Been out of magic since 2000, only returning due to Forgotten Realms and found out they finally gave my favorite character in the original novels a card! Can't wait to build a deck around him now.
@TechnoMage Dude, make a Commander deck. Avoid standard like it's a cross between the Plague and Covid. I too, was a player back in the 2000's and I can assure you, the state of the game is totally unbearable.
I had almost all the cards laying around and just pulled him from a booster - just HAD to built it. I just love solid & budget friendly decks. Tweaked it a bit around but still about untapping a lot. Keep up the good work!
Love the idea My garth is a token theme where I use Any and all token generators then turn them all into black lotus and give them to players because why not
I was overwhelmed with the possibilities for Garth, but this deck list feels sweet. In my Garth deck I have a bunch of tap-destroy effects like Visara the dreadful and Mangara of Corondor, but I really enjoy this list and will use it to update mine.
Hey man, you sometimes low-key scare me, when I need more info on specific abilities, you soon release a video featuring them. Happened with your Oloro deck, the hardest creatures to kill and biggest creatures for my old mimeoplasm deck, and now untapping for my kwain deck and Oswald fiddlebender deck. Live all that you do, keep it up. 😁
Some cards whom I think deserve consideration are: Spawning Grounds making you an army of 5/5 tramplers, Genju of the Realm can be an 8/12 indestructible trampler that is also safe from bounce/exile -effects while it´s not your turn, Kamahl, Pit Fighter is a Bolt on stick, also with haste; and both Kwain, Itinerant Meddler and Selvala, Explorer returned can draw a bunch of cards and the letter still ramps you (probably)
My pod at commander night at my lgs got blown up by this deck and it was by far the cheapest deck at the table. So now I’m building it because it looks like a blast to pilot.
I use the oldest copies I have of all the Garth cards as the tokens. 3rd edition disenchant and regrowth and 4th edition terror. I did have a revised Shivan Dragon but I sold it to my LGS when I saw it was $30 so I could get more D&D packs. I use the core 2017 Dragon and I am planning on making a wooden black lotus as my token
Very cool, I did a very similar build with my Gnostro deck that’s mostly built around Jeskai ascendancy and various other Untap engines for pingers and value. It’s a lot of fun and whenever I have more that like two Untap all creature triggers on the stack (day by copying an Untap spell) my brain starts to hurt but it’s all good fun.
@@lavandereisly4194 with Rings and Basalt Monolith of course. Which work well with Garth anyways. Also throw in a Seedborne Muse. And a Lithoform Engine for kicks.
I would add beguiler of wills and arcanis for control and more card draw. Also I believe I need at least 3-4 counterspells and 1-2 mass indestructible effects such as heroic intervension to save your enchantments. Also with indestructible lands it would be spicy to add some Armageddon effects
Hey Mitch, what's that tool you're using near the end of the video showing prices? I wanna check it out to see if it gives the same kind of numbers that i get when i go directly on tcgplayer. For example this deck would cost me pretty much 80 euros without foil and including played cards, that seem a bit excessive.
How about adding Thassa deep dwelling and other flicker spells in this deck to use all 5 of Garth's abilities in one turn, then flicker him to do it again next turn? Now I know that using Thassa would take it away from the budget build, but it would make the deck all the more powerful!
You should put all cards in the description so that people can more easily look them up and buy them without having to rewind and pause the video on every card
watched the video and still not sure what it does. i think its implying that you can win almost any way you want. mill, ping, combat, etc. i dont have a garth yet but ill see what he can do.
Is it bad that I kind of want to do this decklist, but with the land 'Arena' and 'Chromatic Lantern' in with it, just cuz well . . . Arena is the best book ever written for MTG.
I feel like I am missing a big point of this deck... I just can't seem to find the win con. I get that the point is to untap and retap big lands and garth a bunch but excluding the dragon all that gives you is a shit ton of mana and a lot of cards.... I get that Jeskai's Ascendency is going to pump your guys but even then if everything got pumped for say +6 and you have idk 4 creatures that is 3 +7's or +8's and 1 +11... In a 4 person commander game that kills maybe one person and that goes away at then end of your turn where u just die. Like I said, I have been very impressed with most of the deck techs I have seen from mitch, but this one has me confused.
Yeaaaaa..it seemed fun so I did build it. When I played it everyone was getting real worried because I seemed to be doing a ton of stuff each turn....but in the end I did absolutely nothing to anyone. haha. It was odd...looking for a better route with Garth.
Yea, you need to give him haste to use him immediately but the benefit of blinking him is A) protecting him from targeted removal, and more importantly B) resetting him, since if he leaves the battlefield then returns he is treated as a new object and "forgets" anything he already did.
I feel like anoiner priest a d anointed procession would be pretty good options as well with extra token generation and life gain Who doesn't want multiple lotuses and shivans
I wonder if making this deck with Golos at the helm would be good with all that mana... how many activations do you think you could realistically get generating all that mana...
This deck looks very cool and have always wanted to build around home but how does this win. I feel like I should know but I can’t seem to figure it out.
Okay so most split cards like Fire // Ice are "you can only cast one half of the card". However there are split cards with Fuse (like say...Ready // Willing). Wit these cards when you cast it *from your hand* you may cast both halves if you can pay for both halves. So to cast both Ready and Willing, you need a total of 2WBG (1WG for Ready, 1WB for willing). If you cast it this way, you do the left side first, so Ready goes first, followed by willing. Did that help?
Make a crap ton of shivan dragons abd beat them down. Or braingeyser them to draw out. Or many other ping effects. It a toolbox with many things. Not just a single win condition.

Makes me want to read the novels now but really shows hiw effective the commanders quarters is at brand engagement
People always were negative around here when I would talk about how they never made a card for the first Planeswalker.

@@RaginKavu Thanks, that's been my plan. Some friends already were playing commander so started with one of the AFR precons.
@@johnrogers1752 we don't even know who the first planeswalker was, the earliest we know of is wherever urzas spark came from
You've done it again! Psychosis Crawler ($0.58 Artifact Creature) does: Whenever you draw a card, each opponent loses 1 life. I plan on adding it.
I had almost all the cards laying around and just pulled him from a booster - just HAD to built it. I just love solid & budget friendly decks. Tweaked it a bit around but still about untapping a lot. Keep up the good work!
Love the idea

decklist?
haha thats hilarious! Do you have a decklist? :D
(chanting) DECK LIST DECK LIST DECK LIST
Seriously, list??
Nice build! Well done Mitch! Going to try to use some of those synergies in my Garth treasure tribal deck. Energy Arc is a spicy card! 😁
Not gonna lie, but the bridge lands from MH2 are real hype. I love how it's a duel-color indestructible artifact land in common rarity
put in amulet of vigor and they come in untapped...so untapped duals after turn 1???
I was overwhelmed with the possibilities for Garth, but this deck list feels sweet. In my Garth deck I have a bunch of tap-destroy effects like Visara the dreadful and Mangara of Corondor, but I really enjoy this list and will use it to update mine.
Looks like a fun deck, with some very involved turns.
Everything about this video is an inspiration. And those proxies!!! 😍

Big fan of Garth from the old days, glad to see the deck contained a lot of early magic staples like Wild Growth and Ley Druid.
Thanks Mitch my son has been looking to do a Garth deck.
Be right back. Building this deck right now!
Teleportation Circle should be in this deck. Blink a creature (Garth) at the end of turn and reset him every turn? Yes please.
My pod at commander night at my lgs got blown up by this deck and it was by far the cheapest deck at the table. So now I’m building it because it looks like a blast to pilot.

Kelpie Guy!
I feel like I summoned this video into existence I just pulled a foil Garth and was looking for ideas on how to build around him!
It's clickbait, but knowing Mitch it's legit clickbait
Until it isn’t.
Party on Garth! !
5:51 kelpie guy !

Hey Mitch. I love your videos!
Cheers from Brazil.
This is amazing. How about a break the bank version of this deck?
I would love to see that
That'd be sick
Please
Just add Staff Of Domination

Your Shivan dragon and "Terror" tokens are so cute!! 😍😍 I love them
Should add Curiosity for the combo with Niv
Nice! Plargg is the commander for one of my decks. Underrated card tbh
Party on Mitch!
Wow, I think I might just build this deck!
I see as a way to close the games heartless hitetsugu. Tap him 3 times and life goes from 40 to 5. Then it is easy
I was looking into this sort of deck but with Kenrith as commander and utilitizing Intruders Alarm with creature lands and token generators
Hey Mitch, what's that tool you're using near the end of the video showing prices? I wanna check it out to see if it gives the same kind of numbers that i get when i go directly on tcgplayer.

Good question! It's just the deckbuilder on scryfall.com
@@TheCommandersQuarters Thanks!
Also as a bonus, when you play this deck you get to say "you just got garthed" when you win a game

(6 Abilities)
I haven’t finished the vid yet but Augusta, Dean of Order would be a good one to have.
Your proxy cards could be the next secret lair
PARTY ON GARTH
The Proxies are everything. I Want those! 😁
Should adding Riptide laboratory .21 cent land on tcgplayer. Land with pay one and a blue tap: return wizard to your hand. Garth is a wizard.
I drew out my black lotus as a robber stealing Mana from A planeswalker.
The dragon proxy tho... adorable
Looks like a deck that's going to play with it's self a lot. Basically build your own paradox engine.
You should put all cards in the description so that people can more easily look them up and buy them without having to rewind and pause the video on every card
im totally building this. and naming it party on Garth
watched the video and still not sure what it does. i think its implying that you can win almost any way you want. mill, ping, combat, etc. i dont have a garth yet but ill see what he can do.
Mitch you make me feel old by reminding me there are magic players too young to remember Wayne's world...
Same goes for To Catch a Predator.
Mitch’s favorite adjective is absurd

Great deck tech!
Excellent deck. This is likely one of the more entertaining 5-color commanders to brew.
Oh wow I just ordered this card thanks
Would mistmeadow witch be better than one of the flick spells?
Another way to keep in untapping your enchanted land for free is with ‘Urban Burgeoning’
Your drawn tokens look great!
If you flicker or bounce and recast Garth, he will have summoning sickness? You won't beable to get an additional activation
Yea, you need to give him haste to use him immediately but the benefit of blinking him is A) protecting him from targeted removal, and more importantly B) resetting him, since if he leaves the battlefield then returns he is treated as a new object and "forgets" anything he already did.
I feel like anoiner priest a d anointed procession would be pretty good options as well with extra token generation and life gain
Who doesn't want multiple lotuses and shivans
You have to blink garth to choose the same copy of a card so this deck needs Deadeye Navigator no matter what
Thassa2, teleportation circle, conjurers closet... deadeye is cheese
@@DJBVWA I run garth as combo so you need Infinite mana you can't achieve that without blinking garth
@@jovonizuidema5843 Freed from the Real or Pemmin's Aura on a land untapper and untap a land that generates multiple mana.
Yo Mitch, you gotta break the bank on this thing!
does nobody in your pod run wrath effects? it feels like this deck is liable to get stuck with 5 untap effects in your hand and no board
Mitch’s tokens are beautiful. I’d buy
Just built Garth one-eye(d) wurm tribal
No chromatic lantern for the Shivan Dragans?
10/10 tokens. Amazing.
I wonder if making this deck with Golos at the helm would be good with all that mana... how many activations do you think you could realistically get generating all that mana...
Since I pulled Garth as my MH2 prerelease card, I am obligated to make this deck.
This deck looks very cool and have always wanted to build around home but how does this win. I feel like I should know but I can’t seem to figure it out.
Fun!
Bought out my lgs with all the black lotus i have made with him
Cool
Hey wouldn't Endless Swarm be good in this?
Are you kidding me I JUSt built this deck
Keep calm and party on.
i love garth. he is my "boop" deck commander cause... why not?
Make sure to add Willbreaker
PARTY TIME EXCELLENT!!!
Party on Wayne!
How weird would it be to swap out Garth for Golos?
Reality spasm would be better than distorting wake I think
What about Villainous Wealth??
I think I fought this deck on MTGO today. To be honest wouldnt be the first deck I have fought from the channel lol
Lol I picked up his sarulf deck on mtgo and proceeded to annoy the balls out of everyone lmao
Good work on that one Mitch! Lol
But how exactly does it win? draw and kill them all with niv?
Party on Wayne 🤘🤘
With the card ready willing. When casting is it one side or can you cast both parts if you have enough mana. These cards are new to me
Okay so most split cards like Fire // Ice are "you can only cast one half of the card". However there are split cards with Fuse (like say...Ready // Willing). Wit these cards when you cast it *from your hand* you may cast both halves if you can pay for both halves.

Yep!
