@@tamus_the_beard791 yeah I think I like it a lot to this will be my first mono colored commander deck. I tend to play a lot of three color or recently I now have two five color decks as well, I've been really wanting to do my first monocolor this will definitely get me out of my comfort zone. But overall I'm just looking forward to owning one of the decks of one of my favorite TH-cam magic personalities.
Bean dip yep, even killing him did nothing. I’m like, “Guys, these are emblems, and they are never going away! If you aren’t at least gonna kill him, kill his fricking Chandra!” He ended up not winning, but instead my rival won again.
I first saw Torbran and thought, "oh he belongs in my mono-red deck", and never thought to stop and think "OH! He should be my mono-red deck!" I thank you for opening my eyes to the possibilities this day.
@@rob-8742 assuming people let you live long enough for Elesh Norn to hit the field from your command zone... 7 CMC is a high number to hit for a color that struggles to ramp and draw cards. But yeah... I agree, mono white has been the weakest singular color for a while now, though I would argue that Boros is still weaker than mono white, mostly because the legendary creatures for Boros are largely large and clunky to try to play in those color, with Feather and Akiri being the exceptions.
Oh I'm not saying it shuts down the deck completely but I do run ellesh norn as my commander in my angel deck and have land tax and other cards that let you search for lands if opponent's control more lands than I do plus I also run cards that double the mana when each land is tapped like gauntlets of power extraplaner lenz etc. So I can run high cost creatures and keep 30 lands in the deck and when i get going its devastating also love gift of Immortality in that deck lol
white is definitely the weakest... I can only think of sram mono white decks... red atleast has a handful of commanders... What other mono white commander is there? plz don't say avacyn...
I have been doing research on MTG because my friends have tried to get me into the game... And well I am finally getting into the game and came across your channel. I'm in love with how this deck is set up and looks stupid fun to play amazing video guys definitely got this new players brain thinking about his first deck build!
I was just looking at building a Torbran deck earlier today, and I almost made a bunch of mistakes you pointed out in the video, so thanks for the advice in my future of bolting everyone and everything!
Oh man! This is what I am talking about. I have never played a mono-red deck before. None of the commanders seem interesting to me. Ill be honest when I first read this card I was just thinking about attacking creatures and I overlooked it but the way you built and explain this deck make me super excited to give it a go. Thank you!
Congrats on getting sponsored!!! You worked hard for it and deserve it. Your videos are high quality, simple (in a good way), aren't flashy, and evident you put care into all of them.
Very cool commander deck. It has so much potential to go off without the costs of a typical Competitve Commander Deck. Good stuff and congrats on the cool stuff inc sponsorship!!
Legolas: *kills the Oliphant* Gimli: "That still only counts as one" Torbran: "Well actually..." Cool content first time seeing your videos consider yourself liked and subscribed too
"Ooooooh! there once was a noble named Thorbran the red who fed the whole table with damage and red, The table frowned for what he had said:" THOSE ARE RATHER EXPENSIVE LANDS YOU HAVE". The price of progress put the table to rest ".
Torbran is flippin' sweet! I grinned so wide when I first saw him spoiled. Thanks for giving me so many great Ideas, man. Good solid video :D Stay frosty!
Thobran is a red commander I'm excited about! Pure mono red burn for commander sounds great and balancing it right is all the more challenge! Thanks for putting this video together!
Stunned to see the variety of different applications of Torbjorn. Figured impact tremors and goblin bombardment were staples, but there's a surprising amount of variety here
Torbran Trouble Takes Toasting to Totally Tantalizing Tiers of Tears to Takedown Two or More Opponents!!! LOVE the deck! Thanks, DJ!!! (AKA Jumbo Commander!!!)
Thank you dj, you inspired me to play commander and because of you i have my 2 favourite decks: sidisi, brood tyrant and ruric thar, the unbowed. Showing my playgroup that you can win on a budget, for that i wanna say thank you. This is again an amazing deck! Keep up the good work!
I think a big part of what makes Torbran sneaky good is that he breaks symmetry on damage-based effects, which effects like this in generally haven't done in the past. It actually opens up a more control-based strategy of using Earthquake-style effects to never let your opponents keep a creature around, ideally having kitted out Torbran with Darksteel Plate or something (but not necessarily, since 5 damage kills a lot, and we probably do have some targeted damage as well) and finishing them off either slowly with something like Mana Barbs, or quickly by sinking a bunch of mana into a Pyrohemia or a Tempt with Vengeance.
What a great commander to get new players into EDH and deck building! I'm sure everybody has a TON of bulk red spells that could be put to use with Torbran. I'm thinking adding a sprinkle of Kiki-Jiki would be absolutely bonkers. As always, great video!!
This is probably one of the most awsome decks I have ever seen. This is the reason I love Jumbo Commander....he always has some of the coolest and very powerful decks that can just amaze me ^^
This deck looks so cool! Probably the first mono coloured deck I have seen that has interested me. I haven't been playing commander for long and would love to try a mono red deck!
I really enjoy your videos and I have been waiting to see your take on torbrand since he was first spoiled. You sir have really earned this sub. Keep up the good work and dont forget to take care of yourself
This was a really amazing deck tech. I looked over the dwarf as just another furnace effect. But including the devils is great. I'm glad your getting sponsored now, you definitely deserve it
Wish I had something witty to say but gladly others fill that role in the comments! Quite new to your channel, but since I saw you in Game Knights I knew I was a fan. Keep up the good work! 😁
I see it as a sign sent from our prophet Magus of the moon and from the Blood moon itself that 2 days after I decide that my next mano red EDH deck should be goblins this gets revealed. Great video and thanks for creating the foundation for the next strike against the dreaded mano blue!
Woah i was just thinking about building this guy, and its awesome that you put out a primer! I would love to win the deck, but even if i don't, you have given me some ideas for my own version

"How would you rate your burn on scale from 1 to 10?"
"10+2"
~Torbran at doc, probably
Super cool build
Aragorn- "You have my sword."
Legolas- "And my bow."
Gimli- "And my +2!"
your deck techs are so chill, but still have a great enthusiasm about them. thanks for the hard work always DJ
Me: "I don't play monored". Also me: "I now play monored"
IKR?
“Chandra is best for mono red”
Torbran: “hold my beer”
pogg101 “Sorry, hold my (1+2=) 3 beers. I have 3 beers, and I need to finish this job before I get myself triple drunk.”
The new chandra with torbran is insane. Every upkeep they get lighting bolted???
Bean dip my friend got their Chandra emblems up to 5 in our game last Friday, imagine that with Torbran. 15 fricking damage a turn!
@@Solrex_the_Sun_King yea thats disgusting lol and there nothing you can do to get rid of emblems which is even more disgusting. Love it
Bean dip yep, even killing him did nothing. I’m like, “Guys, these are emblems, and they are never going away! If you aren’t at least gonna kill him, kill his fricking Chandra!” He ended up not winning, but instead my rival won again.
"Is +2 damage a lot?"
"Depends on the context.
On one card? No.
On every single red source of damage to every opponent? Yes!"
“You get a Lightning Bolt! You get a Lightning Bolt! Everyone gets a Lighting Bolt!” - Oprah, Mistress of Red Fell
"Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a Devil."
"What about *2 additional damage*?"
"Aye, I could do that."
EDH Community: “Playing burn in commander isn’t viable.”
Jumbo Commander: No one can tell me what is and isn’t viable.
“Yeet me.” “...what?” “YEET ME... just don’t tell the elf...”
"You just take that Lightning Bolt, and you hand it an ax."
- Torbran, probably
It's funny because he can turn Bolt into Lava Axe.
Now take that lava axe and burn the world down
“How much is 2 damage really?”
-Opponent
“Allow me to introduce myself”
-Torbran
would have been awesome if that was his flavor text
"Welcome to the party!"
- Purphoros
@@andrewsparkes8829
"Perpheros my old friend! When did you get here!?" -Torbran
I feel like these would be great drinking buds.
Man, the way you talk about this guy makes me think he DWARFS all other mono-red decks!
"Some people like to watch the world burn."
Torbran: I want the whole table to burn.
"I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole, diggy diggy hole...."- Torbran
Faceless on the battlefield, you will meet your doom

"Do you like dwarves who hurt?"
"What if I told you he was NOBLE though?"

Love it
AND MY AXE! PLUS 2...

Torbrand-"Hold my axe"
"...with your face!"
I first saw Torbran and thought, "oh he belongs in my mono-red deck", and never thought to stop and think "OH! He should be my mono-red deck!"
I thank you for opening my eyes to the possibilities this day.
For some reason you're the first person to point out that he works with any source not just spells and I appreciate that
All hail the Gimli commander.
Me: Takes a opponent down to 0 life.
Also Me: "That still only counts as one!"
For the love of the gods please tell me you'll put Fling in for the Helm's Deep flavour lol

“And again..”
“And again.”
Noah Jung you thought u where bringing your axe alone?! HOW DARE
Very funky deck, super cool to finally see a commander like this
"(Mono Red) Burn is not viable in Commander"
Gimli: "Let me take that"
"Here's the robber. The law says we should cut him a finger for that"
Torbran: "Let's cut three of them..."
"Purphuros trigger"
-That one guy
"...and my Lava Axe!"

My opponent: "so I'm taking 5"
Me: "+2"
Gimli- "And my axe!"
Me-" what does equate to in Magic Damge?"
Torban-" about 2 more from all red sources"
Torbran: I like this “shows lightning bolt”
But I also like this “shows lightning bolt that deals 5 damage”
With guttersnipe on the board it becomes 9 damage. Yikes.
I was just looking at building a Torbran deck earlier today, and I almost made a bunch of mistakes you pointed out in the video, so thanks for the advice in my future of bolting everyone and everything!

"Burn them all"

Burn them all, plus two.
Such a sick deck teck, im excited for red again
Very nice a little heat in the kitchen.
Me: "mind my own business"
Torbran: PLUS 2!!!!!!!!!!
Torbran is my favourite legend from Eldraine he looks like the most exciting one to brew a deck around
Can't wait for syr Konrad myself
"Question in quotation marks"
Character: "Funny Response"
You had me at "Pingers are now Lightning Bolts," and "Chandra, Fire of Khaladesh flips in one hit"
I like how in magic all these new and weird strategies can come together in one game of commander. Looks like a great asset in my arsenal :)
"Math is for blockers"
- an attacker
that was unbearable
