    I got Ib Halfheart in my Purphuros GF deck. He’s the perfect finisher when your opponents life total are low enough and you’re ready to cash in all your mountains in a hilarious way

    The art for IB halfheart is 90% of the reason to make him a commander in the first place! Great vid as always

    That Iymrith deck actually sounds pretty cool. I like the idea of filling it full of spellshaper creatures and discarding your hand to get various benefits

    I must say most of the commanders I see in your poll I originally don’t have any interest in building a deck for, so I usually vote for the one that I would have no idea how to make a deck for that commander let’s see what Demo can come up with.
    When you finally come out with the new video I’m always impressed. I think to myself “I can’t believe he got that underwhelming commander to work.”
    You have inspired me to make some of these decks because I like having commanders and/or cards that most players have never seen or think are garbage cards come together and really make a deck work.

    Interesting goblin deck. I it may not be krenko but it's a really powerful effect. I run a Zada hedron grinder deck with a goblin subtheme so I have lots of love for the goblin tribe.

    You can't untap Iymrith in response to targeted effects to get the benefit of Ward; it has to be untapped when it's targeted, so targeted/activated untap effects are really poor here; Vigilance is 100% the way to go

    • @edhdeckbuilding

      leaving a window open for your opponents to kill your commander isn't great, but mono-blue isn't exactly famous for vigilance effects.

      Really Don't See Why You'd Wait For You Opponents To Target Your Commander, Declare It As An Attacker Then Untap It No Need To Let Them Untap Or Use Any Sorceries, And Can't Imagine Why You Wouldn't Be Pitching Your Cards Immediately To Draw Them Right Back

    Adding Basilisk collar, gorgon flail, and gorgon's head are particularly nasty in an Ib deck too

    I build mainly budget builds, and my "main" color is red, and I wanted a goblin deck, but I don't like good commanders like Krenko, and then I saw Ib, I built Ib different, but it was more of a storm deck because I thought on doubling my mana with skirk prospector and that red enchantment that makes you play stuff only from the top of your library, but I think I will change the list to be more similar to yours, that one would suck... Also, there is a goblin, don't remember the name that basically says: whenever a goblin you control dies, pay 1R and exile stuff from your library until you find a goblin

    This was helpful. I’m trying to make a deck including all the mono red goblin commanders and with the idea that I roll before a game to see which one is the commander. It has to be generic goblin enough to work with all but a few items for each commander. I was having a hard time with Ib cuz he’s a little more focused but this gave me some ideas.

    • @TheGrantross
      @TheGrantross 3 роки тому

      Well not every mono red goblin but at least 6-10 for the dice also while I love ishi-Ishi and his goat there not relevant

  • @Hombre944
    @Hombre944 2 роки тому

    I'm going to give that Ib Halfheart a try... But I'm still adding Torbran Thane of Red Fell, Chaos Moon, Boggart Shenanigans and a few others into play. No Krenko Mob Boss, though (because everyone hates when I play Krenko lol)

  • @Ryluth

    Ib halfheart I actually own a deck of it, it's quite fun, but can be punishing some times. I feel like copy effects are somewhat needed in the deck for utility. I've copied so many cultivates/Kodama's Reach for ramping, also I run Blood Moon which is nice in the deck, but it's the nicest card ever.

  • @mortem9126

    I love this series, as a suggestion might I suggest the partner combination of Ghost of Ramirez DePietro // Keskit, the Flesh Sculptor? For me this combination looks fun to build around

  • @mibbzx1493
    @mibbzx1493 3 роки тому +2

    I dont use desert doom as a commander but i use him in my ojutai deck since it blue/whire. If you findvways to grant him vigilance which white does pretty good, he’s a good card to just have for a flier with self protection and value

    I think that with the new Unfinity article, they really nailed the difference between a casual game and a competitive game when they said "competitive formats want consistency, whereas casual formats prefer that exciting things happen."

  • @elsanto2401
    @elsanto2401 3 роки тому +3

    Halfheart i think would benefit greatly from the addition of Cavalcade of Calamity. You're attacking with a lot of 1/1 goblins, so it adds a lot of reach and doubles your damage on empty boards. Great video BTW

    I think Iymrith is an auto include in the new Eruth, tormented prophet deck. You'll probably never have cards in hand, and Iymrith gets you 8 cards a turn

    My brother runs Ib as his goblin commander cause he has more fun with it than Krenko. It's crazy, like other players read what his commanders do, and yet they STILL never see it coming when he sacs basically all of his lands to go for the win

    Hello!
    I recently found your channel and just wanted to say that I really enjoy your content! I think we have a very similar approach to deckbuilding.
    Also, I was wondering if you also have a watchmaking channel?
    If not, you have a voice doppelgänger that has a great watch repair channel :)

  • @Danonito_flavor
    @Danonito_flavor 3 роки тому

    Hey Demo, I'd suggest a different poll system for the future as the one you use is definitely abusable and it doesnt represent the real interest. Aka, I can keep voting the same card over and over until its in the top 3, and that kinda sucks if you have weirdos that absolutely want a specific card to be featured.

  • @gael_le_cruel
    @gael_le_cruel 3 роки тому +1

    Demo, I'm sorry but this time I am a little disappointed with you.
    If there is A card that *really* looks like the kind of cards you love and that would fit really well with Iymrith, it is Null Brooch. It's perfect to protect it even if you attack without the vigilance and if you include a few more other ways to get to recursion (look what Deck of many things and Ramirez could do), it gets really exciting. At least to me ahahaha

    Blue is my least favorite color. And that Iymrith deck makes me want to make a mono color blue deck. Nice work!
