Veloci-Ramp-Tor Upgrade - Improving the Precon Commander Deck with $100

[@sladereynolds5032]

Apex Altisaur is "fight up to one" that means it is a "may" effect, you don't have to have it fight anything on its enrage. Also Apex Altisaur+ any indestructable effect makes it a board wipe. There are win cons with Apex altisaur as well with my favorite new one being with the new wrathful raptors.

[@GuysThatMagic]

You’re correct!

[@cuccooverlord9812]

That sorcery from jurassic park activates it inmediately.

[@l.schaefer9274]

​@GuysThatMagic also if you have it fight a 0 power then it will stop being enraged and live

[@TerrificConor09]

altisaur and brash taunter is also a disgusting combo

[@nanideckard]

Ready for the 300 bucks upgrade! Great video!

[@GuysThatMagic]

Expect it after all the other $100 videos come out! Thanks for watching!

[@cmattss4]

Please do an upgrade vid on a Wayta deck too im super interested in building around her

[@GuysThatMagic]

Wasn’t planning on it but maybe in the future!

[@matheus5814]

@@GuysThatMagic please, do it! I came here expecting you guys to choose Wayta as a commander hahaha

[@DjDaveedo]

Would you ever do a deck tech for your Gishath deck? or a gameplay video of you guys just playing your favorite commanders? Enjoy your guys's content!

[@GuysThatMagic]

I might do a Gishath deck tech after I add and tinker with my deck now that we have a bunch of new toys to throw into it. Also there is definitely a possibility where we play with our actual decks down the road! - Hunter

[@shawnmarion3004]

A fellow Gishath player.... I would love to see it

[@gabrielwilhelm92]

Cheap mana but not cheap lol hunting velociraptor is like 45 on his own sadly

[@jakecallen9164]

I think the Velociraptor needs bumped to the $300 video now 😂😂

[@mateocossani8231]

u are wrong about apex altisaur, is an up to, it doesnt have to die if you dont want it to

[@GuysThatMagic]

That is correct. I just wanted other dinosaurs in the deck.

[@marklamas2098]

anyone know when they will be doing the $300 upgrade video?

[@GuysThatMagic]

They come out after all the $100 videos!

[@RM_3D]

I bought the Pre con and got the alt art Gishath in the booster bundle pack. I reckon Shadow in the Warp would be a nice add. lowers the cost of the first creature by 2 "each turn" and also pings people :P

[@GuysThatMagic]

That’s a good add!

[@brandoncreek5709]

Hard disagree on cutting Apex Altisaur, love that guy. Great vid though! Gishath was my first deck ever so dinos have a special place in my heart

[@GuysThatMagic]

Check out the $300 upgrade! 😉

[@thriftypsgr]

What would you think about putting in elvish piper? Feel like getting another way to cheat my big Dino’s in would be cool

[@robertsweeney7040]

Perhaps you might add a “Suggested Lands” section to replace Basic Lands. I realize this will almost always break the $100 and $300 budgets… …but when I upgrade - I add the lands I have anyways…

[@GuysThatMagic]

I’m ok with the basic lands in the deck but when it comes to upgrading I’ll always remove lands that enter tapped first. -Hunter

[@lukewhitsell942]

A lot of the ramp in the deck ramps out basics so you will want to have a decent amount of basics

[@ZOMBIEBRAINS69]

Needs more card draw IMHO cards like up the beanstalk and Garruks uprising those are better than the artifact you pay into

[@GuysThatMagic]

I thought about up the beanstalk but ultimately decided against it because it’s a cast trigger and we are trying to cheat out our creatures in other ways. -Hunter

[@ZOMBIEBRAINS69]

@GuysThatMagic relying on one artifact? Discovers' key text says you may cast that card without paying its mana cost or if not put that card into your hand. Which will trigger both cast and etb effects

[@GuysThatMagic]

I may reconsider it in the $300 upgrade 😉

[@style0vertalent191]

As I've made the same mistake and everyone else seems to make the same mistake also - the Apex Altisaur fights UP TO one target. You can also stop..

[@thriftypsgr]

Could you stack blasphemous act, contest of claws, and heroic intervention? That way you deal 13 damage to any target with your creatures and you keep the board state?

[@thriftypsgr]

Sorry I meant the raptor

[@GuysThatMagic]

You definitely could stack heroic intervention after casting the blasphemous act to keep everything alive.

[@kyle7447]

Im looking forward to the vampire 🧛‍♂️ upgrade

[@GuysThatMagic]

Coming very soon!

[@alexmendoza8585]

Okay I a question om part a league where we pick a orecon from 2023 till now and can upgrade from collector sets packs from 2023 till now so I choose this deck of the good ramp I deck but other than LCI set what other sets will I benefit from??

[@GuysThatMagic]

Is this like a draft? Or do you get to specifically get to pick cards from that specific set?

[@alexmendoza8585]

@GuysThatMagic is like daft So I'm looking for high synergy in the packs imm gonna open I can say that we open 3 packs a week for grades So for I'm thinking just do WOE,LCI & Ravnica remastered Decision Decision But there So many good sets like BIG From outlaws and of course lotr

[@DjZam28]

Just to note, Apex Altisaur does say choose “up to” one for each enrage trigger, so it doesn’t have to fight everything and then die.

[@GuysThatMagic]

You’re correct. It would still be hilarious if it went out swinging 😂

[@DjZam28]

@@GuysThatMagic I would say 9/10 times this happens anyway

[@ronaldfuquay6545]

Also, with heroic intervention, or any of the other white "all creatures get indestructible" cards out there, this is a one-sided board wipe. Apex Altisaur is staying in mine for sure.

[@bearwynn]

big L removing Apex Altisaur, it's a busted strong card

[@GuysThatMagic]

Check out the $300 upgrade! 😉

[@izzydarkhart4144]

I feel like a huge portion of this video for the deck could have been summed up to I'm cutting the enrage cards and enrage synergies. Ps from the future this precon is skyrocketing, over 100 dollars now and it keeps rising. Enjoy it if you were lucky enough to get it.

[@Tyler-Clark]

Beligerent Yearling is even more helpful when you pair it with Skullspore Nexus. When a big dino comes in you ramp BY's power to say 12, use the Nexus to double it to 24 and your opponent has no choice but to kill BY and then he'll come back as a 24/24. BOOM!

[@Quickscript]

savage order with apex altosaur is free boardwipe

[@GuysThatMagic]

Check the $300 upgrade!

[@sheaandrus-oak6546]

Power 10 or more is simple with mosswood bridge have you seen your list. You've got ghalta dammit witch is redundant

[@deadbybears9563]

I left my progenitors icon in. It allows you to proc the pantlaza on their turn on a regular basis

[@ZeroG]

what's the benefit of that

[@yung_wizard]

@@ZeroG pantlaza's ability triggers once per *turn*. The idea would be to summon a dino to trigger pantlaza on _your_ turn, pass the turn, use progenitors icon to flash in a dino from your hand on your opponent's turn, which--given it's a new turn--would re-trigger pantlaza. So 4 spells out (2 of which are free) in one of your turns essentially. I've used this strat to flash in and double-summon dinos right at my opponent's end step as the turn was coming back to me so they're off summoning sickness off the rip.

[@tommieboi707]

Monster manuals artifact ability happens at instant speed. Remember that.

[@GoedelingThePrime]

i am not all that convinced....

[@lucasramos4000]

ainda é viavel fazer esse upgrade ? sou do brasil, aqui os cards custam 5x a mais do que os dos EUA

[@xoiyoub]

Another card that pairs with Wrathful Raptors is Chain Reaction

[@JoeSwanson-h4s]

Would there be a way to convert this deck to have atla palani as the commander?

[@metavapour]

Assuming Apex Altisaur has more toughness than anything you might attack, it does act as a very effective wipe. It's life doesn't progressively go down, it resets for each battle.

[@GuysThatMagic]

Totally understandable, check the $300 upgrade!

[@theblueburrow1801]

Keep progenitors icon and add bear umbra enchanting beefy dino with trample!

[@skeletor957]

Kind of curious. I know it’s a little situational, but why no Defense of the Heart?

It’s a really cool card! Just didn’t make it into this build.

“Dinosaurs baby, let’s go” 😂

[@santiagovila4858]

Yes! 🎉

Dinos!

[@DrMinzlauer]

I dont really understand why you are removing Apex Altisaur. I think you understod this card wrong. It will not fight until it dies, because it says: It fights "Up to" one target creature. So befor it would die you cant stop the atack. So maybe you will overthink your remove of this card. I think its really strong. You can trigger this efekt every new round when its full on health, and kill so many creatures with it. I think its to good to remove.

[@GuysThatMagic]

Totally understandable!

[@DrMinzlauer]

​@@GuysThatMagicso you misunderstod the card and will readd it in your 300€ upgrade?

That may happen! Check back Tuesday 😉

[@thriftypsgr]

@@GuysThatMagic awesome. I am trying to decide if I want to buy this precon and upgrade it or if I am going to build the green Ojer god mono deck with big stompy things I already have lol

[@CommanderWildCard]

Wouldn’t dracosaur trigger your commander for x=1 if you create a dink off of it? That kinda sucks

[@notapplicable6985]

You don't need to let the ability resolve, you can have a dino enter and not have is discover

[@GuysThatMagic]

It’s a may ability!

[@Lildoopdoop]

Also there may be an extremely rare instance where you want to discover into a 1 mana spell, such as ephemerate or path to exile.

[@apolotkm4895]

What do you think about adding to a finale of devastation?

[@GuysThatMagic]

I like it for the flavor just because the dinosaur is on the card. However, I liked the battle a little more than the pump effect if you put 10 mana into it.

[@usernameruss]

Ahoy Mateys gonna spit on people
