[@Budhizzle]

MORE JANK! MORE JANK! Anytime I can give one of the random cards in my collection a good home in a deck, even if it's a deck that only plays in Magical Christmas Land, I'm on board!

[@Jarrik73]

While a lot of these are janky as hell, the Mandate of Peace is actually a surprisingly good card that I had never heard of before. I didn't really get into Commander until fairly recently, like 2019 or thereabouts, so this is a fun thing to consider for any deck running White. Thanks, Prof!

[@JuanFelipeCalle]

I thought so too. A usually smart play is to attack first, see if your opponent casts anything, then cast the rest of your stuff in the 2nd main phase. Mandate of Peace punishes that. Your opponent attacks, you cast it, and they can't cast anything after combat. You might have Time Walked them.

[@Azurite_D]

2019 was 3 years ago now lol

[@MrJoakyfran]

I was looking for a fog effect in my mono white deck so this is is amazing

[@carloe1962]

Buying some now... prices might spike due to this video! 😆

[@Jerhevon]

@@carloe1962 Unlikely. Part of the reason for the cheapness is so much of the value of that precon was absorbed up in Dockside Extortionist. And Sevinne had some really sweet cards in it beyond the goblin. I don't have a place for the Mandate currently, but it is a Fog and pseudo-Silence. Even giving yourself a window to safely combo off post-combat. I do love Sevinne's Reclamation out of those decks and wish I had more.

[@thrillhouse4151]

Ugh I want a “Shuffling Matters” commander now.

[@Dragynstone1202]

Not a commander but Soldier of Fortune is always useful jank against vampiric tutors!

[@crazymembrane]

Ob Nixilis, Unshackled hits opponents for ten whenever they search. Its very similar to shuffle matters.

[@kerolokerokerolo]

Here's my ashiok and opposition agent

[@cointoss4825]

I'd only want that if it cared about my opponents shuffling. If it cared about yourself shuffling, then you would obviously build to take advantage of that, and you would be shuffling multiple times every turn. Which sounds like it would make the game last much longer

[@piralos1329]

As others have said, Ob Nixilis is probably your best bet! Landfall abilities in there as well, but being able to use Field of Ruin to dome someone for 10, or turning those shared tutors into huge chunks of burn is incredibly satisfying, I can assure you.

[@sebass827]

I miss jank in commander. Having to slot half your deck with the best of the best cards in your colors makes games super repetitive and boring

[@Frog_Cat_]

That was the true "lightning in a bottle" of EDH. That spark of inspiration when you first heard you could use ANY card in your collection?!? "I just saw this cool card in the bargain bin at my LGS, that might be good in my EDH deck!"

[@garrettredding2837]

I reserve about a third of my deck (of the non land bit) to admitabbly bad pet cards so that doesn't happen as much

[@felixmortem1177]

I run a super sub-par Commander so a lot of my deck ends up being jank

[@Kryptnyt]

@@dbptwg I'd like to see a Legacy version of Commander, maybe not exactly all the Legacy bans, but bans with the same consideration as the Legacy banlist. Even just having people agree to not run sol ring and mana crypt probably makes games more fun

[@Flailkerrin]

I've just made my peace with being bad at winning, better at fun.

[@zackerychapman7193]

The Mirari Conjecture is a card I always love playing. It's a Saga that returns an instance and sorcery to your hand and then gives you twin cast. It's 0.30 and is a lot of fun in my wizard deck

[@Jerhevon]

Great card. Similarly Mending of Dominaria. Both giving value in the first two chapters, then setting up a devastating chapter three.

[@jul5184]

I expected the first card to be "Holy Day", the real white Fog🤔. But the Jank I'd recommend would be "Hunted Horror" because You are encouraged to do some politcs early or team up against the Archenemy later in the game.

[@iamgoingtodeckyoutwo5966]

Respite on the isocron scepter

[@MelonGator]

My favorite jank card to use is Tsabo's Web, a 2 mana artifact from Invasion that draws you a card when it enters and prevents utility lands from untapping. I usually flicker it in my brago deck for more card draw.

[@tonyrosetti2738]

We need more Commander content like this.

[@MrBagelz]

Ah Prof, I love when you get snarky. I also love when you do endings where you freeze for the credits but then throw more in. Favorite was when you showed off the Foretell Commander Pre-Con. That end where you pretend to freeze but keep saying "Play the Foretell deck it's really good." Was hilarious.

[@DDNEV]

Love this video. I've gone out of my way to make commanders my playgroup hasn't seen yet. Years of Muldrotha, tatyova, yarok, Urza, etc. I just got tired of all the games feeling the same. Now i'm building a ton of budget commanders and going out of my way to NOT use cultivate, Kodamas reach, Cyclonic Reach, Demonic Tutor, etc.

[@jakebennett9130]

build tolsimir, friend to wolves. It's an amazing fight commander, and you can bring back banding as there are 2 wolves that have banding, and a reserve list card that makes 1/1 wolves with "bands with other wolves of the hunt" there's also the helm of chatzuk and baton of morale to give others banding. I like to use this with things that give my wolves death touch for exmaple, so that commander hits face, or opp loses a creature. Feed the pact and wolfbriar elemental are amazing generators of fight triggers, because tolsimir is a selesnya wolves tribal fight commander with incidental lifegain.

[@CaptainVryce]

If you need some weird mono blue control no one has heard of; Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor is really cool, and the constant tap lockout is salty as hell if that's what you're into.

[@DDNEV]

@@CaptainVryce THAT'S THE COOLEST CARD EVER TY

[@ROMANTIKILLER2]

@@jakebennett9130 Thumbs up because I read the word "banding" in your suggestion.

[@xerothedarkstar]

I only build with what I pull cracking packs, with the exception of my Zegana Counters Matter which I'm trying to get banned in my playgroup. It's led to some interestingly unique decks. I was able to build a Mogis Gobs and Demons deck that focused on creature abilities to get around my friends mono blue control.

[@bgstilts1675]

Aetherize. Got one out of an old commander precon and have used it in every blue commander deck. No one expects it, and it can be such a blowout at times. And as of writing this comment it sits around 70 cents on TCG.

[@shawntucker2739]

I also think that this needs to be an ongoing series, this is all sorts of fun.

[@stealth_meister4939]

My favorite Jank is tied between two cards that interact with each other and one card by itself. The two cards are Warped Devotion and Worldpurge. Warped Devotion makes players discard a card every time something is bounced to their hand. Worldpurge bounces everything all players own (lands included) to their hand and makes them choose seven cards, then shuffle the rest into their library. After Worldpurge resolves and you go down to seven cards, Warped Devotion triggers for every card that was bounced, effectively making each player discard their hand if this was done late game. This pretty much restarts the game. The other card is Soulscour. Soulscour costs 7 generic and 3 white. It destroy all non artifact permanents, lands included. I run it in my mono white artifact deck. Was in an 8 player pod and I had over 15 mana with a Darksteel Juggernaught and Planar Portal out. Someone complained that the game was taking too long and so I portaled for Soulscour, cast it, and made everyone concede. It’s personally my favorite pet card in artifact decks.

[@maidenless_tarnished]

[@e-tier_hippo]

Trench Wurm is one of my favorite jank cards. There are so many effect lands and powerful nonbasics, there is always some use. Plus as a 3/3 it can survive stuff like Elesh Norn and Massacre Wurm.

[@EliyaSelhub]

[@styfen]

Mandate of Peace can also be used as a second Silence in your deck to protect you while you combo win post combat. Null Chamber is worth getting onto this series if it comes back.

[@gedtheflayer]

My favorite Commander jank is my Syr Gwyn deck which focuses on getting out Bludgeon Brawl. The rule of thumb for lands in Commander is 40 lands, minus one for each two sources of ramp you have, and this deck has so much artifact ramp I only run 25 lands (all basics minus Command Tower and Rogue's Passage). Signets, diamonds, lockets, cluestones? We got em. I run Hedron Archive AND Sisay's Ring AND Ur-Golem's Eye. I ramp so hard that I added Ghirapur Orrery as a card draw engine because of how often I'd dump my hand. Then it's just a matter of getting out Syr Gwyn and maybe a hasty/evasive Knight accomplice, playing Bludgeon Brawl or pulling it and Spectra Ward with Plea for Guidance, and punching someone to death with a fist full of mana rocks. Bonus points if you use Liquimetal Torque to turn Bludgeon Brawl into an artifact, equip it, and punch them in the face with the concept of punching them in the face. You can put the whole thing together for less than the price of a precon, and it's absolutely worth it.

I love using cards with extremely high mana value that people don’t often put in their decks because of some it’s “too slow” excuse. Profane transfusion, reshape the earth, apex devastator, among others. They all have places in my decks just because of how fun the cards can be to play.

Deadbridge Chant /Enchantment/ (4 generic+G+B): Mill 10 cards, At the Beginning of your Upkeep, choose a card at random from your graveyard. If it's creature card, put it onto the battlefield. If not, put it into your hand. Basically a backup commander that cheats in creatures and draws cards in the midgame. Easy to keep the graveyard filled with most green/Black decks. And the card is under a dollar. With the usual graveyard recursion that happens in Golgari and Sultai Commander decks, I love adding the Deadbridge Chant!

[@michaelmazzone6223]

😆 brilliant vid prof. Never saw this one coming. Jank, can be so much fun. It's really rewarding when / if you can make it work. I think it's the reactions at the table when you pull off something like that. Awkward laughter at the ridiculousness tinged with disbelief that you made it work. It's the best. Really playing to have fun and not so much to win. It's all right for a bit until you haven't won a game for a long while. Then it's time to unleash a more powerful deck, just to remind everyone you can be serious.....😋

[@ROMANTIKILLER2]

Cool video, it reminded me of when EDH was about creativity and try to make old cards in your collections work somehow, before it turned into running all the must-play staples and made for Commander cards. The most fun I have in deckbuilding is usually to pick up that weird uncommon or janky rare from sets like Mirage, Tempest, the Dark and see what comes out of it. Usually nothing, but still... When I saw Adamaro, I immediately thought of another card that I love to run to punish greedy opponents that love to draw a lot of card, namely Multani, Maro Sorcerer: it's an Urza block card so it's not as cheap, but still very affordable, especially a played one.

[@zlink88]

I like running Nightmare Lash in my Marrow Gnawer deck. Sometimes someone will play a Urborg and that just makes it more fun for me.

[@AzuriteCoast]

You can jank your way into a boardwipe in Red using Krenko, Mob Boss as your commander and by playing Goblin Assassin. Each goblin that comes into play with Goblin Assassin alive forces all players to flip a coin, and on heads they sacrifice a creature. Now, when you generate 16 goblins in one turn with Krenko...

I use some jank cards in my Callaphe mono blue devotion deck. For instance, "Awesome presence" is a cheap mana enchantment to make my commander less likely to be blocked. "Puppet master" boosts her STR by 3 while making subpar recursion. "Crown of the ages" or "Enchantment Alteration" let me move my defending or steal enchantments around. And so on. Love this deck. I even included Storm Crow at some point for the punt totally intended.

[@NoDanIsAnIsland1080]

For those intrigued by Memoricide, Sadistic Sacrament is a similar card that is probably a little better suited to Commander (though its {B}{B}{B} cost might prove more difficult for decks outside of mono-black). For three black mana, you can search your target's library (though not hand or graveyard) for any three cards and exile them. This also gets around having to name a card beforehand against decks you aren't familiar with (though you might not recognize the key cards to exile, depending on the deck). And you can kick the spell for a ridiculous {7} to exile 15 cards instead. I haven't run it in a long time, but it can be pretty debilitating against combo-oriented decks (or any deck if you pay the Kicker cost). It's a little more expensive than Memoricide ($2.99 on Card Kingdom at the moment), but it might be worth a look.

[@FhtagnCthulhu]

Always play jank! I am gonna recommend the $0.25 'Restore'. Put a land onto the battlefield from any graveyard for 1G. Get another fetch? Get an opponent's fetch? Utility lands from the graveyard player?

Journeyer's kite is a fun one. If you draw a land, keep on curve; if you miss, just spend your entire early-game turn searching up a drop to keep from falling behind lol Sun droplet is a great way to keep your head above water in a 4-player game. It's also fantastic when paired with above kite, since it buys you a ton of time against chipping weenies lol the amount of games I copied the droplet to have 3 or 4 in play at once is delightful =D Another recommendation would be infiltrator's lens. Have a creature with a juicy on-hit effect, but people keep blocking your hopes and dreams? This is the solution you've been looking for! Hand it off to something annoying, like a blue creature that can swap it's power and toughness at the drop of a hat, and really force them to take their fate in their hands lol I'd say it works best on things like the absurdly THICC crab leviathan Charix, or infect creatures, since those are *spooooooky*

[@Flailkerrin]

All about that jank. Always here for you shining lights on lesser known cards! Mandate of Peace, seems genuinely pretty sneaky, fog is nice, but no opponent spells the rest of your turn can be real handy. Cosi's Trickster, subtle cousin to your Managorger, makes me want to build a miserable deck that has everyone shuffling four times each turn. Memoricide, I kinda hate meta-decks, and anytime I can correctly name a card to cut off bland combos makes me all warm and fuzzy. Adamaro! Needs no introduction, love this odd fella. Hum of the Radix, huh, yeah, not one I know...not sure I want to get to know it. Aether Rift, looks like great dumb fun! It's not exactly obscure, it's literally the card youtube shows below your video inviting me to browse MtG content...but I also never see it played; Spirit Link - It will never not be a delight to spend one mana to neuter an opponent's big stomper from ever hurting you, and healing you whenever they hit somebody else.

My favorite jank card is Farsight Mask from original mirrodin. I put it in most of my jank decks because it draws a decent amount of cards while functioning as a pseudo-ghostly prison. If it's only a few points of damage, people will often send the damage somewhere else so I don't draw more cards. Jank at its finest!

[@draketheduelist]

Lazotep Plating, a.k.a. Blue Heroic Intervention, has got to be one of my favorite slept-on commons in the game. I'm also somewhat fond of Minion's Return and Bolt Bend (the latter especially now that Deflecting Swat is just as expensive as Fierce Guardianship) as ways to inexpensively guard against commander assassination. Speaking of commander assassination, though it wasn't even a highlight of the video, Bloodfire Infusion looks hilarious. I'm a strong believer that, if you can't _protect_ your commander, at least you can lace it with dynamite. 😈 For my Korvold deck specifically (or really anything that runs an Aristocrat package with red access), Chandra Acolyte of Flame is my secret ace in the hole. For just 3 mana, you can guarantee not one, but _two_ permanent sacrifices a turn by doing nothing but popping off her Elemental token generation and ending the turn, sacrificing both tokens at the End Step. Not bad for $0.80.

Similar to Cosi's Trickster, Psychogenic Probe deals 2 damage to a player whenever they shuffle their library for any reason. This isn't amazing, but if you are in a red deck looking to slam damage consistently, that could really add up! Especially if you are running Torbran ;) And best of all, it's only 27 cents! Totally in line with the video

psychogenic probe, widespread panic, and soldier of fortune - hyper annoying deck

My favorite jank tech used to be Mana Severance but that one seems to have actually caught on

[@tbonehavoc]

The intro and the promo are great! 😂😂

[@TransformersBoss]

My favorite is Delaying Shield. Most people know about Solemnity and how it Pillow Forts with Phyrexian Unlife and Decree of Silence, but with Delaying Shield your Solemnity OR Unlife become pillow forts as well!

Quintorius is my favorite Janky commander. Running a theme of discard, flashback, gravehand and spirits is real fun

[@Zaxophone32]

I need Cosi's Trickster for my Toxrill deck. I'm running Infernal Genesis and have a sub theme of fatesealing. One of my favorite ways to do this is Psychic Surgery so I have a lot of ways to make my opponents shuffel their decks (all of my graveyard hate just shuffles it back into the deck, etc...)

Holy carp that may be my favorite KZbin intro ever

[@Eiyaa90]

when i first started EDH, i had Hum of the Radix and Aether Rift in my Naya deck. Discarding stuff like Darksteel Colossus (yes this was before Blightsteel) was always a good time

Jank decks are my favorite! I always love seeing obscure cards do cool things.

Fave Jank piece: Planar Guide a 1/1 for W, with the ability to pay 3W, sac guide and blink all your creatures. I use it in reaper king to blink all my scarecrows and blow up a ton of permanents

[@PhazonOmega]

Knowledge Pool, Possibility Storm, Share the Spoils, Valakut Awakening: All of these are fun to mess up the way the table plays while also giving everyone a new way to play. And they're all (or mostly?) cheap.

I actually ran an Adamaro commander deck years ago that got Adamaro out with some buff or evasion and then went the mass land destruction route. It was surprisingly decent.

Hunted Wumpus in Esix, Fractal Bloom! It’s how you enable your own copy engine when your opponents have nothing interesting out. Then pop your Snake Basket and go to town!

I use memoricide as a silver bullet in a number of decks. Playing a mill deck and up against eldrazi.. remove those shuffle Titans before they can put a stop to your plans. Going up against a known combo deck? Good luck finding your combo piece before I do. The added bonus of hosing apostle/rat/petitioner decks is icing on the cake.
