Honesty, this is an exceptionally well made video, and it's great for new commander players. Love how you explain the cards and different strats. 10/10
I love this deck! As a new player, I can not describe the feeling I had yesterday when suddenly the deck poped, and I controlled the board. I played Goblin Chainwhirler whilst Grave Betrayal and zagras were on the board already. I faced 2 blue players, who already used their counterspells. So I controlled every single creature on the board. Their faces were priceless. It was a 5 player free for all. :D
Also, I should mention I had "the anger" in the graveyard and the scythe ready to equip. The cards that helped me win. I had just purchased them in the store I was playing in an hour prior to playing the pod. (Namely grave Betrayal, Goblin Chainwhirler, Anger)
This is exactly why I love making videos hearing feedback like that! Thank you so much for commenting I hope you continue to enjoy the deck for a long time 😁
With cards like Lightning Mastery in the deck, a good upgrade would be Stigma Lasher. One little critter shutting down an entire strategy for the rest of the game? Love it. Also, with all the deathtouch you're throwing around, Bloodmark Mentor would be good even though it only helps some of your creatures.
Definitely! When you only dealing minimal damage you do not want your opponents gaining life 😁 I do like bloodmark mentor but I don’t know if what it provides is ultimately better for the deck or not but it’s certainly something to be tested
Played my Ghyrson Starn deck against a similar brew by a friend of mine, it was pure chaos; looking forward to come at them with this for a mirror match
I love my Zagras deck. I'm not sure what you budget restriction per card is but a couple recommended adds is Goblin Chainwhirler ~$1.25 and Dagger Caster ~$0.25. Both support Party (Warrior and Rogue respectively) and are one sided wipes on ETB with Zagras out.
I almost did I kept chainwhirler out because of the price and I remember looking at Dagger Caster but for the life of me I cannot remember why I didn’t include such a great option! Thank you for commenting 😁
I tried buying it from TCGPlayer from your Moxfield link but The Swamp cards seems to mess it up anytime you try to add them. This deck looks like a real problem though, and I really want to get my hands on it haha
I hope it works out for you! That’s a weird bug, I’ve bought whole decks only a handful of times and the lands are the first thing I take out before buying the rest 😅 but I’m so glad you like it
Warstorm Surge is great with Zagras to take out creatures when your own etb. With Ogre Slumlord you can destroy every nontoken creature you like with the rat tokens it creates. Surge + Kiki Jiki + Dread Slaver can make you infinite hasty Dread Slavers by killing and resurrecting Kiki Jiki over and over again.
Excellent upgrade options! I didn’t even think about that but that’s phenomenal, this is a huge reason I love the community by coming together and adding to it 😁 thank you so much for commenting
That’s crazy that it would! Dang that’s something that would definitely turn the game on it’s head in your favor and also probably a reason the cards so expensive 😅
A phenomenal card in the deck to be sure, and if I had one to spare or the budget for it I would have thrown it in there. Desperately needs a reprint, good suggestion though! 😁
Tibalt, Dreadhorde Butcher, Harsh Mentor, Ambitions Cost, Blood Pact, Mechanized Warfare. From there I would just get some test plays in and see what works for you
Yes, the different types of monsters you play as long as they have one of the types listed on party. Which I believe is Wizard, rogue, cleric, warrior.
Definitely should have been included in the upgrades! Unfortunately it’s a to expensive for the normal budget version but if you have one lying around or just want to throw one in there I’m sure it would put in work 😁
Yes first strike would make it even nastier when it comes to blocking but I think the pingers do a great job of keeping the board clear so you shouldn’t have to worry about it 😁 thank you for commenting
I am amazed Pestilent Spirit isn't in the deck: (2)B 3/2 Spirit- Menace, Deathtouch. Instant and Sorcery spells you control have deathtouch. Pretty much does what the commander does, except it turns the damage of things like Abrade into hard creature destruction. Or an overloaded Electrickery goes from a 3 mana instant that kills mana dorks and some tokens into a one sided, instant speed board wipe. Its budget friendly too, coming in at under 50 cents.
Definitely thought about including it but with the general direction of the deck it made more sense to focus on the pinger strategy and the card draw for back up. Also with cards like abrade they can double as artifact removal instead of just creature removal which the deck does in spades. It’s a great card and definitely something I will keep in mind for future decks but it just doesn’t fit with the rest of this particular deck. Thank you for commenting 😁
I recommend putting an Ob nixilis, captain kingpin and a All Will be One in this deck for infinite damage. Since there are many ways for this deck to deal exactly 1 damage

This was well made. You definitely need more subscribers
Thank you so much 😊 I truly appreciate that!

With zagras out and one mark deathbringer thoctar becomes a infinite board wipe if no one uses a spell to remove it - it’s amazing
Exactly! And it still ends with a counter to do it again if they play more creatures! 😁
I love the video great job
Thank you 😊
This looks super fun
It’s a ton of fun for you 😆 the rest of the table might not agree but thank you so much for commenting
@@TypicalGeminiMTG haha that's fair, I'm used to people hating me for my decks sadly. Spellslinger player here :')

@@TypicalGeminiMTG Arcbond or Chandra’s Ignition targeting Dread Slaver would kill and resurrect each other creature for another neat trick
That’s crazy that it would! Dang that’s something that would definitely turn the game on it’s head in your favor and also probably a reason the cards so expensive 😅
Loving this, which movie did uou reference at 00:28?
The 2004 Van Helsing movie 😁
Goblin sharpshooter would be fun with death touch
A phenomenal card in the deck to be sure, and if I had one to spare or the budget for it I would have thrown it in there. Desperately needs a reprint, good suggestion though! 😁
I have not played on paper since around 10th edition I have a play set was one of favorite cards back in the day just has so much flavor to it.
What cards would you for the upgrades?
Tibalt, Dreadhorde Butcher, Harsh Mentor, Ambitions Cost, Blood Pact, Mechanized Warfare. From there I would just get some test plays in and see what works for you
What is considered your party? Like just monsters ive played on the field?
Yes, the different types of monsters you play as long as they have one of the types listed on party. Which I believe is Wizard, rogue, cleric, warrior.
goblin sharpshooter should be in there
Definitely should have been included in the upgrades! Unfortunately it’s a to expensive for the normal budget version but if you have one lying around or just want to throw one in there I’m sure it would put in work 😁
First strike + this
Yes first strike would make it even nastier when it comes to blocking but I think the pingers do a great job of keeping the board clear so you shouldn’t have to worry about it 😁 thank you for commenting
Add grimm lavamancer and magus of the scroll
Definitely could be includes I just worry a little about removing cards from our graveyard since we also have access to quite a bit of reanimation.

🔥🔥☯️🔥🔥 boy do i feel the power in this b****
Hopefully it performs for you always! Glad you liked the deck 😁

Great include! I hope his price isn’t to crazy as it would be a fantastic piece to include for an upgrade
obvious point out that phyrexian arena is dirt cheap rn.
That is a good point! I completely forgot it’s gotten enough reprints to be a budget pick, thank you. 😊
