Which Commander Precons are Worth Buying NOW? 

Junk tokens are super nice!

I cannot agree with this sentiment more. I started with Mono-Red Goblins and had so much fun with our boy Krenko, Mob Boss that I just couldn't stop doubling them.

It's not just easier but it makes players have to consider a lot more magic aspects when playing commander: While tribal cards are often a boon for new players, they can also be a crutch: once you're used to just creature synergies you do not have to look as much as things like mana costs and henceforth you don't have to look as much at the mana curve and the mana base. I would argue that the same inherent acceleration having a strong tribe deck makes players that would go from new to experience to not get used to run proper levels of interaction. That's why I'd like to see more harder-to-run (So to speak) tactics on precons like spell slinging or control: that way the transition from casual playing to more high powered or even competitive EDH woudln't be as pronounced once you don't have the benefit of tribal payoffs and have to look at actually searching for cards that overall more playable instead of the usual 'This is expensive but it works cause of tribal synergy'

Tribal decks are generally weaker because if you stick to the theme you’re not always using the best cards, but the thematic ones.

tribal anthems go sooo hard. slam an enchantment/creature onto the field and *bam* lethal damage

Which one? lol

@@NitpickingNerds The one you guys recommended and if you want Wilhelt just buy him as a single and run him as the commander instead

That is a good one. Very strong out of the box and fun to play!

i hope you like math lol

That thing out of the box is so strong!!!

I think its almost one of the best precons. It has consistent and big card draw. Solid ramp with the commander and gives a ton of stats with so much opportunities to swing with unblockable creatures. The most powerful combo in the deck is deeproot waters with Reflections of Littjara.

The deck is great for the price tag, especially if you throw a few bucks into upgrading it!

They can do that with certain special printings but generally not for any basic lands coming out of booster packs

I don’t think moxfield takes the price of basic lands into account, when doing my recent 100 dollar budget deck I removed all the basics because it was saying they were worth 35 cents a piece and I didn’t want to count those towards the price but the total deck price stat stayed the same afterwards

@@NitpickingNerds Verified and stand corrected. Thanks for noticing that. I aw the "$8.75 listing for the 25 basics in the Vampiric Bloodline precon, but at the top in the category of lands, it lists $6.76 for the value of that category, which suggests it's omitting the value of basic lands (though it still counts everything else at a minimum of $0.35, as @canaantravis has noted.)

Which one is dat

@@user-qw3oh3dx1o why, the one that includes 40 copies of Grave Titan, of course!

It also combos quite nicely with Pyretic Charge as a wincon in non-infinite versions of Stella. Windfall into Pyretic Charge often boosts your team by +9 or +10 power or more

And do you know why you lost? Because you just gave your opponents 33 cards three times The card is so bad if you're not abusing it

Really cool precons, but they are expensive, harder to play and will make you get targeted.

Only one that hasn't worked for me is the Science! Deck

Anywhere but your hand lol

I think this whole precon is SUPER underappreciated

The dino deck is pretty good too, I've won a few games without upgrading a single card yet

Dont know if you have tried the Hail Caesar deck yet, but Trynn/Silvar are a shoe in for that deck and from your comment it seems right up your alley.

The same is true for the dragon precon with atarka, and others like the dinosaur or merfolk one. I think it's because some precons are harder to get or too expensive. So they give precons that are playable and cheap

i upgraded it with 60$ worth of cards and its absolutely insane. I recommend calix as a commander this way you either copy all your strong enchantments or you copy enchantments that exile your enemys cards and control the whole board.

Love that precon but was surprised how expensive it was!

@@NitpickingNerds ​ I love it too, even if there is some wierd cards in it, it does make profit. PS. Also Check out Draconic rage, it has some expensive cards like Klauth, kindred summons, Maddening hex, dragonborn Champion and Druid of Purification.

You can try it with saruman as a commander instead of sauron, worked much better for me

For what it’s worth, the two precons you got are also great! They’re just on the more expensive side, so we left them off

@@NitpickingNerds Appreciate the feedback, thank you! I'm scouring your vids now for better intel before I impulse buy another deck

That will teach them

I'm VERY excited ❤️🖤

Yup

60 seconds to spare

Yess
