BEFORE YOU START: Yes, I realize Saffi and Hans were running from a Lhurgoyf, yet the thumbnail to this video is of a Tarmagoyf chasing Saffi. I'm gonna need you all to get all the way off my back on that one :) Also, Did you miss the Theros Beyond Booster Box Game? Well, watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/P95wwkCHKuA/v-deo.html
I'm a little disappointed the most evil combo I know isn't in here. And yes it's in GW and it's more degenerate than anything Bolas could ever concoct. Granted it could go in any commander deck running green and white but hey. You curious to know what horribly degenerate 2-card combo in green and white is more evil than Dimir? >:D And yes I've seen your degenerate combo decks in Dimir and with Zo-Zu the Punisher and this is much worse. Worse even than a Stasis-Teferi/Derevi/Brago lock. Because it takes like zero effort once it's established and can win on its own without additional cards.
There’s a few inaccuracies that seem kind of important to bring up. 1. With Essence warden you gain 2 life per loop instead of 1. 2. Melira does not work with Devoted Druid. Melira prevents you from putting the -1/-1 counter on your druid entirely, which means you can’t activate that ability at all. Otherwise this was a pretty good primer. I’ve worked on cEDH Saffi for a few years now and it’s nice to see her getting more exposure elsewhere
@@lillianz7892 I'd love a link to that list as well if you don't mind. I use to run Saffi back in the day and this video made me wann pick her up again
Dont forget to add Greater Good, one of the shuffle Eldrazi's and Lotus Petal and you'll draw through your deck while at the same time producing unlimited mana! Saffi has been my commander for ages, glad to see one of the bigger youtubers giving it a bit of exposure! (:
Professor i real my enjoy listening to you discuss MTG. I don’t even play and I really enjoy the quality of your content. Reminds me of when I get to talk to new customers at work. I love teaching folks and helping them make the best choices for their needs.
I think not many noticed but the subconsious highlighting of important text, rules and effects was perfectly done in Sync with the explanation. Small but appreciated detail, i honestly wonder how no one (i know or follow) has done it yet.
Saffi is my favorite commander and edh deck. I spent years trying to perfect her into a high powered combo machine. Now it's too good for most casual games, but I still play her from time to time. She's never boring, in fact she can be very complicated getting all the combo loop triggers down. She's so much fun to play. I don't think I'll ever find a new commander that I enjoy playing as much as Saffi.
I remember a friend of mine played a Gaddock Teeg deck that had Saffi as an alternative commander, mostly because people weren't too keen on Teeg. Admittedly, there were times where Saffi was WAAAYYY better than Teeg. Made pinpoint removal a pain XD
Just started my adventure with Commander and my son has white-green deck. What you showed here is fantastic... and I am missing so many cards! Those combos are awesome!! Thanks for the video and the lesson.
I enjoy these techs, but i am up to 12 decks now. I get to sit at home and build more decks that i will be unlikely to ever play a game with. I like the ways PK has rubbed off on you. I also like the voiced flavor text, and the lore accompaniment for your preview of kiora bests the sea god was top notch.
LOL I remember my buddies Saffi deck, very combomatic. My buddy loved using Saffi with Pattern of Rebirth, Boonweaver Giant and Eternal Witness, least I think that was how it went to get all of their creatures out of their deck ;)
I like the use of deserts in the land base! I think they are an underused mechanic that doesn't take up card slots and isn't that big of a hit coming in taped in slower, tempo or mid-range decks. I hope there will be more potential for use with them at some point!
As for the persist strategy, while it definitely looks nice on Saffi, I think it's better suited to a commander that has more direct synergy with to it, like Shalai, Grumgully, Anafenza (the mono-white one), Mikaeus (both ot them), Melira and the new Renata. I have experimented with persist strats in some of my decks in the past, and from that experience, I say one should either commit to them or drop them altogether, as many of the persist creatures are actually underwhelming without the cards that support them.
For those of you who don't know Altar of the Brood costs 1 colorless for an artifact that says "Whenever another permanent ETB's under your control, each opponent mills 1."
thanks professor! I've been running with Hans for a few years now and can totally recommend thinking about: Blasting station, earthcraft, protean hulk and my all-star gift of immortality, who allows you action on every other turn. cheers :)
Deck techs I'd like to see in no particular order: Gorm the Great and Virtus the Veiled Norin the wary Cromat Ashling the Pilgrim Rashmi, Eternities Crafter Thromok the Insatiable
Don't forget blasting station. It's as good of a win condition as alter of dementia for your loop, and sometimes better if the opponent plays a card that shuffles back into their library if milled.
My Mizzix combo deck was probably the most hated in my playgroup, until another player made a Saffi deck with a terrible penchant for combo-ing on turn 5 or 6. And boy am I really glad for that. As for future decks I'd like to see, how about Unesh?
hey prof. about your deck techs, when you do a deck tech on a commander that existed for quite a while, the player base might have already explored all that it can do. BUT! when you do a tech on a commander that was released in the latest set we often do not know what is it capable of yet. the recent set T.B.D has so many cool legends just waiting to be explored in the format
Yeah. I've always wondered how a Saffi deck might function but this definitely seems difficult for me. I guess there's a reason I stick with Voltron or basic damage lol. I might end up decking myself with Great Henge or something (if I had one that is given its price tag) or accidentally leaving Saffi in the graveyard without ways to recurr her. This was still a fun deck to see though and may be fun to try one of these times.
IF you know the loops and the cards in you deck, it is a very cut and paste style deck to play, also, this deck allows you to loop a protean hulk infinite times, which I heard is pretty good.
The cool part of this is that you could proxy this and learn it. My public library has computers available along with a nice color laser printer, so I can print a set of proxies for less than $10 and they look pretty good. I did this with modern storm. It makes a lot. Ore sense now.
A small correction, Professor: Devoted Druid doesn't work with Melira. Because Melira prevents counters from being placed at all, you can't pay the cost to untap Devoted Druid with Melira on the battlefield. It works with the Vizier because you can pay the cost, but it replaces "put one counter" with "put zero counters", thus allowing you to go infinite.
Quite late to the party, but I have a pretty neat suggestion to the deck. Path to ancestry would be better in this deck than the temple, as you'll probably cast your commander multiple times during the game, which means multiple times of card selection.
The command zone UA-cam channel did a deck tech on Uro that's pretty sweet. It's less about escape and more about Uro's first ability, though. If you want to build around escape specifically, I would suggest using Kroxa instead, as you can include Underworld breach and a lot of other graveyard matters cards.
We here at Cards and Comics in Conroe, TX would like to see a deck tech on Kenrith, the Returned King. We think you can make it a special way someone else cant.
How about a tech on Sek'Kuar, Deathspeaker? A Jund commander that gets overlooked because of generals such as Korvold,Prosh and Lord Windgrace. It can turn the same old aristocrats strategy into a beat down token strategy!
Correct me if im wrong but Melira and Devoted Druid don’t mix. Part of activation cost of devoted involved putting -1 counters, which Melira outright does not allow.
If you could, I would like to see a deck tech for klotys, god of destiny. She is a cool card and a cool commander, but I can't figure out how to make a deck around her ability since it's so weird. Thank you for your consideration
And now with the new commander death changes, saffi can activate while going to the command zone! I might try to build this after i make my friends suffer with malfagor ;)
Very unfortunate that Ach! Hans, Run! is Gruul, or I'd put in this deck regardless of being silver bordered. This is a really cool deck Prof, I might have to give this one a try.
Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer, only don't make it oppressive and controlling, but make it more Group Hug. I play a version of Gwafa inspired by Radiophage on TappedOut that's a lot of fun to play. I recently played Gwafa vs Arixmethese, Nekusar, and Bruse Tarl/Thrasios. It didn't win, but it was a ton of fun to interact with the other players, drawing them cards and giving them help while they didn't come for me until after an hour and a half, the Bruse-Thrasios player won by drawing his deck etcetc. It's deck 1703964 on MTGGoldfish if you find a deck already there and change the number.
I helped the Arixmethes player untap a land to counter another spell, I made the Nekusar player's Jace's Archivist block another 2/2 to prevent it from wheeling us again while they had Nekusar out. I managed to steal Nekusar and have a couple turns of damaging other players with Party Jace and Howling Mine. I stole the Thrasios player's Mirage Mirror, and then the game came to an end after I cast a Parallel Thoughts to line up my perfect draw containing a Corrupted Conscience on top, which was going to get put on a huge creature the Arixmethese player had, giving it infect. Also had a Rite of Replication up next if I recall.
I find the lack of both a Horizon Canopy (the only Horizon land in allied colors!) and you even said 2 months ago that every Green Deck needed a Lifecrafter's Beastiary. So what is it?
Have you paired Saffi with the new Gerrard? 😁 Also need to review the legality of melira with devoted druid... If you can not put - 1/-1 counters you can not pay for the activation of such ability.
You can activate the ability. The cost to untap Devoted druid is putting a counter on it. The ability resolves and it tries to put a counter onto itself. Vizier of Remedies intervenes and says it cannot get that counter. The cost was paid but a replacement effect made it so it could not receive said counter.
@@KingdomCrusader no it doesnt work. Vizir says put one less on (1-1=0) but melira wont let you put the counter on in the first place, essentially stopping you from activating the ability
No alters? Seems an odd exclude infinite mana alongside free sacs seems a wrong to me. Also no alter of the brood? Backup wincon? Seems like a fun toolbox deck though
Also, every Saffi deck seeking to be competitive should carry the good old Boonweaver and Hulk combos. For those who are unfamiliar with it, you need Protean Hulk (or Boonweaver Giant + Pattern of Rebirth) and any free sac outlet: -Resolve Protean Hulk or Boonweaver Giant (have Boonweaver Giant get Pattern of Rebirth out of the deck); -Sacrifice it, get Karmic Guide, revive the sacrificed creature; -Sacrifice it again, get Felidar Guardian or Fiend Hunter, blink Karmic Guide, revive the sacrificed creature once more; -Sacrifice the creature one last time to get Reveillark. With all these pieces assembled, you can proceed to cheat every single creature from your deck and graveyard into the battlefield. Now the sky is the limit: feel free to remove all of your opponents' permanents with Acidic Slime and Archon of Justice, or just outright kill them with Perilous Myr or Inquisitor Exarch.
Melira prevents -1/-1 counters being put on the creature, so you cannot untap devoted druid if Melira is on the battlefield, the only card that works is Vizier of remedies, because it removes the counter, it doesn't prevent it being put on there in the first place, if the counter is prevented, you cannot untap devoted druid. If you are afraid to deck yourself, add an Eldrazi titan to the deck list and your graveyard gets shuffled back in, just be careful saffi isn't in there when you do this.
Last time I played with mine, I really annoyed the table by setting up Cavalier of Dawn + Gift of Immortality + Ashnod's Altar... every turn, blow something up. Fun times. :)
BEFORE YOU START: Yes, I realize Saffi and Hans were running from a Lhurgoyf, yet the thumbnail to this video is of a Tarmagoyf chasing Saffi.

Yes, Theros: Beyond Dea- Jimmy Fallon was a surprising watch!
I'm a little disappointed the most evil combo I know isn't in here. And yes it's in GW and it's more degenerate than anything Bolas could ever concoct. Granted it could go in any commander deck running green and white but hey. You curious to know what horribly degenerate 2-card combo in green and white is more evil than Dimir? >:D
And yes I've seen your degenerate combo decks in Dimir and with Zo-Zu the Punisher and this is much worse. Worse even than a Stasis-Teferi/Derevi/Brago lock. Because it takes like zero effort once it's established and can win on its own without additional cards.
Tolarian Community College, your request is: Super easy barely an inconvenience
Seeing how a tarmogoyf is a type of lhurgoyf, it’s still technically accurate so we’ll let this one slide.
Who is being a dick about this? That Tarmagoyf art works better for the thumbnail anyway, so they can go screw XD
There’s a few inaccuracies that seem kind of important to bring up.
1. With Essence warden you gain 2 life per loop instead of 1.
2. Melira does not work with Devoted Druid. Melira prevents you from putting the -1/-1 counter on your druid entirely, which means you can’t activate that ability at all.

Me: *Stares at arguably one of my best casual decks*
I think not many noticed but the subconsious highlighting of important text, rules and effects was perfectly done in Sync with the explanation.
Small but appreciated detail, i honestly wonder how no one (i know or follow) has done it yet.
Hans: “Ack! Saffi! I don’t have card featuring me!”
Saffi: “Later loser.”
You are right. He is only on the Unhinged card, "Ach! Hans, Run!". Too bad really.
Maybe we'll get Hans in commander legends
Saffi is my favorite commander and edh deck. I spent years trying to perfect her into a high powered combo machine. Now it's too good for most casual games, but I still play her from time to time.

What the actual hell? This is the third time a deck tech has come out for a deck I am looking to build!
I absolutely am not spying on you! Why would you even suggest such an absurd thing? By the way, you're almost out of toothpaste.
Tolarian Community College ... thank god im moving soon. Might be able to lose you that way. On a completely unrelated not I need to run to the store.

Ach! Hans! Run! It's the big floating hand in the sky that keeps stuffing me back to the command zone!

Long time fan! I'd love to see a muldrotha decklist next, I have a muldrotha deck and it's my favourite by far.
Altar of the Brood would be a good card for this
For those of you who don't know Altar of the Brood costs 1 colorless for an artifact that says "Whenever another permanent ETB's under your control, each opponent mills 1."
Yeah wtf
Awesome graphics Prof, made the video very easy to engage with
thanks professor! I've been running with Hans for a few years now and can totally recommend thinking about: Blasting station, earthcraft, protean hulk and my all-star gift of immortality, who allows you action on every other turn. cheers :)
For even great ways to undo/interact with that -1/-1 counters in presist creatures, we have Renata from Theros and also The Great Henge from Eldrain.
Nice flavorful deck Prof!
"Orzacca", "Shaylay", "gavonny", "Meliria" ... oh no. I hate this.
malaria, sylvok outcast
The Saffron Olive effect.
I used to have a joke that the only card that could stop Saffi Eriksdotter was Erik Saffisfather.
My main commander
I don't know how, and I don't know when, but you need to play this on game knights. for the people.
7:40 id also throw in solemnity BUT its a nonbo with green gearhulk & crusade, shalai... if you want to do a counters theme dont take solemnity
Deck techs I'd like to see in no particular order:
Gorm the Great and Virtus the Veiled
Norin the wary
Cromat
Ashling the Pilgrim
Rashmi, Eternities Crafter
Thromok the Insatiable

Favorite card to find in my Karador build.
This game is so awesome. The more I learn the more I realize I dont know jack. Cant wait to play as much as possible.
I've already made this deck with Asmira (mirage) as the commander and its excellent. I highly recommend it
I’m afraid I couldn’t hope to pilot something like this - it looks fairly complicated, although for combo lovers I’m sure this is excellent.
Yeah. I've always wondered how a Saffi deck might function but this definitely seems difficult for me. I guess there's a reason I stick with Voltron or basic damage lol.

Hey, I used to live in conroe! Small world.
How about a tech on Sek'Kuar, Deathspeaker? A Jund commander that gets overlooked because of generals such as Korvold,Prosh and Lord Windgrace. It can turn the same old aristocrats strategy into a beat down token strategy!
I'd be interested to see your take on a Kykar, Wind's Fury commander deck.
Correct me if im wrong but Melira and Devoted Druid don’t mix. Part of activation cost of devoted involved putting -1 counters, which Melira outright does not allow.
hey prof ! where is your blasting station ??? ^^
I would like to see some Horobi deck tech!

Will love to se Elesh Norn or the "dual" of Vial Smasher and Thrasios
What about adding alter of the brood to the deck.
I'd love to see an update of your personal teysa deck.
Saffi is a pretty brutal Commander. Really easy to pull of combos
If you could, I would like to see a deck tech for klotys, god of destiny. She is a cool card and a cool commander, but I can't figure out how to make a deck around her ability since it's so weird. Thank you for your consideration
I'd like to see a deck tech on Sisay, weatherlight captain
Nice video, as always :)
I would love to see Rashmi, Eternities crafter EDH.
Solemnity can be used as well as vizier of remedies and melira
Thanks for sharing a very cool deck.
Small error, Melira doesn't work with devoted druid as it prevents the counter entirely.
In the german 4th edition of worldly tutor the flavor Text says "Ach, franz, run! It's the Lhurgoyf!" -Hans
Edit: You'r right it's in the 6th
And now with the new commander death changes, saffi can activate while going to the command zone! I might try to build this after i make my friends suffer with malfagor ;)
Important to remember that devoted Druid cannot gain -1/-1 counters to untap if Melira is out.
Dylan Winslow Correct, with Melira in play, you can’t pay the cost of putting a -1/-1 counter on druid
Exactly, I was thinking the same, you can’t pay a cost if a card prevent you to do it!
How did the Melira/Druid combo work in Modern then? I swear it was a thing a few years ago. Judge!!
I'd like to see a deck with Theros Beyond god's and demigods maybe Karona false god as commander?
Wow, that was exhausting! But it looks awesome!
I had this as a child n wondered it for years
Prime Speaker Zegana or Grismold, the Dreadsower deck tech next?
Please review the Blackfyre brand of sleeves, deck boxes and playmats dice etc
My Saffi is a reanimate deck and its super fun ahahha I love it
Very unfortunate that Ach! Hans, Run! is Gruul, or I'd put in this deck regardless of being silver bordered. This is a really cool deck Prof, I might have to give this one a try.
I really like the power level we hit!
Well, you could substitute that with Lurking Predators, but I don't know if it will work in a deck like this.
Thoughts on updating your edh Mana base videos?
Why, yes! Stay tuned!
Blasting Station would fit perfectly in the deck, sac outlet and win con in one card.
Or grinding station
Well a saffi deck of some kind is now on the build list
Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer, only don't make it oppressive and controlling, but make it more Group Hug. I play a version of Gwafa inspired by Radiophage on TappedOut that's a lot of fun to play. I recently played Gwafa vs Arixmethese, Nekusar, and Bruse Tarl/Thrasios. It didn't win, but it was a ton of fun to interact with the other players, drawing them cards and giving them help while they didn't come for me until after an hour and a half, the Bruse-Thrasios player won by drawing his deck etcetc.

I helped the Arixmethes player untap a land to counter another spell, I made the Nekusar player's Jace's Archivist block another 2/2 to prevent it from wheeling us again while they had Nekusar out.

Also had a Rite of Replication up next if I recall.
In hindsight doesn't it seem like Saffi's flavor text implies that she's a Planeswalker? I'd love for her to make a comeback sometime soon.
Any online deck list?
I find the lack of both a Horizon Canopy (the only Horizon land in allied colors!) and you even said 2 months ago that every Green Deck needed a Lifecrafter's Beastiary. So what is it?
May we have a mirri the cursed deck teck? Also mirri of the weatherlight... And finally mirri cat warrior... All mirri!

I know tribals are less of a focused setup but I'd love to see a demon tribal
Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive or maybe Nin, the Pain Artist.
Daxos can do double duty in gaining life in these sacrifice loops
You missed the infinite combo of Saffi, Karmic Guide, and Blasting Station
Also, you should do a video on Yennett, cryptic sovereign next!
Each loop, each loop loops each loop's loop eachly.
Also, every Saffi deck seeking to be competitive should carry the good old Boonweaver and Hulk combos.
For those who are unfamiliar with it, you need Protean Hulk (or Boonweaver Giant + Pattern of Rebirth) and any free sac outlet:
-Resolve Protean Hulk or Boonweaver Giant (have Boonweaver Giant get Pattern of Rebirth out of the deck);
-Sacrifice it, get Karmic Guide, revive the sacrificed creature;
-Sacrifice it again, get Felidar Guardian or Fiend Hunter, blink Karmic Guide, revive the sacrificed creature once more;
-Sacrifice the creature one last time to get Reveillark.
With all these pieces assembled, you can proceed to cheat every single creature from your deck and graveyard into the battlefield. Now the sky is the limit: feel free to remove all of your opponents' permanents with Acidic Slime and Archon of Justice, or just outright kill them with Perilous Myr or Inquisitor Exarch.
My favorite commander so far.. i've been known in our shop because of saffi.. haha..
What rule number state that the counters are removed when they negate each other?
Can you do Grenzo, Dungeon Warden next?
Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero. That would be some flavor!
Melira prevents -1/-1 counters being put on the creature, so you cannot untap devoted druid if Melira is on the battlefield, the only card that works is Vizier of remedies, because it removes the counter, it doesn't prevent it being put on there in the first place, if the counter is prevented, you cannot untap devoted druid. If you are afraid to deck yourself, add an Eldrazi titan to the deck list and your graveyard gets shuffled back in, just be careful saffi isn't in there when you do this.
An anagram of “Lhurgoyf” is "Ghoul Fyr".
Gift of Immortality is a must in every Saffi deck.
Last time I played with mine, I really annoyed the table by setting up Cavalier of Dawn + Gift of Immortality + Ashnod's Altar... every turn, blow something up. Fun times. :)
