Recently, I've had a need for videos about how to bring a deck from a low budget, to a higher budget in steps. For example, having a video about how to build a Yarok deck on a 50$ budget, then how to improve it to a 100$ budget, then 200$, then 500$, and then maybe 1000$ and no limit. You could do this as a series and do this for any commander. It could help people enter the format and grow into it. It could also help players build themselves a gauntlet of decks, instead of focusing on a single deck, which will help vary the play experience and add longevity to the game.

Mathieu i know this May be 3 months to late but I would start with small things, lower the CMC of your deck and get it from where it is now to about 3-4ish that way you aren’t trying to worry about mana fixing as much. Next get fast mana rock (I.e grim monolith, Moxes, mana crypt, mana vault..) those are basically staples in 90% of all EDH decks and will boost your power significantly. Last thing you should get are the “power staples” so in the case of Yarok, you’re in BUG so sylvan library, gaeas cradle, etc. eventually you’ll get you’re CMC down to about an average of 1-2. Of course you need a win-con and a route and that’s commander specific. I hope this was helpful if you need any more advice I’ve been playing cEDH now for around 3+ years

I’m already building a deck for this guy. Play tested it with my group and I ended up winning with a combo that fell together. Chulane, Teller of Tales, Shrieking Drake, Meloku Clouded Mirror, Zendikar Resurgent and Psychic Corrosin. Part way through the game, all my creatures were wiped out, but I had a decent land base thankfully. I played Zendikar Resurgent. Then on my next turn I played Chulane, Meloku and Psychic Corrosion. Then I could start the combo. I cast Shrieking drake, drew 2 cards, one from chulane and one from Zen Resurgent, so they milled 4. Played an island. Shrieking drake entered the battlefield and then I bounced it back to my hand using its own ability. I tapped the island for two blue thanks to Zen Resurgent. Used one to return the same island I tapped to my hand using Meloku. Spawned a 1/1 blue illusion. Then used the other floating blue to cast shrieking drake again and repeat the process for as many cards as I had in my library. But since they milled 4 for every 2 I drew, they milled out first. However, with my deck I’m focusing on landfall with creature ETB triggers. The draw combo just happened in my deck construction. Just proves there are a lot of combos that can happen with this dude. I can’t wait for him to officially come out!

I've got a druid tribal deck with Tishana at the helm. Going to try using Chulane at the helm for it now instead. It uses the isochron + dramatic reversal combo with the mana dorks to get infinite mana and untaps and steal everyone's lands with gilt-leaf archdruid. It usually relies on a card like stroke of genius to draw into a wincon but Chulane would make that draw engine a lot more reliable.

I figure your build it's around creatures, but some enchantments are a great backup to infinite creature cast, I use Aura Shards to deal with artifacts/enchantments, Path of Discovery to help avoid draw lands, Earthcraft for infinite mana, Cathar's Crusade/Mirror Entity making big menaces and Bontu's Monument to drain oponentes till death...

For your consideration: Mana Breach. 2U, enchantment: "Whenever a player plays a spell, that player returns a land he or she controls to its owner's hand." So with Chulane, I can guarantee having a land in hand by resolving the Mana Breach trigger first. .......Or I could draw my entire deck by casting a Shrieking Drake, returning an island to my hand with the Mana Breach trigger, put that same island back onto the battlefield untapped with Chulane, and bounce the Shrieking Drake back to hand with its own ETB trigger.

So posting this a bit before I’ve finished the video so sorry if you mentioned this already, but if you play omniscience in this deck, you’re ramping enough to be able to eventually cast it, and if you play the 1 drop that makes you bounce one of your creatures you can draw a card and put a land out with your commander...and bounce the 1 drop. And play it again for free. So you can draw your entire deck and play every land out of your deck that way, cyclonic rift and then loop nexus of fate until you win? (By the way the last bounce has to bounce your commander so you don’t draw any more cards once you draw your whole deck, along with maybe bouncing other draw effects? Or you can just play Jace or lab man to win once you draw your whole deck. You just have to be careful). You can play a reliquary tower for no max hand size which you will inevitably get out doing this. Pretty far out there combo but if you can assemble it that’s it, the game is over right away

Wizards has since fixed the wording on current cards, but cards like Fiend Hunter still work under the old text. It works like this: Fiend Hunter comes into play, you choose target when its come into play ability hits the stack. While that ability is on the stack, you sac it or however you are removing it from play. The come into play ability still has not resolved, but since it leaves play, that ability goes on the stack as well. When stack resolves, the removed from play effect resolves first since stack resolves in reverse order, then lastly, the come into play effect resolves, removing the targeted creature from the game permanently (since the ability that would bring it back into play has already resolved at this time). It's a weird wording trick that new cards don't have anymore. I think Oblivion Ring was the first card to abuse this.

Rather than Intruder Alarm.... try Village Bell-Ringer. It has flash and untaps all your creatures when it enters. Then you can use Chulane to put that same bellringer back into your hand to loop to draw out your deck (and win using a Laboratory Maniac) This is much safer than trying to do it with Intruder Alarm. Or.... if you want to be "fair" about it, you can just make all your creatures enormous with Valor in Akros or Cathar's Crusade using that combo and swing in for massive damage. Personally I prefer your method of using moonfolk + landfall. I already made a casual 60-card deck using exactly that strategy, and while it's really slow, it's also really fun once you've got your engine going, and probably the direction I'm most excited to see this deck built.

Food Chain/Curio/Aluren combos are very solid‚ it's almost like an inverse Prossh. Instead of a two cars combo existing in your Command Zone and depending on a 3rd piece to finish‚ your loop is in the 99 and Chulane is the finisher. Instead of Damage‚ your win is Lab Maniac or Jace. His biggest issue is cost‚ putting him in direct competition with Animar who is dirt cheap and a pain to kill. With that said built in evasion (though slow) mitigates it‚ and access to white means you can run all the relevant hate bearers to cover you (Ouphe‚ Rest in peace‚ Stony Silence‚ Gaddock Teeg ect).

@MrJkwatson235 жыл бұрын
100% agree. The value engines they have been printing on legendary creatures lately, specifically card draw engines, are getting out of hand. Seems like they are sort of “evening out” the playing field in terms of strengths and weaknesses of the color pie. The only color really lagging behind is red. I mean, DJ says it in this video- this commander has card draw, ramp, and self protection built in, where traditionally you would need to assemble some protection pieces. This commander will be difficult to play against because a main strategy to deal with a strong commander is to kill it enough times to make the casting cost untenable. It doesn’t really need a way to protect itself. The fact that it combos so well with very cheap creatures makes it miserable to deal with.
@GuardianAngelEatos5 жыл бұрын
@@MrJkwatson23 Well I think most of the card value legendary creatures have been either Simic, mono blue, or mono green, so green and blue. Red and white both need help and could use an effect like this. Blue and green don't need another legendary with this kind of effect, and especially to this extreme, because green and blue can exploit it the most I think. Yeah you pretty much have to kill this commander as soon as it comes out, otherwise you are pretty much wasting removal on it. Although actually after thinking about it, the bounce effect on your commander won't be that impactful the first time you cast it from the command zone since if you were to bounce it, you'd be spending more mana to protect and re-cast it from your hand than if it were to die and you re-cast it for the second time from the command zone. Is it really worth it to hold up three mana in a creature based deck to protect it the first time you cast it? Either way, I think It's still too good of a value engine. Not broken like Urza, but still very powerful!
@GuardianAngelEatos5 жыл бұрын
@UCyKUc03NI3AzKRfL3awYUjQ Well yeah I know the longer it stays around, the worse the value gets. I understand that. Like I said, I think It's too good, and I didn't forget about Yawgmoth.

Red and white are getting better cards finally as of late, but they still aren't that good. Feather I think is easily the new best Boros commander, but that's not saying much. Yeah green has gotten a ton of card draw in the last five years or so! Simic is definitelly the strongest two color pairing in EDH by far, especially in casual commander! Lots of mana ramp and card draw!

Thinking about building a Chulane deck, so I thought I'd watch this, clicked on the deck list link 2 minutes in and saw the price, I'm out ✌ I wish there was a channel that had tons commander decks built for different price ranges.

Commander's Quarters is the channel you want for that. Excellent content for budget based decks

These people creating this type of deck, prepare to be playing alone at home.
