Jodah is absolutely a commander for beginners. You truly don’t have to be strategic to play it. It basically pilots itself

@levisavage6568 Ай бұрын

Put on the helmet. Run into walls. That's what I say to people when they ask to borrow a deck, and I am describing my decks. Because, you don't need to think...just put the helmet on and start running. and the deck does the rest. legendary critters go sideways. Uga uga chaka uga uga chaka

Yarok is one of my pet decks, yes it can do busted land things but there is a lot of other things it can do. Infinite mana, draw its whole deck, infinite life drain, steal the wholes tables boards, bounce the entire tables board, etc. You now have more ETB doublers with Virtue of knowledge and Panharmonicon, as well as using Spark double to copy Yarok and clever impersonator to copy anything you need including virtue or pan. To be fair a chunk of these commanders are CEDH commanders and I wouldn’t play them anywhere outside of high power and CEDH. I am just getting more convinced to build some of these decks now haha.

Whenever I play Jodah, it's me against the whole table, three-versus-one-headed giant style, which is its own kind of fun. Outlaws of Thunder Junction added a lot. Yesterday, I ramped with Bloom Tender and got Annie Joins Up; Kellan Joins Up; and Kellan, the Kid out, all before Jodah even hit the table. Absolutely ridiculous.

because of that, i gave my jodah deck a theme to make it less goodstuff and traded some synergies and busted auto includes for more fun for the rest of the group, and also me. i build jodah in the way that i can include only universe beyond cards and made him a UB Typal deck. atleast the art. you got all your typical ramp and carddraw eitjer reprinted with universe beyond art or have other options that fill the same role. obviously there are a lot of interesting universe beyond legendaries anf some really work super well with jodah like the war doctor from dr who or gimli of the clittering caves. jodah can be a super busted commander and honestly giving your deck a fun subtheme or building challenge can reduce the power of these commanders just enough that you can play them in your normal fairly optimzed games if your tired of being archenemy or tired of people complaining about you wanting to play your deck

People see me just hiding away, prepping a big board state or attempting to just go for the win, it's fun for me to see if I can fight through adversity or not. If people don't play much interaction at the table, I simply won't play it. Time and place.

Ward is one of my favorite keywords simply because i hate when ppl always target my stuff. It’s never fun when your commander gets nuked immediately the turn it comes out over and over and having that extra turn or two of protection makes a huge impact on actually being able to get setup or get some use out of it

@Charley-ju6yg Ай бұрын

Really love Ward as well, cause it's such flexible protection. Mana, Life, Sacrifice, Discard, there are so many different Ward costs that brings variety to the game. I could also see Ward in the future including specific colored mana, making it untargetable against decks that don't play that color. Kind of like a weaker protection from x color

It is one color but elesh norn mother of machines is broken stoping your opponents etb's and doubling yours and because white is good at exiling things you essentially make Sure they have no board while having everything happen on yours. And because there is ways to go infinite with etbs white is good at gaining life when creatures enter the battlefield. And because they have no board you can sometimes win with cards that say have this amount of life win the game. Probably one of the best white commanders

@MandoEmmm Ай бұрын

I have a Stella Lee deck that I personally don’t have the combo cards but I’ve upgraded her and she feels really nice to play. But playing against other decks she was not broken and lost most games unless you can get a mizzix mastery going with a ton of things that make tokens. I think she’s the perfect spell slinger deck without all the combos. Because she dosent force you to play only instants and sorcery’s to gain value which is nice and it’s balanced since your not getting triggers off your instant and sorcery stuff.

Fantastic that Hinata taxes on everything not just protecting when they target your things but also their own or other player's items as well. Have seen this misplayed before. Opponents auras cost 1 more even if it's their own creature. Returning target cards from graveyard to hand? Costs that much more. Wanna blink your stuff? One extra for each. Wanna have target player draw two cards? Gonna take one more mana.

@leogimain Ай бұрын

Nice video and I agree with a lot of takes. Though including a commander that has not been released yet into this list feels strange. Like yes, on paper this commander (Stella Lee) is really, really strong but we have no experience to say that. Before the Kotori mech pre-con in kamigawa was released (and even a couple months after the release) no one recognized just how broken Shorikai was. A couple of years later, that card is the 13th most built commander. All I have to say is that our pre-release opinions matter less than post-release and just wanted to say that I believe including Stella Lee in this list is a strange decision. Also saying "All you need to do is" (45:08) then giving a long list of requirements is definitely one of the ways to add a huge bias to a take. I mean this commander requires you to cast 2 other spells, give haste (or atleast have it stick on the board), cast an untap spell that gives extra value, then find a win from that extra value. Not trying to say this commander is not really good, just saying that including Stella Lee instead of Niv-Mizzet, Parun is strange. Niv-Mizzet, Parun is a literal two card combo that wins the game without extra steps. As this 2 card combo includes protection (can't counter niv), card draw, and damage. Then you have other alt-win cons such as Thassa's that would be this combo's equivalent to Stella's finisher if somehow +90 damage doesn't win the game on the spot. EDIT: To summarize my point, I do not like hating on a card before it even sees play because in pre-release season people are wrong all the time. To the point to where it is a meme: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9J0q6x4narLnWw.html So bringing this much hate to a card before it is even released is just adding extra hate to a community for 0 reason (because the card was released 2 days ago). This video is different than Mitch's spoiler video because we expect to hear first impressions of card in a spoiler video. This is adding hate for the card that people want to play before their pre-con is even upgraded.

@oliverbrain4790 Ай бұрын

This is completely true. I went up against a Stella deck on Spelltable last week and even in my head I was like "oh great this is gonna be nuts" due to the overreaction online. I had never seen or played against the card before that. It was like, OK. Did a couple of cool things and then got destroyed. It definitely was not Korvold/Jodah levels of nothing-you-can-do-about-it sillyness. I'm sure there will be some excellent Stella decks, but it is definitely harder to go off than some of these Commanders.

14:00 Correction, K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth was "updated" to be "Legendary Creature - Phyrexian Horror Minion." Pronunciation for those interested, say "Urik." i play him competitively, and while i've not done the Shadowborne Apostles build, he is very powerful and keeps getting cards that improve his ability to "stand up" while at the same time potentially being one of the worst competitive choices you could play. i'm looking at maining Magda, Prossh, or Korvald (fae cursed) instead. And please, i know how "good" Necropotence looks, do not play it in K'rrik. You have Vilis. Honestly, in my opinion, if the legendary creature would qualify for this type of list but does not have access to blue, that just means it meets the minimum requirements to compete in competitive environments.

I personally like running a few brawls on the side line for the people that didn't find a pod or table to play with. It's a great format to introduce new players to the game. The game's typically only go to turn 8-9 at a casual power level. you dont have to worry about being the archenemy meaning you can put on the gas early on. Any cedh decks are completely bonkers in a 1v1 format as there's only one opposing player to check them.
