Omega Level Commander | The Mycotyrant | Incredibly Powerful | Deck Tech | EDH | MTG

[@volkerarndt8457]

Deadbridge Chant seems to be a good choice for this commander. Putting 10 cards into the graveyard means 10 tokens. It gives you recursion and is also a permanent card.

[@MyrnnSkyberg]

7:28 Funny you say this while referencing a WH 40K card, because the orks in 40K are basically sapient fungi colonies, so when they pilot their ships they are essentially ships being piloted by fungus.

[@captainreadingabook]

This is the commander from LCI ive been MOST excited to build. Thank you so much for the video! Also, i think syr konrad could be an additional golden pig for the deck. 😁

[@carlos_wrong]

Well, I cracked open an alt art version of Mycotyrant in my first Lost Caverns pack. Now I have a decklist to try it out. Thanks once again mate!

[@SoloWing88]

Same here

[@Benjie-z1h]

I just finished building my Mycotryant deck and you post this! Destiny

[@kirbyfanprime]

For everyone who still can't wrap their minds around descend, think of it like this: a permanent needs to be able to STAY in the graveyard to add to the count. Tokens don't STAY in the graveyard, but vanish after arriving.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this!

[@markfisk7124]

What I'm getting from these comments is... 1. People don't understand descend 2. People don't understand how something can be a permanent but not a permanent card 3. People don't understand how truely nit-picky specific the rules of MTG are

[@steven_merriam]

When this commander got leaked I knew I wanted to brew it. I have yet to buy the deck but I’m really pleased with the one I built and am excited to get some ideas from this video too.

[@jaredoliver5200]

Maskwood nexus, Avenger of zendikar, sylvan anthem, ashaya soul of the wild, and he's wrong tokens are permanents.... -_-

[@ComradeVect]

@@jaredoliver5200 Yeah, but descend refers to "permanent cards" and tokens aren't cards, so it doesn't feed descend effects like the Mycotyrants.

[@Darksotu]

​@ComradeVect Tokens are permanents and are technically cards when referring to non-specific permanents. For example if you were to go by your logic effects like "Destroy target card" wouldn't hit tokens with your logic hence why so many cards specifically state "non token card" or "non token permanent".

[@Marcibarti]

Well, if the tokens would trigger descend this commander would be even more broken than it already is. „Oh yeah, I just sacrifice ten fungis with Lich-Knights‘ Conquest to get ten creatures back. And because I descended now ten times I get those tokens back at my end step. And don‘t forget my Roaming Throne which makes The Mycrotyrant trigger twice so I get 20 tokens for sacrificing 10 tokens.“ That would be totally over the top, so I‘m really glad that it doesn‘t work like that. That all being sad, thanks for the ideas. Already built her but I sure as hell need and want to upgrade it some more so this video arrived at the perfect time for me!

[@thekagemaster]

Big Myc is probably what I’ve been most interested from the new set. This is huge. Giant axolotl of doom is pretty cool though.

[@DetritusRelated]

Mesmeric Orb could do wonders with this. Simply untapping all your lands every turn could net many tokens. Or add Basalt Monolith for infinite self mill. These aren't necessarily under a dollar though.

[@jessianderson3959]

Greater Good. Got a board of 5 tokens & a hand of 5? Greater good ALL of them, Descend 10, next turn sac Mycotyrant to Greater Good and get a brand new hand. My secret spice was cards that love a huge creature, and ways to immediately return Mycotyrant to the battlefield. It is HIGHLY effective

[@giulioluciani181]

Today I'm lookin' for decklist with this commander and so now I'm here, sir.

[@Ashleycfd]

Lich Knight's conquest is pretty game ending too for this deck

[@Pulleymeister]

Grave Pact

[@ChitosVids]

I thought of this as well but he only wants perms in the deck to trigger commander

[@Mr_Maiq_The_Liar]

If you're willing to spend another 6 dollars, the growing rites of itlimoc can both draw a creature card, and transform into a gaia's cradle that you can easily turn into more mana than you really know what to do with.

[@murphyspell7125]

Torment of Hailfire is what you do with it!

[@RyRytheMusicandGamingGuy]

Hi I'm 8 months late to this video and I'm the one who says "My commander is a *cough* FUN GUY" Also absolutely LOVE this commander and love your ideas!

[@SolomonRasputin]

A mushroom walks into a bar and says “hey bartender, can I get a beer?” The bartender says “we don’t serve your kind here!” The mushrooms says “what? But I’m a fungai!!”

[@wado_ichi]

I really miss the extra deck lists you would have that arent budget friendly. The contrast was always fun to compare.

[@uber_stuber]

legit perfect timing because i've actually been considering creating a fungi deck

[@cleetusi9559]

I’m immediately changing the name of my Mycotyrant deck on moxfield…it’s definitely “Just a Fun lil Gi”

[@cp911s]

Oblivion Crown is another budget friendly card if you need a desend trigger

[@blkmask2]

5:53 ahem dredge cough cough. Why pay mana to mill when dredge is free? They are so underplayed that no one sees it coming anymore only two dredge cards? That hurt my soul golgari gravetroll go brr, this deck is the off spring of my gitrog and slime foot in one. Ur fellow Funguy😂

[@ChitosVids]

because its not a perm, he only wants perms in the deck

[@jessianderson3959]

How is NO ONE talking about how good greater good is in this deck? It dumps your hand if you sac enough saprolings, and if your hand is empty, it basically mills you, then you have a giant 12/12 body on the board you can greater good at the end of the turn because your commander. The synergy is sooooo good

[@gearyjoshua6264]

Tokens do count for descended, but don't xount for descend. They touch the graveyard then cease to exist and can't count towards the count of graveyard permanent since they aren't there anymore.

[@mark1A100]

they count for neither. they are not permenent "cards" with cards being the important bit

[@joshuatran1556]

Altar of Dementia would go crazy in this deck

[@murphyspell7125]

Also, Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Torment of Hailfire..

[@Kahadi]

I'm not usually a fan of self mill effects because my bad luck too often makes me mill the cards I don't want to mill and not mill the ones I don't care about (at the moment) or do want to mill. So I was personally going to go for an aristocrat strategy with my Mycotyrant deck. But... I like this build a lot and might just give it a try. I also have a few cards already that I could add as upgrades, ones that I know wouldn't be mentioned because they aren't typically budget but which I got lucky with in packs or splurged on. So I'm gonna try this.

[@madmanvarietyshow9605]

Side note run spells that allow you to get specific things out of the grave too.

[@KeeganMcKinney]

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new Stalactite Stalker and how it could be handled competitively in a UBG deck.

[@rayswift5711]

Put Izoni and Spider Sprawl there for even MORE tokens

[@greyjedi1272]

Putrid Imp, Jaheira, Friend of the Forest, altar of dementia???

[@gerbotimbers]

This scratches every single golgari flavor itch I enjoy. I may need to dismantle a deck now...

[@flyingstormboyz3479]

Wondrous crucible is no longer cheap. I was trying to put it into my mycotyrant deck, but I can’t even find a place that has it

[@Ethan-vp8tr]

Why Butcher of Malakir over Gravepact? Why not both? Even throw dictate of erebos in there to really ensure no one gets a board. I find broken enchantments usually stick around a little bit longer than broken creatures, but that might just the pod I play with. Side note, I am correct in assuming gravepact works with tokens right? Because tokens hit the graveyard then disappear?

[@rykersorenson2916]

would grave pact work in this deck on the original print it just says “whenever a creature goes to the graveyard target opponent…” however on the newer prints it says “when a creature dies, target opponent…” so would milling work with grave pact even still would be good for the sacrificial part of the deck but curious how it plays out for mill

[@MrCoschta]

TCG decklist is such trash to view on mobile. This site needs to level up to 2023.

[@kenjix7316]

This decklist is missing a card right? because its 99 but its counting the commander in the creatures so it should be 100, no?

[@WOLVEOVSIBERIA]

Mitch do the upgrade of Tha Explorer Of The Deep Precon!

[@iliya1933]

What exactly is the difference between the “tactics” in this video format?

[@iliya1933]

Is Egon, God of Death mainly in this deck in the hopes that you will draw him early enough for his transformation to occur? I imagine that it would be impossible to transform him after you already have another mill engine going, in which case he’s still a 3-mana 6/6 with deathtouch, which isn’t bad at all.

[@dreamingwolf7521]

Of note, Egon doesn't transform. You choose which side to cast. Which is nice for giving options

[@iliya1933]

lol thanks for clarifying. I saw "sacrifice" and read "transform."@@dreamingwolf7521

[@saleen12]

Do you have a moxfield link?

[@TheElectrikCow]

Wait I've been out of the MTG loop for the past few months, did I miss something about tokens not being considered permanents anymore or something? Does it have anything to do with the new descended mechanic?

[@WarlockBear]

Descend mechanic specifies permanent cards going to the graveyard. Tokens are permanents but are not considered cards.

[@TheElectrikCow]

@@WarlockBear Ohh okay that makes sense, thanks! I was gonna say last I knew tokens are permanents and when killed/destroyed they will technically hit the graveyard before vanishing, but that makes sense that they are not cards

[@WarlockBear]

@@TheElectrikCowI think it’s going to be the new wording for non token creatures. So will be creature cards. And since they introduced enchantment tokens last set, they would have had to include them also.

[@WACHULUKNAT]

i thought tokens technically went to the graveyard... and they are permanents.... now im confused

[@WACHULUKNAT]

i get it. the keyword is "card" tokens are not cards. maybe you said that in the video. either way i cleared it up in a comment to myself on youtube

[@danfoxx55]

thanks mitch

[@Pandapold]

Can someone explain to me what he talks about tokens are not permanents? 110.1. A permanent is a card or token on the battlefield. A permanent remains on the battlefield indefinitely. A card or token becomes a permanent as it enters the battlefield and it stops being a permanent as it’s moved to another zone by an effect or rule.

[@AustinOnStandby]

Tokens are permanents. But they are not cards. Descend specifically triggers with “permanent cards.”

[@devilion8]

They're still permanents but Descend, by it's rules, specifies permanent 'card'. Tokens are not cards.

[@rabidcabbage7230]

So explan the budget deck to me please bc when i go to add any one of your decks to a cart on tcg its over 100 bucks thanks

[@HighKingRoku]

If only he knew that Tokens do count as Permanents. (for clarity I actually looked it up and there are various ruling that state Tokens are permanents.)

[@dethdukk]

They still won't count for Mycotyrants descend count, as descend specifically cares about permanent *cards*, and tokens don't count as cards.

[@madmanvarietyshow9605]

You're actually wrong about the descending and tokens. Tokens *ARE* considered permanents and when they LTB they count as going into the graveyard, even if they physically don't, they still count as going into the graveyard.

[@ericdavis3046]

He said permanent CARD, like Mycotyrant’s text states. Tokens are not cards. “108.2b Tokens aren’t considered cards-even a card-sized game supplement that represents a token isn’t considered a card for rules purposes.”

[@sagetheweeb2154]

Tokens are counted as permanents, they just don’t have mana values unless they’re a copy of a permanent with a mana value, something to know for food chain situations, when they die or are sacrificed they hit the graveyard and then fizzle from existence, they can’t be reanimated because they don’t exist anymore but I’m pretty certain they still count towards decent triggers, like 90% certain

[@shanekelly9311]

They don't since they're not permanent "card"

[@jaredoliver5200]

Youre wrong, a token is a permanent.

[@jaredoliver5200]

I'd like to add on, if tokens weren't permanents they wouldn't be affected by devastation tide or cyclonic rift.

[@princeofcats6465]

The confusion comes from the fact that Descend cares about permanent CARDS, which while Tokens are permanents, they are not considered cards for the purpose of triggering Descend

[@roseythe3rd]

No you’re wrong, tokens are not considered cards. While tokens are “permanents” they are not considered “permanent CARDS.” Which would explain why tokens get hit by cyclonic rift but don’t trigger descend.

[@chrisholmes1343]

Nope you are confidently wrong.

[@nathangauthier4998]

Read the text… it says permanent cards, pause the video at 1:32

[@dustinwrightson7447]

Budget deck this deck and you are wrong about the tokens thing should check or put up rules text for things cause yeah I've seen ppl count tokens to this hell I do still cause token hits graveyard still then goes away we need good channels that explain rules and keywords or triggers so when ppl dis agree can easy pull up a official rules videos so some can show and explain stuff cause magic got some janky weird rules

[@lucamarsiglia7284]

token dont go to grave so ofc noob
