this is actually pretty genius. the dash makes it so your Voltron commander is immune to sorcery speed removal

24:42 hahahah I was not expecting to hear Rafaam's "I like your deck I think I'm going to take it!" in this video

16:04 I came here from his channel, and I've been watching a couple of your videos today and I really enjoy them!

for me I feel like I'm still in the phase where i was ten years ago when i started playing magic. idk if its a phase or it's the style i like playing. it's the "i just want to pull off this one very specific thing or do cool stuff" phase

7:29 hey, I have both of these cards! I remember playing an Oversimplify with an activated Alchemist's Refuge, and I remember the player attacking me saying "wait you don't have Cyclonic Rift do you?" (we re budget players that's why he said that) I felt kinda disgusting but it was also a really cool gotcha moment now I'm thinking of putting Oversimplify back into my deck together with cutpurse

Do you have a full decklist available? This seems rad.

Here's a fun wincon for you..... Watchful radstag + dreadfeast demon. Couple of caveats: 1) The combo requires a couple of disposable creatures to feed to the demon(s) to get your stag population off the ground. But once you have 4 or more stags it won't matter if the demons start snacking on them. 2) the speed of the combo depends on your access to populate effects: if you don't populate then it's pretty slow, if you can populate a few times then two turn cycles will usually give you an army beyond the wet dreams of most scute swarm players. I run this in a "xavier sal, infested captain" deck. At the end of the turn that the demon is played you usually have a small clutch of creatures. By the end of your next turn you usually have stags numbering in the high double to low triple digits. If you untap again with that army you can usually k.o. the entire table. (Ofc xavier sal has very easy access to token copying. That does help it to go off fast(er)) I'd rate it average to risky in vulnerability, and average in speed. Sweepers ruin your day, but point removal has a hard time stopping it (either has to be instant on the turn that you start going for it, or need multiple pieces to take out either all your stags or all your demons).

Rod of Ruin is my win condition. It's my truth.

Bro you just gave me a hilarious idea with the soup idea I gotta get to brewing lol

Would love to see a video on the Zirda deck, seems really cool!

Here, have a 300th sub.

Scornful Egotist was usable in limited and in Standard back in the day. In the same exact set, there was a theme that checked for the highest converted mana cost among your permanents, including both a burn spell and a counterspell. With his morph ability, Scornful Egotist allowed you to have an 8 mana permanent faster than instant speed on turn 4, which meant that you could deal 8 damage or counter a spell unless its controller paid 8 mana. Paying only 4 mana for an 8 cost was relevant. I laughed so hard though when you rated him

I think a fun win con, is approach of the second sun. Sometimes works sometimes doesn't. In modern it can go pretty hard though

Thanks for a new Gor Muldrak idea. I love my Gor deck i use an Ernest P. Worrel proxy 😃

There’s a green card that creates Centaurs, forgetting the name, but boardwipes everyone then creates tokens. Crafty cutpurse work great with it…will edit if I remember the name

Never would've thought of Empyreal Archangel to put in new Atraxa, but it's actually quite clever. Definitely wouldn't be the main wincon, but as a backup or just something to stall until the real wincon comes online, it sounds pretty fun. I'd still count it as a wincon, and I agree with your chart, but wincon or not it wouldn't be the focus of the deck. Just found your channel today, but it already looks great. Your videos stay interesting with minimal editing or visual flair (though please do keep up with keeping the corners of cards transparent), which honestly helps for readability. Excited to see what's next!

I don't think Rebbec is a great commander, since it gives your artifact protection from cmc, Protection means it cannot be targeted, that includes your artifact tokens by your name changing equipment, thus, it stifles your own win condition

Great list of cards. I run crafty cutpurse in a few decks, but coupled with that card is nuts. I feel inspired to make a “Newt” deck now. Keep it up!!

Im impressed by the amount of thought you put into your builds, never seen that on youtube at this kind of power level. You're someone am eager to see future videos

I keep an Esper Queza deck with a variety of unassuming hard wincons. Phage+Fractured Identity. Approach of the Second Sun+Remand. Peer into the Abyss+Psychosis Crawler. Nine Lives+Fractured Identity. Lots of fun, drawing naturally into any piece and pivoting the tutor plan to get the other half.

barren glory

Vigor might be able to speed the Empyrium Archangel strat up, especially if you can have some infighting to buff it up.

I have an entirely colorless artifact deck called "The Machine" that is just a bunch of these sort of soft win cons stacked on top of each other. It's got all of the modules from Kaladesh as well as the stations from Mirrodin, Mishra's self-replicator, and a bunch of modular and charge counter shenanigans. The deck is scarily effective because, while it's not necessarily doing anything game breaking most of the time, the amount of recursion and generically good artifact synergies lets it just chug along until it out values the table or hits one of its incredibly janky infinite combos.

im a big fan of mono green ramp ramp ramp ramp ramp ramp hurricane for a ton. ive gotten all basics out of my ojer kaslem deck a few times i can recall, boundless realms usually is the catalyst for that, but yk.

Overall, I love this concept of hard to soft win conditions. And keep up the good work. Hopefully, your channel continues to grow.

yea this codie deck is scratching my jank itch forsure, one thing ima do from my experience playing codie other ways, I will use all the bounce lands since your main goal is to get to 4 mana to cast codie. Having all these bounce lands really helps smooth out your land drops and lets u keep greedier hands!

I never went through that power phase probably because my decks are wild crazy ideas that barely work for half a year while I tune their comical strategies like goblin games my goblins tribal mini game focused deck that wins with crazy coin flip number guessing games and such.

Blood Moon messing with other players is a fine reason to run it.

One problem is that the cut the tethers targets spirits, a creature type known for being at tempo decks centered around flash creatures, so even if you would play against spirit decks, they will prob not tap themselves out so they can pay for the mana if they want to

I love self reflective videos like this.

I definitely wouldn't play against that Derevi deck more than once. It definitely works better in concept (and PvE) than at a real table. That Zirda deck sounds really fun! Definitely going to check it out!

REALLY interesting video! thank you so much

all blue? 💤

Just popped up in my feed. Cool list of decks! That Zirda seems pretty fun, certainly gonna check it out

Good video! It's like a documentary of your evolution as a player

Ancient Kavu was dodging Hydroblasts from the sideboard ☠

This deck is too big brain for me to understand but I absolutely adore it. We need so much more jank like this in commander instead of Kenny deck #999999999.

great video man! You are an extremely advanced player. Your decks are just another level. I just loved that Zirda deck. I'm 100 percent going to make it, thanks for sharing your knowledge for dummies like me

A wee little editing tip -- On Scryfall, rather than right clicking and saving the image, use the "download PNG" option near the bottom of the page. You'll get an image with transparent corners, rather than the little white or black corners on the cards. Sweet vids!

that Zirda build is a stroke of genius

Nice video.

Really in-depth analysis. Love seeing these things!

glad to see smaller channels like this, great vid. I have been watching demo from the start of his channel

Great video! I really love these kind of videos

Hey, just found your channel through youtube recommandations (I do watch a lot of magic content xD) and loved it! Really good explanations on your commanders, good journey through what you did, played and loved over the years! It was an interesting time and really enjoyed your video from beginning to end. I hope you have an awesome day and keep up the good work!

Kazuul gang rise up 👊

That derevvi deck is fantastic, imma have to build a similar deck that follows that idea of disrupting the game
