Hello my Black Knights! If you're looking for Commander Deck Techs/Upgrade Guides and maybe even some gameplay footage from the games I play with my friends you've come to the right place! I'm primarily a combo player at heart and will squeeze in combos whenever I can to get me and you to value town!
@@MechanizedMinionMTG Definitely a steep cost. But imagine a combo where you cast Sol Ring first, then while it’s on the stack cast Crib Swap. Then trigger Ulalek. For 6 mana you get two sol rings, and two exiled creatures.
You missed what is probably by far the grossest card for this deck: Greater Good. It’s almost always going to be draw 5-6+, discard 3, several of which you can put into the battlefield. I actually dodged a board wipe with this last week. My opponent cast Farewell, and I sacked and drew something like 40 cards, and burned him out with Pyrogoyf. You know what gets Farewell off the stack? It’s controller being dead.
@@MechanizedMinionMTG other than that, good video. I made a lot of the same changes. Then I went way overboard, but I started with a lot of the same cuts and additions you did.
With this being the last upgrade guide for MH3 and there being a short break before new precons are released are there any custom commander builds you'd like to see?
Trumpeting Carnosaur ETB discover 5 so everytime you make a copy you get a free cast. So the turn you cast it you make a copy that's two free casts. IF you somehow have double triggers from Satya then that's 3 free casts.
We have the guide for Eldrazi Incursion next week followed by some custom decks lead by the Legendary Assassins from the Universes Beyond set. Are there any that you'd like to see a custom build around? If so let me know who they are and a general budget for the deck and you might earn yourself a shoutout in a future video.
Interesting list. There's a couple of combos that just go off with just Stella. Cerulean whisps let's you draw your whole deck targeting Stella (there's twitch and one more that do the same untap and draw effect) And Twisted Fealty simply let's you win the game by itself with Stella instantly. Cerulean whisps is a bit pricy at 5€ but the rest are fairly cheap. From playtesting the deck needs more cantrips and has a bit too many creatures. There's also Harmonic Prodigy a two drop that adds another trigger to shamans and wizards (guttersnipe) and comes with prowess. If the whole combo infinite stuff is too competitive for you (it was a bit much for my group) focusing more on triggers and tokens is way more fun and gets out of hand by itself. Eris is the mvp in that sense.
The more i play the deck, the more sense cathedral acolyte makes, but its just so iffy. Tapping for 1 counter, ward 1, its just not enough. I find it interesting youre cutting corpsejack! It makes sense to get rid of a 4 drop, but i dunno if i agree with doing jack like that! I think lilly bowen would be an easy stay if it had trample. Its just not enough without it.
after playing the deck a lot more corpse jack seems like it could have stayed but is also a bit of a "win more" card. Certainly nothing wrong with that as it speeds the game up, not sure what I'd cut to have kept them in though.
I feel like this is a great deck for Exsanguinate. It’s a way to kill everybody when you go infinite, and it can also be a win condition once you’ve got enough land on the board to tap everything, pay 10 life to untap with Beledros, then tap again. Ton of damage, ton of life gain. Dina Soulsteeper and Marauding Blightpriest also turn the life gain from each sacrificed pest directly into damage to all opponents.
Hey again , thx again for this totally underrated video. I played the low budget upgrade version now and mind blowing. Aurelia and mardu are really strong in here but we always have the discussion if the Effekt of Caesar triggers 2 times with ishin two heavens. 😂 next step for me is to get myrel under 20€ cause I think the is absolutely dominating in this deck if I can make her undestroyable. This gives so much tokens. Great video
Dude to each there own but I wouldn’t remove esix it’s such a win con towards endgame imagine you have koma on the field and every time you make a token you make a copy of koma lol
I love my Sefris deck and I'm glad to see a tech for it. There were a few cards on here that I had completely forgotten about. This deck is a lot better than I thought it would be when I built it...
@@terrorfussel1836 is that for everything or just the 10 cards added? The Honorable Mentions at the end are nice to have but to expensive to suggest everyone going out to pick them up.
@@MechanizedMinionMTG it’s for all 23 samples you show. The legendary creatures and the mythics are really „expensive“ here in Germany. 3 cards about 80€ +. I picked 13 out of the list for about 20€ and give them a try. My card pool isn’t that big cause I have already started magic and only have 2 precon commander sets and starterkit + OTJ and MKN bundles. But for the moment that is ok. In my playgroup they play almost self constructed commander decks an in the first evening they have blown the shit out of my face 😅. So I decided to first pimp my hail, Caesar deck. Sorry for the bad English, iam from Germany
hey I really enjoy your videos, please keep it up! I've recently upgraded this deck and its one of my all time faves! Btw. I think it's really helpful if you just add ads/cuts list in the description for quick reference, for example if somebody wants to copy your upgrade path. It makes it a lot easier! cuts: Cathedral acolyte Contaminated drink corpsejack menace fraying sanity lily bowen, raging grandma lumbering megasloth piper wright, publick reporter recon craft theta strength bobblehead tireless tracker ads: simic ascendancy bloodchief ascension mindcrank ripples of potential thrummingbird syr konrad, the grim herald of secret streams flux channeler evolution sage danny pink
Mindcrank + Bloodchief Ascension isn't necessarily an instant win, it is going to knockout each opponent when they first mill and it has enough counters on it though.
gave it some thought and you could run Mirror Box and Mechanized Production on the Aether Heart to take infinite extra turns but that's asking for a lot of setup but the payoff is huge.
We went back to the old background which I think looks a little better and we're going to switch up future uploads to Fridays! I have another upgrade guide ready for Murders at Karlov Manor and a custom deck tech in the wings for Voja for you all to look forward to.
kind of hard to say at this point, it really depends on the direction you want to lean with this. I played a game with it last night where I was drawing an extra 10 cards per round easily. With that in mind I want to lean even further into being rewarded for drawing cards and might cut Killer Service for either Laboratory Maniac or a Thassa's Oracle as another alternate win con.
I've bought every precon that's come out in the last 3 years and while I don't play all of them all the time I do play quite a few heavily modified versions of them. This one is pretty strong out of the box with a decent number of clone spells and the ability to reanimate your key creatures.
Both are really good but also not budget friendly and don't specifically synergize with the deck. That being said if you have them they're a great addition.
