The reason skullclamp is still incredibly good in this deck is because it functions as a sac outlet reading: [1], sacrifice an Egg: Draw two cards

[@jerilee5057]

That’s what I’m saying. He’s cool with Perilous Foray which is 5cmc and 1 to sac for a basic land. But Skullclamp for 1cmc and 1 equip for two cards is outta the question? 🤔

[@ss5gogetunks]

Yeah I disagree with him too, this feels like the best deck for a Skullclamp I've ever seen

[@shilohartisan]

[@ThePJV13]

I been testing the deck by proxys and Skullclamp is really one of the best cards of the deck, like Nesting Dragon, you have enough ways to sacrifice creatures to be used with the big ones

[@EvanPlaysPc]

I hugely disagree on your view on skullclamp, I get you don't like it's the only sequence, but that's what this deck does, if you don't want to kill eggs then it's not quite the right Commander, if you kill more than 2 eggs with clamp, the card is worth it. The card is generically insane in this deck, especially since it will have plenty of sac outlets. I can agree on the other draw outlets though Also btw recursion like road of return is not card draw, the card is definitely playable, but shouldn't be treated in the same group as skullclamp

[@xx-cj6ew]

Skullclamp also serves as an insurance policy here against another potential weakness of this deck: board wipes. Sticking it on the commander is also a decent way to ensure you get something for the inevitable hate which will be directed her way.

[@Sentinel851]

I'd definitely agree with you on that. some people remember that skullclamp gives -1 to toughness, and gives card draw, but it also has a +1 power on it. considering you're probably dropping in some creatures with either double strike, trample, or just are going to swing face, that +1 damage can add up, and it means once you're past the early stages, even if they remove a big creature, you get more value out of it. add to that it's such a cheap way to kill the eggs, (and gets around indestructable from Avacyn, if you get her out) and I think it'd be amiss to not include it. (I also run Martial Coup, as a good board wipe, and being able to turn my large mana into cards is always a good option)

[@michaelogara9056]

Playing with skull clamp the card is great, it refills my hand, and I get big boys out, I love it, but I do see DJ's argument

[@jeffreylong1478]

Boardwipes are a strength of the deck if you have ways to turn your creatures into eggs haha 😆

Correction: Etali is just GOOD. Almost always get value from it regardless if you have big stuff on your deck

Rather than Wrath of God, I'm running Divine Reckoning so you can choose Atla, and nuke all your eggs.

[@Brandonyoungblood]

Nice video DJ. What I appreciate about your videos is your content is so diverse. I think you do a great job at covering the many different styles of EDH.

[@alecolson8360]

Super insightful Deck Tech! Saw the preview for this card and thought it wasn't interesting at all. Now I think it's the perfect big creature deck that still has the answer for your enemy

[@Drakengod691]

Thank you for this. I had too many people ideas for this commander and now I think I can narrow it down better.

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

Also, I love how many directions you can go! You can just have fun and put whatever big creatures you want! Populate eggs, create copies of creatures and populate them! You can have a small creature package focused on one thing, and can easily rely on getting those creatures. I like Bramble Sovereign, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, and Feldon of the Third Path in this deck to make copies of other creatures, and Trostani, Selesnya's Voice and Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage to populate the eggs before you bring out creatures, and after that to populate the creature tokens that you made from copying creatures. There's sac engines like the usual ones you'd use, as well as Thermopod, Skullclamp, Marauding Raptor, and Thornbite Staff. X burn board wipes I like with this commander too. I also love Giant Adephage because It's huge and makes lots of big creature tokens by Itself, and is gross when you populate them, Nesting Dragon makes eggs which you can populate, god-eternal oketra, illharg, the raze-boar, and god-eternal rhonas keep going back to your deck to be replayed and go pretty well with your commander, Hoarding Dragon lets you get key artifacts like Ashnod's Altar, Skull Clamp, and Thousand-Year Elixer, Sun Titan lets you bring back important cheap pieces and goes well with a landfall package and lands that fetch other lands, and Rampaging Baloths makes decent sized tokens.

[@positivereality6360]

This looks like such a blast to pilot. So many avenues of creative shenanigans that you could endeavor

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

I forgot about the changelings. I didn't even think of using those as creatures. You make a good point on the sac outlets in this deck since although it is a creature based strategy, the creature count is not very high. I also like your reasoning about not using Skullclamp and the usual target removal that exiles. I think these are all great points! Thanks for pointing that out DJ! And yeah I think we get it at this point DJ that Tragic Arrogance is much better than people think. I know you love that card! I've put it in some of my decks since you first mentioned the card. Oh man! Now I want to turn all of my creatures into eggs when a board wipe happens! I agree on this deck being hard to build, but fun to tune. I've been having fun for the past week figuring out how to build around this commander! Great video again DJ!

[@MTGSavage]

Playing tutors that put creatures on top of your library like Brutalizer Exarch, Scroll Rack, Sensei’s Divining Top, etc. are very good with this deck concept as well. Love the deck concept!

[@catoticneutral]

Worth mentioning that the Dinosaur cards from Ixalan built around the enrage mechanic like Raging Swordtooth can also be used to hatch eggs. Not sure of any of them are efficient methods but hey flavor i guess.

[@TheBalogna7]

Alta just looks like so much fun. You can go many different routes at numerous budget levels and she will still function well. I am really glad you brought up the discussion about polymorph decks not needing many creatures. I have seen a lot of lists out there that are running a lot of small creatures or mana dorks. Also, another reason to run Goblin Bombardment is Polyraptor. Add in Purphoros or Warstorm surge and you have another win-con. I am also surprised you never mentioned Marauding Raptor. It instantly cashes in an egg and reduces casting costs.

[@chrisgroulx6071]

Wonderful video, excited to build for this commander.

[@micheal5973]

I’m going enrage stompy Dino’s for my build. Pyrohiemia and sword tooth’s to ping everything on the board, get all enrage triggers, kill the egg and find another enrage Dino or an elder

[@Slayer309]

The thing with Outpost siege is, that its used choosing Dragons for the combo version with the altar and staff and lot of shapeshifters

[@lonerwolf2010]

Thank you so much. Still learning

[@sebathadah1559]

Very good. Thanks for this video it's super useful. I had sort of built this like my Xenagos deck. Clearly it doesent work like that. You sir have changed my mind.

[@anthonydelfino6171]

You talked about redundancy.... but no Birthing Boughs? Sure it costs more to make a 2/2 changeling than a 0/1 egg.... but it IS redundancy to making tokens, especially if you're ramping a lot.

[@sertaki]

that is a pretty good one!

[@jerilee5057]

I agree but I think it’s because there’s better alternatives. Tristana is 4cmc can populate for 3 mana, and it heals you each time you drop a creature.

[@anthonydelfino6171]

@@jerilee5057 yes but Trostani also needs you to have the egg in play first as well as being a creature, she's much more likely to get removed through targeted removal (which she's an absolute lightning rod for due to her powerful abilities and means to gain absurd amounts of life) and through wrath effects. Targeted artifact removal and artifact wraths certainly exist, but aren't usually, at least in my experience, as commonly faced as creature wraths. That's not to say that you can't include both in the deck, because again, redundancy is good.

[@Smaul002]

Thank you for mentioning some different card options to use. Most of the deck techs on youtube for these new commanders are all exactly the same (for the most part)

[@zimzyma]

I almost never “bling” out my decks, but I love that special edition defense of the heart art, I had to have it. Maybe will put it in an Atla deck!

[@penderrin1637]

You've been merely paying attention to the outpost siege khans option. It's dragons option is actually pretty good, pinging whenever an egg dies can be pretty good

[@nightowlyt5570]

YES I am so excited to see this I've been looking forward to this General ever since she was spoiled

[@alexvraa1452]

What's bad about skullclamping some big monster, particularly Zetalpa? It makes the big dino boi in particular hit harder for not that much downside because it's indestructible. It also gives you some cards if somebody tragic slips your thiqq monsters, so you don't have to put all your EGGS in one basket

[@HostMPBWY]

"Eggs in one basket" genius

[@matttownsend8406]

I like gruul rage beast in this deck, when u get an egg it can run itself into opponents creatures. Doesn’t do damage on its own but does get them instantly hatched.

[@danlewis7707]

I like chain reaction and earthquake and faultline in this one. You could put in Gisela and run repercussion as a damage based control package that could seague into a wincon if atla is off the table. Also maybe a magus of the arena or ulvenwald tracker because they can be useful defensively or as a way to break your eggs.

[@Nharzhool]

No jokes, that Perilous Forays does super gross things with this deck since it ramps you as well as gets big creatures.

[@KuerbisKanal]

Hmm i would say Etali is worth running even without topdeckmanipulation, like Magmatic Force it can steal games, If unchecked. Even If you miss your top Card, you still have three oponent, who all have spicy cards in her deck.

[@Nemissis4265]

Exactly. He doesn't understand its not for YOUR deck its to keep the other players away from their combos

[@MegaKekoa123]

[@bakasamacollects2054]

Why dont you run the revilark karmuc guide combo. Its looking real hot in commander right now.

[@shilohartisan]

DJ is totally right about keeping the creature count really low, and not needing a ton of eggs. If you do insist on running too many creatures as most lists I've seen do, or even if you want to grab specific fatties, Top deck tutors are extra good in this deck. Congregation at Dawn Worldly Tutor Noxious Revival I also like Altar of Bone (cheap for a reserve list card) because it's a sac outlet. It does tutor to hand though so you'll want to go find your cheap creature that is castable. This helps increase the density of just fatties in your deck too.

[@tcjester89]

I'm building her as a secret Purphorous, God of the Forge deck. Tutor Purphorous, crack some eggs, get Hornet Queen, Avenger of Zendikar, etc...watch opponents squirm.

[@myrical4147]

Built a deck with this commander and tested it out at my local game store at fnm and oh boi. Its pretty epic. My friends say it bs but at least im winning my combat damage. (Unlike their instant win combos).

[@shilohartisan]

17:17 it's a 1 drop, only costs 1 to equip, sacs your eggs, draws you cards, and then why not go ahead and hook it on a big guy? Yeah it doesn't kill him but something might kill him eventually and then you get 2 cards. I like Skullclamp here. Good 1 drops are good.

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

I think he makes a good point though. It's amazing when you're using it to kill your eggs while your commander is out, but otherwise It's rather weak. You don't want to use it on your eggs while your commander is not in play since your deck relies a lot on your commander. If the best Skullclamp can do without your commander out is weaken a single creature your opponent controls, and eventually maybe get you two cards, then I don't think It's worth it.

[@shilohartisan]

I take your point. It's a matter of meta or preference I suppose. I didn't mean you can can equip it to your opponents' creatures, I was talking about putting it on one of your own fatties. It weakens them slightly but whenever they do die you get 2 cards. It's not a huge benefit, but I was just specifically arguing against DJ saying "[eggs are] the only thing you can really Skullclamp in this deck." Yeah, they are the only things you can equip that will die immediately and draw you cards, but they aren't technically the only things you can equip it to at all. That's all I meant. The facts that matter for me are: This deck needs a few sac outlets. Skullclamp is a sac outlet. Skullclamp costs 1 mana. Skullclamp is not a creature (which can mess up my polymorph) Skullclamp can draw some cards. I prefer a really low mana curve. therefore I like it. But i understand why others don't.

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

@@shilohartisan Oh okay that makes more sense. Yeah you could equip them to your creatures so if your opponent kills them you draw two cards. I understand your points for playing it. There's no denying that It has a lot of great things about it. For me personally I would rather play a less powerful card that is not dead or close to being dead in certain situations. I prefer having cards that are useful in more situations. To each their own.

[@Sentinel851]

@@GuardianAngelEatos personally, I'd be putting in a lot of double strike creatures, Goring Ceratops and Zetalpa, Primal Dawn, come to mind, so it's really a +2/-1, draw two cards if they kill you" card in my deck. if I have a big creature, it gets a little bigger, if I have a small creature, i can turn it into cards. if I have a small creature AND my commander, I can turn it into two cards AND a big creature. if I have no creatures, then an artifact that equips will be less useful anyway.

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

@@Sentinel851 Yeah I'm not saying that Skullclamp shouldn't be in the deck. I was just agreeing with DJ, and think It's not worth it. Although after cutting down cards in my own decklist, I'm realizing that even though I don't want to have Skullclamp in the deck, I think it needs more ways to kill off the eggs, and Skullclamp is one of the best options. So I ended up putting Skullclamp, and Altar of Dementia back in, and I added Fanatical Devotion as well.

[@jstrobel3620]

Try Gruul Ragebeast in this deck! It’s very good with the eggs and then good removal for all the big things your eggs hath into!

Please do a deck tech on Marisi!! 🐯

[@Donax313]

Blazing Archon is not so great in this deck, with atla and and enough mana, people will not want to attack you in fear that you crack a monster from your deck. They will however do their best to get rid of Atla for good, it will be an incredible removal magnet. My way to build Atla is simple : we need 4 mana to bring her and a sac outlet after mana doesn't matter much, focus should be put on protecting Atla. As long as Atla is on the field you use your mana for support or making/craking eggs not for casting creatures. The more you crack eggs and the more you will draw support spells.

I think Skullclamp on Zetalpa is actually still a fantastic card, I’d love a 5/7 doublestriker. If you’re on a sac outlet build, you still don’t care that you’re Clamped on an indestructible creature.

[@jacquesdespadas]

I seen a couple other channels go the egg-tribal combo through your whole deck route, and I think you're right. Too easy to fizzle, even in a vacuum. This is so much smarter. And with a reasonable creature count, you can really play with the power level so that you can be competitive with your group, blow out the lgs, or tone it down when playing newer players or vs. pre-cons. Sweet!

@@cheesycheddars5038 Countermagic will only work against Worldspine if you hard cast it from your hand, which you never really want to do. That's actually why I would recommend adding a couple of rummaging outlets or regular discard outlets to a deck like this so you can easily return Worldspine to your deck without spending 11 mana.

[@fishinglifeforme]

i like the list, i simply think that your deck is a little too spell heavy, other than that the creatures are fine, currently im running, 28 creatures, 39 spells, and 33 lands. so far i haven't experienced mana problems even though i think 33 is a little low for a deck like this type of deck, but the ramp compensates really nicely. if you are in a play group/ meta that has a lot of creature removal, you may struggle a little to keep creatures on the board long enough to finish your opponents off, that is why i prioritized more creatures that are difficult to deal with. Also my budget was just under $1,000. the deck came in at $800 even. you are most absolutely correct when you said redundancy is key and it is for sure.

[@DailyThoughtswithKyle]

I agree with not going egg tribal. You definitely don't want to hit another egg. However, I disagree about going light with creatures. I think that more threats make it harder for your opponents to just hate on your commander. It also ups the fun factor (for me at least) because you don't exactly know what will come out of each egg but you know it is going to probably be big and threatening. I also disagree with Etali and Ilharg being situational picks. I think this is a deck that is going to need these cards as engine pieces to help keep the deck going. Especially Ilharg, you said it yourself, this is not a deck that wants to draw all of its creatures. But if it does draw those creatures you are going to want an Ilharg to help you cheat out those cards anyway. One last thing, you will want graveyard shuffling in this deck (Don't remember if you mentioned that). If your opponents wipe the board you will have a lot of useless creatures in the graveyard so you better have either recursion or a way to put those creatures back in the deck. There is definitely a lot of tension in this deck and it will be challenging to build. But that is what will make it fun to build and perfect!

With Atla Palani on Board; Earthcraft+Squirrel's Nest+ Mirror Entity=dump every single creature in your library onto the board.

[@shilohartisan]

You can dump all your creatures onto the board infinite times with just Mirror Entity and Atla. Atla needs a buff of at least +0/+1 and Kozilek or Ulamog need to be in the library. You won't get to KEEP your creatures this way, but you'll get infinite ETBs so you can ping everyone down with something like Goblin Chain Whirler.

[@davidrosenberg9615]

Besides, combos that go off when you already have infinite squirrels aren't that exciting.

[@joranmoore5663]

Question. So I just got to the part with Worldspine Wurm. If you wanna sac it to shuffle your library back in, why not Fling it? 15 damage seems so much more helpful (for us) than 1 damage from Goblin Bombardment.

[@ryestar7395]

but fling is only good with your big creatures, not your eggs. You want your sac outlets to be reusable and functional with all your deck fling doesn't do either of those things

[@aidennoir597]

@@ryestar7395 Brion Stoutarm maybe?

[@ryestar7395]

​@@aidennoir597 it's better. The reason that enchantment sacrifice is so good like goblin bombardment is because it is free and repeatable all in one turn. for example, if you have brion stoutarm out and 4 eggs you can only turn that into one creature this turn. where as with an enchantment or artifact like goblin bombardment you can get all 5. The enchantments also have the advantage of been harder to remove, and it's one few worse creature diluting the deck , because you might sac an egg and get brion not the worst, but also not the best either. You really want maximum upside

[@adamfitzgerald914]

Also allot of good equipment. Gata protect the Commander. If she is gone the deck won't work as well.

[@blakemakinson6509]

Roc egg isn't an egg. Its a bird so if it dies it wont trigger atla

[@RazielNightfall]

WGR deck tech that seems to forget what is best from red. Haste. Not just haste for creature but offers haste to all other creatures. Samut and Urabrask the Hidden plus CHB to finish the game.

[@myrical4147]

I run 5 haste enablers in my deck and they are a must if you dont want your opponents to have a turn cycle to deal with your board.

[@ceulgai2817]

CHB?
