Zhulodok, Void Gorger | Upping the Average 

i liked the little animation of storing things in Colfenor's Urn. I'm very confident i would have understood how it worked without the animation, but it was a nice touch that explained how it worked visually as well. I paused the video to write this lol

Appreciate the speedy upload with my new favorite colourless commander

A challenge for this deck and other colorless decks, arcane signet doesn’t work because your commander doesn’t have a color identity

Wondrous Crucible is a total powerhouse that makes interaction frustrating. Splendid include

This offered great insight. Always appreciate your takes! A video on Gandalf the White where you stray the deck from the norm would be a neat one to see.

Love this series! Can you make an episode for either Satoru Umezawa or The Mimeoplasm?

Really hope there is a Gravemother video coming. Love to hear your input. It's always hard to wade through the stats for new precons cause alot of people post the decks as is and it kills the stats.

Brainstone is such a good card in nonblue cascade decks, honestly that should be in the main list if you can find space

I've been running a Kozilek, the Great Disortion deck for a LONG TIME and had been debating on investing in the Eldrazi Pre-Con, or even the new singles in it for that matter. Thanks for this Upping the Average! I needed a better opinion on all of the options than just 'GET THE BIG BOIS~! SMASHY SMASH!!'

Void Gorger also sounds like a name for one of my exes. ;) thanks for reminding me about the infinite colorless tip. Totally should’ve remembered that, as a Kinnan player, but it’s going right into my own Kozi build.

I'm excited to build around the B-side commander, Omarthis. Though... I do appreciate this budget Zhulodok. Looks fun!

Awesome video i think it's funny you put in a lot of cards that are already in the precon. Just goes to show people make cuts or upgrades to things that might not be any better lol

For cheap card advatage, the recent Zenith Chronicler seems quite solid as well, and Introduction to Annihilation is staple colorless pinpoint removal (also the budget list link doesn't seem to be working)

Well of knowledge fits excellent in a big mana deck. Consider using it in budget builds

i pulled. Kozilek the Great Distortion on one of my packs and currently building a deck out of it 😊

There’s another way to build the deck in a way that allows Zhuldok to cascade a combo out deterministically by playing only the combo at less than 7 mana and the rest of it being lands and 7 mana spells. Painter’s Servant and Grindstone combo is the only I could think of that immediately is a threat and can get you to kill players off the table.

In my mind, Cityscape Leveler was still a $4 card 😮

Yeah I agree with you on the waste part as my zhulodok deck only has around 3 waste

Really clever budget list! Thoughts on Zenith Chronicler?

My main gripe with Zhulodok is that imoti can also helm this deck with land changes. Imoti IS the budget version of this, plays stronger cards like dig through time and treasure cruise and can play most of the same colorless haymakers plus those in simic

hello; will the other commander master precon get a video ? While slivoide have a lot of ressource I am struggling with superfriend and enchantment + gravyard. In any case great video as always

Edit: link to the budget list is broken :( Was really hoping you'd tackle this one, I've gotten the colorless bug since the precon was spoiled and I will be picking it up to start me off.

I worry wondrous crucible nonbos with shuffle eldrazi. I know it is in the budget section but I thought it might still be worth noting.

This deck is sweet! I hope the enchantress deck works well in my commander league (the only reason I bought a precon for 75 dollars 😭) 1st week we play in a pod unaltered, then we get to make 5 swaps each week for 5 weeks :) I’m excited to see how the league turns out. The overall winner gets any box booster of standard legal cards

Platinum angel and using one of the methods to make it indestructible 👌🏽

The precon is pretty fun. I found it for 70 dollars at a used game store and I had some credits left so I had to swoop it lol

More! 🎉

A land I run in my kozalik deck is witch’s clinic need some life cause of the on ring it’s got you

Can you make an Upping the Average for Sauron, the Dark Lord please!

What would you put this in the power scaling

For those of you just wanting to buy the precon itself and upgrading the biggest thing is getting the right creatures more than anything itself and then proper removal. Since there aren't that many instants and sorceries that are colorless your threat options rely on creatures more than anything else and your removal package is often built into those. Meteor Golem by example is normally a card that's terrible in most decks and same with Duplicant however they serve as optimal removal in these style of decks for how little options you have plus the golem gets you a cascade trigger too. Lastly is card draw and honestly if you can run all of the land draw effects since those are the most consistent. The precon comes with a few good options as is so start with that as a good metric and move on from there. I love how different of a style of deck Zhulodok provides and it serves as a replacement for big green stompy for how ridiculous turns can get. It's a fun deck when things work as intended.

FYI: budget list link is broken

Will you be streaming on Twitch again?

I'm still debating if I want to swap Kozilek for Zhulodok, but this definitely helps.

Kinda funny that a lot of the recommendations wound up being the original precon's contents

What’s your thoughts on planar atlas as a card in the 99? Is it worth swapping in?? I love the mana rock + looking at the top 4 cards for a land, with the hedrons of zendikar being in the art is such good flavor IMO

Any chance for an anikthea video?

34 lands? Am I crazy or is that super low?!

Petition to call comments that are made for the purposes of driving engagement "rings". Because you give a Ring for Engagement.

I pretty much already had a highly upgraded version of this deck, I just needed Zhulodok. Right now TCG says the value of the deck is almost $1000 lol.

So no wayfarers bauble?

How is Wondrous Crucible weird? How is it not already in the deck list? "All your permanents hace ward 2. Cascade, Cascade." Seems awesome even without the virtual card advantage that a single card cast from it nets you, let alone 3. That card is just bonkers in any huge stuff deck.

The real quesiton is, how do I up the average on my hairline?

One thing to note; any lands that rely on adding a color based on out commander will not add any mana to our mana pool, since colorless is not a color. So things like command tower are not good in this deck

I put a metalworker in my deck and it pays off

I actually disagree with cutting Scour From Existence and Spine of Ish Sah. While you're correct that they are expensive removal spells, they fact that they cost 7 means that they're also cascading thanks to our commander. So we're getting far more value out of them than just removal. And in a colorless deck, mana production is almost never a problem.

I ordered this deck for 85$ on amazon. Pre order price gareentee. They haven't shiped it yet.... which i sort of assumed they wouldnt tbh. It just says. We will enail you when we have an estimated date. F me i guess x3

If myriad landscape doesnt work then does burnished heart not work either?

I've run cards that either copy the commander or the effect like helm of the host or mirage mirror for more cascade triggers

Hey need make a deck kinnan bonder prodigy put the new eldrazi cards in there

Extraplanar lens could be cool here

The cascade triggers only happen on spells cast from your hand, so Wondrous Crucible doesn't trigger Zhulodok. Still a great card.

Run more wastes to turn on endless atlas which this deck needs since there isnt much early game draw. Drawing a card is better than alot of the utility lands you mentiond IMO. But i respect it

Honestly, i don't think it's the best idea to do these videos for new commanders. Of course the average deck is going to be a mess. Give it some time and revisit it, it makes so much better videos i think

Does it make sense to do this so early after release?

Good insight, but... Didn't you just recite half of the cards that were already included in the precon?

Can't use cavern

Yo can you fix your website you put ads on there now it sucks. I'm fine with you guys making money off of ads. The quality of your website shouldn't go down too

800$ for a deck!😮 idk how yall do it .. I cry every time i have to pay 5$ for a box of frosted flakes 😅
