    After seeing 2 games with Abdel as Orzhov, I wonder if it's not the right shell. The Animate Dead combo is super explosive but otherwise the commander doesn't do much for the deck. Even in an ideal case, you need an Animate Dead equivalent, a sac outlet, and both of your commander cards, which is a 2 card combo + 8 mana from the command zone. In a more focused UW blink shell, you can have a 2 card win combo with Abdel + Felidar / Resto + any instant blink (just cast it on someone's end step and untap with infinite 1/1s) that doesn't require the background to be on the field in addition. While you work up to the combo, you can just do good value stuff like blinking Skyclave Apparition / Detention Sphere or Arcum's Astrolabe. And you can also go infinite with any 2 O-Ring effects + commander. If all else fails, you can still have combo lines with Deadeye + Drake, Brago + Resonator, Displacer Kitten lines, etc.

      @Bezoldz 2 роки тому

      Well abdel can in Orzhov also do stuff with instant blink and felidar/resto and win without animate dead. for example abdel felidar/resto and altar of the brood.

    • @tmakalpha1
      @tmakalpha1 2 роки тому +2

      Candlekeep Sage is probably the most obvious background for Abdel, card advantage from the command zone is nuts and one of the few instances you want the background out before the commander

  • @TheMrLifeguard
    @TheMrLifeguard 2 роки тому +11

    Really solid stuff in here and I think showcases why you might choose Zevlor over the other grixis options out there. Kess might be the closest to the sort of grindy midrange that Zevlor can bring to the table with his ability.
    Abdel just might not make it there as a commander compared to a very real upgrade to WGD in decks like MAD Farm, but I understand that's less interesting than trying to showcase the new Baldur's Gate commander options.
    Again some pretty cool plays out of Gale. Not quite as huge as that game 1 but hard to top that.
    Raggadragga... It's just a steep hill to climb trying to have a beat down commander in colors that are going to struggle to assemble a combo win with Aggravated Assault. Maybe it was just a couple of rough showings of the deck but it has looked outclassed at these tables.

    • @qwteb
      @qwteb 2 роки тому

      Yeah the jeska's will value is nuts, i have a kess and zevlor could be a better commander instead.
      Would abrade also work, possibly clearing not just creatures but artifacts as well?

      Whenever an effect gives you permission to cast a spell, you ignore normal timing restrictions for that spell.
      "601.3. A player can begin to cast a spell only if a rule or effect allows that player to cast it and no rule or effect prohibits that player from casting it."
      In this case, an effect allows it, so you can do it. (Normally, a rule allows it: there's no rule saying that you _can't_ cast sorceries at instant speed; only 307.1 saying that you _can_ do it at sorcery speed.)

      I'd agree with their sentiment but not due to rules. It's just the principle of it. If I sit down with a stompy deck, Xenagos or Maelstrom Wanderer or something that wants to make big boards around turns 4, 5, or 6 but then my opponent brings a TurboNaus list the two of us aren't even in the same league. In my mind, EDH is about having fun and cEDH is about winning at any cost and I would never want to mix the two into one pod.

      @@anonymoususer5351 I don't view cEDH as being a format where winning at all costs is the end goal of the format, instead I think it's more of a mindset. People have a tendency towards playing really big splashy spells that are powerful when they hit the board, but then it gets removed/countered and then they spend the rest of the game either drawing into land, or drawing into cards that either do not progress their board, or slow the game to a halt.
      I used to play really bad cards, I mean the draft chafiest of draft chaft kind of stuff. Sometimes those cards work great in EDH because it's a slower format, but what I've found from playing with a competitive mind set is that I began to reevaluate cards and how I build my decks.
      I began cutting cards that I loved, but really did not help me win, I began to think, "Yeah this card is good, but does it do enough?" And then I began to just build in my mind the decks of my opponents and I'd be at work distracting myself with all of the possible plays my opponents could play, how I could answer a specific situation and then I'd put these ideas into motion and see the impact of my ideas in game.
      When it comes to "power levels," of decks I also find that designation to be a bit arbitrary. I think all decks can stand equally in terms of variance and the likelihood either you or your opponent fuck up. Lower powered decks may end up running more creatures or other forms of interaction that the "higher powered," decks can't answer, or they simply get aggro'd out before they can do anything. People like to look at cEDH as a "pay to win," format, but if you build your deck to maximize the likelihood of you creating an overwhelming board state then you have just as much of a chance of winning as anyone else.

      @@BenLaakkonen your 2nd and 3rd paragraph exactly described what I designated as the destinction between EDH and cEDH, that being removing cards that you enjoyed or were fun for the sake of efficiency. The mindset you mentioned early on appears also to be the mindset between playing splashy effects and efficient effects, which again is the difference between fun and pure desire to win.
      Your last point about a deck generating an overwhelming board and winning through that even in a competitive environment I have to firmly disagree with. In a world where hyper fast combo decks exist as a strong part of the cEDH meta (being its own format with its own meta), anything meant to be played competitively needs to be prepared for those types of decks or other things the meta showcases frequently. That is why white Rule of Law effects are popular in cEDH right now, because the cEDH meta has frontrunners and decks built to counteract them. Having a big board means nothing if your opponent was able to cast AdNaus and win unimpeeded.

      Elminster with lots of draw can cast two Approach of the Second Sun quickly after finding the first one. The extra turn, terminus, and angel token making miracle cards are pretty solid too.
