I like this style of video. It's very similar to how I build decks. I like to look through scryfall for hours and find really niche cards. EDHrec is the final step just in case I missed any really powerful combos.
a couple of weeks ago i played MtG for the first time with jumpstart decks, then got gifted like a hundred green/elf cards. since then i'm looking for cards on scryfall, buying them on cardmarket and trying the decks out in forge. what a fun game. only played Legacy until now, tho. without tools like scryfall i couldn't imagine how you'd even find cards.
You should make this a series! But call it "1 to 100" where you take a Commander and build the 99 around it similar to this video. I think it would be a great tool for players who are trying to build their own version of the deck but don't know where to start
THIS^^ I'm new to this whole world and ATM I'm just playing arena because I'm poor but i didn't have a clue how to build a commander deck. I've just been trial and error but this is quite informational!
@@rainbowrapier872 I was surprised how much it changed for me. At the beginning I thought "that's cool" till I realized how much freedom and comfort you get from combining Archidekt, Scryfall and EDHRec.
"Oh my god it's been 15 minutes I have to hurry up." Sir, you've built most of a new commander deck in 15 minutes by this point. I sometimes didn't scratch the surface of one in 15 *days*
What if it was "1 to 100" instead. You already have the first card being the commander selected. It's not a big title change but I think it fits more thematically.
That's a great video concept. Most of the decks i try to build myself end up being a bit disjointed so it's good to see how people build their own deck. Maybe next times you could take sugestions on commanders from people and go from there?
HI, brand new to the channel here but I really did like this video. I've only built one deck from zero like this and this video helped me understand how to better search through scryfall. I think that videos like this can get repetitive if you do them to often but one thing that I think could keep it interesting is having a few more in depth explanations of the specific cards you're looking at or your plan for the deck. I can't wait to watch more of your videos!
I think one trick you may have missed with this commander is that cards like Frantic Search and Rewind are incredibly powerful, because you can cast them for free and generate mana by untapping lands, I think all of these sorts of cards should be strongly considered in Eluge.
This video is great. Building decks with scryfall is always super fun-especially when you know where you want the deck to go. It’s a lot easier to find cards that do specific things on scryfall than edhrec, but I like to check in on edhrec to find some good staples or perhaps some cards that go well with the deck that I missed. I would have gone with a bit more ramp/land count in this deck since without the commander this deck might get stuck with not enough lands and a lot of big creatures in hand due to the 36 lands.
amazing video but more i search this kinds of guides more i undestand that building decks is all about player knowledge and not totally about a guide .... great video btw
This is really good and i would love this as series. Thats said, if you're worried about time, you could edit it a bit more. With soem creative edits like throwing a card up to the side as you talk about it, and cutting some mistakes out, you can make it way more informative! keep it up!
I haven’t even finished the video but I had to comment that I like this style of video always want to try to make a deck from scratch glad to see a process
I didn't even realize ur channel was so small, definitely dropping a sub! You've got a great voice for the tutorial style of video! Keep up the good work!
Hey just thought you'd like to know, you can drag the scryfall images into Archidekt to directly add them to a deck without doing the copy-paste thing.
Stumbled upon this in my recommended, great little watch! Id say the deck is quite good in terms of power compared to cost, of course power is something you tune to the pod you're usually playing in 😄
Love the concept of this video and would love to see more of it! That being said, maybe start the video after you've added the lands and just point out some of the good utility lands, then move on to the meat and potatoes.
I like this type of video and I think that the name works! I’ve been checking EDH Rec as a final check before digitally goldfishing a midfield deck. My wife wants to play a Ms Bumbleflower deck but I think that the group hug cards in the precon are excessive, so besides a modified mana base I’ve been building it mostly thanks to scryfall finding payoffs for +1 counters, flying payoffs and cheap removal at instant speed. Wish us luck!
Great video, I like watching you build and hearing your thoughts as you do so. It would be cool if you could play one game with the deck after building so we can see how it worked out and hear your thoughts as you play it and reflect on your build
Step 1; look through your collection Step 2; find themes and commanders for those themes Step 3; build a deck with those cards with, initially, a primary focus on draw and ramp. (Can't go wrong) Step 4; upgrade over time. Each prerelease, draft and event you go to will earn you more cards to swap in and out and even more commanders.
No "The Flood of Mars"? EDHRec is useful sometimes :) Harbringer of the Seas would also turn ~10 of your utility lands into Islands. Blur is also good. Great video btw, love to see this type of "live" deckbuilding!
if you use moxfield you can just click and drag the card over into the moxfield list. easy peasy. makes the flow of deck building super nice and you dont gotta open up 100 tabs of cards like i see here. it works for both edhrec and scry fall
never thought about using scry fal to build a deck, ive always been a fan of using forge to build decks but i like how scryfall lets you see the price of cards and totals them up
usually what i do is start with a little of everything, some removal, some ramp, some win conditions, some draw and so on, then i do the lands, and finally i have like an 80-90 card deck and just fill the rest to get to 100 with whatever i think is missing
"Not Using EDHrec as a Guide" . . . Sorts by: EDHrec. . . . . kayyyyy? I dont dislike this format, and I get this was quick pass, and I couldn't make a deck this fast that I was proud of either, but omg. This is bad. I would LOVE to hear more about your thoughts building it, rather then talking about the cards, I know what that cards do, and when they are good, I kinda came here to hear how you make choices, how you make cuts, how you evaluate a card in the context of your whole deck. Those are the hard parts of building a deck and the parts that more ways to do it, new ways to look at it, helps people the most. You also didn't ask some pretty basic questions about this deck. Why are you adding ramp? The obvious awnser is, 'im playing commander I have to', but seriously its a good question to ask with a commander like this? What is ramp DOING here. What are counterspells doing here? If half of your counters are there to protect your commander anyway, why not add boots or stealthsuit, or w/e? Protection that STAYS, while your counterspells are there to disrupt. If you need to attack to get more powerful, why not add swords of x and y? or ways to protect your commander as it turns sideways? Is this a voltron commander? Is this an extra turns commander? How do I win? What are the extra turns FOR? What about instant speed cantrips? What about X Spells? Anyway. I'd love to see more from this format, but I'd really like more detail about the process over the cards you are slopping in 🙏
It is interesting to see other peoples deck building processes mine is the total opposite of yours, aside from known high price cards like dual lands and such I completely ignore budget at first. I start with synergy pieces then go to interaction pieces then, ramp, then decide cuts initially based on budget and if I think it’s worth spending the 10+ dollars on a card just to have its unique effect in my deck then I cut cards to reach my minimum land count not including MDFCs then I search for non-basics then fill in the rest of the basics. I make my decks on tapped out and research with mtg advanced search as well as google searching and clicking images to show me random cards that fall under a random search term. Time building some thing that I actually think out fully takes me about 4 to 7 hours before I fill it in with basics and call it done.
almost doubled your subs in a week! good on you :) I loved this video as im currently building a budget deck and noticed EDHREC was feeling a little " braindead" to work with. Im gonna try rebuild the deck soon with your method
Cool video, but as a new player It wiyld be cool if you explained just a little bit more what all of the cards are in the deck to do. I get that that would make the video a lot longer so I understand not doing it, but it would also add a lot to it!
First thing i thought of was the axolotl from Caverns of Ixalan that puts flood counters on things, then untaps flood counters things on endstep,. This pairing would give potential mana for enemy turns
And also, there's blue fairies that came in the eldraine precon that Care about casting things on enemy turns. And in thunder junction cares about not casting things on your turn. So potentially quite a bit of synergy/potential
I'm a big fan of just building mainly through bulk. Because I find that I can get what I want out of a card that doesn't explicitly say the keywords I want which in scryfall I find is a pitfall for people. Currently making a Uro titan of wrath deck. But I needed a sacrifice outlet so I can continuously escape my commander. Looking through my bulk I came across a lot of copy creature spells. And realized I can abuse state based sacrificing. Which I wouldn't have realized with scryfall IMO.
Sorry if you already did it, but what are the tags you using? The font is too small on mobile for me, also would be nice to see it covered in the video or description
Cards are still sorted by edhrec rank, but it isn't like edhrec is building the deck for you like the actual website does. I think that is a nice workaround
I love this type of content, I'm very very new to deck building in general so having a tutorial like this where everything is slowly and clearly explained is amazing to me You gained a like and my sub to your channel🥰🥰
I like this type of video but would appreciate a bit more explanation. Not sure if you're looking for video topics but I'd love to hear your thoughts on Eminence. I think it's a really good mechanic that makes EDH distinct from other formats but the current implementations have turned the community away from it.
I would like to also see the process of picking from scryfall I joined in 2021 so there’s a lot of cards I don’t know about but I would like to see your thinking process
I liked the video, but I don't know how this kind of deck works, how it end games and the path in your head to achive it. Maybe you could stop a bit explaining a bit more the kind of cards that advance the deck, like you did with the Mind Stone cut (I liked that a lot) but I didn't understand your reasoning behind Leadership Vacuum over the draw spell that you were saying was needed. Even with all of that, really cool video ^^ Edit: clarification
Personally not a fan of this method, I agree that edhrec is used too often by people to "build decks for them," but edhrec is still a useful tool. I prefer to use edhrec to help with a general outline and make substitutions and modifications as I find effects similar to better than the average recommended on edhrec. This method just seems like a similar method that is painfully more manual, but if you have the free time to do it more power to you
Would you be interested in doing one for this commander with a budget of under 100? My current mono blue is too strong so I wanted to challenge myself with a budget fish boy
I got a question with the flood counters, since they are an Island in addition to their other types when i tap it do i get one or the other for mana, or do i get both, eg i put a flood counter on a mountain do i get both red and blue mana or i choose one of the two?
This type of video is super interesting, but I did not find this video all that helpful. You just kind of added cards without any real explanation or reasoning given. I'm not sure why this method seems better than EDHrec, there's really no rhyme or reason why you're adding certain cards other than "this fills a removal quota", which seems objectively awful. The entire deck-building process doesn't even seem to acknowledge anything about the commander you've chosen, other than the fact that it is mono blue. To give an example, your consideration of Swan Song seemingly was only because it was a staple blue counterspell. The reason it is a staple is because it is incredibly cheap to cast (U) and hits most problematic spells. But Eluge discounts spell, so the fact that it is a cost effective counterspell makes it a worse choice in Eluge than a lot of other counterspells that hit more types of cards, but are less cost efficient. If your thought process for deck building is just "hey this is a good card all green decks run" then just use EDHrec at that point. In any case, I think your channel could produce a lot of really cool content in the future.
I like this style of video. It's very similar to how I build decks. I like to look through scryfall for hours and find really niche cards. EDHrec is the final step just in case I missed any really powerful combos.
How it should always be done. Building is fun. Copying everyone else is brainless.

You can drag and drop the images from Scryfall to Archidekt to add a card to the deck.
^^ this, love this feature

what!!!!!! how the heck did i not know this!
Moxfield also has this feature if anybody is wondering.
that’s so cool ! I had no idea.
"Oh my god it's been 15 minutes I have to hurry up."
Sir, you've built most of a new commander deck in 15 minutes by this point. I sometimes didn't scratch the surface of one in 15 *days*
OMG, I felt this so fricking hard jajaja, Totally true, I was impressed the amount of cards already selected in the 15 min mark of the video jajajaja
I actually really appreciate this style of video! It makes the deck building process not seem so intimidating! Keep it up!
I learned a lot from this video just by watching the ways that you use scryfall and the steps you take. Thank you for the vod.

I love it. I’ve been preaching to my friends to ditch edh rec and we’ve all had more fun building through our own research. 0 to 100 for the win!
Love the concept of this video and would love to see more of it! That being said, maybe start the video after you've added the lands and just point out some of the good utility lands, then move on to the meat and potatoes.

This dude is just Kyogre and anyone who plays him is just another Team Aqua thug

BRO!!!!! I am literallty building an eluge deck rn!!! will use the vid as a guide!!TYSM
Great video, I like watching you build and hearing your thoughts as you do so. It would be cool if you could play one game with the deck after building so we can see how it worked out and hear your thoughts as you play it and reflect on your build
I would like to see the creation of each category, i.e. removal ramp, and how you distribute the cards between them
With Mansfield, it has the scall search engine built right in so that is a little easier than copying and pasting card names back-and-forth.
Step 1; look through your collection
Step 2; find themes and commanders for those themes
Step 3; build a deck with those cards with, initially, a primary focus on draw and ramp. (Can't go wrong)
Step 4; upgrade over time. Each prerelease, draft and event you go to will earn you more cards to swap in and out and even more commanders.
No "The Flood of Mars"? EDHRec is useful sometimes :) Harbringer of the Seas would also turn ~10 of your utility lands into Islands. Blur is also good. Great video btw, love to see this type of "live" deckbuilding!
this deck dosnt need either of those cards lmao
i appreciate the ramp tag went from actual ramp pieces to vaguely ramp to this isnt ramp so quicky.
It’s cool watching this process. We do some things the same and some different. It was neat to see your approach. Heres 1 more towards your 1k quest!
Liked, Subscribed, keep doing the deck building from scratch!

I was the 700th sub! Let’s go and I like this type of video would love to see where you take this deck! I’m also building an Eluge deck!
Just stumbled onto this video and I really enjoyed it, at some points I think it felt a little rushed but overall a very fun concept and cool deck!

wow was watching ur vid and was so surprised you dont have more subs! you def got my sub !!
love this style! need more! i have a problem not leaving enough room for lands all the time

I love this type of video as I suck at deck building.
it's painful to watch you copy and paste when you could just drag and drop from Scryfall if you used Moxfield to build/showcase your decks.
Did not know you could do this. Badass
Cool video, but as a new player It wiyld be cool if you explained just a little bit more what all of the cards are in the deck to do. I get that that would make the video a lot longer so I understand not doing it, but it would also add a lot to it!

YOU REALIZE YOU CAN DRAG THE CARDS FROM SCRYFALL INTO ARCHIDEKT RIGHT????? ITS SO MUCH FASTER
I usually deck build on my phone so I forgot I could do that. Thanks for the reminder! ☺️
I pulled the alternate art for Eluge in a play booster!
nice video, bro!
Sorry if you already did it, but what are the tags you using? The font is too small on mobile for me, also would be nice to see it covered in the video or description
Jin-g was in the dropdown. It’s a flip card so it displays the front and back name
Love this video, keep it up!
Best way to build this deck is get the draw card creatures about 10-20 and ramp artifacts, then the draw card cards , then blink and counter spells
get this man to 2k
As someone who used to like only use edhrec I have become an edhrec hater, I can’t lie
Great video! I want more!!! :D
Cards are still sorted by edhrec rank, but it isn't like edhrec is building the deck for you like the actual website does. I think that is a nice workaround
Road to 1000!!
thanks for the video
One critique: sorting by EDHrec rank is basically using EDHrec to build the deck.
Midnight Clock should be in every blue deck and I will die on that hill
I love this type of content, I'm very very new to deck building in general so having a tutorial like this where everything is slowly and clearly explained is amazing to me
You gained a like and my sub to your channel🥰🥰
I like this type of video but would appreciate a bit more explanation.
Not sure if you're looking for video topics but I'd love to hear your thoughts on Eminence. I think it's a really good mechanic that makes EDH distinct from other formats but the current implementations have turned the community away from it.
Thanks for the idea!
I would like to also see the process of picking from scryfall I joined in 2021 so there’s a lot of cards I don’t know about but I would like to see your thinking process
Really cool style of video, earned a like and sub from me!
Nesting Grounds plus proliferate would allow for more uiltility lands
You could drag and drop card images from Scryfall to Archidekt. It will be much more helpful
I've played a very basic lvl 6 version of this commander blinking is great 👍 but having the deck try to deck it's self with x draw cards is ideal 😅
Cool video but I think you should cut to when you want a card or discuss a card versus watching you scroll for a while
Great video! Y earned a new sub’
I know it doesn’t matter, but archidekt was showing your jin-gitaxias, it’s “Jin-Gitaxias//The Great Synthesis” or whatever
I liked the video, but I don't know how this kind of deck works, how it end games and the path in your head to achive it. Maybe you could stop a bit explaining a bit more the kind of cards that advance the deck, like you did with the Mind Stone cut (I liked that a lot) but I didn't understand your reasoning behind Leadership Vacuum over the draw spell that you were saying was needed.
Even with all of that, really cool video ^^
Edit: clarification
I was more interested in how you printed the deck box and then discovered it’s not in here
It looks like it's from a set of 3D printed deck boxes from a site called MyMiniFactory. (I haven't used the site, so I can't vouch for it.)
No fucking way you're under 1k subs. What 😭. Youre gonna blow up soon
Hey buddy, could you just add the Decklist to the discription? would be nice!
Yep. I totally meant to add it earlier. Thanks for the heads up!
Feels like starting with lands is the wrong move.
Personally not a fan of this method, I agree that edhrec is used too often by people to "build decks for them," but edhrec is still a useful tool. I prefer to use edhrec to help with a general outline and make substitutions and modifications as I find effects similar to better than the average recommended on edhrec. This method just seems like a similar method that is painfully more manual, but if you have the free time to do it more power to you
Would you be interested in doing one for this commander with a budget of under 100? My current mono blue is too strong so I wanted to challenge myself with a budget fish boy
21:34 Jin-Gitaxias was the third card.
I got a question with the flood counters, since they are an Island in addition to their other types when i tap it do i get one or the other for mana, or do i get both, eg i put a flood counter on a mountain do i get both red and blue mana or i choose one of the two?
You choose wich one type of mana you want to get
You choose which one type of mana you want to get
i dont play commander very much, and i only play mtg on Arena. but i'll sub, its free so why not.
What is the combo with displacer kitten?
Just count to 63 or whatever for spells then dump lands
At moxfield i can just drag an drop the cards between windows 😅
How do you open new tabs without right clicking?
On Some mice you can click the scroll wheel button and it opens a new tab
This type of video is super interesting, but I did not find this video all that helpful. You just kind of added cards without any real explanation or reasoning given. I'm not sure why this method seems better than EDHrec, there's really no rhyme or reason why you're adding certain cards other than "this fills a removal quota", which seems objectively awful. The entire deck-building process doesn't even seem to acknowledge anything about the commander you've chosen, other than the fact that it is mono blue. To give an example, your consideration of Swan Song seemingly was only because it was a staple blue counterspell. The reason it is a staple is because it is incredibly cheap to cast (U) and hits most problematic spells. But Eluge discounts spell, so the fact that it is a cost effective counterspell makes it a worse choice in Eluge than a lot of other counterspells that hit more types of cards, but are less cost efficient. If your thought process for deck building is just "hey this is a good card all green decks run" then just use EDHrec at that point.
In any case, I think your channel could produce a lot of really cool content in the future.
So what is the win condition of this deck?
