Commanders That Make You Wanna Scoop!

[@cigbhungus3359]

I agree with your assessments of them, but you gotta admit, both Avacyn and Tergrid are kinda baddies🥵. Not as hot as Toxrill though 🥴

[@mtgghouldude]

Indeed they are, Toxrill isn't much of my thing, but you're not wrong 🤣🤣🤣

I have Marath deck that is honestly such a menace. I'm not even trying to hide it, the deck has so much pinging off and growing my board I feel like I'm playing sudoku. Accumulate any amount of mana or +1/+1 doublers and things get so out of hand. No spells need to be cast, and it starts to sneak up on people. Give marath deathtouch and you have a free 1 mana removal for most creatures, and doublers allow marath to never run out of counters to remove.

[@mtgghouldude]

That sounds absolutely terrifying

[@hunterjarvis5357]

I really liked your video you seem cool. i love my zombies. Scarab god my beloved!!!

[@mtgghouldude]

Thanks, and also thanks for commenting! I love me some Scarab God too!

As a Zo-Zu player I built him because I hate simic players

[@spifinatorsxpwindow3379]

😂 aura thief, nothing like putting it on the field against an enchantment player as a threat or just in general at a commander table they want to kill you but absolutely have to oneshot you to do it

[@mtgghouldude]

That's fair, Simic is almost the do everything deck now and days 🤣🤣🤣

[@Joshua-gt7pz]

As a simic player, this is perfectly valid.

[@mtgghouldude]

All is fair in Love and War as some would say 😁😁😁

No shade to the content creator. I'm disappointed that the MTG community now feels empowered to police how others have fun. It's OK to lose. It's OK to build different power levels. It's OK to have a deck you play once a month.

[@mtgghouldude]

Agreed. Unfortunately, there are just those commanders that will always get the hate no matter how you build it. I know plenty of people that have that once a month or every now and then deck. And trust me it's worth it.

[@JushakF]

Go-Shintai of Life's Origin is the first deck I ever built. I won one game without realizing it because I was having too much fun trying to fetch all the Shrines one by one and resolving them. Hate list: Any Sliver commander. I hate slivers. Especially the new one from Modern Horizons 3. Slivers create boring games where either all removal needs to be dedicated to dealing with specific high-impact slivers, the sliver player needs to be removed from the table fast before because if left unchecked they become a problem out of the blue. In my experience it's exceedingly binary deck that either does nothing or threatens the entire table. Marrow Gnawer. Not really that powerful, but just so one-dimensional in its tactics. Combination of Rat Colonies and global Fear for rats means if you're not playing black or artifact creatures, you're prime rat food if you don't keep the rat population in check. In general I dislike decks that are one-dimensional and/or extremely "hot or cold" based on whether or not the table dedicates resources to keep them from reaching critical mass while also being very obvious about it.

[@mtgghouldude]

I love the idea of Slivers but not playing them. I can agree though, you either kill them early or they become a hard threat to counter. On the topic of rats, Colonies aren't that bad, a simple -1/-1 to the board can wipe them out. Relentless Rats are a different story though. But same with Slivers, they do everything or nothing.

[@christopherspeck1287]

There were Eldrazis and an Eldrazi commander deck in Modern Horizons 3 but I don’t think there was any Slivers so I think you might’ve been a tad confused? Admittedly Slivers are super annoying lmao

[@JushakF]

@@christopherspeck1287 Ah, true that. It was from Commander Masters. Played against it in a convention few weeks back when a friend bought both the sliver and Eldrazi deck and just assumed they were both from the same set.

[@JushakF]

​@@mtgghouldude Yeah, my main beef with Marrow-Gnawer is the one-dimensional nature of the deck combined with Fear. I actually like the exact same deck with Karumonix, the Rat King much more since Toxic brings inevitability, but without Fear the opponent actually has the option to block, making the deck more interactive. You still want to kill the rats, but at least you can buy some time and the rats don't automatically choose the player(s) not running black as primary target anymore. With Karumonix the deck also recovers a bit better so the deck doesn't just randomly peter off after one board wipe if they get unlucky with land flood.

[@Joshua-gt7pz]

@JushakF I knew Go-Shintai had potential. I never got around to building a shrine deck, but I kept staring at my card like "This definitely slaps, I just can't figure out how..."

[@austinpotts7346]

Melira stops -1 -1 counters these are slug counter

[@mtgghouldude]

So incorporating Solemnity would be a better counter for a deck like that?

[@Curzyk]

You lost me as a viewer the moment you said that anyone building a deck with Prismatic Bridge lacks creativity. Such generalized judgement is in poor taste. You can say that "most decks I've seen with Prismatic Bridge have lacked creativity", but passing judgement on any/all is, as I said, in poor taste.

[@mtgghouldude]

I want to make it clear that the whole video is part satire part appreciation in a way to each card I covered. I would never outright and whole heartily say you shouldn't play X commander because it lacks creativity. I build and enjoy my Zombie decks. Which if I were to be honest do nothing but lack creativity. I apologize for any offense that may have been taken and wish you well if you do indeed plan on not viewing my content.

[@Joshua-gt7pz]

People like this is why I stay away from LGS commander nights 😂

[@Curzyk]

@@Joshua-gt7pz people like.. what? People that are willing to point out potentially offensive generalizations? People that defend Prismatic Bridge decks? I've never fielded a bridge deck, nor played against one, so I don't really have skin in that game.

[@PinkiePieFan]

​@Curzyk so you never made or played against a bridge deck, BUT you're sure the guy saying those deck tend to be uncreatuve is wrong? Yeah ok buddy.

[@Curzyk]

@@PinkiePieFan I made one, but I didn't field it. Again, my complaint was about passing generalized judgement on any and all players of bridge decks as lacking creativity. Some could simply be exploring different ideas.
