you can check out my new series "Building Janky Commander Decks" where i tackle some of these ideas: th-cam.com/video/7EciSsOcNNM/w-d-xo.html
I built Boros Vampires, it was called the Spanish Inquisition, because no one expected it
Who pilots it?
@@DudiTheGreat thats honestly the best part. It doesnt matter, you could put like half the boros legends as commanders and nothing would change. I settled on Iroas cause you are attacking alot, but it really personal preference.
Xanathar booby trap deck, basically an blue artifact recursion with lantern control. Plus booby trap is kinda a flavour win for Xanathar
A fun deck idea that I've build is Zedruu The War Profiteer. It's a deck full of big scary things like The Locust God, Blightsteel Collosus, Narset Enlightened Master, etc. And you let the other players bid for them. The way I do it is they have to promise a number of upkeeps I get before they are allowed to target or attack me. It's really fun see people bid for cards they don't need but don't want the other players having. I had one guy bid 2 million upkeeps just so the Voltron deck didn't get a sword of fire and ice. And the way you win is you have all these big scary cards that are actually strong, you hit land drops almost every turn since Zedruu draws so many cards, plus you end up with a number of turn where you are free to set up a crazy board.
I have a Golos War Profiteer deck with a bunch of Vow enchantments and illicit auction. I absolutely love this deck, it’s so much fun making deals with the other players!
Now just add a homeward path and watch each player's jaw drop as you suddenly get your blightsteel colossus and eldrazi back.
I love this idea.
Ooooo. As someone playing a Blim deck, this sounds *hilarious*. gotta make this myself.
Uggggh now I need a new Arms Dealer Commander now that Golos is out.
My deck idea: Ramos dragon engine whose goal is to activate door to nothingness three times in a turn.
In my play group there was someone who managed to achieve something akin to this; Ramos as the commander and Door as a win con. A card that made a huge contribution to the deck was Archelos, Lagoon Mystic to make sure Door could enter untapped for fast activation. The deck ended up being so good that it was eventually taken apart since we focus more on casual play.
I tried this with kenrith. Never got 3 but it's a fun challenge
i got 2 activations in my jodah build once but never 3
Ramos ramp!
Grozoth and Quest for Ula's Temple. pair really well together. Ula let's you cheat grozoth into play, grozoth fills your hand with a bunch of krakens and stuff, then you can put one into play at the end of EACH turn, not only yours, with Ula.
except there are only about 4 other leviathans with mana value 9 printed. And aside from inkwell leviathan they're not that good. I had the same idea and thought, cool flavor. but unfortunally not enough cards for it to make that work
All-star of the Grozoth/Pyromancy deck is Zirda. Using 1 mana to ping for 9, or 54 with Fiery Emancipation and Dictate of the Twin Gods on the field feels amazing.
Bringing back the intro music, nice. I actually tried making an off color goblins deck and an off color zombie deck.
Stuff like this is fun honestly, I made a non-green lands deck and it's one of my favourite decks to play
how is this comment 2 weeks old but the video is only 1 what

This was such a fun video. I was scratching my head recently trying to dig for a new interesting build. Got a ton of ideas here! These are my favorite types of Commander videos on TH-cam, so thanks so much.
I spent most of the evening after watching this last night making a deck around Booty Trap with Brudiclad as commander. The goal is to use clone & animate effects to make as many Booby Traps as possible and while utilizing bounce to top of library and look at top of library effects to maximize the BOOM. I think it needs more draw and some tweaking but I feel like it's off to a good start.
update: was brewing this idea with a friend and apparently since the Brudiclad 'tokens become a copy of target artifact effect' doesn't involve an ETB you don't get to name a card, making those copies uesless. I've restarted my brew going with Orvar as a commander and I think I've worked out a deck that can do infinit Booby Traps and exile opponents libraries based on which combo I draw into first.
Your ideas really made me think! If you want to build this ideas, maybe this will help:
1- Grozoth works well with Braids commander. He will fill your hand and braids put the permanents on the battlefield. Kind of a show and tell effect;
2- Linessa: love the idea of this commander. Maybe "mimic vat" or Sakashima her, put on your hand and discard it. Maybe "mirror gallery" on the table, clone and one discard for multiple effects. This can be so easier if mtg had a spy kit effect for card in your hand...
It was me who had the no.6 inspiration deck I've since taken my mono green control deck apart and taken the pieces to make a gruul stax/control deck, mainly inspired by a lot of the mono red stax enchantments in your ten cards videos (smoke, mudslide etc)! It's not quite in it's most tuned form yet but it's been really interesting to build.
The exile theme is also already a part of my "Oona queen of fea " the search and exile is nice in combination with "oblivion sower" exile their lands then get all of them on your board, super nice 👌
that sounds tilting as fuck :D
For Grozoth: Green myojin of life's web is one of the best cards to have on the battlefield if you cast Grozoth; just remove the counter and play all your big 9 drops :D
I built a Grozoth deck because I show that Myojun exists. Just have Sacellum Godspeaker on the field when you get Grozoth out, guaranteed mana to cast Myojin then you flood the board with every single 9 cost creature in your deck.
Built the Grozoth deck, played Grozoth getting 23 nine drops, pyromancy got exiled with Myojin on the battlefield. Removed the counter from Myojin and it felt real good.
@Jamie what would you use to cheat omniscience onto the field? Or would you have to have the 9 Mana to cast it?
@Jamie omniscience is 10 cmc not 9, so tou cant get it with grozoth :c
Challenge for you: if you make a Noggle Tribal deck, I'll buy the entire deck list right now. Been a dream of someone very close to me for a while now, but I just don't think there are enough or a shared theme to build around there 😔
Also, love the video. Been watching you climbing for a while now. Keep up the great work in these trying and confusing times. We appreciate you more than a subscriber count can show. 👍
Technically you can if you put in a lot of changlings as they are all creature types
@Jamie yep. Looking for that return to Lorwyn nobody wants.
Well done on 20k subs it's a huge achievement! Great to see this channel grow keep up the great content.
I took it upon myself to try and build that Linessa deck around Grandeur, and I found that it was possible to activate many times per turn but it takes 11 mana per loop, so you gotta have a lot of that lol! The combo I found was to play Linessa, clone her, sac the original, play both The Underworld Cookbook and a Cogwork Assembler, make a token of the cookbook, and use that to get Linessa back in your hand!
Now you can do that again, assuming you have another 11 mana to spend. This combo also works with infinite mana, to bounce everything but that isnt as fun. If you just wanna do it once on every turn, Prototype Portal with an Underworld cookbook on it, an unwinding clock and some mana rocks amounts to a fresh set of bounces every untap step
I really hope you end up looking into this deck as well, it was tons of fun to find the ways to actually get Grandeur off :P
PS. Codex shredder also works instead of cookbook, but its 1 mana more per loop.
Similar thought, IsoRev works for infinite mana and my thought was using the two clones that aren't legenary (Spark Double and Sakashima) so you don't have to sac so you only have to have infinite self bounce. Honestly think the deck can be strongish. Running things like entropic portal of vedlkan mastermind. to self bounce and using spark double and sakashima as clones of Linessa. With stuff like Vedlkan mastermind you can even run some stasis locks as well. And the nice thing is IsoRev also just gives you infinite EtB and bounce all opponent's creatures even if you don't have any other part of the combo going with just Linessa. Might even be able run some tap untap synergy in the deck so Dramatic Rev isn't a dead card without the combo and with blue shuffle / spell recursion you can still get it back to combo later into the game. I think you can make this a sneaky good deck that on the face doesn't look scary at all and would be neat for people to see. Maybe running some kind of command beacon, crucible of worlds, entropic portal loops for like a 5 mana and your land drop as a way of looping once per turn. Although that seems sketchy. Can run things like Spellseeker, Snapcaster, or even Gilded Drake if you wanted to get nasty with your commander.
I think the color for grandeur theme is the green. His effects allows him to take him from the graveyard into your hand with Paleoloth. And if you want to copy it, just use an artifact like mirage mirror to copy Baru. Then discard Baru, create a wurm. Paleoloth allows us to recover Baru from our graveyard in our hand and discard him again and again.
The solution for grandeur theme deck is Mirage mirror and a way to take back your Grandeur from your Graveyard to your hand.
It's pretty easy for Korlash
Oriss, Lynessa and Tarox are the challenging ones for this
The phasing deck really has me intrigued!
Grozoth needs black or possibly green to to work I think for the ability to tutor himself. And likely recursion will be a good pairing
Extract is a great library exile card at just 1 blue mana. With something like infinite Reiterate or maybe a high storm count with thousand year storm it can be a win con. I think Kess is a fantastic commander for that deck.
I have a deck where all non-land cards are artifacts. Another without creatures. Mulling over an enchantment only deck too.
Literally just put together a Barren Glory deck 2 weeks ago. It's an Atogatog deck, using effects like Enchanted Evening and Mycosynth Lattice to make all Permanents 1 type to make them easier to sacrifice. Greater Gargodon is the MVP in that deck for anyone wanting to try out the strategy, have not won with it yet though.
In casual I once had a kobold deck (back before the D&D sets actually added new kobolds). It wasn’t actually able to win games, but the look on the other players face when I played four zero mana creatures on turn one was priceless.
I have a barren glory deck, I've win maybe a total of 3 times but dear god was it glorious when I do.
The main way is Oblivion ring exiling barrenglory, then apocalypse the board, which means when apocalypse resolves, barren glory would comback to the board being the only card on board.
More expensive but you could also cast decree of annihilation with barren glory being your only enchantment.
Use Kaervek’s Spite and Oblivion Ring
@@wikidclowne6891 nice suggestion, how ever I am in jeskai so I can run counters so I can actually protect casting apocalypse
Shutting off Teferis Protection by removing the untapped phase is also lore friendly. Teferi phased out the city of Zalfir, shown in the art. But was unable to phase it back in.
You should have way more than 20k subs with your amazing content. Keep up the good job mate
Bitter Ordeal sounds like a great payoff for the gravecrawler/altar loop I have in one of my decks 😁 Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the tribal ideas. I want to build non-blue faeries, but my deckbuilding skills maybe aren't up to it. I think it would have to be black-green with a bunch of tribal artifacts. The crab tribal idea is inspired!
Barren Glory slots right into my Atogatog deck, it has popped off once but that's all I need
An interesting adaptation to number 7 would be searching players libraries to exile lands specifically, then playing cards like Consuming Aberration or Balustrade Spy to mill their whole deck in one shot
I was already building crab tribal and it was so cool to see the scuttletide mention, a card I've been wanting a long time
Barren Glory seems like a combo card to me. Like, resolve Barren Glory, Oblivion Ring it, then cast Kaervek’s Spite on the end step before your turn begins.
does barren glory still win if everything is phased out?
Spy Kit + Magnetic Theft + Eradicate/Legion's End. Exiles all creatures from an opponent's hand, gy, and library.
You can do it with non-permanent creature steal as well (claim the firstborn, etc) but then it takes 2 turns.
This can be real fun in a Blim, comedic genius deck. It's on theme already.
But legions end doesnt work like eradicate because it interacts just with the hand and gy.
You can do the "same" if you use men lands and Sowing Salt, tho.
Congrats on 20k subs! You deserve it. The channel is great!
I'm very intrigued by the idea of exiling my opponents library, as well as the idea of an esper burn deck, lol.
While infinite combo isn't the most unusual win con, I've got a Sydri infinite combo control deck I'm finishing up where all the combos incorporate turning a non-creature artifact into a creature.
Like summoning station and intruder alarm, or any 3+ mana rock and voltaic construct.
That Sands of Time interaction is brutal. Just hearing skip your untap step felt like a gut punch
I used to use the Grozoth explicitly for its transmute back when it and Dragonstorm were in standard. It was such a good tutor for that wincon :)
This is so hilarious! Love it! The booby trap/magister/closet setup is fascinating, really i love all these challenges and made a challenge deck as well- a codie, vociferous codex deck with every archive spell from strixhaven, i have this deck built but its missing something, im not sure what but following with codies rule- no permanent spells in the deck at least. Oh- there is i think 84 archive spells so that leaves almost no room for land although i have considered the mdfc lands from zendikar. It it beautiful btw:)
For exiling the library, Im so glad you mentioned Supreme Inquisitor as it is one of my favorite win-cons for my Kaho, Minamo Historian deck. It runs a critical mass of wizards as well as Kaho to find Dramatic Reversal and the like to untap my board with Supreme Inquisitor to exile my opponent's libraries.
Its definitely on that comes out of nowhere.
I remember your painter servant deck that you made once. You could declare black and use an enchantment called Life force where you pay 2 green to counter a black spell
Congratulations my man!
I love janky fun deck ideas like this
My favorite commander deck is a janky Progenitus voltron combo deck
I get zetalpa in the graveyard with tutors
I play progenitus and play Kathril
Since Kathril doesn’t specify target their ability goes through protection, so then my progenitus gains double strike, vigilance, flying, trample, and most importantly, indestructible.
I’ve only ever gotten it off twice but it feels amazing
Congrats on 20K! I watched like 8 of your videos before realizing that i had to subscribe.
Happy 20k, brother!
Congrats on 20k making some of the best EDH content rn
I just gave my mate the challenge of a mono Red life gain deck using Toralf and lifelink. He's allowed to play aetherflux reservoir, BUT he can only use it on creatures.
I was once trying to brew a voltron assemble tribal deck using party Tazri. She gives access to all colors and has the ability to search for cards, also the party mechanic in-itself is a type of assemble so you can include that along with the theme.
ALTERNATE WIN CON! Im making a hedron alignment deck now thank you for helping me remember about that card!
Congrats on the subs!
I had a mono-green Warrior tribal deck with Sosuke, Son of Seshiro deck for a while that was a lot of fun
Best intro music on TH-cam rn, well earned sub count!!
I'm happy that my ideia of grandeur made into the video. I have a korlash deck, pretty cool hahaha i use self mill + clone effects (mirage mirror) and others, for the win conditions i use the blackblade reforge for a big hit, or some landfall swamps effects sinergies. And yes, i'have managed to win a game, one time at least :D
Uhhh, so many cool ideas! #6 is one I have! It's SO COOL!
This video has so many great ideas that I'm sure Wizards going to make a Commander that makes one of these really playable at some point.
Built a Grandeur deck based from this video I'm excited to play it haha
I love my selesnya burn deck its so fun to pilot highly recommended the off colour theme thing.
For the off-color theme, i have a mono-red Superfriends deck helmed by Jaya Ballard, and theres a LOT of red "control" cards that require discarding, so to generate that card advantage i use Phoenixes that return to my hand from the GY.
I've got a Snakes and Thopters deck I really love. The whole idea is just making thopter and snake tokens and having them pilot my Kaladesh airships. It's pretty silly, and a lot of fun. Generally people are pretty entertained when I pull it out, and I get a lot of good complements about the creativity behind it. I think building goofy and strange decks is healthy for the format for sure.
Just something that I'm running in my Nicol Bolas deck, but can be put in any deck with dimir colors, is Filth paired with Urborg Tomb to give all your creatures swampwalk. I put this in my Bolas deck is so I can garuntee the on hit effect when I get the 2 cards I need.
The reason it works best with dimir colors is most of the surveil cards are blue and/or black.
Keep it up! Love the vids!😁👍🏻
My first commander deck was Riku and I had Biovisionary as a wincon. Copying Biovisionary with Riku's second ability and then also copy my clones.
It made it janky sometimes but sometimes I pulled it off and it felt very satisfying.
I have a few decks that meet your challenge already!
A Moritte of the Frost Sliver deck, which was pretty easy too put together.
More complicated though was my Endrek Sahr Bitter Ordeal deck. It usually takes about 7-8 turns turns to pop off, but once it does, it can make so many thrulls, that are continually sacrificed for mana and card draw, that i have exiled two peoples libraries at once with Bitter Ordeal.
My last is a Zenith Flare cycling deck. Whole point of the deck is too cast zenith flare multiple times to take a player out in one turn. Including the right cards to continually get Zenith Flare from my graveyard, copy it, make sure it gets cast successfully and ensuring my graveyard is protected at all times, is the tricky bit. It is helmed by Gavi.
I play Barren Glory in my Celestial Kirin deck. It's spirit tribal with a bit of a stax theme. The idea is to use Kirin's ability to keep wiping different mana values off the board until you find Ugin's Conjurant which, with Kirin in play, destroys all zero mana value permanents when cast. Float all your mana before doing this, and as long as you have enough mana to cast an effect like Hour of Revelation and pop a Barren Glory off after, you've got the Barren Glory win on your upkeep! Fleeting Spirit is also needed sometimes to discard any extra cards from your hand before you go for it. It's a tough line to pull off but it feels great to accomplish such a silly win!
For the assemble, I have a 5 Color Najeela deck (Cause she needs to carry it and she makes tokens for sacrifice) where I use all the Heralds and the panther for spirit of the night. It’s super jank, but putting more ways to search for creatures helps immensely like Protean Hulk or even defense of the heart. Probably one of my favorite decks to play.
In the old days I had a deck that phased everything out then only allowed itself to phase in. I used sands of time, vision charm , reality ripple, equipoise, Teferi's realm. It even negated the odd tapping effect sands of time imposed with Chimeric idol.... But only for its self. The opponent still suffered. Only creature was Merieke Ri Berit. And she a slick killer with sands of time.
I was just looking at abunch of creatures that return to your hand after combat or when they get blocked and this phasing idea in an Azorious deck combined with those creatures with some sort of haste card could be interesting! I'm gonna work on it!
Congrats!!! I had to check and saw i wasn't subbed.... shame I got you. I watch you every day!
Library of Leng is a must include in a grandeur deck. God I love old school sometimes.
I don't believe that works as you're discarding the card to a cost and therefore it is not affected by library of leng
Ayyyy 20k subs. Nice. You deserve it. You’ve made my decks better with tiny little odd pieces here and there.
I've got an old Surrak slivers deck, and maybe now it could be better with maskwood nexus and newer tribal cards... I'm glad other people try this kind of stuff
I had a lot of fun building a dimir Vecna Copies deck. commander was silas renn and sakashima partners. whole deck was basically artifact tutors and copy spells. objective: assemble vecna, break the legends rule, copy, profit.
I also am building mono-green control. I'm currently using Yosan, the Wanderer Bard as my commander. I like the challenge
Your welcome. Enjoyed your card choices
My current challenge deck is Arahbo 'cat tribal' deck that is filled with changelings. There really weren't many quality white/greens/colorless ones until Khaldheim helped out. Then I toss in other non-cat/tribal/anthem effects to buff the team. Plus, a turn 1 Universal Automaton bashing in on turn 2 for 4 damage is hilarious.
My favorite content creator with the best intro music
Booby trap with B/U with sealed fate and other spells that you look at the top cards of opponents library and put back in any order. I made it 20 plus years ago but not commander. Sill should be doable now.
I love your content my guy! Keep it up!
I put Tree of Perdition + Triskaidekaphobia in my Mimoplasm EDH deck. It's a surprising stalemate ender. And although I'm not purposely build around that combo I'm often searching it out with tutors to win against life gain decks or prison decks.
You gave me a fun idea for modern 😉 thank you
I had a Marcheza deck (Marcheesea) which was built entirely around The Cheese Stands Alone. It was brilliant
Combo with Barren Glory: have Academy Rector in play. Before beginning your turn, cast Kaervek's Spite. Rector fetches Barren Glory, you win on your upkeep.
The other main one is Oblivion Ring the Barren Glory and cast Apocalypse.
@@des-trina Yeah, but that's worse. It's a 3-cards combo, it costs much more mana and people could still counter Apocalypse (Kaervek's Spite does everything as an additional cost).
I was trying to figure out how to effectively abuse booby trap a couple days ago, I also thought copying it, but then I thought, muldrotha for easy recursion, and turn the artifact into a creature and copy it that way.
A silly thing that my blim deck “can do” (but which isn’t its main thing) is assembling what I call “blimTron”. What I do, is play blim. Have him hit someone, and make him donate himself to them, before goading it with a goad aura (assault suit also works, but I don’t have that card yet).
What happens is blim is forced to attack, and his damage trigger of donating a permanent is not optional. A player’s best option is to then donate blim. So he just bounces around among your opponents.
I have a really cool Baren Glory mono white deck. Basically I wanted to go hard way and not include these obliterate red stuff, so my chose was... Kataki. My only wincon is through barren glory, in deck there are tons of artefacts that want to die from Kataki, I mill myself pretty hard too. To win with Bren Glory we need to find either combo with Mycosynth Lattice or some artefact that empty our hand plus claws of gix or renounce and voila. The looks of my friends were priceless ;)
Thinking about tribal, I am working on building a Dwarf Tribal, Mono Red deck. Not common but can't wait to get it done.
My "janky" deck thats been a blast to play is my Kogla king kong theme deck. I also had a super janky maralen of the mornsong deck revolving around neverending torment. Was 93 swamps and the other 7 cards were maralen, neverending torment, dark ritual, ad nauseum, reliquary tower, boseiju and culling the weak
For the [Barren Glory] wincon strategy, you could do it "easily" with a [Dream Devourer] foretelling [Barren Glory] then playing [Kaervek's Spite] (As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice all permanents you control and discard your hand. Target player loses 5 life)
Of course then you'd need to wait for your upkeep or you find a way to play the [Barren Glory] at instant speed before your turn as [Kaervek's Spite] is instant speed.
One of my favorite decks I own is my Mazes End Alt Win Con deck.
It obviously wins on Mazes end mainly, but I love, Door to Nothingness on it.
This is one of my favorite topics for EDH, jank decks usually leads me to the greatest joy I get from deck building. I'm not here to win, I'm here to be on theme. First and foremost, I'm a vorthos player. So I have a Phyrexian deck with esper Ertai at the helm, all cards relate to Phyrexia, primarily original phyrexia. I have a Jund spell slinger deck with Xira leading it, which was made as a challenge and has become one of my favorite decks. I have a lovecraftian themed deck lead by Wrexial (though Gyruda would work too) where all cards relate to Lovecraft lore in some way. I also had an off color tribe deck with boros slivers, with new Gerrard at the helm, built around looping Spiteful Sliver.
next one coming out soon.
I think a way to do two of these challenges at one time is to do the Spirit of the Night "Assemble" Deck with a "Really Weird Tribe" Deck: Nightstalker Tribal. There are 12 nightstalkers in all and 3 of them sac for Spirit. I'm going to give it a try... Have to think of a couple things to make it viable first:
1) What payoff will there be? A Hasty Trampling 6/6 is nice, but not exactly a powerhouse these days and hardly a good plan to win a game.
2) What commander to use that helps in some way get this all done.
Other thoughts I have right off the bat are:
1) maybe this is a good idea for a super budget deck. Every card in the tribe added up costs less than 12 bucks.
2) maybe go for SUPER challenging and make this an OLD SCHOOL deck as well. The newest card in the tribe is Fen Stalker from Prophecy (2000).
All in all VERY interesting deck idea.
While building my Jodah deck I stumbled upon Grozot on a binder in my LGS and got it for like under a dollar and became one of my wincon, getting zacama, plague wind, in garruk's wake, void winower, myojin of life's web, and mnemonic deluge for WUBRG makes me enemy of the table 😅
Funny you say the Slivers. I made a 4c (non-black) and I love it.
That phasing stuff is straight up evil, i love it.
I make weird decks all the time. I love doing things people say cant and dont work. Back in 2013 I built Kiki-Jiki because everyone was saying monored and monowhite was impossible. I built Edgar Markov as a control deck. Jank is just fun
I made a mono blue landfall deck. It’s pretty nasty. Love making bank decks. Drives my playgroup insane when I pull of weird stuff all the time lol
Closest I've come to blue and landfall so far (without green) is my Glacian // Toggo artifacts and landfall Izzet partner deck.
Story time:
Joined a casual game on untap, playing Kenrith (group hug), we discussed no infinite combos, etc.
We had a certain type of player at our table, let's call him P.
So we started the game normally, one of the other players got land flooded
and proceeded to reveal more lands of the top of the library (because he kept drawing lands and wanted to check)
P got annoyed and accused him of cheating because "he's not supposed to do that"
I said "Dude chill, It's a casual game. What is the point of him watching us play while being flooded"
the guy returned lands on top of his deck and we continued.
I draw Worldfire and said "Ohhh I drew something good but I won't play it"
P was making a board presence and was quite sure of himself, talking condescendingly towards the players.
Saying "Can anyone win next turn? Because I can" sounding all proud and invincible.
Now let me set the picture with Dictate of Karametra on board (double mana) and Leyline of Anticipation (my spells have flash).
Not to mention treasure tokens from Smothering Tithe.
On my turn I cast Silence so I can go uninteruppted, P phases his commander out as a response.
I play Near-Death Experience and while that was on stack I add Propaganda and on top of that Worldfire.
Took a second for everyone to read the cards, only for P to ask "you think Worldfire is a casual card?"
I said "Yes, it's a part of my wincon combo", he started fuming, calling us names and saying that we cheated..
Mind you I wouldn't play that combo if he was a decent human being, however he forced my hand.
So my question is, "Is Worldfire toxic if I win on upkeep?"
TLDR:
Guy gets mad for losing and blame others for cheating, while being overly competitive in a casual match
P.S. Barren Glory also works with that combo instead of Near-Death Experience
My brother recently built a Linessa deck that focused on Grandeur and its pretty cool. Uses Ashes of the Fallen and Myr Reservoir to get her back every turn or potentially infinitely
Gnostro with a tap-untap tribal deck. Use jeskai ascendenci and Chackram Retriever for that. Maybe Niv-Mizzet and Curiosity too
This is the most banger intro I have ever heard on YT.
Congrats on 20k!
I have a great working Grozoth deck. I went a different way though, mine puts the creatures in play. I always wanted a grozoth deck that does that so the creatures mattered a lot, and finally they had good enough ones to do it.
One of the ideas I was working on was temporary permanent removal. Using monowhites blink effects but using sundial of the Infinite to skip the end step and do basically mass exile
For the blue black granduer I was going to say new Sakashima and Tevesh szat using a ninjitsu and clone deck. You can use the ninjas as a garunteed bounce and have mirror gallery in the deck and the command zone. I don't know how well it would work but I think that would be closer to a garuntee to trigger granduer
The original build of my Karona chaos decks win con was a combo of: Hive mind, Last Chance, and either Chronatog or Chronatog totem (to eat my extra turn thus keeping me alive). Called it the “Ireland will win but, Krum will get the Snitch”strategy. Unfortunately my local play group has huge hate boners for both chaos and enchantments so I never quite got there.
crab tribal is awesome! it really is fun to play
For Barren Glory, the only thing that comes to mind is pulling off some combo with Bearer of the Heavens, a 10/10 Red Giant with CMC 7 s and a Red whose ability is when he dies, destroy all permanents at the beginning of the next end step. I have no exact idea which other cards to use, but the combo would be making Barren Glory indestructible and then sacrificing or destroying Bearer of the Heavens it’s one of your own cards, preferably the last one in your hand, then watch as the entire board gets wiped except for Barren Glory. This will give you the best chance of winning because you destroyed everything on all of your opponents fields, including their lands, giving them next to no responses because they don’t have any mana left to spend to get rid of Barren Glory
