You always make nice decks! Keep it up! My strongest deck is probably mono-green big stuff, with Goreclaw at the helm. It escalates to huge proportions quite fast.
My strongest deck is probably my Derevi, Empyrial Tactician. It's not stax, it uses token producers that tap to make tokens to snowball out of controll with Derevi's untap trigger. These triggers aim at a mana source like Bloom Tender to make big mana and tutor out Elesh Norn Grand Cenobite and cast Natural Affinity to turn all lands into 2/2s for a one sided land wipe.
Hi from France :D My strongest deck was Meren of clan neltoth, endless value Again and again, no fast mana, no tutor, and no freecast card like deadly rollick and flares we build all our deck this way
Could you be so kind and elaborate how to loop that opt combo explained at 2:03? I would love to build the deck to, but can't seem to understand some of the lines it can take. How can you do that 70 times with just two copy effects? Cheers :)
Ok, so you need 2 copy spells (Fork, Expansion/Explosion, etc) in hand and an instant or sorcery on the stack. You cast the first copy spell, targeting the Opt (or whatever). Holding priority, you cast the second copy spell, targeting the first copy spell. So, as an example, cast Opt, then cast Fork targeting the Opt, then cast Expansion, targeting the Fork. The Expansion creates a copy of Fork. The new copy of fork targets the copy of Expansion. The new copy of Expansion targets the copy of Fork. So the copy copies the copy, which copies the copy, which copies the copy. You can't do this with 1 copy spell (unless you have a Swarm Intelligence or Thousand-Year Storm on board). Now, all this does is create an infinite loop of copy effects. It does NOT create an infinite loop of Opts. Eventually, all the copies will resolve and you'll be left with 3 copies of Opt. BUT. Ral, Storm Conduit or any Magecraft triggers don't care about spells, they care about copies. So Storm-Kiln Artist will create an infinite number of treasures. Archmage Emeritus will draw your entire deck. And Professor Onyx will kill the table. Hope that helps!
For my decks, unless I'm running landfall, having more than 34 lands never works out for me. I either get too many or none at all. I can generally start with 2 or 3 if I lessen the amount of lands. That gives me a few extra slots to work with.
Going to build this as my budget option. And it’s Grixis, so bonus! I’ll slowly update it over time. Real quick though, how well do you think Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God would fit into the deck?
Just as card advantage? He's fine. But there are cheaper ways to get 1 extra card per turn. We're also not running a ton of other Planeswalkers in the deck, so his static ability isn't that good.
My stronget deck though is certainly my Lord of the nazgul's deck. Luckily i didnt use any of the banned cards. very fun deck though, a weird mix of control and wide board state though nazguls
I build it as a spell slinger deck of that. It runs over the table really fast. Mix of control and 1 mana spells. Especially if you could dark ritual it out. And hold up a few spells.
@@jamespowelljr4636 oh yeah trust me I've got lots of low level cards but I tried to keep it LOTR themed so I've got some funny things like battle mace and morgul knife
Hey! I made Kess because of one of your past videos, so it’ll be cool to see this video now. I’m definitely salty that, if they’re sticking with the logic they used for the bans, then several other cards need the hit as well. Imo either those cards (looking at like sol ring in particular) should also be banned, or we just ignore the list. Let me clarify just for anyone who may want to take this in a different direction. I don’t personally care for the value drop. It sucks, but I don’t see this game as an investment since I come from Yu-Gi-Oh lol. I just despise hypocrisy in bannings because it just means it’s at the whim of the random people to decide which cards are now useless based on feelings alone.
@@the27thunwanted29 I mean, I'd agree to an extent. But they're not banning a card they've put into practically every precon every single release of a new set. Don't forget sol ring is literally the card you think of when it comes to commander... it's apart of its identity. Also, in my opinion, those cards were a lot more powerful and explosive than sol ring. Keep in mind that 2 of those cards were ZERO mana. That means you could play a sol ring, jeweled lotus, and mana crypt on turn 1. I think just being able to do the sol ring out of those 3 is definitely a lot less explosive...
The main thing is probably that of they ban Sol-Ring now every. single. Precon. is illegal. The most casual of casual EDH tables, the "precon only", would be considered too powerful. Newbies to the game could not just buy a discounted precon and play anymore, etc... Banning some strong cards does not kill a game, alienating new players does.
I've been searching for a good Kess deck for so long.

My strongest is probably my Tergrid deck. I tuned it all the way up, and it only ever comes out when someone's in need of a paddlin'
I just brewed up a cool nightmare horror deck but i'll certainly be trying this out soon

@@commanderbydaenenthanks a lot. My friends will hate me 🙈
Would love the non budget version too!!

My strongest deck is either my Missy deck or my Pantlaza deck. Both are unaffected by the ban list.

Ah, Kess, my izzet-but-mean girlie
Vadrik, astral archmage. Definitely my strongest. Could be stronger but not sure how lol

Sol Ring will never be banned.
@@chadm1602 it definitely should be based on their reasons for banning mana crypt and jeweled lotus

Fantastic!🎉
im happy about the ban, i play in store now :)

Lol they will never unbanned, said I the official
