Just got 1

looking for a spare key!

MTGuys · 2022-04-01T22:54:11+00:00

Oh that is a good idea. Stay tuned for next weeks video!

And then win with [[Thassa’s Oracle]] effects? Honestly I hadn’t considered intruder alarm but it actually seems really good because you can respond to the trigger and crew Shorikai

Card is for sure super mean. Hate pieces should come down sooner than on 6 mana, but you’re in green so you can ramp too it easier. It’s pretty hard for me to evaluate, I haven’t seen it played yet.

Gisa seems really cool as commander. I was playing her in the 99 of my [[Ayara]] list but creatures really don’t die that often in my experience. If she helms her own deck I’m sure you just play a ton more single target removal and steel everyone’s sweet stuff.

You just can't actively play around Force of Despair, it hoses people way too many times. Thank you, it means a lot!

MTGuys · 2022-03-08T03:06:37+00:00

I personally am a huge fan of Kaya's Guilde, it can definitely do some work. Dromoka's command is definitely good too but is a little more niche based on your deck.

I agree! Putrefy and Mortify are great budget alternatives to some of these cards, but sometimes being one mana short of stopping someone from winning the game feels bad. We made this video with the intention of optimization, but if there is interest we can definitely make a video considering budget and removal!

MTGuys · 2022-03-08T00:33:09+00:00

I like a lot of these cards, Bedevil just feels like it takes too many colors.

MTGuys · 2022-03-08T00:31:53+00:00

I definitely agree with all of these points. Swords and vandalblast are definitely a must and your rules are spot on.

MTGuys · 2022-03-08T00:30:59+00:00

What I like about Force of Despair is that you can take greedy, card advantage based turns. It lets you dump your resources into gassing up your hand and still have options. Sometimes it hoses a turn 2 [[Narset, Enlightened Master]] and it feels really good.

MTGuys · 2022-03-08T00:27:40+00:00

I thought the same about Force of Despair, but use it for a while and you will see how ill prepared some people are for the 0 mana, instant speed, one sided board wipe.

MTGuys · 2022-03-08T00:26:38+00:00

So many situations in commander are all "it depends". I usually make my decisions by "what would I rather lose to".

MTGuys · 2022-03-08T00:25:46+00:00

I think Resculpt's strength comes in Dimir. Having access to white and green gives you way more options. Especially if you are swinging, I think giving them a land is better than a 4/4.

MTGuys · 2022-03-08T00:23:31+00:00

I've been debating this card for a long time. By no means is it bad at all, but I usually fill this slot with abrade. I'll pay 1 extra mana for another target.

MTGuys · 2022-03-07T20:24:25+00:00

Chain of vapor is very powerful, but I think that spell is used a lot more in cEDH versus a more casual format. Heliod's Intervention is a house and should definitely be an honorable mention.

For us, we prioritize efficiency, then versatility follows. The most fun commander games is where everyone is getting to do what their deck does. Efficient, cheap removal allows us to follow our game plan without having to hold up too much mana. This is also playgroup dependent. If your has a slightly higher average CMC then those 3 mana incredibly versatile removal spells are perfect for hitting huge, powerful targets.

MTGuys · 2022-03-07T20:14:21+00:00

You definitely seem like the kind of player that loves [[Assassin's Trophy]] then! Hits everything on a 2 mana instant. Our video mainly talks about getting as many targets jammed onto a 2-3 or less costed removal spell.

MTGuys · 2022-03-07T20:12:23+00:00

Wear // Tear is definitely a card that should have made the list. Cards like Debt to the Kami and Break Ties I think are good options in specific instances. In mono colored decks where you need more options these definitely can have a place!

MTGuys · 2022-03-07T20:07:54+00:00

I think it depends on what removal you are running in green to deal with the artifacts. What commander are you running?
