- These commanders get a lot of hate, but what makes them tick? What do their decks do that people don't enjoy?

This video is worth it for the moment that Beezy realizes Urza is a narcissistic jerk who's responsible for like 80% of the most horrible things in MTG lore
Like that one time in the caves of Koilos when Tocasia died beacause of an explosion from Optimus Prime ?
urza did nothing wrong.
@@el_maoourza did many, many things wrong
Mishra wasn't a bad guy he found new friends and Urza got jealous :P LOL
@@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299 don't get me wrong, Mishra sucks too. 3rd path is the way.
I don't think Sen Triplets is a kill-on-sight commander, at least from my experience. Sen Triplets is a kill-its-owner-on-sight commander. The one time I borrowed a Sen Triplets deck just to try it out, I was archenemy from turn ONE! Never played with or against it ever again.
Is it really that bad? I'm currently trying to make a "steal your opponents' stuff" deck with sen triplets as the commander, but i don't want my playgroup to cast me out xD
at first sight it doesn't seem that horrible: i'm still spending my own mana on my own turn, and i might not even have the proper lands. it's like a mix of discard and shitty impulse draw, isn't it?
Tergrid was actually one of the first commanders I ever built oddly enough (mostly because I just had a bunch of bulk discard and sacrifice cards so I could make it for cheap) but some of my favourites in that deck are oppression and painful quandary just as passive advantage, as well as bottomless pit, make an example, torment of hail fire, archfiend of depravity, desolation, braids arisen nightmare, living death, tainted æther, pox, and chains of Mephistopheles. (Geier reach sanitarium and pelakka predation/caverns are great utility lands/MDFC’s :))
You're a monster for even playing chains. 😂
@@stigmurder99 Oh yes I know 😎my playgroup is chill with it though
@@jamesmackes4531 Yeah so when I first made the deck it was all bulk but then I started proxying cards to upgrade it. Definitely cannot afford a real chains of mephistopholes
Even if tergrid is not out it is important to still make them discard. Pro move
Tergrid was banned in my shop as commander.
Orvar, Omnath(creation), Tergrid is bad but in my pod she's okay. Meren is painful two cards sporefrog, butcher of malakir. Ive heard Jodah is pretty awful too
Not sure if Shuffle Scuffle is still a thing, but I’d like to see a “Hateful Commanders Only” edition
Omg that sounds like a really interesting idea!
The most absurd 1st turn I ever saw was from a Tergrid player. They went 1st. Swamp, dark ritual, jeweled lotus. Cast Tergrid, use the last black to thoughtseize the person to my left, pull a jin-gitaxias, Core Augur. Yeah, that's pretty much game. Nobody had a 1 mana response first time around the table.
I was once playing against tergrid, and I was mana screwed, then smokestack came into play... second time around and I was making a deal to be killed
Me casually having two of these decks on my radar of potential builds
Me casually having 4 of these decks in paper
I only want the first deck haha
I playmy sliver deck once a week and the pure hate u get when u drop the first sliver or any of them really surprises me with all the removal available 😂
I play Kroxa, and the amount of decks people will actively hand wins to, just so I don't win always surprised me.
I thought people disliked combo decks, and they can't combo with no cards in hand.
As someone with a "freshly" made (2 months ago) Atraxa Infect deck, I completely understand haha
I still use overlord with my slivers and it's not hated anymore cus its been powercrept pretty hard
Actually use blinkmoth infusion over Draco in Yuriko since it can be grabbed by Arcane Tutor and stacked with Mystic Sanctuary, and refer to it as Brickmoth because yeah, its used just as a brick.
Almost 2024 and still no time stamps
Then make your own channel.
Thanks for all the deck ideas
Lmaooo best comment
Yeah but then you end up being the guy that people avoid playing with...🤣
@@stigmurder99Only if you're looking to play with slow battlecruiser kids.
Real commander decks have plenty of answers for this and don't really care about these decks.
I play some of these and against these every week and nobody complains and it isnt cedh.
Thank God nitpicking nerds don't dictate the ban list.
@@myaramiuexactly. Adapt to the table instead of complaining
Mia is right. Best drink, best Skittle, best Starburst...it's always the red one.
Fruit punch or strawberry or cherry it's only wins
I love green jello
Yellow is best Gatorade 👌
How can I report this comment as false Information?
@obadijahparks Literally impossible because there are no lies here! 😉
Pretty subjective, even going by Salt ranking. 😊”Name a big creature!” I was praying she’d say, Grave Titan! 😂
A list composed of two people's opinions is subjective? Crazy
There were multiple ways you could have reacted. You chose passive-aggressive. Nice.
I own a tergrid deck that i play quite often, don't actually play the majority of the cards mentioned. I prefer an enchantment stax-y approach to give the table choices, like painful quandry and oppression.
I do only play it into the high power pods to be fair.
Same, honestly. I do the same in my Tergrid deck, cause Painful Quandary is awesome.
The Eminence mechanic should have been one of the top 7. Maybe just staple it along with Commander Ninjitsu.
Is it true the creator of EDH passed away recently?
Yeah. Sheldon Menery; passed away after a long fight with cancer.
He wasnt really the creator of EDH, but one of the people that made it big among judges and was in the rules comité for a long while.
Hot take but blue artificial flavor is really just more red. Somebody chose to make raspberry flavor blue I stead of red bc they didn't want to compete with cherry, watermelon, and strawberry as "red flavors"
Thank you Mia for mentioning that Telepathy says opponents play with their hands revealed.
Beezy has said multiple times in the past how the card is a slog because everyone has perfect information, which made me avoid the card. That is, until I read it again more carefully, and saw that only I get perfect information, and everyone else is guessing my hand.
It's cool until one person has removal or a board wipe, so all of your opponents are afraid to play the game.
@@kaboomeowor they focus you so hard (because you deserve it) that, once you are dead or the enchantment is removed, things come back to normal
Telepathy is terrible
OMG
i would LOVEEEE too see 4 of those decks FIGHT EACH OTHER !!!!
and see who wins. haha.
MAKE THAT !
So, T1 Jeweled Lotus, Mana Crypt -> Tergrid. Swamp, Dark Ritual, Lotus Petal, Sol Ring -> Awaken the Erstwhile. 7 cards and everyone quits. Sweet.
Sen triplets is banned in my house. I’m not going to not play when I’m playing
Are you telling me that my friends don't like playing against my ninjas when I swing in with 6 unblockable creatures that are all ninjas and reveal 6 split cards with cmc 5-10 and they all die that turn?
Excuse me does anyone know if there's a card that gives regenerate to all creatures? Thank you for your response.
Urza can rank in most hated and most loved commanders imo.
Tergrid was the first card I thought of when I saw the title.
There’s only so much fun to be had and I’m gonna have all of it. ~Grand Arbiter Decks
I think that even Kinnan can be included in the list. It’s cost of mana is almost zero and it can create a dangerous board state In few turns, if it doesn’t combo before of course
Honest question. Other than the fact that it only targets yourself why is Narset so much more hated than Jeleva? Jeleva let's me win with your cards and mine...is it the color combo? The hexproof?
Jeleva needs to get recast in order to "refuel", which makes it clunkier than Narset, who consistently spins the wheel every single turn. Jeleva also has no protection. And she exiles face-up, so everyone knows exactly what you spun into. Even if by some godly luck you spun into four extra turns, your opponents can immediately remove her and you lose access to these spells because she doesn't remember cards exiled by previous iterations of herself. Jeleva is a super fair card
@@astuteanansi4935 That makes sense! Also thank you for defending Jeleva I will show this to my pod so they can stop groaning about her... it is built as extra turns/mill into exile/play my opponents stuff but I have always said she is fair...I just don't think ppl like exiling their own spells.
@@GrimmTutelage A salty card is not always equivalent to an unfair card. I can see how Jeleva could be seen as salty, but she's not unfair by any stretch
My first MH2 collector booster had a retro frame foil Prismatic Vista, a retro frame foil Scalding Tarn, and a retro frame foil etched Urza... crazy pack. I then drew him 2 more times. I had to build him, they made me a villain lol
its hilarious to me that i have a friend who wants to build every single one of these but tergrid.
at first everyone looked at my Narset Auras deck like it was a balanced Narset. Like it was Narset but fun.
Then I put Ethereal Armor, Eldrazi Conscription, All That Glitters and Arcane Flight on Narset off a lucky topdeck. Nobody thought Narset Auras was fun any more.
As a krark player a good krark player can play faster than most other decks at the table i have an app that is designed to run the deck and flip my coins and run the board state if the board state gets crazy i played it tonight at fnm and while yes some people get salty because what the deck can do i won 2 games by turn 4 and 5 of 1v1. Out of 8 ongoing games on a hr time limit one of my games was less than 5 min 2nd was less than 10 far faster than others finished. last 2 where much longer but because we both were playing control heavy. The super friends player i played last hit time limit every game including mine. I can see the deck being disliked because yes playing a spell again and again can be pretty ridiculous. But i dont think its hated because we are all slow. But you must remember our power comes with the major draw back that we can completely flop a spell and spend mana on literal nothing. We take a gamble every card we play. Until we build an engine we are pretty harmless so maybe just dont let us build a giant engine 😂
If you think submerge is bad in the deck you should see deflecting swat and fierce guardianship with 4+ krark triggers and new gen of the deck runs more triggers doublers than copy effects any deck can have dumb combos though I mean even my worst deck rogue tribal has vorpal sword to attach to unblockable creatures iv been stomped everytime I'm not playing a casual home game with that deck but if that combo connects its instant game over no life loss no triggers just death what kind instant
I have a friend who had a Narset deck and literally the examples you guys were talking about he used (Extra turn cards, Ugin the Spirit Dragon, Eldrazi Titans, etc) and eventually he changed it to a much nicer version cause we had to basically make it archenemy against him each time cause it felt basically unstoppable back in the day.
After well, decades of not playing mtg, i am making a comeback, and now, since edh became a big thing, i started to rebuilt my collection ( sadly i sold my cards 15 years ago), and what did caught my eyes? Urza, Emakrul, and after opening a nice booster Tergrid. I was pretty happy, until i , Tottaly oblivious, showed my mate my sweet edh plans. You can imagine his response...
was a funny, but expensive experience, but i can see why it is generally hated or banned (Emakrul).
I still like Urza though, but i better just use him in the 99 if i go to my lgs, but it's really OP, and i was not taking the multiplayer aspect into consideration i realise now ;)
For Urza: He is really fun with 2 mana artifacts which have an "draw a card" ETB.
They become untapped signets which draw you a card when they enter. XD
The problem with Krarkashima is that usually people doesn't know how to play it or against it.
I want to elaborate more because I know someone is going to come and say "that argument is not valid" or "are you going to say to us to play more target removal?" And yes, I'm going to say that but it's not the main point.
The problem with Krarkashima is that the person who plays it really needs to know how to play it and when to go wild. First of all, is not a casual deck, it's a high power edh pair of commanders that want to combo, storming all the games they are in. So, the person who plays the deck needs to build it in a way thay they know they are going to win, not to speculate to win. If you sit on a table and someone plays krarkashima always ask them how do they win. If they tell you that "is luck based" or "when the decks wants" that is bad deck building. Help them if you can to make their deck better and consistent.
And finally: know when to concede to a Krarkashima deck. If the deck is going wild and cast 2/3 Jeska's Will in a row, you are dead for sure. Concede and go to other game. Stop complainint about that. Kill their commanders, stop the storm mechanic and the deck is dead.
Att: A Krarkashima player
If You know the deck and can play it proper, the "coin" flip in cEDH is really not that a big of problem. You can play it in tornaments, and it wins some times - becose its really good deck. You just need to "short" the coin flips (for example, if you need roll 3 of them, and "re-roll" the failed - then roll 3 dice at once, and re loll all that failed - you can do it in "seconds" ).
One of my strongest decks is a Tergrid deck. I have no shame. Although to be fair. I only play her when the table I'm playing at can 100% handle it and everyone is ok with me running it
There's a trend that these most hated commanders take away agency from others: either they're stealing your things, taking up everyone's time with extra turns/combats, or just preventing you from playing. Gross.
Here's how to make Krarkashima not worth doing, just make it so if you have to return the card back to the hand, you don't get copies off of it. So it doesn't matter if you got 2 copies and a return, it returned so you get nothing. Sure that makes the effect even swingier, and you can still get multiple copies but it's not an actual gamble if you get those copies. All or Nothing is the most balanced way to handle that card, because I still think that the person who designed Kiki Jiki is an actual piece of shit, since there never has been and never will be a card game that can make effect duplication balanced. So these types of cards need hard limits on them
A regular evening in my playgroup. Yuriko vs Tergrid vs Augustin IV vs Krarkashima. The Stax is strong in our group :D
I had to tear apart my Narset Spellslinger deck because it can't get a win unless people don't focus on it and I don't hit a Jin-Gitaxias off of Narset's attack trigger
You should try make a video about most unique commander and its deck or most underrated gameplay deck with its possible commander.
The Magistrate should be banned because its basically one player saying "You are not playing Commander anymore, but I am." I know...here comes the DtR arguments...
I got Tergrid in my Tourach Dread Cantor Commander deck that forces discarding. I'll consider some of these cards.
Edit: Thank you Beezy for understanding how to make these decks really scary. Trying to harness my evil.
Personally i do despise all these commanders for various reasons and find they either suck the fun out of the game, make the game painful or have just busted ability.
28:24 idk why it took me so long to make this connection, but you guys stopped taking about MTG like 3 commanders ago - this is global politics
I just want everybody to know, you shouldnt forget the lantern, took it a black creature hate deck with the lantern to plat on arena
i play narset chaos , everyone knows the rules . leave me alone and chaos ( fun ) will happen and if you want it to end, kill me ( not that simple )
The most hated Moxfield ad guess is, of course, 16:44. Day 40
I live to be arch enemy but agree slightly so i play yuriko with zero tutors and tergrid with zero land destruction
Besides ignoring commander tax i think the thing that hurts Yuriko players is that they build the deck so gimmicky that it’s boring to play against. For example putting a bunch of cards in the deck SOLELY for the purpose of burning the table. Feels like they basically never actually cast interesting spells which is a waste of one of most interesting value engines in commander.
When i built my Yuriko deck I specifically tried to build it in a way where i actually do things with the deck. All of the cards are actually playable and it’s helped a lot. I also pick and choose my spots to strike to i don’t get immediately hated off the board
My friend just has every extra turn in his it's super annoying
Hello, I dont know if anyone mentioned this or I am wrong, Tergrid will not get you Blithsteel???
damn commander players are more crybabies and complain way more than even competitive yugioh players lmao
Sen Triplets was my first deck and still my favorite, coincidentally it has Grand Arbiter Augustin and a bunch of other stax pieces as well, since if my opponents can’t play their spells, I can steal their stuff easily.
My buddy plays tergrid in the 99 of his Negan deck.... ugh no thank you
would aetherflux reservior be good in etali primal conqueror decks?
I’ve seen 4/5 of these in a cEDH game at my local game store (all but Tergrid). And I agree, I hate those commanders. Coming in with my casual EDH deck people were building huge boards and winning by turn 2, while I just had 2 lands
Using decks they googled off tapped out instead of playing a deck they used their own brain to make
I play winota and i'm more hated than a friends who play narset and sen triplets 😂😂
It’s painful hearing this guy talk about Magic, especially cEDH commanders and cards. If you’re playing Krarkashima and your game plan is to “cast Krark turn 2, cast Sakashima turn 4…” you’ve already lost in cEDH, nobody is building Krarkashima EDH
This isn’t a cEDH channel, so we don’t discuss cEDH play patterns.
Krark Sakashima is a cEDH duo. Why is it mentioned here?
*sees Tergrid*
Yeah, this is definitely right.
*Doesn't see Anvil of Bogardan with Tergrid*
Wait, what? But how though
10 decks to get you kicked out of your playgroup lol
"Its not THAT bad" : every single tergrid player ever
Eh the only one on this list that consistently annoys me is krark sakashima
the phrase "sinergy with winter orb" disturbs me so deeply
Where is the sliver overlord, in my opinion this is the worst😢
if it takes you 6 turns to get narset out, you built it wrong
Bring your absolute best against me. I love it.
i wanna build a krark-sakashima deck now.
Looks like awsome recomendations to me :D
claws of gix and mirrodin besieged ;)
Did I miss something here? Where is Joe Cherries
Best answer I ever had to Tergrid, Kresh The Blood-Braided in a turbo sacrifice elemental deck. Poor Tergrid couldn't keep up with Kresh; I play ball lightning, I attack with ball lightening, just before the beginning of my endstep I sacrifice ball lightning to some sac effect, you get ball lightning, at the beginning of my end step you sacrrfice ball lightning. Kresh collects many +1/+1 counters.
thoughts on tergrid for 2024?
Damn not even a mention of kaalia the vast
Tergrid is a bonkers commander. I can't bring myself to build her but love to run her in the 99 of my Meren deck.
Urza is such a let down, he's a slam dunk for a cool commander but everyone ran him into the ground with the most degenerate combos. If and when I build Urza, I'd go pure golems and flavor picks from brothers war.
You probably shouldn't tell people not to go outside, alot of these people need to touch grass anyways. 😂 Otherwise nice video on very hateable commanders
Brain Freeze is the only win con. Tasha's Hideous Laughter, imo is better. Reason being is that it exiles instead of mills cards from the top of the library. If you drop three or four copies of Tasha's. You've pretty much locked the game down.
Blue is the best artificial flavor
Out of those commanders, I have 2 (Krarkashima, and Tergrid, though tergrid has yet to see play) put together, and at some point I wanted to make decks for Narset and for Augustus, although that's kind of folded into wanting to make a deck for Hinata, and Urza's come to mind since his price dropped down so much.
And I will bring Krarkashima out when I'm feeling salty or feeling the need to be able to counter stuff fast and hard early in the game, it just gets tedious once I've got more than four krark triggers per spell cast.
I've got 9+ counter spells in that deck, an untold number of cantrips, several spells and creatures that copy creatures on the field, and several sources of netting mana off of casts. I consider it the very essence of Izzet. It'll either blow up over everything or go out with a fizzle, and I'll be laughing like a madman the whole time.
I have a Grand Arbiter deck. It really slowed down the game and I stopped 2 powerful decks. After 2 hours, the game ended in a draw. Thank you for the video Mia and Beezy.
Katana sleeves are better.
The nastiest thing i've done with Tergrid doesn't involve her as a commander, but in the maindeck of a Jund Discard deck. Tergrid on the field with a Robber Fly, equipped with a Blade of the Oni and Blade of Selves. Thrantis was the Commander, so everything had to attack every turn, and it was a goad deck, so those attacks were never coming my way. Like every deck i love, It's stupid, it's unreliable, but it's funny as hell when it goes off.
I built 4/7 and was considering building another 2 xD
Although I play them with stupid twists... or I dismantled them:
-Sen Triplets with no internal wincon
-Urza with no stax and most cards are altered to make an Ironman deck
-Yuriko has no twist, but I barely play it
-Tergrid has been dismantled
Of all the decks you could play against control decks are probably the least fun, at least some of the ones listed here. Because you aren't really given a chance to respond to their strategy in an interesting way, their strategy is to just not let you play at all.
I have a tergrid deck and a friend randomly picked cards from my deck to be in my hand... tergird was out by turn 2 and dark deal on 3 everyone called it after that lol
I run a Tergrid deck for tournaments. Fuck the competition. It's great getting people to scoop. 😊
Unfortunately I don't get to play any EDH atm, but here are some of my most hated Commanders from Arena's Historic Brawl Format:
Jetmir, Tiamat, Atraxa(4C), Thrun and Rusko Clockmaker
Anyone knows what happen to Joe?
What happened to Joe Cherries?
I built Tergrid with about 20 group draw cards. Everyone likes drawing cards here right?
I have seen Tergrid, a new player built around it, and it just never took off. But he was also learning and got a whole card list of suggestions for it.
Narset is top of my list, that hexproof just puts her in a category all by herself. Anything else i can just hold removal for.
What happened to the other guy??
Have a friend in my playgroup who had a tergrid deck but turned it into a tinybones deck. I believe she is still in the 99 though
