Prossh may as well be a baker since his fate is determined by bread. Here are three different ways to build him for different budget levels. #magicthegathering #mtg #mtgcommunity #cardgame #mtgcommander
You know, I usually don't think about how well-written these videos are, bc you deliver them so naturally I just assume that's how you normally speak. But *man* these are well-written!
honestly. rather then going Voltron > Aristocrats... you just stay Voltron and Toss in the Food chain. less cards to change, are possible cheaper then the Token Staples Aristocrats will want
More was a foodchain deck in cedh. At this point it just cannot compete anymore but will completely obliterate any casual level deck, so sadly i think foodchain prosh has no place anywhere at this point, anymore.
This deck outline deserves a Bad Dragon sponsorship. Jokes aside, great video and hope to see more of this as a series. And yes Prosh can get it, he comes with an orgy.
I dunno, that's mostly how my deck wins; by dumping vast swathes of tokens into play that get funnelled into direct damage at instant speed. Prossh is just there to polish off who doesn't die in the Purphoros-flavoured hellfire.
Check out Jan Jansen, Chaos Crafter. Affectionately known as "Crackhead Legos". Assemble a Rube Goldberg machine that makes infinite tokens that ping your opponents for infinite damage, each -1 at a time.
I run a Xyris the Writhing Storm deck as one of my pet commanders. People come for the free Ancient Cravings that come with letting Xyris bonk you. They don't leave because I resolve Impact Tremors followed by Prosperity, X = 20.
I think the reason I love these videos is, much like myself, Mald seems like a genuinely nice person, but when he sits down at a table to play Magic, all that goes out the window, and he will trash you, your mom, and everything you love as he stomps you into the dirt. Then smile at go back to being nice when it’s done. 😁
I have a Prossh deck that I used just yesterday where the entire theme is "You're gonna murder my army? Two can play at that game!" with a plethora of instant speed sacrifice effects. It's very funny and at least 50% of the deck is the original Power Hungry precon. Mirko Vosk is next on my docket, gonna use cipher cards because it's funny
TBH, i’d call the aristocrats build mid-high budget and the TRUE villain build (combo) as actual high budget. featuring such bastards as food chain (one card infinite with your commander) and earthcraft (infinite with squirrel nest and insane value piece otherwise, also reserved list and $90), this is for when instead of simply sympathizing with bezos, you aspire to take his place
I'd love to see a ton more of these types of "budget ranges" videos. They're fun and informative, and still have that certain MaldHound charm you normally see in the roast videos
Ah man i missed these how to lose friends videos!! Theyre so well made i actually spent my first 6 months playing exclusively a homebrew version of your werewolf deck! (Still waiting for the sequel lol) but genuinely! Well done and i hope you make more :)🌻
I'm currently building an Urza, Chief Artificer deck and Throne of Tarkir is going to be absolutely devastating in that deck when I have some big karnstructs and some thopters
Thank you for the heart! It means a lot. I would enjoy to see you do a deck list for "Mishra, Claimed by Gix" based around the meld function and/or token beat down.
You forgot to mention how Tainted Strike is a one mana "You get to go home now!" card with Prossh even on the first cast. And also that Grave Pact and Dictate of Erebos are just brutal in an aristocrats build.
Love more commander ideas, even if it's in weird 3-color combinations. On the topic of Aristocrats and irresponsibly sacrificing the underlings, might I suggest a roast of Teysa, Orzhov Scion?
I really just added dragon throne to my galea deck. It's really a fun thing to do to have eldrazi conscription, giants belt, and colossus hammer on one thing then give it to everyone 😊
Oohh, my first cEDH commander :p I built 2 decks before Prossh- Marath, Will of the Wild and Omnath, Locus of Mana. After about 2 years of playing with VERY budgeted decks prioritizing cards in my own existing collection, I started intentionally buying cards for my first ever deck that I wanted to REALLY improve on. Some of the very first cards I got were Food Chain, Purphoros, Fecundity, Blood Artist, Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, Mana Vault, Grave Pact, Greater Good, Ashnod's Altar, Tooth and Nail, Craterhoof Behemoth, and Avenger of Zendikar. There were plenty of other sacrifice outlets and cards that netted card advantage for sacrificing creatures as well, but this deck was honestly one of the first i had ever assembled with the intent to tell my blue-playing pod members to "go fuck themselves" because i was so damn tired of being Cyclonic Rifted every damn game and the best way to prevent that from happening was to just "win first".
It was the first "expensive" deck I got, right now I built it with Food Chain but to make a shitton of tokens, and cast Reclkess Bushwhacker and swing for lethal :D! (I do have it semi aristo-cedh). Can't wait to see the budget build! I tried to make it with Rohgahh and a couple more juicy dragons, but ended discarding it to build Henzie :D!
I used to have a Prossh deck of the aristocats variety. able to do all the above in terms of buffing the kobolds, hitting with Prossh and go for the aristocats to finish folks off once the combat step was done. Will say Vicious shadows makes short work of people when the kobolds get fed to the hungry dragon. Certainly, a deck I miss and would likely rebuild, but currently the Jund'ing comes in the form of Sek'Kuar Deathkeeper and his cult of goblin zealots. Hopefully, one day I will ride along side this beautiful dragon once again
If you are willing to forgo the vigilance from tarian’s soul cleaver, there’s a less mana intensive version: blade of the bloodchief. It does the exact same thing without the vigilance, but costs one less mana to cast and equip in the same turn.
actually the funniest thing is that you can build him cheap and just add foodchain. if you build the deck correctly and you add a lot of ways to draw and tutor the card (you are in black even in budget that is possible) then the changes gears completely. you can have the rest of the deck cost 60$ and a simply foodchain will make it an unstoppable force. honestly, because I love ghave but my favorite color is red, I want to do exactly that.
I don't know if this was supposed to be helpful, but Imma build that prossh deck. My playgroup has an internal joke that all my gameplans revolve around tokens (think emmara-esque decks), so I might as well lean into that because I love tokens :D
Hidden tech for anyone who wants to play the aristocrats build of prosh. Smothering Abomination is probably Prosh's best friend because you get to draw so many cards when you start sacrificing your kobolds to your altars you can pivot into a combo kill once you've generated enough mana through looping sacrifices and recasting Prosh with cards like Fireball, altar of the brood for mill, Nadir's Nightblade for more damage, Ect. Also check out a card called Shivin Harvest where you too can commit war crimes and nuke a whole board of non-basic lands with your kobalds for a low investment of 2 mana and a creature per land after an inital 2 mana cast.
@maldhound, I am having a shitty night (literally and figuratively) at work, can you do one of these or one of your regular breakdowns for Narset, Enlightened Exile?
Tier 4: Food Chain Whereas Aristocrats sacrifices Tokens for Value, you sacrifice Friendship for Game Wins. And when nobody in the casual sphere wants to play with you any more, you'll find that even the cEDH folks don't want to hang with you because FC Prossh doesn't have staying power at the very tippity top any more. Rest in pieces, my sweet prince. You will not be missed. By anyone but me. Shhh, shh, don't tell them I love you, they'll kick me out again...
Since 2013 I have taken prossh through all of these steps and now play an unholy combo of the three. It kills you out of nowhere and with anything. If I swing at you with prossh, you're probably dead on the spot, if I swing with the swarm you know you're dead, if I don't swing its because I have comboed out and already killed you
“Give him the ability to make and then immediately unmake more little gremlins than a high school prom night”…. Sides = current status: circling lower orbit.
You need a bookshelf back drop; It'll look more professional. Also, have you done any Partners yet? I can't remember, but if not, Dargo + Jeska would be a good one.
