Nice explanation. Seen a lot of people complain about "Stax" decks in cedh. The only Stax deck I was aware about was a vintage deck played around in the the early 2000's that ran Smoke Stack and power 9 that destroyed your resources. Nasty deck, but beatable even without power 9 of your own.
Underrated video for sure! I just built a GAAIV deck. I typically play my Dimir mill Szadek so I had to switch it up My play group still isnt amused....
I’m currently in the making of a Go-Shintai of Life’s Origin commander Stax deck. Since the main theme of all the Shrine cards is just passively (upkeep, precombat, and end step triggers) to deal damage I figured trying to slow the games down to build up to this would be a optimal way of going about it. Im genuinely curious to know is this a good way of building Go-Shintai or is/would it be clunky.
I've built my Gwafa Hazid, Profiteer as a stax build. A key card is Venser, the Sojourner because I can use him to temporarily exile oppressive cards like Damping Matrix and Presence of the Master
I strongly dislike the grand arbiter deck because that deck slow the game down. Also they take a long time to win as well. "Fun" right? Great work Beezy. Tribe scout out. I hope you win on your game show Beezy.
My current Brudiclad build is stax. It uses Omniscience to ignore winter orb and wins with sismic assault. Also by using charmbreaker devils with mana short and war's toll to lock opponents out of the game. God-Pharao's Statue is a nice add-on. It is budget. Edit: I forgot about Tidespout Tyrant. It keeps me from Killin myself and makes the game very fun.
What are the things you like making tokens of in that deck? Copying God-Pharaoh's Statue is actually the coolest thing ever by the way. If only that card had better artwork!
@@NitpickingNerds My favorite thing is Blinkmoth Urn and my second favorite is Powersrone Shard. When I had my token build I used the Decoration Module and the other two Modules to make as many 1/1s as I had Mana and then turned them into Powersrone Shards. Also Precursor Golem was epic and Caltrops seemes good. If using Liquemental Coating and Saheli with Spark Double the sky is the limit. I almost forgot Tidespout Tyrant. Fun times with no lands.
I play stax with nath of the gilt leaf, and it's pretty dangerous... imagine the black leyline with him out, and my deck can get nath out turn 2 if all goes well
They totally are though. Just easier to get rid of usually. Thats like saying a bird isnt ramp compared to a fellwar stone. Both put you ahead in mana but just differently.
City of solitude is a terrible card. not being able to interact will give someone else the card. This should only be played if you are about to win. And in that case, grand abolisher, silence and ranger-captain of eos are all so much better for this.
Your description says "welcome to our five minute guide to voltron!" You may want to edit that.
Great concise video. Your animations make everything flashy enough to be interesting without being annoying. Thanks for the guide :D
Thank you so much 😊 Are you a stax player?

Infernal Darkness is another Contamination effect that locks it up for 1-3 turns.
I would love to see a video on group hug commanders like Kami of the Crescent Moon. It can use stax effects quite well, too.
Underrated video for sure! I just built a GAAIV deck. I typically play my Dimir mill Szadek so I had to switch it up

Great video, stax is an under appreciated edh build that deserve more attention
Glad you enjoyed it!

That is a nice spicy include.
Hey, for an underrated commander in staxs I really recommend hokori dust drinker
The description says voltron when the video is about stax
Can you make an updated version of this for CEDH?

Not even grand arbiter gets an honorable mention ?

Group Hug next?
The only true counter to Stax.

Great video , goes a bit to fast for me ... further all great !
Yeah the goal is to fit as much information in 5 minutes as we can. Sometimes Beezy can be a fast talker.

Us stax players are degenerates who don’t like others to have fun.
Hate bears are not stax. They don’t stop you from playing they just stop busted shit. Hate bears are easy to remove because they’re creatures.
They totally are though. Just easier to get rid of usually. Thats like saying a bird isnt ramp compared to a fellwar stone. Both put you ahead in mana but just differently.

Confused by what you mean by abuse the old wording of cards.
We are just referring to the weird ability that a lot of artifacts had where they don't have their effect if the artifact is tapped
Nitpicking Nerds but how is that relevant now.
It’s always been relevant and abusable, for example if you tap your own winter orb on someone’s end step you get to untap all your lands
Nitpicking Nerds that’s fair forgot that winter orb specifically says that.
Yeah there’s a couple of other ones too
Taxing is not staxing. Hate bears are not staxing.
I made a Zur stax.
How did it go? :)
@@NitpickingNerds I get a lot of hate from my play group. So I'm usually the first one out. Lol.
@@abrahamhang7880 stax is an archetype that gets hated on hard.
Guide to stax: Don't
CEDH is different. Plus it's really just a form of control.
