this is probably the most complicated deck you have ever made mitch lol
Golos as a whole is a headache with the complexity.
You had me at "72 lands"
Remember Everyone: “Once the triggered ability resolves, the ability will continue until you either exile a nonland card with converted mana cost 3 or less or fail to exile any nonland cards while performing the process. You can’t choose to stop receiving the blessings of Demonlord Belzenlok any sooner.”
Amazing. Love it when they do this with the rulings
Knowing that he was around during early Nicol B / elder dragon war years, makes him the oldest canon demon.
He was an old fart, but the "most powerful demon" was said to be Withengar, but the fact that we can never see the demons fight interplanetary means we might never know.
isn't ob nix older?
@@Alikaoz I thought it would be Ob Nix.
@@crimansizers5840
We can't be for sure, so far, of Ob Nix's age.
He found the Chain Veil and that could have been a while ago...
The Chain Veil is very old, but I don't know if it goes back to Ur-Dragon days, but it might!
We probably get that answer when they develop more story for Shandalar & the "Raven Man."
isn't gix older (gix was around during the fall of the thran empire, and before yawgmoth took over phyrexia)
I was not prepared for this.
But that’s Tactic #1.
@@MekanikKommandoh88 and #2.
I just built a Johnny, Combo Player deck with Thassa's Oracle, Leveler and 97 islands, and now you put out basically the same deck but in my favorite color.
Looks like I'm making a second OTK deck.
Tuxedo Tom shouldn’t you use mana severance instead?
@@Aphidae see, I would have if I knew it existed two weeks ago.
97 lands the deck you're describing makes no sense, how do you find anything with just lands in hand? Luck turn 23? not much of a Johnny more like a hope to be lucky.
@@AndukeMTGEDH the commander is the uncard 'Johnny, Combo player'. who lets you tutor.
Mitch: "so one could build a belzenlok deck that have all cards costing more than 3 mana and actually die in the process. This would be really janky hahaha...unless...?"
My main issue with combo decks in general is that they lose their fun factor pretty quickly, which is why it's great seeing low budget builds for them. You do the Lord's work in deck building, Mitch.
Ever since Belzenlok was released I've wanted an Elder Demon Highlander deck, now I can build it! Thanks for turning a terrible commander into a terrific highlander!
I LOVE your combo decks.
And btw, level 1 judge here, the carrion howler operation is legal. Great work.
That is one of the coolest builds I have ever seen.
Mitch..... you are a content KING my guy!
Belzenlok is the spiciest commander. I knew this deck tech wouldn't disappoint.
Love the new layout showing how the cards work when playing then!
I’m just waiting what will happen when I build this deck and use it in my commander group.
So basically we're playing magic-solitaire?
Basically . When it comes to winning. But there’s a lot of variables Mitch isn’t covering in tactics 6-9. Counter magic, boros beats, opposing discard effects, etc. but overall like most combo decks, as long as you get your mana rocks out early and the opponents don’t counter them or strip mine away your land fetch lands, it’s magic solitaire 🎃🤖 pretty cool deck for $50✌️
As awesome as this deck is, i doubt its long-term usefulness. ;-)
It will be banned from any casual table because of its sheer power, but to be viable in cEDH it seems a bit too vulnerable. Typical glass cannon. ^^
But I love how Mitch manages to turn jank into gold time and again! 👏🏻
@@hoppeltrottel7484 I disagree. It will find its place in local game stores, since there are people who do build some serious power decks that ARENT good in cEDH
I like expectation subverting decks like this. This much spice at almost 50$ is one heck of a deal.
A friend of mine has a deck like this. I don't remember the exact combo he uses but the key pieces are the same.
Is he using Mikaeus and Triskelion or going infinite with Necrotic Ooze? I personally use Mike and Trike but apparently the Ooze combo is more resilient.
@@JCave-br8ss I've only ever seen him play it once, I don't remember what his wincon was, unfortunately. I think it might've been M&T.
Okay, I've been playing this deck for about a year now and I feel like the combo I play is a hell of a lot easier.
You discard five cards to Skirge Familiar 2 of them being Mikeus and Trikelion, and then cast Living Death, and you know the rest.
Jake C. Mikaeus ain’t budget though but that definitely is a way easier combo. The price you pay for budget is a whole lot of thinking.
@@kuro_nogazaki The simplicity is worth the 20 bucks
That's how mine does it too and it's so much easier.
The spice is strong with this one...
Absolutely fantastic deck tech! I dont know if I'd ever play it but a very cool deck regardless.
If someone comes at my table, says that they have a budget deck and then comboes out in a convoluted way (like this one)... i will congratulate them and have SO MUCH FUN watching them doing what they need to do!
When you just browsing youtube and you somehow completely forget a video like this exists. ‘72 lands’ made me check this again ha
This card was my first mythic that I ever pulled. What makes it even better is that it was foil. It's been sitting around for a while but I think I might have a use for it now
okay. this seems like one of those "you do it once and you'll never get to do it again" type of deck. i love it.. you got a new sub.
You are right about Carrion Howler. By paying its cost, you put the ability "Carrion Howler get +2/-1" onto the stack and you can always hold priority after putting a spell or an ability on the stack to do something else. Since the ability hasn't resolved yet, you can do it again, over and over, until you put that ability onto the stack any amount of times you want to.
So, I'm pretty new and a lot of my friends play powerful EDH, I built your Child of Alara/Gates Deck, found more not-so-budget-friendly cards, bought a couple, traded away my foil borderless demonic tutor for quite a few others, and am still not winning. A lot of them go infinite turns/infinite draw/infinite Mana by like turn 10-12, and I'm buying this, keeping quiet, and pulling it out to surprise everyone. I hope this works. Thank you, love watching your videos.
Did it work? I'm curious
Damn I don't even know what to think about this deck it's so cool. Feels like this could even become a competitive level deck
Just a not for non budget: you can also combo with triskelion and mikaus the unhallowed
Came here for ideas on how to ramp while limiting my CmC to 4 or greater.
Because I'm building Kaalia, and thought Belzenlok would be fun to get value from.
Was not disappointed!
Ouch. Think I burned my mouth with all this spice 😉
Really cool deck Mitch!
I love how in depth you did this deck
Really appreciated the combo explanation :)
For many years I've been teaching my friends the power of Skirge Familiar with great success. Most of them have learned to fear it and a few others have begun using it ever since. Easily one of the best cards in the game.
I play a DLB deck that is VERY similar to this list, and is borderline cEDH ( it wins turn 4 pretty much 80-90% of the time ). There are 4 key cards I would recommend adding if anyone wants to power up the deck.
1) Either of the Eldrazi GY shufflers.
2) Gary
3) Crypt Ghast
4) Whip of Erebos
So I literally have this Deck.
Like same idea same concept. I just want to let everyone know 2 things. Its fun the first 2 or 3 times and then its meh.
But also once you show people you have this deck. You are going to get targeted down first and fast so you cant cast Belzenlok EVERYTIME.
Just 2 things to keep in mind before you spend money on this
The title is very scary 😱
As I have a good portion of the deck already, I'm stoke to build for the next time I get play commander with my group! I always wanted to have a conplicated deck to pilot and you gave me the perfect deck possible. Thanks Mitch!
Recently I fell in love with my Niv Reborn deck. Just having him enter the battlefield and just refill my hand. Now that i found out I like commanders like that. I really want to build this commander. And this combo looks really fun. X.z
Spiciest build yet, Mitch! I love it!
Beautiful... absolutely beautiful. You forge decks with masterful, arcane skill my dude. May your baubles always fare your way
YAY, FINALLY BELZENLOK ONESHOT! I love this deck. It is some kind of strange one-shot semi-competetive combo deck and this is the lite version of this :D
Thanxs this is awesome, I think I'll make it but modify it to use living death to summon a hoard of massive demons
A combo deck without blue? Is there any way to protect the combo?
To clarify: I can see this deck destroying friendships in a more casual meta, but doing nothing when your opponents play enough interaction in their decks. Or am I wrong?
I do love me some budget commander combos!!
This is probably one of the coolest deck I've ever seen, I want to build it so bad
I was gonna build a different budget deck of yours, but this is my favorite deck you've made so far. 72 lands is ridiculous. And I absolutely love it. I am really exited to see what other jank you can come up with
I think lotus field would be a good fit too. With as many lands as you run it should be worth the risk and it seems like it could a great way to lay in the cut since there aren't many ways to abuse it in mono black.
I also really like Demonlord Belzenlock. I played him in my Jodah big stuff deck. I usually drew like 12 cards of him. Hilarious.
Great deck teck!
Also, Kevin; Take a breath bud. Its a marathon, not a race.
Counterspell
Oh wow I remeber seeing this deck being played before and knew it was bound to come here . Guess today's that day
I'm instantly building this deck
This is a really creative and cool combo deck. Kudos!
Crazy combos that players make like this are so impressive to a goblin-brained player like me lol. Impressive tech Mitch!
This is A very nice Belzelok deck but there are A couple things I would like to point out.
this deck and decks like it just die to removal. A well timed removal spell can kill you at the following times .
-In response to casting Empty The Catacombs someone removes Skirge Familiar.
-Countering Gary
-Countering the Empty The Catacombs
-Countering the Dread Return
-Countering the Repay In Kind
Any of these things can stop the combo and this will kill you because you have no cards left in your library
and any lose of life that can bring you below 23 life can stop you from casting belzenlok. it is not hard for A table to bring you to 25 life in 5 turns especially when you have no blockers for the first 4 turns. I understand that Deadly wanderings is in this deck because it solves this problem but you can not rely on it even if you aggressively mulligan for the card. this is why the deck is surprisingly hard to pilot
adding A card like Dread to the deck can get you A couple extra turns for you to piece together A win if you get stopped.
if you want A Belzenlok deck here are A couple links to some more persistent decks that teach you haw to play them.
tappedout.net/mtg-decks/miketrike-demonlord-belzenlok/ tappedout.net/mtg-decks/one-card-combo-demonlord-belzenlok/
if you cut out the non-basic lands and the non-combo cards and replace them with swamps you can make these decks around the $50-$60 price range.
Note I did not create these deck lists.
this kind of deck is on the power level of A low CEDH deck and this might get some people upset with you when you win the game like this in A casual pod. you might want to start the games off by saying that the deck is A combo deck and you can win out of nowhere.
Relax.
Imagine a combo deck that gets blown out by counters.
@@andrewberesford4055 the issue is not that the Counters stop you
the issue is that they kill you
Magus of the mirror and soul conduit are solid includes on the cheap and kind of a backup strategy just in case you lose too much life and don't have repay in kind
I don't need a fourth mono-black commander, but this is hilarious.
belzenlock is a pretty cool commander
Fun deck tech, has everything i like, black mana and demons. Do a budget Pramikon deck tech.
Number one: scary fucking deck... I love it so much!
Number 2: if someone wanted to upgrade the deck and had the means I'd suggest adding sanguine bond, exquisite blood, and Krark's thumb.
I am pretty sure it is way more fun to build this deck, to learn how the combo goes and maybe play it out ones or twice. Sadly after this, I guess for most people it will become boring quite fast.
I feel like this is just a fantastic way to set up Triskadecaphobia.
compilcated deck
suprised ad nauseam is not a reasonable upgrade since its a alternative to belzenlock but even more risky heck you can get even more mana from the skirge that way
I love how this and your Maelstorm Wanderer decks were essentially "alright, that seems like enough lands. I feel like I'm forgetting something...
Oh shit, I forgot the combo pieces.
Well, let's toss something in the pot and see what boils." A.K.A. land tribal.
I have been pretty janky with my krrik led demon tribal commander but I'm thinking of ob nixilis unshackled instead
What the actual insanity was that combo... jesus
Mitch.... You are an evil genius.....
Literally.
Sweet combo. I think Whip of Erebos is a reasonable upgrade over Deadly Wanderings.
Yes, you can pay life to activate it again since it uses the stack
I would love to see a deck for Nebuchadnezzar!
I never knew that belzonlock could combo it is so cool
Always wanted a tech on Belzenlock
Yeah, my favorite color to play in EDH is Mono-Black, and 'Elder Demon' is so damn cool. Just personally not interested in this kinda build cause it's the kinda thing that like, it's either a win-pretty-much-the-same-way strategy or lose-cause-countered.
Combo deck, love it.
Convoluted. I like it !
Another brilliant build
Almost the same with Maralen-ad nauseum deck with extra steps(and cheaper).
this deck looks super crazy, but it might be fun xD
I HAVE THIS DECK!! LOL that's awesome. been playing it a long time, it's quite a spectacle!
It's a shame that skirge familiars are basically non-existent in Australia....I'd love to build this deck, but the availability in my country is pretty bad
I have a deck like this with but helmed by Merelen of the Morning for an ad nauseum combo
More demons? Like Vilis, broker of blood? Or other demons?
Glacial chasm is such an underrated card in edh
I think i actually might have to build this deck
I’m kinda confused, what do you do if your opponent doesn’t have a forest?
same here
You planning on making a storm deck Mitch?
This deck seems to fragile, but so explosive. As someone who comes from Legacy, seeing Opps All Spells, Manaless Dredge, and other janky combo deck cards makes me wanna build this. Also, the number of wtf cards compared to commander staples, will probably steal a free win, at least the first time.
Yes, we all can just see play with power episode with this deck))
I love this deck
Very interesting wind condition.but I would assume that after you play this deck a couple times in your play group they will catch on to this tactic and what if somebody counterspells one of your key pieces? Are you screwed for the rest of the game?
I just joined a league and only have a janky mono red aggro deck and a vito gain life opp lose life deck but was wondering how you vets feel about demon tribals? Can they win or is it too risky?
What in the everloving necropotence fuck dude?!
Sick combo! ^^
The next mostly lands deck i want to see a tech on is Jolrael, empress of beasts
So April 1st is coming around the corner, and I was thinking...
Wayfarer's Bauble Commander deck tech?
Hello ^^ I know I’m not a partreon or anything but if you could do a sydrie calvanic genius deck it would make me really happy
So nothing against your channel (I'm subbed and I dig your stuff) but I have a question... Are your channel and channels like yours good for the MTG community? Yes, I think you do an awesome job, it's great that you do deep dive on cheap/affordable decks, you do think pieces, etc but also everytime you or another major MTG channels do a video on card(s), the market prices tend to rise. With the market prices rising, it does make it harder for people to play EDH b/c it makes the game a little less affordable.
Like everytime that the Command Zone does a game knights video, the commander that wins tends to see a spike in pricing along with other cards that had a major influence in the match... I honestly started to noticed it after the Kozilek deck that Ashley ran in that video. Kozi spiked along with other cards.
I have no ill will against any of yall but I was just thinking "Does the positives outweigh the negatives? Is there a fine line to walk? I am just seeing things? Seeing Correlations where there really aren't any?" and I just wanted your thoughts on it... i feel like you've talked about this before but I couldn't think if yall have done a video on this idea yet or maybe I'm just imagining that you've talked about this before
Great googly-moogly!
Well SOMEONE’S been watching Playing with Power ;P
Wouldn't Dark Sphere be helpful in this?
Doesn't belzenlok effectively mill you out, or am I missing something?
Can we get some gameplay with these deckd every now and then instead of just deck techs? The techs are neat and all, but they get kind of repetitive and boring and I know I would love to see some of these combos actually take action before I build the decks.
Man, I wish Marrow-Gnawer was anywhere near viable as a mono-black deck.
I built Marrow-Gnawer as a rat tribal. Cards like Relentless Rats (whose text says you can have any number of these cards in your deck) and a Thrumming Stone make for some beefy, menacing rodents. Almost won a tournament with it.
Have an idea for a "free* summons" deck with cards that let your opponents bring cards from hand to field w/o cost (Tempting Wurm, Hunted Wumpus), but also control cards (Lavinia, Azorius Renegade) to prevent it. Any advice?
