11:09 small commander tip: if you need to exile cards from graveyard and your commander dies, instead of returning it to command zone you can let it die and exile it first
This is basically the same as vintage cube, except the cube is all the magic cards that exist. At least that's what it feels like to me when I play this format.
“This deck has not failed me yet, despite my best efforts!” I swear LSV has the best one liners out of any content creator. His big brain is the freestyle king
Love your videos LSV! Congrats on the twins! Little commander tip: At 10:20 you can let your commander go to the graveyard and then exile it with lavamancer to put it in the command zone. It's specially important in underworld breach lines and wasn't really relevant this game. But it's a good one to know as a magic player 😊
Hey LSV, you moved the webcam overlay up during the Ultimate Guard livestream with BK to accommodate that broadcast's camera angle, but now that we're back on MTGO recordings, having it up higher has been obscuring the board state at times.
If you love this format, you'll want to keep an eye on Relic Fest, largest duel commander event ever taking place this weekend in France ! Maybe you'll find some spicy decklists ^^
Watching you play misdirection reminds me of my first jss back in 2000. Top 8 I’m on acc blue and playing against rebels. I played 1 main deck misdirection and it really crushed souls back then. Turn 3 I go to treachery their rebel while they had mom online. They tap mom to give rebel pro blue while I misdirect the treachery to mom. I totally played it off like I made a mistake forgetting about mom on board. He calls judge and they scratch their head because it was never seen before back then. I won the ruling and proceeded beating rebels which was one of the worst matchups for acc blue back then!!! Ended up going undefeated with over 115 kids playing. One of my mtg highs. I didn’t get to go to Florida for the championship because of course I’m a kid with no money, but it was a great time winning boxes and a scholarship.
Duel Commander is a real nice Format, feels a little like kind of the best out of legacy and EDH. Tough maybe in that concern maybe Canadian Highlander would be the sickest. I actually have a Duel Commander Deck with like all of the big creatures out of your Cube for flash sneak breach :)) Some wubrg Omnath Pile :D
Really been loving the DC content. Wondering why no Gush or Ponder, seems like those would be good in this deck, I'm guessing same reason there was no brainstorm?
19:30 an option here (not necessarily a good one?) is to throw out Brazen Borrower and/or Galvanic Discharge, let Mom give protection from the spell, then misdirect your *own* spell to the other unprotected creature
Shout out for some nostalgia ! PT Oath of the gate watch round 14 LSV digs and top decks GutShot to put an arrow through Frank LePore' s heart when he is at 1 life !! Great match worth a you tube watch If you have not seen it ....
No, but that's why he mentioned doing it after blocks. If they wait until he blocks Barrowgoyf with True-Name and then Stomp _him,_ all damage prevention is stopped for the turn so TNN dies to combat damage.
There are commander exclusive free spells like deflecting swat and fierce guardianship that are free with your commander out. With a 2 mana commander that is broken. I believe misdirection can stop counterspells as well and when you had it in hand and got mana tithed I believe misdirection could have taken the target and let your spell resolve. Deflecting swat I suggested works the same way but doesn’t require you to exile anything.
deflecting swat and fierce guardianship are both banned in duel commander, for better or worse lol. Free countermagic with nearly no downside is pretty good.
I don't understand why can't there be a sideboard in this format? Original EDH rules had a 10 card singleton sideboard, but it wasn't really used due to the casual nature of the format, but in this more competitive one it would fit perfectly.
The Commitee thinks it would take too long and be a problem in tournaments. I disagree and think it would be better in the long run, but it would also change the format drastically at this point.
The only sideboard possible is changing the commander with an other from your 99 cards deck. If your commander is 5c Niv you could change for sliver queen but not Nicol bolas for ex. Mono colored or dual have easier for that. But the main reason there are no SB is just time. In paper duel commander tournament round are 50 minutes usually. There's so much wasting time during game due to searching/shuffling big size deck that doing 2-3 game is really hard now imagine SB between each games... The worst I had once was 5c Niv vs my friend 5c niv. We had to draw after 50 minutes+extra turns doing 1 game. And we were not slow players lol... 😅
I also added Misdirection to my deck recently and it never seems to work for me either. But the card is obviously amazing vs the plentiful removal and counter wars in the format. It always seems like it's Solitude or Fury or Touch the Spirit Realm and it drives me crazy..
It's pretty strong as a DnT style control deck, but your answers have to align well and DnT doesn't have to factor commanders. Most DC seems to be "cheap card advantage in the command zone and 20+ removal spells" so I'd imagine the gameplay is worse.
I’ve been playing a little, and I have trouble with Phelia opponents. They get nasty initiative loops with White Plume Adventurer and Seasoned Dungeoneer. Edit to add: my deck is a The First Sliver cascade homebrew, so it’s not fast but it eventually snowballs a lot of value.
Not the best showing for misdirection... some kind of sweeper for tokens and other emergencies could be okay maybe... rough//tumble? just a thought. Format looks kinda cool
Because you are a warrior, try to play sythis, insane combo enchantment deck, rly competitive, it would be something to see u playing that And it looks like very different to what u are use to play
"Vista" is originally a Spanish word and thus would be pronounced "veesta" - it has also often been incorporated into English and is commonly pronounced with the short "i" instead. Essentially, both are acceptable pronunciations.
Any competitive highlander format (7ph, Canadian, European) would be great to see! But I doubt he'll play anything that isn't officially in mtgo or arena. Maybe once Gladiator (hopefully) one day comes to arena LSV will try that but the collection/wildcard thing might be a problem. Edit: Well obviously he plays cubes on mtgo that aren't featured there but I believe it's a different case for highlander formats since he would have to search for opponents elsewhere
11:09 small commander tip: if you need to exile cards from graveyard and your commander dies, instead of returning it to command zone you can let it die and exile it first
As much as I love Vintage Cube, it’s refreshing to see another format being played!
This is basically the same as vintage cube, except the cube is all the magic cards that exist. At least that's what it feels like to me when I play this format.
“This deck has not failed me yet, despite my best efforts!” I swear LSV has the best one liners out of any content creator. His big brain is the freestyle king
22:32 appreciate the continuity of coming back in the same shirt, we might never have known if you didn't say
Keep the Duel Commander videos coming Luis, thank you! Would love to see you pilot Aragorn, King of Gondor.
Love your videos LSV! Congrats on the twins!

This was super cool. I play regular EDH in paper, but seeing 1v1 is a totally different perspective. I would definitely watch more of this!
Would love to see more Duel Commander! I think it'd be really cool to see a Niv-Mizzet Reborn list featured on the channel.
Singleton formats open up so much more experimentation, would love to see more of this.
I really love this format, you just get to play with the coolest cards. As an example a 6/4 true name nemesis is awesome
Next one.... Lurrus Companion
There is a list that play lurrus as a companion in duel commander
@@timothecourant8805 Mh3 Sorin is a nice one
@@ACRAK24 i was thinking of a lady for BW with ward and that explore when you gain lofe
I like how duel commander has a really large card pool, keeps the games fresh.
Man, and a second one ? Feeling blessed to see LSV experimenting with my favorite constructed format !
Hey LSV, you moved the webcam overlay up during the Ultimate Guard livestream with BK to accommodate that broadcast's camera angle, but now that we're back on MTGO recordings, having it up higher has been obscuring the board state at times.
Love dual commander videos!
Day four of asking lsv for a video of his personal collection, favorite cards and interactions
You’ve been heard - let me try and get that together next week
You're a legend! Long time fan and congrats on the additions to the fam
I wanna throw in one of my fav LSV moments: Breaking MODO with elesh norn / oblivion ring?!?!
Honestly man any content you make ill watch. I very much enjoyed this and would love to see more as long as you enjoy it
Thanks for the video. The format looks interesting.
I'm becoming kinda convinced that this format is, for better or worse, the future of Magic. And it seems pretty sweet!
i’m pretty sacred of regular commander becoming the only real format but the 1v1 isn’t so bad
@@BarginsGalore At least its competitive and we don't have to argue about power levels or "no mld no counters no combo no infinites" etc etc lol.
Love the duel commander videos, keep them coming!! I bet you would have a blast playing Magar of the Magic Strings
Don't get me wrong, vintage cube is awesome, but this is a totally fun format to watch!
Don't no if it too slow but eagle vision is nice
The Ral storm deck in this format looks perfect for LSV.
If you love this format, you'll want to keep an eye on Relic Fest, largest duel commander event ever taking place this weekend in France ! Maybe you'll find some spicy decklists ^^

Very neat format!
Big fan of the duel commander content
For some format I've never seen before it was an interesting watch.
I checked Channel Fireball's youtube and didn't see the league. Is it on the site behind a paywall or something?
Probably just haven't released it yet
Is there a benefit to playing snow lands or is it just why not play them if you can
Not sure if Skred is being run in this list, but it or Frost Bite would be my guess.
Really been loving the DC content. Wondering why no Gush or Ponder, seems like those would be good in this deck, I'm guessing same reason there was no brainstorm?
Love duel commander! Any chance you'll try out Phelia? It's my favorite deck, when you win with it, you feel like you really deserved the win.
19:30 an option here (not necessarily a good one?) is to throw out Brazen Borrower and/or Galvanic Discharge, let Mom give protection from the spell, then misdirect your *own* spell to the other unprotected creature
Tale’s End is a nice one too ❤
Super sweet format. I would love to see balloon man even tho he maybe isn’t in the power level of the format
Lsv would love play with Marchesa, dealer of death, has Commander. Grixis Control
He claims he took a break and that it’s multiple days later, but he’s wearing the same shirt, wake up SHEEPLE!
Shout out for some nostalgia ! PT Oath of the gate watch round 14 LSV digs and top decks GutShot to put an arrow through Frank LePore' s heart when he is at 1 life !! Great match worth a you tube watch If you have not seen it ....
Duel commander is nice. Would be nice to see you play Amalia Benavides Aguirre deck with Lurrus companion of course.
More duel commander please! Ertai please !
Love this diversity. What about MH3 sorin with Lurrus companion or Niv-Reborn with Jegantha companion?
Jegantha only makes a deck worse and there is zero reason to play sorin over amalia if one wants to play lurrus as companion
@francisfrancis2110 a little hyperbolic there I must say. But you do you
It’s almost like cube except you get to just hand pick all the cards in your deck lol
Can't target true name with stomp right?
you can't unfortunately, but it would take damage if you could!
No, but that's why he mentioned doing it after blocks. If they wait until he blocks Barrowgoyf with True-Name and then Stomp _him,_ all damage prevention is stopped for the turn so TNN dies to combat damage.
can we complete the quartet of blue/x duel commander lists, these are sweet

Because finding the cards to cut during sideboard takes à while in a 100 cards singleton deck.
The Commitee thinks it would take too long and be a problem in tournaments.

At risk of being a broken record, if you want singleton with a sideboard, Australian 7 Point Highlander is the format for you.
@@Arashekhoeurcommander swap is neat imo, but noone does it seemingly
I also added Misdirection to my deck recently and it never seems to work for me either. But the card is obviously amazing vs the plentiful removal and counter wars in the format. It always seems like it's Solitude or Fury or Touch the Spirit Realm and it drives me crazy..
arena cube is up this week, my hope is one day they just make it a permenant ranked thing
Why do the episodes come out an hour later now?
Can we get the decklist?
Love the video!!!
Lurrus as a commander or companion?
is Phelia very strong in Duel Commander? Because it’s not so strong in Brawl.
It's pretty strong as a DnT style control deck, but your answers have to align well and DnT doesn't have to factor commanders.
Most DC seems to be "cheap card advantage in the command zone and 20+ removal spells" so I'd imagine the gameplay is worse.

@@dementievatzyeah, I can see why initiative Commanders are good.
Bro slimefoot and squee's art looked just like atraxa to me shrunk down
sweet, yes more DC pls!
30:56 "Why do I hear boss music?"
great
This is cool and all but I'm really hoping to see some Arena cube while it's up
Not the best showing for misdirection... some kind of sweeper for tokens and other emergencies could be okay maybe... rough//tumble? just a thought. Format looks kinda cool
Aragorn? Maybe after twintime.
Because you are a warrior, try to play sythis, insane combo enchantment deck, rly competitive, it would be something to see u playing that
And it looks like very different to what u are use to play
Is prismatic vista pronounced VEESTA? I've noticed lsv always says that and I don't know why.
"Vista" is originally a Spanish word and thus would be pronounced "veesta" - it has also often been incorporated into English and is commonly pronounced with the short "i" instead. Essentially, both are acceptable pronunciations.
@@bricelory9534 Gotcha.
@@bricelory9534 Italian, not Spanish.
what do u yhink about the cedh ?
i am pretty sure lsv is not interested in none competitive formats, and no, cedh is not a competitve format ppl just desperately want it to be.
Not a fan of commander but I am sure I am the minority. I'll be back for Vintage!
Well lsv is also not a fan it is a very different formay
dc has basically nothing to do with commander that's probably why lsv likes the format
Why bounce Stomping Ground instead of drawing with Cryptic? It doesn’t change the clock.
LSV is now one commander (less) away from playing Canadian Highlander….. excellent
Brawl on Arena is also quite interesting. But its not ranked
I’m begging you to play that slimefoot and squee deck with etali in it
With your interest in Duel Commander, Vintage Cube and competitive formats, you should have a go at Australian 7 Point Highlander.
Any competitive highlander format (7ph, Canadian, European) would be great to see! But I doubt he'll play anything that isn't officially in mtgo or arena. Maybe once Gladiator (hopefully) one day comes to arena LSV will try that but the collection/wildcard thing might be a problem.
Edit: Well obviously he plays cubes on mtgo that aren't featured there but I believe it's a different case for highlander formats since he would have to search for opponents elsewhere
My vote for a commander to try is The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride. I've had a lot of fun with him in multiplayer.
dc isn't a casual format. The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride is unplayable in dc
No ponder or brainstorm in the og list is wild to me
You should check out Canadian highlander!
Canadian Highlander next please!
