Idk if you will see this, but I was wondering what would be the essentials to add right out the box? I've noticed that some prices of the cards have risen in price since this video and I don't have too much money to spend. I will eventually get everything because I really like what you've listed. Also, I hope all is well and you made it to safer grounds!

[@bryanstiehm2226]

@@ChrisSmith-bu7neI personally spent around 50 in singles based off this video but, for one inquisitive glimmer fs as its very synergistic and the mana base other than that it’s personal preference, what helped me was I found the base precon on architect than tooo cards out and put them into the sideboard and added all the recommendations or even just the ones you think would be fun

[@stephenlewis6922]

She was my first commander precon when I got started playing and I love both versions of Aminatou so much! Great video yet again.

[@GrazzetMTG]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@sufx0845]

I find that Amphibian downpour, Utter end and eaten by piranhas are great replacements for all the usual single-target white instant removal. With cost reductions on emchantment, it doesn't even cost more mana.

[@GrazzetMTG]

I am certainly a fan of cards that can turn commanders into paperweights, so I agree that Amphibian Downpour and Eaten by Piranhas would make great additions to do just that while staying on theme, for as little as 1 mana a pop. Great suggestions!

[@codyvanderhaegen3186]

This and the Valgavoth are the ones I'm most interested in seeing, so I can't wait to watch this!

[@GrazzetMTG]

Hope you enjoy this one and Valgavoth is up next - so stay tuned for that one!

[@barrysetser3909]

Nice one; interesting design idea made better by some great upgrades. Had already earmarked Scroll Rack and the Top for deck additions. I actually like Penance here as well. Yes, there is debt in the future that the Mrs may or may not know about :)

[@robflothree]

Always enjoy these upgrade vids

[@KromBear]

Thank you for this! Always appreciate your upgrades :)

[@GrazzetMTG]

Glad you like them!

[@zack5913]

Another home run!!! Keep up the great work!!

[@GrazzetMTG]

Thanks! Will do!

[@Hiroichirou]

Sweet , great work as always @GrazzetMTG , can't wait for the Death Toll upgrades

[@GrazzetMTG]

Death Toll is going to be the last precon upgrade on the chopping block but should hopefully be out by next Sat - so stay tuned!

[@jstengren]

Thanks for another gem! Curious what your MtG background is... these rebuilds are always spot on and well thought out.

[@GoWailord]

Great video as always, love the way you explain why the card was removed and what the new one brings to the table so thoroughly but concisely. What is your opinion on Mystic Speculation as a repeatable source of scry 3?

[@ph8808]

Been waiting for this one thanks

[@GrazzetMTG]

Hope it was worth the wait!

[@brianroberts4968]

My deck sort now many thanks!

[@GrazzetMTG]

My pleasure!

[@TheBonemanjack]

In the decklist on Archidekt u have 12 draw spells instead of 11. I think you added Bottomless Pool/Locker Room was this a mistake? If not which card did u swap?

[@SimplementeJA9]

BP/LR is already in the precon, grazzet didnt add it

[@TheBonemanjack]

@@SimplementeJA9 oh yeah you are right. I thought it was van de set because the butterfly icon looked a bit different to me.

[@Warpchy]

Wait, the owl enchantment creature is good? It looked like it was a suggested cut from a coupler other articles I've read. I got lucky and got a Hallowed Haunting from my prerelease, but another suggestion I got Propaganda as another attack prevention piece. Guess I have Alela in over Ghostly just cause I can't find a copy yet. Sun's Grace was great in Theros so should be easy enough to add in and go absurdly wide. Guess I should board Mirrormade back in though.

[@adriandejesus1747]

Great video🎉 i said it before but i would really like to see a marina build from you. I think you would make a great deck 😊 hopefully in the future polls you can do it but no worries if you dont boss!

[@GrazzetMTG]

Rest assured - Marina Vendrell will be in the poll after the alternate commanders, as a lot of folks have been asking for a build featuring her.

[@adriandejesus1747]

@@GrazzetMTG that’s awesome, I look forward to seeing it and remember to take care of yourself! And stay hydrated 😁

[@Lodosswar100]

Finally an interesting one.... so many people just jamming soulless cards in because enchantment theme says i can get away with it.

[@kriegtiger]

I had fun making a Rendmaw deck, I'd be curious to see what you do with it.

[@crovax1375]

I really like the clone/copy package in the deck! Tameshi, Reality Architect would be a great addition to help make use of our graveyard. I voted for The Master of Keys because I would love to see a deck that can make good use of easy to remove but very annoying Enchantments such as Aether Storm, Volrath's Dungeon, and Lethal Vapers!

[@GrazzetMTG]

Yeah, I can see Tameshi, Reality Architect being a good late game enchantment reanimation piece when we don't need the land drops anymore / don't have any lands in hand to make our land drops - good suggestion! And also thanks for voting - The Master of Keys is currently in the top spot so you may just see the build featuring him if he can hold onto his position!

[@brimverbunt1671]

Master of keys! Epic

[@rafaelparaiso7415]

When is the endless punishment video coming out?

[@WilliamLang-v8x]

What is your opinion of netherese puzzle ward in the deck

[@roborob6033]

Hey, this might sound like an odd request,but do you think you could just put up the necrobloom decklist on archideck. I know you never got to the video,but I'd like to see your take on it.

[@GrazzetMTG]

I would.... if I had one.... Sadly I did not have the time to actually build one, so I'm afraid I have nothing to post. Maybe I can tackle this at a later date (since there will be no more precons until next year) but we'll have to see what happens.

[@MawsYT]

@@GrazzetMTG That would be awesome. I value your opinion as some of the decks I have are from your videos, and I have been struggling building Necrobloom, so seeing how you would build it would be nice to reference.

[@dragoonkes3135]

So how do you feel about the new enduring cards in this deck? The snake (tenacity), cat (curiosity), and lamb (innocence).

[@lockecole3726]

I'm not him, but I did add Curiosity to the deck. It's the only one of the cycle that can go into the deck that I'd add, personally.

[@MrPhotog11]

When will you be releasing endless punishment cut rate build

[@wilks2006]

Waiting for that endless punishment upgrade vid.

[@sufx0845]

I tried Starfield of Nix and was very disappointed. On paper it works well, but in practice you lose everything on any board whipe. I ended up cutting it because it was doing me more harm than good, unfortunately.

[@GrazzetMTG]

You not wrong, it can make certainly make us more vulnerable once we hit 5+ enchantments by animating all our enchanments but, on the other hand, it also turn all our high cmc enchantments into beatsticks that can (usually) swing on on the turn that Starfield of Nyx hits the board - enabling us to knock out an opponent or 2 before they have a chance to react. That said, it looks like it has spiked in price again to around $20 now since this mid this week when I got my price of it here, so we may not have a choice but to look for a substitute for it at this point....

[@TheBonemanjack]

What happens when you have Archon of Sun's Grace or Ghostly Dancers on the board and you play the room Secret Arcade? Do you just instantly win the game?

[@lockecole3726]

Unless you have a way to stop the loop, I'm pretty sure you force the game into a draw. There's no "may" on either Archon or Dancers so you're forced to keep making the tokens in a never ending loop. 104.4b If a game that's not using the limited range of influence option (including a two-player game) somehow enters a "loop" of mandatory actions, repeating a sequence of events with no way to stop, the game is a draw.

[@estellairon9448]

Also, I got the infinite loop with ondu spirit dancer (which you can break), but since none of them have haste, I got boardwiped and killed before it was my turn again. So just hitting an infinite isn't an insta win

[@GoldenTCG]

Maybe Valgavoth today ? 👀👀

[@GrazzetMTG]

That was the plan.... But Hurricane Milton had other plans....

[@GoldenTCG]

@@GrazzetMTG Oh, I’m so sorry for you… don’t forget to stay alive my bro

[@danieldragotti2608]

Ah turn 4 omniscient goes hard

[@GrazzetMTG]

Yeah, that can certainly be backbreaking.

[@estellairon9448]

I got it on turn 5, followed by a miracled secret arcade and infinite ondu. Then I miracled an archetype of imagination, and made as many copies of it. But then the opponent before me cheated out an one-sided boardwipe and proceeded to kill me.

[@LouisDies]

Bro where tf are you?

[@escadora2206]

Me waiting for the Rakdos Deck vid: 😴

[@justingoodfun7317]

God I can’t get past this voice. Talk like a normal person please.

[@Devilkin]

I upgraded my deck similarly to this and I am finding it to be such a weak deck. It struggles to hang with other recent non-upgraded precons. It can pop off on very rare occasions, but it's just a really weak, lame deck so far in my experience. I'm probably going to end up stripping it down and taking the best cards out for other decks. I think the designer of this one missed the mark.

[@estellairon9448]

In my games, upgraded and not, I found it pretty strong, but with a really slow start and not really being able to beat out with combat damage. In my playgroup I always got targeted with multiple removals on a single turn whenever I got big enough...
