It's not very budget, but remember that Unbound Flourishing is a great card for this kind of deck. Also, if you like Hydras, other commanders that work well with them are Zaxara and Animar.
I literally got the last few piece for my hydra deck this week, but was struggling thinking of a commander that makes it all work, this is absolutely perfect
this is a really cool build! I was not aware lifeblood hydra currently goes around 10usd; not budget definitely but I'm happy I have one lying around...
That's what's up man I'm literally building the same deck but I think I'm leaning a little harder into hydras and I'm contemplating actually using obosh as a companion
I started this way when I was building my X-tribal deck two years ago, but I reaaaaally wanted to play Villainous Wealth. So I switched Reyhan for Kydele, which also let me add some blue X-draw spells as a bonus.
Mitch, I just want to say that this deck is missing another Golden Pig. Jared, Golgari Lich Lord. He's a GREAT sac outlet for your big dumb Hydras to make ALL your opponents lose even more life. He would also has massive synergy with Reyhan by being able to sac a big dumb Hydra just to move those counters to make another Hydra even BIGGER.
I think that a version of this deck could also work with reyhan and sekki, seasons guide. It would allow you to buff up a creature and create a crap ton of 1/1 spirit tokens
With this many X casting creatures with counters I'd include The Ozolith ($12) & Death's Presence ($0.92) to help remove the fear of losing all those counters.
Brother I literally cannot believe you're building a deck I'm building as well reyhan vial Smasher honestly I was so pumped I pause the video I'd left this at the 4-minute Mark
This deck looks so cool! Hey Mitch, I was wondering if there was a reason you don't include the deck's price at the end of the video anymore, I always found that helpful with judging how interested I am in a budget deck before I go check it out on TCGPlayer. Thanks, love the content!
Hurricane and Squall Line could work wonders in this deck to help clear enemy fliers and smash their faces at the same time. They're also pretty cheap. Exsanguinate could also be an amazing finisher, but it's a little bit pricier.
I'm surprised Gyrus, Waker of Corpses didn't make the list, considering it's a hydra with an odd converted mana cost on the field (so Obosh affects it), enters the battlefield with as many +1/+1 counters as the mana spent to cast it rather than just the X cost. Although its attack trigger wouldn't be the most ideal for this kind of deck but at least it's optional here. If I were to include it in the deck, I'd replace Feral Hydra if only for the more immediate power from Gyrus.
So, I'm building a Reyhan/Ludevic deck and Vial Smasher is my "secret Commander" and it gives me such a multitude of access to cards that synergize super well. I dont use Sakishima, but I do use clones spells.... especially the higher cost ones:) any input on cards that would go well, folks?
anyone else kinda bummed every time they see reyhan and realize that reyhan is in golgari, not abzan, colors.... i know they did it for balancing... but still
From what I remember: - Spells with X in their cost, their CMC only changes while they are on the stack, and you have set a value for X when casting. So, for Vial Smaher's Ability, when a Hydra is being cast, X is whatever you cast it as, and it's CMC is X + Any other Mana in it's cost. - Otherwise their CMC or 'Mana Value' X will equal 0, whether they are in the Graveyard, in your Library, on the field, or in your hand. - If somebody Inquisition of Kozilek'd you, your Hydra would be X (0) + G (1), and the Hydra would be a valid target as it's CMC is only 1.
“What could be worse than one vial smasher”
“ I know” ( plays sakashima of 1000 faces)
“ two vile smashers!”
@@unraveki Are you sure about that” plays a clever impersonator”
@@unraveki did u say to play a stunt double?
Sakashima the Impostor join the chat
@@norushoutcast hello there
Even worse, Two reyhans. both trigger when anything dies with counter on it.
I call +1/+1 counters "beef counters" and I would appreciate it if others would join me in this.
Came late to this. You have my word, sir.
ill vote in your favor lol

Mitch you are killing it cranking out all these deck techs I love it!
this is a really cool build! I was not aware lifeblood hydra currently goes around 10usd; not budget definitely but I'm happy I have one lying around...
OMG YES..... YES.... YES
I BUILT THIS AND EVERYONE SAID IT WAS DUMB. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE
That's what's up man I'm literally building the same deck but I think I'm leaning a little harder into hydras and I'm contemplating actually using obosh as a companion
I'm a reasonable upgrade, and I'm also in the credits at 12:58. I'm currently $3.32 for my Commander 2014 printing on TCGPlayer.

Hey hey! I built a deck using these commanders! Hydra tribal/X theme
Great, finally a deck im exited for... In my playgroup i have that one guy that only play with his Gaddock Teeg hatebears deck.
Smasher is one of those cards that I feel like is part of every combo lol! Have a great day Mitch!
I haven't been this early since I was this early
When you early, you early
Pretty early to be early friend

sac protean hulk for saltiness and lulz!! XD
Vial smasher is one of my all time favorites.
Looks fun! Might have to build this one. My current Jund colored deck is Prosh. I think I can have two!

Theres also a cool couple of Golgari hydras
So I can take all the hydras I wasn't playing in Zaxara and play them here! Thanks Mitch!
Building this as my next deck. Don’t have a Jund list yet.
Brother I literally cannot believe you're building a deck I'm building as well reyhan vial Smasher honestly I was so pumped I pause the video I'd left this at the 4-minute Mark
Me: maybe I should build a hydra based commander deck. Could be fun...
RUclips: the commander's quarters has uploaded a new video.
An idea for a future deck could be a daretti scrap savant deck with artifacts like Eternity vessel
This deck looks so cool! Hey Mitch, I was wondering if there was a reason you don't include the deck's price at the end of the video anymore, I always found that helpful with judging how interested I am in a budget deck before I go check it out on TCGPlayer. Thanks, love the content!
The Ozolith would also be a great card in this deck
Crackle With Power will be fun here
Well... found my future Jund deck! Thank you!

I feel like Vial Smasher would do well with Halana Kessig Ranger as well.
Ramp with green, play big creatures, pay 2 to deal damage, profit.
If your playgroup is okay with it, Hydradoodle belongs here for the humor.
Really digging this deck.

Shattergang Sisters?

It's interesting as in the Khan timeline she was pictured as a dragonscale general, which is just white
I already run my favorite red headed goblin girl alongside sakashima of a thousand faces, so this should an easy enough jump
HULK SMASH... Or just break vials, thats cool too
Nice Mitch, I was thinking of doing a Hydra deck like this but with Yurlok. Should he be the Commander or in the 99 or not at all?
Addition to the deck: Bramblewood Paragon, all your creature with +1/+1 token have trample!
Who wouldn’t just rip everything to shreds
May I say that Goats with more than one head are scary and give me nightmares...
wheres the ozolith? (edit: its 12 dollars)
the thing is, is cmc and mana value the same thing? or is it a confusing text change that includes X spells with cmc?
From what I remember:
- Spells with X in their cost, their CMC only changes while they are on the stack, and you have set a value for X when casting. So, for Vial Smaher's Ability, when a Hydra is being cast, X is whatever you cast it as, and it's CMC is X + Any other Mana in it's cost.

- If somebody Inquisition of Kozilek'd you, your Hydra would be X (0) + G (1), and the Hydra would be a valid target as it's CMC is only 1.
I haven’t been this early since yesterday
nice deck!
Cool deck
Can we get revised version?
Too bad The Ozolith isn't budget. I feel like it is an auto-include in any counters deck.
Oh dang I didn't realize they were over $10 I pulled 3 recently. 1 of which was a foil.
Or Kalonian Hydra. Man things spiral out of control quickly with that card
All I heard at the start pspsps
Oh, this is a Commander deck? I thought it was Super Smash Brothers Melee for the GameCube!
mastering a budget deck can lead to mastering of premium decks
Jund deck = epic deck
Looking for a more expensive/competitive version of this deck if anyone has one
No Rock hydra! Shame
Last time I was this early I was late
hello
Do tergrid budget please
Bruh gaddock teeg is the worst enemy of this deck
I wonder if this comment will get liked my Mitch???? 👀👀👀😱
No stop begging, make a good comment and then maybe they will like it
