I built her with a lot of cards from Lost caverns of Ixalan because flavour wise they just go together. Also Discovery and Explore mechanics seemed like an obvious flavour win as well.😊😊
I love that you not only built a deck with some very interesting synergy, but that you made it thematic! Thanks for the great breakdown on how this deck works. Definitely grabbing this Secret Lair
Great video Jake and Joel! I hadn't really considered making a Lara Croft deck or grabbing this drop, but now I'm excited to grab this drop and make this deck!!!
Very flavorful Laura deck. I’m not a fan of the property, but this deck tech sure makes this secret lair tempting! I just finished building a funny Myr deck after your short about Urtet reminded me he existed
Hope of Ghirapur feels like a must include for the deck. Legendary artifact that lets you maybe prevent the combo player from winning, then it sacrifices itself so you can just recast it out of the graveyard over and over.
ATTENTION WOTC You have done well this day. Supporting our favorite content creators goes a long way. Speaking of… If you want to forever ingratiate yourselves with the MTG RU-vid community make a secret lair featuring a character named “Jakey Jo” that is basically Dennis the Menace but with a southern flavor. Just imagine mama Jo yelling “JAKEY JO DID YOU LET THEM POSSUMS OUT AGAIN!?” I believe in you. Thank you.
I picked up this secret lair foil set after you two recommended it when y'all reviewed the secret lairs on offer in a recent video. Now that I have it, I think its time to build this deck. Looks to be a very fun commander deck to play.
I think this is one of the best secret lair showcase videos. I wasn’t really that excited about it until I saw this video might have to pick one up now.
This deck tech is super sweet. It's inspired, it's thematic, and it looks fun to play. Thanks for this. I'd already purchased this Secret Lair before this uploaded, but y'all got my brain juices running now.
Outstanding Deck tech. Video was packed with hand-picked cards for Awesome flavor. Cool synergy the way y'all built the deck. Really Hope WOTC continues to reach out to you guys for dech tech & more.
Great video! I'm confused by one thing with this commander though. When it says you may play a card from exile, what does that mean in regards to the mana cost?
I built her with both Sakashimas, double major, both Andurils, commander’s plate to avoid all white and black removal, almost all legendary creatures, and most importantly- Encroaching Mycosynth!!!! That card is a house in this deck!
I would warn against Lightning Greaves. Imagine a scenario where Lara is the only creature on your board and you want to throw your legendary equipment on her- well buddy- you’re out of luck. Use the boots instead. It’s worth the extra mana to avoid that possible headache!
I am running Surviel as a big part of my deck. It functions as a suedo card draw with this deck. Making her slightly voltron, but also trying to fund cards that cares about casting from exile. So far, my build generates value but doesn't have a wincon yet.
Played this deck tonight with my local group and they didn’t allow me to cast from exile a card that had a discovery counter on it from my last turn. I didn’t think that was a stipulation, just that I could only play any card with a discovery counter on my turn… regardless of when it was put in there. Help 😅
I was initially a little sad it wasn’t the pixel boob version of Lara, but those jakeyjoel boys made even this gay boy excited to do some tomb raiding with my girl. Send them a free SL every time you need a tech, Wotc!
My biggest addition would be Karn, Great Creator for more artifact recursion if Lara is taken/removed too many times. Having artifact control in a Commander game is also powerful in itself.
Mirrodin Besieged can be the last resort when your commander is targeted too much and removed, and you have too many artifacts in the graveyard. Might work, might not, but it's worth a try.
Its going...Its going...Its GONE!! Out of the park fellas, absolute home run vid and deck tech! Congrats on being noticed by the "Great Eye, wreathed in flame" as well!.
I didn't think the card was remotely interesting or viable, but JAJAM raided the tombs and made a cool deck using a commander of all time. #mtg #jajamfam #butseriouslygivethemsupport
I'm going to build into multiple combats, that will trigger both of her abilities every combat. It also helps to take out multiple opponents in one turn when lara is hitting for lethal commander damage.
