Ezuri, Claw of Progress | Commander Tune-Ups #52 

My first precon ever been upgrading it ever since

Cheers guys for an Ezuri tune up. A deck I have actually built. I may not play A+B combos like Sage of Hours but it important people are aware of them. A few inclusions that have excelled for me are: Fable of Wolf and Owl + Inexorable Tide make experience very fast Pir and Toothy, They provide great synergy and tutor each other. Viridian Corrupter and Steelbane Hydra for additional removal. Lazotep Plating and Inspiring Call can be incredible versatile protection Im testing Runic Armasaur and Ghostly Pilferer for more card draw and a body.

I have an infect version of this built, which I call "The Bad Touch". The more people the less effective, but I've taken down a couple 4 person pods before. It's so much fun.

i love the tune-ups! i wish you'd do mor of them again. they are a great incentive to become a patreon IMO

I actually just ordered some stuff to start working on this deck and testing builds, great timing! A couple of cards in here like Spark Double I hadn't thought of that I'll have to test out. Appreciate the content as always!

Hadana's Climb is the all-star in my Ezuri deck. Arachnogenesis, Mycoloth, Iridescent Hornbeetle, Genesis Chamber, Oketra's Monument for lots of creature tokens to pump up the exp counter count. Cold-Eyed Selkie, Fathom Mage (and any "draw cards equal to creature's power" spells) for card draw. Herald of Secret Streams for unblockable, Gnarlid Colony for trample. Those cards have likely won me more games than any others. Edit: For Crystalline Crawler, you ironically only wanna cast it with 1 color, so you can gain an exp counter. Because all your next few Ezuri 'add counter' triggers are likely going on it anyway, so simply casting for green and blue will ultimately reduce the total counters that will be put on it by 1 each time (as it'll enter as a 3/3 if cast with both colors, netting 1 less +1/+1 counter from Ezuri even if it enters originally with an extra one).

Highly recommend Iridescent Hornbeetle for the deck, super budget too

I pulled this deck out of one of those walmart cubes recently and have really enjoyed building it up and trying things out. This tune up has me spinning gears over it again. Pile on experience sac for tokens slop a dumpster full of counters - probably in one turn - and have a beverage. And that's without scute swarm. R.I.P. command beacon. The holdings company definitely didn't have inside tips a reprint was coming.

Perfect as always gentlemen

Thank you guys. Pure entertainment as always.👍👍👍

my favorite commander! I like the idea of the deck "make small dudes into giant beasts" also this deck is fast, turn 4 win.

It was interesting to see the strionic resonator in this Deck Tech. A video idea that would be helpful for me is one that explains when and why to put cards such as Lithoform engine or the rings of brighthearth in a deck

Nice Sage of Hours is in the deck, such a easy way to get MOAR turns. LOL My buddy and I each bought a pre-con EDH deck when we re-started our collections; he bought Meren and I, Ezuri claw of progress and proceeded to play horrible one sided games since Meren is fundamentally the broken one when it comes to exp counters...haven't really bothered to play my Ezuri since :( I made a Meren deck instead :)

Sweet video! I have an Ezuti deck (he’s really fun). It’s been through a few iterations but I finally stuck with an elf tribal build since a lot of the great elves trigger ezuti.

I played my Ezuri deck today and when I managed to draw my sage of hours off a 6 card fathom trigger I knew I might pull it off. After they let it hit the board I just looked around and asked if anyone had any removal. It was a normal comander infinite win after that, lol, I explained the two card interaction (I had 12 experience on ezuri) and everyone laughed and scooped. You did miss one of my favorite synergy artifacts for the deck: Orochi Hatchery. Very similar to the Hangarback, but reusable. I'll usually use the hangarback for 4 and the hatchery for 6 (or as much as I can manage, I got 10 today. 5 mana tap to put 5 snakes into play is so good.)

This video single handedly made me want to rebuild my ezuri deck, with new support cards available I feel like he'll be able to keep up with current generals in the format- which he couldn't do before

The real question is how many experience counters do you need in order to get a level counter? And what happens when you level up?

What about some sneaky proliferate shenanigans? I once stacked out an opponent by casting paradise druid 3-5 times in two turns with Wirewood Symbiote and light graveyard recursion. One swing with a 5/5 Blighted Agent festered quickly. The experience counters where a nice profit too!

Average cmc seems to high? Is there a more competitive version?

Have an Ezuri Primal Surge deck called "Bionicle Oracle" where I flip my deck into Thassa's Oracle. It happened out of nowhere, now it is a powerhouse.

Btw, if you're looking for a good beater to include, the original Kenfet carries counters super nicely

for those who don't know but ornithopter goes well in this deck

Joe Cherries: “The Great Henge is at like $25 and going up” Beezy: “I don’t think it’s going to stop” Me, one year later: *screaming at the price of that damn card now*

Thanks for the great content, as always! #fulltimein2021

Where's the whole deck link to.

Hey guys, Do you think you could do a deck breakdown of Beezy's Karador deck. I've got one and some good cards for it(Saffi, revellark, Sun titan, etc..) I'd love some ideas for building.

"Great henge is $25" that hurt to hear

Spawnwrithe is one of my favorite cards to play in Ezuri

Unless they use a Krosan Grip on the hostage holding Ballista/Triskelion! Boom! Definitely worth the additional 2 mana!

No Oran-Rief? Seems like a slam dunk.

Funniest way I’ve beaten Bolas’ Citadel: Ruric Thar.

I own an Ezuri Infect deck. It's frightening. P.S. Meren is Exp Counter queen.

With rishkar you don't have to order the triggers correctly ezuri checks when a creature enters to put the ability on the stack so only static buffs will make it not trigger

Is there a link to a deck list?

Mke loads of 1/1 tokens and get loads of experience counters. EZ

My secret tech for ezuri? Spawnwrithe and fable of wolf and owl.

No link to the finished list?

Was toothy and pir already in the deck because they are literally perfect utility.

I prefer to use some eldrazi scion token creators to make more exp counters and ramp at the same time

im trying to get my buddy into commander and he just randomly has this precon somewhere in his room collecting dust. ima show him this vid

I like this channel more and more. Particularly the passive aggressive comments, but also the hot takes. Most importantly though: let's go Buffalo.

2nd Though! Have you already done an adeliz deck?

Hornets nest

Blight Mamba.

I’ve been thinking that it would be dope if you do a game play video !!! Thoughts ?

Beezy can have Trump hair? That would be so funny.

my tech is fertilid

Im trying to tune my deck into a cedh kalamax deck focusing on kiki combo and a few fallbacks I wanted to see if you can help optimize it abit more. tappedout.net/mtg-decks/01-01-21-kalamaximum/ id like to keep it under 3k or even drop its price abit to make it work and let me switch some unneeded cards out. PS this deck has had heavy inspiration from a multitude of decks iv researched and has been slowly evolving overtime.

All this ballista talk is why I still play krosan grip in every green deck.

Speaking of poop counters, I'm still waiting on a Zur 5 color choosable as commander planeswalker that puts poop counters on things, because why the hell else was he flying around in robes if not to poop on stuff, so his ultimate form is to poop on things. Because pooping on things is what Zur does.

If anyone is a fan of AOT, does Ezuri look like Eren’s Titan or am I crazy?

First!?

Waggghhh, you guys are so rubbish. You didn't include ******* my biggest pet card.
