Syr Gwyn - Brawl to Commander Upgrade I The Command Zone I Magic: the Gathering EDH

[@berzerker4598]

Game Knights tribal. How appropriate.

[@T3chedOut]

Probably excluded due to their $40ish budget, but Sword of the Animist also looks great here as equipment-based ramp

[@joshuabarnett88]

Literally came here thinking "there's no way Paradise Mantle isn't on the list" and yet... Here we are. With the 0 cost equip it turns all of your knights into Mana rocks on your main phase in a deck that needs Mana ramp like crazy... Add in the equip at instant speed and your able to respond to damn near anything

[@shilohartisan]

Especially good with Vigilance which a lot of Knights have. Add Reconnaissance and you've got a churning engine.

[@coreyroberson4550]

No Sword of the Animist? You said there wasn't enough ramp, and this totally fits the theme.

[@goosel9347]

Was looking for this. My guess is because that sword is now a $5 card it would push the budget and they mentioned but still, it seems perfect for a Mardu commander deck that cares about equipment.

[@ancientswordrage]

Price?

Agreed! Probably the best equipment that the deck is missing! It's so good for the deck that is worth $5,00 in it.

[@kk_33]

Definitely my first thought watching this. Price wise it’s on par with skullclamp which they included in the Fairy precon

[@matthewtaylor6829]

Hey, if you think it's good for the deck, chuck it in.

[@oseous]

Ever since I started playing magic, I loved the idea of having a sealed, ready-to-play product I can upgrade as I learn. This is great. Maybe you can start a series for other sealed and ready-to-play product upgrade videos too. Keep it up!

[@Alikaoz]

A lackluster precon, but pretty full of potential.

[@FaytVanguard]

side note: this was sort of a lackluster episode in general. But yeah Syr Gwyn is my favorite commander now.

[@ddurst1]

I will agree that the precon sucks but it can be pretty sweet when upgraded. I plan on brewing all weekend with it. going to try to keep it around 200. already have most of the mana base. just need some spicy equipment a little extra ramp and some more lords

[@michaelcassidy5022]

Full of value too. 3 cards are selling for over $25 each (Gwyn, Arcane Signet, Knights' Charge)

[@jackschultz4297]

Helm of the host for no equip cost seems crazy!

[@dalmacietis]

It is. The only problem with this type of shenanigans is that the good equipments cost ~5 to cast and then you still need to play the commander for 6, so that's 2 turns gone :/

[@ecos889]

Especially on the commander effectively double your draw that turn for five yes please. XD

[@ghostlyjester9134]

I love helm of host

[@nathanaelwaters2509]

@@dalmacietis technically but you play helm turn 4 syr Gwyn turn 5 and equip you not have two syr gwyns to double up on the draw

[@seanmurphy3430]

@@dalmacietis It's commander; you can usually afford to spend a turn or two setting up.

[@seanmurphy3430]

One card I really like in this deck is Crackdown Construct. It gets bigger for the turn every time you activate an equip ability, which becomes very relevant when all of your equip abilities are free. Slap a Loxodon Warhammer on that, and now one of your opponents is dead and you have infinite life. Surestrike Trident is also pretty sweet; it basically lets you bypass combat altogether and just hit your opponents directly in the face with all of your knights.

[@gert-janbos3743]

After four years of watching this channel I finally bought my first magic cards and it is this deck. So excited!

[@porci751]

can't wait for the brawl pre-con game knights episode, hope they use these edited versions and play commander, instead of doing the out of the box thing though

[@foxdragoon84]

No chance. That would of course be the much better option, but they're sponsored by WotC, who's trying to push Brawl harder than a pimp pushes a crack whore.

[@Rewwgh]

A man can dream...

[@porci751]

@@foxdragoon84 that's true, but if they use upgraded versions of the brawl decks, it could be really fun as well

[@CR-kr9cs]

What about Trailblazer’s Boots?!?! Why does everyone forget about non basic land walk?....

[@tonydola3232]

Honesty can’t get enough of your content. So yes more videos. That being said, this particular style is very awesome. And well prepaired by you guys

[@cpitts385]

I wish the video was longer and went into more detail on the cards and the full list of cards

[@targetdreamer257]

Definitely, doing a ‘deck tech’ (card recommendations) is great. Though it is specifically turning a brawl deck into a commander deck, the advice is solid. Thank and keep up the good work.

[@shilohartisan]

Reconnaissance!!! A lot of knights have first strike or double strike but even if none of them do, Reconnaissance is super amazing especially in a wider deck strategy.

[@seemlystuff]

I love the mini episodes!!! If I ever don't watch a Command Zone video it's because it's too long. Please keep doing these

[@MRJUSTDIFFERENT]

I was about to be like where are these knights then I went to the upgrade and saw them and was like ohh.... Personally I love knights it was my first modern deck. I built a mono white knight deck and just kept upgrading it. Love the support

[@philiplee8834]

Making a deck for this commander just because I’m a dark souls fan.

[@Cloudliger]

How to Play same!

[@kellcifur6985]

How to Play I expect a decklist! Praise the sun 🌞

[@philiplee8834]

Kelley Frost I unfortunately had to scrap it after changes in our playgroup increasing deck power level, meaning that I’d have to buy the expensive equipment (swords, ect) if I want the deck to have game winning potential. However if I do make a decklist just for fun, I’d definitely give you one! Praise the sun 🌞

[@Cloudliger]

I turned mine into a janky knight tribal with only like 13 or equipment. I will say its not very powerful but its casually fun.

[@philiplee8834]

I was going make a dark souls themed jank deck but I realised no one in my playgroup plays dark souls :p then I tried to make a good deck and my playgroup turned very anti creature and stall-y, mass destruction style of play. Maybe I’ll find a time and a place for Gwyn, lord of ci- I mean hero of ash vale, but now isn’t the time.

[@jayhenry2197]

I appreciate the mini-sodes. I think it's a great format and worth doing again. Assuming your editors don't kill you for it.

[@siegfried1422]

Two cards that I want to run if I manage to get them and the precon, are Embercleave and the Circle of Loyalty; Embercleave is a legendary Equipment with Flash that attaches as soon as it hits the table, and has it's cost if 6 reduced for each creature you currently have attacking. With the Circle having it's similarly high cost reduced for each knight you control; the Circle is an Anthem effect that can create more knights both as an ETB trigger, and as an activated ability for 3W.

[@jaredwallick509]

And if you wanted to add some of the good knights from eldraine as well, that could also be a option. IM SO HYPED!!

[@Deeplight32]

I’m making this deck and I’m focusing on [[Surestrike Trident]] where I beam everyone to death by reequiping a bunch of knights I make

[@ptodd5373]

I really like this format of videos. And thanks for this video it's a great place to start for a new commander player

[@ArticWolfv]

I would love to see Game Knights brawl deck upgrades that you guys listed. I think it would be a ton of fun.

[@MrHerky61]

Whisper silk cloak is a great sub in for the slot for lightning Greeves or equivalent protection equipment. It gives protection but also unblockable .

[@px851]

Bloodforged Battleaxe is one of the biggest powerhouses that can be put into this deck.

[@Deeplight32]

I know we're on budget, but a few cards I really to see. [[SureStrike Trident]] [[Knight Exemplar]] [[Puresteel paladin]] [[Paradise Mantel]] [[Blinding Powder]] [[Call the Bloodline]] [[Righteous conflux]] [[History of Benalia]] [[Order of Midnight]] [[Wintermoor Commander]] [[Inspiring Veteren]] [[Kinsbaile Cavalier]]

[@ecos889]

History of benalia is going out of rotation I get mine for a couple of bucks

[@silenceburns1336]

Mana cost may be high to some at 3wb, but I’d throw Arvad the Cursed in there. +2/+2 to all the other big legendaries sounds good to me. A 3/3 death touch lifelink blocker suits me fine as well (put entangler and bladed pinions on him to make him more annoying)

[@narnol02]

No one suggested Colossus Hammer?¿ That's the first card I thought of. 1 drop, 8 to equip. Gives your creature +10/+10.

[@chevysupreme]

A coworker and I were just talking about this last night, that and blackblade have me stoked for this deck lol

[@MichaelThomas-bq8pb]

The hammer is already in the precon so no need to add it

[@Beefyjesus0]

Already in the deck.

[@narnol02]

Didn't know it was in the precon. Thanks

[@kevinscott8437]

I really enjoyed this series. Each deck appeals to different players, so I think that it’s beneficial to give a little bit of advice for each deck rather than diving fully into one.

[@vernmcfarland3058]

I really liked the minisodes. I am most excited about this commander because the second deck I ever made was warrior tribal and this guy just has that feel. I also have most of the cards I need to support him in a tymna and line slinger equipment deck.

[@lifetimesoccerplaya]

Mini-sodes were great, do more for sure. What would be intresting to see is an entire unedited commander game, even if the video is two parts. would be cool to see what it looks like before the amazing team cleans up the videos

[@Summoneer]

Easily my favorite Eldraine card

[@PhazonOmega]

Syr Gwyn is built to Zerg Rush in 1v1, so I'm not surprised it won't do well in multiplayer EDH. It's not a weak deck for what it was made for. Definitely needs some adjustments for multiplayer, based upon the lack of ramp, or at least card draw.

[@davidfehr6712]

Thanks guys, always informative and fun to watch. Keep up the good work.

[@Giga-lemesh]

I enjoyed the mini-sodes, definitely worth doing for future brawl or commander products

[@KOkami03]

So, basically, Syr Gwyn is a good commander in and of herself, but the deck is poorly constructed?

[@fashdagbadlyplays9145]

No Balan, Wandering Knight? He is perfect for this deck?!

[@seemlystuff]

Gotta say, Gwyn + Leonin Shikari + Sunforger is a dream come true

[@mtgunveiled874]

Game Knights- Any material you put out I really enjoy! I just wish we had a minimum of two Game Knights episodes a week :D. Thanks for entertaining me :D!!!!!!!!

[@avramlevitter6150]

Given the number of artifacts I'd want to have out, I'm definitely adding a Cranial Plating. It might not benefit so much from Syr Gwyn's ability, but it's still going to be all-around good (especially with so many things giving first strike).

[@2099arashiko]

These minisodes were interesting . Makes me more willing to buy these decks, if I can find them. I would add a Whip of Erobos for the life gain and graveyard return for certain moves. It would also help for when Gwyn dies. Let her hit the GY and bring her back then send her to the CZ.

[@novrdd]

I got a "glass canon" feeling from her. She really needs Teferi's Protection.

[@Deris76]

Teferi's protection might be a bit too expensive for the 40$ restriction, but any other mass blink (eerie interlude, as such) can protect your commander. And sine equip cost is 0, you can just re-equip later. Is it as powerful as teferi's protection? For sure not, but it's more budget friendly

[@Anthony.Kunz_]

I recently bought this deck and covered it into commander and made it so much better and my friends hate it

[@JennyXJD]

I would suggest Puresteel Paladin instead of sram even though he is a bit pricey. He is very synergistic with this deck. he is a knight, he draws you cards when you play equipment like Sram, and much like the commander he can make equip costs 0.

[@brunt1984]

I would added the boros partners out of battlebond. The dragon gives all knight's flying and haste! I think this one's my favourite to convert into a edh deck!

[@Ser_Nathor]

Like the mini sodes! Cant wait to pick this deck up and upgrade it

[@nathanvanvranken4812]

I've been thinking about Bruse Tarl in my deck. Give a fully kitted out Gwyn more keywords can give you a nice life cusion because you are Mardu.

[@dillonlee1164]

This is my main deck!! Voltron strats are killer man

[@TheProjectRocket]

Cooler deck than i thought. I have like 4 argentum armors lying around lol.

[@seanmurphy3430]

I noticed Sunforger in the list of upgrades, and I don't think you thought that entirely through. Once you discount the split cards (which all have too high of a total CMC) and the adventure cards (which don't count as instants or sorceries except while they're on the stack; I checked), I believe there's only 3 cards you can search for. I mean, they're not bad cards, but I feel like you would have been better off using that slot for a board wipe or something.

[@kyphur]

You could use Conspiracy to make all your creatures Knights. There's some other cards that can do this also.

[@ironduke6432]

Another great episode guys! Keep it up!🤘

[@piawesome]

The mini episodes were cool but I actually really like the more in depth discussion that comes in the longer format. So while interesting for some of the smaller things I would be a little disappointed to see this replacing the long form content. In general I think the short episodes once in awhile are cool and a good way to change it up but the longer content allows for a more cohesive narrative and more in depth content.

[@Fabiorobertsousa]

Please continue, enjoyed this so much

[@vincentstevens3876]

Yes keep doing the mini episodes!!!!!

[@BYOBando]

I liked the mini-series and would love more bonus mini-series. I will say though, I feel like you guys missed a trick. Your next game knights episode should have been these 4 pre-cons beefed up to 100 card Commander with your 40 card adds from these videos. I get why it has to be the basic pre-cons and be brawl and not commander, but it would have been fun too to see the commander version of the decks get played.

[@ATownAk]

I really enjoy these, thanks guys!

[@lukehanson5428]

I would of suggested balan wandering knight and sword of the animist myself. Surprised those weren't in the 40 recommended

[@chasebalcziunas4289]

You’d think Sword of the Animist would have been THE suggestion.

[@AceTrace75]

My favorite combo with syr Gwyn is worldrend and darksteel plate on Gwyn herself. I just don’t run it because I like friends

[@Gothrein]

Loved this series guys.

[@orzhovmdw]

I've looked all over online, asked MARO himself but went unanswered and read the Fun Booster Project article but can't find out if there is a chance to get Brawl cards, mainly Arcane Signet, in foil? I know that you can get ancillary cards in non-foil. Edit*- In the collector boosters.

[@TheProjectRocket]

Collectors boosters have brawl deck chances yes

[@orzhovmdw]

@@TheProjectRocket I saw the section where it said brawl cards but I'm thinkthey were taking about the mythics and rares and not commons...IIRC it also said non-foil chance for those.

[@EhKnighty]

imagine that, they print an OP 2 drop mana rock that is only available these precons and they sell out!!!! the signet is preselling at north of 30 which is more than i pre-paid for the deck!

[@goldeneskarpador6486]

I'm looking forward to build my new Voltron with this Commander! How good would Sunforger be in it? :D

[@faerie7dragon]

Can't go wrong with some lifelink with Loxodo Warhammer and the like, to go harder on the life for card theme, we'll make our own Phyrexian Arena! With equipment and knights.

[@hellehundt1]

Maybe I just put all my eggs in one basket too much...but I really just see this as a voltron commander. The knight tribal part seems mostly disposable. I like the notion of just ramping up some mana and slapping equips down, then as soon as Syr hits the field pile it all on her and kill someone. And yes, helm of the host seems nuts here.

[@shilohartisan]

Zurgo ain't a knight (until he gets the Sigiled Sword anyway...) but goes really well in this deck anyway.

[@shilohartisan]

Quest for the Holy Relic is way underplayed. Great card in this deck.
