The Baron's Jhoira of the Ghitu | Commander Tune-Ups #43

We are tuning up The Baron of Aristocards' Jhoira deck, keeping in mind his theme of strong attackers and huge take extra turn effects to get our suspended spells out faster. Special thanks to the Baron for guest starring in this episode, and you can check out his channel here: / swagshow

Fun Fact: at the Reno MagicFest, my Trench Gorger was a 36/36. But what's more interesting is that it was in a game with WOTC rep Scott Larabee, who was the actual designer of the card! He was thrilled to see his design seeing play. Also, nice suggestion with the Sphinx Ambassador, I'll pick one up. Cheers!

[@NitpickingNerds]

Always a pleasure, Baron!

[@MrRockguy84]

it makes me happy that u guys collaborated together :)

[@sephyrias883]

Hey, I know that guy. He did some neat mtg top 10 list videos and decks as well. About this deck: 3:30 - 10:10 What about Artisan of Kozilek and Pathrazer of Ulamog? They're both bulk rares and still stronger than most other threats on this list. (edit: Pathrazer is even an uncommon) Regarding the removal-issue: you need the removal to survive long enough to cheat in your big spells. Those spells then need to win the game on their own.

[@z4t3k21]

This deck sounds real cool guys, great deck tech!

[@NitpickingNerds]

It's a real killer. Might automatically score a win if you underestimate it

[@EdRyan]

That was actually my first edh-deck and i still love it!

[@NitpickingNerds]

How long ago was that?

[@EdRyan]

@@NitpickingNerds About 7 months ago. I'm still pretty new to the format. I used the Baron's video as a guide line :D

[@jxj13]

Woah this was great!!!!

[@NitpickingNerds]

Thanks! We are looking to do more collaborations in the future.

[@s.i.rjewel828]

I gotta say I absolutely adore how both my jhoira's are super powerful and interesting, I've always been a fan of artifact synergies hailing back to my first competitive 60 card deck which i used in multiple formats by switching out key cards that had similar effects but the most authentic to original that the deck was based off of was either a vintage or modern deck based around metalworker called mud anywho I'm getting off track my point was that her artifact commander form I've built a super strong deck around and want to see what all I can do with this commander because the ability also seems to be pretty solid value

[@DavyMcWavy]

This jhoira is my favorite commander to cheat stuff into play. Mainly because you get the cast trigger which is taken away in most instances of cheating things into play

[@kennethdixoniii4113]

I do have some dope-ass hats, gentlemen. Spot on.

[@NitpickingNerds]

We knew it!

[@jspurr332]

Ral Zarek can give you 5 Extra turns if you are lucky!

[@ultra2019]

I've been looking to make an extra turns commander deck; I was thinking of making one with Arcedes but this one is nice

[@NitpickingNerds]

Arcades the Strategiest?

So make a bunch of walls and smash face? Sounds sweet

So much purp.. i loves it

[@NitpickingNerds]

Joe is decked out in it!

[@workyoutube7798]

@@NitpickingNerds "Decked" out... i see what you did there... also, red + blue = purple, I'm sure all that was intentional. My cat Gravy says hi.

[@workyoutube7798]

@@NitpickingNerds Also, Joe kinda looks like he broke into Breezy's stash of purp and got decked out in that too...

[@NitpickingNerds]

Totally unintentional honestly lol. Also there is no "r" in Beezy :P

[@workyoutube7798]

@@NitpickingNerds OMG most unbelievable typo ever.

[@crovax1375]

I can't think of a different deck that could use Jhoira's Timebug, yet somehow it just doesn't fit in the deck! Also since the next set is supposed to have a ton of counters in it. I wonder if this deck will get a few new pieces for it

[@scotthensley269]

I actually enjoy jhoira timebug in mine. Really helps get stuff. I also run paradox haze it drops my suspends to 2 turna

[@PawzBrownMTG]

This sounds like a fun deck. Baron will you be placing Expropriate in your deck? Lol

[@jimg4585]

Watching Baron's top 10 mana rock video from 2018, he called Worn Powerstone bad and Mana Vault bad without help. What changed?

[@NitpickingNerds]

I think this deck wants to prioritize mana rocks that can tap for two mana by themselves, according to his deck tech from about a year ago. Mana Vault is niche but gets good when it can accelerate you three turns ahead, for example play it on turn 3 and then turn 4 play an eight drop, and this deck has lots of that!

[@jimg4585]

ahh ok, thank you. I really enjoy your content.

[@psychozen7169]

Do not play this against two deck type poliferate and stack's. Otherwise good times

[@NitpickingNerds]

Well actually you can’t proliferate suspended cards time counters because they aren’t permanents or players :D

[@chad7064]

Joe would have the gayest hat ;)

[@larslarsen7982]

gotta dislike this one. promoting the worst magic youtuber is a no go.

[@NitpickingNerds]

What's wrong with the Baron?

[@saffronscursex]

Nitpicking Nerds he's a wana-be professor and it's just flat out cringe.

[@sephyrias883]

@@saffronscursex You mean just because he is "roleplaying" as well for the online personality? Doesn't sound like a good reason to dislike someone.

[@daviddodson1688]

Yea...that dude is a little much for me but I'm sure other people like him

[@Aristocards]

@@saffronscursex While I do enjoy the videos from Tolarian Community College, I actually draw most of my inspiration from Total Biscuit as I used to co-host a gaming podcast with him back around ~2010. He rose in popularity years before The Professor uploaded his first video.
