Yes and it will. WOTC are doing stupid crap like banning "racist" cards - instead of focusing on the game... commander is the only hope with the makers of the game asleep at the wheel.

a tip for deckbuilding is that if you already have a collection, go through your stuff first and pull out cards you think will work well. You can always save money by using things you own vs. buying singles

Hell yeah, I'm just now doing this. It's been 10 years since I played Standard, never played Commander and am looking to start now. Somehow have held onto two decks. A Red and a Red/Blue. Broke em down and found 60 - 70% of a start. Gearing up to seek out the rest to fill. Dunno how it'll work out but it's a start and thankful to have had these cards still sored to start off.

There are other guides for sure, including the professors. What I couldn't find was the tips on number of card draw, removal and such. It might be that I didn't look hard enough, but it just seemed as everyone knew these numbers but the wasn't a place where you could learn about it

@@joeylras You shouldve dug into the Command Zone's catalogue of content. Theyve done a couple videos on general building tips including general suggestions for card proportions (ie. ~8 sources of artifact ramp, ~5-6 removal, etc...). Those numbers are usually a good place to start and can be tweaked once you're more comfortable with building decks depending on what the goal of the deck is, the way you pilot the deck and who your commander is (not to suggest you're not comfortable with building decks now, just more of a general point for other noobs who may come across this comment).

I've been playing Commander on and off for years now but I still watched the video because Prof has insight I may have not had. Thanks for all your hard work.

Thank you for a great video. Your videos are entertaining, informative and you are an awesome presenter. I bought my first Magic cards recently. I like winter, snow and all that goes with them. I bought two Kaldheim draft booster packs and soon after bought a draft booster box. I have a lot of cards now. I asked the store owner what was most commonly played and he told me Commander. So, I'm putting together my first deck. Finding this video and watching it, a number of times, has been very valuable. I am not clear though on whether I need 100 cards or 101 cards (including the commander) as the rule appears unclear. Thanks for your time!

@TCC Would love some videos to update old players on what's new in MTG. I haven't played/bought/traded since Stronghold which is a long time. Now I'm trying to get back into MTG and would love a few videos on ... Past noteworthy sets, MTG culture and recent history, new abilities and formats, etc...

I just got into Magic about a month ago and am already looking at building my own deck. I have a prebuilt one I bought and have played against a few people with various decks. With the information from this video I feel like I was handed the holy grail of deck building tools!

I'm glad you brought up that ramp does not go towards your land count. I'm a budget EDH fanatic myself and have built over 20 EDH decks. When other people show me their decklist asking for advice, I'm often shocked at their low land count. It really is a common misconception that signets and elves count towards land count. This is made even worse by the fact that new players tend to put a overly high Mana curve into their EDH decks. Great video prof!

This was very helpful. I feel very out of place trying to learn about Magic and building a commander deck to enjoy with friends for the first time. This video gave me a great starting point to tackling my first step in deck building for Magic.

Just bought my first commander deck yesterday, the White and Blue First Flight. Had my first ever MTG match with it. Really enjoyed the deck and I’m excited to eventually build my own, but should probably get more experience playing first. 😅

I have a friend I'm getting into Magic as a whole and I've been sending him vids from you all the time, now I have a great one for EDH! I don't fuuuully love some of your numbers (personally 38 lands for me is the higher end and I tend to look at 35-36 as the average baseline) but overall this is a great video that's going to be extremely helpful! Thanks again for all your hard work.

My first commander deck was Zahid, Djinn of the Lamp. I also had Orah, Skyclave Hierophant and Torgaar, Famine Incarnate decks as well and still do. Now, I’m wanting to build a Tymaret, the Murder King deck and this video has helped me out a lot! I’m going to go to EDHREC and see which cards people are using in their Tymaret decks and decide which ones I want to use in mine. Thanks, prof!
