I like the fact that the upgrades section isn't immediately $200 cards. Most budget deck tech have their upgrades section feature stuff like mana crypt and cavern of souls, which make any deck great but not before burning a hole in your wallet.
The Commander's Quarters it's cool, but another section like "expensive upgreades" Will be good, with cards that have a great interaction with the deck, no cards like mana crypt or senseis divining top... Those cards are useful in all commander decks. Cool video, so much thanks!
Fun rules interaction for Pernicious Deed - pay 0 for X to kill only tokens if someone is swarming. Thought I'd share since many don't know or think of that.
But be careful of destroying your own 0 cost artifacts, did that once to my everflowing chalice by accident though it does allow you to multi-kick it for more later on in a Muldrotha deck.
Appreciate the compliment! Just started a month ago and I am blown away by the positivity and support I have gotten so far from this amazing community!
Yeah, for real. There’s so much content here and it’s all arranged nicely, I thought this channel was way bigger until I checked he sub count. Keep up the great work, I really enjoy watching these!
I was trying to build a deck for a commander league where there is a $100 price limit on your deck when I stumbled onto your channel. This deck left me dazed.... as did my opponents once I played it. How you explain tactics and the deck build was very clear and concise, and your video editing is top notch. Subscribed! Keep up the great work!
There is one card that is just PERFECT for this deck, I don't think you've included it : Demon Apocalypse. His power and toughness are equal to the number of cards in the graveyard AND you have to sacrifice a creature to untap it. This is just incredible, with a chupacabra for example !
Same. My Muldrotha deck was really just my first ever Commander deck that I threw together with what I had in my collection. I've been waiting for an opportunity to throw a few more budget cards in there for a decent deck rather than the miserable state it's currently writhing in. I'll be doing some ordering, but lucky for me I think I'm going to be able to keep my list under $20 because I already have a few of these cards, and I plan to keep other cards in. A.) Because it fits my playstyle, and B.) Because I don't believe in pure netdecking.
Of course! The Professor and SBMTG, I like that you all champion budget gaming. Magic can be expensive on the competitive level and this can intimidate players, by being able to play budget anybody can enjoy the game. To me this is very important cause while I do have a competitive Modern deck I also am able to enjoy the more casual formats, heck on a strictly fun level I like casual formats more!
I also put this in my top three but the other 2 are Commanders Brew and Budget MTG Decks. I might even place this above the other two, just that they have more videos as they've been at it longer. Keep up the great work.

this channel is so good. I dont know why people think they need competitive decks for casual play. For newbies, 25 dollar deck techs are a godsend, especially in this format.
I like this video and want this deck. I want to substitute Worm Harvest for a $2 10cmc Primal Surge. It is a sorcery that when played puts ALL permanents from your library onto the battlefield as long as the library only has permanents.
A couple of cards I've been knocking around for Muldrotha are Mortivore and Sewer Nemesis. Mortivore is like Splinterfright without the mill and Mortivore is a little more pricey ($1.50) but you can choose yourself and it will grow the more you cast. Like always a great deck tech and I can't wait for the next .
This video came out just in time when I bought Muldrotha for a new EDH deck at my local game store. A very good breakdown, with commendable points of interest all around. Keep it up!
I just built my first EDH deck and lo it's centered around Muldrotha. This popped up in my feed so I thought I'd check it out. With my limited collection I was glad to see a lot of the cards I added in it! This offered great insight thanks!
I gotta say with around a 200$ budget, using the creature base from this, you could throw in some serious land upgrades and make this a seriously competitive deck!! Thanks for all the ideas!!
@Jehovah I use Jace, Wielder of mysteries. If you draw a card and have none you win the game. Also Cranial archive is nice if you want to prevent 30 cards in your grave from being exiled
If you are really worried, add any of the following; Midnight Clock, Elixir of Immortality, Enhanced Surveillance, Mnemonic Nexus, Clear the Mind or Quest of Ancient Secrets.
This is the first video i've seen from you and i LOVE it. i have a non-budget version of this and you showed me a few cards that i need to put in and now my friends will truly hate my muldrotha. subscribed
The mending of dominaria is pretty sweet in this deck. Also I play with a little of instants and sorceries like: grapple whit the past, dark deal. Also scribe of the mindful, ramunap excavator y splendid reclamation :3
Definitely considered all of those cards! I didn't end up including them for various reasons. Mending shuffles your graveyard back into your library, and the lands that I'd gain from that didn't outweigh then loss of my graveyard. Instants and Sorceries I stayed away from since I wanted to focus on permanents to ensure that everything could be cast out of my graveyard. Excavator is a great card, but was too pricey for the budget!
Putting cards like Scribe of the Mindful and The Mirari Conjecture are sweet ways for me to play instants and sorceries with Muldrotha. But that's just how I play with her.
I love that Mirror-Mad Phantasm is getting some love here. I've had it in my Mimeoplasm deck for ages and it has only disappointed once. (And that one time gave me a good story so no complaints here!)
Been watching the channel for a little bit and I am loving all of these deck techs. I play budget and non budget styles and all of the decks are great for beginners and veterans alike. Keep up the good work guys! Can't wait for more!
The deck looks actually kinda fun, sure there are some cards that could be switched out but its cool. I like how these videos help people get a cheap ready to play deck at a affordable price. I like building my decks from a list and then from there, I use the skeleton part of the deck and upgrading it to my own play style. So these video ideas actually help build the decks faster for me without having to spend a lot on making the decks.
Well Mitch, thanks to this video I was able to build my long wanted Muldrotha deck under a budget and use some of my own goodies to "tweak" it. As I said before, you are a magician bro! Thanks !!!
I built a Muldrotha Commander after Cracking a foil one from a pack and it's really fun. I went for a more quick ramp, big creatures strategy for it. Really happy to see that some of my picks were in the video, since I pretty much just built off of my old collection of cards. I'll take a to get some of the cards you suggested to upgrade it! Great video btw :)
Before I sold my entire magic collection 3 years ago, I had a nasty graveyard deck around kharador. I have been working on a similar muldrotha deck since I got back into magic for the past few months. Some of your cards I have in my deck, some I have different. Commander: Muldrotha Enchantments: Call of the wild Grave pact Dictate of erebos From beyond Artifacts: Mirage mirror Ashnod’s altar Desecrated tomb Sol ring Simic signet Golgari signet Astral cornucopia Cauldron of souls Spells: Recollect Dread return Living death Gaea’s blessing Benefaction of rhonas Buried alive Forbidden alchemy Costly plunder Putrefy Nature’s spiral Torment of hailfire Villainous wealth Planeswalkers: Garruk relentless Liliana vess Tezzeret, artifice master Garruk, apex predator Creatures: Solemn simulacrum Mirror image Body double Bloodthrone vampire Eternal witness Driver of the dead Pharika’s mender Gravecrawler Diregraf ghoul Festering mummy Butcher ghoul Reassembling skeleton Siren stormtamer Ruthless knave Whisper, blood liturgist Hell’s caretaker Thrashing brontodon Acidic slime Dark hatchling Yavimaya elder Elvish visionary Butcher of malakir Pawn of ulamog Sifter of skulls Catacomb sifter Pitiless plunderer Savra , queen of the golgari Mulldrifter Spawnsire of ulamog Zulaport cutthroat Falkenrath noble It that betrays Poison-tip archer Bloodcrazed paladin Brawn Wonder Cadaver imp Gonti, lord of luxury Epicure of blood Forest x5 Island x4 Swamp x5 Zhalfirin void Command tower Mortuary mire Crumbling vestige Cradle of the accursed Field of ruin Temple of the false god Blighted woodland Fetid pools Terramorphic expanse Tranquil thicket Barren moor Lonely sandbar Yavimaya coast Llanowar wastes Simic growth chamber Golgari rot farm Dreadship reef Cards I want to try to fit in maybe: Elvish rejuvenator Artisan of kozilek Exclusion mage Siren lookout Plaguecrafter Homarid explorer Severed strands Timestream navigator Mausoleum secrets Undercity necrolisk Jarad, golgari lich lord Vraska, relic seeker Dreamborn muse Ravenous chupacabra Fierce empath Evolving wilds Nissa, genesis mage Woodland cemetery Lifecrafter’s bestiary Llanowar envoy
I like using Vampire Hexmage and Legacy's Allure in Muldrotha. Hexmage can remove counters from sagas so you can keep them on the battlefield before they pop or have a repeatable planeswalker killer. Allure is repeatable creature stealing, albeit a little slow.
Hey Mitch! So I loved this deck tech most of all and already had a Muldrotha so I figured I’d build one and put a little spin on it here and there. One thing I found is an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE for the reasonable upgrades, Helm of the Host. If you use the original Muldrotha’s graveyard play up on MP1 then make the token on combat, on MP2 you can use token Muldrotha’s graveyard play. Rinse and repeat every following turn for an absolute nightmare of a board for your friends!
Awesome vids man, really helpful! I got myself the anthology 2 mimeoplasm deck and got some upgrades for it. Some cards people can consider: greenseeker and compulsion are both great ways of progressing your engine; dakmor salvage and stinkweed imp will mill you out in no time (golgari grave troll as well); monastery siege works really well as it basically draws you two cards; havengul lich as a little proxy of muldrotha if you can't get her out; grimoire of the dead is a neat little card that can turn the tide for you if your opponets don't deal with it; steel hellkite is also something I got, but I might replace it with pernicious deed; and mulldrifter is a must in any recursion deck! Keep up the amazing work, I'm looking forward to the next deck :)
The Muldrotha build I've been working with is mostly dies triggers and emerge eldrazi. But I see that there are a lot of cards I hadn't heard of which could be fun alongside my emerge eldrazi.
I built this deck in its base form. Then added the suggested improvements. I love to play it. I've made a few tweaks. I found the one planeswalker was a bit fragile and I didn't get enough out of it. Yeah, it would be nice to pull it out again and again. I swapped it out for Pattern of Rebirth. Animate dead lets me pull creatures from graveyards, but not all the cards I want are there. I like to pull what I need. I like to get something like Sidisi, Undead Vizier. Then the sky's the limit! I also added Yavimaya Hollow. I bought a lot of cards during Urza's block. Its not a cheap card. It does, however, give you one more way to protect your commander. Thanks again CC!
This deck is great on fair match ups. Got stomp on some infinite turns deck and other in a damage equal to my life. But in more casual settings this runs great. Great channel.
Spore frog and glacial chasm are two nice cards for future inclusion on this deck. Once you have ramped some lands you can afford playing glacial chasm some times and locking players without paying mana.
The next set will offer so many options with Surveil to put cards into graveyard instead of on bottom, and some awesome golgari legends. Oh, also that under-whatevery keyword ability would work for the deck too. Also, I really loved the video and look forward to many more.
i am a experienced muldrotha player and on a much higher budget, but i say you did a great job on this one! The only thing i missed a lot on the build is more artifact and enchantment removal, as a graveyard deck, theres a lot of stuff that stops your recursion and you should probably get more answers, also since your strategy favors the a long game, you should be disrupting your opponents on that way.
Wow man, awesome video! I have been playing magic for 5-6 years, but I never really got into commander until a couple of weeks ago. My first (and only deck for now) is U/B phenax graveyard/mill deck. It works great in 1v1, but not so much in 3 or 4 player commander. I mean, it is kind of a mill deck after all 😂. Anyway, this deck tech is great. I might adopt it and add a few cards from the U/B deck just to see what will happen. I really enjoy your budget videos man and I look forward to seeing your channel grow!
I used to run a Mirror mad Phantasm in a Splinter frights self milk turbofog standard deck winning with the Laboratory maniac- using Increasing ambition and a fire ball for the win! Memories
Hey what do you think about Desecrated Tomb? 3 colorless - Artifact - Whenever one or more creature cards leave your graveyard, create a 1/1 black Bat creature token with flying. Market Price: $0.41 Or Zombie Infestation? 1 Black 1 Colorless - Enchantment - Discard two cards: Put a 2/2 black Zombie creature token onto the battlefield. Market Price: $0.33 Another creature similar to burnished heart bu cheaper: Yavimaya Elder - 2 Green - 1 Colorless - When Yavimaya Elder is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, you may search your library for up to two basic land cards, reveal them, and put them into your hand. If you do, shuffle your library. 2 Colorless, Sacrifice Yavimaya Elder: Draw a card. Market Price: $0.41
Hey great suggestions! I think desecrated tomb is too slow and underwhelming in this deck, can do much more powerful things. Infestation is a little better, and would definitely work even better around a Zombie build. Yavimaya Elder is great but since he just gets the lands and doesn't actually ramp you, I personally would keep him out of the deck.
To go along with an idea in this vid, Sidisi, Brood Tyrant and Path of Discovery is a great combo with an amazing focus in a deck, while still able to use Muldrotha in the deck as well.
The quality you have in these videos and brewing is nuts, much deserved spike in subs and popularity. Really curious how effective you could make a Xantcha deck on such a low budget
Thanks! I actually don't have a Xantcha deck planned as of right now, but off the top of my head you could literally just slot her into the Lyzolda deck to replace Lyzolda. Would win in the exact same way and the deck would work the same.
Im building a muldrotha deck that’s around $69. It’s got fairly priced lands (especially crowd lands) and it has time stretch in there to annoy my opponents late game. Very excited to play it.
Your golden pig pick this time around was the first card I put into my own muldrotha build! Such a good card for the deck and not one I see other people use too often. Glad you included it
Great episode, I'll likely be purchasing this as a skeleton to upgrade into. That said I did notice your removal package doesn't have much in the way of targeted removal that can deal with black creatures. My own meta means I'll need to change that. So for those folks like me with a meta more heavy in black mana creatures consider Sinister Concoction and Banewhip Punisher. They both have downsides, the first makes you discard a card and the second doesn't work against +1 counter strategies, but they both will deal with black creatures.
However a lot of his "removal" is multi-opponents and blanket. So a sac that hits every player once does more workand works around Hexproof which is becoming more and more standard in Precons.
eternal witness is a great upgrade, allows you to also recast instant/sorceries. gives you more options for boardwipes/wincons. i also find avenger of zendikar a must in this deck
Oh nice and yeah it's a great format to play with! And you never know! Could play together sometime if you and your friends are at a shop or tournament that I am at as well!
Just ordered the deck! The price was a little over $25 for me, but I won't go bellow lightly played. Being new to commander I am super happy to have a deck that I can grow into.
The Commander's Quarters first run through was super fun! I played a game against two of the 2018 decks and another homemade deck. It felt really solid and had very few weak spots. Unless someone exiles the graveyard they can only delay the deck.
Although quite pricy at around 6 dollars, Journey to eternity is a great enchantment that can protect muldrotha and Can be great creature recursion when muldrotha isn’t on the battlefield. You might even risk putting muldrotha in the graveyard to cheat it in later
Great tech;. Love Muldrotha. I like your inclusion of Attunement. Going to make that change in mine, too. Another enchantment worth considering would be Oath of Druids.
Something really old that you missed was Vanishing. True, it takes up a lot of blue, but a lot of cards in this list already do a fair amount with specific colored mana, so it shouldn't be that bad, especially with the level of ramp. Anyway, since Muldrotha is more or less only useful on our own turn, Vanishing ensures that you get to keep Muldrotha safe from absolutely everything, if you don't mind looking up the rulings on phasing. And best part? A played version of this card is a dime, near mint is a quarter. Hooray for obscurity!
I just found 2 fantastic lands that are super cheap and provide a lot of protection for muldrotha: Safe Have - Land - $0.25: 2, Tap: Remove target creature you control from the game. At the beginning of your upkeep, you may sacrifice Safe Haven. If you do, return each card removed from the game with Safe Haven to play under its owner's control. Endless Sands - Land - $0.19: Tap: Add C to your mana pool. 2, Tap: Exile target creature you control. 4, Tap: Sacrifice Endless Sands: Return each creature card exiled with Endless Sands to the battlefield under its owner's control.
Although not necessarily cheap, Seedborn Muse/Prophet of Kruphix and Vedalken Orrery make excellent upgrades. With Orrery out, you can play more cards of each permanent type per turn cycle, but when combined with Muse/Prophet, EVERY turn is your turn. If you manage to combine this with Mindslaver, you can quickly outnumber everybody. Controlling every one else and just forcing them to kill each other at record speeds.
I’ve been looking into building some cool decks and this one is really interesting for a budget deck, I’d love to see your version of a Trostani deck or Sek’kuar
After the release of Guilds of Ravnica I think vraska, golgari queen and izoni, thousand-eyed make great additions to the deck. Vraska is a bit on the expensive side but izoni is only a dollar give or take. Implement of Examination makes a good reoccurring card draw card as well.
Quick question. I know it’s really specific but would you guys be able to make a budget decklist for Ezuri, Claw of Progress? I really haven’t been able to find one that I wanna build. I want to build him but I don’t know what direction to take him in. If you can’t I completely understand.
Love this deck as an alternative for my Muldrotha deck (worth thousands of dollars) for playing in lower power play groups because sometimes a turn 3/4 Infinite combo win is a bit much
Hey I pulled a foil muldrotha and I'll look into building a commander deck like this. This channel is amazing... how many people are working on it? Editing quality is really great and it looks like soooo much work... I hope (and think) this channel will skyrocket in subs/views good luck :D hope you see this easiest sub in a while
I've been talking to a couple people I play EDH with about wanting to build a Muldrotha deck, as it is GY recursion, which is something I've never tried before. I haven't played a ton of decks since I started back into MTG, playing EDH (Only format I play). Also, I work swing shift, so I have to play on MTGO or don't play at all.. So I predict cards will be even cheaper :) .. Looking forward to building this deck! (Warning: I am really bad a deck building, so I try to outsource that stuff whenever I can. Keep that in mind when reading below, as I very well could be wrong.) I can think of 3 good cards I will want to put in the deck that isn't in the tech (2 arn't in the tech, as they arn't permanents and are out of the budget range, 3rd is just a little out of the price range). Cyclonic Rift (for obvious reasons), Rite of Replication and Helm of the Host... have Splinterfright on the board? Rite of Replication to make 5 more! 6 Spliterfrights now!! Even if they are only 5/5 at the time, that's still 30 power you can be swinging with, and can get even higher quickly. Or do Rite on a creature one of your opponents have that looks scary! .. (next part is in theory, as I have not done it nor seen it done with Muldrotha yet) Helm of the Host, equip on Muldrotha, and now you can cast multiple of each permanent type each turn! You have 2 Muldrotha's, now you can cast 2 enchantments, 2 creatures, etc., on each of your turns. Plus, it's another 6/6 to attack or block with. And helps you keep your engine going if someone does targeted removal of Muldrotha (although.. which one will they remove? hehe). Each turn, you keep getting another Muldrotha token, making her engine become even better. As I said, those 3 cards are out of the budget range for paper decks, but if you already have a lot of decks (that have blue for Cyclonic and Rite), think of the cost of the cards, spread out between all those decks. Cyclonic Rift is as low as $19.99(NM) on Card Kingdom or as low as 0.19 tix for on Card Hoarder(MTGO). Rite of Replication is as low as $6.49(NM) on Card Kingdom or as low as 0.03 tix on Card Hoarder(MTGO). Helm of the Host is as low as $2.79(NM) on Card Kingdom or as low as 0.01 tix on Card Hoarder. So these 3 cards I have in mind, are very much in the budget range for a MTGO deck. If you only play in paper, $20 for a single card (Cyclonic Rift) might seem like a lot, but if you put it in 3 other decks in blue, then it's like a $5 card for each of those decks. Cyclonic Rift is pretty much an auto-add for any blue deck.
I like the fact that the upgrades section isn't immediately $200 cards. Most budget deck tech have their upgrades section feature stuff like mana crypt and cavern of souls, which make any deck great but not before burning a hole in your wallet.
100% agree! Yeah I am not going to recommend a card in the reasonable upgrades, that I actually wouldn't consider buying myself.
The Commander's Quarters it's cool, but another section like "expensive upgreades" Will be good, with cards that have a great interaction with the deck, no cards like mana crypt or senseis divining top... Those cards are useful in all commander decks. Cool video, so much thanks!
Fun rules interaction for Pernicious Deed - pay 0 for X to kill only tokens if someone is swarming. Thought I'd share since many don't know or think of that.
Definitely good to point out! Yeah Pernicious Deed can wreck token decks very easily.
I do the same thing with steel hellkite
Oh nice! Another great card
But be careful of destroying your own 0 cost artifacts, did that once to my everflowing chalice by accident though it does allow you to multi-kick it for more later on in a Muldrotha deck.
ACKCHYUALLY it destroys tokens without mana cost, token copies (Rite of Replication and similar) have mana costs.
The editing and quality in this is way too high for you guys to only have 2.5k subs. The only way to go from here is up.
Appreciate the compliment! Just started a month ago and I am blown away by the positivity and support I have gotten so far from this amazing community!

Well thank you, and I hope you enjoy the upcoming deck techs!
4 days later they have 5.5k. Looks like you caught them early in what looks like could be a resounding success!
Yeah it's been a crazy ride so far! Excited to see where it can go from here!
I was trying to build a deck for a commander league where there is a $100 price limit on your deck when I stumbled onto your channel. This deck left me dazed.... as did my opponents once I played it.
How you explain tactics and the deck build was very clear and concise, and your video editing is top notch. Subscribed! Keep up the great work!
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it!
Juno NiGHTS how did the Muldrotha deck do, that you made.
There is one card that is just PERFECT for this deck, I don't think you've included it : Demon Apocalypse. His power and toughness are equal to the number of cards in the graveyard AND you have to sacrifice a creature to untap it. This is just incredible, with a chupacabra for example !
A good consideration!
Easily one of my favorite commander channels, nice job my dude
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the deck techs!
I think I just stumbled upon a diamond in the rough! This is a gem of a channel! Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying it!
I have a half finished Muldrotha deck on my shelves I've just been waiting for a budget build for. Thanks so much for this!
Nice! Glad I could help!
Same. My Muldrotha deck was really just my first ever Commander deck that I threw together with what I had in my collection. I've been waiting for an opportunity to throw a few more budget cards in there for a decent deck rather than the miserable state it's currently writhing in. I'll be doing some ordering, but lucky for me I think I'm going to be able to keep my list under $20 because I already have a few of these cards, and I plan to keep other cards in. A.) Because it fits my playstyle, and B.) Because I don't believe in pure netdecking.
You are quickly becoming one of my favorite MTG you tubers in fact I'm putting you in my top 3.
Well thank you, I am honored! May I ask who I am up there with?
Of course! The Professor and SBMTG, I like that you all champion budget gaming. Magic can be expensive on the competitive level and this can intimidate players, by being able to play budget anybody can enjoy the game. To me this is very important cause while I do have a competitive Modern deck I also am able to enjoy the more casual formats, heck on a strictly fun level I like casual formats more!
Both fantastic channels! I 100% agree that budget opens up the door for everyone to enjoy the game!
I also put this in my top three but the other 2 are Commanders Brew and
Budget MTG Decks. I might even place this above the other two, just that they have more videos as they've been at it longer. Keep up the great work.
Looks like I need to make more videos ;)
And thank you! I am honored!
How have I not found you yet, this is amazing quality and the deck was well done. I think this will be the first time I actually want notifications from a channel.
Glad you enjoyed it!

this channel is so good. I dont know why people think they need competitive decks for casual play. For newbies, 25 dollar deck techs are a godsend, especially in this format.
Absolutely!
I like this video and want this deck. I want to substitute Worm Harvest for a $2 10cmc Primal Surge. It is a sorcery that when played puts ALL permanents from your library onto the battlefield as long as the library only has permanents.
A great consideration for a reasonable upgrade!
My dude definitely an upgrade I'm looking at
A couple of cards I've been knocking around for Muldrotha are Mortivore and Sewer Nemesis. Mortivore is like Splinterfright without the mill and Mortivore is a little more pricey ($1.50) but you can choose yourself and it will grow the more you cast.
Like always a great deck tech and I can't wait for the next .

Haha yeah some decks have an achilles heel
@Jehovah I use Jace, Wielder of mysteries. If you draw a card and have none you win the game. Also Cranial archive is nice if you want to prevent 30 cards in your grave from being exiled
If you are really worried, add any of the following; Midnight Clock, Elixir of Immortality, Enhanced Surveillance, Mnemonic Nexus, Clear the Mind or Quest of Ancient Secrets.
This is the first video i've seen from you and i LOVE it. i have a non-budget version of this and you showed me a few cards that i need to put in and now my friends will truly hate my muldrotha. subscribed
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
The mending of dominaria is pretty sweet in this deck. Also I play with a little of instants and sorceries like: grapple whit the past, dark deal. Also scribe of the mindful, ramunap excavator y splendid reclamation :3
Definitely considered all of those cards! I didn't end up including them for various reasons. Mending shuffles your graveyard back into your library, and the lands that I'd gain from that didn't outweigh then loss of my graveyard. Instants and Sorceries I stayed away from since I wanted to focus on permanents to ensure that everything could be cast out of my graveyard. Excavator is a great card, but was too pricey for the budget!
Putting cards like Scribe of the Mindful and The Mirari Conjecture are sweet ways for me to play instants and sorceries with Muldrotha. But that's just how I play with her.
Definitely another way to go about it with Muldrotha! Personally I like to sticking to just permanents so that I know I can always get something back.
A great consideration! And there are definitely more reasonable upgrades you can put in for board removal (Oblivion Stone for example)
Holy crap I stumbled onto your deck tech and this is awesome. I will be watching all of your other videos now :) Thanks for the content.
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you enjoy the other deck techs just as much!
I love that Mirror-Mad Phantasm is getting some love here. I've had it in my Mimeoplasm deck for ages and it has only disappointed once. (And that one time gave me a good story so no complaints here!)
Yeah I love that card!
Been watching the channel for a little bit and I am loving all of these deck techs. I play budget and non budget styles and all of the decks are great for beginners and veterans alike. Keep up the good work guys! Can't wait for more!
This deck tech is FANTASTIC.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The deck looks actually kinda fun, sure there are some cards that could be switched out but its cool. I like how these videos help people get a cheap ready to play deck at a affordable price. I like building my decks from a list and then from there, I use the skeleton part of the deck and upgrading it to my own play style. So these video ideas actually help build the decks faster for me without having to spend a lot on making the decks.
Definitely! You need to make the deck your own!
Well Mitch, thanks to this video I was able to build my long wanted Muldrotha deck under a budget and use some of my own goodies to "tweak" it. As I said before, you are a magician bro! Thanks !!!
That's awesome! Glad to help!
I built a Muldrotha Commander after Cracking a foil one from a pack and it's really fun. I went for a more quick ramp, big creatures strategy for it. Really happy to see that some of my picks were in the video, since I pretty much just built off of my old collection of cards. I'll take a to get some of the cards you suggested to upgrade it!
Great video btw :)
Glad you enjoyed it!

Oh man, I've been wanting a EDH deck for this since it was spoiled!
You will have to let me know if you end up giving it a try!
Spore frog is also good for preventing combat dmf
I like using Vampire Hexmage and Legacy's Allure in Muldrotha. Hexmage can remove counters from sagas so you can keep them on the battlefield before they pop or have a repeatable planeswalker killer. Allure is repeatable creature stealing, albeit a little slow.
Both great considerations for the deck! Never thought of using Hexmage like that!
Hey Mitch! So I loved this deck tech most of all and already had a Muldrotha so I figured I’d build one and put a little spin on it here and there. One thing I found is an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE for the reasonable upgrades, Helm of the Host. If you use the original Muldrotha’s graveyard play up on MP1 then make the token on combat, on MP2 you can use token Muldrotha’s graveyard play. Rinse and repeat every following turn for an absolute nightmare of a board for your friends!
That would be a nightmare haha
Awesome vids man, really helpful! I got myself the anthology 2 mimeoplasm deck and got some upgrades for it.
Some cards people can consider: greenseeker and compulsion are both great ways of progressing your engine; dakmor salvage and stinkweed imp will mill you out in no time (golgari grave troll as well); monastery siege works really well as it basically draws you two cards; havengul lich as a little proxy of muldrotha if you can't get her out; grimoire of the dead is a neat little card that can turn the tide for you if your opponets don't deal with it; steel hellkite is also something I got, but I might replace it with pernicious deed; and mulldrifter is a must in any recursion deck!
Keep up the amazing work, I'm looking forward to the next deck :)
All great cards to consider!
And thank you, I am glad you are enjoying them!
I love your channel, I found it two days algo and I am in love with your great work.
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words!
The Muldrotha build I've been working with is mostly dies triggers and emerge eldrazi. But I see that there are a lot of cards I hadn't heard of which could be fun alongside my emerge eldrazi.
Oh nice! That's a really cool way to go about it as well!
Video Content, Quality of Editing, Sound ... man your videos should have 200k each minimum. Great work I'm a fan!
200k...a guy can dream haha. And thank you!
Wow! This is amazing for someone like me who wants to start in on commander!
Wish I had found this channel a few years ago! =)
Glad you are enjoying it!
And actually I just started the channel a little over a month ago, so don't be too hard on yourself haha
Thanks for making the channel then!
I've been binging this channel lately, such good content. Keep it up!
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying it!
Great content clearly explained, the concept of this series is superb. You have acquired another subscriber, thank you.
Thank you for your support!
I built this deck in its base form. Then added the suggested improvements. I love to play it. I've made a few tweaks. I found the one planeswalker was a bit fragile and I didn't get enough out of it. Yeah, it would be nice to pull it out again and again. I swapped it out for Pattern of Rebirth. Animate dead lets me pull creatures from graveyards, but not all the cards I want are there. I like to pull what I need. I like to get something like Sidisi, Undead Vizier. Then the sky's the limit! I also added Yavimaya Hollow. I bought a lot of cards during Urza's block. Its not a cheap card. It does, however, give you one more way to protect your commander.
Thanks again CC!
That was great! I stumbled across this video randomly and I was just planning on building a commander with muldrotha, thanks a lot :)
This deck is great on fair match ups. Got stomp on some infinite turns deck and other in a damage equal to my life. But in more casual settings this runs great. Great channel.
Thanks!
Thank you. Everything was very clear & easy to understand.
Coming back to this deck two years later and this deck at its cheapest is still over 100 dollars
Spore frog and glacial chasm are two nice cards for future inclusion on this deck. Once you have ramped some lands you can afford playing glacial chasm some times and locking players without paying mana.
Both are great reasonable upgrades!
The next set will offer so many options with Surveil to put cards into graveyard instead of on bottom, and some awesome golgari legends. Oh, also that under-whatevery keyword ability would work for the deck too.
Also, I really loved the video and look forward to many more.
Absolutely!
Best Magic Channel EVER!
Thank you!
i am a experienced muldrotha player and on a much higher budget, but i say you did a great job on this one! The only thing i missed a lot on the build is more artifact and enchantment removal, as a graveyard deck, theres a lot of stuff that stops your recursion and you should probably get more answers, also since your strategy favors the a long game, you should be disrupting your opponents on that way.
Thanks! All valid points and the deck can definitely be adjusted to deal with playgroups that run a lot of graveyard hate!
You have a list?
Wow man, awesome video! I have been playing magic for 5-6 years, but I never really got into commander until a couple of weeks ago. My first (and only deck for now) is U/B phenax graveyard/mill deck. It works great in 1v1, but not so much in 3 or 4 player commander. I mean, it is kind of a mill deck after all 😂. Anyway, this deck tech is great. I might adopt it and add a few cards from the U/B deck just to see what will happen. I really enjoy your budget videos man and I look forward to seeing your channel grow!
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words and your support! Phenax is pretty fun, but yeah he is much more effective in 1v1.
I used to run a Mirror mad Phantasm in a Splinter frights self milk turbofog standard deck winning with the Laboratory maniac- using Increasing ambition and a fire ball for the win! Memories
That's awesome!
I love muldrotha...def gonna try this deck
Nice! You will have to let me know how it plays for you!
Built Muldrotha this week and completely missed Phantasm. Thanks for the heads up on that!
Glad I could help! He is pretty sweet
This was awesome. You, sir, have earned a subscription!
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the support!
ive never heard of hesitation ill have to buy a couple copies of that card now.
Yeah hesitation is pretty hilarious in multiplayer. Lunar Force is another one for you to consider if you like hesitation.
Hey what do you think about Desecrated Tomb?
3 colorless - Artifact - Whenever one or more creature cards leave your graveyard, create a 1/1 black Bat creature token with flying. Market Price: $0.41
Or Zombie Infestation?
1 Black 1 Colorless - Enchantment - Discard two cards: Put a 2/2 black Zombie creature token onto the battlefield. Market Price: $0.33
Another creature similar to burnished heart bu cheaper:
Yavimaya Elder - 2 Green - 1 Colorless - When Yavimaya Elder is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, you may search your library for up to two basic land cards, reveal them, and put them into your hand. If you do, shuffle your library.
2 Colorless, Sacrifice Yavimaya Elder: Draw a card. Market Price: $0.41
Hey great suggestions!
I think desecrated tomb is too slow and underwhelming in this deck, can do much more powerful things. Infestation is a little better, and would definitely work even better around a Zombie build. Yavimaya Elder is great but since he just gets the lands and doesn't actually ramp you, I personally would keep him out of the deck.
What do you think about:
Vanishing - Enchantment Aura - U
UU: Enchanted creature phases out.
Market price $0.25.
A great consideration!
To go along with an idea in this vid, Sidisi, Brood Tyrant and Path of Discovery is a great combo with an amazing focus in a deck, while still able to use Muldrotha in the deck as well.
The quality you have in these videos and brewing is nuts, much deserved spike in subs and popularity. Really curious how effective you could make a Xantcha deck on such a low budget
Thanks! I actually don't have a Xantcha deck planned as of right now, but off the top of my head you could literally just slot her into the Lyzolda deck to replace Lyzolda. Would win in the exact same way and the deck would work the same.
@@TheCommandersQuarters will take a look when I get the chance, rakdos has always been fun for me
Sounds good! Yeah Rakdos is a good time!
Love this deck started working on it this week. A couple of other cards to add siren storm tamer and stitched together
Good considerations!
Another one I came across Hermit Druid
A good reasonable upgrade!
Lots of cards I didn't consider. Thank you.
No problem!
I really hope you bring a Jund Commander deck tech like prossh or something like that
I have a few more episodes lined up, you never know!
Maybe vaevictis?
Definitely a sweet commander! And one that has an effect that is fun to build around!
You should do one on gyrus
Im building a muldrotha deck that’s around $69. It’s got fairly priced lands (especially crowd lands) and it has time stretch in there to annoy my opponents late game. Very excited to play it.
I love it, I would recommend taking a look at adding fleet swallower as well though
Definitely going to put this together and try it out. Thanks for the awesome deck tech!
Your golden pig pick this time around was the first card I put into my own muldrotha build! Such a good card for the deck and not one I see other people use too often. Glad you included it
It’s a great card!
The uncommon Ob Nixilis from War of the Spark is a beast, it throws something in the bin and draws you two cards.
Great episode, I'll likely be purchasing this as a skeleton to upgrade into. That said I did notice your removal package doesn't have much in the way of targeted removal that can deal with black creatures. My own meta means I'll need to change that.
So for those folks like me with a meta more heavy in black mana creatures consider Sinister Concoction and Banewhip Punisher. They both have downsides, the first makes you discard a card and the second doesn't work against +1 counter strategies, but they both will deal with black creatures.
Yep! Definitely a good idea to adjust for your meta!
However a lot of his "removal" is multi-opponents and blanket. So a sac that hits every player once does more workand works around Hexproof which is becoming more and more standard in Precons.
Thank you for this awesome budget deck. I just bought this deck list for $50. Cant wait to try it out on my friends
Awesome deck list dude. Thanks for another amazing video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
eternal witness is a great upgrade, allows you to also recast instant/sorceries. gives you more options for boardwipes/wincons. i also find avenger of zendikar a must in this deck
These deck techs are so good like I wish you could be our fourth player in our pod cause these deck fit the exact criteria we play with
Oh nice and yeah it's a great format to play with!
And you never know! Could play together sometime if you and your friends are at a shop or tournament that I am at as well!
Some of the best mtg content I've seen!
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it!
Just ordered the deck! The price was a little over $25 for me, but I won't go bellow lightly played. Being new to commander I am super happy to have a deck that I can grow into.
Nice! You will have to let me know how it plays for you!
The Commander's Quarters first run through was super fun! I played a game against two of the 2018 decks and another homemade deck. It felt really solid and had very few weak spots. Unless someone exiles the graveyard they can only delay the deck.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Although quite pricy at around 6 dollars, Journey to eternity is a great enchantment that can protect muldrotha and Can be great creature recursion when muldrotha isn’t on the battlefield. You might even risk putting muldrotha in the graveyard to cheat it in later
Absolutely!
loved it so much, i love how you do budget decks for people like me beecause im broke
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tech;. Love Muldrotha. I like your inclusion of Attunement. Going to make that change in mine, too. Another enchantment worth considering would be Oath of Druids.
My first deck from this channel I'm building
Liliana Vess would probably be a fun card to play in this deck
Definitely could be!
Can't wait to see how some of the new surveil cards can fit into this build. Maybe an update video after GRN?!
Surveil is a great mechanic for this deck!
Something really old that you missed was Vanishing. True, it takes up a lot of blue, but a lot of cards in this list already do a fair amount with specific colored mana, so it shouldn't be that bad, especially with the level of ramp. Anyway, since Muldrotha is more or less only useful on our own turn, Vanishing ensures that you get to keep Muldrotha safe from absolutely everything, if you don't mind looking up the rulings on phasing. And best part? A played version of this card is a dime, near mint is a quarter. Hooray for obscurity!
A very obscure card and a great consideration for the deck to keep her alive!
I really like you guys’ deck techs I’m surprised you don’t have more subscribers, so here take mine!
Haha well thank you! Just started a little over a month ago and we are growing at a decent rate right now, so here's hoping it continues!
I just found 2 fantastic lands that are super cheap and provide a lot of protection for muldrotha:
Safe Have - Land - $0.25:
2, Tap: Remove target creature you control from the game. At the beginning of your upkeep, you may sacrifice Safe Haven. If you do, return each card removed from the game with Safe Haven to play under its owner's control.
Endless Sands - Land - $0.19:
Tap: Add C to your mana pool.
2, Tap: Exile target creature you control.
4, Tap: Sacrifice Endless Sands: Return each creature card exiled with Endless Sands to the battlefield under its owner's control.
Great tech! Thanks Mitch!
Thank you for the support!
Although not necessarily cheap, Seedborn Muse/Prophet of Kruphix and Vedalken Orrery make excellent upgrades. With Orrery out, you can play more cards of each permanent type per turn cycle, but when combined with Muse/Prophet, EVERY turn is your turn. If you manage to combine this with Mindslaver, you can quickly outnumber everybody. Controlling every one else and just forcing them to kill each other at record speeds.
Most definitely! Only thing with these suggestions - Prophet of Kruphix is currently illegal in commander.
Oof. I didn't get the memo. XD
I may be missing something, but Muldrotha only lets you play out of the graveyard on your turns.
@@SirSparrowify
Huh. My mistake. Thank you, I doubt I would have caught that.
I really enjoy your videos. Could you add a goldfish play through at the end to see how it plays? Keep up the good work!
I am actually talking with a videographer right now, so that I can do some actual gameplay videos in the future, so stay tuned!
How does this channel have so little subs? Anyway love the channel,ur the only channel doing a good job of this budget stuff
The channel just started up about a month ago, but we are growing quick! And glad you are enjoying the channel!
I’ve been looking into building some cool decks and this one is really interesting for a budget deck, I’d love to see your version of a Trostani deck or Sek’kuar
Glad you enjoyed it! Already have the next few deck techs scheduled but you never know!
This is a great deck. Imma buy it right now!
Awesome! Glad you like it!
After the release of Guilds of Ravnica I think vraska, golgari queen and izoni, thousand-eyed make great additions to the deck. Vraska is a bit on the expensive side but izoni is only a dollar give or take. Implement of Examination makes a good reoccurring card draw card as well.
All great considerations!
You could also use Blooming Marsh as a land for black and green. I don't know what this price is, but it's a fun card for early game
Definitely a reasonable upgrade at $4.49!
Quick question. I know it’s really specific but would you guys be able to make a budget decklist for
Ezuri, Claw of Progress? I really haven’t been able to find one that I wanna build. I want to build him but I don’t know what direction to take him in. If you can’t I completely understand.
He's an interesting one! As of right now I already have the next deck techs scheduled, but you never know!
Well thanks anyway.
Do an unblockable creatures tribal deck. Then there are cheap cards like animation module to help with the experience counters
Definitely a possibility!
Ben Fjerstad just put Herald of secret streams in.
Love this deck as an alternative for my Muldrotha deck (worth thousands of dollars) for playing in lower power play groups because sometimes a turn 3/4 Infinite combo win is a bit much
I stuck siren stormtamer and ochran assassin in this deck. Pure profit.
Nice!
You've Just Earned a new Sub!!! Awesome Work!!!
Thank you for your support!
Hey I pulled a foil muldrotha and I'll look into building a commander deck like this.
This channel is amazing... how many people are working on it? Editing quality is really great and it looks like soooo much work... I hope (and think) this channel will skyrocket in subs/views good luck :D hope you see this easiest sub in a while
Oh nice!
Thank you! Actually, I am the only one working on it ;)
It is a ton of work, but well worth it! Thank you for your support!
I found your channel yesterday but damn I really like it
Glad you are enjoying it!
Is fantastic see how you use so many cards unpopular cards
They need some love too! haha
Nice, I have a Mimeoplasm deck and really want to switch between him and Muldrotha
Mimeoplasm is pretty sweet as well! Sultai just has access to some good commanders in general
@@TheCommandersQuarters you actually give us great suggestions, I definitely going to play dreamborne muse and Mirror Mad Phamtasm
Yeah they are both really great cards when you want to mill yourself quickly!
I've been talking to a couple people I play EDH with about wanting to build a Muldrotha deck, as it is GY recursion, which is something I've never tried before. I haven't played a ton of decks since I started back into MTG, playing EDH (Only format I play). Also, I work swing shift, so I have to play on MTGO or don't play at all.. So I predict cards will be even cheaper :) .. Looking forward to building this deck!
(Warning: I am really bad a deck building, so I try to outsource that stuff whenever I can. Keep that in mind when reading below, as I very well could be wrong.)
I can think of 3 good cards I will want to put in the deck that isn't in the tech (2 arn't in the tech, as they arn't permanents and are out of the budget range, 3rd is just a little out of the price range). Cyclonic Rift (for obvious reasons), Rite of Replication and Helm of the Host... have Splinterfright on the board? Rite of Replication to make 5 more! 6 Spliterfrights now!! Even if they are only 5/5 at the time, that's still 30 power you can be swinging with, and can get even higher quickly. Or do Rite on a creature one of your opponents have that looks scary! .. (next part is in theory, as I have not done it nor seen it done with Muldrotha yet) Helm of the Host, equip on Muldrotha, and now you can cast multiple of each permanent type each turn! You have 2 Muldrotha's, now you can cast 2 enchantments, 2 creatures, etc., on each of your turns. Plus, it's another 6/6 to attack or block with. And helps you keep your engine going if someone does targeted removal of Muldrotha (although.. which one will they remove? hehe). Each turn, you keep getting another Muldrotha token, making her engine become even better.
As I said, those 3 cards are out of the budget range for paper decks, but if you already have a lot of decks (that have blue for Cyclonic and Rite), think of the cost of the cards, spread out between all those decks. Cyclonic Rift is as low as $19.99(NM) on Card Kingdom or as low as 0.19 tix for on Card Hoarder(MTGO). Rite of Replication is as low as $6.49(NM) on Card Kingdom or as low as 0.03 tix on Card Hoarder(MTGO). Helm of the Host is as low as $2.79(NM) on Card Kingdom or as low as 0.01 tix on Card Hoarder. So these 3 cards I have in mind, are very much in the budget range for a MTGO deck.
If you only play in paper, $20 for a single card (Cyclonic Rift) might seem like a lot, but if you put it in 3 other decks in blue, then it's like a $5 card for each of those decks. Cyclonic Rift is pretty much an auto-add for any blue deck.
What cards would you take out for the upgrades?
