He was my very first commander back when I bought his precon deck... very great commander for different levels of power! I later switched to a Scarab God deck but I still use him in the 99... Nice video and keep up the good work! 💜

I tried it (Scarab god) and it didn't work out so well we also tried Gisa and Geralf but we didn't like the self-mill so we are stuck with Wilhelt for now. Maybe we will try Scarab God again in the future and see how it plays out! And thank you for your positivity and comments it means a lot to us ^^

Very cool. some other cards I would consider adding are "Champion of the Perished" a one black 1/1 that gets +1/+1 whenever a zombie enters the battlefield. And Ghoulish Procession, a one colorless one black enchantment that whenever a nontoken creature dies once per turn create a 2/2 decayed zombie. I also like the Geralf, Visionary Stitcher for flying zombies. and Geralf, the Fleshwright for lots of +1/+1 counters the more zombies that enter and creating zombies every time you cast a spell past your first spell.

Those cards are more for a token attack defend more "fair" version of wilhelt, and we did try all of them! we dont run those because we normaly tend to try to do more explosive things than that and we had to cut some cards, those were the ones

Im running Wilhelt with infinite draw by using Archghoul of Thraben, you can also use altar of dementia as an alternate finisher if your bored from aristocrats. I use Death greeter instead of Blood Artist to compensate Dark Prophecy, Undead Augur and Midnight Reaper. Explosive card draw from Liliana's Standard Bearer or Body Count.

You should add walking ballista……..cast mikaeus then cast walking ballista for 0, triggers undying remove counter to deal 1 damage and gg. Also as an altar blasting station is a great choice as well.
@EdhSpellcasters3 ай бұрын
there are so many options with this deck, ultimately we didn't want to do non zombie combos so ended up cutting those out of the deck.
@macces822 ай бұрын
Sorry to correct you on this one but the combo doesn´t work like that. The problem is that Mikaeus gives WB a static +1/+1 as it is a non-human. So Walking ballista needs to be saced to a sac outlet to go infinite becasue it doesn´t die even if you cast it for 0. If you want a truly 2 card combo with Mikaeus it is with Triskellion because Triskellion can use the last +1/+1 counter to target itself to kill it for undying to trigger.
@gtfawaynotnow2 ай бұрын
@@macces82 thx and yea I figured it out later and yes, sub triskelion for infinite but harder to execute on the same turn; however there is still the rooftop storm/acererak combo.

Really nice deck concept, eventho I would love to see some more underrated/nieche commanders. It always feels so refreshing seeing a underused card find a home in a new deck. For example I just build a Zoyowa lava tongue deck, and i'm having a blast playing it. Would love to see your take on this commander (if the rakdos spot is still open in your 32 challange) Much love from italy, rly love the content! :)
@EdhSpellcasters4 ай бұрын
Thank you so much for your comment it means a lot to see people enjoying the videos me and Nuno are doing. We have two commanders that we are planing to do videos on next that more underused and nieches and one of them is indeed Rakdos! It is not Zoyowa...BUT Zoyowa is indeed on the deck, its Laughing Jasper Flint, the other deck is our Gyome, Master Chef, we are gonna decide what to do next but for sure 100% its gonna be one of these two.

Loved this and love your content! If I'm building this deck from scratch, would it be better to buy the Wilhelt precon as a base to upgrade, or just purchase all the singles instead?
@EdhSpellcastersАй бұрын
Glad you liked it! Be aware we did change some cards from this decklist, you can use the link for a more up to date decklist with the new cards from Modern Horizons 3 etc. To respond to your question, IF you can get the Precon at a "normal" price I would say go for it, as you would be able to train a little bit and see if you like the deck and than improve on it with the singles. If you only find the Precon super expensive go for the singles instead. ^^

I just recently brought this back out from the grave since there's the new Gisa and Geralf that can help it out. I have just about the same build, but using a few more non-zombie pingers like Ayara, First of Lochtwain for ETB triggers, Syr Konrad for mill and death triggers, and Blood Artist to get the "commit a crime" trigger for the new Gisa while draining. While Geralf helps with additional etb triggers since you get additional zombies after the first spell you've cast.

Why is neither of the Gisa's or her brother Geralf in the deck?
@EdhSpellcasters3 ай бұрын
Multiple reasons: Ghoulcaller Gisa and Stitcher Geralf - too much mana Gisa, the Hellraiser // Gisa, Glorious Resurrector // Geralf, the Fleshwright - the abilities don't relate really well with our deck Gisa and Geralf - we had it in our list but ended up replacing it for Havengul Lich, to avoid milling wincons by mistake. Geralf, Visionary Stitcher - its good if our plan is attaking, however, this is not our main win con so it doesnt do as much Not being Zombies themselves also doesnt help ^^

Same reason why we don't run that much protection, to avoid the games running always the same as is very easy to break the game with zombies, this way the deck is strong but it can be stopped and you still have fun playing it, a go wide is also interesting though, maybe someday we will do something similar to that

why you removed the counters in the updated list?
@EdhSpellcastersАй бұрын
No reason, I just feel like if I need to play counters i need a package of them and not just 1 or 2, 1 or 2 is not reliable enough to justify running them, as they never show up when I need them. In a more high power or competitive deck yes I love running them, in my case I use my Pirate deck you can check on our moxfield, and Sara uses a Queza deck with some aswell. That and the fact that the deck looks more thematic and fun to play. But the deck with counters is better ofc! and you can add a lot of staples we didnt add on the video and it will be even better. ^^ hope this helps

Acererak is one of the worst zombies in the entire game. Even with rooftop storm. It's the only zombie that is countered by killing it. Cast acererak for free. It enters the battlefield and its trigger goes on the stack. Kill it. That's it.
