A few people mentioned Compost not working but I also wanted to point out Tegwyll's Scouring. It can be cast at instant speed but only by tapping 3 untapped flying creatures as you cast it. Notably the birds are created tapped and are permanently goaded. So they are tapped when you make them then are untapped for the brief period from your untap step until your combat step then are tapped again so your only actual time to cast this using this method would be on your main phase 1, which kind of defeats the purpose of casting it at instant speed.
0:58 Tegwyll's Scouring doesn't really work as an "instant" speed board wipe in this deck since the birds are goaded and come in tapped, so the only time you'll reliably have them untapped outside of your first main is your upkeep and the beginning of combat, not during your opponent's turns.
I'd also recommend Yurlok of Scorch Thrash. Double everyone's mana for a quicker game and I think that Mana Burn on a (very removable) commander is fun
If you wanted to go storm with cards like memnite and ornithopter, include Cloudstone curio. You’ll need 2 0 drops and curio with Rendmaw on the field. Little janky, but it’ll make infinite birds. With curio and Rendmaw on the field, play ornithopter and make a bird. Then play memnite and make another bird. On this bird entering, trigger Cloudstone to bounce back the ornithopter. In the artifact creature route, you could include an aristocrat sub theme with cards like junk diver and myr retriever and sac outlets like ashnods altar. Giving the deck recursion and allowing it to grind out long games. Really excited for this commander, it’s janky and chaotic.
@@tophatpeezy yeah you trigger it on the bird entering. With Rendmaw, cloudstone curio, and say ornithopter on the field, you play memnite. Trigger Rendmaw on playing a card with 2 types, creating a bird (which isn’t an artifact). Bird etbs, trigger Cloudstone to return the ornithopter to hand since it shares the creature typing as the bird. (You can’t choose memnite as it hasn’t touched the field yet).
This is a great video with lots of interesting suggestions. I see many people have already addressed the Compost issue. But additionally, Mycosynth Lattice will not work because it does not change permanents to artifacts on the stack. The “when you play” trigger checks the card while it’s on the stack not when it’s on the battlefield. Hope that helps. Keep up the great work! 👍
I really like the new green and black enchantment creatures in this deck. One that turns them into mana dorks and the other that makes an opponent lose life when you gain life. This deck has a ton of ways to gain life if you go the aristocrats route. Also just dont use primal vigor. If there was a deck it would be good in its this one but it will still randomly lose you the game most of the time.
Because having subscribers makes you immune from making mistakes? Damn that logic makes so much sense. It’s such a small technicality, you don’t need to be such a hardass about it.

Pretty sure cards like Compost and bloodchief ascension do not trigger off of tokens going into graveyard.
Shoot I messed that up, compost doesn't work due to tokens not being cards. Good catch
Correct because those cards specifically say cards going into graveyard.
@jorochimaru yep tokens are not cards.
I have been looking to build a commander deck just for those crazy 5 person games. I think Rendmaw might just be it the coolest one to do it with

Sadly Curio specifies 'non-artifact' entering

Biotransference works because it’s clause includes “creature spells”

Compost is a non-bo. The birds are not cards their tokens so this card does nothing.
I seen someone build it pillow fort and let everyone else kill eachother the birds ya give them.
Noteworthy, for the sake's of Compost - tokens are not 'cards' so a black card being put into the yard will not trigger compost
NO! 😢 twas my favorite card in my deck.
How you have 6k subs and dont know tokens arent cards is beyond me.

4:44 Here's perhaps a stupid question but does a legendary creature count because it has both legendary and creature to it? 🤔🤷♂️
Legendary is a super type, so no unfortunately
@@elderdingushighlander Thanks for letting me know. I'm still quite interested in building this deck.
