Modern Horizons 3 ALTERNATE COMMANDERS | Coram VS Azlask VS Jyoti VS Cayth

[@chriswhitright9097]

I want thank you all for putting these precons on screen in a lot of variations. I know it takes a ton of work, so thank you for putting out a ton of content in a short time frame. I love the variations. Special shout out to Aaron and the editors.

[@charlied8284]

...no it doesn't lol

[@Xonides]

@@charlied8284I mean, playing the game doesn’t, sure. But staging, filming, editing the video definitely does. Making meaningful changes to each of the decks takes an amount. Maybe the guys on screen don’t do the video editing, but editor man is pushing hard to make this shit happen.

[@beornwagner1]

At 26:35, when Alex wiped the board, Aaron should have gotten an experience counter for each of his colorless creatures dying, so he should have had seven instead of four. Also, at 28:00, when Bill says he can't recast his commander, I think he was thinking its base cost was five instead of four again, because he actually has just enough to do it.

[@irt3hsaint]

I think Bill was saying he "can't" because he had some interaction in hand

[@nickhaight2557]

From the looks of it Bill only has 7 mana, there is a "Tarmogoyf Nest" on the Mountain on the far left of the screen.

[@coffeedudeable]

​@nickhaight2557 yup he had 7

[@sparkfrog777]

Another bit, correct me if I’m wrong(also it had 0 bearing on the game) at 17:39 path of ancestry was tapped for colorless when it cannot be because it can only be tapped for colored mana.

[@MrBsauce12]

Aaron threatening to burn Jans house down made me laugh so hard. Love the content lately guys!

[@enoesiw]

And then the "Jan your house is safe... for now" when Bill made him sac his creature xD

[@frankclosser3901]

The editor's sass on Skyclave was fantastic

[@like17badgers]

wow Graveyard Overdrive looks SOOO much better with Coram at the head getting to Jund Em instead of the Goyf stuff was way way cooler!

[@MTGMuddstah]

I see Jan. I click.

[@A_Rose_OC]

This is one of my favorite channels to watch for commander, hands down. All the people are so charasmatic and there's just something about this pod that always makes me enjoy watching

[@elijahwalker323]

I think the alt commanders are good, but the decks need more adjustment to be good with them at the helm, like blue green needs more land creatures, maybe an awakening the woods. Coram could use some more mill synergy and graveyard recursion stuff, luckily I think he got extremely lucky with card types, being at 8 so quickly was a little crazy. The eldrazi alt needs a lot of scion eldrazi token creations. Overall great episode.

[@SahnigReingeloetet]

Yeah. If you‘re running pure precon the face commanders are optimal, if you‘re planning on upgrading in any way the secondary commanders have much more potential. That rings true for all of these MH3 precons. But to be honest all of the new precons are kind of meh. They need a lot of tinkering in order to be really good, which is unusual for a new set that promised to increase the power level. I feel like Thunder Junction just played smoother.

[@SwagMaster824]

@@SahnigReingeloetetI think they were really pushing the power creep more for modern format where this set is actually power creeping a lot of the stuff modern has going for it. Commander is way different but honestly the decks seem pretty powerful and even from watching the upgraded version on the next video you can already see how strong they can be even just changing 10 cards.

[@SahnigReingeloetet]

@@SwagMaster824 yes definitely, they‘re all worth their money (except for the Eldrazi one, it‘s good but not 100$ good). Graveyard Overdrive is my personal favorite out of the bunch, simply because Jund is such a fun color to play. Playing the deck constructed around Disa is really fun and it can pop off really good simply because of how many big tokens she can make. Pyrogoif is still a cracked card. And if you want something more consistent you can swap her out for Coram and just play constructed Jund good stuff.

[@RybackStun]

Excellent episode as always! This game seemed very different than the others that I've seen so far with these decks so it was neat to see how much a different commander can change up the precons!

[@TsunamicBlaze]

Oh man, 17:43, that evacuation would have been really good. Apex Devastor is still on the stack to resolve all the cascade triggers. He then would have the Devastor on the field, what ever his next 2 cascades are, and opponents would have an empty field

[@bobbysimon1078]

Yeah I was confused why he didn't cast it. He has more mana than everyone else as well so rebuilding is easy.

[@CameronHimlie]

Came here thinking the same thing. It seemed like such an amazing flip for him to just pass

[@casperpedersen223]

Knew I'd love Coram. Think I gotta buy that one. Great stuff as usual!

[@DragoRT200]

I think this is a far more interesting eldrazi strategy than ramp into big stuff from the main commander I like the weird abilities.

[@thenewlollipopjam8248]

Not to mention all of the synergy with the other legendaries that produce experience counters, like Meren of Clan Nel Toth, Ezuri Claw of Progress and Minthara the Merciless.

[@like17badgers]

yeah it seems really interesting, I'd probably cut it from the normal Eldrazi deck for a Titan or ramp, then build it's own deck. something akin to Raggadragga Eldrazi

[@DiabloTommaso]

I ve alredy brewed and aggro token deck. Still monodimentional but fun

[@OromisGlaedr]

@@like17badgers Eldraggadragga? Trying to say that out loud threw me for a loop.

[@like17badgers]

@@OromisGlaedr just drop the D. ElRaddadragga like it's a fantasy "totally not Mayan" temple/city deck is honestly really fun, looking forward to seeing what it can do tuned up to 5 colors with Azlask

[@joedoe7572]

17:42 @Jan why didn't you cast Evacuation when you cascaded into it off the Apex Devastator? You were tied for the fewest amount of creatures, and had enough mana to recast them easily. Also, Apex Devastator would still be on the way onto the battlefield

[@Thunderstorm254]

I love the June alternate commander. Love the content. Keep it up

[@RussellJonesZBT]

JUND! JUND! JUND! These games are great, and your okay series when these come out are also wonderful. Thank you for your hard work!

[@EternalRoxas]

As an eldrazi conscription enjoyer, Aaron's play made me very happy

[@andersongracez1804]

This set is amazing. I love the simic deck

[@patrickmcathey7081]

Simic is best one agreed.

[@DHunt88]

I have the Eldrazi deck preordered from my LGS but after seeing a few vidoes of the decks in play. I think im going to preorder theTricky Terrain deck now too. kinda digging it.

[@starmanda88]

I am very excited for this set and these decks.

[@kylecarson3318]

This content is fantastic. Really leaning on buying one of these because of it

[@connorl0204]

14:13 clearly tarmogoyfs life in the Jundgle.

[@Winn0wed]

Aaron chose violence this morning lmao This was a great video lads Also Jyoti is pronounced Joe Tee for future reference xx

[@daybreak817]

I've been sour on commander for the last few months because of product fatigue, but something about that Jund precon being a love letter to boomer Jund decks of old speaks to my soul. Ordered it, and I think it might have rekindled a bit of the ol' spark for commander. As always, great game, great people, and great editing. (And some great shirts, I love the Hawaiian shirt vibes going on)

[@connorl0204]

1:36 what if i wanted to ask very *im*politely for my lgs to stock gamegenic product? Should i just not ask at all if thats the case?

[@GamegenicSupplies]

We recommend always being kind to your LGS. ;)

Aaron was ON ONE this episode! I absolutely loved it. If I had to guess, you had to edit out a lot of laughter :)

[@geofferiswheel]

Appreciate giving those alternate commanders some love.

[@Spotifist]

Thanks for the video!

[@aenubiis]

Damn i love the spike feeders for having the best ideas

[@Dekaar]

It's funny... EVERYWHERE you see people complaining about graveyard overdrive.. reprint value too low, deck's not consistent, theme is bad... and yet... everywhere you see the deck being played compared to the other decks, it nearly always is either wins or is the biggest oppressive stuff on the board can't wait when it arrives. Might consider upgrading it for coram but I got enough shenanigans here to make Disa work great

[@levis8371]

Already ordered it, probably playing coram tho

[@ElDocBruh]

Man, that early game Anger was brutal.

[@ryanvandale6541]

Coram is my favourite out of these commanders nice to see this video out so quick. WINNIPEG MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️

[@thenewlollipopjam8248]

The Disa deck was the one I was anticipating the most, but it was the greatest disappointment. They didn't print near enough new goyfs for the deck to be functional without Maskwood Nexus or changelings. Coram on the other hand is a card I'm most excited to build around. Being able to swing with a tiny Coram and then casting at instant speed an Entomb to get Lord of Extinction into your graveyard to one shot someone has made me want to play in these colors.

[@BelieMyBurial]

@@thenewlollipopjam8248 the fact that they didn't put the actual Tarmogoyf in the Goyf deck is such a fucking joke. it's not that valuable a reprint anymore!

[@WayneyMTG]

Really cool seeing the alternate commanders in action, think I'm liking the look of this Jund deck, I think the best alternate commander and it's a weird deck, can't go wrong adding a "weird" to the collection

[@alexmcgregor8658]

[@Strawb_milk5]

But the best part is saying them wrong for youtube comments

[@stratavosstuff7575]

Instructions unclear, started refering to Dicks as Richards.

[@Smelloscope]

There should be a small disclaimer on this as the Llurgoyf deck doesn't actually have a Tarmogoyf in it.

[@thenewlollipopjam8248]

Probably the worst part about the whole thing. Maybe attempting to bring the price back up?

[@like17badgers]

yeah that's crazy to me! two things missing from the deck: Tarmogoyf and Battles(for the Goyf count)

[@aenubiis]

Would amazing to see decks made around alt commanders

[@alexduea]

Fantastic game! The banter was perfect

[@taylorjohnson5148]

Alternate commander game hell yeah. Looking forward to see the jund and eldrazi deck do some stuff here

[@maxbodifee3263]

You won't be disappointed

[@kenshinelite]

Commenting for engagement. Did you Crew the vehical every time? It was used as just a creature at least once.

[@taylorjohnson5148]

Can path of ancestry tap for colorless? Don’t think it mattered that much but I’m just curious

[@AStormbl3ssed]

Actually so excited for this set

[@spellbreakerunbound]

36:00 at around this point, if Jan wanted a big flying blocker, he could have cracked Expedition Map for Dark Depths and then copied it with Mirage Mirror. fun little line with this deck, that’s what happens when you put depths into a precon lmao

[@DREADxMAW]

Just found out about yall recently and must say that yall are awesome! Are any of yall building any personal decks out of mh3?

[@lukeflow3159]

What happened at min 19:05 ? Why 2 creatures disappered from the board ? "Eldrazi confluence" killed Tatyova with -0/-6 ok. But Koram...u exile it to remove counters on it, but than u have to put it back on the field

[@MentallyLatent]

Wouldnt casting evacuation be really good for Jan?

[@tobiasm234]

I thought so, too. The Apex Devastator would be on the stack while Evacuation resolves, clearing the board and leaving him a 10/10.

[@MentallyLatent]

@@tobiasm234 + the next cascade hits (tho they were terrible in this case, they coulda been bangers)

[@sleepyracoon4811]

"So much beef... For seemingly nothing !" That's a lot of EDH in a nutshell, right 😁 ? I had a game a few monthes back where a fellow member of my playgroup focused me because I blew up his turn one sol ring during my turn after he played a 2 mana rock followed by a Wayfarer's Bauble. As always, the gameplay is great and the banter between all of you is so funny 😄. Someone already said it but dedicating an entire episode to the Alt commander's precon is a very neat idea. They tend to be left aside while having different yet really different synergies with the deck. I might pick the Boomerang Jund one and only jaming Coram 👀. Really looking forward the Brew episode for this set ! Sorry for this lenghty command and as always, thank you all for this ❤

[@andrehall23]

Big Shout out to my friend Aaron!! Love watching ya play Magic bud!

[@MrSmekldorf]

I think Graveyard Overdrive has proven itself to be the best of the Precons. It can hold its own against all the other decks, face commander or backup commander and is extremely well built for either one.

[@conker1847]

Eldrazi Conscription on the land token wins Aaron the game in my book, especially after they had the back and forth beef on that side of the table.

[@ShadowsArch]

Are Energy Counters considered Counters on the Player, thus forcing him to include Rad Counters?

[@charlied8284]

Alex has a voice for radio.

[@kohlorolo4700]

26:30 Shouldn't have Aaron gotten more experience counters? 3 additional colourless creatures died and should have put him to 7 experience

[@tyleryoakum8350]

Out of curiosity, do you guys randomly choose the decks you play or do you all just pick the one you want to try, and who gets to pick first?

[@alexmcgregor8658]

I dont think we've ever rolled for decks or anything like that mostly it's a cascade of "what are we playing?" "I'll do X" "fine I'm y" type thing. And then eventually Jim wanders back and says exactly "oh I'm on W?" And we shuffle up.

[@ya64]

The jund deck is something alright

[@MegaNerfHerder1]

How did Bill crew the racer if he used the other creatures to attack and not crew?

I used the Accursed Marauder to crew the Racer before sacrificing it to its own trigger!

[@jorgegarciaroman9904]

So Mortivore’s power is 0 when not on the battlefield or am I getting this wrong? Obviously this doesn’t matter in this point in time, but Coram should have been a 2/5 still when it hit Aaron that first time. Just making sure I understand the */* ruling is all. Thanks!

[@TheSpikeFeeders]

Mortivore's power is defined by a characteristic defining ability that functions in all zones. We may have gotten this wrong in the game, it's been awhile since I watched it. - Jim

You got it right, I just thought star power and toughness were always considered 0 when not on the battlefield. Thanks!
