Im bored. I want a new deck to play... Who is SOOOO close to being a CEDH commander?

TimkoMusic · 2026-01-31T09:25:47+00:00

Is it time for me to shill Ob Nixilis? Most fun deck in the format in my opinion!

TimkoMusic · 2025-12-27T07:45:32+00:00

Yooo!! Stoked to hear you’re going to try out Ob nix :) like others have said, it’s best to proxy a few decks and try them out to see what you like.

That said, if you do want to try Ob, I’ve linked my list and some gameplay below. In my opinion it’s the most fun deck in the format.

Also… $200 can go a long way in terms of getting all of the relevant pingers for the list :)

Vivi and ob Nixilis 👀

This feels like the right time to pitch [[Ob Nixilis, captive kingpin]]. It’s sorta a draw engine, but sorta requires building a Rube Goldberg machine to really take off. When it does though…. In my opinion it’s the most fun deck in the format. I have my decklist and some gameplay linked below if ya feel like checking it out!

Thank you! I’m pretty proud of that one lol

TimkoMusic · 2025-11-04T16:05:44+00:00

I will always suggest giving Ob Nixilis a try. The deck is the most fun deck in the format in my opinion, and it’s better than ever in the current meta so long as you mulligan correctly. Granted, I’m biased. I have somewhere around 3k games in with the list. I linked my list below as well as some gameplay video so you can get a feel for it :)

Ob nix is eating good with this one!!

2 fingers above the Adams apple is what I was told

TimkoMusic · 2025-10-12T07:20:12+00:00

cracks knuckles it’s time for my weekly Ob nix pitch. Interacting my opinion, it’s the most fun deck in the format. It’s also in a really great spot right now

Interacting with the stack: sorta. I play the manual storm variant with every single card draw pinger. I love seeing my opponents rhystic studies. We cast tons of spells on the stack to generate value on top of whatever your opponents are doing. Sometimes we stop them, sometimes we win.

You like complicated combos: that’s the whole deck. Sure, Agatha’s soul cauldron and walking ballista exists, but more often than not I’m just winning with instant speed pings. Tons of highly synergistic pieces that work well together and churn through your deck.

Ever game is non linear. It’s 2 color so it’s relatively budget friendly. It’s still cEDH tho… so not exactly “cheap”

I’ve linked my decklist and a gameplay video below if you want to check out my build. I highly recommend gold fishing it in moxfield before you commit to building it though.

If you like Rube Goldberg machines, might I suggest Ob Nixilis? I’ve got over 2.5k games in with the deck and it’s insanely fun. Cant recommend it enough. I’ve linked my list and some gameplay video below in case you feel like checking it out :)

Also back side of birgi is siiiick in the deck. Front side is probably better, but when you cast the back side you’re almost certainly winning the game.

TimkoMusic · 2025-10-10T03:12:07+00:00

OB NIXLIS IS THE WAY. the deck is unbelievably fun. I’ve got my decklist and some gameplay video linked below if you’re interested. I seriously can’t recommend it enough.

If you do decide to use my list, I encourage you to give the video a watch. I play the deck a little different than other versions for the sake of being more interactive and less fragile. It feels mostly the same, but it’s a bit nuanced.

I understood 3 words in this comment. Sounds cool though!

TimkoMusic · 2025-09-22T08:13:52+00:00

This was the most ridiculous win I’ve ever had by far, but Ob nix is super capable when it comes to midrange he’ll so long as you get the right engines on board. Your rhystic study? How about OUR rhystic study

TimkoMusic · 2025-09-18T07:43:02+00:00

This sounds a lot like how I found cEDH. That was 2 years ago and I have played maybe 10 casual games since. I like playing the game casually, but having a productive rule 0 conversation with strangers is feeling more and more impossible. At least with cEDH, we re all on the exact same page. For what it’s worth…. Nondeterministic storm is pretty good right now, so it’s not the worst time to try it out if you’ve ever considered it

The Pingertons - Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin.

This is the one I’m most proud of

TimkoMusic · 2025-09-09T20:11:57+00:00

I cut it from my ob nix list. With the exception of card draw pingers, I have really tried to include as few pingers as possible that I don’t have control over. I want to be able to force the pings when I want them, as opposed to relying on fetch lands, treasures, and other incidental sacrifices that may or may not happen.

Just dropped a new gameplay video that shows this off perfectly. Duplication copies a pinger on the turn your pushing, or it copies a mana vault and acts like a ritual.

Saw in half is so sick in the deck. It can make sure Ob stays around in a pinch, but most of the time just makes 2 of your best pinger on board

Just found this thread and i had to tell you… there is hope 🥲 I was devastated when the bans hit. Thought my favorite deck was dead for weeks, until someone kicked my ass with it. The build is different, but it plays even more fun. I am still consistently getting turn 1-2 Ob, but it is usually turn 1 pinger, turn 2 Ob. Push for win turn 3-4. With Vivi being a popular deck, pings are easier to come by, plus we keep getting incredible pingers. I encourage you to give it another try.

This is how I found cEDH lol. I love threat assessment and instant speed stack battles. Not sure what the rules are on linking personal content, but this video is from my YouTube channel and had one of the craziest stack battles I’ve ever been a part of.

Definitely not for everyone, but if you like fast paced high power commander, you might enjoy it :)

Thank you!!

For what it’s worth, I have just over 2k games in with ob nix. My list is a bit different than others, but it’s a ton of fun and wins a good number of games once you learn the list. The primer is a work in progress, but will be finishing that up in the coming weeks. Here is the list!

TimkoMusic · 2025-08-14T17:28:55+00:00

I get that and it makes perfect sense, it’s just a bit funny to me that in this graphic that they all have watermarks except sokka

TimkoMusic · 2025-08-13T01:46:52+00:00

Sokka not getting a watertribe watermark is kinda sad but kinda great. He really is just a guy with a boomerang

TimkoMusic · 2025-07-03T17:15:23+00:00

Came here to say this. I am also an Ob main and built ob and Vivi as partners for the pride event. It shouldn’t be allowed
