On a serious note, thanks for making these more deck-tech-related videos again!

@ThatOneWeirdFlex Ай бұрын

Any time I see Fynn, it's in the 99 as a way to turn go wide, vomit your deck onto the field, multi-color decks an instant win con. Shelob is a perfect example.

I actually play Poison Dart frog. If ramps, has reach and you can surprise someone with the deathtouch. They forget about it

@yinosanchez Ай бұрын

Lagrella is quite fun to play. It feels like a blink/control deck, constantly exiling the opponents best creatures and acquiring value, until you combo off. I appreciate these kind of videos, where we appreciate the uniqueness of a commander instead of how busted it is.

Fynn is in my Hapatra deck bc I can't afford craterhoof 🤣🤣 basically the same functionality!

I'm building this deck now, started building a week ago. Also bought the Dread Pirate figurine for extra Toxic

So, wisdom to share: Firstly, Ink Duelist and the Freezing Flame are both cracked. The former is the king of removal and control; remember, every "Arrest" and "O-Ring" is 3 cmc or lower. The later is the King of Kill Steals, sniping advantage while being useful enough to usually live long enough for a run at first. Secondly, Pauper Commander Zada is insane; budget kills are less quick and consistent, so in that environment she just gets bodies or bodies- there is no middle ground. Thirdly, decks do have back-up commanders- or SHOULD at least. Many of these are amazing at that or as tech. Maybe keep that in mind if you like 'em- or use them to HIDE the real threat. Lorcan(a) helms what was my Tegrid deck to mask her presence 'til it's time; they run near identical hustles, just that one is a 7/7 Flampler and the other is Baba Yega.

I use Lagrella in Pauper Commander. Cards like [Oracle of Dust] that put things opponents own from exile into their graveyard is massively hilarious, essentially removing their creatures from coming back whenever Lagrella LTB or Flickers. ALSO, Prototype creatures you own (like [Rust Goliath]), you can cast them for their prototype cost and then flicker them with Lagrella, causing them to ETB as their full version ([Rust Goliath] Prototype cast for 3GG as a 3/5 with reach and trample, upgrades to 10/10 with reach and trample, bypassing 10 cmc cost, in addition to 2 +1/+1 counters from Lagrellas interaction with creatures that ETB under your control with her ability). Easy cost savings. Really fun Pauper Commander, and the deck list I have is only 33$

This has inspired me to finally build a Moritte deck. I love ramping into big dumb enchantments, why not make more anyway?

@Mr_Macho_Nacho_2077 26 күн бұрын

0:59 I play a deck with a commander called Tetsuko, which gives creatures with power/toughness 1 or less unblockable. I think it’d be really cool to make a simic deathtouch deck with creatures that are 1/1s.

The video is about uniqueness, not fun. Uniqueness is objectively measured, no other commander does what Fynn does, fun is subjective, so your opinion dosn't really matter in this context.

One amazing card i should point out that works great for Valduk is Throne of Tarkir. Since you’re not attacking with him too often anyway, you can just use him as the mother of all anthem and potentially OHKO the table. Dragon Throne of tarkir very underrated card that many people cut from the deck because it doesnt do enough. With Valduk, it actually can be a wincon in the deck!

Fynn is a poison deck, a common and really bad type of deck to play against... how is it unique ? And a lot of uncommon commanders are not meant for commanders, but for draft archetypes, and some of those archetypes are repeated from set to set. The rest is really interesting and it was a cool video.
