Yea im not sure why everyone says she’s an elf tribal commander, her ability triggers off any creature.

Galadriel is nuts. I've been building her for cEDH and she's been a significant threat in most games. Lots of great suggestions in the video, particularly Koma and Danny Pink. Some others: Solitude, Subtlety, and Endurance can all be cast at flash speed for no mana and net you 3 green mana. Lurking Predators will hit reasonably often given your creature density, and once it does, Galadriel's Scry and Draw trigger will set up the top of the deck for the next trigger.

Thank you for the vid! I am amazed that everybody tries to build Galadriel as an Elf tribal. I build mine as a tokens/enchantress type deck and works wonders in mid-power tables

To further note on the Glen Elendra Combo, she comes back with a -1/-1 counter with persist, but when you put a +1/+1 counter on her with Galadriel or whatever else, it will get rid of the negative counter allowing you to use her again and again, getting you much more use out of her.

Ant Queen, Spike Breeder and Biogenic Ooze would give you a way to turn the Galadriel mana into more tokens on opposing turns. Green slime can be fortold and flipped on an opponent turn. Flash counter creatures like frilled mystic and mystic snake are proactive and fit in the gameplan, as are any instants that produce tokens such as arachnogenesis.

Sir, i just want you to know, youre the man! thanks for everything you do!

This is very unique,thank you for the ideas ❤

Caleb! Your videos rock and totally were a big factor in getting me all the way back into my favorite TCG! I really enjoyed watching your take on the commander I have built alongside watching your video about power level!! Here is my version, With blink focus, some combo magic, and a nice elemental subtheme. I really felt that Risen Reef, Evoke Elementals, Guardian Project as suggested just really makes for a busy turn with the ability to toast those pubstompers, bling on the mat, and be a fun game of magic for a pod with optimized lists (this comment NAILED and has CEMENTED me into a Commander/eDH cEDH Player as well as the 60 cards I have. Your video on power level is packed with awesome nuance and tips for the player in 3-8 "where am I?" hell??

Thanks for the amazing deck tech!

I dig it, a lot, great video, very cool list.

I made a slightly higher than precon power deck with her through mixing in a lot of Merfolk. Neat to see how broken she can be, I figured copying her would be a great route.

Had a similar idea but not the kind college of card pool to choose from- rarely play blue green or blue white- seeing these options helped a lot 👍

I just started building her deck last week. Great timing lol

She is amazing 👏

I'd really love to see you build one for Gandalf the Secret Fire. I feel like I just don't know how to build him to win games

Copying Galadriel is always a good option to consider - gives redundancy in the case of removal and lets you choose each option of hers twice.

@DeckTechsForDecks Just a comment on you as a first time viewer. I think you have a great voice for these kinda of videos. I truly believe you would have a very pleasant video of you just slowed your talking down just a little. Awesome vid bud 👍

Ok if I wasnt convinced at first, but that test play was nuts. I didnt realize how good danny pink was till it clicked with you putting tokens on everything.

Marsh flats for breeding pool lol happens to the best of us. Good content keep up the good work

While you're going through some Lord of the Rings commanders, I'd love to see a Gimli deck!

Note: The mana will also be lost between steps too. So you make the mana from making tokens from attacking. The mana would have to be used before the declare blocker step.

Very cool design

Interesting idea i really like her in the 99 for flicker

I built a eldrazi deck with galadriel. Tons of mana dorks and flash cards so ramp out galadriel, flash out more creatures, get triggers and get eldrazi out before people realize what we're ramping for

It didn't even cross my mind to include _Oko, Thief of Crowns_ when I was thinking of popping in _Oko, the Trickster_ to my verion of this deck! Looks like my _Thief of Crowns_ oathbreaker deck is going on the shelf for a while! 😂 Here are a few other cards I think that would be good for a __ deck: -_Ezuri, Renagade Leader_ -_Ezuri, Stalker of Spheres_ -_Ezuri, Claw of Progress_ (Maybe?) -_Ezuri's Predation_ -_Drizzt Do'Urden_ (2-for-1 etb & to take advantage when your big critters die) -_Primal Vigor_ -_Garruk's Uprising_ -_Leyline of Sanctatiy_ -_Leyline of Abundence_ -_Leyline of Curiosity_

This deck looks fun

I built her similar but even worse: Some cards to consider: rumor gatherer, toscaias welcome, welcoming vampire, bennie bracks seedborn muse, wilderness reclamation just all of the wolverine rider effects. You missed the enchantment that does the same. Scurry oak, scute swarm and Talrand. Then I just run 28 interaction spells and some of them also make creatures. Its basically a horribly strong drawn and go in bant

In reference to the combo at 38 seconds. You can actually do the same strategy in elf tribal using Wolverine Riders, copy it a ton, and have the same results. Not to say it is better, but elf ball tribal does all of this and ramps harder using mana dorks and elf synergy cards obviously just benefit Galadriel already.

I am building her to be a deck focused around cards like hornet queen, and tons of cards that give creatures flash

Hey Caleb, I'm really interested in trying this deck, and it seems super crazy, I have a few questions though: The overwhelming card draw from Danny seems like you run a risk of losing yourself the game by over-drawing. I'm assuming at that point you just sac him in some manner to prevent the over-draw? Also, there's no cards in here to increase your hand size, and no recursion, so while this deck feels like it has a great pop-off potential, especially with Danny in play, you end up dumping half or more of your deck into the grave in short order with no way to really interact with your grave. This definitely ends up coming across to me as "I need to kill my opponents in 1 turn after the combo activates or I die." Still looks like a super fun deck, I'm just trying to figure out if there's things I've missed that address these issues, or if it really is just designed to go all in and hope for the best. Thanks for all your videos!

This looks very promising

This is a super dope build but obviously really expensive. I’d love to build this deck but can’t due to the price. Any chance you can do a budget build?

how does marsh flats get breeding pool??? :D apart from that its a cool list! like ur deck techs!

I wonder what your opinion is on omnath, locus of mana in the 99, since he lets you keep the three mana between turns so you can get a ton of mana for your turn. Edit: apparently you can also do upwelling and horizon statue as well, but omnath being a creature and less mana is probably better (and i guess worse since he can be removed?)

Lol this is literally my deck. Dont have the glyph yet, but ive got the vampire from the ixilan precon. Danny Pink puts in CRAZY work in this deck.

I include a lot of flash sources to allow me to use all of the green mana and basically take an extra turn on each opponent's turn

You should do this for > Faramir, Smeagol, and Mauhur .

I would suggest swapping lae'zel with Kami of whispered hopes. Does almost the same as Lae'zel and additionaly acts as a Mana dork. Great Content! Keep Up the good work!

I build her this way and it was strong but it was so much to do and it took so much time to arrange and resolve all the triggers, it was like fun for no one and so i dismissed the deck.

Did mine of creature tokens an big buffs an its insane

Realy like your deck but I personally would swap Champion of Lambholt for Herald of Secret Streams. You can instantly attack the same turn you play the Herald while with the Champion you would have to get him big first before you are able to attack. And the longer he sits on the table the riskier it gets.

I had a similar idea for Omnath, Locus of Creation, wherein the idea is to get three land drops per turn (via cards such as Burgeoning, Walking Atlas, Sakura-Tribe Scout, etc). It occurs to me.... what if we COMBINED them? In addition to cards such as Tendershoot Dryad and Wolverine Riders that make a token each turn, there are a fair number of landfall cards that make a token on ETB.

Bro i'd love to see a ratadrabik decktech vod

I don't know if it is in the deck but you could run helix pinnacle for a mana sink and a win con

I TOTALLY missed Hardened Scales. With Simic Ascendency, things go nuts fast.

I also built her as a good stuff/value token deck and it’s become one of my favorite decks to play. It’s earned its spot with my other forever decks.

I would also add verdant force and verdant embrace to add more tokens on each upkeep I’d also add Pergrin took to also make a ton of food and I’d add chatterfang squirrel general whenever you make a token you get a free 1/1 squirrel

Can we (and i mean I ) get a teckdeck for Ramos dragon engine pleeeeeaaaaaaseeee!!! With artifacts or dragons??

ojer taq and other high cost token creatures feel like useless win-more here, more blink instead

bonkers

If you passed turn with that boardstate at the end, you'd be in danger of decking yourself😂

Elf Tribal or not, you’d have to be crazy not to run Marwyn, the Nurturer in here. As a three-drop, Galadriel’s mana-trigger pays for Marwyn, and not only will all the copying of Galadriel add +1/+1 counters to Marwyn via her own ability, Galadriel’s own counter-granting can up Marwyn’s power even more. Personally, I’m always for more *Tap for an assload of free green mana* effects. If you happen to stumble across Rhys…. Edit: To be fair, Galadriel can be a pretty great Commander for Elf Tribal. I like being in Bant rather than Simic, but other than Chulane and now Galadriel, most of the Bant Commanders are pretty specialized. /shrug

37s in and still first

3:05 There he is!

You could also just add Emiel the Blessed + Panharmonicon and game over.

2 Things, 1, Why no Cathars' Crusade?? 2, Copying Galadriel Is Extremely Useful.
