Omega Level Commander | Tovolar, Dire Overlord | Incredibly Powerful | Deck Tech | EDH | MTG

[@BoiledCroissant]

In my Tovolar deck, I have the werewolves in clear sleeves on the side, and in the deck I put a bunch of the cards that came in draft packs for making the double faced cards. Helps so much to avoid having to sleeve and unsleeve.

[@Westblader]

That's a really good idea lol. Could you share your decklist with me, pls? Tovolar seems super fun

[@catfight113]

genius

[@davidsilveira8387]

My favorite commander and commander deck by far , i love the tribe .

[@devsoi]

Love tovolar and werewolves. It’s a pain to keep track of day / night but can absolutely slap if people aren’t ready. Some of my favorite art in magic too

[@AdamKaiser1]

Would love to see a $100.00 upgraded version

[@nightgod555]

My finisher/ panic button is triumph of the horde. It's pricy but an army of wolves with rabies is terrifying to see

[@PinkPeachVODS]

I run a Tovolar deck and I love it so so much; a bunch of werewolves and wolf token makers and you are good to go. Avabruck Caretaker is a good card too; on the werewolf side each creature you control gets hexproof AND 2 +1 counters on combat. Little on the pricey side but very much worth it!

[@Westblader]

That's super cool! Do you mind sharing your decklist with me, please? I'm very interested in building a Tovolar deck for myself!

[@kazumaster293]

Would be interested in the list too

[@TheButTickler]

I had a really good Tovolar deck, but man flipping those wolves over and over and over again gets so old. Dismantled it even though it was good

[@revanliviar1239]

I fixed this issue by just having 2 of the same card so you dont have to flip it

[@mrrbb2028]

Keeping track of day and night cycle is a task on its own. I had one too, but after three games, I was tired of flipping cards around like you.

[@voxkine9385]

Yea, I instantly wanted to build this deck the moment he was spoiled, but by the end of the day, I realized just how tedious his design was. It’s a great commander if this was a computer game, but physically keeping track of day/night while flipping every card, on top of tracking all the normal abilities of each creature… it’s a terrible physical design.

[@blairbrook1336]

@@revanliviar1239same I have a token version of each one it is sooooo easy .

[@Almighty_Mage]

@@voxkine9385 Agreed. This flip mechanic only works digitally as every "solution" for running the cards physically is still a pain

[@3LimbedHero]

I love it. I actually run a bunch of combat tricks in mine and have a couple creatures that aren't werewolves. I run Karlach for extra combat and general marhault (the guy who gives your creature +3+3 for each creature that blocks it). I run dolmen gate, bear umbra and aggravated assault along with rage reflection and gruul charm (usually choosing creatures without flying can't block). Had to do this cuz the power level of my group (mostly running phyrexians) just got too high.

[@priscillaquinn9505]

Great deck but i think 2 essential cards along with immerwolf are mayor of avabruck and huntmaster of the fells

[@05374]

Gruul Werewolves need more love

[@forestgilpin8849]

I was frankly kinna Shocked by Tovolar, and how much he over performs, i had a werewolf deck before he was released and i couldn’t get an impactful turn in, now its a really great aggro deck and i only changed out the commander and put in the new Fantastic werewolves

[@noname-mz2yb]

In my werewolf deck I have hollowhenge overlord, immerwolf, dolmen gate, avabruck caretaker, mayor of avabruck, sage of ancient lore plus others that would help me.

[@SolomonRasputin]

Thanks for the reaper king deck tech. I won twice last night play testing it 🙏🏽 💯 🔥

[@SuperCred1t]

One of my favorites to play

[@jek15origami]

This looks like an incredibly fun deck to play! Thanks for the great content!

[@KaixiongGoh]

Why the old werewolf does not follow nightbound /daybound it’s confusing

[@spaceelfdimp4852]

I know it’s a pet peeve for people to flip werewolves but I love the feeling of flipping over the werewolves makes them feel more like an event that their flipped and I have alt art for most of them so they look even cooler

[@spaceelfdimp4852]

Edit: I also tore apart the Tyranid deck for the plus one plus one counters and shadow in the warp is far to good to not include makes people really think twice about their rampant spell slinging and although it’s 2 dmg it adds up especially if the game goes on for too long

[@ScarHydreigon87]

I play a Wolf Gruul Deck in Arena and I might consider picking this up for my first IRL Commander Deck

[@WayfarersBauble]

10:18 Of course!

[@EliteMTG]

Love your channel I never miss a vid! So u have inspired me to start making a mtg utube channel aswell ❤

[@hillelmerkin8498]

Don’t forget about dolmen gate. Guaranteed being able to attack for card draw each turn

[@philovermyer6166]

Just needs one little card, Blasphemous Act, because a flipped Ill-Tempered Loner becomes a wincon.

[@v02max75]

Finally a decent werewolf commander! I was just going through my cards and i found a ton of interesting wolf/werewolf cards and i was bummed that there isnt a decent commander(that i knew of). Thanks for changing that 😃 Question for you/the community: How do we get around the day/night mechanic? You cannot rely on players casting no spells to transform your cards and players play 2 spells per turn all the time. So my question is how do we transform at will? Obviously the commander and the golden pig deal with this but thats not a reliable way to get my werewolves sorted out. And once my commander is ALREADY transformed, how do i get my new permanents to transform WITHOUT the day/night mechanic?

[@farfetchdideas695]

You don't. This deck and the day/night mechanic are tied at the hip. The good news is the newer werewolves come in already transformed if it's night due to the Nightbound ability. The bad news is the older werewolves still work off old flip mechanics and essentially rely on Tovolar and Immerwolf to flip them and keep them flipped. As long as you can keep Tovolar on the field he will reliably keep your wolves flipped at the start of your turns though. The Celestus and Unnatural Moonrise can also immediately flip it to night to the benefit of the newer werewolves.

[@v02max75]

@@farfetchdideas695 so does boss man flip back over every turn so we can re use the front side? If he pops all the werewolves every turn, it's less of an issue. I just figured that it was a one and done thing, unless he flips for the night mechanic, obvs

[@farfetchdideas695]

@@v02max75 He flips everytime it switches between day and night. His Daybound side turns it to night and transforms all human werewolves at the beginning of your upkeep if there are at least 3 wolves/werewolves on your field. So yeah, he'll for the most part keep all your wolves flipped to the preferred side on your turns. Moonmist is an instant that can transform all your werewolves too. The deck wants to run a lot of flash and instants to spread your mana usage out into your opponent's turns to avoid flipping back to day at the end of your turn. Howling Moon buffs your wolves and gives you a wolf token everytime your opponent's cast their second spell. Fury of the Horde is an outstanding card in the deck, allowing a surprise second combat when you draw into it off Tovolar, and pairs nicely with Unnatural Growth. Ill-tempered Loner is an all-star in the deck, his Nightbound side allowing your wolves to reflect damage back at opponent's and winning games outright when paired with Blasphemous Act. Avabruck Caretaker, Hollowhenge Overlord, and Primal Vigor are also some good cards to add.

[@munen-muso]

​@@farfetchdideas695good feedback, thanks!!!

[@The1nvisibleJeevas]

Don’t forget Geir Reach Bandit, which can make any werewolf transform upon entering the battlefield. You can also get Vivian, Champion of the Wilds or another card that helps you cast all your creatures with flash so you can at least play your spells on turns that are not your own and make sure your puppers get to stick around in their furry forms a little longer.

[@SCP-yu1ex]

@The Commander's Quarters I cannot find your video on the Will, Scion of Peace deck. I wanted to take another look at it for reference on how to play him but it is now gone.

[@constancebashford2324]

Glad Tovolar won this month!

[@pureshotzz44]

funny i literally ordered this guy 2 weeks ago because i just wanted to make a Werewolf tribal deck So cool hes starred in todays vid :D

[@nemesisgate]

😊

[@korodrion]

Hey, i'm new on the channel and returning back to MTG. What does Omega level mean ? Since you also rate levels from D to S

[@matthewlozano2078]

DUDE NO WAY I JUST BOUGHT THIS CARD LAST NIGHT

[@bashlindsay7618]

I really want to build a Werewolf Tribal Deck.

[@As_Father_and_Son]

I built an effective and lethal werewolf deck, but this one is way faster!!!

[@omgadrood1]

The only problem i have with immerwolf is that it prevents Tovolar from transforming back to human then bringing new werewolves transformed back over with him, unless you have a way to consistently make it night/ transform humans it relies too much on your opponents not casting spells. Ive just found it a hindrance when ive played it most games.

[@atrainthedonofphila]

Mitch I like everything except the immerwolf it clashes with tovolar whom you want on huma side to transform the new werewolves and you need extra combat spells as well

[@The1nvisibleJeevas]

Yeah, a deck like this comes with a bunch of unwritten rules. There is an ideal combo of creatures you can have on the field. 1. Gier Reach Bandit, transformed 2. Howlpack Piper, not transformed 3. Immerwolf You basically get to just keep tapping Piper to put werewolves on the field, transform them instantly, and make sure they don’t transform back.

[@flashatak4791]

question, if tovolar is in the command zone, the effect applies? it becomes night if I have 3 wolves in place? or is it necessary to have it on the battlefield to apply the effect?

[@dsp.351]

This is sweet! I built my first ever deck earlier this year and it was wolf/werewolf tribal with Tovolar as commander. This video gave me some great ideas to improve it and make it a bit more consistent. I honestly don't find the day/night mechanic that bad as long as you're attentive to what other people are playing.

[@galford90]

It seems great, but I NEED to watch someone playing this to believe people will not mess with your board every turn. It's really hard to believe especially in a 4 player match that your werewolves won't turn back to normal on your turn. There aren't that many pieces that change back to night or keeps at night. Only watching someone playing this I would believe it would be fun

[@diamonddynamo9611]

I'd love to see how you build a tymna the weaver and Tana the bloodsower

[@erikwilliams1562]

Imo immerwolf is awful for tovolar. With the new Wolves you want some of those sweet triggers

[@Nollijfull]

This is a deck you build in MTG Arena, not paper.

[@bretts3046]

1.5k thumbs ups in 3 minutes?!

[@kami8022]

only 65 thumbs up on my screen

[@skolrisulfr]

should have traded tovalars huntmaster for holowhenge overlord

[@Raoul9753]

I wanted to build a Tovolar Deck, but then I looked into how many decent Werewolfs the game has, and the amount is very low... So you basically have no real opinion to make a unique twist on that commander, and chances are when you are building this Deck to be kind of good, it will be the same Deck as every other Tovolar Deck, with minimal differences at best... And just like that, I was bored

[@austenmosley9750]

1st

[@wrexurdnot1656]

this is edhrec level generic 'deckbuilding'

[@Piratesaregay12322]

I had a tovolar deck and it was a lot of fun at first but then having to keep track of day/night and all the counters, tokens and triggers just became too much for me personally.
