Thank you! I'm very happy with your appreciation. I got great patrons, a healthy & helpful comments section, new interesting friends, I can't ask for any more.
I really wish Tetsuko was B/U or had partner, she would benefit a lot from Dimir cards from Return to Ravnica such as rogues and more Cipher cards, also ninjas from Kamigawa (Best set).
Partner is such a cool mechanic I wish many of the uncommon legendaries had partner. Also, I wish I had access to the back cipher cards ... or a way to abuse trait doctoring :)
Fox i mean we could use the demir commander sygg river cutthroat so we can do this you will have to draw the fugative but thats not a problem since you draw so many cards woth this in addition since sygg has a power if one he can be unblockable amd if you do 3. Or more damage to someone while sygg is in play you get to draw try and experiment with this because i think it can work
I included the Dominaria uncommon legendaries in my Commander-Cube and set the rule so they all have partner. And its amazing the combinations are all great some of course more than others but hey its cube. Once i had a Tetsuko Thyma Deck, turn one Mother of runes, turn two Tesuko, turn three Thymna and draw 2.
I love your decks man. They always have such a basis in fun. This build gives me so much nostalgia. When I was new to the game playing kitchen top casual I ran a UR spellslinger deck with Cephalid Constable and Surrakar Spellblade with things like Reckless Charge and distortion strike. I would love to get back to the spirit of that in EDH. I had glossed over this commander in first looking at it but, like so many, you've made me excited and considering building this.
Testuko has been the most current legend I've been brewing around from Dominaria. This deck tech just helped me put the finishing touches on the deck. I'm looking forward to the next commander night at my LGS.
Wow there are more directions to go with this commander than I thought! I never thought of adding infect creatures! I love the Rogue tribal idea! So many fun cards that you never see played! I love it! I think you've convinced me to build around this commander!
Every time I watch one of your videos I’m always blown away by the possibilities, and all the random cards I have never heard of that suddenly are powerhouses in a specific context! This is definately one of my favourite youtube channels, and you always do an incredible job! Have a great day!😉
I have a Thassa Sea monster tribal deck, that makes them all unblockable with Thassa's ability, I also made Jumbo's Temmet Deck and tweaked it a little. I really love unblockable decks they're just so much fun, Now I really want to make this deck, the synergies that you've exploited look very very fun, Jumbo you never cease to amaze me, Keep on keeping on!
You've inspired me to build this deck. I had a modern UG infect deck so I just took some of the blue cards, some of the best equipments and all of the proliferate cards I could find. I'm using some cards like Astral cornucopia, ever flowing chalice, decimator web, unwinding clock, and lighthouse chronologist to take advantage of the proliferate ability. My deck also has a heavy thopter subtheme with a janky mechanized production wincon just in case lol. Thanks for the inspiration Jumbo!
Aww yeah, I've been looking to build a mono-blue deck that goes aggro for a while, and this video has inspired me. I even pulled a copy of Tetsuko from a booster. Thanks for the inspiration!
Really enjoy your videos, dude. Every time that I go out looking for a Magic video, the one that I end up sticking with is always one of yours. Another great one here. Keep up the great work! Liked and subscribed.
One subspecies of blue creatures that I'd recommend would be creatures with "Water Breathing" (one blue/colorless: Creature gets -1/+1 or +1/-1 until end of turn.). Creatures like Water Servent, Aetherling, and Shorecrasher Elemental can be pumped up to 1 toughness or slimed down to 1 power. Either way, they'll be unblockable. Personally, i'd prefer to swing with a 7/1 over a 1/7 any day.
This is by far one of the most interesting decks build with a commander from Dominaria (although Jodah is a close second). I might consider to make also an Tiny Leader version ... if there are enough 3 CMC's to build around. Keep the creativity flowing man; you are an awesome innovative deckbuilder !
Made this into an energy/infect deck with thrummingbird, small infect creatures, and stuff like that. Combine it with artifact synergies to duplicate your small number of eligible creatures and that thing would go off. Added in lots of combat card draw. If you weren’t winning on infect, or energy pay offs with electrostatic pummeler or Aetherworks Marvel, you could draw your entire deck and lab maniac out of the game. This commander allows so many strategies with these interesting cards. Tetsuko and Feldon of the Third Path are my favorite commanders for that exact reason. I’m always buying new cards for these to swap out and adapt to different metas.
Fun fact is that the merfolk rogue sygg river cutthroat has a magic power number it use's for card draw that number is 3 also with all this card draw you could utilize chasm skalker whic if it dies you can get an army of 1/1 squids theres a lot and i love this deck not only for the effect but the idea of useing 1 power or 1 toughness creatures to overwhelm the opponent
21:12 The effect of Scalpelexis trigger *even* if it exile 2 basic land, so, YES, Scalpelexis IS mean, also coupling it with spells that pull copy on the board... (Because that's what I do with it.)
I built her too. I also went the Bloodforged Battle-axe route, but I included Mechanized Production as a win condition. If I just so happen to have 8 battle axes I just win the game. She is a nifty little commander.
Some people with VERY tuned lists say that 2 cmc is too slow for an Edric attacker and that flying is enough evasion. I don't play against Edrics that are THAT TUNED often. As an Edric player, what do you think about this?
Jumbo Commander my deck runs it just fine tbh. Flying isn't really enough evasion sometimes in my playgroups. Its nice to reliably get through to draw those cards
Jumbo Commander 2 mana still comes in before Edric. I also use Edric as a value engine by using ETB creatures and then hitting players with them. Something that lets, say an Elvish Visionary hit each turn is incredible. Flying is not always enough if you play againt Dragons or Unesh or Angels...
I use her im my satoru umezawa commander deck. I got a lot of 1 defense ninjas with "dealt damage to player" abilities. Shes definetely a great early card to play before i go and ninjitsu in silver fur with thousand faces shadow or copy him wirh myojin of cryptic dreams.
Very Cool ideas on this deck. The moment they spoiled Tetsuko I was like new creature for the Edric deck. I traded my Blighted Agent out LOL for Tetsuko; Infect brought to much heat on Edric and Tetsuko is a rogue so she can count for Notorious Throng, just like Edric and also another legendary for Karn Temporal Sundering. The synergies in Edric are just nuts but Dayumm Jumbo digging the card choices here'ah for Tetsuko:p
I love this, it seems like the kind of thing I love to try and make work; but as a primarily red player, all I can think of is how much fun it'd be to burn this entire strategy with a Pyroclasm.
Love this deck. Just getting back into mtg from a 20 year hiatus and this may be a bit complexed of a deck for a noob meaning me lol. I may try it just concentrate on plan and not worrying about branching off into mill etc.
Good lord this deck looks so much more fun than I ever imagined! I always thought Testsuko looked funky as hell, but outside of Infect I didn't imagine a functioning strategy for her. But this looks so neat! Unblockability and drawing cards are like my two favorite things to do...it's gonna be hard to justify making another monoblue deck after recently building Unesh...
I will help you justify it ... just make sure the deck has less than 5 cards that overlap. Sol Ring ... Cyclonic Rift ... I don't know some pet cards you love. That way it's still a monoblue deck that has zero connection to your other monoblue deck! I think you can totally do it! PS: One downside is that they are both slightly tribal with strong draw mechanics so that might make them feel slightly similar but personally I think they are different enough!
Originally when Tetsuko was revealed I thought she'd work as a comparable build to an agro kind of Azami, but your build seems more fun to both play and play against than just going full draw+control.
Your friendly local artificier here! Since you are running a bunch of equipments, I recommend the one power Etherium Sculptor and the protection and freequipper Hammer of Nazahn!
Cipher is crazy, last night buddy played that cipher card that duplicates a creature, than placed the cipher part on a unblockable creature and than got another one when he attacked. LOL I have had that card all this time and I never knew you could choose any creature each time you cipher because I figured it would only cipher the creature it was on;)
With all that card draw, maybe Chasm Sulker? All those little 1/1 squids if they pop it. Or after a nasty boardwipe, drag your handy rogue back and turn the little monsters sideways in retribution. Failing all that, he is a handy little chump that almost always brings out one or two for its value. Almost always have one in my blue commanders. That and Reef Worm.
I also like Orochi Hatchery, all the tokens will be unblockable and trigger effects like coastal piracy! It's a late game card for sure, but even if you get only 3 counters on it the value can build up.
Good call. I made a mental note to put this in the artifact strategy section but it never happened. Damn mental notes are so much less reliable than paper notes.
Jumbo Commander I think there are several interesting cards for "going wide". Stuff like Contested War Zone and Crown Of Doom for the fun, of course lots of janky token generators. Definitely an interesting general with a bit of an unconventional gameplan for blue!
Are you allowed to use cards like Orochi Hatchery and Scytheclaw if the tokens are out of commaner color? The hatchery makes green snakes and Scytheclaw makes a black germ
LOL. You should see it in my Edric deck. Just this week, I smacked people with a bunch of evasive weenies, prowled Notorious Throng for 11 fairies, during the extra turn dropped EWit and got Notorious Throng back (getting another 20+ fairies), then during my second extra turn dropped Beastmaster's Ascension and swung for the kill. I love Notorious Throng.
Ughh!! I love this! I saw another deck tech on a flavorful umezawa/bolas tribal deck. I don't remember where I saw it and if anyone knows what I'm talking about please let me know!
My main problem is most of these creatures have flying already. If your playgroup has few flyers nothing changed at all. Your creatures would have gone through already. My other issue is stocking up on a bunch of one toughness cards is just asking to get wiped by the weakest of red and black removal. Your opponent doesn't even need turn 3 to deal 1 across the board and some decks like dinos can do it repeatedly.
Actually thing that happened recently, someone played Elesh Norn while I played my Tetsuko deck, so not long after I played Rapid hybridization: Destroy it and give you a 3/3 Frog Lizard for 1U.
Hey Dj trepanation blade wouldn't exactly be great for the deck only because it procs on the creature attacking so it happens before no blockers can be declared. So theoretically the creature would get the power boost but it wouldn't get the ability from the commander
What about Navigator's ruin, ok it does'nt really combo with tetsuko Umezawa's ability but since you'll be attacking at every occasion if you want a mill deck it could work.
I think they missed a trick in not making Tetsuko black and blue, maybe switching her with Rona in the set in term of colours. Blue alone with a focus on small numbers is just a bit meh. If you want that kind of thing, obviously you have Edric but even Phyrexian Ezuri does the job well. Plus, Blue/Black are kinda missing low-to-the-ground aggro commanders. Rona was just a bit disappointing for me, maybe I'm still a bit salty for how meh her ability is in comparison to the Vorthos and art.
I've enjoyed Sygg River Cutthroat as a dimir aggro commander in the past. I am sad there isn't more design space with Tetsuko only in monoblue but I have enjoyed the brewing process.
Testuko makes portals that are too small for big equipment, even a Short Sword can't fit (unless the creature holding it is as tiny as a germ). But her family heirloom weapon can fit through easy!
Tetsuko is a great card, but I never thought of using them in this way. I just wish Tetsuko was a B/BL indeed of just mono blue. But Tetsuko is great when it comes to rats.
Hey man idk if you take requests but I would love to see your take on shattergang bros it's a deck I have that feels like it should rock in commander but I can't seem to make it right
Edric is better ... but people know Edric and they should kill your commander over and over instantly and as a group. This might fly under the radar and get you some more interesting wins. Tetsuko is my choice.
Eldrazi monument? Have enough token generators to feed eldrazi monument. Making your army flying and indestructible now your commander has an additional layer coating of protection. May loose unblockable but when you have 5-20 2/2 flying indestructible creatures.... Monument is a back up if something happens to commander
Its infectious when you do that sarcastic laugh. I included this card to The Locust God deck. Is this an Aggro blue? Unblockable, Skulk, Prowl, Infect, Mil, Draw.
I have really wanted to build this deck, but stuff like Golgari Charm (or deal 1 damage to each creature) is quite common in my metagame, which almost becomes a one-sided boardwipe. With 1/1 tokens that's not that big of a deal, because you can usually make more easily, but when your mainline threats are vulnerable to that, I think I would have problems. Do you have any suggestions on how to shore up against such attacks?
My question is how to curve board wipes or spells that makes you loose abilities? Opponents always like to capture your Engine or Commander. I tried having a least 10 counterspells in a deck and most times I draw 0.
This deck NEEDS a Thada Adel, Acquisitor. She's a rogue, she has islandwalk, and she can singlehandedly ramp you and dismantle other people's combo pieces.
Did you cover the monkey man already jumbo?, but the deck needs one of the best cards in Aquamorph Entity, or what about creatures that adjust like in aetherling, or morphling?
Can try gatherer just by listing the creatures by power, or by toughness and it starts with lowest to the top :). I was thinking the lings could be good closers or even defenders it needed be by lowering power to add to toughness. Beguiler of Wills, Chasm skulker, bronze bombshell, or even Empress Galina are amazing considerations imo. Coralhelm Guide is a good back up plan for your creatures in a sense...but out of them all...and it speaks for itself **Fatespinner***
Can we please call this commander deck Rogue One because it plays a bunch of 1 power or toughness creatures and rogues?!
That is simultaneously the best and worst pun I know of.
Great comment. Here's your 69th like.
Damn, Jumbo is just pumping out list after list. Great work, man.
This is what happens when you sit in futile plodding meetings and daydream about Dominaria.
Most underrated creator in the community. Been here for so long and everytime you post im so excited to watch!! Keep up the great work.
Thank you! I'm very happy with your appreciation. I got great patrons, a healthy & helpful comments section, new interesting friends, I can't ask for any more.
I love this deck tech! I can imagine that people would underestimate this commander!
I underestimated her. A few people commented and tweeted me about some synergies before I got hooked.
I really wish Tetsuko was B/U or had partner, she would benefit a lot from Dimir cards from Return to Ravnica such as rogues and more Cipher cards, also ninjas from Kamigawa (Best set).
Partner is such a cool mechanic I wish many of the uncommon legendaries had partner. Also, I wish I had access to the back cipher cards ... or a way to abuse trait doctoring :)
Man, that would be awesome... There are so many useful rogues in the black pie...
Silas + Sidar? Maybe add in some big but matters with Ikra and Doran?
Fox i mean we could use the demir commander sygg river cutthroat so we can do this you will have to draw the fugative but thats not a problem since you draw so many cards woth this in addition since sygg has a power if one he can be unblockable amd if you do 3. Or more damage to someone while sygg is in play you get to draw try and experiment with this because i think it can work

And its amazing the combinations are all great some of course more than others but hey its cube.

This is my favorite of your deck techs so far.

So glad you brought up Cipher! A slept on mechanic that I'm fond of and couldn't help thinking about with this Commander.
Wow there are more directions to go with this commander than I thought! I never thought of adding infect creatures! I love the Rogue tribal idea! So many fun cards that you never see played! I love it! I think you've convinced me to build around this commander!
This deck is a blast to play. Thanks Jumbo.
Bounce tech sounds GREAT.
I will give this a try for my first blue deck
This excites me so much! Tetsuko was the first legendary I pulled in Dominaria and I've always wanted to make a deck for her! :D
Every time I watch one of your videos I’m always blown away by the possibilities, and all the random cards I have never heard of that suddenly are powerhouses in a specific context! This is definately one of my favourite youtube channels, and you always do an incredible job!
Have a great day!😉
I will have a great day. Your comment directly contributed to my great day. Thank you.

Been brewing this since she was spoiled. She's so sweet. 💪
I totally underestimated her when she was spoiled. You saw the truth from the beginning.
Same here! Im almost done, just need a Hammer of Nazahn and Brass Squire. The equip costs slow down the deck a bit so im trying to get around them.
One subspecies of blue creatures that I'd recommend would be creatures with "Water Breathing" (one blue/colorless: Creature gets -1/+1 or +1/-1 until end of turn.). Creatures like Water Servent, Aetherling, and Shorecrasher Elemental can be pumped up to 1 toughness or slimed down to 1 power. Either way, they'll be unblockable. Personally, i'd prefer to swing with a 7/1 over a 1/7 any day.
water breathing is not a good name for this ability as red creatures have it as well
This is by far one of the most interesting decks build with a commander from Dominaria (although Jodah is a close second). I might consider to make also an Tiny Leader version ... if there are enough 3 CMC's to build around. Keep the creativity flowing man; you are an awesome innovative deckbuilder !
wow i love this concept might be the first time i get into mono blue!
great video was really excited when tetsuko came out, but i had trouble imagining a play style i would like, but this video was very helpful thanks

Elbrus the binding blade could be fun
Fun fact is that the merfolk rogue sygg river cutthroat has a magic power number it use's for card draw that number is 3 also with all this card draw you could utilize chasm skalker whic if it dies you can get an army of 1/1 squids theres a lot and i love this deck not only for the effect but the idea of useing 1 power or 1 toughness creatures to overwhelm the opponent
This deck sounds absolutely fantastic :D
21:12 The effect of Scalpelexis trigger *even* if it exile 2 basic land, so, YES, Scalpelexis IS mean, also coupling it with spells that pull copy on the board... (Because that's what I do with it.)
Can't wait to make a list for this commander
Yes!!! I love this deck tech.
I would say Blade of selves is also a nice inclusion in the deck.
I built her too. I also went the Bloodforged Battle-axe route, but I included Mechanized Production as a win condition. If I just so happen to have 8 battle axes I just win the game. She is a nifty little commander.
My Edric has this in the 99 for reasons that I don't think I have to explain
Omer Frank me too.
Frankly sometimes you get 3 unblockable creatures.and it gets absurd
Some people with VERY tuned lists say that 2 cmc is too slow for an Edric attacker and that flying is enough evasion. I don't play against Edrics that are THAT TUNED often. As an Edric player, what do you think about this?

I use her im my satoru umezawa commander deck. I got a lot of 1 defense ninjas with "dealt damage to player" abilities. Shes definetely a great early card to play before i go and ninjitsu in silver fur with thousand faces shadow or copy him wirh myojin of cryptic dreams.
Pemmin's Aura, Teferi's Veil and Diplomatic Immunity would be neat protection inclusions. Great vid!
Is it bad that i could only hear "Sharting Sphinx"?
SerpentSkys "whenever an artifact creature wet farts on a player"
There was a reason why I said that it poops out thopters ;)
Never going to play with thopters again.
They are best thrown at your opponent's face ... like in Breya.
Same
Very Cool ideas on this deck. The moment they spoiled Tetsuko I was like new creature for the Edric deck. I traded my Blighted Agent out LOL for Tetsuko; Infect brought to much heat on Edric and Tetsuko is a rogue so she can count for Notorious Throng, just like Edric and also another legendary for Karn Temporal Sundering. The synergies in Edric are just nuts but Dayumm Jumbo digging the card choices here'ah for Tetsuko:p
this is amazing! i have to build Tetsuko now.
I love this, it seems like the kind of thing I love to try and make work; but as a primarily red player, all I can think of is how much fun it'd be to burn this entire strategy with a Pyroclasm.
I made this deck as soon as dom wad released love it
Love this deck. Just getting back into mtg from a 20 year hiatus and this may be a bit complexed of a deck for a noob meaning me lol. I may try it just concentrate on plan and not worrying about branching off into mill etc.
Good lord this deck looks so much more fun than I ever imagined! I always thought Testsuko looked funky as hell, but outside of Infect I didn't imagine a functioning strategy for her.

Your friendly local artificier here! Since you are running a bunch of equipments, I recommend the one power Etherium Sculptor and the protection and freequipper Hammer of Nazahn!
Great Suggestions! Thanks
“Sharting Sphinx poops out little thopters” 😂
This deck is all the fun stuff. I will admit if Tiny Leaders was a thing still this girl would wreck everything.
+Jumbo Commander So I'm curious as to what you'd recommend for a Adeliz, the Cinder Wind deck. It'd be Wizard Tribal, possibly a large degree of burn.
By far my favorite commander in the set so far. (Got to build some others.) those cipher cards from ravnica are so good
Cipher is crazy, last night buddy played that cipher card that duplicates a creature, than placed the cipher part on a unblockable creature and than got another one when he attacked. LOL I have had that card all this time and I never knew you could choose any creature each time you cipher because I figured it would only cipher the creature it was on;)

Failing all that, he is a handy little chump that almost always brings out one or two for its value. Almost always have one in my blue commanders. That and Reef Worm.
I also like Orochi Hatchery, all the tokens will be unblockable and trigger effects like coastal piracy!
It's a late game card for sure, but even if you get only 3 counters on it the value can build up.
Good call. I made a mental note to put this in the artifact strategy section but it never happened. Damn mental notes are so much less reliable than paper notes.
Jumbo Commander I think there are several interesting cards for "going wide". Stuff like Contested War Zone and Crown Of Doom for the fun, of course lots of janky token generators. Definitely an interesting general with a bit of an unconventional gameplan for blue!
Thrumming Bird and that pirate can proliferate
Are you allowed to use cards like Orochi Hatchery and Scytheclaw if the tokens are out of commaner color? The hatchery makes green snakes and Scytheclaw makes a black germ
scalpelexis counts with land names too, them a mono color can have some problem
These rogue shennanigans, i like them
Notorious Throng..?!?! What an interesting card! Wow I'd like to dig through a box of Lorwyn block cards!
Crazy right!?!?!?! This feels like it ends games! I love it but have never seen it cast in commander. This is the deck for it!
LOL. You should see it in my Edric deck. Just this week, I smacked people with a bunch of evasive weenies, prowled Notorious Throng for 11 fairies, during the extra turn dropped EWit and got Notorious Throng back (getting another 20+ fairies), then during my second extra turn dropped Beastmaster's Ascension and swung for the kill. I love Notorious Throng.
Cipher is my fav ability!! I want them to bring it back so bad! This deck looks so fun, you have to make it and tell us how it played Jumbo :)
You have no idea how much I wish I could play Wild Pair in this deck...
Awww, now I want to play wild pair ....
Ughh!! I love this! I saw another deck tech on a flavorful umezawa/bolas tribal deck. I don't remember where I saw it and if anyone knows what I'm talking about please let me know!
Need an updated version with Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow.
This was a nice video and makes me giddy to try it
Giddy is an excellent adjective to describe how I feel about most of these generals.
I love all the weenie decks coming out after Dominaria. My mono white elesh norn with helm of the host is having tons of fun.
Hahaha, turns out Elesh Norn was not oppressive enough on her own you had to clone her.
"What are you playing?"
"Mono elesh norn?"
"Hahaha ok"
*10 minutes later*
"Right... Ok, I get it... and everything I control has -10/-10?"
"Yep."
Great deck as always what would you add if you don’t want to play infetct and does the power level suffer greatly from it ?
My main problem is most of these creatures have flying already. If your playgroup has few flyers nothing changed at all. Your creatures would have gone through already. My other issue is stocking up on a bunch of one toughness cards is just asking to get wiped by the weakest of red and black removal. Your opponent doesn't even need turn 3 to deal 1 across the board and some decks like dinos can do it repeatedly.
In monoblue, if you are not carrying at least one counterspell, you aren't doing it right
Who says in the very beginning -"Resolve"? lol
wow 1 power 1 toughness tribal. Opponent: "I play Elesh Norn" Umezawa player: "I scoop"
That is what counters are for. I would imagine if you're playing against white you know you better be ready.
Actually thing that happened recently, someone played Elesh Norn while I played my Tetsuko deck, so not long after I played Rapid hybridization: Destroy it and give you a 3/3 Frog Lizard for 1U.
Hey Dj trepanation blade wouldn't exactly be great for the deck only because it procs on the creature attacking so it happens before no blockers can be declared. So theoretically the creature would get the power boost but it wouldn't get the ability from the commander
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes ..i so hoped for this! thanks
What about Navigator's ruin, ok it does'nt really combo with tetsuko Umezawa's ability but since you'll be attacking at every occasion if you want a mill deck it could work.
I have a rogue/unblockable deck with Sygg, River Cutthroat that uses a lot of the same cards/mechanics
I would really like you to attempt a Reaper King deck tech, especially now Arcane adaption is out.
When will we be building around HotH? I've been having a lot of fun with the helmet.
I have a mardu equipment deck that I'm excited about that uses a lot of dominaria cards. I think HotH will be a perfect fit!
looks really interesting. fun deck xD
I think they missed a trick in not making Tetsuko black and blue, maybe switching her with Rona in the set in term of colours. Blue alone with a focus on small numbers is just a bit meh. If you want that kind of thing, obviously you have Edric but even Phyrexian Ezuri does the job well. Plus, Blue/Black are kinda missing low-to-the-ground aggro commanders. Rona was just a bit disappointing for me, maybe I'm still a bit salty for how meh her ability is in comparison to the Vorthos and art.
Yewd Notisum still though, Rona is a sweet card. Imo anyway, there's still some brewing space there with her.
I've enjoyed Sygg River Cutthroat as a dimir aggro commander in the past. I am sad there isn't more design space with Tetsuko only in monoblue but I have enjoyed the brewing process.
Fun fact Scalpelexis works very well if your opponent is useing the shadow born apostle as well as root water thief so yeah theres that
Testuko makes portals that are too small for big equipment, even a Short Sword can't fit (unless the creature holding it is as tiny as a germ). But her family heirloom weapon can fit through easy!
Tetsuko is a great card, but I never thought of using them in this way. I just wish Tetsuko was a B/BL indeed of just mono blue. But Tetsuko is great when it comes to rats.
I need a Samurai Commander deck tech in my life
“Sharding Sphinx poops out dudes” oh really? Sharting Sphinx? 😏 aight lol
@Jumbo Commander, May I make a request on a deck tech I would love to see and think is very Interesting?
Hey man idk if you take requests but I would love to see your take on shattergang bros it's a deck I have that feels like it should rock in commander but I can't seem to make it right
May I suggest adding Warkite Marauder from Rivals of Ixalan into the deck?
Can anyone tell me the expansion symbol for the Rhystic Study card shown in the show? That didn't look like the Prophecy symbol...
Cards with the Cipher mechanic are also good in this deck
Question now is Tetsuko or Edric?
I definitely under estimated Tetsuko before watching this.
Edric is better ... but people know Edric and they should kill your commander over and over instantly and as a group. This might fly under the radar and get you some more interesting wins. Tetsuko is my choice.
Kill Edric? but he loves everybody, he happily lets people draw cards...;)
Outstanding video as usual but can you make a animar soul of elements dech tech I'm surprised you haven't yet
I might take a look at it one day. He is VERY popular and powerful. I just haven't gotten to him yet.
Eldrazi monument? Have enough token generators to feed eldrazi monument.
Making your army flying and indestructible now your commander has an additional layer coating of protection.
May loose unblockable but when you have 5-20 2/2 flying indestructible creatures....
Monument is a back up if something happens to commander
Hi may I know the name of the wallpaper that you used?
I want to build this deck now, blue is my least played colour but this might change that :D
Its infectious when you do that sarcastic laugh. I included this card to The Locust God deck. Is this an Aggro blue? Unblockable, Skulk, Prowl, Infect, Mil, Draw.
What about Elbrus,the Binding Blade? Stick that on a 1 toughness to cheat in Withengar Unbound.
I have really wanted to build this deck, but stuff like Golgari Charm (or deal 1 damage to each creature) is quite common in my metagame, which almost becomes a one-sided boardwipe. With 1/1 tokens that's not that big of a deal, because you can usually make more easily, but when your mainline threats are vulnerable to that, I think I would have problems. Do you have any suggestions on how to shore up against such attacks?
My question is how to curve board wipes or spells that makes you loose abilities? Opponents always like to capture your Engine or Commander. I tried having a least 10 counterspells in a deck and most times I draw 0.
Just a random question but how do you make these videos? Like the programs used and such
Mechanized production would be really good with that axe equipment lol
Hey Jumbo Commander can you please make a Deck Tech of Hallam the Firefletcher
can you do a Wrexial, the risen deep deck tech
Question about Stolen Identity:
If you copy the ciphered creature, does the copy have the cipher on it as well?
No. ... aww now I'm sad that it doesn't.
Jumbo Commander was thinking that might be a tad broken, but it would be so cool if that worked
Awsome deck!!!
This deck NEEDS a Thada Adel, Acquisitor. She's a rogue, she has islandwalk, and she can singlehandedly ramp you and dismantle other people's combo pieces.
Oons queen of the fae! She works well in the 99
Did you cover the monkey man already jumbo?, but the deck needs one of the best cards in Aquamorph Entity, or what about creatures that adjust like in aetherling, or morphling?
Good call! This didn't show up in my searches because I always set the criteria to be power
Can try gatherer just by listing the creatures by power, or by toughness and it starts with lowest to the top :). I was thinking the lings could be good closers or even defenders it needed be by lowering power to add to toughness. Beguiler of Wills, Chasm skulker, bronze bombshell, or even Empress Galina are amazing considerations imo. Coralhelm Guide is a good back up plan for your creatures in a sense...but out of them all...and it speaks for itself **Fatespinner***
SO... is Tetsuko Umezawa sibling to Toshiro Umezawa from Kamigawa?
ye
Is there a place we can see this deck in action?
