      Because there's a big difference between:

      And

      "No, you don't."

      When wizards duel, I imagine them doing everything they can to stop their opponent. "I summon a big monster" "I zap your wand away, now what?"

      Definitely been better as of late, but I think overall, the same issues can come into play. On top of that, I think, because it's been such a more recent shift in color themes, boros can also feel like it has the most limited options for good commanders.
      Could also just be personal experience, so if you have suggestions for me to test out I'd love them!

    @icoolidge5194 Місяць тому

    I think the Boros criticism is a bit outdated. Especially with the card draw, Boros has access to *a lot* of card draw nowadays. There's impulse draw and looting from red, and there are a lot of shared draw (like Secret Rendezvous) and combat-based draw cards in white. Is it as good as black, blue, or green? No, but both colors have access to good card draw now, and not every card in your deck has to draw cards, so it doesn't particularly have the same problems it used to and that this video seems to imply it still does.

    White's issue is that most of it's best unique mechanics have been removed from the game.
    Protection is basically gone now and realistically, Ward should have replaced Protection instead of hexproof. Give them protection from a spell of a specific colour unless the caster pays extra mana instead of just generically letting them have protection from all spells.
    Banding is gone and it was a really good, if confusing mechanic.
    White is playing catch up with itself. The other colours are swapping the old mechanics so all colours can use them and the other 4 ae still getting new mechanics on top of it.

    27:05 counterpoint. You're falling into the trap a lot of players do when considering boros that you alone have to deal all the damage that will ever be dealt to all your opponents. Unless you're going up against three combo win decks, this just isn't ever going to be the case. Your opponents will be attacking each other during the game as well meaning every point of damage they do is a point of damage you don't have to do (basically, let them fight). The real struggle Boros has historically had is its lacking in both the ability to effectively ramp out more mana, which it usually does these days by relying on mana rocks and treasures, and drawing cards since they largely have to rely on either white's group hug style draw or red's impulse draw.
    This is why you see the popularity of commanders like Feather who turn cantrips into repeatable sources of card draw. Though my favorite is the kind of pseudo card advantage of General Ferrous Rokiric who is a bit more unusual playstyle asking you to play as many multi color cards as possible and giving you a really solid payoff for doing so

    - Ognis, the Dragon's Lash: Creatures with Haste and Treasure deck.
    Also, in regards to Gruul, I think a lot of people don't realize how flexible Gruul is in commander. Roxanne, Starfall Savant is probably my favorite deck as of typing this. She just provides so much ramp and removal and I can control the board very well in the early game.

    I think blue has a very unfair reputation. I certainly wouldn't say blue is the color of other people not getting to play the game at all. I'd say if I had to name one, it'd probably be White in general because its board wipes often hit everyone, it exiles your best creature so you can never get it back for one mana and can do that like three times a game, and its stax and tax effects are many. On a grand scale though it really depends on the commander and the player. In theory, a blue player can stop people from using their best cards, but there's the whole thing of, they're one person with a limited number of resources, and sometimes they counterspell somebody else's Cyclonic Rift, which the whole board will thank you for except that one guy. They can't stop everyone from playing the game, but they tend to be incentivized to not allow somebody to break away from the pack, which isn't bad.
    People who go "how dare you play blue" are usually just salty they didn't get to play their best card and immediately win. I see it as, would you rather someone use a counterspell or a board wipe? Blue only really has one good asymmetrical board wipe, and that's Cyclonic Rift, and that may be a great card, but it's also 7 mana worth of great card that you can't cheat, which is also vulnerable to a counterspell. Some of blue's better board clears are really good at stopping unstoppable players without annihilating everyone's board state, such as Filter Out bouncing all noncreature nonland permanents, which clears the treasure off the board and momentarily clears enchantments without taking them away forever, so it can be the least destructive color. Some of the most fun and creative commanders are at least partially blue.
    Simic (Blue/Green) is another matter. But I won't get to that.
    To blue's credit, blue is also the best color of evasive creatures that have flying or just straight up can't be blocked, and while they usually can't use strong creatures for that effect, it isn't off the table. Blue is a fun color even if you're not trying to ruin everybody's nice time. For a new player, the idea that you don't get to play your card this time might be frustrating, but once you get used to it, you start to admire the option to counter someone's spell before it becomes a problem rather than having to resort to a nuclear option that resets the board because we all had to just allow it to become a problem. Any color can become such a threat that they require that answer, and a savvy player knows how to construct a deck that has way more than one "oh shit it's that" card.
    New players get really mad when you take away one card, experienced players understand they have 100 cards.

    • @OOMTG

    • @DestructionAnnihilator
      @DestructionAnnihilator 2 місяці тому +3

      Hot take, I really would rather somebody board wipe. Instead of only making me suffer a little, it makes everyone suffer a lot. That's good for me because my opponents are no longer issues for a small duration. Asymmetric board wipes can be issues, but at least they say "destroy" instead of "exile" (because farewell almost never truly spares the caster; creatures are usually the issue).
      If my board gets dumpstered, that's a bit sad, but there are more win conditions and, most likely, an arch-enemy. If my big move to win gets countered, I need to shift to a new win condition while everybody knows that I am in a wonderful position to take the game. At this point, threat assessment will lead to my downfall. If it's a bounce counter, then everyone knows what I will try to do next turn. At best, nobody has an answer and I win. At worst, I am immediately targeted and die. Assuming players use the 8-10 recommended interaction cards (averaged to 9 for the purposes of calculation) there is a 1/11 theoretical probability for a player to draw a piece of interaction. Estimated 3/11 chance when accounting for the 3 other players. While this doesn't account for the varying amounts of each card type, it is a safe estimation (I would personally have around 12).
      TL;DR: I would rather have 2 of my opponents debilitated as well as myself than get exploded by the entire table. On a different note, I do dislike white more just because of the stax effects being annoying. I just think blue is more threatening due to good card draw, tempo-boosting/cheap counters, and powerful artifact synergies.

    To provide an idea for a Gruul commander I would recommend. Tovolar, Dire Overlord. Werewolves are great Red /Green. Tovolar keeps it night as long as you control 3 wolves/werewolves, tovolar included. Keep the buff of the stronger night forms while also forcing day to pop off transform effects. Ulrich of the Krallenhorde, Avabruck Caretaker, and Huntmaster of the Fells are great support with Howlpack Resurgence and Unnatural Growth. Hope this helps.

  • @W.S.H._men
    @W.S.H._men 2 місяці тому +1

    36:17 For Gruul commanders, I would recommend Samut, Vizier of Nazeem, and Grand Warlord Radha. Samut allows you to completely bypass Gruuls card draw problem, and Radha gives you so much mana it's insane. I would recommend playing both of them in the same deck, since they both support the other really well. Samut gives you something to spend Radha's mana on, and Radha allows you to play the cards you get with Samut earlier than normal.
    Another card that synergizes really well with Samut and Radha is Chandra. Specifically Chandra, Acolyte of Flame. Chandra can summon two elemental fire spirits that have haste. This gives you a lot of card draw with Samut, and a lot of mana with Radha.
    When playing with each commander, here is what I'd recommend. With Samut, you want some good hasted creatures, but more importantly you'd want enchantments or artefacts that give your creatures haste. This way, you can use cards like Krenko Mob Boss, which will allow you to draw nearly your entire deck before you know it. With Radha, while you will want to fill your deck with expensive creatures, you might want to try swarm cards and X cost spells. This way, you get a bunch of mana, then you could spend around 40 of it to blast someone to death with some instant or sorcery. I would also recommend running Tribute to the World Tree. TWT allows you to buff the smaller creatures in your Samut deck, or draw you cards in your Radha deck.
    But still, I do think you should run both Samut and Radha in the same deck. I would recommend Samut as your commander, but that's just me.

    I was introduce to magic with three standard decks: mono green elves with ezuri, mono red goblins with krenko, and mono black rats with pack rat (I still love rats, but just a little more than the other two). Starting my own collection, I favored simic (experiment kraj), moved to izzet (niv mizzet, parun), played with bant for a while (estrid), took a break for a while, then it was on to temur (standard elementals at first with Animar, then later mutation+cascade with Illuna). It was around this time when my collection exploded in quantity and variation, resulting in two of my prizes possessions: my Krenko deck and my Traxos deck (they rarely saw any play, but they were optimized to the teeth). During this time, I trended toward favoring sultai with Yharok and also Muldrotha. Also made a really fun Bane deck, which was my one and only dip into esper. And now my favorites are mono: green, dual: orzhov, trio: naya, quad: "witch" or atraxa colors (gotta love planeswalkers + proliferate), and Penta: no, colorless is better.
    Some of my all-time icons have been
    Syr Konrad, Abomination of Llanowar, Dargo + Malcolm (pirate/treasure tribal partner edh), General Tazri (5 color ally tribal, aka hagra diabolist speedrun), Atraxa of course (the goat), Bruenor (still undefeated), and Varina (no she doesn't count as esper 😤)

The graveyard is your utility, a second hand you just need to either fill or dig up. You can basically call Azban a Grave Digger deck. I love both Necrobloom and Kathril. Necrobloom is Selesnya with the dead, utilizing anthems, ramp and recursion, while Kathril is Golgari and Orzov, utilizing the dead by burying creatures alive then using their death's essence to aid in combat. In both cases, no one can stop the unrelenting hoard of Zombies, or bug with Trample, Flying, First Strike, Double Strike, Indestructible, Hexproof, Death Touch, and Vigilance!
