Pretty surprised that Voja didn't make this list, it's a pretty popular and powerful commander.
Shhhhh lol just a good wolfy boy
I run a fairly budget voja, no counter doublers (primal vigor/doubling season, etc) and its still never not popped off.
@krislisancho2852 I feel like you just need to run elfball and low to the ground, play turn 3 Voja, and swing. It's pretty much mono green that also gives you an excuse to play white and red, I can't see how you wouldn't pop off with it.
@@ericyang8474 never not popped off. Reading the card explains the card
Where would voja place you think?
This mans tribal hate prevents him from seeing some of these commanders for how good they are
I’ll never understand why people hate tribal, it’s always been my absolute favorite and mechanic wise makes the most sense lol like you have a commander that related to its entire army 🤷🏼♂️
@@stromboliolie8762for me it’s just too easy and too linear, I started learning commander with tribal and every time I try and build a tribal deck I dismantle it because it’s too simple and too linear. Krenko or Winota would be the only exception.
kovold and azlask are tribal
Some people hate tribal because it can feel underpowered sometimes when you’re playing it yourself for example the ur dragon is a really expensive card in most of my casual commander battles it just feels to slow to play anything usefull cause all the dragons are just to expensive even with the 1 mana reduction (it also is mainly cause some people have different experiences with certain decks)
P.S. i think that most tribal decks that are decently tuned to each other are very powerfully but ones that are made without a specific purpose wont be as strong as deck with with one
Double P.S. i know this is general but i just wanted to point this out 😅
Seriously bro. Edgar markov and Kaalia are still 2 of the most busted ass commanders when built right and can still win cedh tourneys consistently. They’re both S tier. High A at MINIMUM. Putting them in B is the most ignorant bs ever😂 also the necrobloom in B tier??? He has no clue how cracked this commander is.
No way in HELL is it worse then that ninjitsu commander😂 cheating commander tax is not even close to as busted as what the necrobloom can do. Mothman in C? Lmao this whole list is so bad.
You really need to start using timestamps.
2:31 azlask is a lot more scary when you realize that you can proliferate experience counters
oh shit youre right lol. this video made me re-evaluate ulalek going infinite vs azlask threat.
Azlask can go infinite, too.
and using cards like Najeela and Maskwood Nexus, he is crazy
Can't you also throw in other payoffs and generators for experience counters like ezuri claw of progress and the like?
@@bronbust4797
Absolutely! Kamena and Otthari go hard in Azlask
I still can’t wrap my head around how Nadu got printed. Did they just not playtest it? Like lmao what happened
It's simply Hasbro's greed that led them to release Nadu.
in a world where akromas will and inquisid blood are in precons, they have to print like this..
The best part of nadu is how many ways they could have fixed it by changing 1 word.
Who cares? he’s pretty fair in cedh decks and should be treated like all the other powerful commanders such as narset in anything below cedh.
WOTC just forgot that equipment targets when playtesting I think
Pantlaza in a blink theme is probably an A tier commander
Cream of the crop makes this deck crazy
Dang that's nasty going to scoop that haha
Yea gotta agree here. That card just a repeating 2 for one
Shhh, dont tell people the secret tech of winning the turn you cast pantlaza thats not 95 lands
Especially when you have roaming throne on board you can just double the discover
Kalia says “that opponent” because it is specifying that it has to attack the opponent the triggering creature is attacking. It can’t come into play attacking any opponent.
Kaalia is limited in that it's prevented from it's summon effect triggering if you swing at a planeswalker or a battle.
Planeswalker yes but battles were not around yet when it came out
If u are running battles in your kaalia deck then it is your deckbuilding problem lol
Also when you’re playing multiplayer it targets that opponent and you can’t use it towards another player?
Can confirm Mothman is dope. I haven't touched my precon and it consistently wins against tuned and mid-tier decks
Pantlaza is easily S tier if you build it right. Deck is just too OP with blink theme and a few combo pieces
What are the best combo pieces?
i focused my sun flavoured deck solely around cheating them out, but added what i could to blink. deck's so fun
@@lollyblaster I know, I love the deck. Already has a reputation in my pod. They joke every turn past turn 3 is just another problem that has to be dealt with asap.
What are the best blink pieces?
ya idk about s tier my guy your competing with decks that infinite turn 3-4
I am so surprised you put Ulalek as a B..
Last night I managed to dish out 208 damage in a single turn 😂
Imo Ur Dragon, Edgar Markov and Atraxa is at least A
crazy how
3 pretty OLD commanders
ARE STILL SUPER O.P. AND PRESENT !!!
I think you are vastly underrating Omo. Very easy to get her out turn 2. Everything tokens don't go away when Omo dies, using a Maze's End strategy easy turn 5 win. You said she needs a lot of setup, my experience is that she is very flexible.
This is just my opinion, but:
-Sauron, Ur-Dragon, and Miirym are A tier imo.
Sauron is not only great colors for reanimator, but also makes a token that's great for sacrifice effects and probably one the craziest ward ability to protect him.
The Ur-Dragon is a lot of mana, but just by being your commander, it discounts any and all of your dragons. Dragons are very well supported and being able to choose the best ones at a permanent discount is quite strong. It's only held back because of the double-edged sword of being a WUBRG commander.
Miirym doesn't have as much to work with, but is similarly strong due to being able to double the value of any dragon you play and having ward is a significant factor. It might actually be B tier, but it competes with Ur Dragon often, so I'd just put them together.
-Pantlaza, Zhulodok, Kaalia, and Mothman are B tier imo.
Pantlaza is pretty good at ramping into other combo pieces, ramp, or into your important dinosaurs. Similar to the Ur-Dragon, Pantlaza is great because Dinosaurs are a strong and well supported tribe, so its quite easy to swing things in your favor.
Zhulodok does have the disadvantage of being colorless... but colorless is actually really easy to ramp, and that's exactly what he wants you to do. Don't underestimate Cascade.
Kaalia being able to cheat in the best of the main big creatures in each of her colors is stupid good. The main thing holding her back, though, is that everyone knows this, and she needs a lot of help to stay on the board.
Mothman is probably a little biased on my part, but I cannot stress enough how often I've seen players underestimate rad counters. And how often players think this commander sucks because they built it as a "win through mill" deck but forget to include payoffs like sidisi. It's also the best mill colors imo.
Stella has been a fun change up. A lot of my pod thought she focused on storming until I got the perfect turn 5 Twisted fealty loop. It’s a nice change of pace from the Cold War my Zaxara deck would have with the Ur-dragon player
Is your pod focused on high power? I only read people on Reddit saying that they are not a fan of the Stella Lee combos.
@@ThaMobstarr we end at 7. Stella pushes what they will tolerate, and it’s made acceptable by me not running tutors
Necrobloom can be an easy A tier honestly.
Landfall is strong. Add in a way to add extra draw and dredge lands you want.
Entomb would be strong in it i feel. Cultivator collosuss, avenger of zendikar, scuteswarm. Etc.
I have played against a Satya and it plays better than it reads with a well built deck. Not being able to interact with enregy sucks.
Gonna have to disagree with you assessment of Omo. With the everything counters and tron lands it's SUPER easy to get your mana pool set up, and with the mana reflection enchantment that's also in the precon you're tapping them for 6 colorless. Omo has you practically swimming in mana which makes those big hydras even more scary.
Last game I played with her ended with 18x 18/18 hydras on the board. Omo goes hard as a commander.
I played a game against an Omo precon and it won turn 6 with 8 lands. Ulvenwald Hydra turn 4, into Aggressive Biomancy turn 5, nuked the board, swung out turn 6 with 7 8/8s. (It was a 3 player pod)
@@Xonides Yeah dude, the deck ramps out SO quick with Omo just pecking away to everything tokens. You can get truly massive creatures out in no time at all. First time I played with the deck I slapped down a 21/20 Nyxborne Hydra that brough with it 18x 18/18 hydra tokens.
Omo has no protection at all and after it is removed, the everything counters lose all functionality. Yes, if you play it in a casual pod with low power level, where no one plays removal, Omo goes crazy like every Simic Commander.
Almost all youtubers and reviewers I've seen underestimate Omo until they play them.
@@Xonides How did it get to 7 8/8s? Assuming 6 lands going into to turn 4, which becomes 8 after Ulvenwald Hydra's ETB and the land drop for the turn, that'd mean 8 or maybe 9 mana in turn 5 for Aggressive Biomancy, which would create 3 tokes, but not 6, bcause the card's cost is XXGB.
With the Hydra's copies' ETBs and a land drop that'd be somewhere around 13 lands for turn 6 and swinging with 4 13/13s then?
You know that you are the Threat if you do politics with your Opponents lands in Satya Decks, with land destruction
I have no idea how veryran is just slept on by everyone
Yes. Thats my gurl. She is too fun to play
Seeing a lot of these commanders ranked as B is so crazy. Just goes to show how fast/strong Stella and Nadu are. I built Stella and winning turn four is considered slow for the deck.
Maybe my friend you have built a cedh deck there
@@Breadcutter Stella and Nadu definitely earned their spots at the cEDH table because of how fast they can pull your entire deck out.
Edgar markov and kaalia are both better than Stella when built right and that’s just a fact. This list is so wrong. Yes Stella IS cracked but not more cracked than them lol.
@@evangrescol7772yes bro I agree. Although kaalia and Edgar are still S tier and still win cedh tourneys to this day. Them being in B is total cap. Also the necrobloom is easily an A or S tier commander not B.
@@hatchell18Then why is Stella built in cedh but no Kaalia or Markov?
cedh is for the strongest decks, stella lee is a cedh deck, the others arent.
Kaalia and Edgar Markov are still INCREDIBLY powerful. They can blitz so quickly.
Nadu good job wotc nice job with the play testing as well how is Nadu not a mythic
What would being Mythic have changed? Just the number of Nadu's out there.
Buy as many copies as possible!
Ulalek should be a tad bit higher because you can use eldrazi instants after you use his ability for the previous spell and us his ability again and it will copy the previous spell a second time.
Hard to take this seriously when he says Edgar Markov and Ulalek are B-tier commanders.
Edgar used to be S tier not too long ago and this comment reaks of I'm mad my best deck didn't make it and although it's good I recommend you play against a tuned nadu deck to get with the time and realize how mid he is today
they are. I could beat them in 2 turns with a full powered rogsi deck.
Love seeing Dino commander decks. My only deck that keeps me interested in MTG at all anymore.
Ulalek under azlask is wild. A good ulalek will obliterate aslask before you can accrue any experience tokens
Also- three words, Kaalia land destruction. Your pod is too nice to you 🤣
I think your ranking might be okay in a vacuum. However when it comes to powerlevel of a commander i think it is necessary to also keep in mind the Environment they operate in. In terms of cEDH for example where is Kinnaan or Sisay?
In terms of casual edh those commanders listed might be the topnotch but then again it does not evaluate things like budget requirements (Ur-Dragon) or available pieces of synergy (Kadena was horroable 2019 but does now see more and more play in competitive edh).
So yeah its a fun thing to durdle around with and thank you for all the work done in this video!
Why is Kadena competitive now?
Miirym and ur dragon are S tier. Theres zero doubt abt that
Kaalia specifically states "attacking that opponent" meaning the new creature must attack her target and can't be split off to attack something else. It is a niche thing because generally you swing everything at a single target but it could make a difference if you were going to overkill a Planeswalker and wanted your new creature to swing at the player this would stop you from doing that.
Ran my Azlask today a few times. Got set up super fast each time. 5+ experience counters. Soon as I used his ability it basically ruined the person I attacked after just once.
that's annihilator. It's like torturing a person. You take them down, piece by piece until they are left with nothing, but they are still alive.
I think you are largely underestimating Satya and Omo... Satya is basically a Miirym that works for every creature type (including dragons) and costs less (and that can make mutiple copies of the same creature over different turns, making some creatures snowball pretty easily). You can also abuse "leaves the battlefield" or "gets killed" triggers by just not paying the cost at the end, and you almost always have enough energy to keep copies if you play it right.
Also, Omo shenigans give you massive mana advantage and other type combos make it very strong.
Pantlaza in C even in a powerful card specific ranking feels wrong. I’ve got an intentionally slowed down version of a 🦖 deck that’s still devastating with Pantlaza at the front.
He went off the text of the cards, not how they actually played. Pantlaza should be is an S/A -tier commander.
The channel has sadly become somewhat of an outrage/drama sub. That's why he does such things, to stir up controversy and discussions under his videos to let them trend more and show up in more people's frontpage.
Depending on how you build your deck with korvold he is just so strong you can build him voltron but drain and treasure is just the better option
I've just found is so expensive to make Korvold works great.
Kaalia's text reads "tapped and attacking that opponent" because if the match is multiplayer you could choose to have the cheated creature attack another opponent if it did not
Would you prefer Pantlaza or Gishath for Dinosaur Tribal? I like to think that while Pantlaza is a more safe option, Gishath has a higher ceiling if it manages to hit.
I'd say Gishath is more straight forward, Pantlaza has a higher ceiling. Gishath will run more ramp and combat tricks, Pantlaza wants to emphatize more on etbs (blink, flash, burn). I ran dinos with Gishath at the helm and now Pantlaza pilots the deck. They are both very fun, my only issue with having 8 mana in the command zone is that it can be frustrating to get started.
Pantlaza give u way more value, the deck runs on its own gisath you hit people. Pantalza when u remove her she comes back and ahs à trigger, gisath again needs to connect, gisath is much more commander centric
@@remyremz6639 fair enough, at least both goes very well on each other's deck. I might give Pantlaza a try as the commander of my Dino tribal Deck. The quantity of High quality dinos is astonishing with the support they got un the latest sets! 🦖
Gishath is personally my tribal commander. All about getting them dinosaurs out to attack.
As a pantlaza player, with a deck full of huge and impactful dinos, as well as a very heavy ramp package that allows for multiple heavy spells a turn, Id pick pantlaza over gishath any day because it racks me up much more value in the long run on top of making my choices more versatile with being allowed to put a spell I don't wish to cast in that moment to my hand. You're more likely to wiff off of gishath then you ever will with pantlaza.
I usually switch out my Korvold for Ziatora or Prossh depending on my pod strength. Hes just…ugh so good lmao. I cant believe all the treasure support that’s been coming out one after another.
The 'attacks an opponent' language on kaalia is because the later language about the angel/dragon/demon that comes into the field. Specifically it's to remove any ambiguity about which opponent is being attacked by that new creature.
Edgar Markov oughta be an A. It's so damn fast.
He sure is
Agreed!
pantlaza in c is wild, dinos is an already powerful tribal filled with cheating out dinos for free. pantlaza allows you to double your value and even search out specific cards depending on how the deck is build, its fairly common to scum out a creature with 10 toughness and immediately discover into gishath or some other large dino, this plus everything having trample makes pantlaza pretty powerful. the only limitation is once per turn and that hes a 5 drop, but i would definitely not put him below kalia or even kiriko.
Kaahlia at C tier is a joke Mitch 😂 outside of that I largely agree with this
I can say that pantlaza and miirym are for sure at least b if not a tier at base. i play them, and i gotta say they get slept on HEAVILY, and if you overlook me, one turn to late than its over and ive won
Kaalia attacks that opponent and not any other opponent including players. Tapped and attacking could swing at another person. Kaalia can swing at an opponent's planeswalker I believe because you select the planeswalker after the opponent
Pantlaza not being S tier is wild it can run out the entire deck just like korvold can
Awesome video!
Agree with most of this
I’d make these changes:
Edgar- S
Miirym, Kaalia, Atraxa- A
Azlask - B
I'd put Kaalia B. She's easy to interact with and spot remove. Also odds are with your opening hand, you don't have a way to refill your hand. She's very good in a glass cannon but falls short in a 4 person pod
Kaalia is usually a combo deck with a good stuff fallback plan, not a tribal list
What about Najeela the Blade Blossom she has a lot of combo potential and can really be fun!
surprised azlask is below ulalek. ulalek introduces insane infinite combos with eldrazis with flash, and any instant that bounces. ulalek is also much easier to utilize in my opinion but its cool to see azlask receiving praise
I would've tiered them up the same. Although half the commanders in B tier I feel CAN fall in a spot between A&S because well... because mid range. 😂
Hakbal won against Edgar Markov, Lathril and alela in a tribal game i recently put together. Pantlaza still feels like my most powerful deck though.
Satya and phasing out the tokens can/ could be broken if done right (phasing out doesn't kill tokens)
Atraxa is one of the top cEDH commanders... How is it B tier?
Because it is not the same Atraxa, the video mention praetor's voice, the top cEDH is Atraxa, Grand unifier
@@Krozice oh dang I didn't realize that. You're totally right homie 🤙 my bad
“THAT opponent” prevents you from splitting attacks to other opponents
tapped and attacking THAT opponent. if you're in a 4 person pod, it makes a difference!
Good, good. Keep underestimating Zhulodok. All going according to keikaku.
Zhulodok is very powerful when it can snowball. But it need to work on the next turn if you have 7 mana spell ready in your hand. Unlike others commander that accererate the turn they enter.
Where would Talion stand? Any thoughts?
Me over here with my Locust God and fresh built Ramos 😅
You know I’ve been testing getting out Talion out before Nadu and I always choose 1 lol it makes everything awkward I guess. Idk 😅maybe I’m just not that good to understand why they tend to slow down after I choose 1
I have some (hopefully) constructive criticism. I notice when you read the commander's text, you rush through it as fast as you can talk, as if you're thinking "I know this is boring and you don't wanna hear me read this, audience; lemme just read it fast so the new guys can get it." Well, I'm a new guy. I don't know what most of these commander's text is. I wanna hear it, that's part of the informational value of the video - in order to understand these commanders, I have to understand what they do, and reading cards is part of the game. Here's my main problem - when you read fast, you almost completely stop enunciating. You mumble heavily, and I can't understand what you're saying. So the experienced guys still have to wait while you read the commander's text for anyone who doesn't know it, but people like me can't really make out what you're saying (I assume I'm not alone). So, it doesn't really help either group. And I gotta pause and look at the screen to read the card. Can you still enunciate the words clearly while you read fast? Or, alternately, can you slow it down enough that you're able to maintain enunciation so we can make out what you're saying? Thank you!
Totally agree. I find myself pausing a ton when watching their videos, everything seems very rushed.
Cant agree with omo, the big point is not that a creature becomes every creature type but that lands become every land type!
Miirym is def A tier. It doesn't take long to get mana rocks out. Especially with Sol Ring. You could pop her out like turn 4 easy. Start copying and populating. It's nuts
You put Mothman on C tier and Korvold in S tier when they do the same exact thing besides allowing you to draw cards. Instead of drawing cards you can just make your opponents mill and make MULTIPLE creatures stronger. Not to mention the mana you need to bring Korvold out. Not to mention the more rad counters you have, you can potentially heal yourself while your opponents lose health with each creature mill. This is definitely bias or you haven't played Mothman.
When you go against a treasure abusing korvold deck... i got hit with a 47/47 korvold turn 6
@@JohnDoe-wg5pe What does that have to do with what I said? I didn't say Korvold was bad but to put Mothman at C while Korvold at S??? Literally, Korvold can only put the counters on himself while Mothman can put it on anyone he wants. I've had plus 20 on more than two creatures and add him with Thrummingbird it's double the counters.
I dont know man. Satya is vastly under-rated in my personal experience. It does so many things, and it can always does the thing it needs. That commander summons the Heart of The Cards Yu-Gi-Oh style on me like every single time.
I play my $400 Anje Falkenrath against it, with Worldgorger in the graveyard, 3 win cons in hand, and just searching for that last Animator piece, guess what Satya does? ON TURN 4, goes infinite. THE PRECON GOES INFINITE. Man, I wish I remembered the combo my fiance used on me. I play my 600 buck Krenko against it? Guess what it does? That Roc card taps Krenko before i can activate it.
That deck sucks, and im traumatized. Its the best out of the bundle. Izzet is it. Its a monster. And it keeps things it copies so easily. It literally does everything. It has dat energy definitely.
My Eldrazi's may stand a chance, eventually after upgrading, but ive only won once with it stock. Omo is a beast too. But i feel like its more "HIT ME WITH THAT SPELL, DADDY", than the Satya deck. Cause Satya is so synergistic it's hard to find the actual thing to destroy thats gonna be the most beneficial. It does (actually) everything better than Omo can give "everything" counters to stuff.
I think shes cheating...
Satya slaps actually. I threw 15 good stuff cards in the deck and its 6-0 with my group
For kaalia it's that opponent not just an opponent so you can't cheat in a card and attack someone else
Galadriel, light of valinor is pretty nuts too.
Massively agree, people sleep on it because they think it’s just elf ball
Atraxa not in s tier????
What do you think about volrath? Is it good?
crazy that Wizards admitted to not playtesting their product with Nadu. wtf is that all about
Nadu out here comboing with a ham sandwich
No Dihada Binder of wills?
Personally I think Ur-Dragon is S and Miirym is A due to all the cost reductions you can get for these dragons.
Is Urza mono blue still relevant?
Edgar markov and kaalia being in B tier is total cap lol. They’re still S tier commanders and a kaalia deck just won a huge tourney a few months ago.
Edgar markovs eminence ability is still way more busted then the commanders you placed in A tier. Also the necrobloom only in B?? It’s A tier at minimum compared to the rest on this list.
Kaalia has never won a cedh tournament with more then 60 players in it. wtf r u on.
@@lazarlazarteam1033 kaalia was 100 percent a tier when she came out and did win multiple big tournaments. Even know she’s still busted and won a major tourney in 2023. If you don’t want to call her a s tier anymore I’d be willing to give her A tier. But B tier? Hell no that’s 100 percent bullshit period, end of discussion.
@@lazarlazarteam1033 also the number of players doesn’t mean shit. She’s won multiple big cedh tournaments that’s a fact so educate yourself
Thanks appreciate all the videos you do.
Edgar and ur dragon are way too low.
There is no way pantlaza is c tier. I have smoke checked so many decks with dinos. They either immediately have answers or they die. There is no in between.
Yeah that deck slaps, simple but works very well
Disagree on Atraxa, but I admit it isn’t S tier either. Probably A tier. Again, it just depends on how you build it.
I don't think I've ever disagreed with a tier-list more in my life lol.
In my opinion Arna Kennerud skycaptain, should be there
I really hate playing brawl on arena now. Powerlevel has gotten so high and cheap cards (3 mana) are so incredibly powerful that none of my old decks can play anymore. Im out.
In no world EVER is Stella Lee above Nadu, who was the top 4 in a tournament. Not like, in the top 4, btw, THE TOP 4.
I agree with everything except ur I think its better than atraxa by far id put atraxa on C
Looking at this list tells me that you really need to get out and play some more.
Edgar at B tier bro?come on man.
thanks for stellar content
I was hoping to see Herigast here
How is urza not on the list
How is ur dragon a c tier
Omo and maze's end lol
the gap between casual and cedh are way to close.
miirym at B is crazy. A tier minimum
Nadu is way stronger then Stella Lee in cedh wtf r u cooking.
Nadu is a top 5 deck. Stella maybe cracks top 25.
Stella Lee club... Several combos. Twinflame and dual caster is real fun. Others Narset Days Undoing basics and some few lines to do the job.
As I weep into my $800 Omo deck.
A player thinking Yuriko is only A Tier is a player that never played against Yuriko. Yes Stellar Lee is faster, but way easier to control than Yuriko.
Edit: Ok, watched the tierlist to the end, holy shit this is a mess. 🤣
You are not wrong at all
No Sidar? 😢
Pantlaza should be way higher.
Miirym is absolutely better then the Eldrazis
