    Which commanders do you think are the 10 most powerful Commanders in the set? Are you planning on building any? What are the hot pieces of tech that we missed?

    • @Alino-
      @Alino- Год назад +4

      I've been looking into a few commanders.
      Lord of the Nazgul is pretty wacky. I built it as wraith 'tribal' (really just the wraiths from the new set, minus the 6 mana witch king.) Didn't think the Nazgul would be all that good but getting four or five +1/+1 counters on a board of dudes who turn into base 9/9s is great. Still debating on if I'll commit to this or not.
      Sauron, the Dark Lord seems like easily the best of the Saurons we got. I built him as aristocrats, and he's solid. Can consistently get 4 to 6 bodies a turn cycle that you're instantly saccing. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this guy makes more tokens than any other Aristocrat commander we've gotten. But that said, I have looked at a wheeling spellslinger deck, because I did see people building that. It seems... good? Not a big fan on it though since it utilizes the thoracle combos for winning. I'd rather my commander play a role in my victory.
      Saruman is someone I'm debating on building - the esper theft one. Can't decide if it's any good. I feel like he grows in power the higher the power of your group is, because realistically just freecasting your opponents' tutors will be great for getting up your combo. Not to mention things like card draw or removal or ramp.
      Frodo, Sauron's Bane is also someone I'm debating on building. Him w/ Lurrus as a companion seems good for a hatebear/stax deck. After locking your opponents out, you can just take turns poking them. And Lurrus ensures you can get recur any hate pieces that go to gy.
      Other than those four - I also built Shelob, the golgari one. It's... interesting. Definitely fun, but it's spiders so even if I bend over backwards to build it, it'll only ever be as good as the tribe. Though I have been debating on an alternative build where instead of spiders I could just run a bunch of voltron and fight pieces and just have Shelob devouring people. Notably, you can have Shelob devouring your own guys to set up infinites. Eat Devoted Druid with Shelob and suddenly you get an infinite mana producing food.

      I believe Sauron, Lidless Eye is very powerful. To be able to pump his ability dealing damage is exactly what red wants to do and there's plenty of support in rakdos to dump mana into it. For 5 cmc, he isn't a quick commander, but, you have all the time you need to setup your infinite mana before he comes out and drains the table.

      Yes those two phrases have different meanings, hence why I specified other scenarios that also were leaving the battlefield. Magic is a specific game, and (nearly all) cards do exactly what they say they do. Ask yourself "was this card on the battlefield, and is it on the battlefield any more"? If it isn't, then it has left the battlefield, regardless of what zone it is currently in (graveyard, hand, or exile) or how it got there.
      What effect in magic explicitly says "target thing leaves the battlefield"?

    Cool blink synergy with Aurelia:

    A couple of great cards for Lord of the Nazgul that weren't mentioned along the lines of Maskwood Nexus are Conspiracy, Arcane Adaptation, and most importantly, Standardize which will trigger the Lord when you cast it. Massacre is another one in the free spell line. I personally think the most robust, fair way to build this deck is with Talrand like creatures paired with Maskwood Nexus type effects.

Bonus points for having the Argonath/Ozolith to capture at minimum 12 +1/+1 counters every time you swing with the myriad nazgul and then putting them on your commander next turn, making it a 22/21 with flying.

There are also creatures that do the same effect you mainly want the text line'' Exile creature, return to play''. You do not want cards that will return the card at endstep as you will miss your Frodo combat damage trigger.

    I think u guys judge wrong the ETB effect of Eówyn, Fearless Knight. The ETB says Greater power and dont refeer to Éowyn’s power as a condition. Is just the greater power between creatures the opponent control. I have the Portuguese version of the card and the text says “exile target creature between the greattest power a opponent controls”

    I've been running 5C Sagas for months with Go-Shintai at the helm. I proxied up Tom Bombadil when he was spoiled and the deck has been much better

    Wizards should really do something about the wording regarding moving "those/it's counters." In this case, reading the card does not explain the card.. never would have known it could double the trigger, thanks for the data!

    You can also put in Djeru and Hazoret into the Eowyn deck. Also sundial of the infinite just gives all creatures forever protection since it's an end of turn effect.

    I actually have a with Aragorn, the Uniter as the commander. It’s a 4 color do almost all mechanics from the set deck. A lot of tempting by the ring, The One Ring is in it. It’s entirely built out of LOTR Cards and serves no other purpose than me being a huge LOTR nerd.

    only major complaint I have with the set is that Glorfindel is not a mythic rare powerhouse. The dude is one of the most powerful beings active on middle earth at the time of LotR being comparable to the other strongest only really falling behind Sauron, Gandalf the White, and Tom Bombadil. Amusingly he is almost certianly stronger than any other of the Maia active currently as he killed a Balrog in the distant past and after getting resurrected/reincarnated is significantly stronger now.

  • @Christoph722
    @Christoph722 Год назад

    I hope when they do a LOTR Game Knights, they either play the precons out of the box or make their own commander decks but only use the cards from the set (commander reprints included). That’s what I’m doing once I get my hands on the set.

  • @amithemuffinman
    @amithemuffinman Год назад

    I dont think modular will work with Gandalf the way you want. Module takes the +1/+1 counters on the modular creature to put them on another, but the 2nd time this goes to resolve it wont have any counters on it anymore? Judge.....?

    How did you guys not include Galadrie, Light of Valinor?! she's arguably even better than Galadriel of Lothlorien, and even better is if you have both on the board at once, such a great scrying, drawing, ramping combo. Would have loved to see what else you would put in that deck though.

  • @Nachtmahr_Senior

    If you combine Galadriel with the Druid Class Enchantment Card, I really believe you could come up with a nice land/life combo

    The arcane bombardment reading was wrong, it’s exile a instant or sorcery at random from your graveyard not the one that you cast. Small but important detail! Great izzet cards regardless!

    I didn't go aristocrats with Sauron. I 100% made Sauron into a pseudo-wraith tribal with heavy graveyard shenanigans. I just mill myself with the ring temptations, reanimate all my nazguls, subsequently making them huge. Adding in Sauron the necromancer makes reanimating nazguls easier, then summoning Sauron the lord of the rings is icing on the cake. Bonus points if my nazguls and any other creatures are reanimated by Sauron the necromancer because then their become wraiths with base power and toughness 3/3 PLUS all the counters they generate on each other. It's pretty dirty.

    In the example section of Sarumon you mention casting an opponents bolas citadel from the grave when you actually cant do that because its an artifact.
