Which commanders do you think are the most powerful Commanders in the set? Did we miss any? Are you planning on building any of the Commanders we talked about today? What are the hot pieces of tech that we missed?
I know you are going over fourth, tenth, and thirteenth doctor in other videos so I would say you all did a good job on hitting all the powerful commanders. The war doctor I think could be pretty powerful if built right
The War Doctor is by far the most powerful of all the commanders in the set. Pair him with Clara for black, and utilize cascade and any number of impulse draw cards to see him doming people for lots of damage. Cascade is especially funny, since the way the mechanic works is that it exiles each card individually, meaning if you cascade enough cards, the War Doctor might just be able to one shot a player right off the bat. Add Clara into the mix to double up the triggers, and you'll be nuking people left and right.
vrestin, menoptra leader
this commander seems epic and is a one creature army in itself.
I'm looking forward to playing Me, the Immortal. Looking like a fun counters matter commander that isn't just focused +1/+1.
The War Doctor and the 12th Doctor are ones I think you've missed. People have talked about the War Doctor already but demonstrate is very powerful, and under-explored.
Im surprised they didnt mention the 9th doctor. His ability can be fantastic
We'll talk about the Ninth Doctor in our next Commander set review video, coming soon!
Ayyyy I see what you did there
Absolutely, fantastic.
That's exactly what I wanted to write :)
4 mana being “a lot” of mana for a commander is a crazy take
It's not though, at least in my experience. Unless you've got G in identity, getting your commander on the board by turn 3 is really important to execute a game plan.
It's going to be different from group to group, I think. Obviously you can be at a very casual table with big battlecruiser commanders and that is a lot of fun. But even my decks, which I would say are at most 7s, really really want the commander out by turn 3.
How the EDH had fallen, from cruiser centric to “4cc is a lot”.
this is what happens with the people from the tournament scene stick around and CEDH being a thing.
yeah... I am going to go through my wrexial deck and revamp it with about 15 rocks and find some dark ritual black market type effects so I can make the deck playable at most tables even if it won't win... just want cthulhu
@@Threeve703i play ovika, its like a 7 mana commander, deck is an easy 8 in power, I also play jadzi in high power, high cmc doesnt matter as much as you think if you have the ramp/rituals
Really surprised I didn't see the War Doctor here. His ability is actually really, really scary. Prof's Shuffle up and play episode showed how scary he can be.
Didn’t Gavin misplay WD’s triggered ability though? Since the card says “one or more cards” and “put a time counter” for the exile clause, it should just get a time counter per triggering instance. If it was supposed to get X time counters where X is the number of cards exiled, shouldn’t the text read “Put that many counters on this card”?
@@MarineS0n2 he actually mentioned the ruling on it when he first started shenanigans
@@kawikamyers7320 Yeah unless the card got an errata that's not showing up anywhere, Gavin misread the card and stated the ability incorrectly. No blame to the guy, I finally read that the creatures from Victimize come in tapped after playing the card for 2 years.
@@MarineS0n2 huh. turns out reading the card correctly is what helps you understand the card
@@MarineS0n2 It has to do with how "exile until" works. You aren't exiling multiple cards at once like with Farewell which says "exile all" or an effect that gives a specified number, like Grasp of Fate. Instead, you're exiling cards one at a time sequentially because there's an in between "check" step for the effect of cards like Ryan Sinclair to see if they meet whatever the "until" criteria is. Each exiled card triggers War Doctor's first effect.
The Master, Multiplied is pretty terrifying ngl
Yes. Because maths.
Scute Swarm as a commander? Don't mind if I do
Really fun thing about "the master, multiplied" is if you run him in grixis, with jon irenicus, you can gift goaded copies of the master that cannot be sacrificed to your opponents. Which gets even sillier.
Silly, yes.
Helpful, not in the least. The goad only applies to the initial token you gifted, not any generated by myriad.
All their myriad copies will keep the "cannot be sacrificed" but though. Not the best consolation prize for making them smack you over and over again.
@@violeth2255 I said it was silly, I didn't say it was the best strategy ever. Just slowly turn everyone's strategy into a slug fest and whomever wins wins
I think the face of boe has a ton of potential. It makes a lot of suspend cards pure value.
But how do we win with it? I love the idea too!
@@RequiesAeternaGamingA classic spellslinger build can really rock with it, or even stuff with a Glimpse of Tomorrow.
like cascade
He’s certainly unique but sadly straightforward and boring. Just shove all the best suspend cards and then cast them once per turn. Yawn.
There has to be something to Intruder Alarm + Boe
Your fun lore bit for the Beast is that he's the ACTUAL Christian Satan in Doctor Who 😂 so the 6/6 with 6 counters is fun design.
Weird that it’s a demon and not a devil though eh?
WELL, that’s implied in the episode but it isn’t stated.
Not the Christian Satan.
By the episode's explanation, the Beast came first and inspired the stories of Satan-like figures in nearly every culture in the universe.
In other words, just like Humans look Time Lord since the Time Lords came first, so too does Satan look like the Beast.
just gonna smash the mishra, necron, and villains precons together. Seems good
That’s a decklist I’d like to see
For Ashad, you can add Mishra Eminent One in the 99 that animates a non creature artifact and makes a mishra's warform which is a 4/4.
I wasint going to look at this set at all... BUT THE MASTER, MULTIPLIED? I can get behind that 100%
Anyone else counting down the minutes until the set releases and we can get our hands on the Doctor Who decks? I have mine all pre-ordered and can't wait to build all my doctor who decks! I want to do one for each doctor. I would be what Jimmy described as a Doctor Who Fanatic lol
But what about their companions? That just adds so many options!
@kawikamyers7320 yeah I am still deciding on how I want to do the companions for each, but going to try my best to stay true to the show for each one
Finally, Six gets the recognition he deserves.
Boo! Colin Baker
@@bobjr4502 Boo to you too, Bob Jr.!
@@KingLofiOne bro is the literal sixth doctor
Mirror March go brrr with The Master Multiplied
Some great things to do with River Song:
Junktroller/Reito Lantern type effects to recycle cards easily, since you'll be drawing those cards immediately.
Scry effects to look at cards you'd not be drawing anyway, then put things you do want to draw to the bottom.
Future Sight/Reality Chip type effects to essentially have an additional card in hand, since you aren't drawing from the top that card will be there for a while.
Brainstorm/Scroll Rack effects to tuck cards from your hand you don't want on top where you won't re-draw them.
Impulsive draw effects getting you cards from the top that you wouldn't have drawn otherwise.
Teferi's Puzzle Box is actually quite good with River, _because_ your hand stays the same but your opponents' don't. This way, you get to keep your crafted hand while your opponents always have ever changing hands that they can't plan ahead with.
War Doc is definitely my favourite pick from the decks!
38:10 to pass away eyes everywhere you MUST have blue mana. So if you give it to the nonblue player they have some problems
The War Doctor is the coolest Cmdr from this set.
Spoilers on River Song is absolutely an amazing ability btw, you guys missed Hive Mind:/ Also something like a Locust God with Teferi’s Puzzle Box or Warp World is a win condition. The only problem I have with her is deciding whether to run the Infinite Turns nonsense or if that’s too strong…
Excited for doctor or time lord tribal. All 15 doctors and some time lords
Super excited to build around The Rani. I think she works great with cards that have Bargain, to use those Clues and Enchantments in different ways. Plus Lich-Knights’ Conquest is a way to get rid of all the Mark of the Rani tokens if you get down to 1v1
The Master, Formed Anew is aristocrat combo city. It it exiles a persist and an undying creature with him then you just get infinite death triggers. Also, Gitaxian Puppeteer and Cavalier of Night just combo by themselves with him because their death triggers reanimate themselves. I think he is very slept on.
River seems like a good combo deck plus she hates on tutors. That sounds like a pretty good cedh deck to me!
Cultist of the absolute might be cool with the master multiplied. No downside and 1 mana to make him big and evasive
Mutate could be really fun with The Master, Multiplied to get even more value.
Field of Ruin forces each opponent to search for a basic land. Other than that green, black and white are the colors that can force library searching.
I think you can do the River Song + Timestream Navigator combo without haste, so long as you activate it on your upkeep. Granted it has to survive one round at the table first, but upkeep before drawing, you activate her, put her on the bottom, then draw her for turn and replay her. On your next turn you do the same thing.
You'll be locked out of card draws for those extra turns, but it could theoretically still work for you if you've got stuff set up already.
In sure Izzet will find SOME way to draw more than one card a turn
putting eleventh in the thumbnail and then not talking about him... i get hes not strong but was so hoping some combo had been worked out for my favourite doctor :P
Use him to cast low cost creatures that need haste to be good, Magus of Balance and Timestream Navigator come to mind. Magus of the Mind is also a personal fav. Enjoy!
I just don't see The Face of Boe doing much. The idea of those strong spells banned everywhere sounds nice, but you actually have to do a lot of work to get them out with casting your 4 drop, wait a turn, than you can do it. I just think it's better to suspend the cards like normal than have 9/10/Amy removing time counters
The War Doctor with Ryan Sinclair has crazy value.
I’m so glad you went over The Master Multiplied because I had no idea his potential, but once you talked about it, I got just so excited! Rakdos is one of my favorite color combinations, but I have never made a Rakdos deck, so glad I have a super cool and unique one to try out. I also made a deck of Tenth Doctor and Rose with The Face of Boe in the 99. He’s a great character and Commander, so I can see myself easily just tweaking my deck a bit to try him out sometime.
In regard to Ashad, the Lone Cyberman: It's important to note that, if you happen to have a token doubler (Annointed Procession, Doubling Season, etc), this effect does not interact. In previous cards that make copies of spells on the stack that resolve as tokens, you are not actually creating any tokens. I've seen several people play previous cards with this copy effect incorrectly.
Edit: They point this out near the end while talking about the 6th Doctor.
In regards to Jimmy's comment on Missy: It is true that turning a Morph creature face-up is a special action that does not use the stack. The triggered ability when it's turned face-up does go on the stack. This is the first opportunity for priority to pass and players to take actions.
For the face of boe, you could play ranar the ever watchful and intruder alarm
I like the idea of River making your opponent give up on replacement searches because because of the damage.
Me, the immortal makes counters on her effectively stickers. Funny enough stickers can give her even more benefits with setting her base power/toughness, then increased by any +1 counters
for 26:47 River Song...did you all forget Opposition Agent and how much the searching came up? , fetch lands for one
Petition for the next GameKnights intro to be doctor who style
no mention of Hive Mind as a way to force people to scry/search/surveil for River Song?
I feel like everyone underplays how silly Jaxis the troublemaker is for the Master multiplied. it always gets brought up as just another clone enabler but it's better than that. She gives them the Blitz text, meaning the tokens spawned off her have it too. so if somehow someone mounts a comeback against your army (board wipe, enough good blockers ect) you've just drawn a card for each myriad spawned from her one clone potentially keeping you in the game
One finisher I think would be good with rani and helps with one of goad’s biggest weakness which is 1v1 scenarios is brudiclad because if I remember, aura’s that you attach to opponent’s creature are still controlled by you so what you can do is turn all of the auras and clues into either the myr token brud makes or a better token and use it to attack the last opponent.
got baited by the eleventh doctor being in the thumbnail, but not in the episode, lol
So many fun new Commanders with unique abilities! And so many of those Commanders going into my existing decks to make them even more fun! I'm looking forward to seeing all the new decks at my LGS in the future!
Shocked Kelpie Guy (Guide) was not mentioned as an all star for The Face of Boe.
River Song deck focused on finding the 12th Dr then demonstrating scry, surveil, etc.
Face of Boe seems like a fun deck. I'm just not sure how you WIN with it.
Our thoughts exactly!
I wish that they made a captain jack harkness card to go along side of the face of boe. Don't know what he would do, except maybe make any spell go into suspend instead of the graveyard.
that would be a really good ability for his flavor, actually.
If he dies or is exiled you could put face of boe into suspend from your deck and vice-versa. I reckon he’d be indestructible, + your other ability you mentioned.
Ashad is going straight into OG Mishra for me. The trick with Mishra is to do stuff like Nether Void, where every cast spell is countered but you can reanimate the countered artifacts you cast. Ashad is another avenue for that.
Sounds to me like Jimmy doesn't like Land destruction or extra turns. So much so that he didn't read River correctly
I wont listen to you and build around the second part of river song. :P
Do it! Best of luck!
DR WHO AND PLANECHASE that makes so much SENSE
I'm not sure if you mentioned it but The Rani puts the mark auras on "another target creature", so you can stack those +2/+2's on your own creatures instead of opponents. (Like when your are down to 2 players.)
The Beast is sick in Henzie "toolbox" Torre
I could see the Fifth doctor be a convoke deck as well, where you tap your creature to convoke a stronger one then all those creatures untap and get stronger
No love for The 13th Doctor + Yasmin Khan? There is a lot of support for "cast from exile" now, and there is a lot of support for "cast from top of your library". Most of these already provide you some advantage, but here you also get +1/+1 counters and untaps!
missy looks the best. i hadn't really delved into the deckist i just kind of wanted the marked by mara for my sauron deck
Face of Boe could make good use of a Bomberman combo as a wincon, subbing Lotus Bloom for LED and adding a Jeskai Ascendancy. Doesn't cost a lot of deck slots and all the pieces have some good utility
It's a little slow, but I kind of adore Mishra's Self-Replicator in Ashad. Stacking your on-cast triggers to pay 1, make a copy of the Self-Replicator and immediately sac it to the Casualty 2? Tasty.
I think Vrestin, Menoptra Leader is super fun, I’ve been playing him, and he’s been overperforming EVERY time
If you want to go big with river song's second ability play Hive Mind and force each opponent to copy all your surveil, scry, and search spells. It gets big and crazy fast!
Plus it may not be super efficient its super fun lmao
Creatureless riversong with proteus staff if funny. Don't even run the navigator, that way you are safe letting her tuck into your deck, then just stacking your full deck.
Breach the Multiverse and Shadow of the Enemy from March of the Machine and LOTR respectively are very good in a beast, deathless prince deck as well for big plays late in the game, maybe in the 2nd or 3rd cast of him if you cant get him to stick around for some reason
I'm really excited to add ashad and master multiplied in my mishra eminent one deck
"Alot of the cards we'll be talking about today are four mana and up, so you want alot of good ramp in that kinda deck."
Christ, back in my day the average commander was six mana.
Im sure you guys have already seen a comment like mine a million times, but you can do a polymorph/chaos strategy with river song. Using cards like chaos warp, it makes an opponent shuffle
I’m making an Eleventh Doctor with Amy Pond deck about time counters, probably won’t be good, but I’m hoping it’ll be fun!
The Bant sagas deck needs displaced dinosaurs. Historic spells become 7/7 Dinosaurs
I’d say the Fugitive Doctor has potential, discard some crazy big spell and flash it back for only 4 mana seems good.
Yessssss, 40:50 threaten commander I love it
master multiplied just makes me excited
i feel like you throw a small aristocrats package in the master multiplied to punish board wipes
With missy, and the infinite reveals and does triggers, once the creature becomes a Cyberman it doesn't stop when it's turned face up so it'll be an artifact when you sacrifice it and won't trigger missy. Right?
Love the beast, deathless prince.. another added build to my rakdos deck, 🤩👍💀🔥
Super excited to build Me, The Immortal
river song is great with the demonstrate cards
Isnt there a boros one that is insane also?
When you try to untap a creature with stun counter on it, it doesn't untap, just remove a counter instead.
So excited for Missy Morphin' Time
Does the 6th doctor work with urea’s saga? I didn’t think you were casting it.
See i would agree with you but i prefer to use 5 with peri brown to get access to convoke for my historic cards and then untap at the end of turn to maintain a wall of defensive creatures. Also cost wise i think that the 1 mana gained from susan is seriously outclassed by having an easy convoke plus untap to effectively provide an extra card without mana any mana cost once you have a large enough board
So question if you equip bloodthirster with blade of selves doesn’t that just give infinite combats? Because the myriad tokens wouldn’t leave so they would have their own triggers?
Not infinite since bloodthirsty can’t attack the same opponent twice. But you’d get 3 combats and do a lot of damage
Face of Boe as commander, could try ignite memories for a win condition.
Love the sets power level
35:04 Field of ruin isn't a may.
Yep. It's the only forced search I could find in Izzet.
I definitely made this post, then glazed over when you actually mentioned it while doing a scryfall search for cards that cause forced searches. Woops 😂 @@commandcast
I'd be interested in hearing opinions on Reito Sentinel and River from anyone who brews. I'm not really an izzet player, but I'm thinking about all the recursion the Sentinel could provide her. The fact that you just have to pay 3 to set up your draw means you are almost always going to get your cards back when you want them. Get enough mana and you never lose. But maybe Sentinel isn't as good as I think?
Surprised you dident pick up on the from the ashes templating. It's for each land they may search - *not* they may search for one per land destroyed. As such its a trigger per land. Its also all simultaneous, so people have to decide how many lands to fetch before you stack her triggers. If your the threat, and decide to search up three, I might then make a deal with the river player to search for more, in exchange for my triggers resolving first, potentially causing you to take a whole host of surprise damage maybe even lethal (remember, you could even search more times than you have basics).
It's honestly almost an auto include just for the political kill potential.
I want to build the sixth docter, making 3 of elish Norns seems like a lot of fun
A face of Boe win con? Arc Blade is on flavor, plus if you're using the Refrain spells and their ilk, how about Passionate Archeologist?
I didn't know about passionate archeologist that seems insane for 10/Rose. The primary reason being you have 2 commanders for double the damage. Use with Clara instead and suddenly it's 3 triggers
5th Doctor is going into my Shorikai Deck lol
I like Boe with Intruder Alarm.
I was thinking Chakram Retriever but this is a better idea.
5 color Time Lord tribal with Rukarumel, Biologist. That is all
Kinda wish you covered Davros as a dragon's approach commander
I feel that the War Doctor is easily the most powerful card from the set, he's insane
Is cyber controller and Ashnods alter a great combo?
Beast defo going in my belacore deck
The War Doctor is INSANELY powerful.
Does the master multiplied work with unearth?
Missy looks fun
i really love the beast as an idea for a deck.... but i am already brewing a durin's bane deck and have a scorpion god deck... i don't want to have 3 rakdos decks...... but i'm probably going to... i am just going to "that grixis player" at my lgs soon between my decks
does blade of selves stack myriad with The master?
