Vampiric Bloodline Upgrades | Strefan Commander [Innistrad: Crimson Vow Precon] Budget & Bling

[@FilthyOdds]

I'm going BONKERS over how many people and websites are saying Strefan can reanimate...

[@andrewpaul8732]

Noticed that too. Says right on the card "from your hand" 😂

[@holdyourfire74]

Strefan gets vampires from your hand not the graveyard, but I love the artifact token theme here! Improvise is such a good but underused mechanic. Thanks!!

[@lambrosmazis2301]

he is a whatever content producer ...if even he creates his videos..

[@ChrisLovesComics]

@@lambrosmazis2301 agreed

[@stevegoudreau7973]

This is the second or third content creator ive seen that refernce stefan as a recursion card...thought i was going nuts

[@SPACEB0YZER0]

Yeah I’ve reread it over and over to make sure…

[@pap314]

Reading the card explains the card XD

[@bobbyz5443]

Id add Nadier’s Nightblade. Very under the radar black uncommon elf warrior from Commander Legends

[@PUDRETE919]

Oni-Cult Anvil is also great addition, sac a blood token, make a construct and end of turn make 3 new blood tokens

[@bobbyz5443]

These are the only James and Justin videos I watch. Keep up the good work Julius!

[@djrmarketing598]

Noticed also on the Voldaren Estate land, there's one other synergy - you can Tap. Pay 1 Life and get 1 mana of any color. The advantage here with Strefan is that at the end step, you lost life therefore create Blood Token which then becomes tappable Mana with Improvise. That's almost like free ramp every single turn you have.

The background music at first hearing it reminded me of cyberpunk music.

[@GeekandGlory]

Added most of the budget cards to my deck already because I like the idea of going into a pain/artifacts matter style deck. Also added a DarkSteel Juggernaut for a big buff dude and Squee to help get the free card draw with the artifact tokens. I look forward to people expecting Vampire Tribal and instead get Vampire Artifact Pain!

[@rodrigomarquez9335]

Which squee is it that gets u card draw for artifacts?

[@andrewpaul8732]

No cards that ping all players or even all opponents. And filling your deck with dragons and demons doesn't really fit the motif :/ and why do you think he reanimates?

[@Maccabeus87]

Unstable Obelisk is a Wizards precon staple. They like it almost as much as Evolving Wilds.

[@Fighting_irish493]

I just think the OG Edgar will always be the best vampire tribal commander I know Edgar is super expensive but I was lucky when Edgar came out I bought a few copies of the deck so for me he is just way better

[@poofypeanut0221]

I don’t think any vampire commander will be more powerful necessarily. Gavin has already stated he regrets making Wdgar the way he is. However I think eventually we can get 1 that’s more interesting while still being strong. Just a little out of the box thinking. I’m not sure we got that in Crimson Vow

[@Fighting_irish493]

@@poofypeanut0221 well here’s the thing I understand that Edgar’s Eminence ability’s strong but here the thing I actually think that they need to make more higher cost commanders like this mana wise in that they can give you some sort of value from the beginning because as it stands right now most people prefer lower costing commanders mana wise so that they can cast their commanders and if we’ll they die at lest they can re-cast their commanders were if your commander is let’s say a 8-9 drop you could be dead before you could even cast your commander or if your commander dies basically just makes it un-castable so I feel like they need to make higher costed commanders an ability that can may give them some value at the beginning of the game as well but these are just my opinions

[@jamesgratz4771]

The herald of anguish is a great card in my esper artifact deck but you’re right he fits well in this deck with all the blood vials

[@dustinburns4550]

Ugh I still haven't pre ordered my 2 crimson vow commander decks, I usually try to get both and open one and keep one sealed......this is probably the one I will be opening, leaving the Spirit one Sealed

[@zero_linez]

I put in exquisite blood and sanguine bond and Vito gonna try and add a demonic tutor for a nice little win con and some more drain

[@PawzBrownMTG]

This was a great video Joel. Very informative ty

[@paulinof2]

I love your videos but You very much lost me when you kept referring to Stefan as recursion. Your strategy is null and avoid unfortunately due to not even getting what the card does correctly. Would appreciate a re do with an assessment as Stefan with his correct ability.

[@AbyssArray]

I think Imposing Grandeur would work okay if you had the highest upside from the wheel.. which means some combination of having the highest CMC commander, having the least cards in hand and opponent's hand size. For me, the opponent gets to choose makes it less desirable than Reforge the Soul (same CMC, always wheels for 7, chance for Miracle, doesn't give a choice for your opponent), and that's not a card that I consider playing in the first place.

[@DuxBellorum13]

Removing imposing grandeur from this deck and putting it in The Ur Dragon because 9 cards seems nice.

[@obadijahparks]

A deck I don't mind playing red with.

[@JiveTurkey051983]

Come on Come on... Get cute with the madness

[@TheGodGojou]

Is Joel secretly Tom Welling?

[@gabrielparker217]

add more vampires not dragona.

[@bolariktvl2941]

Nah im not interested in tokens :/

[@lambrosmazis2301]

STREFAN DOESN'T REANIMATE CREATURES FROM THE GY WTF?! 8:43 ?!How you make a video without knowing the content of it ? p.s. unstable obelisk is a must for red and blue and black because you have ramp and late game you may remove "an artifact or enchantment" : like a green or a white could have done..In cost of mana but now you can.. Blue can't and also because we are talking about red and black...both colours can destroy one of them at time not both at the same time..so this or a meteor golem at least two types of this kind of removals in these 3 colors are a must in the mechanics category below the semicategory of removals concerning non creature spot removals(and in order a deck to be viable in its removal package of its mechanic you need 3 of the two type removals if not 4 and also 2 or 3 creature boardwipes).

[@ChrisLovesComics]

My point exactly

[@crispycaveman9164]

?

[@bobbyz5443]
