Lisette, Dean of the Root and an Actually Fair Magic Card

My real life name was almost Valentino and I will never forgive my father for the attempt

So actually you get to pay 2 and make a pest, your opponents get absolutely nothing other than your stern and proud middle finger

As the average black player would have it, yes

Magic at its purest

I've paid more mana for worse tokens. I rule this to be "dece".

[@nik8378]

“May I suggest Yahtzee” is truly the most wounded I’ve ever been from watching this diss series

[@kallahcreates6942]

Thank you for introducing me to this Golgari gem. With such a fair and deserving magic card I look forward to making enemies of other dredge lovers and redefining what it means to say "I'll pay the 1"

[@kevinwestermann1001]

Another Golgari gem is the other BG DFMC "Blex / Search for Blex" because you can utilise its backside during infinite mana combos to draw your entire deck.

[@Jalae]

a few fun surprises for a lisette deck - vorniclex, spike feeder and cryptic trilobite, aetherflux reservoir, the ozalith, and why not a dina and sanguine/exquisite combo just to keep that target right on my forehead (i crave the attention)

[@palatonian9618]

God, the grindset joke was top tier. Your humor is so fresh

[@maldhound]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@alexanderwhite298]

​@@maldhoundFun fact only about 36% of highschool students join sports, so a participation trophy means that students tried where the other 64% didn't.

As a Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker main, getting my little, tiny, 1/1, 0/1, 1/2 creatures exiled is absolutely deserved. You cannot let me pop off.

[@raymondjohnson5922]

As a meren player I will cry and scream when you exile my sakura tribe elders and spore frogs but we all know I was going to use those mofos at least a million and a half time in the span of two seconds and you are just helping them rest in peace

[@Cybermaul]

As a Meren player, I like to give my opponents lots of targets. Acidic Slime, Fleshbag Marauder, and other lovely hate bears keep them on their toes.

[@jennaherman3859]

That's why I have glissa in my deck, 3 mana for 3/3 with first strike and death touch, buff her with an enchantment that +1/1 every kill and she quickly becomes unstoppable!

[@Issblodh]

“Y’all deserve oppression.” That made me laugh sooo much. I love playing that card. 🎉

[@asherwolfe4853]

As a proud golgari gremlin i have yet to start using the phrase "get sacked on," but i'm sure as hell gonna

[@DudesterGX]

Yooooo, speaking of unearned goodies! Urabrask granting 1 One Mana and 1 Damage to opponent for casting an instant/sorcery is one of the funniest damn abilities and I'd love to see a vid on it. Many people I've come across all say at first "It's just one Mana" and "It's just 1 Damage" until you hit them with the most disgusting chain of 1 Mana spells that each do 8 Damage because Ojer Axonil is on the field and both the Spell and Urabrask did at least 1 Damage.

[@DudesterGX]

I joke that since his card doesn't have a title like the others that his title should be "Urabrask, Scourge of the Dollar Store"

[@Jdemonify]

not speakin of if you add fiery anticipation? and torbran. oh no.

[@gackybass]

​@@Jdemonify They don't stack with Ojer.

[@dontmisunderstand6041]

I run Cormela spellslinger in Brawl exactly for cards like Urabrask. My cantrips do damage now clowns.

[@aganaom1712]

i still yearn for the Torbran, Thane of Red Fell roast

Was about to say I need more commander shorts please and thank you.

[@Ki113r210]

These videos have brought me back into mtg after many years. I'd love to see a video on my old commander, Sen Triplets

[@StarkEpiphany]

The intrusive thoughts are winning here...did you stop playing because nobody wanted to play against the triplets? Lol God that card brings back memories. All of them are terrible.

[@Ki113r210]

@@StarkEpiphany lmao no, just kind of drifted away from it. I wasn't a very experienced player, so it didn't have a clear win condition outside of outlasting people with life gain

[@wazzledog1007]

As a graveyard player I recognize the graveyard is a privellege, not a right. Still gunna be sad if I get my stuff exiled tho.

[@breath4255]

YES!!!!! My personal favorite commander of all time finally gets their review!!!

[@maldhound]

I hope you enjoyed it!

[@arsenicwafers7536]

Oh! I wasn’t expecting this. Love this commander

I've lost count how many times but I'm not gonna stop asking for a roast of my favorite red degenerate, Feldon of the Third Path. Mono-red isn't supposed to reanimate!

I feel like I've been asking for Toralf for longer now, but please, Toralf, he's angry enough as it is.

Would love to see the Krenko, Bob Ross roast. First video of yours I watched was the Krenko Commander guide, bring it full circle!

He can't roast krenko out of fear and respect

[@MagickP00dle]

As a graveyard player, stop it. We're fine. Leave us be. 😈

[@Blu_Moon_Owl]

Nah, here’s a Nemata Primeval Warden for you

As another graveyard player, no. Only my graveyard matters. 😂

[@MakeVarahHappen]

Tiktok has fucked me up so hard that when you said Yahtzee I thought you were talking about the euphemism.

[@martinstephenortiz4628]

I've had a Lisette deck ever since Strixhaven came out. And she's been a blast to play with. She'll get all your creatures to 14 +1/+1 counters after 3 turns, but your opponents have a chance to interact with them so it feels fair. Plus lifegain helps when you get targeted early on before the bigger decks take the aggro from you.

[@kanvaros4451]

When the depression hits I’m happy Mald exist the laughs and chuckles help a ton !

Questing Beast awaits your reasonable and measured take on his abilities (six) versus mana (four) cost.

Awesome video and thanks for introducing new Golgari commander(s)👍🏿 Lisette can definitely get it 😄

[@demolisherman1763]

We gotta see Saheeli, Sun’s Brilliance

[@isaacjames2682]

I've never seen them, and I'm glad. This seems like a very slow, but sudden death. I have lost track on how many times I've asked for a roast of Marchesa the Black Rose. Probably five, but it may be more.

[@jk2782]

There's a green creature with devour and creates saprolings equal to the +1/+1 counters on it at the start of the turn, paired with essence warden and commander lady that would be a fun board state.

[@zakbrooks7354]

Mycoloth is too absurd of a magic card to be real

[@jacquesdespadas]

I’ve never seen. A Mycoloth survive the turn, much less the full cycle of the table. 😢

[@ArtGuyCharlie]

Valentin is the commander for my “every card is mana value 1” Voltron deck.

[@lukek.5773]

the mono black one is anything but fair lmfao ashanod's and an grave pact effect. you now have an unending board clear.

[@BaronVonFisticuffs]

Thank you for these. I haven’t played Magic since fucking Time Spiral and don't know what "commander" is, but these absolutely make me wonder if maybe i should learn.

[@syrelian]

Commander is the evolution of Elder Dragon Highlander which you might be familiar with, thus its other name EDH

[@dontmisunderstand6041]

100 cards, no duplicate card names except for basic lands. You get a fancy lad as your "commander" that you can always cast and doesn't go in the deck, but the tradeoff is nothing in your deck can be a color that your commander isn't. Oh, and you start with 40 life. Usually it's a 4 player free-for-all game mode, but it doesn't necessarily have to be.

[@Gork862]

Damn, this looks fun. Might actually build it myself. Also, while it’s definitely a niche commander, but I would love to see Tawnos, Solemn Survivor on here sometime.

[@1wakuralain]

Obyra, Dreaming Duelist made faeries playable for once.

[@YourBoyNobody530]

The biggest thing I see here is that you can activate this multiple times per turn which means you can effectively convert 7 mana into 7 +1 counters on all of your creatures. Not to mention its in the money color so they have the mana to spare.

[@22sfs22]

You can only pay (1) per instance of life gain. And even the most prolific lifegainers will find it hard to get 7 instances of lifegain in a single turn

[@Jalae]

The thing about the Dean of the Vein is that it only affects creatures that actually hit the board at some point. Oh no, if they kill my reanimator target I won't be able to reanimate it a second time! That was my plan b so I guess I'll just have to win with plan a.

[@michelebenedetti7507]

Another day another request on a roast of Malik grim manipulator. My table has almost banned me from playing that deck
