Just found your video. I think my favorite thing about this commander is that it actually scales based on how many opponents you have. I've been looking for a commander that allowed me to still feel strong in a 1v1 game when I can't get a pod of 3 or 4 going. But of course araumi is really really good when you do have 3 opponents. I also love the budget-ish deck tech too, it's really nice.
i feel like you guys have a similar commander taste to mine. obeka and araumi are the two i'm the most excited to build and you released a video for both :) butcher of malakir though really expensive could be nice too, one-sided boardwipe problably when encored and having it on the field would also be nice with 3 sac triggers per turn. also tribute mage can get sundial of the infinite which could also be cool
I wish that I had an Orb and an Oracle now... I have the final parting, dread return, tumbling sands, and perplex to find her. I have other untappers, but they're Clever conjurer and Nimbleclaw Adept
I’m a huge fan of the inclusion of Tomebound Lich, which I have yet to see in any other deck lists. Is it OP? No. Is it a VERY cheap card that can illicit lots of utility? Definitely.
I'd actually run a bit more interaction in this deck, if only because it is REALLY vulnerable to graveyard hate. If an opponent plays a Rest in Peace and you don't have a counterspell ready, you're kinda just out of the game. Also, I'd consider trying to fit Stitcher's Supplier into the deck. It's a one mana creature that can mill you for 18 if you encore it.
i run a list similar to this and am considering the thoracle orb combo but i can't decide if it's worth it to include. if you mill mesmeric orb it's over for the combo. your list has no artifact recursion. then i thought about adding archaeomender but then the combo would take up a total of 5 cards in the deck. not to mention adding an extra turn just to araumi the archaeomender if you mill that as well. like you said it's not the best combo but i hardly see the point of such a high committal and volatile "win con". maybe I'll try it out anyways. thanks for the awesome video nonetheless!!
Does anyone know the ruling on encoring a legendary creature if you have more than one opponent. Would you still have to sacrifice the copies once they hit the field. Thanks!
Yep, they’d still be under the legend rule so you’d have to sacrifice all but 1 when they hit the battlefield. Which can be a good thing for some (Kokusho for instance) and bad for others (legendaries with attack triggers or activated abilities) - Peter
Was there a Gary? If not it needs to go in there. Encore it and you get X=7 from araumi and the garys at minimum, which is 21 damage to everyone and 63 life gain for you.
Encoring Floating-Dream Zubera gives you 3 death triggers eot. That means the first one you sac you get one card. The 2nd is two cards and the 3rd is 3 cards. Not 3 cards each. But if you have a sac outlet and hold priority and sac all 3 then you will get 9 cards.
I'm pretty sure the way the encore ability is worded, they all die simultaneously as part of the same triggered ability, so you should get 3 draws from each.
I think due to the way the card is worded sadly nothing occurs with the death effect because it's not a death trigger, it's an enter the graveyard trigger. Nothing is entering the graveyard, just cards being exiled and token "copies" dying
I made a deck with Araumi when it came out, at first people were like mehhh its a 50 cent card, cant be that good. Then I had an encore Massacre Wurm that won me the game on the spot, opponents losing 6 life for each creature
In a four player game: Unesh, Criosphinx Sovereign gives you 9 piles of 4 cards. Ashen-Skin Zubera makes an opponent discard 9 cards. halimar excavator mills 27 cards. Ayara, First of Locthwain/Zulaport Cutthroat drain each opponent 9 life. Both are great to have in play too.
I think you can up the power level without breaking the bank. Your low to the ground on CMC, so I think being able to abuse the mana you get from certain creatures by being able to cast larger threats is a way to win the game. As the game progresses you should be able to put value your opponents.
@@epicnessbrian5295 they are easy to get back from exile because you can cast them and thus their is no cost to exileing them for the tings you want to encore
Edit: look at replies, I was wrong. Explained below. This is a bit too late, but I am certain you will not get 9 cards from the Zubera. 3 Sacrifice triggers go onto the stack, one resolves and a zubera dies. You would receive priority, but before that happens, its own ability goes onto stack, with 2 death triggers beneath it. Since 1 Zubera has died that turn, you draw just 1 card. The next Zubera draws 2, then the third one draws 3. You can, however, cheat this by having a sac outlet, sacrificing all 3 Zuberas in response to the previous Zubera's trigger, and thus having all 3 dead when the triggers resolve, drawing 9 cards.
It matters whether or not all of the Zuberas die simultaneously. You’re right that if you sacrifice them to a sac outlet then they’ll happen in order. However, with Encore, all of the sacrifices happen at the same time at the end step, so they can see all of the others die at once and you draw 9. It’s confusing, but I can assure you that if they are alive at the end of the turn they were encored, they are sacrificed simultaneously and you draw 9 cards. - Peter
@@CommandValley I see it noe. I wanted to disagree at first, but I read it again and see that I read the ability wrong - I thought all the tokens had the ability on themselves, but the sacrifice is part of Encore and not the tokens, therefore there is only a single trigger and you are certainly right :) Well, that's only better. Not for the opponents though.
When tokens die they go to the graveyard and THEN they are removed from the game as a state-based action, so they will trigger. This is why you can equip X/1 tokens with Skullclamp and you still get to draw the cards.
This is an awesome deck, Araumi is most definitely one of my favorite commanders from this set
@Briggs Francisco this is one of those awkward moments when I can’t tell if something is a joke or not

Sundial of the infinite is very good in this deck!
Nice video. Lot of cool tech I haven't seen elsewhere.
I might reccomend Rings of Brighthearth. Pretty sure it gives you double tokens.
i feel like you guys have a similar commander taste to mine. obeka and araumi are the two i'm the most excited to build and you released a video for both :)
butcher of malakir though really expensive could be nice too, one-sided boardwipe problably when encored and having it on the field would also be nice with 3 sac triggers per turn.
also tribute mage can get sundial of the infinite which could also be cool
I wish that I had an Orb and an Oracle now... I have the final parting, dread return, tumbling sands, and perplex to find her. I have other untappers, but they're Clever conjurer and Nimbleclaw Adept
I'm using araumi in my Obeka, Brute Chronologist deck. Encore, then on sack trigger I tap Obeka to end turn and keep the copies
phyrexian triniform, sundial of the infinite, and stitcher's supplier are good cards that combo well with Araumi.
Gray merchant, kokusho, and wurmcoil engine ?
He was aiming for that budget build, but I totally agree. Those are worthy upgrades!
gary is insane in this deck
I’m a huge fan of the inclusion of Tomebound Lich, which I have yet to see in any other deck lists. Is it OP? No. Is it a VERY cheap card that can illicit lots of utility? Definitely.
Sticher's Supplier?
I feel like this is missing Mirror of Fate to break the exile effect on Araumi.
I'd actually run a bit more interaction in this deck, if only because it is REALLY vulnerable to graveyard hate. If an opponent plays a Rest in Peace and you don't have a counterspell ready, you're kinda just out of the game.

Bojuka bog sucks 😔
I thought I was crazy for questioning it being uncommon lol
You wouldn’t even need Dread Return to get Thassa’s Oracle into play - you could just untap Araumi with one of the Fatestitchers and encore it out.
Very Very good Video an Decktech, now i would like to build this deck too:)
i run a list similar to this and am considering the thoracle orb combo but i can't decide if it's worth it to include. if you mill mesmeric orb it's over for the combo. your list has no artifact recursion. then i thought about adding archaeomender but then the combo would take up a total of 5 cards in the deck. not to mention adding an extra turn just to araumi the archaeomender if you mill that as well. like you said it's not the best combo but i hardly see the point of such a high committal and volatile "win con". maybe I'll try it out anyways. thanks for the awesome video nonetheless!!
Where are gary and agent of treachery
Oh God. Three agents. Yikes

I would run Gray mercgant and Misthollow Griffen. Also Mulldrifter good way to draw some cards
what does misthollow griffin do for you?
Encoring Floating-Dream Zubera gives you 3 death triggers eot. That means the first one you sac you get one card. The 2nd is two cards and the 3rd is 3 cards. Not 3 cards each. But if you have a sac outlet and hold priority and sac all 3 then you will get 9 cards.

ravenous chupacabra is a great card to add to this deck, destroying an annoying creature of your oponents
I made a deck with Araumi when it came out, at first people were like mehhh its a 50 cent card, cant be that good. Then I had an encore Massacre Wurm that won me the game on the spot, opponents losing 6 life for each creature
grave titan would be insane in this deck lol
Inside of the commander legends set, it definitely is an uncommon. But outside of commander legends it’s awesome.
So with mana, how many of each basic did you decide to put into deck? Equal amounts
In a four player game:
Unesh, Criosphinx Sovereign gives you 9 piles of 4 cards.
Ashen-Skin Zubera makes an opponent discard 9 cards.
halimar excavator mills 27 cards.
Ayara, First of Locthwain/Zulaport Cutthroat drain each opponent 9 life. Both are great to have in play too.
I hope that was sarcasm when you said a card you want in your yard with cycling wasn't a relevant ability.
Stares in mimeoplasm
Myriad creatures give 3 copies EACH when encored. Just a note haha
I think you can up the power level without breaking the bank. Your low to the ground on CMC, so I think being able to abuse the mana you get from certain creatures by being able to cast larger threats is a way to win the game. As the game progresses you should be able to put value your opponents.
Apheto Alchemist works aswell for your combo
Eternal Scourge and misthollow griffin
why

dream zubera wouldn't work you need to put it into a graveyard and tokens arent put in the grave yard so the tokens wouldn't get the effect.

@@Orengi-kun thanks for the clarification
