Gilanra + Tevesh is also a neat Superfriends combo. If you run all the 1-drop dorks, you can get Tevesh Szat out turn 3 and start popping out his 0/1s as additional chaff blockers to help block the amount of aggro thrown your way. Lots of Golgari walkers are also 6+ mana and would make you draw a card with Gilanra.
Hey, I'd love to see a breakdown of Leori! I've been working on a Leori deck that uses the Kenriths, because the dual faced walker can be either and the walker that is Will and Rowan are both efficient ways to have multiple of the same walker.
How exactly does Saruman himself help protect the planeswalkers? The army is only a singular token which can only protect a singular planeswalker from a singular creature. Nothing Saruman does really helps protect anything, everything else is just grixis goodstuff, which while good, wasn't really what this video was about. The other two were really interesting though, and I'll especially give Xavier some thought! Sisay isn't a particularly unique commander, but I haven't seen a superfriends sisay before!
Saruman as a card does not protect planeswalkers well, but I liked it as an interesting commander that I had to work to make functional. I originally planned for Ovika, Enigma Goliath to be the final commander I talked about, but it being seven mana really slowed down the decks game-plan, and lead to alot of non games if it got removed. I would say you are correct, Saruman is definitely the weakest of my recommendations. I wish I would have mentioned other cards like the third path iconoclast and other token generators I had in the deck, but didn’t want the video to run super long. Thank you so much for your feedback! Glad you enjoyed the other two commanders!
Yeah I love the video man but you can’t tap Xavier at instant speed. Literally says so on the card. Makes intruder alarm not as powerful unless you give him the ability to tap at instant speed
That’s very true. While Xavier can only tap at sorcery speed, I still think a card like intruder alarm is very useful in the deck for max proliferation. Good catch, thanks for the correction! 👍
