"Its one of those commanders that I think people aren't exactly sure where to go with him" *flashback to my "oo I want to make a chromium deck!" Followed by overwhelming possibilities and anxiety over how to build it* So excited for this video!! . . . . So a lot of the bombshell creatures that this deck would use are out of my budget, but some very cool and interesting cards I havent heard of that I'll have to check out! Wont be how I build my chromium deck, but lots of fun cards I can use in other decks. Thanks for another wonderful video! Looking forward to that 10 ideas challenge edition! Lastly I think Psychatog would be excellent in this deck! Someone mentioned spells like entomb blocking the creature in grave, from volrath's shapeshifter. Psychatog not only fixes that problem but also is a discard outlet if you havent gotten chromium out yet, or if it got removed and you cant pay its tax.
THANK YOU for featuring Hakkon! Kamiz loves to get Hakkon Stormgald Scourge into the graveyard and to cast it in order to play knight creatures or spells like Nameless Inversion and Crib Swap over and over after conniving them away!
Dude! Thanks so much for this! Esper is usually really dull in my opinion, and I definitely didn't see this coming. The commander has stapled-on toolbox enabling and protection, both of which is right up my alley. I'm definitely in the mood for some graveyard shenanigans of my own with this iteration of Chromium. I think I might just switch out Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign.
FYI your getting a new top teir patron in the near future, I got a deck I wanna build but it is way beyond my capabilities. Look forward to seeing how u brew it!
I recently purchased the Draconic Rage Precon deck to use Klauth, as my Commander. Would love to see what kind of deck you could put together for Klauth!
I already really love graveyard manipulation (Golgari for LIFE) so Im intrigued by the components this deck is running on. Im also a bit more of a budget player so a lot of the big beaters this deck has I wouldn't *personally* run, but at the core of putting big things into graveyard and having little things on curve become those big things is great. Fantastic even! Definitely an idea I want explore further.
It always makes my head spin when a commander deck doesn't really-kinda-sorta use the commander's ability as intended. Great job Demo; my head's still spinning.
Man, now to use this to try and make my Kumano "secret commander" deck. I love Kumano so much, but want to make him work... mono red wasn't doing it for me, and building a "secret commander" deck is complicated. Thanks for the further inspiration!
An alternative package you could fit into the deck is Lazav, the Multifarious alongside Medomai. Lazav fits nicely with the graveyard exploits and - unlike Dimir Doppelganger - doesn't exile your creatures, while Medomai offers an infinite combo with Lazav.
If your dirty, you could instant speed discard Phage the Untouchable during unblocked combat. Maybe use a Tetsuko Umezawa while power/toughness is low. No etb's trigger when it's already on the field.
Question For both entomb and pull from eternity, the spell will end up on top of your graveyard cause it resolves and is discard after the card is put into the graveyard right? So the shapeshifter would not get to see the creature?
I have a Karona, False God EDH. filled with the weirdest, wackadoodle cards. 😂 its really fun and totally bonkers. My actual serious deck, is Treva the Renewer 💚🩶💙
Can you do a deck tech on Omnath, Locus of Creation deck? BUT I want you to use Song of Creation, and I want the lands to be the damage win con, like turn lands into creatures.
So cool. I have a Chromium Foretell deck that I love, but this is so unique. Have you played it? Is it viable enough to win? I see lots of interaction but idk about closing out games.
Since Volroth shapeshifter doesn’t have changeling, he does not count as all creature types even though he is a shapeshifter correct? If that’s the case, are you looking to recur volroth shapeshifter if it is killed; as I imagine it will be a high value target for opponents. Initially I thought since volroth was a shapeshifter you could cast him from the graveyard with haakon but that does not seem to be the case.
This has got to be one of the most unique decks ever made

I live for these videos. This is what commander is all about.

Very nice. I would immediately look at any madness cards too, maybe for a back up plan or, perhaps there's just some good madness cards
Such as?

see you there buddy
Holy duck, this is insanely creative and unique!
I try really hard not to double up on color combos in my decks unless they're 5 color, but I'm gonna have to make room next to Ertai for this beauty
Nice, this is sorta like my Ravos and Sakashima I've been working on! Thanks Demo!
What a great idea to combine these creatures in such an interesting Deck. Really enjoyed the video
I genuinely lol’d at the nameless inversion Hakkon line. Incredible stuff
I built my Sidisi deck around your Haakon idea! It's a little janky but I love it!

The new Ludevic from innistrad is a perfect fit 👌🏻

You’ve inspired me to do this same idea but with the new Sefris
wow you made a very playable deck with Chromium 2.0 easily graveyard manipulation is cool idea
omg I have become a fan of this channel since I really like underwhelming and janky commanders, see you at patron I guess lol
Question

uh, yes you are correct.
Sorry to kill the combo, I really liked the idea though…
Psychatog will solve that issue, is only $0.60, and also is a discard outlet.
Perfect, now I’m gonna take all these cards, and put them in my new Sefris deck 😂
I have a Karona, False God EDH. filled with the weirdest, wackadoodle cards. 😂 its really fun and totally bonkers.
My actual serious deck, is Treva the Renewer 💚🩶💙
Can you do a deck tech on Omnath, Locus of Creation deck? BUT I want you to use Song of Creation, and I want the lands to be the damage win con, like turn lands into creatures.
This deck is sick
Did this one make it into your personal collection Demo? I hope so! Such a cool deck.
This is great!
How do you cast Haakon from command zone to begin with if you cant cast it from anywhere else but the graveyard?
you can't. that's why he's in the 99. the commander is chromium here.
Lord of Tresserhorn would have made a great commander as well I think. But I really see why you went with white.
Any ideas for an Akiri+Armix artifact deck with a discard subtheme?
The new capenna legendaries could probably be good commander replacements for this deck
would varina be a good alternate commander?
So cool. I have a Chromium Foretell deck that I love, but this is so unique. Have you played it? Is it viable enough to win? I see lots of interaction but idk about closing out games.

Holy cow this is cool.
Holy crap you've got a new sub. Question tho - would you add Maskwood Nexus
you definitely could. to be honest i haven't really committed that card to memory yet so i forget about it alot when building decks.
This is sweet!
I have a Zur deck that uses Rebel cards, but I mean Esper Zur Knights!!!! Lets make it happen xD
Funny how yesterday one beat us with an approach the second sun and demonic tutor combo, Chromium never hit the board lmao
I love this channel but this intro music is repulsive
I really like it, the rune is something I look forward to with them.
