The First Sliver is an AMAZING Commander which enables a Food chain / Squee the Immortal infinite colored creature mana loop. This enables you to Cascade out your entire deck and win. You can also play powerful cards from every color.
I'm happy to see Niv Mizzet in here, I made a deck with him as a commander and while it took me several, and I mean Several, hours to make it, it is a pride and joy of mine and probably my favorite one I have ever made.
I love Yawgmoth and Elsha. For the former oh sure, it doesn't do a turn 3 or 4 win, but it plays like how I want it too. A nice long game where the longer it goes and if the engine gets running it's so fun to play. Not to mention, if I get eliminated. I wear that defeat as a badge of how nasty the deck can be. Elsha I'm still tinkering with and at first was going sorcery and instant, before taking into an artifact twist.
One of my Favorite Commander Cards from 2019 is Chainer, Nightmare Adept. I love this whole aggressive, reanimate strategy, which plays so much different to my Meren Deck :) I just need to put in some more Wheel Effects and targeted Reanimates and it's gonna be even more fun to play XD
I have built similar. If I get to about 7 or 8 gates, people just try to wail on me. Because of this, I had to put 3 or 4 fog cards in the deck to help keep my health total up 😂
Yarok should be ranked higher as he combined landfall and ETB cards into 1 deck. That alone is crazy and I have not seen any other commander that can do that without the assistance of another creature, artifact, or enchantment.
K'rrik is just so stupid powerful & fun. Like you said...it's just so perfectly "black". It's black at it's absolute height, and there are so many ways to build the deck. As long as you can keep him alive (which is definitely the toughest part of running him), there are just so many fun ways to win. Of my four EDH decks...he's my favorite to play (and not just because I win the most with him...although I do, haha)
I built one as well as soon as he was spoiled, the main themes are mill and sacrificing but the decks works without him being on the field he is just something that takes the deck from a 50 to 100 but he suffers like any other mono black commander, main thing being enchantments
@@z4drianz I'm really enjoying the combo potential and my main focus was combo so I have blood chief ascension, mindcrank. Ulamog and morality shift. Syr konrad does well with mindcrank himself and can end games
I have a Golos "Pilgrim of Cycles" deck based around Astral Slide, Astral Drift, Perplexing Chimera, and Golos himself. Cycle cards, exile Golos, get mana, cast stuff, drop Perplexing Chimera, let opponents cast spells, take them with the Chimera, cycle more cards, exile your Chimera, repeat, be an asshole... Also I got a Yarok in my first pack of his card cycle at my lgs' new location...I made a Sultai Energy deck, used deadlock trap and other energy cards to be a huge shitbag to my playgroup
I personally think Yarok should be higher up the list. Yeah, he focuses solely on ETB triggers but you can take that in a bunch of different directions. I personally have a Yarok deck that focuses more on landfall triggers than creature ETB triggers. The main complaint I have is that you're still trading some versatility for power, which isn't much considering the sheer amount of cards with ETB triggers. Plus I don't understand what you mean when you say "It's been done before" because this is the first time we're getting a commander that cares about ETB triggers themselves rather than creatures entering.
Yarok is so boring. No matter how people defend their deck, all they are saying is I'm doing this thing you've already seen a million times, but my commander doubles that thing. Yeah we get it, double, neat.
Also, on the vídeo, he only especifies that yarok as a Commander option is boring, while the title of the video Focus on the Power level of each Commander. You can notice that he only says that yarok is boring, disrespecting its versatility
@@usernameunidentified175 color identity is what is counted in commander colors. Sisay is a white creature and has a five color identity. Identity is what is used in commander. This is basic stuff
Design your decks to be fun and competitive. Fun should come first. You have some obscure, but interesting cards laying around, just throw them in to the deck you're building and see what happens.
Also, i built King Kenrith of the infected. Just a 5 color infect strategy, focused on his red ability to give your board haste. You can play with the worst infect creature, but theydouble as removal of sorts as well. And its resilient since Kenrith can keep reviving the infected creatures. Ita really disgusting, but surprisingly budget. You can skip purchasing all infect creatures that cost more than 2 bucks andita still formidable. Juat be ready to get focused hard, but oh my god its so fun!
Morophon sounds like a good sliver commander, it gives an amazing mana cost reduction to most of them. Or at least put him into deck if not as a commander. :')
Sp00n I play the first sliver commander with morophon, theirs a sliver that lets you tap a sliver, discard a card and tutor for any sliver. Grab morophon and win.
I think the point of Morophon is to be the tribal commander for tribes without a good commander, obviously he’s not supposed to be competing with Edgar Markov or The Ur-Dragon
This list looks so strange. You mentioned Niv food chain but not First Sliver? Hes actually better at it. Urza and kenrith so low on the list. And alela not being even remotely as strong as any other esper commanders like Zur
Pickle K'rik is such an explosive commander. I remember my eyes going wide when I saw the abilities. A mono-black Commander that I can finally get behind. Also, I really like my Kykar deck. Its basically secret commander: Feather and Locust God. Combat tricks, Token Producers, card draw and polymorph.
Kykar is fun, though, I run mine slightly differently - been running a "mid-sized spells" with some cost reduction and charging up for one big explosive turn, going with burn spells and copying them (taking advantage of the sacrifice-for-mana stuff). I need to pick up Sundering Stroke for the deck I've had a number of matches where I've just done Earthquake for x=10 and copy it 3 times
Vannifar kinda has this problem where when she untaps she wins the game because of some loop she creates. Also a lot her gameplay is very samey from what I've heard.
What about Emry? I thought she would've at least deserved an honorable mention. I see that you put Urza low because of some unfun interactions he has, and respect that (I'm an Urza fanboy). However, Emry creates a very unique play style for mono-blue (though she does still usually end up combo'ing out, it's often in a completely different way). Did you forget about her or did she just not make the top cut? I would like to hear your opinion on her regardless though if you read this comment!
Thats what I was thinking. The list doesn't seem to be entirely based on power because urza isnt very high but emry defenilty should have been on here if u ask me. Im in the process of making an emry deck because it can be pricy. But she definitely seems like a lot of fun.
She is really fun! I have an Emry deck built myself, as well as an Urza deck, and I can attest to how differently they play. It's actually very bizarre how you can play two decks, both built around artifacts and in mono-blue, and feel like you're playing in different colors because of how different the two are built (mostly how different Emry is built from regular artifacts). You can actually build a casual version of Emry for very cheap, aside from like a krark-clan Ironworks and/or Ashnod's altar (if you want to get it to like a 6 or 7 out of 10, you can still get her to like a 5 without those pretty easily though). Urza feels way more control oriented and Emry plays a bit more aggressive, due to her uncanny ability to recycle basically every card in your deck. Cards like wayfarer's bauble and burnished hard just get out of hand (neither of which are overly expensive), and cards like Secrets of the Dead and River Kelpie (which are also cheap) generate you far more advantage than cards like Rhystic Study would in Emry, as opposed to Urza, who pretty much needs the best and doesn't have super great replacements for them. Her best combo cards are Mirrodin Spy and Chakram Retriver, both of which are about a quarter, so you can definitely build a very powerful version of her as a budget-ish deck (probably like 100$ to get her to like a 7/10 would be my guess). Additionally, if you build her all-out, I believe she could hit top-tier competitive and compete with Urza for the spot as the best mono-blue commander. Don't get me wrong, I love Urza, he's still probably my favorite commander to play, but Emry should definitely have a say for being an advantage-based mono-blue commander as opposed to a control one. I got it! She feels like you're playing something like Gitrog with a bit less power, but she turns on WAY earlier into the game and has better win conditions (at least from my experience). Anyway, this reply got a bit out of hand, but if it helped explain why I think she might even be a better pick for top 20 than Urza (though he'll still get it because of his name, lol), then it's worth it.
@@robertbauerle5592 Thanks for the inspiration. The main thing preventing me from building both urza or emry was that high price tag. But emry seems to get around that.
Haha for me, the Commander printed this year has been Niv-Mizzet Reborn. He became my new favorite commander. I built him with a voltron strategy using the 2 color auras from Lorwyn and enchantresses. Soooo goood, I love him!
How is alela two and kykar 11!?!? They are nearly the same but with kykar being even more flexible with instead of buffing the flyers she can sac them for mana!? Plus kykar gets her tokens off any noncreature spell giving her even more flexibility. Them being this far apart doesn’t make sense to me.
Out of the two yawgmoth's I think father is much stronger than son. yawgmoth (father) allows for a much wider base for mono black. It is a draw engine, removal, discard, proliferate, life sink. With limited protection. It is just solid all around. yawgmoth (son) is a tamp/life sink. With limited life gain and evasion. Both are really good. However I feel Father has the advantage over son. Both can be combo decks and provide strong decks. I think when the back is agonist the wall though father is just more outs. At least for me this has been true. I used them both fairly heavily this year and I personally always go back to the father over the son. I used them both in aristocrat, tribal (zombie, vamps), infect, suicide, and good stuff strangles. The son I tended to gas out. the father I would be more constant. But that is my view.
Father is versatile and finds more homes in the 99 for sure, but turning all black pips into Phyrexian mana is completely absurd. Son is definitely stronger overall as a commander.
correction : Morph bypasses the stack, it is not an active effect, it just is something you do. i think its more difficult to USE than populate which is either you can do it or you cant, but morph is much like tapping a land - you can do it at any time, and it is not able to be prevented or acted upon when you do it. i dont think you are giving Omnath enough credit. lets put it this way : risen reef and Omanth Locus of rage in the same deck. if you have doubling season, you pretty much just win. especially if you make your lands creatures. Morphoron gives a head to decks that may not normally have a 5 color option. for instance, i plan on using morphoron as a 5 color Eldrazi tribal commander - to my knowledge, eldrazi are normally utterly colorless. its able to be put in as a commander in the place of more or less any tribal leader, and that also gives you any colors they were missing, while being able to make my cards, especially my multi-color ones, cheaper, sometimes full on zero. Kenrith looks dull to me. in my experience, if someone is going to build a group hug deck, they will do something that effects everyone equally, not doing so puts a target on your back, and i feel Morophon is easily a more useful commander. he just seems to easy to punish to me, for what he does, and he doesn't give a solid identity outside group hug, a deck style i generally dislike. Throne of eldraine was rediculous full stop - Oko, Questing Beast. i rest my case. Boros : Firesong and Sunspeaker. the colors have plenty of big cards you can sling around. i have never BUILT boros because i tend to put green in any deck i have red in (so i built naya) but i don't think this was the FIRST valid boros commander option. Aurelia the warleader is a fun one, though its stronger as one of the 99 in naya. i just don't care for feather at all. Niv Mizzet is a fun one, one of my buddies used his to make a super-friends deck (i instead ran Ramus dragon Engine). it does okay, but if you don't build around the guild color combos, it struggles, and oftentimes there are cards that are going to be better or more reliable than the guild color counterparts. Atla might be used as an alt to Mayael the Anima for me. i REALLY dont like chulane. Yarrok is passable, but im not a huge fan. the issue i run into with him is the deck i would use him for is Azorius, which he doesn't have. Anje Falkenrath is one i REALLY want to build, just haven't gotten around to it. looks like a fun deck. Teysa... i refuse. the first half i can accept. the entire token lifelink/vigilance i don't like, it makes it WAY too easy to win. golos - field of the dead ptsd, i hate this card with a passion.
Whaaat? I don't even play Morophon and I know he's super busted. And you didn't even use "tribal tribal" right, that would insinuate you're using all sorts of different tribes in your deck.... Which you should do. Morophon with all the different tribal pumps is the best way for voltron
Thanks for be a content creator, but I don't agree with your list. Kykar and Morophon are ones of the best commanders release on this year with great potential to be any kind of deck. Your top 10 is full of linear commanders with exeption of Alela and, perhaps, Yarok.
Commander Void, Yarok is linear for all ETB matters. But Alela you can build whatever you want, artifacts, enchantments, flying creatures, control, agroo, combo, voltron, stax or faeries. Almost all cmds of top 10 is focus in combo. How I said, Morophon and Kylar was the best of fun versatil decks. Everyone has an opinion for the bests commanders. But if you make a wrong list of izzet cards, you will pick a fight. Hahahaha
@@abyss_trinity0014 send me 3 functional list of teysa with at least 15 different cards between than. I can do this with Alela and Yarok, if you want. Perhaps linear was a confusing word to use 🤔
@@julianhugen8760 or maybe you have no idea what you're talking about, which seems likely. I'm not going to send you 3 lists just because you dont know what you're talking about. Go on EDHREC and look up teysa and how many differing deck lists there are
@@abyss_trinity0014 i have too may voltron commanders already... but for her, the more equiped creatures you control attack the better, as she gives you draw
2:59 Morophon is actually a colorless creature meaning you can only use colorless cards if Morophon is your commander... 5:03 Kenrith is a mono white creature meaning you can only use white cards... 15:16 Golos is a colorless creature meaning you can only use colorless cards...
@@usernameunidentified175 Card color and color identity are two different things. Card color is determined by the color of mana in the casting cost unless otherwise specified (devoid or double sided cards), whereas color identity is determined by all colored mana symbols on the card. Golos is a colorless card with a five-color identity. Kenrith is a white card with a five color identity. Cards with devoid are colorless cards with a color identity. If you are not trolling, I hope this helps. If you are trolling, I hope this helps to keep others from being confused.
Id say you got the title wrong. Urzas fucking broken and if he wins he should be closer to being called the best then almost anything else. I paused right after him to type this. Idk what comes next but i doubt most these cards to come are better
Kenrith not top 5... Kenrithis the best of the because he can do ANYTHING!!! You want to make a CEDH turn 1 win he got you, want to make politics group hug that wins in the end yeah he got you, Gorgon tribal? Yeah it's now dangerous Kenrith is number 1
First commander I made was teysa. It was centered around afterlife then it went to Aristocrats. Solid list for sure
I started playing commander this year with teysa and now i have 3 complete commanders but teysa will always be mah favorite
I started this year with Teysa as well
I started with teysa too lol. Definitely my favorite commander lol
I like how you have Ayula in her own tier. its good those other losers got their time in the sun not overshadowed by the queen of bears herself!

Agreed, it brought the new age of WUBRG foodchain lists.
kinda sad niv mizzet was higher on the list for the food chain reason even tho first sliver is by far a way better option
This isn’t a cedh list tho. Obviously power rankings top 20 would be a VERY different list.
"Baby's first commander" I feel called out lol. Ive made two decks before I bought this one so hopefully that makes up for it

Gonna have to do a top 50 next year looks like
15:36 *mentions golos and field of the dead* imma have to stop you right there
was with you with most of the picks but when you said number 1 being most creative dont see a commander with phyrexian ability being most creative
I'm happy to see Niv Mizzet in here, I made a deck with him as a commander and while it took me several, and I mean Several, hours to make it, it is a pride and joy of mine and probably my favorite one I have ever made.
This years commanders have been awesome
I love Yawgmoth and Elsha. For the former oh sure, it doesn't do a turn 3 or 4 win, but it plays like how I want it too. A nice long game where the longer it goes and if the engine gets running it's so fun to play. Not to mention, if I get eliminated. I wear that defeat as a badge of how nasty the deck can be. Elsha I'm still tinkering with and at first was going sorcery and instant, before taking into an artifact twist.
For my personal top three I have to say they are Yarok, Golos, and Chainer Nightmare Adept
crovax 13 I got a chainer and yarok and one my friends has golos so fun honestly
crovax 13 I’m working on chainer right now for my second deck. I think that he is awesome
@@zabadoo2898 I've built a Chainer deck and I've found that found that Magus of the Wheel is great card in the deck

Father is versatile and finds more homes in the 99 for sure, but turning all black pips into Phyrexian mana is completely absurd. Son is definitely stronger overall as a commander.
Great list
I also love elsha the infinite combined with low cost artifacts
Omnath elementals are pretty outrageous
correction : Morph bypasses the stack, it is not an active effect, it just is something you do. i think its more difficult to USE than populate which is either you can do it or you cant, but morph is much like tapping a land - you can do it at any time, and it is not able to be prevented or acted upon when you do it.
i dont think you are giving Omnath enough credit. lets put it this way : risen reef and Omanth Locus of rage in the same deck. if you have doubling season, you pretty much just win. especially if you make your lands creatures.
Morphoron gives a head to decks that may not normally have a 5 color option. for instance, i plan on using morphoron as a 5 color Eldrazi tribal commander - to my knowledge, eldrazi are normally utterly colorless. its able to be put in as a commander in the place of more or less any tribal leader, and that also gives you any colors they were missing, while being able to make my cards, especially my multi-color ones, cheaper, sometimes full on zero.
Kenrith looks dull to me. in my experience, if someone is going to build a group hug deck, they will do something that effects everyone equally, not doing so puts a target on your back, and i feel Morophon is easily a more useful commander. he just seems to easy to punish to me, for what he does, and he doesn't give a solid identity outside group hug, a deck style i generally dislike.
Throne of eldraine was rediculous full stop - Oko, Questing Beast. i rest my case.
Boros : Firesong and Sunspeaker. the colors have plenty of big cards you can sling around. i have never BUILT boros because i tend to put green in any deck i have red in (so i built naya) but i don't think this was the FIRST valid boros commander option. Aurelia the warleader is a fun one, though its stronger as one of the 99 in naya. i just don't care for feather at all.
Niv Mizzet is a fun one, one of my buddies used his to make a super-friends deck (i instead ran Ramus dragon Engine). it does okay, but if you don't build around the guild color combos, it struggles, and oftentimes there are cards that are going to be better or more reliable than the guild color counterparts.
Atla might be used as an alt to Mayael the Anima for me.
i REALLY dont like chulane. Yarrok is passable, but im not a huge fan. the issue i run into with him is the deck i would use him for is Azorius, which he doesn't have.
Anje Falkenrath is one i REALLY want to build, just haven't gotten around to it. looks like a fun deck.
Teysa... i refuse. the first half i can accept. the entire token lifelink/vigilance i don't like, it makes it WAY too easy to win.
golos - field of the dead ptsd, i hate this card with a passion.
Whaaat? I don't even play Morophon and I know he's super busted. And you didn't even use "tribal tribal" right, that would insinuate you're using all sorts of different tribes in your deck.... Which you should do. Morophon with all the different tribal pumps is the best way for voltron
Thanks for be a content creator, but I don't agree with your list. Kykar and Morophon are ones of the best commanders release on this year with great potential to be any kind of deck. Your top 10 is full of linear commanders with exeption of Alela and, perhaps, Yarok.
You picked probably the two most linear in the top ten lol.
Commander Void, Yarok is linear for all ETB matters. But Alela you can build whatever you want, artifacts, enchantments, flying creatures, control, agroo, combo, voltron, stax or faeries.
Almost all cmds of top 10 is focus in combo. How I said, Morophon and Kylar was the best of fun versatil decks.
Everyone has an opinion for the bests commanders. But if you make a wrong list of izzet cards, you will pick a fight. Hahahaha
Teysa is probably one of the least linear options on the list, and like previously stated, you picked the 2 most linear commanders in your example lol
@@abyss_trinity0014 send me 3 functional list of teysa with at least 15 different cards between than. I can do this with Alela and Yarok, if you want.
Perhaps linear was a confusing word to use 🤔
@@julianhugen8760 or maybe you have no idea what you're talking about, which seems likely. I'm not going to send you 3 lists just because you dont know what you're talking about. Go on EDHREC and look up teysa and how many differing deck lists there are
Rip golos. He aged well in some ways but clearly not in others
Kenrith should have been number one, since the deck can be build in almost every way you want.
@In the name of scientific progress ahh yes kenrith a tier 1 cedh commander! he is not inferior what so ever rather the opposite tbh
I disagree that being a 5-color goodstuff commander is a point in his favor
Urza is the best forever. Urza is a god and always will be
Easy buddy, don’t lose your head
Great but top 20 list but it's not sir gwyn its syr
my syr gwyn is knights control :D
I'm playing voltron with her currently. I'm gonna switch to try knight tribal shortly lol
@@abyss_trinity0014 i have too may voltron commanders already... but for her, the more equiped creatures you control attack the better, as she gives you draw
In surprised Chulane or Kenrith werent #1
Ah, K'rrik, aka, Jhoira's ex-boyfriend who has a horrendous number of infinite combos based on him.
Teysa dont wanna see my yarok
For me its a tie between yarok and k’rrik

Morophon is actually a colorless creature meaning you can only use colorless cards if Morophon is your commander...
5:03
Kenrith is a mono white creature meaning you can only use white cards...
15:16
Golos is a colorless creature meaning you can only use colorless cards...
Color identity in Commander is determined by all colored Mana symbols on the card, not just in the casting cost.
Let the games begin!
@@joshuavogt8115 Then explain how Morophon and Golos can survive an All is Dust and how Kenrith can die to Ultimate Price?
@@usernameunidentified175 I almost replied before I realized we were being trolled. Nice.
@@usernameunidentified175 Card color and color identity are two different things. Card color is determined by the color of mana in the casting cost unless otherwise specified (devoid or double sided cards), whereas color identity is determined by all colored mana symbols on the card. Golos is a colorless card with a five-color identity. Kenrith is a white card with a five color identity. Cards with devoid are colorless cards with a color identity. If you are not trolling, I hope this helps. If you are trolling, I hope this helps to keep others from being confused.
Where is my boy sevinne?!
No Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves? Pfft, do you even nature?
Id say you got the title wrong. Urzas fucking broken and if he wins he should be closer to being called the best then almost anything else. I paused right after him to type this. Idk what comes next but i doubt most these cards to come are better
Broken =/= Best. It’s uninspired combo bullshit.
Chulane should be in the top 3 :/
Nice
Kenrith not top 5... Kenrithis the best of the because he can do ANYTHING!!! You want to make a CEDH turn 1 win he got you, want to make politics group hug that wins in the end yeah he got you, Gorgon tribal? Yeah it's now dangerous
Kenrith is number 1
Field of the banned!
First like first strike!
No Arcades :(
Arcades came out in 2018
