Matt's Signature Style | EDHREC Room

[@No2hISwear]

I’m basically the only aggro player in my community full of people who play exclusively combo. It’s a dirty job, someone has to do it.

[@daem0nfaust]

Loving this video. I love playing against effective aggro players because it's like dealing with a puzzle. And winning or losing against the deck feels satisfying.

[@JGushi87]

OMG I want to watch/listen to Matt's deep explanation of his Mirri deck

[@BigHack32]

That was a good podcast. I have a very similar playstyle - love creatures and slamming a board full of big monsters. Tribal dinosaurs is the greatest edh deck.

[@jordansams6240]

my favorite decks are the ones that place a larger emphasis on the creatures instead of the spells. Matt's comment about playing a creature to get value now and extra value later is exactly why i LOVE my Aminatou deck so i 100% get where he is coming from with that

[@nicktapio2822]

Oh man this was so great. It was so fun listening to you guys talk about one persons deck building philosophy. i look forward to the other 2 epsiodes in this trilogy.

[@Beansareamagicalfruit]

Man speaks my language

[@mercystreetcjc]

I built miri when Matt wrote about it years ago on edhrec. It is my daughters favorite deck and is still a blast to play and to play against.

[@heavenbot]

Matt-style!! Ready for Dana-style and Joey-style soon, you guys are the best!

[@feelsbad9812]

Love this video. Are we going to see a signature style video for Dana and Joey as well?

[@luisenriquerodriguezherrea8173]

I really like this kind of episodes. It's a more personal approach to the format and the different ways to do it. This can help for inspiration or personalizing decks. THough I don't have it in paper, I kinda feel the same with my Thantis, The War Weaver. Not everybody plays/likes her, so no one expects what it can do. I must say I'm eager to hear the Necromancer's episode ^^

[@andrewschultz7497]

This was a really interesting episode. Excited to see the Dana and Joey versions.

[@aviidea3330]

more of this please! would love to hear about everyone's signature styles, and also cards they play in a lot of decks (like josh lee kwai's vedalk*n orr*ry)

[@bushidoman96]

Great video. I've got a Valduk deck and a Shalai deck that is all about making mana dorks huge and turning them sideways.

[@dreddbolt]

Man, I love my Mowu and Valduk brews. Fun stuff. Even simple stuff opens up the path for interesting options.

[@Sandilini]

Matt is my spirit animal.

[@Winterlunarwolf]

I love aggro. Its my favorite strategy. My main decks are Najeela, Xenegos, and Angry-nath. You either win or die first.

[@solidius642]

would love to see short videos explaining each deck they look so interesting

[@alex.sanders]

Hope it can become a new series!

[@vanessaeve925]

Just when I've thought I've heard most Dad Jokes, Matt comes out swinging

[@lewish1248]

Matt is usually swinging!😂

[@afish8883]

Ooh a new series

[@ncuco]

I am the aggro player in my playgroup, and in all formats. And i enjoy it because i like maximising the efficiency of a deck. I find in control decks u put stuff that halts an opponent and you wait. In aggro, for it to work you have to make sure every single little piece works together the best way to make sure u can overcome 3 oponentes trying to stop you. It like a puzzle. It all has to come together in perfect harmony

[@willlindell8904]

Matt is the guy who rolls for claws on turn one of King of Tokyo. We are cut from the same cloth in that regard

[@SWNJim]

My next Mardu deck will be Queen Marchesa. It’s looking to control the combat phase, not just mine, but yours as well. Combat is often over looked in the commander format, but it can be pretty powerful when done right. There’s also going to be some great old school cards in it that Dana should would love.

[@chrisgallo2236]

I’m VERY similar to Matt. I love nothing more then overwhelming the board with creatures and just swinging out. Don’t even really do the math most of the time, just send stuff the way of my opponents and see what happens. I have a Torens deck that is kind of like Matt’s Kyler deck, half the creatures are humans and the anything that isn’t has a counter subtheme going and it’s very synergistic while also being very aggro too. So much fun!

[@Dubi264]

I also play very proactive decks, like my angry omnath, because I hate sandbagging stuff. If I've got the thing I'm doing it. I'll worry about the crackback later.

[@AlsonamedDennis]

I love aggro too. I esp. like to combine a Voltron strat with it, cutting the necessary damage from 120 to a hundred. Doran and Double Strike Atarka are my favorites here.

[@lighert1787]

Great series! That style of deck sounds very enjoyable in Selesnya, Akiri/Ardenn are a lot of fun I found out so I'm curious what green brings. Marisi tickles my fancy for a long time now but the deck just seems so difficult to build. Also I am not sure not enough people would like Mirri, she's just very expensive and at that price point I have stopped to even look at a card or what it does.

[@BassBaseAce]

Funny that pathbreaker ibex was brought up. I picked up a few years ago when it was like a dollar or less because I thought it was neat and recently checked the price and I guess it's like fifteen bucks now?

[@DrJammjamm]

I had a Valduk Deck once and I LOVED IT. Took it apart, because in my Playgroup he got focused hard. But I have to build him again. He really SMACKS faces if people leave him be.

[@Kenji038]

Omnath Locust of Rage is SWEET!

[@pauldyson8098]

I run Mirri in Emmara. Always puts in work!

[@davidhansen5067]

My aggro deck is Cat Tribal with Mirri. I probably need to throw a couple more good ways to tap her in there, but with all the token and life-gain support in the Cat tribe, she's actually just a really sneaky good lord for the tribe.

[@Pigotti94]

I love mirri but in my emmara soul of the Accord deck. Lots of fun to interact with

[@pauldyson8098]

Same! Not enough people run Mirri in Emmara.

[@ty_sylicus]

I'm sure a Matt. My first EDH deck was Aurelia, the Warleader.

[@crispy2802]

Oh nice! A Recroom and the sky isn’t falling!!

[@user-tl4ze2vq9i]

I love both graveyard synergies and beatdown deck. I love bashing faces with aurelia and other boros creatures, while sevinne's reclamation, sun titan, brought back and other recursion spells keep the gas running. The deck is not particularly strong, but boy is it a blast to play. My fav deck however is a pretty simple malestrom wanderer beatdown deck (no mass land destruction nonsense). Just ramp hard and cast your fatties for free. Bounce wanderer to hand and do it again.

[@theliving1037]

Aggro to me is usually really weak in commander, but consistent. I play combo, and I have lots of staples for me like living death, sudden spoiling, and bounce spells. I don't run high power, but I have won on turn 3 before, but I also have a Ghired deck and have won on turn 4 with that before.

[@MichaelJones-ld9cn]

Man goes bønk.

[@simoncss1]

“Liked” immediately after realising we can’t C in the dark

[@makenawatkins]

As a naya player I feel this

[@newworldsound]

Yeah! Selesnya!

[@ryansprenkle6356]

I think the reason Mirri doesn't see more play is that she's like $23+. I've wanted to build, or at least use, her more than once, but that's too rich for me.

[@jeffnosdivad3080]

Today I learned I am Matt apparently.

[@crawdaddy1234]

What is this “attack step” you speak of? I thought that was a myth. 😂

[@watapon3415]

I got into commander cause people told me it was about giant creatures beating face. Keep it stompy Matt.

[@puddleduck745]

I love these guys but did Joey just say playing a pathbreaker ibex is "tricksy"?

[@psychozen7169]

It for me it depends on the turn order my style. If I am first I prefer control, seat two or second mid range aggro, seat three aggro or pillow fort, and last combo because it your best chance to win in that seat unless the monarch house rule is in effect for player four get monarch. Then I will play anything.

[@omegajewjew8255]

I play green/white little kid aggro.

[@yeschese]

I see Omnath, I watch video

[@felipeguidolin1055]

19 seconds in.... That's a new record boys!

[@marqs2065]

this joke I c'aw coming

[@fatbosa]

don't show valduk! he's my secret!!

[@fatbosa]

lmao love you guys
