C'mon this is clearly meant to be a Voltron commander, they have all the tentacles required to hold all the swords.

As a dnd fan, I shall refer to this deck as “xanathar’s guide to everything” since it guides my opponents to scooping everything up and conceding

4:30 I don't know if anyone else caught this, but that line "What a dream come true... For Xanathar anyway" was PERFECT! In the lore, a beholder is spawned only when another beholder imagines it into being, often taking the appearance of the previous beholder if that beholder is imagining images of themselves. Because beholders hate each other and each one considers themselves superior to others, beholders go to great lengths, often becoming very paranoid, to prevent the spawning of other beholders. Often the only time other beholders spawn is when (you guessed it) they fall asleep and accidently dream another beholder into existence!

I feel as if the Instructor should be presenting this deck

A beholder has no friends. Only puppets that move and act as he wishes.

This is the "I don't need to bring a knife to a fight, cause my oppent will probably have a spare gun" - commander

"It's a dream come true, at least for Xanathar." * Snickers * Good one. Much lore, very D&D.

Last time I used the word "fair" while talking to my playgroup I was referring to agent of treachery being a 7 cmc card And they bought it :) (first game only though :/ )

"Lose friends" - You can't lose what you never had

“A dream come true”, I see what you did there prof

And it can run not just opposition agent but hull breacher too!

I love MTG so much that the only way I can conceive of to fully express my love for this game is to build a deck that will ensure no one ever wants to play this game with me again.

this deck can literally be called "Xanathar's guide to everything" your opponents own

Time to join Urza and Tatyova on the “asshole blue decks” shelf.

Hello. You are an amazing delight of a person. Thank you for making these videos

Can't lose friends if you don't have them in the first place.

“The deck is going to have a very aggressive ramp package-“ > checks bank account “No it is not.”

I can hear the instructor laughing as he watches this video.

Proffesor, blink 5 times if the instructor is holding you hostage.

I was adamant about not caring about anything from this set. After seeing this deck tech I have changed my mind and now want to build just one asshole deck

I feel like the Professor went to the cEDH subreddit and asked "How do I make this deck as optimized as possible while focusing on abusing Xanathar and this is what they built him. It's just missing the Thassa's Oracle combo package.

BEHOLD the empty void were my friends used to be.

Every time I remove Xanathar I’m going to say “it’s all in the reflexes.”

Hahahahahaha!!!! Loved the intro giving advice on how to convince your playgroup that this card is not that great!!!! Love your suit too Prof!

My argument for how fair he is will be: "How could you say no to that face?"

I appreciate the “it’s like a dream come true” joke (bc beholders are born from dreams)

Awesome video professor! Keep up the great work! I'm interested in trying this out now.

Thank you for showing me how to build this deck. I can’t wait!

I'm buying this deck now. To be fair, it's nothing less than I'd expect from Xanathar.

Thank you professor for making a fun and friendly deck this would be my favorite deck.

Are we sure this wasn’t supposed to be a video from the Instructor?

Hey professor, I admire that you put minimal ads on your videos. I watch ever add because of it. Hats off to you good sir

Thank you Prof, I wanted to build this and you just made my day!

"Come on! It's just a 6 CMC meatball that doesn't even create a goldfish token, it's fair game!"

Gotta love how this is based *only* on the new commander and old cards that work with it. Who knows how crazy it can get utilizing whatever *new* cards wotc have undoubtedly designed to compliment it

"What a dream come true." I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.

Professor I hope you feel successful, you have about 6k views in but 30 mins. You are an incredible person and an amazing and informative person. Thank you for being around to help this great game and the people who play it. I just wanted you to know that you are appreciated.

Me “wants beholder card” Wizards makes cards, me “not like that.”

Great video as always Prof!

I feel like the Instructor was intended to make this video but was busy

This is the third standard set in a row with a "Play with opponents' spells" commander.

So we’re gonna run it. That’s the spirit 🥰

Keep up the good job prof! You taught me all i know about magic

I was planning on building this, thanks for the solid foundation

“Bring a smile to everyone’s face” Love it

Nice background work, loving this...

"What a dream come true" As a beholder's are known to do.

Didn't think he'd be my new mill deck commander. Thanks for opening my eyes Prof!

I like that your answer to "Sen Triplets is better" is to just make Xanathar a more complicated, less consistent, and bloated version of Sen Triplets. You really convinced me, Prof.

My word. Now I want to build this deck. Thanks Prof.

I’m pretty new to Mtg and just reading this card initially scared me haha. Thanks for the videos, I’m learning a lot :)

Hey Prof! How about a Pauper EDH deck next? Using one of the uncommon legends from Forgotten Realms? C'mon, I know you like a challenge.

Great video as always, Prof 😁

Love that they finally went mask off about fully intending magic to be played by only drawing lands

Kudos Professor, that was real fast. And evil. Xanathar would be proud!

Professor, It speaks worlds about your work that you make a video and your fans instantly recognize it should have been presented by one of your ancillary characters. Now my only question is where is the Murry love?

Great title! Love it!

Hmmm, super delicious

For a player that Built Urza's Stacks and Zo-Zu the Punisher Land destruction after your inspiration, I too will again have to develop this beautiful piece of cardboard deck. Love it, Live it, Breath it. Thank you once again for such a lovely concept. :) Prof you are simply the best.

"Pithing Needle: Xanathar, Guild Kingpin" is going to be a very common phrase from now on

Nice to get recommended this after my first game of commander and magic in person with friends.

wow, and here i thought i had to attend tolarian state college to get this kind of information! thanks prof!

The Xanathar is pleased by your contribution. Welcome to the guild....you may even look after Sylgar.

This is probably my favorite card of the set, with the deck of many things as a close second.

This is how you turn commander into archenemy - and he completes me.

Hey Prof'. Firstly - love your channel, honesty, personality, passion, humanity and enthusiasm. I've actually cried watching some of your videos. You're a real inspiration to me. Secondly. I'd love to know what kind of furniture (yes furniture) you use/recommend to actually store boxes of cards. Which bigger boxes fit better with which drawers and drawer sizes etc?... I know this is a big ask, but something I've been thinking about a lot. Cheers

MOVE OVER OONA!! (Jk, I could never). Was already brewing a list for him, and was delighted to see this decktech; My favorite little touch on this card is Xanthar's pet goldfish, Sylgar just chillin' in his bowl in the corner. As a lifelong mtg player who's played like 4 total hours of D&D, this is the extent of the D&D easter eggs that i'll prob recognize, but you just have to love the flavor of this set! Rock on, Prof!

What I tell you man! You are my Idol!!! Never stop! Thank you for getting me back into magic! Maximum Fun Zedruu please.

That “dream come true” joke works on so many levels.

Totally agree Prof!!! Goes right into my Sentriplets, and will gather dust like her, cause no one wants to deal with esper control.

Oh how long I've waited for this type of commander

Thanks Prof! I was (probably) going to build this commander, and this gives me some good ideas for that deck. I'll let my friends know it was your fault.

Wow I'm early. Thanks for this video Prof!! Xanathar looks like a lot of fun

I really didn't wanted to play this card, but you Prof just convinced me to try and build this fellow in a lantern kind of way, it's absolutely positively fair...

I'm a little disappointed that "Melkor and Mairon" are cut off by the text box. I can't even have some eye candy while I'm losing the game.

This is truly a deck to ... Behold. I'd like to see a deck tech on Garth One Eye. Thanks, Prof.

Awesome! I didn't realize you play cedh prof!

Nice Video!

Zedruu is my favorite commander for locking out your opponent. Shared Fate forces everyone to play everyone else's deck, while helping you draw more of their cards and gain life if they dare to take your cards. Or, you can run it with Painter's Servant and the on color leeches, like Ruby Leech, calling Red and then giving Ruby leech to the person not running mountains. You can also run Nine Lives, give it to an opponent and threaten mass bounce spells, like everyone's favorite Cyclonic Rift, but also: Displacement Wave, Devastation Tide, Flood of Tears, Reduce to Dreams, and even Sudden Disappearance. Plus Jeskai has plenty of interaction, removal, control, and card draw. As well as some ramp thanks to Red.

This will be my first commander deck!!! Going to catch the lgs by surprise

I love Dimir and this scratches that itch...only one or two cards I'd need... as a side note if you wore a white shirt in this video your tie would make it look like Spider-Man is on you due to that amazing tie!

What a dream come true for xanathar, this joke! If you don’t get it beholders reproduce by having dreams about other beholders

I never got to play leavold. And latern control looks like such a fun modern deck. im very excited to build this.

Opponent: *Has a card on top of their deck* Xanathar: 👀

Will be including it in my Tevesh Szat // Kraum, Ludevic’s Opus theft tribal deck.

Honestly was expecting more Mindslaver/Emrakul type shenanigans. But I like the way he went with this.

Missed opportunity to call this: "Xanathar's Guide to: How To Lose Friends And Alienate Commander Playgroups" Great Vid as always prof! Every spoiler in this set is more exciting that the last!

you sir are evil with this deck idea.......and I love everything about it.

With forgotten realms coming it will be really interesting to see the types of decks people make.

Oh. My. Gosh. Expected some halfway decent deck to find out you made it absolutely busted. This is going to be my first commander deck ever to!

My dad plays mtg and he loves this card. Always puts half the counterspells ever printed in the history of magic in all of his decks.

I'd be interested in seeing a video on osgir. something about casting myr battlesphere from my graveyard with anoited procession and watching my myr go burrr really gets me going.

Beholders are my favorite D&D monsters so I’m gonna build this deck whether it’s mean or not. I’m definitely going to build a powered down, more fun version of this deck. Playing cards from my opponents is cool. Stopping them from playing cards isn’t. But that’s the beauty of Commander: You can power up or power down a deck by changing out what cards you put in it.

Well thanks for the video. I had to share it. And I'm pretty sure I'm going to put every card you listed in this video in a 5 color. And remember commanders magic is fun for everyone.

my Commander pod instantly went " Sen triplets is better" and i wanted to say something about how much nonsense you can do with all the extra turn cards there are in Blue, or copying him multiple times with Sakashima and the like. But now you have done it for me, thanks Prof!

I feel this could have been an Instructor Video but still it is fun to watch

Another insightful deck Prof! as for the next one, I would be interested in what direction you would take either Shadrix Silverquill or Hamza, Guardian of Arashin :) keep up the great content!

For me this is going in my "Your Deck" helmed by Ravos/Kraum. It loves effects like these.

I Busted out a slivers deck and my group went "take down that ex-communicado" mode on me. I ended up in an alley broken 😵
