The Most Annoying, Irritating, And Evil Commanders of Magic: The Gathering 

Who are your most hated, most annoying, and most evil commanders and why?

In the words of our local control player, "there is a finite amount of fun to be had, and I want all of it."

Funny story: I once played a guy with a knowledge pool deck. It was full of Elixir of Life for everyone, punishment cards like One with Nothing, and cheap defenders. When asked how the deck was intended to win, his response: "Win?"

I play Commander to watch 3 other people not play Commander.

10:08 The Instructor doesn't swear because being absolutely evil is no excuse for being unprofessional.

*video starts* Me: Ok *static crackle* Me: OH WE'RE IN FOR IT NOW

Many magic the gathering players ask the question: how do I get kicked out of my playgroup?

"Wake up professor, we have a community to burn." *Narset removes sunglasses*

Vorinclex is probably the most miserable one I have played against in my group and instantly turned the game into archenemy

I'm sorry. I just realized that we're in a universe where Tibalt was recommended in a deck.

Me: man I’m going to hate these cards so much, hope I never see them Also me: sees the first card is narset while playing with my narset deck😮

Starts talking about Uril, starts listing cards, notices all the cards are in my deck, *sweats*

Ok I’ll say it. The instructor looks mighty fine. I gotta get the contact info of wherever you get them vests sir!

Many Magic: The Gathering players ask the question: *Why is my opponent being a monster?* This video.

Nekusar is one of my favorites. Any player: “I’m gonna draw/discard cards!” Nekusar: “I’m about to wheel this man’s whole career.”

"SPEAK TO YOU LATER . . . . MOTHER" Rofl, that's great.

"I'm a naughty boy! Naughty naughty!" Absolutely cracked me up.

You forgot to add insult to injury with Grand Arbiter: Armageddon Sunder Cataclysm Catastrophe

"Most Evil Commanders" *laughs in Zur and Derevi*

Ironically, I was introduced to commander by a friend of mine who played Uril, the Mistwalker

Glad to see The Instructor back!!

Build it once, get kick out of your play group forever. That sound about right. Hahaha

The Instructor helped me build Oloro and Purphoros. Tolarian State University is the BEST place to void the game of fun for everyone but you!!

I've always wondered what would happen if two of these "stop your opponents from doing anything at all" deck went head to head. Probably misery for all

Man, i lost it at "Mother" hahahahahaha

I loved this video from Phyrexian Private University!

"it is wonderful in it's suckitude!" - the Professor (2019)

"It's a miserable tick that will make your playgroup call you a d...eeevious soul" Lol that got me

Hahah, I love that you committed to the bit for the whole video. This is my favourite MTG channel by far

Many Magic the Gathering players ask the question "Who pissed the professor off?"

I started playing EDH with my playgroup 10 years ago. We didn't know much about the format, didn't do much research, and didn't bought any new cards, just builded a deck apiece from our existing card collection. My first choice for commander would have been Tibor and Lumia (still one of my favorite legends today), but than I spotted this card in my binder. It was a new card, a foil one; I opend it just a few days prior from a booster. It wasn't my charachteristic colors at all (no blue, neither black, and just a little bit of red), but it looked like an effective choice. I builded the deck, and I took it to our next game session. The card was, of course, Uril, the Miststalker. And I won all of our commander matches for a long time. My friends weren't too happy about it. After a while, I builded other decks, and the balance was restored... but I still have that first Uril-deck, and I still update it time to time. It's a good reminder of that time, when I accidentally chose one of the most powerful and evil commander, without knowing what I was doing.

*watching the video* "...I've built that... ...built that too... ...I've... Crafted that one... ...and that one... ...and that... Wow, am I the baddie?"

Can you sell T shirts with the red logo of Tolaria State University pleeeease? If they also have the phrase "this university isn't for everyone" it whould be magnificent

There appears to be a slight shift of azorious I wonder why.

That awkward moment when you own three of the five decks listed >.>

We used to have a player in our player group that would always play the most toxic decks. Locking us out games. We ended up making rules to ensure everyone would have fun. 1) No infinite 2) No Perma lock 3) No mass land destruction 4) No 1 V 1 counter decks 5) Commander is a fun format. Everyone get's it or no one get's it. The toxic player who was a friend of ours up till this moment would still play toxic decks, but would wait with his combo's until later in game and would brake the rules. Every one of our group got so tired of playing against him even though his win rate was the lowest amongst us that we would all play counter decks or perma lock decks and use it only against him. Every time he would face us he would get 4-6 counter/lock decks against him and we would all save our counters just for him. Eventually he freaked out and we all responded at the same time '' oh so now that you are being locked out the game it's suddenly not funny anymore''. The dude left magic after that and our commander nights finally stopped being toxic and was for the first time everyone was having fun playing it. Moral of the story, If you're going to play toxic decks expect a toxic rebound.

I love how much fun you are having in this video. Seeing you as the cackling, moustache-twirling Instructor is always a sight to behold

I think this is one of your best intros this year. Love that your hair and goatee is quaffed in character. Well done.

You forgot about giving infect to Kaervek, dealing 40 damage is for chumps

"The instructor is a pretty cool guy." "I LOOOOVE BOGGLES!" "YOU FIEND!"

See, this is why I stopped playing Commander at my LGS; too many Instruc-tors started playing and I saw EXACTLY these decks.

Many Magic the Gathering players wonder how to make their friends hate them?

Loved the video! I have a Kaervek deck which runs almost all of the cards mentioned in the video, but with one slight difference: when Kaervek triggers, I let my opponents choose where to shoot the damage (they can't target me or my stuff, obviously). I call it "Kaervek, the Social Experiment", and it's super fun to see players rile up against each other. It's one of my favourite decks and an absolute blast to play for the whole table.

Have to say, I absolutely love how committed to your persona you are in all of your videos. Here it's especially fun to see you take on a very different one. Makes for an engaging viewing experience.

The one you forgot, because you got mindrazored, is Nekusar.

You forgot about Teferi, mage of Zhalfir and his best friend Knowledgepool!

Evil Professor....something I never knew I wanted, but now I want MUCH MORE.

Could you do an updated video on this? Keep the same humor, love it!

I had a friend who played Kaervek Stax, full of Smoke and the like. Even had a Crystal Chimes and a Skull of Orm for recursion!

My Brago is Spirit tribal, and I always mention this first thing when people complain when he comes out. ...yes, he is still pretty oppressive in spite of that, why did you ask?

Please, more videos like this ! It's both fun and instructive !

Hey Prof, can you make a video about the most FUN and fair commander decks? Thanks to that Brago build, my playgroup has trapped me in another dimension

You need to play a villain more often. I quite enjoyed evil you 😁

Everybody gangsta until Grand Arbiter Augistin IV shows up

I love your goofy video style prof! Very entertaining yet informative at the same time!(: keep up the good work!

This guy is my favourite. Every video he makes just makes me smile. He has such great character to him. Thanks for being excellent

Just built an Uril deck. Seems fun, I'm itching to play it

Having ne'er utilized Patreon before, I am now going to figure it out when I get home later. Gratitude Profess....er, Instructor for the lesson. 💖

love your channel...learning new tricks for magic is always a good idea

You sir are a truly creative and entertaining content creator. I want a legendary creature referencing "tolarian professor" to play as a commander. Thank you for your hard work!!

Best part of this video was Shill Share. I laughed so hard

Man, I played a game with somebody where they drew almost their whole deck and made me discard half of mine in one turn, on turn four. I conceded before their turn was done. It was a Commander match, and they were using Nekusar.

So, do we get TSU content based on your beard growing cycle?

This was completely sinister, and so damn entertaining. Also, did you just cram like 6 deck techs into a video under 15 minutes?! You are a Boss, Sir.

I love Tolaria State's intro and also the EVILNESS

Instructor, your evilness, To make your Uril deck even more hated, I humbly recommend you run a Totem armor aura package to prevent him from being swept away by wrath effects. And most importantly, run Bear Umbra and Aggravated Assault for infinite attacks!

This has been my favorite video yet! Hilariously awesome! Thank you for making MTG even more fun! :)

Some relatable content at last! It should also be noted that Tangle Wire player gets extra value both from removing a counter before tapping and tapping it to its own trigger

lol that intro, one think he is talking with a "super evil guy" and, at the end he say... thank you... "mother" !!! wth lol :D

What's the card/art that was displayed behind the Uril segment? Looks like some kind of town totem armor?

Just discovered this channel. Man you're funny and also you included the Grand Arbiter which was a must imo. Congrats.

Love the intro!! And your outfit looks nice. Keep up the great videos sir

The Skillshare ad had me actually laughing out loud. Love this evil alter ego for Prof

I really do like the character of the instructor. I simply love how much he doesnt hide his evil attitude at all. I kind of want to see more of this guy.

For the Rakdos Commander you forgot Everlasting Torment and Havoc Festival. Havoc Festival with Wound Reflection is death and Everlasting Torment prevents life gain and goes very well with the Scorpion God to get draw power.

At 10:12 ‘I thinking any sliver, mostly “Sliver Overlord”’

Professor el diablo. SERRA IS WATCHING YOU.

I played Nekusar for about half a year, outcome was that i got focused in every game

I have a Brago deck that runs every card you mentioned. My playgroup hates it. I feel so mischievous! Muahahahaha

I thought that the audio wasn't at level of quality as it usually is. Maybe the gain was turned? Perhaps keep an eye on it? Other than that great show as always! Keep up the good work!

Mate, you built brago wrong, where's your staxs pieces? You play your stax pieces then use brago to untap your mana rocks. That's how to do it evilllllyyyyy

No Gaddock Teeg, Instructor? You’ve surprised me today.

Great video Prof!!

I would love to see a full on DeckTech for Narset!

I really like seeing the Instructor. He's my kinda guy

Honorable mentions to Purphoros, Nekusar and OG Krenko. Because just playing the game should do damage.

Amazing video! You forgot Zozu the punisher or maybe you did not mention him because you have already make a video about it, Thanks for bringing new ways to torture my friends, they will be very happy

Hey professor! What kinda setup would you recommend to record unboxing’s? I find it cumbersome to put the camera right in front of my chest

Haha, a buddy of mine has been perfecting Uril for some time now... So I built a Phenax nope deck full of big butts and mill wombo combos.

This is exactly how I imagine Tibalt

Kinda in the vein of Uril, I have a Sigarda enchantress voltron deck. Not quite as quick to grow massive as Uril does, but the included flight and sacrifice immunity make up for it.

amazing background music for Grand Arbiter

I'm in love ❤😍💯💯 I run Lavinia very nice alternative to the Grand Arbiter

Here's my response to your behaviour Instructor : "Hatred outlives the hateful."

Thank you professor, you just gave me ideas for my Lavina, Azorius Renegade deck

Some of my favorite commanders and new ones I've never thought of using. Thanks, Professor.

Grand Arbiter Augustin VI is so miserable commander to play against.

I'm slightly offended my man Gaddock Teeg didn't make the list.

I've played against every single one of those decks. I've beaten a few of them. I outpaced a damn good Grand Arbiter deck with my 8 and 1/2 tails deck. And that thing was pimped out with Sakashima the Impostor and everything! Surprised you didn't mention Vial Smasher.

Quick question. What was the song playing on your last reveal with the Grand Arbiter? If anyone knows, please let me know, and thank you.
