Marneus Calgar | Tokens / Midrange - The Brewery [S0905]

Marneus is a massive combo enabler right in the command zone. However, I went with a more midrange approach in order to make the most of the token synergies in the deck.

SUPER underrated video. Outstanding value with your card selection.

[@TheCommanderTavern]

Thank you so much! Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@JionZz]

I want to upgrade my "Forces of the Imperium" Precon and damn this video gave me ALOT of options especially for budgets like Kaya, Soundwave, Vault, Horn of Valhalla etc. Wish i found that list sooner!

[@TheCommanderTavern]

Thanks! Glad you found it useful! :) Better late than never I guess XD

[@PostprandialTorpor]

I like your style. Thanks for not focusing on combo - everyone is gushing about Thassa’s Oracle and Lab man 🙄. One or two combos is fine but making it the main focus is way too Spike. Gotta Respect the Vorthos of the lore and turn the imperium of man sideways for the win!

[@TheCommanderTavern]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! I know, right? Sometimes seeing the same thing time and time again can get quite boring...

[@koreyg8552]

Nah cedh all day

[@Turntwobounceland]

Both your Marneus and Ghyrson deck techs have pretty much convinced me to get the 40K decks this weekend if I can. 😅 Awesome video as always! Thank you for the ideas!

[@TheCommanderTavern]

Thanks! Glad you liked them! Hopefully you can 1) find them; and 2) get them at a decent price.

[@Turntwobounceland]

@@TheCommanderTavern No kidding. Already, the Imperium deck is going for $75 online, so fingers crossed my LGSs will have a (decent) supply!

[@Torsav]

@@Turntwobounceland They are supposed to be "print to demand" so hopefully that helps keep them reasonable. Probably not on release day, but hopefully over time.

[@PostprandialTorpor]

@@Turntwobounceland “MSRP” is usually $60-70. WOTC said a second print run is coming, unsure if by December 2022 or Jan-Mar of 2023

The amount of people that put random accents on marneus's name is crazy

[@IamXSublime]

Wow you make the best videos!

[@TheCommanderTavern]

Wow, thanks! That means a lot 😅

[@allenyates3469]

It kind of hurts my feelings to see him run as the lead of anything but The Imperium of Man. I mean, sure, upgrade it a bit but... My inner child screams to see him without the flavor of the precon behind him.

[@TheCommanderTavern]

At least the precons were great straight out of the box. Except in this case, he should've 100% been the face commander for this precon.

[@allenyates3469]

@@TheCommanderTavern I agree. But really I think I only swapped out ten cards to make the deck a playable token deck. Space Marines, Imperial Guard, tentacles, and unblockable fish everywhere.

[@TheCommanderTavern]

@@allenyates3469 Lol, space tentacles

[@TheYGOArmy]

Why does no one mention playing extravagant replication?? That cars would be amazing in this deck

[@TheCommanderTavern]

Actually, in my initial trials I did run it along with Followed Footsteps and even Endless Evil, too. But they were too slow and whatever was enchanted by them would almost always get sniped by opponents. I thought all 3 of them would be super amazing because I love copy strategies. But with Marneus already being a very scary commander, effects with which I had to wait around for a full turn almost never survived. So I swapped them out for more efficient token production. Trust me, enchanting Extravagant Replication to Anointed Procession is some next level tomfoolery - I know 😆

[@fuzzyhair321]

Do you keep any of the precon cards?

[@TheCommanderTavern]

In what sense?

[@YamsDaKilla95]

Hi, question…Martyrs bond says whenever a permanent is put into your graveyard. That doesn’t count for tokens does it? I thought tokens technically didn’t hit the graveyard…thanks!

[@TheCommanderTavern]

Tokens hit the graveyard and then cease to exist as a state-based action. Therefore, tokens dying, leaving the battlefield, etc. trigger anything that would care about them doing so. So yes, it triggers.

[@YamsDaKilla95]

@@TheCommanderTavern thanks very much for clarifying that is indeed…very strong 😳

[@TheCommanderTavern]

@@YamsDaKilla95 Yup! Marneus is a beast.

[@AlliedAirsoft]

Howdy, just wondering if the decklist will be posted soon.

[@TheCommanderTavern]

Howdy! Tappedout hasn't been updated yet to include the Transformers cards which is why I haven't been able to edit the description with the decklist. However, he's the link to the prototype of the list. Just keep in mind that Soundwave, Sonic Spy is missing from it: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/03-10-22-marneus-calgar/?cb=1665258292
