Cut-Rate Commander - Episode 41 - Featuring Umbris, Fear Manifest
The seals that kept Umbris contained have finally been broken (Thanks Torens) and this Horrific Nightmare is finally free to helm a deck filled with nightmares and horrors, aiming to gorge Umbris with cards from exile and turn him from the famished 1/1 he starts off as into a 21/21 + monstrosity.
As one would expect, this build will be filled with the finest specimens of Horrors and Nightmares we can find to get us that sweet exile/mille effect from Umbirs as we play them in addition to their regular abilities, as well as various sources of more traditional exile to keep growing Umbris steadily. And while stead grow is nice, big explosive grow is much better, so we’ll be running a deadly combination of AOE mill and AOE Graveyard exile sources that, when working in conjunction, will take Umbris well into the double digits in a single turn. Then we just tack on some sources of Evasion for him to bypass our opponent’s blockers and screen him against removal with protection sources and spell disruption, and we’ll be tearing the fear out of our opponents in no time.
Let me know if the comments below if you agree with my choices and/or what you would add to the deck instead. Also, let me know know who you would like to see next by voting on in the comments on the three choices of commander listed at the end of the video.

Hey folks! Be sure to post in the comments of this video who you want to see as the final commander for Crimson Vow Before we move on to Kamigawa Neon Dynasty! Cast your vote before the deadline on 2/11!
Thanks, friend!
I was waiting for this commander to show off, so I'm really happy.
No problem and I hope you enjoy the build!
been seeying your videos for a while and every new one I get more and more amazed with your decks, hope you can continue working in those wonderful deck list. And for the next deck I would really like to see anje maid of dishonor but in a different way... maybe and artifact theme with blood tokens synergys and artifacts combos in rakdos
Glad to hear that your enjoying the content and thank you for the kind words and support!
Anje Maid of Dishonor can definitely go a couple of ways with her blood token generation, so lets see if we can get enough support for her to claim the top spot!
I recently won Unbris as one of my mythics in a booster box I bought, recently started playing magic again after a long break and built my first commander deck around Umbris… some of the cards suggested I’m already using, but there was several I didn’t know about that are amazing, also the lands (I have rogues passage) and some artifacts can really help speed things up or help in other ways. Overall a really informative, useful video, one horror missed though which I’m using is Elder Brain has menace, is a 6/6 and it’s ability’s synergise so well with Umbris but overall excellent content. I hope you made one about Toxrill because I also won him from the same booster box and being a slug horror he went brilliantly with Umbris lol.
Rough night in the tank with this one; came out flatter than a Kansas pancake; bout the only thing I did was to gnerf the 3 graveyard deck I was facing making for a very long bass game. Ah well, some day you get a face cracking Umbris and somedays Umbris just keels over and dies
Loving all your vids. Got me going nuts trying to figure out which to build next. I would love to see an Odric commander deck.
Happy to hear you've been enjoying the builds!
Another vote for Odric helps him climb the polls, just behind the 1st place contenders. Lets see if he can get enough support yo tie it up or overtake!
Nice to see some cards I never even came across while making Umbris, lil treats
I recently took some inspiration from you and have been freeing myself from overkill decks and decided to make a budget $85 Orvar deck, it's been great to play with newer people to the format!
Good to hear that your giving budget a shot - it certainly makes our format much more accessible to newer players who don't have the money to throw hundreds of dollars into the hobby.
Already built my pricey Umbris, which stomps, but I've built your halana and Elena deck and I enioy that one very much ❤️ thanks for the videos!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the support!
Love the builds and content. I can go for Jacob Hauken. Can wait to see your choices for new set.
Glad to hear you enjoy the content!
Jacob gets a second vote to tie him for second alongside Anje, lets see if he can get enough support to overtake and climb up to first.
My vote would have to go to Edgar, Charmed Groom. While not as powerful as the original Edgar Markov, his ability to turn into his coffin seems intriguing. Being able to make token vampires while Edgar is dead sounds pretty good.
Edgar gets a vote and puts him on the board! He's still a ways from 1st but we still have quite a ways to go before the deadline so lets see if he can get some more support.
Love that you use real pricing. As much as I like some of the bigger channels, hitting a deck list and seeing it triple in price the day the video is posted is toxic. Keep up the great work.
Will do! Using the Market Place Price on TCGplayer just seems to be the "fairest" way to keep the prices transparent as possible - and even then its not entirely perfect (since prices can spike or drop) but its the closest we're likely going to get!
Thankfully, the alternate version of the Stranger Things Mind Flayer is currently very cheap and a solid include.
Yeah, the reprint has brought it down in price significantly so I can see it being a solid upgrade!
Umbris is pretty good because you can pretty much exile 20 cards and then cast him and he can one shot anybody at this point. He's very powerful
Yeah this has happened in testing with him hanging around being a 7/7 with evasion, then suddenly exiling all graves and boosting him up to a 28/28 out of nowhere and one-shotting an opponent.
Sweet build. I've been holding off on making a mill strategy, because it's usually a mundane tactic. This looks pretty explosive without drawing agro.
Glad you enjoyed it!
the eldrazis like wasteland strangler, blight herder and ulamog's nullifer can be amazing in this deck
True, they do work in this deck but do have the issue of making Umbris slightly weaker as they ETB. Still, they would be great includes for the additional utility they provide!
I'm in the middle of building a Toxrill, the Corrosive deck. Surprised we haven't gotten a deck tech yet here of it, so.. my vote for Toxie!
Slime counter supremacy seems like it would be a whole lot of fun (Cleanup would be horrible though). Lets see if this Demon Slug has what it takes to claim the top spot!
Would love to see some kind of mono-white build from you. I think Adeline, Resplendent Cathar is an excellent commander that leans into white’s strengths and I’d be interested to see how you build it!
A mono white commander would be a bit tricky to build efficiently but I'm up for the challenge if Adeline is able to take the top spot!
Hey there! I'm still fairly new to mtg and commander and I recently stumbled upon your vids and have binge watched a bunch of them! They are great! Keep it up, man. I love your design philosophy and the way you explain the overall strategy and then go into each card. And the summary followed by sidegrades and upgrades part at the end is fantastic. Will likely end up building 2 or 3 decks from your guides over the coming months. Volo and Dina look way too fun. One question though, one of the commanders I'm eyeing up for my next build is for Veyran. I realize it's fairly popular and there are quite a few guides out there and I wouldn't expect you to make one for her... but would you happen to know of one from someone else that you like and would recommend? No worries at all if not. Just having a hard time finalizing what build to go with, am used to creature heavy stuff so far. Looking forward to future episodes. Cheers!
Glad to hear you've been enjoying the content and the presentation of my builds!
Regarding Veyran builds that I would recommend, Mitch over that The Commanders Quarters made a pretty solid build - ruclips.net/video/Xj189Fa-SdQ/видео.html - His stuff is very good on a budget and looking over the build myself I can say that its pretty well put together.
Hope that helps!
Solid deck tech! You know my vote is for Geralf but unlikely to get the win. Keep it up!
Glad you enjoyed it! And Geralf certainly appreciates the vote to try and get a build to match his sisters.
Gonna crack this deck tonight; tired of getting whupped with my own builds
Hope it worked well for you!
@@GrazzetMTG Gonna do a redesign of this one; not sure I'll keep that budget line though. You're not my deck building manager, so I can spend what I want LOL
Leyline of the Void is fairly budget a include for sure. Eater of the dead would also be good if you can afford it after the spike.
Leyline just didn't make it due to price, but it could certainly get squeezed in at this budget by making a few changes - it would make a great include. Eater of the dead would also be good for the continual exile it provides.
Thanks for the suggestions!
I'd love to see the nastiest Toxrill deck you could come up with!
Another vote for Toxrill ties him up for the first place slot - lets see if he can overtake Anje for first!
Tasha's Hideous Laughter would be a bomb mill card in this deck that doesn't require secondary exile effect! How about Old Rutstein (or Old Stickfingers) with Mortal Combat as an alt win con for the next deck tech?
Edit: I see didn't realize that Tasha's Hideous Laughter was so expensive and would be in the upgrade section!
Yeah, Tasha's Hideous Laughter is a bit pricey... I would have loves to out it in the core build but couldn't justify the price - but if you have it already or want to go over budget, it definitely a sweet include!
I'm looking at Mortal (K)Combat now actually and am going to see how it feels in testing for Old Rustein - we'll see if it does enough to make the cut.
I'd really like to see an artifact based Anje, maid of dishonor. Pump out blood tokens and cast Indomitable Creativity or murder creatures with herald of anguish or just hit enemies with an unblockable shambling suit.
Another vote for Anjie ties her up for first place again with Toxrill - lets see who will come out on top!
I would love something for Anje, Maid of Dishonor. I have been wanting to make something with her as the lead, but just can't think of anything different than just vampire tribal really.
That's 2 for Anje, so it looks like she's the frontrunner (for the time being). Lets see if she can keep her spot!
I am hereby begging you to make a Tasha the Witch Queen budget commander deck. I have been trying to theory craft a list for her and I’m honestly stumped. I would imagine that the list would look similar to this but needs to incorporate a couple of other interactions. I find her play style very interesting. I’ve been considering a super friends list for her because I can’t think of any other way to keep her safe other than playing planeswalkers that require immediate attention. Including but not limited to Karn the great creator, Ashiok nightmare muse, Narset Parter of veils, tezzeret betrayer of flesh, etc. while also trying to incorporate some proliferate counter strategies.
Tasha the Witch Queen is just budget enough that I would consider building her - so I'll see what we can do to get her on a future poll for you!
@@GrazzetMTG I would so very much appreciate that. I currently have most of the cards and have been theory crafting for awhile now. I have decided the best way to play her at least on paper, is a superfriends list with access to really powerful planeswalkers including, Ashiok Dream Render, Ashiok Nightmare Muse, Karn the Great Creator and Narset Parter of Veils. I may add a few more, with a handful of proliferate cards, The Chain Veil and the usual theft cards to accomplish our primary goals. Throw in some blue/black staples, a few mana rocks and I think it’ll be a solid deck for casual play.
Okay, scratch that… after further testing, forget the planeswalkers, forget proliferate… polymorph effects are literally insane in this. Jalira, Master Polymorphist, Mass Polymorph, Polymorph, Proteus Staff, Reweave and Synthetic Destiny. As long as you’re utilizing Tasha properly and spawning demons, you can take those demons and turn them into creatures. Assuming your creature line up consists of either smaller valuable ones or big explosive ones that are on theme with the strategy. For example, my list still needs tuning, but I am currently running…
Dauthi Voidwalker
Opposition Agent
Thada Adel, Acquisitor
Thief of Sanity
Gonti Lord of Luxury
Dazzling Sphinx
Wrexial, the Risen Deep
Diluvian Primordial
All containing on theme powerful effects. With possible inclusions…
Havengul Lich
Sire of Stagnation
Xanathar, Guild Kingpin
Arvinox, the Mind Flail
Brainstealer Dragon
Elder Brain
Mindleech Mass
I also like this strategy because it can significantly reduce your creature count while maintaining access to these cards with less focus on reanimating from grave which would require more fine tuning to accomplish and frankly take more space than needed. It also has the potential to avoid summoning sickness for some of our creatures which is one of their biggest downsides. If you do get around to a Tasha list I’d love to hear your thoughts.
*happy Kafka noises*
Definitely something I would gladly test out once I can! Amazing video as always!
As to my vote, well I think we can have a challenge of sorts... Alexander Clamilton, but only with black-bordered cards! Granted, it's not Innistrad related, but hey, Unfinity's around the corner, so being ahead of the curve can be quite nice.
Day 185 of waiting for the GrazzetMTG face reveal. Say, do you have any plans for when Unfinity comes around?
Thanks for voting, but I would really rather keep it to Crimson Vow for this vote to stay on theme. That said, I may have some free for all votes in the future for any commander from any set, so look forward for that if you want to vote for some Un-Commanders!
Regarding Unfinity, I'm definitely going to be making some builds for the commander (wacky or otherwise) were going to be getting in that set! Hopefully the pandemic dies down enough for it to be safe to do some drafts with the boxes I'll be getting but if not, I guess we just crack them for no value.
I may be a bit late but I’m buying this deck for a friend (first commander deck) and I was wondering why there are no cards like Rite of Consumption and Essence Harvest as alternative win con for when you have a massive Umbris on the board? As a former LoR player it seemed natural! Thanks for the great channel! I already built 3 of your decks for beginners friends and for myself!
Also isn’t the deck a bit light in creatures and protection for Umbris? Thanks
Glad to hear you've been enjoying the builds!
Rite of Consumption and Essence Harvest certainly could find a hope in this build as Fling like effects to take even further advantage of Umbris's bulk and honestly I did not think to add them (there are so many cards that these didn't really come to mind). I can see them being a solid addition however if you can find space for them.
Between the existing counters and protection, Umbris held up pretty well in testing, but if you find yourself needeing some additional defense - Blessing of Leeches and Soul Channeling would be good mana-less ways to keep him alive, as well as Tyrite Sanctum to eventually make him indestructible.
Regarding creatures - sadly Horrors and Nightmares are chock full of bad ones - so we were more or less limited on our creature options from the get go. It didn't impact the build too much in testing however, since we have plenty of ways to make Umbris bigger through mill instead.
Idk if I should build this deck or buy the mind flayarrrs precon and upgrade it.
Any help guys?!
It may be cheaper to buy the individual cards but the Mind Flayarrrs precon does have a solid amount of other horrors that can be slotted in hear (though it may up costing you a bit more for cards you may not want/need).
Reflections of littjara would be cool in this. Makes copies horrors/nighmares and triggers umbris twice.
True, I just found it to be a bit too limiting with only 15 tribal members - would definitely be better if we added some additional horrors.
@@GrazzetMTG i guess if the decks main gimmick is horror/nightmare tribal, putting a bunch of shapeshifters would help.
I vote for either Odric or Anje. I believe Blood tokens deserve a little more love :)
We'll spit the vote and see which blood token commander comes out on top!
my vote for the final VOW commander goes to Jacob Hauken. I’d love to also see Old Rutstein, but the magnifying glass comes first
Another vote for Jacob puts him just behind Anje for the First Place spot, so lets see if he can get a bit more support to the first place.
Regarding Old Rutstein, he's actually the next build, so look forward to seeing him in action next week!
This seems like a fun deck to play while infuriating the rest of the table 😂
Just pulled this guy, he looks kinda like a xenomorph, and can stand with Chainer as a Nightmare general.
I want to compliment you on your interaction with your viewers, it brings the community feeling together.
Have you personally played this deck? How does it fare?
It is quite fun to play and wasn't too oppressive with its exile gimmick during testing (except when facing graveyard focused builds, who hate it with a burning passion).
I personally play and test all the builds a make video on and this one works pretty well overall. Since Umbris goes from 0 - 100 very quickly, there is often not enough time for our opponents to do anything once he gets into one-shotting range our of nowhere, but the tricky part is making sure you have enough cards in exile for the last remaining player to finish them off (since every opponent eliminated actively makes Umbris weaker as their cards in exile go away).
Hope that helps!
It does.
And a great equipment just occurred to me while digging through cards; fire shrieker
@@alphaskag1878 The double strike is nice, but does feel a bit like overkill since our commander will be one-shotting people anyway. Still, it would make ending games a bit easier once it gets down to 1v1.
can u do a deck tech on garna the bloodflame or grenzo dungeon warden? they seem interesting commanders.
I would love to tackle older commanders but I sadly do not have the time at the moment - which is why I'm sticking only to the newest sets for the moment. Maybe further down the line if time allows I can look into builds featuring some more retro commanders....
This deck is officially silly - am always competitive in every game I play with this one. Another terrific outing this week with 2 one shot kills :)
Glad to hear that its been working out for you!
Wouldn't you need to swap all your basic lands with snow lands for Draugr Necromancer?
If you want to be able to cast all the spells exiled by him yes, but we can still cast black and blue exiled spells just fine without the snow lands and even if we can cast the spells, they'll still be powering up Umbris, so its find to run him without any snow sources in the build.
How about building odric the blood cursed?
Word Soup could be fun! Lets see how many others want to see this in action!
Jacob Hauken
Jacob Haurken looks like a really cool build! I mean he could find anything to cheat into play (Hint: It's Eldrazi).
Well im late this time. Lol.
Better late than never!
is this a person speaking or a computer?
