What EDH cards take Kyler, Sigardian Emissary to the next level? | Kyler Commander (EDH Combos)

[@davidpeevy2484]

Thanks for the video I’m Currently playing a kyler deck and the suggestions are awesome!

[@aktirimagic4405]

Glad you like them!

[@lgfcollins3042]

Great video. I will have to pick up some of the cards you recommended for the deck. I like to run hydra's growth on kyler. Cheers

[@TheGMGC1]

First time checking the channel. Good stuff! I've been looking at that card lately it can to do some ridiculous stuff.

[@aktirimagic4405]

Thank you! Love Kyler, such a fun commander

[@kidwithAnose]

Nice editing. Quality video. Keep up the good work.

[@aktirimagic4405]

Thank you for the encouragement! I'll keep at it.

[@minoo_h]

In the last example, if you have infinite Kyler counters all other humans are infinite +1/+1 from Kyler, so I think no need to use Slippery Bogbonder. I feel like Slippery Bogbonder is most useful for moving a bunch of distributed counters all onto Kyler, so that each other human gets the max of all the counters via Kyler (and he has hexproof).

[@minoo_h]

Oops. Somebody effectively pointed this out below.

[@aktirimagic4405]

All good man! Thank you for pointing it out!

[@Aps3FanBoy]

Hardened scales and Alpha status do crazy work in kyler

[@aktirimagic4405]

Oh heck yeah! Gosh, sometimes I miss really obvious cards. Thank you!

[@Aps3FanBoy]

@Temur Timmy ye this dawned on me the morning after

[@MegaTrain]

Note that the boost given by Alpha Status certainly benefits Kyler, but won’t further boost your other humans, because that’s based purely on Kyler’s counters, not on Kyler’s power/toughness.

[@mtgenthusiast1168]

I've added in my kyler : esper sentinel , thalia guardian of thraben , thalia heretic cathar , glowrider and paladin class cause in my locals people play a lot of control or infinite combo decks and i made their life miserable they couldn't cast their combo pieces on time and i flooded the boards with humans and attacked for game xD!!!

[@aktirimagic4405]

Ah! STAX ftw? Well played!

[@BryanCD01]

Really wanted to build a commander without the cliche Vanquishers banner, Coat of arms tribal cards and I think kyler is perfect for that. Good video keep it up!

[@aktirimagic4405]

Most excellent! The recent Leinore deck is a great starting point and I believe it includes Kyler.

[@damianosollazzo5747]

@@aktirimagic4405 it does. I buyed Coven Counters in a shopping frenzy: at first i thought it was a mistake of mine but i decided to build a Kyler deck after i found a blueprint of upgrades

[@CreepAM]

Awesome video. A better mic would push the overall quality way up. Love your stuff

[@aktirimagic4405]

Ah it would indeed! I'm asking Santa for one this Christmas

[@BIGNEILCOUSINS]

The only issue I found with this commander is drawing cards . It can be solved with a few enchantments and I a few humans who let you draw cards . The deck is fun to play but you need to hold up mana for protection spells like heroic intervention.

[@aktirimagic4405]

Oh absolutely. Card draw is key, and I certainly should have put more in this list. Creature decks always need to hold up mana for intervention imo. Board Wipe just happens too frequently!

[@agentofjazz6624]

I made a sub theme of enchantments and also added Kamahl, Heart of Krosa, this card just is stupid nasty when you swing!! Pump up everything and knock everything the fuck out..!! Night night!

[@robby6382]

Another issue imo is the lack of great trample banners is sylesnya

[@sp0dershanks506]

Guardian project and meek mentor is good adds for card draw.

[@Jhihadi]

The problem is, Mentor of the Meek wont trigger anymore if Kyler is on the field with at least 2 Counter on him

[@monomanamaniac]

Increasing devotion is the best cards for Kyler, 30 power for 5 mana is good, but it gives your whole team a +5/+5 boost, and the flashback version is at base 9 mana for at least 110 power and your whole team gets +10/+10

[@aktirimagic4405]

Heck yes it is! Love seeing people melt before the army

[@RRYGO7]

i think the slippery bogbonder play was a bad example, i mean, if you attack with ten creatures and five of them become blocked, if nothin else happens the opponent is already dead because the unblocked creatures are having the +infinite/+infinite from those infinite counters on Kyler and moving the counters from him means the blocked creatures will lose the bonus. all said assuming you are playing humans (because thats why you choose play Kyler over Leinore...to play humans tribal)

[@aktirimagic4405]

Ya know, I think I realized that after this had been posted a few days. You're absolutely right. 💯 %

[@mitchellrowland1017]

And here I am having just bought this deck a few hours ago thinking I was smort with the saffi and LR combo. It's also doable with ashnods, saffi and renegade rallier

[@aktirimagic4405]

Great minds think alike man! Hope it's a fun deck!

[@nathanielhollinger4686]

Here’s my question. I made a commander deck with Kyler as it’s commander. It focuses on human-werewolf and the day/night mechanic. So when it becomes day/night do the creatures count as entering the battlefield each time or is it just the initial change that counts?

[@aktirimagic4405]

If a creature is out when it transforms, it hasn't changed zones. Not phasing, not exile, not the graveyard etc. So, it doesn't get an 'enters the battlefield' trigger, but they will get their transformation triggers. @night A werewolf with the DAY//NIGHT mechanic will enter the battlefield as its transformed side (see: graveyard trespasser// graveyard glutton). An older werewolf from innistrad, or say shadows over innistrad, won't enter as the transformed. They actually have to be on the battlefield to when a transformation triggers. Transformation triggers happen each direction of the flip.

[@billable1861]

Thraben doom slayer should have been an honorable mention because it’s also part of that last precon nobody wants to buy.

[@aktirimagic4405]

Which pre con? Yes he's really good, but I thought he was in the most recent Human pre con, Leinore.

[@jamesbryant455]

I have a Sigarda deck and the 2 MVPs of the deck are Kyler and Maja.

[@aktirimagic4405]

Ew...those two together are disgusting...

[@morrius0757]

Replace the lords with Haazda Snare Squad and luminarch Aspirant, they do the same things but better. Thalia's Lieutenant is good if you run the face commander, but you'll want to get rid of the cards that give counters to creatures other than just Kyler as soon as possible. In Kyler, being able to put two or three counters on him over several turns with one card is better than one counter. Plus, Aspirant is usable even if you cast her before Kyler. Gallows is just trash, just put generous gift. You really don't want to be tapping creatures unless they're attacking, creating human tokens or producing mana. You're needlessly slowing Kylers tempo. Budget doesn't have to equal bad.

[@TonyCook7]

YOU ARE WEIRD.

[@TheCrafter365]

Bad card picks

[@aktirimagic4405]

To each his own man! Hope you can enjoy the video!
