Judith, Carnage Connoisseur Commander Deck Tech | EDH Deck Ideas

[@Kelthulu89]

I built a Judith deck and another player at my LGS did and they were sooo much fun to put against each other. Absolutely became the threat at the table in a four pod and love combining my two fave things - swinging wide and gaining life.

[@professorvalk]

I love this deck building type videos where they take for account that players don’t just want crazy op decks.

[@sacredbeastzenon]

I can't resist Command the Dreadhorde with Judith.

[@iamunnami]

so u basiclly net 0 with life and bunch of creatures on battlefield?

[@jailpk3d]

I had no idea you could lifelink yourself

[@sacredbeastzenon]

@@iamunnami You can also bring back planeswalkers.

[@sacredbeastzenon]

@@jailpk3d Command the Dreadhorde works because it deals damage.

[@Commander_Claw]

@@sacredbeastzenon dealing damage and losing life are two different things! Command the Dreadhorde is brilliant!!!

[@chrisboyce5900]

Thanks for the walkthrough, and you were right about the deck sleeves, they are fantastic with this deck!

[@Richuardo]

Probably my favorite commander from the set, great video as always!

[@kb3256]

I'm so pumped that you guys can do this full time now.

[@EdguyRocketRide]

I really think the Token strategy is the strong one and the deathtouch strategy is the mean one ;) But nice techs as always!

[@NerdNerfer]

I looked on your Moxfield link for these decks but didn't see them. Do you have deck lists for these three builds? I'd love to play around with them and see which, if not all three, I'd love to build. Judith caught my eye and think your deck ideas would be a blast to play. But also gives you options to play in a casual setting or go toe to toe with those more salty games. Thanks for the video, love the input!!!!!

[@derekstoll1282]

11:10 you can pay 1 into X for Ghired’s Belligerence and essentially wipe the board. It says you can choose any number of target creatures to deal X damage to. (Edit - I’m wrong here lol don’t mind me) I haven’t finished the video yet, but I would recommend running shadowspear and detection tower to make sure you can hit everything regardless of which way you build the deck

[@fitnesshunter6302]

That's not the way spells like Ghired's Belligerence work. In order to target something you have to be able to deal at least one damage to the creature and it costs x to deal x damage spread around. So in order to deal 1 damage to two creatures x must be 2, to hit three creatures for one, x must be three etc

[@derekstoll1282]

@@fitnesshunter6302totally missed “divided” so yeah, you right

[@Commander_Claw]

@@derekstoll1282 at least you possibly can populate the IMP tokens!

[@F4xP4s]

Does Harmonic Prodigy mean I can choose both of Judith’s abilities?

[@Commander_Claw]

you can only choose one to trigger an additional time. That would be crazy OP if you could do both for one spell.

[@blakkermambaa]

I built her with the sacrifice and cheap spells theme but I've been thinking of throwing in theft cards so I could sac my opponents stuff and still be getting imps at the same time.

[@MattCorrales]

I’m happy she isn’t a once per turn like so many other commanders these days. Which makes Rowan nasty with her also. ;)

[@SirGrimLockSmithVIII]

6:23 If you're hitting multiple creatures at once with a cheap pinger spell, even though you're only dealing one damage to each creature, wouldn't the total damage dealt to all creatures at once stack up for the lifegain portion of Judith's trigger? Like, say you dealt 1 damage each to 15 creatures. With lifelink, that 1 damage turns into 15 lifelink because the 1 damage stacks on itself 15 times. Is that a fair assessment or am I getting it wrong? You should ideally still be racking up huge lifelink gains even with the pure pinger spells so long as there's enough creatures to kill.

[@brendans1983]

Yeah mate, however much damage a creature/spell with lifelink deals is how much you gain 👍

[@mattturner1090]

I love EDH three ways. More please!

[@Slim3398]

I put her into vial smasher and Kraum. I gave delayed blast fireball deathtouch and lifelink. Went to 130 life and won a few turns later.

[@metricarea7546]

So tempted to take Ghyrson Starn apart - who hasn't been working - and build Judith instead!

[@Commander_Claw]

I mean Ghyrson Starn artwork is amazing! So I understand but Judith is made for spellslingers too.

[@martinfiser6649]

nice ideas fot this commander...thanks

[@RavensOfRubicon]

I like Evincar's Justice. Its costly for the mana, but 2 damage to all creatures and players, buy back 3 to put it in your hand is amazing. Won me my game tonight.

[@durngato]

These are the best Deck Techs

[@MrTacticalApproach]

Just a question, if I have Harmonic Prodigy and cast Lightning Bolt can I have it deal 3 to a target two times?

[@Buffalo93]

I don’t get excitement about 1 mana boardwipes. Yes you can do this but then what? Probably lose because of table unites against you. The only way that makes sense is when it gives you 100+ life, but even then without the plan what to do next, it is very easy to lose due to commander damage dealt by salty opponents.

[@V1C10US]

I don't understand why Judith is only 50 cents. Some serious undervalue going on for a lot of MKM singles.

[@Starsoulklr]

Set being brand new and mainly desired for EDH is the main thing I can think of? Copies of her are going to be plentiful especially with the alternative arts available.

[@Mendrikk]

you destroy her 2 times an the whole deck doesnt work anymore

[@V1C10US]

@@Mendrikk There's a plethora of cheap black spells that negate damage or regenerate.

[@Commander_Claw]

@@Mendrikk it amazes me how players comment that they control a game with her. She is rakdos colors so the likely hood of counterspells will not protect her. Even the return to the battlefield instants aren't enough. She's good the first time you play your pod.

[@alexstavrianopoulos7385]

It is going to be rough for anyone playing this commander, big target on their head from the start.

[@Zanrohs]

Riku of Two Reflections, please 🙏

[@savannahlion3081]

CHRISTMAS IS CARNAGE ! 🐖🦆🐓🐿

[@TylerWessling1]

47 Instants and soceries.

[@SwankPuppet]

Cover blasphemous act and bolas citadel

[@MisterSirDaddyo]

40 instants and sorceries

[@barryhayes8229]

Currently in my build it's exactly 40

[@austinbaker9679]

So we all agree that this make chain reaction a massive middle finger? 😂

[@thewhitehotd1172]

I built mine to be a PL 9 as the Imps build it's the strong way not the mean way...the mean way is death touch bc people don't play the game

[@dizzyloops]

[@MBison-fs8vp]

I got two words and two words only.... Grafted...Exoskeleton

[@justsir7117]

If I understood you ok you want to equip grafted exoskeleton to an imp and then sacrifice it but that's a lot of resources

[@Commander_Claw]

Yea that doesnt work because Judith isn't dealing damage to a player or creature. Grafted Exoskeleton is great with Ghyrson Starn!

[@MBison-fs8vp]

@@Commander_Claw the devils are what you are equipping it to

[@Commander_Claw]

@@MBison-fs8vp ok in that case you're right. 2 equip cost isn't bad at all. I like that payoff now just thinking about it. It's too easy to give players poison counters in black from instant and sorcery spells after the Phyrexian Set came out. Gross! than the imps deal 2 damage to each opponent. Thats 2 poison counters to each opponent. OH yea you'll get away with these schenanigans the first time lol....I see you out here!

[@MBison-fs8vp]

@@Commander_Claw Yeah I essentially treat it as an alternate storm combo kill at this point. I drew the aggro of 4 counterspells in a single turn tonight from 2 different players

[@nicklesf6566]

Stinging Study to draw 5 cards, since we have lifelink 5 life shouldn't matter at this rate of card draw for one card.

[@bruvaroni]

The deck is very good but I'll warn you lads. You'll be archenemy forever after the first game.

[@Djm939]

Very true, you might even be archenemy first game lol, it’s fairly obvious you might wipe the board if you have Judith out lol

[@brendans1983]

It's a Rakdos thing 🍻

[@Commander_Claw]

@@Djm939 wiping the board isn't the saltiest thing she can do though!
