm down to see where this goes. Ultimately I feel that I'd rather there be a pattern of budget episodes and power episodes instead of season locks, but I suspect it won't really make much difference in practice.

Only cEdh is limiting and sooo boring...always the same card the same commander and the same win con over and over and over again

[@The_Grackler]

@@Hitzel ultimately this video is what I like to see in commander. I thought it was going to be less competitive, but it really isn't. This channel is a good representation of what most peoples commander pods look like- I'm my experience and that's what I like to see.

[@Hitzel]

@@SxTheBo I disagree. To me, it's like saying books are boring because every sentence ends the same few kinds of punctuation. There's so much interaction and decision making in a cEDH game, and so many commanders are viable compared to the character counts of most competitive games that I really can't stop caring about all that when the KO screen looks the same.

I love that an edited annotation "In this instance Thassa's Oracle does not win the game" is required

[@Frommerman]

Commander recommendations: Horobi, Death's Wail: Lets you play a heavy anti-creature prison strategy using a ton of unplayable garbage like Urborg (the original one, not the tomb), Cauldron of Souls, and Squee's Toy. Momir Vig, Simic Visionary: Has obviously been done to death by all kinds of players, but having access to infinite tutors in a budget limited format seems powerful. Anje Falkenrath: Half the deck is already garbage Madness cards, letting you improve the quality of the rest of the deck. I doubt you'd even need to change much about a stock list honestly. Lavinia of the Tenth: Might be the easiest prison strategy under this limitation, as it turns cheap flicker cards into powerful prison effects. Also randomly hoses red.

[@emilysmith2965]

Additional note for Lavinia: turns most mana rocks and Treasures off.

Id love to see Marath chew through counters if you can do that on a budget.

[@chiknsmack]

$200 without the commander or basic lands was the rule. We do a similar thing at my LGS; $50 limit, based on mtggoldfish prices, with one commander or companion outside the budget. You need a screenshot of the decklist (though no-one really cares that much since it's a casual format) because prices can move around quite a bit and what was $50 one week might be $53 the next.

[@TonyScimeca]

that fight over Thassa's oracle was epic

[@stryfer1989]

It felt so weird listening through that first round compared to your previous content. "Plays a land and passes the turn" instead of "Plays as his land for turn and cracks it to shock in a to the field, then plays a Mana Crypt, taps it to cast xyz to search for zyx and passes the turn." I do love how I can actually relate to these games though :D Regular EDH has a lot more back and forth that creates pretty wild stories XD

[@mikestephens267]

Nice video, interesting commanders. Any Chance of seeing the original non-budget lists on which they were based?

[@enoeht]

So I noted one "inconsistency", during the exchange between Vilis and Yawgmoth activations, Yawgmoth should still have been able to kill Vilis if Adam wished it. Yawgmoth gets activated with the Vilis ability targetting Yawgmoth on the stack, Nest of Scarabs triggers, then Vilis activates on top of it giving Yawgmoth -3/-3. The stack then clears down to Nest of Scarabs which makes a token, then the stack goes down to Yawgmoth's ability. Adam should be able to maintain priority with that activation on the stack and continue to activate Yawgmoth sacrificing scarabs to give Vilis more counters before finally going down to -4/-4 and dying. Not that it matters since Joseph won on the next turn anyway, but I found this exchange puzzling. I much prefer this sort of budget cEDH game to the typical "let's all play tier 0/tier 1 etc" games, but Yawgmoth is a powerhouse even on a budget due to how he interacts with relatively inexpensive cards.

[@arcs696]

No, in order for Yawgmoth to activate again, he will need another creature to be sacrificed in response to Villis' second activation. Remember Villis second activation is in response to Yawgmoth's ability. Therefore Yawgmoth have not actually resolved putting a -1/-1 counter yet and Nest of Scarab cannot create another token for him to sacrifice until that ability resolves.

[@arcs696]

Actually I just rewatched that bit, it looks like he didn't active 4 times in response to Yawgmoth. He only did 3 times which is not enough to kill Yawgmoth. So you're right he can still kill Villas

[@mf_dom08]

I’d love to see an Oloro, Ageless Aesthetic lifegain build. I’m trying to build one but I have a limited budget and don’t know how to stay competitive enough with my playgroup

[@MekanikKommandoh88]

You can use cards like Exquisite Blood and Vito in there combined with some tutors to fetch for combo. But life gain overall just isn’t very good as a play style in EDH.

[@MekanikKommandoh88]

@ Indeed. Life is a resource to be exploited in most competitive formats. Even the extremely powerful Heliod Company deck in Modern usually doesn’t instant win when it gets infinite life off a Heliod and Spike Feeder. Too many ways around it.

[@calebhalbrook788]

Not sure whether there was a greater chance of Joseph having necromancy in his hand or drawing one of two cards in his library for the win, tough decision great game.

[@waltercardcollector]

Hey at 2:35 what's "cracking the pile?"

[@darkmagicpi]

Doomsday is used to win by building a pile of cards usually including some draw and fast mana to do everything at once. Getting into the pile requires you to draw a card after resolving doomsday, cracking the last tiny shell covering your egg of victory.

Loved Seeing Ishkanah. She is good great wiping out opponents with combos. Not spider tribe.

[@nolifeSnorlax]

Soooo basically regular commander with a few infinite combos? Honestly there's just better "regular" optimized decks that can kill turn 5-8 that are not defined cedh. I feels a bit like the decks are worse than they need to be because you've got the "cedh" meta in mind.

[@WHITEKNIGHT95]

I was thinking this too. Cedh is so niche and meta minded that when you try to water it down it becomes alot less powerful than say your average beater deck. Idk the game was fairly interactive with decent synergies still.

[@WHITEKNIGHT95]

And honestly i saw a couple of ikoria commons that were forced plays i think. Idk why 200 bucks is alot of breathing room especially when you aren't going 100 miles an hour

[@WHITEKNIGHT95]

@SupaFly Supreme yeah I would agree it's a whole different type of game. I mean there is a blade blossom deck that goes around and cedh that can be pretty big Agro. There are a couple of outliers, but in the end competitive means fast and you're right there are times where a 8 power deck can overrun a super tuned deck. This is especially true if they're not playing blue. I've gone one-v-one again a cedh deck that wasnt playing blue and i just threw em around and killed by turn 6 bc i countered a major piece.

Great game guys, like seeing the interaction yawgmoth is powerful, everyone seriously respected tatyova kind of kept her off of much action 😂, black and blue does it again smuggler's copter is busted, sygg is really strong and of course the oracle takes it again! Have to agree that it would be nice to see some games not won by Oracle, but overall nice gameplay. My vote for a budget build would be kinnan, I feel like a lot of the pieces to that deck are pretty cheap and maybe running a cool win con instead of craterhoof would make for entertaining to watch gameplay, maybe a subtle artifact theme with all the Mana rocks, more controlling with lots of mass bounce and or UG prison effects like back to basics and maybe choke/that leviathan/whale that turns all lands into islands 😁 rockdork Lord will still have Mana 😜

[@jlbrooks74]

Hey! Budget Oracle! 🙄 What's so hard about playing non Oracle win cons? We know Oracle is good and wins games. Powered down or not you're looking for Oracle and one other card to auto win. I may be wrong here but I'm sure most viewers watch this channel and others like it to potentially see card interactions they haven't thought of at work or lines of play they had not considered before. Personally I'm all for fast mana and fast races to the win just as much as I like grindy battles for value. They are both great and even more so using win cons we don't often see that are strong (as long as Oracle is not your basis for wincon strength). Again it might just be me but when I see any intro showcase Oracle as a "potential" wincon or laughably claim it as a "backup" my interest level wanes. I'll still watch but am basically looking for the Oracle turn the whole time 😕 Love the channel. Love the editing and explanations. Don't love the constant fall back to consult lines. I think the game that set the stage for me was the "tribal" decks...merfolk 😅 k Anyway. 2 cents. Keep posting the good stuff 👊

Wow. That ishkana player just threw the game. You don’t just put back oracle because you’re afraid of necromancy... that was genuinely one of the worst plays I’ve ever seen.

[@billkakke6050]

He had 2 cards left in his library and I had gone through his whole graveyard and exile looking for necromancy which wasn't there. So shuffling 2 cards back in takes it from a 50/50 chance to a 1/4. And if necomancy was in his hand which it was (revealed at the end of the game) it was over if I didn't either way. If you want more insight on our decision making we stream every Sunday :)

[@tylerdenneson7320]

You could have reacted to necromancy. I’m not criticizing your ability to read the situation... I’m criticizing your reaction to it. You could have shuffled it back in at instant speed. I understand the thought, but without knowing that mnemonic betrayal was next, there’s no reason for you to shuffle it in when you did.

[@TheBuildKing]

Isn't it kind of insulting to to the casual EDH community to talk about budget when the majority of CEDH groups are readily accepting of the use of proxies. To talk about cards like Rampant Growth as being inefficient. That kind of attitude is why a good number of EDH players want CEDH to be a separate format

[@MekanikKommandoh88]

It basically is.

[@MageSkeleton]

when i think of "budget" decks i think of literally commanders you could get that are about $2.00 or less and it would be great to see what "budget" options there are. But when your literally using commanders that are better with better cards and use "budget" builds of course they're still going to have that influence. Enjoy the dislike and please pick commanders that can be built "competitively viable" that are as affordable as what the rest of the deck should be. Special exceptions for commanders you can acquire through a precon that somehow retains an affordable value such as Elsha of the Infinite which you can get in some stores still at about $43.00 ish.

[@somedudeontheinterwebs45]

Sygg is 98 fucking cents I don’t know what you’re talking about EDIT: to elaborate,, yawgmoth is the most expensive commander here at 12$ or so. “Budget” in CEDH means 200$ or less. Because if you’re trying to build a competitive deck you can’t make the deck any cheaper. There will always be must-run staples that need to be in the deck to function. These decks are the cheapest CEDH decks I’ve ever seen. Ever. And they’re 200$ average. That’s reality, and if you think “budget cedh” means below 3 digits then you clearly don’t know what format we’re talking about here

[@yawgmoththeineffable8660]

Do you know that cEDH means "competitive EDH", right? I get it, this should be budget decks, but they're far from competitive. "Budget EDH" would make more sense as title for this video.
