You're a treasure!! (But also I really like Goldhound--he's quick, he's evasive, he can beat in with a Diamond Pickaxe or Boomtown Beatstick early on, and he's a treasure too! Vihan also upgrades it appropriately, too.)
@@CommanderMechanic Thank you! I realised one of your videos helped me upgrade my Sidar Jibari knights deck, so I am just coming back for more, it seems!
No love for my boy Jan Jansen? That being said, LOVE Descent. Every game I play it early ends with single-digit life totals for all included. Real nail-biting stuff.
A card that was missed, Goldspan Dragon (double mana from your treasures and creates them on etb and attack, may be a little pricy for the budget conscious at $22).
Wow, it's pretty crazy, I spent all day playing Magic, and then when I got home, I thought, "I really wanna watch some drawfee" and this was the first video in my feed. Illuminate confirmed.
The thing about Massacre girl, is if you sac all your treasure in Second Main, it's -1/-1ing all the other creatures for each treasure, but now you also have a lot of mana to drop in big creatures/spells when Massacre Girl is the only other creature in play.
A surprisingly available card these days is the Cavern-Hoard Dragon. It will rarely come down for more than four mana unless you really are winning, it's a big haste with double evasion, and it drops more treasures than you expect. Given how people will never let AGD hit them but often can't stop this one, my experience of both is that CHD makes more treasure while dealing more damage.
Bit of an odd one, but I cannot stress how undervalued it is for recursion: Conqueror's Galleon. If you don't think you have the means to flip it, it's a crewable 2/10 body that survives creature boardwipes. If you CAN swing it, it is a way to put things in your bin, a way to recur things from your bin, and a draw source. The costs for the effects are high, but the flexibility is STUPID good.
No offense but that card looks awful 8 mana to draw a card or 10 mana to return a creature to hand? And that’s after it’s had to transform. Even if it put the creature on the battlefield instead of in hand it would still be jank at best
@@jeffreylong1478 It's expensive overall, but it flies under the radar for most removal and has a butt of 10. The odds of it lasting long enough to more than make up for the cost is pretty good
22:03 Vihaan, Pitiless Plunderer, and one treasure make infinite mana. Or, if you have Altar of the Brood on board, you mill everyone out which is a fun and unexpected wincon in this deck - but Altar of the Brood is my pet card and I will always find a way to force it
Get creative. Like I do with every commander deck I’ve ever sat down to build. I can’t afford to constantly keep up with every commander product printed. However playing liberty prime/madison li it looks like I’ll need this one. My magic encyclopedia is being studied by the CEO of a rehab company currently and I have plenty of students across Louisiana and beyond. Hit me up if you need some ideas or deep cuts to cards. I love and live for this.
You mentioned that Vihaan doesn’t enable any infinites, but Nathan actually mentioned the cards that become one earlier in the video. Skullclamp + Pitiless Plunderer + Vihaan making treasures creatures = infinite card draw and as many sac and etb triggers before drawing out. Add Mondrak or Ojer Taq and that’s also near infinite mana.
unfortunately Vihaan doesn't make treasures creatures as they enter the battlefield. Since the treasures become creatures at the beginning of combat, any treasures that enter AFTER that will not be creatures!
Be sure to check out Nathan and Drawfee:

Now we need you to host an episode of Drawfee, what would neat is you made them draw a creature or card you describe via vibes or even memies
This was so much fun! Thanks so much for having me!
Any time!
My brother and I have talked on and off about making a Drawfee-themed commander deck so seeing that you're into commander is a big deal
Yoooo the crossover of my interests that I never would have expected!
What a pleasant surprise to see you in this neck of the woods! I remember you talking Hearthstone on an old episode of Drawfee and loved that too.
You're a treasure!!
(But also I really like Goldhound--he's quick, he's evasive, he can beat in with a Diamond Pickaxe or Boomtown Beatstick early on, and he's a treasure too! Vihan also upgrades it appropriately, too.)
Yay! Now we need more Drawfee MTG episodes!
Never expected this crossover, but absolutely incredible
Nathan popped up in my feed, and I stumbled on a new Commander show! This was delightful, and you now have a new subscriber.
Welcome to the channel!
@@CommanderMechanic Thank you! I realised one of your videos helped me upgrade my Sidar Jibari knights deck, so I am just coming back for more, it seems!
Big Drawfee fan. I always enjoy their Magic the Gathering episodes.
I was absolutely not expecting to see this intersection (though it makes sense), this is awesome!!
This rules, this is my chocolate and my peanut butter.
As a big fan of both shows, what an amazing collab! Not what we deserved, but really much what we needed I suppose
This was a fantastic discussion to listen to, and I love the story of how y'all connected!!
What a wild crossover, love to see it! Thanks for the video.
I came here to say "JUND EM OUT" but now I must see your take one this commander seeing how I just put it together!
No love for my boy Jan Jansen?
That being said, LOVE Descent. Every game I play it early ends with single-digit life totals for all included. Real nail-biting stuff.
A card that was missed, Goldspan Dragon (double mana from your treasures and creates them on etb and attack, may be a little pricy for the budget conscious at $22).
Wait this is what Nathan was doing while the rest of drawfee kicked him out?
Can't believe Nathan locked every other Drawfee member in his Oubliette so he could record this episode
I’ve been a Drawfee and Commander Mechanic fan and sub for years. This was a great combo! Hope y’all will do it again sometime.
Wow, it's pretty crazy, I spent all day playing Magic, and then when I got home, I thought, "I really wanna watch some drawfee" and this was the first video in my feed. Illuminate confirmed.
I'm loving this style of content from you! Makes me wish you did some podcast style deckbuilding content
tune in all this month, I'll have a similar episode up every Friday in May
Clone Zone!
I'm actually brewing Vihaan right now. Thanks for the video!
Yawgmoth, thran physician is a great sac outlet that is also card draw and removal so fits a lot of needed things in a commander deck
oooo this video is so much fun. Also Eldrazi Smash!
The thing about Massacre girl, is if you sac all your treasure in Second Main, it's -1/-1ing all the other creatures for each treasure, but now you also have a lot of mana to drop in big creatures/spells when Massacre Girl is the only other creature in play.
Check out Cranial Plating as an instant speed way of sneaking damage through unblocked creatures.
it's another good one to whack onto a Marionette Master
Reckless endevor, roll 2d12, choose 1 die, each creature take the number rolled as damage, then make treasures equal to the damage done
Clone Zone (great video, watched it a few times and thinking about building it!)
Cool vid Chris !!! Clone Zone, Gyruda forever !!!!
Nathan is in both my dream blunt rotation and dream commander pod.
he is pretty dreamy
Clone Zone. That Vihaan brew looks so much like the one I did on a lower budget. Vihaan seems strong
This Mardu Dward is so interesting, I have one copy full art and this hyped me. Clone zone.

It’s in the final list, I love CHD!
I just built Vihaan the deck is so much fun.
You inspired me to build this!! "Clone Zone"

The treasure from plunderer is not a creature and would not replace itself
@@CommanderMechanic I have misread how Vihaan works... thought it was a static "treasures you control are 3/3 creatures"
You brought nathan on? Good play. U got my sub now
Clone zone. Love seeing Nathan been a long time fan of drawfee
Clone Zone. Vihaan is such a cool commander! 🎉
This made me think of forced combat Vihaan and just "pay" people to take each other out. Be the mafia boss!
Eldrazi Smash!
Had to comment on the Vihaan video !
I love Nathan Drawfee!
When the Treasures ETB on your turn, they'd enter as creatures, right? for purposes of Orzhov life gain life loss engine.
I don't think they etb, since the treasures are already on the battlefield.
Pretty cool and unique commander! "Clone Zone"
I JUST finished a Vihaan deck this morning. Serendipity
All the Vihaan lists ive seen have deadly dispute. I would like to suggest for your consideration, Plumb The Forbidden.
Clone zone
PD. I'm gonna be using some ideas for My Jan Jansen deck
I just recently started playing MTG arena again since 2020.
Eldrazi SMASH!! Also Vihaan is probably one of the best mardu commanders now!
I don't remember if Agent of the Iron Throne was mentioned in this, but it's a good include here
I love Drawfee, I love MTG
My world is colliding
I'm sure there's a combo with the commander, something like a reaver cleaver and aggravated assault
Glad Nathan is playing MTG
Clone Zone!! Also this deck looks fun!
i had no idea nathan was a commander fan!
“CLONE ZONE” ! Figured I’d go on a different video haha !
This is a deck that I really wanna build also “JUND EM OUT”
Drawfee jumpscare
Omg Nathan 🎉
I'm a fan of this deck. Also...JUND EM OUT
Clone Zone!
Thanks for the chance
Jund em out! This was a sweet deck tech!
Ready for the Clone Zone!
Clone Zone! Hot Tarmygoyf sounds awful, I love it.
Top tier crossover
40:22 "delete your art"
For a top-end of the deck, may i suggest Brass's Bounty?
lmao "kill your darlings" and "delete your art" ARE the same thing
I heard something about a clone zone...is that here?
so about those "babies" ... I guess when I build Vihaan this would be my fourth Mondrak to get ....
Nathan! :D :D :D
Clone Zone! Love the content bro!
"Eldrazi smash!"

There's another infinite with pitiless plunderer and aggravated assault, assuming you have enough treasures to start
Commenting cuz i love the video and also for clone zone
Nathan please try to have commander mechanic on drawfee as a episode host or something like that
Waiting for the clone zone!
Clone zone. Looking forward to mh3!!
Here from twitter--- I mean "X"
'Clone Zone'
Eldrazi Smash!
I’d buy a Drawfee Secret Lair!
I want Nathan art on a card!
What about Revel in Riches as an alternative win condition or as a distraction play.
Should've waited till the end of the video to comment. Oh well.
we talk about it extensively in the show.
Get Creative! I love Vihaan!
