Thank you, Professor! I was wondering when you were going to cover Oathbreaker. My friends and I have been playing for the last couple months. Happy to hear you enjoy it like we do!
THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!
Tibalt theme deck yeeeee
Nice 👍 Oathbreaker looks nice and fast paced.
Tolarian Community College here’s to this mode taking off, gaining speed and staying. Looks n’ sounds like it could be an awesome addition to the card game that’s been around for a quarter of a century. Well, here’s to another magical quarter, maybe two, or three ;) be crazy for this to be a centuries old game lmao.
Ah, one plainswalker can hope. May the leylines be with you Sir (bows*).
"All you need are 2-3 friends."
This format is too expensive.
LOL. That's the hardest part. I can't even play Edric as a commander 'cuz my opponents still atack me (mercyless) without even considering the posibility of drawing cards by attacking someone else.
@@ODIRGO You're saying it as if they're making the wrong decision...
@@alecazam6755 it's an elf-tribal-non-cedh version, made with left overs, so...
"elf-tribal"
They're still making the right decision kek
I know right? Just paying for the therapy alone to overcome my social anxiety is going to strain my wallet.
"For the many Magic: The Gathering players who asks the question, I will keep watch"
-The Professor
"No more than one copy of each card in your deck" looks at my shadow born apostle commander deck. "Yeah sure buddy"
Oathbreaker: exists.
Garruk, Apex Predator:
*PLANEWALKERS?!*
I smell assassins throphy
Surprised to see not many people doing a tibalt madness deck. Finally a format where Tibalt can be the commander.
Sig spell- Faithless Looting or Gamble
Singleton for monored Madness is probably rough, but this is a sweet idea
He is great in this format
@Max S there's a ton of other spells you can use like flashback and jump start
Came to comment this
Drake , consumer of souls and cheese strings Yep, here’s where the power lies. I either discard something I can then cast with Madness, or I discard something I can then cast from the graveyard. There’s so little downside, it’s not really worth discussing.
I think I've been living under a rock. This was the first I heard of Oathbreaker. It looks amazing. Thanks to the professor for the great info.
You are not alone friend but I am glad that we both know know about it now : -)
The first I heard of it was when LoadingReadyRun played it on their Friday Night Paper Fight. It was fun and different. I wouldn't want it to replace Commander and there's no way I will spend any amount of money on it, but still, seems fun.
Same! I didn't know that it has been out for two years now!
Yea, heard about it last night. Now all this stuff is around
Same... 2 years later lol
“Run your favourite Magic cards”
But where is the sliver planeswalker :(
The Prof put out his Tamiyo Slivers deck tech. Pretty cool.
Hi Professor. I am a big fan of the oathbreaker format.
My Breakers are:
Liliana, Death's Majesty / Settle the Score as a monoblack Zombie army
Huatli, the Sun's Heart / March of the Multitudes as Selesnja token plaque
Serra the Benevolent / Enlightend Tutor as monowhite Angel tribe
Nissa, Steward of Elements / Brainstorm as Simic Ramp´n Stomp
and
Saheeli, Sublime Artificer / Thoughtcast as Izzet Artifact Allrounder
Really tempted to make a werewolf tribal deck with the OG Arlinn Kord as the oathbreaker and Moonmist as her signature spell.
This is what Ben ran in the Loading Ready Run video! It seemed like a fun and flavorful deck.
@@Geallach83 Well dang! I guess I've got to watch it now! :D
@@TheAmericanDragn Yeah, they really picked on Serge cause of his Sig Spell, Wrath of God. Really just confirms the self-correcting nature of multiplayer. It was an awesome couple of games.
A friend of mine has one, and it's pretty sweet.
Definitely would want to include Immer Wolves in the deck. A shame WAR Arlinn was only green.
My deck is the new Jace, Mana Severance, and 58 Islands.
Mine is new Ral + time warp and all the good extra turn spells that are not banned
I'm sure that won't get boring for anyone...
The format is *insanely* fast when played competitively. There are plenty of instants and sorceries that can either just win out with your planeswalker on the field, or find things that win you the game. It's downright nasty.
I'm kinda curious as to whether or not they have the same kind of divisions between competitive and casual circles in the format that commander has.
Or you can use treasure hunt aswell
Andrew Mikos If not, give it some time. They’ll pop up. That’s a good sign of a healthy format, though, because it means everyone wants to enjoy it.
hey did you guys hear? Sol Ring is banned in Oathbreaker format...
Since when did it have an official banlist?
Good riddance. Now it just needs a ban in commander.
It's too essential for EDH to be banned there. A high mana curve format needs sol ring to stay alive, especially decks that don't run green and/or white.
@@Knuffeldraak Where's this White ramp you're alluding to?
Land Tax, Tithe, Flower/Flourish, Knight of the White Orchid, plus there's many more land draw and/or land ramp effects in white.
Just wanted to thank you for the video and info. My LGS found out about this format via your video and we now host Oatherbreaker Tuesdays and play after FNM. Lots of fun and brewing goodness.
This Oathbreaker thing is taking off!
I'm glad because this way we can end the planeswalkers as commanders debate on EDH and just play this instead if that's what you'd like. Thanks for spreading it out Proff!
As for mine, I'm thinking of a Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge with Fabricate. Love artifacts, love Blue, love Tezzeret. Also something with Ral right after.
Exactly! This is probably the best answer to that debate. A separate format, that has a flavor win with the signature spells.
Tezzeret may get banned. As is Saheeli, the Gifted. Mana cheat is too powerful in this format.
thoughtcast thooooooo!!!!!! THAT SWEET SWEET DRAW TWO FOR 1
Sounds fun! And without the obligatory Sol Ring included in nearly every Commander deck😀
TheDemonHelios yeah that’s why he said that lol
This is literally the first video I'm watching to see this new official format. I've only gotten into commander recently after a 6 year hiatus so saving money on cards doesn't sound like a bad thing
Played some Oathbreaker last night in between Commander games. Had a great time!
I think Josh Lee Kwai had it right, that Oathbreaker, rather than be seen as a replacement to EDH, is an addendum to EDH in between huge games, or at the end of the night when you only have enough energy for half a game before you bail.
@@Geallach83 Agreed.
I’m 40, trying to learn to play.... I’ve always wanted to learn and now I’m going to. Wish me luck!
Good luck man! Welcome to the best game of the world :)
Its never to late this game is for everyone and that is what makes this game the best you could be 10 or you could be 70 there is something for everyone in this game. Good luck in learning how to play the best ccg on the planet.
I learnt at age 29, hope u had fun
Professor! Just built my first Oathbreaker deck tonight! I've been hearing about it but then you really got me excited. I went with a flavorful Chandra, the Firebrand and Chandra's Triumph 😁
So glad you made a video on this format! My friends and I have had a ton of fun brewing decks and duelling each other, and it makes for quick games so we can play basically whenever we have a spare 20 minutes
My current favorite format!
1. It opens up archetypes that just suck in EDH, like burn (20 life vs 40), and mill (60/58 vs 100/99).
2. Its super quick! While I love long, involved games like the next guy, there are times when its just not feasible to sit in a game for hours back to back.
3. I already brewed a lot of decks, but my current favorite is my Huatli, the Sun's Heart/Tower Defense toughness matters deck, and my Saheeli, Sublime Artificer/Banishing Knack infinite combo deck. Very different characters but both fun to play!
Thanks for featuring this format, Prof! Hope it thrives!
Love that you talked about this awesome format!
Thinking about getting a signature spellbook jace and doing a jace/mystic tutor deck.
Sounds like something I might do as well, Jace is my favourite planeswalker :)
Our gaming group has played EDH for years and we have built some new decks for this Oathbreaker format and really love it! Thanks for the video professor!
The closing credits to Prof's videos always remind me of the PBS kids shows I'd always watch. Thank you for thanking us, Professor!!
I've said this about his entire format for years. I'm glad someone else sees it lol.
Thanks for covering it, Prof! Can't wait for the format to blow up. This is what brawl wanted to be!
Also, I'm running WAR Tamiyo + Dramatic Reversal. Let's just say it's a persistent deck.
I was looking at Tamiyo on making my first Oathbreaker deck off it to try to mix in some of my flying BS as well as some other spell oriented BS
gideon of the trials as the oathbreaker with ignite the beacon as the signiture spell. GIDEON TRIBAL
Brandon Butterfield I love it!
*So* happy to see this video. Been building/playing Oathbreaker for a bit now (ever since the LRR showcase game), and was trying to signal boost the format to as many friends as possible. Having this video to *really* increase awareness will be awesome for the format!
I first got into Magic with your mono red modern deck video. I expanded upon that when you did your legacy video on having a modern and legacy ready burn deck. Now it only seems appropriate to expand upon that and do an Oathbreaker burn deck with Chandra, Torch of Defiance and either Flame Rift or Price of Progress for the signature spell.
I've got my cards ordered and I'm excited to give this format a try! Thanks for the great content, Professor!
A key rule is that the signature spell cannot exist outside the command zone and the stack. No graveyard, no remand grapeshot into your hand.
This is particularly important considering things like Flashback and the like.
Yes, very much so. You cant snapcaster mage the spell, and seize the day is less good as you dont get two uses for one commander tax. I initially though of playing Bolas storm with past in flames as the spell, with all of the rituals and tutors at my disposal along with tendrils and grape shot. But you cant flash it back. Wait actually yagmoths will would be good... but anyways my playgroup has done a bunch of testing and playing around with decks, and with high powered cards the format seems like an inbetween of vintage and legacy but in a singleton format. Always having a JtMS on turn four can be very good, and deck building around that can be very interesting.
@@sethmasters2147 yagmoth's would be interesting, as would a lot of exile after execution spells...
Can they exist in exile? Does this shut down suspend or rebound?
@@DaiKitsune69 I believe it does.
oof this was such a lovely introduction to oathbreaker, something i hadn't realised existed -- or needed to exist. but this comes as a very welcome, refreshing breath of life into my love for commander. :)
i'm currently in love with narset's reversal, so perhaps that would be my signature spell .. and either with narset, tamiyo, or teferi.
tamiyo would be awesome in this
Or Ral, Storm Conduit.
Becasue I have a love of Combat tricks, Or combat work arounds, I would go with Teferi so I could abuse some of the Blue spells and White spells I love.
Dude.... Kaya, Orzhov Usurper and Path to Exile. Add in some other nifty exile cards, and you have an evil amount of removal with a built in win condition.
I was with you until the signature spell wasn't Swords to Plowshares.
DeBt tO tHe dEaThLeSs LmAo
@@dongiovanni4331 plowshares works against using kaya to win.
Like obviously it is a better removal spell.
@@basicpigeonbee that's why you also run spiciness like Tainted Remedy and Erebos.
@@dongiovanni4331 But if you swords the creature, your opponent gains life = toughness. That's counterintuitive to Kaya's -5.
I would play Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded and Gamble 😋
We have a dude in our playgroup doing that. It is a tribal goblin deck. It is so much fun
Wouldn't Tibalt actually be better if his first loyalty ability was replaced with gamble?
@@stephanwyrsta376 yeah of course
My fun idea for Oathbreaker is Angrath+Fling. Minus and steal a man, swing with him. If its a weak man angrath will kill it himself. If its a strong man then you fling it for bonus damage.
that seems exactly like my kind of deck, like it :)
Cool idea
What about the 2 other people who are watching you set this up?? Too slow and now 3 people are gunning for your head because you are going to steal their stuff next! Good luck forcing this on 3 other people!
Ohhh my Ob Nixilis and Shadowborne Apostle deck has some potential here! Prof thank you for bringing this to our attention! You have made the MTG a positive place for new and old players a like!
Now that Oathbreaker is an official format I'm glad I could come back to this vid. I wasn't playing the format when it first came out. Now I can!
I once bought the Daretti edh precon deck and took it apart. Now its time for Daretti and Scrap Mastery in Oathbreaker! Im very excited! :)
This guy just keeps introducing me too new formats and I absolutely appreciate it. Well made video again my guy.
It's lovely to see such an awesome format get this much love.
I already have 2 decks: new Ashiok and Mind Grind; new Saheeli and Thoughtcast. The format is a lot of fun.
Can substitute my regular edhs and have a 40 card sideboard since most of them have walkers.
I'm gonna make a mill as well but my first is nahiri, storm of stone with magnetic theft. Hope others near me start playing it
Saheeli is on the banlist
@@Isheian only saheeli the gifted is banned
@@Isheian commander saheeli but not new war of the spark
So many people at Guardian Games were talking about this format tonight and how they learned about it through this video. I'm so glad you're spreading the word!
I love that it's 20-life, 60-card, which avoids invalidating a lot of the strategies that commander does.
The banlist has some odd choices though, namely Ad Nauseam, Griselbrand, Emrakul, Sylvan Primordial, and Primeval Titan (since it's no longer as slow as commander, the bignasty creatures seem less abusive. Whereas Ad Nauseam is no worse than a large number of other spells you could run as your signature spell if you really want to try to break the format.)
It also gives me a reason to run Tibalt 1.0, since he's the cheapest 'walker to get out onto the field and start sig-spelling with.
I know it wasn’t spoiled when you first commented, but if the two mana factor of Tibalt appeals to you then you should check out Wrenn and Six from Modern Horizons.
Prophet of Kruphix isnt banned. Rise fellow Simic players. Let the testing begin.
Believe me, Many Arms McUntappy has been a great include in my Kiora, the Crashing Wave deck.
I love that card
In all honesty, the rules committee doesn’t seem to understand what will hurt their format in the long run.
Best to let people test out the new format. For a few weeks. And do corrections from the data.
Specky well like think about all the stuff that we already know is busted, like tezzeret with chain veil, but neither card is banned... it will be easy to break the format, but the only planeswalker that was banned is Saheli the gifted? It doesn’t make sense:
Thanks for this video Professor. I was hoping you'd do one, as I needed a good video to advertise this format to my playgroup.
Brewed up a few decks and played some games with my friends today. Wasn't disappointed.
Discovered Oathbreaker on Monday and have already built 2 decks. Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver discard/mill with Whispering Madness as my Signature Spell and Sorin, Grim Nemesis Vampire Aristocrat/Aggro with Anguished Unmaking. We're doing our 1st Oathbreaker game on Saturday at our LGS. Cannot wait.
Liliana the Last Hope and Elderspell
Who needs friends?
Thanks for bringing attention to this! My groups all gonna start brewing. A friend just sent me a foil Vraska and foil Deathsprout (my favorite walker/artist/guild all getting representation!) and now I know where to put them!
Nissa, steward of elements + Growth Spiral.
I'm glad to see the prof repping this format. I just build my deck and it's been loads of fun!
There is also a oathbreaker Discord I've been frequenting lately! Despite the many attempts by cedh players, the format hasn't been broken and the meta game is still strong! Thank you so much for doing this video and introducing more people, Professor! 😊
"the format hasn't been broken"
*looks at Narset + windfall"
ok lol
Might want to look into that. Is there a way to share the link to it?
@@trealosgaming3345 It's literally just new Narset with Windfall as the signature spell and then your opponents are completely locked out of the game on turn 4.
@@zachkaigler6569 i was asking for the discord channel
I was already building Nicol Bolas/Elderspell. And have been planning Ashiok/Glimpse the Unthinkable
Be a real man and use Traumatize.
Solusist lol🤣
So happy you made this vid Prof!!! Ive been planning to introduce this format to my playgroup and brew Gideon deck myself, i really hope this format gains more traction as i see it as a faster more flavorful alternative to EDH
I've been working on building one and seeing the prof getting into the format gives me high hopes for this.
Love the idea of this. Multiplayer formats are the best formats. Although Oathbreaker59 doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
How about OATH58?
the oathbreaker and sig spell are both a part of the 60
Gonna have to make the appropriate adjustment. Oathbreaker59? OathSig58? Who knows.
I like oathsig58
I'm not a Rakdos player, but now I want to build a deck around Angrath and Fling. 😎
Thud can do the same thing if you don't care about instant speed and want to save 1 mana
@@swolegolisopod7340 I actually thought of Thud first, since it's currently in Standard. Suffice to say, Instant speed is always preferable.
So happy everyone has been talking about Oathbreaker lately! It looks super cool and fun, I've been trying to raise interest in my local playgroup, hopefully this video helps. Think I'll try out the new Kiora first! Now to figure out the signature spell, so many choices.....
I would LOVE for you to make more Oathbreaker videos if you had the time/desire to do so
Nissa, steward of elements with Nissa’s triumph. Fetch out Tron lands and other great utility lands and play big splashy creatures and spells.
I was planning on doing nissa man lands and make it feel like Noyan Dar, Roil Shaper
That’s awesome! I think this format is going to be fun! I might have to make a ponza style deck because the only thing more fun than playing a lands deck is blowing up other people’s lands ;)-
I run her, but with Strength of the Tajuru as her sig spell. I also have a Greater Good. I have milled myself out a couple times just for fun XD
While I haven't played it yet, I built Gideon of the Trials with Call the Gatewatch as the signature spell. That way I can make the emblem and then go find my other Gideons.
Great idea!
So he just keeps calling himself. Gideon is the worst at Prank calls.
Gideon: Gatewatch, assemble!
Gideon: I answer the call.
Gideon: Ah, Gideon, glad to see you.
Gideon: I am here, Gideon.
Gideon: Gideon, Gideon! Great to see you both!
@@Foofoothegoon Kid Gideon: Don't forget me!
*Akward silence*
Gideon: OKAY someone call this boys parents.
Gideon: I think you did a amazing job on your costume little guy. But what I am about to do is actually Real. I am about to face off against against a enemy so powerful I may never return.
Kideon: But I know his one true weakness! His power is in his Balls! All I have to do is cut his Dragonballs off.
Gideon: No wonder the radar shows the 1 star and 2 Star Dragonballs!!!
Nico Bolas: * Sigh* Look just come and find me when Your done talking to each other...Yourselves.. One another.
I'll just be looking menacing and Hungry looking okay!
Gideon: That's fine I'll be there in a moment to stop you.
Bolas: Uh I knew I shouldn have just stayed at home today. I'm missing Game of Thrones.
Awesome vid and sounds like my new favorite format!! I hope it spreads fast.
Glad to see this format gaining more traction. I've been playing since not that long after LRR streamed them playing it.
I have a couple decks, but my best and favourite is my Tibalt the Fiend-Blooded deck with Jaya's Immolating Inferno as the sig spell. It's all about aggro and discard. One of my favourite ways to win is by flashing back Conflagrate and discarding my whole hand for 6+ damage.
This is my favorite format. My best decks are Nissa, Who Shakes the World with Early Harvest and Davriel with Mind Twist.
Oooooh mind twist my favsies.
I have a Nissa steward of elements with her triumph and have a lands style deck either strip mining them out or dark depths. Also the new Narset with her reversal with timetwister effects.
The deck I'm most excited to build for this format is Teferi Time Raveler and Finale of Revelation. That seems like a really fun combo.
Chooch1080 I was thinking the same thing lol
Fun for who?
@@zyxiarigau5528 Me........and........well.........yea, mostly just me.
This sounds awesome! I had no idea about this format. Might try and convince some people from my Commander group to try this. You really had me at “the gameplay is shorter.” Haha. I really like the whole Planeswalker/Signature Spell thing. It’s just so cool.
Oathbreaker has recently started taking off at my lgs casually, cool to see you do a video on it. So far I've been going through some of my lesser played edh decks and pretty much just cutting them in half and tweaking them into an Oathbreaker deck. Scarab God control turned into Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver/Heroes' Downfall for example.
So far the decks I've seen people build have varied wildly among archetypes and power level. I'm really glad you made a comment about it being more than a flash in the pan format because many magic the gathering players at my lgs that haven't given a try yet were worried it's just another case of tiny leaders.
I can already imagine this format becoming a competitive preference in stores. Gotta keep The combo working xD
I'm so glad you're doing a video on Oathbreaker! I've loved playing this format for the last few month, because it's super enjoyable!
I made a Jace, Wielder of Mysteries oathbreaker and I really like it. It’s self mill to take advantage of Jace’s passive ability, with traumatize as the signature spell. I’ve been enjoying this format more every time I play it with friends. I’m looking forward to seeing this format grow as it’s a blast!
I have to say, u and pleasantkenobi really have inspired me to do MTG content on my channel too. And youve made me want to try this format out!
Having a Walker AND a signature spell makes for such a huge variety in deck building! Definitely an interesting format.
Look who I found floating around in the comments :) do you guys plan on making an oathbreaker video sometime soon?
Maaaaaaaybe... 😉
Kaya, Orzhov Usurper/Path to Exile
Ajani, Mentor of hero's/Finale of Glory
Chandra Torch of Defiance/Electrodominance
Teferi, Time Ravaler/Absorb
Thanks for the great video - hoping to try out this format soon!
I'm so happy this format is blowing up
Running two mana Tibs as Oathbreaker with signature spell of fling.
Oh what fun.
you know what would be a fun oathbreaker combo to play? Liliana, Death's Majesty and Diabolic Intent. monoblack aristocrats with card location capability? yes please.
Hmmm...I think I'll keep that in mind.
I built an Ashiok, Dream Render and Mind Grind deck just yesterday. Loving it so far!
Thank you for this. I am going to have so much fun with this format.
I've got Jace Beleren as my Oathbreaker and Traumatize as the Signature. But I was thinking of maybe using the new Ashiok to get some black in there or Tome Scour for the Signature.
So far I made Tamiyo, Field Researcher with Neoform as a bant birthing pod kind of deck and its working pretty well
My friend told me about this format. Proceeded to watch some videos and now from the bits and bobs in my collection i now have a Xenagos deck with Gruul Charm as my signature spell. Thus far it's solid
I'm glad that people are finally making other versions of EDH/Commander.
I personally enjoy what I call 'Champion', which is basically a streamlined version of EDH for new players.
If you would like to see the rules hit read more.
1. You can choose any creature to be your Champion (Not just legendary creatures)
2. The color identity of your deck is not decided by your Champion.
3. Instead of immediately returning to the Command Zone, you may only return them during your upkeep.
If they would be sent to your library they are exiled instead. (If you return them to your hand you may play them at whatever cost they currently have.
This makes unsummon a godsend in Champion, and slightly broken lol.)
4. Each time they enter the Command Zone they cost 1 more to cast.
5. You can use any normal deck (At least 60 cards, only up to 4 of each, etc...)
6. You can play Champion in any format pretty much (Which is awesome in my opinion)
Reply with your variations!
I've been absent in the last few blocks, and just heard of this format. Seems interesting, want to build a deck right away! One question though, why is it called Oathbreaker? Does the planeswalkers break their oaths in the story? I'm curious.
Mono red storm/burn with Jaya, Venerated Firemage and Bonus Round
Had heard the name but didn’t really know what the dormant was. Thanks for a clear explanation, sounds like a good one to try out with my EDH group sometime!
@Tolarian Community College: Prof, I have a question: What about the "Flip Walkers"? I mean the Origins Walkers and M19 Bolas. Do you use the creature side of the Planeswalker side? I tried looking it up in the internet but couldn't really find anything. Sorry for asking but... I want to use my M19 Bolas in Oathbreaker but can't figure out how to do it.
Gideon Blackblade but no Blackblade Reforged?
You can run Steelshaper's Gift or Open the Armory as your signature spell and always be able to tutor up Blackblade Reforged.
Monowhite voltron with Gideon and tons of tutors
You would need to reequip them all each turn...
Gideon plus Armageddon seems effective and harsh.
@@KingCWaffa worth it
Man, now I want to a game of Oathbreaker on Game Knights.
If it's picking up this much steam, there's no doubt in my mind they'll do an episode at some point. I mean, they're willing to do brawl, so I'm sure they'll be willing to do oathbreaker as well.
I haven't heard of this until just now. Thanks for the video! Now my mind is brewing. Where to begin!?
Currently building a birthing pod chain style deck with Nissa, Steward of Elements and Neoform. It's been a blast to playtest!
I dont get why this video gets a dislike, its just sharing a format that may interest other people, thanks prof, gonna brew one soon.
Haters gonna hate. :/
Narset, parter of veils + windfall
probably will banned
or Day's Undoing
@@xChikyx same thought, though windfall and lab Jace seems fun
Jace, Wielder of Mysteries + Treasure Hunt : P
@@nickclemitus4598 i mean, leovold is banned in commander for a reason...
Been working on a formate like this commander unleashed that uses one instant, sorcery, enchantment and one creature or planes walker as a general. Once you cast the spell from spell book zone they go to graveyard or wherever the card says general plays the same and goes back to generals zone, play tested great!
i love oathbreaker! so glad your spreading the word of this awesome format!
I'm playing oathbreaker for more or less two months and I enjoy it a lot ! Glad you made a video about it ! The community is really responding and kind. The format is getting more hyped recently it's great !
Mono Red Burn: "Here we go again"
Honestly, I'm in love with Oathbreaker.
Amazing review about this variant format. It's funny to me that I discovered this Commander variant only a few days ago, and I already have hype to play at the local store.
Please, when possible, review Commander Adventures. It's another variant that has existed for some time and that turns the Commander table into something with more Role Play and full of mechanics that include Planechase, Archenemy and even Conspiracy.
I'm really hyped for this format, I will definitely build a nahiri, storm of stone deck with steelshaper's invocation as signature spell
Would the deck size technically be 58? Like how Commander decks are actually 99. Or would it be a 60 card deck with a separate Oathbreaker + spell?
58
Deck size would be 60 because you could have commanders with partner, in which case each would have an assigned signature spell and therefore 56 cards in the deck. Same way how commander could be 98 in you have partner commanders.
It seems silly that Doubling Season is not banned. You can run Tamiyo, Field Researcher as your Oathbreaker and Enlightened Tutor as her instant/sorcery to get Doubling Season every game.
That's pretty slow though, and you'd need to cast Tamiyo first to cast Enlightened Tutor
The problem is that first you have to cast Tamiyo, second you have to cast Enlightened Tutor and show everyone what you're getting, and thirdly you have to then cast Doubling Season. Tamiyo is already on the board so she doesn't take advantage of the Season. And then don't forget, you're at 20 life. It's pretty easy to get knocked right out of the game if they see what you're up to.
Yeah, but a lot of things have to go right for you to be able to immediately play tamiyo and get your combo off successfully. And, if you enlightened tutor for doubling season you will immediately pull the entire table's aggro because they will see what you're doing and focus all their resources to punish you for it.
You could do that, but it's still quite a lot of mana. this Format is a lot fast, first you need to play tamiyo to cast your tutor, then you need to cast doubling season, let tamiyo die and then recast her again. This is a lot more setup since you only have 20 life and aggro Decks like Giddy Geddon or Combos like Narset/Windfall or Gaeureka are a real thing, the season is almost less of a problem then in regular Commander.
@Zachary Bynx look at the other comments in this thread. It not over powered
I've been playing oathbreaker for a year now, and it's finally getting some recognition
my playgroup jumped on this format almost immediately after War of the Spark dropped and we love it. My favorite oathbreaker deck i've built so far is Karn, the Great Creator because of how his +1 interacts with Vehicles.
