Hey Eric, nice pimped review! I almost have the same deck, I found a card that if it can stay on field is just nuts in this deck and slows many many other decks, Overburden.
Beautiful deck, you put a lot of TLC into it, congrats. A few cards I noticed that are not in there, which are criminally underplayed in most Yarok decks: Woodland Bellower (it's nuts), Gray Merchant of Ashodel and Dance of Many.
Most of my decks are fairly pimped, but I don't mind using proxies for anything over $200, pretty standard w/ my playgroup who all love making cool proxies. Hats off to you for doing the real thing
@@ericthenerdguy completly understandable and I commented just as a joke meant no harm. What i do think is worth nothing is that they'll be more expensive in the future so grabbing them to sell might be an option too
Hi Eric, do you think you would be able to make a super pimped out Atraxa Superfriends deck? It's the very first commander deck I ever made and I would love to see what I should be attempting to get it to be one day.
Yes, that's one of my decks actually! I have an older version on my channel, but am working on a revised list and more pimped verision, which I will post when I have it completed!
I Have a Yarok deck, and congrats on gettingh such a blingy build together. Most impressive. Some of my thoughts, in no particular order. I like Natural Order more than Green Sun's Zenith, because it can very cheaply get you a card like Craterhoof Behemoth. Also, if you want to play an "X" spell that tutors for a creature, I'd still play Finale of Devastation over GSZ, personally. Vedalken Orerry feels like an odd choice for this deck. It's a fine card. It does what it says on the box, but do we really need that effect? Sword of Feast and Famine is also a fine card, and if your meta is heavily green or black, fine, if not, it has no particular synergy with Yarok per se. I don't play mana dorks in my build, though Birds is always a good card in a 3-color deck. I play more land fetching creatures, which are more like 3 mana. I have very few one-drops. I would recommend Dryad of the Elysian Grove over Courser of Kruphix, personally. The color fixing and additional land drop are both pretty good. Some cards I like in my Yarok deck: Cream of the Crop, Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Tooth and Nail, Chromatic Lantern, Mirage Mirror, Dryad of the Elysian Grove, Command Tower, Zagoth Triome, Opulent Palace, and Vesuva. Both the Vesuva and the Mirage Mirror can copy Field of the Dead. The Mirror can also copy Avenger, which won't get you more tokens, but will get you more counters on the tokes you have. I notice you're not playing Scapeshift. I think that card is nuts if you have a Field of the Dead and an Avenger of Zendikar in the deck, and only gets better with Vesuva and maybe a Splendid Reclamation. I also was a bit surprised that there isn't a copy of Ob Nixilis, the Fallen, in there. I guess I play a lot more Landfall stuff than you do...
Buying the most expensive version of every card to "pimp out" your deck is the mtg equivalent of a manchild playing dressup with his truck. You have 0 creative design or deck integrity. A mashup of expensive cards with no other direction is cheap and far less valuable than a well catered personalized deck. People who do things like this are tacky and have 0 individuality, they assume that the best of something is the thing with the highest number.. so sad
