Deckbuilding 101 / Marchesa | The Command Zone 01

[@AgentPedestrian]

haha! it's really fun to go back and listen to old stuff. "we should call our podcast the command zone" yea... go for it dudes

[@highshelf]

Well, this podcast is cool, wonder if they'll make more episodes

[@curtessilrus2598]

Lol

[@wackzacko]

"Most games don't end with creatures swinging in and attacking people" Fast forward two and a half years and the stats episode reveals that most games end in combat damage

[@BrainPWRS]

I’m a big fan and I just came to look at the start and it’s crazy how far they’ve come

[@thatoneguyshawn]

Watched a multitude of your videos now I'm starting at episode 1!

[@subiskier1]

I think I've watched 100+ episodes now, so wanted to start from the beginning! You guys are machines, love the content. It's awesome seeing your predictions then seeing how accurate they are 6 years later. Mostly you guys nail it!

[@Jaksonbaus]

Great cards with Marchesa: Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch Mikeaus the Unhallowed Grave Betrayal Sidsi, Undead Vizier Dragonlord Sulimgar

[@ShadowFoxHQ]

Wanted to go back and see the beginning of this amazing channel! You guys rock!

[@goatsfluff]

Prophet of Kruphix seems cool! I can't wait to put it in my Kruphix de- Oh.

[@Donnerfell]

Hi guys, Just a quick rule question about wrath-effects. If somebody plays wrath and you have a modular creature and a creature without a +1/+1-Counter out i am pretty sure you can not save the second creature. That's because wrath resolves completly before you get to work on anything else that is on the stack. A lot of things may trigger while you resolve Wrath so dodging it with your commander out trough right staking of the triggers is totally possible, but you shouldnt be able to do what you have explained at 45:30.

[@Donnerfell]

Donnerfell P.S: I played against Echo-Haste-ETB Dudes with this commander. Was kinda amazing xD P.S.S: Just found something else. xD Sadly you can not sac-block somebody with trample to negate all the dmg. The creature would assign the needed dmg to kill all blockers (in this case 0 creatures = 0 dmg) and then deal excees dmg straight to you. It would notice that it was blocked at all. (Except from block-triggers maybe ^^)

[@jeanmarais337]

Number one rule: Have fun.

[@clairedarkstorm8038]

All the way back at the beginning, ready to binge

[@bobu-san7139]

On my way up riding the command zone binge train. I already watch your new stuff just watching from the beginning. My buddy has a marchesa, he needs to take some notes. Thanks for being awesome!

[@ty_sylicus]

Watching this in 2024 for the first time.

[@trentbrown5193]

Just started watching decided to start from the beginning. You guys are awesome

[@tatenewnham1055]

And a legend was born

[@siamsama2983]

These guys have come a long way

[@captianbacon]

so wild how much the format has changed in 6yrs... i miss the t15+ durdle style

[@kylepickreign5224]

Starting to watch all episodes!!!!!

[@Necrow_Productions]

6:55 Gods can't be "destroyed" indestructible *chough*

[@tylerpendergast7899]

Wow look at that . First episode :) you guys have come far.

[@takenbychaunce991]

Uh oh. I’ve started watching ALL the older videos not just game knights

[@ОгњенТодоровић-ш6э]

Mana Drain is pretty good as well, it is a Counter Spell that gives you extra mana in your turn.

[@taronson15]

+Огњен Тодоровић Sure, if you can afford $224

[@DerDarkfire1]

31:20 "don't play this cards". Meanwhile, Gameknights episode 8, 24:42, Cassius stays in the game because of it and later on wins. Hintside, you definitly can play such cards. If you use them in the right way. Obviously, they can be dead cards more often then not, too. But that's the best example, why you still can play it.

[@SilverDragon33Productions]

Graft would be another useful mechanic

[@veronicasmith5832]

Well iv officially watched every episode now I'm back to the beginning lol

[@ZoranBlackRose]

To fix your milling issue its going to require luck to get these two cards but use tramatize then keening stone (i know i didnt spell those right)

[@PooDotStinkPants]

Why don't pirates like playing cards? There's always someone walking across the deck.

[@utopiaoflove]

So did marchesa get stronger when the ruling in tucking a commander changed? Because now you have the choice to put here in the command zone no matter where she goes

[@SpiritualOnslaught]

+utopiaoflove of course she did!!

[@samuraiwarrior87]

+utopiaoflove i think every commander did.

[@anarchangel2204]

hate to be this guy but what is the card for the art at 19:41

[@jacobdachauer4377]

+AnarchAngel No problem. It is Somberwald Sage.

[@KravRage]

Starting from the beginning.

[@jeremiahbachmann3901]

Where did you fellaz get the [what seems to be, at least] high rez images of cards? Most pictures of the cards I see online are sized a bit too small to be able to increase the size without compromising the quality and clarity of the cards on the screen.

[@topilinkala1594]

Go to WOTC site and you'll have archive of wallpapers. I'm quite sure these pictures are from there.

[@Hussalo]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you just sac her in response to tuck or exile?

[@davidrose4750]

You can but you an outlet and the resoures to activate it I should know I play aristocrats

[@brentsheridan7802]

Doesn't the rule for the commander moving to any area other than the command zone say that you can always put him back in the command zone? So "hinder" wouldn't force you to place him in your library right?

[@joshleekwai8895]

Brent Sheridan Well, this was our first episode of the podcast so it came out over two years ago. A few rules have changed since then, including the "Tuck Rule". It used to be you could make someone shuffle their Commander into their deck but they changed the rule in early 2015 to what it is now.

[@brentsheridan7802]

Okay, thanks for clarifying. I'm newish to MTG.

[@tex3301]

So interesting seeing how commander has changed all these years.

[@Chipatola_Chipolata]

Begins at 37:30

[@brockpulling8515]

no more tucking commanders!!

[@utopiaoflove]

Can someone explain to me the block and sac beats trample ruling?

[@joshleekwai8895]

+utopiaoflove It doesn't. This was just a mistake on our part. It is episode one afterall :-)

[@utopiaoflove]

+Josh Lee Kwai haha no worries btw love the rebuild for this deck (sorry not the child of alara build) I love the idea of marchesa as a commander

[@williamwinder3466]

2019?

[@davidrose4750]

October 2019?

[@Necrow_Productions]

9:39 art?

[@CLfag7440]

Blue black Ula-mill for the mill win.

[@___jordi7544]

Hello, the link for the decklist dont works. Can i have your decklist? Thx

[@orangetv8487]

Omg only 48 comments

[@loregasm665]

I play life gain 😭😭😭

[@Jorl64]

2019:We all going to die in 20202 \ 2020:Still alive 2019: crap

[@Aedryn6210]

+1/+1 counters don't erase -1/-1 counters for persist, they both exist so marchesa triggers but persist doesn't

[@joshleekwai8895]

Aedryn6210 This is not true. A -1/-1 and a +1/+1 counter on the same permanent eliminate each other as a state-based action.

[@Mediator2]

First!
