How Much Life Can We Gain With Dromoka? | Commander Tune-Ups #88

[@WayfarersBauble]

😢 We can still be friends, though. I'm not mad; I'm just hurt.

[@doktarr]

I don't blame Joe Cherries for guessing they would feature the mimeoplasm deck at the end. That deck is dope

[@NitpickingNerds]

It was pretty dang cool

[@frankmagyar5532]

Love the tuneups. I feel like there’s been so much product releasing lately that you guys haven’t had enough time slots to fit these in as much but they’re always a masterclass on deckbuilding

[@wadelee05903]

I'm in the process of building Dromoka and this has been super helpful. Thanks!

[@wakefieldwade4019]

Akroma's Will is in the deck... Chef's kiss!!

[@benchen2227]

The mana curve is quite high for the number of lands, especially when the mana acceleration is very mimmal.

[@NitpickingNerds]

The deck has 10+ ramp but maybe it can use a another few lands

[@JaimeAGB-pt4xl]

Gonna be honest... this is the case of someone not knowing how to built around a theme and just sticking to putting the mono-colored staples of its identity to try and making it work (money over sinergy)... But I'm glad this kind of videos to help people improve their decks and teaching others how to do as well... ARE GREAT. Thanks for the content 👍🏻

[@DLselduto]

Lol, when beezy said if you have a 113 card deck moxfield is the best way to cut it down to 100. that's exactly what im doing right now while watching this

[@NitpickingNerds]

Is it exactly 113 that would be crazy lol

[@Jwhiz24]

I get that moxfield sponsors them, but I prefer Archidekt. Maybe I'm just not using moxfield correctly.

[@christopherfields6146]

Thanks for this kind of video I really enjoy learning what the Nerds like playing! Joe is now Joe the deck builder !

[@skullkrusher-dx4kg]

Who do you think is better lathiel or heliod. I feel like heliod is a stronger card jyst do to being very sticky but lathiel offers an extra color and overall more counters.

[@nathanspore2856]

How do you submit for a deck tune up video? What tier of patron do you have to be in

[@avatarofpapermagic]

Question for you Joe and Beezy, would you do a deck tune up for the power level your group uses? For instance, I have been really thinking of doing Tuya Bearclaw commander as my first ever pauper deck. Could you tune the deck to fit into the power level your group uses? Using that as an example, be good to see some Patreons getting tune ups for decks in spelltable

[@aerynmusick4548]

A couple of companies make a nose balm for cats and dogs. I use the one from natural dog company, but I found another one from bodhi dog.

[@crillsnort417]

So I've seen Druid of Purification show up on this channel a few times and wanted to say that I don't quite understand it. It sounds like it has "Tempting Offer" disguised in it's text. In other words, if everyone else decides it's a four mana Reclamation Sage that can hit hexproof cards then that's (mostly) what it ends up being. Have I missed something? Or have player's ignored the fine print?

[@shadowfate05]

Because it's removal, not directly enhancing the caster's board in a way that compounds the more people that accept it. Sure removing your opponent's stuff makes your board more powerful relatively, but it also does that same for each other opponent. If your Smothering Tithe is chosen by player A playing a Druid of Purification, are you going to tell me that the optimal play for you is to let Player B keep their Rhystic Study, because that would give player A the least value from the Druid? In most cases, no, because the value player B loses from also losing their Rhystic Study is better for you than saying "nope, I chose to not engage in this shenaniganry"

[@SWAT6809]

Well if every player decides not to hit something youre right. However unlike the tempting offer cycle youre not taking a ressource and giving the controller and equal ressource. Youre basically saying "I destroy this target, everyone else can remove something thats not controlled by me for free". While you technically benefit because your board remains untouched, its a way more tempting offer to take for others, especially if youre the player that has been hit.

[@darthemphatic4654]

Have you checked Amber's gums? Make sure they aren't red/inflamed.

[@HanDaimond]

I may gain life with Dromoka, but Amber won my heart.

[@robertsweeney7040]

Possible Idea: Is it possible to build a Commander land hate deck that destroys all lands but gets its own mana from indestructable lands, artifacts and creatures? Are there enough of those sources to build a deck?

[@jeffreylong1478]

Any deck that has lathiel and/or archangel of thune should include spike feeder. I have a lathiel deck and it’s easily the best card in the deck.

[@energetek661]

Decktech, Amber, and first!!!

[@Woundedon6s]

My Dromoka deck is a Janky Infinate Tribal deck. Bunch of janky infinite combo's. After the first build, I came to the conclusion I need more tutors to find pieces, but it's getting closer.

[@ianpederson1038]

Moxfield ad at 11:25 calling it

[@SerendipitousKimberly]

For Amber's nose, try some neosporin. You may need to put a cone of shame on her so that they don't rub at it and let it heal. Keep an eye on it. If it keeps getting worse, you may want to see a vet.

[@JetNAmplify]

love the video but my only critisum about the video editing is that when you put The word "ADD" or "CUT" at the bottom of the card I cant read the last few lines of text. minor nitpick. :v

[@NitpickingNerds]

Very fair nitpick :)

[@Turkin4tor]

Can I just politely add, it's a bit strange seeing 'Cut' cards first before anything else, like to the one person this video is for specifically yeah that's fine but it'd be kinda nice to see the whole 130+ cards or whatever that you're cutting from, it's just random good cards at the beginning out of context

[@crazman36]

Practice what you preach guys, I feel like you sacrificed a little too much of each of the pillars for flavor. Deck still looks super fun though! A+ on synergy

[@6trance]

i find exotic orchard...kind of useless if you need a color and your opponents aren't in those colors you need...granted it's f-en budget as hell but still rather have something that gives me colored mana vs colorless in early game play...in my opinion

[@DarkPikachuYTV]

Yeah i don’t why you be high on it in 2 colors

[@iPhonix07]

I don’t want to seem rude but who doesn’t put soul sisters in a lifegain deck?

[@RiskyComment]

I bet the moxfield ad will be at 0:28

[@NitpickingNerds]

That is not the real ad

[@TheSkepticalCat]

For Amber's nose I know you can use Vaseline, it won't hurt cats to eat it.

[@jeremymoore7167]

[@hermodnitter3902]

16:40 people constantly underestimating the card draw ability on Loran. It's not terrible, rather terribly good...

[@mutantcube1737]

Alright internet, I am your vessel. I am going to make a commander deck and im looking for some fun ideas. The deck concept must be makeable with less than 100$, and be fun to play... bonus points for fun to play against. It must include red, and including black is discouraged. Should be usable to power level 7-8 Note: I don't want a decklist, just a deck concept. I make my own decks. Group hug is acceptable, but should have a way to win without thoracle or second sun

[@mutantcube1737]

@OnTele-Gram--Nitpickingnerds ?

[@keiharris332]

Rash on the nose?! Step 1: Pick up your Sun Droplet (Best card in the game) Step 2: Apply to your nose Step 3: Bask in the glory during every upkeep

[@jaystoel8980]

I agree thems should be more sensitive.

[@bobfranklin2572]

Pleanty of overrun effects you say beezy? 🤨 Name them.😌

Lol what?

[@benchen2227]

I just go through the deck again. The mana base is not great. Why spend $10 budget on Nature's lore, Three Visits and Skyshroud Claim when there are only 2 plains &forest lands? Rampant growth could be better or just use signets. Arcane signet is less than $1. And 23% budgets are spent on lands. That is extravagent. On that price range any lands > $5 brings subtle improvement to the deck compared to a $33 Sylvan library or a $20 Sensei's Divining Top. A few other questionable cards: Loran of the Third Path may not be the best choice when Its price = Reclamation Sage + Skyclave Apparition + Eternal Witness. Augur of Autumn works better than Beast Whisperer in Midrange control deck. They are on the same price range. God could we get those elder dragons a lightning greave ? They look lonely on the board. What is worse than a Grave Titan ? A Sun Titan in a deck without fetch lands and Eternal Witness. Kogla, the Titan Ape is a viable replacement. What is Old Gnawbone's best friend? Natural order. Get rid of The Great Henge, one can have a perfect natural order package. For non-token/non-elf deck Return of the Wildspeaker may be better than Shamanic Revelation. At least one can draw 5 when commander is on board. I just put 100 cards together www.moxfield.com/decks/pJTWo_Cg6kyOXY1BCFaOcg Can't believe $500 budget works like budgetless. It even has the near perfect mana base.

AMBER AMBER AMBER This is a recommendation for her nose. I run a high quality pet food store. It sounds like dehydration, there are really good wet foods made of 100% animal meat. Or you can buy a chicken broth specifically for pets, and pour it over her dry food. Switch to that type of food from here on out. If you find she's still scratching her nose and all over her body it's time for the vet.

[@bathsaltcircus9630]

Is this a tune up or a downgrade? Cutting cards for budget = strictly decreasing the power level of the deck

Not always

Facial itching in a cat can be anything from a food allergy to a yeast infection (in the common causes) to some very weird stuff in the rare causes. KZbin comments aren't an appropriate place to ask for human medical advice, and they aren't an appropriate place to ask for medical advice for your pets either. Go ask your vet, who can actually examine the animal.
