Build A Budget Commander Deck (with Commander's Quarters) Untitled Magic The Gathering Podcast #8 

well yeah, hard to get a $50 deck together with your $25 auto-include

Well as of now wayfarer's bauble costs more than sol ring

Calling in from 2022 - Wayfarer's Bauble is $.25

Yooo

Yes... Of course...

Too true!

Jokes on you I have 3 copies of it

Sw00pster 😂 😂 😂

I have never been more hyped for anything ever than Gavi

@@jacfac9969 The lack of black in her identity dampens my excitement.

Florian W I too am slightly annoyed that they moved the cycling payoffs from esper to jeskai

@@Lucarioguild7 I blame Ikoria's strict wedge-focus.

daxos can be good. DAXOS CAN BE GOOD. WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CANT PLAY DAXOS IN AMINATOU BLINK?

Same.

I won’t take out ambush party from every red deck I play!

Charging Badger will never, NEVER, leave my Xenagos deck

Does Etali, Primal Storm count as a pet card? I love that thing. First legendary I ever opened from a pack.

They just told the Avengers to hold my Wayfarer's Bauble and watch this...

That's a good point. I have Cyclonic Rift in my Jeleva Storm deck and I'm probably going to take it out now. If I exile it and am able to cast it for free well so what? It's not like I can overload it anyways.

@@Mattador666 Now that's a deck I've been wanting to build for a long time!

@@thefrozengoat It's a fun deck that can get VERY out of control if not kept in check. I can post a link to the deck if you are interested. I think I have to make it.

LOL Tell that to the Sultai players with Villainous Wealth, I laughed even more when I noticed WOTC reprinted it in the Sultai deck reassuring me of my theory ;P

Cyclonic Rift is a good card in Golos though^^. The thing you have to consider is that when you choose synergistic cards over individually powerful cards, you're making the tradeoff of being more dependent on these synergies (e.g. needing your commander). This can lead to some depressing situations, where your commander or other key engines of your deck are being disrupted or locked out by stax effects and you can't do anything. For instance, if his Golos deck relies too heavily on Golos' second ability, he might have trouble against something like Linvala or Cursed Totem (or spot removal on Golos). Ideally, you want cards that are synergistic, but also individually powerful enough to be strong without relying on your commander. Take a Kenrith deck with Seedborn Muse for example - the synergy is so strong it wins games, but even a standalone Seedborn Muse is still a good card. The enchantment card Awakening offers the same crazy synergy, but is not powerful enough to be played individually because without an outlet the effect is symmetrical with no particular benefit for you. It's easy to get trapped by such cards and then suddenly a third of your deck becomes useless when an opponent plays a Darksteel Mutation on your Commander. I've seen a lot of new players falling into this trap and when their decks are annihilated by a card like Imprisoned in the Moon or Praetor's Grasp or they get wiped out by Wrath of God or their commander gets countered over and over again, they complain about how unfun or broken those cards are. Nah mate, you were just building your decks wrong.

Mehtab Rai Thanks! Already digging my cards from under my bed :)

@@irwanfaizal9558 same lol

@@irwanfaizal9558 sweet! What are your favorite colors? Me and the rest of the collective mtg community can give tips! To begin: RAMP, always good to have it when ever possible! Color fixing, some basic land search never hurts! Have some form of removal, not to much though;)

I did my first as well this year and I'm doing the second, good luck

Me too! I’m building my first commander deck too!!!

saaaame!

For real, I love their attitude towards the game

I agree, his prices are verrry susceptible to going up. Even taking out the price of basic lands and commanders almost none of his decks match the price hes going for.

Step 3: add $3000 worth of fast mana and snow-co mountain's Step 4: get stomped and look cool doing it (This is based on a true story)

@@magicalpro I just built this deck and only spent 45 bucks on 90 snow covered mountains?

opponent: has counterspell and removal step 3: do nothing the whole game (i know it's a joke, but I knew a guy who had a molimo deck with 99 forests, he never did anything in a game. Ever.)

Welp. I know my new commander. No Wayfarer's Bauble needed haha

@@xChikyx Well the whole point of green is big creatures, maybe if he had something like Rude Awakening and creatures like Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar could have helped him.

Kumenas actually looks really good for that new commander Xyris that makes snakes when your opponents draw. When you reach critical mass of snakes opp. draws turn off. Me likey

There is also a political advantage. Giving initial card boost draw to everyone makes them feel less bad when it eventually gets turned off. And unlike Rhystic Study, you don't irritate players by forcing them to make a choice of paying additional mana each time they play a spell.

I play both for some of my decks that have blue

And if all else fails, just make a proxy! Unless your group hates fun that is.

More to come!

Kaiba knows how to make the most of a dollar.

People don't realize starting budget builds is the best way to know if you really like the deck or not.

It is indeed.

Yes

@@_somerandomguyontheinternet_ you get a like because golgari

Thanks for watching!

Focused talrand can be a beast. I had a $50 list that mopped the floor with most of my friends decks 6-7 power level the occasional 8

I do what I can :)
