    While I picked up this deck for all the hype around K'rrik, I'm really glad (Miss) Anje has stood the test of time. So much fun to play, making a mechanic otherwise overlooked in commander really fun and genuinely competitive!

    I bought this deck for my daughter and a precon for myself at the same level, I think this video might get her into building her own, so now I can play my jank. Everything was very well explained. Thanks!

    Bruh. I’ve been waiting for this for forever. I’ve been maiming Anje for almost a year now bc I love the mechanics you can use with her. I have already done a ton of research on decks with her but when I saw this I had to watch it.

    Thank you for the video. I had had some trouble with how much reanimation I should include in the deck, because I had seen the worldgorger combo, and I didn’t know what other win con to use. The stuff with glint horn, brallin, konrad, etc seems way more fun and fair to me!

    Yeah this is what I loved about Commander Quarters earlier videos. Easy UI for Card viewing, quick explanation of the combos, FAST talking and bad puns. I also like the premise of using the EDHrec Average Deck. There are all the staples already included which do not need to be explained. Nice format.

    I like how having such a high madness creature count essentially decreases your deck size, letting you find what you need the sooner you start utilizing your commander. I love this build!

  • @DankWish
    @DankWish 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I am building an Anje deck (I found the precon). I've never played magic before so I hope the madness mechanic isn't too overwhelming but I'm really looking forward to playing my first game. Been doing a ton of research and this video was super helpful, thanks!

  • @joshpickering5039
    @joshpickering5039 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love this. It got so many interesting new cards in recent sets it’s worth a fresh take on the list.
    I bought the precon and made a Kr’rik deck, but the Anje deck always felt underpowered and I didn’t want it to be a glass cannon Worldgorger combo deck because my pod runs too much instant speed removal and once they know how the combo works they’ll just hold up mana to make sure I get disrupted. Not fun for anyone at the table…
    Living Death, Twilights Call and even a Rise of the Dark realms are a really fun way to win with this deck, and if you can simultaneously drain your opponents from discard and wheel effects then if they exile your graveyard you still have a shot!

  • @ArcRaiyne
    @ArcRaiyne 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    3:45-4:30 is truly excellent. I really like how you articulated CDH and why you decided to not use the infinite combo and even recommended those interested seek it out. My only criticism would be to provide a recommendation on where to go. But that's being picky and digging deep. As always great job on the deck.

  • @mn6334
    @mn6334 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Pretty cool. Moving away from the combo is pretty obvious because the high power combo deck is probably already pretty solved by the high power community so doing a lower powered upgrade is cool.
    I wonder if Surly Badgersaur is worth a look. It would probably get pretty big with all the creatures you're trying to discard and can be decent removal with the fight ability when discarding any non-creatures. The land->treasure ability probably won't happen as often but it can be a little bit of extra mana.

    • @irajohnston5160

  • @ingolf82
    @ingolf82 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    hmmm... interesting. While I am a combo player at heart, I think this might be more fun, I'll have the WGD combo pieces on the side if I switch the deck over to cEDH. to add living death was interesting, I was sure you would have added rise of the dark realms, that way you get everyone's creatures :) but maybe you can add that too.

  • @MarneusAndMilkyBlood
    @MarneusAndMilkyBlood ปีที่แล้ว

    Only one recommendation: Library of Leng.
    If I understand well, that's a really easy way to go discard infinitely the same card, allowing you to get that discard trigger infinitely.

    I've been building all of my recent decks to swap in and out combos for different power levels and play groups. This Anje deck is my most ambitious: swapping in and out 10 cards to allow both the Worldgorger combo or a Balthor/Living Death reanimation plan: archidekt.com/decks/1485479#Back_From_The_Brink

    I play Anje with eldrazi and tergrid synergies instead of world gorger combo. It can be brutal for a table to deal with pathrazers and crushers on t4 but most of my time I’m just end of turn madness cycling and digging for oppression and tergrid. Konrad and a mind crank seem like good adds to my list.

    Question concerning Syr Konrad. Since madness cards discard into exile, won't they not trigger him unless you choose not to cast them for their madness cost? I realize a good chunk of the madness cards are just there to fuel the draw engine; I just want to confirm how the cards would interact.

    • @Hashbrown1682
      @Hashbrown1682 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      So when you Discard a card with MADNESS, it's discarded into exile and you can choose to pay for the madness cost, if you don't the card ends up in the grave upon resolution.
      So if you Discard a MADNESS card, it gets discarded into exile and if the MADNESS cost isn't payed for it'll end up in the GY
