[@ianreible1191]

I pre-ordered Pantlaza. I hope that I aquire the desparked Huatli to make her the Commander instead.

[@Barry_Garza]

Gishath has finally a reached a critical mass of good dinosaurs with LCI where I feel like it may be possible to run Kaheera as a companion, which is exciting in itself.

[@fatpad00]

The only think keeping me from doing that is the cost reducers in XLN/RIX and the new dork in LCI that aren't dinos

[@Gengars_Choice_Pokemon]

Ghalta and Mavren have a deck they can dominate in, finally.

[@KungShu69]

I've been running him with Kaheera before this set. I barely get to play him cause he always slaps the table. My favorite deck tbh.

[@VestigeX3]

i feel like i’d still prefer to run smth like shared animosity or vanquisher’s banner, a 6 mana investment for a +1/+1 anthem and vigi doesn’t seem too worth it even without the deckbuilding restrictions

[@mattdelson3264]

I recently tried swapping Gishath with Pantalza as my Commander and I like her more. Gishath is still in the 99 of course.

[@lirehsa]

Cool trick for Saheeli, you can copy a creature _during_ your opponent's end step, so that it carries over to your turn, and Saheeli can copy it again after your untap step for two copies of a card to attack with

[@quinnmckinney3153]

I would love to see you play a game of Pauper Commander! With how expensive EDH can be these days, I think it’s a really innovative format!

[@joshvon8495]

I second this! I watch all shuffle up and play episodes, Id love a PDH episode

[@DVL_Main]

My one year old son loves watching your videos. Every time you're on, he's focused on the screen. Take that for what you will.

[@quinnmckinney3153]

I feel like the new “Artifact Sacrifice” archetype could be called Antique Store; you’re trying to collect and get rid of lots of artifacts.

[@YetiRawr]

Artifactocrats

[@pandaantlers9094]

“Recycling Plant” or “Trashed Treasures” could work too

[@TheSixthDoctor]

Porcelain Shop if you throw Quintorius in there.

[@Adnidi]

Artisacs?

[@Warigami]

[@OtterGochez]

Best pronouncement on card names I’ve seen on this set, coming from someone who speaks a little Nahuatl. Great job Professor 🎉

[@aerynh6116]

I’ve already spec’ed out a Vito, Fanatic of Aclazotz deck with a treasure theme. While Aristocrats seemed like the obvious choice, I love the consistency you can get with treasure. Throw in Mondrak and Anointed Procession to double token creation, Mondrak even serving as a sac outlet. Thalisse, Revenant Medium, to make some flying bodies. Marionette Master for some pinging along with Mirkwoood Bats and Agent of the Iron Throne. Smother some Tithes, Tax the Monologues and put out a Life Insurance Policy on non token creatures. Vito becomes real consistent surprisingly fast.

[@moody6143]

I built a deck using Tetzin and he's my favorite commander coming out of this set. Play a bunch of double faced artifacts to either cheat the cost of flipping them, or to loop their effects

[@zylanta3577]

Mind sharing a decklist?

[@rorylastname7635]

He's the home I always wanted for my Autobots.

[@fluffy_tcg]

He seems like such a fun buildaround, interested in a decklist if you can provide one!

[@trevorstillson8126]

He may be jank but he's my jank!

[@russellholbert3865]

@@rorylastname7635be careful; ‘transform’ and ‘convert’ are two different keywords. If the text doesn’t say ‘transform’ anywhere in the card text, Golden-Gear Colussus doesn’t affect them.

[@Magicannon_]

Note about the Ojer Axonil pingers: Nettle Drone will not work because it is a colorless creature (it has Devoid). The damage will only be increased for red sources. This also means Chandra, Awakened Inferno emblems doubly do not work as they do not have a color and are not controlled by you.

[@regnsloja]

good to know about the emblems, thanks

[@ctromsky5729]

I love the Mycotyrant so damn much. So cute and a cool design

[@milocoddington9671]

I legit am just getting into MTG. I work in the mold remediation/ IAQ industry so having a fungus archetype was funny as hell to see. Did I build it as my first ever deck? Yes, yes I did

[@noahboes5585]

I am shocked to not see any of the vampire commanders, especially the sacrifice commander.

[@michaelhuerta7469]

which one that doesn't really narrow it down

[@pedritosola7232]

Same. I saw Carmen on the thumbnail and got excited

[@danni3387]

I build Kutzil as a Pauper Commander with an auras theme, it's great. It also has a lot of creatures that etb with +1/+1 counters to get it online early. A lot of people don't realize that while it says one or more creatures, it doesn't say one or more players. This means if you hit all three opponents in one turn, you draw 3 cards

[@oliviersoable]

Kutzil is good for overrun because you can play any broken spells on your turn to win.

[@chrishogan9143]

If you tap a Seat of the Synod and a Great Furnace along with the new Saheeli to float the mana and use her ability, you can target her with the activated ability of a Liquimetal Torque you can then untap everything there with an Unwinding Clock at end of turn since Saheeli would be an artifact as its triggered ability resolves and you could create a copy of something very fair and balanced like a Portal to Phyrexia every single turn in the rotation.

[@TheSixthDoctor]

I'm going to build Xavier Sal, Infested Captain. I'm not sure how I'll go about it, since he's so open ended and simply cares about Proliferate and Tokens, but I couldn't forego this PotC inspired Sultai seadog. Mycotyrant can even go into the 99, since they both are Fungi.

[@envies_ephemeres]

I was literally just wishing that I could run Mycotyrant with Inexorable Tide. This is gross. I bow to you, Sir

[@conerchambers1214]

The direction I’ve been taking with it is using fungus creatures with spore counters to create saproling tokens! Proliferate your spore counters and sacrifice the saprolings to make more spore counters. Win cons can be related to combat damage with beast master ascension or going wide with tokens and +1/+1 counters, the saprolings trample or venom connoisseur + Fynn the Fangbearer since all the saprolings can be made at instant speed. You can also go infinite with intruder alarm, if that’s your thing

[@fluffy_tcg]

Haven't brewed a complete list with him yet cuz theres way too many commanders i want to try on this block, but my primary idea was sagas that generate tokens as a subtheme with cards like spore counter Saprolings as a proliferate counter of choice. You have an extremely disgusting top end with Kiora Bests the Sea God!

[@ian-kr8kc]

Ive brewed a Xavier sal deck, it's a combination of super friends that make tokens to take advantage of Xavier as well as sagas that make tokens to remove lore counters and reuse broken saga effects over and over, as well as an intruder alarm combo

[@TheSixthDoctor]

@@fluffy_tcg"Let's just remove the first lore counter on that one... oops, another 8/8 hexproof Kraken pops out!"

[@jacobworthington]

Working on a Don Andres deck with a lot of card take. Mixing around effects that temporarily steal creatures and letting me grab them from opponents decks and graveyards is a fun combo, and I should be making a good number of treasure tokens to keep the engine going. Not CEDH level but looking forward to seeing how it plays

[@nickatwork]

Zoyowa has big "weird little guy" energy so I am loyal to him

[@etlou5921]

Same here XD !

[@darkrexkigntstone8773]

He is da boi!

[@trevorstillson8126]

Already got my deck list for him based around as many extra triggers as possible, just a great guy all around (with the alt art, main art is so rough)

[@DaudROUS]

Built my first commander deck from scratch using Saheeli. Also, it's heartwarming to see the Prof pronounce the Xs as "sh" sounds as one should. He's done his homework!

[@joshvon8495]

I mostly play modern and pauper(ah the duality of man lol), but I think this is the set that’s going to get me into edh. I’m thinking about getting, and upgrading, the Merfolk precon after seeing you play it on Game Knights Also, excited to see the next shuffle up and play with Maldhoud!

[@jasonhorn5976]

I'm really loved the new admiral brass from this set and the precon. I have not bought the orecon but made a deck around her and man I am having fun with it!

[@fluffy_tcg]

I think the designers realized the biggest issues with Pirate tribal is how playing the good ones the fair way would involve spending an entire turn worth of mana. Brass just cheats them out with a stat boost on top!

[@jasonhorn5976]

@@fluffy_tcg fair point lol

[@deanjones3163]

I was hoping to see Carmen here 😅 she's sooooo good!!! 🥲

[@Schlummigumpf]

True, built a lof of aristocrats around her and she is soo insans

[@felipeborban3337]

True!! She is basically Alesha Power creep version

[@coltonpratt3787]

Haha I was hoping for Don Andres. I thought he was unarguably the coolest commander this set... but then I remembered my bias towards grixis

[@rafaelcastelan6878]

Very cool list, i cant wait to build an Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon deck!

[@Reymysterio619619611]

I was already building a Saheeli EDH deck. Glad to see I'm not the only one liking this card.

[@austinbrown2833]

Bought 9 legends in total from this set to build around( 5 being the mono color gods) pretty pumped!

[@CBuiscuit]

I would say the Merfolk commander is pretty great. Every turn you either grab lands or make all your creatures bigger. Add in the creature that triples explore triggers and the one that makes your counter holding creatures unblockable and you build a massive army of merfolk.

[@guilhermeviana3669]

My god, never thought of Saheeli like this. It was obvious, but woosh above my head. Building with her right now.

[@Ghost26968]

17:22 Personally, I've heard the name "Aristo-scraps" and think it fits the best

[@Xaxares]

For artifact recursion with Saheeli, don't forget Goblin welder and Goblin engineer. Welder is stil a bit pricey though but Engineer can also fetch a low cost artifact for it to return from the graveyard. Like that Ichor wellspring or Burnished Burnished hart or even lands if you play the artifact lands.

[@grimmlydead]

Another diacard synergy card I dont hear people talk about is Bag of Holding. It has amazing potential to reload your hand in the mid to late game.

[@WandererNamedGuy]

Love this set, gave the naya wheel house (boros, selesnya, grul, and naya) such a good bag of bones.

[@signas9896]

I actually got kutzil during the pre release at my local card shop near my job and it was awesome. I also ended up pulling ojer pakpatiq and kaslem that same night which is ridiculous. Hope once i get better and have a collection of cards, I can start brewing a deck around those two.

[@MM-lv7iy]

Thank you prof for mentioning the gods of the set as commanders. I feel like people are leaving them on the side for the 99 (except for the red one), and that’s not really fair to them.

[@Fopenplop]

I mean the white one is the most expensive card in the set right now. Clearly someone's appreciating them.

[@mistmoorex]

Watching this and the glaring absence of Merfolk makes me want to build a Merfolk deck. (I know it's cause the precon merfolk commander is awesome and that's not in LCI. Reading the video explains the video.) Still gonna make a Merfolk deck. Maybe.

[@christrousdale6634]

I run a pretty effective Gishath deck but my secret weapon is the once printed Kindred Boon, which is used to make Gishath indestructible. Then just pack it full of good dinos, dino synergy mana dorks, board wipes, and a few extra tricks, perhaps a polyraptor and a matauding raptor....lol

[@nickhewes6860]

Ojer Kaslem gives you a creature AND a land, not one or the other. I've seen other content creators miss this as well, Professor.

[@Mechanoelle]

The new Saheeli might be my newest commander; I've always loved Aristoscraps

[@LokiHades]

I'm going to be making an orzhov/vampire tribal sacrifice EDH deck with Vito and including lots of stuff that Synergizes like Vraan, Alcatoz and the various new and old artifact and creature generators. I might try to run Vito as 1 of 100 instead and make it a edgar markov mardu deck running bombardment, fling and brion at some point too when I can afford it 😅

[@RadioSilver27]

The blue god goes nuts with adventure cards, letting you cast the creature for free once the card has been rebounded. True and real!

[@buddhathegod]

I built Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might. I won't lie, I wouldn't even consider doing a monored, but I drafted for the first time in ages and got him and thought "well why not". Card-drawal isn't the most fun, but he can really jump at pretty much everyone out of nowhere, and with the right cards in hand you can even get around Teferi's protection, which is always fun.

[@baguetteboi5633]

Building the Indoraptor, Perfect Hybrid, its everything I've wanted to do for a while, big stompy and dragon's approach!

[@CianDelano]

Absolutely love playing Kutzil, I built a deck around her around Cat creatures and several Counter makers, including the new card that is essentially budget Ozolith, Explorer's Cache... mixing a lot of Counter granting Artifacts, Exploring Cats, and a handful of delicious crafters, the deck tends to run rather well =D

[@notimeleft1]

i’ve already got my merfolk built. just waiting on vital cards like seahunter and merrow commerce lol. Hakbal is a beast. i usually stick to cedh games but i can easily enjoy myself with an optimized hakbal. thank you professor for the inspiration.😊

[@STS-qi1qy]

I have really been enjoying Anim Pakal. Mainly in Brawl so far but I think she'll be fun at the table as well. Three opponents will weaken her a fair bit but for a casual game she should be able to keep solid pressure without being OP.

[@paulberry602]

I ran an ojer axonil and did a total of 90 damage on the board in 1 turn. Next turn I won the game by turn 6.

[@anthonymatney6408]

I built Huatli, Poet of Unity. I hear a lot of people online talking about how it is slow. It reads slow, but it plays so consistent it feels fast and inevitable! Trust me people give it a try!

[@angelojohnson9441]

I love the gift idea for Kyle Hill. I get it. Brilliant!

[@CAPTAINCHAOS_]

I know Universes Beyond might not count, but I can’t WAIT to play Jeff Goldblum. I mean Ian Malcolm. Chaos Global Theft Effect? Sign me up yes please. Izzet Anti-Card Draw (ie: Obstinate Familiar)

[@JEL625]

Part of me considers putting together Nekusar and splashing axonil in there. Puts a real clock on the game when your opponents are taking 8+ damage a turn. A single wheel at that size deals 28 damage

[@agentrexx]

The video i was waiting for with this new set, i really want to try to build a deck around both indominous rex and thr gnome commander eith flip cards.

[@isidoreaerys8745]

Gnome Commander, You mean Anim Pakal the Thoudandth Moon? The commander of the Gnomes. Or is there an actual gnome who is a commander.

[@davida.yorkson3397]

I am going to build a Sun Empire themed deck around Huatli, Poet of Unity and my boyfriend is going to build a Saheeli, the Sun's Brilliance deck.

[@Phe0nix1986]

So i built a version of Saheeli but she seems pretty unpopular on edhrec so never expected it to do so well here. Very pleased she got recognised. I think she’s awesome. Im building a bit of artifact sacrifice. Thankfully she makes artifacts so its easy to setup. I want to use her with scholar of the lost trove to really give my opponents a headache. :)

[@Debatra.]

I didn't love the idea of playing heavy discard, but I was too excited to finally have a Legendary Bat so I threw together a Tribal deck for Aclazotz. I just wish he were Orzhov. Also, I've been waiting *years* for a good "play your opponents' decks" commander in Grixis colors, so I immediately started brewing for Don Andres.

[@drakko95]

Speaking of the Articrats deck archetype, Bartolome del Presidio is probably the biggest sleeper hit of the year. We've yet to see a free sac outlet commander in Orzhov since Vish Kal or Teysa, much less one that also sacrifices artifacts for free. The fact that he's 2 mana is also insane, considering all of the effects in white that care about small things in the bin, making him very resilient to removal. I think he's going to be a powerhouse in his own right soon. Apart from him I'm most likely going to build Saheeli or Abuelo.

[@kiwidude1010]

Would nettle drone do 4 damage with Axonil since Axonil specifies that red sources need to deal the damage and nettle drone has devoid?

[@dragonfeets2032]

I'm thinking of building Malcolm, Alluring Siren. Swing in, proliferate his chorus counters, cheat some extra turn spells and maybe some high priority problems for the table.

[@YourTheManNowDawg]

@18:00 Would the token be considered "going to a graveyard" when tokens don't go to the graveyard? Wouldn't you only get the EnterTB trigger and not the ExitTB?

[@seanobrien478]

Nettle Drone is not a red source (it has “devoid”), so its damage output is not increased by Ojer Axonil.

[@MirridonOnslaught]

I'm so pumped to build inti. he looks so damn fast. that much card advantage with a small body?!?! draw into equipment fast, draw into extra damage, discarding to to get two or three quick creatures seems insane

[@lucaslehn2242]

I just built an Inti deck as my first EDH deck ever, and I'm already thinking of ways to upgrade and optimize Inti as a commander. I'm just realizing that I don't actually have that many super cheap creature cards. Obviously, Ragavan Nimble Pilferier and Professional Face-Breaker are really going to take advantage of Inti's first ability that helps push damage through because they create treasures and help us impulse or in Ragavan's case, steal cards. But here's a few cheap creatures that synergize will with Inti: - Rotisserie Elemental, 1 drop with menace that can impulse if it deals damage - Ogre-Held Helm, 2 drop that can be sacrificed to discard hand, then draw 3 - Grenzo, Havoc Raider 2 drop that can Goad a creature or steal an opponents card - Moria Marauder. 1/1 2 drop with double strike that exiles the top card of the library and allows us to cast it until turn. So this could trigger up to two times per turn by itself, and with Inti it gives us 3 cards from exile that we can play from exile. Basically gives us tons of card selection if we want. - Prophetic Flamespeaker. is the same idea as Moria Maruader but it's a 1/3 3 drop with double strike AND trample. Seems strong. - Laelia, the Blade Reforged gets a +1/+1 counter for each card we exile so she has the potential to get huge very fast. - Memory Wurm will let us shock a player every time we cast a spell from exile and force that player to loot AND it gives it a +1/+1 counter Combo those with Wild-Magic Sorcerer that gives the first spell we cast from exile cascade and Nalfeshnee that gives us the ability to copy every spell we cast from exile and things are looking pretty crazy Irraxa, Empress of Mars, Flaming Tyrannosaurus, Keeper of Secrets, Kami of Celebration, Surly Badgersaur, are all must includes in this deck just because they are HUGE payoffs for everything we're doing. Ogre Battlecaster could be good in this deck since it allows to cast spells from the graveyard we may have discarded or simply casted earlier like Jeska's Will for example. Im personally running Trumpeting Carnosaur for the discover and discard synergies and Bonehoard Dracosaur for the card selection and the fact it reliabily makes treasures or 3/1s All in all just a really fun deck and Im really excited to see how it plays

[@mrtempestas4584]

I built an Bartolome and Lurrus aristocrat style deck. Where you pump up Bartolome by scarificing 2Mana artifacts, creatures and its tokens and bring it back with lurrus. Than hit your opponents with commander damage. Did not test it so far though, not sure if it turns out as great as i imagine :D

[@rafaeldasilva2042]

I opened a kutzil and a Vito at the pre-release and although Vito seemed like the best ability to build the deck around, it was easier to work with the cat because its ability is so versatile.

[@jimstewart4929]

Mycotyrant has been a pet project of mine for the last week or so, I have him built in historic brawl as a mono-permanents list that is somehow still pretty good. Ayara is a must, as all of the tokens Tyrant makes are black creatures, and Massacre Girl is just Wrath of God in this deck. I look forward to getting my hands on a paper copy and making Tortured Existence plus Crypt of agadeem to build a huge board to sac to altar of dementia on the follow up

[@VileWarsmith]

I have a question regarding some cards I have in my dinosaur deck. Say I have Wayta, Trainer Prodigy on the field as well as a Marauding Raptor. If another dinosaur enters the battlefield and the raptor damages it, would that trigger marauding raptor an additional time? I don't think it would trigger the first part of the last ability since that was caused by an etb not damage but would it give my raptor +4/+0 rather than +2/+0? I'm very confused by the wording here.
