Cut-Rate Commander - Episode 71 - Featuring Graaz Unstoppable Juggernaut from Phyrexia All Will Be One #mtg #commander #edh #mtgphyrexia #mtgone
Its time for Graaz - the last Leveler on New Phyrexia - to come crashing into battle, all too ready to crush all Memnarch's enemies with a newly converted army over juggernauts by its side.
In this build, we’ll be aiming to use artifacts - specifically token creating ones - to flood the board with bodies for our commander to turn into 5/3’s, while using the built in synergies and general utility artifacts provide to help make up for the fact that we’re a colorless deck. Of course, that means we’ll have plenty of token generating artifacts at our disposal, artifact creatures with built in evasion and/or ways to grant our creatures evasion to bypass blockers, and, since we’re not paying $2 a pop for Wastes, a whole host of utility lands that we can turn into creatures and/or use to create tokens - giving Graaz no shortage of bodies for it to turn into Juggernauts and use to grind our opponents to dust under their treads.
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! Let me know in the comments if you agreed with my build, what card think should be added instead, and what commander from March of the Machine you want me cover in future video's!

For an upgrade I think Akroma's memorial would work well but appart from that it looks pretty fun to play with

Going to smash my opponents life totals like this channel smashed the 10K milestone. Fantastic work, you’re an inspiration my dude. As far as MoM goes I know it’s kind of memey, but I really think a good and cheap deck can be built with Yargle and Multani. I’m also biased because saccing him to Jarad Golgari Lich Lord (one of my favorite Legendaries ever) and reanimating to sac again sounds so, so sweet.

Congratulations on making a budget colourless deck, this must have been quite a challenge. I think this is the best direction for the deck, with costing 8 I think you ideally want Graaz to be the last spell you cast in a game. I'm a fan of the new thumbnail design as well, it is easier to read compared to the previous one. Good luck with your last two deck techs and I am looking forward to the 10K special soon. (Congratulations again)

@doritodust0076 Жыл бұрын

This had to be one of your most challenging builds to date, and I think you nailed it. As for March of the Machine, I think the tag team of Lier and Katilda could be good. Maybe a bit on the milquetoast side as far as flashiness goes, but turning every human you cast into a pseudo Snapcaster Mage could be backbreaking.

@Galchoo1 Жыл бұрын

This... might be the best deck tech you have made so far. A creative gameplan that perfectly fits the commander and its lore while having its own spice, barely any cards that are not aimed at producing Juggernauts-In-The-Making, NOT A SINGLE WASTE OR COLOR AS IF TO FLEX ON US, and the thumbnail... it's a thing of beauty. At this point the only thing missing is you quoting the X-Men 2 scene as a post-credits gag, if anything. No wonder you managed to break 10k with Graaz of all decks. After all... don't you know who he is? As for March of the Machine... well, I have quite the fancy challenge idea - a deck based all around the lore of the set. Commander of your choice, but it has to be 5 colors, and its gameplan is not just to win, but to win by telling the story of every single combatant in this Endgame of a set. Basically, Infinity War, the EDH Deck. Though I perfectly understand if you want to save goofy stuff like that for when you have more subs, so feel free to do the new Multani/Yargle instead if you feel like it. Day 577 of waiting for the face reveal. Man... what a ride all those vids have been. Favourite moments of said ride?

@GrazzetMTG Жыл бұрын

Glad you enjoyed the content as usual & the feedback, and thank you and all of your support for helping the channel to get to 10k! I could not have done it without all of your support! A more lore geared build could be a very fun take to be honest, trying to have all the story spotlight cards in it or aiming to run all the key players in the story - though we would need to see more of the set to see if there is a 5 color commander that can support it. But as for the commanders we know so far, I definitely want to build Yargle and Multani (we can just slap a Loxodon Warehammer on him and he can start one shotting people)! And as far the ride has been son far, its hard to pin down a favorite moment. I love making the builds, testing, interacting the with viewers in the comments - but it I had to choose, I would say that my favorite moment was realizing that people enjoyed what I was doing and that people said that I was their favorite deck builder - which I honestly I may not deserve, but it did feel nice to hear. That said, cracking 10k ranks pretty high on moment for the channel too - and hopefully we'll have lots of other moments to look forward to in the future as we continue to grow.

I'm brewing Graaz right now, and there are a few mentions here that I'm using for sure. I tilted more into the +1/+1 counter theme and included more rocks and lands that can tap for any color and have a high cmc end using Sunburst creatures. Sunburst + Sunburst with Lux makes thinks come down with 10 +1/+1 counters. Going wide is the superior tactic here but I couldn't skip on having a 5c colorless deck with that sick showcase art of Graaz.

@matthewgeritz344 Жыл бұрын

That's a very well thought out budget build! The single idea I could come up with was that having just one basic wastes in the deck may be worth the extra dollar or two just for how often opponents' removal spells or effects will cause you to search for one. Assassin's trophy and path to exile are ubiquitous. With the similarity of your name and Graaz, did this one feel special? Haha! I hope you are getting enough coffee and not burning yourself out, Grazzet! Congratulations on reaching 10k subs! I still point this way to any new deckbuilders out there.

Man this looks awesome!! I am going to say Ghalta and Mavren you could go either go power matters or wide strategy and just choose one of the abilities to focus on or a little of both. With Dinosaurs and Vampires you can do so much as well.

@chrishogan9143 Жыл бұрын

Thalia and Gitrog & Goro-Goro and Satoru both seem like the obvious choices, but I'd really wanna see what you do with Yargle and Multani. Something that large and vanilla could be interesting.

Hey Grazzet, I went ahead and ordered all the cards on your build. They arrived and I love the deck. I love artifacts and the way you put this together is great. The idea that most if not all the lands do more than add man is brilliant. I am gonna join and support you. Any thought on any card upgrades since the new releases? Have you given any thought to a 60-card deck featuring Graaz? I made one before I saw this video. Maybe convert it to brawl. Thank you for everything.

@johnhoffman1236 9 ай бұрын

i got a question what about thran turbne for this deck? it has a down side of cant be spent for spells. But with this deck having so many cards that just nbeed mana it may be a good addition for the cards like hangerback, gingerbrute, hellkite, mirror works and so many moire but what would you do to make it fit into this deck or is that issuew of no spells a really big downside for this deck even though it has so many options besides spells to utilize mana?

I'm sorry, maybe I'm wrong, but The Mightstone and Weakstone will be considered White - Blue . Or did I misunderstand?

@GrazzetMTG 10 ай бұрын

Good question. As per the rules - the color identity of Mightstone and Weakstone is colorless. Color identity cares about the back of DFCs (CR 903.4d), but Meld cards are explicitly not DFCs (713.1b).

That's fair. In order to remedy that, I would swap out Bonders' Enclave for Scavenger Grounds for some graveyard hate from the land slot, oe we can swap out Patchwork Automaton for Soulless Jailer we we want come creature based graveyard hate instead (or both if you know you're going up against a one or more graveyard focused builds).
