Video

Thanks for watching! I hope you find the time to get into Magic. It brings a lot of people together!

Thank you! I added the decklist in the video's description! Hope it helps!

Thanks for clarifying. I apologize for any confusion.

Thank you! You're right with EDHREC's rankings. It's crazy to see Isshin be the 3rd already!

I believe you have to choose one. His ability states the first Instant "or" sorcery you cast each turn. If it had "and" then I would think you could cast both for 3 less.

@@CinoMTG No Im talking about his power and toughness thing

That's a really good question, and I took the time to research some ruling with dual spells. No matter if it has fuse or if it's a split card like Commit // Memory; it still counts as one card. Melek will still see it as either a single instant card or a single sorcery card making him a 2/2. (Of course if it's the only spell in your graveyard.) Hope this helps!

Hey thanks, Auscilius, for the feedback! I'm glad you liked it!

It's not always about winning, but the social experience you get playing in the Commander format. If you'd like to win all the time I'd go play cEDH or other formats. Thanks!

So many new options from recent sets too! Thank you for checking out the video!

Hehe Thanks!

Oooooh nice!

Dragon Shield Sleeves / Gold

Thanks :D@@CinoMTG

Faster mana is always good especially with how fast Veyran wants to be. Hoped you enjoyed the video!

Seems like a really good theme for Edgar after a few sets with new Vamps! Hope it's been fun for you!

Harmonic Prodigy is definitely a must!

I haven't made any adjustments in particular because I've moved on from this deck. However, Orcus, Prince of Death and Balor stick out to me the most. If it's in your budget I'd look into upgrading the land base.

It's hard to choose what to do with Veyran. Both of her abilities scream value. I'd invest into storm and lots of 1 mana cantrips to keep fueling that storm. Try to put the best storm pay offs in there along with magecraft too. So like, Aetherflux Reservoir, Brain Freeze, Aria's Flame, Grapeshot, Thousand-Year Storm to name a few. I'd also look into Veilstone Amulet and Leering Emblem since they both trigger twice with Veyran out. If you need to put more counter spells in because of your Meta then do so. Pace yourself with Veyran; you've already won with such a low mana curve.

There were a few jokes thrown at me for that. Especially since I used to play Yu-Gi-Oh. I hope you figured out the groove for Kadena! There's a lot of new stuff for her from Murders at Karlov Manor!

I have not updated this recently. I can advise to stick with one mana cantrips so that the curve keeps getting lowered for Veyran and you can keep going with slinging spells.

Hey thanks for the feedback! Keep an eye out for a redux for this Commander. There are a few swaps I've made to give it that unpredictability.

@jasonst.george5799 I'd love to see your list, happen to have it handy?

There is an updated list since Lost Caverns of Ixalan had me brewing new things for Edgar Markov. Keep an eye out for the redux!

Any card you don't see in the deck I don't have. Otherwise yeah, a Rhystic Study would be nice to keep card draw coming in.

@@CinoMTG fair enough

After it enters the battlefield under your control, I give control of it to an opponent. After that it damages my opponent because of the "you" on the card which means it's controller.

@@CinoMTG ...But you don't "control" the card anymore. You still "own" it, but as it is on your opponent's field, it's under your opponent's control. Your reasoning is like saying you play Gilded Drake, but your opponent still controls the creature you stole.

You're right, I still own it and yes I don't have control of it because I gave it to an opponent. However, "you" on the card means it's controller. So whoever is controlling it they will be taking 2 damage on their upkeep. Not it's owner.

@@CinoMTG Understood, but my main point is that it would not contribute to Rakdos' reduction because the damage would not happen on your turn. That's why its not particularly helpful for the deck, other than just picking on one other player.

@@erubin100 thank you, I just removed it, it does not work in this deck, simply because u really want that discount on your turn. Good callout

Thank you!

@@CinoMTG you are welcome

Pretty close to an 8 pl. Not cedh unless you have all 0 drop mana rocks and a better land package.

If you casting/copying were to happen all three would trigger. Veyran would get +2/+2, Sprite Dragon would get 2 counters and you would gain 2 life from Aetherflux depending on how many spells you have casted that turn. Aetherflux gains you a lot of life if you've casted a bunch of spells in a turn. Archmage Emeritus triggers twice so you draw two cards. There's been numerous times where I've casted enough instant and sorceries that I can one shot my opponents because she's a 30/30.

On another note, I ended up putting Veyran in my Partners deck Vial Smasher and Sakashima and because Vial Smasher is a "Whenever" ability Veyran triggers that twice as long as I casted an instant or a sorcery spell.

Imperious Bloodlord for the win and the only planeswalker you'll need. If you're on a budget, Sorin, Vengeful Bloodlord.

Send me your decklist and I'll give a look at it.

This is a link to my current deck but I want to do some changes

The only way I have ever won is with burn effects so I think I want to add some more burn spells

There wasn't a link on any messages.

Okay never mind I just looked it up you can’t leave links in the CZcams comment section it will auto delete in like 20secs

Yea, I had my worries especially being a newish player and have had a few toxic encounters playing Magic. I certainly won't mind people's opinion as much anymore. Thanks for watching!

I'm glad my deck could help in some form. Highly recommend getting Tibalt's Trickery, Red Elemental Blast and Pyroblast for that spellslinger friend.

@@CinoMTG you know whats so funny. I just ordered all three of those like yesterday or the day before cause a friend told me about red counter spells. Time for a taste of his own medicine.

Thank you! Edgar definitely filled the need of Vampires in my aresenal. There's so many new things since Lost Caverns of Ixalan came out. Keep an eye out for my redux!

Bloodstained Mire is NOT necessary for a Rakdos deck, but if it is in the budget; I highly suggest getting a better land package for him.

top comment i was looking for

You're totally right. Lots of things run through my mind and sometimes I slip up with the presentation. I hope at the very least you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!

Yes, land package is not nearly as good as it should be. I highly recommend upgrading the lands!

You're right. $350 is far from budget, but this isn't a budget video. It's my personal deck with a value of $350. The point of this was to show off my deck and maybe help others build their own deck.

@@CinoMTG I know it's not meant to be budget, I was just stating it could easily become one. I'm always glad to see indulgent tormentor make a deck list, he was my first real boss monster in magic, great video though.

So glad you caught that because my bestfriend and I have laughed about it a few times and hoped one day someone will notice, so we could edit and change it. Rakdos is pretty Rad though 😊

@@CinoMTG Nice! haha

Well, from a 2 year hiatus I have come back in full throttle. There are two new videos out now and more to come! Thanks for watching!

9:11 the spell you were thinking of was reiterate which is the 3 drop that if you pay 6 you can buy it back but it essentially does the same thing as reverberate.

Funny enough, there’s another one called Galvanic Iteration with flashback instead of buyback that would also work lol

It's very high-brain power for sure. I would say it's an 8 just because I don't have the expensive mana rocks or the og dual lands. This deck usually wins on turn 5 or 6 sometimes 4.

Some people set a 500 dollar budget for a deck. So if you then talk about is it a budget it just depend on what you are just to spend on a deck. Some people spend like a 100 so they will say this deck is in their budget its all relative.

Hey thanks for checking it out! I'm also a Meren player and I probably should do a tech on her as well 😅

@@CinoMTG would definitely watch

Hey, good point! Sorry for making you feel sick. I'll for sure keep that in mind!

It went well, I took it apart long ago for other decks that I'm currently building. Will have more personal deck techs up soon and newer content as well.

@@CinoMTG nice I liked you skit too you and your boy should go out for some sloppy steaks

There will be an updated video for the decklist next month after Crimson Vow spoilers. However, lifegain is a fun and cool way to win with Edgar Markov. I appreciate your thoughts on this one. Cards like Elenda, The Dusk Rose, Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord, Anguished Unmaking, Swords to Plowshares, Boros Charm and Akroma's Will are all great cards to put into Edgar. Which all will be in the next video I make of him with a new strategy because I think lifegain is not the way to go with Edgar especially with how the general meta is right now. We want a quicker aggro markov that is going wide right away and buffing those later on. Infinite Combos such as Exquisite Blood and Sanguine Bond are cool to some but after playing it over and over again; it has been stale for awhile now. Anyway, hope that answers your questions. Feel free to subscribe and keep yourself notified with the updated video on Edgar. Thanks!

@@CinoMTG My Edgar deck leans more with +1 counters, with a little bit of lifegain mixed in. Also every Edgar deck Iv seen lately tends to use the blood/bond combo. Though im glad you see that its a boring combo to win by.
