[@Kizer5Red]

Why does the Vizier of POISONS not have infect or at the least deal damage to players in poison counters.... I don't like infect, but when you name a card POISON and it gives -1/-1 counters all over the place it really should have a Poison counter mechanic.

[@Eliarbreton]

Infect was not a mehcanic in the set, for some reason they only stick to a couple of mechanics in each set, so the card could not have infect

[@markyday9076]

Infect is specific keyword ability, like landfall. It is NOT evergreen. It never has been. Never will be. Even if they have one or two cards that are functionally similar, if the block isn't using the keyword as a block theme, there is no reason to put it on. It would disenfranchise new players who have never seen infect before, and end up with a Hapatra during a sealed or limited game. Landfall functionally appears in most sets, but only gets labelled as landfall in a Zendikar set.

[@dagnariusd7054]

First off I would like to thank you guys for putting these videos together. There are definitely my favorite ones to watch, really like how you explain the card interactions and the little graphics. Watching these has got me through some long boring watches. Really liking the Hapatra deck, might try to add parts of it to my Atraxa deck.

[@generalpedro6082]

Great Tech! Watched this video in the middle of brewing decks with my brother. He picked Hapatra and I picked Neheb. This video arrived right on time... Inspired us to improve our brewing! Thanks for the great content and for answering on FB as well! Again, have a great time!

[@jackpabich763]

Can't believe I haven't commented here sooner. I'm in the process of building mine now! Word of note: Hapatra+Blowfly Infestation+Blood artist (can be substituted) with any creature dying is infinite damage. You keep putting the -1/-1 counter onto the new snake you create, killing it and repeating the process. Hope to see Hapatra visited again at some point! She is super sweet and the game knights video is what inspired me to make her the first commander I ever build from scratch.

[@ThisGuy121033]

I have been play testing Hatatra as soon as she was spoiled and I love the deck so much. Its just oozing with synergy and tonight I pulled time stamped foil Hapatra at the pre-release I went to. Super stoked and the deck tech gave me a lot of ideas to brew around with my own version of the deck. Love the show guys.

[@leonidasspartan9842]

So glad you guys did hapatra! This card was love at first sight for me. I love commanders that really make you work to make them good

[@erikbraun473]

This Hapatra deck was super sweet and spicy. Loving the list! Josh Lee Kwai is quickly becoming my favorite deck builder and Game Knights is quickly becoming my favorite magic related video content. Love it guys! Keep up the epic work!

[@Ljaysauz]

yeah, agreed. I loved his Rishkar, Vial/Thrasios, and now this one. He really knows how zero in on commander synergies. This deck looks super fun too

[@cheesytrojan]

Nest of Scarabs from Amonkhet is pretty much an auto-include. An enchantment for 2B, it reads "Whenever you put one or more counters on a creature, create that many 1/1 black insect creature tokens." The new Liliana, Death Wielder could be pretty good as well. She's 5BB for a planeswalker, which is a little expensive, but she starts at five loyalty, +2 to give target creature -1/-1 counter, -3 to destroy target creature with a -1/-1 counter on it. On top of that, there's the new sorcery called Liliana's Influence. It reads "Put a -1/-1 counter on each creature you don't control. You may search your library and/or graveyard for a card named Liliana, Death Wielder, reveal it, and put it into your hand. If you search your library this way, shuffle it." That's some pretty good value. Six mana to put a counter on each creature an opponent controls and get that many snakes. Following turn, cast the Liliana you've just tutored into your hand and kill on of their biggest threats. Sneks then protect liliana. Seems pretty good to me. Even if you don't run the planeswalker in the deck, Liliana's Influence is still an amazing card that sets your deck up for some pretty disgusting synergy and combos.

[@MrLowar]

Watching this because I want to make a hapatra deck. You and your team have really improved your production so much. Amazing.

[@PlaneswalkerProject]

I love that this Commander gives so much value to older cards from Shadowmoor, one of my favorite sets. It also makes wither oddly relevant again?

[@EvanMMoon]

I am so exited to see you boys learning to play this game. 18 removal, no cheating, minimum is the plan, unless you just are submitting to being run over, and really aren't playing the game. 

[@endlessorbaggins8223]

Here is a three cards combo in Hapatra that I found (I have search google and did not found anything about this combo). It involves Devoted Druid, Flourishing Defense and Stoneforge Masterwork. Equip the Stoneforge on Devoted Druid then tap druid for mana and untap it by putting a -1/-1 counter on it. This will trigger Flourishing Defense that creates an elf token, which gives +1/+1 to Devoted Druid, thanks to Stoneforge. Because Druid thoughness is boosted from the +1/+1, you can repeat this infinite; giving you infinite elf token and infinite green mana.

[@KaosKittyStudios]

I'm so excited for Hapatra, as soon as she was spoiled Is started brewing with her! I can't wait to get my hands on her, I've got pretty much everything else so I'm playing the waiting game at this point.

[@kevinscott8437]

Quite an interesting deck. Your perspective always makes me want to play decks that I previously had no interest in!

[@Dhixar]

You said there is no infinite combo on the deck, but you do, with hapatra, blowfly infestation and any parallel lives effect, by putting the -1/-1 counters on your tokens, you get infinite tokens

[@19925suisniZR]

Also quillspike and devoted Druid. Tap for mana then untap with -1-1 counter, use the mana to remove the counter with quillspike then repeat, infinite snakes and a infinite power and toughness big boy. Throw in an alter of dementia or phyrexian alter for infinite mill or mana. Draw and play your deck with skullclamp and gg

[@Lucarioguild7]

Even though I love G/B I was pretty meh on Hapatra but then I saw your deck in action and now I have to build yet another golgari deck

We can see that you do that for a liveing ! It's crazy i've been watching you guys for 2 years now ever since i started playing when Khans released. And now i have my own fully powered commander that i've slowly started to pimp out ! Thank you guys for beeing here with us along for the ride !

[@joshleekwai8895]

Aleksandar Lazarov That's great to hear. Super glad you enjoy the show and what Commander deck is it that you're blinging out?

[@dielabtec7882]

Karador, Ghost Chieftain. He does all the things i like to do in commander. He brings so much value along with him there are lots of good cards that go infinite with each other i didn't even realize :D Also if they stop you you can just play the value game and beat everyone down but i'm guessing that you've experince that for your self :) I'm looking forward to building Hapatra. When you played her it looked so fun. You are just a really good deckbuilder you sat on your own and you made her work really well and she seemed like the worst of the bunch to me.

[@Brawler_1337]

Aleksandar Lazarov Karador buddies! I've elected to avoid most combos with him in favor of a grindy value deck with synergies all over the place. The only infinites in there are interactions I forgot about where all pieces are worth including in the deck on their own.

[@dielabtec7882]

Like sun titan fiend hunter and any sac autlet and blood artist honestly they are alot of cards that are good on there own and accidently kill evetyone. I do play alot of hatebears to stop other people from doing there degenerate combos its overall a very fun deck to play

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

For people who are interested in making a Hapatra deck, here are some other great cards to have in your deck. Some are must haves, while some depend more on how you want to build your deck. Flourishing Defenses is a must have since it makes a 1/1 creature whenever a -1-1 counter is placed on a creature! This an Hapatra together will get you tons of creature tokens! It's the same thing as Nest of Scarabs, except it costs two more mana and It's green. Quillspike is great if you have a lot of creatures with persist and or creatures that give themselves -1 counters. It's a cheap creature that for only one black or green mana you remove a -1 counter from one of your creatures to give Quillspike +3+3 for the turn. Quillspike with Devoted Druid and Hapatra for a infinite power and toughness creature and a infinite number of 1/1 deathtouch snakes anyone? Lockjaw Snapper is a 4 mana 2/2 creature with Wither that puts a -1 counter on each creature with -1 counter when it dies. Cauldron of Souls allows you give any number of creatures Persist, allowing you to not only bring back your non token creatures, but get lots of snake tokens with Hapatra. Incremental Blight for five mana gives one -1 counter to one creature, 2 to another creature, and 3 to another creature, allowing you to weaken/kill up to three creatures and get three snakes with Hapatra, and six tokens with Scarab Nest or Flourishing Defenses. Carnifex Demon comes into play with two -1 counters, so that triggers Hapatra, and you can pay one black to remove a -1 counter and give each other creature a -1 counter, which could give you tons of snakes. You just have to be carefull with using that ability. Ashnod's Altar is a great card for mana ramping! It should be in any creature token deck since you can create so much mana with it! Champion of Lambholt is another must in the deck, since it gets a +1 counter every time a creature comes into play under your control, and creatures with less power than Champion of Lambholt can not block creatures you control, making it easy to get Hapatra through to get It's trigger, and for getting a ton of tokens through to help close out the game. Westvale Abbey is another must have. I don't think I need to explain why this should be in any creature token deck. Mind Slash is another nice card since for one black and sacrificing a creature you look at a opponent's hand a discard a card from it. Late game you can easily take out someone's hand, or at the least you can remove threat cards. Blade of the Bloodchief helps make Hapatra big, making it much harder to kill it in battle. Even though It's not a vampire, lots of creatures are going to die in a commander game, especially with a ton of -1 counters and all the 1/1 deathtouch snakes. Evolutionary Leap helps you get the next creature in your library into your hand by just sacrificing a snake and paying one green mana. You can also sacrifice a bunch of creatures when a board wipe happens and have you plenty of untapped mana so that you at least get a bunch of card value. Phyrexian Splicer can take flying, first strike, trample, or shadow from a creature and give it to one of your own for the turn by tapping and paying 2 mana. Very helpful for against decks with lots of flying creatures since flying is one of the weaknessess that I found with a Hapatra deck. Although It's not the best way of using it, you could even use Phrexian Splicer to help get Hapatra though to someone to get It's -1 counter trigger.

[@snowcoveredplainswalker442]

Hapatra is the commander I adored from Amonkhet the moment she was spoiled, had her built a week after release and finally have her tuned up, she's easily one of my top 5 favorite EDH decks I own, it is funny when my friend breaks out The Scorpion God when she's at the table though XD

[@spelldeck]

Hapatra is such an awesome commander. I just won at my store on commander tuesday. So many good synergys.

[@sofiaholiday5344]

Marcus The Mouse happy birthday -frosty the snowman

[@BiomeWalker]

You do have an infinite combo in your deck Josh!! Hapatra + Blowfly Infestation + Parallel Lives = infinite snake If you put a -1/-1 counter on one of your snakes, then it dies (Blowfly trigger * 1) and Hapatra triggers once to give you two snake with Parallel lives. Use the blowfly trigger to kill one of your other snakes. Each time you complete the loop you are up a snake.

[@flynn6812]

I built my pre-release deck around her. With -1/-1 counters you NEEDED to have her in your hand. I lost most of my creatures because they were weaker and I didn't have Hapatra on the field, therefore not getting the trigger from hapatra. hapatra will be a great commander

[@dotwav4228]

You guys are seriously awesome! Just love to watch your vids.

[@jakeg3032]

I'm so happy that I pulled Hapatra at the prerelease, I'm definitely making a commander deck with her :D

[@JeroenHeremans]

Been wondering about a new commander... this is not at all what I am used to play, but I LOVE this deck... Hope I can get my hands on the more expensive cards...

[@hawkeye137137]

Kefnet is my favourite too. Card draw is always good, it can be reduced to 2 mana with Training Grounds and being able to fuel landfall can be interesting. Would be good as one of 99 in a Patron of the Moon deck probably.

[@IntentTheDreamer]

Is it me or did they forget about Quillspike? That paired with Devoted Druid and Hapatra makes all the snakes you want.

[@dawubber6676]

Decimator Beetle. My favorite card to use with Hapatra.

[@-KillaWatt-]

I feel like this deck needs Carnafex Demon

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

Yes I thought of that too. I think that's more of a preference card for the deck than a must have though since using It's -1 counter to everything else ability would kill all of your snakes. You would have more than before, but any that you had that could attack would not be able to attack that turn. Also using it twice would kill Hapatra, which is the last thing that you want to do since the deck heavily relies on Hapatra being in play. You'd have to use it once, then after Hapatra dies if Carnafex Demon is still around bring Hapatra back and use the ability of Carnafex Demon for the second time.

[@-KillaWatt-]

XenoSmasher I totally agree with that. I think the Demon would be good if you are in a position where you can't attack with your general or have anything that can put out -1 counters (like Containgen Clasp

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

Yeah if you have cards like Contagion Engine or Contagion Clasp I can see it being worth it to use Carnafex Demon's ability if you want to get rid of a bunch of creatures so you can swing in for more damage or if just like you said you need to get rid of a bunch of creatures. You're right. You don't have to remove the counters, but then he's just a 4/4 flying for six mana, which is not worth it. You would only get one snake. Hapatra only gets you one snake per creature that you put a -1 counter on no matter how many -1 counters you put on a single creature. You could put ten -1 counters on a single creature, but it would still only give you one snake. Now Scarab Nest and Flourishing Defenses are different. They will give you a 1/1 token for each -1 counter that you put on each creature, so for example let's say that you have one of those two cards out and you play Black Sun's Zenith and X is 5, and there are a total of 15 creatures out with a combined toughness of 50. You would get a total of 50 1/1 creature tokens. There are good number of cards that are really powerful in this deck, however I think Black Sun's Zenith is the most powerful since you can clear the board and then give a ton of creature tokens. It's almost like Garruk's Wake, except it doesn't destroy planeswalkers, but you can cast it for less.

[@ChaosMonkeyPlays]

what about glistening oil?

[@JuQmadrid]

Leave Happatra in the command for a while when you have Carnifex Demon and Grim Poppet and just watch them cry.

[@dam49365]

Josh must have been happy when he saw obelisk spider and ammit eternal. I buildt a standard deck around Hapatra, works nice.

[@CodenameJD]

Josh, did you consider adding much in the way of +1/+1 counters to the deck? Nissa, Voice of Zendikar, for instance, as a way to balance out minus counters and allow you to keep building your board. I'm definitely thinking about it a lot, with all these effects that benefit from placing minus counters, as a way to remove them and get to keep placing more. I'm doubly thinking about it as I'm planning on including persist creatures in my deck, including Cauldron of Souls, so adding plus counters allows me to reuse those. Similarly, did you consider Mikaeus the Unhallowed? Giving your creatures Undying so they can come back and then remove those plus counters with Hapatra et al so they can keep dying and returning seems sweet to me.

[@mathieu7921]

I was wondering how did this deck evolve over the years. Do you have a recent decklist?

[@legoking1001]

There isnt alot of new cards added tbh, Yawgmoth is an amazing combo piece to add, going infinite with hapatra and any blood artist effect The 3 drop black enchantment from ikora that has the cutthroat effect is really good The new sword of truth and justice really does alot There is a couple new cards but without the big cards like cradle and stuff like that, you can build a really strong budget version

[@seasnek7024]

Great Idea. I'd love to play a deck like this if I ever got any cards that give negative 1 counters. Would it be possible for you guys to make a video similar to this, but make it just on an eldrazi EDH deck? I have so many cards that synergise well with eldrazi, but I have no idea what commander would bring about the most fun with using scions to pay for bigger spells. could you help pls? also love the videos, can't stop watching ur game nights.

[@ontheplaymtg3777]

Key to the City and Archfiend if Ifnir is a good combo in hapatra, because you discard a card, and make hapatra unblockable. Just for tapping the damn thing. Love it.

[@sh1pme2themune9]

This commander has me so hyped

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

It just hit me that you have thirteen mana ramp cards in the deck! I'm curious as to what they all are? I know Cryptolith Rite and Sol Ring is in there and probably Ashnod's Altar, Wall of Roots, and Sword of the Animist, and maybe Plague Myr and Perilous Forays, but what are the other six? I would think thirteen mana ramp would be more than needed for this deck since I'm guessing it doesn't have that many high mana drops. Is it to increase the chance that you have enough mana to play Hapatra after he/she dies many times, and still have mana to make another play? Also what are the other two board wipes aside from Black Sun's Zenith and Contagion Engine? Is Midnight Banshee one of them?

[@deathstea9arty733]

Don’t know if any actually wants to make this deck but as a commander player there is actually an infinite combo with this deck. devoted Druid, Necrotic ooze, channelers initiate, Happatra. Ultimately it’s infinite mana and snakes

[@derekmullen3503]

Just would like to say you guys have great content and I have built around this commander and it is super op, but josh if you are still running this deck I would like to suggest a new card from battlebond called generous patron. Seems amazing in hapatra that’s putting -1 counters on your opponents creatures

[@Rogue-rz2uj]

For the pre-release event I managed to pull two Hapatras and made an amazing snake deck which annoyed a lot of people.

[@TheShaddox78]

If going head to head, there is an infinite combo with blowfly infestation targeting your own snakes. Put a neg counter on your snake it does you put another snake into play target it again, do it 1000 times then play Bitter Ordeal and remove everyone's libraries.

[@456jm]

Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons seems like the type of Commander deck that wants to go Snake Tribal where as running Nest of Scarabs and Flourishing Defenses to get tokens of other creature types makes it a bit inconsistent IMO unless you don't care one way or the other.

[@RosieAndLowKi]

Hey, I noticed that Josh has mentioned a Mazirek deck a few times and I was wondering why he thinks it was bad. I have been wanting to brew around an under used Golgari general and Mazirek seemed perfect. But after seeing Hapatra, I can't decide which of the 2 to use. Is one more fun than the other? Is one more viable/powerful? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@cyfersquid]

Cool show guys! That said, I don't get why people are so down on the new gods; they aren't that overtly powerful, but they do cool things and give some direction for deckbuilding, while not being narrow. Very 75%, although I guess that's a negative for some =P Good as part of the 99 too.

Daniel D'Cotta Yeah that is definitely a thing.

[@CodenameJD]

I blame you guys for making Blowfly Infestation's price blow up :P

[@karfsma778]

You know what's super fun in Hapatra? Anything Phyrexian.

[@jarroddoern1555]

you guys rock. just blew my mind with these cards. I'm an inexperienced player. I built a shitty standard deck based around hapatra. fuck that deck. I'm using a bunch of these cards and playing modern. thanks for the video!!!!

[@s7121n9s]

What snake deck is better? This hapatra deck josh uses or the kaseto one Prof plays?

[@austinwike5802]

Have you guys thought about a Zo-Zu deck for Jimmy seeing as how he lives red?

[@sparktoad]

I'm building Hazoret, I love her cards for damage effect.

[@Ianoxen]

Add gravepact and dictate of erebos for massive removal. then Zulaport and Blood artist for win condition/resilience. Champion of Lambholt will add power.

[@FaithsAvenger]

I have a question for our hosts. when I go to gps I give out tokens from Josh Krause because tokens deserve to be beautiful too. are there any specific ones you'd like? I give one to every new edh opponent I play against and plan on getting with you guys while I'm there

[@joshleekwai8895]

At the moment I'm partial to 1/1 deathtouching snakes :-)

[@cameronzwicke5761]

Jimmy were you in VGHS? It​ was a good show.

[@cameronzwicke5761]

love the channel. keep up the great content.

[@MegaDrMC]

So excited to play Neheb

[@gilbertoloria4133]

Please I need help with a Rashmi EDH, I wanna try make it midrange control, I really love see you playing with it or deck tech.

[@bAd12cheZ]

You guys are the best, *the best*.

[@jakemoore4887]

I love your channel and I would love to see you guys. I'm 13years old and probably be playing camander. you inspire me

[@ashadeofnight]

You guys should do the next game knights with all the new gods as commanders. I know that would entail building mono colour and josh finds that boring usuall but I think they are all really good to build around.

[@necowallace2966]

Downloaded the lifelinker app and me and my friends love it.😁😁

[@missilepenguin]

Any thoughts on Midnight Banshee? Sure it kills your current snakes, but you get a ton of snakes back, plus it doesn't kill Hapatra or your Scarabs.

[@joshleekwai8895]

I have it in the deck list. I'm honestly not 100% certain about it since at some point you want to attack and with Banshee you kind of never can (unless you can give haste). But I've never gotten it out in a game yet and it seems pretty good in theory so...

[@matheusmoreira4974]

I'm really like the Hapatra commander deck. I'll build a Hapatra commander with infect creatures and spells. What do you think?

[@Feyamius]

Unfortunately, there is no Golgari bicycle land. :( So I didn't even put the Archfiend into my Hapatra build, despite it'd be plain awesome. #lesssynergybetweenarchfiendofifnirandhapatra But there are the four monocolored cycle lands, I guess ... so maybe I'll rethink this. If I don't have cycle lands in hand when I draw the Archfiend, I can just cycle him. Sooo ... worth trying nonetheless?
