Weird Name...Really Fun Deck! | Old Stickfingers | EDH | Commander | Magic the Gathering

[@immy1559]

The amount of information and research you put into these decks is absolutely worth more than the cost of the cards to make 99% of them, you deserve every bit of praise you get wow

[@MageSkeleton]

during the introduction would had been a good place to explain how competitive and fast this commander can win. The competitive build for Old Stickfingers runs 2 creatures and can win as soon as turn one. But i guess that info is irrelevant.

[@daneburke6592]

@@MageSkeleton he did tell us that at the beginning of the video though. He said you could just play two creatures in the deck that do an infinite win combo but that he wasn’t going to make it that way.

[@jaka1748]

@@MageSkeleton He said that exact thing.

[@josephjacobs4593]

I think it’s great that both “Soul of the Harvest” and “Harvester of Souls” are in this deck.

[@Giga-lemesh]

I’d never noticed the mirror image of soul of the harvest and harvester of souls, that is very cool

[@Flip4Crypt]

My friend and I were just discussing how much we appreciate the amount of work that you put into your channel, between the quality and detail of the consistent and crazy Deck Techs and the incredibly quick and really well edited news and leak videos that you seem to make immediately. Thank you so much for all of incredible content that you put out for us!!

[@loganator326]

Stickfingers was a commander I saw and thought was interesting but never actually built a deck around. I like the look of this deck, maybe we'll see if I decide to get it for myself or not lol

[@styfen]

Have a dig around in the various historic brawl deck builds for him to get some additional inspiration for ideas.

[@tinosdragatsis]

I would also add the necromancers like Doomed Necromancer, Apprentice Necromancer, and Balthor the Defiled for an upgraded budget.

[@iurirosa3155]

Rushed Rebirth and Malakir Rebirth are two great and budget friendly additions. Metamorphosis is a great burst mana creator. Same for Soldevi Adnate. Both synergise with creatures who have dying effects. Morbid Curiosity is a great draw engine. Plus drawing that many cards allow us to discard our heavy hitters.

[@slavetophage1688]

Great job on the budget reanimator deck list. This looks like a blast to play and power level is just perfection for casual. 👍👍

[@MageSkeleton]

FYI Old Stickfingers is a competitive commander that can win turn one.....

[@bolosandninjarolls]

@@MageSkeleton who?

[@angelsepulveda9211]

Nice love this deck tech, been holding on old stick fingers too. Mitch I hope you play this on the game play with your play group, love to see it in action.

[@seanthebarrelshooter7776]

Oh snap I'm the first one here! Guess I'm building this deck now! Keep up the great content!!

[@crazypatchy1]

That is the law

[@KBgamer2010]

I have a Lord Windgrace deck and I named it "Windgrace, Lord of Real Estate" And then I have a Mono Black commander deck with 9 interchangeable commanders Named "Sacrifice for Value" of the 9 interchangeable commanders, you have K'rryk, Razaketh, Kokusho, DoT Sidisi, Sheoldred, Vilis, Mikaeus, The Haunt of High Tower, and Kuon, Ogre Ascendant. Doesn't matter which I use as a commander for that deck, strategy is the same with slightly different playstyles

[@john81blaze]

I love how you put all the budget options instead of talking about staples ...makes brewing the deck easier ....and we all know what the obvious cards to add if we want a optimum deck ......thank you

[@K1ddb1ub1az3]

But what about Blood for bones?

[@daneburke6592]

Great video! I think “ghouls night out” would be great for this deck! Reanimate a creature from EACH graveyard so 4 creatures for 5 mana! Only around 80 cents at the moment

[@DatPaulGuy]

That was my favorite card from that precon

[@Guroji]

I bought it! Thank you for all your research and dedication. Deck list link helped ×10 fold

[@adrianybarra24]

Could you let me know how it plays I’m kinda interested in buying it as well! Thanks!

[@WayfarersBauble]

As of this posting, my lowest TCGPlayer market price is currently $2.42 for my The List printing.

[@shadycloudz1210]

Hey Mitch I think a really strong card to add to this deck would be deadbridge chant. It mills you 10 and then Each turn you get a free random card either on the battlefield (creature) or in your hand (anything else) so get a big boy creature a turn or get back your other recursion spells Yes it's random which sucks but definitely balances the card. Its pretty much consistent card advantage either way and it's like 57 cents on tcg player so definitely budget friendly!

[@Mattball82]

Bro.. we are kin! The second I saw this card when it came out I laughed so much in joy because it’s the greatest named card ever! I even had to tell my non-magic playing friend about it just because of the name and he loved it too! 👍👍👍

[@Spike-hl2mw]

Far Wanderings is an auto-include ramp card in any self-mill deck with green. The floor is 3 mana to search up one basic to the battlfield tapped--not amazing, but fine. But when you have threshold, it searches up THREE basics to the battlefield tapped. This makes it a ramp card you don't really mind drawing later, because by then you'll likely have a large enough graveyard.

[@Chaoslorden]

Heck yeah! Now I know where to put all my cards from this list.

[@Gillymanification]

Feel like you could increase synergy by replacing removal and ramp instants and sorceries with creatures with similar effects. Especially with Soul of the Harvest and the commanders ability, figure you want as many creatures in the deck as possible

[@MageSkeleton]

The competitive version of Old Stickfingers runs 2 creatures in the entire deck. With that said, for casual fun Old Stickfingers is neat with the Dredge cards.

[@ImNotFine]

Great deck, I really enjoy these budget lists!

[@ericjenkins1909]

Please do a “break the bank” build on this one!!!!

[@xezat1]

Well after watching a number of these, I decided to pull the trigger on ordering one. I've been wanting to make Old Stickfingers ever since he was revealed in MID (was a fun short story and he does give off creepy horror vibes), but wanted a way that wasn't a 2 creature combo/T1 win deck as well which seems to be how most want to build him. But as I'm still being relatively new to the scene, I wasn't sure what creatures you'd want to use for good effects or the various reanimating spells that don't cost an arm and a leg (looking at your reanimate). Then if I like it enough, I can always invest in the more costly/better things later on. Thanks for the video and deck!

[@TimelordPete]

I built a stickfingers pioneer deck thats 80cards, so people mistake it for commander. Old sticky and old rutty are good pals

[@PALIGames]

yeah he is great im including him in mt Grist deck, it is self mill Reanimator /insect tribal that tries to win with Grist ult

[@hotmetaljr]

I’d love to see a $200 break the bank for this one!

[@GeppettoGiuseppe]

I am thinking about using this as my first commander deck. Great video

[@Petronio39]

I just tried brewing this dude and ended up going a really different direction. I love how open ended this guy is because you can really run just about any creature in it's colors as a secret commander. I ended up doing a dredge build with golgari grave troll and Gitrog, which pays off with worm harvest. It's fairly linear, but it was also super budget, and really fun to pull off.

[@Polishbojo]

I made a stickfingers deck a while ago. With the right starting hand I can turn 2 It That Betrays or Artisan of Koz. T1: Swap, Sol Ring T2: Forest, Dark Ritual, Stickfingers @1GB, ITB to graveyard, Victimize the stick. I've also put like 7 demons into my Graveyard and cast Patriarch's Bidding to bring them all out before too. If I'm playing "nice" I will replace the Eldrazi with Demons, if I'm playing mean I'll replace Demons with more Eldrazi. It's been fun. Even not T2 a big bad, Turn 3 or 4 it's pretty much a guarantee they're facing something bad.

[@mcjovies36]

Thinking about using stick fingers to make a deck inspired by Pet Sematary so this is really helpful/good inspo. Stick fingers reminds me of the deadfall/Wendigo creature so excited to see what else I can put into the 99 that is inspired by the book:)

[@NMerriott80]

Mitch my guy, this deck is perfect for more "Undergrowth" cards!!! Hatchery spider let's you dig through your library to plop a green permanent to the bf on top of being a 5/7 with reach. Mausoleum Secrets although just over a dollar is a cheap tutor for a black card. Necrotic wound is absolutely a killer removal spell for this build. Giving a creature -x/-x where x is the number of creature cards in your yard is brutal. Indestructible creature getting you down, well Necrotic Wound solves your problem, and on top of that if it dies, it gets exiled instead! And finally Golgari Raiders with haste. Reanimate that bad boy from the yard right after Gaze of granite and swing in for some potential serious damage!

[@tammias2879]

i love your budget videos because it helps me start a deck i want to make and then over time i can put in more expensive cards i save for. have your ever thought about doing content on pauper edh i just got into it, the 2 main things i like about it is that its always cheap and i think making a deck out of an uncommon creature makes for decks with play styles you see in regular edh but not as fast or strong but still can have really fun interactive games

[@elsanto2401]

Because stickfingers filters so well, its almost like a reanimation stompy deck and thats very cool

[@skeletingking]

Would love to see an upgrade for this one!

[@st0rts11D4]

I haven't bought it yet, but my strategy for building this was fill it with as many mana dorks as possible and then all the */* big boi creatures. First deck I'll have ever owned without a sol ring in it.

[@spahgeet2897]

I recently got my hands on Sheoldred, Whispering One. I'd have to imagine it'd be quite the upgrade to break the bank with. Might have to get this deck.

[@apjapki]

This is a cool classic deck with an interesting commander.

[@leveloct882]

Deck could use haste, crashing drawbridge would fix that. All in all fun reanimate tho. Thx

[@mmartak]

I like that this deck has zero Mikaeus or Necrotic Ooze graveyard combos. I thought about building Old Stickfingers, but I didn't like how easy it would be to combo with him.

[@Oscar-qs4nt]

I'm happy I have majority of these cards!

[@MageSkeleton]

WARNING: Old Stickfingers is a COMPETITIVE commander so if you plan to play a deck with him in a more casual setting make sure to explain that in the rule zero discussion. With Razeketh, and Dryad Arbor you can storm into Chatterstorm and win the game on turn 1. Old Stickfingers is 1 of 4 commanders i know that can win turn 1.

[@danfoxx55]

Pardon for being annoying, but do you mind explaining the turn one win? Tried to solve it as a puzzle but I’m new to the game and struggling since dryad arbor isn’t a spell that’ll count towards chatterstorm

[@MageSkeleton]

@@danfoxx55 First you'd of course be making use of the money mana rocks, mana crypt, mana vault, lotus petal, jeweled lotus, etcetera. Your first spell your looking to cast is a spell like Green Sun's Zenith or Finale of Devastation where X=0. This is where your putting Dryad Arbor on the battlefield. Then, depending on if you have the mana available and a reanimation spell in your hand (Three to cast Commander and one to three depending on reanimation spell and two to cast Chatterstorm) you may have to wait until turn two BUT again you may have all the mana you need turn one. Turn two [or after resolving a spell like Green Sun's Zenith] you cast Old Stickfingers with three mana (X=1) and your going to "reveal cards" until you reveal the only other creature in your deck Razeketh the foulblooded. Cast reanimation spell. A few of the reanimation spells require you to sacrifice or exile a creature you control to put a creature from your graveyard onto the battlefield. This is where Old Stickfingers turns into a 0/0 and dies. Sacrifice Dryad Arbor and pay 2 life and fetch Chatterstorm. This is where the higher your storm count is the better but your aiming to at least have a storm count of 4. From here there are a bunch of options to cause "winning the game" including looping Chatterstorm with Elixer of Immortality and remember Lotus Petal is your main source of green. You can even loop Cabal Ritual, Weather the Storm, and do Finale of Devastation where X is whatever arbitrarily high number you want where you win at combat with X X/X squirrel tokens.

[@mrcobrabubbles6889]

Def want to see a upgraded version of this deck

[@maxwellfed]

So would filling this deck with highly powered Eldrazi be good?

[@kcrad1527]

Finally! A build thats worth digging through dozens of half built decks to finish one for once lol

[@danielhernandez7457]

Please I would like to know before I buy this deck, how should I split my land cards? Should I do 25/25 each

[@christophercrafton3373]

Where can we purchase this deck/decklist?

[@flyingblind5677]

Hey Mitch, just curious if you have thought of making a revamped Yuriko deck. I think Kamigawa neon dynasty is gonna drop some awesome ninjas for this deck and I would love to see the incredible deck you could build

[@zerozolo8981]

I name all my decks after music. This one was pretty easy to name.

[@ezrilebeau8234]

I would strongly suggest also running Mortal Combat in this deck to because with your commander you could theoretically win very easily lol

[@fightmeirlnoob1238]

If you bring back the commander from the graveyard what would x be?

[@Kingdomhearts250]

Looks like I'm going to be makes a second Old Stickfingers deck now lol

[@johnquiett1085]

Sounds like a fun deck. Hard to believe it's budget too.

[@yungo1rst]

a couple cards that could be added in are vindictive lich. zombie infestation [maybe to discard the creatures you draw]. sadistic hypnotist. necrogoyf.

[@enigmasshadow9435]

Super budget sub 10 dollar decks in the future?

[@Poetc_Justce]

I basically have this deck with Jarad, golgari Lich Lord as commander

[@NyxTheScary]

Mortal Combat is a fun wincon with this commander.

[@BigNate881]

How would the “X” mana cost work with commander tax when playing your commander the second time and etc?

[@jamiep8002]

His cost as Commander is (Y)(X)BG, where Y is the commander tax, so you pay commander tax over w/e the value of X is.

[@BigNate881]

@@jamiep8002 oh gotcha. Thank you!

[@yanniswalter6764]

If someone did an upgrade for this list, which is in the range of 15-50 € I would like to hear from you :)

[@shanehambrick6941]

love you

[@zanewilkins9548]

Now here's a thought that you might want to consider do all the reanimate stuff that's fine but also take into consideration keeping your opponent side of the field clear so that way you can do what you need to do this card such as grave betrayal that way if your opponent board wipes and that enchantment is on the field all of their cars come back to your side of the field that are non-token as zombies in addition to other types with plus one plus one bring stuff in that buffs your zombies and gives them death touch and then make sure you have an elixir of immortality that way you can make sure that you're not running out of cars in your library cuz this is not that type of deck and also consider that your opponent may have some ways to deal with your commander put in stuff like Swift boots and then put in other things as well to allow you to gain life or equip with your commander to make your commander more beefy
