@ComradeVenus Yeah, that's what I meant, card selection. It's still a very good ramp option for creature heavy decks or just for value like another version of Mind Stone or Commander's Sphere on a body.
> Volo, Itinerant Scholar Yeah... Popular Entertainer. Such actually seems to be the best fit for me as well. There's bound to be stuff in my collection, and I keep feeling like I broke the Izzet curse, but... I don't know... I built Farideh collect-a-thon (even Ancient Copper Dragon) dice rolls, Glacian//Toggo landfall artifacts, and my top favorite blue-red bonkers brew, Alora//Tavern Brawler adventure spells, ...and... I like the idea of Yusri coin flips, Sakashima//Krark coin flips, or Zndrsplt//Okaun coin flips... but I still hate the idea of building an Izzet colored deck. I still hate Izzet, but both Commander Legends sets have me thinking I'm just inexorably distracted by Captain Jhoira, Niv Parun, and Locust God... and I'm bored to tears of every legend (both powerful and janky) outside of Neera (Wild Mage) and the commanders I built around... but I'm quite impressed... extra impressed in fact... due to seeing the potential in what may have been overlooked. I don't know. Maybe blue-red has me feeling finicky, but I'm guessing it's despite the spite at this point... since Volo//Popular Entertainer has me wanting to brew again, and I know I have most of the cards I feel I would need.
yeah Izzet is a tough one for me too! but I'm glad you might have found some inspiration here! I genuinely love the way this deck plays, and it allows for some super fun plays!
Beebles all of them all 3 legal ones if you didn't mention them. And spiny starfish is I think a slept on card because in theory if you could generate that infinite mana you could generate infinite starfish given you can regenerate as many times as you can pay that 1 blue mana.
oh my god i'm absolutely buying the beebles and putting them in here. also unfortunately that's not the case. when I first came across that card i thought that's what it did as well, but it technically has to be destroyed to regenerate it with it's mana ability. so no infinite starfish unfortunately 😥
Built this deck exactly like you said: got Volo and the Performer and then just went through my box of coomons and uncommons. My deck is completely different then yours. I took it to my LGS for Friday night Mtg and... won!
> Volo//Popular Entertainer ...and I got to scouring my collection to build him. I've added some evasion stuff n' junk like Gingerbrute, Goblin War Drums, Cloak of the Bat, Hot Soup, Cosmotronic Wave, Barrage of Boulders, and Gliding Licid. This has also given me the opportunity to run other fun cards (besides the aforementioned Hot Soup) like Shiny Impetus, Psychic Impetus, Goblin Diplomats, and Angler Turtle. Thankfully, I had spare copies of Kelpie Guide, Psychosis Crawler, Bronze Walrus, and Wizard Class. To fit similar purposes (and to use stuff both binder and bulk), I put in Jandor's Saddlebags, Second Wind, Crab Umbra, Tolarian Kraken, Body of Knowledge, Walking Atlas, Sphinx of the Second Sun, The Locust God (still don't like him though), Quickling (best faerie ever printed besides Moonshae Pixie and Nightveil Sprite), Tectonic Hellion, Dreamscape Artist, and Flamekin Herald. No Niv-Mizzet iterations in the 98, because Terror of Mount Velus is taking up my build's dragon creature slot, and my additional double strike sources are Lizard Blades (equipment lizard) and Berserkers' Onslaught. Since Popular Entertainer says combat damage, I was hoping to add more double strike dudes as well as extra combat steps (Karlach, Fury of Avernus).
Tawnos the Toymaker would be another great commander for bulk tribal. There are tons of janky birds and beasts.^^ Gotta get Donal in there if you go with birds though. Just play janky beasts and birds and have fun making tons of copies.^^ And, yes, I'm irked that's there's a commander that has actual synergy with Craterhoof Behemoth and I can't bring myself to put him in cause he's sooooooooo boring.>
Great video, but I'll dislike it because of the "kelpie guy".
LMAO fair enough tbh
I absolutely LOVE your style of editing and that you include your patrons in your videos.
thank you!!
Bronze Walrus is a great card because even if it gets blown up, it still gains you card advantage with the Scry 2.
precisely!!
Card *selection
Walrus doesn't draw you cards. It only sets up a better draw for when you do draw

YESSSSSSS WE LOVE TO HEAR IT
Also a deck that should justifiably play reliquary tower unless most decks where it's a pointless land that taps for colorless.
hundred percent! the tower is greatttt

i LOVE tawnos!! sucha fun opportunity to include jank and have fun. and hahaha i hear you!
Just recently discovered your videos. Great stuff man.
thank you so much! welcome to the channel :)
Prairies always hittin us up with the hidden EDH gems. Question tho… does Daddy Volo have Daddy Fog Bank in the deck?!? 👀
got you!! all you gotta do is check out that decklist and find out..
@@edhjankcenter Totally just realized your deck list is in the description box… 😅 Gotta give that jank pile some love babyyyyy
Would changelings work by allowing you to choose a different creature type each time you play one?
They are all creature types, so yes.
yep! i have a changeling in my list in the description! you can definitely add cards like taurean mauler too!
looks cool, but you don't have any boardwipes
im here for a good time not a long time
no but forreal thats valid, you can always swap out a few cards for a Blasphemous Act or River’s Rebuke!
