I just hope everyone remembers that Starn's ability always triggers and can hit his controller as well. So whenever you ping yourself for one using Talisman of Creativity or one of the painlands you will take 3 damage if he's one the table.

A lot of the red spells that summon the 1/1 pinging devils are also inexpensive and super good in this deck, you swing with then and whether they die or not you still get a bunch of triggers.

I've had a Niv-Mizzet deck for over a decade, which is a 'tribute to Tim' type PING deck. I retooled it the day Ghyrson was spoiled, and he's the new Lord Tim.

Been wanting to make this kind of deck. Picked up the Tyranid deck and thought Ghryson didn't fit the rest of the deck, so I took him out, but wanted to make a deck around him.

Aether Sting, Furious Assault, Honden of Infinite Rage, Feedback, and Lightning Cloud are a few good enchantments. Ophidian Eye, Sigil of Sleep, Arcane Teachings, Hermetic Study, and Psionic Gift are some good auras. Balduvian Trading Post is a potential land to include.

If you can afford it and aren't going the death touch route, charisma is a good card to help you steal whatever you can't kill with ghyrson

I've been waiting for this deck tech ever since the Cmdr was announced and you have not disappointed.

Talisman of Creativity is a nonbo in this deck because our Commander will burn us for 2 more when we tap it. A lightning bolt to the face every time we need red or blue seems bad.

Grapeshot is a must for this deck

I'm surprised trinket Mage didn't make the cut with how good collar is

I have been building this deck weeks before warhammer was released. Incl. Shadowspear. Its another lifelink thing that also removes hexproof/indestructible that can halt a lot of the decks strat. Also, go nuts with 1/1 tokens! Give them double strike for added benefit of procs during first strike, and a bunch of enchantments that deal 1 damage for each attacking creature. Damage can REALLY add up. And easy to make them unblockable. Tremor impact and outpost seige for damage of entering/leaving battlefield. Otherwise, glad we are on same page for most things

I brought a token focused version of this guy to a local game night last week and he is massively powerful. I wasn't sure how he would perform, but tokens were easy to generate in these colors (goblins, devils, birds, faeries, and my favorite thopters) and with cards like hellrider/raid bombardment/cavalcade of calamity, putting the table away on turn 5-7 was a breeze.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the infinite combo with Curiosity effects and Niv Mizzet, which turns this already awesome powerful deck into one that can end the game at any time with a 2 card combo that you have multiple copies of!

just made a spell slinger version with this guy! excited!

I Literally played a bunch on my friends with this deck last night!! Awesome deck with fun play style and crazy board control!

I used this commander/idea for my own deck and reimagined it :) thanks for this great idea! It's the first commander deck I built and am very glad I did! It's annoying for sure and great for people that are relatively on a budget! Great job I can't be more happy :)

Hey one card that should be an auto include in this deck is the card Charisma. for uuu you cast a creature aura that when that creature deals combat to another creature you gain control of it. its great and budget friendly

I've never heard of Chandra's incinerator before but it is absolutely the powerhouse of the deck imo. If I'm reading it correctoy, it can turn ping that would normally be 3 damage in this deck into 10 damage. First it copies the initial 1 and 2 damage (6), then the commander sees that 1 damage and shoots (8) and then that shot is copied by the incinerator again (10)

If you're looking to upgrade this list, removing any of the self-damage effects like Talisman or that one tap-pinger that damages each player, as well as stuff like mana-barb effects that will just make you the archenemy on sight, are good calls. I'm personally running more non-permanents right now, like Forked Bolt, Electrolyze, and Arc Lighning to compensate. Also cut Starstorm like immediately, its such a major nonbo for this deck bc it will just kill your commander unless you have something like a darksteel plate on. In my experience he's pretty close to kill-on-sight in my pod so I already have a hard enough time sticking and recasting him as is, and I don't need spells that'll kill him from my side of the board.

Raid bombardment, Hellrider, and Niv-Mizzet are the first things that come to mind for me. And you better not forget to ad a Chandra's Spitfire to swing for a million in the air!

This is a really fun new mechanic for Izzet! Thx!

I built a deck around this commander, super similar to this. Thought it was a meme at first but quickly realised it was op as all hell

I built one, curiosity and sigil of sleep are terrifying with him

Thanks for this. I needed a new, cheap deck to play cause my friends are getting tired of my only two other decks, Miirym and Hinata. CQ saves me again 😂

2:28 First up, there's me!

Commander's Quarters could you do a review/homebrew segment on Throne Magic. Its budget friendly can be played as a commander variant and it would be amazing to see more content on this (as I currently see no one talking about this)

Curse of the Pierced Heart could also be really good in this deck if you had a lot of creatures with power 1 and toughness 3 or 4.

I personally like to run cards that can copy my commander and some key value creatures Using sakashima/spark double on ghyrson makes everything 5 damage instead of 3 Or I could use a phantasmal image on a storm kiln artist or even a young pyromancer for big value This deck has options go crazy with the Brews lads

I guess if you wanted to go in a combat focused build with 1 power creatures, then Tetsuko Umezawa could be fun, and I'm looking forward to playing with Ghyrson and Pyrohemia.

I have included devil tokens that deal 1 damage on death with a few good sac outlets.

So he's a lot like Torbrand but adds blue. Also check out scythe of the wretched or curiosity to take advantage of the fact that damage is from the commander.

Always likes Cosmotronic Wave too. Not amazing at sorcery for four, but let’s you swing in to finish off a player. Yeah there’s better, but I still like it.

I'll put one in my nekusar deck

I want a "break the budget" version!

Smoke Spirits Aid If you have a possible way of destroying X creatures, and you definitely do. Opponents creatures die Then does additional 1 damage to each opponent whose creature dies plus a treasure token for each die trigger? Sign me up!

Kill everything for 3 mana! Cinder Pyromancer out. Then play Banishing Knack and Rograhk. Target the Cinder Pyromancer with Knack, use it to reload that Rograhk, then Grapeshot. Infinite ammo, everyone is dead instantly (I didn't come up with that myself). Crow Storm (1/2 flyers) and Empty the Warrens (1/1) can also go infinite tokens ready to go for your next turn instead of ending it with grapeshot. Pyromancer, Knack and Rograhk are the key.

I also think that Torbran, Thane Of Red Fell is a really good budget upgrade to this deck, because Torbran does 2 damage when Ghyrson triggers, and usually does 2 when the original pinger does damage, because they're usually red. It usually ends up doing 4 extra damage per ping, so 1 damage would turn into 7 with Ghyrson and Torbran out. Chandra, Awakened Inferno is also a strong card in this deck, but it's around 15-20 dollars. It is pretty hard to get onto the field, but considering the amount of mana rocks in here, it shouldn't be that hard to do it. If you can get it out and keep it alive for a few turns it just wins for you. Even if it dies before you can get a second turn with it, the emblems are still doing damage on each opponents turn. I also really like Exalted Flamer Of Tzeentch, but it is around the same price as the Chandra I previously mentioned. Some more cards I like with this commander are Cavalcade Of Calamity, Burning Earth, Flame Fusillade, Defiler Of Instinct, Ophidian Eye, Niv-Mizzet Parun, and Grafted Exoskeleton. There are many other cards, but that would make this to long, as if it wasn't already. Also, why did you read this entire comment.

Honden of Infinite Rage, Smoke Spirits' Aid. Goblin Snowman, Slight Malfunction, Winter Sky, Mana Clash, Culmination of Studies, Comet Storm. Yamabushi's Storm is a 2 mana board wipe if Ghyrson has deathtouch.

Love it. I was looking for a Red Blue unique commander deck just today, so this is perfect timing!

Did we discuss the broken combo of Niv-Mizzet Parun? Deals 1 every time you draw a card. I feel like you can go way too busted

Honden of Infinite Rage, Smoke Spirits' Aid. Goblin Snowman, Slight Malfunction, Winter Sky, Mana Clash, Obsidian Fireheart, Culmination of Studies, Comet Storm. Yamabushi's Storm is a 2 mana board wipe if Ghyrson has deathtouch.

Grapeshot might look really good in this deck for still being rather cheap at about 3 dollars

Always saving our wallets while bringing the people the spice I love this channel

kind of surprised staff of nin wasnt one of the card draw cards granted its expensive cmc of 6 but its a pinger on card draw :D

Can you PLEASE do a tech on gluntch?! I just pulled it and I’m confused on howto build it! Thanks!

Raid Bombardment would do wonders in this deck

Late to the party, maybe, but I just built one of these. I got pretty close. No amulet... but I'm adding in an Arcane Lighthouse. Try and dodge the pingmaster now!

Just played a game with Ghyrson that ended with an infinite with Tandem Lookout and Niv Mizzet.

Intruder Alarm? I know it's not budget, but the $20 totally worth it! My own version is built to generate tons of 1/1 creatures and capitalize on cards Kyren Negotiations, Close Quarters, and Goblin Bombardment/Impact Tremors. Remember, every 1/1 creature you control is effectively a 3/1 with Ghyrson in play.

Rampaging Ferocidon seems strong, but potentially very scary.

Chanda's incinerator plus commander is kinda terrifying, more so than the video did it justice. Oppent takes 1 noncombat damage. Commander burns opponent for 2. CI burns a creature for 1 and 2, but commander then burns the creature for an additional 2. Every time you deal 1 damage to the opponent, a creature they control takes 5.

Defiler of Instinct is also sweet in this deck

So when I ping a player or creature for one, can I choose where that additional 2 goes? Or does it have to hit the same target again?

A break the bank is a must for this commander

imagine, kelermorph with basilisk collar and goblin sharpshooter cleaning boards together

I've swapped this guy up with both spellslinging and pinger tribaling but I think I like spellslinging more

So if you ping something while Chandra’s insiders for us on the field, dose it take 6?

Didn’t mention unruly catapult, tap to ping each opponent for 1, untaps when you cast an instant or sorcery

Please do a Omega level for Jetmir! Thanks for the videos, you have changed my way of play :)

I like this deck. What would you guys add (without considering budget)?

I get that the deck techs are super budget friendly but mentioning some killer cards isnt gunna hurt anyone? Like multiple of the Chandra planeswalkers work super well with Ghyrson, several good cards from the 40k set as well fit with him like Pink Horrors, glaring spotlight and lands like arcane lighthouse remove hexproof so you can still still target creatures, no Ophidian eye for some reason, charisma is also extremely strong. Secret sauce is getting some flashback enablers like past in flames for all your cantrips in the grave.

Not a big UR fan but this general is a fav.

Squee's Toy protects one creature that you like, or yourself, when you are dealing damage to everything

my understanding is that only combat damage from the commander counts towards the commander damage total. is that wrong?

I made a Goblin deck around him

Another way to go about this is with a bunch of creatures that tap to untap other creatures.

Just got a reprint so the price is much better Repercussion, Whenever a creature is dealt damage, Repercussion deals that much damage to that creature's controller ! Mean AF in this deck.

Talisman of Creativity is a bit of a nonbo since with your commander on the board it'll bolt you for 3 every time you activate it for colored mana. Still arguably worthwhile since it gets you colors before you get your commander out. And taps for colorless after though

Not within Mitch’s budget restriction, but Torbran would be pretty gross here too i think.

I was surprised not to see this more built as a storm deck. Grappshot just ends the game

I'm not sure if its budget or not but you didn't have grafted exoskeleton in there, could give your commmander infect and then just ping a player directly for the 10 damage :)

Am I crazy or did you not mention curiosity? Drawing off each ghyrson trigger is insane.

Tim's gonna ping! :D

Do you think Magnus the Red would be a good addition to this deck? I'm building a deck with him as commander

Ah also izzet staticaster has haste and lets you also remove a bunch of tokens at once. Budget as well.

did you ever consider Sigil of sleep for this deck?

The Talisman is dangerous. As Ghyrson will triple the damage of the talisman.

While it is a couple bucks instead of under a dollar, I would swap in a sword of kaldra. It gives your commander exiletouch.

Based in your speculation, will Ghyrson be banned at duel commander? Planning to build a duel commander deck.

would love a break the bank for this commander

Witty Roastmaster + Reckless Fireweaver + Third Path Iconoclast = ☠️

Obviously anyone who has dramatic reversal/isocron scepter should that because with just a sol ring you have infinite damage on your pingers that tab like gelactrode

Great vid as always, other Mitch. But really, no Tim? I get that he's just worse than the red Tims that hit everyone, but this just feels like his kind of deck

Saheeli Rai fits well with this commander

does curiosity go infinite with the niv mizzet in this deck?

I'd only say bite it and pay the extra like $8 for flamers of tzeentch, pink horror, and defiler of instinct. I've been fighting myself not to build this deck because I have a deck building addiction.

Pyrohemia and getting indestructible on this guy would be brutal lol

How is Grapeshot not on the list?!

Grapeshot is an easy, obvious, and impactful upgrade for a whole $0.24

Wheres the classic blue pingers?

Build him and even I can't control the craziness this card has I even die to him is madness and chaotic hahaha 😂

Was just looking at this commander last night Caltrops plus basilisk collar is a stupid combo with this

Probably don't want to put Talisman of Creativity in this deck, unless you want to lightning bolt yourself for some reason

with a clone effect you can instant kill someone who has a reidane

I know it's definitely not cedh, but flying men deck is so funny and cool with ghyrson. Play a few prison pieces and suddenly any 1/1 is a real threat, and triggers the combat damage cards too. thassa's bident, reconaissance mission, coastal piracy, curious obsession, combat research, cavalcade of calamity, raid bombardment, hellrider, so fun

Ok but ...... Why no Grape Shot or Gut shot?

Just played this with friends, enemy number oner after doing 24 damage to all 5 ppl in one turn lol

Witty roastmaster paired with young pyromancer

as soon as I got the 40K decks I instantly made a deck with him and its stupid.

Did I not see Grapeshot?
