Belbe, Corrupted Observer deck Tech | Magic: the Gathering Commander 

Last time I was this early, Darksteel Ingot was a good mana rock

I'm surprised you weren't that excited for her. She has a really interesting story that deals with her being an elven princess and kidnapped/killed, then "remade" by Phyrexia. Long story, but I know you love all things Phyrexia, so if you get a chance check out her story. Maybe you'll like her even more.

long live new phyrexia

Villis brokee of blood

Wait.... does horizon stone saves mana between turns?

More like 6 more mana lol am I right guys

Came for Belbe, stayed for Bel-bae

One of the commanders from this set i am looking to build! I'm planning on elf tribal with her. Really cool to see your direction with it!

So...jam eldrazi titans and make my playgroup hate me? Sign me up!

It That Betrays would be perfect in this deck.

My first thought for this creature was to make a Protean Hulk combo deck hahahah

Skullclamp? Turn the early game dudes into card draw once the board develops?

Well my table won't hate this as much as they hate my Meren deck

🅱️ontu’s 🅱️onument. Love the vid man!

Whenever the piano starts to play I can't help but laugh. The keys never start playing while you're talking about Phyrexia but like 2 minutes early and it's just such a hilarious way to indicate yur about to get degenerate on the Mana Squad.

Deck list link is not working. Please help!

How do you get your eyebrows to move like that

Finally. I been waiting on this deck tech

I think the really "good" thing about this deck, is that it can be built on a pretty small budget honestly. You don't overly need shocks or fetches if you don't want them, you are in green so ramping is super simple with your Cultivates and what not. And like you said in the video, you can pick up very inexpensive, high CMC cards or hydras and just really focus on getting big dumb things out onto the field. I feel like a "mean" way to go, as my friend noted, is a Stax build. Getting these drain effects and then preventing them from untapping while you just get a drain effect out and then deploy another threat can be back breaking. Even just something like a T3 God-Pharaoh's Statue can really turn off people's decks early enough while we can still make the deck move forward. Another good thing to remember, is even if you can't cheat out a Wurmcoil or something, getting to cast a Cultivate for 1 green can help a lot, especially if you do it back to back. Play a Cultivate into a Kodama's Reach or something and now you've ramped yourself even more. Zendikar Resurgent I feel should be a mention here, as it can be a 2 mana "whenever you cast a creature, draw a card" and dounle your mana. So by T3-4, you might have upwards of 6-8 mana in your lands alone, and then Belbe mana for even more! In a meta full of shocks, fetches, Ancient Tomb like effects though, you are also ramping your opponents don't forget. While you can deploy large threats, your opponents can also just say they will take a damage or use a pain land on themselves to help ramp out a board wipe to deal with you. As well, I feel like this deck will still play a lot of ramp parts, namely in case you DONT get your draining effects or your small 1/1 for 1's cant get through effectively. The more mana you have the more you can do things. Other cards that weren't noted that I think should get a nod, are cards like Strionic Resonator and Lithoform Engine. For one, Belbe's ability is a trigger ("When", "Whenever" or "At"), meaning that you can COPY this effect and add even MORE mana now! Engine has the bonus of doubling up on creatures and other permanents so if you play a big old Eldrazi, you can now get TWO of them (provided they aren't legendary), meaning twice the power I feel like this deck is a "big mana" deck, meaning cards like Cabal Coffer's and Urborg are a must. Sure, we use Belbe to deploy large threats but then finishers like Exsanguinate and Torment of Hailfire now get even more lethal. Or cards like Genesis Wave can now go to town and cheat out more things. I wouldn't run into TOO many X spells, cause paying 6 into an X and then watching it get countered can really hurt.

God-Pharaoh Statue on turn two will be my favorite. Also hard casting Protean Hulk.

Belbe's Portal? That would would really knock some socks off. Good vid. Cheers, mate.

Did you know Finale of Devastation gets creatures in graveyards too? ;) #LongLivePhyrexia Edit: that hashtag leads to pauper Infect deck tech lol

This is awesome man. I pulled a Belbe in some packs so I’m definitely going to build the deck, with some of your recommendations ofc ;). You think Abomination of Llanowar would work in here? I pulled it as well and thought it would be cool to throw in but idek I’m pretty new to the game.

Keep up the great work my man!!!

A mix of Phyrexia and Eldrazi? Must be a Bolas plot!

I built this deck from left over eldrazi and big stompy artifact creatures and it went off on i had 30 colorless mana on turn 4

Pelakka Wurm and Sifter Wurm are the bees knees for this deck. I also love Sifter of Skulls for additional ramp.

My cards are on order, my deck is very similar to yours, minus the eldrazi and infect creators, really enjoyed the video, thanks :)

Good shit Derrick!

Video: *constantly referring to 15 drain effects as "overkill"* Me: *checks my current build.... 30* Guess I can make some room for big stompy bois then.

i got her in that etched look and I saw her effect and knew I wanted to build a deck
