The enchantment ramp is a bit underrated, I think. Everyone says it dies to both enchantment hate and land destruction, but really, I have only ever once gone up against someone with basic land destruction (the Red Armageddon card), and people save their enchantment removal (often "artifact or enchantment" on the same card) for bigger targets. And you're right: if you build in some value, it's bonkers good. And nobody plays Shadow, so the table's gonna look like 😬😬😬😈.
I use an enchantment ramp package in one of my decks with Ley Weaver and Magus of the Candelabra. Add in a couple of bounce lands, a Thespian's Stage, and It's consistent and explosive.
I have a question about the god eternal rhonas and volrath combo. If you have stated your attackers and your opponent decides to board wipe or destroy volrath. Can you pay one and transform volrath into rhonas and put him into your deck from the god eternal ability.
I'm pretty sure it does. Things that are clones change zones and other triggers of clones changing zones know what they were, so I don't see why this one wouldn't work too. Neat!
You always manage to surprise me. I did not expect much from this Comander but I was waaaaay wrong. In fact I want to build this deck. Good Work. Greetings from Peru.
That feeling you got for jodahs avenger is how I felt when I found soulgorger orgg for greven predator captain. If you haven't seen it already look it up 😆
It's still not on edhrec anywhere. Here's your chance Shaun and Andy for a cool Neat Move! And its .35 cent foil. But seriously love you guys keep up the good work.
Cool to see this deck tech. He seems like a really cool commander with a lot of directions to go in. Volrath actually has a HUGE place in my heart as he was the first and only commander type card (legendary creature) I managed to get my hands on as a kid back in the Nemesis block. I’m currently making a deck for him BUT with the requirement of no infect. I really dislike the mechanic in EDH as it effectively means you are playing one game and 3 other people are playing another game. I’ve never enjoyed seeing it played, playing against it and I don’t feel I’d enjoy playing it. I feel bad enough having built my persisticrats Korvold deck...
one card that's a bit slow in the deck but is sweet is Bounty Hunter. Use it to put a bounty counter on a creature your opponent controls that you want to copy OR just kill it with Bounty Hunter!
I like it. Except for where Volrath doesn't deal damage as Volrath when he has used his copy ability. He ceases to be Volrath so commander damage won't work like you suggested. It made me sad until I looked at cards like Spawnrithe and then I found myself grinning like a fool.
Commander damage is tied to the piece of cardboard that is designated as your commander when the game starts. Volrath will always deal commander damage, regardless of what he is when he does the combat damage.
Great episode, really dig how flexible Volrath is, really looking forward to building him!
Yes! Very high praise for this batch of commanders this year!

Until this deck starts putting up Ws. Then they'll look at it a little differently!

This deck ended up a lot cooler than we thought it would be at first glance!
Glad to hear!

Hello to Peru! Thanks for your kind words! I have to admit, we were surprised too!

Wow. Just... wow. That's quite a card! If anyone's reading this comment, do yourself a favour and look it up!

@@xfightforlibertyx I love the risk! Hope nobody's holding a Rakdos Charm!

Just built my Volrath deck... Thank you for the video!
Thanks guys, I really enjoy your work.
Thanks for the kind words! We appreciate it!
Love the deck tech! Any chance we'll get a decklist of it soon?
Yes! We're having some problems with our links, but we'll get it sorted out soon!
Decklist in the show notes now!
Awesome! You guys rock!
I am fine tuning my build of this commander and he is extremely fun.
This is an awesome build guys great work!
Thanks so much! It turned out really fun!
a C19 deck that actually has win conditions.. nice...
I had a game with him where I killed one player with infect and another with CMDR damage
Please submit decklist soon. Looks sweeet 😀
Got it up in the show notes now!
suprised you guys didn't go the infinite combo route with volrath
cant find the deck list anywhere :(
We've gotten our links sorted out, and it's now in the show notes!
@@CommandersBrew Thanks! will try to add some creatures with hexproof, like Lazav or so :) thanks
2:10 don't talk to us or our sons ever again
Those lil' Andys and Seans!

Nice! I like copy it, then kill it! Only I get it! (Until my next turn)
i bought the faceless menace for this guy and rayami to make silly commander damage decks. I'm looking foraward to what you do the vamp.
Volrath is the Dark Side Kraj in terms of combo potential.
master biomancer also a simic that put on counters on other creatures etb
Ooh, yes!!
@@CommandersBrew just imagine turning volrath into a biomancer then play unblockable creatures or infect +7 +1/+1 counters >:)
@@NeberusBeta Sounds like a dream come true!
I built this deck as an infect but I have killed with CMDR damage
Nice! Volrath? More like Versatile-rath!
@@CommandersBrew yep
Turn volrath into a non black creature, then turn it into a chameleon Colossus.
I like your style!
Volrath "can" change into Chamelon colosuss - jsut change him into something else first
Yay, new vid
