thx, was looking for this =)
Plus honorable mentions:
Sheoldred, whispering one
Legendary lands:
- [ ] Eiganjo
- [ ] Sokenzan
- [ ] Takenuma
- [ ] Untaidake the cloud keeper
What would you take out in place of Sheoldred?
Did they miss that Luxior lets you use her +2 on herself? I think that alone makes it incredible.
^THIS
exactly what I was thinking.
They didn't miss it..
They mentioned Luxior and equipping it to Dihada, but never mentioned the fact that the plus ability can then target herself.
This definitely works though right ?
Fun little tech is using Dihada to give Ashling lifelink when you do her mini wipe
AND INDESTRACTABLE
Omfg!
Hearing Rachel Weeks is one of the guests I'm very excited to watch that episode she's an amazing guest
Rachel is one of the most creative deck builders I see across the EDH TH-cam space, and her sequencing in gameplay is excellent. Always glad to see her in CZ/GK content!
I can't imagine the amount of applications they are going to get
I'd imagine something similar to the emergency effect might happen. Like when there is an emergency in public most people will think "someone else will call, I don't have to" so noone does. There probably wouldn't be as many applicants as you think
I.E. It requires 10 years of video editing experience
For what is probably a 10$ an hour job..... yeah, alot.
@@masterthnag105now a days 15 is absolutely minimum for any job
Ashling actually seems kinda gas with dihada’s +2 since ashling will survive her own wipe effect thanks to indestructible and because she gains lifelink too that is potentially anywhere from a 10 to 40 point life swing depending on what your opponents are playing.
She needs to survive for that long though, and exile effects are quite common these days, both in white, blue and black.
I've managed to do it a few times, its really good.
I just ran this combo last night at my LGS. The board was full of other creatures. Had my ashling at +7, and did a wipe. Gained 98 life. Ashling is incredible.
So a couple cards I would suggest because I've been thinking about Dihada nonstop for several days now. I am obsessed. Main thing is going turn 3 legend into turn 4 dihada is super important to either protect when you minus or have something to +2 on. So most of these are super cheap legendary creatures.
Kalain, Reclusive Painter - 2 mana ramp into turn 3 commander. i would play that anyway especially because i can +2 on them. However, once you factor in that our commander makes treasures herself this card is a must include. Every creature you cast will just be slightly bigger, or if you stocked up a few treasures maybe even twice as big as normal. Add on top Lae'zel being recommended here it is incredibly easy to take the deck in a +1/+1 counter centric direction. Just a very solid glue piece.
Mila, Crafty Companion / Lukka Wayward Bonder - Front half is card draw if they remove any of our very scary legendary creatures and also protection for Dihada. Also just a 3 mana legend which is maybe the most important thing to be in the deck. Backside is a reanimation spell. Or card filtering. Or a warstorm surge if he gets there. Wouldn't put just him in the deck but as a freebie off of Mila its quite nice.
Kambal, Consul of Allocation - Just one of the best 3 drop legendary creatures out there in my opinion. That's about it. He's quite annoying especially if he always has indestructible.
Chainer, Nightmare Adept and Isareth the Awakener - Legends which let you recast things from the graveyard. Dihada gives Isareth free attacks. Still have to pay mana with these but thats fine they are cheap and most of our legends are cheap anyway.
Breena, the Demagogue - Card draw, counters (the secret synergy of the deck), and encouraging our opponents to hit each other instead of Dihada. EZ include.
Queen Marchesa - It's Queen Marchesa. Do you need anything else.
Less of a slam dunk, but Kervek the Merciless. He is 7 mana, however our commander gives us a lot of treasures and as a follow up after turn 4 he is absurd. This card takes away games. Imagine giving this LIFELINK AND INDESTRUCTIBLE EVERY SINGLE TURN. They have to remove it with bounce or exile or just lose and when they do you still get to take something down with it because they had to cast a spell.
A few of your favorite reanimation spells. As said, being able to make use of your graveyard is super important. Any of em will do, i suggest Yawgmoth's Vile Bargaining as its a legendary sorcery and kills something.
Aside from that you can just jam in literally whatever Red Black or White legends you want in here and have a blast. It is incredibly flexible because Dihada is card draw and ramp and only asks you play legends. Wanna go to town reanimating things? All in on Aggro with Isshin in there? Maybe take a page from Zurgo and go boardwipe tribal and keep one thing with indestructible? One of my favorite precons I've put work into upgrading in a while.
What's are your thoughts on a good reanimator package for this? Been thinking about mardu reanimator for the last couple of days for Dihada but I can't decide on what legendary creatures to include as reanimation targets or whether to go high/low cmc. I agree with a lot of the creatures you mentioned though!
Yes to Sol of this 👌🏽😄
In my opinion, her -3 is her best ability and what you should be looking to use when you first cast her. You nab one card and get 3 into your graveyard and 3 treasures or worst case you get 4 in your GY and 4 treasures - in the right deck it's almost draw 4 create 4 treasures.
You run lots of reanimation like Animate Dead, Reanimate and Living Death.
This way you aren't shoe-horned into running lots of cheap legends.
@@josecruz-mk5hs Phyrexian Reclamation! Constant source and you'll be gaining that life back with Dihada. 🤌
Bought this precon last friday and played 4 games with my guys. It won 2 games out the box, no upgrades. It was also really fun. Instantly one of my favorite commander decks. Looking forward to upgrading it soon!
Love your content. You guys teach me a lot about EDH and MTG in general.
honestly like this deck way more than I expected, definitely gonna pick it up now
I wasn't sure about this deck since I haven't played a legendary matters or a planeswalker commander before but this actually looks like a lot of fun. Might have convinced me to try it out!
There seems to be a subtle Knight subtheme that got sprinkled into this deck that I think would be a really fun pile with Shanid at the helm going in a different direction. Might be worth considering if you wanted to build a dedicated legendary creature / combat step strategy instead of this deck's mardu goodstuff approach. (A lot of the cards being removed from this list would be a shoe in for a Knight tribal deck such as The Circle of Loyalty)
Can't wait for the next Game Knights! Love Rachel's brews and can't wait to see her take on Dihada!
Gonna love the next one!
Applied, looking forward to an interview! And love the video
I was playing shanid and had honor worn shaku out when my buddy played an intruder alarm, and let me tell you, it works like a charm. Near infinite colourless as long as I was able to play a legendary creature which usually drew me another legendary creature which I could also play to untap all my creatures which allowed me to tap them all again for mana and then the process repaets itself until I had no coloured mana
I think it's going to be awesome I can't wait to get one
Man I wish I could re-locate. This would be such an incredible gig.
Thank you for all y’all’s hard work, the Command Zone really helps me get through the week.
If you want to add a tutor for legendary, definitely add search for glory. It’s less than a dollar, and is better mana wise than the creature they suggested
I was wondering why search for glory was not considered it's made for a deck like this 🥺
On the other side: Thalia's Lancers being a creature works better with graveyard return with the other currently available sources in the deck allowing you to cycle it better if need be. Sheoldred ftw!
My local lgs is doing a commander league where we play standard legal set precons. This deck is so much fun out of the box! I’ll use these upgrades for the coming weeks. We get to do 5 upgrades each week for 6 weeks
Both decks being released this set are fire. I’ll be getting the rainbow deck.
Dominaria was my favorite when it came out and it's looking like this sets gonna match the hype.
I am definitely putting in an application! Love your videos and content as well as magic and sounds like an amazing opportunity!
Phyrexian Reclamation is almost always an auto include in anything that runs black because if you dont abuse it, its the less viable target for removal on the board
And the flavor text, dont forget the flavor text
glad to see Garna getting some respect. 5 CMC is a good bit but I built a deck around alpha striking / mass-sacrificing, casting her, and sacrificing her in response to it. Forced Dash. way more powerful card than she has any right being!
As someone who's been playing Reki for almost a decade, Shanid makes me very happy.
Just bought her tonight got into a three pod and wrecked them pretty badly with a deck I haven’t used ever.
My pod had a trouble time getting around the indestructible legendary creatures man. It was pretty fun
So I'm Def gonna be picking up 2 of these one to keep in tact and one to get and put in my kaalia the vast deck
It would be nice to work with you guys. But I lived overseas so watching your videos is my only option. God bless your channel :)
Regarding the Boast ability of Varragoth, it can also be used before blockers are being declared, so it would have a certain trigger at least, of course it'd be better to make him indestructible, but it's still an option to attack with him while making another creature indestructible and attack with Varragoth
Aw man, this job sounds right up my alley, but I am still in school trying to earn my degree, so I can’t move right now. Really sucks, but I hope that whoever does get the job loves the hell out of it like I would.
I’d love to keep the Circle of Loyalty and make this into a kind of low-key mardu knights deck with the alternative commander. I think there’s enough legendary knights and equipment to work with to make that happen.
Great video, thanks. Regarding Zetalpa ... I think you forgot about your own game strategy for a moment. You are playing with Dihada and clearly want to make use of her -3 ability (you even added synergies to this ability). So ... you make 4 additional mana and cast Zetalpa on turn 5 (or even earlier, depending on your opening). Seems pretty strong to me.
Ashling is an indestructible massive life gaining board wipe with Dihada. Keep it.
I love the luxior, you can +2 itself every turn
wow the decks not even out yet already with the upgrade guide, good shiz
I had a good laugh at Josh calling Kari Zev's token "The Fair Ragavan"
Cadric reminds me of Inalla, from the wizard tribal deck a few years back.
This is imo the better precon of the two. The other is hard to mana fix and ramp up to get a ton of mana. This one is just playing cheap legendary creatures and in the late game you play the bigger ones.
Edit: technically the best case scenario of the painbow deck is op, but this deck is definitely more consistent and seems like it is more fun.
if they put in an into the north and farseek, like three of the kaldheim duals, the bfz lands, and bad fetches, it may hum.
@@emmanewton7342 good point.
I was really sold on Cadric when he was spoiled. I love the value he gives you with ETB, LTB, and attack triggers. Definitely one of the more interesting commanders that’s been spoiled thus far in my opinion. Not sure why he’s not been talked about more.
Because boros.
@@matthewhettel8316 Boros has gotten so much gas in the past two years
Great value in that deck I'm gonna pick one up to bulk up my isshin deck
@@seymour47 so just the lands plus lannery storm and the night whisper gets close to 40 bucks which is what I'm getting mine for from my lgs the Planeswalker and alternative commander are both interesting. So spending 40 bucks is gonna net me 5 cards I'm going to use guaranteed and then who knows with the other 95 I reiterate great value
Rachel weeks needs to be in more content, she’s an absolutely phenomenal creative mind in the magic community! Every deck I see her build I’m just like “fuck… I want that”
Arguel's Blood Fast is an interesting choice for either Commanders. Nothing wrong with a Legendary 2 drop Greed
I wish I was in my early 20's when these job openings were available. I wouldn't be able to relocate nowadays. Good luck to everyone that applies!
I think the best add is luxior, so that you can creaturize dihada, gave herself lifelink and indestructible pumping her at the same time and wait to ulti
try breena in this deck. card advantage, +1/+1 counters, evasion, kind-of goad, with vigilance-lifelink-indestructible... is REALLY GOOD
Omg that's a dream job
I don’t know if the card was out when this video was made, but I think it was. Final Parting is infinitely better than Thalia’s Lancer. Best way to build Dihada is obviously legendary matters, BUT with treasure and reanimation sub themes. You (almost) always send all 4 cards from Dihada’s -3 to the yard, you don’t want to when it’s not at permanent (Urza’s Ruinous blast or Primeval’s glorious rebirth). There’s also certain situations with creatures that reanimate others, where you’re okay adding them to hand. Pack the deck with all sorts of reanimation and treasure makers. Lots of incidental life gain (Piru, The Volatile or making Kaervek, the Merciless have Lifelink from Dihada). The life gain allows you to win the game with Bolas’ Citadel, best card in the deck. 100% add a living death. Since your graveyard will almost certainly be packed with better (and more) creatures than your opponents, living death is the best possible wrath for this deck (ruinous ultimatum a close second). 90% of your card draw should be spells that allow you to discard in order to draw (red card draw, thrill of possibility, big score, etc.). This way you can get high cost creatures into grave and cheat them out. A few of my other favorite cards in the deck are Ratadrabik or Urborg (whenever a legendary creature dies, make a 2/2 non legendary copy of it) and Gisela, Blade of Goldknight (doubles damage opponents/their permanents take from any source, even other opponents. Have this out with Kaervek and watch the world burn. Also halves damage you and permanents you control receive). Another top 5 card in the deck is probably from the precon, Odrich, Lunarch Marshal. Deification is better than Luxior. I know at the time this video was made, people didn’t know this, but it’s actually smart to NOT kill Dihada. Her -3 is so much value for the deck, and killing her just lets the player bring her back and use that again, right away. Deification is good against removal and cards that make Dihada useless (Koma, Cosmos Serpent), plus enchantments are harder to get rid of. Lae’zel is alright, but not a must add for the deck, as you’re very rarely trying to use Dihada’s Ult. Take it from someone that’s played the deck 100 times, it’s not going to happen. I’ve been able to do it once, and yes I used to run Lae’zel and Luxior, until recently. Neither are necessary for what you SHOULD be trying to do.
It would be a DREAM to work with you guys, but I'm from Brazil. I'll keep dreaming with it though
I was playing around with the idea of doing a “popular commander tribal” where all creatures are commonly seen commanders. And this feel like the deck to turn into it lmao.
Okay,I've got most of the "expensive" cards,I ll get this now.
Hey! Monuments are actually super underwhelming in tricolour decks. Everything being said about "equipment being not as good here" goes double for the monuments. Not only do you always need a creature to go with these, but it needs to fit the monument's colour to function properly as well. They are *easily* weaker cards than any of the exclusions that have been mentioned.
Source: "Trust me, I'm a Kethis player"
Also: Untaidake is kind of a trap card. It's nowhere near Ancient Tomb in terms of usefulness. Reasoning being that even in a "legendary themed" deck, at least 25% (if you are lucky) of your spells would probably end up being non-legedary. Those are you signets, your ramp, your instants, etc. That's just how it goes for deck construction. For instance in the stock decklist there's 18 out of 60 spells that you straight up can not tap Untaidake to help cast. And as an additional bummer it enters the battlefield tapped.
Kaya, the Inexorable will also be a great addition to the deck.
Luxior, giada's gift equipped to Dihada makes her a valid target for her own +2. Do that until her ult, she'll be indestructible
Unfortunately indestructible doesn't save planeswalkers. Indestructible creatures still take damage, and when a planeswalker's loyalty is reduced to 0 through damage, it's similar to a creature's toughness equalling 0.
That being said, Luxior is still a great addition!
@@nathan8659 This is true! That said, the card specifically says that the equipped card is no longer a planeswalker, meaning they couldn't swing at her, and damage won't remove the loyalty counters
@@zachmullen2310 oof I forgot about that part. That's cool!
@@nathan8659 Downside is that it DOES open her up to path though
A big one I think you missed, especially because you talked about adding boardwipes, is Massacre Girl - it's easy to overlook the fact that she's legendary!
Thanks for the idea!
I like all the praetors in it and personally helm of the host and the partner akroma I also would probably want to put alot of haste stuff and I dont remember if it's in it but sword of the animist is a good card and legendary
Look at Chainer, Nightmare Adept. Good graveyard utility and can get a big monster swinging with haste
That's so cool
Can't wait to get cadric already designed a deck around him
I'm going to try Heartless Hidetsugu in Dihada ⚡
Boast is an instant speed effect. if you declare the crature as an attacker, then when defenders are chosen, you can activate the ability.
YOu can activate before blockers even.
I would have slotted in Board the Weatherlight and Search for Glory. Both are cheap budget wise, and can grab legendary, and Board the Weatherlight hits artifacts, and if you put in snow lands, Search for Glory can grab those.
I think Piru, the volatile is an amazing card for this deck. Its expensive but its also a one sided board wipe
Yep, especially with cadric that makes a copy that dies on its own or with sneak attack
I thought the same thing
Personally like the new ratadrabik in this.... Plus for its own deck, but could be sweet in this
Piru the Volatile could be used as a recurring board wipe.
i think piru, the volatile would be good since it is legendary and a one sided board wipe in one
I'm brew-storming a Dihada goad/pillowfort deck first.
I’ll be adding:
Luxior
Queen Marchesa
Ratadrabic
Black Market Connections
Ghostly Prison
Sevinne’s Reclamation
Vault of the Archangel
Gonti, Lord of Luxury
Search for Glory (a cheap tutor to get a legendary to my hand)
I’d love to add Sheoldred, the Apocalypse but need to save up for it. Paired up with Black Market Connections, I can draw cards for free, get treasure tokens, AND the shapeshifter token for practically 0 loss in life.
Nice content
As I initially also wondered why they had Ashling, the Pilgrim in the deck, I think it was to make her indestructible when she blows up to keep her around
One word “lifelink”
@@mr.c8101 deathtouch
Would love to apply gang. Sadly relocating at the moment isn't feasible.
Great suggestions. I'd like to add Blade of Selves and Duke Ulder Ravengard giving your ETB/death triggers Legendaries Myriad can get really silly like Junji death triggers x 3 or Elesh Norn can quickly give your opponents board -8-8. I'd remove the legendary anthem for Dictate of Heliod, flashing it in can be a decent combat trick :P
legendary rule
@@Modernsour19 Yeah they die right after with out Mirror Gallery but you still get the triggers and effects for a brief moment :P
Love that jimmy has a Radiohead shirt on.
4:40 real start
I'm gonna get 2 of these precons and build both commanders separately with dihada being more about Graveyard and shanid being more about being aggressive with indestructible creatures
Oooooo “Anointed precession” 👀
Argument for Ashling, she is very good with Dihada’s +2 giving her lifelink and indestructible, then dealing a bunch of damage to everything can be super strong. Yes, she’s a large mana investment, but might be worth.
I would like to note that with Dihada and Luxior she can target herself with the indestructible until your next turn
I wish I could relocate but i am from the UK but goodluck to whoever gets it
I’m a little surprised you didn’t add Kalain, Reclusive Painter. Embercleave would probably be good too, for a slightly higher budget
embercleave a great fit and kalain, reclusive painter would be a easy 2 drop
Shanid gets really gross with effects like Cloudstone Curio. If you have dockside and any other legendary that is low cost in Mardu (Rograkh, Yoshimaru, Isamaru, Ragavan), you are gaining mana if there are at least 4 artifacts or enchantments on the field. You are also drawing cards in this loop until you choose to end it. There could be some cEDH potential for this deck, especially because we are in black for tutors.
I know "low cost" was refering to the cmc of the card but seeing it before ragavan made me chuckle
Dihada is amazing. Should run kaya the geist hunter from crimson vow
I want them to do a commercial like the upside one but in the middle of a game Knights episode
Ashling works well with the lifelink from Dihada
and indestructible, ain't she?
If Shanid is the commander, Zurgo Bellstriker is such a good card in there as a reliable draw engine.
Wow Ragavan and kolaghan too!!!
I play both zurgo in that deck
Here's hoping my application goes through 😅
Zetalpa is in the deck because of Odric i guess, every legendary having all zetalpa’s abilities is great, i even have both of them on my esika deck!
Yeah Zetalpa+ Odric is like back up if Dihada isn't around since Dihada +2 gives Lifelink, Indestructible and Vigilance to a creature and Odric shares it :P
i do love Sword of the Chosen for being the precursor to equipment. but yeah, its bad here
I love this deck but the only problem I have with it is that I have most of the cards that aren't new haha. But might be worth it anyway.
Building mine as a graveyard recurring deck with cards like chainer
Gentlemen this deck is the goat
YO I CANT STAND the Rogue's Passage slander. I've won multiple games because of that card. One of my favorites
I won my first game with krenko and just +2ing dihada for those sweet goblin tokens. Equipped him, had the +2/+2 day of destiny, etc. every other game after the cards were just too expensive and slow. The synergy is there but executing it is more often a miss
I would add chainer. For graveyard synergy
Can you do a video wear your review or rate all the new commanders
I would cut alesha or bell borca over the ashling, there are times late game where you can play it and sink the 6 mana into it. it even combos with Dihada since you can give it lifelink and indestructible and gain all the life you deal as damage.
I think this is the first time I've seen anyone recommend Untaidake, the Cloud Keeper for a deck. 😂
Thank you for the episode! This deck looks sweet.
Sent in an application, will relocate in a heartbeat. This is a once in a lifetime chance. If I were to email regarding application is there a preferred subject line/email for that?
I think this deck would be better with the new Jodah as the commander, I bought both the new precons and just combined both and made a Jodah deck, so basically the legend cards from this deck and the land base from Painbow
