Indeed Etali is strong, but if replaced with more synergistic card you can help extract more value out of the deck rather than just a singular strong card.

it is a cool creative deck and in order to consistently do that cool creative thing you have to make some changes... to reduce the amount of nongame you have...

Haha you can never have enough blue 💙 🤣🤔🤦

Helga just seems exactly like chulane. A boring creature value engine that just storms off.

@@devan9197 the difference in these comments is funny asl lol

​@@jabrilwhitethe only restriction is that it has to be four or greater mana. Other than that Helga draws cards, gets bigger, and adds mana. To me it just seems like very boring card design.

Helga definitely offers a lot of value and you can definitely use that in different ways. 👍

Great shout considering all the kindred/tribal stuff coming in bloomburrow 👌👍

Some great suggestions here thank you for sharing 👍👌

should the copy ALSO trigger on Young Pyromancer ? making a 1/1 each time you copy something with Stella lee ??? _ i have this question coz SOME cards do say "when you cast or copy". but those cards i mention just say "when you cast"...

If your referring to the isochron scepter loop Guttersnipe says : whenever you CAST an instant or sorcery Isochron Scepter says : copy the exiled card and CAST it for free so yes guttersnipe would see this and do 2 damage to each opponent. Regarding Stella lee i believe it to work like this... Stella Lee says 'tap' copy instant/sorcery you control (this means on the stack) so the copy would be created and not cast. This would not trigger guttersnipe as he cares about cards being cast. So you would get guttersnipe triggers on the first 3 spells CAST but not the COPY stella creates. hope that helps. Edit: this is also true for young pyromancer as they also just care about cards being cast. Something like 'storm kiln artist' would trigger of both the cast and copy as it states both effects in its text.

@@Spencer4686 oh, awesome! thank you so much. I want to build a strong CEDH deck, with Stella Lee, as i do not have CEDH, i mostly build budget decks... So i understand Stella can copy some spells than make her go Infinite ... but i want to find a easy and cheap way to just winning, that is not just Twisted Fealty

@@MrRomanrin have you checked the CEDH database? cedh-decklist-database.com/ Niv Mizzet was my first CEDH deck loads of Izzet combos that can win quickly plus your in blue so all the counter spells to protect your win and stop your opponents. 👍

and will we see another style of product for foundation sets which are core sets but not core sets... who knows... I think if play booster where just more affordable that would solve the issue we have for making product more 'accessible/cheaper' for new players, as this just further justifies buying singles.

spicy, i'll look into this one! thanks

I do mycosynth lattice, darksteel forge, and a destroy all artifacts (Nevinyrral's disc) then combine that with a remove all hexproof and shroud (arcane lighthouse land or shadow spear) then u have a infinite bored wipe along with a unwinding clock and its pretty much over because yes it would destroy all lands too :3

​@jassykinz I like cycling Decree of Annihilation with the Lattice-Forge combo. Harder to stop, you can do it at instant speed, and it replaces itself. Infinite Nev's Disk is basically game over and has made friends threaten to quit the pod which is why I stopped using it

How about not telling others how to play or enjoy commander? If you don’t like combos in commander that’s totally fine, also finding a play group that has the same mindset is totally fine. But there are enough play groups out there that enjoy playing with combos and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that either.

I get you, remember though it's possible to have a combo as an alt wincon in your deck or play a combo without tutors it's rare i get it and frustrating when people play with super optimal decks but that's not most players in my experience. Anyways chin up and thanks for the nice words around the video i appreciate it!

Thank you, glad i could be of help.

Good shout, nice top end evasive creature that has impact on the board when it hits. 👌

Martyrs Cry is an interesting card. Exile all your white creatures for a big burst of card draw. Sorcery speed lets it down a litte due to the type of effect it is. If you have lots of white creature tokens could net you a lot of card draw. the problem is if you draw it late game and you need your creatures to defend.. it becomes a dead card unless all players are running mono white decks... :/ Exile creatures is great on sweepers as like mentioned gets round graveyard shenanigans ;) yeah I miss spoke but i got the right card on screen haha. sorry about that >.<

@@Spencer4686 Martyr's Cry is far from perfect or consistent. I view it as part of casting a board wipe. I tend to play more boardwipes than I should, perhaps.

I might put one together :) dirty dimir tricks haha

lightning greaves gives 'Shroud' which means equipped creature can't be target of anything (spells, abilities) that includes by you as well as your opponents. If a card or effect says give all creatures +1+1 counter it won't change anything. If the card/ability says give 'Target' creature a +1+1 counter lightning greaves says no you can't target this creature because I'm giving it 'Shroud'. As for experience counters that goes on you the player not a creature so lightning greaves has no bearing on that even if equipped to Meren. So even if Meren or Ezuri you have the experience counters on yourself the player.

@@Spencer4686 very good explanation thank you

@@keithmahler4236 not a problem glad i could help.

@@Spencer4686 I made a deck very similar to your meren deck it's pretty good maybe one day you can do one for ezuri I'm building him now he seems like he will be fun

@@keithmahler4236 Ezuri claw of progress? if so very nice i use to have a ezuri deck considered putting it back together the other day actually. love me some +1+1 counters 👌

I have a combo video coming out soon. But here's a brief explanation. Activate Yawgmoth pay 1 life sac gray merchant. EDIT: declare target of the effect on a 2nd creature (the -1/-1 counter) Mikaeus triggers bringing back the gray merchant as he's non-human Resolve the Yawgmoth trigger now. Activate Yawgmoth sac the 2nd creature and target Gray Merchant with the -1/-1 counter. Mikaeus triggers bringing back the other non human creature with undying. Look at the placement of the colon in Yawgmoth ability, you pay the activation cost then do the resolution due to how the stack works Mikaeus trigger jumps on top because of the death trigger. EDIT: this is true but you need to declare the Yawgmoth target first so a 2nd creature (with undying) is needed to make a complete loop. Hope that helps

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@Spencer4686 I don't believe that works because Mikaeus gives Gary undying, and since undying uses the stack, it will come back after Yawgmoth declares a target for the -1/-1 counter. You need to bounce the -1/-1 counters back and forth between Gary and another creature. (yes, I know that's super easy to do, but it is just another step)

You are indeed correct, my apologies this comes down to when you declare the target of yagmoth's ability - when the tigger goes on the stack. Gray Merchant won't be there as he was part of the cost. so you would need to bounce between two creatures. Good catch, thank you!

Yeah warren is a great card for the deck and even the green and black flare of as they both let you sac creatures so nothing but upside. 👌

Whenever you have priority 😉

Hold your heathen tongue good syr (or madam); Maarika is great; she's like Zurgo, but with sac' replacing destroy effects.

Sounds great! Yeah there's a big delay with universes within versions. Might be due to contract and exclusivity with the IP... Who knows. 🤔

Not a problem, go enjoy. 👌👍

Which is really easy in white plus a few equipment 👌 no more command tax so to speak haha.

Yeah she is mostly built as a fight style commander according to EDH rec I guess that gives her a more control style game plan..? I just thought running equipment just allows for beat down on a very nice body that then also slows your opponents progress. Which helps the game plan even more. Maybe the sweet spot is in between?

Thanks 👍

90! I need to see this! what commanders you got so far?

@@Spencer4686 hes still typing

You can let each trigger pass through priority if you want, provided your doing it on your turn because you will keep going back to your main phase where you hold priority again to start the next action. If your doing it in response or on someone else's turn you have to be careful as if it get backs to their main phase they hold priority until they do something so you have to wait for a game action to occur before you can trigger anything again. hope that helps.

Gray, merchant of asphodel (Gary). Is a card from the Theros setting. It's a great reanimation target to help you stabilise, or accelerate ahead in a game and is a fantastic choice in a Mikeaus, Yawgmoth combo loop.

I might have one on the next video which is scheduled for Friday! Keep your eyes peeled! 👌👀

Great stuff 👌👍

Swiftfoot Lightning greaves Lavaspur boots Anger Concordant crossroads Mass hysteria Crashing drawbridge It really depends on your deck, do you want everything to have haste, just haste on the turn you want to alpha strike or just for specific creatures like your commander...

Always good to have a key for the lock that might be placed on you. 👌👍

Good idea 👍🏻

We have mass hysteria in red as well. 👌

SPENCER THIS GUY HATES YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kumena... Not an option?

@@Spencer4686 I hadn't looked at that one before, but I'm afraid it won't. It doesn't untap anything, or pay off the other permanents tapping to do their own thing. It gives the merfolk/changelings something different to tap for. If it said "Whenever the first merfolk you control becomes tapped each turn..." I could make it work. But as it's worded I'd need to change the deck into a completely different deck. Thanks for the thought, though. That's why I made the comment in the first place.

@@JervisGermane yeah kumena is a pay off for tapping merfolk so benefits greatly from seedborn muse, murkfiend Liege, quest for renewal and merrow commerce. as they give you multiple untaps each turn. You could add white and go 'Dervei' she taps and untaps target permanents... ❓

@@Spencer4686 Again, that's a completely different deck. I appreciate your tips, but I'm looking for a commander that fits what my deck already does, not looking to modify the deck to fit a commander. It has a lot of elves, merfolk, and humans with tap abilities. It needs a commander that either untaps them, or has something triggered by them tapping to do their thing, not taps them to do something else. I'm pretty sure nothing's been printed for that yet. Unless I wanted to change colors, as you said for Derevi.

Very nice suggestions, thank you for sharing 👌💪

Honoured Heirloom is a good suggestion ramp and target card removal 👌 great share thank you

Yes, You can interact once the trigger is on the stack. But they still get the value as it's already on the stack. If it's a fetch land it goes like this... Play land Trigger on stack (value guaranteed) You target 'payoff card's with removal They crack fetch in response 2nd Trigger on stack (value guaranteed) We then resolve stack... Basically If they play a 'landfall pay off' and it resolves and then they play a land directly after priority doesn't shift between players before that trigger goes on the stack unless they move phases.

@@Spencer4686 Try this sequencing instead: They cast the landfall card (if it is already in play, then target it before the main phase instead and they get nothing) After the landfall card resolves they get priority. They play a fetch. The fetch causes 1 land fall trigger. They get priority but they pass priority. You get priority but you pass priority. They resolve the 1st landfall trigger and then crack their fetch They pass priority You get priority You blow up Tatyova in response to the fetch's activated ability. Result: They paid 5 mana to draw 1 card. That is a bad deal for them. That is a huge profit on dealing with landfall. Now you know one of your ways to interact. Ah but what if they don't crack their fetch? They can play another land right? Except they either don't have another land drop OR one of their permanents was vulnerable to removal before the first land was played. Kill the Azusa while Tatyova is on the stack and then kill Tatyova while the fetch's activated ability is on the stack. Ah but what if it is Aesi instead of Tatyova. In that case kill Aesi in response to their Fetchland triggering Aesi but before they crack it. In that case they paid 6 mana to draw 2 cards. 5 mana draw 1 (and eat 1 removal) is a terrible rate 6 mana draw 2 (and eat 1 removal) is a terrible rate You can interact.

Now Avenger of Zendikar + land is a 7 mana create an army of 1|2s. However Howl of the Nightpack is a 7 mana create an army of 2|2s. This is the only landfall payoff card that creates a big enough threat from a single trigger. However it is on rate with what sorceries do for the same mana. So counter it or play your wrath next turn. Simple interaction.

Also we should remember 3 colors (Blue, White, Red) can counterspell the Landfall card. That is yet more interaction you have as an option. They cast Aesi. They pass priority, you get priority. Tibalt Trickery Aesi. Landfall deck is sad. Black should get something like "Discard half your hand and sacrifice half your creatures, counter target spell". Black has trouble interacting with Fireballs to the head.
