Any time I see Fynn, it's in the 99 as a way to turn go wide, vomit your deck onto the field, multi-color decks an instant win con. Shelob is a perfect example.
Lagrella is quite fun to play. It feels like a blink/control deck, constantly exiling the opponents best creatures and acquiring value, until you combo off. I appreciate these kind of videos, where we appreciate the uniqueness of a commander instead of how busted it is.
It's a strong alt' win con? You shouldn't play it outright unless you're into that level of hate, but otherwise it's a great way to end people who think they're untouchable.
So, wisdom to share: Firstly, Ink Duelist and the Freezing Flame are both cracked. The former is the king of removal and control; remember, every "Arrest" and "O-Ring" is 3 cmc or lower. The later is the King of Kill Steals, sniping advantage while being useful enough to usually live long enough for a run at first. Secondly, Pauper Commander Zada is insane; budget kills are less quick and consistent, so in that environment she just gets bodies or bodies- there is no middle ground. Thirdly, decks do have back-up commanders- or SHOULD at least. Many of these are amazing at that or as tech. Maybe keep that in mind if you like 'em- or use them to HIDE the real threat. Lorcan(a) helms what was my Tegrid deck to mask her presence 'til it's time; they run near identical hustles, just that one is a 7/7 Flampler and the other is Baba Yega.
0:59 I play a deck with a commander called Tetsuko, which gives creatures with power/toughness 1 or less unblockable. I think it’d be really cool to make a simic deathtouch deck with creatures that are 1/1s.
4:43 oh god this with Aveline from Assassins Creed. She has the ability when a creature with death touch deals damage give that creature x +1/+1 counters where x is the damage that creature dealt to player.
The video is about uniqueness, not fun. Uniqueness is objectively measured, no other commander does what Fynn does, fun is subjective, so your opinion dosn't really matter in this context.
@@gabzsy4924actually your opinion doesn’t matter in this context. He never brought up uniqueness, simply stated that he didn’t have fun with the deck. You’re not the internet police
I made a Pauper commander fynn deck and it easily beats the table if fynn isnt spot removed. to the point we had to nerf poison to make the deck fair. usually winning turn 4 or 5 which against other pauper decks is pretty good.
I use Lagrella in Pauper Commander. Cards like [Oracle of Dust] that put things opponents own from exile into their graveyard is massively hilarious, essentially removing their creatures from coming back whenever Lagrella LTB or Flickers. ALSO, Prototype creatures you own (like [Rust Goliath]), you can cast them for their prototype cost and then flicker them with Lagrella, causing them to ETB as their full version ([Rust Goliath] Prototype cast for 3GG as a 3/5 with reach and trample, upgrades to 10/10 with reach and trample, bypassing 10 cmc cost, in addition to 2 +1/+1 counters from Lagrellas interaction with creatures that ETB under your control with her ability). Easy cost savings. Really fun Pauper Commander, and the deck list I have is only 33$
Kardur sounds awesome, but goading the entire table is going to bring the entire table down on you. His ETB means he only has to show up for him to do his thing. The entire table is going to target you the entire time doing what they can to remove you or doing what they can to prevent you from ever bringing him out. He's a huge gamble.
One amazing card i should point out that works great for Valduk is Throne of Tarkir. Since you’re not attacking with him too often anyway, you can just use him as the mother of all anthem and potentially OHKO the table. Dragon Throne of tarkir very underrated card that many people cut from the deck because it doesnt do enough. With Valduk, it actually can be a wincon in the deck!
Fynn is a poison deck, a common and really bad type of deck to play against... how is it unique ? And a lot of uncommon commanders are not meant for commanders, but for draft archetypes, and some of those archetypes are repeated from set to set. The rest is really interesting and it was a cool video.
Oh yeah, then tell me what other commander does what Fynn does? No one. It's objectively unique. You're just hating because you hate poison decks and that's just your subjective bias that has nothing to do with the uniqueness of said commander.
@@gabzsy4924 you can say that with almost every commander besides the old vanilla ones... Every commander does something 'unique' and different. Some more than others sure... Hokori the dust drinker is also super 'unique' by your standards.
On a serious note, thanks for making these more deck-tech-related videos again!

I actually play Poison Dart frog. If ramps, has reach and you can surprise someone with the deathtouch. They forget about it
Why are you giving people ideas with poison counters?!?! 😒🤣
Like nobody knows about Fynn already...
@@gabzsy4924 why are you defending Fynn so hard bro 😂
@@paradoxpanda1756 i'm not, I don't like the card or his deck overall, in fact (not infect 🤣) I think he's kind of boring. But I do think he's unique.
Need more ways to remove poison counters.

Killian is my commander in an outlaw/committing crime themed deck. Auras and instants to target my opponents creatures for value
Elaborate
Yea this is what i thought of instantly after seeing the creature

I'm building this deck now, started building a week ago. Also bought the Dread Pirate figurine for extra Toxic
This has inspired me to finally build a Moritte deck. I love ramping into big dumb enchantments, why not make more anyway?
4:43 oh god this with Aveline from Assassins Creed. She has the ability when a creature with death touch deals damage give that creature x +1/+1 counters where x is the damage that creature dealt to player.
Fynn is in my Hapatra deck bc I can't afford craterhoof 🤣🤣 basically the same functionality!
Love these videos, love finding unique unpopular commanders.
I have a serialized fynn the fangbearer deck and it might be my favorite deck in all of magic. Deathtouch tribal is so cool and unique
And fun watching people realize you trample over big creatures with your 2's and 3's just killing them and clearing their board
No Rona, Disciple of Gix? I feel betrayed! She is a BOSS!!!
I use Fynn in my Lathril B/G Elf deck. Works wonders with Elderfang Vemon.
yeah he's a great secret commander that you can tutor up and scare the shit out of the whole table lol
Don't forget about golgari creature Tyvar 😊
i have a valduk deck and i agree completely why its on this list, he's absolutely insane
I only run Transformer commanders. Always a fun time seeing peoples' reactions.
Does aegar trigger for spells with deathtouch if the spell did more than 1 damage?
Yes Aegar would trigger, though there are very few ways to give your spells deathtouch
Also, the similarity between our RUclips names is amazing
@joedoe7572 the new judith is what I was thinking of.
@joedoe7572 lol yeah that's funny
@@joehoe24 ooh, as partner commanders?
EDH deck building has such a great channel for this kind of thing! 😅
Blade of selves is my favourite way to re trigger kardur. All 3 seeing the 2 attacking copies die is an instant drain/gain for 6
I built Fynn, played maybe 5 games with it, and broke it up. Any Fynn list is the antithesis of fun.

Gamble in CEDH but casual doesn't have too much awnsers to graveyard recurring/reanimate type effects
Keep in mind Killian's cost reduction only applies if you target a creature
I built a Valduk popper deck and play it in normal games since it is so much fun.
Did you recently get a new camera or upgrade the lighting? Looks great!
My second oldest son chose rishkar as his commander for his nature deck.
My Vohar, Vodalian Desecrator deck is my favorite deck to play
Oh i need you to give us a moritte deck tech. That seems super sweet+
I'm strongly considering throwing Fynn into my Shelob deck tbh
Not every legendary creature is specifically designed for commander. Some are designed to be for draft or standard
I have a Kilian deck but this just made me wanna break it and add teysa and light paws
Currently building 3 of these 😅
Fynn, the fangbearer is the card that made me to restart buying paper MTG after 24 years without buying any.
Sometimes after a game with fynn I feel bad and don't pull him out for months
Loved the list, but I really missed Octavia… :( 🐙x8
Octavia puts in work in my Talrand deck. It's awesome to turn a couple of my 2/2 Drakes into beaters
the first magic deck i ever built was aegar
Anyone else notice almost all of these are from Kaldheim? I think people forget how insanely good that set was.
Put some respect on dart frogs name that card has won me games
One amazing card i should point out that works great for Valduk is Throne of Tarkir. Since you’re not attacking with him too often anyway, you can just use him as the mother of all anthem and potentially OHKO the table.
Dragon Throne of tarkir very underrated card that many people cut from the deck because it doesnt do enough. With Valduk, it actually can be a wincon in the deck!
Works well in my Prossh deck too. _"Go get them all of my little 0/1 kobold minions!"_
Fynn is..not in my opinion. I handle him the same way i handle poison counter commanders.
Player removal.

killian is my guy. My colours
Fynn, the Fangbearer is literally the most popular mono green commander, not very unique.
I made a Fynn deck to play with my friends…I no longer have friends…
Uour friends are dumb. Without the commander fynn decks fall apart.
Magpie OP
There is nothing unique about Fynn... Easily a top 5 most disgusting commanders for casual
Unique and disgusting are Words that work in diferent levels
Both can be true, and in the case of fynn they are lmao
Oh yeah, then tell me what other commander does what Fynn does? No one. It's objectively unique. You're just hating because you hate poison decks and that's just your subjective bias that has nothing to do with the uniqueness of said commander.
@@gabzsy4924 If you replace ''deathtouch'' with ''rats'' you literally get Karumonix

Mitch really talked recently about how much he disliked tribal decks but glazes deathtouch tribal? K bud
YOOO PEDH Any one 🤘🔥
Wow Kaldheim much?
no way in hell fynn is unique
First
First 😂
Never Heartless Hidetsugu... 🥲
