Shame that in brazil a deck like this (with transporr fees) is like 60U$ higher 😢, stil very nice deck! Probaly gonna start with this one ! ty Prof!
I love the caveat “it’s only $45 (at the time of filming)”. A handful of the powerful dice cards shot up in value after prof posted the Mr House deck video lol
Just won with that deck last night ha ha
So, I started putting Indominus together after putting Mr. House on hold for financial reasons. Oh well, next deck, lol
I brought all of the singles for Aristo-CATS, still mad that I overpaid for some but my LGS is making money off me.
Unfortunately the shipping pretty much doubles any deck you can get. Direct sellers jack up their prices an absurd amount, doubling the cost so if you go normal sellers, you still double it because most prints cheapest options have those sellers that throw .02 cent cards in with $3 shipping or something absurd.
The shipping is what gets me. 50 bucks but 40 in shipping.
I just love this commander as Voltron. Captures the terrifying feel of Indominus breaking out of her paddock in the movie.
Not to mention from how she's fight's the humans she seems to have opposable thumbs so in theory she could even grab the equipment :)
@@Hamond1989 True, one step closer to the soldier-dinos.
"So, she has...indestructible, hexproof, haste, first-strike, deathtouch, lifelink, trample, and +2/+2?"
"Yes and I draw 9 cards."
I can hear the drums already. The drums...
The drums... The beating of the drums.
The heartbeat of a Time Lord...
Don't forget folks: Fiershrieker is a great way to add Double Strike to your commander in this deck.
One of the few ways to get double strike
@92bagder a very AFFORDABLE way to get Double Strike! It was just reprinted in Fallout
The same is true for Darksteel Plate/Mithril Coat, which also fit well into the voltron strategy for the deck if you just wanna play them instead. Though they're definitely not within budget.
I would also use Blackblade Reforged. Since you'll be ramping a bit with green, this is a great budget card for beefing up Indominus based on the amount of mana you control on the field
Brass Knuckles, Fireshrieker, Gavel of the Righteous, and Grappling Hook are all the colorless option to get Double Strike.
I'm such a huge fan of these precons. I've recently developed a 10-deck donation to my local Boys & Girls Club (that has a Magic: The Gathering club!) that cover the 10 2-color guilds, and each deck is between $12-$16, with no card costing more than $0.40 (a restriction of B&G Club due to anti-theft reasons). As it stands, the deck boxes, sleeves, and storage slightly edge out the cost of the cards themselves, haha. Budget building is great and you can still find pretty incredible power when pinching those pennies :). Maybe someday when I have more time and money to spare I'll make a similar donation with the 3-color guilds.
I love what the accessibility of these $45 decks do for the community! Well done.
I absolutely LOVE these ‘build-your-own” episodes! Keep em coming prof!
same I really want a log running series out of this!
@@ModulatedSubnet I could not agree more!
Deck is $95 today, 2 days later after this was posted
I wanna thank you for the videos you put out. I tried getting into magic a long time ago, but fell off because I never found any sense of community there. However, after recently rediscovering your channel and Shuffle Up And Play, the colorful group of people you have on makes me feel like their is a place for people like me and makes me want to get a deck again AND videos like this make it feel financially affordablebto do so AND AND having a Discord with web games makes it seem feasible to find people to play with.
I really loved that "Must go faster" scene reference around 2:40.
This was my first commander so this is a super cool video for me. Thanks Prof.
I keep a stack of these Professor precons near each other because they play really well into each other. Will be fun to add one Dino in there thanks for the best techs Prof!
I love the attention to detail of always calling The Indominus Rex "her"
3:38 "Highest combination possible"
Scavenged Brawler: Am I a joke to you?
This! Plus it can add its counters twice!
Honestly, these are the best types of videos on the channel, creative and budget friendly, love it
8:11 I built a deck as soon as she dropped. I’m always targeted. Even when an opponent has a clear win con, I’m kicked when I’m down lmao. She’s my favorite deck though.
The one thing I would suggest as a minuscule little synergy. With the draw card component being a etb trigger. If Rex either entered the battlefield with counters or you responded to the draw card trigger by giving her counters, you would be able to draw additional cards (I'm thinking primarily +1/+1 counters here since keyword counters are pretty well handled).
Effectivly I would suggest small changes like swapping out [[Tamiyo's Safekeeping]] for [[Gaea's Gift]] (you can effectively cycle Gaea's Gift if you don't think you'll need the protection spell like if you hit both hexproof and indestructible on the discard); you should also consider Opal Palace as a land, as mediocre as it is, because any additional counter should be welcomed, and you commander will probably die a lot anyway.
Those two are the only budget options I could think of off the top of my head, and it's more to illustrate the synergy.
Love the Commander, you can pretty much just add whatever creatures with keywords you want, very fun! I do want to note that except for flavor reasons, Blackblade Reforged is in almost all cases just so much better than Luxior, Giada's Gift. Yes, it will cost you 1 more to cast but will give you way more stats on average and also keeps growing your Commander when it's equipped, which apart from Evolutionary Escalation doesn't really happen with Luxior, Giada's Gift. Not to mention that it's way cheaper, allowing you to upgrade something else in the deck.
Even if I don't end up building the deck, I really appreciate these types of videos that show how you can make a good budget commander deck with a bit of thought and effort. I also think it's great how you emphasise the potential for more expensive upgrade paths as upgrading later can be a great way to split up the costs if budget is really important for you.
I think my favorite part of this is it gives me the same feeling as when I first saw Feather. The idea of taking a bunch of cards that are kitchen table Magic at best and turning them into key components of your strategy.
Glad you do this series. My only wish is you give card kingdom a heads up so they can stock up on a few extra copies of cards so we can order exclusively from them.
Thank you for another one of these! These episodes are amazing!
Welp, guess I'm building a new deck. I have most of these cards already, thanks professor!
I’m so excited! I am building this deck!
Timely video. Pulled I-Rex from a Caverns of Ixalan bundle at Christmas and was just thinking I need to make a deck.
How timely! 4 months ago! 😂
now I feel like I need a Shuffle up and Play of Tolarian Precons
Wtf I just built this commander. Loads of fun btw. But damn I’m glad I got my decklist done before everyone is trying to build it.
Yeah, two people in my pod built it a couple of months ago and oh dear
*has never before seen precon*
*subsequently reveals it’s The Master Above All and thus has a very likely Dr. Who theme*
scavenged brawler is another awesome creature that give 4 keywords in your indomminus and is easily one of the best since it's ability also requires it in the graveyard
A great way to put those counters back on Indominus when reanimated and you didn’t have enough creatire to discard… great addition!
Yeah, it's not even a money card. I just picked up my copy for £1.10. Honestly surprised that one didn't get put in, since the synergy in both giving keyword soup so an insane amount of draw (and vigilance, which I think is a particularly important keyword so you can attack safely), and the ability to pump it up to a 10/10 the turn after is pretty insane. Only thing it misses is a strong protective keyword, but we're running a good number of them, so you "Should" get that as well
Which creature would you cut for brawler? I would say Ramunap Hydra, wdyt?
@@TheHijackx Honestly the hydra is worse than a few options available, notably "karvanista, loyal lupari". Any of the reach cards are on the weaker side, because reach is just worst flying. If you're running a card for keywords and keywords alone, and it has reach and other generic ones, it should be on the chopping block. They need to at least have positive stats/good abilities, so you can consider playing them on curve/reanimating them as well. Hydra is a great choice for a cut.
@@Crawver tyvm for your answer
I’ve been wanting to make this deck on a budget! Thank you!
I cant wait for the next episode of shuffle up and play! I love the byop’s and seeing them in action
love this idea of variant precons, i would love to see some PDH decks at some point too!
Prof always predicting what decks I want to build
I just recently got into MTG. My friends all play and I've built a commander deck (Tovolar) and I'm loving my werewolves. This seems like the kind of thing I would play just to mess with them. After one practice game and one real game my friends said it was scary how fast I learned the game. The idea of dropping this deck on the table next time we play commander and then not realizing what I'm on until it's too late fills me with warm tingly feelings. Evil warm tingly feelings.
I built this deck and several playgroups hated it myself included. There is already enough going on in a four player free for all. People don't want to re-evaluate 15 key words that may or may not be physically on someone's cards every combat
I love Jurassic Park, it's one of my favorite books by my favorite author. I was ecstatic when they announced a colab. Great to see you do a Jurassic Park Precon. Also let's see that Behind the Campus video too huh?
Scavenged Brawler is easily one of the best cards for this commander. I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned. Either way, great video Prof!
Im super excited the this next SUAP. These precons are so cool and the three ladies always bring amazing and interesting decks.
OMG ANOTHER 45$ COMMANDER VID? LETS GOOOO
Thank goodness I built this deck before this video. Also haste is a must. More haste is better. Don’t underestimate haste.
The creatures alone now are $50+ for this decklist.
Nice, I was just looking to make a sultai deck. I have to say, my friends and I have all made a prof deck, and they all work really well, even at stronger tables.
I really like this one. I may get this to fill the sultai hole in my heart
I just want you to know that i don't even play MTG but i enjoy the work y'all do on this channel so i always drop by and watch between Flesh and Blood vids, deck box reviews, sleeve reviews, etc.
I LOVE these types of Commanders. Kathril, Aspect Warper was my first Commander and I'm getting the itch to build it again.
I feel like this deck wants a side of Reanimation, or Phyrexian reclamation
Huge fan if this and it works as a precon i bought this list and slightest upgraded it with cards i had in my own collection and gave it to a friend who is brand new to commander he absolutely loves the deck
I love the concept of Build Your Own Precon, in much the same way that I loved constructing my set of 4-5 Artisan Commander deck (no rares or mythics; doesn't mean it isn't powerful!). I've seen several of these Sultai "I love keyword" commanders, and the math never quite gelled properly. The Dino version of them, however, has a legitimately scary body that makes it worth throwing directly into the command zone!
I actually just bought this commander last week with the intent of making it a commander so this is perfect!!! Thank you Professor!
Make sure you get a tarmogoyf!
I saw this commander and was unsure how to build plus I don’t have sultai either. This and Mr house are so fun to grab and put together.
❤ I absolutely adore this commander. I made him with Umori the Collector as companion and it’s oops all creatures. My version is all about self mill, reanimation, and card draw and winning with either Jarad Golgari Lichlord sacrificing a giant Lhurgoyf-type creature like Lord of Extinction or letting the commander go to the yard and playing The Mimeoplasm as a copy of him buffed by one of said star/star Lhurgoyfs to draw my entire deck with the ETB when I have Laboratory Maniac in play. (And every now and then I kill with Voltron cause he’s large, lol, but mostly I treat the commander as a lightning rod for removal while I’m trying to win with other creatures).
I like the deck. I do have one suggestion to anyone interested in building this. The mana base could be made slightly better with a few changed, Namely use of the Gates within these colors. The three Guildgates in these colors, they 3 'pick a color' gates in these colors, and the utility gates of Bakilisk, Baldur's, Heap, Gond, and maybe thran portal and Gateway plaza if you want. ALL of these are pennies on the dollar, and would replace the manlands, temples, and tainted wood currently in the deck. Along with the gates, changing Kodama's Reach, Cultivate, and Rampent growth with Circuitous Route, Explore the Underdark, and Navigation Orb. While the ramp spells are a bit more costly mana wise, they have the benefit of grabbing gates, allowing you to mana fix rather effectively. Additionally, Heap Gate, Baldur's Gate, and Gond Gate further help with mana fixing in one way or another, and lastly Basilisk Gate helps our Commander punch through. Assuming you use every possible gate in these colors, Basilisk Gate can add 12/12 to a creature, nearly making Indominous a OHKO. The Gates add a lot that's worth considering, and if you so desire can even be an alternate win con if you throw in Maze's End, cuz yes there are enough gates in 3 colors to Maze Win if desired.
Honestly speaking, if you're in green and 3 colors, that Gates make for a rather good mana base option on the cheap, as the 3 primary ramp spells (plus some other option like Sylvan Scrying, Hour of Promise, Reap and Sow, Crop Rotation, Tempt with Discovery and Expedition Map which all grab any land and not just basics) are all relatively cheap and can make for a pretty solid budget mana base. Seriously to all budget builders out there, give the Gates a go. You might be surprised by the results. Let's hope Deserts end up with the same kinda love, cuz I'd fucking kill someone to see a full set of 10 lands modeled after the Alara Panoramas, save for they grab one of two basic lands, or a desert. Hell even if they can ONLY grab one of two basic lands, or a desert they'd make for a killer budget set of fetches to combo with the 10 duel-ping deserts
Kitchen Imp is a simple add.. has two keywords and has madness =)
Honored Hydra is 1 for 1.. but you can cast it from your graveyard as 6/6 trample for 4 mana
Wonder and Brawn are ways to get keywords for the dino.. and everyone else!
Bramble Wurm, Colossal Rattlewurm, Faerie Dreamthief, Ichor Drinker, Placid Rottentail, Unwilling Ingredient - are all ways to reuse some of the discard cards for extra value, card draw, ramp and more.
Soul of Innistrad can give you 3 cards back, to spin the wheel again and Daring Fiendbonder can be used to acces the indestructible counter later on =)
Happy to say I'm about 2 months ahead on this one. I built it for my son for his birthday bc I thought it was a good commander to learn the game with.
I brewed this some time ago and it's one of my most aggressive decks, let's see what the Prof put in it! (I run a ton of "not legendary" clones and creatures with 3 keywords)
Oh my goodness I literally saw Indominous and wanted to build this but never got around to it. SK excited to see a Prof budget deck tech on it
Commenting waaay too early to have watched the whole video to say “I can’t believe scavenged brawler isn’t in here”. Time to watch the rest of the video to see when it gets mentioned.
I love these budget build videos, the builds and commander choices are so good. But something I've noticed when I go to playtest them online with my friends some of the videos have both the budget and upgraded deck lists and some just have one or the other.
Love it, love it, love it!
Great decktech! Looking forward to the next shuffle up and play! 😃
Great, THANKS!! Finally coould use it!!
If i hadn't just ordered my newest deck i'd totally consider this one
JESSIE IS BACK ON SU&P!!!🥳 also Olivia and Bobbie?! 😍
This is a really cool deck. There are several that I want to build from your videos. Thank you for the video Professor.
Man, Olivia must REALLY love Eriette. This is like the 3rd or even 4th time I see her using a deck with Eriette as her Commander. I mean I can more than understand it. When I saw her I was like 'Okay, I MUST have a deck with her as my Commander.' ^^
I might take this and focus on a deathtouch poison infection deck. With fynn the fang-bearer to turn deathtouch into poison counters
Glad we're going to see a few of these "pre-cons" in action. I really like the idea behind this one, but I already have two (one is Thrun) voltrons......
Guildmage's forum, Long list of the Ents, Metallic Mimic, Renata called to the hunt, biophagus, master chef and Savage summoning can also all make Indominus Rex enter the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter for an extra draw and a tiny bit of power, as well as giving you things on the board instead of having to hold onto everything for discard fodder
Just built Indoraptor...guess it's time to build this one next!
love you Prof Im buying your deck box in Green/Black soon! I'm excited to own something you helped make. and love your videos keeping us Magic players informed on whats the best thing going on right now.
I have the green one and it is great! I love how organized I am now before I shuffle up and play lol
@nottathug good to know the deck box is that good iv heard nothing but good things about it. Other than the magnets I heard they where a bit on the weak side but I'll be the judge of that. Cause it's not like I'm going to be throwing around my 600 dollar deck
That sure is a pretty neat idea to make your own precon deck lol.
Prof, I would love if you could put out videos like this with each new set. Thunder Junction precons were super lackluster, but I would would absolutely pick up a TCC precon built around a Thunder Junction commander
I've been considering an Indominous Rex commander. Thanks for laying the ground work, Prof.
Thank you so much for making this video i so want this deck.
My favorite pre-con in this series! My initial thought is that a crystal shard would be a great addition.
From the catacombs is another really good repeatable reanimation spell that also gives the initiative. Last I checked it was like .15. BBG is a really underrated set with tons of power houses bellow a dollar
So many of these cards are already selling out within minutes of this dropping lol
Indominus Rex, Alpha is my signature commander! I even have a primer for her on Moxfield 😍
My biggest disappointment with thunder junction and all of the decks is that there doesnt seem to be a gun equipment that lets you tap to deal damage to any target. I would make it have things like if it has double strike it damages twice to give that fastest gun in the west feel
I'm going to reveal my best kept secret about this commander:
Instant speed proliferate effects. I have an Indominus Rex deck that is hardwired to draw as many cards as possible, with winning as as secondary objective. Proliferating basically doubles your card draw on ETB, and pair that with any draw doubling effects such as Teferi's Ageless Insight or counter doublers like Winding Constrictor... I've managed to pull 40 cards out of my library on one ETB before.
Well, time to go sell plasma and buy this deck.
Where do you get the cards from? Every deck I see is closer to $100 and the upgrades closer to $200 through either card kingdom or TCG player
Any chance you might one day do like a revisited video for your other precons? Plenty of sets have since came out, so kinda curious if you’d swap or upgrade anything in those older ones.
This one looks like a lot of fun, thanks Prof!
Nightveil Predator should be added to this list. More keyword soup! Cool deck
You are top tier at wordplay my good sir
When I first read this card I knew it'd be an utter monster in the right deck but I wasn't experienced enough with the game yet to craft it myself -- how fortuitous someone else did :3
Plus I simply LOVE the art on the Jurassic cards -- it's a pity they didn't do a full UB set with the license since there's an unsurprising amount of potential for a Fallout-sized set across all the themes. The cards they did release have the ghost of precon structure ideas around them, like Henry Wu's exploit creatures mechanic. Throw in a potential Blue/Owen partner dinos deck and, of course, this Indominus Rex 'tron.
Heck, they could have added a Tembo/Muldoon card for hunters/trappers theme with equipment and vehicles/theft, or lockdown/control. Whoops, now you have a 4x precon set.
Or not... I'm biased. I love dinos and Jurassic, sooooooooooo...... 😂
AMAzing deck!!!
more deck tech!!
The great thing about indominous rex is that its easily interchangeable with Rayami without having to change much beyond the commander.
I’ve been running this commander with multiple clones to churn through the deck quickly and land an eventual Rise of the Dark realms that should include either End raze forerunners/Craterhoof from the yard to close out the game. Backed up with cheap counterspells to make sure the Rise sticks.
Here is a card that you might want to add is Silent Arbiter. It forces one on one combat, so if you give indominus rex menace, then they can't block.
Prof! You missed one of the best cards. Scavenged brawler
It’ll give flying vigi trample lifelink
Then if you can’t get the reanimation or return to hand, you can just exile the scavenged brawler for 5 to give Rex flying vigi trample lifelink AND 4 +1/+1 counters!
I love budget builds, I just put together kros defense contractor for 23.00!! I love this content please make more!!
It’s nice to see other Dinos get the spotlight.
I’ve played against SO MANY PANTS
I know its still but honestly also adding in Graft Creatures (who happen to be Mutants as well) just because you can stack triggers and make her huge upon entering the board c:
I’m pretty sure someone’s already said so but the lack of scavenged brawler hurts. 4 key words and the ability to give them again later on is just great. And it’s less than $2 at the time of this post.
This sounds fun. Something about having 2/5 of your deck being about feeding them to your dinosaur.
I wold Love to See a Budget Deck for Arcades the strategist, with all this cheap walls you can get a very powerfull Army for less than 45$
Other than me collecting the Jurassic World cards along the other dino cards, I wanted to build a dino theme commander deck. Already have a good dino standard.... Modern..... Not sure which it's called but I have that. So having a dino commander deck will be awesome!
Oh, come on...add Sun Quan, Lord of Wu for the fun of Horsemanship! Just imagine a giant, roaring dinosaur charging into battle on an average sized horse!
It's like a twisted parallel universe version of Dino Riders.
Absolutely love this series!
Oh a video from The Professor about a deck I was in the middle of planning? Don’t mind if I do.
Honestly given how much the price for precons has risen recently I think its becoming increasingly better to opt for the DIY option.
