MTG - Top 10 Best EDH/Commander Cards to Buy Right Now - Magic: The Gathering!

[@TheManaSource]

15 gods, not 10. I'm literally the worst...EVER!

[@qdfxrg]

Rip

[@KioskaraTTV]

Please

[@DonovanPresents]

Does Strionic Resonator copy Morph triggers?

[@Tskear]

I'd imagine, if you control the trigger, and it is a trigger. don't see why it wouldn't

[@KioskaraTTV]

+Thomas Kear Strionic can copy any triggered ability, so if the ability says when, whenever or at.

[@Rewwgh]

Invested in a Gauntlet of Might and a Mana Crypt last night. I feel satisfied. Now time to watch the video.

[@damienrice881]

Wedge, I want more worst cards. But I love you B)

[@TheManaSource]

YOU'RE ALL KILLING ME!

[@NecroAsphyxia]

WE NEED MORE WORSE CARDS!! MY EDH DECK IS HUNGRY!

[@melakiesimrak2758]

And just like that, most of these cards are added to my pucatrade want list.

[@hectorkings4718]

Picking up Nylea and Temple of Mystery, with Ugin hopefully coming soon thanks to this video! Thanks, Wedge!

[@Juicylemons1212]

So I just bought a starter commander deck and I think I will grab some cards from this list to change it up some. Awesome video Wedge.

[@Zakading]

Just picked up the full FTV: Angels set. Feels good, really.

[@hectorkings4718]

I've had my eye on that... How much did you get it for?

[@Zakading]

Hector Reyes Managed to find a 30€ set on Magic Card Market. Only bought the cards blanko, thougg the description did say that it'd include the box and the die. Paid an extra 9€ for the postage costs, though every set had that anyway. Overall, 40€ for the entire thing, with or without the packaging and the die, is a pretty solid price in my eyes.

[@part_timemtg2467]

love the video! I think Chromatic Lantern should be on the list as well. it seems underused in EDH but is perfect mana fixing for 3.

[@MadMage86]

My personal pick for must-have is Zendikar Resurgent; it is still in standard, so it doesn't qualify for your list but I think it still deserves mention since it's under $1 at the moment - as a one sided mana doubler that provides card advantage in a format in which those two things win games, there are few cards better. I'm stockpiling them already.

[@jticonchuk]

I have many of these, I really need to pick up several Athreos and Erebos, both do stuff I love

[@700NitroXpress]

Nykthos is really good outside of mono colored decks. Anything with hybrid mana for all the mana symbols really turns on the amount it can produce. All it takes is 4 mana symbols minimum to get value out of it. I run this card in every deck with Deserted Temple and it's always good. Clever impersonator copying a Mirari's Wake is insane. If you have an effect that gives all your creatures +1 +1, you can just play the Clever Impersonator and then play Progenitor Mimic copying it. Then you can get a free copy of Mirari's Wake every turn.

[@CephScience]

Thanks for the advice wedge! Got playsets or 5-6 of everything except Ugin. investments for future builds

[@MajorLargo]

Obligatory "More worst cards ever" comment.

[@tealcrafter3966]

Second that!

[@xF3arl]

Strictly worse. Strictly worse. Strictly worse.

[@BrotherAlpha]

I use Liliana in my monoblack lifegain deck. Get her out turn four and never miss a land drop again. Use her -3 if you need life to compensate for all of the life lost to card draw (The deck is monoblack.) by pumping one of my lifelink creatures for a turn. Or it kills a threat they may have. And that Ultimate makes all my X lifegain cards insanely powerful.

[@jaredreast6210]

Some wotc intern needs to see this list and sneak them into precons while no one is looking.

[@Tryo707]

Not trolling at all, honestly, but how much would it cost (via patreon?) to replace Wedge's green screen with a smoother one? Also lighting rigs. This really isn't meant as an attack on Wedge, a man I do respect and appreciate.

[@TheManaSource]

We just recently acquired a new, MUCH nicer lighting kit and we're getting a new green screen. We're also getting a new camera soon. This stuff takes money and the space we shoot in is very small so we're doing what we can, but I sympathize with your suggestions trust me! lol

[@Pickles1864]

I'd also suggest new microphone as well. I didn't want to subscribe and watch your videos for the longest time because of it. My roommate always watches you and I always found myself cringing to the audio but liking what I was seeing till one day I caved in.

[@leventedoleviczenyi1218]

+Pickles i think audio is just fine :)

[@Tryo707]

TheManaSource Can we help you out at all or do you have no need? Cheers.

[@thesquirteler4520]

Since Commander is so awesome, you should do an Ishkanah EDH deck tech. I love your content, so I trust you could make an awesome Spider deck.

[@allisonwatson3837]

I completely agree with ugin and the gods here.

[@Lightshade49]

It's funny i picked up a copy of foil/promo versions of all the khans, not because of EDH, but because i'm making a custom duel deck series based upon on the tribes of tarkir (both khan and dragon tribes) for a little bit of casual fun play.

[@Rewwgh]

I'm happy that I pulled an Expedition Confluence a while back :D I will wait for DTK to rotate and then get a foily Ojutai. Temples and Nykthos seem good, those I need to check into soon.

[@TheReal_birbwizard]

I already have 2 nykthos I'm thinking of getting 2 more to fill out my playset.

[@swolegolisopod7340]

+Logan Armes when I went to bfz prerelease my store was sold out so I used that $30 to buy a playset of nykthos and 2 dragonlord kolaghan

[@TheReal_birbwizard]

Nice.

[@docterfantazmo]

In the last EDH match I played I had *Dictate of Erebos*, *Vampiric Rites*, *Skull Clamp* and *Elspeth* out by turn 5, Dictate completely shut the game down. I eventually destroyed it myself just so the other players could do something, first creature played was *Clever Impersonator*, copied my *Elspeth*... so much for chivalry.

[@SirPream]

Wedge, you should do a cube series! It'd be great to see some videos on recommended cards or even reviews of cubes from something like Cube Tutor! ...also more Worst Cards Ever....

[@PaulGaither]

Great job as usual. Basically, get Theros stuff now that it is out of standard and most of it's cards are worthless in Modern. The prices have crashed, but as they age and more players enter the game over the years, the demand will see their prices rise. Don't forget Elspeth, Sun's Champion, the weapons of the Gods, Hero's Downfall, Soul of Theros, and Soul of Innistrad.

[@tromedlovdrolmai]

Please make a Red-Green Deck Tech for standard with Eldritch Moon making sure to include: Permeating Mass Atarka's Command Eldritch Evolution It's a deck I want to build, but i don't know what else to add, and it would be my first standard deck (I mostly play modern and commander)

[@CMOJoker]

Thanks for reminding me that I need an Ioras and Temple of Enlightenment. It's payday so I'll probably add them to my modern order I was going to make today.

[@KioskaraTTV]

Man I have a gods Tribal EDH deck so I must be ahead of the curve here. Dang. I've got almost all of this list! XD Nice list anyways though~ I wasn't actually paying attention to Ugin and I might finish up a playset for the future.

[@lynminal]

I love strionic resonator in my Zada deck, double double

[@jordanpmklein8858]

my foil impersonator has served me well. carried me to 1st at khans prerelease and copied many a avacyn or karn in commander. dude is insane

[@tylerthomason5594]

You forget that Dictate of Erebos says your creature has to die for them to sac a creature, Grave Pact is when they are put in the graveyard from anywhere. That's the price difference

[@LRMorningstar]

You have no idea how happy you made me by putting the gods at number 1.

[@LordWiggle]

I hate you. You cost me so much money, every time I watch a video of you I start ordering loads of cards :p Thank you for the great explanations and combo possibilities! Also, I'm really bad with names, so I can't remember card names. The fact you show a readable picture of every card you mention is awesome.

[@CharlesGouraudgaming]

Strionic resonator is actually a nonbo with Brago because the cards that you want to flicker twice are entering the battlefield as new instances of the permanent, so you can't actually use that. However, strionic resonator for the other two are nice.

[@MagicMuffinsStudios]

It can copy triggered etb effects

[@CharlesGouraudgaming]

True. Fair enough. I guess I misheard him, or at least misinterpreted him, thinking that he was saying that you copy the brago trigger.

[@spitfiremase]

you're an idiot. Strionic Resonator and Brago wins the game with any decent ETB effect.

[@TheManaSource]

Brago usually leads a deck full of triggered etb effects that the Resonator can abuse.

[@spitfiremase]

You can copy the brago trigger. and that's one of the strongest things you can do. if you have resonator, a non-land way to make two mana. and any ETB effect that does anything good at all. you certainly win the game by connecting with brago.

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

We actually included Strionic Resonator in our Budget Brago King Eternal deck tech...too bad it will never again be under a $1 in price :(. Perhaps it's for the best ;).

[@lucasturner7490]

Please tell me you had Cloud of Faeries... that, Resonator, Brago, and anything with an ETB effect go infinite. (Brago ability of the stack, copy it, flicker everything, you now have two more mana, an untapped resonator, and one more Brago trigger on the stack. Rinse and repeat)

[@JediMB]

I picked up 3 copies of Nykthos to complete my playset around the time when people started preparing for it to rotate out of Standard. $4.50 a piece, so I guess I've already "saved" some money.

[@RoyTheRanger]

I love how I have most of these cards. Nice to know I'm prepared

[@andrewhuff4734]

Ayy, I already picked up 3 or 4 of those already for my suicide stax deck not too long after Theros rotated, so a lot of the ones I got were cheaper then than they even are now. Feelsgoodman.jpg

[@Kasukurri1]

This is certainly rare for me... I have almost all of these. I shall hold onto them closely so I can use them.

[@SableGear]

Strionic Resonator + Narset, Enlightened Master , get these while they're cheap and annoy all your friends!

[@lindellsconce3170]

+TheManaSource Hey Wedge, how about the Khans from Fate Reforged? Their abilities give them a triple-color identity, right? They all make for awesome commanders (except Dhagatar). I suppose at rare, they won't accumulate as much value, but they're EDH gems for sure.

[@michaelislost7164]

I bought the black/green cards from his last video and saved a whole 1$ between the two cards so far X)

[@rapples101]

Glad I picked up a playset of Nykthos for a few bucks each when Theros was still around lol

[@demetriusa.phofolos7184]

Id love to see a melira deck with phyrexian unlife or an esper thopter sword deck

[@alexwaren2030]

good eye on the resonator, but you entirely forgot illusionist's bracers

[@ra_0374]

Soul of New Phyrexia was the first mythic I ever opened... I have no idea were it is

[@BlackOctoberFox]

Dammit, Wedge! I was going to pick the Gods up when I could afford all of them and their thematic cards. Now a lot of your subscribers are going to buy them and hike the price up.

[@88Hyo]

I sold 2 obelisks of urd for 5 dollars each not too long ago. I'm glad.

[@nerdytb6041]

You said Strionic Resonator, and I laughed, knowing that I already have it, Rings of Brighthearth, and Illusionist's Bracers, because synergy.

[@browndogstouty7591]

I tip my hat to you sir. Love the Nyx joke

[@elaceitunero1882]

I currently dont play magic, but i love your videos a lot!

[@DiverseCurse]

I Sold a Foil Ugin for around 80 bucks. 20 would have been a great buy back in July.

[@Spartan_Mello]

Just opened an expedition mana confluence!

[@letzgoterps]

The Dragons aren't on the list, but here are the Dragons, pay attention to the Dragons. Sounds like they're on the list to me Wedge!

[@loganplourde886]

Man, I really liked the zendikar sets, I liked the art and the everything... Man, zendikar is the shit.

[@evanmilsteadt1446]

Martial Coup, literally the cheapest powerful board wipe in white. Don't forget Descend Upon the Sinful

[@mikefehr5290]

hey wedge, great list! can you drop a text version in the notes section?

[@incendium8348]

Those 3 Nykthos I have are gonna make me happy, aren't they?

[@moonfall1224]

I opened a mana confluence from a pack about 2 months ago. I do hope it goes up in price.

[@sped13]

Well I have most of these already probably gunna pick up the rest after pre release

[@xakuyer]

Maybe make a video about the best edh cards in eldritch moon ?

[@arran2264]

Great vid....however back to standard for a moment...WHERE THEM WOLVES AT!!!

[@johnathongardner2338]

i pulled 30 ugins, one of which were foiled :D i can wait till they spike

[@savedasloths]

Lol, basically Theros greatest hits video, I looove it

[@sandstormsux]

I FUCKING LOVE LISTS

[@LethalPigeon7]

Narset is a competitive EDH staple, nafenza sees play in all french, and a lot of normal EDH in those colors. While sidisi is rarely seen, zurgo is literally irrelevant trash. Even surrak sees more play as one of the 99.

[@aleksanderk6765]

Loved this, and I am not even THAT into commander - nice to know anywayz

[@dsigg4288]

My friend just made a Zurgo deck recently and I have to say, it’s a total bitch to play against. The fact that he can kill a player in just three hits with commander damage and you can easily attach artifacts that give him unblockable is just insane!

[@SugaFlurb]

i remember pulling Phenax from my first fat pack. I wish i still had it T.T

[@Spooky_Bard]

Once tomorrow rolls around and we get the full Eldritch Moon card list, are we going to be getting any decks techs? Personally, I want to see UW spirits.

[@TheCKT10gaming]

There are 15 gods btw. (10 multi)(5 Mono)

[@awarrior607]

Can you guys do a deck tech on/with argothian enchantress? Please?

[@ChannelLostbutseeking]

I just recently bought the Clever impersonator, it's just stupidly cheap, it's a crime not buying it, and I agree with all the choices, Kind of sad I paid $30 for ugin a couple of months ago.

[@mtgcapital1135]

I really like those video oh and don't forget to make some new "worst cards" videos :D * hides behind a tree *

[@HungryNightOwl]

Anybody else notice that Duplicant is $4? That card has been reprinted a few times and it's still typically $8+. Probably worth getting now if you need them.

[@primusjuliuscarnifex8262]

I built a bare bones edh b/u mill and was able to get an Ashiok of 1 dollar and a mirko vosh for 1.50. Now my friends hate me.

[@Nicholasmower12]

I strongly believe another card to grab soon is chromatic lantern. Yes it's around $15 right now but when it goes into every deck that has more than one color how can you pass up? I personally think it should have cracked top 10 imo.

[@VanderOZ]

Great list!

[@sharkyprodiver4904]

obelisk of urd in my tribal angels EDH XD I had people concede when I played it

[@magicaljellyfish]

This month I picked up a Dictate of Erebos for 25 cents at a thrift store. Score!

[@metalsabatico]

I appreciate these kind of videos

[@spoopyboi1882]

i play the Dictate in Sheoldred commander :D

[@spoopyboi1882]

***** my friends feel the same :P

[@spoopyboi1882]

+Miles Noctis only because I have to work with what I have, and what I have is not the best :/

[@THESUPERCAT64]

You, my fine friend, have excellent tastes in commander. The misery of others brings me joy as well

[@dalesmith9017]

Please do a manaless dredge deck tech. I can link you to my list of you need

[@simonnoble4789]

What about mystical tutor and enlightened tutor? They've gone WAY down in price due to reprints in eternal masters.

[@alanyuan8565]

Now can we do the worst cards to buy?

[@nomak38416]

I'd like to go back to Theros in a few years, I just hope the damn eldrazi are done after this block and don't ruin any more cool planes.

[@Kestral287]

In theory they should be done. They're all trapped again.

[@praetorianmars1933]

Yea that'd be awesome. I'd love for them to make it about Ajani leading the mortals to defeat the backstabbing douchebag Heliod

[@nomak38416]

Elspeth was my favorite Planeswalker (also my first PW card pulled.) I hate how they killed her off, but people have escaped the underworld before. If Ob Nixilis can regain his spark, then Elspeth can too, but she I see her coming back as a white/black creature first.

[@praetorianmars1933]

+Akrium S I dunno. Theros is a strange plane in the sense that when someone dies they are transported to a different realm of Theros, rather than dying like one normally would. This means that if she or Ajani can find a way to get her and her her soul back across the river in one piece, she could return in her original form. However, that is much easier said than done

[@thekkl]

If you only need one Mana Confluence-ish card, City of Brass is (almost) the same for cheaper.

[@shwift8789]

Another great video!!

[@ManuelJoao3105]

New version any time soon ? Thanks !

[@prn_Melatonin]

Strionic resonator in Narset.

[@TheMonyarm]

panharmonicon is like resonator on steroids.

[@arch4581]

can you guys do a deck tech for the new spider legendary.

[@gates7831]

Best EDH cards to pick up: 1. Mana Crypt 2. Sol Ring 3-10. Doesn't matter

[@MrSloopywafflesprink]

I pulled a expedition mana confluence

[@esands36]

I need to get Kruphix

[@BalleBaest]

I have like half the gods in my binder and I'm very hesitant to trade them away!

[@TheBloodlessPine]

I just completed my most recent edh deck, yet I just purchased a full playset of Ugin. I don't know if I should be happy or really, really upset at myself.

[@eldrazisypathizer7348]

any tips for a progenitus commander deck?

[@ClammehHands]

I got in on Dictate of Erebos at $.50 when they were in Standard. Who wouldn't play it when they can have redundancy with Grave Pact, a $10 card?

[@ptcgnetwork7407]

good list!!! 🖒

[@crispyimmortal]

I bought nykthos and the scry lands right after they rotated out. like 1$ each.. hahaha

[@shawnthornton7971]

wedge i noticed you left out keranos in your list ;D
