I like listening to y’all cause it sounds like each of you play against non-content creators with regularity. As a result I find your takes more interesting and most importantly, actionable. Shifts in thinking are way more interesting than “run these $50 cards in every deck they can go in.”
Commenting for the algorithm. I think this is turning into my favorite magic podcast, it's so chill. Thanks for making these, hope you guys are enjoying making them.

@@thetrinketmageto clarify, he’s sort of the Diogenes to y’all’s Plato. He does do deck checks, he does talk about the state of commander, but most of all, he’s an EDH comedian. If you need somebody to explain why a commander will get you booed away from a table, he’s your guy. Sometimes there’s harder analysis, but most deckbuilding wisdom he hands out recently is him evaluating user-submitted decks
This has absolutely become my favorite Magic related podcast. Each of you think about the game in a similar but distinct way, which makes the conversations y’all have much more interesting than those of other Magic podcasts I’ve listened to. Each of you make me think deeper about how I construct my decks. I’ll note that the podcast was already great with Elk and Trinket Mage, but adding Snail brings it to an elevated level imo. Keep up the great work! 🎉
Idea for a future topic: what makes a deck fun? Both to play and to play against? I think the nebulous nature of the question could lead to interesting discussion. There's room for both subjectivity and objectivity, and im curious to hear what yall would say!
When I think of roasts I think of loud but bad takes, this was the opposite. Instead of a roast its just 3 of my favourite incredibly skilled and creative deckbuilders, sharing ideas and preferences with one another in an encouraging and civil way, which imo is even better.
A Tawnos Bauble Emporium infinite combo: Card requirements: Liquidmetal Torque Goblin Welder Salvaging Station 2 artifact creatures, one in graveyard, one on the battlefield Welding Jar Clock of Omens Some kind of payoff (optional) Step 1: Make goblin Welder an artifact with Liquidmetal Torque Step 2: sac Welding Jar Step 3: Sac the artifact creature for an artifact creature with goblin welder, Untap the salvaging station Step 4: Use salvaging station to return the Welding Jar Step 5: Use clock of omens on the Welding Jar+ artifact creature to untap the goblin welder Step 6: Repeat 2-5 It is a 5 card combo (plus some other requirements), there might be better lines, this is the first one I found that went truly infinite. Make it infinite damage by adding the reckless fire weaver or something
3 of my favorite creators all in one place! You all are amazing creators, and you seem like fun players as well. You perfectly capture the ideas in my head and give them form. Also, you have inspired many a deck that im currently trying to build. Not sure if that one is good since I already have 31 decks, but oh well.
Mr Foxglove draw card replacement effects is awesome! There are so many new options like Abundance too with Sage of the Animas, Pursuit of Knowledge, Tomorrow Azami’s Familiar and Parallel Thoughts. I’m really happy to be seeing it used even if it wasn’t too well liked. Really great vid, nice to a good dissection of so many decks and commanders I’ve never seen elsewhere. Didn’t know Pharika was a constellation machine till today!
if you're going to comment on decks, it'd be handy if the whole decklist was on the screen, along with some highlighting as you're talking about certain sections
If your 2 favorite strategies are Artifacts and Lands I’d like to suggest my favorite commander deck. Toggo, Goblin Weapon Smith & Keskit, the Flesh Sculpter. This deck wants to trigger Toggo’s ability as often as possible with fetch effects. And then you sacrifice the rocks to any number of artifact sac outlets. Rakdos color is the cherry on top for an aggressive damage slinging, wheel spinning play pattern that makes use of the often forgotten landfall & artifact cards in these colors.
Great video, really liked hearing what you guys play and the insight into your styles and choices! 😁 For audio only listeners it would be great if you described the effects of some of the key cards, only just getting back into magic so I really don’t know many of the cards from name alone 😅
Sorry it’s something we need to be better at as podcasters. Sometimes I notice people talking and I don’t want to interrupt their flow by having them stop to read a card but for audio listening it’s definitely worse
@@thetrinketmage you guys are still doing a great job! Glad to hear you’re already thinking about it and I totally get not wanting to interrupt other people when you’re in the midst of it. I’m sure it’ll come more naturally as you keep making videos 😁 Also thanks for taking the time to reply!
Lmao I almost didn't notice snail moving around. I currently have two decks that seem to satisfy all of my needs, but I want to build more but I just keep piling up a bunch of scrapped ideas. Not sure exactly what to do.
I do appreciate how this episode highlights the differences on deckbuilding between the three of you. I resonate most with Snail's focus on crafting experiences with his decks, but I can sympathize with Trinket's and Elk's focuses
Question Zone: What are your thoughts on sub-themes in decks? Are all decks made more interesting with a sub-theme? Should you have multiple sub-themes? I personally love having a creature type as a sub-theme, and using cards which usually you wouldn’t see as they don’t really support a main-theme like Dwarven Recruiter.
Enjoying the podcast y'all! I'd kind of like it if something highlighted who's speaking. Like a highlighted outline or everyone is faded except who's talking. Idk, might be a nice touch (though, granted, more work for you Trinket).
Yea I need to find a good way to do that. Something I want to add but if I make it too fancy it’s way too much extra work… I might have something next time
One, great podcast; i very much enjoyed the way you three interact and look forward to more. Two, with snail moving closer every video... i hope he's sitting on your head in the next lol
I'm surprised Fighting didn't come up as a way to kill Kiara. Not too familair with the commander but I figured that be a solid method while also removing an opponent's creature
Another banger video from my favorite mtg throuple. Question Zone: The decks that were rated the highest seemed to be those that had multiple play patterns to win while maintaining tight synergy. Are there any techniques you use when deck building to include those alternate plays. I feel like my decks are too easy to shut down if my main wincon is blocked
Ohhh Zurzoth, I couldn't make this deck run smooth. You need three devils swinging each turn (preferably not including Zurzoth) to get full value out of him, and it was surprisingly hard to get/keep this engine running. Very easy to disrupt, and the payoff really never feels worth it. Every once in a while the devils snowball and its fun, but more often than not it whiffs.
My biggest pride and joy of a deck right now is a creature-focused cycling deck with Karador. The massive boon this deck got in the LotR set having landcycling cards with a cost of 1 to activate was insane and the play patterns are very intricate. I wonder how Alex's Sharuum list would compare to play with its secondary toolbox artifact synergies.
1:09:02 In my version of the Malfegor deck, I cut Sire of Insanity for similar reasons to why I _didn't_ want to include Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal. Part of the game plan of the deck is get to hellbent and then recover, not to stay hellbent. These cards both want you to stay hellbent or close to it, which is not quite the same thing. In practice, it's the difference between metaphorically refilling the gas tank versus continuing to try to run on empty. Refilling the tank quickly gives you more resilience if your opponent(s) point removal at the draw engine(s) that are fueling you.
Question Zone Question: Do you guys actually enjoy editing other peoples decks ? I know you get asked constantly to improve someone elses deck or for deckbuilding advice. Hearing you guys talk about your own decks makes it very clear that you care alot about personal expression through deckbuilding and that just made me wonder how it could be a slog at times to go through rather uniform lists of top 100 edhrec commanders. thanks for the podcast it brings me great joy PS: adopt the snail as a permanent member, thanks.
Love you guys! Best podcast. For the Question Zone, I actually want to ask you: What would it be the best way to build a Lyzolda deck, without it being obvious or onesided? I’m still doubting but I wanted a unique rakdos commander! Anyways, thanks so much! Hugs from Argentina! 😊❤
commenting for the algorithm, i feel like ive found a comfortable corner of mtg youtube to enable my hipster-esque stupid ahh brewing style. keep it up!
Grismold is easily one of my favorite commanders ever! Super strong, even on a relative budget. I’ve got it running differently from an average Grismold deck and I think it’s way better. I’d love to show you the list sometime, Elk, see if it would better fit your idea of an interactive deck.
Question Zone: since you are all edh hipsters to an extent. (Lol) What popular commanders make you groan because they are overplayed? Also what are your more interesting alternatives...
Question Zone: How do you go about finishing your deckbuilding process? I've always been a brewer at heart ever since my Modern days, but I find it particularly hard to cut cards in commander while keeping my idea for the deck in tact. I have just under a dozen decks on hold at the moment because I'm struggling to slim the decks down so any amount of advice would go big.
What are your guy's thoughts on the card Natural Balance in a casual setting? I fell in love with it when I was building my Zask deck for just some insect tribal fun. I have always liked the lesser played cards and fell for this card instantly, but I have had a lot of mixed reactions to it. I have cast it on turn 4 before to ramp everyone and still have had people upset that its even in a casual deck because the possibility of the late game ramp down is there.
I like flavour over efficiency kind of, like if there is a creature that fits my theme or tribe that does something like draw, removal, boardwipe, ramp, etc. even if it's less efficient mana wise I'd rather use it than just a generically good spell that can go in "every deck".
Question Zone : What cards have come out recently that you think are going to be eternal? For example : Three Steps Ahead from OTJ, it can be a Cancel or a Catalog. Or Whithering Torment from DSK. I'm putting these cards in all of my decks that have these colors available so what are some new ones you think are gonna be staples?
I would pick probably Tymna/Jeska, Sharuum and Pharika. I somewhat like artifacts, but did not come up with a deck yet (apart from Necrons, which is pretty eh artifact creature reanimator). And the other two - I love creature decks with some synergies, but did not come up with something more than tribal synergy+ (yeah yeah, 7 Humans decks, 3 currently assembled and other four in the works + 2 Elves, more or less generic Klauth Dragons and so on). Like decks are good, they have some explosive or just interesting synergistic plays in or out of tribe, but I need some good creture deck. Maybe for starters Bant Galadhriel blink deck would suffice. More leaning into creature control/midrange, rather than value for the sake of the value with Panharmonicon-likes slapped on top, to double the value (although Panharmonicon specifically might be good, since etb "destroy a thing" would be very impactful, paired with blinking and doubling). Curious what you think about it. Maybe some suggestions for Galadhriel, Light of Valinor Blink deck.
Why does the conversation switch so abruptly from the first Red commander to the Golgari commander? I was listening without watching and got very confused.
questionzone: as someone who LOVES toolbox decks (i have a similar artifactless Zur esper slide list i brewed days worth of time in), what are some of the more niche commanders to build around for a artifact, creature or enchantment based toolbox deck?
QUESTION ZONE can you do an episode on playtest card - commanders? i wanted to make a narod the beige flower deck and id like to see you go through and pick your favorite legendaries (i want to see you build sliv mizzet)
3/3 Elk "GSZ for zero for a dryad arbor doesn't have the impact in commander that it has in other formats." Also 3/3 Elk "I'm on the Arbor Elf train. I find Arbor Elf to be very strong." Something is lost in the sauce. If one is true, so is the other. You can say you don't run dryad arbor because of the price tag, but beyond that there is no argument.
Eldrazi in generell and titans in particular have the problem of being in this akward powerlevel where you cant play them in cedh but they are too strong for most casual tables.

Is it still considered "Group Slug" if Snail plays it?
You three are just casually revolutionizing EDH, really helpful videos across the board.

A Tawnos Bauble Emporium infinite combo:
Card requirements:
Liquidmetal Torque
Goblin Welder
Salvaging Station
2 artifact creatures, one in graveyard, one on the battlefield
Welding Jar
Clock of Omens
Some kind of payoff (optional)
Step 1: Make goblin Welder an artifact with Liquidmetal Torque
Step 2: sac Welding Jar
Step 3: Sac the artifact creature for an artifact creature with goblin welder, Untap the salvaging station
Step 4: Use salvaging station to return the Welding Jar
Step 5: Use clock of omens on the Welding Jar+ artifact creature to untap the goblin welder
Step 6: Repeat 2-5
It is a 5 card combo (plus some other requirements), there might be better lines, this is the first one I found that went truly infinite. Make it infinite damage by adding the reckless fire weaver or something

About Master of Warcraft - I think Trinket Mages meant - I can't control "who" the creatures attack. Sure it was just a slip of the tongue.

Hey trinket, if you do end up overhauling Mina and Denn, you should retool it as a Seasons Past deck, for that "inevitableness" feeling

Question Zone : What cards have come out recently that you think are going to be eternal? For example : Three Steps Ahead from OTJ, it can be a Cancel or a Catalog. Or Whithering Torment from DSK.
