The Scorpion God Commander Deck Tech 

Scorpion god aka wither tribal.

never stop making content! It's great!!!

Any chance you can do the new Sphinx legend? Seems like a interesting card that can be a sort of graveyard loving mono blue Sphinx tribal deck.

This is like your third video I've stumbled upon, and I've gotta say I like the way you present your content. Keep it up mate. I really like how you don't showcase decks trying to be super broken.

This deck is disgusting, I’ll be building it next week

Remember forbidden orchard with the strategy of giving your opponent 1/1s to kill.

Amazing as always!!! The problem is I want to build all your decks...

Hey Jumbo, This vid was GREAT. Love the new gods and what they offer as new commanders with new(ish) strategies. A few I'd like to draw to your attention for this deck that I think are useful and fun would be: Flamekin Harbinger to serch up those utility elementals you mentioned Fists of the Demigod because Scorp god has fists, right? Puncture Blast and it's lil brothers Puncture Bolt and Scar Soul-Scar Mage with direct dmg effects These are just to name a few! Enjoy and happy brewing!

Thanks for doing this deck tech man. The scorpion God is the God that has gotten the least amount of love from the community. I've gone a bit of control build myself but I've also dipped my toe into voltron. The scorpion God is only one power away from a three hit kill and if you give him infect you only need to hit twice. The recursion ability really helps as well. Fist of the demigod is great if you want to do that because it gives him +2/+2 first strike and wither. If you target him with a Chandras ignition while he has infect/wither that will give you a total board wipe, it will fill your hand and it might also kill an opponent or two.

I was legit gonna ask for a deck tech on the scorpion god

Would Liliana, Death Wielder be a good addition to this deck?

I built a scorpion god commander after watching this video. I wanted to try the idea with rats and insects and it turned out very well in my playgroup. Keep it up with the good content, you make my work day go by.

I literally forgot this creature existed, I guess scarab and locust just kinda eclipses it

I'm so happy to see you talked about wither for this deck tech. I like wither as a more friendly infect.. My playgroup absolutely abhors infect and will hate you out of every game if you show infect pieces, thanks to it being so busted. I was thinking about building this guy as an answer to the plethora of token decks popping up in my meta.

I'm actually going more the control root with this god. Although I'm also going to be using a discard theme with this to combo with all the cycling cards. I figured my win con will be the scorpion god itself.

almost 9k on subs. congrats man, been with you for a long while and you never fail at giving great ideas. I've improved a lot of my own decks from your suggestions and you have given me ideas on what to build next.

I loved this video. I just built the Scorpion God a few weeks ago and this is exactly the inspiration I needed to refine the deck.

Love these deck techs and the content in general!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, going to sleep to the sound of your voice in my new favorite commander deck.

Can you do a samurai tribal deck?

Ive had a masterpiece scorpion god for a while now. And I was bummed it wasn’t a better god. And then I stopped playing for a bit. But now? Ooh you’re god damn right I’m building this.

I've had my Scorpion God Infect Deck since the Commander's Quarters did a tech vid. You helped it become more evil with things like Caress of Phyrexia and Hand of the Praetors. I salute you, but my playgroup will not. :D

Absolutely disgusting deck tech. If you and the commanders quarters were to team up that would be awesome 😉

Your voice is similar to that of a film studies professor I had. Anywho...I just built Scorpion God and pretty much built this deck with some differences. Mostly was wither creatures, infect creatures, and things that worked along with -1/-1 counters.

i wish there was a jund -1-1 commander so i could run this guy and hapatra as secret commanders

Hapatra . When the god is your commander . There is green -.-

My favorite combo in my scorpion god deck is hateflayer and surestrike trident i don't know how many times i just sat back waited for everyone to tap out then go "okay let me enchant hateflayer with glistening oil and kill all of you at once" not to mention having glistening oil alone is an out of nowhere enchantment that can go on the scorpion god cause even if he's killed both cards go straight back to your hand no problem

Furystoke Giant is pretty good with infect. Lets all your infect creatures hit creatures and players directly

Massacre worm would be a good finisher.

Hey Jumbo I'm guessing you saw the images for the last two Commanders for Commander 2017? What do you think that last tribe is? I'm guessing that It's Rogues.

Just unbelievable deck! But unlikely The Scorpion God deck I'd better start to make Rat Tribe Marrow-Gnawer deck. It feels much more fun!

A little sad that u never mentioned Soul-Scar Mage which has a very easy time placing -1/-1 counters on the enemy creatures, especially with boardwipe damage. However, i REALLY liked what i saw, sounds awesome :D

In the process of converting my Hapatra deck into Scorpion God. Like seeing War-Riders mentioned now that we have Varchild :D

Does The Scorpion God enable Jund Infect, perhaps Whiteless Infect? It'll be be quite interesting.

With so much card draw and token generation, I'm surprised I didn't see a Carnival of Souls and/or Black Market in there. Just draw through your deck until you hit an Exsanguinate and rip everyone's faces off simultaneously.

With all that draw from the god, i was waiting for Psychosis Crawler. Now that's another beast for this deck :) Also, with Archfiend, i wouldn't so much add more cycling (though it's always great), but cash on the discard from all the draws (given we don't go "you have no maximum hand size" route), and then throw in some reshuffling (original Eldrazi titans, Elixir of Immortality). Great video, thanks for all the ideas!

My Philosophy on playing Rakdos colors....You are trying to get your opponents to hate you, Kaervek you want to play any card that deals direct damage and punish people for just casting spells....Mogis, you want to force people to make a choice on either sacrificing a creature or paying life....Olivia Voldaren, you want to just steal your opponent's creatures....And Malfegor is a board wipe while enabling madness for yourself. My point is, if you want to play Rakdos colors, be ready to be a target at the table...

Man your videos are good, you definitely deserve more subs!

(evil laughter) -1/-1 counters you say? Oh the fun I've had with my Hepatra! I cant wait to build the Scorpion God! I've already got most of the cards thanks to Hepatra.

I have a deck that relies on Wither and has the nasty bloatfly and crumbling ashes enchantments. I carry some Hex Parasites on the off chance my creatures are the only ones tagged and I don't feel like blowing them up. Great video, been waiting for some Scorpion God love. Keep it up.

I'm both surprised and not surprised that Blightsteel Colossus wasn't in this deck.

I guess I'm not the only one who had thought of this Wither/Infect style deck with that God. That would explain why those card's prices have gone up recently. My strategy is a little different, but it falls under the same category.

I've tried so hard with infect edh in multiplayer and majority of my games I use all my resources on one opponent then wither away the rest of the game. 1v1 is where I see infect as a monster

Everlasting Torment + Nest of Scarabs + Blasphemous act

I have him in my Thraximundar deck as a card draw engine. Things are dying left and right, so I toss a counter on a creature before it dies and there we go. I also run Soldevi Adnate, so his death trigger makes Adnate a 5 mana engine when I need it with no real repercussions. That provides me with whatever Morbid triggers I need too. The Scorpion God is a toolbox wherever you put him.

It would be really cool if you could make a deck tech with all three of them as somewhat hidden commanders. I think they have some overlapping themes you could work with. Like wheel effects or token creation (something like doubling season would be sick I think)

built a scorpion god deck, went very deep on the wither effects, built it around pingers and proliferate abilities, using some really neat cards like oracle's vault and pyramid of the pantheon from amonkhet

One addition to the Nest of Scarabs/Blowfly Infestation combo is some aristocrats and then you just win the game.

Thantis the Warweaver as a commander with Hapatra and Scorpion God as sub-commanders

Before this video i considered Scorpion god as trash, and yet It's really a GOD.

Thantis the Warweaver would be a good Swarmyard tribal commander

Just makes think of mutilate...

an Idea for the rat part of the deck, how about pack rat? It seems like a good addition, discard a card which works well with archfiend of ifnir, have another rat for the rat synergies and if all else fails, big beatsticks to kill your opponent with.

And he delivered! Was secretly waiting for this >:) Thank you!

Do you know what makes creature ramp decks want to end their life in the most gruesome way possible? lol it's suture priest

I pulled scorpion god at pre release, I guess I am shoving him in a commander deck now.

YES! All the YES!!! I was waiting for this one. Thank you so much

ever thought about running dictate of erebos and grave pact? :) i mean, you don care if you sac your tokens to draw a card

Probably my next deck lol

I kinda want to do an interchangeable build with scorpion god and neheb of the worthy

1 comment already? Do you guys not watch the vid first?

Hapatra and the Scorpion should have had Partner, I'm so sad

anarchy is one of the best ways to deal with enchantments, most of the "scary" ones are white.

I really like this channel. Your voice is so chill .D it's relaxing to listen to this

The only god possible.

Surprised Toxic Deluge didn't come up~

not happy you spread the Tainted Strike tech around. boo to that move

You can use cattle trops

Cool deck! I'm building this for sure!

I wasn't going to build him...But ya got me.

>maybe we'll get some rat support in commander 17| tfw there's rat hate

I wanna make him so bad

This deck must be really fun to play

Not a ton of mana rocks like crypt and vault?

Little dated but Aurelia the Warleader tokens please

Oh, Endrek Sahr doesn't die immediately when you have too many thrulls? You can sacrifice below 7 before it triggers?

Great video. Already subscribed and I like this video. Was working on a Marchesa the black rose infect deck but there was not much going on in red so I was looking into wither when the Scorpion God was spoiled. My head is spinning and you just made it worse. Haha. Seriously, Marchesa, the black rose/Scorpion god infect/wither? Should I pick one or the other or do both these strategies mesh?

Hey Jumbo Commander! Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Jay Ingram from Discovery Channel? :P

You're a pretty clever deckbuilder.

Oh wow! I never even thought of using Chandra's Ignition or Warstorm Surge with Infect creatures! Oh man Chandra's Ignition with the Scorpion god equipped to Grafted Exoskeleton is sick! Deal 8 Infect damage to each other creature, 8 poison counters to each opponent, and draw a ton of cards from both you and your opponent's creatures dying! Awesome video Jumbo! I wasn't sure if I was going to build a Scorpion god deck, but now I kind of want to make a infect version of the Scorpion god since I've never made a infect deck before, and this one looks like it could be fun! There have been so many great commanders in the last couple years! I want to build so many of them, but I really shouldn't. I already build a Neheb the Eternal deck, and I plan to make a deck for the Scarab god, The Ur Dragon, and maybe that new Vampire commander coming in Commander 2017.

Furystoke Giant, fang skulkin, and chainbreaker are amazing too

Hey, weird question. Do you work at oasis games? Your voice sounds exactly like the owner of that shop.

Your videos are awesome. I think I am a little addicted. Also, could you do Gitrog as well? Great content dude!

thanks Jumbo. in my sorrounds i'm the only one exited with this god. great deck

I thought of a good piece of tech for the scorpion god. Using Archfiend of Inhir, and Sire Of Insanity, what do you think?

Hell yes

That's a really great deck. But, how much does it cost?

I have made this deck. My biggest Winner is blightsteel Colossus chandra's ignition

MASSACRE WURM!!!!!

WoOo NECrOSkiTter

Such a scary deck tech

I've built this. Not got to play with it yet though

Sweet. Exactly what I needed. I'm making a jund commander deck with Hapatra and the scorpion God as the unofficial commanders.

YES.YES. Y E S.

Subbed.

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but the Blowfly Infestation Nest of Scarabs combo doesn't work. Blowfly Infestation reads, "Whenever a creature is put into a graveyard from play...". Since the tokens from Nest of Scarabs do not go to the graveyard, you don't get the Blowfly Infestation trigger.

Glistening oil

Honestly I stopped listening once infect was mentioned. Love the other part of the deck tho ;)
