You missed the opportunity to name tactic #3 as What's Kraken'

Fun fact about Pemmin's Aura: the enchantment gives the creature it's attached to all the abilities of a blue creature from Urza's Saga called Morphling. Due to Morphling's ability to give itself flying, along with it's other combo-enabling abilities and propensity to beat face, earned it the affectionate nickname of "Superman." Thus, if you rearrange the letters in Pemmin's Aura, you'll find it's a perfect anagram for "I am Superman." And that's why you should automatically win the game if you equip a Pemmin's Aura to a Darksteel Colossus. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ib6pZslny5-oqH0.htmlm38s

This is such a cool commander, thanks for this deck tech!

I just recently pulled a card that will work wonders in this deck. It's Serpent of Yawning Depths, it's a 6/6 that costs 4 and 2 blue to cast, it's an enchantment creature serpent with the ability "Krakens, Leviathans, Octopuses, and Serpents you control can't be blocked except by Krakens, Leviathans, Octopuses, and Serpents"

Bear Umbra! 2 generic, green green= "whenever you attack with enchanted creature untap ALL lands you control" +(totem armor) "if an effect would destroy target creture instead destroy this aura" Throw this bad boy on one of your creatures, play a shittonne of cards, attack, then play even more cards. And one of your big creatures gets protection. now that's what i call value!

Please do upgraded version of this hentai tentacle nightmare deck.

I spent hours yesterday building out my Arixmethes deck, trying to piece together information, sad that there weren't any of my usual channels with detailed info. Made the order last night, woke up to it having shipped, logged in to KZfaq to this. The timing is amazing :D Love it.

Thanks. Have you ever considered showing what cards you would replace if someone wanted to use the reasonable upgrades? Could be as simple as putting one of the original cards down and showing the reasonable upgrade appear on top of it. Either way thanks for the videos.

I've had an Arixmethes tribal commander deck ever since Arix came out, so I'm happy to see you do an episode on them! There's a few good cards I didn't know existed in here, and I'll be looking at tweaking the deck with 'em. One big difference between our decks is how I've kept nearly all cards on theme, so it doesn't have as intense early game ramp, but can still ramp quite nicely. It cost me about $75, but I've got some great merfolk synergy as well as tons of ways to give all of the giant beasts islandwalk, so there's plenty of ways to win there. Another good win-con card is Hadana's Climb. It's not as instant as the Golden Pig of this deck, but once it transforms it would let you turn your commander into a 24/24 flying, or heck, just boost another creature if someone's bounced or killed Arix. (That happens a lot, people see Arix and think "Oh no he's playing Voltron kill it") so it makes it very useful if you don't have access to your commander. I also think that Tishana, Voice of Thunder is a good card for a reasonable upgrade. Obviously your draw effects are huge, and if you have them in the battlefield, it'll both make Tishana huge as well, while also letting you avoid discarding down to 7, while also being a great draw card with all of your beasts and manadorks. With his current lowest price at $1.05, I'm rather surprised he wasn't included!

Ive been in the process of creating a Big Sea-Creatures Tribal based deck with Arixmethes over the past week. The fact this deck tech came out in the most oddly convinient manner during said process? Ive never felt more excited and jinxed in my entire life. Great video as always Mitch. :)

Love this! I built the Arcades deck with a few small adjustments, but it’s awesome! Thanks for the videos. I have one suggestion: Since I’m still less than a couple of months into commander knowing what to swap out for reasonable upgrades can be helpful. Either way- thanks! I seriously have tons of fun with my arcades deck and I’m looking forward to building a few more you have!

@The Commander’s Quarter you could include the cost make it a super budget and make it 99 Lands plus Arimethes and it’s a land tribal🤗

Looks like a lot of fun to play. I went to buy the list right after I saw this. Started to get back into actually playing magic recently and primarily in Commander format. Your deck techs have really helped give me some inspiration and ideas of what I would like to play. Keep up the great work!

I'm late to this video but I knew it'd be a good one. I always come to your channel for quick techs and commander ideas. Thanks for what you do!!

Yeeeeeesssss I been waiting for this one! My deck looks very similar to this but now I got a good idea for some additions. Thanks for finally brewing this one!

I have a clunky mono-blue sea creature EDH deck that is gathering dust & this is exactly what I needed to reinvigorate it! The untap tricks with Arixmethes at the helm are a whole new way to win, and the extra ramp and card draw spells green adds are a sweet cherry on top. Plus, I had already picked up Arixmethes thinking he'd go in the 99 in some other deck.Thanks Mitch!

One of my favorites so far. Good job, keep up the great work.

Uncommon Kiora also would be a great pick for this deck. Its budget, it's very flavorful and it has high synergy, untapping our commander and drawing cards whenever we play big stuff.

Awesome I was trying to brew a deck around the slumbering isle and include slinn voda, this saves me countless hours and I own a lot of the easy upgrade cards. Thanks Commander Quarters.

Love love love!! Just ordered the $100 version! Absolutely love a turn 2 (with sol ring) commander!! Love you guys!

Dispite being blue the inclusion of large creatures makes me happy and I wanna try it out! Thanks for the video

The best feeling is strip mining someones arixmethes with one counter left

Another amazing build, it’s like you read my mind. I’ve been thinking about a Sea Creatures build and this looks fun and exciting!

This is the first Arix deck I've seen that I've liked, nice!

My favorite so far. Unique commander, splashy spells, fun theme, and budget without feeling like a week version of an expensive deck.

I've been playing Arixmethes and the consistent ramp in the command zone is very powerful

I have been waiting for this!!! I leget bought Arixmethes a while back just because I loved everything about it but wasn't sure quite where to go with it. :)

So happy to see this channel growing. Keep it up man.

I love Simic Decks

Amazing as always! I cant wait to put this deck together, as if had Arixmethes for a while and I considered making him into a Merfolk deck. But this takes it to the neck level! Thank you again!

great video! i'll be making an Arixmethes sea-monster deck soon! thanks for the insights into the key elements!

I'm absolutely saving this, been wanting to make a simic sea creatures deck for a looooooooong time

My favorite reason for playing a Kraken in mtg is getting to say: release the KRAKEN! I love that you put that nod to the original clash of the titans in here!

I was making a braids seamonsters tribal, but I suddenly changed my allegiance to simic.

I just got this card and got so excited when I saw this video!

You are a legend! You got a new subscriber.

I've never seen Blue Stompy, this is awesome!

So, I used this deck as a base and tried making a deck as closely as possible, maybe 85% the same and got smashed pretty hard every time against a geared up Ghired Conclave deck and an Elsha precon deck(matches often turned into a 2v1 though), but even in 4 1v1v1v1 games, board wipes crippled the deck beyond salvaging (though it was an average of 5-6 board wipes per game). I changed the strategy up and removed about another 15% of the cards and exchanged some of the weaker crackens, quest for Ula, changelings and weaker draw spells for cheap spells that focused on turning Arixmethes into a little land creature or finding a way to get infinite mana ASAP, and now this deck has the potential for being a lethal threat by turn 3 or 4 (although with obvious upgrade such as sol ring). In a 1v1, under the right circumstances, it's incredibly powerful without needing to overwhelm the enemy with an army of krakens, but still has the potential to. A few other cards were: - Drift of Phantasms (Basically gives you one more chance to search for Pemmin's aura or Freed from the Real) - Waker of the Wilds ($0.14), Bypassing the slumber counters (and if you have infinite mana combo , then you can make it a 21/21 and instantly CD-KO) - Verdant Touch (If you have Infinite mana combo, you can buyback and turn everyone's lands into creatures if you or someone decides to boardwipe) - Quirion Druid (Just to turn Arixmethes into a creature faster so you can attach the aura to them if you have it) - Argothian Elder (similar to Kiora's Follower) - Orochi Leafcaller (very efficient way to filter mono green into blue) - Clockspinning It is just way more efficient to find ways to abuse infinite mana, and people don't see a 21/21 commander land without summoning sickness coming at them by turn 4

think I saw someone play with a deck inspired by this archetype on Magic Arena. They used several blue instant bounce to hand cards to protect creatures and regain enter the field effects. I had a green white token creature draw engine that lost mostly due to mass manipulation, a ~= 50 cent card.

Love the theme ! Looking for it for a long time

14:01 also note that you can put +1/-1 counters on all other creatures on the board an wipe the field even indestructible creatures.

Holy hell its like you can read my mind I just was starting to build this thank you mr mind reader

Great channel! I’m new to commander and want to try some decks other than precons. Bought two sets of cards from TCG on this channel to do just that. Thank you!!!

I basically build this deck when Dominaria came out, with Tatyova, Benthic Druid as the commander I was so happy when Arixmethes was spoiled, it's a land and a sea monster!

I have a toolbox creature deck with Momir Vig as the Commander. A lethal combo that I go for is Archetype of imagination and Stormtide Leviathan. I can’t usually be attacked and I also can’t usually be blocked.

Remember the days when Wafarers Bauble was $0.16? I miss 'em too...

If you have archetype of imagination and stormtide leviathan out at the same time they just cant attack or block. ITS A COMBO

Super wacky. Awesome!! Good to see someone make a Tribal Big Blue Badstuff deck. Would love to see some more tribal-minded commanders, too!

When I first saw Arixmethes I knew he would make for a unique commander and would be able to utilize cards that may normally not see play time

aww yea! this is sooo good, i wonder how much this tech is going to change with Allegiance and simic's awesome creature typing

Great episode

I already have like, over half of these cards *Lets get Kraken boys*

I’ve always wanted a kraken/leviathan/octopus/serpent deck ever since my first Leviathan, Polar Kraken, and Benthic Behemoth. Definitely going to make this deck next.

Thank you!

This is a really cool deck tech. I'll probably have to build it now... thanks a whole bunch XD deep sea tribal?! Like dah faq!? Dope.

Very cool. Their a lot of assemetrical boardwipe and I like that. You sure seems to hit face very hard with this deck. Looking at the curve I think I would put a little more ramp even if your commander ramp you. Any way seem's pretty fun and stompy!!!

love the card. they should make some more like it a little more often. great video my friend. going to order this card now i think.

4 months later and it's $70 to buy this deck now

Looks like I have my next Simic commander deck to build. :D Thanks!

YOOOO I was thinking of making my own deck based around Arximethus(I think i misspelled it)! And commanders quarters makes a commander deck about it! Awesooooome.

I‘m working on this commander for some time now. Not that much on a budget, but I tried to keep it in a normal range...for the mentions I would add „The great henge“; „Return of the Wildspeaaker“;“primal empathy“;“Kamahls druidic vow“; „Nissa, Steward of elements“; „Vivien‘s Arcbow“ and „Nyx Lotus“. I also play some clone-Spells like Phyrexian Metamorph, Altered Ego or clever impersonator that can be used flexible to help me (for example copy a thran dynamo or a non-legendary sea-monster. I will try to use Rashmi as a commander in this deck, which can be a very strong card advantage in the mid-game, when the big Monsters hit the field. One very special serpent is elemental in this deck: Serpent of yawning depths, which lets your krakens, leviathans, serpents and octopuses con only be blocked by krakens, leviathans, serpents and octopuses.

Awesome deck!

Alright this might be the deck that I end up making! Love the giant sea creatures deck and Arix is awesome

Awesome content! Love your channel. Already subscribed

I already have a few of these cards for my Arixmethes deck. I now need to go buy everything I dont have.

Got recommended by a friend to check you out in a newbie and not sure how to build and what does what and sync with cards

Omg yes. My first booster pack was from the Dark. I got Leviathan (10/10 trample). This deck is perfect for it.

I'm really liking your budget decklists. Perhaps you can make one based on Arahbo? It would be awesome! Tyvm

...great deck, enjoy! ☺️

Great deck as always! Love the sea monsters theme Question though: how about instead of the behemoth at the end, use the Soul of new phyrexia? Its almost the same effect and a less restrictive card

This deck seems like a lot of fun

Not quite a $100 brudiclad deck tech...but it'll do :)

If you made a wayfarers bauble playmat im sure you would have more than a few buyers...love your channel!

Love the octopodes + kraken + leviathan tribal. I'm in!

Every year, I buy up one of every wizards official commander deck they release in the fall. I thankfully have Arixmethes, so building this deck got a bit easier.

This deck looks so fun

Looking forward for your Prime speaker Vannifar deck !

There is another way to get infinet mana in this deck, Voyaging Satyr or Kiora's Follow + Freed from the Real or Pemmin's Aura + Simic Growth Chamber = infinet Green Mana, adding a "Coral Atoll" can actually give another version for infinet colorless mana.

This is a dope looking legendary

NICE! Yup new commander for sure.

I loved this card the day I saw it

I feel like tcgplayer pricing is very much not accurate, between market fluctuations, shipping and having to buy a lot of cards from each individual seller. It's honestly cheaper to buy on card kingdom.

Two other cards that I have found to be workhorses in my Arix deck is Thran Temporal Gateway as it allows you to drop out several of your creatures for 4 mana (I run a few more legends in my deck so it helps a bit more than it would in your list) and Loyal Drake. If for whatever reason you need to keep Arix as a land the drake is drawing you an extra card each turn and makes getting rid of that effect wasteful since your opponent cannot target Arix 90% of the time as a land.

Very cool deck. 👌

Another good future upgrade from Ravnica Allegiance is Prime Speaker Vannifar. Her ability allows you to sacrifice a creature and tutor a creature with cmc one higher onto the battlefield..

Thanks for this video! I was hoping to find a new commander to build and this deck looks fun. Plus it can be built for cheap? Count me in 👍🏽

It'd be cool if u could do a series where you play these decks so we can see them in play

Green has always been my favorite color, but I seldom played blue, often going for monogreen or green/white. Lately though I have been building a Kadena Deck and a Chulane Deck and I have to say that I really like the combination of ramp, big monsters and good control effects. Add white or black for some good removal aswell. That said, maybe I should go for a two color Green and Blue next? This deck looks unique and has a very cool tribal theme. Been wanting to make a merfolk theme for a long time, but if they can be a subtheme to big sea monsters then its even better.

Simic Sea creatures deck ... Very good , I m so tempted to do this one 👍

This and dragons are my favorite commander decks.

With the new set add great henge and return of the wild speaker.

thanks for the deck tech ive been wanting a decent commander for sea creatures for the longest time. Finally no Thassa recommendation for the potential card spots? You gotta have Thassa if your running sea creatures do you not lol. The new Simic cards coming out in Guilds release Jan 2019 are gonna send this deck to even more awesome depths.

Good work

Interesting commander, I am going to make one where Arixmethes rides the dilu horse. An island riding a horse into battle is just hilarious

Damn... I was so excited to go build this, then I went and saw the deck is over $120 now...

There's something to be said for a simic deck where all the big creatures are blue.

this deck is... AWESOME

Kederekt Leviathan is great with a clone effect. You play him and bounce everything. Then, next turn, you attack with it. After combat, you clone it bouncing everything again, including the original Kederekt Leviathan. After that, you just repeat until your opponent's remove either of them.

Any chance at a Jeleva deck tech in the future? Enjoy seeing your decks.

I nevee thought that someone would make THIS a commander deck
