I've got one with 50 creatures 15 non-creature, and it's very fun. Some comments and alternatives for what you mentioned in here: Dwyen is kind of pointless unless you really commit to elves being your primary damage source - Verdant Sun's Avatar is kind of nuts on the lifegain Copperhorn is okay, but Wirewood Symbiote to bounce and save important elves (or re-use ETB trigger elves like Wood Elves or use the Quirion Ranger a 2nd time) in addition to untapping Desolation Twin isn't special, you can get better value out of Primeval Protector, Tornado Elemental, or Cloudthresher Karametra's Acolyte isn't great, especially when Priest of Titania and Elvish Guidance exist in that price range or cheaper (plus they say all elves, not just yours) Elvish Visionary doesn't do enough for the card slot, Voice of Many is almost always better - and why draw a card when you can pick a card using Fierce Empath or Mwonvuli Beast Tracker? That's a turn 3 Soul of the Harvest if you got the mana dork with 3 lands Bloodline Shaman is pretty decent as well, it lets you mill a non-creature if you want to or just draw the top card if it's a creature (assuming Eladmri is in play to look at it)

I really like the idea of this commander but there are just not lots of ways to make lands creatures. And especially not on a budget

deck is tight with lots of value. I feel like it could use some protection. That's what I would recommend be the first thing anyone upgrades.

one green mana, 2 creatures, and you can play -any- creature from your hand or top-deck. That is absolutely insane. Turn 4 shenanigans abound.

Hey man! I just wanted to swing over to this video and send a quick thank you! Your channel, and this video in particular actually, finally put me over the edge and made me believe I could make my own channel and focus it around the very specific and niche kind of deck building I love. Today I released my first deck tech and I'm super excited. And none of it would have gone into practice without your channel and your videos. So thanks so much! I hope for the absolute best for your channel!

Scions and spawns are also Eldrazi creatures type
@nixnothing2 ай бұрын
Wait. with deceiver of forms in the scenario given, if they become copies of ulamog's crusher for example, wouldn't that mean they are no longer scions or spawns any more because they are just copies of a generic 'eldrazi' type
@CyclonicThrift2 ай бұрын
That's a good question and one I had to look up. As long as you activate the commanders ability before combat, then the pump effect and annihilator 1 bonus on scions and spawns will stick around even if they change creature types later in the turn(aka with deceiver of form). So you'll be able to get the best of both worlds. Now, if you reverse the order(wait until after dof trigger to activate Azlask), then you're right, all your creatures would not be scions/spawns and wouldn't get the added bonus

I've been really curious about this commander. It's a cool concept but it seems like it would be hard to build a cohesive strategy around. Have you played the deck at all? How does it hold up? Gotta correct you on one point though. Copying a spell is not actually casting it as you said in reference to Kalamax. Only if the card reads "you may cast the copy without paying its mana cost" would you get the cast trigger from Riku.
@CyclonicThrift3 ай бұрын
Yeah, when I built it I definitely had a more "just cast spells and see what happens" mindset than going for one particular avenue. It's definitely fun, but not as competitive as if you aimed it towards one of the modes

Hey! Interesting video, I always love to see creators sharing budget deck tech content. Lot of cool stuff here. My one complaint is that the music is kind of overpowering your explanation, I found it hard to focus on what you were saying or reading the card over it.

Hi, thanks for the cool budget tech. I have added Royal Assassin, Marionette master, dark impostor, kiku nights flower, breeches eager pillager, taunt from the rampart, descend to avernus, Bedlam, and blade historian. Marionette master strikes with 4+ damage for each sacked treasure, that hurts pretty quick. Love, Andreas

Cool! I've got a curious question, does the commander's ability reduce the cost on subsequent castings of the commander? Like, if you'd cast the commander once already, it'd cost (10)G +(2). If you had a bunch of toughness, would it just cost one green?

There is a channel called Command Quarters dedicated to budget builds and built this jelly Boi on a sub $30 budget. This was back when the set first dropped. So if you didn't see any videos of Omnath on a budget, or if your definition of budget is <$10, you weren't looking very hard 😂

A few land suggestions that I find helpful when building 5C: Ravnica Bounce lands, which return a land to your hand when you play them but tap for 2 mana in a two-color combination Odyssey Filter lands After heavy reprinting in precon commander decks, most of these are under a dollar and sometimes as low as 50¢. They essentially act like Ravnica signets, but only in allied color pairs Pain lands: These vary depending on how often they have been reprinted, but some like Caves of Koilos go for 1$ or less. The Theros temples, Innistrad show/strixhaven snarls, and Zendikar battle lands are also good budget options
