Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin tournament cedh deck tech

[@crowgaming1013]

Ob nixilis is one of my favorite cEDH commanders. So glad you are doing a deck tech for it. Keep up the great work mons❤

[@cedhtv]

Thank yoU!

[@buddieschiknful]

Rending Volley is 100% in the list for Drannith Magistrate. Deck straight up does not function if Drannith is out

[@Rizso1]

also nadu

[@TheSpiritombsableye]

Pre-bannings, it kills Nadu.

[@TheSpiritombsableye]

6:09 that was pronounced perfectly.

Thanks for the deck tech, I have been trying ob a lot since I like the playstyle, I think that in generl BR need a bit more interaction to get to top tier, but it is still a fun deck. In a similar style and color combination rakdos the muscle can also have some potential, I have been trying him a bit and he does have some pretty explosive/stormy turns as well.

[@cedhtv]

Rakdos the muscel is a bit weaker then Ob. I have seen muscle do better job inside the 99.

[@pierrebuthaud7640]

I love this Ob. I think he does his own very unique niche quiet well and seems very fun and interesting to pilot with a lot of decision making. I would have loved to see how he would have performed like 4 or 5 years ago when the format was slightly less powerful.

[@cedhtv]

I think he would have been stronger back then. So many other commanders have gotten ahead.

[@lokumo13]

Timing couldn’t have been better. Literally have 4-5 different Ob lists up on Moxfield as I got a notification about this video haha.

[@cedhtv]

If there are any cards you curios on that I didn't showcase just ask away.

[@lokumo13]

@@cedhtvMons! What does the data say about the MH3 flares in here, mainly the red one?

[@SilentGe42]

Rending Volley is usually used to kill Drannith which completly shuts down your deck. It's hats to interact with it

[@cedhtv]

Good one!

[@brendans1983]

Hot takes for Ob: 1. Play Will but not Breach. Frees up another slot because you dont need Grinding Station. You will cast a lot of 'value' Will's that can explode into into win attempts, but you cannot do the same with Breach. 2. Simian Spirit Guide is good in your hand but absolutely horrible to exile and Naus, get rid of it for Springleaf Drum. 3. Disciple and Mayhem Devil are extremely overrated. 4. Prosper is too slow. 5. Gamble is terrible in this deck. Your hand will empty quick and it feels like a borderline dead card a lot of the time. 6. Tormod's Crypt 👍

[@ardiwii]

what card will you recommend switching in for disciple and mayhem devil if they are overrated? Are the cards with firebrand archer effect better?

[@brendans1983]

@@ardiwii personally, I find they rely on your opponents too much. I have a less than 10 things that let ME trigger them; and if I am making the triggers then I am more into the pushing the potential storm count. When I exile a bunch of cards I am more excited to see the non-creature pingers appear than Mayhem Devil. I totally get they do something useful, and in certain circumstances are better than the pingers, but in my personal experience I have found they do a lot less on the battlefield than people suggest. I am totally open to discussion on this, I love Ob Nixilis and think it has some real potential. I just feel it hasn't been totally figured out yet, but the cards already exist for it to happen. I don't believe it needs more cards to be printed to make it better, it's ready to go!

[@connormatthews9048]

Rending Volley hits Drannith, Drakes, Kinnan, Sisay, Nadu, Kraum, and Talion on top of the esper

[@TripsAhoy]

❤❤❤

[@hchoeiberg]

What are the stats for [All Will Be One]? I play it in my build but it honestly feels clunky as hell

[@cedhtv]

339/415 play it and winrate from that 19.68& and that is a drop off -0,49% ... so it is red but not that much and a lot of players play it. 81,7% play it.

[@hchoeiberg]

@cedhtv thanks Mons! That does support my experience that it feels really clunky. Essentially, it's really hard to play it and trigger it in the same turn. I think I'll experiment with cutting it

[@patk.8010]

@@hchoeiberg I feel like all the tutors in my deck are for All Will Be One.

[@codykizer6359]

Another banner brother! I just picked up najeela and her win rate has dropped. Its been a year maybe an update on her?

[@thecroce]

Magda is to play after docside to go into bolas citadel and storm off

[@Rizso1]

rending volley is for nadu and dranith

[@dasfabelwesen]

I do not think it is a good play to kill a mediocre value engine like esper with a gutshot. The only value engine that is worth killing is Rhystic and that also only on an early turn.

[@cedhtv]

But gutshoot can't kill rhystic study. while it can kill esper. But sure your not wrong that it might be better to use it to draw cards.

But gut shoot cant kill that.
