Voltron - EDH Archetypes | The Command Zone 76

[@docterfantazmo]

Even as a Red player, I love Swan Song. NO! You can't have that, but here, have a pretty birdie.

[@BloodLegaZ]

+docterfantazmo Yeah this card encourages ADHD. OMG YOU COUNTERED MY CAR--- o.O Pretty Bird!!!!!

[@mando8469]

+docterfantazmo I love the scene where player goes to play a bomb card and you hear the immortal words "Na mate! Swan!" best line ever.

[@samb123078]

Cards that give you more combat phases, or better yet extra turns, allow you to shorten your clock. Relentless assault, world at war savage beating, seize the day etc are all great to kill players in two turns.

[@Oridemos]

Bins Wanger giving double strike is essentially the same thing and often times cheaper

[@MichaelR521]

one of my favorite yet notably underrated evasion cards is Teleportal. while it is sorcery speed, for two mana you can get that huge amount of commander damage in to win the game. Its usually best in narset or shu yun strategies.

[@tbelmont5467]

Sigarda in most cases is ridiculous. All you really need is indestructible and then she is in your face and a serious problem. I have a Sigarda Enchantress Voltron. Easy to get going, fun to pilot, hard to slow, even harder to remove, with draw engines and playing multiple lands per turn. It can get very nasty, great devotion yields great reward indeed.

[@DeliciousMorsels]

I run a Zurgo, Helmsmasher Voltron by suggestion of a friend. REALLY fun, and definitely packs a punch. He's already such a great starting point with 7 power, Haste, AND Indestructible (so long as it's your turn), plus the fact he swings each turn FORCES your opponent to deal with the threat or die trying. Only played it 1v1 so far, but I'm looking forward to playing "Zurgotron" in my play group. Just as soon as my work schedule works in my favor...

[@chrissmith2618]

Hey can you post a deck list? I've been thinking about making a zurgo and a yasova commander deck

[@quinnheppe2959]

I made an interesting Voltron with Yasova Dragonclaw where she takes creatures from everyone to help her attack or to block. I think it can be pretty good.

[@evil_leeroy]

Quinn Heppe I made a similar deck but used the taken creatures to sac. Combined with cards like treasonous act and act of aggression it gets pretty crazy.

[@chrissmith2618]

I have been thinking about a deck like this for a while, do you mind sharing a deck list?

[@natanoj16]

+the command Zone Bruna is the servant of Avacyn so she has a staff with the symbol of Avacyn :)

[@jonathancollins8433]

is it weird to watch this two years after it was uploaded? Still pretty relevant for people trying to understand the concept and play style of voltron, as far as I am concerned.

[@Lellerinoo]

im watching this 7 months after your comment lol

[@manuelito1233]

9 haha

[@bradywarren2252]

Howdy boys, just rolled into town here myself 😂

[@jls22147]

3 weeks till 2020

[@guscolby1036]

watching it five years later in 2020 lol

[@foffingCh.]

That tiny shu yun

[@chrisgallo2236]

I LOVE my Bruna Voltron deck.

[@456jm]

Instant speed evasion tricks for Voltron? * Power Matrix - Gives your Commander +1/+1, Flying, First Strike, and Trample until end of turn. * Key to the City - Despite having to discard the pros outweigh the cons. * Excavator - Give your Commander a landwalk ability based on what basic land you sac or any basic land type with Prismatic Omen. * Nature's Blessing - Similar to Power Matrix except your Commander can gain a +1/+1 counter or Banding.

[@emdub9679]

People thought my Mardu pillow fort deck was voltron because I like to use Urza lands so now I'm turning it into one. Thanks past J'n'J this is needed.

[@silentgrave17]

I have a voltron Varolz deck that works slightly different from a regular deck as i scavenge creatures instead of just using equipment to deal big damage. However, I completely agree with the "scary" thing you were talking as typically it's me vs the table. Still though it's a lot of fun as it speeds up the game and it forces them to concentrate about their turns.

[@jesperejsing7558]

That was a super fun episode to watch. I really liked the man many triggers of Jimmys deck.

[@GeekandGlory]

I am currently making a Jorn, God of Winter Vultron deck. Jorn wants to attack anyways to untap snow permanents, might as well suit him up so he doesn't get killed and gets in that damage. Plus I don't think a lot of people expect Jorn to be Vultron. 😇

[@dsweet5273]

I think the biggest drawback to voltron commanders is the fact everyone knows immediately what your gameplan is. I find the best way to try and overcome this, is to have several other creatures in your deck that can be "voltroned up" if youe commander continually keeps getting handled. Creatures with double strike or infect are perfect for filling this role.

[@Oridemos]

Darrell Sweet sword of body and mind to make 2/2 wolfs helps against sacrifice effects

[@GregoryGibbens]

Quick request for a EDH archetype series: I would love to hear and episode or two on Group Hug/Slug. Zedruu the Greathearted, Phelddagrif, and Braids, Conjurer Adept are a few commanders that come to mind, but I'm fairly certain that's not the extent of the format.

[@AceFreestyle]

The Vitals of Voltron.

[@groadytoady4292]

My very first commander deck was a Thrun voltron deck. I found that using the umbra cards (Boar, Spider, Snake) were great "second life" type cards.

[@dylansturm8065]

I building an atogatog Voltron deck and I'm gonna check on using some umbras. Thanks for the info

[@matthewmccreight9854]

Privileged position and Sterling Grove is great... Protection in green/white it's a lock...

[@kylesavage4525]

I have a weird voltronish/combo Narset deck where besides her having hexproof i use spells like boros charm (which can also give double strike) that protects not only her but my equipments/auras as well from board wipes and removal. Long road home and Otherwordly journey exile Narset and return her at the end of turn so she is completely protected by board wipes and edict effects.They can also exile a blocker if that's necessary if i don't have any evasive auras/equips on her.

[@RickMacLennan]

Loving the Scottish accents, guys. Very funny, and actually not too bad.

[@aaron9797]

i have a zurgo helmsmasher voltron deck and my secret weapon is assault suit every turn each opponent gains control of zurgo they must attack and he indestructible and can not be sacrificed

[@popo237]

+Aaron Kenyon Dude......

[@xavierh3186]

Zurgo and Worldslayer

[@aaron9797]

Xavier H in the deck

[@xavierh3186]

Aaron Kenyon awesome!

[@samb123078]

I have that Zurgo deck but have never gotten that combo off.

[@blackdragonepic]

Don't forget Nahiri on the voltron strategy! She might not kill a player on turn 5-6 most of the times unless you get a really good draw, but She'll always make sure you have a creature to equip things to while giving you free equips, she protects herself with tokens. If your precious equipment gets destroyed she can pull it out of the graveyard and if the game goes long you can end it with a +5/+5 double strike indestructible weapon. I also don't need to say why having nahiri and a skullclamp on the board or a mentor of the meek scares people.

[@poppaDehorn]

+blackdragonepic id rather play eight-and-a-half tails with nahiri as one of the 99.

[@NICOTHATKID]

I'm running a isumaru voltron deck. It's pretty funny.

[@gundathroneps448]

Every time i play my Alesha tiny leaders deck and I get my swords on her I say: VOLTRON ASSEMBLE!!!!!!!

[@robertcotrell9810]

I'm developing a Rith voltron deck. Fair bit of success so far.

[@froggy9788]

Narset is my Voltron commander. I've won on turn 3 many times with her. She's just so good.

[@SuperSexyturtles]

Tanner Franks I play narset as well an have troubles with mana any advice

[@iPlayChessAndStratego]

Still gettin educated on edh from u guys in 2018!

[@BloodLegaZ]

EVicerating with Voltron video was very nice guys. You may go back and retrofit all the names now :)

[@iainarlt7668]

shu yun voltron is INSANE and so fun to play when they die turn 5!

[@decakebaker]

Viluptuous Voltron!

[@patrickhlavinka6364]

Makes me remember when I had platinum angel and whispersilk cloak at an FNM and the opponent lost cause they got milled out.

[@philippebf10]

My favorite voltron commander is molimo or multani yavimaya avatar because what boost its atk you play lands XD

[@mando8469]

I have never played a voltron deck and have never run a mono white deck. so Commander Eesha it is!

[@ignaciogallarati7287]

"eggs meet basket" awesome.

[@swimbackdanman]

Really fun video. But it would be a lot easier to read the cards if they were facing front instead of rotating at an angle.

[@davidkunz8257]

angelic destiny doesn't go back to your hand because your commander never dies unless you send it to the graveyard

[@88Hyo]

I play atarka voltron 8D flyi g trample double strike for 12 damage without a single buff? I'm in! Also, it looks expensive, but you have stuff to work around it. Like dragonspeaker shaman, zendikar ressurgent etc. It's very easy to have her out by turn 4-5 and start swinging. And you can kill someone in 2 hits.

[@joylesstiger]

Zurgo Helmsmasher + board wipes = goodnight Irene

[@kk771009]

u know i'm re watching old vids , i like these old episodes more then with the studio , could u not make some of these again and once a month with a studio and faces on the screen, just like gameknights

[@kk771009]

profet of krupix boy did they know lol

[@jeanmarais337]

could you make an episode on counters decks. the weaknesses are similar right?

[@BradTheBrave1024]

I think your thoughts on a uril voltron would be a very interesting podcast.

[@mikenerdcore]

Nazhan is my fave esp with Kemba and Balan ;0

[@andrewmoore7014]

Arcane Lighthouse is pretty funny when someone makes their dude hexproof.

[@AdmiralTarkin]

Hey guys, please do superfriends as your next archetype, thanks

[@sawyervandenbrink2439]

Modern has bogles, all you do is pile enchantments on slippery bogle and gladecover scout

[@Metal_Mitch]

Could you guys do an Aurelia the warleader deck tech? My build is based on double strike but would like to see other ideas.

[@noahfasoformoso]

+Mitchell Soukup Send them a deck doctor list on tappedout. tappedout.net/

[@altF4ninja]

the first sigarda can be a mean voltron commander. can't be edict'ed like most voltron commanders and has hexproof AND flying. i had someone in my playgroup who played her as the commander. was the dumbest thing ever, i hated it. now im trying to build it lol

[@joylesstiger]

Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the “vox populi” now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, van guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honour to meet you and you may call me Voltron.

[@PaladinOfHope]

What's your opinion on Skullbriar? He's a pretty unique Voltron Commander.

[@killswitch69698]

its 2am. y u do dis. rip sleep schedule

[@DJMigrane]

in many of the play groups I've been in, if a person focused on one person it was kind of frowned upon. these groups weren't as competitive as ones at my LGS

[@billyumbraskey8135]

Anyone tried new Drana as a voltron commander? I thought she would be interesting.

[@HongKongSniper]

Venerable Voltron

[@ODDnanref]

Well that comment near the end explains why I lost that game. Killed two players then someone act of treason. Worst I had him on 18 commander damage for a turn and decided to finish the guy that had a lot of card draw instead.

[@iPlayChessAndStratego]

44:35 why is he so small lmao

[@henry3457]

What was the card art at 4:00? Thanks!!

some of the cards were really small in the video.

[@dylansturm8065]

Atogatog Voltron is mine. 😂

[@iPlayChessAndStratego]

what do you think about exava for voltron?

[@shawndiaz7528]

Hero Zero Exava doesn't have any inherent voltron synergies. Her abilities say go wide with hasty creatures more than go tall with me

[@axelsimm2336]

Villainous Voltron?

Anyone have a good voltron commander idea besides Uril, the Miststalker

[@jbvarghese1993]

+Blue Gaming Rafiq of the Many, Sigarda, Host of Herons, Jenara, Asura of War, Thraximundar, and Bruna, Light of Alabaster are all fantastic Voltron Generals.

You guys should film yourselves in the studio instead of showing pictures throughout the video
