Video by Paul - Planeswalker Project
Decklist in the description! Today, Paul from the Planeswalker Project, takes an in depth look at another amazingly fun Commander Deck Tech for Magic: The Gathering. This EDH deck features the tragic Commander, Ezuri, Claw of Progress. Once a freedom fighter on Mirrodin, Ezuri has since been completed by New Phyrexia. Now he serves to bolster the Phyrexians ranks, evolving those smaller creatures into truly devastating monsters.

I legitimately thought I was watching the professor once the music started lol. Cool deck.

[@simonecasolo3122]

nice deck, pretty similar to my Kraj. have you thought about adding a Rishkarl? I would really like to see next a queen marchesa deck tech!!

[@scottdaniels1138]

I know it's a cool deck when they first came out I bought this one and made the infinite turns combo and accident though, but helped me out in the end. Thanks for giving Ezuri the spotlight he is always overlooked like most great and cheap commander cards.

[@Fauna_CR]

DannyForTheWin Overlooked might be a bit of an overstatement, seeing as he's the #1 Simic colored commander.

[@scottdaniels1138]

He is dang I need to be more active in the internet

[@N0madic]

The deck looks fun. I would love to see a Seton, Krosan Protector deck as I have fondness weirdo tribal decks.

[@decomposingbrains]

He's aawesome, alo note that most times you can interchange him with Edric Spymaster of Trest (at least he's an alternative commander in my spymaster's deck), note: comment pre-watching the video... After watching the video: add cards like shorestalker triton for OPness (low unblockables, this one with hexproof)

[@fragarach97]

This deck tech needs more Fable of Wolf and Owl. Not enough Fable of Wolf and Owl.

[@electronicshaman]

Love it! I'd add Simic Sky Swallower, just for nostalgia 😊

[@FathomMage]

I currently have a more token centered elf tribal version of this deck. It's pretty fun! Also, Mycoloth is a great win condition!

[@CocoaMix86]

this deck looks really fun! Might have to try it some time

[@riverrumer6286]

I would love to see a Depala the dwarf pilot commander deck, considering the current release of aethor revolt. completing the kaladesh set.

[@NicksMagicstorytime]

No infect or proliferate? Some of my favorite creatures in mine Thrummingbird, Viral Drake, Blighted Agent, Spawnwrithe, Whirler Rogue, Cultivator of Blades, Simic Manipulator, and Walking Ballista.

[@hiddenleaf414]

Phloid82 haha i have all of these in my Ezuri deck. Plus a Managorger, Hooded and Lifeblood hydra.

[@rionnachelliot8951]

Simic Ascendancy. TBH this is the only commander that I think makes it viable.

[@danrutkowski6295]

Professor, is that you?

[@purpleboye_]

Cover Horde of Notions. He's really fun.

[@stevenvaughn9080]

Could you do a deck tech for Meren of clan Nel Toth?

[@natanoj16]

Really good video ^^ Like the list and such, but the music is a bit laud making it hard to hear everything you say ^^

[@pennastar]

Watched this video again and I noticed that you said treature when announcing Dryad Arbor! Did you do this on purpose?

[@RobertoGonzalez-cm2nr]

What about a prossh, skyraider of kher

[@thanegriggs3044]

can you guys do a commander deck tech of rafiq of the many or zur the enchanter

[@samwoodfield7332]

Primal Vigor and copy enchantment

[@emmarubyleonard-hill5862]

I never payed attention to how creepy his art is

[@operationivy098]

Damnation GG You're playing blue! If you aren't going to talk about control at all at least bring up Draining Whelk or something, gotta counter those board wipes or you're gonna lose! You also seemed to miss some key strategies of the cards you went over, like Deepglow Skate hits permanents too, like planeswalkers and artifacts. I like the style of the video but the deck is quite vanilla, pretty much the pre-con.

[@quentinmclaughlin5665]

Ulasht, The Hate Seed.

[@MossyRiverRock]

Get a very TCC vibe from this, not just because of the same use of music.

[@toxicsledgeful]

Varilak it's an exact rip off minus the voice

[@tempestandacomputer6951]

I don't think that is a problem tbh

[@MossyRiverRock]

Tempest and a Computer Not saying it is, just an observation.

[@elliottreadings8029]

How much would this deck cost?

[@purpleboye_]

Too much. But for the original pre-con, $35. Don't bother with most of these suggestions if you don't have them already.

[@VVhirl]

Elliott Readings you can get some of these cards for cheap, if you look for a 20 dollar upgrade on mtggoldfish I'm sure there's one there

[@allanpaz5621]

Like $250 no fetches

[@ethangrasmick770]

so a friend of mine made this deck, and the only way it can win is to try and pull off the combo for infinite turns, which never happens. what I'm saying is it's a bad deck, and I looked at this list; it doesn't look too bad but he just can win or come close to winning

[@Zakading]

Yeah, Ezuri is incredibly powerful and his ability can escalate ridiculously quickly but the problem is that, being that strong, he will ALWAYS get shot off the board immediately. It's usually worth it to even kill him with a large board wipe because of how powerful he is. I'm now using him and Meren in my Atraxa deck. They work pretty well in there, as I only need one Experience counter to get things slowly going and can easily revive them thanks to having black available.
