    I have two friends who each have a Progenitus deck and whenever we can’t finish a game (pretty frequently) they always say “Well, I was gonna cast my commander X turns from now and probably win” no matter what the board state was, and most of the times they were going to be dead pretty soon and Progenitus was not going to be cast.

    • @chasm9557
      @chasm9557 2 роки тому +2

      I like budget building, but something that discourages me from playing 5 color decks is having too many choices. I have a hard enough time brewing a 3 color deck because I find there's too many things to choose from, so adding an extra 2 colors would make it almost impossible for me to brew something unless I have quite a few major restrictions.

    As someone who plays Sisay, I would have to disagree with you on her placement. True she is a bit niche but there are so many legendaries you can tutor for even with keeping the cmc low and mana fixing isn't that hard with cards like The World Tree, Sylvan Scrying, Expedition Map, ect.
    The casual pods I play with usually single her out when she's played because if given a little slack Ill have too many threats out to deal with.
    Def not S rank without tons of money in the 99 but a solid A imo.

    • @Gweezy12
      @Gweezy12 2 роки тому +6

      Sisay gets more broken every time a good legendary card is printed. Sisay allows you to play control and hold up your mana then just tutor power legendary permanents. As much as i like Go shintai of life's bounty for shrines sisay is just a better commander. You dont have to all in on an enchantment theme. Like tutoring up a beledros and untapping and tutoring again. A bolas citadel and having Asuza out and just not be gated by lands. You get to run a lot of silver bullet answers to peoples deck and make them miserable. Sisay is atleast A tier.

    Codie, Garth One-Eye, and Go-Shintai of Life's Origin are the only ones I feel are worth building, considering options I favor, my prospective fun, and hipster/cult classic flavor.
    Codie scratches the 'challenge accepted' itch when trying to build around the no-permanent restriction, especially with the cycling reanimator build.
    Garth sheds light on Magic's past, opening up thoughts of builds with lots of old cards, though my idea may cost too much money. I would build him somewhat similar to how I built my untested, banned, and dismantled Golos deck if I were to go way more budget.
    Go-Shintai of Life's Origin is the one I actually built, and I was pleasantly surprised at some of the fun non-shrine enchantment and historic support I had in my collection. Who would have thought Cabal Paladin (a Dominaria common) would be such a funny and effective addition?
    Also, the prospect of collecting all of the shrines was way more enticing than acquiring the best slivers, the best warriors, the best allies, or even the best dragons.
    Kenny, Sisay, and Jegantha made their way into the 99 of my shrines tribal build, where as I would put Jodah into the 99 of a prospective Garth deck, but I also wonder what kind of WUBRG legend would fit as a plan B for Codie, should the vociferous codex fail to work as intended.

If I'm not put down by the time it's my turn again I win. It's because the next turn brings at least 5 free dragons. Morophon then Tyrant of Jund, Kologhan Storms fury, atarka world render and Thrakis the butcher.

    @cuppadirt 2 роки тому +2

    Hard disagree on the placement of the first sliver in S tier versus overlord in A. The first sliver is a lot of value, but the first sliver you hit off of his Cascade will not cascade itself because the first has not resolved. The majority of slivers are also low mana value, So the odds of you going four, three, two, one are extremely slim. Overlord is an answer to any potential problem on the board at instant speed, plus he can tutor for any of the other five legendaries. If you build your deck specifically to Cascade into specific cards, then the first might be a more powerful version, but then we're looking at CEDH territory. I think as a common sliver tribal deck, the overlord will always be the most powerful and consistent iteration.

    I just had an epiphany - I absolutely love the un-sets and Niv-Mizzet Reborn would be the perfect commander to just slam out all of the 2 color legendaries from unfinity plus the other silver bordered ones. With WUBRG you all of a sudden have attractions and stickers, you're slapping instants onto the board as creatures, and all sorts of nonsense just ensues from there. Probably nobody will care much about this but that's understandable lol figured I'd share anyways

  • @darianleyer5777
    @darianleyer5777 2 роки тому +1

    Seems like Jegantha is good for providing the mana fixing needed for the WUBRG-cost Commanders, and I expect it to see Sideboard play in any such Commander deck - though Progenitus is a 2(WUBRG), or WWUUBBRRGG one, so if they are in the same deck, you have to mainboard both to get it to work. You are probably just going to cheat out Progenitus anyways, though, with something like Thran Temporal Gateway.

    • @darianleyer5777
      @darianleyer5777 2 роки тому +1

      Morophon is another good solution for mana fixing among the 5 color commander options. It can make the single WUBRG 5-cost commander options - both D-tiers, for example - free casts. Furthermore, it helps Jegantha get Progenitus out by turning him into a single WUBRG instead of a Double if you choose Hydra or Avatar.
      Personally, though, I think Progenitus works better as a Hidden Commander.
      Speaking of which, Morophon makes a great addition to any/all Sliver decks, either in or out of Commander, even if it's not actually the commander, though it does allow you to use the WUBRG Sliver legends as hidden commanders much more easily.
      I want one.

      Like Codie, I actually have a copy of the Go-Shintai, and have been meaning to make a commander deck around it. Yes, the mana fixing is an issue, but you only need to have Green to cast it, and green has the best nonland mana fixing I know of.

    Codie is a very versatile commander.

I feel like B teir is a bit low for the dumb book honestly for casuals.

    Heavily disagree with Tazri. She's a massively good toolbox commander that basically can get your wincon at any time. There's a surprisingly good amount of Allies that are really, really good. Easily a deck that can blow out ahead of everyone simply because your commander can get any ally for the right boardstate. A Tier at the very least.

  • @arridueldes5638
    @arridueldes5638 2 роки тому

    Most of this list I agree with or at the very least can see where you are coming from, but in my opinion Ur-dragon and Sliver Overlord should be S tier. I know someone who plays slivers and they had a combo with training ground, Overlord, and ameboid changeling, they literally were tutoring and stealing the best card across the table every turn for one mana each, with every sliver on their board able to be tapped for mana. As for Ur-Dragon, even just with the combos that came in its precon, Ur-dragon can easily destroy an opponent AND get you a full hand of cards AND cheat in an expensive permanent for you, all in one fell swoop, and that isn't even getting into running it with powerhouses released later like Tiamat, Hellkite courser, the Ancient Metallic dragons and Miirym from Baldur's Gate, Isshin, and Scion of Draco, though I admit, I am biased on that particular deck as I play it and my list miiight not wholly be casual at this point. I also feel like you might be underestimating Ramos a little not putting it in A, but considering some of the other things that ARE in A, I can see it as iffy, a B+ as it were that is sort of on the fence, being able to suddenly pop out ten mana on an opponent's turn to help you respond to what they are doing while tapped out is a pretty powerful effect. Anyways great video, and out of curiosity, if you had released this now, where would you have put the new five color commanders from Dominaria United on this list?

  • @TheTontomtoofat

    How I know I am picking the right commanders: Your 2 "D" list legends are my two favorite decks!
    I mean that in a good way. So many players are so focused on breaking the format/commander/play group that these great and CHALLENGING commanders are too often overlooked. Cromat and Horde are easily two of my most powerful decks in my arsenal. It isn't easy but in a casual and friendly playgroup both of these Generals can do plenty of winning. Are they the worst 5 color generals? I would say "no" but I can see why someone might say that they are.

    I don't understand your logic... Sliver Queen is S tier because of combo potential... but Sliver overlord... which literally fetches you all the combo pieces is A tier?
    Legit Sliver Overlord is the strongest sliver, and S tier in my opinion. Having the Sliver Queen at your beck and call is what I do when I want to play my silver deck casual. When I want to crush someone who has pissed me off, I switch to the overlord. It was the first deck I ever made and it's mana base is quite weak because of it... and I still consistently get rainbow turn 5, fetch all the combo pieces and go infinite by turn 6. At that point, you can win by literally any method you choose. Mill someone out, make them draw, direct damage, or simple combat.
    And if you want to use the MC ability, there are changelings that make creatures slivers, as you well know. Amoeboid Changeling has been in my sliver deck since I built it in the late 2000s

      Protection is commonly misunderstood as complete exemption from permanents, and effects created by cards, with the specified quality. However, protection is defined by a relatively narrow set of rules, which are often communicated using the mnemonic acronym DEBT. The permanent or player with protection cannot be:
      Damaged by sources with the specified quality. (All such damage is prevented.)
      Enchanted, equipped, or fortified by permanents with the specified quality.
      Blocked by creatures with the specified quality.
      Targeted by spells with the specified quality, or by abilities from sources of that quality.
