Arjun, the Roasted Flame has a gambling problem 

The full how to lose friends in 99 cards or less for Henzie is out on my channel!

Playing Arjun is a delicate balance of being good enough to not waste everyone’s time, but not so good that you cause someone’s Nekusar villain origin story.

That fact that you somehow resisted showing Niv-Mizzet Parun for this video impresses me. Him, Arjun and Ghyrson just equal free lightning bolts every time you cast another spell.

Mald trying so hard to be an honest Izzet player but the lure of card draw combos won't let him.

I was all “yeah, cool cool” *nodding* “seems chaotic but luck based” and then in my head, slowly appearing like someone was upping the opacity: Teferi’s smug face as he whispers in my ear “get tutelage-d, bitch”

"Whenever you cast a spell, every other player gets a copy of Orcish Bowmasters in their hand."

As an Arjun player myself, 10000% accurate description of how i play. "Im just tossing cards away...." Meaning- "I havent found my win con yet"

"It reads more like an intrusive thought than an actual textbox" I mean, judging by that flavour text, being an intrusive thought incarnate is what Arjun is all about

I didn’t even know this card existed but now my play group should be scared

Another roast made of pure gold! Mald, you never disappoint.

I’m glad someone else finally found out how completely BUSTED Arjun is combined with draw triggers

I saw an A and the word Flame and i thought you were about to speak of the glorious giant dad Aegar, the freezing flame. I guess the "actually 6'1 on just on their profile" tribal will have to wait. That being said i respect Arjuns "you aint ballsy enough to bring rhystic study" effect.

I was waiting for Omniscience to show up when you were talking about salt. It would just be, "Ooo, a card." Play it, "Ooo, a card." And just that, until you are out of cards. My favorite version of this is Niv-Mizzet, Parun plus omniscience. I am become death.

I am buying this and building a deck around him IMMEDIATELY. My crackhead izzet gremlin mind is LOSING it rn

The script, as usual, is impecable

Mildly restricted access to at least triple the amount of cards a blue player normally has will always spell disaster for anyone who wants to play a creature spell, play a non creature spell, or even play the god damned mana they put into their deck.

My Arjun playtime has about a 80% rate of dying while desperately rolling the gacha for the right cards and a 20% rate of decking the table and myself in one turn, yet my friends only ever seem to remember the 20%.

"You see, every time you cast a spell Arjun declares the rest of your hand 'So very 200LATE'" Never change Maldhound, never change.

As a White player (in both Magic terms and my lack of melanin), my hunger for order, creatures and board clear protection are best tempered by Izzet, making sure I stay proactive and keep a fist full of cards to use, even if I don't as often dive into pure chaos. As a Jeskai player, I salute you. Also, day 10 of asking for Kasla, the Broken Halo.

"God hates Izzet players" PREACH IT BROTHER with this gambling addict I might actually hit my land drops. . .just uh, gotta get to 6 first

You're single-handedly tempting me back into playing MtG again, doing potentially unspeakably bad things to my wallet.

This inspired me to make an arjun deck based around drawing my whole deck as fast as possible.

At this point, I can just come to this channel when I want new Commander ideas.

I would love to see a 99 cards or less for Arjun. It seems really interesting and like you can have quite a few win conditions in it.

The double take bit was glorious. Rule of 3'd an everything.

As a fellow izzet player I must say the only bad part is losing my counterspells each time making Niv a piller for removal

"I see zero chumba lumabas, and I know what I like." The words of a king.

As a proud Arjun player since 2015 I must say, the thesis behind wanting to see your entire deck every game is 💯

I'm just imagining how you could use this in a Jodah deck. Triggers twice on each Legenadry Cascade, and since you get to pick the order, it can fairly quickly get to the point where you know the order of large chunks of your deck to better control your Cascades.

Combo with Teferi's Puzzle Box to draw a new hand of cards nonstop.

This is the video that sold me on my newest commander deck, just finished it this week! Thanks @MaldHound can’t wait for more deck ideas!

As someone who has had an Arjun deck for a very long time, it is unbelievably easy to kill yourself with a teferi’s ageless insight.

You think this guy has a gambling problem? Wait till you get to my boy Yusri, Fortune’s Flame.

this slander against scrooge mc duck cannot stand. scrooge loves his money true, but prides himself on having acquired it fairly and honestly, and he understands that a poor populace cannot afford his products. now the person who would immediately haord all of the ill gotten checks would be mr krabs.

"I play all these guys. I summon Arjun from the command zone. I play laboratory maniac. I win" -Arjun players turn 5

As somone who has played a bit of Arjun, the REAL fun begins when you have a Mindmoil in play at the same time and a deck full of instant speed cantrips

The real lesson was all the cards we drew along the way!

First day of asking for "Atla Palani, nest tender", pick me to induce salt in everyone on "40th+ day of ___"

this is also really strong with anything that gives all your spells flash (hell, even if you play a deck full of instant speed spells only) because if you have a hand with more than 1 good card, you can just flash in the second one in response to arjun's trigger and resolve his triggers one at a time, flashing in more and more stuff based on what you draw

Captain's log September 30 rounded to the nearest decimal point. Im still waiting on my roast of Izzet of the Izmagnus. But something tells me to keep asking. Some.............thing!

I'll be straight with you, Teferi's Ageless Insight is a risky proposition. Once you untap with it on board, you have a limited number of casts before you deck yourself, and my Arjun build can frequently hit that number on the turn it comes up, especially with Knowledge Pool. For example, let's say you start with 2 cards in hand and play zero draw spells. - Cast (1 card) pool trigger, Arjun double trigger (2 cards) (4 cards). - cast second spell (3 cards), pool, Arjun (6 cards), Arjun (12 cards). - Cast third spell (11 cards), pool, Arjun (22 cards) (44 cards). At this point if you cast another spell you draw more cards than are in your deck and you lose. If you have a bigger hand at the start or any of your spells are draw spells, you can easily lose on the third spell.

Eventually "I put my deck down... and then I draw my deck"

Arjun is Izzet going full sicko mode: “hahahah yes”

Step 1: Play that draw doubling card Step 2: start Drawing double your hand over and over again Step Everyone hates you: Thassa’s Oracle.

Yessss please roast mizzix of the izmagnus next she's one of the most busted Izzet commanders and I love her ✨

Now all we have to do is have arjun and river song in the same deck Rotate your hand into the same hand

This combos perfectly with River Song. You put your hand on the bottom of your library... and then get your hand right back again XD Although, if you have effects like "if you would draw any number of cards, draw that many cards plus one instead", each spell you cast instantly replaces itself with a new card in hand

This is how one loses friends when they dont even have friends. Im all here for it.

Arjun dares you to tow the line and then throws that on roulette.

My roommate has decided to retaliate to the Henzie deck with a group slug deck. He wants ‘maximum chaos’. Any suggestions?

So underrated. So fun. Makes you feel like a wild izzet manic as your brain has to violently thrash everytime you cast anything. Before I tuned the deck I could deck myself by like turn seven because sometimes your lab man win con and that little lizard that let's you NOT draw cards if you don't want is in the other 50 cards in your deck and anytime you cast anything your drawing 200 cards.

Fantastic choice! May I recommend Neera, Wild Mage for the list of Cards that need to be Burned? One of my favorite "What's going on?" Commanders. Or you can do Eldrazi. That's fine too.

The thumbnail change us great, i would love for them to be a mainstay!

Opponent, pointing at my Arjun, Jhoira, and Semblance Anvil imprinting an artifact: What're you doin? Me: Me?? Nothin'! Just hangin' around...

There's a few really fun cards that go with this. They do various things but they all have 1 feature in common: buyback.

Well, now I'm convinced that I have to build this deck. Looks fun as hell!

I'd be so happy to see you roat Eruth, Tormented Prophet as a spellslinger lover

I will continue to ask for the funny man Blim, comedic genius

This is just Teferi Puzzlebox with flying

fire wizard money gang. We love drawing cards. This message was brought to you by. The mald revoltuion.

when you put arjun into the flubs deck

I wanna add this to a gambler commander deck with lots of dice rolls and coin flips.

He's like an evil Teferi's Puzzle Box

you should do |Veyran, voice of duality|- they go in the 99 of 99% of izzet decks for a reason, and with effects like storm kiln artist and guttersnipe, you can very easily win in like 1 turn from a seemingly meager board state.

In the colours known for cantrips and rituals... I can't see a problem here.

I'm not even asking for my love again today. The placement of teferi and psychic corrosion was too priceless.

I used to play this in my Zndr Okaun wheel and deal deck, which was in fact... A thinly veiled gambling problem deck. And now suddenly. I feel a relapse urge that I must try VERY hard to push back down. Thank you.

You should definitely talk about Experiment Kraj and the shenanigans he gets up to on a daily basis

Now see, in theory, if you don't stack your deck with a bunch "I love 2 turn games" cards, this would be a fantastic game of commander. Excellent work Mald, 10/10

My man, this is Magic the Gathering. We all inherently have a gambling addiction.

Man I didn’t even know about this deck and now I want it xD

Imagine cast this card for free with Jin-gitaxias' last chapter and having the longest turn of magic's history, present, and future.

Its like a one sided teferis puzzle box

1. Play Tolarian Winds with Arjun, Mindmoil, Alhammarret's Archive and Ageless Wisdom on the board for maximum silliness

My friend likes chaos so much that he added mindmoil to this deck. He is definitely touching every card. He has drawn to death on multiple occasions.

Rielle the Everwise is another gambling Commander. After you discard one or more cards in one instance (Cathartic Reunion or Forbid as examples), you draw that many cards. She also bets +1/+0 for each instant and sorcery in your grave.

On god might make a deck for this man. Seems way too fun and self-fulfilling.

Pro tip: instead of corrosion, use sphinx's tutelage. Does the same thing, but if the two cards share a color, they repeat that mill. You are deadly to mono color decks and at worst it is corrosion with a draw and discard added to it.

I have Teferi's puzzle box and a red enchant whose name I am forgetting that does the same thing as this particular card in my superfriends edh deck. But I would love to make a deck with this one as my commander with these two cards. No need to worry about drawing the right cards when you are drawing through your deck rather rapidly. Slinging what works in the moment.

As an arjun player: Im not ashamed, I will not apologize. Gambling to see what fun my next hand will have is half the fun of commander.

Day 8 of thanking maldhound for the great mtg content, and making me want to burn money on new commander decks constantly. Also this is my new favorite video from you. The degenerate wincons showing up behind you whilst trying to justify its existence is gold

i feel so called out at wanting to touch 99 magic cards

the real hand was the spells we cast along the way

Arjun + Teferi's Ageless Insight With enough zero drops and/or recyce effects Flash in Oracle

My man... Atraxa Grand Unifier... please for the love of Bolas

i will never stop asking for toxrill the corrosive

I'd love if you roasted "Selvala, Explorer Returned"

This is why notion thief is a must!

If I ever do the partners commander game type where all legal commanders have ‘Partner’… I’m running this guy alongside Niv.

And.... another commander going onto the "To buiild" list

My favorite chaos commander. Easy access to my dumbest most shenanigans cards.

Everyone say hello to the MTG Poet Laureate

Uril the miststalker is one of the greatest Voltron Commanders. They are immune from any and all roast you got going their way.

Skittles, the blight dragon or Sydri unethical genius waiting room

this is begging for a notion thief to get flashed in

Another day of asking for Magus Lucea Kane and Imotekh the Storm Lord!

I dunno if hes the "Shifting Flame" as much as he is the "Shifting Blame". That damned guy is a walking 7 card Charlie at a Blackjack table. Definitely the kind of guy who'd have a summer home in Las Vegas, just so he can be near The Strip.

Throw a sphinx's tutelage instead of memory erosion

Roast the Ninja queen that would definitely get it, Yuriko

My favourite part of Arjun is that you will always get your land drop.
