Hey Professor, could you have your editors go over the included graphical sentences to double check for spelling errors? I'm thinking that "BETS OVERALL DECK COMSTRUCTION" might be a bit wonky. This is the only criticism to be found from this long time lurker/watcher.

the mana bases have been improving in the commander precons. the comparison to the abysmal Ur-Dragon precon mana base is apt and telling. we haven't seen guildgates since the Kaldheim precons I'm not in the market for either deck, but the reprints are pretty decent. the ones in the $1-5 range aren't big money, but generally they maintain that kind of price because they're universally useful
@donaldmartocello351
@donaldmartocello351 Жыл бұрын
Prof, I think you were too kind on the manabase with painbow. Yes it's an improvement over ur-dragon but the gap between this and even a budget 5 color EDH Mana base is huge. No reason enemy pain lands (or ally but apparently that's too expensive for wotc to reprint) and/or filter lands or heck even a cycle of kaldheim snow duals (same synergy as tango lands with slow fetches) could have been included instead of so many basics. And keep in mind this is a very pip intensive deck with a proper wubrg commander that costs wubrg and a bunch of high costed multicolor legendaries. I have a feeling there's gonna be a lot of players unhappy with this out of the box and basically bricking each turn and not having enough pips to get out all their stuff.

I mean... there IS one reason, though the validity of it is debatable: that gold expansion symbol. New players aren't likely to be excited by a deck where all the rares are lands, unless in the future we get a sweet "Oops, All Lands" commander. 5+ rare, mana fixing lands is already WAY above curve for what they usually do, and it works well with the budget common and uncommon lands. Maybe adding the common fetches from New Capenna wouldn't have been the worst idea though... A slow mana base is better than one that doesn't work at all.
@MalteLewandowski
@MalteLewandowski Жыл бұрын
I see were you are coming from, but personally I have no problem being a bit slower in a 5c deck. I have the advantage of having access to all colors in return. Also, in some playgroups it is even not as good, to be hyper efficient in the beginning as you can be seen as the main thread very fast. I totally get the point of a perfect mana base in an 1:1 environment, but in multiplayer, a lot of different things count, like politics, threat assesment and in general having 3 opponents. Usually, in my playgroups, if a player is a bit slower (e.g. he missed some land drops or something like that), he will not get targeted that much, as other players are seen as the threat. Also I am an advocate of playing more board wipes in such a deck, as they can catch you back up. Overall, I feel that optimized mana bases are not as important as peope think they are in commander (besides very competitive playgroups and cedh of course).

My recommendation for a slight mana base upgrade (still budget though) if you want to run less tap lands is to run the 5 panoramas and 5 odyssey filter lands and take out the tri lands. The panoramas and slow fetches are both great stand ins for budget players to replace with true fetch lands when they are ready and shocklands for the tango lands and odyssey filters. These 20 cards (panoramas, slow fetches, tango lands and odyssey lands) have been my go to budget mana base for 5 color decks for a couple years now and are a nice balance between fixing and tempo before upgrading to true fetches and shocks

Funfact I bought painbow and before modifying it I played about 4 games with it. Other decks were made by other players I don't remember whole deck setup but two of them were creature based win decks and last one was a combo deck. I won two of those games by simply using Jared's 1st and second ability and other 5c creatures especially two-headed hellkite and maelstrom angel. I used single removals to get rid of problematic creatures or permanents. It was usually like this. Put krosan verge on 2nd turn (both my wins happened this way) crack it at third turn. Put Jared on 4th turn put a kavu as blocker. At 5th turn I often had 6 mana so I played two headed hellkite pump it with Jared's -3 along with kavu suddenly a flying meance 10/10 attacks someone I draw two cards. Someone killed the hellkite? get it back with Jared's ulti rinse and repeat. Other cards kept people in check long enough for me to kill everyone with Maelstrom Angel or two-headed hellkite. Iridian maelstrom and time wipe let me kept my biggest creature on board and getting it bigger while cleaning everyone else's board. After modifying the deck I might even lowered its efficiency honestly I might be just keep it as is only to replace the lands with triones and new capenna ones.

Nice breakdown of the Painbow Manabase! Just looking at a list of Lands I don't know if I would have noticed all that! Thanks!

I agree regarding the WUBRG prof! I played the ur-dragon since it was released and it was hard to upgrade it to fully operational. The new one has a good manabase, though a confusing strategy unless tweaked properly.

I've spent years playing Yugioh and after seeing the Professor's videos, I've since switched to magic, where I've only had the most fun I've ever experienced playing a TCG. Thanks Prof! As the wise Tiny Tina once said, "You dah real choco chip!"

Welcome to mtg family and I agree. I played yugioh and pokemon tcg for years but since I got introduced to mtg in 2015 have not went back to any other tcg. Its just so much well rounded.

The new decks cost 5 dollars more than all the other decks do. Over here all the pre-cons had a fixed price at approximately 55 dollars. Remember when you'd get one 60-dollar game for your birthday or Christmas? Maybe even two? Now we're bombarded with product that is super tempting to buy, at least every other month. I guess I shouldn't complain that they're doing their job well. I want the cards! It's just annoying that it's so expensive. Along with food and power getting more expensive (no politics; that's just a fact), it sours the mood a little to see the already luxury product getting just a little bit more expensive as well. The best solution is to buy singles when necessary. If they print a whole deck and I want enough cards from it, then whatever. I just wish they'd cut the price of the decks in half. I bet they'd still make a huge profit. Sadly a huge profit isn't enough. It's gotta be the _biggest_ . I'm sorry I'm complaining so much. It's a neat game, and I'm having fun playing it still! It's just... like the Prof said; "it is okay to love something, but still be critical of it". Also, they can technically ask any price they want. It is completely within my power to not buy... or to buy. I just wish I could have my cake and eat it too. In fact, what saddens me is that it hasn't always been like that; we've had less expensive commander decks in the past. Thanks for the vid, Prof!

Painbow's better once you make some you tweeks to it. I added Child of Alara, Esika, and made Jodah the Unifier my commander for starters (while keeping Jared in the deck). I removed the two Ikoria mutation legends since their addition was really odd and also added Jegantha, the Wellspring as a companion by removing Time Wipe and added the Legacy Weapon as well. I also added the World Tree and the NC triomes. I did make some more modifications, but I can't remember off the top of my head and the deck's at home, but the deck is a lot of fun once you make your own tweaks to it (as is the norm with these precons).

Dihada's deck can be crazy if upgraded too. Putting Underworld Breach, some tutors and flicker results in a competently powerful breach deck.

@@SammySlamma92 you don't need demonic tutor. Sidisi works. There's also profane tutor. You only need to find a way to get Underworld Breach into your hand, and flicker to hand or grave(unmarked grave does this, as does milling it off of dihada). You can still make powerful deck with some affordable upgrades.

All those three color legendary creatures in Painbow are probably there in case a new player opens a Jodah and tries to make him their commander. It looks like the deck designer paid attention to mana costs for the sake of cascading, but didn't prioritize ensuring the abilities those legends have are synergistic with the rest of the deck.

I think you haven't tried the deck, on the other hand I don't think Wizards does that because who is going to be so stupid that instead of choosing better legendary cards for his Yodah deck he chooses some bulk cards from a precon with a totally different strategy which apparently you do not know why otherwise you would not comment on that. There are better bulk even for new players.

This is like my Ur Dragon deck cut in half. A 5 color deck on one side, and a legend tribal deck on the other. I shouldn't be excited just by the use of the original Planeshift art for Terminate but it did add more desire for me to get these decks.
