"I love the idea of working so hard so you can be lazy" you just described retirement

I'm very glad to see Breena so high, when the face commanders were spoiled she was my favourite mechanically and has my favourite art. A Bird warlock smooth talker sounds like something from a really weird DnD campaign.

I imagine Nils goes home at the end of everyday to a filthy, empty, studio apartment where he engages in untold debauchery until he cries himself to sleep.

This is the first time I picked up all 5 decks. So many fun and unique cards throughout all of them.

Didn't expect Veyran to be ranked that low. At least my boi Gyome got recognition

If I’m counting correctly it looks like Octavia has eight 8s on it.

y'all severely underrated Rionya; she goes infinite with combat celebrant, other creatures that give you more combat steps. Alternatively you run Goblin Settler and blow up everyone's lands and provide the best protection in magic (your opponents cant play). Running dockside extortionist with her creates loops that easily win the game. She is probably the second most powerful commanders in C21; the biggest knock against her is her casting cost being higher than 4. She is def not a blow out in cEDH because her casting cost , but over all she is incredibly powerful and brings a new powerful way to play spell slinger in mono red. (this comment is towards the power/ uniqueness rating. On the lore end i entirely agree lmaoooooo Wizards plz)

I’m actually playing a Lorehold draft as I’m watching this video! They’re actually pretty good: currently 4-2 and I’ll tell you what my final record is in a few minutes I guess. But yeah I was lucky enough to open Quintorius (the elephant dude as you called him), Radiant Scrollweaver (who is just bonkers with two copies of Rip Apart), and not one but TWO copies of Faithless Looting!

I Love that you Go the extra mile and read the lore to all of These cards! Something what Makes ton of extra work and Most People probably wouldnt even notice if you guys would stop that. But things like this makes your reviews so much More enjoyable than the Card Reviews of other Channels and for someone like me, who doesnt know a lot of the lore, thats Pretty fun to Hear :)

Laelia also has a bunch of synergies you're missing. Beyond impulse draw, which there quite a bit of nowadays, you have cards like: Bag of Holding, Uba Mask, God Pharoh's Gift, Mimic vat, Etali, Phyrexian Devourer, grim lavamancer, Underworld Breach and other Escape cards, cascade effects, Delve, Encore, Vault Robber, Bomat courier, izzet chemister, Soul of new phyrexia, etc. There is definitely a deck there

I feel veyran should have been much higher on uniqueness, no other permanent even had done this before. I would have said power 5, fun 7, artwork 8, coolness 7, and uniqueness 10. I am bias though.

This is quickly becoming my favorite walking ballista channel.

I feel like everyone is missing the “up to” on Nils. I agree that he’s not super powerful, but I think he’s better than he lets on at first glance. He also does something the turn he comes in and at the very least gives one of your creatures a +1/+1 counter every turn.

Rionya can be crazy if you have the right build around. Goes infinite with Port Razer/Combat Celebrant and if you copy a Humble Defector you get 2 free draws for doing literally nothing except playing the game.

I was gonna pick up Breena's and Osgir's decks. glad to see they're so high

Come on Ruxa Coolnees 2? I have to disagree.

As always awesome, thanks for the frequent uploads!! Must be exhausting, take care of yourselfs guys and much love

05:10 Rionya seems like a commander made for an infinite combo, like with creatures that generate extra combat steps. Pretty sure she should be at power 4 at least. A worse Kiki-Jiki, but that's still good.

Felissa is my fav artwork of the new batch. Wow. Joe cherries you are now my 2nd favorite nitpicking nerd. Also, she cares about any and all counters. Cumulative upkeep, ect.

Theoretically Yedora, a sac outlet and temur charger is infinite mana :P Also YAY people not sleeping on Breena.

While from a competitive standpoint I do agree that Ruxa isn't very good, I think you're undervaluing him at least a little. For starters, there's nothing saying you can't play Beast Whisperer in the deck, since it synergizes with everything the deck wants to do aside from the vanilla pump. But be honest, how often are you swinging with Beast Whisperer anyway? And if you still really don't want to include him, just throw in a Great Henge or Guardian Project for the same effect. That said, his home is probably in more casual tables, which now that I think about it is likely outside the scope of this ranking system.

I made a VEYRAN commander deck, and it pops off! i added a bunch of copy spells to it! Comet Storm.... copied.... and miltikicked.... with a gittersnipe on the field. only costs 8 mana to deal over 20 dammage

I think you guys may have missed a trick with ruxa , for example in a tokens deck it becomes an almost entirely unlockable deck ...that's savage especially if it's simic tokens as they can be 20/20 creatures easily ...yet to see someone not worried about several 20/20 unnlockables lol

I found your channel through the KZfaq Shorts tab, and am enjoying your work. Enthusiastically subbed.

Rionya was very underrated here. The guaranteed token copy means you're always getting some value, there are plenty of ways in red to increase storm count easily, and there are excellent creatures she can use for the win (eg Combat Celebrant, Fanatic of Mogis)

Fain is what I've always wanted! Trading post in the command zone!

Man, you guys did my boy Ruxa dirty! Well, okay, sure, you're not wrong on the power score, but every other score should be higher, ESPECIALLY coolness and uniqueness. It's also worth pointing out that even though he's only so-so power-wise as a Commander, he's outstanding in the 99 of Ayula (who already turns vanilla 2/2s into fight or buff spells) or any other token Commander that does more for their tokens than just making them kinda' sorta' unblockable.

The art of Osgir just speaks to me. What a lad.

I feel like Ruxa is way better than it gets credit for. It basically says vanilla creature's you control are unblockable. It wants you to dump a ton of cheap beaters and then swing for a bunch of damage

Felisa is fueled by your non-token creatures with ANY TYPE of counter - e.g., Icatian Moneychanger (lol). You will be able to create dozens of 2/1 flying inklings by letting all your non-token creatures die via blocks or crazy-ass attacks. Add the new Dramatic Finale and your inklings are 3/2 flyers. Add Anointed Procession and you get twice as many tokens, etc. Felisa doesn't have to do anything but sit there. I've already built this deck list and I expect to win a bunch with it.

Black jellyfish octopi, big blue whale with a mile wide eye, Vampire squid, bugeye worm things youve never seen BABAY!

Happy I picked Osgir as my commander to build around for c21 also glad it now has the nitpicking nerds seal of approval!

Ruxa also is drawing the glyphs from Muraganda Petroglyphs, and he's a fun but janky bear commander! I have him in the 99 of my Ayula deck.

Finally with Esix we found a way to break avenger of zendikar! jokes aside, my take on Octavia was 31 Lands, 15 creatures of which most are 1&2 cost flying/unblockable and rest low cmc instants and sorceries. Probably the lowest cmc avg of any deck I made so far

Laelia, despite being not that great for Commander is one of the best 1v1 cards in the set. It's the number one card I want from C21 for my cube.

Ruxa should be 2 points up in uniqueness, 1 more on coolness, 1 more in fun and maybe even 1 more in power.

Yedora combos with morph creatures, deck feels like high power with the tons of infinite combos in command zone on top of innately good ramp

Rionya is being criminally underestimated, hello dockside extortionist, and hello threaten effects.

You guys realize Rionya goes infinite with Combat Celebrant the turn you cast it, right?

Ruxa is perfect for an Ayula bears tribal, clearly what he was made in mind for. Most bears lack any abilities

Btw on the Octavia Blue legendary that makes 8/8s Is 8 eight times just an interesting point

Karn Silver Golem is gonna be a fantastical addition to the Alibou deck. Play all of the 2 mana and under Mana Rocks, turn them into creatures, then attack

Also as someone else mentioned already you are sleeping on Rionya's power level, she's pretty nuts

Actually the plural of Octopus is Octopodes. There are three basic ideas for the pluralization: Octopi, Octopuses, and Octopodes. Because the word is Greek in origin the pluralization makes the most sense to also be Greek in origin, thus Octopodes. Yeah I know, I'm super fun at parties.

That's great the bear nasecities lol. Great video guys

Notification Squad Roll up!

The Bear Necessities. Classic.

Beezy is correct: "Octopi" is incorrect because the origin is Greek, not Latin. Yedora is mad underrated. Excellent call.

I think Pako and Haldan in particular got a raw deal on their power score. They are the only "Partner with" pair that truly don't do much of anything if you don't play both, so I get that individually they are pretty underwhelming. As a pair though they are quite powerful, certainly higher than a 3 and a 1 for power respectively. I personally think the "Partner with" commanders should be ranked together, at least with respect to power, because if you're not playing the other partner, what are you even doing?

i am surprised that Veyran is ranked so low. i have a deck with commander and i can say she is really power fully and i have gotten turn 5-4 wins with out even trying to make my deck a cedh deck. i would not sleep on this commander she is very powerful.

Veyran and Fiery Emancipation equals x9 damage on permanents. So that is fun.

Alibou with Rebecc and Losheel is truly scary. All your artifact creatures are nearly impossible to stop

In the games where I played against Breena, it actually made people not attack.

This list just goes to show how incredibly good the legendary creatures have been recently. I feel like every one of these video’s there’s like 8 new top 150 cards!

When a vehicle is crewed, which can be done at instant speed, does that count as an artifact creature entering the battlefield since the artifact vehicle becomes and artifact creature when it is crewed? This question was inspired by the elephant artificer.

Would be interested to see a category based on what decks these cards would go well in. Basically I'm trying to decide whether to make Veyran the general of my spell slinger deck or stick with Kykar and the added white.

My favorite thing about the Octopus commander is that you can play all of the Unblockable 1 mana Rogue's and a ton of cheap cantrips and they all turn into unblockable 8/8's. Blighted Agent will be the best card for this deck

1:25 What about if you run him in the 99 with Vilis as your commander? You don't just create a demon token, you also draw cards equal to that demons life.

Ruxa would work in Graham Stark(loading ready run)'s commander deck called bear force one, which is all about 2/2 for twos and bear creature types most of which have no abilities.

I think Laelia will go very well in my 1v1 Anje deck with all of the Escape cards, Grim Lavamancer and other similar effects.

Rionya is much more powerful then a 3. She has a 2 card infinite combo with herself and you don't have to cast an instant and sorcery. It is plus one

12:12, Beezy; Bye Felisa 🤣

I don’t like Nils that much but it’s worth mentioning he counts ANY counters that happen to be on your opponents creatures right?

You can give Alibou infect with grafted exoskeleton and then kill people with poison counters since she's doing the damage.

osgir with karn, karn gets the exiled cards back

I think the point of Rionya is to go infinite with extra turn creatures

I have literally destroyed people with my Teddy Ruxa. I play it with a copy/tokens. Makes my beefy fractals even beefier. I mean it's not as my commander but it is a great card.

This is my favorite series. Every time I click so damn fast...

My gripe with Felisa is that she has flying, but nothing on the art indicates that she can fly

Can yedora be used with bounce lands where you tap the forest creature, such as a llanowar elf to float Mana, play a bounce land to send the forest elf to your hand and then use that floating green to cast it again? That way you don't run out of creatures of they all become lands.

The rating on veyran seems ..... horribly off. The amount of value potential this thing gives is really damn good. Granted yes its probably better in a deck, but its by far the strongest potential commander from the prismari deck.

Octavia should be absolutely ridiculous in Talrand Cantrip tribal

Rionya with creatures that give extra combats is good such as Combat Celebrant. Don't sleep on it.

I came here to see if The bad Vito was given the rating it deserves I'm not disappointed. Well , I'm disappointed with the card. - Cost more than Vito - Doesn't Give it's value right away - Take away the life you would gain - No guarantee damage to your oponents - No activated ability to suport himself - Don't work in other peoples turns. - Both of them are Monoblack commanders , with a man with open arms in the art, who want you to gain Life The cards it's so poorly design, is like they didn't remember Vito exists. And this one it's supposed to be design for commander !

I hate Tivash, granted, but it CLEARLY says “MAY.” The ability to make the demon is optional.

Ah but you see Ruxa isn't meant as a commander my friends, it's a slam dunk add on for the Ayula bear force one deck

Currently trying to build Octavia. Trying the balance the amount of creatures with instants and sorceries is where I’m at now. I’m trying a self-mill package and some draw/discard spells to fill the grave early

Just wondering if you think Valki’s “powerful” rating should be lowered at all, based on how they’ve closed the loophole with Cascade? Does that impact your opinions of him?

Too bad with Nils the effect where the creatures can't attack you is only while he is in play instead of the rest of the game

Nils is totally typecast for the "F" you Quandrix role. Or any other counters commander/strategy an opponent is playing. If I'm playing Breena, ya I'll probably bring him along over ghostly prison...but he will be first on the chopping block if I want to swap something else in. 🤙

So hype for the Breena love

Tavish, Gloom Summoner says “may.” You don’t have to pay the life gained.

Wizards should hire Beezy to write the lore for the upcoming sets

You guys misunderstood Zaffai as a commander. It's not about casting a 10 mana spell, it's just whether the spell you SCRY is mana value of 10... So you can cast a 1 mana instant and then reveal a 10 mana card and do 10 damage. Doesn't cost 10 mana. Just saying, I've got a Zaffai deck and I rape and murder with that ability. Consistently

Could see Rionya, fire dancer getting pretty out of hand paired with Etali, primal storm 🤔

Ugh, Strixhaven was hilariously bad about the whole 'if we change a letter (or if you're very lucky, 2), it's a totally new name!' trope. I know it's hard to make up names that don't sound stupid, but the context of the game helps prevent silly names from sounding as silly. We don't need 1 letter off names in MtG, raise the new noun budget already! Note, I don't have an issue with straight up using real world names sometimes (IE in a specific plane), and we've got various examples of that. I just don't like 1 letter off names. It's a pet peeve I think, it seems so painfully lazy, worse than just 'smack the keyboard and then add vowels' system I've used before.

For the first commander the card reads you may pay X life, so you don’t have to if you don’t want to.

I was pumped for osgir but after playing it for awhile it just felt like a golgari Artifact deck.

Ryonna is boring but if u want to make the deck more powerful she combos with any double fork, to get infinite spells

I am getting curious of how would you build breena, to make her a deck worth for her 😅

would you guys consider making a Gyome commander deck?

Veyran goes into my kykar deck :)

Disagree with many of these. Veyran has a 1 card combo (Fury Storm) to kill one opponent out of nowhere and can do so much. Rionya can also produce much value.. And a few others are not given enough credit.

Prismari draft def my go too

Why do you guys hate Ghostly Prison so much? It's a pretty good card. It stops going wide strategies by your opponents and often no one will attack you as they would rather use the mana to cast spells in the early to mid game especially. I just think you all are way off the mark.

Zaffai looks like Samuel L. Jackson

IVE WANTED A FOOD COMMANDER DECK SINCE FOOD WAS A MECHANIC

Is Beezy tall or is Joe short? That’s the real question

28:22 "UM ACTUALLY" comin your way: It's octopuses because it's originally a Greek word and their plural is "es". if it was a Latin word then it would be "octopi" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fapmpNeUl8WlgXU.html

Nils is between two commanders with the same Mana cost, which is cool I guess
