Today we are reviewing the Commander 2019 preconstructed deck Primal Genesis. With Ghired, Conclave Exile at the helm. The deck cares about tokens so we are going to evaluate how the deck is built and what we can upgrade with a budget of $25.

Budget MTG Decks
All magic fun, all cards under a dollar
We here at Budget MTG Decks love playing constructed Magic: the Gathering! Whether it’s EDH / Commander, pauper or modern, 1v1 or multiplayer, we can’t get enough of it.
Our vision of MTG is a game which encourages strategic thinking, social interaction and above all…fun! To make this accessible to everyone we decided to lower the two largest barriers which people encounter with this game:
1: Cost of building a Magic deck.
2: Complexity of building a Magic deck.
Our mission at Budget MTG Decks is to provide full deck tech videos describing ready to play EDH / Commander, Modern, Pauper and duel decks. With in depth commentary on each card and overall play style. To make sure the decks are truly budget we have limited the price of all our cards to under a dollar (with exception of the commanders). Now everyone can join the Magic: the Gathering fun!

What do you think of this preconstructed deck? Do you think red was the right color for tokens in addition to white and green? Which non-budget cards would you include in the deck if you had more then $25 to upgrade it? Liked the video? Show us some love by sharing it with your friends!
Doubling Season for sure. Red allows more token types and is very good for populate.
doubling season, purphoros god of the forge, parallel lives, annointed procession
I would add titanic ultimatum and samut, voice of dissent and master Warcraft for budget upgrades
I was really surprised that Armada Wurm was not included in this deck. I thought it would be an auto-include. Thanks for putting it in the upgrade section. I have such great memories of that card.
The Aurelia that gives additional combat. Hook her up to helm of host
What I got from Doomed Artisan is that usually when a artist dies, the art he makes gains value
Oh right, the Artisan never benefits from the value of his/her art indeed...
You're right...
I like using Moonsilver Spear with Ghired. Sandwurm Convergence and I replaced Colossal Majesty with Zendikar Resurgence. Also Canopy Cover is a great aura that gives Ghired hexproof and unblockable to all without flying or reach. And Treetop Bracers for even more unblockable. Avacyn Angel of Hope gets a big groan when she hits the battlefield. And Fierce Empath to tutor for Archetype of Endurance. And Shalai Voice of Plenty for more hexproof.
Love your videos. Sad this channel is mo longer active. I like the additions to your deck videos such as in this one where Iroas totally slipped my mind as well as the sword. Some of those card prices have jumped up recently. I always felt you were ahead of the curve on a lot of your deck building and cards that were overlooked. Great video..!!
I'd recommend buying a couple extra Rhino tokens if you don't have any extras the precon comes with only 1
That's pretty bad, you should have at least 2 copies of any token you produce.
Great video as usual, but I'd like to point out something about Minion Reflector in the upgrades section.
Unlike the other cards seen here that generate tokens that die at end of turn, Minion Reflector actually gives its tokens the text "at end of turn, sacrifice this permanent".
Any copy of that token has to be sacrificed. It's not the Minion Reflector that's making you sacrifice the original token; it's the token itself demanding that it be sacrificed, and that text is copied with the token.
It can still be a worthwhile upgrade, I think, but the player has to keep this limitation in mind, maybe save those populate triggers for something else.
Good point, Minion Reflector is better used for making tokens with nice enter the battlefield triggers or dies triggers. That's the only way populate will give you the value you want.
One thing I see with this deck is it doesn't have haste. If there is a way to give all creatures haste I would be a little better, because you spend your whole turn getting big tokens then you hope you untap with it. Also I think Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite would be a great addition to this deck.
Great suggestion!
Fires of Yavimaya
Gives all your creatures haste. Sac to give target creature +2\+2 till eot.
1RG
Under $1 for sure.
@@enriquesoul5370 By the way thanks so much for your comment, I got a copy of Fires of Yavimaya because of it and it just arrived, I can’t wait to use it!
This is a wonderful upgrade to the deck. What makes Primal Genesis great is that there are many ways to upgrade this precon. If you would like some different ideas check out this upgrade for around $100 commanderclinicmtg.com/index.php/2019/08/21/take-ten-primal-genesis/. You can also check out the budget options here. commanderclinicmtg.com/index.php/2019/08/23/take-ten-budget-edition-primal-genesis/
What makes these articles different is that it is ten cards in ten cards out so you are switching only 10% of the precon.
since when does Blade of selves work with a legendary card? I thought they get sacrificed because legendary rule!? sorry im new in commander. I play Helm of the Host i think its the better Card. Sorry if im wrong
You are correct, however it works great for your nonlegendary creatures so you can Populate the tokens created with Myriad.
Taking Krosis Verge out is definitely wrong, it counts as a ramp spell in a land slot. Also fetches duals to mana fix. Coming in tapped is irrelevant with this deck.
Fair enough, which would you suggest?
reconnaissance is the best upgrade I've done for the deck.
@Budget MTG Decks just wanted to say I appreciate and support what you do. Thank you so much.
I don't think I heard helm of the host correct me if I'm wrong but I think that be a worth while upgrade, that not only makes great tokens but can make your ghired in my opinion a better version of krenko
Very nice suggestion! Helm of the Host would work great in this deck ;).
Yup! Toss in Aurelia for the extra combat steps. Now slap on the helm for infinite combat steps.
I'd recommend Whispersilk Cloak for protection, God-Eternal Oketra for more tokens, and Lifecrafter's Bestiary for card advantage/draw.
Sweet recommendations!
Tried oketra and it's way to slow. To many board wipes causes this deck to be flimsy. Need more support for your stuff like giving stuff indestructible or hexproof. Taking oketra out for probably a kiki jiki, I'd get more value off of it than oketra.
Love Whisper Silk Cloak, a great card, a staple in all my commander decks lol.
@@jackhill3273 I use it too both shroud and unlockable are two keyword abilities that go very well together especially on Ghired who has to attack to populate, his attack might be on hold if the opponent has some 1/1 deathtouchers for example
34:52 for title
This deck has some sweet pieces
my main problem with this deck is that its so hard to attack with the commander without losing him to blockers, hes got no evasion and no cards in the deck makes him unblockable/flyting/etc
That's why we dedicated a few upgrade suggestions to make attacking with the commander less risky.
Whispersilk Cloak fixes that.
Been thinking of smashing my Lathis dragon queen deck together with this one and just populate all the dragons. And the green for ramp and card draw would make the deck run so much smoother.
Plus there are plenty of ways to tutor dragons/creatures so you can fetch Lathis. Sarkhan's Triumph comes to mind.
Beast within seems like the answer to get rid of the sculptor
Upgraded at 34:50 mark. This needs chapters
The morph deck really suppress this deck out of the box and with upgrades. I did not have fun last night and lost all the games. Morphs became way to powerful
What made the Morph deck suppress the Populate deck?
@@BudgetMTGDecks morphs are very unpredictable and having a token based strategy I got shut down often by the morph decks and other decks. I need to keep my token makers on the board long enough so I can populate 10-20 tokens. One of the huge downfalls of this deck is no haste enablers so I fixed that by adding fires of yavima and fervor. Without haste I am a sitting duck for a whole round of turns till I can attack. I wanted to keep Emmra in the deck but I've heard people say i should take her out and put in something else. But I like the effect of my creature tokens immune to all damage not just combat.
I killed 2 morph decks lol
You and I had very different experiences lol
I bought my less-than-MTG-savvy GF the Ghired deck for Commander Christmas, while I bought the morphs. That woman trashed us lol
@@TheMystcast Hammer of Purphoros was my added haste enabler. Allows you to get more tokens too.
34:52
parallel lives,anoited persesion,doubling season?
If you have the cash.... Solid upgrades.
Under a dollar? I don't think
While these are some good upgrades, this deck, much like any other creature heavy or token strategies, needs haste enablers badly. Hammer of Purphoros, Samut (Creature variant), Fires of Yavimaya, etc. would be great cards to put in to boost the power of this precon. Other cards not mentioned that would be good upgrades would be Godsire, Helm of the Host, Sandwurm Convergence, Seance, Anointed Procession, Parallel Lives, and many more. Also, Eladamri's Call is a good tutor to pick up as well!
Cool suggestions!
Sandwurm Convergence looks really mana intensive. How often can you really cast it with this deck? It's the only thing stopping me from putting it in there.
@@mr_mayhem2297 Sure, it is mana intensive but so are some creatures that would be great in the deck. Just look at Godsire. Same CMC and could potentially do the same thing, generate tokens and board presence. However, Godsire can be dealt with in an easier fashion compared to Sandwurm Convergence. Convergence has the upside of preventing flyers from attacking you and allows an easier for you build a board after a wrath. We also in G and will probably have a mana doubler, so it shouldn't be difficult to do.
But those are just my two cents. Build as you see fit!
Yes haste would make this deck a bit better I have added Domri to fight some of my opponents creatures so it is a one sided board wipe every time I populate. Although I can not do anything with that because I am just sitting there waiting to untap with them
What about annoited procession and doubling season.
Excellent cards, perfect for this deck.
both cost more than 15$ each. I just looked.
If you have the budget to add those upgrades then have at it
im going to def be making a Ghired deck :)
Awesome! Which card are you most looking forward to playing?
@@BudgetMTGDecks My doublers and helm of the hosts ;) but cant remember the whole stock decklist so im gonna have to check it out again now lol
Lol the upgrades cost more than the pre con deck
