Her plans may yet bear fruit.

[@jerrywhoomst1116]

I love seeing you all over the place.

[@mikegordey2163]

We don’t take the time to say anything unless it’s worth taking a long....time....to say....

[@jujutherabbit8061]

Please do Kithkin tribal next. I don't care if it's any good, but for the love of Lorwyn, I really wanna see a Kithkin deck, even if it is super casual. ... But this video was great though. I really enjoyed the intro! :)

[@rancoredsupes]

WOW I´ve never thought of creating a Treefolk deck until now!

[@benrichardson5662]

I really enjoy the flavorful introduction, and I love the background images because they really help set the tone of the deck and makes the video fun to watch!

[@profhaxable]

I love these videos. I'm pretty new to magic, and these "deck techs" teach me a lot. Keep it up, Thank you (:

[@FatalO2]

As a new magic player I love your guides, it is often the place I first learn about many cards, thank you professor!

[@richardeastwood160]

And that intro is why I love mtg art soooooo much great vid :)

[@zonarian2]

So glad I found this video! My current Commander deck is a Green Treefolk/Saproling Deck. It's the first deck I've built and I've only won with it once due to some early Saproling generation and a lucky 22/22 Fungal Behemoth that led to my opponent forfeiting. Your videos like this are great for card suggestions and comparisons! I love them!

[@AlaskanKomodo]

Thanks professor, I've been wanting to play edh in general and treefolk seem perfect. Thanks, from Seattle, WA

[@lanan101]

Recently started playing Magic and instantly drew towards Golgari colors. I especially love the generals they offer, with Sapling of Colfenor as my main choice. Then I saw this video and was instantly inspired. This is very informative and fun to watch! I'd love to see more!

[@penliauw6091]

thanks for this awsome build proffessor! you always put so much effort into these videos! keep it up!

[@denispellerin2815]

Awesome! thanks for the continued quality in your videos love the music in this video almost as the music in the sliver edh video keep up the great work tcc

[@Fireymonkeyboy]

I love that you did Sapling; I've been waiting for this since discovered your channel via your coverage of Sapling in the "5 Under-rated Commanders" clip. I've been running a similar (more land ramp, less rock, more saprolings / fungi, less tutoring) deck for about a year. Some good ideas here, might have to find room for them.

[@MadHatterFAB]

As somebody who is only just getting into commander, this sounds like a tremendous idea, thanks for uploading this :)

[@coopergraveline4533]

I was inspired by this video when I saw it, first getting back into Magic through EDH. I finally got around to building it a couple months ago. I don't have Worldslayer in my version of the deck, but I have a couple other little tree-ts that I think you'd be proud of.

[@taylort4299]

Love shadowmoor/lorwyn block the best. I love seeing videos showcasing some of the best cards from that block. Wonderful video! :)

[@Lucarioguild7]

I have been putting off making this deck for a while but this gave me the kick i needed to start working towards it again

[@unhipp451]

I've been waiting for a treefolk deck for so long!

[@alexgieder9107]

Amazing video!!! I am a new player to Commander and wanted to build a tribal deck that had Green in it because of the fact that I love to play Green. Anyway, this video has shown me the potential of the Treefolk. So I will use the information within your video to make a version of Treefolk Tribal. Thanks.

[@Rezsha56]

10/10, great video and now another deck I must make.

[@Viscerality]

Please make more of these I love em!

[@dominicsevilla1189]

This was a very interesting build. every deck i have made jas included blue but i was able to wrap my head around this deck way easier than your merfolk video. Might give this tribal deck a shot

[@mysticalpotato447]

Loved the introduction ^^

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Mystical Potato Thanks. It actually took me longer to make the first minute and a half of this video than the rest. Like...a LOT longer.

[@mysticalpotato447]

Tolarian Community College Well, it was worth the time in my opinion! You always do a great job :)

[@politikh]

Mystical Potato +tolarian In-deed! Always great look and feel in those videos. You really think you are in an enchanted/haunted forest with the music, the background art, the animation at the beginning. Great work, Professor!

[@schaldrien]

Professor, i loved the Neruda quote at the beggining. I'm, actually, from Chile, and i'm literature student. Just telling! Loved the video, i'm thinking in making a Sapling deck! Cheers from Chile :D !

[@tenacioustv6835]

This is a great video. Not just because this sounds like an outrageously amazing deck, but the research put into it and education of the Treefolk and its story tied in with the cards (Which makes Magic that much cooler). That introduction was very excellent. These video are top notch, and I honestly consider you The Professor of Magic: The Gathering. btw, where do you find the background info on types of cards like Treefolk to where you can make great introductions like the one you did. And of course be able to build a good deck around it.

[@amacuro]

Amazing and beautiful video!

[@Golnax]

Ooo, this reminds me of my green/white treefolk modern deck. I like it, I like it a lot.

[@marty7905]

Came out on my Birthday, seems really fun to play. The EDH for me

[@ZANZR0]

This was awesome, please sir id like some more

[@brandoncreek5709]

Loved the idea of this deck so much I put together a budget version for about $60! An early Christmas present for myself. ;)

[@ares6037]

I want to play this tribe. Thanks professor.

[@SteelsammyFilms]

"Where once it was always sunny, now it is always night." Philadelphia?

[@michaelphillips7556]

Awesome video. Im new to EDH, though i have bought three of the 2014 commander decks. But, after watching this i think i will like this tribe of treefolks, lol.

[@Murgledoo]

Love this video and this list!

[@thesamuraiman]

This is a beautiful deck. I didn't know I loke Treefolk that much until I saw what they could do. XD

[@thesamuraiman]

**liked

[@ivyoakfernjungletreehugger5740]

Gorgeous trees more please🌲🌴

[@brunocampos4874]

Great Neruda's quote. Greetings from Chile!

[@cruzflores5072]

Built the deck it is amazing thank you for the idea

[@Speetlebeetle]

Finally a commander that doesn't die to removal! How great!!!!!!

[@NecroAsphyxia]

Imma just throw this out there... her and World Slayer are HILARIOUS

[@TheLegalCustodian]

As always a nice deck-tech. ^^

[@v1deogam3r]

Did anybody else notice the eye at 11:22? It creeped me out the first time I saw it.

[@skithee]

I happened to be playing a lot during Lorwyn/Shadowmoor, so my friends and I made Block EDH decks. There's not a lot of acceleration or tutoring in the Mega Block, so it's a little slower, but makes for great slugfests!

[@YasserUM]

Good build ideas. Reminds me of Ravnica with the Black/Green but Treefolk always seemed to be separate from that Guild, like a rogue element of their own that predates it. Keep up the creative yet oddly relevant videos on MTG. P.S. I love a Pablo Neruda quote to start a video as much as the next guy, surely you will be challenged to top that with another poet/author!

[@cosmicbrambleclawv2]

I actually got Sapling IN a commander deck xD now I'm slowly building up treefolk reserves and using this video (and edhrec) as a ref for good stuff to get :D working on a swamp/forest lifesteal/treefolk dual color deck I actually planned the deck before learning about Treefolk, so this helped a ton xD cause Treefolk work with my playstyle very well

[@Nathan-fd6tw]

I run something similar with Thelon for a commander and thallids/elves along with the Treefolk... Got some good ideas from this thanks!

[@salmonking007]

Nature's claim is one of my favorite spot removal cards for artifact/enchantment hate.

[@dragonlordasirlies5520]

Nicely done!!! Another EDH guide... really enlightening. . . . So when will the guide for the dragon-tribal EDH deck be posted? Can't wait for Scion of the Ur-dragon deck 😃

[@umcarainteressante]

This looks so fun to play with :)

[@ZeroBankaiKing]

God I love treefolk so much fun to use :)

[@andrewbedwell8186]

I once got the world slayer to work with Ulamog the Ceaseless Hunger, it was amazing.

[@HeroesandLegendsMTG1]

Cool, I love this deck tech.

[@YOURMOM230]

Time for slimefoot commander! Saperlings and fungai unite!

[@QUAD9s]

I love your EDH build out videos. My Sygg deck has become a monster from your Merfolk video. Any other tribal deck videos in the works?

[@isaachill1613]

What would you recommend to take out to make it at tad cheaper? The price is already extremely reasonable but is there any part of this deck that can be replaced for now?

[@dagosto]

Great video! Actually my first tribal deck was a treefolk Doran. I couldn't replace him because I got the full art promo but Sapling was part of the team. O_o

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

That full art promo is worth quite a lot!

[@DiscoStriker]

JakesFavorites Ah, Doran is NOT useless. You forget. Assault Formation only affects YOUR creatures. If you have an opponent with high attack and low toughness creatures, then you can reverse their switch. Also, Doran is a 5/5 body (basically) for 3 mana. If you own a Treefolk Harbinger (which, if you're going treefolk, you better), then you can use the cheapest tutor in the game to get to him. And when he comes out on turn 3, you'll have a 3/3 and a 5/5. Pretty solid. If you have Orchard Warden, you gain 5 life instantly. In a normal game, that's a quarter of your health. Also, because he's part white, he allows you access to one of the most powerful treefolk in the game: Indomitable Ancients. Also with white is the exile removal. Beyond that, the black allows for a vast array of removal that just destroys your opponents creatures. In short, AF does NOT replace Doran. It's just an alternative. I have been designing a treefolk tribal deck as well, and when AF came out, I was initially annoyed and pissed. But during a shower one day I thought about all of this. I had designed my treefolk deck to include 2 Dorans. Now, when it comes out, I'm going to add 2 AF's. Why? Choices. Because I may only want to boost my creatures using their defence and not my opponents'.

[@DiscoStriker]

JakesFavorites I'm not replacing Doran. Just adding two AFs. I guess that wasn't the best explanation. Also PucaTrade is AMAZING for finding niche cards. I've gotten 2 Dauntless Dourobarks already. I bought 3 Timber Protectors a while back, but didn't have the fourth. I got the final for the playset on Puca. I haven't seen anyone get a Doran on there recently, so there's a chace that he's not on there (which is unfortunate because I need just one more). But as far as the Assault Formations go, the FLAVOR is all wrong. I don't care at all about Khans. I need them trees.

[@DiscoStriker]

JakesFavorites I want to perfect my treefolk deck so that I can later trade/buy into the most rare and beautiful card I can, such as the full art foil promo Dorans. I'm playing against every modern deck I can, which has thus far led me to discover it's poor against mono red or mono white aggro and mill. Besides that, it mostly wins. But I can't figure out any cards to prevent losses against that. Help, professor?

[@DiscoStriker]

JakesFavorites Thanks man. I'll see if I can get my hands on some of those. And congrats on that Doran!

[@dragingavin2988]

Recently I have watched most of your videos and you are the sole reason I got into magic. I've made so many new friends. You are my new favorite KZbinr. Thanks a bunch. A few questions, when is Dragons of Tarkir event deck coming out?is it worth a buy?

[@kbeadle23]

Avoid it if you already have not bought it

[@mr.strider6497]

I just got my hands on a Pernicious Deed today, and was actually about to comb through some interesting G/B EDH decks for inspiration when I spotted this in my sub feed. I'll take that as a sign. Also, the art in the background of this video was particularly neat today, awesome work!

[@leonardohernandez9017]

Neruda FTW =). Love from Chile! :D

[@about50pyros55]

hey prof what would you take out for the assault formation the enchantment that gives but fighting

[@jeromed9750]

Delicious intro!!

[@user-ux4fs2hx5e]

Great video Professor! ,After I watch this video reminds me another indestructible commander. Yes!,Tajic blade of the legion. I really like him but seem like everybody say he's in the weakest combination color, but for me R/W is a manly color. If it possible I would like to see you make video about R/W or Tajic manly deck style. ( sorry about my poor english ) Thanks!

[@mouch641]

i would love to see a all out deck with goblins and elfs i would love to see you come up with edh for both of them

[@ultra_paradise8436]

That dragons of tarkir event deck seems pretty good

[@Soulastest]

arjun the shifting flame should be your next deck study!!

[@resonanteye]

can we get an update now that Colfenor is a card? I've been running abzan treefolk since Doran came out and I would love to see another video about my favorite synergies.

[@Zachary-ro6eg]

Hey professor, could you make a review on the dragons of tarkir event deck? Thanks

[@austinschaller3075]

Currently working on a mono black reanimator with sheoldred thoughts or even a study guide professor?

[@skylarm2068]

Which card's art was shown on the three drops section of this video as the background?

[@chandlerhuffman4571]

What deck boxes do you recommend for EDH professor? I plan to play Treefolk Tribal based on your guide. I would want to get one where I can put some quotes on it.

[@voodoohealen2672]

I really love the creepy opening

[@jacobchesney1558]

Nice deck! Do you have a decklist for SoC Voltron?

[@TQDigitalMod]

How do you feel about caged sun for 1-2 color EDH decks 6 colorless for an artifcat that provides +1/+1 to selected color and one additional mana from land tapping of selected color(that you control ofc)

[@Larssomme]

Great info^^ Keep it upp:D

[@framedwarlock5535]

Could you make an Omnath EDH or Elf tribal edh deck tech ? I just made an Omnath EDH deck and it works very well

[@TheLoneRK9]

Great vid again :D. You've probably already informed your viewers in a previous video but I have a question. Which format do you most play?

[@heytoden]

Thanks Tolarian CC! :D

[@henrymildenstein81]

Whens the deck list coming out love it?

[@gamerpro8854]

This is a great video professor keep up the good work. If you have the time can you do a tribal faerie deck using Oona, Queen of the Fae? Planning to start making tribal EDH decks

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

gamerpro8854 Sure, she's absolutely amazing.

[@AlaskanKomodo]

Wait, why didn't you include the heartwood storyteller?

[@ColinRichardsonMUSIC]

Professor, would you mind making a video about game day? For example how to prepare for it and some deck lists that would actually stand a chance? I was also wondering if game day is actually worth it

[@Hollanderboo13]

Sweet intro!

[@TheTeddyPersons]

Could you please make a deck tech on Meloku the Clouded Mirror. I run him as Illusion tribal and wanna compare notes.

[@higordj1]

Nice deck

[@gameninja44]

Thoughts on vraska the unseen in this deck?

[@daniellesman1956]

Improvements were mentioned in this video, where could you make these improvements?

[@bobbymichealson798]

You said that this is a mid level deck, so what would be the upgrades? Coat of arms?

[@wastelander28]

I have an idea for a deck tech and id like your opinion (commenters you can join in too). With the release of dragons of tarkir I was fascinated about assult formation mostly with the (g)=creature with defender can attack. So I prepose this green white defender. Any thaughts on it?

[@FlyNavy906]

Creakwood Liege and Garruk, Apex Predator good adds to this deck?

[@IvanAguilar101392]

can u do a full deck profile of this deck please

[@MrMegapotatogames]

Could you do one for an elemental EDH deck?

[@tannerderrick9468]

What cards are recommended if money ins"t a problem. Any strict upgrades or includes that would otherwise not be in the deck?

[@omc5213]

New to magic. This deck interests me. Never built or played edh.Are there any sealed products that contain a chunk of this deck or would you have to buy every single?

[@Cam3ronH3i1man]

Can we see your take on Omnath, Locus of Mana EDH?

[@x1teDota]

Great guide. Could you do a soldiers deck video?

[@kiwill33]

I have built this deck as is - currently waiting on the final card :) It's good fun but loses to Prossh regularly - anyway I can improve it Prof?

[@sandiegochicagobro20]

Man, seeing this and TheMagicManSam's Enter the Ninfinite, I think you, him and even Force4Cards with TheManaSource should just have an EDH battle royale and showcase this on each of your channels for us filthy casuals to bask in such awesomeness :)

[@cookie99cookie]

Tolarian Community College, I have listened to, in the past, nearly all of your recommendations for deck boxes, sleeves, binders, pages. You also recommend buying singles, but I can't find a video in which you discuss what you believe to be the best singles market. Hope you read this, thank you

[@highspeedatomicmurph]

What do you think about using Descendant's Path?
