It had been a few years since I played MTG (Scute Swarm bs tilted me out of Arena), brand-new to Commander. Such a fun format. My first two decks were built entirely off the premise of drawing more cards and/or lands because I'm tired of my terrible luck crushing me. The lantern card looks like a gem I didn't know about, thanks!
Ramp is something that gives you more mana than you would get from playing 1 land a turn. So either an artifact or creature that taps for mana or something that puts more lands into play
@@thetrinketmageI feel like making a playlist for beginners that know nothing about card games in general would be cool. Since if it was made in one video it would probably be extremely long
sounds like pretty good numbers to me... i would go up to 40 lands personally, maybe 38 + 2 mdfc lands. and i probably wouldn't run so much spot removal, maybe 5 or 6 max, just to leave a little more room for the fun stuff! great video though
I would personally play about double the amount of removal, but that's just my 1v1 player tendencies, outside of that, the numbers are pretty accurate.
Why did you choose the number 37 for your land count ? I see the guys from command zone picking 36, as well as Brian Kibler (the guy from Commander at home, former pro of Standard) Have a nice day, nice video
Hey when it comes to draw cards I think of them in two categories; instantaneous(one time instants/sorceries) and draw engines(permeants that draw on condition). When looking to put 10+ draw cards do you consider them the same or one more important then the other?
I'm a novice to Commander, but my instinct is to lean on low-cost card draw more so that it's accessible early in the match and have a few reliable card draw engines. Add some cards that let you search for them, or at least recycle if they get blown up. That way, you are statistically more likely to pull something letting you draw some cards once to then get yourself off the ground, and eventually you'll get that more expensive card draw engine that'll sustain you from there.
Thanks for the help! I'm shocked by the view count, this is really well put together
Thanks that means a lot!

I want to personally apologize as selesnya lifegain scute-swarm was the most fun ive ever had with a deck
@@MemeOmega It's okay, you were hardly the only blight in the hellscape of MTG
@@danielpayne1597 lord knows every good deck comes at the cost of the sanity of your fellow man
@@MemeOmega I wish Wizards would stop printing "you don't get to play the game" cards.
If I’m a beginner I’m not going to know terms like “ramp”
Ramp is something that gives you more mana than you would get from playing 1 land a turn. So either an artifact or creature that taps for mana or something that puts more lands into play
@@thetrinketmage thanks👍
@@MildTabascofries One day I make something more thorough for beginners that will cover all these terms

@@solidgryphon7406 that might be an easier thing to do, a series instead of one massive hour long vid
Nice outline. I think this would be helpful for beginners.
Thanks!

Thanks! And maybe I should’ve talked about MDFC cards as their own section or something since they are so good and can change the land count!
Love the video and the presentation, thanks 👍

I think that 1 card limit in edh is just a formality. it doesnt prevent people from playing optimal builds.
Rule 1: Net-Deck a deck with power level of 9
Rule 2: Claim that your deck has power level of 7
Rule 3" Deny that you Net-Decked
magic has an answer for that, I just haven't figure it out yet

it just become a deck you can't beat, there is no other answer for that, but decks are always evolving also
i think you should chance upon those cards
i am looking the casting cost of beast within, it's a little high for my taste.
Commander Sounds so stressful and expensive. I stay with standard for a while. At least until the set I started with rotates out
win condition may be secondary than who builds the coolest deck
if one guy wants to put 10 lighting bolts in his deck, he is just gona get laughed at
I thought any planeswalker could be a commander 😂

it would be difficult to replicate a win condition if everyone builds form specific decks
What's ramp? Like, a land searcher?
In a way. Basically card affect that allow u to put more land or get more energy in general
