Boulder's Gate has so many really solid good cards that are being overlooked because they are usually in a single color or not as "efficient" as other cards. It's going to be a massive hit in a few years because there are just so many good cards.
Agreed we did some pulls and my friend told me that you can put backgrounds in the 99 i was like “interesting” since i only thought of ideas as a commander so after testing them, i put so many of them in different decks now because they add a cool spin to every deck & i put neera in like 4 different decks because shes just good value for any izzet deck
I built a Wilson, Refined Grizzly with Noble Heritage background. Literally tons of fun and everyone gets so scared when they realize that by turn 4 he’s a 6/6 with a keyword sandwich and everyone is still ramping or has tiny things on board lmao
One thing that tripped me up when brewing a Neera deck is how her ability causes spells to resolve. I had to go back and edit my deck to get the most out of the effect. If you use a spell to trigger Neera's ability, that spell is put on the bottom of your library, and therefore, *the spell doesn't resolve.* You can't, for example, cast [[Counterspell]], have it resolve, then cast the card off the top of your library. The Counterspell is eaten before the effect happens. Just bear that in mind when brewing a deck. Fill your deck up with cards that cost one or two mana. [[Pongify]] is a good one, mainly because of its low mana cost, and not the effect. Creatures that reduce the costs of spells are also really good. 👍
After brewing several decks, I learned the whole ability only resolves once, whether or not you went through with its effect. All this means is you don't decide when to Neera trigger, it happens the first spell of each turn. This bummed me out thinking I could use more scry effects throughout a game, not just on the end step before my turn y'know?
5:40 I did this using a red elemental blast on my opponents turn and got an Alrunds epiphany off the top so I got to mess with the turn order a lot. Getting an extra turn spell at instant speed is kinda crazy
I think a single cheap creature like Goblin Electromancer isn’t a bad idea. It’s an instants and sorceries discounting body for 2 mana, and can easily wheel into a way bigger threat with Neera on the board!
I played her at prerelease and I originally wondered why she wasn’t worded “the first spell you cast” like Rashmi who I played in Commander for awhile. Then I realized this way you can flicker or bounce and replay her to reset her trigger, where she would still see a “first spell.” There are some cool things you can do with that. Displacer Kitten is pretty good and can go through your whole deck if no other creatures. Then storm spell to finish? I’m planning to build her at some point. Was fun and mostly non threatening at prerelease.
I’ve been looking to build this commander for a bit now, had a stack of cards at home but haven’t gotten around to fully putting it together, this is clearly fate and I need to finish it.
Nice budget deck! Neera is so much fun when the cards start flying. I have been sloly upgrading with cards like Sensei's Divining Top and Hullbreaker Horror for some real control
I built a deck around Minsc and Boo from Baldur's gate. I always get targeted with it, especially when I start adding the counters, and the hamsters start flying.
My very first Draft commander. From my very first Draft game. I did okay, but in Commander Draft, it’s pure luck if you can win. Constructed, on the other hand, is potentially devastating.
Finding a new group would be the cheapest exchange. I quit playing with babys who get bent over chaos/control. SO DUMB for someone to rage scoope over a Possibility Storm or Uba Mask.
I have Neera in a Will & Rowan Kenrith deck which is based around copying spells. Does copying a spell come before or after, or is it independent of you casting a spell? I would also love to see your take on a deck with these two PWs as commanders.
both abilities would trigger at the same time. since you control both triggers you get to choose wich one goes first. so you choose to resolve the copy first, do the copy and then do the switching with neera
@@DaCookieSheep oh that's sick, from the ruling that I read, the copies from Will's emblem resolve before the original, so i can really just copy Neera (Irenicus's Vile Duplication) multiple times, and spam low cost instants to get absolute fatties on the board without much risk.
He probably just didn’t put it in b/c budget. I personally run one in mu unbudgeted neera deck and it gets kind of rude. Making someone waste a spell to try to get the one they want off only for you to counterspell it using the copy to actually cohnterspell and tucking the original with neera to get a big creature off of is disgusting.
@@johanandersson8252 Yeah, I get you. That was what I meant with the counter spell bit, I just wasn’t very clear. The basically extra double vision effect is nice for the additional resolving effects while still tucking a spell each turn.
I don't think it's underrated. Its rated where it should be. Due to its high casting cost and not being in green, it suffers from removal and just getting onto the board. I have a Jadzi built deck, I love it, but I understand why it's not as popular as more efficient simic value engines.
@@mibbzx1493 I'm saying when they're just in your hand. Maybe I was just very unlucky but I would always draw them when I didn't have neera out so it just felt really bad lol
@@lilgoldenboi use more treasure tokens cards, if your mana curve is nice then it shouldn’t be a bad thing. Or if they in your hand early, try to use Wheel cards or cards like Scroll rack to fix your hand, use more scry cards/lands. Consider/Anticipation/Behold the Multiverse to help you fix & draw cards. Impulse draw was a great addition in red so it makes it smoother to play cards from exile. Jeska’s will, reckless impulse, march of reckless joy, big score, goldspan dragon style cards to help you get there.
She was always my favorite romantic choice In the game, so I was super happy I pulled her as my prerelease! I wanna make a deck with her I just gotta figure out how
I've been running a higher budget Neera deck with a strong Eldrazi theme, and I've gotta say, hitting an Eldrazi Titan off of a Neera trigger for 1 or 0 mana is pretty fun.
Guys any suggestions for replacements for the three chaos cards ( Scrambleverse, Warp World and Whims of the fate)? I don’t want to have caps for everyone, just caos for me and don’t ruin the fun for others. Thanks :)

Indeed, plus being put into the immediate, and large, shadow of Double Masters 2022. Completely robbed it's momentum.

extra note about the inclusion of everflowing chalice as one of the rocks - in a pinch it's 0 mana to trigger neera!

18:13 That’s a really pointy swamp!
Glad I’m not the only one that hear that lol
2:00 First up!
When i pulled this card it looked like it would be a fun and interesting commander to build around, glad its getting some recognition
18:10 islands and swamps....... nice

Great choice for golden pig, but I really thought it would be soothsaying. Then i saw it was $1.47
Amazing deck guys!! Please make a Zevlor build!!
What are some good replacements for the chaos cards?
I've been waiting to hear about this commander from you. Thanks!
I had to rewind just to make sure you said the deck had islands and swamps lol
Omniscience should be in the deck for sure. Jace the mind sculpture if we're getting crazy.
Audio check: when revealing basic lands at the end, you said “swamp” instead of “mountain”, and I wonder if it was on purpose?
Personally, I blame Eddie
I blame Eddie also
We all blame Eddie don’t we?
At 18:15 he said Island's and swamps , think he meant island's and Mountain's lol
> Neera, Wild Mage
...I slotted her into the 98 of my Alora, Merry Thief//Tavern Brawler, along with Arjun (the Shifting Flame).
Neera seems fun but I wish she didn't cost 6 to get onto the board lol.
Honestly, as someone who plays brudiclad, it's not that bad.
@@Ephra_wangai big facts especially in blue/red. Treasure tokens, card draw & scrying you get there on curve easily
I'm so in love with this lol mitch keeps trying to spend all my money lol
Everything else is islands and... swamps?!
I love Neera. It sits in my Superfriends to attempt to get nonsense off. xD
Mitch I am having trouble building this deck. I can't seem to find any of the red swamps for this deck.
What about with River Song - I just realized how broken it is with her...holy crap
I know it's not 'Mitch' budget but it still cheap, I feel tidal Barracuda would work great in this, and a very underrated card in general
Swamps he says....hmmm (just teasing)
My very first Draft commander. From my very first Draft game. I did okay, but in Commander Draft, it’s pure luck if you can win. Constructed, on the other hand, is potentially devastating.
I love this channel so much dude
why is arcane bombardment NOT in this deck?
Cause there is no synergy...
@@gerogero2011 casting instant and sorceries puts instants and sorceries in the graveyard. Synergy. 🤡🤡
sunbirds invocation would be great in this deck
what would be some good cheap exchanges for those chaos cards? just in case the group doesn't want us to use chaos effects?

@@originalusername4142 The reason for Jinny P Tyrant is mostly for his copy instant or sorcery ability.
@@originalusername4142 I can type down my list of creatures that i use.
@@johanandersson8252 Yeah, I get you. That was what I meant with the counter spell bit, I just wasn’t very clear. The basically extra double vision effect is nice for the additional resolving effects while still tucking a spell each turn.
I just specifically find it really funny to do it with a counterspell on other peoples turns as they try to untap and stop the eldrazi rampage.
Islands and swamp? Come on Eddie🤣🤣🤣
Please do one deck with Márton Stromgald.

Bro just use planar incision & ghostly flicker. You’re not touching my baby neera 😤 you still get the value
thats a really weird looking swamp
Would you be able to do a non budget build for this commander
we like budget around here, just add yall little mana crypts and black lotuses.
He does a break the bank build which kicks it up a notch.
@@cliffordsherman7702 thats completely fine 👍🏾 me personally I’m not spending alot on a deck
Liam I swear to god I'm about to thank you
I click the link to the deck list and the market price is 90. Am I missing something?
It counts basic lands in the price. He doesn't because he assumes you have them already
Also through TCG player you can optimize it as well. I just discovered that feature.
@@animesfreakify basic lands don’t add 50 dollars to the price
@@JR20472 optimizing it takes it from 90 to under 40?
Optimizing the cart I was able to get to 60. I know Mitch isn’t a liar that’s why I’m asking if I missed something. How does he get these low prices?
putting all those high cmc cards in the deck is nice until you draw them
Jhiora can help get them out
@@mibbzx1493 I'm saying when they're just in your hand. Maybe I was just very unlucky but I would always draw them when I didn't have neera out so it just felt really bad lol

Does anyone have any suggestions for substitutions for the 3 chaos red board wipes?
What card can replace scrambleverse?
Why do your decks never have a sol ring lol?
Good question! Currently it is out of deck budget restrictions since it is above $1 at around $1.30
@@TheCommandersQuarters good looking out for the budget players, not everyone has 30k to spend on one deck ✊🏾

Thanks :)
I'd play her with Etali, Narset and Eisha
How ironic. I just finished my neera deck last night. The major difference between this one and mine is that mine has no creatures in the 99.
6 mana aaaaaa
YESSSS!
"The rest of the lands are Islands and Swamps"..... my brother in christ....
Stop making decks I wanna play :)
Played this deck now 10 times, can say it is hot garbage. Unless your playing with low power stuff this takes wayyyyyyyy to long to get online and do anything with.
I agree, i put some sauce into it to, and its way to slow.
Third lol
