Volrath's Bag of Tricks | $50, $100, $200 | Budget Commander

[@johnb8265]

Tomer doing content is going to get me through self isolation.

[@tomerabramovici32]

Glad I could help a little bit! Stay safe bud!

[@JCFoxpox]

Absolutely amazing video sir. Would LOVE to see you play this during commander clash, I also need to learn when you stream so I can get more Tomer!

[@Dragiceoriginal]

Tomer doesn't have a regular streaming schedule yet. He currently just tweets a little bit in advance (often like 5 minutes) that he's going on air. Hopefully he'll commit to a schedule though!

[@kaneo13]

that deck tech was excellent! love the little animations and short gameplay footage. nice going man

[@sofer2230]

Anyone interested in seeing this deck in action, the playtesting video's still up on Tomer's twitch (BudgetCommander) - it's *highly* entertaining!

[@tempestotter6856]

This is really helpful, glad I built the volrath deck beforehand and was looking for an upgrade

[@cainejohnson3227]

I really like the accompanying game play. If we get more of it, that would be even cooler!

[@Siege614]

Thanks for the new video and deck idea! last time I commented that id like to see a little game play and bam you added it! Thanks!

[@ivorymantis1026]

I wanted a bit more flair with my Volrath deck, so I added a handful of helpful Oozes and Shapeshifters and relate my deck to "The Thing". In this case, I not only have combo outs in my deck, but the ability to take or copy powerful key pieces of an opponent's strategy and hit them with their own things...but better.

[@DarthTUK]

I hope this will be your next deck on commander clash as it is janktacular :D Love it

[@catdreaming6004]

I'm interested in seeing your take on a Commander deck headed by Reyhan, Last of the Abzan partnered with Ravos, Soultender.

[@AndukeMTGEDH]

Jonah's Avenger is one of the only blue creatures that has double stroke on it, also "king of jank," explored even crazier territory using: karn, liquidmetal coating and turning volrath into other planeswalers aswell.

[@crovax1375]

It's also fair to mention that with Liquimetal Coating and Karn the Great Creator Volrath can become a copy of any permanent in play.

[@tomerabramovici32]

Yeah, Volrath has a lot of jank he can do, even turning into planeswalkers with some extra hoops. I focused on only a few of the combos for the sake of cohesiveness and power. If you'd like to see more Volrath combos, King of Jank does a thorough job in a 2-part series: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gV63anShh9iDsNU

[@jacket2848]

@@tomerabramovici32 if he turns into a planes walker won't he have 0 loyalty and go bonk?

[@DonovanPresents]

I built a Rayami commander deck recently and it was around $25. I haven't gotten to play it yet, but on paper it looks sweet!

[@TH3L3M0N]

Do you have gameplay of this uploaded anywhere?

[@Shmackle123]

Tomer needs his own channel called MTGTOMEFISH :,)

[@Ellonwyn]

Tomer, in celebration of the International Women's day set, I'd like to see a budget deck built around one of the Legendary Ladies printed in that Secret Lairs Drop - Narset, Enlightened Master, Captain Sissay, Meren of Clan Nel Toth, Saskia the Unyielding, or Oona, Queen of the Fae.

[@Ellonwyn]

Actually, you could make all 5 and then have a Commander Clash episode featuring the decks?

[@josealmeida7539]

This is probably the best primer of volrath

[@GaryFromLiberty]

Tomer are you editing these videos too or does MTGGoldfish have a dedicated editor? Just wanted to call out that these videos have been super impressive and in particular the infinite mana combo part and just changing Volrath each time made the video much more enjoyable to watch and easy to follow, so keep it up!

[@tomerabramovici32]

We have multiple editors but I edit my own videos. Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@matthugenberg8869]

Wait, why don't we also get the gameplay video you used???? I wanna see this deck in action! It's the only way I'd actually be willing to buy this deck. But it does look neat in concept. I did forget that volrath said counters, not -1/-1 counters. And that makes hungry dino hilarious

[@tomerabramovici32]

I can't post the gameplay video on this channel because I was playing copyright music. You can view it on my Twitch: www.twitch.tv/videos/565729482 In the future I will disable music so we can post it on the channel.

[@epicnessbrian5295]

wow this video was really well made

[@gabriellapierre4253]

Okey that deck seem like a tone of fun !!!

[@chimneyimp1486]

tomer content

[@maxloggins2930]

Nice deck! Ill you do an zendikar's rising commander 20$ upgrades?

[@brandondrake4609]

I love volrath he’s one of my favorite commanders

[@BadGamers2024]

I am not sure I understand the infinite combo with pili Pala, Pala is a 1-1 and so when you put a counter on it to become it, it dies first

[@brandondrake4609]

Cephalopod Science there are other ways to put counters on creatures

[@MrChewson0314]

It's a oldy but a goodie, my fav commander Sidisi Brood tyrant with zombie tokens and morph theme?? I need the helps

[@cannonspectacle5195]

I don't know how feasible this Commander is, but Shauku, Endbringer seems like it has a really high ceiling.

[@pokemaster4555]

what kind of shenanigans can be done with Volrath and Lazav Multifarious on the field together?

[@ninjaatnight4]

Omg the new oko would make this thing funn as hell, since its a creature once u go to combat it now is able to be copied by volrath? Idk how this works but would be hilarious

[@gunnarpeterson7755]

This is awsome. Thanks tomer

[@jstrobel3620]

You should do a Sedris the Traitor King episode next!

[@seanbaumann8825]

Great video! 👍

[@Crazymachin3gun]

U got to play this deck!!!!!

[@hoangson7976]

wow im not good at listening english but your video very easy to understand.

[@mng604]

When do we see you beatdown Crim and Seth with this deck? :)

[@metalgreyfox]

Are you sure The Jodah’s Avenger/Blighted Agent combo would work? If it turns into Blighted, he no longer has double strike because he’s not Jodah’s. Thoughts?

[@ujai5271]

It works if you turn into Blighted Agent while the Avenger ability is still on the stack.

[@jordanppepper2280]

I had a friend who joked it was only a matter of time until I built an infect deck. After that, I jammed about 10 infect creatures into my my Volrath deck and let's just say there's a reason I said I "had," not "have" a friend.

[@thomasbomar5837]

Where did the commander footage come from does tomer stream I would love to watch

[@calebanderson6193]

Where do u stream !?

[@cannonspectacle5195]

Wanting to build this in 2024

[@maximiliankofler697]

Can you do Acornelia? :D Please Tomer, we are friends right?

[@mapiwnl]

Are there VODs for the games?

[@rexone9564]

Very nice

[@simelot4522]

I mean this deck is just sweet

[@m-hcv]

Enjoyed the deck tech, but please don't make the cards 'wiggle' permanently, it makes it kind of hard to read (and a bit nauseating)

[@volrath__]

So this is why people are always making MTG references at me 🤣🤣🤣

[@eusouzoom]

Where is that game play????

[@dannyisjesus]

I'm gonna use the opportunity to ONCE AGAIN request that Crim record intro's and outro's using the same script Tomer and Seth do. I want it feeling like PBS in this bitch.

[@MrShinyObject]

OM NOM NOM

[@cristobalcalle7898]

i want a jeleva deck tech

[@waynefeller8824]

I want a biccie!

[@jjcc8379]

I was expecting the gameplay :( EDIT: found it, see replies

[@jjcc8379]

Nevermind, found it on his stream. Some parts of the VOD are muted. Shame www.twitch.tv/videos/565729482

[@gabriellapierre4253]

... doest liking this deck make me more of a Johnny or a timmy player ?? Man I hope to see it in the foreseeable future commander clash game !!!

[@jeffmassicott7186]

Yo tomer streams?!

[@fateweaver9]

No love for Unspeakable Symbol. D:

[@AndukeMTGEDH]

Seconded if that's even a word

[@damiendonoho7785]

This is bs I've been building this for awhile tweaking it lmao of course now you make a video of it

[@israelbriseno9463]

how is he turning into Pili Pala if it doesnt have a counter on it?

[@richardbritton4675]

Israel Briseno it doesn’t, that’s why the deck is built around putting counters on things....

[@tomerabramovici32]

The deck has a heavy +1/+1 Counter theme, running plenty of ways to consistently put +1/+1 counters on our creatures. I explain it later in the video and in the article. I definitely should've covered that part first before going on to combos though to avoid confusion. That's my mistake.

[@israelbriseno9463]

@@tomerabramovici32 np bro! i was just like whoa! HOW IS HE DOING IT without previously placing a counter!? hahaha i actually have all the $200 build. Ill try it out this weekend! thanks!

Yossss
