I wanna see an example of Political Manipulation aka Kingmaker deck archetype. Mitch discussed earlier that grouphug does not actively try to win and supports the group but what if you just want a deck that supplements another pre-existing deck. To put it into context, its a sort of deck you'd use in an Emperor/Archenemy variant of Commander wherein you play in a team and get your teammates to win.
On the topic of Phelddagrif, I built your deck, but I still couldn't help boosting the budget on it to include some fun stuff. I've gotta say, it wins an abnormally large share of the time more than a lot of my other decks, plus everybody has a great time. Politics goes a long ways, and I've learned the true value of that through trying this deck out.
I know this is a bit of late advice, but it’s for your gameplay series that you’re making, the reason I like Game Knights or MTG musdatah rather than Star City Games is that there isn’t any lollygagging. They don’t take time off from the game to chit chat and talk about other things. Also Game Knights is so popular partly because of the amazing editing and filming done in the video. I don’t think you will have a problem with any of the things I have listed in the comment because u do very well with these things on your normal videos. I just thought I would let you know why I prefer certain game shows than others. Also it doesn’t hurt to have background music that matches the tune of how the game is right now. For example casual music when the game is just starting or nothing has happened yet. I hope this helps.
Game knights is directly sponsored by wotc. Amazing editing and filming takes time. Lots of time and expertise. Would you rather have one episode a week, or one every two months? Game knights is great, but it's hard for other channels to compete with endorsement.
You said Simic Ascendancy! You rule, I have never seen much about that card, but it was my first and favorite alternate win condition, and I've loved it since I built that first Simic deck. It's such a satisfying feeling when it succeeds, it's the kinda victory that even your playgroup is kinda rooting for (though that didn't stop them from whipping out Return to Nature every chance they got)
This series is good to show to a new player to help them get a feel for the types of strategies they might see at a table or that they might want to try out. Thanks.
Group Hug/Slug. It’s actually amazing how many combo pieces you can set up because the other players don’t see you as a threat. I never play infinite combos, though
I don't know that it's an official archetype, but my favorite one is pretty much the exact opposite of Group Hug, in that instead of helping everyone you're trying to kill everyone off, including yourself. I call it the Suicide Bomb (working title, unless there's already something that does that let me know). I'm just not sure who to run as the commander at this point, otherwise I'd have it up and running. Here's an idea for you for the next April 4th deck. The deck that wants to end in a tie. Spam the deck with infinite loops (not unlimited stuff that gives you an out to stop, but proper infinite loops, or something that mills everyone out in one shot with proper draw to make everyone lose all at once rather than in turn sequence, or something where it hits everyone for lethal like what I'm working on). I'm imagining the line in the video being something like "Here's how we're going to win. We're not. The point of the deck is to make everyone lose."
@@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299 The archetype screams Rakdos to me. Not just the colors, but the flavor of the guild itself. “A Rakdos party is considered a flop if anyone lives to tell about it.” I'm honestly considering Vial Smasher and Tana for this. Tana dumps saprolings out that I can use for fodder and Vial Smasher gives me more random damage chances. Also, having green in my color wheel gives me more ramp to get the shenanigans off the ground faster.
I definitely consider that Group Hug decks try to win. It's just that the less aggressive nature of the decks usually appeals to less Spike-y players. But I actually see those decks as a pretty similar thing to Stax decks, but where Stax decks try to break symmetry while punishing the whole board, Group Hug decks try to break symmetry by helping everyone. This comes by slowing the game down, political favors and straight up just being too much of a help for people to get rid of. Great video tho'! And thanks for giving a shout out to possible different interpretations of the archetypes!
Some still to cover are big creature reanimator, graveyard-centric (dredge/cast from grave/count grave cards), tokens, creature aggro/mid-range with disruption, enchantress, mostly artifacts (ex. Breya), non-storm-spellslinger, politics, steal, mono-black control with ETB trigger creatures and graveyard recursion (Chainer, Balthor)
Some archetypes you might want to delve into could focus on other 'permanent matters' decks, such as super friends (planeswalkers), Enchantress, and Artifact decks, or even just Historical decks. Often times these permanent focused decks have overlap with other archetypes but have a number of good-stuff style cards that specifically care about their permanent type in particular. I'd argue that Blink falls under this as well somewhat as it focuses primarily on generating recursive value from creatures but in a completely different style from aristocrat decks. Another option I'd include because it's not as common is 'X Matters', where X is a mechanic such as Blink/ETB triggers, Power/Toughness, Flying/non-flying, Lifegain/loss, Cycling/Draw/Discard, or specific counters, like Energy, Experience, Charge, and/or Poison/Infect. I imagine you have -1/-1 counters already lined up for the future too. I doubt you'll get to the point where you have to go super niche anytime soon, but talking about stuff like shuffling/top of library decks, combat manipulation via Odric/Banding/Fight, multiple copy decks like rat colony/persistent petitioners, or getting as crazy as pingers/punishment decks. Not all options are as popular, but there's plenty out there, even if it seems like this could stall after 3-4 videos. I don't feel attrition/incremental value decks are something worth discussing as it's own archetype as it's a bit broadly defined and it would be better to focus on the archetypes that fit that style of play, like you have with Aristocrats/Tokens/Counters decks so far. Unlike the permanent deck archetypes I mentioned above it's more of a natural consequence of the Commander Ruleset and the loose gentlemen's agreement that we've settled on to begin with that that particular playstyle is encouraged. It gets tons of support, but not in any specific way. Some people just like to durdle and do cool things, and that's what Commander advertises itself as to begin with.
Somewhere between Group Hug and Stax is Group Slug, an archetype that tries to attrition everyone's resources and life total as fast as it possibly can. Like group hug, it doesn't play favorites, or try to win. Like Stax, it tries to make games painful. Unlike both, it tries to make them short.
My favourite is The CopyCat Archetype. You play Commanders that don't necessarily synergise well with your deck or that throw your opponents off your trail or that will make it harder for them to correctly threat assess your deck and playstyle. Mostly, though, you'll play clone spells and copy whatever is best across the board, keeping a low profile (grouphugging a bit helps) and playing big splashy spells to finish everyone or yourself. XD
I love your channel it helps me learn about different cards and allows me to plan on how to play against sertain decks as well. So thank you. Keep up the great work
My favorite archetype is similar to the group hug deck... I like highly political commanders. Commanders that are looking to play the table and the players, but still have a way to winning in the end. To this end I really like Zedruu as you can give resources to an opponent with her ability to prop up players who are behind, but can also give away things like Statecraft to stall out voltron decks or other similar nasty things that can get you closer to winning. I also really enjoy Queen Marchesa for this kind of build since you can let your opponents fight over the monarch status while you gain benefit even if you're not the monarch, and her deck can run a lot of interesting cards like Death by Dragons that specifically benefit everyone except the player you don't want to help. Sadly, everyone in my playgroup really hates when I play these kind of decks and goes out of their way to kill me first if I pull out either of these commanders :(
My favorite archetype is mill; I have both a Modern mill deck and a Commander mill deck. The Modern one is Esper and still needs some specific cards, and the Commander one is helmed by Phenax and still needs some work (read: reanimator)
I'm trying to build a deck for each of the prominent archetypes. It's pretty interesting challenge because it really tests your deck building skills and techniques
Hey, great episode as always! I just wanted to give a bit of feedback: in the past few videos, I’ve noticed rather abrupt cuts between the different segments. For example, in this video at 4:00, you end the first segment with “Let’s go to our next archetype”, then the transition, and then “So what exactly is the +1/+1 counter archetype?”. This sounds like you’re calling back to a previous sentence (as if you’d ended the previous segment with “which will be +1/+1 counters” or similar), but because there is no such sentence, it sounds abrupt and jarring. I’ve also noticed this in some of the more recent deck tech videos. In the recent Massacre Girl video, around 3 minutes, there’s an uncannily long pause between the “we‘ve got some other ways that can help ramp us” and “let’s go through them now in tactic number 2” while the transition plays. I think it would sound much more natural if you cut the audio so you were already introducing the next tactic during the transition, rather than only once the title card is displayed.
Hey Mitch! I would love to see your take on a Kykar deck, I'm currently thinking of ways of combining him as a commander with the new jeskai precon, but I'm struggling to find win conditions, mainly because this is a color combination that I've never played before, so I don't know many cards
You haven't mentioned mi favorite archetype: I PLAY BIG CREATURES (and some sort of answers to dangerous things) AND SLAP YOUR FACE. Used to play It with surrak dragonclaw and It can be pretty nasty to handle :)
I'm building a Sisay (new one) political/hug but after seeing your video I think I should take the concept o Hug out - I intended to make it a mix of K&T and Marchesa.
I don’t agree that group hug decks cant try to win. Personally, i think everyone should come to the table hoping to win. Group hug decks also get a bad rap for mostly helping the player to their left, which is a problem you need to try and avoid in deck constucion. I run a Rike of Two Reflections group hug deck that ramps and draws for the table, runs defensive cards, and tries to win with Trecharous Terrain or a big X spell.
Would you consider Feather as a Storm deck since you can the same spell each turn to gain advantage and inflict damage when you cast a spell, or another archetype like spellsinging ?
From what I've seen, a group hug deck helps everyone at the table BUT helps themselves MORE. It's a political deck that says "don't attack me if you want more hugs" and then after building up, it kills the opposition.
I disagree with the sentiment that Group hug doesn't try to win. I'd say it's about helping people, thus making yourself the least attractive target or helping everybody but mostly yourself.
Rats I'm a stacks deck player. I enjoy building decks that can suddenly have everyone hindered by the way I built the deck plus my resource denial aka discard neheb was a very competitive deck (use to be just full tribal, whether combo or just plain aggro, all the time) for my first playgroup.
My favorite deck to play is a pure chaos deck. Not trying to win, just trying to make everything REALLY messed up for all of your opponents. a true chaos player has no win condition. only suffering.
no Voltron? or isn't that consided an Archetype? Mill? I don't know. personally I like tribal, I'm a tribal player, but I'm gona try pother types of deck, so my next deck will be Voltron with some stax elements (Gaddock Teeg maybe, I'll see)
I have a lot of decks that win with an infinite combo but draw into them naturally and play the control role, making sure you don't die as you passively acrew card advantage and find your pieces. Is that an archtype? Like, just control, countering spells, staying alive? Also Pillowfort! You should do pillowfort as well!
I think it's be easier for me to name an archetype I don't play... I do have: artifact storm, stacks, prison, combo, pillow fort, lands, clone, taking turns, tokens, aggro, burn, tribal (many of these), counters, tron, voltron, anthem..... I feel like I'm forgetting some but that's the curse of owning many many decks...
Wierdly enough i've won alot of games with my k&t grouphug deck ...its a verry fast commander deck due to me helping others with ramp card draw and sometimes creatures. but my combo comes out of nowhere witch I think a wel build grouphug deck thrives on and if u wanne build grouphug decks that want to win id recomand finding card that seem to do somthing but get overlooked. The main ways I win with my deck is brudiclad from commander 18 and finale of glory. But I can also win with non legendary clone copy's of either multani(dominaria) or kephnet(amonketh) . Since my k&t rn is a legendary tribal and clone deck to also do smth. Other grouphug decks of mine is zedruuh(curses) and xantcha (group chaos) win cons in there are mind over matter temple bell mill in zedruuh and infinite mana burn and clone the spell incase of counter spells with xantcha. Exp (cut//ribbons and fury storm) group hug is fun group hug is. Political but if u wanne win u gota come out of nowhere
Great video, but maybe work on changing up your inflection or cadence? You talk so fast and every sentence sounds the same in terms of delivery, it gets kind of irritating really quickly.
I’m waiting for you to analyze the objectively strongest archetype, Sitting in Chairs tribal
Dont forget bird tribal.
Throne better add some new cards for it. I want a 5c chairs deck
Don’t need to state the obvious
EpicGamerz01 haha coming soon I’m sure
@@TheCommandersQuarters I want a full 50$ deck tech, complete with golden pig and reasonable upgrades. Chairs are love, chairs are life.
With Throne of Eldraine, it might be Gingerbread Man tribal or Goldilocks voltron.
Dont forget about the Red Riding Hood Storm deck. Lol.
Honestly i'm excited for gingerbread man tribal
dreddbolt I’m down for that!
Or the plethora of bears for BEAR FORCE ONE
1k views in 20 minutes!!! Your videos are really taking off! Great job!
Also literally everyone in my playgroup uses a deck by you lol
NightOwl YT well thanks! Haha and that’s awesome!

I don't have a problem with stax decks, I have a problem with Winter Orb in a multiplayer match.
I love politics decks! They give another perspective to the game. Queen Marchesa rules!!
Yes Mitch, we needed even more of a reason for Past in Flames to hike in price, aside from the fact that it isn't being printed in the Jeskai precon.
@Jehovah That's kind of uncalled for, I was just throwing out a joke associated with the channel, not trying to hurt anybody.
Kinda glad to be honest, I just picked up a past in flames for a different deck and I don't want to watch it become a 50¢ card
Kynaios and Tiro is just Group Hug personified.
i enjoy, tribal the most. like goblins or wizards.
teamgdh a great way to go!
Still waiting for Angel tribal to be competitive....
On the topic of Phelddagrif, I built your deck, but I still couldn't help boosting the budget on it to include some fun stuff.

Other ones if you make a list: chaos, mill, combo (non storm), and the standard incremental value over time.
TheOneTrueEfrate absolutely!
Does Wheels count as mill? Like in Nesukar?

Rishkar is criminally underrated
You are an amazing person. I love all the content you create. Keep on going.
I run purphorous but its focused on draw to get out krenko and burn my oponent for 10-20-30 damage while also haveing goblin tribal
Will you be going over Infect or is that too narrow an archetype? Or would it be more -1/-1 counters for that?
I was half expecting Group Slug (or Group Squeeze) after the Group Hug.

Slivers is my vote for the next one =)
He already mentioned them in tribal.
My favorite archetype is probably storm and stax
Bears
I've learned im a stax or combo player
no one ever talks about ghave :(
Build stax
People who don’t want to play against group hug...
So aggro players?
People who dont want a 1-2hr game of commander =P
I personally hate playing against stax. game becomes too slow and boring
Third?
I think 11th
First
I play commander to watch three other people not play commander
Third
second
69th
Great video, but maybe work on changing up your inflection or cadence? You talk so fast and every sentence sounds the same in terms of delivery, it gets kind of irritating really quickly.
