Viewer Decks We Couldn't Play Until Now | Commander Clash S16 E07

[@GusRobison]

Thanks so much for choosing my deck Phil! No worries about replacing cards you wouldn't play yourself, I thought it was neat seeing you put in on-theme replacements. Anyways, glad you were able to pop off, Clash On!!

[@renobelk]

your deck was so cool! I have been meaning to build around it because there aren't that many X spells commanders. Loved seeing it pop off!

[@GusRobison]

@@renobelk Thank you! Leave it to Phil to show off how good doubling ramp spells can be. I love X spell tribal, I've also got a Zaxara deck because I can't get enough of it. Yours was really awesome as well! Love me some Jund value.

[@xyavdast5554]

At 30:30 Crim casts Invigorate without paying its mana costs but forgets to take the 5 damage from his own Roiling Vortex for doing that. While that did not change the result itself, it might have changed Phil's turn because Crim would have had a life total of 2 instead of 7 at that time.

Came here to say that exact thing :)

yep, seth could've blocked with junji which wouldve killed crim outright

[@christopherpleasance9726]

For those who are considering magus Lucia kane. The mana and the copy effect are separate things. The copy effect wait for the next x cost spell even if the mana used isent created by magus herself. You can use the 2 colourless mana on anything first then used an x cost spell after and still get the trigger for the copy.

everyone else picked fun janky decks and Crim picked a high power commander on level with Korvold, Feather, Inalla, Narset, Edgar, and Chulane they are so powerful that almost no matter how they are build unless you actively build to be the opposite of what they want like 0 creatures in a Chulane deck, or Inalla with all vampires then they are going to be powerful either way.

I have a question for you as a fellow grothama enjoyer, how do you feel about the idea of running him as pump spell votron. That's what I do and it's super fun. Plus who doesn't love giant growth effects.

@@JFroPrime I actually have the deck built to go one of two modes. One is Vigor where I have my whole board fight Grothama giving them all +10/+10 (cool with Devoted Druid). The other is Psychosis Crawler card draw mode. Both are fun. I think currently the only pump spell I run is berserk. A cool thing with the pump spell idea is pumping the opponents creature during the fight to make them deck out.

@@avall0nNn1992 High power, people seem to forget about that, you now that number 8 spot on the scale above a casual 7 and below that lower end tier 2 cEDH 9. hell some decks fall just shy of making it in cEDH because they cant interact enough and are just a turn or 2 to slow but still stomp casual decks. Korvold, Feather, Inalla, Narset, Edgar, and Chulane for some examples, you don't pull out any of these to play with an upgraded precon and think the precon has any chance at all. most normal casual decks even a precon has a decent chance of beating. a deck not being cEDH viable doesn't instantly make it casual, if it did then my 20k valued Sen Triplets deck is casual because its not good enough for cEDH now but 4-5 years ago the same list would be.

@@avall0nNn1992 Crim picked a high power commander on level with Korvold, Feather, Inalla, Narset, Edgar, and Chulane. Not cEDH doesn't make it a normal level. Some commanders are just so broken building the deck normally puts it far above normal casual decks and still not cEDH thats whats called high power. you can break down decks simply has 1. Random pile of cards in the right colors. 2. A decently planned out deck out of your bulk cards. 3. Precon/terrible commanders built well. 4. upgraded precons/casual decks. 5. High power decks, decks that pretty well stomp casual decks but crumble to cEDH levels of interaction, or cant out speed them by only getting to turn 5-6 kills. 6. cEDH the decks that consistently win by turn 3 if not stopped, or turn 4 for a tier 2 deck, or decks that are specifically build to stop those decks and drag out the game to win through grind.

[@avall0nNn1992]

@@atk9989 I agree, high power is still casual though. The thing is, the "high power" deck crim choose is in fact not high power in my opinion. This is a 150$ list without a lot of staples, it would crumble to real high powered lists since a lot of them are running super efficient interaction and and way better curve. The issue is that crims deck was better than the rest of the decks but this was because the other decks were Kind of poorly build. I looked at the lists and was stunned how high the curves were (except for Henzie, thats to be expected).
