Great vid and thanks for all the cool content of late! I ended up pairing Ich-Tekik with Akiri, Line-Slinger and our builds share a lot of cards. Was neat to see this from a mono-green lense....
What a coincidence, I've just made a Feldon of the Third Path deck which includes All Is Dust. I really love this take on mono-coloured "artifactocrats", especially with the pod subtheme. I haven't been able to get a hold of Phyrexian Triniform myself, but Triplicate Titan is almost as good (especially to cheat out of the graveyard with Feldon)
I decided to go with Slurrk, All-Ingesting // Ich-Tekik, Salvage Splicer... so I could work off of the +1/+1 counters angle, and there's even some ooze creatures to help with the counters. I'm also running some eggs, like Chromatic Sphere, Chromatic Star, and Hedron Archive. Since I haven't been able to snag either of the non-legendary green splicers, I decided to go with Trollbred Guardian, Tuskguard Captain, Oran-Rief Ooze, Renata (Called to the Hunt), Plaguemaw Beast, Evolution Sage, Fae Offering, Retreat to Kazandu, Fertilid, and Steel Overseer to ramp up on the counters. I definitely want to acquire some more populate cards, proliferate cards, and some better golems to supplement the creature base.
Mimic Vat would be amazing both with your Splicers and with utility creatures like Meteor Golem, Eternal Witness, etc. Soul Foundry makes a reasonable second rate backup if you can find room for it.
I've been wrecking my head around this commander for so long. I've tried three differente three colored combinations, two different two-color combinations, BUT THIS IS SO AWESOME
I do love this build, I've done something similar with Ich and Livio. Sun titans to return, knights of autumn to remove opponent's artifacts. Recurring wings of hubris in one turn is very good
Turntimber symbiosis is a great add, cheats a creature into play, if it’s a small creature it gets 1/1 counters....still synergy.... I did ich tekik with bruse tarl so I can sneak attack them in
So for suggestions I would say if possible and you have enough and/or choose to go with snow covered forests. Blessing of Frost as both a decent pump and draw spell. Return of the Wildspeaker since the majority of your deck is non human its a instant speed overrun and or draw in response to a field nuke with mana open. War Room just cause you only take 1 life against other players 2+ and green lacks outright draw. Bow of Nylea for multiple reasons in that it helps with removal which green lacks, it can +1 counter, or recycle cards that have hit the yard from game or from pod. Ohran Frostfang for both removal and if any of the bigger tramplers hit you still draw. Seasons Past for more recursion. Since you are playing pod you are counting your CC and well it counts your CC and brings them back to hand. Oddly enough I play a much lower to the ground Trostani golem deck and have looked at some of these cards before. I really cant stress enough that Precursor is a bad idea.
When Commander legends came out I made a Livio, Oathsworn Sentinel and Ich-Tekik, Salvage Splicer green/white artifact Splicer deck. It's clunky and extremely fun! Glad to see someone else sees the potential in Ich-Tekik!
Wandering Archaic would be a solid include. It's not an artifact or an eldrazi, but what's better than potentially answering an opponent's counter spell with a copy of that same counter spell?
Since I laid my eyes on him I've been willing to build around him and focused on aristocrat combos. However I still couldn't decide a partner for him. Tymna is very good, but overused and I'm not sure if I want to invest on a 3 colors mana base. Than golgari is my main option, and I would rather avoid Reyhan, although having an obvious synergy. Since the deck will be focused on him to combo off, the second commander can be a support. And I'm adding the new artifact that turn all your creatures in golems for sure
Love the golems! Can't wait to see the deck in action. Also, I missed the kickstarter many moons ago for that playmat but my girlfriend absolutely loves the art. Is there anyway to get that playmat any more or even a print from the artist? Thanks again for all the commander content!
See tho it seems you're going Golems and if thats the case ima go with chulane because bant colors are splicers and golems...but I do feel that artifacts and green can still work....mhmmm
Man, you have such a talent for verbal presentation. Do you work in a field where that comes in handy? (Not that it’s any of my business, just curious. I could see you teaching children, or selling cars, or giving public speeches.)
Why wouldn’t you partner with Rebecca tho. That’s literally my dream deck I wanna do a big budget version of that two uncommon commander deck with doubling season kci and anointed procession. It just feels like such a comfy deck for some reason.
Yeah I just would not play precursor golem in this build. One unkicked Vandalblast, or krosan grip/disenchant just nukes your field. Let alone a simple path to exile. Unless you Selesnya for Rebbec you just have a VERY high value target that just wipes you. But thats the only card I actually object to.
Wow.. I've just spent the last sunday on moxfield trying to brew a deck for this guy.. I cant say I've managed to make anything good.. but hey.. baby steps
I built him with Armix as the partner around a horror art theme. Pretty janky, but it’s fun as hell to create this freaky hellscape on my side of the board. Sometimes I’ll switch Armix for Keskit because he’s equally scary looking, and Armix can be pretty oppressive against lower-powered decks.
@@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai I was trying to pair him with Akiri.. just to have access to the cards from the lorehold commander deck (to have some shennanigans with artifact sacrifice and reanimation).. and Akiri could even hit someone for a ton of damage but it ended up kinda all over the place.. now I am trying with Rebbec for some protection and removal.. I just dont know if I should try to lean a little into some "proliferate" for the +1/+1.. and maybe some charge counters on some artifacts...or just focus on big golems punching faces
@@diadekaum Yeah, I can’t help ya there, I haven’t really looked at the Lorehold stuff. I’m usually not a fan of playing artifact decks, so I didn’t take interest in Lorehold (although the guild itself is pretty awesome from a lore perspective). Mechanics-wise, though, Silverquill and Quandrix look like the most fun decks.

Pyre of Heroes in this build is essentially a second copy of birthing pod
i know I am quite off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream newly released series online ?

I made a feldon deck as well around that time and it kicks ass. Patrazer of Ulamog for 3 mana ..not a bad deal xD
Metalwork colossus, foundry inspector, and sanctum of ugin are some of my favorite colorless cards.
Doubling season seems like a good inclusion. It synergizes with both abilites of your first commander and with all the splicers

That's spicy. Golems are great! Sounds like this deck needs some removal, but that's easily doable for this sort of deck.
When Commander legends came out I made a Livio, Oathsworn Sentinel and Ich-Tekik, Salvage Splicer green/white artifact Splicer deck. It's clunky and extremely fun! Glad to see someone else sees the potential in Ich-Tekik!
Ich tekik is awesome. I splashed white with rebbec for the added protection. Pairs very good with the new Bronze Guardian.
Artifact decks are my favorite theme but I've always hated how netdecked they are. Glad you made this video
Glissa Sunseeker might be useful in the deck. She gives you the ability to destroy artifacts, which synergies well with Ich-Tekik.
Do you own any non-bling cards DJ? 😂
Only pringles 🤣🤣
His entire library is extra.
Cloud Key or Foundry inspector, sound good in this deck
Mycosynth lattice seems good here. Now every permanent triggers Ich-tekik
Makes Vandal Blast hurt that much more, though.
Lodestone Golem and Golem Artisan are excellent lower cmc golems that I have in my Atraxa Splicer deck
This is exactly the kind of deck tech I was looking for. Thank you
I would love to see one with Armix as a partner too :)
Wandering Archaic would be a solid include. It's not an artifact or an eldrazi, but what's better than potentially answering an opponent's counter spell with a copy of that same counter spell?
Thanks DJ! Looks fun
This seems really awesome, ive been trying to make izzet giants work in commander lately and it's nice to see another under supported tribe

This has been really inspiring to build a new original deck😁
I feel like you are the artifact deck tech guru.
I'm more than a year late but, is there any any way to get that sweet Jumbo Commander Playmat??
Another great video! I guess Ward of Bones would fit well in this deck.
Make more of this series!
Pyre of Heroes seems like a must-have here
Love the golems! Can't wait to see the deck in action. Also, I missed the kickstarter many moons ago for that playmat but my girlfriend absolutely loves the art. Is there anyway to get that playmat any more or even a print from the artist? Thanks again for all the commander content!
Deck seems super sweet
Instill Energy and Wirewood Lodge, since one commander is an Elf...
Dude, I totally made an Ich-Tekik and Rebbec partner deck made around golems. People get very confused when I say my artifact deck is Selesnya.
Bling, bling, bling! Yes.
I'd recommend old vorinclex. Mana doubling and tax everyone else out of mana
Love this
See tho it seems you're going Golems and if thats the case ima go with chulane because bant colors are splicers and golems...but I do feel that artifacts and green can still work....mhmmm
My mono green artifact deck is Oviya constructs
I build it but I run with ich and slurrk work well together
You missed the obvious choice... Wall of Vines. I'll forgive it this time, Commander.
You've gotta have Fangren Marauder
Man, you have such a talent for verbal presentation. Do you work in a field where that comes in handy? (Not that it’s any of my business, just curious. I could see you teaching children, or selling cars, or giving public speeches.)
Tangle Golem!

Oh yes, show me the way
It's a shame both green splicers have such a high mana value. The regeneration one might be good.
I would pick a white partner just to play most of the other splicers
I love green/white.
It was worth watching just to hear you say his name that many times.
Urza
I was going to build this but that $900 price 😅👎🏿
And, you know... If you just happen to have five grand laying around, you can put mishra's workshop and gaia's cradle into your deck. Lmfao
