While I picked up this deck for all the hype around K'rrik, I'm really glad (Miss) Anje has stood the test of time. So much fun to play, making a mechanic otherwise overlooked in commander really fun and genuinely competitive!
I bought this deck for my daughter and a precon for myself at the same level, I think this video might get her into building her own, so now I can play my jank. Everything was very well explained. Thanks!
Bruh. I’ve been waiting for this for forever. I’ve been maiming Anje for almost a year now bc I love the mechanics you can use with her. I have already done a ton of research on decks with her but when I saw this I had to watch it.
Yeah this is what I loved about Commander Quarters earlier videos. Easy UI for Card viewing, quick explanation of the combos, FAST talking and bad puns. I also like the premise of using the EDHrec Average Deck. There are all the staples already included which do not need to be explained. Nice format.
Thank you for the video. I had had some trouble with how much reanimation I should include in the deck, because I had seen the worldgorger combo, and I didn’t know what other win con to use. The stuff with glint horn, brallin, konrad, etc seems way more fun and fair to me!
I like how having such a high madness creature count essentially decreases your deck size, letting you find what you need the sooner you start utilizing your commander. I love this build!
I don't play Miss Anjie, but I loved the references. Edit: I'm gonna build this deck so I can say "Miss Anjie, Miss Anjie, Miss Aaaaaaaanjie" everytime I play her.
I am building an Anje deck (I found the precon). I've never played magic before so I hope the madness mechanic isn't too overwhelming but I'm really looking forward to playing my first game. Been doing a ton of research and this video was super helpful, thanks!
Love this. It got so many interesting new cards in recent sets it’s worth a fresh take on the list. I bought the precon and made a Kr’rik deck, but the Anje deck always felt underpowered and I didn’t want it to be a glass cannon Worldgorger combo deck because my pod runs too much instant speed removal and once they know how the combo works they’ll just hold up mana to make sure I get disrupted. Not fun for anyone at the table… Living Death, Twilights Call and even a Rise of the Dark realms are a really fun way to win with this deck, and if you can simultaneously drain your opponents from discard and wheel effects then if they exile your graveyard you still have a shot!
3:45-4:30 is truly excellent. I really like how you articulated CDH and why you decided to not use the infinite combo and even recommended those interested seek it out. My only criticism would be to provide a recommendation on where to go. But that's being picky and digging deep. As always great job on the deck.
I've been building all of my recent decks to swap in and out combos for different power levels and play groups. This Anje deck is my most ambitious: swapping in and out 10 cards to allow both the Worldgorger combo or a Balthor/Living Death reanimation plan: archidekt.com/decks/1485479#Back_From_The_Brink
Sent this to my friend he will love it. He recently got Worldgorger Dragon and Animate Dead. Do you think you will do one for Gahiji, honoured one some time? Thanks for the great series
Can you do a video on Breena, the demagouge? I want to build her but I don't know what the win conditions would be. Thanks Joey for making these videos!
hmmm... interesting. While I am a combo player at heart, I think this might be more fun, I'll have the WGD combo pieces on the side if I switch the deck over to cEDH. to add living death was interesting, I was sure you would have added rise of the dark realms, that way you get everyone's creatures :) but maybe you can add that too.
Pretty cool. Moving away from the combo is pretty obvious because the high power combo deck is probably already pretty solved by the high power community so doing a lower powered upgrade is cool. I wonder if Surly Badgersaur is worth a look. It would probably get pretty big with all the creatures you're trying to discard and can be decent removal with the fight ability when discarding any non-creatures. The land->treasure ability probably won't happen as often but it can be a little bit of extra mana.
Only one recommendation: Library of Leng. If I understand well, that's a really easy way to go discard infinitely the same card, allowing you to get that discard trigger infinitely.
I play Anje with eldrazi and tergrid synergies instead of world gorger combo. It can be brutal for a table to deal with pathrazers and crushers on t4 but most of my time I’m just end of turn madness cycling and digging for oppression and tergrid. Konrad and a mind crank seem like good adds to my list.
Question concerning Syr Konrad. Since madness cards discard into exile, won't they not trigger him unless you choose not to cast them for their madness cost? I realize a good chunk of the madness cards are just there to fuel the draw engine; I just want to confirm how the cards would interact.
So when you Discard a card with MADNESS, it's discarded into exile and you can choose to pay for the madness cost, if you don't the card ends up in the grave upon resolution. So if you Discard a MADNESS card, it gets discarded into exile and if the MADNESS cost isn't payed for it'll end up in the GY
Probably also worth noting that World-Gorger is super, super fragile and can kinda knock you out of the game if your opponents know what they’re doing.
Late to the game, but how is Konrad good if we're going with a madness strategy? Madness throws them to exile, not bin, so he doesn't trigger unless we're not paying the madness--which then defeats the purpose of the madness theme.
@@EDHRECast Hey, quick reply! haha! So, I'm looking and it says "If you discard this card, discard it into exile. When you do, cast it for its madness cost or put it into your graveyard." So, into exile stops the Konrad trigger right? Unless we're trying to just let the madness pass and toss it into the bin? If so, why would we play into a madness strategy? (Love the channel btw, while you're here! :) )
i would recommend Library of Leng. it combos with Glint-Horn Buccaneer and Brallin even if you don't play the worldgorger combo, everyone expects you to.
Unfortunately, Library of Leng only works when effects cause you to discard cards, and does not work when discarding a card is part of the cost to activate an effect.
Boo! You should NOT cut Nightmare Unmaking. Play it a few times and see how often it truly whiffs (my guess? zero). It's one of the most underrated cards of all time!
Kinda a slow boring deck but you explain the deck well and are a great help for deck ideas. I'm not a cedh player but this deck would lose to most precons.
I actually would have liked the vid more if you looked out for the budget Worldgorger combo players. They exist and I got to play with such players before the whole pandemic thing happened.

I’ve been messing with building an Anje deck for awhile.
You’re timing is as always, on point
Bruh. I’ve been waiting for this for forever. I’ve been maiming Anje for almost a year now bc I love the mechanics you can use with her. I have already done a ton of research on decks with her but when I saw this I had to watch it.
I don't even watch Drag Race but the memes are somehow already familiar, this was great.
Thanks for this. I have a non-combo Anje deck and this will really help elevate it
Really good discussion on whether or not to focus on the Worldgorger combo. Great video Joey
I was waiting for the "con'druculations" pun...it never came but loved the video.
LOVE THAT
"ConDRACULAtions" never change Joey, never change
This just brought so much joy (and was helpful). Thank Mr Joeeeyyy
Miss Anje. Miss Aaanje. Miss. Miss Aaaaaanje. *Sashays away

Worldgorger dragon, your time with us was magical...we wish you the best... Now, sashay away!

That Vanjie reference killed me
I don't play Miss Anjie, but I loved the references.

Condragulations on this amazing Upping the Average!
I love Anje, as someone named Áine ( pronounced the same way ) its nice for someone to actually say it right for once XD
I live for the Miss Vanjie references. I wish more people got that one.
Work, sister!!
Miss Vanjie, Miss Vanjie
How did my playgroup missed this, we all watch the race! O_O
I am building an Anje deck (I found the precon). I've never played magic before so I hope the madness mechanic isn't too overwhelming but I'm really looking forward to playing my first game. Been doing a ton of research and this video was super helpful, thanks!
This is Madness!
BIG ANJ, as I call her, is still my favorite commander. Thanks for this!
I've been waiting for this

I'm 100% on board with non-Worldgorger combo of Miss Anje, because I've dedicated that combo to my Kroxa deck!
Sent this to my friend he will love it. He recently got Worldgorger Dragon and Animate Dead.
Do you think you will do one for Gahiji, honoured one some time? Thanks for the great series
Can you do a video on Breena, the demagouge? I want to build her but I don't know what the win conditions would be. Thanks Joey for making these videos!
Thks for the non combo list
Can we get a revamp or this list with all the new cards that could benefit this deckm
hmmm... interesting. While I am a combo player at heart, I think this might be more fun, I'll have the WGD combo pieces on the side if I switch the deck over to cEDH. to add living death was interesting, I was sure you would have added rise of the dark realms, that way you get everyone's creatures :) but maybe you can add that too.
And Twilights Call!
Pretty cool. Moving away from the combo is pretty obvious because the high power combo deck is probably already pretty solved by the high power community so doing a lower powered upgrade is cool.
I wonder if Surly Badgersaur is worth a look. It would probably get pretty big with all the creatures you're trying to discard and can be decent removal with the fight ability when discarding any non-creatures. The land->treasure ability probably won't happen as often but it can be a little bit of extra mana.
I put in Surly Badgersaur n it works really well.
@EDHRECast do you consider to re-do a deckteck for this commander after some years? she is my absolut (V)anje
In place of or alongside could add bathroom the defiled as another mass reanimation effect..
Only one recommendation: Library of Leng.
If I understand well, that's a really easy way to go discard infinitely the same card, allowing you to get that discard trigger infinitely.
Isn't Konrad an anti synergy with Maddness as spells get cast from exile, or is he just there for when we discard a creature but don't cast it
I'd love to see an upping the average of Phelddagrif group hug!
I play Anje with eldrazi and tergrid synergies instead of world gorger combo. It can be brutal for a table to deal with pathrazers and crushers on t4 but most of my time I’m just end of turn madness cycling and digging for oppression and tergrid. Konrad and a mind crank seem like good adds to my list.
Will you do one for the whale wolf Ukkima? Her EDHrec page is incedibly confusing.
Joey referencing madness by muse made my life
Wgd combo and necrotic ooze combo both tuck nicely into anje
Nooze combo doesnt kill you if someone fucks with the combo as well, a huge downside tp worldgorger
My favorite vampire is still Elenda, the Dusk Rose though.
Could you make an elsha the infinate upping the average deck please
Here's hoping that this means there's more of the C19 precon commanders coming up soon. Dare I hope for a Ghired video? :D
I would love to see an episode on Kelsien, the Plague, maybe going into mardu control vs straight deathtouch voltron?
Have you made any updates to this deck with the new cards?
Solid idea not to include worldgorger combo. It also gives you a lot more wiggle room to add cool stuff because worldgorger is almost $15
I came here for the Miss Vanjie reference
You can put phyresis or other infect tech in this deck to make the bralin kills much faster
leyline of the void, living death , revolutionist and a decent sac outlet usually is enough to make them all quit
dammit joey, wrong merciless rage commander!
lol jokes aside, i'm patiently waiting for chainer
Phage the untouchable next!! thx!! :)
My CEDH anje build is scared to see if Joey even suggests cutting a madness card
Update: He did the unthinkable
Joey, Shantay you stay.
can you do new liesa or ayli
Lol good stuff.
I built Anje as a Worldfire deck.
Miss Aaaaaanji
Miss aaaanji
Miss…….. anji…
jajajajajajajjaja
Condraculations! Hahaha!

@@Hashbrown1682 Ok, thank you. I was fairly certain that's how it worked, I just wanted to be sure
I feel like it is bad luck to use Bojuka Bog in a deck if I want to utilize my own graveyard.
Another combo uses ubra mantle btw
Probably also worth noting that World-Gorger is super, super fragile and can kinda knock you out of the game if your opponents know what they’re doing.
39 madness cards is a minimum for Anje
of all commanders picking a combo commander to da a deck tech on. good job....really.
Late to the game, but how is Konrad good if we're going with a madness strategy? Madness throws them to exile, not bin, so he doesn't trigger unless we're not paying the madness--which then defeats the purpose of the madness theme.

This is probably too personal, but do you have kids? Your dad jokes are just too authentic for you to not be a dad
I think that conspiracy theorist would be a nice addition too

@@EDHRECast like darth vader would say: nooooooooo.
i honeslty didn't realize that. shame on me
Playing reanimation cards...Bring back my girls.

Miss anjeeee took me out.

First!
75? i have never seen you grab such a cheap deck. nice
*upping the average*-"51% is the majority, lets not up the 49%"😒
I actually would have liked the vid more if you looked out for the budget Worldgorger combo players. They exist and I got to play with such players before the whole pandemic thing happened.
Stop stealing my video ideas lol
use library of leng thank me later
That's ridiculous lol you really only play low power magic ugh why make this video lmao big fan but damn
Because competitive is no fun for me and anje was my introduction to magic.
that's textbook gatekeeping right there
Plus the competitive way to build is already solved by the cedh community. You can easily look up a decklist for combo worldgorger anje
The shade, the shade of it all!
I guess alienating budget worldgorger combo players is a thing now.
