Klothys, God of Destiny Deck Tech | Theros Beyond Death Spoiler

[@pauldyson8098]

Best comment on this card was from MTGSalvation: "You straight boys like 'em thicc, eh?" Not wrong.

[@NitpickingNerds]

My vote is still for "wet fart in commander" :P

[@jxj13]

I love the enchantment idea. When I first saw her I thought "wow, i never saw a magic card i wanted to step on me before but here we are". But then I thought "Wow this card is really not that flashy or even great. But this gives me some ideas for how she can be made to be effective in a casual enough pod! Also, I love that Joe said that Blood moon is a 3 and a R while also talking about how he doesn't say cards incorrectly. Comedy gold!

[@NitpickingNerds]

Yeah neither of us noticed he said that either until afterwards!

[@austinblankenship7631]

I appreciate the fact you all take on a lot of the creatures a lot channels wont bother with because they arent straightforward, really sets you apart! Definitely have a lot of ideas for Gallia so hope to see one of those soon, though I know on the surface it just seems like Satyr tribal but the second ability has my wheels turning 🤔

[@MouthyKnight]

I love the art on this card!

[@NitpickingNerds]

It is absolutely stunning

[@DetritusRelated]

Elfhame Sanctuary is great for color fixing after MLD. It’s cheap and is an enchantment which works well with the enchantress theme

[@Aldrnari956]

I’m looking at group slug with a moderate amount of land destruction and cycling. I’m going to resist blowing up all the lands on the board, but whatever I can do to leverage damage, I’ll do here.

[@NitpickingNerds]

Perfect! Klothys has inevitability for sure

[@darkrexkigntstone8773]

Picked up Willow Satyr due to Gallia of the Endless Dance. This is the deck you want to play for fast games. Great work as always. Tribe scout out.

[@NitpickingNerds]

These games might last ten minutes haha

[@joltMTG]

That text gradient matching her hair tho...beautiful.

[@NitpickingNerds]

Thanks! We’re big fans of your thumbnails too; they’re always awesome and different! Been watching your gameplay for a while

[@stephenboerner251]

old nerds! what a trip.

[@leeroyjenkins552]

wildfire and destructive force also sound good in this deck

[@NitpickingNerds]

Wildfire is in here, but I didn't know Destructive Force existed, though it is slightly worse.

[@crovax1375]

I was imagining a not nice group slug deck for Klothys too. In addition to Mana Barbs I think that I would include Overabundance in the deck. I feel that its low priority target for removal and it can encourage opponents to overextend themselves

[@NitpickingNerds]

I saw Overabundance in a lot of these decks, and I don't see why you'd want to double their lands when you're trying to restrict them to having one or zero lands, feels very risky to me

[@crovax1375]

@@NitpickingNerds since land destruction tactics are already taboo having the global mana doubling effect can help to reduce the saltiness of the deck

[@kyubikirby]

my first thought when I saw Klothys, was Land Destruction. Glad I wasn't alone in this thought

[@NitpickingNerds]

It wasn't our 1st thought but it was one of them

[@pauldyson8098]

Also. ALSO! New enchantress in Theros.

[@NitpickingNerds]

It looks so good! I wonder if it's even better than Eidolon of Blossoms?

[@SacredMagic13679]

@@NitpickingNerds it's the least color intensive of all the enchantress cards, and represents a win condition in and of itself. Thing is pretty good!

[@PawzBrownMTG]

So once you got into the build I was like all these cards are in my Lord Windgrace deck except for land destruction. Have you guys thought about putting the value of the deck besides the plainswaker unless there's a price for it. Then you can put it as a certain level of price maybe. Cause there's not a ton of people that can handle paying $10 per card. Maybe I'm over thinking the way you guys do these deck techs. Please let me know either way thanks keep up the awesome vids. Stay Pawzitive

[@NitpickingNerds]

We do some budget stuff this was more of an expensive deck

[@mrmannimaker8509]

Doesn't the upkeep trigger have a (not impossible) chance of doing nothing or maybe even forcing us to exile our graveyard at the beginning of the game?? Could happen if the graveyards don't fill up very much. Edit: its not an upkeep trigger, "precombat main phase"

[@NitpickingNerds]

We don’t mind all that much exiling something from our graveyard, there’s not a lot of recursion for nonlands and hitting a land of ours isn’t a big deal either

[@cheddarchug]

Not to be a stickler, but using Helm of the host to copy Klothys only works if she’s already active as a creature. Beings how it only creates a token of “equipped creature” so trying to get around the devotion minimum isn’t viable until she’s Already active. Which is a bummer because I really want to like this card by itself

[@NitpickingNerds]

This deck has a lot of enchantments, I think you can pull it off reasonably often

[@ramacass108]

When I first saw this card I thought it was incredible. I am making a mass land destruction deck for him( god not goddess right?)

[@NitpickingNerds]

I think she's a girl, could be wrong though

[@DyPie527]

Well that's literally the deck that I have build almost. MLD control burn to win!

[@NitpickingNerds]

Let us know how your first games go!

[@DyPie527]

@@NitpickingNerds pretty damn well in a non-cEDH format. Vs pretty optimized decks (7/8's) I managed to push in 2 wins out of 4.

[@firefist906]

no cultivate? isnt that a staple for like every green deck? (not being sarcastic, i really want to know the reason be it)

[@NitpickingNerds]

Beezy is low on the card and he look the lead on the deck. It is very good but not an auto include.

[@NitpickingNerds]

Hey, Beezy here, just wanted to clarify my thought process a bit. The ramp spells I put in “every deck” are Nature’s Lore and Skyshroud Claim, since the lands enter untapped and those spells are just amazing. I think they’re the two best ones by a mile for green. Next I look at synergy. Does the deck need lands in the graveyard, on the battlefield, from creatures, from sorceries or instants or enchantments, or somewhere else? Cultivate and Kodama’s Reach have very little chance to synergize with my commander, so they honestly almost never make my deck and in real life I never would play them. They’re good but either not strong enough or not synergistic enough for me

[@firefist906]

@@NitpickingNerds Thanks for the answer! i really like your list and i plan to copy it almost completely (LOL, im a netdecker, yeah) i made a few changes tho; i put torbran, vicious shadows and underworld breach in and plan to take bag of holding, strionic resonator and springbloom druid out.
