@@TheCommanderTavern Btw I thank you another time because you took time to explain the priorities to get 4 extra turns along mystical tutor and Swarm intelligence. I coulnd't find this, I just didn't think it was possible because I completly missed the timing to trigger the resonator. Damn, thanks you !
@@Hyxtrem Sure thing! I started my channel to not just read card text boxes in "deck tech" videos like a lot of other content creators do. I like to actually explain why I played certain cards and why they work - especially the combos, interaction, and synergy. Otherwise, what's the point? Believe it or not, when brewing a deck I might think an idea is good but then testing the decks online on Cockatrice I find so many other synergies and interactions that I didn't really see until I was in those situations. I do end up making cuts/swaps for some ideas that didn't work but a lot of the times I'm surprised by just how well some cards interact together and even more so with the appropriate commander.
Got to love the value of free spells! But I didn't realize that Venser can blink any of your permanents. I'm going to have to check the deck I have him in to see if I can make any worthwhile changes
Yup, Venser is amazing for so many reasons especially since he delay blinks with a positive loyalty ability. So you can always blink lands to keep them up for other turns or to get their enter the battlefield triggers.
Have you ever considered making some budget variants of these decks? I always like the decks you make but they are seriously way out of my budget range. P.S. your Siona deck is killing it at my LGS. I won on turn 4 with it last week.
Woot! Great to hear my brew has been helping you take names and kick ass at your LGS! I did make some budget variants of my decks when I started the channel but with so many budget channels and content already out there they do get drowned out. So instead I just mention in my videos how to cheapen the mana base. For example, you can hold out on getting the fetchlands until they get reprinted and, unless you're playing online, you don't need the original dual lands; other dual-typed lands will work just fine. I also avoid any expensive cards that aren't really necessary for the deck to function. For example, in this Yennett build, fortunately Scroll Rack, Vampiric Tutor, Enlightened Tutor, and Cruel Tutor just recently got reprinted so they're relatively cheaper. And although I do mentioned running Imperial Seal and Capture of Jingzhou, I also mention that they're not worth buying for the deck and any budget substitutes will work. This deck can be even more brutal with including things like Moat, Timetwister, and other oppressive cards but these are so ridiculously expensive that I don't bother brewing with them let alone mention them. Recently Gaea's Cradle received such an insane spike that it used to be in the range of the dual lands but now it's almost a 4-figure card. So I no longer recommend it unless players have no issues with gold-bordered cards.

@@TheCommanderTavern its my second favorite deck and I love it I run Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire, black creature when it attack search a card and put it on top... infinite combo with nexus of fate Wandering Archaic (5) its awesome too
@@AlucardNosfe Those seem like some solid suggestions! Wandering Archaic has to 100% go in it, for sure. That is one of my favorite cards for commander - and it's even better here since it has an odd CMC.
@@AlucardNosfe Will do! If I update it I will update the description with the link to the updated decklist and I'll reply letting you know I revised it.
I've found that that many win cons is unnecessary if you go hard on extra-turns effects. I'm running 8 odd mana extra turn spells because i can't afford capture of jingzhou, plus time stretch and Mnemonic Deluge (3 extra turns when targeting time warp, Temporal Manipulation, or Savor the Moment). The only other win-con I have besides Yennett is Ulamog because, well, ulamog. So far, I have a 100% win rate whenever I get 2 extra turns in a row. My infinite turn combo is Varrigoth+Nexus of Fate, though I'm going to add Aminatou so I can go infinite with Mystic Sanctuary.
@@TheCommanderTavern Yeah the problem is I have an aminatou blink deck so I've got to pick up a second copy for this deck. I'm too lazy to switch cards around all the time.
@@joshuasinger4649 Same. The only exception is obviously all the fetchlands, dual lands, and moxes. I keep a placeholder card in my decks (like the ones from Zendikar 3, Kaldheim, and Strixhaven) so I can just get them from a communal box where I keep them all. I might be lazy, but I'm not a millionaire XD
@@joshuasinger4649 That sucks, man. I'm avidly against the Reserved List. Fortunately, I've been playing since forever so it wasn't an issue for me, personally. But not everyone has been playing since Fallen Empires. In any case, proxies are more acceptable in some commander pods so hopefully anyone wanting to play them but unable to afford them can still be able to use them somewhat.
Hm, not really. Gonti isn't a bad commander but I feel like he's better suited in the 99 of a black deck with other colors that allow him to get blinked more often.

Love this Esper commander, but sadly I took apart for part for Alela, Artful Provocateur
Thanks! Hopefully my time to be in the limelight comes soon :P
Did you dismantle Yennett for Alela because you only want to have one WUB deck?
