I have referenced your Alesha deck techs like 50 times over the last year and a half or so, as I've tweaked my own build. I find your insight extremely valuable. Hope you keep making videos!
I have six of these in the can, and six more halfway done ATM. I'll be releasing one per week for twelve weeks, then parlaying into some new series about "bottom-up" designed decks (I explain at 17:17 in the video)! Thank you for your patience -- very excited to kick things off again! If you enjoyed this, click "subscribe!" RUclips will show you more similar things more often!
In terms of bottom up design ideas, a deck I've been trying to build for a while is one that can sit at the table with tuned, competitive edh decks and fresh out of the box precon decks and level the playing field and act like the "police" of the table. The decks I've built with this objective in mind have included cards like Thalia, Heretic Cathar, that don't have a huge impact on low budget decks but can be a significant speed bump for better decks, or cards like Path to Exile that can remove problem permanents without being too much of a feel bad if you have to point them at a newer player's stuff.
Welcome back! When I was trying to get into more competitive EDH I would watch your videos all the time. Looks like you're moving away from the scene but it's still very enjoyable to watch a brew.
I'm gonna try something in my ramos deck, i'd like to know your thoughts. Like you, I'm playing conflux and time stretch to top my curve, so i thought if you add seasons past, which isn't a bad card by itself, you go infinite with ramos, so that you are sure to win when casting conflux with ramos out. Cast conflux, get seasons and stretch plus whatever, get 10 mana with ramos, cast time stretch. First extra turn cast seasons, get back stretch, conflux plus whatever, put seasons in your deck. Second extra turn cast conflux, get back seasons plus whatever, get 10 mana, cast stretch, rinse repeat, for infinite turns. Worth it?
Oh man, definitely worth it if your playgroup is cool with infinite turns! My main check when it comes to combo pieces is "are all of these combo pieces also good on their own, even without the combo?" (basically another way of asking "what is the worst case scenario?") and you pass that test here easily. Normally for me it's "Eternal Witness" + "Time Stretch" + "Capsize" (that's how my most competitive deck usually wins), but conflux and seasons do the trick too.
Yoshi Salaverry - Would both be good includes. I overlooked Whisper. T-cruise SOMETIMES is difficult to delve for, but we run enough control that we’d usually be able to fire it off for cheap.
Despite being more current, i feel the build heory is not as optimal as other more charm/multicolor based breakdowns. Way too many monochrome cards. Yes splashable, but far less in tune with Ramos as an every- turn-involved deck
To serve the budget constraints, definitely went in a more conservative "Control" oriented direction. Might not be as explosive as more combo-ish builds, but I have still seen great success with the paper version of Ramos, in an 80-85% meta.
He lives
I've missed your EDH videos. I started playing commander because of your Kruphix deck tech.

I’m glad to see you back. Really missed hearing your voice.
Haha yes! It's great to have you back. Would love a bottom up primal surge deck.

Wow, haven't heard the name Daniel Brown in forever. Cool to see you're producing mtg vids now.

You're supposed to say welcome back gang, or have a generic Goblin noise.

Woah didn't expect this.
I actually screamed loud enough to scare my dogs when I saw this
Go forth and pet your dog please. Tell them it's from me.
don't worry they got a hug and a head scratch. they were much confusion.
so glad you are back!
I don't remember subscribing to you but also, I don't mind.
I'll take that. Thanks.
He's back! :D
great to see you make another video
Welcome back
Why not run Night's Whisper over Divination? Or Treasure Cruise for that matter.
Yoshi Salaverry - Would both be good includes. I overlooked Whisper. T-cruise SOMETIMES is difficult to delve for, but we run enough control that we’d usually be able to fire it off for cheap.
Oh thank the Lord, I'm so happy for thism
Nice vid. Good insight.
DONT CALL IT A COMEBACK
dan brown is straight gangsta

I never knew if it was pronounced E-D-H-Rec, or Ed-rec, like the commander.

Love the video, but music is abit to loud
I'll turn down the music for episodes 7-12 -- the first six are already exported, so we'll have to live with it for a while!!
you have been gone far to long sir.....
