    Sigarda in most cases is ridiculous. All you really need is indestructible and then she is in your face and a serious problem. I have a Sigarda Enchantress Voltron. Easy to get going, fun to pilot, hard to slow, even harder to remove, with draw engines and playing multiple lands per turn. It can get very nasty, great devotion yields great reward indeed.

    I run a Zurgo, Helmsmasher Voltron by suggestion of a friend. REALLY fun, and definitely packs a punch. He's already such a great starting point with 7 power, Haste, AND Indestructible (so long as it's your turn), plus the fact he swings each turn FORCES your opponent to deal with the threat or die trying. Only played it 1v1 so far, but I'm looking forward to playing "Zurgotron" in my play group. Just as soon as my work schedule works in my favor...

    • @chrissmith2618

  • @samb123078
    @samb123078 Před 7 lety +7

    Cards that give you more combat phases, or better yet extra turns, allow you to shorten your clock. Relentless assault, world at war savage beating, seize the day etc are all great to kill players in two turns.

    • @Oridemos
      @Oridemos Před 5 lety

      Bins Wanger giving double strike is essentially the same thing and often times cheaper

  • @quinnheppe2959
    @quinnheppe2959 Před 8 lety +13

    I made an interesting Voltron with Yasova Dragonclaw where she takes creatures from everyone to help her attack or to block. I think it can be pretty good.

    • @evil_leeroy
      @evil_leeroy Před 6 lety +1

      Quinn Heppe I made a similar deck but used the taken creatures to sac. Combined with cards like treasonous act and act of aggression it gets pretty crazy.

    • @chrissmith2618
      @chrissmith2618 Před 5 lety +1

  • @MichaelR521
    @MichaelR521 Před 9 lety +3

    one of my favorite yet notably underrated evasion cards is Teleportal. while it is sorcery speed, for two mana you can get that huge amount of commander damage in to win the game. Its usually best in narset or shu yun strategies.

  • @jonathancollins8433
    @jonathancollins8433 Před 7 lety +27

  • @silentgrave17
    @silentgrave17 Před 9 lety

    I have a voltron Varolz deck that works slightly different from a regular deck as i scavenge creatures instead of just using equipment to deal big damage. However, I completely agree with the "scary" thing you were talking as typically it's me vs the table. Still though it's a lot of fun as it speeds up the game and it forces them to concentrate about their turns.

  • @emdub9679
    @emdub9679 Před 7 lety

    People thought my Mardu pillow fort deck was voltron because I like to use Urza lands so now I'm turning it into one. Thanks past J'n'J this is needed.

  • @GregoryGibbens
    @GregoryGibbens Před 9 lety

    Quick request for a EDH archetype series: I would love to hear and episode or two on Group Hug/Slug. Zedruu the Greathearted, Phelddagrif, and Braids, Conjurer Adept are a few commanders that come to mind, but I'm fairly certain that's not the extent of the format.

  • @kylesavage4525
    @kylesavage4525 Před 7 lety

    I have a weird voltronish/combo Narset deck where besides her having hexproof i use spells like boros charm (which can also give double strike) that protects not only her but my equipments/auras as well from board wipes and removal. Long road home and Otherwordly journey exile Narset and return her at the end of turn so she is completely protected by board wipes and edict effects.They can also exile a blocker if that's necessary if i don't have any evasive auras/equips on her.

    Instant speed evasion tricks for Voltron?
    * Power Matrix - Gives your Commander +1/+1, Flying, First Strike, and Trample until end of turn.
    * Key to the City - Despite having to discard the pros outweigh the cons.
    * Excavator - Give your Commander a landwalk ability based on what basic land you sac or any basic land type with Prismatic Omen.
    * Nature's Blessing - Similar to Power Matrix except your Commander can gain a +1/+1 counter or Banding.

  • @GeekandGlory
    @GeekandGlory Před 2 lety

    I am currently making a Jorn, God of Winter Vultron deck. Jorn wants to attack anyways to untap snow permanents, might as well suit him up so he doesn't get killed and gets in that damage. Plus I don't think a lot of people expect Jorn to be Vultron. 😇

  • @dsweet5273
    @dsweet5273 Před 9 lety +2

    I think the biggest drawback to voltron commanders is the fact everyone knows immediately what your gameplan is. I find the best way to try and overcome this, is to have several other creatures in your deck that can be "voltroned up" if youe commander continually keeps getting handled. Creatures with double strike or infect are perfect for filling this role.

    I play atarka voltron 8D flyi g trample double strike for 12 damage without a single buff? I'm in! Also, it looks expensive, but you have stuff to work around it. Like dragonspeaker shaman, zendikar ressurgent etc. It's very easy to have her out by turn 4-5 and start swinging. And you can kill someone in 2 hits.

  • @blackdragonepic
    @blackdragonepic Před 9 lety

    Don't forget Nahiri on the voltron strategy! She might not kill a player on turn 5-6 most of the times unless you get a really good draw, but She'll always make sure you have a creature to equip things to while giving you free equips, she protects herself with tokens. If your precious equipment gets destroyed she can pull it out of the graveyard and if the game goes long you can end it with a +5/+5 double strike indestructible weapon.
    I also don't need to say why having nahiri and a skullclamp on the board or a mentor of the meek scares people.

    Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the “vox populi” now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, van guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
    The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
    Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honour to meet you and you may call me Voltron.
