For everyone asking how to run this, Gatherer has a Random Card button. Just hit that and reroll if you get a land. Bonus points if it ALSO gives you a silver border.
@@VulcanHeStan > "Randomly choose a *nonland* Magic card name" > "You may *cast* a copy of that *spell* ..." No, Discord very much cannot choose or play Lands.
"Even chaos harkens to the beat of unseen principles, there is no true randomness, only spontaneous whimsey!" Is all other chaos commanders besides this one.
@@lord_wyran I was curious too. Although I could not find the original quote, I found these: Nietzche said that "From chaos, comes order" and Jung said "In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order."
Absolutely love this as a commander! Recently made a deck around him and it is an absolute blast. For anyone looking to play him IRL, I use a thermal mini printer and a custom scryfall random link connected to iphone shortcuts in order to quick print any cards that I cast. works suprisingly well and is pretty cheap.
This feels like the only commander where you both have to guess what kind of chaos deck they're running AND guess if they're bullshitting by naming the most obscure shit just to mess with you.
@@RibusPQRHmm, true. Then I guess I'm more wondering how the hell you pick *a* card name. Spin a wheel for spell type, then color(s?), maybe cost, and then names? Though honestly if you're putting that much effort into the bit I'm definitely playing along.
I met him and rode in an elevator with him at a con back in 2016. Even in just a couple minutes, on his way back to his hotel room at the end of the night, he still took the time and energy to chat with me and the dude I was hanging out with, and make that tiny experience memorable. Great dude, imo.
The script originally called for an impersonator, because they knew exactly what they were doing. Then Season 1 did so well that they could afford the real deal.
Discord being perfect for chaos is definitely on brand for the character though. He’s pretty much a god of chaos in the show. There’s a great clip where he summons a small cotton candy cloud to fill a glass with chocolate milk, drinks the glass, then throws away the milk and it explodes. The man cares less about physics than Robin Williams’ Genie.
No no no, he IS Chaos Incarnate. The God of Chaos. Lord of Disharmony . . . . For like 5 seasons but he still keeps his chaotic nature as he "helps" the heroes on certain quests.
The only thing more of a flavor win is the arguments people are getting into about the timing issues on his shit online. The flavor text really sells the "No, this card is GONNA make a judge tear out their hair, but FIRST they're gonna write a 3 page term paper explaining the timing."
I am currently in the process of assembling this deck, and I’m steering whole heartedly into the theme. I’m building full, and I mean FULL ramp. 75/99 cards for making mana levels of ramp. The only thing the cards in my deck do is make more and more mana, and a lil bit to protection for the big guy.
I love a good, elegant line of text. Every creature you control is a member of the party and the party is always full. Masterfully repurposes that mechanic, too.
I have a party deck and i WISH i could run pinkie pie in it 🥲 Not only is it silver border, not only is it a mlp card that would out me as a brony to my VERY Republican side of my family, but it doesn't even fit into orzhov because it's red white instead of black white
@@heheheiamasuperstarwarrior9281It's silver border, if your table is cool with that then they're probably cool with letting you add a background like Agent of the Iron Throne for black splash. Funny synergy with Pinkie's treasures, too.
@@lancesmith8298 If everything's ass-backwards at all times, then it's inevitable that he will get it. Not only that, there will be a state where he's getting all of it at all times. And he's a magical god with the features of a dragon, pony, and more. AND he can enchant others to do his bidding. The real question isn't "can he", it's "does he want to?"
The name of his species, "draconequus", implies a hybrid of a dragon and a horse but in practice, the only part of Discord that even remotely resembles a horse is one hoof and even that could be from a multitude of other animals.
That was one time, it was a tea party, and he was slowly dying inside the whole time. Literally. No I’m not gonna open the Ponynomicon to see if somebody’s drawn that shit
@@lancesmith8298 Rule 34 exists for a reason. You don't need to check, it either already exists or the mere fact you thought about it possibly existing means someone will make it exist.
He hits the exhibitionist clause, but there’s an upper limit of how many animals you can cram into a fursona before you overflow back to an animal again
Thank you for bringing this card's existence to my attention I will now proceed to make a deck with 36 lands and 63 mana rocks with this as the commander
I showed this card to my friend last week and he immediately started brewing a deck around it. I'm both eager and terrified to see what he comes up with.
The script called for a John de Lancie impersonator because subtlety is something that happens to other shows. Then, after Season 1 was far more successful than they expected, they went "you know who does a really good John de Lancie? John de Lancie" and nobody could come up with a good reason not to.
@@HeraldOfOpera And then John de Lancie ended up loving the role so much that he came back to the show later and became a recurring character as opposed to the one-off villain he originally was
"And can he get it? No, doors shut and its staying shut." Stay safe, Mald; I fear you may have poked the murder hornet hive. Don't let them take you without a fight!
I built a deck list for this commander that just embraces the lack of a plan. It's something like two mana-sinks, forty lands, fifty seven pieces of ramp, and the commander. I intend to cast every spell ever
To be fair ("TO BE FAAAAIR") there IS a strategy with this draconequus deck, and that's to ramp as hard as you can, run whatever you can to protect him long enough to get to your end steps, and most of the more chaotic cards are already in his color identity.
AKA: "get ready to ask your table if it is also okay to bring 10+ SMARTPHONE TOKENS with the random button on scryfall to the game of your silver border commander" i wish this would be playable so hard
@@pokegard yeah but it would stress me out if the cards have more than 1 line of text, keywords and abilites - and everyone on the table should be able to check and read what is going on too :D
The real question when using this card is "how does one choose a completely random card from the entirety of M:TG?" Also, as a sidenote, Discord 100% CAN get it, and the end of the show where he's hinted at being married to one of the main characters is proof positive of it.
The real reason why I'd likely not be ok playing against this commander: Keeping track of all the random permanents that the Discord player has is going to be a nightmare. Since it'll likely involve using something like Scryfall's Random button, I sincerely doubt the Discord player will be able to have access to all of them at the same time. Alternatively they'll need to write everything down on an infinitoken or something similar which will likely eat up a lot of game time.
So if someone just pulls out a box with 15000 photo copied proxies, one for every legal magic card in the game, and let you pull one with eyes closed, you'd be chill?
Just the name, P/T, and keywords would probably be enough if it rolls a permanent, so long as the Discord player pays attention well enough to know what all their random shit is supposed to do
I've been using manabox to find a random card card and once it gives me that I can add it to a deck I can delete later and since it has a sideboard I can use that for cards I haven't casted yet
@@summermermaidstar756 issue is casting permanents. sure, you can easily generate a random card from scryfall, but how do you put it into play? hope you brought infinitokens and you don't randomize anything with too much text!
PLEASE take this to a game with the professor or decked out! Bring like a box full of card names on strips of paper and you get the card by them pulling one!
I think currently my most chaotic deck is one I haven't tried out yet: Neera, Wild Mage. I finally found an Izzet deck for me and it's wild magic surge galore.
@@sy-pyyep, that is exactly what playing from outside the game means. Because that's what the term was befor exile was ever a thing. So yes, outside the game still refers to exile, I should know after spending nearly 2 hours researching it when playing with a friend because he wanted to make 100% sure I couldn't just win then and there
I feel like the only way to play this deck consistently is to either do a random card generator or to make a separate deck full of random cards to make things faster
Bring a couple hundred cards in a freespinning rolodex and any time the ability resolves you spin it to pick a card. Or just have a giant wheel of fortune next to the table. "Jimmy, what's that for?" "Oh don't worry about it..."
If someone rolls up with giant cardboard box full of photocopied proxies of every legal magic card in existence, I want to play that person and hope they let me pick the cards out to be the randomizer.
I was going to make a joke about Discord being the only commander with which you would also bring six d10s and a 600-page affidavit to the table, but I wasn't sure about the number. Apparently Gatherer says there's over 27,600 legal targets for Discord. So, depending on your handwriting size, if we limit 100 names to each side of each page of paper, it's only 139 pages, and only four d10s. Y'know, until more sets come out.
Mana rocks and maybe some impulse draw, I have made a deck if you want the list(don’t know how good it is tho in all fairness) Edit: helm of the host as well
This needs to be legal. This is the only card I would ever consider playing Commander for. In the words of as great Facebook satirist... "because CHAOS REINS!!!"
I actually have this deck and made it a pure chaos/gambling/mini games theme. Its pretty on brand for Discord, as hes one of my favorite characters! Though, i didnt realize discords effect resets his ability, i thought it just copied the card you got through his ability! (To be fair ive never actually used his ability as it would grab some awful common most of the time).
Can't get it? Please. This man over here thinking he's immune to getting rizzed up by the voice of John de Lancie in the body of a shapeshifter. Your willpower is strong, but not that strong. After all, to quote the capital Q himself: "You're only human."
…damn it he’s on to us! Run prosper! So sad though this isn’t legal. I didn’t even know of this MLP card but then I saw rakdos colors then read the effect. I cried inside
I mean, I do have a Prosper in mine just because I do like value. But I don't have 50 tutors in it to find him every game. The most fun was trying to explain Ydwen Efreet to the table. Even with the updated Oracle text.
Requesting Gonti, Canny Inquisitor. It’s like if the head of the whole IRS were running multiple simultaneous ponzi schemes using the entire Federal Reserve as collateral.
Counter point: John de Lancie is the absolute goat and can totally get it no matter if he is playing god in Magic, god in Star Trek, or (forgive me for I am about to sin) god of the Ponyverse.
Mald goes from liking Jethro Gibbs to mentioning Almighty Brushwagg? Best based roast video he's ever done. I don't think Mald can ever clear the bar this video sets. Color me thoroughly impressed.
The fact that just two days ago I was visiting my parents and therefore got to know NCIS just in time to get the joke (and agree with it) is both really convenient and serendipitously disturbing.

Discord's actor is John Q de Lancie, just so you know.
I met him and rode in an elevator with him at a con back in 2016.

@@Ericbomb Honestly, at that point I'm just impressed by the dedication and would 1000% let the chaos play out.
Just the name, P/T, and keywords would probably be enough if it rolls a permanent, so long as the Discord player pays attention well enough to know what all their random shit is supposed to do
Infinitokens exist so no
I've been using manabox to find a random card card and once it gives me that I can add it to a deck I can delete later and since it has a sideboard I can use that for cards I haven't casted yet
I got a blightbeetle at random against 2 1/1 counter decks with this. 10/10 best commander.

Edit: helm of the host as well
@@pokegard Ya know normally I condone helm of the host as a toxic card, but it's frankly flavor fitting here.
Discord turning Magic: the Gathering into an always-online physical tabletop is pretty fucking funny.
This needs to be legal. This is the only card I would ever consider playing Commander for. In the words of as great Facebook satirist... "because CHAOS REINS!!!"
Finland mentioned, wasn't expecting that 😂
The moment you do this and hit Shahrazad the fists are gonna start flying
I was surprised to have this additional card in the my little pony secret lair :333333
How do you even choose a name randomly? You like scroll up and down on the gatherer website until your mouse is on a card name?
Scryfall has a random search function that would work
HE IS A DRACONAQUIS!!! NOT A PONY!!!
I actually have this deck and made it a pure chaos/gambling/mini games theme. Its pretty on brand for Discord, as hes one of my favorite characters! Though, i didnt realize discords effect resets his ability, i thought it just copied the card you got through his ability! (To be fair ive never actually used his ability as it would grab some awful common most of the time).
Can't get it? Please. This man over here thinking he's immune to getting rizzed up by the voice of John de Lancie in the body of a shapeshifter.
Your willpower is strong, but not that strong. After all, to quote the capital Q himself: "You're only human."
Discord is just G-Rated Q from Star Trek. Honestly, if there's a Star Trek Universes Beyond in the books, they could just reprint this effect for Q.
he cab get it. if he's good enough for fluttershy, he's good enough for me
I've never been so happy to see one of these videos. I just made my discord deck yesterday
Time to find/build a MtG card randomizer for this
Scryfall has a "random card" button that seems perfect for this.
That's LEROY Jethro Gibbs, thank you very much!
I think he might be able to get it if you watched the episodes. He's basically Jafar from Aladdin.
I'm not saying I'm bias, BUT seeing you've already dipped your toes with the pony SL cards you might as well roast them all.
…damn it he’s on to us! Run prosper!
So sad though this isn’t legal. I didn’t even know of this MLP card but then I saw rakdos colors then read the effect. I cried inside
Ngl I'mma equip him with helm of the host
at 1:27 I thought you were at the "can they get it" section...
I mean, I do have a Prosper in mine just because I do like value. But I don't have 50 tutors in it to find him every game.
The most fun was trying to explain Ydwen Efreet to the table. Even with the updated Oracle text.
Requesting Gonti, Canny Inquisitor.
It’s like if the head of the whole IRS were running multiple simultaneous ponzi schemes using the entire Federal Reserve as collateral.
So a perfect deck would be Discord and 99 lands (maybe replace some with mana rocks, idk.
Ha! I know I didn't get credit but I just asked for this one yesterday 😂😂
I relentlessly asked about it for a week maybe two but I'm sure it was how awesome the card was that got it chosen. 😅
Finland mentioned, TORILLE! Also funny as hell video again 😂
damn Discord looks actually like a really FUN commander to play... kinda expensive though since he is secret lair exclusive
Counter point: John de Lancie is the absolute goat and can totally get it no matter if he is playing god in Magic, god in Star Trek, or (forgive me for I am about to sin) god of the Ponyverse.
Mald goes from liking Jethro Gibbs to mentioning Almighty Brushwagg?
Best based roast video he's ever done.
I don't think Mald can ever clear the bar this video sets. Color me thoroughly impressed.
Fun fact, he ignores band lists and format restrictions! He can give you a black Lotus or a head saucer!
Finally. A commander that can give you Head
@@lancesmith8298 head saucer is a silly card
I mean, he's also not legal himself so... ignoring banlists and format restrictions or whatever is kinda moot
I'm gonna make him, and build a goad/theft deck around him. For Flavor reasons.
How do you choose a card randomly in MTG? Maybe a dumb question, but do shuffle and pull at random?
The fact that just two days ago I was visiting my parents and therefore got to know NCIS just in time to get the joke (and agree with it) is both really convenient and serendipitously disturbing.
