Krenko, Mob Boss
Say less lmaooooo
Legit have never seen anyone play Krenko
Watch people get scared cuz of one little goblin 😂
Krenko, Mob Boss
I feel so blessed to be the 100th
Mia figuring out the Krenko guy was her friend Eric is still one of the heaviest laugh's I've given myself.
Sometimes it's really hard to bring Krenko, Mob Boss up and still fit the theme of the video but I try my best.
I have noticed the Krenko comments are slowly overtaking the Gravy Train comments... are you The Creator?
18:30 I was laughing so much when beezy says “geometric growth” and Mia turns to the camera and gives a tiny head shake
Haha nice catch!
the prismatic bridge is almost a perfect secret commander enabler
Get poor Krenko to S tier! 🎉
This commentor is spitting straight facts!
Krenko and artificial evolution is true S+
Hes far better then atraxa in regard to design and ability. Far more interesting and entertaining of a card.
I built a Kenrith deck that took all my Playgroups most popular commanders and threw them in the 99.
It was a fun Avengers Assemble type deck where the whole point was to make them all work together and do cool weird unexpected synergies, and kill people with their retired commanders
i agree that Edgar decks are usually just okay. They usually fold to one or two board wipes unless they get their clamps going
Edgar is the kind of deck that is a 6 on a 9 table. The commander makes you play a lot of bad cards.
Jodah deserves to be in poop tier
Miiram sentinel wyrm is sweet, making clones is always fun.
I feel like i gotta defend Miirym a bit - Why there is a huge gulf in rating between Miirym and Ur Dragon baffles me. I understand that Miirym is basically Ramp -> Play big dragons, which isn't exactly a complicated, or particularly varied strategy. But Ur dragon is just as linear, with fewer sub-themes that you can tack on when compared to miirym, Such as clones, ETB Abuses, or blink. Only thing you're left wondering with Big Ur is which dragons are in the deck, and what method they're using to Power them out. Not exactly a ton of variety there either.
To put it simply:
Ur dragon is linear
Miirym is exponential
In addition to that there is a quite large ammouth of people, myself included, that think ignoring the legend rule is about as dumb as emminence.
I love playing Arcades, the Strategist, nice to see him ranked A.
On CuIts 3D there's even a custom deck holder for him with the tiny flags I'm thinking of getting for him since I love playing him so much.
Arcades is my current oldest deck (when you’ve been playing since 1994 you sell out a few times) and I still break him out once in awhile. So much bad cards but with real synergy can be great fun!
@@derrickpaulson3093 Looking forward to tossing the Pride of Hull Clade into my Arcades deck for next week, hopefully he hits the table. :)
Arcades is great.
that 1 sec pause before beezy said anything gave me life
Fully agree on that Gishath rating he enables Dinosaur Tax evasion and for that he deserves the S tier.
I don't consider Jodah boring, but he is definitely pushed. The whole legend cascade gives you some game variety, but, it's definitely a kill on sight commander. Like about 8 of these on this list.
Chatterfang is my favorite commander, the forest walk and ability to sac tokens to kill creatures and sac outlet on top of its main ability makes it so good and unique
They're just haters. Chatterfang is awesome.
Agreed.
Squirrels have a special place in my heart because Overrun cast after Deranged Hermit was how I won a tournament back in 99 😅
Krenko was my first deck ever because goblins don’t cost much money, now I’ve fine tuned my Krenko deck to win on turn 5 on average. I guess I maybe took him too far lol 😝
Wait till you see what krenko can do with artificial evolution and intruder alarm in an izzet pirates deck lol
My 2 favorite commanders aren't as popular as it used to be but I enjoy them nonetheless. Chainer, Nightmare Adapt is one of my favorites and I had him setup as a Wheel/Graveyard build where I love to disrupt plays so I can do mine more easier. My other favorite commander is Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and I have him built as a Dredge/Graveyard deck. Milling myself while I make bigger beefy boys for Jarad is always satisfying.
I'm not sure what this is a tier list of. Fairness? Strength? Uniqueness? Seems the scale shifts with each consideration that doesnt take into consideration the bias of the hosts. Unless this was a Favorites tier list. That might make the most sense.
Also, what counts as "boring" here? The criticism used for Edgar decks was that most don't play them straightforward enough but then Jodah and Chatterfang are too straightforward?
Personally my favorite deck of all time is Go-Shintai because of how versatile it is and how easy it is to shift its power level up or down. And it has deck exclusive win-cons you wouldn't use anywhere else which is always a plus for me. Plus you can use quite a few alt win-cons that win without dealing any damage for pacifist games and that's a whole other level of play that no one else at the table has to adhere to, just another fun limit to try to win with that's possible with this commander.
For anyone interested in commanders that didn't make it high on this list, play what you want! You might discover something you really really like 😁
Probably a tier list of how fun to unfun it is to play against. Most sweaty nerds are out here trying to be the king of the casuals instead of trying to cultivate a fun experience for the table. Jodah and Yuriko, for example, are shit to play against despite being enjoyed by the worst types of sweatlords.
I think that maybe you dropped the ball on this content. I mean, your criteria for the list was- 1. How fun it is to play, and 2- how fun it is to play against. How can Beezy be impartial when he doesn’t own half the decks, and judges solely off of fun to play against? Have you even played the commanders that find unfun to play against? And Mia’s like- I have this deck and it’s so much fun to play so it’s A tier, and this one is so boring to play against, so poop. Lmao. I feel like this list is very very biased and subjective. I’ve played and played against fair and reasonable versions of all of these commanders, and you couldn’t have gotten this more wrong.
Edit- I’d just like to say that I love this channel and subscribe to it. My thoughts on this one definitely are not how I feel about almost all their other content. I do respect their knowledge and opinions of the game.
I don’t have a Shorikai voltron deck, but I do have a reanimator one. It’s not a deck that abuses its ability, but once each turn is enough to discard the fatties. It used to have Niambi as the face but Shorikai is able to discard the fat nonlegends so I switched. It’s also limited in power to white’s bad reanimation cards, but it’s surprisingly consistent (probably thanks to shorikai’s insane card advantage even when it’s not built around haha)
Krenko was my 2nd deck after making an Isshin samurai tribal!
Here the 2nd after going for Ninjas
The black Titan, you mean, the Grave Titan?
What did Beezy go to college for?
I majored in avoiding bad cards
Blight Titan
never ceases to amaze me how they manage to shrink and then grow back to normal size on these videos. do you guys do this as a party trick sometimes
Always blows my mind when people mention not swinging with Shorikai. It only takes 3 of the pilots, there's cards that can animate it, and the alt-commander from the pre-con, Kotori, is great for bringing that cost down. It lends it more to a "Vehicles Kindred" deck, and it's a blast. It makes me sad to see the fun play style reduced to a weird value engine.
Mia and I had the same introduction to commander. First it was an Edgar, then a Kaalia. Sadly I took both apart. I do still have a mardu deck (Queen M) and definitely stay on the higher colour commanders like Mia. Although I have a mono colour commander for each and they are surprisingly powerful and usually fly completely under the radar (except my mono blue Braids - there be no flying under the radar with her) 😂
I also totally agree about Miirym. If I want to go smash and win on turn 6, I’ll play this deck. But I don’t get it out super often because while it really tickles my inner Timmy to have 20+ hasty dragons and swing, it’s quite linear and not my preferred gameplay
mono blue braids is love! do u have a deck list?
These videos are the bomb! You guys have some cool synergy together.
I loved Prosper the first time I played him but he gets so much hate at my table that I can’t really play him lol
I have a Transformers Jodah deck does that change it into C atleast? lol
That’s awesome
No. Played against Transformers Jodah and it's still cancer. Y'all know you don't HAVE to play Jodah, right?
Animar is S power level, Gishath is super easy to deal with
yeah but the point is coolness. Animar is sticky and annoying to interact with, that's why they didn't put it at a higher rank.
One of my favorite Commander memories was making a Yuriko deck scoop to my Blinding Angel
As a miirym player, she deserves better. At least C/B tier.
Far better then atraxa in design and fun
I don't run Chatterfang as my commander, I run him in my Korvold deck, where he is even more evil :D he's a squirrel though!! so cute right!?
It was cool meeting you guys at pax! I was the guy who had yall sign my flumpf 😂
i have an animar creature deck (all lands-creatures) and it wrecks! lol, it can rebuild so fast, and get outta hand real quick
You did ma boi Schnatterzahn, Eichhörnchen General real dirty with this video. Squirrels are not at fault that Pitiless Plunderer exists.
Lathril voltron is crazy broken
When they said Krenko was the first commander deck people build, damn, so true. I built him as my 2nd deck ever. Still have it, still love it
Hahah, yeah, second one EDH deck here too. Came back after 20 years and since the only deck, I played on a tournament back then was goblins, I had to build him
Bruh...respect the ghost[s] of standard/modern's past!
Calling Hero of Bladehold a weirdo...!
I'm hurt ! haha
jodah sure can be very quick and punishing but however as soon as you kill jodah the board shrinks in power and so i dont think is that bad and definetly desreves to be higher maybe D/C
If Atraxa was ever legal in Standard it would've been banned
It's a 4 mana 4/4 Flying Lifelink Vigilance Deathtouch seems fair
Im a chatterfang player, and ive never made that 15 squirrels joke XD
My Edgar deck has all Vamps. I even have Vampiric Tutor with no combo to find...cause Vamps!😂 I have all 4 Eminence decks and only play them when both my wife and I play an Em deck - she likes the Cats 🐈
Hot take: None of these commanders are above B-Tier because of the “fun-to-play-against” effect: none of these have fresh or interesting decks and they mostly bring out groans from your opponents.
I’m not here for the chatterfang hate😭
I remember when still with Cherry - You roasted Arcades as boring and un-fun commander (Yes it was long time agoo ;P).
mia is a better host in my opinion.
I would not say that - for sure she is not worst - both are great , and I enjoy both content. I think Mia is more "diffrent" in opinion then boys - so its better for "interesting" talks and points of view ;) @@lunarlight3131
I really like playing Go-Shintai Gates and Shrines.
Shrines are 5-color jank.
Gates are 5-color jank.
It makes for a fun combination. Throw in some enchantress staples, and the deck runs fine. You're either doing gate stuff or shrine stuff, and in either case you're doing somwthing you want to do.
I would never lie about guessing 4:20 for the moxfield ad
If Golos was on this list I would request the first tier below poop. Golos would be in the tier where the poop from the poop tier falls on.
S- Atraxa, Kenrith, Ur-Dragon,
A- Jodah, Edgar, Ishin, Krenko, Miirym, Giada, Gishath, Yuriko
B- Nekusar, Prosper, Lathryl, Esika, Wilhelt, Animar
C- Go-Shintai , Kaalia, Muldrotha
Opponents: Do you have this deck? Me: Yes.
People are sleeping on a lot of great commanders is all I'm saying. :P
Josh Lee Kwai would be so sad about Shorikai placement
Jodah? Poop? The entire deck is filled with commanders. One of my favorite decks…
Still poop tier to play against
I’m building a themed Kenrith deck- calling it, the King’s Domain.
It’s based off of the domain mechanic and it’s quite fun
Kenrith with Zirda - activated abilities theme - great fun.
I hate that Go-Shintai is a green card with a WUBRG ability. Just make the card itself WUBRG or colorless! It's always been central to Shrines that they're equally represented in all colors, so even if their commander has a five color identity it makes me never want to play it, because it would feel like a green shrines deck, which is just unnatural (unless you're actually making a mono-green shrine deck, in which case you're a legend).
The black titan is grave titan
🥳
I absolutely love Nekusar! My draw deck may not be the most powerful (it's still ridiculously strong), but it is by far the most fun to play.
For some reason the "Even if you're wrong you're lying" absolutely sent me creasing 😂
I guessed the wrong mox field time…and I’m lying.
I finally built a keranos deck
im playing giada it is very cool and friendly for new player :)
I NEVER cheat, the moxfield ad is at minute 3 with 4 seconds
i used to play korvold, fae cursed king, and ran into the issue that i just wasnt at my friends power level, and i never played it because it wasnt fun to stomp. now i play korvold, gleeful glutton, and its a much fairer card that i still do demonic things in.
Krenko: Easy to build, cheap to build, easy to pilot, and people love goblins. So, yeah, not surprised he's a common first deck.
I’ve built -Isshin -kenrith -atraxa -Esika I also started lists for -Edgar -lathril -chatterfang my friends in our playgroup have built -kaalia -wilhelt -animar -omnath -korvold -jodah -juriko -arcades -gishath -Krenko and we’ve had overlap where multiple of us build the same commanders
Shorikai going face is quite fun, especially once u have a small army and born to drive equiped, sometimes he even oneshots on command dmg xD
Kotori helps alot too, giving lifelink and vigilance
How is prosper not at least A. It does everything a good commander should while not being completely op. Sure he is good and generates sometimes a bit to much of value but its still in the range i would call fair.
The ratings are simply based on their opinions, that's why.
I never thought of Chatterfang as a commander. I just want the extra tokens in my decks...
Want to play a really fun deck? Build kadena, morph is a super intresting ability and there’s alot of shenanigans you can do with it
I wish Omnath wasn't a kill on sight commander. Everyone always targets me and I never win. Now I have to run Greaves, Boots and Flicker effects to keep it on the battlefield. Good thing I can use the Flickers offensively too ;-)
Ur-Dragon was my first foray into Commander back when the precon hit, but I haven't played it in years now. It's fun, but it rarely sticks... mainly it just enables its tribe, which is good enough for me. It just so happens I've been hyped about dragons ever since I was 3 years old, so this deck was love at first sight for me. Maybe I should overhaul it and sleeve it up again...
Also, up high, Beezy - none of my active commanders are on this list either!
Edgar is poop tier no question, I am so confused by you putting it in B tier
For all of you giada players out there you are sleeping on Sigarda, Font of Blessings. Who needs a mana dork in the command zone or bad card draw when you have green
What about golos? He was number one on top 10 commanders played on edhrec
was. It's banned now.
I saw Ishen/Eldraz-annihilate tribal it was gross. " When Iattack, you sacrifice your board"
Goblins or Elfes - that's usually what people build when they move from borrowing decks from friends or playing some arbitraty precon/leftover to their first deck
My birthday is tomorrow! I’ll be looking forward to my HBD wish from you guys!
No Urza? What is your grade? I give it a D, maybe poop.
Isshin, humans, dungeons. He says have fun attacking in mardu find almost any path from there. Good design. If he had any additional power or text he'd be gross.
NERDS! NERDS! NERDS!
Moxfield ad at 23:02 since Beezy has been switching it up. Thanks for more content gang ❤️😁
I swear I didn’t cheat lol you guys have been doing them in the later portion of the videos lately to switch it up on us
Kenny is def mid range bananas or group hug. Hardly any other from what ive seen.
I may be blind but I don’t see Mia’s Edgar deck on Mox field . Just the tune up one you guys did.
Grave Titan, right?
atraxa is prob one of the most annoying, its not fun at all
Me with my 40 vampire Edgar deck: Lol I still brick. I desperately want changeling tribal non-creature cards to come back.
I like Shorikai as my commander. but my deck is all about vehicles. Kindred vehicles that will literally over-run people!
Don’t have any commanders on this list gang 😎
Krenko deserves A tier at least.
It’s funny to look at the list as a weakest popular commander because it’s pretty close to right.
And Ur dragon is not poop tier????? 👀
Queza, esper wheels and best wheel commander and also skyshark wheels both play smothering tithe.
I love my chatterfang
Yuriko FTW…I love playing it and enjoy lefties tears as I flip it over as my commander. Salty tears never tasted so sweet.
Dusk legion duelist makes you want to cast edgar. Esikas front side is a pretty good legends tribal deck. I also think esika is probably B or A for legends specifically. Its def better than jodah.
I guess it isn't at 29:29, cuz I'm lying no matter what?
sad that my favorite magic power couple Rin and Seri didn't make this list...
don't have any commanders built from this list, closest is that I have Thirteenth Doctor//Yazmin Khan and maybe will eventually build all of the cast from exile decks because I like that theme so much.
Beezy, what'd you study in college?
Nerdanomics.
In addition to philosophy, of course.
