Feather the Redeemed Commander Deck Tech 

One thing that was missed by many people is Feather's interaction with replacement effects - specifically in the case of Flashback/Aftermath and Rebound etc. When you cast a card for its flashback cost, it would normaly go into your exile instead of the graveyard upon resolution. Feather gives the card another instance of "put it into exile instead of the graveyard", allowing you to pick which of these replacement effects to resolve (hers)- effectively buying back any cards with flashback and similar mechanics.

Guys, I've said it before in other comment sections on Feather, I'll say it again: If you play Feather, play Veilstone Amulet. She loves and NEEDS that card. EDIT: Also, Charmbreaker Devils. Expedite + Rile + Guided Strike = 17/3 hasty, first striking trampler. Draw three cards. Smash face. Repeat next turn.

Thanks for posting! I am so excited to finish building this deck and your video, like always, gave me some cool card ideas!

In line with the thought process you were on with Chaos Warp and Path to Exile, I run Torchling in my deck for it's ability R: Change the target of target spell that targets only Changeling. You can use this to target Torchling with your Path or Chaos Warp or other removal spells, get the Feather trigger, then redirect the removal at the thing you actually want gone. Last time i did this i cast Path to Exile 6 times before someone finally got tired of my nonsense. :)

I love how you included heroic as a possible inclusion. I was thinking of going that route to try and make something outside the box. you are always a step ahead well done DJ.

My Gisela deck is getting a overhaul. Finally. Can not wait to pull this card this weekend. I’ll be doing 6 pre release games and already bought and paid for a buy a box promo. Your deck techs are incredible. We seem to share play styles and have very similar strategies and game play styles. Very much enjoy your channel. Huge fan. Thanks for a lot of ideas I over looked!

I LOVE your honesty about the card, you are able to pull back and give it an ubiased view. I also just love your build style, you have some great deck techs, and I LOVED your idea for a General Taziri Enchantment build. Now I'm curious to see what you do with the new Niv Mizzet

I've been waiting for this :D THANKS!

Thermo-Alchemist + Paradise Mantle = All your one cost instants are virtually free.

0:16 lmao sunforger and magnetic theft's art fits so well. Feather is MTG's Thor I'm calling it right now

Great video as always ❤️❤️❤️

Im definitely going to play her with a lot of spellslinger synergy like guttersnipe and bone scepter.

I think im going to go with a go wide heroic approach with things that get value, and im glad you mentioned precursor golem because i completely forgot about it.

i try really hard not to post this on every video. but i didnt do it on the last one, so... we love you! your deck techs and your enthusiasm are the best :)

Stand Firm might be a good addition to the card draw package, allowing us to repeatedly scry: 2 for one white mana. Reckless Rage should be really good, since it's so mana efficient and comes back to our hand. --- My own feather draft so far includes twelve pieces of protection, basically I always want one in the opening hand. Otherwise someone is going to kill Feather in response to the first can trip I play. Making it fizzle and not come back, as it never resolves? Getting us stranded like that early on is probably the best way to keep us in check. Protection from [color] would be my favorite mode of protection, as it doesn't fizzle our can trips. Something like Cloudshift would protect Feather, but the cantrip would fizzle. Indestructible is also nice, as it stops some board wipes which protection does not. Apostle's Blessing, Blessed Breath, Cloudshift, Eerie Interlude, Emerge Unscathed, Ephemeral Shields, Faith's Shield, God's Willing, Leave // Chance, Shelter, Sheltering Light, Stave Off. Gameplan / Curve: [Turn 0] Keep a hand with 1 protection spell, 3-4 mana, preferably 1 cantrip [Turn 1] Wait / play tapland [Turn 2] Ramp to WWWR (neither Feather nor one-mana spells can use colorless) [Turn 3] Cast Feather, leaving one mana up to protect her [Turn 4] Start drawing cards, removing threats with instants like Reckless Rage [Turn ?] Use spellslinger payoff cards to win With the protection package and 1 mana can trips, the deck ends up needing mostly white mana. So I replaced most of my mountains with 2 or 5 color lands, allowing me to quickly have the full WWWWW needed to cantrip four times in a row and hold up protection.

Amulet of vigor is also fantastic, as if you flicker a solemn every turn, or path your own tokens, amulet turns a pretty good interaction into something broke

Another deck type you didn’t mention. White got some cards with prowess and prowess-adjacent abilities in the Tarkir block. So it’s possibly better than heroic as you target one creature, and then another gets the benefit too. I think it would be fun to do a combination of heroic and prowess for her deck.

The Boros Legion approves this video ✊🏾☀️

don't forget, feather makes etb value boros a thing. a lot of flicker/blink effects (which additionally protect feather) and value creatures, feli guardian and friends and whooops is that kiki-jiki?

Yeah... definitely sliding my paradox engine and unwinding clock out of my Tawnos deck into my feather deck with every boros rock I have. Plus a home for my 2nd smothering tithe and sunforger... and thanks for reminding me about mirrorwing dragon... he is sitting in my edh box but I would have missed it probably.

i love Feather and im super excited for this deck, but something that some people ive talked to missed on her card; the cantrip returns at your endstep. still really good, but you cant path to exile (for ex) 6ish times in one turn and ramp to a million. just something to keep in mind

I don't think I've ever been this excited for a commander! We finally are getting a good Boros commander! It's three mana, It's unique, it opens up to a new strategy, It does something different for Boros, it has card advantage, and can be protected well! I just built a Iroas deck too! Well I guess I'm building this one and taking Iroas apart.

A fun interaction worth noting is zada plus righteous glory. It only targets zada then anthems the team, repeat for every creature. Adds up super quick

Mizzium tank from war of the sparks is a great include in the deck Powerss like effect where you cast a noncreature spell it gets plus one plus one and becomes a artifact creature so you don't have to crew it anymore and if casting 4 or 5 he's getting + 5 + 5 and has trample

the new kranko is feathers best friend if you want go wide go for the creature that makes 1/1s equal to its power

It's maybe worth mentioning that, if you have a lot of mana to spare (say, table wheeling after a Smothering Tithe) that Akroan Conscriptor, a cantrip, and Path lets you threaten a creature, then turn it into a land. Alternatively, Cloudshift lets you steal that creature permanently.

My jaw dropped. I can actually play this Boros deck. This is great.

You should start making commander gameplays :)

Some other great cards for Feather: Seize the Day (for extra combats, and it targets so it recurs), Rally the Righteous (Feather works well with Radiance, and this works well with Seize to untap your other creatures), Bathe in Light (Radiance again), Heaven's Gate and Dwarven Song (super old cards that turn any number of target creatures mono-White for one W or mono-Red for one R respectively, works great with Bathe in Light or any other "protection from color of your choice" cards to make things essentially unblockable), Primal Amulet (can flip super fast thanks to you already casting 1-2 mana cantrips on everyone's turn), Electrodominance (cast on your own tokens to give pretty much anything in your hand flash), Fall of the Hammer / Soul's Fire / Tail Slash (for instant-speed one-sided fight-like removal), Valor Made Real (along with indes combat tricks to let you block any number of creatures) And most spicy tech of all: *Fiery Gambit* (no matter how many flips you do, it still always targets a creature, so it always comes back to your hand)

Heroic most definitely seems like a very powerful direction to take I like it

Scroll of the masters is just so amazing in a Feather deck

Add isochron scepter imprinting boros charm makes you stuff unpopable and other cards imprinted on isochron scepter to fun stuff. Runechanter pike. All instant/sorceries hitting grave powers up your creature (when you have no max hand size or etc.)

Kari Zev’s Expertise + Zada (or Mirrorwing Dragon)

I'd use dreadhorde arcanist for when you run out of room in your hand or lose feather and your spells go to the grave. That way you can still get value out of them 1 more time.

As boros has been my favorite guild since original Ravnica I see this as more than a Feather-deck! It is finally an option to play some of mye favorite "Bad-cards" without sitting every turn topdecking and heaving no options. Here I actually ditch the Guttersnipe, Thermo Alchemists and the like for cards like "Razia, Boros Archangel" and "Agrus Kos". My deck is fun, and I love beeing able to run some of these cards, while still sticking to must haves like Kor carthographer, sword of the animist, anax and cymede and the like. :) I build from what I have, and as mye favorite card since 2004 happens to be Sunforger(I own a lot of them) this deck is perfect. Is it just me or is this one of the decks(together with Animar) that Sol Ring is not a really good card. Coloured mana is so important if the commander has all colours in the casting cost I think. Cheers!

I also can’t wait to be the guy at my lgs who path to exiles tokens for ramp. Oh man this guna be an epic deck

Path to exile on tokens ramp lmao

I'd add Orim's Thunder for some pin point removal, and long as you redirect damage to a token you control, you get to return that card to your hand later.

Any thoughts on an updated list seeing as lots of neat things have come out for this recently.

You forgot that Balefire Liege's ability can target Planeswalkers as well, making it even better.

Zada and Mirrorwing are the reason I want to build this deck but I feel like Precursor Golem is too specialized to include. Thank you for directing me to Prowess triggers though. I've never had a deck that used them so they basically don't exist to me.

Why no mention of red removal, like dmg divide on any targets?

I am adding "Survive the Night" for investigate and cheap

Funniest part about this deck, it will more than likely be a BUDGET deck naturally

I'm going to build this deck since I already have a zada deck so it will be easier to make

I'd love to see a Ilharg Deck!

New playersl here. How would you upgrade it now with warspark out, Modern Horizons out and M20 coming up.

i would add the artifact ramp package + paradox... just to make the things a bit more nasty.

I went with the heroic creatures + some spells that target your creatures but don't kill them. not sure what your average CMC is, but mine is just above 2.0 so its really low, which is my land count is really low. I need to test it to see if I need to put more lands in. I only have 31. the reason I don't have mirror wing dragon in the deck is that it can pump up our opponent's creatures too. if they have a huge army can cast titantc growth on the dragon, it gets +4/+4, but so does every creature in their army. Zada only affects your creatures, so I have that one in my deck.

how do you feel about Launch the Fleet with Feather? Strength of arms might be fun for those equipment based feather decks. Primal Amulet can save mana on instants, doesn't have to be transformed, and if someone tries to destroy it you can just transform it to a land right then. i love your path to exile on your own tokens strat.

I was hyped initially with Feather, but then I started noticing similar things to what you mentioned at the start. I see Feather having a similar problem to Depala. She is card advantage in Boros, but the deck doesn't really seem to have much of an end game. (Although the advent of Parhelion 2 has changed my tune on that some). I'll wait and see just how good Feather is. If she is, then I might replace Firesong and Sunspeaker with her. I need to be convinced.

What about snowlands and scrying sheets?

Won my first feather game last night. She’s nutty

I thought you said on yesterday’s stream you WEREN’T doing feather? How can I keep trusting you?

I think Sun Forger is a $10 card easy.

Always keep at least 2 protection spells castable when you pass turn, preferably 1 indestructible and 1 protection from the color of your choice. I need to focus my Feather deck. I'm split between all 3 styles Also I have several heroic creatures that only benefit themselves which is kind of a waste. I think I'm going to commit more to the Voltron angle, but keep enough go wide stuff to help protect my life total, but I gotta cut Goblin Slide. Goblin Slide looks nice, but having to pay mana for each for gobbo is more taxing than it sounds, it often prevents another spell or 2 from being cast.

If we're going to be running Ajani's Influence in this deck then we may as well run Sarkhan's Dragonfire since it practically does the same thing for one extra mana, except it deals 3 damage to Feather instead of adding +1/+1 counters which isn't a problem thanks to her 4 toughness.

So what do you think of the whole path young pyromancer interaction Josh pointed out, jus a pipe dream or actually real?

Bath In Light seems like an obvious inclusion in this sort of deck and I don't see it in the list or when you go over protection spells, but I know you've considered how crazy radiance mechanics spells are with Feather as board wide effects you can use over and over. I'd compare it directly to Shelter in terms of if it's playable: it doesn't cantrip, sure, but it will protect most or all of your board from the color of your choice each cast instead of just Feather, which I have to believe it going to be extremely clutch in many situations. Given you have enough cantrips generally so as to have 1 or 2 in your hand most games by turn 3-4, it seems prudent to have some reusable spells that are more about a really strong reusable effect instead of just more card draw. After all, after a certain point you will want to have better things to do than just cast cheap cantrips to draw more cards because you will have a full grip of cards you want to cast for their effects rather than just to draw cards with spare mana.

MH1 Aria of Flame is also pretty good!

This Commander made me so much money from my folder full of sunforgers

mana rocks+ unwinding clock?

Downhill Charge could be a good way to make Feather deadly. I also like Scar of the Veteran to help protect your creatures

Where is the primal amulet?

does Slaughter the strong works with feather? if it's the case it would be great

i nust made a feather deck today and put in a red 2cmc instant that gives +7/+7 :)

Man, I just wish Feather was an Uncommon, I’d love to play him as my general in pauper edh given most of the cards in his strategy would be commons.

is death ward worth considering?

Would you ever put Terrain Generator in this deck or do you think it's too slow?

Nice belch.

Thankfully I managed to nab a Sunforger before the spike in price for 81 cents. I was pretty happy to get that before the price jumped. There is no way the price will hold. There were assholes around where I live trying to "invest" in Sunforgers and bought all of them in the local shops. I hope they all lose money on that.

Jumbo, give us a kefnet deck teck!!

What shenanigans can be done with a recurring radiate??!?!

Also for yesterday I did investigating and I like rishkar best for +1+1 counter combos

I want this to be good. Definitely less explosive than Zada, but might be more consistent and draw less hate

Kind of want to make a deck that utilizes Pyromancer’s goggles with Feather.

I believe that the best version of this deck is Storm based, with ignite Memories.

0:46 Nope the card will not go straight back to your hand but in the end step. Meaning you can't buff your creatures x amount of time before the damage is dealt but only once. It is a weaker form of for buyback.

Balduvian rage and psychotic fury used to be literally pennies, now they're $5 and $3 respectively. Good grief... Also, strongarm monk is pretty huge in this deck if you're going wide.

Stuff doll with burn spells :D

You should start making commander gameplays :) (2)

Seismic Shift from Dominaria, repeatable land destruction. B)

Fiery Gambit. Just for the fun of it.

I'd buy it just because it was drawn by wayne reynolds

Balduvian rage you just cast for R and 0 for X and target opponents attack creatures and you still get the card draw.

I recently build a Feather Deck, I'm still building it tbh. And i tell you Rally the Righteous (10:10) is just bad. Very expensive for just a little attack bonus unless you go wide. That being said, it's fine in a going wide strategy, but in a voltron build like mine it's just the worst //Sunforger 9 Dollar wtf? In Europe you get it for a few cents

Smothering tithe and Teferi's Puzzle Box in this deck XD

Can you storm off with feather?

I have a Sunforger. :3

Here come the price spikes

Well that's great... Now i want to build multiple Feather decks. At least most these cards are cheap anyway so my kidney is safe for now.

Excellent video as always, but when i was searching in the heroic's rules, i find this : "Heroic abilities won't trigger when a copy of a spell is created on the stack or when a spell's targets are changed to include a creature with a heroic ability." Because heroic need the spell to be cast on the creature, and the spell copied by zada or the mirrorwing dragon isn't cast, maybe taking too many heroic isn't that great, no ? I was asking myself because i want to build a feather deck and i am not convince by the heroic cards.

i have like most of my first non precon edh deck now. only a few war specific pieces and the commander are missing. will definetely change it up a bit, based on the video

Stuffy Doll, that is all. :)

Love the video, but pretty much is saying I don’t think it is that good of a deck and I wouldn’t build it butttt here is a video for the people who want to build it 😂😂😂

Hey Jumbo, I know Commander is your thing, but you should really try Oathbreaker! It's pretty similar to Commander but it gives a different sort of feeling. I really enjoy it as a change of pace!

How is the archer worse than the alchemist? She can attack and also triggers on artifacts and enchantments.

this is a little weird but do you know how much this deck costs in 2023?

Edit Read Mirrorwing wrong. Thought it said creatures you control not creatures they control my fault.

But where is paradox Engine? It is paradox Engine good in this deck
