MARVEL + MTG: Earth’s Mightiest New Commanders! | The Command Zone 639 | EDH Magic Gathering

[@commandcast]

Marvel fans! Which of these commanders are you building? What are the sweet cards for the 99 that we missed?

[@ColbeyGailey]

I would build probably 2 of them if they weren’t a ridiculous amount. Leave it to wizards to make cards for mtg that people can’t even have 🙄😤

None, and Irrelevant, as they only printed 5 copies total. I know it's not your fault, you're probably frustrated about the situation too, and this was almost certainly recorded before the sale went live.

No hate to you guys about it, just the higher-ups at Wizards/Hasbro who think FOMO is more valuable than money. I know there's already been a lot of negative current event podcasts, but an episode talking about the issue would be appreciated. Miku, Monty Python, and Marvel have all sold out within the first hour of people who managed to get in line. I guess printing the letter M is too expensive.

But everyone can proxy 😉 sure it’s not the same thing but I can be a good placeholder until they can afford them on the secondary market.

[@LoneBerseker]

You cant even buy them anymore lol 🤷‍♂️

[@eXJonSnow]

If WotC actually wanted you to have them and not have to get them from scalpers, they would've done a print-to-demand. Until they decide to support players, you certainly can decide to not support them. I ordered proxies of the cards right after they were spoiled and they came in looking great, for a small fraction of the price.

[@FugueNation]

Of course! non-sarcastically, commander is the only non-tournament format and proxies are fine. Some people already had decks with these before they were even sold

[@weeklyweeks7545]

Folks, just proxy what you don’t own. It’s okay. 👍🏻

[@LotusFallacy]

💯 on that.

[@brayangudino2658]

I agree! It's perfectly okay to have worthless cards that will never appreciate in value! It's perfectly okay to never have original collectibles that you can possess and enjoy because you can't afford them! Secret Lair is for the part of society that sees MTG as a collectable card game! Not game pieces!

Sir, these people don't care to proxy, they just wish to complain. This is this week's complaint. Next week will be something else.

[@weeklyweeks7545]

There is no way I’d feel bad about ‘not supporting’ them by using proxies in this case. They were blatantly ripping us off on top of it being so limited.

@@kstephenson5857 well... that's not really true. they have 3/4 of a million subs on youtube. they're the most massive commander channel with multiple members on the commander format panel. I think they don't necessarily have the power to change sales especially for something like marvel, but they could absolutely push for a wave of real backlash or something to create pressure so wizards considers not doing things this way again (honestly, the best argument is they left millions of dollars on the table not printing more rather than being mad about it for customers who they dont care about) anyway yeah they clearly have a lot of community pull... they just choose to not use it almost ever and instead do super bland normie videos like this where everybody else already covered these commanders and building around them like weeks ago lol

[@hanschristopherson8056]

If you weren’t able to get these because wotc didn’t do print to order you can always proxy

[@Civera89]

I'm pretty sure you do not cast Storm on turn 4.... Seems like bad play to me. You want to cast her later with haste or turn protection for a big turn.

[@alexanderwaller7354]

Yeah I agree. Storm is your finisher not a value piece, like Narset Enlightened Master. Concordant Crossroads, Hall of the Bandit Lord, Lightning Greaves, Silver Shroud Costume, etc. The real question is, do you go creatureless like the old Narset combo decks?

[@nicholasbettis5527]

When fetching a card from Sunforger, its important to note, its only instants. You can't get a sorcery card with it.

[@alexanderwaller7354]

True, but you can get a multicoloured instant, so its a great include with Dovin's Veto, or just straight up blue instants with Swirl the Mists. Sucks that the rules changed in 2017 about the split cards cmc because that was a neat trick.

[@ianmoore059]

Bloodthirster is perfect for the Storm deck. Up to 4 extra combats because Storm has vigilance. (Yes it's 4, because of the extra combat that you get then you attack the 3rd opponent)

[@MoriRaineMatsuko]

I like these deck ideas. I think Storm is going to be my go-to since I've always wanted to have a Temur spellslinger deck and I didn't like Kalamax that much as a spellsinger commander. Now the biggest issue is actually GETTING the cards in the first place. Those sets sold out within hours of going up for sale and barely any actual players got them. Probably going to proxy at least Storm.

[@olivierdebilde4292]

Tyvar's stand isn't mentionned much but is so good with many commanders you wanna protect, including Wolverine. A nice addition to the Snakeskin Veil mentionned, imo

[@FoxHound-xu1mq]

I love this secret lair! Was all I needed to become proxy only from now on!

[@TabbyLavalamp]

Because his second ability doesn't target Captain America, you can put Whispersilk Cloak or Lightning Greaves on him and still equip something else each turn.

[@kevinbennett6702]

A flavor that was missed for wolverine was an instant from gate crash called "Mutant's Prey". +1/+1 counter creature fight spell. Mutant, counters caring, fighting, instant.... has it all hahaha

[@ravenjoybower]

For the shield wall of Black Panther, I also thought of Protection of the Hekma from Amonkhet. Less powerful card, but just flavourfully and in terms of what it looks like feels a bit closer to what it is.

[@achocofilah]

I really wanted Storm and Wolverine in the same deck, so I’m having storm as commander with a bunch of +1/+1 counters and proliferate spells I can storm with. Then a bunch of creature damage spells equal to power to burn. It has a been blast, and I get to see both my X-men together!

[@alexanderwaller7354]

If you're doing proliferate with her then absolutely run Prologue to Phyresis. Its a storm wincon, or turns any proliferate spell into a storm wincon. You can even theme it as nano-sentinels.

[@BradleyAshley]

Just checking this video is for all the scalpers who will need help with their decks, yeah?

[@LandinngGear]

Surprised, there is no mention of Basking Broodscale for Black Panther. Cares about counters being put on it and gives a rebate by creating another creature that will be extra mana

[@alexanderwaller7354]

Black Panther is a bottomless pit of tech. So many synergies because it hits so many themes. I think T'Challa will be one of the best homes for the new Shroofus Sproutsire, especially with Life and Limb.

[@hadarah7]

I was able to get the Wolverine Secret Lair after waiting 2 1/2 hours online. I’m super stoked to play him next week at my LGs.

[@jak_x3754]

Also flavorful but not mentioned is The Antiquities War. A blue saga that loots five cards for an artifact for the first two, then turns all your artifacts into 5/5 creatures. Like in the Iron man 3 movie where Tony called all his suits to the ship near the end. 1:11:21

"If" is a delayed trigger. With Strionic Resonator, you can copy either trigger if you want to sac two different artifacts and find two different mana values or you can sac one, copy the delayed trigger, and get two of that mana value.

[@zeroisnine]

You don't need a crazy payoff with Storm. Even Rampany Growth into Divination is insane.

[@alexanderwaller7354]

Its a high risk commander, might as well get a high reward. My favourites are utility spells that double as wincons, such as Prologue to Phyresis, Finale of Devastation, Turnabout, etc

[@zeroisnine]

@@alexanderwaller7354 Sure. My point isn't don't play high rewards, my point is that it doesn't need a high reward to pay out. Keep in mind you can main phase a haste spell, that will last EOT, and attack the same turn. Also, I'm assuming (but not sure) that by saying they have "utility" what you mean is that you'd run them anyways, and in that case you're literally making the same point I am, but just listing different examples

[@alexanderwaller7354]

@@zeroisnine Yeah I get you, I'm just saying that she has a lot of hoops to jump through (such as really needing haste or flash like you mention), so you might as well go for the crazy payoffs that win the game. Similar to how Kaalia of the Vast, an almost identical high-risk commander, might as well use Master of Cruelties to win instead of merely Adarkar Valkyrie to spin her wheels. Utility vs niche wincons: niche can only be used to combo win, but utility can be cast for value OR be used to combo win. Akroma's Will is a great example of a utility + wincon, albeit in white.

[@Jtsqueaker]

I am so glad I was able to get my order fulfilled for this secret lair drop. I was ready to check out within 30 seconds of the sale going live, yet I still had to wait in the queue for almost three hours. I was lucky enough to be able to order some for my friends as well since they let me know ahead of time which character's drop they wanted. Now we will be able to have all four players with a different Marvel commander for a game! Super bummed out I didn't get the arcane signet with my order, though. Wizards should have been able to accurately assess how many signets to print given that this secret lair was a limited print and required at least $199 of purchases. Hopefully they take the signets from the scalpers that cheated the queue and give them to the real people that waited instead, although I won't hold my breath for that.

[@caseywellington4761]

Why would they? It's not like they care about their customers, only the bottom line and the numbers. "Sold out within minutes" sucks for the players, but it looks good for executives, so why would they bother to throw us a bone like that? They knew this would happen, and meant for it to happen.

[@gVidsIsGone]

@@Jtsqueaker I would prefer if they did unlimited print run but they had too many people complaining about it and had people trying to sue them when it was print to demand.

[@CaptainTempest1]

One thing I'd recommend for Wolverine players is to take a look at lists for Zangief, the Red Cyclone/Maarika, Brutal Gladiator. They occupy very similar design spaces, so I'd imagine there's a lot of overlap in the cards that get run in their decks.

[@SparkMatik716]

Viper's armor is an incredible newer protection spell. A +1/+1 counter, a reach counter, a deathtouch counter, and untap it. If those were all till end of turn it'd be good, but because the effects are permanent is so strong

[@edwardrodriguez9624]

Well the thing with Storm is that you don't really have to storm off, you cast maybe let's say 1 cantrip, then attack, then you cast let's say time warp or maybe extra combat spell or maybe a draw spell or maybe a throes of chaos or some other cascade instant or sorcery. You can easily start drowning the table in value without actually "Storming" off. You could build this deck as a straight storm deck but there's better commanders for doing this. I think it's better built copying bigger instant or sorcery spells once.

[@alexanderwaller7354]

Only problem is, then you're using her to Fork and not to storm, so you're playing high risk low reward instead of high risk high reward. Its like, you can use Kaalia to deploy a Serra Angel, but you could just deploy Avacyn instead.

[@EvilerOMEGA]

For storm's flavor, how did they miss thousand year storm, the thing that gives your instants and sorceries storm?

For those who want to include the entire bundle in each deck: Bonus cards for each set: Cap - Master of Ingenuity Storm - Regrowth Iron Man - Sculpting Steel Black Panther - Natures lore Wolverine - Unnatural Growth

[@JMTCG]

was there pics posted somewhere? Curious on the arts

[@corymachlan6177]

I'm definitely building storm as a commander and probably putting wolverine in my shalai and halar deck.

remember folks, proxies are justified

[@ColbeyGailey]

@@TheSmartCinema remember folks not all cards are made into proxies by companies like proxy king and others so if you want to proxy them then you have to print yourself of a piece of paper that probably won’t even look good 🫠 some people actually care about art and card quality

[@TheSmartCinema]

​@@ColbeyGailey there are planty of websites where you can order custom playing cards. Every commander deck I own were purchased this way. Just gotta make the backside like "PROXY NOT FOR SALE" and most sellers will accept your order.

[@heliobarbosa3525]

​@@ColbeyGaileyAnd they still buy WotC products? Lol

[@ColbeyGailey]

@@heliobarbosa3525 I buy a lot of proxies I just want them to look good I have nothing against proxies but when a company doesn’t make a proxy then you have to print it yourself and I personally don’t want a low quality proxy

[@EricTask]

I wish you had done this one much earlier. I tried to go and buy it the instant this podcast dropped and they were already sold out.

[@iKevinFtfw]

too fucking bad i waited in a queue for 6 hours and couldn't get any. sick video

[@Shutchohole]

To all those that are upset about the availability, just proxy them. Then alter/proxy other cards for flavor. Win/win.

[@timothyterrenal5909]

content creators can make a stand against this by leading by example. boycott this particular product and don't give it any platform till wizards reverts back to the print on demand model. there's plenty of commander contact that could be made without touching any of this.

[@kstephenson5857]

....the SL sold out whether or not CZ makes content about it. Whether or not Prof makes a video being upset by it, WotC already made its money. Boycotting coverage about the cards would do precisely nothing to encourage Wizards to change their SL system.

[@timothyterrenal5909]

@@kstephenson5857 this is about standing on principle on a stance you advocate for.

[@alexanderwaller7354]

You need to understand that this is about Hasbro attracting new business partners. "This product sold out in 4 hours, we can make the same thing happen with your IP." Worth much more than the supply and demand of one small set.

[@timothyterrenal5909]

@@alexanderwaller7354 the narrative of "sold out in x hours" only works for certain types of good and for certain marketing purposes. most other products for example, video games and movies, tout amount of units sold or returns from the box office. like for example black myth wukong selling x amount of copies within its first week of release. since wotc also like to brag about the number of concurrent players playing mtg and especially commander. it is not at all out of the ordinary to also use number of units they can move for SLD to attract new IP. this false scarcity narrative is only advocated mostly by parties who have a vested interest in the secondary market of goods similar to sneakerheads .

[@ThisIsACommanderChannel]

I don't wake up earlier enough to order these, so I piggy backed off of some friends that I knew would be ordering them. Glad I did, I heard they went through a crappy time getting them ordered. I just needed the Commander's Plate cause that card is already pretty expensive.
