Might be the best tech i’ve seen for Alania! Great job and thanks for posting up the links for the decks

Some mistakes I made during the video: 1. Ruby Storm plays 1 or 2 copies mainboard of Grapeshot and usually 3 to 4 copies of Wish. This basically gives you access to 6+ copies of Grapeshot rather than if you had all 4 mainboard. This is clarification. 2. I mistakenly at one point said storm count needs to be 10 to win. With Grapeshot, you need a storm count of between 18-20 or multiple copies to win. 3. I mistakenly said you can play Mox Opal in Song of Creation storm. I meant to say Mox Amber. Mox Opal is banned but if legal would fit in the deck.

I think you missed the strategical point of fetch + scry or surveil or dual/triomes… You can put down a fetch (blue white) and leave it untap to have it as a hiden answer, instant speed you can go for actually any color cast a counter, a swords, darkmritual vampiric tutor, etc… but! If your opponents see it, and hold back, before your turn, then you can fetch a scry (hand decks) or surveil (graveyard decks), to prepare your top for optimal draw step, and of course with a bonus for graveyard decks. And if you need mana fix you look for triomes. Then on your turn your lands are untap with no downsides.

This is such a well made video. Awesome job dude! Sub!

Great video! I think this is a perfect intro to the archetype for anyone looking to get into Modern. Only thing I would add is that World Breaker is another good 7 mana Eldrazi with a cast trigger that answers a land/artifact/enchantment, and sometimes decks choose to play it.

Love the concept of going over the 2024 Modern meta, gives a good starting point for people interested in the format

this deck really does not need expensive cards. the card draw and synergy is INSANE with just the cheapest of cards

Love the sythis deck - thanks for the overview!

I built a Tinybones Discard Cards deck... my friends hate me when I use it! It's the first Commander deck I ever built! I use 1x Library of Leng, so I don't lose cards...

This feels more like a precon upgrade then a deck tech After reviewing the explore mechanic, I have realized the reason this feels more like an upgrade then a deck tech is because there aren't many synergies for the explore mechanic at this time so you chose to lean into beefy water elves.

Well done!

Deeproot Pilgrimage + Wanderwine Prophets is naaasty.

Bro you’re sleeping on the new Kozilek. You’re not supposed to manifest your own hand… People get pissed when you remove the spells they’re holding by turning them into 2/2s. Unless they’re a creature they’re never turning up

With ulamog, the defiler: you mill an opponent for half, then the next spell resolves and they mill half again. So essentially would mill 75%

A note on putting the new Emrakul in, since it is legendary it will kill one of them because of the legend rule. The problem with that is its second-to-last ability you will have to sacrifice all of your creatures when the copy is killed by the legend rule. In general you get less value from using legendary creatures because of the legend rule, unless you want to use the shuffle your graveyard back into library ability found on some of them. But that's honestly fine, because they are so expensive it is nice that this commander doesn't incentivize buying them.

Derivi can be a good bant commander for Merfolk. But you didn't hear it from me.

its funny at 20mins you talk about having lightning greaves in your deck and it goes on Gishath then you talk about using duelist to give it double strike but you cant of course cause Shroud

why is this being recommended to me by youtube, just for me to be unable to see it? that sucks. not saying you shouldn't be making money via perks for donors, just sad that youtube is going "hey look at this cool video you can't see yet!"

Wait there's only 2 cons on your list. "1 for 1" and "Can't take out multiple threats" are the same thing.

There’s only 99 cards in the moxfield

How would you beat this deck ?

Great video man I’m running this exact deck. Thank you so much and please never take this video down :-)

Other counterspells to consider that I didn't see covered in this video: Wash Away - Basically 1 mana to counter any commander, but there are a surprising number of things that cast from a place not from the hand (impulse draw for example, flashback, etc.). Spell Pierce - probably more of a CEDH card where mana curves are tighter. Glen Elendra Archmage - A bit mana intensive but it is 2 negates at baseline, and if you have synergies with +1/+1 counters, or flicker/reanimation, or something to remove the -1/-1 counters, you can do it over and over again. Mystic snake - similar to Glen Elendra archmage; mana intensive, but pair with instant speed flicker or something and it can be pretty cute. Foil - For very low budget. The alt cost is pretty steep (island + another card), but I think it's under $1. Counterflux - Mana intensive, but for decks that can't or don't run a lot of counters, this helps win counter wars.

Making a Tegwyll deck that focuses around Phyrexian Altar to turn Faeries into cards and mana at instant speed, stopping by for ideas, thank you

Good update: Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, Voultborn Tyrant.

Another good creature to add would be the new obeka, Obeka Splitter of Seconds, Because she gives you X more upkeeps for each point of combat damage that she does to an opponent.

Don’t forget that you should target yourself with the Go-Shintai of Lost Wisdom!!! Your Commander has a second ability, that might be good with a huge graveyard ;)

I love Sythis I just have an issue where I roll over my pod with the deck :(

Surveil lands always etb tapped, theres a typo on the first bullet in the C tier. I think theyre better than c tier tho, being fetchable + surveil is huge

Love a good merfolk deck! Made a similar one! How powerful would you give yours on a power scale of 1 too 10?

In commander, Wash Away is busted. One mana to counter target commander.

I think you're way off about Pathways. They're very high B tiers for me. Even if you have to choose a color, they're still untap lands and tap for whatever you need at the time. For them to ever shoot you in the foot, your deck has to have some crazy color requirements

it's not like you didn't said it but i wanna reiterate that bounce land are good! they always draws you a card but with MDFC's and Channel Lands they actually draw you a spell! also, the Signet Lands can make your powerstones tap for actual usable mana, niche, but interesting

always good to take a look at all available Dual Land Cycles

Would love a discussion about standard 😊

Thank you for this! Looking for exactly this video

Great video!! Quick question what’s you’re thoughts on the “first sliver” I’m suprised they didn’t appear here even as a commander alt

please run more lands

Tutor for Apex Altisaur with your Savage Order to get a one sided board wipe

!

Do you thing that Training Grounds would be good

BTW Titan of Littjara has "Discard a card" because it was made specifically for Sliver Gravemother- so the idea was you'd discard a Sliver you want to encore with Gravemother. Fun fact and cool use for it!

I just built my Gishath deck and it’s become my favorite practically overnight. In your list I noticed a few all stars that didn’t show up and a few anti-synergies (perhaps it’s YT comment bait idk). But in the interest of helping decks play smooth let me offer an insight that Marauding Raptor isn’t a may ability, so it’ll kill any 2 or less toughness creatures you play, including the Dino tokens from Bonehoard Dracosaur. And speaking of Bonehoard Dracosaur will put big Dinos into exile instead of your hand for Ghalta’s ability or any other hand dumping effect.

Hi, can you share the list?

Oh my god the false argument about card advantage...according to the people that repeat it drawing a card is like drawing 3 cards in a multiplayer game cause youre up 1 card against each opp😂

Didn’t even mention dormant sliver 😢 I think it’s slept on

So i wana add vorinclex and doubling season to my sythis deck cause i wana get a win with the millennium calendar

How about you put warstorm surge instead of terror of the peaks?

Came here to decide which to keep between Negate and Dovin's Veto and you put them in the same tier hahah

As a cEDH player it's quite interesting to see you react to bog standard plays of the format with question marks. using rituals for your rocks is pretty normal since it gives you a permanent mana advantage especially when your commanders will draw you a bunch of cards. remora is outside of winning one of the best turn one plays. tymna/kraum is the best deck in the format bcs it can adapt so easily to every kind of pod. I have played games were one of the decks is a more casual deck and its usually pretty frustrating for the other players. cEDH lives off of all decks being able to contribute on the stack in some way and one or two players not being able to do that can suck. That being said most midrange or stax cEDH decks lose to big stompy bois, but if you were against a single turbo deck they would just turn 1 win against regular commander decks since there is basically no chance of their win attempt being stopped.
