Omega Level Commander | Rowan, Scion of War | Incredibly Powerful | Deck Tech | EDH | MTG

[@tommieboi707]

Wow this deck seems brutally good. Like, you can lose all your friends in 1 turn. I love it!

[@WayfarersBauble]

2:18 You weren't sure if I'd make the cut, were you? Well HA! First up!

[@aledominguez9173]

We need a non budget deck list, such a powerful commander!

[@Merit_Liege]

No. We do not

[@ntr.fuhrer]

This isn’t the right KZbin channel for that mate unless he’s making a break the bank video

[@110890nick]

i would love it. maybe just have it as a not budget cards there could be add instead of some other cards.

[@xenocross6597]

Torment of Hailfire, done.

[@Sateliteman]

Pulled the alt art, was planning something like this with fireball effects. Thanks for the tips 👍

[@deathknightrevan]

Exsanguinate is cheap, though maybe a little more expensive than the cards on this list, and deals x damage to every opponent, then you heal for all the damage taken. Great damage and heal. Some of the lifegain spells in here like swallowing plague and March of wretched sorrow also deal damage to a Target creature, so putting in a stuffy doll or brash taunter is a solid addition. Basically cast either deal X damage to your brash taunter/stuffy doll, they will redirect that damage to any Target including players, and then you heal for that much. Brash taunter is better since you get to pick where each instance of damage goes stuffy doll on the other hand you are forced to pick a player when you play it.

[@wowfreak10]

The spell in her hand looks amazing

[@crovax1375]

There's been so many great Rakdos commanders lately! I'll be putting Storm-Kiln Artist, Urabrask, Birgi, and the like in mine 😎

[@donbigotes360]

I like how you think! Gonna see how this works with my build 😈

[@212thfives8]

Sunbird Invocation would be a nice addition to this deck. You can just sap through your entire deck

[@Oscar-b5b4x]

A game between Rowan and Will feels like Revenge of the Sith💀💀

[@calvinethobbes66]

Dark Confident and Treasonous Ogre can be an absolute gem in it i thinks :) Maybe consider Imp Mischiefs? As he make us lose some health? ;) Good video btw! Maybe he can replace my old good Prosper in Rackdos !

It says on her ruling, “The value of X is determined only once, at the time Rowan, Scion of War's activated ability resolves.” That means you can’t untap her to ‘do that again’, right?

[@linguaphile9415]

Also a nice commander to play Dragonstorm in, and then you sequence the dragons in a way that their mere etbs kill off all your opponents. You just need to make sure you lose enough life by casting cheap spells (mana rocks, rituals). After that it is a one turn win.

[@cteal2018]

Treasonous Ogre says "Hello"

[@Someone-lg6di]

Got rowan as a promo at my prerelease

[@sparta1821]

Hello, i am new to magic and i find it hard to find every card in such decklists especialy the older ones. I try to searc hin the market but they are sold from different sellers and each has their own shipping fees and its so chaotic to gather the 100. Is there a place where i could put all the cards i want in a basket and make a single order? Thanks!

[@OfficialBlackmarker]

Depends were you from. I find the shopping wizard from cardmarket very useful

[@bubblehulk7647]

Coolstuffinc and SCG but hard to find every card in stock

[@Leivve]

Half tempted to reassemble Lord of Riots, just so I can strike down these foul pretenders. Rakdos is about shiving the spleens out of your enemies to sell to the black market, not donating your own blood for charity! If your game plan is to lose life, then allow me to help with that!

[@onemanboyband2802]

Rowan group slug with Rakdos as lieutenant. Use cards that damage everyone equally.

[@nikolaykondratyev3021]

super solid deck list my dude great work. I'm not sure about the steal cards effects, they're a bit trash if your commander isn't on the battle field, I would probably look to squeeze in some sacrifice synergies so that those can be used offensively

[@MxPinky]

ooooh also cool interaction that this can take place on opponents turns after they hit you it seems??? very intriguing

[@erenjager4698]

It's only at sorcery speed so unfortunately not

[@Strung0ut79]

Blood Celebrant seems pretty good in here.

flame rift (4 damage to each player) is really great for this too. modern horizons II.

Pulled a foil alter art of this gal in prerelease, gonna go ham 😂

[@MxPinky]

I wonder if there's any like red or black card who has a mana cost that is colorless??? cause base on the text this can reduce to 0? I don't know if there's like a colorless that says idk tap for red, say a mana rock but that would be free which is super sick

[@volkhane]

Iron Myr and Leaden Myr do this, but i'm not sure whether it would work or not. they have the colour identity, but do they count as "red spells?"

[@azazelmorningstar5631]

No they don't, mana symbols on the text box count for identity but not as that cards colors

[@MxPinky]

OOOOOh thank you so so much :0 I haven't played for enough years to see this other than K'rrik and gut shot I didn't even think of them. Absolutely fantastic@plamenbalev3632

@@Someone-lg6di yeah I just ended a game turn 5, but it was pretty much over by turn 4. It’s alright tho, most of the ppl I play with use pretty high power decks

[@kdubz1898]

I was hoping someone could help me out with a question. Say it's my turn and i go to precombat main phase, and my rowan is immediately targeted with a swords to plowshares, Since rowan reads "activate only as a sorcery" i cannot tap in response to use her ability, right? Also can someone just use an instant on my precombat main phase? don't i have priority since it's my turn?

[@anujissar4853]

They can do that any time a new phase start, so when you untap, upkeep or draw. I mean every time you move through a phase and not do anything the other players get the priority

[@bubblehulk7647]

The way to not get blown out is to activate Rowan, then respond by losing all the life. If you lose all the life they can respond and get your sorcery speed Rowan first.

[@onepointtwo500]

[@ArgumentumAdHominem]

Cool deck. Certainly missing some ways of protecting commander, as we likely cannot recover if our commander is removed twice and costs 7 mana

[@chriscox6230]

Mitch, I don't know if the traitorous blood synergy would work. Rowans ruling says it only determined once as the ability resolves. It won't stack the discount if you untap and tap her to activate her ability again, it will only reset the max amount of life loss you had this turn.

[@sunshindo3726]

Just ordered her for a cheap price.. if she's as good as I'm hoping. She might go up?!?

Now I wanna see Will, just to complete the siblings. And also because my friend and I are each building a commander deck based one one of the siblings and I chose Will

[@OdinMagnus]

Before I even watch, if you don't have Fanning the Flames or the Black drain buyback one, I'm gonna be disappointed. I mean, for 2 mana you can hit an enemy for the same amount of life you lost and you don't even lose the card, it goes back to your hand

[@zozekia]

I can't find the black one you mentioned 😢

[@OdinMagnus]

@zozekia sorry, the black ones aren't as good. One is Evincar's Justice and the other is Brush with Death. Both aren't as good as Fanning the Flames. Brush gives you some life back and Evincar can be a board wipe

[@ODIRGO]

[@Fleewood52]

I’m confused. Why do you need to lose so much life? Surely you only need to lose between 1-10 life depending on what’s in your hand. Why do you keep saying spells will cost ‘30’ less to cast? What spells cost 30 mana???

[@miiiu3908]

X cost

[@azazelmorningstar5631]

For the X cost spells he explained it in the video, many spells like the damage dealing ones can win the game by themselves if their cost is reduced enough since the cost reduction applies to determine the value of X

[@Stup1dC4t]

Crackle with power, exsanguinate, and torment of hailfire will close out a game if you dump that much life, assuming 2 blue mana isn't left untapped 😂

[@andrewl5833]

She dies to damage removal, T3 at best.

[@onemanboyband2802]

Just like most cards...? That doesn't make her bad, it just makes her a Commander lol.

[@andrewl5833]

sorry if you don't understand but 2 toughness as a commander just isn't good enough in most cases. 15 of the top 100 commanders are 2 toughness or less and with that in mind 5 of those 15 buff themselves with 1-1 counters 9 of those 15 are combo pieces that usually win the game immediately when they hit the board or the player untaps with them. 1 of those neither combos out or buffs themselves. Kaalia, and she is the quintessential KOS commander. She also sits as a T3 commander because of this, no haste or immediate effect . So it isn't that much of a stretch to evaluate a commander with 2 toughness, no haste and no immediate combo potential so low. especially one that demands the owner to lose life to be effective. Theres ways to counteract this of course but it can still be taken advantage of pretty easy.@@onemanboyband2802

[@SinTransphobicTrigger]

Looks very cool. Unfortunately tcg player doesn't have single sellers that have a lot of those cards. So shipping is well over 100. Big sad.
