Shadrix Silverquill STRIXHAVEN ELDER DRAGON EDH Deck Tech

[@AngeloRosales64]

Wow. I feel like it’s been a long time since we’ve gotten one of these slide show deck tech videos.

[@invertedname3099]

I like them more. 100%

[@averyraylan1078]

I realize it's kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?

@Titus Lian thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) I appreciate it!

[@tituslian8272]

@Avery Raylan you are welcome =)

[@deathpenguin005]

I pulled him in the extended art. He's breathtaking

[@duncangreen8871]

Lucky this is probably the coolest of the full art elder dragons

[@deathpenguin005]

@@duncangreen8871 I agree. Definitely getting a wall art of him at some point. Too gorgeous.

[@Mayberrymojo]

BW Tokens is my favorite type of token deck. In decks like this, I like controlling the board with a Grave Pact and/or Dictate of Erebos and a sac outlet.

[@RedCometNurse]

I am putting Smothering Tithe in this deck so even when I give my opponents a card, I still get another bonus unless they pay 2. I can't wait to build on this guy.

[@Moejuss]

I'm so pumped for this card. I'm excited to try him in the new mardu creature/sorcery deck. Give tokens and +1 counters away, mob rule to take them all, then sac all the stolen creatures to Extus

[@dif4797]

Ah yeah, that’s what I needed rn

[@TheBeholder1805]

I’m astounded that nobody mentioned that you can keep Contamination alive by picking the Inkling option each turn. Essentially a 2-card lockout against non-black decks, and one of the cards is your commander 👀

[@ProtoSkullX1]

Make a deck tech for all the elder dragons

[@k9commander]

Another way to go is to play cards that nullify the 'advantage' the opponent gets. Cards like Elish Norn, Engineered Plague, Tooth Collector, and Plague Engineer can give your opponents' inklings debuffs that will kill them the moment they hit the OPPONENTS' field. If you are not playing tokens, you can use Illness in the Ranks.

[@sanchezsebastian7]

I highly reccomend Sadistic Hypnotist in the deck! So you create an Inkling, an opponent draws a card and in your second main you sacrifice the Inkling to make that opponent discard two cards, basically making him get 1 card to lose two and also lose a life. In general I'd build the deck to make sure that I get more value than what I give to my opponents, with Smothering Tithe, Mind's Eye, Cathar's Crusade, etc.

[@alecolson8360]

Jumbo asmr

[@sebastiankruger1614]

Cough, cough.. "Nikara, Lair Scavenger" cough, cough. Also pls cover Breena at some point I think she'll be a very interesting commander.

[@venator-yv1gw]

Ah yes. The Bendy and the Ink Machine deck

[@TotalProductions123]

Can you do a awaken the blood avatar deck tech?

[@rustyowl924]

What this is DJ's channel!?

[@bryceduyvewaardt8136]

Dread of Night and just choosing to give out 2-1s each turn could be an interesting tech

[@JustExtras]

Does anyone happen to know anywhere I can listen to that music playing in the background? It's really good.

[@kaisburg2450]

If you’re feeling particularly mean, you could also pump out a bunch of tokens, give them +1/+1 counters and play... HUMILITY. (Evil laugh)

[@DarkSwan01]

I am an Orzhov player myself and I love this card and would love to build him as a commander but I may try and find a slot in my Alela esper flyers with an artifact/enchantment theme.

[@jkk6435]

What in the world is that background image at 0:20 from? it looks beautiful!

[@sebastiankruger1614]

It's the new art for "Tendrils of Agony" in the strixhaven mystical archive.

[@saucercrabzero]

@@sebastiankruger1614 The Art Card for this makes great tokens

[@flewphernegro1516]

fun one

[@brianshanahan5274]

How well could this decklist work with Breena, the new face commander from the precon??

[@Giga-lemesh]

Seems good

[@duckstuffer2152]

Definitely throwing Endless Horizons in mine, both for the ramp and because it's just a flavor win!

[@NoGloveNoLove32]

Not so Group Hug Shaddrix is gonna be fun

[@Giga-lemesh]

Does cathar’s crusade work with blot out the sky? Doesn’t the whole card resolve before any triggers can go on the stack from the tokens entering?

[@olafthemoose9413]

Yes. Yes it does. You get some big bois

[@Giga-lemesh]

@@olafthemoose9413 but isn’t cathar’s crusade destroyed before it triggers?

[@OgaTasumi]

The card resolves top down, so cathar's crusade sees the tokens entering triggers then gets destroyed as the spell finishes resolving. As the triggers have now been put on the stack they resolve putting counters on your dudes even though the enchantment has been destroyed. If it said destroy the noncreature permanents before creating the inklings, then this interaction would not work.

[@Giga-lemesh]

@@OgaTasumi thanks for explaining it fully! That makes sense now, I’m normally pretty good with how these things work, but I was confused by this

[@nathanialmynameisajoke]

I think these strixhaven color archetypes should be referred as such, they do not function the same way as the color combos have traditionally. Lorehold and boros being the most obvious.

[@jacobjensen7704]

You say that, and yet the Lorehold recursion strategy works great in multiplayer aggressive decks. Being able to recover and immediately start reapplying pressure is a great boon to Boros aggressive strategies. This is what I like about this design- it's great for those of us who really enjoy turning sideways and beating face, but can also be played in other ways for the non-aggro players out there.

[@MTGAlpha]

Such an exciting new commander! I chose to exploit the target player draws a card ability a bit more :)

[@svenvannimwegen4936]

And you may choose two so you could just help yourself and chose one

[@olafthemoose9413]

No. You may chose 2 translates to chose between 2 or 0

[@krlbcn]

Oops that thief of blood proxy symbol :P

[@alexb1375]

It's actually from the Legendary Cube from Magic Online, if I'm not mistaken

[@krlbcn]

@@alexb1375 oops my bad xD

[@duncangreen8871]

Cool I don’t have $600 to drop on cards though
