@@Boyahda he's doing speculative journalism, and the deck techs have slowed down. Click bait such as "tegrid is getting BANNED" and then saying in the video after his 2 minute intro and 1 minute of talk about tegrid that "no she isn't... YET... based on SPECULATION"
This list is a MASSIVE help to someone getting into commander. Thank you so much for this video, love how you give your personal reasoning behind each card. Makes the less obvious good cards easier to envision without context!
Thanks for this, DJ. MTG sets come at us so fast and furious these days that, as a Commander player, I can't keep up and find videos like this a godsend. Just ordered 31 cards off this list. Amazing
Oh lord yes. I built my first commander deck (sek'kuar) from your previous video and loved it ever since. INSTANTLY clicked on this one! Thanks for making these, they're great!
I went out and bought the cards on your old list DJ, saw them rise in value really quick and kept them all because they're all genuinely good cards. This is, in my opinion one of your best vids/vid series. Good Job and thank you. Hope you're well, stay safe
I bought an earlier version of this list when I was starting out in commander and it has been great. I still stumble over cards that I didn’t appreciate when I purchased it, but suddenly are perfect for a new deck I’m working on. Merry Christmas!
Two things: first, I can’t believe these cards are this cheap. That’s great! Second, this is a fantastic list to offer to new players. More people should make videos like this!
Just now getting into Commander, and this kind of video is a godsend. I’m keeping a list of every card from this video and then if/when I decide to make a Simic or Grixis deck, I’m coming back to it for sure.
After building a cEDH Selvala and Najeela, I decided to try budget. Built a budget Yuriko deck and she can still do work. A well-built budget deck is no joke.
@@olafthemoose9413 Very true; you can add expensive cards to a mediocre commander and MAYBE bump its power. A strong commander will carry budget cards. Yuriko IS very strong.
@@JustforKikX yuriko is absurd, I have her and she's by far the strongest deck I own, even as a budget player. Damage AND draw on a commander, here's hoping for more Ninja variation commanders in Kamigawa
Easy to build around busted commanders for sure. Oher easy go tos for budget players could be Chulane , Korvold, Sythis, etc. Just make sure your commander says "draw a card " and ur good to go
Great to hear people giving praise to Gonti! One of my favourite cards of all time. I have a Gonti EDH deck and I love it so much. Countering the Azami player's spell with their own or killing someone with their own Triumph of the hordes, delicious!
This is pure gold!! If you got any more ideas for budget staples please make another video. I'm trying to fill my binder and so I'm going to order most of these (I already have some)
Loved watching this! I have quite a few of the red cards in my Zara, Renegade Recruiter theft deck (Fire squad, Etali, Captivating Crew, etc) and love seeing them get some love here!
Thank you, DJ, for making this list. I have a lot of these, but it's definitely nice to get some reminders on ones missed and/or forgotten (or never knew!) It's interesting how some of them are already many times more expensive (looking at you, Slippery Bogbonder), and I'm curious which other ones will increase in the future. Happy New Year to all.
Loving the picks, all great cards to start your EDH collection. - Scytheclaw I had to remove it from my Edric deck, so many evasive 1/1's that card was too good - Slipper Bogbonder is silly how underrated it is - Etali under a 1$= Wow - Rapacious One is great tech for budget Xenagos - Vile Entomber is almost perfect, Zombie Wizard not Warlock; Oriq Loremage is OK but comparing these two is like an Instant and a Sorcery - Inevitable Betrayal solid Blue card - Avenging Huntbonder with those Doublestrike Counters, Lovin' it I'd add Raving Dead to the list, such a silly card since it is random :P
Always good to see a mythic card worth 0.25$. Makes me feel safe investing into the cards worth a hundred. Like they'll never end up like that. . . . . . 😐
As weird as it is, I've used Thieving Amalgam enough to cause my group to understand me saying "I've got Ape Snake". I have it in my Sek'Kuar decklist (I've got every Coldsnap commander) bc those creatures are nontoken, which is clearly great.
I’m surprised that I haven’t seen chain reaction before. It seems good whether you’re on a budget or not, at least for color combinations with limited board wipe capabilities
Dunno - some of these are good - but seems general theme is “if you don’t have the budget, steal other player’s cards and use those instead”. not sure most of recommended ones are really “staple” cards vs being card choices for specific playstyle.
Vile Entomber seems WAAAAYY better then Oriq Loremage, since you don’t have to wait an entire turn to do anything with it. I feel like people would just kill loremage before it gets too much value
@@tempestandacomputer6951 lol, true. If you can activate the loremage twice or more, it's probably better, so yeah, that'd totally depend on how much removal your playgroup runs, and how much of a threat they perceive entombing to be
"I need you to fill this cup" - Selesnya Urologist probably
It stands to reason they'd have healers that specialize in that.. never really struck me as a battlefield post though^^
In the Selesnya Conclave, we all fill the cup TOGETHER
Two elves 1 cup?
DJ moving in on the territory Mitch has left behind. Always love seeing your content.
Shots fired
all he had to do was change a few things and shift directions. but he decided to stick with clickbait. :(
Did he stop doing budget stuff or something?
And doing it 10x better than Mitch wishes he could

Bless you for leaving in the urologist mishap. I definitely enjoyed that!
Other than the actual, very relevant budget info, this made me laugh so hard I woke up my napping child - worth it because he started laughing too!

From my experience the powerlevel of budget decks is very heavily dependant on the commander.

I love how your videos alternate from you showing off your 60,000 dollar edh decklist to now showing off your budget binder!
I personally go through every sets collection looking for obscure, unknown cards that I can scoop up and use in my decks
YES :D
Amazing video! I would love to see an updated version of this since we got a ton of new cards 😆
Great video. No more detail needed - getting through more cards is better imo. Thanks, DJ.

This was a really great video and more elaborate videos would also be greatly appreciated! thanks as always DJ!
Obsidian Charmaw is fun, I threw it in my Prosper deck for something on the field while I spin my wheels and I’ve been very happy.
Duuuude Rapacious One in my Purphoros deck is easily one of my favorite casual synergies in all of magic.
This video speaks to my budget soul. My decks are practically a showcase for cards like this.
Loved watching this! I have quite a few of the red cards in my Zara, Renegade Recruiter theft deck (Fire squad, Etali, Captivating Crew, etc) and love seeing them get some love here!
Love it, thank you! Put me onto so many cards I'd forgotten about that have really dropped in price
DJ I’ve been waiting for the follow up! Torgaar is a new favorite thanks to you. Keep up the great videos man!
Love these types of videos I don't really see them anymore keep it up DJ
I personally love these cards and the channel!
Very helpful video! Thanks DJ!
Cheers for the list. Lots of these cards are in my binders and boxes and should get some new life in decks!

Slippery Bogbonder jumped in no small part due to Kyler I believe.
Indeed. It also helped that Matt from EDH Rec hyped it up this past year!
I have piper of the swarm in my Shirei deck, and it’s great!
Played in last game Villainous wealth with X=11 in my Archellos deck, so fun indeed!
Where do you get those sick magic shirts you wear in your videos!
Chain reaction does, indeed, clear the board
I love the squee vibes the thumbnail gives off! Great video!
Damn Deej, you're the best man!
Loving the picks, all great cards to start your EDH collection.
- Scytheclaw I had to remove it from my Edric deck, so many evasive 1/1's that card was too good
- Slipper Bogbonder is silly how underrated it is
- Etali under a 1$= Wow
- Rapacious One is great tech for budget Xenagos
- Vile Entomber is almost perfect, Zombie Wizard not Warlock; Oriq Loremage is OK but comparing these two is like an Instant and a Sorcery
- Inevitable Betrayal solid Blue card
- Avenging Huntbonder with those Doublestrike Counters, Lovin' it
I'd add Raving Dead to the list, such a silly card since it is random :P
Honestly would love if there was just a link to a prefilled cart of all this thatd be so kool
It's about $3 but my favorite board wipe is Winds of Abandon. Especially in a hate/fort deck.
This content is so good and I always appreciate your lists!
You definitely need to put ‘death or glory’ on one of these lists tho tbh
I play Graveshifter in Kaalia actually, to help with graveyard recursion
I love these videos. Keep it up DJ!
ritesof initiation is cool in rakdos with add nauseum. draw full deck then swing out and discard 40 cards. I have only done it once but it was cool.
I can see you talking about each card in as a series of shorts
OMG I totally missed Avenging Huntbounder in my Adeline deck !
Always good to see a mythic card worth 0.25$. Makes me feel safe investing into the cards worth a hundred. Like they'll never end up like that. . . . . . 😐
I run Rites of Initiation in my Feldon deck. Pump my Eldrazi or Drago, and get new Feldon targets in my graveyard? Yes, please!
I am proud that i already own almost all of them :)
Me to
As weird as it is, I've used Thieving Amalgam enough to cause my group to understand me saying "I've got Ape Snake". I have it in my Sek'Kuar decklist (I've got every Coldsnap commander) bc those creatures are nontoken, which is clearly great.
Selesnya Urologist... heh heh... "Exile a creature card from your graveyard: Probe target players prostate"
I’m surprised that I haven’t seen chain reaction before. It seems good whether you’re on a budget or not, at least for color combinations with limited board wipe capabilities
Selesnya Eulogist: "You can populate."
Selesnya Urologist: "You've got green mana in your piss pipe."
Are you going to do the long form deep dive episodes like last time? I really enjoyed them!
loved the budget video. commander has ben getting way too expensive.
23:22 i was like.. what, did i mishear him repeating himself?
Tell me where I can get a selesnya eurologist I need to know
If imoti is my commander, if she sticks and im allowed to cast a 6 mana spell, I just took a bunch of turns and emptied my deck onto the battlefield
Inevitable betrayel is soo good with Cascade like in my Imoti deck :)
OMG where do u was gettign this beautiful t-Shirt
Descend upon the Sinful is a cheap and great boardwipe as it exiles
Do more stuff like this! ❤️
Second this.

Oriq lore mage is super good in muldrotha
Dire Fleet Daredevil is sooo good!
Under 1 dollar would be budget for my wallet xD Thanks for this
Ha! A lot of these are the first cards I cut out of pre-cons. I guess I don’t mind spending $1 for a card. 😝
I know what alter i want made...
Its a selesnya card, a doctor
Vile Entomber seems WAAAAYY better then Oriq Loremage, since you don’t have to wait an entire turn to do anything with it. I feel like people would just kill loremage before it gets too much value
Depends on your pod. Literally any other threat is actually worth killing more so than an entomber.

@@user-fd2co5xr7k Yeah meta matters. When my playgroup and started out on commander, we each ran about 4-5 boardwipes. Creatures didn't live often lol
@@tempestandacomputer6951 yeah, lol, that makes sense
Jonah hill plays magic?? Dope 😂
Selesnya Urologist!!!!
I still cant believe that the guy said bucknards purse is better than ebony fly. blows my mind
Selesnya Urologist 🤔😳😳😳😳😳
cuts were a little rough on this video. but still great content nethertheless.
TAKE NOTES NOTAKIGN NOTES.
Dire fleet daredevil is around $12 now
Huh? It’s like $0.50 on Card Kingdom. Are you thinking of Pitiless Plunderer?
@@WronglyAccusedProd well I bought mine around a year ago and it was $8
DJ is your plant ok? 🪴 🌱 😅
I could have watched u gush over these cards for an hour or more...
Now a 50 dollar and 100 dollar version
