Holy crap that comment made me realize I unintentionally followed that rule as well. I was thinking "Strefan? Oh, still has Vampiric Dragon. Millicent? Right, Ao. Prosper! Oh, duh, Goldspan, and Atsushi... Chatterfang doesn't, wait, Old Gnawbone..." Don't even get me started on Atla Palani, lol!
I think this deck should alter Field of the Dead as Field of Elysium. Create a 2/2 doggo spirit whenever the land etb's. Basically, each land is more space for Sampson and the doggos to run free and happy in the afterlife.
My favorite deck is my yarok deck. Its not a lands focused deck, just etb goodness, but it's fun to play. It's also about 10 cards away from being 100% foiled out.
Before life caught me lacking, I was the same way. I was super close to fully foiling out my Yarok landfall deck, which I sold for close to $1,500 to catch back up in life.
The reason Deadly Rollick isn't in more decks is because its $32. I'm fine with paying $30 or more for a card every now and then, but when it comes to removal spells I almost never feel like spending a lot, since there are always good budget replacements. I am much more willing to spend a lot of money on expensive cards that are proactive rather than reactive, and cards that don't have good budget replacements for high power decks, like the Phyrexian Praetors, Eldrazi Titans, or Urborg/Cabal Coffers, Urza's Saga, Fetchlands, Vampiric and Demonic Tutor, etc. This is just the way I feel about, but I bet some other people feel similarly. And just imagine what would happen to the price of Deadly Rollick and the other cards from that cycle if every edh player decided they needed those cards for every deck.
My yarok deck used deadeye navigator with God eternal rhonas, so I could get a ton of power doubling effects. It has been taken apart for a few months now, but it has legitimately won games swinging for 16 million to 27 million damage with just a few creatures. 😆
Fun fact if you combine the eldrazi processors and gingerbrute, a food creature you can have a food processor creature! also love the commander tune ups keep up the great work!!!!
For the board wipes Meathook is definitely the best one you can fit into yarok, since the -x/-x trigger gets doubled by yarok, and personally i think massacre wurm is the second best for the same reason
I would cut Life from the Loam in favor of either Splendid Reclamation or World Shaper, probably Reclamation, as you don't have sac outlets. Reclamation is pretty good even when it just gets you two fetches back, because you get more landfall triggers. Also, Mirage Mirror can copy Field of the Dead for a turn. I would also try to crowbar Cream of the Crop and Concordant Crossroads in there somehow. If you go nuts with zombie tokens, say you get like 40 of them, Cream of the Crop will allow you to effectively look at the top 41 cards of your library and put one of them on top (with Yarok in play, you get to see 81 cards). If you have any card draw triggers, or just a Wall of Blossoms in hand, you can force Crossroads to the top of your library with the Cream, then draw it and play it, giving your zombies haste. :). I also like the black "get anything" tutor creatures, like Sidisi, Undead Vizier and Rune-Scarred Demon. I also like Eldritch Evolution. Lastly, there's a tri-color land that you left out, named Opulent Palace, that taps for your colors.
Omg, you guys know Mighty???? Aaaaaaaahhhh! Wasn't it terrible when the store by RIT shut down? Also, where do you get your wings...? (Awesome deck tech, I might actually brew this on my own following your list)
This is one of the coolest decks I’ve ever seen you guys upgrade. I was wondering what is your take on the meathook massacre is now, and thank you for saying it over costed. I think it has that “coolest card ever” tax stapled onto it. Like our boy, GT
Its price mostly comes from the fact that commander and standard players are competing to get them. More demand -> higher price. It is a shame but nothing we can do until it rotates out or ceases to see play.
Its way too expensive for an effect like that, especially in black. Best to wait until it goes down in price because for now it definitely isn’t a card worth picking up imo
LOL Why have I never considered cloning my Field of Dead in my land matters Korvold deck that uses Dark Depths+ Thespian Stage OR added Vesuva to the deck #Eureka Put Deadly Rollick in every Black deck, I feel you, I do that with Demonic Tutor :P
Idk if it's really you're thing and I know you've done some videos in the past but I'd be really interested to see a deck tech of something you guys personally run.
I've racked my brain up and down trying to think of how to improve this deck. I think they made it perfect. I might put spark double ust because I think it is really fun to double up on that trigger again.
Made a similar deck to this and had scapeshift for comboing into a huge amount of zombies and killing players with dread presence. Might just copy this and replace the dragon with the gitrog monster.
Another great card for this deck is Replication Technique. 5 mana, make two token copies of any permanent, have both target your FOTD, now you have like 5 of them all at the same time.
Couple adds I very much expect they'll enjoy. Ashes to Ashes is great removal. Even w/o being able to hit artifact creatures AND sorcery speed... exile 2 creatures for 1BB and you take 5 dmg is NUTS. Polluted Bonds. Any opponent has a land enter they'll lose 2 life and you'll gain 2. Since you control the Polluted Bonds Yarok WILL double this to they lose 4 and you gain 4 every time they put a land down^^
Id recommend boundless realms instead of reshape the earth. Cheaper and for a landfall deck your maximizing triggers, deck thinning, and gaining mana access. Reshape isn't bad but I feel you get more bang for your buck. its also 3 bucks at this moment.
I'm gonna make this deck but switch out all the removal. Efficient removal is broken to me and my playgroup. Destroying a 6 drop for 0 is not fun for us. Boardwipes are even worse, they just stop the game. It literally just moves the game back by 5 turns. Fun deck, I'm gonna put less removal in.
Yarok + Field of the Dead = 2 zombies and deathtouch? Hmm sounds an awful lot like a giant I know...
Yarok + Ancient greenwarden + field of the dead + thespian's stage + vesuva makes 9 zombies per land. 18 per fetchland!
Smack a Doubling Season and a Parellel Lives just for fun and make it 72
I love the “every deck must contain a dragon” rule
You get extra style points if you win with the dragon too 😎
Holy crap that comment made me realize I unintentionally followed that rule as well. I was thinking "Strefan? Oh, still has Vampiric Dragon. Millicent? Right, Ao. Prosper! Oh, duh, Goldspan, and Atsushi... Chatterfang doesn't, wait, Old Gnawbone..." Don't even get me started on Atla Palani, lol!
I wanna play in this guy's playgroup. Sounds like a really fun time.
Love the deck tech, and can truly appreciate the moment of silence at the beginning; very well done vid today

Deadly Rollick is not in more decks because it's $30 nowadays. At the beginning of 2021, it was a $15 card. By the end, it jumped up 2x.
Interestingly, 120 power is exactly what you need to kill 3 players lol
My yarok deck used deadeye navigator with God eternal rhonas, so I could get a ton of power doubling effects. It has been taken apart for a few months now, but it has legitimately won games swinging for 16 million to 27 million damage with just a few creatures. 😆
What a delicious gourmet bagel, exactly what I was looking for this morning!
Fun fact if you combine the eldrazi processors and gingerbrute, a food creature you can have a food processor creature! also love the commander tune ups keep up the great work!!!!
Hey fishlamp sorry about your puppy, losing a dog is some of the saddest shit you can go through.
For the board wipes Meathook is definitely the best one you can fit into yarok, since the -x/-x trigger gets doubled by yarok, and personally i think massacre wurm is the second best for the same reason
Shout-out to me! My birthday was on Feb 20th and Yarok is my favorite commander, such a nice coincidence
My mom is from Buffalo and she always talks about how much she misses Mighty Taco
i have a very similar deck to this, but with gahiji as the commander. love the deck tech!
Always compliment the Iron buffalo shirts Joe, loking good.
I love Yarok! my favorite combo win in mine is Sultai ultimatum into combo

omg i came for a deck tech and burst into tears. RIP sampson
Lotus cobra//tireless provisioner is so great lol
Overkill almost
1 fetch = wooooah!!
Omg, you guys know Mighty???? Aaaaaaaahhhh! Wasn't it terrible when the store by RIT shut down?
Also, where do you get your wings...?
(Awesome deck tech, I might actually brew this on my own following your list)
I just had to bury my dog last week, poor little guy ran off the leash and got hit by a car, so that intro hit me a little harder than it should’ve
My birthday was yesterday, when this video was released!
I don’t think the Combo with Simic Growth Chamber works because it also has an etb that gets doubled by Yarok. Nevertheless, loved the video!
This is one of the coolest decks I’ve ever seen you guys upgrade. I was wondering what is your take on the meathook massacre is now, and thank you for saying it over costed. I think it has that “coolest card ever” tax stapled onto it. Like our boy, GT

Would you play hour or reckoning in a deck like this as a finisher to swing through? I know it can’t go in yarok but I’m wondering for my omnath deck
The most underrated card for Yarok is easily Faerie Artisans. If you have Yarok in play, for every ETB your opponents get, you get FOUR of them
Shoutout to the homie Samson, all dogs go to heaven
LOL Why have I never considered cloning my Field of Dead in my land matters Korvold deck that uses Dark Depths+ Thespian Stage OR added Vesuva to the deck #Eureka
Put Deadly Rollick in every Black deck, I feel you, I do that with Demonic Tutor :P
Idk if it's really you're thing and I know you've done some videos in the past but I'd be really interested to see a deck tech of something you guys personally run.
RIP Sampson, looked like the goodest boy.
He really was.
I've racked my brain up and down trying to think of how to improve this deck. I think they made it perfect.
I might put spark double ust because I think it is really fun to double up on that trigger again.
Just go ham as hell with the triggers!!!
NEW NITPICKING NERDS VIDEO!
I like Deadly Rolick, but I don't have it in any of my black decks, because I want creatures either end up in a graveyard, or get the death trigger
Using some of this info for my Beledros deck. :)
Made a similar deck to this and had scapeshift for comboing into a huge amount of zombies and killing players with dread presence. Might just copy this and replace the dragon with the gitrog monster.
My friend made this deck months ago. We decided as a play group that Field of the Dead was a kill on sight card whenever he played it
And people get annoyed about Land Destruction LOL :P
@@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299 people get annoyed by mass land destruction, i dont think a lot of people are complaining about strip mine
Another great card for this deck is Replication Technique. 5 mana, make two token copies of any permanent, have both target your FOTD, now you have like 5 of them all at the same time.
Woah. With 5x field of the dead + yarok + ancient greenwarden each land is making 15 zombies! Bonkers! Fetches double that!!!
@@Fishlampclock if we wanna take it as far as possible, add adrix and nev, parallel lives, doubling season, suddenly one land makes 120 zombies lol
Love this deck. No Ashaya?
The best part of that particular art for Stripmine is that it's only $20 right now. Same with Wasteland
Couple adds I very much expect they'll enjoy.
Ashes to Ashes is great removal. Even w/o being able to hit artifact creatures AND sorcery speed... exile 2 creatures for 1BB and you take 5 dmg is NUTS.
Polluted Bonds. Any opponent has a land enter they'll lose 2 life and you'll gain 2. Since you control the Polluted Bonds Yarok WILL double this to they lose 4 and you gain 4 every time they put a land down^^
Would Ayara, first of lochtwain be good in here?
Not calling this "Yarok Field of the Dead Tech" was a missed opportunity, shame guys, shame! 😂
man i really want to get that iron buffalo shirt
Soon its going to be my birthday and im really exited about my video
Ashaya, soul of the elements turns every creature you play into a landfall trigger. Every creature would trigger field of the dead
Id recommend boundless realms instead of reshape the earth. Cheaper and for a landfall deck your maximizing triggers, deck thinning, and gaining mana access. Reshape isn't bad but I feel you get more bang for your buck. its also 3 bucks at this moment.
I like boundless realms but it only gets basics
@@NitpickingNerds you have a great point there I over looked that lol.
Cutting Mulldrifter hella sus. It's a 3 mana draw 4 because you evoke it.
My time has come! Today is my birthdau XD
This Deck screams Scute swarm
Luvya Joe!
How do I find the mtg story like is it online or a book?
I'm gonna make this deck but switch out all the removal. Efficient removal is broken to me and my playgroup. Destroying a 6 drop for 0 is not fun for us. Boardwipes are even worse, they just stop the game. It literally just moves the game back by 5 turns.
Fun deck, I'm gonna put less removal in.
Can y'all do a grenzo, dungeon warden deck tech plzzzz :)
Love the vids as well guys, keep it up :))
I'm not saying yarok fie.d of the dead isn't strong... but yarok can be so much better if you focus on things other than the field of the dead
Huge fan of the new format, don't a direct cut for replacement.
You shoulda asked me lol. I know all the Yarok secret tech. Dance of Many my guy it’s busted.
Kodama!!!!!!!! \(^o^)/
47th!
FIRST???
