Yeah, Grim Hireling really jumped up in price. Not terribly surprising since it was (mostly) creeping up since the MKM reveals. Still an excellent card for Olivia, regardless if she is probably one of the reasons Hireling doubled in price in a short span 😅 Great tech either way!
Glad you enjoyed it! Honestly, even with how good this card is in this deck, I was not expecting the price to skyrocket the way it did.... Maybe it did because is really good on the new Gonti and Felix Five-Boots too and there simply wasn't enough supply? Or maybe a buyout because of the demand? Either way, I would at this point advise waiting for a reprint rather than dropping $20 on a single.
Phew... now I want the deck that is Most Wanted! Bad puns aside, amazing vid as always! Next up is the Vihaan dethroning slime... and hopefully Obeka wins the poll, since while she WAS on Game Knights, she barely did anything. Day 967 of waiting for the fave reveal- I mean face reveal. That said... got a favourite commander from this year?
Glad you enjoyed it and the puns are always appreciated! It looks like Obeka is a shoe in for the top spot at this point, so unless we get a huge upset in the next few days, we should see that build coming soon! Then regarding my favorite commander of this year, if I had to choose - I would say it would be Mr. House, President and CEO. I'm a fan of the Fallout Series and Mr. House's depiction in MTG is both solid from a gameplay perspective, brings back die rolling in a big way, and remains true to the lore on the tabletop. But we still have Modern Horizons 3 on the Horizon (no pun intended), so we'll just have to see if there is an even spicier commander inbound.
Fun tech, I upgraded this a little before seeing this, but Grim Hireling + Aggr Assault with Olivia out is a combo if you can get in for damage. Love the video, made mostly the same upgrades you did so might just alter it based on your ideas. Thanks as always!
Glad you enjoyed it and I agree - between the two of them we can generate infinite combat phases so long as we can reliably get in for damage on every opponent, so it may worth considering since Aggravated Assault is now around $5 after the most recent reprints (though Grim Hireling has skyrocketed to about $20, so maybe it would be better to hold off until it gets reprinted....).
What about adding in bonehoard dracusar and ancient copper dragon? I know ancient copper is about 60 bucks and i have bonehaord dracusaur sitting in my bulk atm
Every time I see these upgrade videos, I keep seeing people suggesting to remove the politics cards. Isn't that the charm of commander? To do political plays, do card interactions that involve everyone, etc?
I see your point and have been frequently accused by my editor that I don't like fun because I remove more politically oriented cards from decks. That said, in my opinion, any card can be a political card depending on what deals you can make at the table making cards that are naturally political unnecessary and often unreliable if we need them to work a certain way in order for them be to effective for us. Now, if you want to go all in a politics then by all means run these cards, but I am of the mindset that we're either all in on political cards or not at all. Hope that explains my reasoning.
Okay that's fair..... I never really thought about it (seeing as I always referred to decks focused around creature types as "tribal" and it's individual creature entrant as "tribe members") but I can see how that term has some connotations that some may find offensive....
Not that this is a bad deck or upgrade option far from it it's actually really good but unfortunately this is just too expensive for me and I already have an Edgar Markov Mardu vampire tribal deck that I'm already happy with. Just so we're clear I'm not bad mouthing your deck idea I'm just too poor to afford it and and that is befitting as treasure as a rule usually got the finder a lot of money and I guess WOTC made no exception to that rule and outlaws shaking down their victims and taking almost if not all of the money they got can also tie into why this deck and just about any build involving it can be ridiculously expensive LOL but as I said good job

As a new magic player, i love these videos as it gives me ideas of what i can work towards for upgrading my decks
Another card to look at is Cauldron Of Souls. Repeatable board protection with Olivia’s counter ability to negate those counters from the Cauldron.
BABE WAKE THE KIDS, GRAZZET PRECON UPGRADE VID JUST DROPPED, LFG!

Great job on this one :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great vid as per normal 👌

Yes been waiting this😁😁😁😁😁😁.
Thank you for being patient and I hope it was worth the wait!
And if you’re willing to spend a lot of money on this deck then ancient copper dragon is amazing but horribly expensive
Why not include Mayhem Devil? It seems like a good fit on this deck. Sack a treasure and ping anything for 1.
Which then triggers a crime
I think is not inlcuded because is not an outlaw and doesn't fit in the tribal theme

Vote marchesa
She's gonna need a lot of help to overtake Obeka, but there's still time so we'll see!
So olivia & Edgar didn't get married after all those wedding cards were released....embarrassing
I was fine with keeping it as tribal, but hearing you say "tribe member" changed my mind.

Ope. Dockside Extortionist is now banned in Commander… after I bought one. Rip
