For everyone not looking at the top right corner of the video during card explanations, you're missing out.

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Haha glad you noticed ;)

[@groynin]

Oh shit I thought it was "one" sentence per tactic but it change with every group of cards, nice.

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Yep!

[@jamesdavis5081]

Villainous Wealth is an insanely awesome magic card. I like this idea a lot. However I think if I were to do it I'd throw more stupid value spells in the deck, and more cast doublers like Swarm Intelligence. Do Villainous Wealth, Army of the Damned, exsanguinate, Torment of Hailfire, and the like to just destroy people with massive ramp and absurd spells.

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Definitely a good way to go about it as well!

[@Mars-tt5gp]

Yet again, I'm impressed.

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Thanks! Glad you are enjoying them

This is a very underrated channel. Commander is fun, but it's not worth paying +$100 for a deck to play with friends.

@@TheCommandersQuarters I agree!

[@ondrejbronec837]

Cabal Coffers + Urborg and bunch of ways to get them out are the best additions. Most opponents have nothing to do about them unlike Zendikar resurgent etc. Sequences like turn 3 Cultivate -> turn 4 Hour of Promise -> turn 5 tutor -> turn 6 you can Wealth for 12. It may not seem that great but after playing with it you will see that Coffers + Urborg totally change the power level.

[@Wyattfletcher9388]

[@thescribe509]

Farseek doesn't require it to be a basic land. It can be any of the dual lands which have land types on them. Steam vents, for example, with Mountain Island. That's why it's such a good ramp spell.

Acquire could prove useful in this deck, as it lets you search an opponent's library, giving you an idea of whether or not you should pick them as your target for villainous wealth

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Definitely a good consideration!

[@BundySloth]

I used play allot of jank villainous wealth decks in a casual multiplayer group at a local bar. Usually what would end up happening after I would VW the opponent with the most likely value, is they would get real salty and concede on the spot so I couldn't use their cards to destroy the rest of the table. This was back when it just got printed, and it was pretty hilarious watching them read the text on the card after I hit them for 30+ cards.

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Haha yeah people do get salty when this happens. They hate getting beat by their own deck.

[@Avatarbee]

Conceding in responce is a scum thing to do

[@friedpinnapple]

Zuran orb is hilarious with the gitrog monster. Sacrificing a land to draw a card and gain two life. I play a land matters muldrotha and those two are probably one of my best two card interactions

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

It’s fantastic!

[@bryanstage9715]

I actually really love oblivion sower and a few of the other eldrazi processors with Villainous Wealth, and I really think a Primal Amulet is so insane for spell ramp into spell draw into this.

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

All great ideas to add into the deck!

[@robkoper841]

Another card that’s fun to play along these lines is ‘Worst Fears’. Also, if you want even more mileage out of Villainous Wealth, ‘Ice Cauldron’ will allow you to load up mana in the end step before your turn or load a counterspell to defend your VW when you do it. Act fast before these cards are banned for being fun too(!)

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Worst Fears is a hilarious card haha I actually have never heard of Ice Cauldron, I will have to look into it!

[@lengtchee]

Which cards do you recommended I swap out for those you list as reasonable upgrades? The channel is beyond helpful.. Thank you.

[@reymarkable]

this channel is great...keep them rolling ..tasigur is quite powerful. some additions (which are out of budget) I would include are more milling such as sidisi brood tyrant and altar dementia and more mana doublers like crypt ghast and nirkana reverent and last but not least torment of hailfire which is a complete blast to play in edh.

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Most definitely! Those would all be great includes if you want to expand on the budget

[@Backstabmacro]

Torment is just an amazing card in general ^_^ My favorite method is to use Cabal Stronghold in conjunction with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Crypt Ghast or another doubler. Hailfire for 50+

[@MrJeffAqua]

I do like Jeremy's villainous wealth deck, hopefully he sees this and maybe he could play it next season as his budget deck.

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

That would be amazing! Fingers crossed

[@ExodaCrown]

This deck idea sounds like the final evolution of my deck idea. Beating people with their own cards is a great feeling. Though something I might add would be Rite of replication and Druid's Deliverance, using rite alone or kicked on one of your recursions creatures. Create a token, either get back rite or a card you need. Then use Druid's to fog, create a new copy and get it back with the token's etb effect. This will be a deck that I have to get used to playing it's style, the self-mill type style just hasn't clicked for me.

[@benrichardson5662]

I was about to say Riftsweeper but then I realized Villainous Wealth doesn't exile itself. Seems like the kind of card that would exile itself but I've been wrong before.

[@justright4389]

Life from the Loam is a good addition for dredge and recurring lands

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Definitely a great card! A little pricey for a budget deck though.

[@redshift2k529]

I wonder how well it would do with Muldrotha subbed in for tasigur

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Definitely an interesting one to consider as well! I would say the only advantages that Tasigur has over Muldrotha is that you can get him out quicker, he can get Villainous Wealth back on his own (with a little help), and people usually try to kill the Muldrotha deck first

[@groynin]

I wish I could see some gameplays with those decks, they all seems amazing but I can't play them to see how they would do.

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

[@aaronbravo325]

What cards would be good to swap out for the reasonable upgrades?

[@nonlinear3084]

Instead of all of te sacrifice land/creature land tutor cards have you considered land enchantments? Which may give you one or two extra mana per tap?

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

They are great in the right deck but they are riskier. If someone destroys that land you are in big trouble.

[@kylesavage4525]

Windgrace's judgement (that's the name i think). 5cmc instant kills a nonland perm for each opponent. That seems like a nice upgrade that is probably too expensive for the basic version of this deck. I would also add a couple more counters like Dispel, Negate or even Autumn's Veil (not exactly a counter but functions the same way) to ensure Villainous Wealth will resolve. These are cheap cards therefore can fit nicely even in the non-upgraded version. Sphinx of the Final Word can help with that too and it's not too pricey. Don't know if this is a card worth having in the deck for extra safety reasons though but personally when i build a somewhat glass cannon deck with one finisher i want to be sure that it will resolve. But since i haven't played with this deck i could be wrong and the amount of gy recursion cards are enough to compensate for when it gets countered. Anyway i really enjoyed the video. I love that there are so many cards out there that do the same job of edh staples only slightly worse (or even better in some cases depending on the deck) that many people including me had no idea they even existed prior to some of your videos.

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

All great suggestions! Thank you! And yes there definitely are some hidden gems out there!

[@danielharrison2383]

Kyle Savage honestly i felt the deck was good but needed more win cons.

[@thisone45]

Far Wanderings would be good here. Last I saw its .05 or .10$

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Definitely a good consideration! Not hard to get threshold in this deck at all!

[@khay0z]

Awesome deck and video! Do you play the deck a lot? How does it perform? I love the idea of budget decks but can’t help but wonder if they’re clunky to play.

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

I play this deck a ton and it has always performed for me! I can definitely understand the apprehension because they are budget, but these decks are tuned to be synergistic. I highly recommend trying one of them out for yourself!

[@khay0z]

The Commander's Quarters thanks for the response! I’ve just built a Tasigur deck but might go ahead and pickup these cards and give it a go, would be good to have a second less powerful version to switch to, thanks again!

Still dont get the prizes... Edhrec uses cardkingdom prices, splendid reclamation is for example at $2.29 there, while you list it at $0.99, the difference is huge (i don't care about keeping the cost at $25, but I want to buy cards as cheap as those prices...)

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Definitely understand where you are coming from. The prices you see underneath the cards are taken from Scryfall, which are generally TCGPlayer prices since those tend to be cheaper. When the deck cost is calculated, it is by optimizing in TCGPlayer

Good question! So with extra mana you can mill to get to important cards. Also he provides a ton of value by forcing your opponents to give you back a nonland when you do so. Sometimes this can be huge depending on what is in your graveyard. Also, he is a 4/5 that you can get out very early to deter attacks.
