PRIMER on diff ways to build Vihaan | Deck Tech | OTJ | Commander

[@MTGJanktown]

I’ve recently taken out the “101st” section in recent videos (aka the 3 cards that almost made the cut) to better manage video length time but feel free to lmk if it’s something that needs to get brought back or if it’s better that the vids are more compact this way 🙏

Sam would love this thumbnail

[@MTGJanktown]

Haha I hope so!! 😅

[@TheRoonage]

I am a big fan of grim reaper’s sprint and tragic slip in this deck. Sacrificing a treasure creature to activate Morbid is cool

[@MTGJanktown]

Grim reaper’s sprint… I’ve never seen it played irl yet but it reads so good 👌

[@kyleredmond6247]

If you have aggravated assault, vihaan, and plunderer out you can go infinite. Sac the treasure creatures after combat to pay for aggravated assault, get new treasures, then get another combat. The new treasures become creatures and you can repeat.

[@MTGJanktown]

Yeah this commander is nuts 🤪 haha

[@daltonphillips6188]

Species specialist makes it to where you draw for every assassin that dies so your treasures will sac for one and draw a card. There are other dumb effects like this that you can do. Overall this is going to be a nutty commander

[@MTGJanktown]

Oof that’s a really good call! Just value piled on value

[@Profetarojo]

thanks

[@MTGJanktown]

Glad I could help! 🙏

Aggravated Assault and Hellkite Charger go infinite with Vihaan and Pitiless Plunderer.

[@armyofmeh]

Mahadi acts as nearly a Plunderer double with the bonus that you'll get treasures for any of your opponents creatures that died during combat.

[@MTGJanktown]

Ngl I get scared of Mahadi not surviving until the end step 😅 lol but definitely a dangerous card when it works

[@armyofmeh]

@@MTGJanktown I can dig it. This is a very ragga dragga-like commander. Vihaans presence on the board is what turns pretty much everything on.

Hilarious thumbnail

[@MTGJanktown]

Phew I’m glad someone got the reference. I wasn’t sure if I was gonna go with it haha but Vihaan kinda looks like Sam Reich no? 😅 lol

[@nickatwork]

@@MTGJanktown tbf all white guys with beards and glasses look the same but it's a perfect fit

[@MTGJanktown]

@nickatwork lmao 🤣 thanks!

[@DuneEcho]

Patrician's Scorn with 13% of your deck being very key, useful enchantments seems like the wrong call.

[@MTGJanktown]

Oops I forgot to replace that with Cleansing Meditation in the deck list. But generally, I find enchantments really disruptive and is probably the only archetype that is more resilient than artifacts (or maybe enchantress decks just scare me lol). If we’re going for the win though (like revel in riches, ghirapur aether grid, etc.), then yeah we probably don’t want to wipe ourselves. But I don’t mind losing our value stuff like prosperous partnership, grave pact, etc. if it means breaking through enchantment decks’ lock
