The Other 99, Ep 1: Azusa Deck Tech

[@AstridCeleste96]

Amazing videos! Very in depth, looking forward to watching the rest and more as they are released.

[@Ryan-zz2pj]

Wow great vid from 8 years ago!! Very informative even today. Thanks for helping me out together my deck

[@TopAndGoProductions]

Its really awesome to hear you say that. Stories like that are an inspiration to us!

[@brainst0rmVideo]

Sir, your vids are great. Very clear explanation and I like a lots the hints. Keep the good work!

[@jdawgg904]

Last Sunday I got a chance to play against Azusa after watching your video.The deck had a lot of the same cards, tutoring up Rofellos on the second turn.It was doing crazy things for the first 6 turns,dictating how the rest of table viewed the player.He had a lot of fun initially, but it painted a huge target on his back and led to numerous consensual wrath effects to lock him out.He raged and left the store shortly after. The point is, if you like huge targets placed on your back, play Asuza.

Greater Good + Ulamog/Acidic Slime/Mold Shambler/Beast Within + Rude Awakening = Infinite Permanent Destruction I usually go for land with this combo in my deck mono-green (which is Vorinclex, not Azusa), and a lot of people don't see it coming typically. Who would figure a mono-green deck could go infinite?! Loved the deck tech, hope to see more!

[@TopAndGoProductions]

@DJDorianGray Thank you! we most certainly will have more deck techs up soon and maybe some other EDH/Commander related topics to talk about too.

[@petrus_ierp]

Verry good video, I love the gameplay part in stages. You should do more Deck Tech. I would love an azami or baral deck tech. Just subed.

[@TopAndGoProductions]

@RaijinCaijun Interesting combo :) How is Vorinclex as a general btw? Ive wanted to try him

[@TopAndGoProductions]

@anrchstpunk1 Thanks I appreciate it man :) Boseiju would be a pretty good idea... probably should pull out a forest for that :)

[@TopAndGoProductions]

Some of the cards are expensive, but you could find cheaper, budget friendly cards to fill the slots instead. Mono Green is fairly cheap to build and not too hard to pilot. Azusa is REALLY good but another good general that is great on a budget is Kamhal, Fist of Krosa. You can just play a bunch of cool creatures and swing. If you need help with it, send me a PM on KZbin.

[@MonCatSynch]

Thank you so much! I'm sure that my friend would really appreciate this.

[@2012Dragunity]

TopAndGoProductions is there going to be a updated deck profile for Azusa Deck anytime soon.

[@nikotinzero]

amazing deck!!!! I am also currently building an azusa deck myself. Do you have the current decklist for this one? any changes? especially with the addition of the new commander cards like "homeward path", will this card be better than Miren, the moaning well and high market for this deck?

[@TopAndGoProductions]

Well the numbers in the video don't count the general, and if you add all the numbers up it seems like there is a card missing, but I may have just miscounted and put up the wrong numbers at some point.

[@trentsims]

My friend built one of these decks but he ran a few less lands and ran mana boosters like Gauntlet of Power, Caged Sun, etc. It worked great and ended up making like 6mana per land tap alot of the time.

[@FixYoSelf]

Super late comment I know, but what do you think about Patron of the Orochi? His snake offering ability is worthless imo but the ability to use all of your lands TWICE and still attack with him is bonkers! I use Azusa in the deck and it's loosely a multiple land drop deck (like this one).

[@TopAndGoProductions]

Put the list link in the description for ya. Sorry about the mix up

[@TopAndGoProductions]

@NineBreakertwo I disagree. I think that there are a few definite staples to EDH decks, but not every deck plays them. For example, I just got done building a Zo-Zu the Punisher deck that has so much digging power with Wheel of Fortune, Wheel of Fate, etc. that you don't actually play Sensei's Divining Top, which is considered a must include. EDH decks don't have to be the same, even if you want to make it good. It just depends on your creativity

[@TopAndGoProductions]

Emrakul is banned, unfortunately. Brionne doesn't like Vorinclex very much and the current build does play Liege of the Tangle.

[@samuraiwarrior87]

so what changes to this deck have occured over the years since we now have cards like thragtusk and prime time is banned in edh?

[@TopAndGoProductions]

@BaneslayerAngel95 Thank you so much!!

[@makeit2able]

Any chance u could make a video with the updated list?

[@NeonOrangeRhino]

this is great. but can i recommend ant queen? its so redicolous in this deck!

[@TopAndGoProductions]

(Brionne) I do still have the deck, and if you want to shoot us a message here or on Facebook I'd be happy to help you out.

[@OODZUTSU]

No Dungrove? or Howl of the Night Pack?

[@Acanuckian]

I'm definatly making this deck just putting in an exploration I have a huge budget so is there anything you would switch out for anything in this deck cause i mean just like natural order or something is fun in itself

[@MonCatSynch]

How much would it cost to make this deck? My friend wants to get into EDH but he doesn't like any of the COMMANDER Pre-Cons so we went online to find him a general that he did like. Once he felt comfortable deciding that he would want to play Asuza, we went online searching for ideas. Then, we came across this video. Is this deck considered expensive for an EDH deck? Is it considered a difficult deck to play? He has only been playing magic since Dark Ascension. I don't know EDH that well.

[@KasaiAisu1]

So you build Zur the Enchanter the same way you'd build Sen Triplets then?

[@ximitio]

I feel like omnath + trample could be so good with this... and since you'll have so much lands, why not living lands ? its like kahmal, but you don't need to pay G to use it

[@Tedurbin202]

Looking back at this video, it seems like an eternity has passed since I first watched it. While I am not fond of green in magic, I understand that playing mono-colored decks have their weaknesses that are hard to overcome. When I found this video, it gave me some good ideas on how overcome my weaknesses in my Phage, the Untouchable deck. So, what I'm trying to say is, thanks for giving me the inspiration.

[@Bionitech]

I'd love to see a Karn deck tech.

[@reyesryanmjaube]

the decklist link does not work...

[@Bitsinator]

i ran an asuza are a wurm generator for ages..... then they printed land fall then she became totally broken.... can anyone say infinte 4/4 trampleing beast tokens?

[@ImPhillip]

Can you pls post the deck list :D?

[@robinma4004]

How much would this whole deck cost approx?

[@pokojnilacmrtvac]

the name of the song please

[@1122334455667700]

sounds nice to have budget :(,you could add the aeons thorn i guess?

[@nomakym]

or dungrove elder, it with a loxodon warhammer is a beast

[@SlaveMonkey0072]

It's in the description.

[@finalflameKorisky]

I've done genesis wave for 42. That was fun

[@RaijinCaijun]

@TopAndGoProductions I like him a lot! He ramps faster than Omnath without drawing quite as much hate =D And I like to run more fatties than Azusa's massive amount of land allows =D

[@kingyoung6572]

add omnath (green one) and seed born muse

[@MikesUltimatum]

Too bad there's no black. I want to be able to run one of my old favorites: Altar of Shadows.

[@RobertoftheNerds]

"Uhzoosah" "Steel Hallkite" "Soul Ring"

[@nomakym]

if its missing 1 card add a wurmcoil engine, they never suck

[@lvlidnight3clipse]

Vorinclex may be a god of a card, but when played in real EDH 4-6 player, he WILL be destroyed before you ever get to use your land, and it will gain you a world of hate. There are other, less hateful ways of getting more mana (Doubling Cube, Caged Sun, Overflowing Chalice, and my personal favorite = Mana Reflection) that you may get to keep with no hate until you use them for dirty things... but if you've got a good deck those dirty things = Killing the biggest threat on the board.

[@WatermelonCarver]

Needs omnath.

[@Acanuckian]

Exploration? hell even Explore?

[@Nightwing690]

I'm sorry, but I still think Darksteel Colossus is bad ass

[@NineBreakertwo]

It is definitely Commander now and not EDH anymore. It turned into a legit format and every deck became the same depending on which color your playing, with the exception of sometimes the general and half a dozen of the cards. -_-

[@chrsbmmr]

umm maybe not cast phage ever...

[@vamplord1994]

Mr Robot is still cooler :p

[@Tedurbin202]

There are ways to cast Phage, the Untouchable from the command zone without her ability nuking you. If you have platinum angel or torpor orb then the triggered ability will pretty much not affect you. I'm particularly fond of Sundial of the Infinite. You cast Phage, she attempts to touch you, and you use the dial in response to the trigger to end your turn. There's also withering boon and thrull wizard, but I'm not fond of those.

[@Srewtheshadow]

No Vorinclex or Liege of the Tangle or Emrakul? Or were those not in print at this vid's date or illegal???? ~is ignorant of edh rules~

[@Srewtheshadow]

I was afraid of that *Tear* Vorinclex is a GOD of a card! Once he hits the field people shit themselves and scurry to get rid of him XD Plus I like him cause he makes my Primordial Hydra really big :3 I like Primordial Hydra. And I thought so, since 10 8/8s is like... Amazing.
