Sweet your welcome :)

Lol yeah I thought it was +10/+10 also, literallly had to re-record the segment once i figured it out.

blocking is for Selesnyans ;P

Body and Mind funny enough is actually good in 1v1 edh (assuming you didnt combo'd out on turn 2) because those 2/2s are much more meaningful there. I still think War and Peace is another one that sits in a weird place. The fact that people are drawing more cards than ever might be a reason to slot it back in...but theres so much competition.

Oh jesus, yeah that seems good.

Remember its just not Lightning Helix in the command zone. Its a shit ton of lightning helixes in the command zone :)

Haha I love how you took reading this comment as another reason to gush about it. Yeah you don't need to sell me on it! It's much cooler than it looks at first glance. I'd love a boros control deck in my collection

@@chrismarlow9585 I get excited. :)

Ya know way back in the day I was decent at it :) But yeah ive generally gotten worse at it over time.

Zombie gets salty when I remove his stuff. But the alternative was him copying grasp of fate every turn and no one having any permanents. Lol yeah, definitely rusty. The 4 swords of forge and frontier did things to me....emotionally.

@@CommanderReplay Hey, just to let you know, Yenna only allows copying an enchantment once. I don't think Zombie would have of been able to copy that grasp of fate over and over, unless I am missing something.

@@devlinmee2974 oh whoops! too much text on card :)

Thanks man. I thought that was the more interesting build in the sense that it’s not blatantly obvious when reading the card. The attack version is definitely more me tho :)

It sure is. After messing with greatsword of tyr a while back, and even more so with the +1/+1 counters deck, ive been very intrigued by the concept of creatures that scale. I dont think people consider those type of effects enough. Taurean Mauler is always scary whenever it shows up. Forgotten ancient was a staple like 10 years ago. Its just strange to me that the format kind of overlooks these things now, but they are still very effective.

@@CommanderReplay agreed! I run both Taurean Mauler and Forgotten Ancient in decks and people often say, "Wow, those are old commander staples!" They can get so big and take a player out if I gain trample or evasion.

So this one was sent in by a former patreon. As a thought exercise i thought about where the upgrades might be for this deck. I know theres been a lot of angels the past few years, so definitely gonna be some creature upgrades. I think the nasty stax pieces are probably about the same since they dont usually print those anymore. Probably a few cool card enchantments like chivalric alliance also.

This video is older than Karlach. Karlach is great though, definitely a top pick for me.

Oh man I wish I could. Im about to get slammed with MH3 stuff that I gotta film. But it is a cool commander and theres a lot of small nuanced choices you can make with her.

HH on another creature, blink aurelia with the sword trigger. Every time she attacts is the first time because shes a new object at that point.

Thats probably a both situation. They sort of do different things. Clamp gets you lands and other non creatures which is important at certain times.

yeah absolutely. Great protection spell. You may have to cut something fun for it, but just as a reference point my strong aurelia deck runs like 10 protection spells. The value of keeping your stuff alive is immense.

@@CommanderReplay is that the savage aurelia deck? 10 protection spells seems like a lot. Is that because you need to protect aurelia?

@@DracoMagna Yes that is correct. Yeah it is a lot, but keeping stuff alive in that deck means you win the game....usually. I havent looked at the list in a while, so it may be possible to cut 1 or 2 for other things, but the idea should hold true.

@@DracoMagna Aurelia is a big target, and feast and famine or AA are as well. Also people just like to spend removal on voltron decks so it sort of just became necessary.

Yeah that was a lot of the issue I had with velomachus. It is just overcosted at 7 mana. And its like realistically, how many attacks will you get a game with him? So then whatever spell you hit needs to be big. Its just a really tricky commander that I definitely havent mastered.

MTGO, see the wotc website.

Im not sure i understand the math on this one.

@@CommanderReplay I misread it. It is a 6/6 but it gives +1/+1 to each OTHER creature for each keyword it has. I thought it gave the buff it itself, which has 4 keywords (6+4)

@@brandyourfan9244 Oh yeah that makes sense. What I can tell you is really cool is if you can get original akroma and 7akroma on the field with an aurelia....its so much damage. Even better if you can assemble full akroma tron which i think ive done once.

@@CommanderReplay That would be sick.

I dont think its on magic online....i coudl be wrong, but im pretty sure its not.

Yeah I agree, the risk isnt worth it. Getting mulligans right is a big part of the game that I think people play too fast and loose with.

but so much worse.

Iona was banned several years ago from EDH. It was shocking news at the time, but it sort of made sense. The real question is why other similar "no one can play the game" cards are still legal. But yes if youre playing edh you can discuss with friends before hand about using Iona. Note that you may only 1 get or 2 opportunities before they get annoyed with it. Ive wrecked many what would have otherwise been fun games with Iona over the years.

Oh yeah didnt think about infinite blink loops. Probably more of a 99 in that deck kind of situation tho as it might be tough to setup for this deck.

Yeah Orim's is a really solid choice. I should probably start running that one more too.

ah nice didnt realize that they had the land types on them.

in my experience, you want to run ojer OR dmg doublers/increasers since they dont work nice together. your opponent gets to choose which doubler deals damage to them first so if you have something like furnace of rath and ojer on the board, dealing 2 damage to the opponent will always result in 4 damage (double the 2 damage, then check if it is less than ojer's power). even with phlage, this will always result in 6 dmg since you just double the damage first and then check if its lower than ojers power. to run ojer properly, you will need power incresers (like equipments) and in that case it requires too much setup pieces to synnergise well with dmg doublers. however, you can still run ojer as an extra "doubler" effect in case you expect your other sources to be removed always consistently, just be prepared for ojer to be a "dead card" if you already have such an effect in play or become one if you draw something that doubles damage.

@@pepi560 yeah true, just saying it is a durable option :)

I had considered Ojer but just left it off the slide cause I wasnt exactly sure how good it would be, since you probably need to pump it a little to really get good benefit from it...and now you're talking multiple steps that need to happen, when you could just drop a tripler instead :)

@@CommanderReplay Fair enough. It's a quadrupler on its own if the effects are pings for one :)
