This is easily the best deck tech channel on TH-cam. Interesting concepts, fun decks, slick production, excellent explanation, and affordable products.
Minor correction, the Aftermath split cards like Mouth // Feed are actually read "X TO Y", not "X and Y" like you said in the video. Cut to Ribbons, Commit to Memory, etc. Love the videos, they've made me interested in the format again. The way you break down all the different tactics of the deck really elucidates the deckbuilding process. Congrats on the meteoric growth, it's deserved!
I made a Goreclaw list right when she was announced and the deck can pile drive the whole table in only a few turns after coming out. One game I managed a turn 3 Goreclaw, turn 4 Surrak and Polukranos. It is powerful
These videos are lifesavers! My friends got me into MtG recently and we all play Commander... my friend made me a deck that's great but I was looking for something that fit me a bit more. Just ordered this deck... can't wait to play it with my friends and have a good time!
I don't know how I haven't seen your channel until now but I'm definitely going to try some of these decks out! I'll be watching with great anticipation.
I was waiting for someone to post a budget Goreclaw deck tech, because she's exactly the budget commander that midrange green stompy needed. She turns some slightly underwhelming or overcosted beaters into cheap threats. Nice job! The bounce creatures and Myr Superion are neat tech. I hadn't thought of reusing creatures that way. I think Karametra's Acolyte definitely earns a place in a Goreclaw deck, especially because she has the potential to go infinite with Sabertooth and Guardian if you have at least seven devotion, which if you have Goreclaw + Sabertooth + Acolyte + Guardian in play, you definitely do. Ulvenwald Tracker is a natural fit here too, because the deck currently lacks ways to remove creatures. Somberwald Stag seems wimpy, but if you think about it, it costs three with Goreclaw in play, and can trade with some of the most popular commanders and utility creatures in the format. Foerazer Regent is also a shoo-in, because not only does it fight, but whenever a creature you control fights, it gets bigger at EOT. Finally, Arena is just too good in a stompy deck. Yes, your opponent gets to choose what they lose, but if things are working properly, you have the biggest creatures on the field, and you just traded no cards of yours for one of theirs. There will always be games where someone has a bigger creature, whether it's an Avacyn or an Eldrazi Titan. I really like Lignify for those situations, or Song of the Dryads if budget permits. You have Fierce Empath in here, but no Woodland Bellower! I understand the omission because of budgetary constrictions, but Bellower is just insane. It can fetch Empath, it can fetch a mana dork, or any other useful utility creature, and put them directly into play. Ulvenwald Observer is great tech for this deck. I also would've considered Whisperwood Elemental, which is similar, but gives us attackers for the crackback. On a related note, I think Genesis makes its way into reasonable upgrades as one of the most difficult recursion engines to remove. As far as card advantage, your package is solid. Greater Good definitely deserves a spot in reasonable upgrades, and I'd even make a case that it belongs in the maindeck. Since it was reprinted in Battlebond, it's become way more accessible for budget players. I picked one up to play in my budget Yasova threaten deck, and it's been one of my best value:power purchases in a long time. Soul's Majesty and Rishkar's Expertise are insane in Goreclaw, but Expertise may run you out of budget. Lastly, I can't stop hyping up Uncage the Menagerie. Yes, we lose tempo by tapping out for it most of the time, but think about it: you cast it for X=5, and tutor five five-drops? In a slow format like casual EDH? Shut the front door... Other random cards I think deserve a spot in some version of this deck are: Sylvan Safekeeper Prowling Serpopard Rhonas the Indomitable Selvala, Heart of the Wilds Terastodon
Thank you so much for making this, as soon as Goreclaw came out I tried to make a deck of her, but had trouble focusing it and getting it under a budget. But thanks to you I can stop saving up and get it now, and add my improvements along the way, thank you
What about adding Grothama Alldevouring? With Gorclaw out, it's a 2 mana 10/8 and with it out, you can either smack people for a bunch of damage or have your creatures fight it to draw a bunch of cards. Another card I would think about is abundenance as it let's you choose whether or not you're going to draw that land that you need to ramp. Best part is Grothama is barely over a dollar and Abundance is about 50 cents
What, was "Bear Necessities" too obvious? Jokes aside, a card I really think would do wonders in this deck is Decimator of Provinces. The average price I've seen for it hovers around 30 cents so it's budget-friendly, and its Emerge mechanic makes it cost next to nothing because of all the high CMC creatures in the list as is. It's even a perfect target for Conduit of Ruin, which, if sacced, makes Decimator only cost 3 green! All that for a hasty, trampling 7/7 with an anthem affect. Edit: fixed a few spelling errors and reworded some of it.
Both are actually a little too costly mana wise for my liking. And Grunn is really only good when he can attack alone, and that’s the opposite of what this deck wants to do.
Might want to add Prowling Serpopard, nothing better then making your creatures uncounterable. Champion of Lambholt would be a decent option as putting out that many creatures that quick could potentially make them unblockable to nearly everything. Predator Ooze cause who doesn't like an indestructible thing that can get bigger Bow of Nylea to give Deathtouch to all your attackers and one of the 4 modes in its second ability are always useful. And a slightly more expensive upgrade Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger.
Ooze not getting the cost reduction from goreclaw is a minor thing as you should have plenty of mana to get a GGG cost out on a mono coloured deck. as for the Bow attacking with creatures that have deathtouch means your opponent ether does not block or loses one of his own creatures. And iv used the gain 3 life and +1/+1 counter abilities tons of times, with the ocasional gravyard recursion to the bottom of my library.
I had built an EDH deck around Goreclaw. It was a mean deck. I had put Vivian Reed and the Amonkhet/HoD Precon Nissa in the deck to provide either free creatures with Nissa and Indestructible buff creatures with Vivian. Wild Onslaught kicked for 2 +1/+1 counters on everything. Helm Of The Host to duplicate Goreclaw (which is a lot of fun). Gigantasaurus. Big Worms and Kavu, including Crush Of Worms. Overrun and Overcome. Grunn, The Lonely King and Blackblade Reforged (makes for a big pig-sticking threat when combined). Gaea's Blessing for mill protection. And some fight spells for light removal. It got brutal. Just as brutal as the deck mentioned in this video.
Im honestly in love with this channel... I barely play MtG and have never even properly played EDH at all but i really wanna try it and I have one of the standard decks at home, but this seems more like my style. I love monocolour cause its a little less intensive on the thinking work than other decks, and since Im a very stressy person and play games to relax thats a nice thing for me. honestly though. fantastic content. keep up the good work!
Sick deck. In my version I put in some creature removal in the form of Fighting. (Rabid Bite, Natures way, savage punch and Monstrous Onslaught.) and Lignify and Beast Within because it's more wonderful cheap removal. Love this channel because I have casual playing friends that want to get into EDH but are scared off from the potential price. I've shared so many of these videos with my friends and I can't thank you enough for such a wonderful channel!
Wolfbriar Elemental would be an awesome include. The discount would make it two green and any other green after that gets you a 2/2 Wolf. It also works well with the creatures that make you bounce a creature back to your hand as you can keep getting tokens.
These videos are great! Been watching since video 2 or 3, and I've wanted to build every one! That said, I've got to share my favorite unloved win condition for creature based decks: Glaring Spotlight from Gatecrash. Such a powerful effect for any big green board
I sure am glad I found your channel! Really well thought out quality content with good production value. Yours is also one of the fastest growing channels right now, well deserved! Looking forward to more quality deck brews!.
Absolutely great EDH deck tech. However, one card I want to highlight is a card called Bow of Nylea. Since it gives attacking creatures deathtouch it gives Goreclaw and your other beaters trample deathtouch. That makes it incredibly hard to block and be a pretty good finisher. Love the cheep deck so thank you for showing it off. ^^
Great video!! Just started playing Magic and this video really did a good job of explaining the deck and the thoughts behind it. You just earned yourself another subscriber!
When I was a young boy, during 4th edition when my brother and I would play in the kitchen table, nothing brought me more joy than slamming down a Craw Wurm. Sure, my wurm would die more often than not, but that made my young, innocent Timmy planeswalker heart glad. I also chanced upon a Goreclaw from my packs, and now I feel like bringing out my inner Timmy. :)
Love these videos, coming back after ~20 years because of new friends playing Commander. This made it soo much easier to put a competent deck together. All my cards should be arriving by my weekend game night. I feel 12 again.
Another good tech card to add to this deck would be siege behemoth, basically if you alpha strike with him all the damage is going through unless they can fog or prevent combat damage. Cause blocking will do little to stop you.
I played him. You want bellowing tangleworm. You want to play as many creatures as you can. Bellowing makes your creatures unblockable most of the time and is a direct effect. Siege behemoth takes a turn and kost 5 even with the reduction.
Big cards to add: The newly released Beast Whisperer is Primodrial Sage for only 2gg, Triumph of the Hordes can help punch through arbitrarily large life totals and finally Grothama the all Devouring is simply beast, fight worm for the win
I have Bramble, Ripjaw and Ghalta already. I'm so glad I got into the dinos before Ghalta rose like that. I think it was 2.50 when I bought my copies. I really enjoy the Nezahal decklist you made, and this might be one step closer to the set of monocolor decks I want
I absolutely love gore claw ad a commander! I fell in love with her. I went no budget with Mana Crypt,ancient tomb, azusa, lost but seeking, oracle of mul daya, and eldrazi. Kozilek and ulamog are fantastic and can be cast for 6 mana with conduit of ruin out. Also a ton of draw cards. It's so much fun! I saw some in this list I will be adding to mine, thanks for the video!
In a mono colour budget deck I think you may as well include radiant fountain. It comes in untapped and you gain 2 free life. The colorless mana doesn’t even really hurt you in a deck like this
Awesome I've built me a more claw edh deck but watching this I see alot of adjustments I want to make. Thanks for the great video and keep up the great job. Oh and congrats on the 10k subs 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I bought your Tasigur deck for 26€ shipping included and had a great deal of fun with it, even though my playgroup mostly plays really competitive decks. Would you consider ever doing a deck tech for a commander that is silver-bordered, like Phoebe, Head of S.N.E.A.K., Grusilda, Monster Masher or X?
If memory serves me right I only saw one non-permanent in the deck and so if you wanted to add a minor combo element in the deck (and also double the budget...) you could add Primal Surge and Concordat Crossroads as an explosive “Gotcha!” Not for everyone but always good to know!
been playtesting this deck, and it's really fun and easy to pilot. my gf is moving in with me, and she wants to get into magic, so i'll probably buy this deck for her
Hey, really like the channel and I hope everything just gets better for you! An idea that might be worth at least a thought would be doing some videos on "budget staples". Cards that go into a lot of decks, like Sol Ring, are usually a nice chunk of the $25 restriction, but once you have a copy, basically all of your decks would be better with it so it's really worth the little investment. Another thing you could also do is some kind of series on some core budget cards for some strategy, like Domineering Will, Reins of Power and Illusionist's Gambit as that's a nice little package that usually makes any deck a bit better.
Giant adephage would be a nice addition to this deck later as if it gets through it will be a problem target and hard to be rid of with its natural bulk.
Ahhh that as well. Mill decks are definitely viable but they run into a few issues. Most notably cards that auto shuffle the graveyard like Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, which I know isn't in every meta, but is definitely an issue since you then have to run cards specifically to get around it. Definitely not saying it can't be done! It's just not my playstyle right now, but in the future you never know I may try to tackle it!
Question: can you create a few episodes on deckbuilding in itself? How to pinpoint a focus of commander, how to seek appropriate cards, how to build manabase, etc. Brawl deck may be created to illustrate process step by step(less cards required and lesser cardpool to get lost into. All so, an OK possible entry point for a real edh).
Absolutely! I have been planning to do an episode or even episodes on the deckbuilding process. I need to find some time in between all of the deck techs, but I will make time in the near future!
Nice. What are your thoughts on a brawl format? I think, if it catches up, wizards would design more commanderesque cards in standard sets(hopefully, replacing the mandatory bad ones).
Honestly I think it will fade away in the near-ish future. One of the main things that people like about Commander is that it is a non-rotating format, and since Brawl rotates, that is a huge knock against it.
Could you see Aboroth slotting into this deck somewhere? 9/9 for 4 and two green; cumulative upkeep - put a -1/-1 counter on Aboroth. With the commander in play that’s a 9/9 for 4 cmc. Could be good, just an idea. It’s in the reserved list but it’s about 55-60 cents on TCGPlayer.
Unfortunately with the cumulative upkeep I don't think he's worth it. First attack he will be down to an 8/8, then a 6/6 then a 3/3. I think there are better options out there. Even Terra Stomper would be better, and that didn't even make the cut.
Thx, it help me build my goreclaw edh deck without a budget. I have so many good green cards that the decks becomes way to exspensive mana wise to play normaly. I made a primal surge deck out of it.
I'd add Brutalizer Exarch to this asap. 6 drop 3/3 that etb tutors for a creature or puts a non-creature permanent on the bottom of a player's library. With return to hand effects this card can be broken. And with Soul of the Harvest out you can pick when the etb effects trigger allowing you to put that tutored card right into your hand. Or Brutalizer Exarch at the end of your opponent's turn if you have that all green creatures have flash elf out. 😁
This show is amazing keep up your great work :) . I am fully a fan of your show now :) . Every episode is worth ti watch :) . Thank you for all these videos. Im thinking what about Balthor The Defiled Edh Deck? :)
Coming back to rewatch some of my favorite episodes, it's hard not to notice how stuff the delivery is, but I also kinda miss this pace honestly. Sassy Mitch is best Mitch, but the slower pace feels much more like an instructional deck tech and less like he's speed reading 60 or so related cards
ive got some random cards that could possibly work in this deck, if anybody wold like to help. Skarrg Goliath - big guy and can be a surprise instant for even biggerer stuff eldritch evolution - its just a great card channeler initiate - ramp, then a semi useful 3/4 later, but doesn't hit the 4 attack majestic myriarch - its a fat birb lion that just gets fatter greater good - hella card draw and minions *should* be easily replaced thragtusk - combos the bouncy stuff with the gain five and beasties steal leaf - 3 mana 5/4 cant be chumped, seems gucci hungering hydra -, can play early or late, but doesnt get the goreclaw prece reduc bounty of might - instant speed megabuff, can be split into threes, basicly a skarrg X 2 sorcerous spyglass - , im ppretty sure it stops krenko's clone so thats just to spite my friend oracles vault - freecast all the topdecks 3 turns after u play it, total 10 mana investment tho decimator - of provinces its kinda ridiculous, honestly permeating mass - its the ultimate meme! primal surge - HOLY QUACAMOLE ITS YUUUUUUGE!!!! beast within - any perm removal? aid from the cowl - comboes w/ greater good and the bounce to hand stuff, FREECASTING IS GOOOOOOOD thats all i got, mosta these are eeeehhh cardsi just happen to own but some of these could really be big like decimator, who pumps the team and effectively costs 3 green
Keep up the good work! Been subbed since you were around 400 subs and love every video! Do you play test these decks or are they just “theory”? Also are all of your budget decks close in power rating against each other?
Thanks for being there since the beginning! I playtest them quite a bit actually, but for the one's that I don't actually own those are goldfishing for the most part. Once I can do this full time though, I will be working to make sure I can test each and every deck to the amount that I really want to. I would say most are around the same power level, but Jhoira is definitely above the rest. Muldrotha may be around there as well depending on the meta.
The Commander's Quarters that’s really great to hear! Hopefully you’ll be full-time soon, especially at the rate your growing! Good luck Mitch, and keep up the great work!
Goreclaw says creature spells 4 or greater to cost 2 less to cast. Bramble Sovereign, a 4/4, says whenever a nontoken creature enters the battlefield, you may pay 1 colorless and 1 green to create another copy of the nontoken creature. So basically pay the full mana cost of any insane green creature spell and you get a copy of it!!!

no matter how budget it gets, with this amount of sweet deck list i will go bankrupt anyway
Haha my bad!
Litterally earlier today I was like "Man I kinda wanna build Goreclaw really bad, I hope Commander's Quarters makes a video on him soon"
My prayers have been answered
Glad I could help!
Yeah yeah yeah!! Goreclaw!! Great for budget EDH, you can add some more expensive cards to the deck and not even break $100, fantastic creature.
Absolutely!
You can literally put any big green creature into the deck and it is immediately so much better when it costs 2 less.
This is easily the best deck tech channel on TH-cam. Interesting concepts, fun decks, slick production, excellent explanation, and affordable products.
Well thank you!
Honestly am in love with your channel keep up the great work!
Thank you will do!

Congrats on the meteoric growth, it's deserved!
Thanks for the clarification! And thank you!
I built this deck for a friend for her first commander deck and she loves it. You do a really good job.
That's great! And thanks!
I made a Goreclaw list right when she was announced and the deck can pile drive the whole table in only a few turns after coming out. One game I managed a turn 3 Goreclaw, turn 4 Surrak and Polukranos. It is powerful
This channel is going to be up there with the big boys one day, I can say I was here when it was only at 10k :)
Let's hope! Thank you for your support!
This creature ended up winning me my first magic league. Sounds like a great idea to memorialize that by making a commander deck for him!
That's awesome!
Good catch! Yes Goreclaw is most definitely a lady bear
I hope I see mah boi King Macar in one of these. Always A+ quality and straightforward
You never know! And thanks!
These videos are lifesavers! My friends got me into MtG recently and we all play Commander... my friend made me a deck that's great but I was looking for something that fit me a bit more.
Just ordered this deck... can't wait to play it with my friends and have a good time!
That's awesome! Enjoy!
So nice to see the variety of decks you put out. I was waiting a mono-green stompy and I was afraid I'd have to wait a lot longer.
Glad you enjoy them!
I don't know how I haven't seen your channel until now but I'm definitely going to try some of these decks out! I'll be watching with great anticipation.
That's awesome!
I was waiting for someone to post a budget Goreclaw deck tech, because she's exactly the budget commander that midrange green stompy needed. She turns some slightly underwhelming or overcosted beaters into cheap threats. Nice job!

Sylvan Safekeeper
Prowling Serpopard
Rhonas the Indomitable
Selvala, Heart of the Wilds
Terastodon
All great considerations! I like how much thought you put into the recommendations!
👏 Great recommendations.
Is bellower expensive?
It's interesting to watch these older videos and hear how much more confident you've become in the past few years.
Thank you so much for making this, as soon as Goreclaw came out I tried to make a deck of her, but had trouble focusing it and getting it under a budget. But thanks to you I can stop saving up and get it now, and add my improvements along the way, thank you

Damn because these decks are so cheap they are actually nice gift ideas
Didn't even think about that! That is a good idea!
You absolute legend, thank you

Edit: fixed a few spelling errors and reworded some of it.
Haha I can't believe I missed that one!
And decimator of provinces is a great consideration for the deck!
Worldspine wurm or Grunn, Lonely king would be good too
Both are actually a little too costly mana wise for my liking. And Grunn is really only good when he can attack alone, and that’s the opposite of what this deck wants to do.
Might want to add Prowling Serpopard, nothing better then making your creatures uncounterable.
Champion of Lambholt would be a decent option as putting out that many creatures that quick could potentially make them unblockable to nearly everything.
Predator Ooze cause who doesn't like an indestructible thing that can get bigger
Bow of Nylea to give Deathtouch to all your attackers and one of the 4 modes in its second ability are always useful.
And a slightly more expensive upgrade Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger.
All great considerations!
also spearpreaker behemoth is great, he doesn' t even cost much and can give indestructible to every big creature for only 1 mana
Great consideration as well!
Ooze not getting the cost reduction from goreclaw is a minor thing as you should have plenty of mana to get a GGG cost out on a mono coloured deck.
as for the Bow attacking with creatures that have deathtouch means your opponent ether does not block or loses one of his own creatures. And iv used the gain 3 life and +1/+1 counter abilities tons of times, with the ocasional gravyard recursion to the bottom of my library.
With death touch and trample, you can assign 1 damage to any blockers, and trample over the rest, since the 1 damage is enough to kill the blocker
Love that subtle reference to LotR/The Hobbit. +1
Haha glad you caught it!
I had built an EDH deck around Goreclaw. It was a mean deck. I had put Vivian Reed and the Amonkhet/HoD Precon Nissa in the deck to provide either free creatures with Nissa and Indestructible buff creatures with Vivian.

Fantastic video! Every time I see your videos I just want to make the deck you're talking about, and i love it that they're so cheap!
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying them!
I dont have friends to play EDH with but i still watch your extremely well done video! Keep it up my man!
Thanks! You can always head on down to an LGS or teach some friends or family to play!
Sick deck. In my version I put in some creature removal in the form of Fighting. (Rabid Bite, Natures way, savage punch and Monstrous Onslaught.) and Lignify and Beast Within because it's more wonderful cheap removal.

Absolutely great EDH deck tech. However, one card I want to highlight is a card called Bow of Nylea. Since it gives attacking creatures deathtouch it gives Goreclaw and your other beaters trample deathtouch. That makes it incredibly hard to block and be a pretty good finisher.

Great video!! Just started playing Magic and this video really did a good job of explaining the deck and the thoughts behind it. You just earned yourself another subscriber!
Thank you for your support! Glad I could help!
Ha! I built a very similar goreclaw when she was first spoiled!
Nice!
Glad you included bellowing tanglewurm love that card
An amazing card!

I have Bramble, Ripjaw and Ghalta already. I'm so glad I got into the dinos before Ghalta rose like that. I think it was 2.50 when I bought my copies.
I really enjoy the Nezahal decklist you made, and this might be one step closer to the set of monocolor decks I want
Nice! Yeah Nezahal is one of my favorites!
Goreclaw was my favorite card from M19!! Great video
One of mine as well! Thanks!
> Comes in HUGE
Goreclaw is quite great!
The Timmy in my heart is so glad to see this deck tech.
I absolutely love gore claw ad a commander! I fell in love with her. I went no budget with Mana Crypt,ancient tomb, azusa, lost but seeking, oracle of mul daya, and eldrazi. Kozilek and ulamog are fantastic and can be cast for 6 mana with conduit of ruin out. Also a ton of draw cards. It's so much fun! I saw some in this list I will be adding to mine, thanks for the video!
Oh nice! Yeah sounds like a great deck! No problem!
Wow. 1 month ago, you hit 1k sub and now 11k suk. Congratz buddy. I really like your contents, Cheap price for fun decks. Keep up the good work.
Yeah it's been crazy! Thanks and will do!
In a mono colour budget deck I think you may as well include radiant fountain. It comes in untapped and you gain 2 free life. The colorless mana doesn’t even really hurt you in a deck like this
As always good, fun and budget decks! Thanks for your content!
Thank you for your support!
I would love to see you brew a Traxos list, but Wastes are not exactly cheap for a basic land. Damn. Keep the good work!
You never know! And yeah Wastes are more expensive then they should be.
This deck sounds so cool! Totally building it.
Awesome!
Lifecrafter’s Bestiary would be a fun choice for more card draw and selection. It’s a dollar.
Absolutely!
Fyndhorn Elves is priced around $1.99 but could be the third Llanowar Elves.
Absolutely!
Awesome I've built me a more claw edh deck but watching this I see alot of adjustments I want to make. Thanks for the great video and keep up the great job. Oh and congrats on the 10k subs 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks! Will do!
I bought your Tasigur deck for 26€ shipping included and had a great deal of fun with it, even though my playgroup mostly plays really competitive decks.
Would you consider ever doing a deck tech for a commander that is silver-bordered, like Phoebe, Head of S.N.E.A.K., Grusilda, Monster Masher or X?
Nice! As of now there aren't any in the plans, but in the future you never know!
This is raw bear power! Excellent video!
Indeed it is! Thanks!
If memory serves me right I only saw one non-permanent in the deck and so if you wanted to add a minor combo element in the deck (and also double the budget...) you could add Primal Surge and Concordat Crossroads as an explosive “Gotcha!” Not for everyone but always good to know!
Definitely a good strategy to consider!
Great as always. Just waiting for a Temur deck now
Thanks! Trying to get through all of the color identities!
been playtesting this deck, and it's really fun and easy to pilot. my gf is moving in with me, and she wants to get into magic, so i'll probably buy this deck for her
Oh nice! Yeah it’s a pretty straightforward deck that’s a lot of fun!
Hey, really like the channel and I hope everything just gets better for you! An idea that might be worth at least a thought would be doing some videos on "budget staples". Cards that go into a lot of decks, like Sol Ring, are usually a nice chunk of the $25 restriction, but once you have a copy, basically all of your decks would be better with it so it's really worth the little investment. Another thing you could also do is some kind of series on some core budget cards for some strategy, like Domineering Will, Reins of Power and Illusionist's Gambit as that's a nice little package that usually makes any deck a bit better.
That’s a great idea! Have something like that planned for the near-ish future! Great minds think alike ;)
This channel needs more subscribers
Thank you!
Totally building this deck!
Awesome!
This deck works. I built it in MTGO and 1st game it beat out Grixis, and 2 rainbow decks
Awesome!
Liking these quite a lot. This build is just super comfy.
The best!!! Good work!😉
Thanks!
Loving the content! Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Will do!
Really loving the idea behind this deck. I love Green, and animals, and big stuff to this looks like a great aggro/beatdown deck for me!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@TheCommandersQuarters Looks like a fun starting point to get into Commander!
@@brandoncreek5709 Absolutely! A very straightforward and fun strategy!
I'm just sad that the deck is $40 now 😂
Brandon Creek is it?!? What jumped in price?
Goreclaw with Surrak, flavor win! This is a commander that brings out the inner Timmy.
@@BloodyScythe666 It gained Mama Bear's respect of little hairless cub Surrak.
My Timmy side was so happy when she was spoiled!
I think another great upgrade is Rhonas, the Indomitable. Always able to attack in this deck, and is amazing for one green mana with Goreclaw out.
I love the decks and am making one, if possible would love to see a Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons deck.
Awesome! A great commander in her own right!
I LOVE mono green!
It's a fantastic color
Giant adephage would be a nice addition to this deck later as if it gets through it will be a problem target and hard to be rid of with its natural bulk.
Goreclaw is my favorite commander. I have some of the same cards in my deck. I've beaten some scary blue decks with it.
Looks fun! maybe like expensive adds Pathbreaker Ibex could be fun, something like a "craterhoof behemoth" per turn xD
Definitely good pricier considerations!
Hopefully we will see a mill deck from you. I'd like to see you tackle that one for under $25.
Definitely can be done! Do my Muldrotha and Tasigur decks not count as self mill?
@@TheCommandersQuarters I want to mill my opponents out. Self mill is cool but not my style
Ahhh that as well. Mill decks are definitely viable but they run into a few issues. Most notably cards that auto shuffle the graveyard like Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, which I know isn't in every meta, but is definitely an issue since you then have to run cards specifically to get around it. Definitely not saying it can't be done! It's just not my playstyle right now, but in the future you never know I may try to tackle it!
I can't believe this was once a $25 deck. It's still not expensive but not a super budget deck anymore
Question: can you create a few episodes on deckbuilding in itself? How to pinpoint a focus of commander, how to seek appropriate cards, how to build manabase, etc. Brawl deck may be created to illustrate process step by step(less cards required and lesser cardpool to get lost into. All so, an OK possible entry point for a real edh).
Absolutely! I have been planning to do an episode or even episodes on the deckbuilding process. I need to find some time in between all of the deck techs, but I will make time in the near future!
Nice. What are your thoughts on a brawl format? I think, if it catches up, wizards would design more commanderesque cards in standard sets(hopefully, replacing the mandatory bad ones).
Honestly I think it will fade away in the near-ish future. One of the main things that people like about Commander is that it is a non-rotating format, and since Brawl rotates, that is a huge knock against it.
I'm new here I love that beast. I just played it tonight and it tore up my buddy lol
Nice haha
Krosan Grip and/or Naturalize seems to be a must add, as cards like Torpor Orb seem to kinda cripple this deck... grats on 10k subs!
Aggressive mammoth would be an excellent addition to this deck.
A good reasonable upgrade to consider!
It's like 5 bucks now at my lgs
I was kinda surprised Drumhunter didn't make the list as a low-cost option to get a little draw and (overcosted) ramp.
Could you see Aboroth slotting into this deck somewhere? 9/9 for 4 and two green; cumulative upkeep - put a -1/-1 counter on Aboroth. With the commander in play that’s a 9/9 for 4 cmc. Could be good, just an idea. It’s in the reserved list but it’s about 55-60 cents on TCGPlayer.
Unfortunately with the cumulative upkeep I don't think he's worth it. First attack he will be down to an 8/8, then a 6/6 then a 3/3. I think there are better options out there. Even Terra Stomper would be better, and that didn't even make the cut.
The Commander's Quarters I wasn’t thinking about the upkeep compounding, duh.
Happens!
Tactic # 7 is a reference to lord of the rings.
Great catch! I was wondering if anyone would get that one haha
You did it! Thanks!
No problem!
Have this guy in my trades glad I have a deck for him now
Thx, it help me build my goreclaw edh deck without a budget. I have so many good green cards that the decks becomes way to exspensive mana wise to play normaly.
I made a primal surge deck out of it.
I'd add Brutalizer Exarch to this asap. 6 drop 3/3 that etb tutors for a creature or puts a non-creature permanent on the bottom of a player's library. With return to hand effects this card can be broken. And with Soul of the Harvest out you can pick when the etb effects trigger allowing you to put that tutored card right into your hand. Or Brutalizer Exarch at the end of your opponent's turn if you have that all green creatures have flash elf out. 😁
This show is amazing keep up your great work :) . I am fully a fan of your show now :) . Every episode is worth ti watch :) . Thank you for all these videos. Im thinking what about Balthor The Defiled Edh Deck? :)
Well thank you! In the future you never know!
I'm building it right now in my LCS and thanks for all :)
Oh nice!
add Greenbelt Rampager (synergy with, Rhonas's Monument, Elemental Bond, Triumph of Ferocity, Bristling Hydra, Garruk's Packleader, Primordial Sage, Verdant Sun's Avatar)
A good consideration!
Coming back to rewatch some of my favorite episodes, it's hard not to notice how stuff the delivery is, but I also kinda miss this pace honestly. Sassy Mitch is best Mitch, but the slower pace feels much more like an instructional deck tech and less like he's speed reading 60 or so related cards
Wooooo! He’s back!
Yep!
I love this deck tech. I'm so building this deck.
Another amazing video great work
Thank you!
i was literally just looking at this guy this is awesome
That's great!
I bought the deck already 😐 this is the second deck I buy from the ones you’ve posted keep it up
Awesome! If you don't mind me asking, what was the other deck?
The Commander's Quarters the five color deck it actually just came in gonna sleeve it up and play it next week :)
Oh nice! Enjoy!
ive got some random cards that could possibly work in this deck, if anybody wold like to help.
Skarrg Goliath - big guy and can be a surprise instant for even biggerer stuff
eldritch evolution - its just a great card
channeler initiate - ramp, then a semi useful 3/4 later, but doesn't hit the 4 attack
majestic myriarch - its a fat birb lion that just gets fatter
greater good - hella card draw and minions *should* be easily replaced
thragtusk - combos the bouncy stuff with the gain five and beasties
steal leaf - 3 mana 5/4 cant be chumped, seems gucci
hungering hydra -, can play early or late, but doesnt get the goreclaw prece reduc
bounty of might - instant speed megabuff, can be split into threes, basicly a skarrg X 2
sorcerous spyglass - , im ppretty sure it stops krenko's clone so thats just to spite my friend
oracles vault - freecast all the topdecks 3 turns after u play it, total 10 mana investment tho
decimator - of provinces its kinda ridiculous, honestly
permeating mass - its the ultimate meme!
primal surge - HOLY QUACAMOLE ITS YUUUUUUGE!!!!
beast within - any perm removal?
aid from the cowl - comboes w/ greater good and the bounce to hand stuff, FREECASTING IS GOOOOOOOD
thats all i got, mosta these are eeeehhh cardsi just happen to own but some of these could really be big like decimator, who pumps the team and effectively costs 3 green
Pathbreaker ibex would be awesome in this deck. Basically just a repeatable overwhelming stampede
I think this is one of the few decks where you'd rather run a Primordial Sage vs a Beast Caller.
Definitely a good consideration!
Would be interested to see an updated $50 version of this deck.
I would like to see a list with the General Tazri, something like Ally tribe could be nice :)
Definitely an interesting commander!
Man, I love those videos!
Glad you are enjoying them!
YES!!! finally a Goreclaw deck!
Glad you are excited for it!
Keep up the good work! Been subbed since you were around 400 subs and love every video! Do you play test these decks or are they just “theory”? Also are all of your budget decks close in power rating against each other?
Thanks for being there since the beginning! I playtest them quite a bit actually, but for the one's that I don't actually own those are goldfishing for the most part. Once I can do this full time though, I will be working to make sure I can test each and every deck to the amount that I really want to.
I would say most are around the same power level, but Jhoira is definitely above the rest. Muldrotha may be around there as well depending on the meta.
The Commander's Quarters that’s really great to hear! Hopefully you’ll be full-time soon, especially at the rate your growing! Good luck Mitch, and keep up the great work!
Thank you! And thanks for the support!
Goreclaw says creature spells 4 or greater to cost 2 less to cast. Bramble Sovereign, a 4/4, says whenever a nontoken creature enters the battlefield, you may pay 1 colorless and 1 green to create another copy of the nontoken creature. So basically pay the full mana cost of any insane green creature spell and you get a copy of it!!!
