For showing how Budget does not necessarily define power just pilot a Zada deck when she pops off you are an unstopable force, just be wary, she be a glass cannon that dies to boardwipes so haste's creatures are a must.
In my Voja deck, the most expensive cards are Voja and all will be one (which i pulled) and Cryptolith Rite and everything else is promarily cheap elves. If you want a disgustingly powerful but cheap deck, make Voja Jaws of the Conclave your commander and populate with cheap elves and mana ramp. You can negate needing Cryptolith Rite by just having elves that tap for mana. Throw in something to give haste. The nice thing is it has a lot of room to improve. All Will Be One is very powerful but not necesary to be competitive, and you can replace it with the much cheaper Shalai and Hallar for a similar effect, which also gives you that elf synergy. While All Will Be One lets you target anything on the field, with Voja youre going to try to be smacking in the face as much as possible so Shalai and Hallar will do essentially the same thing. Bonus is you can use both if you decide you like the archtype in the future.
"Breathe new life" is something people are overlooking. If someone plays once or twice a month, i can understand their want to play good decks and run powerful cards. Full stop thats a great point, play what you love. I am blessed to play 3 times a week, and i am tired of seeing it. I understand other people's joy, but the challenge and restrictions that come with budget cards has made me a better player. Overdoing synergy and finding ways out of problems with worse tools makes my game more enjoyable, personally. I like everything that you've put forward in the video, i hope to see you use this platform to release some of your budget deck techs!! Play your passion and good luck with the content!
@@Snipfragueur A lot of people are uncomfortable with the idea of playing with people who play proxies because of the limitless potential of stuff they can run. Youve come to commander night with the fun deck youve made with the cards in your collection at a table with others who've done the same, only to have a guy running a high powered deck full of proxies of cards noone at the table could possibly afford. Vast majority of tables are at least fine with proxying if you either already own a copy of the card or aren't proxying anything too crazy. For the most part the only tables fine with open proxying are CEDH ones.
@@CatManThreesame thing can happen by someone just buying the cards tho? But if some prints a banger deck, I can just... Print one myself? Can't do the same if I have to buy these cards
@@voxvire2350 Most people arent spending 5000 dollars on a deck, let alone over a hundred on true dual land or mana crypt. That asside, theres nothing wrong with proxying. Its just a matter of preference from table to table. One of the best things about commander is its casual nature, and part of that is different tables holding different preferences. Some tables wont like proxying for reasons like this, thats all Im saying.
Breathe. You're reading a little quickly I feel, and you start to trip over your words. Your audio levels had your voice a little low as well, if you're able to adjust that. The script used was well written and helped convey your point very well, but your cadence was rushed. Don't be afraid to slow down or even make cuts in your recording to get a clean and impactful feel to add weight onto your key points. Knowing where to slow and enunciate or bring focus to a word/phrase will help to engage your viewer. Practice reading your script to yourself or to a family member or friend. Recording and listening back to your voice over will allow you to perform retakes of areas you find rushed or not as impactful as you wanted. Recording your voice over in smaller takes can make that easier to do as well. Finally, your video ended so abruptly I was startled. That rushed flow, into a cold stop was incredibly jarring, slow the pace down at the end and maybe mention your other videos! I really enjoyed your video and learned a great deal about how to restructure my current first build. I can see you doing even better in the near future as you learn editing tricks and become more comfortable with your speaking.
Fairly good content within the video, but it sounds like it was one take. If possible I'd recommend doing a few lines at a time and syncing them up that way it flows better. The cadence seemed fine to me but felt like you were a bit nervous and didn't go back and rerecord anything if a mistake was made. Still, a good starting place, subbed
Advice from a content creator myself, and an English teacher who wants to be helpful: If you still have the script and video editing file, please consider recording the audio again with a better microphone or improved settings. Practice your speech and record it in segments to get the best takes. You can do it :) It feels, many times, like you lack confidence in your words. These are your words. Believe in them and yourself. Be bold and assertive.
Gotta say I disagree with cutting Three Visits. It gets you any Forest, not just basics, and into play untapped. It gets you Ravnica Shock Lands, and even if you are hyper budget, just getting a basic forest means it really only cost you 1 net mana this turn to be +1 in ramp for the rest of the game. Still very good.
@mtgkookie - I didn't watch the price history. I got like 12 of them for different decks for my wife and I at like $3 each. I didn't know they rose to $8-$10 and are back "down" to $4-$5. That's because they are good. Now, concerning Nature's Lore, yeah, that's the point. You play both. Budget means different things to different people, but Three Visits is one of those staple cards that I made sure to snag and am glad I did both at the time and now seeing the price go up a bit. I have been playing magic since 2005 with the 9th edition starter and something I learned long ago and applied when I try to help other players: Do not overlook the value of "staples." I would still tell "you" to buy Three Visits and play both in your deck over buying some random hot new creature or synergy card. Three Visits will go into "every" green commander deck you play for the rest of your life, while that other $5 card won't. Most people don't like to "put in the work" for anything in life. Working out, studying, whatever. They want results, and Three Visits is a card that doesn't say you win the game, but it helps you play consistently. Hit your land drops, find your colors, and doees it efficiently. Just loke with sports and playing music and whatever, being consistent is the hidden key to success. Three Visits - and cards like it- wins you more games by keeping you on schedule than, say, Rampant growth which outs you down two mana and only a basic for the same mana cost.
Scripting is fine for a video essay. I just think you’re reading too quickly and it’s causing some stumbling in your speech. Otherwise throughout this video, you’ve just explained how to budget decks but you’ve set an expectation that the standard budget isn’t the right way to budget, which works against the point you started with. Provide us a 500$ deck, with a mix of staple and value cards, and make 2 or 3 decks using budget options to prove your point. I’ll sub to see your progression as a creator

Just print the cards you need lul

easiest way to build a budget deck is to proxie. i mean even wizards sold proxies for the anniversary

Nature’s Lore is so much cheaper and does the same exact thing.
