What do you think? Did I surprise you with anything? Any decks you want to build now? Any hot tech you think I might be missing in my decks?
For Giada: To tutor out Gisela and Bruna "War of the Last Alliance" does an amazing job as well :)
Do Zada and Mirrorwing enter an infinite loop of spells if they are both on the battlefield? Or copying a spell does not count as casting?
Because the copy that either one makes, will "only" target the other if chosen. Am I getting something wrong? :)
Curiosity + Niv-Mizzet Parun = big combo…
Nice, but these are these his only decks?? No part 2?? Most players have at least twice that many. Also, why would he take apart his norin? Seems like such a unique different deck with cards that dont go in other red decks. For me, when i make decks i try to use as little “staples” as possible so the deck is always unique and plays different from most other decks
random idea ofc, but start having a vote for viewers to interact with to choose which deck out of the list they want to watch played next on either extra turns or game knights
There’s probably around 10 lands in this whole episode
That's an overall trend I've noticed with the Command Zone crew tbh. They're definitely fans of the low mana curves and thus lower land count philosophy, more so than average commander players
It's funny because he always gets mana screwed... 😑🙄
I'm just learning sarcasm
@@lqmayock1 keep trying buddy, you'll get there 😊
And they’re all coming from other peoples decks using pako
🤣🤣🤣 BEST COMMENT!
I hope this continues with the other members or guests of the command zone. I wanna see Josh's deck list next. I bet each dech has at least blue in it
2 non red decks. I'm really proud of you Jimmy for trying other colours!
I suggested he go boros 🤣
Staying that red is very impressive
Prediction: Wow that’s a lot of red
Prediction wow so few lands and so many tutors
You were right only the last one didn’t have red
Giada also did not have red :)@@Blu_Moon_Owl
@@Blu_Moon_Owlthere was also the third to last one I think it was? The mono white one
@@Blu_Moon_Owl [[Giada, Font of Hope]] and [[Samwise Gamgee]]
98% of jimmies deck touch red, always a red player at heart
Red fun
that’s so he can throw wheel of fortune in every deck and make it cost an extra 250 dollars
Red good
Red fun
Red go boom boom on bad guys
-Me, a Red player
I'd love to see Jimmys decks preform the way he explains if he ever got mana 😂
Now that's a video I'm interested. Jimmy's decks are always fun to watch
Been waiting for this since Rachel's episode. Would love one where the crew members and friends talk about a deck or two of theirs.
I know there’s a lot of content but this type of podcast is the best!!!!!!!! Love Jimmy, love hearing about the personal decks of the crew!!!! Keep it up we appreciate it!
These videos explaining your decks and the videos where you draft a type of card are by far my favorite episodes from you guys right now. I know these videos are long, but I would love to see someone else in these videos talking about the experience playing against the decks. Keep up the good work! ❤
I really enjoyed this deep insight of all Jimmy's decks. Lots of them I didn't even know about. Thanks to Jimmy for taking the time to prepare and record this and thanks to the office for editing the video. The Command Zone remains the best !
I’m only like 15 mins in and this is already one of my favorite episodes. Love ya Jimmy!
FINALLY!!!! I’ve been waiting for this series to continue I am so excited!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU! Can’t wait to complete the set and see everyone’s decks!
Please do more of these! I find it a great source inspiration for new commander decks to try!
I absolutely love this series where the whole crew explains and ranks their commander decks. The Rachel video was awesome but I was really looking forward to Jimmy's ranking and here it is!
Please keep doing these types of videos! Love seeing what the favorites and the personal brands are for everyone. Would love to see what everyone runs, and this was a great video to watch. Gave me some ideas for future decks that's for sure!
I built a Farmer Cotton deck and an MVP in that deck is Inspiring Statuary and it would probably go really well in Samwise as well. Tapping your artifacts to quasi-convoke, especially if you are sacrificing the tokens mostly anyways, is extremely good value!
I have a UB deck built around Mechanized Production and with Inspiring Statuary that tries to spam Servos to win, it's deliciously useful for counterspells and for casting Fabricate creatures super fast. Definitely love that card
Cant wait for everyone of Josh’s decks to be flash speed lol
I wanna see these for all the staff! I'd love to see the creativity of the staff behind the scenes
Love this! I wanna see other members of the Command Zone team do this!!
Always fun to see different deck concepts. I run Miirym as well but I took her copy concept and multiplied it. Panharmonicon, parallel lives, etc.
Can I just say I love this series so much
Love these! Keep it going. I think one thing that would be neat is our you showed off certain printings of cards or proxies/alts you’ve added to the decks to personalize them.
Your decks are all really cool thanks for sharing gave me a few ideas for adjustments in some of my current decks
would love to see y'all go through Damen's decks. some of them are so gnarly and impressive in action!!
I have an Ovika deck I recently built with Magnus in it so really enjoyed that deck breakdown because it showed me a few cards I should include! Definitely needs to be tuned up in terms of missing stronger early game plays, reliable card draw/ramp and protection for Ovika.
YES! Can't wait for more of these episodes.
Really like your commander choices!
Kikar, Bullies, Miirym and Marchesa are decks I had in mind to build some day and look fun as well.
I may really build them once I'm done with my current stuff 😊
Hey, that's a great concept, happy to see it continue. A pretty honest concept, where the person talks about his "works" (decks) and I hope everyone does not goes hard on them for whatever reason.
I'd really like to see Damen's decks. I've seen a couple of them in action and they're always terrifying and well optimized.
I remember Jimmy brought his Pako // Haldan deck during his trip to the Philippines during Conquest 2023; that deck is quite the beating and his win came out of nowhere!
Also, Jimmy, if you happen to be reading this, I was that Najeela-Jegantha player you saved hehe I hope one day we'll be able to play again~
i'm loving the new thumbnails, much more clickable and i can actually tell what the vid is about now just at a glance. keep it up!!!!
Hearing Jimmy talk about Miirym, reminds me I have that in Morophon deck I made with nothing but legendary creatures, and my fave combo with Miirym is Cryptic Gateway, you play a dragon, get a copy, then tap both to play another one, and with Intruder Alarm, they won't all end up tapped.
Love this format and would like to see more of this! Beamtown bullies in A tier is rough
I like how you go more on a tematic direction with your Sam deck, as a matter of fact, I have an Aragorn the Uniter which only has lord of the rings creatures and the coolest way to win with that deck is having the Fellowship of the Ring swinging for the win!
Those are some Awesome Commander Decks!
Thanks Jimmy and the commandzone team for producing this video! Jimmy's deckbuilding philosophy really resonates with me, casting your stuff and trying to play a board in a certain thematical way. We dont win many games as a result, especially in tables with tons of interactions where our key pieces die and we cant really win the game easily with our game plan as well, because we're trying to get a certain theme off or its just too much overkill at that point, but boy oh boy does it feel good when you get an army of angels or dinosaurs or dragons or tokens on the battlefield!
My favorite of the lot is the Pako one and i'm definitely going to build it! Thanks for that one Jimmy!
This was fun. Thanks Jimmy!
I'm gonna build these. Hopefully I don't get mana screwed. Love you, Jimmy!
Just replace a few cards with lands 😅
im SO SO GLAD this is back!!!!!
I’ve been waiting for more of these since Rachael’s video! Love the decks Jimmy!
I want to see Damen and Jamie’s stable of decks. From what I’ve seen in other videos they have a creative take on deck building.
I just now found out about Beamtown bullies. 🤯looks like alot of fun!
I started playing Commander after I watched Jimmy play Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca in Game Knights #14. Kumena was my first deck and it is still in my rotation. Now I am up to 36 decks. One in each color combination and the four Doctor Who decks.
I also build one after watching that episode
Absolutely love this video!!! Need 1 for each crew member and guests
I like these videos especially for new players to learn that building and playing commander decks (for most people) isn't all about winning or using the most powerful cards possible.
Notice how many times Jimmy talks about how fun a deck is to play rather than how much it wins as the reason he will keep it or not.
Jimmy, bless his heart, will never lose hope in actually drawing lands on time.
The sleeve for Miirym has the Doge picture on it. Good work Jimmy.
Finally!!! Been waiting for another one of these!!!
I love it when the command zone drop a vid
I’ve been so excited for this video ever since the Rachel one dropped
I wanted to build pako and haldan in cedh already, cool to see it here.
Love This series! Want Mr.Infect next!
"It'll keep me warm this winter - cuz I'm gonna burn it"
Nooo Josh 🤣🤣
Amazing vid. Hopefully, we will get the same style for the rest of the team
I have a Beamtown deck too. A fun interaction I did not see in yours is Thornbite Staff with Bronze Bombshell. It allows for killing the whole table at each opponents Upkeep. Since they have to sacrifice it, it goes back to your GY and thornbite untaps Bullies. Rinse repeat.
That is a fascinating list of decks. It was also interesting seeing the glances of the deck lists in the video and the land counts. You run a fairly low land count for a lot of your decks, from what I saw. But that might have to do with the curve of those decks. Either way, I learned a lot watching this episode. Thank you for sharing!
you’re likely not counting MDFCs which take the landcount up to 36/37 for each
Great job Jimmy!
I did exactly what you’re talking about with your Angel deck. I had a Lyra Dawnbringer deck and converted it to a Halvar, God of Battle deck. (Flavor win having a God as a Commander of Angels. 😊) Anyway, I noticed I had a bunch of cool Swords in a binder and made an equipment deck with mostly Angels for creatures. Other flavor wins are Brass Squire and Sram, Senior Edificer. A couple of non-Angels I use are Stoneforge Mystic and Phyrexian Vindicator. The card that I always want to see in my opening hand is Sigarda’s Aid. For a mono-white deck, it’s a ton of fun to play.
Really love your playstyle, Jimmy! Very similar to mine.
just realized I truly am a Jimmy, considering how many of these decks I have in common or was considering building myself
Dude. Jimmy did 90min solo. No water. Legendary Human Podcaster. Blam-0!
These are the best videos! Keep them coming please!!
I really wanna see Murph and Jordan's decks. I wanna see everybody's decks, but those two are at the top of my list.
I often enjoy videos like this, it's always neat to see what other people are excited about, sometimes I end up liking the same thing (I love bad Stax decks so nobody likes what I like except the certifiable-but-not-so-crazy-they-can't-play-EDH demographic)! For me no deck is truly complete until it has an associated soundtrack, it's always fun when you can find a really good fit of song to deck.
Dang, I was really looking forward to seeing how he ranked the Brenard, Ginger Sculptor deck 😕
Me too, along with Shadrix Silverquill. That and Brenard were two of my favorites I saw Jimmy ever build and threw down with in games of Commander for Game Knights and Extra Turns respectively. They looked very well built.
Basically they are 85 cards because he puts the same 15 in everysingle deck.
Hello Jimmy ! I really like the concept and execution behind your Magnus the Red deck! It reminds me of my Gandalf the Grey deck!
A card I would suggest to you which is amazing every time is [only if the play group is ok with it] Seismic Spike! Targeted land destruction isn't MLD and is necessary at times, the spell refunds [R][R] of the mana which could be a 'Free Spell" in your deck if your reduction is high enough. Give it a shot and let me know how you liked / did not like it!
11...."current" decks ! FULL POWERrrrrr ⚡️. Rock On Dudes and Dudettes! 🤘🦁🤘
Really glad and happy to see a second installment of this after Rachel showed off her Commander Decks, now we got Jimmy showcasing and showing his. I do hope Josh is next in line, or the infamous Mr. Infect Craig Blanchette himself. Regardless who's going to be third in line up next, I very much look forward to it 😎
Super fun. Thanks
I have a Marchesa the Black Rose deck myself, but play it entirely different. I use graft creatures and creatures that naturally enter with +1/+1 counters and abuse Marchesa's ability by sacking my own creatures to ping their life away with things like Syr Konrad or Stalking Vengeance. Cytoplast Manipulator would be great for you though. It can add counters to creatures when they ETB and then also steal those same creatures with the counters that you just gave them. Sac engines like Carrion Feeder, that add counters to themselves are also a must!
I first started watching Jimmy Wong on Rocket up’s VGHS
I LOVE THESE PLEASE KEEP EM GOING.
Kykar, there are mass summon white cards that also board wipe. Sure you have to pump a lot of mana into them, but they can also be a win condition.
I've never seen Mana Seism before but I think it might be exactly what my Vadrik, Astral Archmage deck needs. It's always looking for ways to cheat out just a little bit of extra mana until you can get one of the combos going, at which point you no longer need lands
Your Beamtown Bullies deck is incredibly fun to play against, and super scary. But it's such a different play experience going up against it and it completely switches around the political scene og a commander game. i love that
Yayyyyy i love these commander deck showcases
Love pako haldan, i've had to limit the ammount of extra turns/combats and evasion in the list cause games were ending to early for our tables liking. The 3 mana 1/1 counters enchantment from ixalan in bluegreen which flips into pumping X/X and giving flying has been a huge standout for just ending games
Funny how jimmys kykar deck looks extremely similar to my feather deck 😅. I laughed when he mentioned he was considering cutting it, cause for me it’s the entire deck.
I play raggadragga on arena. Missing a lot of the pieces that you can get in paper, but I was considering building it for a time (I like building it on arena to kinda play test it). Fun cards in that that i play are sylvan awakening and ashaya soul of the wild
Hello, Jimmy. That's an awesome collection of decks. I was surprised to see all the different strategies and the Samwise Gamgee deck seem so cool. I was surprised to NOT see.5 red dragon decks in there😂😂😂
Great episode Jimmy!!! I'm actually going to attempt a version of your Beamtown Bullies deck :) I used to run a Blim, Comedic Genius and many of these cards will fit into this deck. I still run Inniaz, the Gale Force for more donation fun times in Azorius.
Oh Jimmy I’m so glad you built beam town, I really just needed 1 more Jund deck 😂
those are some nice decks jimmy and im glad these are coming again since Rachael's
anyway this is brutal i am going to do the Beamtown bullies deck but the catch is "Codie, Vociferous Codex" (you can donate codie himself to a player) is gonna be the commander instead and its more in general donate spells and gifts because i do ocastionally love to see the looks on peoples faces with stuff like this.
Anyone else remember a little trading card game called Middle Earth The Lidless Eye? It was not super popular but i really enjoyed it until it just sort of fizzled in the 90s. Of course magazines were the go to place to find all our magic and ME cards.. aol wasnt even a dream yet. Ahh those were the days!
You have a Beamtown Bullies deck let’s go. That’s why you’re one of my favorites Jimmy. Never change
Really, I would love to see the decks of Mr. Infect himself. We know the next is going to be Josh, and I like that also, but I always thought that the way Mr. Infect plays his decks, even when it's not an infect deck (like with a precon of some sort), he plays the most fun at the table, like Jimmy. A Jimmy-no-mana-screwed type of player :3
Love the vid, and I need to break my rule of only Lotr cards in my Lotr decks... That Samwise looks sweet with Jaheira... I need that!
Pretty cool that Jimmy and I play some of the same decks. 😎
Okay Jimmy, something that will help with Magnus: Kellermorph, and anything that helps you stock up on blue and pink horrors. The more 1 damages you can make, the more they get doubled.
Fun video! Again, again!
A really good card for Raggadragga to combo with your Marwyn/Viridian Joiner is Wurmcalling. Keep spend at least 7 mana on its buyback cost, use Raggadragga's ability to untap one of those dorks, rinse and repeat
Been waiting for the next one!!!
Top tier video/series
I'm new to MTG and I got quite interested in a deck which revolves around equipments, was hoping to find one in this list but maybe this also means it's not such a good concept to build on!
Voltron commanders can be amazing. I would look at akiri, Astor, or bruenor as commanders for boros. And Slicer if you are looking for a mono red superaggro style.
I really like your positive and friendly energy that you bring to the videos you are in. I was very interested in Jimmy's decks since your play style seems to be so different from mine. I was surprised it is only 11 eternal decks but i guess this on top seems to match your personality? It seems pretty red to me 😅.
I would love to see jordan and murphs decks, jordan i think is just an amazing guy building hilarious decks and murph is playing very technical decks and did great deck techs. But honestly your whole team is just great, do everyone's decks. I also think these episodes, talking about each others decks, are great.
I love these videos. So fun!
About pet cards, I've built a deck out of many of mine. I just wanted a pet card deck in gruul and I use the gruul Etali as commander. It is by far ny most fun deck as its so bomby haha. Alot of "WOAH" around the table. And it has no protection, just ramp, card value and finishers in various forms. Cards that double strikes, doubles strength, double or triple damage and so on.
Having to slim down the decks I have myself. It's so painful. I feel you mad. One of my new favorite Henzue "toolbox"Torre is awesome, but glissa the traitor well never be dissembled.
I love your decks, they are great. I have 6 decks, but they are cheap I'm just starting mtg, I don't have the staples use. So right now just having fun learning.
i have a Neheb deck as well and it's also one of my oldest decks.
it's by far my most powerful deck. the fastest it can win is probably turn 4.
