    Another one I think people are sleeping on is Rank # 1999 Commander Eesha. A simple 2WW Bird Soldier with Flying and Protection from Creatures. And I think its due to the fact how people build it. Most play it as a typical Voltron Deck, using a bunch of equipments etc. But let me tell you, the way to play it is using the neat keyword Exalted. You pack the deck with a good amount of protection spells to keep him out. But even if your opponents get rid of Eesha, You just hit hard with one of the remaining creatures, who still hurt thanks to exalted. Sprinkle in some Enchantments to give attacking creatures vigilance, or double strike, and Eesha can get out of hand quickly. If you got more budget, you can even sprinkle in some better and more powerful options. I had so much fun piloting the deck, and people should consider it more with only 151 Decks on EDH rec, its truly underrated in my eyes

    Patron of the Moon has combos upon combos upon combos. Besides all the landfall shenanigans and many ways to go infinite with Amulet of Vigor, beside the Mystic Sanctuary Time Warp infinite turns combo, he also turns some normally symmetrical cards like Mana Breach, Storm Cauldron and Sunder into "only I am allowed lands in play". A very underrated, if slightly mean commander.

    There's actually a super spicy secret synergy with Sekki that people don't necessarily know about. Neither the damage prevention nor the spirit generation is actually linked to Sekki having counters on it! This means that increasing Sekki's toughness above 0 by any means, whether it's an aura or, say, an anthem effect (which a deck that poops out so many tokens probably wants in the first place), results in a commander that cannot die to damage and still churns out spirits. From there it's pretty trivial to generate a stupidly massive army with fight and Lure effects, both of which are plentiful in green

    Great concept for a video! Hoping this inspires more people (myself included) to build some different decks.

    In lower power pods I could see some of these commanders being really fun but with how fast Commander is getting the game is already over by the time you get to cast some of these commanders.

    • @Donsjohnson
      @Donsjohnson 2 місяці тому +1

      I was thinking the same thing. I would say 5-6 cmc is probably the highest I would go for a commander. The stats for some of these commanders are pretty underwhelming for their cost as well. Great vid tho!

    • @hunteroverstreetnox
      @hunteroverstreetnox 2 місяці тому +1

      I mean, if you're in more powerful pods then making 10 Mana by turn 4 isn't hard either 🤷 I've turn 1 Kozi Butcher of truth with a god hand so the sky is truly the limit if youre talking about higher power pods

    Always good to see lots of legendary creatures from original Kamigawa.
    And is still outrageous the way they change the Myojin's divinity counter to indestructible counter, flavor and lore wise.

    creature-nightmare
    Whenever a swamp enters the battlefield under your control, choose one
    -you draw a card and you lose 1 life
    -dread presence deals 2 damage to any target and you gain 2 life

    My first edh deck, back in 2009, was Kamahl with a ton of forest tutors to the field and cards that double green mana from forests. I would get like 16 mana on turn 6 and start building my board and having 8 mana up to Armageddon any player trying to board wipe was awesome

    If you use a feign death type affect on Kagemaro, it goes on the stack ahead of his ability and thus he dies to it. There's no way to prevent this as X is determined at resolution, so it always equals his P/T.

    I really liked how you suggested cards and strategies. Old player (in the nineties), back in but it's very different and somewhat overwhelming! Any chance you could offer a video on The Swarm Weaver as Commander in a spider deck?

    surprised you didn't bring up agent frank horrigan, dude is surprisingly strong for a two color proliferate commander, his color combination actually allows for fast mana ramp and he can built another a ways due to how proliferate works. I actually like using him more then atraxa due to how explosive he can be.

    Build a nezahal. Had 6 mana turn two. Liked the idea of having alit of mana rocks so I built a alestaria deck. Cast a historic create a 1-1. Pay 8 mana. Creatures get plus equal to number of historics.

    I feel like for most of these their placement is justified due to being far too expensive to cast. All these 7-8 mana commanders which then can immediate eat a removal and become 10 mana to cast... I wanted to build Tariel deck, but it just wouldn't work
    Nezahal might be an exception since he has a lot of integrated protection
