I was trying to figure out how/why you posted three videos in a single day but this explains it😂really awesome videos man! Watched all three in a row without realizing it. Earned a subscriber from me🫡
I definitely enjoyed the video and will be subscribing immediately. Hope to see more of your content
A Gruul deck to try is Ruric thar because it makes opponents lose life to cast non creature spells.
good video.
and i dont want to be mean but i wanted to mention that it bothered me that after you started with white you jumped to black instead of keeping the wubrg order, whyyyy...
anyway, sorry.
My mono white angel deck has a very unique win condition. When my life total reaches 2,000 my opponent usually quits. 😂
You are the reason for commander damage aha

@@RoninRose541 shhhhhh we don’t talk about infect….
Mill, "win the game" cards, infinite combos
"and why people hate you for playing blue"
*immediately skips forward to see how OP describes green*
The correct understanding of the color pie is that everyone CAN be a bastard. Green is just stealthy about it
Green is fun, blue annoys me (I play blue-red)
@@OOMTG That's why I play blue/green. So they winder if it's going to be quick or stealth 😂
*Skips to Dimir*
Should be glad I can only be Dimir via the deck.
Soulknight music?
Also Selesnya all the way
Sling out destruction while growing your fenced in garden and feeding the mana grown to your armies.
WHAT WHEN?
Roxanne starfall savant is one of my favorite gruul commanders, the gameplan is just swinging her as many times as physically possible to generate mana and damage and if you can clone her even better
The Jeskai deck I run that people "love" is Zedru. He just wants to give people gifts.
My three favorite color pairings are, in order, White/Green with Trostani, White/Black with like Ratadrabik and lifesteal/lifetax, and Blue/Green with Adrix and Nev. Again I really like tokens and lifegain.
you mentioned "all of the colors and none of the colors"
im so happy :'D
Counterspell just seems like natural thing to be included in the a game called Magic the Gathering. I don't understand why people consider it boring when every deck has a way or removing shit one way or another.
Because there's a big difference between:
"I summon my giant beast!"
"Oh, yeah? I summon my bigger giant beast!" Or "Oh? Well, I cast a massive lightning bolt to kill your giant beast!"
And
"I summon my giant beast!"
"No, you don't."
A lot of decks count on etbs and removal doesn't stop etbs as opposed ro counter
Ah so the issue is a lack of imagination of what counterspell is because if you look at the outcome of me anhilating a creature with lightning bolt or countering it, they are the same.
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?"

Me before this video: I love Gruul, I wonder what he says?
Me after this video: OONGA BOONGA
My white, red, and black Commander deck I run Trynn and Silvar, a partner pair that runs, and abuses, token humans.
Definitely agree on Boros, but not mentioning Winota is criminal. Pseudo-card draw that puts down free creatures for mana advantage. Granted, you’ll be a target whether or not you have a strong board lol.
the best colors for me is 100% izzet but most of my decks are 5 color decks or colorless either I want everythin or walmart brand everythin but faster barely an in between
My favorite deck is my karn artifact deck. It easily becomes a massive threat early.
Dino/angel hybrid deck is my fav. Or pure dino
I love black/white the most
I honestly disagree a little with Gruul, it is definitely unga-bunga, but it's main strength is being able to go *fast* with access to the amazing ramp of green, and burn of red. I play Xenagos/kindred charge goblins in Oathbreaker, and I've gotten 5 turn wins in 4 player games before
I'll definitely have to give xenagos another try then, maybe i was missing something!
Dude I loved the video but you talked about the Boros of ten years ago, it's so much better now 😂
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!
so i usually go for green/blue, green/black, or slivers. what does that say about me?
I'd imagine you really like the idea of accumulating resources and love the feeling of taking everything you've built up, turning them all sideways at once, and winning the game lol
@@OOMTG sounds about right, I was never really good at card games when I was younger and basically added life gaining cards to my decks just to survive against my older brothers, and I liked big monsters.
I like running a Bant deck
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.
Totally fair. It might just be my experience with the color combo then. I'll have to try out some newer stuff
Blue= strategies, hmmm yesss however my arcanis the omnipotent mono blue beatdown disagrees
This channel is awesome
ive build Zedruu the Greathearted its irenicus but with 3 coulours some of the absolute garbage that exists in blue is so funny
theres a 4 mana enchantment that just says "your creatures dont deal any combat damage"
i recomend savvela ice shaper or fladron (thw make wolf one) for grule
Beautiful
@@OOMTG my personal favorate trick in the deck is 9 lives, not only can i give someone a 9 lives and sit there as they realise im in blue and i can kill them any time i want but sometimes it can be a way i win (havent yet) by finding solemnty and going "lol i cant die"
I play Orzhov and when I saw deathgrip (on screen at 1:07 ) at my local game store I just had to torment my mono green friend w it lol
5:07
No circle of protection cards?
These seem to be the most exclusively White cards in existence.
oooh those would have been great to include! there were so many options in this unfortunately that there's stuff i had to leave out or just didn't even think of - but this is a great example
But what if : you play 5 colors + colorless ???
Green Blue ftw
Green: "oh just let me swing my 20/20 for game... on turn 3"
Blue: "NO"
White: "oh what a nice board you have there... mind you if i destroy it completely?"
Black: "war crimes baby!!!!"
Red: "Now you see your Lifes... now you don't "
LoL best simplification
This...I feel like I should disagree but I love this
@@dely9999 best part is, black usually war crimes itself haha
I just did my first MTG games yesterday as a complete fresh player.
Basically this sums up what I saw 😂 Got a black/green meta deck and only one once despite it being dominant? Anyways I had fun!!!
Blue is the kid on the playground back in the day who just says "nuh uh!" to anything anyone does against them during play.
The fact that people dip into Blue like it's a fuckin single level in War Cleric in Bauldur's Gate 3 for tourneys, tells you all you need to know about them. Only here for the braindead counterspells and card draw, so i can make sure i always have those counterspells...be a real shame if someone else got to do anything.

it’s funny because there’s a green deck in pauper with land destruction that got a lot stronger with modern horizons 3 😂😂

touched lightly on four color combinations and 5 color combinations later, reply with feedback for this =)
Thank you
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.
Let's also not forget that land destruction is primarily a white thing, and it's basically an unspoken rule to not use, even if it closes out games.
lol, banding was the worst fail of a mechanic they ever made.
So remember kids, blue players don't hate fun, we just know that there's a limited amount of fun available per magic game. And that fun is ours :)
😂 you could say....we seize the fun by having as much interaction with the other players as possible. It just so happens to be when they have a clutch spell to fire off.
"fun" is a finite resource.
I honestly don't have that much trouble with blue players my red usually smashes them early
Yargle be like "Swing for face? No, swing for game."
I wanna make a cheap Yargle and Multani voltron deck so bad.
i thought i would look down and see a good 10-15k subscribers. great video quality, keep it up :)
70 in one day is pretty good too aha thanks for the kind words!
Great video man. Clearly a lot of work went into this, and for your third video, I find it hard to believe that you are new to UA-cam! Very well done, and I can't wait to see what you upload next!!
New to this channel aha been on youtube for almost a decade overall :) I'm glad you enjoyed!
Do you have other channels? I'd love to check them out!
I run an anime channel called Axel Beats, I've done a pokemon one in the past and I am a writer and editor for several other channels as well :)
My favorite Gruul commander is Thromok the Insatiable. The basic game plan is make a bunch of little guys early, then feed them to a big guy later and swing for game.
I am a big fan of Ruric Thar, the Unbowed. Force your Commander friends to participate in the creature/combat game or take quite a bit of Commander Damage.
@@Swatman170yo commander damage has to be combat damage
My favorite is to swing big, then Fling for a second helping of big. Gruul decks just made that more fun to pull off.
*whistles innocently in Sliver, Eldrazi and red blue dragon as I wonder what these will day about me*......well besides i'm an evil asshole
A jack of all trades and a master of none... Is oftentimes better than a master of one.
Wait other players can cast spells and have fun?!? No problem 60 counters baral is here (violence is the only option)
i've always figured that black and white were both meant to mirror each other in some weird way in order to both oppose and compliment each other
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
I just love Black cards' atmosphere and themes.
My favorite colour duo is Black-Green, for ultimate graveyard plays.
Other than that, I like white fine (Black-White is also a very cool combination). I never clicked with the two other colours though.
Just made a black green deck today! We test tomorrow :)
Many cool points added for the Hollow Knight music in the background.
Excellent video. I myself am a Jund player with my favorite decks being;
- Xira, the Golden Sting: My Insect kindred deck that is surprisingly powerful and consistent.
- Prossh, Skyraider of Kher: My original, classic Jund deck. It's still good and I haven't had to make too many changes to it.
- 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.
Thank you very much for making this video. This actually helped me a lot in getting a greater understanding of the various colors combinations and even ways of building my deck your videos well done.
This is the real personality yest
lol, i'm an illegal Naya Players then. I'm playing Samut, Voice of Dissent as a Legend deck. Pretty much everything is legendary inside, and it's really efficient.
You get the pass for now, but you're on thin ice 👀
@@OOMTG 🤣. To be honest, I would gladly play Dinosaurs, but it would make 3 Dino players in my group so :/ I had to be inventive
Lmaoo more than fair
"Edgar Markov gets you kicked out of your play group" had me dying.. also, I can confirm this
I've only delved into the following:
Modern decks:
Mono Blue, Mono Black
Rakdos, Boros, Dimir, Gruul, Orzhov, Selesnya, Simic, Izzet
5 Colors
EDH:
Dimir
I've never looked into or had interest in uncolored decks or 3 or 4 color combination decks, though I don't mind trying them out in the future when I make the time for it. Looking at this now, I suppose Dimir is my favorite combination.
Green has bite effects which are just asymmetric fight cards. They’re not as sure as say a doomblade, but with green you’ll probably have big creatures to make them work better.
I play blue/white for fun, yes i acknowledge i am an asshole. 😂
My favorite deck revolves entirely around ominous seas. It’s so fun to fill the board with krakens and just keep drawing cards!
you dont have to play control, play soldiers or birds =)
and only esper is the real evil here.
I was just looking for mtg lore channels and hearing your familiar voice is a pleasant surprise. Good stuff!
Every color combo I have a deck for (I try to keep a low number), we have the same favorite, Jon, Ivy, Marchesa. Overjoyed! I am definitely going to try the other commanders you suggested.
Honestly, one of my favourite Selesnya commanders is Cadira, Caller of the Small.
Just make tokens. It doesn't matter what kinds of tokens. Then hit people with a buffed commander, and generate hundreds of rabbits. Always fun to play the bunny brigade 🐇
Man I thought I was the only one who liked playing Cadira! Lol So much fun with that deck
You say that red runs out of steam very quickly and I agree, but its speed also means that often, you are the only person on the board who can keep the truly heinous mana ramping from kicking off in green or partially green decks
History of each planeswalker series? I feel like you have the lore knowledge for it and your video style is almost documentary style
Love this idea!
@@OOMTG great! Just don't make me wait too long for Sorin's 😁
I don't think it will be one for a hit just because there is so much overlap with this video. But I think my brother would fight me if I put it off too long 😂
@@OOMTG and then a week later, you put up a video about all of the planeswalkers 😂🤣
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.
I almost entirely agree - my only caveat is that I think anyone complaining about any ONE color is usually just salty (unless a crazy meta is happening). In reality, every color can be just as bad as each other, but the way they make people feel bad just have different visibility.
@@OOMTG Yeah, I agree. :3c
Your under arrest for being the best magic player on this reality thank you so much you gave me tears of joy😭😭
If I had to compare it to another TCG, it’s like Runick in Yu-Gi-Oh. You use your cards strategically and generate a lot of value, but you’re not winning immediately. You have to fully play it out.
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.
I had a black vampire deck with an ability to snowball mana so fast, I can bring in emerkul in 8 turns.
1v1 commander is the only time i see boros have a lovely time
I had a mono white commander deck called white supremacy, there wasn’t a won condition, it made it hard for others to play the game
I mean, I get the joke, but _yeesh,_ that name...
Ive got a black (important for context) friend who plays a ton of white decks and i play a ton of black and the wild racist jokes back and forth about using the opposite color is honestly some of my favorite times playing magic
Love your content man, keep up the good work
Rakdos has always been my go to, Idk i just love the hotrod decks :)
Currently using Rakdos, Patron of Chaos as my cmdr
I could tell you didn't play red much when you explained mono-red. Was really validating when you later confessed that.
No shade, of course. You do you
Yea it's deeeefinitely my least played color. Unfortunately you can only play so much magic right? Aha hopefully I did a passable job
So if I play Green White Red Wolf/Elf tribal, does that make me a bad person..?
Wolves are basically dogs, you are ok but you are on thin ice!
New to MTG, I enjoyed every bit of it! Thank you for this! 🫶🏻
I hope you enjoy the game!
There is no such thing as white, the things that we see as white are all colors at the same time, so it makes sense that white has characteristics of the other colors, that is why in Duel Masters the civilization of light is yellow and its identity is firmly "defense".
The identity of civilizations is:
*fire = control of the battle zone.
*water = control of the hand.
*nature = control of the mana zone.
*light = control of the shield zone.
*darkness = control of the graveyard.
and everyone wants to have a raid boss on the field as fast as possible.
For gruul: try Etali, Primal Conquerer. Just build a ton of quick mana/ramp early and have a bunch of broken top end stuff like the green praetor with the land thing and mana tripling tree guy
8:10 heyyy its the card the manga is named after
I'm a green or white kind of person! I have a bit of blue but pls don't hate me😅
We respect green and white in this house
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.
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 like to play a game where I pick out magic players and try to guess their colors. I'm not always right, obvs, but I'm getting pretty good at guessing color mains as long as we are in person.
Mentioning Jon Irenicus reminded me of the Shuffle Up and Play video with him as one of the commanders, maybe the funniest magic video I have ever watched.
I am and always will be a Gruul Girly, but it's interesting to see why others enjoy their colour/colour combos
That video was actually why I built him! Its SUCH a fun and chaotic deck
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 😤)
What if i use all 5 colors and colorless?
I think I’m blue, but I could be red. But I mostly play golgari. I also was really into white when I started playing. I’m nothing if not inconsistent.
Honestly, I don't really look out for colors and more for interesting themes. I built a lot of decks in the last couple months. My favorite were artifacts, phyrexians and cascover. My favorite deck at the moment is Prosper with a focus on steal and cascover, because no game is the same and it's very unpredictable what cards you get from your opponents and what own stuff you get to cast for free. My playgoup hates it and it's by far my best deck.
I've been really getting into Azban. Depending on your commander, it's a powerful Selesnya deck, or Golgari deck with the aid of Orzov. 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!
My White/Red does extremely well against most of my friends. With Dragons and lines of soldiers it's hard to burn through a strong defense while the fliers widdle down health. Sprinkle a hefty amount of exiles/pacifies and enchantments tends to win quickly.
I’m brown. I just make everything cost 1 more until everyone leaves.
I play Gruul and I use Klauth. Dragons/RedGreen Good Stuff.
There are many times I summon Klauth as my Commander, Attack, Gain Mana by the combined Power of all my attacking monsters and them Magmaquake the field. It's stupid fun.
The *real* questions are: Which guild are you? Which Shard/Wedge do you like?
I'm a biiig grixis guy, mardu is a close second tho
@@OOMTG Izzet is my fav guild... Jeskai is my fav Shard... Grixis is my second favorite.
I feel like Jeskai and Grixis are both awesome though... With Grixis being a little better vs control. And Jeskai being a little better vs aggro.
