My apologies, Eddie sent the list and I forgot to link it! Here is his Rocco list for those of you asking!
Rocco: bit.ly/tcq_eddie-rocco

[@andrueurbane7361]

I really enjoyed this format with both of you offering different picks and supporting perspectives. I would love to see more of this.

[@Rikengames136]

You guys still doing close quarters? Enjoyed seeing the budget decks in action.

[@TB317]

Agreed. I LOVED CLose quarters. Those were honestly so entertaining and all the players in the pod were cool and personable.

[@nathanhier8751]

YES!! We need more close quarters ❤

[@theblart7535]

Loved close quarters!We definitely need more!

[@lookatthecomments9437]

Yesssssss

[@danielthomas2816]

love that u mention my fav commander Rocco when ever i play this deck every one goes omg he is f***en nuts and playing him with conclave mentor makes a crazy combo !

[@theblart7535]

Guys I love the episodes where you talk together. Make more of them !

[@chancex1014]

To agree with Mitch, I believe Wotc needs to tone back on “activate only as a sorcery” and start adopting what they did with urtet remnant of memnarch and have abilities that say “only usable during your turn”, that would single-handedly make willowdusk much stronger being able to use the ability during combat, but still not allow it to be used on opponents turns when they attack you.

[@jeffchatterton9515]

Legendary matters is super strong. I'm working on a universes beyond only deck featuring the 6th doctor and it's becoming super scary fast...

[@j0k1g]

Yeay!! More Eddie!!

[@MTGfiro]

love that video! would love to see more with budget decks

[@robertellis843]

Yo! its Eddie. We here you mention all the time that he taught you alot about scryfall searching. Whats the possibility we could get another Eddie guest appearance focused on scryfall searching? That would be awesome to me personally.

[@tylerwolf42]

Rukarmel is so fun...I like sliver/dragons right now.

[@NyxTheScary]

Would love to see a Close Quarters around these decks

[@eFKayKemi]

I love Rocco, one of my favourite commanders

[@moonwitch5466]

I’m working on a budget list for Snapdax

[@nickintexas]

Question: What search filters are you using to determine if a card is budget? When i normally look for the cards featured in your episodes, the price is significantly higher. I'm obviously not doing the search in the same way. your advice would be highy appreciated. thank you.

[@dustinthompson904]

Wish I would have watched this sooner cuz my friends and I are doing a 75 dollar budget challenge lol

[@MageSkeleton]

Thank you for the link to the list of all the cards mentioned, but i need to be able to copy/paste and i don't want to have to click on each card for their details just to do that.
Bilbo, Birthday Celebrant
Ghalta and Mavren
Inga and Esika
King of the Oathbreakers
Omnath, Locus of All
Ovika, Enigma Goliath
Rocco, Street Chef
Rona, Herald of Invasion
Rowan, Scion of War
Rukarumel, Biologist
Tazri, Stalwart Survivor
Will, Scion of Peace

[@nathones]

Hey Mitch, is there a list for Omnath you made out there?

[@AmateurHour_]

Take a shot every time Mitch nods 😂

[@tygiffin8131]

Can someone please tell me how to search for creature abilities for Tazri. I tried what Eddie suggested and I either did something wrong or it doesn’t work.
I’ve been thinking about building Tazri since it came out and would love to search all abilities but I don’t understand Scryfall most times.

[@Eddiegamer91]

What card were you referring to when you said "cycle of bolas"?

[@genozuzek7401]

Eddie! You ruined my life! I blame YOU! 😂😅

[@wolffrost7611]

I would like to start playing Commander, could you recommend some budget decks to build?

[@TeaGarrison]

The new pre-constructed decks from the Ixilan set are very good for “precons”. Your local game store may have them on presale right now but they officially launch on the 17th if the closest store to you is a walmart.

[@needleknight]

Bilbo puts all the creatures on the field because he is inviting them to his birthday party. Although Bilbo invited more creatures than is possible for a commander player because he invited 144 people (1 gross) and even more than that showed up.

[@gpwaltz]

I tried the Ovika + Rocks idea for a bit... It's viable, but I found that the deck had very little flavor. Who gets excited about casting mana rocks, really? When a much smaller portion of the deck is dedicated to things that keep you alive and drawing (creatures, sorceries), the deck just gets duller. And until she's on the board and doing her thing, the deck is at risk of doing very little. Feels like you need nine mana to cast her, plus holding 2 up for the Negate.

[@inspurid]

I did it with vehicles, so when Ovika is out the vehicles create their own crews. It's pretty fun!

[@gpwaltz]

tap Crashing Drawbridge, beep beep!@@inspurid

[@axiato5185]

In the books it takes seven years after bilbo leave to when the Nazgûl come to the shire.

[@DerrylHopkins]

I really like Greta. :)

[@thegrimmwolf481]

Hi Mitch hi eddie

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Hello there!

[@lancearmada]

Surprised Hylda wasn't on the list.

[@nontinteressamki419]

She's very annoying... That's why

[@BapuanFun]

Eddie!? THE Eddie!? IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!

[@FinalStanthony]

Where is the Rocco decklist?

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

My apologies! Forgot to link it after Eddie sent me the list! bit.ly/tcq_eddie-rocco

[@kwonsolo]

Hi

[@TheCommandersQuarters]

Hi!

[@ryanwood4263]

Rowan list?

[@williamrieske3105]

Add flash to Inga and she's almost impossible to remove

[@minine6508]

Eddie’s back LETSGOOOO

[@nataliepatalie3834]

Nothings to blame today but im blaming eddie anyway

[@jamesfilyawDigginGabe]

Why would I buy Secret Lair: Post Malones Christmas Album?

[@BeholdDog5341]

Supernatural Precon drop coming. jk

[@Booberly]

Dammit wheres them Close Quarters, all them decks and no pay off.

[@thriftypsgr]

Hylda is the cheapest deck I have built. All the tap creature cards are super cheap.

[@kylereblitz2856]

Regarding Rona, I like to focus on the backside. Just ask my wife.

[@dragonknite314]

Eddie is real?

[@coo_coo_]

i refuse to call it kindred. it’s stupid

[@tylerwolf42]

Tribal for life.
