Anowon, the Ruin Thief | Crimmander Deck Techs | EDH

[@T_Peazy]

Love the new perspective from Crim. Nothing against Tomer but I like seeing multiple peoples building philosophy.

[@luv2hugapug]

Agree a lot as crims style matches mine a lot more right down to giggling at trolling my opponents

[@daredewley9231]

I freaking love commander. I really tuned my Anowon in a completely different direction, really focusing on beatdown, card draw and graveyard disruption as opposed to grave steal. I love that yours is different than mine, and no matter the commander everyone's deck is unique

[@xxenergizedxx6695]

Yes!! Thanks for the deck tech Crim! Really enjoy all your content and Twitch Stream. Such a good positive vibe and laughs. Thanks

[@DragonDTG]

Crim: Awesome deck tech, I love seeing some paper magic, it’s rare these days in the current digital age. You should show off more of your mismatched lands! Keep up the good work!

[@blanketfortrobot]

Always love your energy and passion, Crim! Keep it up, brother. Much love from the Seattle (Quarantined) Commander Crew!

[@benjaminarmstrong9627]

I play Anowon as well, one of my new favorites!

[@daredewley9231]

Me too!

[@thisusernamedoesntmatter]

Thieving Skydiver can steal 0-mana artifacts but you just still have to pay 1 for X.

[@VRanger100]

Since it's Crim doing a Deck Tech, the first thing I looked at was the number of lands then the ramp. It looks good, but somehow I still worry for the man.

[@shadowpsyke]

Crim's decks always draw as if they have 6 lands less than however many are actually in the deck, lol.

[@Flaskgarg]

the first deck I built for EDH had 33 lands and 4 pieces of ramp. Now, 10 years later and Thada Adel has 32 lands and 7 ramp.

[@abheekpandya8717]

He's skimped out on ramp in this deck again. He really will never learn.

[@ellfangor8]

I played against him on this deck last Friday. It's pretty awesome.

[@watchsilverback]

@@abheekpandya8717 I built a version of this deck a while ago and got to play a few games with it finally over the weekend. Skimping out on ramp seems to be the way to go and I'll explain. From what I've seen, at least in my version, I almost always want cheap evasive rogues early so that when I play anowon, I'm getting value of his triggers asap. In other words, i was happier when i had a 1 and 2 drop creature over a 1 or 2 drop mana rock most of the time.

[@DaKareerKilla]

Am I misreading the rules text on Thieving Skydiver, or does the "X can't be 0" statement apply to its kicker cost, and its triggered ability? The way I initially read it, if X=1 for example, it can target an Artifact with 0 CMC because 0 is less than or equal to 1, but maybe I'm mistaken.

[@T_Peazy]

It says " x cannot be zero" but it also says "an artifact of cmc X or less"

[@DaKareerKilla]

Ah good to know, thanks for the confirmation

[@michelspode423]

Crim, i love the video style with showcasing the cards and then editing so it has a slide presentation feeling! hope to see more videos from you like this. Also loved the special effect "very cool" when showing the bitterblossom!!!! simple but really very cool. i admire your playstyle of "fair magic" in commander. not like tomer with all his combos :P

[@JordanMurdockMusician]

This was super cool to watch, its nice to see people show off their new paper decks in these current times lol I really like Anowon as well. I bought the precon and made some changes. Just the other night I had 4 True Name Nemesis out using Glasspool Mimic and Stolen Identity.

[@Randilliam]

I love this list! Thank you for all you do!

[@theinternetrocketscientist5770]

Crim: Thieving Sky diver can't take moxen. Me: 0

[@shinsua_]

I have to advocate for Coat of Arms in a list where your creatures are unblockable

[@oom-3262]

I have to advocate against it. Maybe my playgroup is too tribal oriented. But when I'm playing both against krenko and Edgar, it suddenly feels like I'm literally hanging myself.

[@MitsuSC]

Coat is death in a tribal meta. Rather use Door of Destinies and build up from there.

[@shinsua_]

@@MitsuSC This is why I say in a deck where you're playing unblockable creatures. It's a very good alpha strike enabler, so long as you don't get fogged

[@T_Peazy]

4:05 Ninjitsu is activating an ability not casting the creatures. Zareth's Ability is the same as ninjitsu. Can only be countered by a stifle effect.

[@N1ghthavvk]

34+3 Lands and only 4 Mana rocks? Damn Crim, that's ... brave! Personally, I play a "small tribal creatures" deck for my clerics (obviously aristocrats), but even there I play 38 Lands and I think 3-4 Mana rocks. And I still manage to get mana screwed since it draws so many cards I just don't know how to play them all (Tymna+Ravos as commanders does that). So yeah, hope it works out for you, but I'd add 4 Lands and play the MDFCs in their spell slot. Also, I really like that you split of into a special channel for EDH content! Makes the bell easier to ring, since I'm not terribly interested in Standard for example (still kept the Bell on for the "main" channel since Ilike Against the Odds), and this way it's easier to curate the notifications.

[@AndrewWoodford]

I’m not interested in this Tribe or Mill. But! Paper is my favorite and I love seeing people passionately speak about their actual paper cards. Please do more!

[@sethchapman1425]

My updated version of this adds any of the blue black playing with your opponents stuff. Also the 2 enchantments that make all my creatures rogues.

[@ThunderousChemQ27]

Sweet, I just got an extended art Anowon out of a booster too. I just wish he was Grixis instead of Dimir.

[@FacGame2501]

I really liked the format of the video. I hope you continue with more paper cards deck techs. Btw, can share you my Nicol bolas Commander deck?

[@benjaminedds9257]

You are totally in your element explaining and breaking down the rogue deck. Good job?

[@jackpabich763]

I personally feel the deck should have 36 real lands for most players, and like 38 for Crim with his unfortunate relationship with the magic gods

[@aaronfreeman8252]

I love the name, Crimmander 😂

[@bluepaw810]

10:23 You mentioned Mindcrank + Dimir Guildmage as an infinite combo, I think you meant Duskmantle Guildmage. Not trying to be jerk, just pointing it out so nobody else has to stare at Dimir Guildmage for 15 minutes trying to find the combo :D

[@theinternetrocketscientist5770]

ROGUES!!!!!!

[@xpeezy3292]

what is a good replacement for cyclonic rift ?

[@mrTjstephens1]

First off love rhe name of this ceimander Second

[@ArleneMarvell]

Dude, your soundboard just makes me laugh every time

[@wheelchazeal8089]

Dude your Oona. I’m boarding the jelly bus.

[@nicktofani8455]

Really late to but Thieving Skydiver is X or less, so you could definitely get those mox opals or mana crypts

[@jaskiniamestwa]

Kick Thieving Skydiver for 1 and take that moxy as if it was yours.

[@wgoms]

How about Earwig Squad for Prowl cost finding and removing 3 cards from enemy library; Rootwater Thief attacking and paying 2 to find and remove one card from enemy library; Faerie Macabre and Nezumi Graverober to response an grave spell from enemy?

[@trixterDevil]

Crim, what do you think of replacing Gonti with Thief of Sanity in this deck? You would lose one Rogue and the ability to recast Gonti after swapping him back to your hand with a ninja or zareth. But lower your average cmc and mill your opponents more. This deck has lots of evasion already to get your stuff to deal combat damage.

[@thump3r]

YEA MIXED LAND GANG! GANG GANG! 🤣

[@polbulanosalto7403]

I want to see the other goldfish hosts on crimmander

[@luccharmasson5133]

Build Inalla in paper & do a deck tech on it. I know you had fun playing her in commander clash, everyone hated you out because you’re playing a combo deck but I would love to see the crim approach. Even if that means cutting all the lands 😂

[@supermaxguy]

Our meta has been getting more cEDH and cards have been getting more powerful. We've talked about making a casual ban list like you have in your MTGO videos. What cards would you recommend to add other then fast mana and certain counterspells like Force of Will and Mana Drain?

[@felixrehlander9197]

I guess you meant helm of Obedience at 10:26 ?

[@shaden489]

honestly surprised you arnt running fire and ice and feast and famine

[@jekanyika]

4:35 ?

[@FelipeSilva-bq7dk]

Gameplay!!!

[@diddlydoo8014]

CRIM YOUR NAILS ARE SO PRETTY WTFFF

[@cloaking111]

Hear me out Crim and you'll learn the true Rogue tribal commander. Gwendlyn Di Corci gives you acces to grixis and the true rogue way of trolling your opponents by making them discard cards at random

[@angelsepulveda9211]

Krim be nice, let Tomer have Kodra lmao

[@rafaellumrodas350]

Hell yeah the asian avenger!!!!

[@dahuntre]

w o w

[@Andsio]

i've just bought the precon deck, no i'm just 900$ shy from pimping it this way

[@mrhabulaba]

I wish normal card images were used instead crim filming for legibility purposes. Super hard to read on mobile

[@Tuturial464]

Its grixis minus red. I prefer grixis minus black

[@Zeromus5555]

Oona just isn't great here. She costs too much and to get her effect off you gotta sink even more mana

[@sepeterson86]

Rise of the Dark Realms isn't $40 lol

[@andrew163]

Yo

[@alancoulson]

Constructive critique: a couple of times you said things like "this was given to me" and "you can see this". Many folks listen to videos but aren't looking at the screen as they listen, so if you want to ensure folks know what you are talking about you have to explain more clearly. Otherwise this was a cool deck tech w some sweet blinged card versions

[@scottybasp]

thumbs down for notion thief
