Which commanders do you think are the most powerful Commanders in the set? Are you planning on building any of the Commanders we talked about today? What are the hot pieces of tech that we missed?
Eriette should have made the list!
@@nimmer4749 THIS ^^ Why she was not included confuses me!
Brenard, Ginger Sculptor
The new korvold !!
Agatha for sure, super fun
I love how Murph comes in to clarify a rules mistake with replacement effects.
I HAVE to? Don’t tell me what to do, Jimmy
The channel is called "The Command Zone", not "The Suggestion Zone".
@@Thoughtmage100 honestly you got me there
@@Thoughtmage100the order zone
What is it this comment is referring to?
@@pinkstarburst99 The video title.
Will has taught me that Love At First Sight is legit. You just gotta wait for the right Commander to show up.
Same. My Azorius heart has been making do, trying to find the right one. Denry, Elenda&Azor, even Atraxa. Then I saw Hylda in previews. That said, 'Opposition' wasn't recommended, she requires it.
I would love for Rachel to just walk through all of her decks and explain how they work and all the cool little pieces. Her deck building is so neat and outside of the normal expectations
We have some good news: czcams.com/video/LCqGf27Xyvk/video.htmlfeature=shared
Rachel is such a good addition to the team. Always great when she's on
Was hoping to see Erietta in this list! Hopefully shows up in some content soon!
Don't worry. We'll talk about Eriette soon.
@@commandcast :/ still waiting on that
I know everyone is hyped for Rowan, but I’m honestly just as excited for Will if not more so.
Will is my personal choice of the two. More interested in doing big fun things, not just something big that ends the game.
@@platinumangel7446 Agreed! I want to just play a Drogskol Reaver for 2 mana.
My daughters name is Rowan and she is a bit unhinged and aggressive so Rowan will definitely be my next commander.
The way I see it, Will rewards you for doing s thing you want to do anyhoo. Rowan rewards you for a thing you don't want to do.
Not sure when you started adding time stamps, but very thankful for that
I love the new gingerbread golem bant commander, he can be great as golem tribal, but more interestingly he can be a cool comboish etb ltb deck that creates a bunch of tokens. Absolute value train.
I’m really excited to build gylwain seems sick
I think zada/mirrrow wing dragon are also spicy includes in imodane. They can turn a single burn spell into a win with only a few creatures on board.
1:10:48 "Aratsocrat" would be another!
Currently brewing for the Ice Queen Hylda! I've added creatures like Abzan Battle Priest and Abzan Falconer so with them on the field when I give all my creatures and elemental tokens +1/+1 counters they all get flying and lifelink which is insanely good.
Sigarda's summons makes your creatures into 4/4 flying angels when they get those counters
@@eriksonsmyth2819 they would have to get a +1/+1 counter on them first but essentially yes! You’d use her to make the tokens and then put the counters on them which with her ability, all your creatures get them so it’s a-really potent board state I’d say :)
@@ArteausArtane She'd literally be making snow angels!
@@eriksonsmyth2819 Right! Oh man that’s good
Have you played with it and against it? Is it annoying?
I like the card because of the art but I thought it'd be a very annoying deck where your opponents might just hate you outright.
I love how in depth you guys get but also get playful with it. The meteor and Gishath got me! (:
I'd love to see your version of a Yusri, Fortune's Flame commander. My playgroup let's me use Lutri, Spellchaser as a companion and with my 3 Jin-Gitaxias', blue, red and izzet elder dragons and of course thassa's oracle, it's such a crazy time! Lol. ...I also run Leyline of Anticipation and Omniscience.
Murph with the assist!
I'm so digging the artwork and ability of the new Alela. Will definitely build that Faerie flash tribal for sure.
I've got a Killian, Ink Duelist deck that's immediately turning into an Eriette deck as soon as Wilds of Eldraine drops. It does exactly what Killian does, but better. It might be a bit slower because Killian has mana reduction baked into him but I think it'll be stronger and more fun in the long run.
I think Eriette of the Charmed Apple is a amazing commander to play. I am going to transform my Daxos the Returned deck with more aura's then enchantments and drain the table
Would love to see full brews on the channel. Getting the full layout of how and why would be great. And i also think it would be great to get a view of how each host thinks
Hylda is fantastic! But I already run a Rhoda and Timin deck...a lot of my favorite cards in that deck were mentioned, but I'll also throw in Dismiss Into Dreams. Kinda expensive enchantment, but it can be pretty devastating! It can have a similar effect to Willbender, except more permanent. It can get rid of things with indestructible, which Sunblast Angel cannot. And it'll shut down equipments, auras, single target protection spells, etc. It's great!
There are so many fun Commanders in this set! I'm looking forward to seeing all the new brews at my LGS. Also, going to CommandFest 2023 in Portland in October and I bet a bunch are going to be there as well.
I hadn't originally planned on building any of the new Commanders from Wilds of Eldraine, but I'm definitely taking another look at maybe replacing some of my existing decks to transition into some new ones.
Totentanz is German and translates into dance of the dead.
Great video! I love how in-depth you go and how passionate and knowledgeable you both are. Only thing I'd say is you both seem to kinda talk over each other a lot which I can see comes from a place of excitement and wanting to get your thoughts out but I just would love to be able to hear your thoughts individually and not overlapping. Awesome content as always tho and so many great commanders from this set.
An idea I have for Talion will be a deck that focuses on returning cards back to people's hands, both opponents and yourself. Forcing opponents to possibly trigger Talion again to get something back.
And many of my other creatures will have ETB effects. So if not just forcing opponents to take damage of recasting and giving myself a draw, I will have something coming back to do other things. I know the bottleneck might be in being able to recast.
I am most interested in building Hylda. If you want to keep the Junkwinder loop going just run Intruder Alarm and a mana dork. Or you can run Opposition instead of Junkwinder. With those cards on the field you can make infinite tokens. To address the opponents not having creatures problem, just run Forbidden Orchard.
I’m really excited to go back to Eldraine! The first pack I ever opened was from Throne of Eldraine, with a Grumgully inside. I’m excited for the whimsy of the plane after the heaviness of the phyrexian story arch
Ah sweet! new content ^^ so hyped for Rowan as a commander!
I've been waiting for so long for a group slug commander to speak to me. Rowan fits exactly what I've been looking for. Can't wait to build her
I love Murphy coming in with the replacement effects. Please keep doing that on rules mistakes.
53:28 Rachel is wrong, you cannot choose a non-integer number.
From the comprehensive rules:
107.1. The only numbers the Magic game uses are integers.
107.1a You can’t choose a fractional number, deal fractional damage, gain fractional life, and so on.
If a spell or ability could generate a fractional number, the spell or ability will tell you whether
to round up or down.
I do not care
Yay, they talked about totentanz! I’ve had a jerren build since he came out, and ppl at my local game store now kill him on sight 😅 totentanz scares me because he does the same thing but while adding red, not dealing damage to you, and not having the limitation of nontoken HUMANS, like jerren. Totentanz will wipe outta the blue, mark my words
My favourite in this selection is probably Talion, because I do like a bit of Dimir Control. But from the whole set, I think I'm most excited for getting Eriette. The pseudo goad means I can play around with pumping up opponents' creatures and have them battle each other while I sit back and life drain the board.
Kellan would be a cool honorable mention. Very efficient tutor, can go tall or wide, and searches for its own protection.
Missed out on an opportunity to sing "this land is your land, this land is my land" when playing Wellspring.
Beluna Grandsquall is my vote for best legend in the set. She has serious cEDH combo potential.
Since she’s your commander when you cast her Adventure you can just put her back in the command zone to cast the Adventure again.
This means with infinite mana you have an infinite mill outlet on demand in the command zone, letting you mill your entire deck, put every Adventure card into your hand, then use an Adventure from a creature like Tlincalli Hunter to put Thassa’s Oracle from the GY into exile then recast it for the win.
She also acts as a huge value piece, being a cheap 3 cost commander that makes your Adventure creatures cheaper. So she can be on board until you need to bounce her to hand (a lot of Adventures do this) and start the Adventure loop from there.
Beluna Grandsquall is absolutely the best legend in WOE. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Zada is an insane wincon with Imodane
Hahaha. Whoa! That seems sweet!
I thought of Zada too, but surely for it to be more effective than just Fiery Emancipation you'd need more than 3 creatures out right? And I guess it's gonna be hard to get enough creatures in the deck for that to be worth it
I think the Black/White queen/Eriette is also a potential good one you missed.
And Totentanz is German for Dodendans, in english Dance of Death.
It is a symphonie by Frans Liszt and is also known under the name Danse Macabre. ✌️
The original is dated from 1849 if not mistaken.
Totentanz means Dance of the Dead
Dance of Death would be Todestanz
@@moritzvuckovic2220 well then the translation is off. Cause both German and Dutch translate this to Dance of Death. 🤷
Every one of the languages I used, even the French one Danse Macabre come out as Dance of Death, so yeah idk.
I mean, I wil admit my own German isnt great, so you might be correct, still makes it strange that every one of those translates to Dance of Death when using any form of translator.
I used those to confirm if what I said was correct. Cause I wasnt sure if it was Dance of Death or Dance of the Dead myself. 🤷
I’ve always wanted to build an efficient group slug deck and Rowan seems an amazing way to out in all the great group slug enchantments but you aren’t limited to any one card type.
3 simple things; 1-Totentanz is my next deck “I wanna build but will forever be a WIP”
2- love Murph from the edit zone correct little errors, a great inclusion. There are so many rules so even people who get paid to play out favorite game makes mistakes.
3- I’m sad Rachel and Jimmy didn’t mention this with Yenna; STICKERS! Give your anointed procession a sticker and now it’s a new named permanent so you get to make even more absurd amount of tokens with it. I have too many G/W or G/W/x decks but I might have to get another
Right now I'm building Greta, Sweettooth Scourge. I know she's probably not the best Food commander, but that makes it all the more challenging to build her. I just ordered Gyome, Master Chef for her earlier. Feel like he's good in the 99. I'm gonna have so much fun building around her! Wanted to build her when she got teased in the previews!
Victory chimes is generally a very underrated card. Take a look at it now if you're building a Hylda deck.
While I agree it is an underrated card, Victory Chimes really doesn't have any synergy with Hylda.
Yenna: first thing that came to mind is Totem armor to protect her.
Everyone is going on and on about Hylda and Eriette, but I'm more excited for Agatha. Lotta cool ways to build her and reducing ability costs can be pretty strong.
rowan scion of war seems so fun to play as a commander
Love the cameo from Murph!
Was JUST about to make my first mono black deck, but honestly the new priority is deciding between, eriette, will, or rowan!
My favorite commander from this set is eriette, I'm a bit suprised she didn't made it to the list but I will build around her for sure. Great video anyway, always a pleasure.
Don't worry, we'll cover Eriette in the next Commander episode!
Hylda goes infinite with an Intruder Alarm, Fate stitcher, and mana dork like ornithopter of paradise.
Tap an opponent's creature, pay one with a dork to make a 4/4, untap Fatestitcher and dork, and finally profit. Infinite 5/5s assuming you pump the team after.
Hylda of the Icy Crown will be going into my Rhoda, Geist Avenger // Timin, Youthful Geist Commander Deck. I'm Super excited
I have so many random life gain cards from trying to build that archetype that I’m definitely going to try to build Will, Scion of Peace.
Time to get ready for the command zone effect! Cards are gonna skyrocket in price thanks guys!
Talion is my favorite! But I think Eriette has some flavor with curses, too ^^
Glad to see my boi Krondy getting some recognition!
I'm building my own Ellivere. Aura tokens is such a clever design move. It solves the problem auras have always had of getting easily X-for-1'd.
Love the record scratch murph cut in
Why wasn’t black market connection mentioned in the Rowan deck surely that gives a possible 6 mana reduction every turn as well as other “value”
Black Market Connections is so good in so many decks that it stops being worth the mention, but you're right! It is especially good in Rowan.
Fun fact about Yenna, if you have a way to Flicker the original enchantment, you can activate Yenna in the same turn and then return the original enchantment. So instead of 2 copies of a single enchant, you can have 3!
I think something you guys neglected with the new Will is how broken he can be by focusing on burst lifegain and alternative win conditions. Laboratory maniac and a 'draw x cards' spell can be really insane with alhammaret's archive, for instance. You mentioned Aetherflux reservoir which is an obvious include, but also throw Steel of the Godhead and Light of Promise on Will to swing an unblockable 50/50 commander at someone. Test of Endurance is suddenly very achievable in this deck, since you have counterspells to stop its removal. Same with Felidar Sovereign. Glad you guys mentioned Approach of the Second Sun, but I feel like you missed some of the really fun potential win conditions that Will can easily get out!
I am planning on making a budget build of Hylda. Another white/blue deck to play alongside my Kwain deck.
We need to see Rowan vs Will at Game Nights or Extra Turns ideally both.
I threw together a stack of cards for Hylda already! My meta loves to run creature heavy decks so freezing all their stuff is gonna be great! (Also I feel like snow lands is a must!)
I’m running hylda with ojer taq in it. It’s amazing when you can make 3 4/4’s for one mana
Talion and Rowan are gonna become cEDH commanders so ya they are crazy
Imodane also does crazy stuff with Grafted Exoskeleton. Just poison all your opponents for very little effort.
Interesting that Murph jumped in for the Anointed Procession correction but not on Talion. Their ability says choose a number, and the Magic rules say that the only numbers in Magic are integers (no fractions, imaginary numbers, etc.). So you need to pick 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10.
yep! came here to say this.
Calix, Guided By Fate is a staple in the Selesnya enchantress commanders you featured.
I was so sure Eriette would have made an appearance in this list! The ice queen is strong but it must be so annoying for the table!
Since I see that nobody has commented on this: no, you can't choose a non-integer with Talion. Anything that asks you to choose a number requires an integer. (See rule 107.1a.)
you use Eriette of the Charmed Apple front and center in thumbnail, but then don't have her on the list...
No Korvold, Gleeful Glutton?
He'll be in our next WOE Commander episode!
This is probably win more, but Precursor Golem (along with twinflame and heat shimmer) are pretty cute additions to Imodane. You can pretty straightforwardly 8x the damage of a single burn spell to each opponent.
Already built my Rowan deck. Compared to the other decks I've seen brewed, it doesn't seem like I know what I'm doing at all 🤣
That’s such a flex, “did it today at lunch” just casually blowing up citadels 😂
Black Market Connections full send with Rowan, seems good.
in a will deck, one might consider Chaplins Blessing. 1w gain 5 life which reads. 1w all spells cost 5 less
Sterling Grove can be multiple enchantment tutors as they sacrifice themselves. Making the card a "nonbo" for only a short time.
Rachel content 🙌 also I think I’m too old to understand this Role mechanic, I’ll stick to my Ashling 😤
Hi. I'm a long time player and fan of the Command Zone podcast. Rachel Weeks is imo a genius level deck creator.
That being said, Instill Energy in fact allows creatures with tap effects to use them immediately. Reprints and errata corroborates this.
Blogatog says otherwise. The oracle text specifies they can attack as though it had haste, but does not give it blanket haste. Most recent errata from 30th edition also limits it to attacking.
markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/183352439718/i-have-a-question-about-instill-energy-it-readsf
"Enchanted creature can attack as though it had haste"
Not sure how that could be any clearer
I love this content!
Love the content
Eriette is my pick, but I'm a bit bias because Magali can't miss on her Orzhov commanders, and she has hit on back-to-back enchantress commanders. Anikthea in Commander Masters, and now Eriette in WoE! Lastly, Eriette + Light-Paws = game over for any of these other commanders.
I want to build totentanz and will most off of this list. Those are probably 2 of my top 3 I'd want from wilds of eldraine (1st is Agatha, which I already built)
Hylda resembles my first Standard deck that I did not even know how to play. Maybe it’s time I give freezing effects another chance 🥶
Run rite of consumption with wall of blood - nobody expects a black fling for mortal damage!
Imodane is neat but I think most people will use it wrong like they did with solphim. The defender will choose the order they take damage on multiple instances of damage increase, sometimes not relevant but if you're good at math you should be fine.
Immodane could probably have some pretty cool stuff going on in a Feather deck
I feel like rowan could be good with a small aristocrats package to gain back the life that you lost to be playing the spells for free mana without even needing to use life
Much prefer the format of just chatting about commanders you like.
Look into the makemark cycle from Guildpact. They are auras that effect all enchanted creatures you control. Green and White are not that great but I love the Black and Blue effects.
With the red commander stuffy doll plus pariah shield with any doubler what I then plan to do is add helmet of the host plus radiate
Imodane also wants a ravaging blaze for when you really need one of your opponents dead.
Did I hear a reason to run Lava Axe. That can't be right.
Nylea’s colossus is so good in gylwain, play a creature double target creatures power and that creature probably has trample from gylwain too
Oh man, Totentanz is my jam!
How did you guys not talk about Eriette of the Charmed Apple in my opinion, that’s the most powerful commander to come out of the set
Finally a Faerie cares Commander ! Woohooo ❤️😆
No eriette is a bummer. Reverse enchant sounds cool
Don't worry. She'll be in our next WOE Commander episode.
"Totentanz" is the German word for "Dance of Death". He may based on the Tale: "The Pied Piper of Hamelin".
There are so many cards in this set that will be played in edh
