Gods Tribal Commander Deck Tech

[@thetogtube2]

LOVE THE CONTENT... With all the GODS and other power enchantment since 2016 would love to see a revised version of this video. ***also with a new Commander ...

[@toirt-ls6qs]

You should revisit this deck with all the new gods!!!!

[@Rangersly]

Second that!

[@rylegrimrick]

@@RangerslyI will third this motion... in order to take it to vote... all in favor?

[@b_olson542]

Great video. I've been really impressed with the quality of your videos and deck tech. I love your Marchesa ideas.

[@lucaslahlum6331]

It took a few years but another enchantment set came out

[@rustyshackelford1183]

ethereal armor and sigil of empty throne

[@fdragon77fk]

manabloom seems like it'd be a nice enchantment for this deck, x+1 for a color-fixed mana every turn while the counters last and then it bounces back to hand after being drained so you could set off constellation effects again

[@TheMrBigShot96]

One card I deffinatelty suggest is amulet of vigor. Makes those shocks come in and not hurt so much. And the Tri-lands come in untapped.

[@dualsamurai]

I want to see a Ninja deck obsessed with bestow cards. One beefy aura coated creature attacks and you activate ninjutsu and the auras fall off and turn into an army. I call it legion.

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

It's hard to believe that It's been almost two years since this video! I still remember when this video uploaded! I'm finally getting to building my own Child of Alara god tribal deck! I love the god cards, but yeah they don't synergize well with each other.

[@daringpoem3738]

Can you please do another version of this video please now with the release of more gods

[@BennyBartez]

Hi. Great deck tech! I started playing mtg with the Theros release, and I'm now building a Theros cube. Even though this was for commander, it has helped me with the cube. Thanks!

[@JumboCommander]

Your Theros cube sounds awesome. I have a classic Vintage Cube, a Khans Cube, and Innistrad Cube. I get very excited about cube design. Are you going singleton or are you putting in multiple commons?

[@BennyBartez]

Jumbo Commander I'm doing singleton. I'm missing a couple of mythics... Ajani is surprisingly pricey atm for instance. Observations so far... it appears there's a lack of removal, but there's also a lack of flyers so not too much of an issue. Some colours seem easier to build with strong themes, eg white heroic. However I'm struggling to find Black's identity. BR minotaurs seem OK. UB mill might be a thing but I'm not sure how powerful I want Mill to be as people may not like playing against it. Basically I'm not sure how many colour pairs I should try and make work. 5 allied pairs or 5 enemy pairs or all 10? Atm I'm thinking with the restriction of singletons then it may just be 5.

[@TaylorCohron]

So, I made a God Tribal deck recently with Karona, the False God at the helm. Mine is slightly updated though, I have the Amonkhet and HoD gods too! Check it out here tappedout.net/mtg-decks/i-am-a-god-1/

[@Xragion]

might need to update this in a few weeks

[@OhHey_ItsJay]

Thanks for doing a tribal like I had asked :D I liked the Theros set so this is a fun-looking build.

[@angelojohnson9441]

For Chromatic sac outlet I recommend Phyrexian Altar. Phyrexia might not fit the flavor, but I figure an altar would.

[@dallasfischer6164]

I'm paying attention to the green and white stuff because I have a green white aura deck these enchantresses would go great in

[@vantheman8050]

I always wanted to build a deck like this. It is super cool.

[@JumboCommander]

It's fun to play but if your meta is too spikey it isn't a good choice. This deck is powerful but you need some time.

[@zack161224]

+Jumbo Commander i would love to see your take on a control deck with Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker and Vial Smasher the Fierce. i have been working with them for a bit now but still need some ideals.

[@onyxasura20xx]

Loved this, you should do an update with TBD additions!!

[@TheJPKaram]

i enjoy this format of video so much more also nice video, hoping to see a Sen Triplets deck tech one day Keep being awesome and looking forward to see the next video

[@vze1ruuh]

Can you do an update with the amonkhet Gods included

[@adamo36532]

Cool deck, and thank you for showing some cards to include

[@lolimmune]

My LGS's owner runs a karona false God as commander of a god tribal. People say it's bad but honestly it's really cool to watch.

[@Sucrose_Mother]

Can you please revisit this deck since theros beyond death is out?

[@pelifzuilraubiet8750]

Show us some gameplay JUMBO!

[@bradmouland5661]

Really considering building this. I'm already trying too make a collection of foil gods, might as well play them!

[@JumboCommander]

That was a large part of my motivation :)

[@bradmouland5661]

Jumbo Commander great minds think alike? let's go with that. hahaha

[@DarkZedCannon]

Awesome deck, really inspired by your deck techs!

[@andrewsowl8696]

Do you have a new updated list? With the new gods? 15 more are out there... And you could add the Eldrazi titans also

[@mattfenner7824]

Could you run Growing Rites of Itlimoc? It's an Enchantment that turns into a land, not sure how much mana it would actually tap for, given that it would be hard to turn your gods into creatures, so it might not tap for as much, but all of the Ixalan Enchantments could help you get more lands down, with varying levels of usefulness...

[@jakeschreiner8567]

herald of the pantheon would be a worthy inclusion, i have it in my Kruphix deck so i can get him out faster and there are 15 other enchantments in the deck so its nice that it helps to ramp those out faster

[@87channels]

I want to build a Gods tribal theme because it looks dope but the cards are so expensive

[@MMAGenie05]

Athreos also works well with child of alara

[@COOPALOOPTROOPA]

What about the amonkhet gods ?

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

Amonkhet released after he made this video. Amonkhet released in 2017, this video was made in 2016.

[@robotfightingreplicasertwa8351]

There are also hour of devastation

[@samfoogamer1661]

The amonkhet gods are complete crap.

[@knz3eee]

I tried to make a deck with a "god" theme in naya colors, ended up being more of a legendary goodstuff deck, but the gods and their weapons are still in there. I called it "Devine and Conquer".

[@izaroventas2887]

If you want a bit more flavor for the commander, use Karona, False God

[@sofiaholiday5344]

There is a five color god commander you can use

[@timothygerbig875]

I actually had this same idea about a year ago. My nickname for the deck was "Child of God."

[@JumboCommander]

So many good titles! Mine is so boring.

[@timothygerbig875]

Jumbo Commander Feel free to use it, if you like. Your Breya deck tech got me about 80% of the way to where I am with mine, so it's an honor and I owe you for the help.

[@mattblankenbaker6456]

Mourning or/and Conviction combo well with Doomwake Giant

[@leg1less]

I have a similar god tribal deck on tapped out with Child at the helm. Have you thought about adding the archtypes to your creature list and maybe captain sissay to tutor out all your gods when you need them?

[@shooflies]

lol always wanted to see a full deck of these. BTW i just did a Yidris, maelstrom wielder wizard tribal deck. I don't think i did it amazingly but ik u like to make commanders differently so i figured id pop an idea of my own out. plus its always better to have a 2nd approach to things

[@JumboCommander]

ooh Interesting. How do the colors work out? Is the deck really heavy blue? Great idea.

[@shooflies]

Jumbo Commander it's heavy blue but a good mix of wizards from guilds. my deck has a draw subtheme with izami lady of scrolls and a nekusar. I only had wizards off hand so there's probably better options but it's fun. I liked both simic and grixis so why not both

[@JumboCommander]

Great idea!

[@alexanderjosefsson4729]

Need a uppdate to the god list ^^

[@QvonJ]

Thanks DJ ! It helps me a lot to make my deck. Do you have any update since Theroes Beyond Death is our ? Do you put some of the new Gods ? Or new enchantments ? It tries dire of invention lately was pretty good. Do you have any advise if I would like to switch the Commander (Child of Alara is kind of annoying to play against) ? Maybe Golos, Kenrith or maybe Progenitis (for the devotion ?) for a lot for all your content ! Cheers from France !

[@MrMarvelMike]

You should revisit this with Eliska at the helm.

[@maplebacon2724]

What're your thoughts on the Archetypes or the Soul of New Phyrexia in this deck? Along with simultaneously buffing your minions and debuffing the enemy's, they are enchantment creatures, and can come out pretty early, with the lowest CMC being 3. Although they do have the double color cost, that can be a good thing, since it can activate some of your gods. The Souls are honestly not extraordinary, with the exception of Soul of New Phyrexia. It's colorless, making it easy to cast, and its ability is ridiculously powerful. Vedalken Orrery is also pretty good

[@JumboCommander]

+Maple Bacon the archetypes are also pretty flavorful. I have run the green one before but the problem is that I would rather have my enchantments gain hexproof over my creatures. I think soul and orrery would make the deck better but I gotta stick to enchantments so I can stay on theme. Great suggestions!

[@maplebacon2724]

what'n th' heck that was a fast reply

[@JumboCommander]

Sometimes I'm at my phone and it's easy. Other times things pile up and the youtube app can't really handle it. Overall, great suggestions!

[@KonekoNiiSan]

hey jumbo, will you do an egyptian god tribal? would love that!

[@sparks-1354]

You should make a Vedalken- Artifact themed EDH deck. Preferably blue-white.

[@wayfaringsentiment3096]

But why no Ceta Sanctuary in the card draw section? It's pretty damn strong given you're flooding the board with gods that fill the color requirements it has, and it drops earlier.

[@joshuasexton2078]

Chromat is the better option. His "put chromat on top of your deck" ability ha saved my gods from exile so many times.

[@JumboCommander]

That's an interesting synergy. I have done something similar by using those instant speed sac outlets (those three lands) to turn off gods.

[@musicmojo100]

update 2022.... Our is pulling up wit enchantment GodsZ. he in the court room like you need me to let you go unbound?

[@d9_1056]

Update?

[@Jeffxm003]

Nice deck but no Daxos the returned or ancestral mask? Also aura thief says hi

[@thatonekidtrex]

I dunno how I never thought of this but props my dude

[@timothymahon9426]

now that Hour is out, would you consider adding those gods to this tribal deck?

[@jeffswett4579]

.43 seconds in..."they're not gonna turn each other on..." Hehehe 😂

[@MrNalettinho]

Why not Progenitus as the commander? :P he by himsel counts 2 towards every god's devotion

[@usernameunidentified9874]

You should update this deck tech to feature the eight Amonkhet gods.

[@christinabutterfield1801]

That would be bad. For instance kefnet and hazoret are completely opposite

[@usernameunidentified9874]

How? They're both god creatures too.

[@zerosky28]

The music in the background is why am here. also good vid

[@RobSomeone]

Please update this deck!!!

[@dsadams17]

I'd like to suggest Bonds of Mortality as answers to hexproof/Avacyn 1.0, as well as an on-demand, one-sided board wipe with Child sac outlet. That, and it draws cards/is an enchantment.

[@RockStar5656]

UPDATED LIST PLEASE?!?

[@cameronjohnson3687]

Why not the exile effect that turns them into a O/1 indestructible bug

[@JumboCommander]

Darksteel Mutation is a great call. Be aware it only hits creatures so it can be a little inflexible. Thanks!

[@sagehatch7733]

What about the new Gods?

[@Xragion]

Wall of text. Also i have a god tribal have you thought about use the borderpost artifacts? they only come in ally colours though. And Anger of the gods for more Flavor win. i also took a lands matter approach to my God squad commander where i use all ten Bounce lands and all ten Temples (scry) lands Amulet of Vigor dose wonder in their too. I also had another deck idea or atleast theme and it revolved around Enchantment - Aura Curse. like Curse of Bloodletting; Enchant player If a source would deal damage to enchanted player, it deals double that damage instead. Curse of Thirst; Enchant player At the beginning of enchanted player's upkeep, Curse of Thirst deals damage to that player equal to the number of Curses attached to him or her. They work on the premise that they "debuff" opponents. so far they only have 17 curses out so theirs not much to work with but it dose seem like a look of fun. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this

[@JumboCommander]

You are correct anger of the gods should be in here. As for borderposts, I like the added devotion but I would need to add more basics to my mana base because I don't really want to pay a difficult mana cost to only fix for two of my colors. I too wish that there were more curses. So many of them are just MEH. You got some great ideas here. Thanks for sharing!

[@djskype020202]

wouldn't you want to use eternal witness over auramancer as eternal's 2G mana cost counts toward the gods turning to creatures and you can get back child of alara with her?

[@JumboCommander]

Great arguments. Maybe I should use Greenwarden of Murasa? What do you think?

[@nicholask7494]

its a beefed up version and i think its cheaper but cmc is more so unlike eternal witness its kinda awkward to cast it when u NEED that something in your graveyard back, but if u just want good stuff back greenwarden get u 2 things. if that make sense.

[@samfoogamer1661]

Already did it, and had a combo so only mass exile or bonds of mortality could effect me.

[@Chickenfeet-jc8ys]

Sigil of the empty throne?

[@jonwelgrin613]

I am actually building only 3 colored and my commander is oros, just all the board wipes.

[@JumboCommander]

Solid choice. Good luck building.

[@jonwelgrin613]

Jumbo Commander this is the link for my current deck, it is relatively budget but any suggestions would be super, tappedout.net/mtg-decks/godly-wrath-1/.

[@davidsaunders7306]

Great deck tech!

[@dotmp3883]

weres heros panthenon?

[@alexplom5958]

Hey Jumbo , I wanted to ask if you would consider making competitive/semi-competitive edh deck-techs . I really enjoy most of your videos and the decks are very fun and interesting , however i believe that you could "pioneer" in the youtube edh scene by making competitive decks too .

[@pops91]

i made this deck last year but i prefer korona the false god because she is funny and ironic and if you equip her with vows she can 1 shot people with commander damage

[@JohnCarter-bf9vu]

Sigil of the empty throne is missing... Also, Karona??

[@JumboCommander]

I've heard Karona is a false god, only real gods here ... sorry, that was lame, but I'm still hitting "reply"

[@SerpentSkys]

Now that Amonkhet and Hour of Devastation are out are the gods from those sets going into your deck?

[@JumboCommander]

Maybe Locust, Scorpion and Scarab but I can't imagine finding room for the other 5. My deck has shifted to be very enchantment heavy so it's a loss to include non-enchantment stuff.

[@SerpentSkys]

Ok that makes sense. None of those gods really fit the game play of the deck i was just curious because they fit the flavor so well.

[@nilshaukeholtfester6311]

Do it again😁👍

[@crongnakpunch7851]

I feel like daxos could really add value as well producing more enchantment creatures

[@JumboCommander]

Good call. I'll try him out. He is a win condition all by himself which is what is needed in this deck. Cheers

[@apanapane]

Any thoughts on Progenitus? Seems like two additional devotion to each colour is relevant.

[@JumboCommander]

I have had Child save me too many times to doubt him now. I'd say try both. But I'd add a board wipe or two if you pick Progenitus and I'd make sure to have a few "go big finishers" if you run child.

[@apanapane]

Jumbo Commander I was more thinking of Progenitus among the 99. :)

[@JumboCommander]

ooooohhhhh, cool. I'm going to throw in one of the grand prix promos when I end up picking one up this year. Good call.

[@gamefreak203]

what about Ghostly Prison for defence aswell?

[@JumboCommander]

I'm not running it right now but it can easily find a spot. Good call.

[@__4016]

sigil of the empty throne????

[@JumboCommander]

I ... don't really like it ... I'm sorry. I know it's so flavorful. I had more success with Luminarch Ascension but I don't always like the way the card plays.

[@__4016]

Jumbo Commander To each their own. I'm very fond of he card because a rouge enchantment prison modern deck I run. Ascension+sigil gets real dumb real quick. If I were to make this build I would keep that as a win con and with double W would help get the gods online. Without play testing can't tell if Would be great or just something else that would eat enchantment removal.

[@mbaker807]

How would you reduce the mana base $$$$ wise or would it effect the deck too much overall?

[@JumboCommander]

I would go more basics (and skew them green) and add more spell based fixing (cultivate, kodama's reach, etc). I would also slow down your deck a little but add lands that tap for all 5 colors (rupture spire and transguild promenade). It will require a lot of tweaking. Good luck!

[@nihildomini]

Posted just as I was looking for other's decklists for improvements I can make to my own Gods deck. I'm running the liege cycle for devotion and they're terribly boring. I'd much rather run enchantments that do fun things (like Dovescape).

[@JumboCommander]

HAhah Dovescape is awesome. Remember to play cavern of souls (set to gods) so they can be cast through dovescape!!!

[@andrewvaughan8073]

that tappedout list is foiltastic my god! i got real confused when i saw the price lol

[@jonathonrhodes3053]

@Jumbo Commander - I am currently building a Sisay, Weatherlight Captain God/Shrine tribal. It is quite literally insane. I'm only new to this deck building thing but here's the link ( www.archidekt.com/decks/1551566#Sisay_Legendary_Tribal ). I'm sure someone with your experience could optimise this but I will add a few things here. 1. Chromanticore + Progenitus + Altar of the Pantheon = 4 devotion of all colours, more or less any God that comes out instantly becomes a creature. 2. The Shrines are legendary so once you get Shrine of All out using Sisay, the shrines get themselves out turn by turn. 3. The World Tree... There are so many more things I can mention but man this will be my first deck build and I think I'm onto something really good here.

[@Deris76]

The deck name should : Nonbo, all the time. Also, have you considered sigil of the empty throne?

[@JumboCommander]

Sigil is fun and thematic ... it is a little underpowered. I prefer Luminarch Ascension. I like your title. Cheers.

[@AzamisBox]

do a deck update and add the new gods

[@planeswalker24]

Why don't you play prismatic omen, open the vault, or chromatic lantern?

[@JumboCommander]

I do play lantern .. although I think I like prismatic omen better. Open the vault got a mention in the video but it isn't good in my meta ... to many Darettis.

[@planeswalker24]

Prismatic omen would fit what your doing better

[@kyle00fight]

how come you don't run all 23 gods?

[@matttheman3923]

kyle00fight because this was made in 2016 and the amonket gods weren’t released

[@Otterwa]

You'll love Estrid then!

[@TheHellsreject]

This is effectively a "Duck & Cover" deck.

[@carsonmcdowell5]

Why not run a prophet of kruphix?

[@mawsal]

carsonmcdowell5 that be banned Yo

[@Lost1nTheFog]

Banned. You really should look up the ban list.

[@MrChocobar]

Super cool deck tech, but it should be called "Five Color God Stuff". Past that, thanks for making this, it's a deck I've been wanting to play for awhile but never built.

[@JumboCommander]

Oh MY GODS! A missed opportunity to say the least ... your title is too good!

[@aqure9]

I love this

[@cheesecake2449]

If anybody else is visiting from the future how about the newly spoiled Niv-Mizzet reborn as the commander?

[@casp3213]

I was thinking the same thing! It seems so good in this!

[@bleachta334]

Why is krona the false god not the commander? seems like bad flavor.

[@JumboCommander]

That god is false ... I only play with real gods ;)

[@christinabutterfield1801]

Because it's a bad commander

[@poryjahn2]

Brandon Butterfield actually it can be really powerful if used right

[@WhisperMTG]

Saint Jahn yes, but this deck is definitely not built around it

[@obesebanana1177]

I love your videos, but I think they could get even better. Simple things like making sure cards are in line, example the thassa in the beginning was slightly lower. Also just keep things consistent, like with the bident just make sure they are from the same set. Anyways I am excited for the next video!!!!

[@euancorbett1582]

I kept thinking: where is the sacred mesa :)

[@JumboCommander]

Good suggestion. Pegasuses also feel thematic. I have also run Luminarch Ascension in the past. Great suggestions.

[@cestlasol]

Why is this over 2000$?

[@JumboCommander]

+Eunnie Hur because I linked to my personal deck and it is foiled out which messes up the price of the real deck. Feel free to copy/export the list and see what the real price would be.

[@dixel2047]

oh snap that's my deck ish like it's the same name

[@Xragion]

YASSSSSSSS

[@zealous944]

thats a really expensive meme

[@pipsdontlie3031]

Cool, now add the 8 new Amonkhet Gods and make Karona your commander (even though she is shit, she supports tribal wise and is a flavor home-run.)

[@henry.daniels]

She isn't a god, so doesn't fit the tribal theme
