WHO'S THE BEST COMMANDER FROM KAMIGAWA NEON DYNASTY IN cEDH - HINATA - SHORIKAI - REALITY CHIP - JIN

[@aaronhallene6364]

man, Rhystic study sure is a good magic card.

Are you paying the 1 for that comment or may i draw?

We can thus clearly conclude that Jin is better than henata for cedh

Shorikai is great... UW having a scepter and HbH outlet in the command zone is big. I don't like the polymorph list though, you lose too much from not having any other creatures, and you hit yourself on the foot with humility

[@Savage_Mr_Bean14]

@@SrDonJugo I agree with you that polymorph effects dont have enough synergy with shorikai. I personally opted for a grindier version, with sceptre combos, intruder alarm combos, and rings of brighthearth combos.

[@thekilla1234]

As a resident blue player I really enjoyed watching that stack get bigger than a commander deck several times.

[@gaelluevano9955]

That was the most amount of draw triggers I’ve ever seen in one game, beautiful 👏🏻

[@Kallastin]

This game is "Who is the best Stax commander from Kamigawa Neon Dyansty?" I absolutely love this. I've wanted to see a video of just a POD of control commanders. Good video guys! Keep up the amazing work!

[@TheVaultDescendant]

And none of them chose the 5c token maker!

[@Kallastin]

@@TheVaultDescendant Yeah. Don't get me wrong, but Go-Shintai is a very powerful commander. But it is not good in cEDH because it would be way to slow.

[@TheVaultDescendant]

@@Kallastin Imo ppl should not be focusing on the shrine part but on the enchantment part of that card. Enchantment matters like sanctum combined with stuff like constilation is surprisingly good. I agree that its probably not CEDH good, but I would like to see it tried out.

[@Kallastin]

@@TheVaultDescendant yeah. The chance of someone spending WUBRG to bring an enchantment back with cards like naturalize and stuff so common in the format would cause more issues than payoff for that specific commander. It may have big pop off moments but I don't see it being good with other Enchantress style decks.

[@TheVaultDescendant]

@@Kallastin I am not getting what I mean across 🙈 When you cast/flicker your commander, or another shrine, you get a token that is an Enchantment. It is really easy to get an insane amount of enchantments. The enchantment theme gives tons of mana and card draw, and constellation or other etb-triggers are good finishers/stacks. One great thing about this is that the effect triggers on etb, and many cards that are real good with tokens are also enchantments. Again, this is probably not good enough for a CEDH, but it's a very strong and explosive midrange/grind deck. I am not a good deckbuilder, but the one I made is strong in comparison to the rest of my group.

[@JustforKikX]

Loving this set so far. Decided to build Isshin and Satoru. Slotted my boy Jin right into Satoru, pulled the phyrexian version in a pack. The lands are gorgeous too.

Favourite? And flavour? Why are you doing that to me?

I learned the 1 polymorph target problem over 12 years ago, sad to see you youngsters are just now learning it ;) Also, the best part of this video was having to hear Dylan read out loud "anime tiddies" with a straight face. Great show as always, excellent editing. As usual, the most threatening deck for casual level play (Hinata in this case) didn't get to do its thing. I look forward to all of the twitter threads asking for a Hinata ban because of WotC overlooking all of the X spells the card interacts too favorably with.

Ditto. I just built a very similar list and I’d love to see it piloted for some additional thoughts on deck construction / play patterns.

[@NewSchoolPOKERstrat]

I don’t really like watching game play but you guys are pretty great. I’d still rather have a deck tech or set review to watch but I have to say this is the second time I’ve watched this game. You’d take that as a big compliment if you knew how rarely I watch a game once thru. I’ve never watched another game twice ever. My fiancé jokes about these people she watches on KZbin being “her friends” and I do get it now. You all remind me sooo much of all the guys I used to play with in my twenties (I’m 42 now and some of those guys are not even alive now) but somehow you create videos that literally produce a sense of nostalgia in me. I don’t know shit about video production or editing but I would have to believe that’s very very high marks. Namaste homies 🖖 Fantastic game/video

[@NewSchoolPOKERstrat]

I’m one of two entire people working on Shorikai on the discord. I’m glad you guys were preaching the gospel. I was trying to convince the other dude on there that he should run vanquish the hordes and out of time in his poly version (I’m not doing poly things). I feel like out of time should be in that list. It’s a white/x control deck that can make tokens that only plays one creature and even it’s damned commander isn’t a creature. If Out of Time fits literally anywhere at all.. it must be there, no? And I think we all sorta angreed it was a good card.

[@trainspartan4464]

I’m probably just stupid, but what’s the major wincon for the deck? I looked through the list but can’t seem to piece it together

[@NewSchoolPOKERstrat]

@@trainspartan4464 The commander is a scepter outlet. You can use dramatic scepter to draw your deck and generate all the mana. In my list I just have one copy of Nexus of fate in the deck. That way when I draw myself out I play that and take an extra turn to attack with my nigh infinite army from all the commander activations. He’s also using polymorph (I don’t) so he can hit Hullbreaker horror and use it to tap and bounce mana rocks then replay them and tap and bounce to make infinite mana (as long as he has a mana positive rock and at least another he can go mana neutral on. Then he can bounce the commander and replay it to continue to activate it as many times as he needs. Basically the win con is “draw your deck”. As to how he literally closes out the game, in his list he just has to cobble something together that wins. It’s easier than it maybe seems w unbounded mana and access to all your cards. He could use codex shredder to mill everyone out by untapping it and activating it over and over with dramatic reversal/scepter.. he can do that same trick by bouncing the codex shredder and recasting it with Hullbreaker horror. He can make an immense army and then bounce every single non land permanent his opponents have, he can cast time twister over and over a couple ways with Narset in play to make sure his opponents are all hell bent. He can use copy artifact to copy his scepter and imprint swan song on the copy then he can make infinite bird tokens by using dramatic scepter to get a bunch of scepter activations on the stack and then start countering his own copies (dueling scepters) to make an army of 2/2 flyers and then bounce all his opponents things and then wheel their stuff away with Narset out so they have no permanents and no cards in hand and you have an infinite army and he has a perfectly sculpted hand to stop whatever feeble attempts the table might top deck on their last turn. The simplest thing for his deck is prob just to mill everyone out with codex shredder. In my version I just have one copy of nexus of fate and I deck myself so I cast and draw it every turn for as many turns as it takes (likely just one more. It almost says “give your army haste” but has backup text of “take all the turns if that isn’t good enough”) Hope that’s not too complicated. The simple answer is “imprint dramatic reversal onto isochron scepter and use your commander as an outlet”

[@NewSchoolPOKERstrat]

Oh.. after watching the video again I see that the actual win con was to deck his opponents with their own Rhystic study greed. 😂

16:55 teeny weeny correction, you actually don't need to name your choices for Turnabout because it's not a modal spell. That also means that if you copied it, you can choose different choices for the copy.

[@Capybara496]

I think they played it correctly. You don't have to say whether you're tapping or untapping, or whether you're choosing artifact, creature, or land, but you DO have to declare the player you're targeting as you cast Turnabout. I assume that's why Dylan floated mana and activated his Top in response, which interestingly allowed Nate to choose to tap Dylan's creatures.
