It sure is \m/

I think the blink Niko isnt too strong. If you are thinking of making a blink denk I would prefer Brago or Yorion or Abdel. Don't forget to put enough wincons in it!

Thanks man! Unfortunately the mic spiked the first 30 minutes making for a robot'ish sound. We are saving up for lavaliers as well :)

Great card! Annihilator 1 is still fun

You won't get the second draw 2 as unfortunately it's a cast trigger and not an ETB, still a good include however

@@benashley4837 I dont care about the card draw. If I have 8 nulldrifters on the field, forcing an opponent to sacrifice 8 permanents can often cripple them so much that they wont be able to recover. The amount of tempo loss from that interaction and to do that every turn is substantial.

@@benashley4837 Oh but you're right I was a little wrong on the initial comment. I foudn out after reading thec card a little closer. * but ya it is a cast trigger. I care more about the annihalator on it though

@@verzen I made the same mistake when I Included it in my list, a Reddit user told me about my mistake, however I've not cut it because of the benefit you've just said

I love that one 😁

My pleasure! Posted in the description

It was true commander game yes 😅

Didn't know that! Thanks for explaining :)

Oh snap, yea you're absolutely right. Guess Willem got away with it this time!

English is obviously not my native language and had to look up what sharting is. This would make for some interesting tokens 😂

I was surprised I didn’t see more creatures with ETB abilities in the Niko deck

Good one! A couple of battles could do. Are there any others you would like to add?

@@TipsyGoat Invasion of Innistrad though a bit expensive provides graveyard hate and bodies and can take out an Ulamog or Emrakul. Invasion of Zendikar is decent ramp Invasion of Ergamon also is worth a look as some early card filtering (which will let you pitch a tricky card type) and a treasure to turn 3 your commander . The backside also lets you tutor for another battle or land at the cost of another discarded card which will let you go grab your Enhantment/Artifact land or Dryad Arbor

I was thinking of Invasion of Eldraine too but it only makes ONE opponent discard. The backside is decent though as another ping effect when you get everyone hellbent

Yea not the most loved card haha. You can easily cut Tergrid though, and just win with the pingers. In my own playgroup, depending on the powerlevels that are being played, I can just sideboard Tergrid and put in anything like a Osseous Sticktwister or Psychosis Crawler. Even like that the deck is still alot of fun and very powerfull.

Red/Black Valgavoth

Hehe na they get to draw 2 additional cards so they will be hitting their land drops and probably get to use their cards.

This isn't nearly as oppressive or boring as stacks decks. They also still get their draw step and access to their commanders and any other draw effects they have otherwise. You're just limiting their options and punishing card draw but not 100% locking them out

U even read the first ability? It basically allows them to draw out their removal + combos + literally any of their best cards due to drawing 3 per rotation + etc. etc. + making you target #1 because you're effectively trying to burn them and effectively trying to prevent them from efficiently running their decks. I'm sure it doesn't take more than half a braincell for anybody to understand what drawing 3 cards come your turn can conjure up between 3 different players.

@@ereh6707 So only if you happen to draw your removal do you get to keep your cards and play. F that. Plus most higher power decks hardly run any removal. This commander blows.

​@@nfboogaard you are the kind of people i would like to use this commander with

We are glad you are enjoying our content! Thank you for these kind words, it really helps us to keep pushing :)

Very true! I love that card. The thing is I would rather have the cards that prevent all combat damage dealt to your creatures.

Playing Rakdos is like being that maniac movie character that has no back up plan. That's the way I built it 😁. We are going to burn everything

i don't think i should criticise too much, since i'm working om making a grixis deck, where the plan is that i may or may not kill myself with Phage

This sounds amazing! Who do you run as a commander?

i don't know yet. (maybe you could use Obeka, in case you don't want to die, for once) and maybe it don't matter. i was thinking of just trying to tutor for Phage and cheat it or from the grave or exile so you die. and then maybe also have some things in there so you don't die, just in case you feel like trying to win, like using stifle on it

You are right ofcourse. But the challenge is half the fun. And the constant threat on the other players at the table if you are getting close to 9 mana is a fun thing. But yeah in a deck where you can cheat big stuff he will probably be best

Bro what? Black doesn’t have ramp? Crypt gast, dark ritual, bubbling muck, magus of the coffers, cabal coffers, cabal stronghold, culling the weak, cabal ritual.

@@wolfsajin That's a few cards. Black isn't known for ramp, green is. Every color has a FEW cards that the other colors produce. Every color has a counterspell but blue has the most as to where the others have a few. Green has the most ramp while the others have a few cards for ramp.

@@almondmilk5315 yes, you aren’t wrong. black may not be known for ramp. But it still has it. I listed 8 cards there which is plenty, especially considering you’re likely running K’rrik which is just reducing the amount of mana you’re playing. There are ways around the lack of “ramp”. plus it’s not like you need more than 10 pieces of ramp. You have cost reducers as well that more often than not, are colorless. So that helps too.

Black has amazing ramp. Check out the older cards

From all the cards I cut, I never thought Sign In Blood would be an issue :) It's a decent card, ofcourse, but I think we should be fine on card draw with Valgavoth on the battlefield. What card would you have cut, instead of Sign In Blood? - Mike

​@@TipsyGoatgreat response. Valgavoth will draw enough with his ability. I'd say the joker is the one that needs to name call people about a card game.

Could definitely go in! It's up to personal preference. Personally I don't put it in because I don't want to keep mana open before combat every turn to have to recast it from exile in case someone blocks. I'd much rather play another creature so she does more damage!

No, only the combat damage

You're absolutely right. Only combat damage counts towards commander damage. Otherwise it would be a little bit on the overpowered side ^^

Fair point. How many pieces of haste enablers would you play?

Yeah! Very nice calls :) Didn't think of these two cards at all since they typically don't really go in an aggro deck, but here they should work quite well! They can also be used to protect Arabella from single target removal spells! What cards would you cut?

@TipsyGoat not sure honestly. I just like that they can easily played in setup turns.

@@moderneaux this sounds horrible... For the rest of your table :)

This is a close one IMO due to the fact that I feel Tocasia' s Welcome will trigger a little bit more consistently and whenever we just cast our creatures instead of having to wait for some of the creatures to attack etc. to trigger their attacking ability to create tokens. But yeah, could definetely see these 2 swapped. Too bad the 3rd level of caretaker's talent makes our commander useless so not a huge fan of that.

You' re right! Well caught. That is insanely good indeed :)

Any card that the opponent controls would go to the grave will be exiled instead. So yeah, only battlefield

Valgavoth exiles your opponents' cards sent from anywhere, except from your control. Milling/discarding your opponents' stuff will get exiled and become an option for you to cast it with its final ability. However, if you do cast one their permanents and that permanent gets destroyed, it'll just go to their graveyard and not exiled due to it being under your control. I also think that casting an instant/sorcery from their exile will also send it to their graveyard instead of exile, since you "controled" that spell, though that part I'm not entirely sure. I feel it's worded this strange way to keep you from being able to indefinitely cast the same card over and over again.

Cards that are in a Library or hand are not under anyone’s control

The wording is a little confusing because they did not want you to be able to cast your opponent's stuff over and over. If they worded it like "whenever a card would be put into your opponents graveyard..." then you could play an instant/sorcery, it would go to their graveyard and it would be exiled again, so you can play it again. You can definitely make you opponens mill or discard and then play their cards with Valgavoth. A card that is put directly from an opponent's library into their graveyard is still considered to be "controlled" by that opponent. Even though the card wasn't cast or actively played from their hand or battlefield, they still "own" and "control" the card while it's in their library.

I thought of a similar deck

@@hunteroverstreetnox nice

Fair point! I built him pretty early on and hadn't thought of K'rrik. Definitely a must

When I was building him I did the exact same and forgot krrik! It was such a face palm moment when I remembered lol

Hehe this one is definitely more challenging to pilot than Tegrid

Forgot to mention that, that is definitely awesome!

Damn so if you make your shards token copies of nesting dovehawk itself before combat then at the beginning of combat you get to make 2 more copies of nesting dovehawk that you get to keep.

Thanks! Wij vonden het erg tof om erbij te mogen zijn

Umbris

What was your favorite commander? 😁 Just added the right link!

Awesome! There is a lot to choose from 😁. Maybe look at the cards you have laying around? Making a deck with the cards I already have, for me that is the best feeling.

@@TipsyGoat I don't really have useful cards laying around but I can try, I just don't know if I should do a landfall deck, since I love the mechanic. Or lean more into the random aspect of the effect and go for a storm/flashback build

That's pretty cool! Sounds like a consistent way to have board presence and still do a lot of shenanigans.
