The Green Players Were Right aka the Codie Roast 

Shitting other people's pants is absolutely a Blue Black strategy

Anyone who says Knowledge isn't Power doesn't probably understand what makes Codie a truly Profane Tutor.

_Can't cast permanents_ _Proceeds to load the deck with every single "take control of X" instant and sorcery you can possibly find_ _Everyone else at the table kindly plays the permanents you can't for you_ That's right, uncle Ricky may not be able to have children but he sure can kidnap everyone who moves into the neighborhood.

I have to share the ALMOST ALL PERMANENTS lunatic degeneracy that is my friend’s Codie deck. The only non-permanent spell in the deck is Primal Surge. There are mana rocks, sacrifice outlets, and a LOT of HUGE creatures, at least half of which are 11 or more mana. He ramps up, gets a sac outlet on board (or metalwork colossus in his graveyard which lets him sacrifice Codie to play it), makes the Codie mana, sacrifices Codie, spends 11+ mana on a massive chonk-bonk brute the size of your mother, and triggers the ability given to the mana Codie produced, which leads to exactly one sorcery - Primal Surge. His entire deck hits the field. Maelstrom wanderer and others give everything haste. Avacyn makes it all indestructible. Blightsteel Colossus and the Eldrazi titans say hello before your mind melts from the glistening oil showing you the blind eternities. Craterhoof behemoth makes everything so thick that they made an ad for Viagra. Draco is there. It That Betrays laughs in tongues. Every single doomsday creature card in magic arrives like it’s Avengers Endgame but Thanos decided to snap everything. I would hate it if it wasn’t the single most glorious abomination I’ve ever seen a magic deck create.

The wonderful thing about this thing as a commander is that you can literally make a deck with ninety seven lands, approach of the second sun, and narset’s reversal and actually win games.

I have a codie deck, but it's built around Rampage of the Clans. Get a bunch of artifacts/enchantments, and cast any 5 mana instant/sorcery to cast rampage to turn them all into 3/3. The downside is that you can't play any other instant/sorcery spells with mana value 4 or less because then codie might hit it instead of rampage. Very funny and silly

You forgot the way to torture someone in a 1 v 1, donate Codie and watch the life drain out of their eyes

"can't cast permanent spells" Okay but like- if I wanted permanents there are these funny little spells that generate tokens. Or I could drop a Goblinslide before Codie.

I haven't played MTG in years, and one look at "You can't cast permanent spells" my first thought was "This is not a restriction, there's seventeen billion ways to either not need to cast permanents in the first place or to cheat them out of the deck/graveyard, that is no handicap at all that's the cost of doing business with this card" and I'm glad my thoughts lined up with yours

Kaalia of the Vast deserves a 10 book essay on how unfair that shit is

There's a reason certain books aren't allowed in school. Necronomicon, Book of the Dead, Codie...just to name a few.

Codie can 1000% get it. You see how THICC they are? They got so much back, you don't even know where the front is.

Nevermind that that tap ability reads as potentially any 5 drop in the deck if they have Bring to Light in hand.

This man is gonna blow up any day now.

I’ve seen a Codie deck that was cycle a shit ton of creatures then cascade into living end to vomit them onto the board while clearing everyone else’s

As a green player I second this roast

Thanks for putting a imagine of using Codie's pages as a fleshlight into my head 🙃

LeVar Burton’s evil understudy killed me dude. I haven’t laughed out loud like that in a while. You can’t disappoint a picture!

I play this deck with almost every instant or sorcery card that is 2 cmc so I can hit my inevitable betrayal and just copy it. And then recur it. I get to play my opponent's fun creatures.

My man just made the best playboy advertisement to ever exist and he did it for free.

i love your energy so much, this time next year 250k you deserve it

This is the personification of "I'm only using 1% of my power"

So my codiex deck revolved around looting into, and then recurring from the graveyard 'freed from the reel'. (Or a similar enchantment) That way I could infinitely tap codie, cast one spell, and declare a thousand million billion cascade triggers.... The deck was then able to ensure it never ran out of cards, returning things from grave/exile. This might sound annoying (because it was).... But I love the idea of this book just spewing infinite pieces of paper to win a fight.

I took this deck apart some time ago, but that was a ton of fun. Aside from my sliver deck, I think that's the only time I ever played five colours.

Thank you for the reading recommendation. I took a look at that playboy magazine you mentioned and the articles are hilarious.

Love your work man

Theres a guy in my play group that had a Codie deck built around Hypergenesis. Those games are the pinnacle of chaos. I remember one game this lead to someone dropping Emrakul, The Promised End turn five. Fun times.

Codie was my very first commander deck i made. Too many good spells to fit into one deck. Not to mention you can just play permanents before casting codie or after he dies (which he will, alot).

Day 81 of asking for gallia of the endless dance

In brawl dude put this on my field from his... I was so confused and impressed

I remember using this deck, doing a board wipe then getting a buncha tokens from a sorcery for every permanent I dusted 🤣

3 things in my cody deck. 1 token engine. 2 boardwipes. 3 lots of ninjas

We need to hear about Henzie!

I will now scour my library of magic knowledge until I find a car that does the equivalent of shiting your opponents pants

I am once again asking for Zurgo Helmsmasher

I love you Codie but I think it's long past time for Light-Paws to have her day in the sun.

May I bring to the table; Codie + fractured identity or true polymorph. You're welcome ladies and gentlemen

96 wastes deck with Approach of the Second Sun, Narset's Reversal, Serum Powder, and Codie.

Finally, a worthy spellslinging opponent for Krark the Thumbless!

Oh boy. Reading Painbow. Lovely.

I was playing a game with one of the lotr precons that had Treasure Nabber ("When an oponent taps an artifact for mana gain control of it until the end of your next turn") and one of the other players commander was Codie and he just kept giving it to me so I couldn't play the game it was hilarious

Love it! Codie is my favorite commander

Note to self: never touch any playboy magazine in Mald's house

my codie deck I use for brawl on mtg arena is based around "cascading" into role reversal on turn 4 because its the only instant/sorcery in the deck below 4 mana and only two cost more than 4. after I trade your best thing for codie I return everything to your hand and tutor up jin gitaxias, progress tyrant.

I just about laughed myself out of this life and into the next.

As someone who uses this commander to SHIT out Eldrazi’s onto the battlefield at an ungodly pace, all this man speaks is truth

Codie is a fun Cycling Living End commander

Asking for Kadena, Slinking sorcerer, because I like to blindfold my opponents

''The Day of the Marmot'' deck step 1) play Dream Devourer step 2) give fortell to two Harmless Offerings step 3) play Codie , Experimental Frenzy , Weathred Runestone , (Pithing Needle if needed and chose Experimental Frenzy) step 4) Double Offer Codie and Experimental Frenzy step 5) pass turn and tell your opponent you have to leave for a one day trip step 6) return next day to just to see him pass his turn step 7) repeat step 6 and 7 for any amount of times

Oona queen of the fae needs a roast

Tyvar the bellicose leader of the wooden gym!

Can I get a shout out to Thantis absolutely laughing in the wake of chaos?

The most fun I ever had with Codie was when an opponent took control of him without reading the very first line of text on the card and proceeded to lock themselves out of the rest of the game.

"I'm going to shit yourself." - Samuel Hayden

Be a shame if I had 2 archons of valor's reach out, one for instants, one for sorceries.

Codie enjoys building itself in such a way that all effects of the same mana cost are the same. All my 3 drops are wheels. All my 2 drops are removal, etc. The side effect of this is that once I rip the exact thing I need off the top you become public enemy number 1, with a twist; you don’t have blockers to defend yourself with

My Codie deck is 37 lands and instants/sorceries, since I am a wizard who respects himself and his traditions.

'Walmart Gambit' had me dying

Asking for magus lucea kane

Curious to get your opinions on The Council of Four or Dina Soul Steeper

Fractured Identity sounds like an excellent way to make everyone at the table hate you forever.

I love Codie with Cycling

You can do all of that or... Just give Codie to your opponent and watch them suffering

Cast codie on yourself - cast Fractured Identity on your own codie - lose friends

One of my friends made a codie hypergenesis deck

It’s valid to say that this is one book that you can judge by it’s cover

God, I love Codie.

I love colorless commanders, they’re literally all way to good though

Thoughts on Veyran, Voice of Duality? I feel like while it can be generic izzet spellslinger shenantgains, the idea of "i'm going to make an absolutely mess of the stack by doubling triggers" is a lot funnier. and also what I'm trying to work on now. I will copy *all* of the spells, and it will take at least 10 minutes for me to resolve the stack

If they offer to do something like this, it's a trick... Unless that spell has the 'Epic' keyword

Wal-Mart Gambit.....🤣🤣🤣

I am once again asking for ramos

I Wonder if we have a relatively cheap spell that gives every opponent a copy of target permanent we control? So we do shenanigans while they have to politics their codex off the board first….if we let them.

I have a deck designed by MagicTheNoah with 97 wastes, Approach of the Second Sun, and Narset's reversal with Codie as the commander lmao

What about my boy Prossh? He's got KOBOLDS!

This would be so mean in a Blim deck. Just giving this to somebody would murder most decks. Unrelated, I have an idea!

Sould do a video on Partner commanders

Just gonna keep asking for Nethroi, Apex of Death

I love this deck , I end up making copies and giving them to everyone .

Do the beam-town bullies next pretty please!!!!

Can we get the coupon mage, Jodah Archmage Eternal on the field?

i NEED one for Maelstrom Wanderer, hes been my best commander for years and hes so unfair xD

I do like to throw in some permanents into these decks incase I can get them out beforehand.

Use it as a commander for a control deck

My Codie deck doesn’t run permanent spells. We run gates and as many effects that lets me clone steal and kill my openness creatures

I made a Codie deck that just had all the Strixhaven Mystical Archives. it's funny to cast Fractured Identity on Codie

Chulane will come up for review eventually.. Right?

I forgot about CODIE, what a good boi! Day 4 I think of asking for my boi Volrath, you gotta cover his interactions with stuff like Myr Propagator and the Licids

I would live a review if Radha or Nikya

Cast fractured identity on your Codie and watch all your friends disappear

my fav is Codie + Hypergenesis

This man is a genius. Walmart Gambit...

Next Shorikai, Genesis Engine

Any chance we’ll see Athreos, Shroud-Veiled?

How do you feel about Varolz the Scar-Striped?

A lot of people brewing Codie decks seek to get around the restriction through token generation or theft or Living End + cycling shenanigans. My Codie deck too that restriction to heart. The only permanents in the 99 are lands. It does not make tokens. It does not steal cards. It is a pile of burn, draw, ramp, removal and spell recursion. Playing it makes me feel like a wizard on ecstacy starting a magical fistfight with three other wizards who thought we were having minions do the fighting for us.

"offers to play you in chess left-handed"? what

Made a silly deck online with Codie based around Dragon's Approach, with the only other two spells in the deck being Tibalt's Trickery and Reshape the Earth. Activate Codie, cast a Dragon's Approach, "cascade" into Trickery countering your own Approach, and hope you dont randomly mill your Reshape the Earth. If you don't, that's the only thing that Trickery can hit because all the other spells in the deck are Dragon's Approach. Get 9 gates and Maze's End out and hope you survive until your next turn to win with Maze's End. It won one game and I've never played it since.

I play a reanimator Codie, that shit is fun as hell

Do a video on Rafiq of the Many, Scourge of the people who wanna play the game
