  • @GuyFromCanada
    @GuyFromCanada 4 месяца назад +17

    I have a Niv Supreme deck, and it's fun and pretty strong. I play it more like a control deck. Keep people off your butt until you can get Niv out, and then all of the removal and card draw in your bin that has essentially a free extra cast. The cards that help a lot are the Eidolon cycle from Dissension; they return to your hand when you cast a multicolour spell. So as long as you have one in your hand, you basically just have flashback.
    Stormkiln artist and Widespread Thieving also help, as they essentially reduce all your spells mana by 1. Then my win cons are General Ferrous, 4C Aragorn, Young Peezy/Hero of Precinct One, or Mana Cannons.
    Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't bring it to a cEDH table, but it's one of my favourite commanders and I wanted to share lol.

      Would Aetherflux work with your deck? What about Birgi and Urabrask, or would they not work because they only make red mana? Vadrik could be good too, but only if your deck has a lot of generic mana costs, which is probably not very common with multicolour spells

  • @dreaik
    @dreaik 4 месяца назад +10

    Congrats on the 10k!
    I have a Niv Supreme deck that I absolutely love to play, and a thing that made the jumpstart pretty good is the eidolon cycle that comes back to your hand when you cast a multicolor spell, so you can discard them for the cost and get em back with the same spell. Some things like jeskai ascendancy + dorks that care about color, the 4c Aragorn and the new Lilah also work wonders.

  • @MageSkeleton
    @MageSkeleton 4 месяца назад +3

    This was a really cool video. The only reason i dislike dungeons is because it's a token your using a token to keep track of where you are in the token. And when your deck is built around moving that token as fast as possible and there's multiple different dungeons you can pick from but you can only do one it's hard to keep track of where the token was and play around it. The initiative, while attempting to fix the mechanic failed to do so.
    Other than that, it would be nice if WotC leaned on Experience Counters and/or Energy type mechanics.
    When WotC did Brothers War, i though the "Powerstone Token" was going to continue being a "mainstay" as it allowed players to better compete. i was sad it was just another "set gimmick."
    Again, really cool video, really nice to get other perspectives. And thank you for your time reading this.

    My background deck is ellyn harbreeze, busbody and master chef. Deck is super flavorful (heh) and you can shove a ton of lord of the rings cards in there because almost every hobbit makes food or wants food. I also have it built around folk hero and descendant's path, which is pretty easy when over half my creatures are hobbits which are usually halflings/peasants. Also, academy manufactor is an insane card.

  • @otterfire4712
    @otterfire4712 4 месяца назад +1

    If you're looking for some Background Commanders, I have a couple I've been thinking about.
    Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward (White) with Master Chef (Green) or Far Traveler (White). I like Master Chef Abdel for the capacity to be this pseudo flicker system and wide token boards. Having Green with Chef gives a lot of ramp and doubling of both tokens and counters.
    Imoen, Mystic Trickster (Blue) and Agent of the Shadow Thieves (Black) is something I want to try to do as this rogue focused deck with dungeons as a subset to generate value. Rogues are pretty decent at picking up initiative and Imoen's draw value is alluring to me. I've brought this idea to my friends and their perspective was that there are better colors for dungeons and that the value generated from Imoen is too slow.
    One Background Commander I've heard about and I'd like to build is Erinis, Gloom Stalker (Green) with Street Urchin (Red), Erinis's deathtouch blends perfectly with Street Urchin to be cheap creature removal to be a Gruul control deck. Erinis can fetch back artifact lands which you can use as reusable ammo.
    And one Background Commander I've seen used brilliantly was Burakos, Party Leader (Black) with Guild Artisan (Red) as this Treasure Party aggro deck. It was pretty neat, swinging to gain anywhere from one to six Treasures, Cranial Plating was devastating in the early stages. Though the deck kind of petered out once the table picked away at his cards and recasting the commander became steep.

    I feel called out with a phrase “its not just lords and attacking”. Since three humans decks I own, do have those properties. But they also dont shy away completly from interaction packages, as well as staxy creatures. Main purpose of those decks is to give an ass kick to “Im just playing for fun” battlecruiser players, rather than being complex. Faster decks usually reveal glaring problems in people’s decks, that otherwise would be overlooked.

    Same, man. The push for monetization of people who are not already playing the game/have no interest in the game is diluting the game. Same with something I know you mention in another video later too - pushing "designed for commander" cards in non-commander-exclusive sets/products (i.e. TOR and Nadu). Designing everything with commander as one of the primary foci is hurting the game, and it needs to change.
    Gotta disagree on the Horizons sets though - not *all* of those cards are a problem... just several of them. 😂 😭

    Thank you for answering my question :) through hard experience I did find decks that fall over at the slightest push boring. (One example that I built was P Bridge flip into Ink Treader) and one positive way to fix that was to add interaction that can be disruptive for your opponents but also flexible to protect your fragile strategy. I added more artifact and enchantment removal in a graveyard, since most graveyard hate tends to show up there ( example: caustic caterpillar in a Meren deck) but that still leaves me removal for artifact decks

    • @IvanKolyada
      @IvanKolyada 4 месяца назад +1

      Abaddon from WH40000 release can be both “folds to removal” or “solid midrange with chaos blessings involved” - its just a matter, of how much do you focus on your CMD. But some commanders “VOLTRON” are to focused on their commander. Nice to play with it from time to time, but not on a regular basis.

    • @conorhilts5067
      @conorhilts5067 4 месяца назад

      @IvanKolyada yeah I completely agree, voltron is definitely commander reliant, but they also usually pack alot of protection. One of my favorites was group hug voltron with Xyris. I think a cool way to make it more interesting tho is have the majority of the deck be equipment and occasionally switch out commanders whenever you feel bored. For example you could just run Ardenn and flip through so many different partners. Go from Akiri to Anara, to Armix to whomever

  • @fsfreturns5242
    @fsfreturns5242 2 месяца назад

    Ideas for Background commanders... One I've built is Karlach/Veteran Soldier. When getting those 1/1 soldiers from Veteran Soldier, they come tapped, but the extra combat ability of Karlach makes them untap. While they don't have inherent haste, they certainly can put out a good job as chumpblockers. Another one I considered building for PDH was Halsin/Inspiring Leader. There are plenty of ways to get tokens in Selesnya, and the sheer absurdity of having a food token suddenly becoming a 6/6 bear on block is funny on its own.
    One last recommendation is Alora/Hardy Outlander. When attacking with Alora in play, you can make one creature unblockable at the cost of returning it back to your hand at the beginning of the next end step. Hardy Outlander makes it so while attacking with Alora, another creature has double power. Then I remember a card from Commander 2018 called "Hydra Omnivore", which would reaaaally benefit from such combination. And there are many ways to buff creatures in Simic, too !

    Noble Heritage + Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer = a "give your opponents creatures to punch themselfs".
    Agent of the Shadow Thieves + Wilson, Refined Grizzly = aggro deck, but i gues you can also play infect
    Scion of Halaster + Zellix, Sanity Flayer = a mill deck
    Halsin, Emerald Archdruid + Guild Artisan = tokens are bears.
    and some things that didnt work out for me but i still like the idea:
    Wilson, Refined Grizzly + Flaming Fist = aggro and with alot of things that give lifelink.
    Popular Entertainer + Rasaad yn Bashir = big buts dont lie
    Agent of the Shadow Thieves + Wyll, Blade of Frontiers = rolling dices
    Sword Coast Sailor + Karlach, Fury of Avernus = a fair extra turn/combat deck (so only the background is ok).
    Cloakwood Hermit + Shadowheart, Dark Justiciar = anthems/make them big.
    Tavern Brawler + Sarevok, Deathbringer = as a burn deck (i allready have more then enough decks like that^^)
    Haunted One + Skanos Dragonheart/Burakos, Party Leader/Zellix, Sanity Flayer = a tipal deck, depending on your creature commander.

  • @stevenwilson5947
    @stevenwilson5947 4 месяца назад

    As an avid DND player, I really liked the idea of the backgrounds so I've built several different commander/bg combos. My favorite by far though is my Wilson deck. It's a core of 60 green/colorless cards that can be shuffled into 1 of 4 different colored backgrounds. Each color BG plays different (Blue: Blink, White: +1/+1 counters, Black: Reanimator, Red:Burn) so it's like having 4 unique decks in one. I highly recommend trying something like this because it was a really satisfying deck building challenge. Just be sure to roll a d4 to decide which background you'll choose each game for maximum flavor.

    So what do you think is the right amount of commander decks someone should have, so that every deck gets its playtime but also you got a good amount of variety in terms of powerlevel/archtypes?
    And what is your opinion on using proxies overall? I get both sides because playing the game you love should be the focus and if money ist what is stoping you from enjoying it why not? Otherwise i also can understand, that this may lead to people just putting in every good card they can find. But for me i like the idea to "get" more Decks without spending thounsands of euros but still contain my powerlevel i built my decks.

    On the topic of backgrounds, they are cool but the enchantments literally do nothing when your commander isn’t in play (by design) so they feel way worse than partners.

    I paired Erinis with Veteran Soldier to build Flagstones_Of_Trokair.deck. Not as controlly as the Gruul version, it’s more of a land recursion/combat/tokens list, but you do get to play with weird cards like Aura Fracture, Abolish and Indrik Umbra and triple your fetches with Cosmic Intervention. Partner decks are also probably the best place to run those lieutenant-type cards, so that could be another cool reason to build a background deck.

    Picked up a Debt of Loyalty... It being more than $5 and quite specific makes sense as to why it's not played as much, but it's such a cool card and as far as I can tell hasn't been reprinted. So... You convinced me. I've already been playing Shadowgrange and Shugeki. The blue one might be next, because split second really gives it the edge, but as for Bedlam... Not sure I'm up to that. You gotta be hyperaggro and hope you're not up against pillow fort and goad. Because then you're in a lot of trouble. I like Heat Stroke, because it works in an aggro deck and punishes opponents from blocking or even attacking if you've gone wide enough.

    I have a Background Commander! Renari, Merchant of Marvels + Acolyte of Bahamut is a really fun way to do dragon tribal in my opinion, it also aligns pretty well with the "draw, go" style of gameplay that you said you're a fan of.

    Honestly I would love to see a video of ground up EDH Deck building; being able to see the thought process of another person from start to finish would make for a nice marathon binge watch, and would be really insightful to where my own thinking lands in comparison to others. Especially if the video/stream was rather raw and was without the prettying up of quick edits and cuts in the decision making process.

    Livaan Cultist of Timat with Dragon Cultist background is my favorite mono red deck I've ever made! Instead of doing low cost burn spells I went high and kept all instance and sorcery 5 or above mana wise while using burn spells that can have any target and avoiding ones that do damage to everything.

    What tribe do you feel deaerves more support and what would you have their niech and style be? I imagine since you're rating every Legendary creature ever that you'll have a long list. Also, how do you feel about tribes in general. I just recently learned that not everybody likes them and i was shocked since theyre my favorite type of deck.
    For me probably Spiders. Its an easy archetype yet they're way too mana demanding and just dont usually have much going for them. Id really like to see them become a powerhouse of their own sort.

    Current favorite deck is my background commander pair of erinis, gloom stalker and candlekeep sage. Its a simic self mill list, and it uses keruga as the companion to churn out a ton of card draw when needed. Honestly i cant get enough of this deck, as its so insanely strong and i love my hippo overlord. Erinis flys under the radar so easily, and its by turn 7 you tend to run out of targets in deck for your fetch lands (i run 19 basics btw) 2:09

      Chromium the mutable is a stompy wincon for esper control, look at the UG+x color big creatures, they will probably be quite able to support both archetypes at the same time...also try Uro, cheat it into play and either ramp to big spells while countering stuff or use fight spells with that big boi to remove a creature

    I think a fun background deck idea would be Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer with Noble Heritage. It should mostly focus on making Baeloth big to keep everyone's stuff goaded, and then swinging in with Baeloth when he gets big enough. It's a deck I've been wanted to make for a bit (especially because I have no Group Hug decks and rlly want to try it) but I've just been too focused on my Anzrag aggro deck.
    Also, congrats on 10k

    Suggestions for Background Commanders:
    Erinis Gloom Stalker - Street Urchin. AKA Halfling with a gun: A Gruul Control deck keeping your opponents creatures in check by shooting them Erinis and also Land Recursion shenanigans.
    Vhal Candelkeep Mystic - Tavern Brawler, set up as a Morph/Foretell deck. You can use Vhal Mana to Foretell and help flip Morphs as well as play Cards exiled with Tavern Brawler. There are better ways to build Vhal (usually very infinite Mana combo stuff), but Morph/Foretell is quite fun.

    As a possible suggestion for a background commander pairing, I’d strongly suggest looking at pairing Haunted One with something! Tribal decks can be a little stale and samey, but having haunted one in the command zone can really turn it on its head and give smaller tribes some more staying power.
    I brewed Vhal / Haunted One, and the brainstorming process went waaaay deeper than I expected it to. It adds a surprising amount of nuance to kindred stuff.
