“Graveyard Overdrive” Precon Upgrade | Modern Horizons 3 | The Command Zone 613 | MTG EDH Magic

[@commandcast]

What do you think of this precon? Any cards we missed? Any cards we suggested to take out or add that you disagree with?

[@Pigpen0228]

I think a fun bomb card would be morality shift. 7 cost black sorcery that swaps your deck and grave. That and Chainer nightmare adept.

[@munsulight721]

No Conspiracy ? Making every creature Goyf Incarnation Technique or big dumb card like Breach the Multiverse to mill yourself and Reanimate your Creature Wreck and Rebuild is so modal for this deck. Either Ramp + Mill or Removal Buried Alive and Unmarked Grave could be fun too Always a fan of Aftermath Analyst I loved everything about this upgrade and agree with the cuts ( though I kept Archon because I added Animate Dead + Reanimate and some other stuff)

[@Bonkers2]

Honestly I feel like archon is going to be extremely powerful if you just add some more reanimation

[@blitzwing100]

The Card Vicious Rumors, for one black mana, Sorcery Vicious Rumors deals 1 damage to each opponent. Each opponent discards a card, then mills a card. You gain 1 life.

[@shayneweyker]

Shifting Woodland, Aftermath Analyst, Song of the Dryads, Victimize, Cathartic Pyre, Warlock Class, Haywire Mite, Smuggler's Surprise, Animate Dead, Underrealm Lich, and Nihil Spellbomb are all good to include for various reasons. If you want to build on a budget and opponents are slower Treacherous Terrain, the MH2 artifact dual lands, and the landcycling-for-1 creatures are worth a look. Pernicious Deed is good versus Eldrazi token creatures and Nadu decks but if you don't see those it may be too symmetrical and mana intensive. I built a dredge version of the deck to go harder after Disa cheating creatures into play: Hermit Druid, Entomb, Burning Inquiry, Sylvan Library, Buried Alive and all the Dredge 4+ creatures and self-mill payoffs like Terravore (a Lhurgoyf), Living Death, Apocalypse Demon, and Lord of Extinction (definitely keep the Maskwood Nexus to make those last two Lhurgoyfs). For those who try that, two tips: Don't forget to put your dredge creatures from hand to the grave on upkeep with Tortured Existence same for activating Hermit Druid. And don't forget Pyrogoyf sees all the goyf creatures that entered along with it when you Living Death. Haven't tested it yet but Bone Harvest could be great with a dredge creature and goyfs in the grave and Disa in play. As the spell resolves you dredge instead if draw and put the goyfs, that you just put from grave to on top of your library, into play. I think the Mimic Vat is cool, but too slow to generate value and depends on opponents playing destroy/damage creature removal. Liliana of The Veil also strikes me as a card that, if you can protect her and get the discard for value chain going, you're likely winning anyway. She's probably very handy though against voltron and commander-centric-combo opponents like Nadu. If you can catch them without low-value creatures in play. Liliana, Death's Majesty is less efficient than Lilly of the Veil, with a lower ceiling on how good she can be, but the token-making+mill, reanimation and wrath abilities are all pretty good a lot of the time. A couple other Planeswalkers worth considering depending on your deck are Daretti, Scrap Savant and Garruk, Wildspeaker.

[@nik700]

42:49 Rachel's face when she said "A 9/10 TARMOGOYF?!" was the definition of pure bliss and joy

[@hallorette5059]

Buried Alive! Get three lhurgoyfs for 3 mana.

[@malloryab]

Add Ashes of the Fallen and get any three creatures in your deck on the battlefield.

[@Slaaneshy_Concubine]

This card is even in the set xD

[@commandcast]

@@malloryab Ashes of the Fallen is a GREAT idea. Can't believe we missed that!

[@ilshail153]

You can also bury Polygoyf, Pyrogoyf, and Anger to burn down blockers with pyrogoyf, go to combat and swing with poly thanks to Anger giving haste, then have Disa potentially make 3 more goyfs that will further let you burn people with pyrogoyf

[@paulszki]

Or 2 Lhurgoyfs and an Anger so they get to attack right away. Also Morality Shift exchanges your graveyard with your library. So with disa out it basically reads "7 mana, summon your deck"

[@speljester]

Burnished heart is an artifact and creature that you can put in your own graveyard for value. pumping your goyfs. You actually cut a few artifacts. Green ramp spell are great, and I think the cut is fine, but it was serving a function. i like a mass discard like dark deal in this spot. same 3 drop but puts everyone's hand into the yard, more types, more discard for our commander, some card "draw/selection". and messes with your opponents plans. You know. Jund.

[@brisingr0962]

It feels wrong to me that there’s no tarmogoyf itself in the precon

[@lancekidder9011]

They had to leave something for you to get a overpriced reprint set

[@lazybear9644]

True, but your creatures make that creature on combat when they connect lol but still, i get it.

[@TheGtDragoon]

If this deck is meant for boomer jund players to pick up, they already have foil playsets to chose from themselves. Plus tarmogoyf isn’t actually that good of a card in commander anyway. If yall want a tarmogoyf, go get one. They are $10.

[@brisingr0962]

I understand, but come one. It’s tarmogoyf!! You can’t not put tarmogoyf in a goyf deck!!! It’s literally tarmogoyf!!!

[@Klaritsa]

You can use a tarmogoyf token in the 99 as tarmogoyf 😅😅

[@Fyredude23]

Conspiracy should absolutely be an add to this deck, it gives that second copy of Maskwood Nexus’s effect Josh said he wished he had!

[@Competent_Cobana]

Ashes of the Fallen is waaaaaaaaaaaay better. 2 mana vs 5 to do the exact same thing

[@derekstoll1282]

⁠@@Competent_Cobanahow does ashes of the fallen do the exact same thing as maskwood nexus and conspiracy?

[@shayneweyker]

@@derekstoll1282 Since Disa only cares about goyfs hitting the grave from anywhere but the battlefield being able to control creature types in the grave is enough.

[@Competent_Cobana]

@@derekstoll1282 So Ashes of the Fallen makes all your creatures Lhurgoyfs when they are in your graveyard. The way Disa works is, whenever a card is put into your graveyard, she checks to see if that card is a Lhurgoyf. If it isn't she leaves it there, if it is, she pulls it out. When you have Ashes of the Fallen in play, Disa sees every creature that is put into your graveyard as a Lhurgoyf when it is put in there.

[@derekstoll1282]

@@Competent_Cobana for sure, I see it now. I asked earlier because I genuinely didn’t think ashes worked the way conspiracy and maskwood do. But she’ll only trigger after it hits the yard and by that point, it’s a lhurgoyf. Appreciate the follow up and as soon as I read your reply and both cards again, lightbulb went off lol

[@totakekeslider3835]

Breach the Multiverse! You want Jund value? How about a 4 for one and possibly more because you also get all your Goyfs that you mill. I’m also not a huge fan of them, but I did add Cultivate/Kodama’s Reach to my build because they are cheap and fit in nicely curving into Disa. The Spree card, Smuggler’s Surprise, also seems really good here with its flexibility giving protection to your board, milling, and drawing a couple cards. It’s also a way to cheat out Archon and something else at a discount.

[@shayneweyker]

Yo that Mimic vat tech is amazing, thanks for that! Also kudos for actzually putting evasive creatures in. I cant believe none of the videos Ive seen so far were going that route.

We also played these decks. Sitting across the Jund player that makes too many tarmogoyfs every turn was really terrifying!

Recommendation for which gameplay vod on your channel to watch?

[@Ruinred]

I took apart a chainer nightmare adept deck about a year ago (space in my carry bag and was pretty bad since it was the first dexk i made when i got back into magic) so many pieces of that deck are going to fit into this one

[@JaceHubbard]

I actually built Coram as my newest Commander Deck. I think Disa's great, but I just thought it'd be fun to do a Coram Deck 😎

[@starquest6512]

I ran with the same thing. Have been stomping in my group with him. What cards if any did you swap out? I'm thinking of adding Lord of Extinction at the very least for some extra beef for Coram. I added Wight of the Reliquary as well.

[@JaceHubbard]

@@starquest6512 Lord of Extinction I definitely do recommend, I'm also running/trying out Yargle and Multani, and Titanoth Rex. Other than that, I ended up swapping out most of the cards that Rachel and Murph recommended cutting and instead added in more low-cost 2 ramp spells and a few extra self-mill effects, especially "Aftermath Analyst" and "World Shaper".

[@ImAussieMate]

Coram is better with or without upgrading the deck. The trigger is on attack. So you can still attack for 0/5 mill everyone 1 card and then cast or play those cards. It's card advantage.

[@WolfRainCaster]

That Deck Is Crazy 💙💙💙

[@st-ui6rq]

Warstorm Surge is a Terror of the Peaks effect on an enchantment, While costing 6 mana (5c & 1 red) It gives you another avenue for dealing damage. Also since the Goyf tokens base power & toughness is lord-based you'll get more triggers off of Warstorm Surge.

[@Clutchtampa]

[@TheDanteBoots]

Is there a tricky terrain deck tech in the works?

[@horaciodelavega9948]

i hope so

[@danieldragotti2608]

I added Double striker granters. (Disa triggers twice off double strike) and Consuming Blob (tarmogoyf effect that makes copies)

[@shayneweyker]

Yep, Lizard Blades is pretty decent here being an artifact creature.

[@jonathonskogman8337]

If you cut the goyf artifact dont you loose the kindred card type though?

[@chenry84]

A personal favorite pet card I'm going to run for this deck is Cauldron of Eternity. It's downside of whenever a creature you control dies put it on the bottom of your library instead may end up helping Disa then hindering it since you can then later Entomb or Buried alive the goyfs back to the field instead of them sitting in your graveyard. (Check out the new Lively Dirge card from OTJ too). It also comes with a 3 mana reanimate ability that can bring out any other creatures that get put into your graveyard either before the artifact enters or anything that gets milled/discarded afterwards.

[@Googleflax]

I feel like Ashes of the Fallen is an auto-include in the deck; 2 mana artifact that makes all creatures in your graveyard Lhurgoyfs

Oriq Loremage is perfect for this, you tap him search for a card (preferably a lhurgoyf) and bin it and then bring it back with Disa

[@Ruinred]

On this thread of thinking is Gravebreaker Lamia and buried alive. I also like the idea of Chainer nightmare adept

[@mreggs1318]

[@coltonhuddleston8792]

I'm surprised y'all didn't think of Conspiracy, not the set. It's Arcane Adaptation in black! It's the og "make every creature you own the Chosen creature type". Also surprised not many evasion includes, my personal favorite being Zephyr Boots, gives a creature flying and if they connect you draw a card and discard a card, all things you wanna do. Other than that I love the video and the suggestions you guys made, definitely top one I didn't think of was Mimic Vat. Super excited to upgrade this deck

[@MathewMartinez-j4w]

What would you say the decks power level is after upgrades?

[@craftmasterasaga]

What a great End-Step, Monster Hunter is just a great franchise. Love Josh's story about the PS3. I hope WoTC keeps enabling new archetypes in Commander, as it's always refreshing to have a different and interesting way to play the format rather than going for the strongest standalone cards each time. Whenever there's a high degree of synergy and cards you wouldn't usually see at a commander table, that's a great deck in my eyes.

[@koboldmartian4063]

Will you guys be doing an upgrade video for Tricky Terrain?

[@Competent_Cobana]

The thing about Altar of the Goyf, and why I kept it, is that you never actually pay mana for it. You are either discarding it to your various discard effects (you should be running a lot), or flipping it directly into the bin. In either case it's 0 mana, and 0 mana for that effect is insane, especially when you're constantly shitting out 6/7s.

[@The0ryz]

I remember pulling a foil Goyf from MM2015* I was legit floored by that box, I later traded that goyf away when it was still worth about $250. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Deck definitely needs Incarnation Technique. Mill 5 and reanimate for 4 and a black. Can copy and give to someone else to give you a second shot at it. So synergistic.

[@andrewpeli9019]

Disa is a neat card but the synergies are also mild non-bos. You want diverse card types in your yard but you also just want goyfs. You want stuff in your bin but you’re cheating stuff out of your bin. You want cheap evasive creatures but you also just want goyfs and you again want diverse card types in a deck that also just want even more creatures. There’s a lot to balance when building this one.

If cards get a reprint in commander decks it is wise to wait a month or so and just buy what you need on the secondary market. Especially when there is a reliable way to get your hands on them prices will tank for months. For me it isn't worth buying a precon if the strategy doesn't interest me at all.
