"Forces of the Imperium" Warhammer 40K Commander Precon Breakdown! | MTG Spoilers

[@dlinkquent12]

Major props to to Tomer for pronouncing all these insane card and ability names through all four of these videos

[@sharlockshacolmes9381]

Now I want the Seth version...

[@ashadeofnight]

Unlike Richard with the "ass-tarts"

[@stripeybag6977]

It's what I'd want from an Imperium deck, tools to face anything, go wide cause life is cheap, lots of Officers and Heroes buffing everyone, and enough xenophobia to tell anything to go die before making it do that.

[@notdylan561]

Agreed, though a Primarch or two would have been nice.

I absolutely will be yelling, "This heresy cannot stand!" every time I play Deny the Witch. Every. Time.

[@butmunch19121993]

Thank you. I couldnt find anyone who was only talking about the preconstructed deck. I brought this as my first deck to play with a friend and i dont plan on changing it

[@cenncenn9765]

I think flesh of the weak is some kind of a finisher, pumping your token units also removing opponents other smaller blockers*

[@collinthomson7942]

The Commissar seems really fun as an Orzhov Commander!

[@CodenameJD]

I'm looking forward to putting it in Isshin

[@mrsilverbutton7786]

I always appreciate the cards you're talking about, when it comes to outside of the precon synergies, being on screen at the same time. Thank you for the reviews!

[@dylanmiller9162]

I really like the couple of just solid vehicles added in these for vehicle decks.

[@mikebutler9356]

Appreciate so quickly these got out. Was as stoked for these as the actual reveals

[@royalfishness1]

Heya Tomer, im not on twitter so Ill have to say thanks here. Got my MTGGoldfish signed playmat the other day. It is a gorgeous mat and I will be the envy of all the LGSs in the area

[@MTGGoldfishCommander]

Awesome, William! I'm glad you like the playmat and thank you for supporting us!

A part of me wants to see someone use this deck to go against a cat or werewolf deck due to Flashgitz

Reaver titan, it’s only 5 damage… Wulfgar, ishin: could this be one of my people??

[@Urd-Vidan]

It also has protection from low costing targeted removal.

[@DoctorWhoBlue]

Seems really good in Kotori

[@inresponse8331]

I run an Isshin/Obosh companion deck and reaver titan would be an awesome add.

[@nikolashug4619]

Can't wait for the podcast and please make a commander clash video playing with these decksss

[@DE3rules]

Tomer, first off, great job on the video! Arco-Flagellant in at home in Selenia Dark Angel. Pretty much a back up plan in case something goes wrong with your Selenia.

[@sethc.1366]

Man, Reaver Titan + infect + Isshin is the kind of combo dreams are made of

[@stripeybag6977]

Oh my holy God Emperor I see now, when I took that quiz and got Obscura while my friends got everything else it was because I was just being a loyal child of the Emperor. I must go forth now and purge them for their transgressions against humanity. I will return soon in this rotation cycle as well to purge the Multiverse of the filthy Phyrexian scum. (Revs chainsword) For The Emperor!!!

[@jorzolek01]

These decks are just so awesome!

[@dylanmiller9162]

Flesh is weak is very flavorful and while over costed for this deck, I imagine is costed at what it is because of the other decks that could make explosive use of it. If it was only playable in this, shouldn’t cost 5 mana lol

[@amarauk9687]

And now with Calgar on board your smothering tithe also draws you a f*ckton of cards :D Suffer not the witch to live brothers

[@budrothefox3666]

Cool that thunderwolf cav has first strike so it will grow your normal attack creatures before they deal combat damage getting extra value that combat.

[@ferdithetank7535]

Yeah, old Drana from BFZ trick

[@zarnarclight6493]

Ultramarine honor guard is going to be insane in Commander, dump infinite mana into the squad and watch as all of your creatures get +1000/+1000, add trample and rofl-stomp because, all the copies have the same +1/+1 ability

[@garrettsmith4034]

Sooooooo close to foiling out mono blue jacestice league/jaceShips in oath breaker. Down to full art islands, F.o.N/W and a full art ugin. Let's goooooo! Ps just scooped the foil imperium vehicles up for $30 total.

[@BobertJoe]

Flesh of the Weak is especially strange because if you have 1/1 creatures, they just die. The +1/+1 ability uses the stack whereas the -1/-1 is static, so they will die with the trigger on the stack

[@DoomedDiceThrower]

It might fit the lore. The depicted space Marines are of the iron hands chapter, who's philosophy is "The flesh is weak". They hate weakness and are into biomechanically improving themselves. There's a shortstory where they they get disgusted by and casually executed panicked allied guardsmen, who were huddling up in cover away from enemy fire, not reacting to the Marines' commands to continue the fight. This fits.

[@sagittariusa9012]

@@DoomedDiceThrower Im not sure but only the adeptus mechanicus think like that (flesh is weak) and also the iron hands legion of the space marine.

[@jonathanbane1927]

The sicarian infiltrator is decent in some blue decks but it gets crazy value in panharminicon yarok style creature entering decks. 😂 starts at 5 for 2 creatures entering that draws 4 cards total. Alot of value

[@zephyrsky01]

I like how the deck screams “BLINK ME” queue Blink-182 music!!!

[@AmitGinniPatpatia]

The way I understand The Flesh is weak card states that your card gets plus 1 plus 1 token on them, which then states any card with plus 1 plus 1 token becomes an artifact plus whatever they were before. In other words, they wouldn't get minus 1 minus 1 as they are no artifact, meaning everyone else in the game gets minus 1 unless their card is artifact.

[@efnfen]

0:00 "Hey Friends," I've never been friendzoned so fast...

[@codelicious6590]

That assassin is badass!

[@gearframe87]

Marneus Calgar is going to make a fine token commander

[@codelicious6590]

Looks pretty crazy but, I hate to say this but the thought of a box of miniatures made by Games Workshop of Magic the Gathering characters for me to paint sounds way more appealing!

[@sagittariusa9012]

44:40 does is not also reduce enemy nonartifact creatures -1/-1?

[@dudemetslagroom8065]

Was somehow expecting a tiny bit more imperial gaurd rep. Also no actual Sisters of Battle or Morgen Vahl... Still really cool deck but im leaning more to the crons and the nids

[@fitnesshunter6302]

I'm just glad they finally reprinted talisman of progress

[@ferdithetank7535]

Talisman of Poggers

[@ericwong1265]

Note on the Space Marine Devastator: I'm pretty sure the only other rec sage mono-white has is rambunctious mutt. Devastator is comparable to rec sage but so much better than what mono-white currently has

[@EliyaSelhub]

Angel of the Ruins and Cavalier of Dawn are comparable, but Space Marine is the cheapest we've seen this etb in white, and the scalability is great.

[@TMidander]

Dang, I'm not even that much of a 40k fan but these decks are so sweet :)

[@sugarymushroom]

I want to see a commander game with all four 40k decks.

[@Nob911]

There is one on command zones channel

[@EliyaSelhub]

Am I misreading Sicarian Infiltrator? It seems amazing. It's not better than Mulldrifter, but in the right deck it's not exactly worse either. Mulldrifter is good because of the shenanigans it enables... well this has shenanigans too, just different ones. Mulldrifter is a better attacker and a better blink target, but if you have token and/or artifact synergies this is great. For example with a panharmonicon, for 5 mana you get three bodies and draw six cards at instant speed. Flashing in some defensive blockers that draw cards seems pretty good too. Amazing mana sink in the late game... the only drawback is the 1/2 body isn't very impressive, but you're not playing this card for the stats.

[@inresponse8331]

For how wide this deck goes it should be able to get to a 10+ reduction easily should be able to drop an omniscience for free. Then, unless I’m wrong about the ruling, you can go all in on the squad costs to maximize tokens. Add cathars crusade and just profit.

[@Lcngopher]

The name of sister hospitaller makes me think of knights hospitaller, a medival order of knights

[@leovaeg]

10/10 except for the "Robots" card at the end - why not make them Golems or Constructs?

[@Seef137]

I was hoping for more clue or noncreature token theme.

[@starchaser6024]

The flesh is weak: a bad elesh norn that turns every vandalblast into a complete boardwhipe for you

[@dudemetslagroom8065]

Wait did i miss something? How come there is not a single normal imperial gaurdsmen? Like the other decks have their basic troops as tokens (pretty clever) but here those are space Marines. Heck same can be said for normal adepts sororitas units. Both are very iconic imo and it's weird there's nothing off them around here. (But then I'm also missing any mention of a leman Russ tank or a Bane blade sadly enough)

[@russby3554]

"You can make a Legion of these..." * Cawl's eyes glow red * I'll do it again!!

[@aitoriri1]

Am i the only one thinking about merging the necron and imperium decks with marneus as commander?

[@notdylan561]

Yes Inquisitor, this heretic right here.

[@ferdithetank7535]

Or just play Breya if you want a rainbow artifacts deck

[@davidchapman7350]

I'm excited yet disappointed at the same time. Excited because of a 40k Imperium deck, disappointed that Ciaphas Cain ain't in it.

[@robkrieg8301]

im surprised Guilliman wasnt the commander to oppose abaddon

[@dudemetslagroom8065]

@@robkrieg8301 i feel ya. But i feel it more fitting that an inquisitor is the face commander. Who else to represent every part of the imperium and not just the spacearines? Unlike with chaos where Abaddon is the de-facto leader of them all

[@ntemage3395]

I'm high on the reaver titan most removal falls under 3 mana now so I could see it being an annoying top end threat Edit: especially most artifact removal!

[@allenyates3469]

"not a lot of six mana slots in your deck..." Krothus laughs at you.

[@maxmichalik4938]

I want to disagree with the people who complain about you bringing outside cards into the discussion. Anyone who buys the precon decks mostly for their own sake will just need to know that they are decent/balanced compared to the other precon decks and fun to play. Individual power levels or card potentials or even optimal ways to play them don't really matter. But a comparison to the rest of the Commander card pool and ideas on how to build around these after pillaging them from their precon decks is actually interesting and useful information. I would have really liked, for instance, to have known which of those multicolor legendaries make for good commanders in their own decks.

[@TheReqyem]

Isnt Sicarian Infiltrator a better Mulldrifter?

[@tyr_4941]

I hope we can see a commander clash with these decks

[@EliyaSelhub]

Not sure they're releasing these decks on magic online, but there will almost certainly be a game knights

[@dudemetslagroom8065]

One thing i wonder bout...Like. what is the main strat of this deck? I mean Nids are big stompy counters. Crons are artifact graveyard shenanigans Chaos is some weird Cascade deal noncombat damage thing I guess? But this is what? Go wide + clue tokens + artifact deck or something? I love it all its just a tad unclear to me

[@notdylan561]

Go wide tokens with some combat tricks/disruption seems to be the ticket here. I'll likely drop the artifact pieces to boost the token strat, they just don't seem to fit well.

[@dudemetslagroom8065]

not a fan of this deck: as you said, many of the cards are overcosted, so that you can... pay even more mana to copy them? without green or any type of mana dork or ramp? the mana curve of this deck is more of a mana mountain

I see why Tomer likes the squad cards but I hate them. Because it's kicker. And I can't play those in my kicker deck!
