@@Chonus Listen I know it's really shaking up the meta right now, but I think it's just hype. Prices for cards with Honse are already going down only a day later.
To summarize the build: get the Prismari Performance precon, slot Ovika in as commander. As a bonus, you get Veyran, which doubles cast triggers on instants or sorceries, so you get double goblins on that deal. Another reasonable include is Arcane Bombardment. Once you get it going, your spells can flood the board with goblins, and the stuff you exile with the bombardment can wreck your opponents. Balmor, Battlemage Captain is also a good inclusion since he will pump your goblins and give them trample on each instant or sorcery cast.
Thank you for this! Was building a deck watching a bunch of videos and this literally gave me a ton of cards I already had at a cheaper price. Building blocks baby, building blocks!
Did I miss it or did you forget to mention Skirk Prospector? He does sound like a must in this deck, especially if you find a way to recast your spells...
Lots of aura enchants that can bounce themselves or return to hand on death trigger, ghitu firebreathing and fools demise go infinite as well as like 30 other cards, goes infinite batterskull
If it weren’t for the mana cost, I might expect to see this in classic Izzet builds. But then again, Izzet can also generate a TON of treasure tokens in short order, so maybe this card will be more popular than I’m assuming. Wouldn’t be the first time I was wrong.
This isn't a Spellslinger deck. This is a GOBLIN SPELLSLINGER deck! A lot of cards care about goblins, and a lot more want to sacrifice those little buggers. Skirk Prospector, for example, turns gobbos into treasures. Get 5 goblins for a 5 mana spell. Make 5 mana by sacrificing the goblins! Profit? Lets storm away.
Correct way to play is with enchantment that bounce themselves to hand or go back to hand on a death trigger, also goes infinite with batterskull, ive been brewing hard, I think this cmdr is busted and wins turn 4 or 5 constantly
Yesterday I just started making an Ovika deck but I took from inspiration from a video I saw and instead made it an enchantress deck. It works amazingly well especially once you get Invasion of Segovia to flip and now all your goblins are free mana to cast more noncreatures that will get you more goblins. Being able to cast shared animosity and making three goblins and swinging with 15 power (including commander) is pretty intense. Especially with removal that feels more permanent of putting things under enchantments it just feels more dependable
Slotting this into my Brudiclad deck. Having 5 Ovikas and then casting some big cmc spell and then swinging with a load of 6/6 ovikas is going to be terrifying.
I wonder if this would fit in with Hinata decks since you’re likely playing large X spells. Seems like this would be a good finisher after tapping your opponent’s creatures.
I would probably shove like 20 mana rocks into this deck; Because as much as there are better spells to throw out, mana rocks are never bad. At their best they get your commander out faster, and once Ovika is out, each mana rock gets you more goblins. Basically you can shove in card draw, mana ramp, and protection, and that's the deck.
I think you forgot to mention source or class which at level 2 would give you ramp with those creatures furthering out more of your game plan I'm gonna put it in my thunder conductor deck.
And then combine that with Magnus the red You have a filthy combo of tapping them for Mana and then reducing the cost of Mana on top of that period further in your game plan. Volcanic eruption anyone? Is or temporal fissure is another option.
I can make this the commander of my muxus deck. Throw in some red blue x spells, some goblin synergies and boom you got a board state (that you can protect w/ blue) and beat faces with goblins that are compleated all will be one
This looks like a good design. High mana value commander that encourages playing high mana value spells, and though it severely taxes targeted removal it isn't boring hexproof/shroud uninteractable bullshit.
Extra turn spell and sacrifice goblins for mana storm get some extra damage in with attacking because of haste just a cool storm and just crazy out of nowhere kills fun good times. Just need some good ramp and treasure to get it out while it'll be good.
i actually just built this deck using only cards i already owned, so the only card i need to buy is the commander. I ended up putting a huge emphasis on mana rocks and draw spells. Those will both help propell me forward quickly to help me keep up with everyone else, but also they will never be a dead draw late game cause at worst i can throw down some mana rocks to make more goblins
Great minds think alike. I built mine with the same foundation. With a good amount of x spells and an Ashnod's Altar, you can play some really scary turns. Also built in mill as an alternate wincon for those times I come across decks that prevent/reduce combat damage, interact a lot with board wipes, or go wide enough to keep up with my goblins. Altar of the Brood is so good.
@luuhq lol i just make those goblins hurt in the way in with stuff like impact tremors, and on the way out with viscious shadows while i just punch you in the face
Coat of arms will make 5 haste goblins off the cast… which become minimum 6/6s. But likely you’ll make a few more, and even 10 11/11 haste goblins will win games out of nowhere. Coat of arms seems akin to surge to victory in that it’ll just win you the game. Imo this is the proper power level a 7 cost commander should have.
Brothers war was a lot of fun. Probably my fav set in last few years. Good reprints, fun sealed and draft format, some great commander new cards. Feels powerful without being broken.
1 fav deck I got is my 9 Fingers deck: ward pay 9 life. It's a voltron with gates being a alt win sub theme. But I've smacked people with her for 12 double strike. When people target her I asked 'you pay the 9?' They do I just nod and tap 2 and counter their spell. I remove a removal spell and make then pay almost 1/4 of their life.
it’s pretty expensive, but I feel like braid of fire would be great with this commander. braid of fire is just great in general if you have a bunch of instants, but in this case it can sometimes just cast a crazy cmc spell for effectively nothing.
I think this will be great in the 99 of Lucia Cane , that decks all about casting huge X spells , getting x hasty gobbos on top of that seems amazing . Plus it’s in green so you can hit that 7 mana easier , plus imagine this with great henge , if that’s your only creature you pay 3 , make 9 goblins , then you immediately get 2 of that mana back to cast another spell .
One of the cards that immediately popped into my head was Magnus the Red, from the Warhammer precons, and while I highly doubt that that’d be budget friendly, these two on the field would be my magic christmas land
Magnus the Red is currently 2.25 US on TCGPlayer. Worth it in my opinion. Even with one trigger, the rest of your instants and sorceries will seriously impact the game.
I think he's a bit overblown. Nice ability, but you have to resolve a MV 7 *and then* have stuff to do afterwards. Ward is nice but by the time the MV 7 hits, they can pay the 3+3 ward. So you're just getting a lightning bolt for your 5UR cast, unless you happen to have a FOW type counter.
Irenicus's Vile Duplication is an auto include in a deck with this guy. Who needs access to green and white for token doubling when you can just double your token generator...
I dont think its that bad its a Metallurgic Summons but it gives quantity over quality. I'd brew this with every single effect like Manaform Dragon, Deekah, Metallurgic etc
You wanna brew this with aura enchantments that can bounce to your hand like [ghitu firebreathing ]or auras that go to hand when enchanted creature dies like [fools demise ] izzet aura storm
I don't think it has any chance of seeing any real play in Standard. Black is the most powerful color right now and they have way too many ways to cheaply kill creatures and this cost 7 cmc which is NOT as good as Titan of Industry and Ovika has to survive an opponents turn before you can go off. I just don't see a home for this anywhere.
Goes infinite with both, kirk prospector and any enchantment that bounces itself or gors back to hand when the creature dies, I alrrady brew and broke the cmdr has 29848r8r ways to make infinite hastygobos
Wow, that's powerful. Equal to mana value. So X spells are good, and you can do stupid stuff like Fist of Suns to make cheap spells cost more so that you can abuse the goblin tokens further.
@@1josephcallender oh, that's right! It would still work for abusing high costing spells, I suppose. Cast something that costs 8, but for 5 mana and get 8 tokens 🤷
You forgot to mention that with this commander, Flickering ghost + Gilded Lotus + Archaeomancer = as many 1/1 goblins with haste you need to finish game at your combat step.
@Mayor Zeus What turn is that on and it the game even fun. I think it's just whatever. Let's say in Blue Red you get to ramp there by turn idk 5 at the best and that's just to cast it and then you still have to have remaining ways to get mana to do a combo to win which really this kinda deck isn't fun you. People can have the opinion this is great but I'm certain I will probably rarely see it and it's gonna go for about a dollar. The difference between 6 mana and 7 it's big and even 6 is getting to be too much.
@@kevinlachance669 itll be fun in pwr level 7-8 deff not cedh cause its to expensive, if your a storm player like myself youll enjoy piloting it, especially running cards like Ghtiu firebending to go infinite with any mana sac outlet, any enchantment in red and blue that either bounce themselves or go back to hand when it goes to grave go infinite, as well as cards like Batterskull, so its a very interesting deck in that if played right, its a storming enchantment aura deck lol

Really surprised you didn't mention sorcerer class or ashnods/phyrexian altar.
Skirk prospector and skullclamp I figure should also be mentioned
One busted card at a time, Jeez!
would work pretty great with sorcerer class lv2 since tokens are gonna just make up for the mana cost
Honestly wished the card was 3UURR just makes a card look more menacing

5 would make them 5/5. For each other. Assessment is still right though
No, because they’re phyrexians and so is Ovika
Since the trigger is on cast instead of on resolution, an Overrun type of spell would be so strong.
Between brothers war and this, its hard to state which is going to be my favorite set ever
Brothers war was a lot of fun. Probably my fav set in last few years.

So put it into the 99 for my Vadrik is what you're saying? Easily can replace Novice Pyromancer.
You don’t really need an existing army to cast “Surge to Victory”, with the commander out, you’ll be creating 6 goblins before the spell resolves.
it’s pretty expensive, but I feel like braid of fire would be great with this commander. braid of fire is just great in general if you have a bunch of instants, but in this case it can sometimes just cast a crazy cmc spell for effectively nothing.
I see a nasty combo with dragons approach and that one artifact that gives everything ripple

Does cost reduction also mean goblin reduction?
crazy in galazeth prismari
The format has sped up so fast now that commanders like this are far more playable than in the past. YMMV depending on the group you play with.
Aaaand Brudiclad just got a new BFF :P
Put this as part of Chaos warriors cascade deck and this goes nuts.
Magnus The Red also is a silly card to pair with this
Play Sorcerer Class and get it to level 2 and now all those goblin tokens become mana dorks!

I read it as “Enema Goliath” I was like, ummm
Strong casual commander.
I mean...phyrexian altar essentially just makes every noncreature spell suddenly free...
But Ashnod's Altar makes spells almost free and nets you more goblins.
Both work, however it just depends on what you need more, tons of colourless or half as much but any colour@@luuhq
