Please let me know in the comments what you thought of the build, if you agreed with my card choices, what you would recommend instead, and what commanders from March of the Machine you want to see me cover next!
Will do! Its just a 2 person operation at this point (Myself and my editor) and I'm sure we'll get the numbers at some point so long as folks like you continue to enjoy our content!
Yeah, Gilded Goose is quite useful in this deck just to enable our commander that extra bit early, get more artifact tokens in play if we need them, and fixes our mana for any color if we're forced to hardcast our opponents spells - ultimately giving us quite a bit of mileage for a 1 drop.
It’s midnight here, and I’m making a point to listen to this just for your great voice. The MTG content is like having ice cream with a warm gooey brownie…perfection.
Your decks are amazing Grazzet, people love playing against them because they are powerful while using budget and unexpected cards. I will definitely make this deck since I love playing this colors. I would love to see what kind of deck can you do with Drana and Linvala, Hidetsugu and Kairi and/or Omnath, locust of all. Thanks your your great content and have a nice day.
Glad to hear you and your playgroup are enjoying the builds and I hope that this one works well for you when you builds it! And I'll see what I can do about getting some of your requests into the polls before Commander Masters is upon us!
I love this deck, such a unique concept and it's hilarious to see a deck running cards like Lantern of Insight or Expel from Orazca. A lot of people bought the Tinker Time precon and changed it to be led by R&R, but this deck is purpose built for them. I'm certainly tempted to build this deck from scratch, although I have a few other of your decks I'm building at the moment so it will need to wait for now.
Glad you enjoyed it! Personally, I enjoy the opportunity to give some niche or lesser used cards a home and this seemed like the perfect place for a lot of weird, top deck manipulating entries. Personally, I think swapping out Gimbal, Gremlin Prodigy for Rashmi and Ragavan in Tinker Time may not be the best idea - I mean, it will still work, but they need a bit more to get going than Rashmi and Ragava (in my opinion) for I think Gimbal, Gremlin Prodigy should stay as the headliner in that build.
@@GrazzetMTG The content I've seen where they optimise the deck from Rashmi and Ragavan do include a lot of the cards you have here, but they feel like less of an "upgrade" and more of a "phase 1" to transition the deck into a proper Rashmi and Ragavan deck. Something your build here skips by building the deck from the ground up. Anyway, I've ranted enough about that, I do appreciate that your precon upgrades are focused on the face commander (even if there are more "optimal" choices like the Necron precon and its alternate commander Imotekh) and you then can give an alt commander a deck for themselves to shine.
Really like this deck! Definitely think you optimized the commander's potential! What do you think about possibly adding Bootleggers Stash as well as Rain of Riches to take advantage of the treasure you'll be making?
And interesting suggestion to be sure - I can see it as a top end that can get us even more spells into play for free (this time from our deck) but the issue is that the card it casts is random and we have no real way to take advantage of the self mill it provides in this build. The soft protection is a nice bonus though, so I suppose I would say run it by preference and see how it goes.
The way you have built the deck is much similar to how i run my haldan and pako. Temporal spring is a sorcery speed card that puts a permanent on top of an opponent's library so if you can cast it at flash speed before your turn you can set up something to get taken by rashmi
Temporal Spring, and by extension other sorcery speed topdeck setup, would be decent inclusions if we had more ways to flash them out, but on this budget sadly that wasn't going to happen. Still, if we're running cards like Alchemist's Refuge, Vedalken Orrery, etc, these could be solid inclusions.
@@GrazzetMTG am i right in assuming you are also including cards that say you "may cast sorcery spells as though they had flash" such as hypersonic dragon in your statement and not simply all your things have flash that leyline of anticipation gives?
Hey Grazzet, what would you say your favorite budget builds have been and why? Curious about what you like about cooking these builds up. Can't wait to see what's next!
Below are the upgrades and sidegrades and I'll see what I can do about adding them to future video's in a pinned commander (like I do for the precon upgrades) or in the discription! ------------------------ Sidegrades ------------------------ Tamiyo's Journal >>> Teferi, Timeless Voyager Blasphemous Act >>> Double Major Etali, Primal Conqueror >>> Cyberdrive Awakener ------------------------ Upgrades ------------------------ Ethereal Investigator >>> Spark Double Access Denied >>> Goldspan Dragon Cutthroat Negotiator >>> Urza, Lord High Artificer Lonis, Cryptozoologist >>> Dockside Extortionist Game Preserve >>> Field of Dreams
I likely will, since I want to tinker with these precons anyway - but depending on how much they are selling for, they might not necessarily be budget - so we'll just have to see.
Mmmm... monke. Master Oogway's wisdom aside, amazing deck as always! Gotta say, compared to all the other Steal Spells From Enemy Deck Tops Decks, which I now name SSFEDT decks for simplicity, this one's flavour is unusually spicy. Big fan, even if I am biased againt The Monkey That Stole Modern. Also HOLY SHIT, ARE THEY FINALLY REPRINTING DOCKSIDE?! Also it looks like Ayara won the previous poll... well that's a bummer, speaking as a Heliod fan. Anyways, my vote now goes for the Azorius FlashFlying duo, since the gimmick condition is very funky yet very Azorius. Day 640 of waiting for the face reveal... what happened with the giveaway, BTW? Did you and the winner make contact and so on?
That it does - we have anice mix of creature and non-creature spells in the build, plus the free spell we hit off our opponents, so it ends up being pretty reliable in this build!
If you're running the new Etali, it feels like running Displacer Kitten to try to play everyone's decks seems strong..you know if it wasn't 10 dollars :D
Maybe, but we don't have THAT many flicker targets, so it may not work too well alongside our commander. Any yeah, its 10 bucks - so a bit too pricey as well.
@@GrazzetMTG oh for sure. It's more a cute trick than viable. Thanks for another awesome build. I've started working on it when my son will let me lol.
Please let me know in the comments what you thought of the build, if you agreed with my card choices, what you would recommend instead, and what commanders from March of the Machine you want to see me cover next!
This channel does not get enough traction. I do not know how many people work on it, but keep up the great work!!!
Will do! Its just a 2 person operation at this point (Myself and my editor) and I'm sure we'll get the numbers at some point so long as folks like you continue to enjoy our content!
the inclusion of gilded goose instead of any other 1 mana dorks is neat, I respect that.
Yeah, Gilded Goose is quite useful in this deck just to enable our commander that extra bit early, get more artifact tokens in play if we need them, and fixes our mana for any color if we're forced to hardcast our opponents spells - ultimately giving us quite a bit of mileage for a 1 drop.

Thank you for the kind words and happy to hear you enjoy it!
Was thinking about going with this commander instead and this really helps. Thanks for the build and when i get paid I’ll be getting you a coffee ☕️
Glad to hear that this build helped you out and thanks for the future donation!
This is so strong when it works I love it

Seems like a spicy deck, power level seems pretty good too!
Glad to hear you like it!
Another awesome deck! I played a different build of this and it was fun, but I want to try with some of your suggestions. You're cool!
Glad you enjoyed the build and happy to hear that I am still with it (do the kids stay say with it?)!

oh - new deck drop! Prob hit that in the morning over breakfast :)
Hope you enjoy it!
Another wonderful build!
I love the idea of Wondrous Crucible. Guarantees we cast a spell each turn. And protects our permanents with Ward 2.
And interesting suggestion to be sure - I can see it as a top end that can get us even more spells into play for free (this time from our deck) but the issue is that the card it casts is random and we have no real way to take advantage of the self mill it provides in this build.

@@GrazzetMTG Fair, i used run it in Arcum Dagsson myself for fun. but i have recently cut it for efficiency.
I think I'll try it in megatron. The cost isn't as restrictive there

This is possibly the first deck that doesn't use Hinder to bottom the target spell.
Hey Grazzet, what would you say your favorite budget builds have been and why? Curious about what you like about cooking these builds up. Can't wait to see what's next!
Between this deck and your Gimbal deck, which have you enjoyed playing most? I am torn between which to build
One of my fav mtg content creators! Awesome tech!
Thanks for the support and happy to hear you liked the build!
Thanks Graz 👍
No problem!
Made comment about lanter sees lantern i appreciate you for putting the best artifact for the job in the deck
To be fair, it is a auto include in this build, but I'll still accept your appreciation!
ask and you shall receive!
Hope it was worth the wait!
Any possibility you could put the side/upgrades In thr comments or description? Thanks.
Below are the upgrades and sidegrades and I'll see what I can do about adding them to future video's in a pinned commander (like I do for the precon upgrades) or in the discription!
------------------------
Sidegrades
------------------------
Tamiyo's Journal >>> Teferi, Timeless Voyager
Blasphemous Act >>> Double Major
Etali, Primal Conqueror >>> Cyberdrive Awakener
------------------------
Upgrades
------------------------
Ethereal Investigator >>> Spark Double
Access Denied >>> Goldspan Dragon
Cutthroat Negotiator >>> Urza, Lord High Artificer
Lonis, Cryptozoologist >>> Dockside Extortionist
Game Preserve >>> Field of Dreams
oh yes i hoped you were doing this next
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@GrazzetMTG Ended up proxying the deck with a couple changes and the 3rd Ragavan I opened and decided would fit the theme.
Will you be doing upgrades for Commander Masters when we get the lists before release? Would be great to consider which I wanna get ahead of time haha
I likely will, since I want to tinker with these precons anyway - but depending on how much they are selling for, they might not necessarily be budget - so we'll just have to see.
Thats not Shalai and Hallar, nooooooooooooooooooo........but nice deck tech :D. well done as always.
Glad you enjoyed it and hey, Shalai and Hallar could appear again in the future, so don't lose hope!

Day 640 of waiting for the face reveal... what happened with the giveaway, BTW? Did you and the winner make contact and so on?
This deck has Fae Offering? I've trying to find a deck for that one for ages!
That it does - we have anice mix of creature and non-creature spells in the build, plus the free spell we hit off our opponents, so it ends up being pretty reliable in this build!
i never thought i see the day when an elf returns to monkey LOLZ
wait its ragavan that's the monkey woops xD
Whose to say? - the typing it Elf Monkey, so anything goes!
@@GrazzetMTG we must return to monkey magic the gathering 🍌 🐒🐵
I was wanting to build this deck until I realized it only hit one opponent's library at a time.
Yeah, I made the same mistake when I first saw it - WotC worded their ability quite strangely on this card and its been confusing quite a few folks.
