Slivers and board wipes got it. Just make sure to throw in some counterspells for when your playgroup inevitably starts packing instant speed exile removal for your commander.
@@Rangerdp117 crystalline sliver for preventing counters, i forget which one gives hexproof, and some counters for boardwipes lol. gotta be crafty as a sliver lord
Look, my pod hates 3 things more than anything: Eldrazi, Slivers, and taxes. People would hateboard you off before any type of tomfoolery and I’d specifically save a counter in hand each turn just to hate off your combo pieces. I don’t care if I lose, the Eldrazi player and the Sliver players aren’t allowed to win. Build a different deck. 😂 Note: I have a Sliver deck, and 2 Eldrazi decks albeit 1 in in the form of mono blue Braids and is there to lull people into a false sense of half security before going “oops-all-eldrazi” on them. One of the few ways I’ve pulled a sneaky in my pod. Everyone has them.
@@RisingAboveThis yeaa, i have "slivers, but wait its zombies, no wait its cheated out all the eldrazi titans my bad(yes even the banned ones)" the pod loved it, but after 3 sucsessful games, its getting rebuilt as a nicer deck honestly, slivers are great. but overly hated. my merfolk and elfball go war harder and way more consistently
@@SardonicVida Could just run nothing but kill spells and protection for the Great Tree-Frog. Don't need trample when there are no creatures in the way.
@@SardonicVida Lyeline Axe is possibly one of the best cards to include in the deck if you want to optimize it. I personally run mine as a power matters deck instead of voltron because I've spent years trying to put together a deck focused around sacrificing the commander for value. I'm trying to kill my opponents by sacrificing it to cards like Rite of Consumption and Essence Harvest while using Feign Death and Kaya's Ghostform effects as both protection and tax evasion for my commander when I sac it.
Fun fact, a scammer called me yesterday and when they asked my name, I told them it was Valgavoth the terror eater. I know, wrong one lol. But I sure did deal then damage on their turn.
"You can't cast noncreature spells. Whenever you tap a land for mana, add one mana of any type that land produced." Clearly this means I can't cast [Sorceries] and that when I tap a land I [double] mana, right, right? 😇
“Vigilance Whenever you cast a spell, target opponent draws a card, then put a +1/+1 counter on target creature, it gets flying until end of turn. If this is the second time this ability has been used this turn, draw two cards.” leaving this here because i’m proud with how close i was for remembering my commander’s rules text.
My newest wall of text is "(1) tap: Create a token that’s a copy of another target creature you control, except it’s a 1/1 red Balloon creature in addition to its other colors and types and it has flying and haste. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step. Activate only as a sorcery."
Manabarbs, burning earth, wounds reflection, solphim, i could go on, so i am, citadel of pain if you use bounce lands instead of normal tap , needlehead, scrawling crawler. Theres so much attrition we can use
This is why building Mothman was so much fun. You cant just mill them out, you have to mill 1 card at a time for one creature to get all the points. But it was so easy for people to misread the card.
“I’ve heard much about you from my daughter,” Multani rumbled. “There was a time when I’d balk at your aid, phantom, but she has shown me the merit in Urborg’s strange ways.” “Gnshhagghkkapphribbit” replied Yargle
I tend to pick commanders that are really straightforward. Atraxa, Toralf, Zaffai. The only really complicated one is my Jadzi deck, which is a real pain to math out if you've got multiple instant spell copy effects like Storm.
Honestly the hardest part of Valgavoth is making him not strictly worse Ob. Like ideally you want lightning bolt level damage but rakdos has so many good pings. I want to play Valgoblins so bad but its just bad Ob and idk how to fix it. I will prob just commit to it still.
WOAH HEY NOW! That’s the best flavor of Gatorade you’re talking about. Trash talk dog poo all you like but leave the delicious, refreshing, and mouth watering cucumber lime bottle of heaven out of it please
"Flying Whenever this creature attacks an opponent, you may put an Angel, Demon, or Dragon creature card from your hand onto the battlefield tapped and attacking that opponent." You would think this one would be easy, but I've put my fair share of attack triggers in this deck by mistake 😶
I entered a Christmas deck exchange once and got the Grixis Ashnod, Not a Single card in the 99 was an activated ability involving Sacrificing something in its cost. So it just did nothing
well look on the bright side, at least they didn't repeat arcane signet in Syr Ginger! We mtg players are learning at a breakneck pace of one new braincell a year!
between multiple TCGs and League of Legends, I'm immune to reading. Not only can you not make me read but there's a chance I'll accidentally make you illiterate too.
While it's funny to dunk on people for not reading cards, Wotc isn't making it any better since reading the card no longer explains it at this point. Still kind of miffed about dungeons and the ring tempts you that it's basically mandatory that you have the token for it. Even if you memorize the effects, it's unlikely the other player(s) did also and actually trust that you know the correct order.
"Sliver creatures you control have indestructible" i think i got this one
Slivers and board wipes got it. Just make sure to throw in some counterspells for when your playgroup inevitably starts packing instant speed exile removal for your commander.

Yeah sounds like dragon tribal
MTG players are not beating the iliterate alegations today.
Speak for yourself nerd, no idiot alligators can beat me.
This is why the greatest possible commander is Yargle and Multani. Nothing to get wrong!
Until you see the deck has no trample / fling / combat buffs lol
Someone HAS to be that dumb lol

While I don't recommend responding to scam calls I do find that funny

@OdinMagnus I respect that. The main thing is you're now prolly on their list for people that actually responded
@@Nachotaco101 That's fine, let them keep calling me and leave those old people alone. =D
I love u
cucumber lime gatorade taking strays for no reason.
Cucumber lime is c tier at best
bro, strays? no reason? these are well aimed sniper strikes, for the reason that cucumber lime gatorade exists
@@otterfire4712 as a gatorade maybe, but as a drink???? That shit is SOOOOO refreshing
I wouldn’t say for NO reason 😂
Brother at this point we are just making the jankiest garbage decks we possibly can just for the hilarity of the roasts.
Lime Cucumber unironically goes HARD
Why are so many of you this wrong
LIMON PEPINO GATORADE IS THE BEST FLAVOR, YOU TAKE THAT BACK!
You're on your own on this one, chief
No i completely agree its the best flav.
they hated Jesus for speaking the truth
Cucumber lime Gatorade is the greatest Gatorade flavor. You sipping on Haterade, dawg.
I built my valgavoth deck in the "do thing: take damage" route, then picked cards that check things players will do on their turn, it's worked out!
I was gonna build a kickass Brinelin/Halana simic burn deck until i realized that Halana could only hit creatures, not face.
Lime cucumber gatorade is peak tho
Who would have guessed Mald’s worst take would be on Gatorade flavors?
"You can't cast noncreature spells.
Whenever you tap a land for mana, add one mana of any type that land produced."
Clearly this means I can't cast [Sorceries] and that when I tap a land I [double] mana, right, right? 😇
My brain don't word read the good things.
I have immense respect for the fact that you not only commented on both of your own roasts, you roasted yourself IN those comments.
Ayye, I actually like cucumber lime Gatorade..... 😆
This can’t be true brother
@maldhound Sorry to disappoint, Chief.
But I will die on this hill. 🫡
How do i get you to look at my deck 🎉😅
“Vigilance
Whenever you cast a spell, target opponent draws a card, then put a +1/+1 counter on target creature, it gets flying until end of turn. If this is the second time this ability has been used this turn, draw two cards.”

Cucmber lime is literally the best Gatorade flavor my hound
I won't stand for this cucumber lime gatorade slander
Manabarbs, burning earth, wounds reflection, solphim, i could go on, so i am, citadel of pain if you use bounce lands instead of normal tap , needlehead, scrawling crawler.
Theres so much attrition we can use
Damn why is cucumber lime Gatorade catching strays???
I know totally out of line, the stuff is good
Top tier flavor. So sad to see it from mald
Bruh there's so many shots being fired at the best flavor lately, I was gonna ask the same damn thing!
This is why building Mothman was so much fun. You cant just mill them out, you have to mill 1 card at a time for one creature to get all the points.
But it was so easy for people to misread the card.
I remember making my Valgavoth deck and having a few of those mistakes in the draft section.
Citadel of pain and mudslide are hilarious
My favorite commander
" "
Lady of the Mountain.
Don't need to read, she just needs lots of axes, hammers, a few backpacks, and a LOT of aura-maxing.
My commander says "Get a costco bulk discount on elementals" and "if an elemental you control dies, make it everyone else's problem"
Name this commander - when an opponent gets a token, copy their homework and take a sip of their milkshake.
Kambal
Every valgavoth player forgets to read that ffs

"Whenever A player casts a non creature spell, Ruric Thar deals 6 damage to that player"
Sounds streight forward to me.
WOAH HEY NOW! That’s the best flavor of Gatorade you’re talking about. Trash talk dog poo all you like but leave the delicious, refreshing, and mouth watering cucumber lime bottle of heaven out of it please
My main commander is simple. Cast historic spell --> draw card. Simple and i draw a lot of cards which is always fun
Yo, can review Traxos as a commander? One of my favorite decks to play
I have the og Edgar as my commander, so out of shame, I shall donate to the local library and probably a few orphanages too..
Sacrifice something whenever this creature enters or attacks
Creature gets bigger and I draw a card whenever I sacrifice something
We good
But that is a good flavor of Gatorade
Tell me you've never tried the cucumber lime Gatorade, without telling me you've never tried cucumber lime flavored Gatorade
I really need him to rate my winter deck man
I used to think kibo gave counters for my artifacts being put in the grave
My commander actually doesn't have the full text on it, because I have Old Vial Smasher the Fierce, where it doesn't mention the planeswalkers.
Yarus gives my creatures haste and nothing else at all
"You can cast noncreature spells from top of your library"
hmmm sounds about right
You will suffer for this slight on Cucumber Lime Gatorade
"Flying
Whenever this creature attacks an opponent, you may put an Angel, Demon, or Dragon creature card from your hand onto the battlefield tapped and attacking that opponent."
You would think this one would be easy, but I've put my fair share of attack triggers in this deck by mistake 😶
Beast the deathless prince...well he let's me play my opponents deck and my opponent can't do shit about it
Hey. Don't disrespect the cucumber lime Gatorade 😤
It's discusting how many direct damage sorcery based cards are in valgavoth decks on edhrec
mine says... companion
everything in my deck must be under 2 cmc
Since we are doing duskmourn. Can I get a Master of Keys Roast?
I entered a Christmas deck exchange once and got the Grixis Ashnod, Not a Single card in the 99 was an activated ability involving Sacrificing something in its cost. So it just did nothing
For context the deck I put in the Exchange was a Lightpaws Aura deck that I overheard killed someone on Turn 3.
Animatu the fateshifter, it was my first cammander and i want to know how i should have built it
Ayo, I'll fight you! Cucumber Lime Gatorade is delicious!
well look on the bright side, at least they didn't repeat arcane signet in Syr Ginger! We mtg players are learning at a breakneck pace of one new braincell a year!
Can you talk about Zilortha
But sir, I drink the cucumber lime. Am I the problem?
Day...honestly my ADHD made me forget...of asking for Lilliah, Undefeated Slickshot.
It's a reading comprehension problem, compared to YGO's general illiteracy problem.
Day 8 of asking for Inquisitor (Gregor) Eisenhorn :3
Hey that is the best flavor
Hey cucumber lime Gatorade is my favorite
between multiple TCGs and League of Legends, I'm immune to reading. Not only can you not make me read but there's a chance I'll accidentally make you illiterate too.
Cucumber lime Gatorade is the best Gatorade.
I will say, generically good damage effects usually trigger him every so often but id be picky about them
The number of times I've misused (usually at my detriment) Stella Lee makes me livid.
Can't believe this cucumber lime slander...
Bro Shuda been held back in 1st grade
I source all my dog shit exclusively locally, none of that imported crap!
Hey now, you leave cucumber lime Gatorade out of this. That stuff is delicious.
Guy at my lgs literally built the deck and also didnt read the yalg
Well I’ve read mine, but I still can’t pronounce, “Gnshhagghkkapphribbit.”
Hey don't be throwing cucumber lime under the bus that one is fire
Man talked shit on cucumber like Gatorade - unsubbed
Cucumber lime Gatorade is the best one tf

Seems simple enough. Oh and lose life when an equipped dude attacks but draw a card
But I like cucumber lime Gatorade 😭
Cucumber lime Gatorade is amazing
712 dollars is not okay
At the beginning of your upkeep gain 2 life. Rarely does anything else on the card matter
More like Shuda, Wuda, Cuda
Hey, that cucumber lime is good sh*t.
Im hurt, I love Cucumber Lime Gatorade. Much like this player loves being annoying.
I've been using the same commander since 2018 and I don't know its name. I have failed this city.
