Hey Grazzet, been watching these videos, and they’re great! Whenever you finish with Thunder Junction commanders, I’ve wanted to suggest a possible video series on the beginner commander decks, it would be a fun challenge build to try and make them viable.
Excellent build, as always! Integrating cards with the Initiative was an original way to keep the budget low while making the deck interesting to play! After seeing a few games where Obeka gets immediately and repeatedly targeted with removal, I wonder if adding a few instants to protect her more (in the style of "Not Dead After All" for instance) might make the build more consistent. Great work and I look forward to the next one!
True - getting 3 non-legendary clones of Obeka every time it swings is a fantastic way for the build to generate even more upkeeps for use to use and abuse!
Nice build, was considering building her so seeing some ideas here works good. It's sad that the specific cards (yikes on the Creeping Bloodsucker) are getting so much price hike, but that's the nature of TCGs. Thanks for the video as always.
Glad you enjoyed it! And yeah, I know that price spikes happen but it does seem kind of crazy that almost every single high power cards that was relatively inexpensive 3 months ago is now either barely within budget or outright out of it because of the appearance of a single commander.... Ah well, guess we'll have to wait on reprints....
Dang it, no wonder I barely got time to watch this! She broke it with a punch! Bad puns aside, amazing build as always! Even if the price jump is... annoying. Secondary markets man... Next up is... oh hey, it's Medusa! As for the vote... Imma go with Riku. Choice Paralysis Turbo is a hilarious idea. Day 983 of waiting for the face reveal... thoughts on AI-voiced videos like yours?
Glad you enjoyed it and yeah, those constant price increases were super annoying - to the point that I had to re-adjust the deck while I was building it since the Courts in it kept rising in price.... (they are still going up too!). Then regarding Riku, lets just say that anyone that sufferers from AP (Analysis Paralysis) may want to steer clear of this guy, because the will be packing the most option riddled spells we've ever seen in his arsenal. Then regarding AI-recording - honestly I am not against it since if I had a AI with my voice as a template it would shave off 8 - 9 hours of recording and sound editing from my builds - allowing me to make more content - but I don't think the technology is quite there yet.
Ouch... That stings a bit, especially when considering how many re-writes and times I had to test this build because of the constant price fluctuation's in order to maintain performance without going over budget.....
@@GrazzetMTG don't know what this guys on about. i playtested it and it and it played very well. got out of hand very fast and i was unable to keep up with the triggers though so i gave up and just mechanized um.
@@GrazzetMTG Nah, you good, been testing this out a bit with a couple minor changes (swapped out Wayfarer's for Thought Vessel as a personal preference and sorta did my own thing with the landbase) and nah this thing works great, noticeably better than the... two attempts I made at cooking it up previously LOL
@@GrazzetMTG Don't worry mate, it plays well. I've built a similar deck and it's a lot of fun to pilot. I've got a few more suspend cards in there, but that was due to what I had on hand.
I was anxiously waiting all week for this build!!!!!!
thx!
Hope it was worth the wait!
A lot!!! Thanks for the list! Played last weekend with it, was awesome!

Loving this. Great build!

This commander is really fun. It is crazy how expensive all the courts have gotten though.
It’s here!!!
I like the deck, but I don't see a whole lot of use for the initiative cards. Is there a synergy there that I'm just not seeing?
i would like to apologize for my ignorance, i did not know "the initiative" had its own monarch-like effect.
Auton Soldier is also worth considering as an upgrade for the deck

Excellent build. Can you make an Eriette the Beguiler video?
Don't count on it. Eriette lost the poll to Vraska
Ooo Oooo can you do a Vraska, the Silencer edh deck video next?
No extra upgrades?
Interesting build 🎉
Glad you think so!
ohhoho been waiting for this one
Hope it was worth the wait!
Let’s get to 20k!!
We're fast approaching, so it shouldn't be much longer.
Wing Ed Boots?
Eh, I've heard it pronounced both “Winged” or “Wing-ed”, so I decided to go with the latter here as a personal preference.

Sphinx of the second sun you should check the true meaning of that card first guys most of ppl play this terrible wrong j4i
Yess! People forget that last line of text, "after this phase" on sphinx of the second sun lol
Its abikity goes between the second main phase and the end of turn step i use it jhoira
is this an ai voice?
It really shows when you haven't playtested it.
Can you cite examples?

I’m just hear to say I’d rather see a Marchesa build!
Obeka is boring and overhyped
