Cut-Rate Commander - Precon Upgrade Guide for Riveteer Rampage & - Henzie "Toolbox" Torre from Streets of New Capenna #MTG # Streets of New Capenna
The best hired thug from Streets of New Capenna has taken our job to helm out latest commander build, where he'll be leading a horde of big creature to blitz out and generate us value as they hammer themselves against our opponents.
In this build, we’ll be refining the base build ability to use and abuse Henzie’s blitz granting and cost reduction while doing so by filling it to the brim with high cmc creatures with potent ETB, ATK/DMG, and Death triggers to make the most of it - using them to come down hard, hit fast, then replace themselves when they get saced. And alongside our big creatures, we’ll of course be running plenty of death payoffs and sac outlets to get even more value they sac themselves away or we sac them for even more value, in addition to ways to get them back into from our grave to hand or field permanently to continue the onslaught again our opponents until there’s nothing left of them.
Let me know if the comments below if you agree with my choices and/or what you would add to the deck instead. Also, let me know know who you would like to see next by voting on in the comments on the three choices of commander listed at the end of the video.

Grazzet, you are a boss! Love your videos, all of your upgrades make total sense. I am a returning MTG player (12 year gap) so I am way behind on all the new cards. I am also new to Commander so its hard for me to build better decks on my own. I have already upgraded 2 decks with your videos and love them both. My personal favorite is your Urza, Chief Artificer upgrade. I even sprung for a few of the more pricey cards and the deck kicks major ass now! Keep of the good work sir!
Firstly, welcome back to the hobby after so many years! I under stand completely how daunting it is to come back after a long hiatus (I came back myself during War of the Spark after dropping the hobby during the original Mirrodin block), so its good to see that my builds are being used as a starting off point for new/returning players.
Speaking of, glad to hear that you've been enjoying the content too!
I go away for a long weekend and come back to see not one, but two new videos! Can't even keep up anymore :)
Better to have a backlog than be stuck awaiting for new episodes I guess! Figured I'd knock these out as soon as I can since we only have a month before Commander Legends 2 drops next month - so enjoy the extra content while you can!
I know I'm very late but a list in a Deckbuilder just for the swaps would be awesome and not the entire deck since most people watch this video because they own the precon 😅
I like this quick and easy upgrade vids of yours! Keep it up dude!
And pls do perrie next pls!!
Glad you're enjoying the builds! And the Perrie is coming out on 5/14 - so stay tuned!
Some really cool picks here I didn’t think of. You may have missed a few in the sorcery area I specifically looked at haste graveyard to battlefield options to supplement blitz because graveyard to hand is slow. To that end I went with Olivia Crimson Bride, Cauldron Dance, Wake to Slaughter, and Nightmare Sheperd. Blitz Olivia lets you redo a spicy blitz or hard casts just fine. Cauldron dance lets you put a haste from hand and graveyard and keep a thing to use a second time for 6. Wake gets you a blitz and yard to hand for 5. (Minus the card draw but this deck has plenty) and nightmare sheperd is very broken bringing back a second etb on a 1/1 and even keeping a 1/1 henzie on the board is great.
Cool suggestions! Getting the creatures back on the field certainly makes it faster, so I can definitely see these slotting in to help speed up the deck.
Very nice content have my subscription !
You had me slightly worried it was Saturday and I missed my alarm clock 🤣
True, its not often that I drop extra episodes, but if figured I would do it this time around so I don't spend the next month and change going over the precons.
Nice decktech man!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
World Shaper is actually much better than I ever thought. Works with fetch lands, works with Gamekeeper, works when your opponents play wheel / discard/ mill. Last time I put 6+ lands in play and took over the game.
Temur Sabertooth bounce is situational, but great if you really need to replay something in a pod with graveyard hate, infinite mana combo with dockside not withstanding. In my case, when Henzie gets up to 9 mana, I prefer to bouncing him instead of letting him die. The KND 4 mana red dragon that gives 3 treasures is also decent include. Play for 2-3 mana, get 3 treasures.
Glittering stockpile won me 2 games so far. People ignore it because '3 mana rocks are bad' but if you play it early, it's a surprise dark ritual / seething song. Somehow always draw it early, always sack it for 3-4 mana.
PS this deck is begging for a fling effect. I'm also going to ad reliquary tower because i get too much draw and it's sad to discard to hand size.
My first play of this deck had me thinking the complete opposite of Temur Sabertooth, Rain of Riches, and Glittering Stockpile. Glittering Stockpile allowed me to use Rain of Riches every single turn. Temur Sabertooth allowed me to bounce creatures like Etali that had amazing upside every single turn and prevented anti-graveyard stuff from killing my value of recursion.
Interesting. In my testing, Glittering stockpile and Rain of Riches never got played in the same game together (never drew into them at the same time) so they were much less useful individually. And Temur Sabertooth, while definitely a good card, didn't really contribute to the recursion/reanimation sources we already had in the deck, so was ultimately cut for another value creature.
Still, if they work for you, play a few more games to make sure they feel good and by all means keep them in if they do. And thanks for the feedback!
Well, congratulations, Grazzet. You have made the scientifically perfect deck for riveteering people in a good way. Suffice it to say, testing will be REAL fun!
Now let's see... I have claimed my first choice, and then my second... eh, let's keep things flavourful and see if you can make a better Riveteer Bullies deck than Jimmy Wong.
Day 266 of waiting for the face reveal of the great Grazzet himself. What are your thoughts on New Capenna so far?
Glad you enjoyed the build and thanks for the support as usual!
I've been enjoying the new set so far - lot of solid commanders, the completed set for the triom's, and lots of mechanic;'s to playa round with! I've got to be quick about it though, since the new Commander Legends is right over the horizon - so we have to enjoy New Capenna while it lasts!
Wow, feels early this week! Excited to get your suggestions.
Yeah, dropping this and a few other precons early to try and get through them before too long so we can get back to our regularly scheduled content. In the meantime, you folks can enjoy the more frequent content for the next 2 weeks!
@@GrazzetMTG Completely understandable and appreciated! Hope we get to see a Vazi or Mr. Orfeo build from you!
I would like to shout out greater good as an option for this deck, you can use it to sacrifice your blitz creatures and draw even more cards. Sude note, cutting grave hate like riveter charm makes me itch, but that's just me.
This is the precon that I picked up! I got it mostly for The Beamtown Bullies.
It's kinda funny, but according to the game rules, Henzie doesn't actually work as intended. The issue is that Henzie only gives the Blitz ability while it's being cast. This technically means that the Blitzed creature doesn't get haste or the draw ability, but it does get sacrificed at end of turn!
The Beamtown Bullies are certainly a unique commander and I personally can't wait to brew around them!
Regarding the rules, I did hear about that but haven't been following it too closely. I'll assume the WotC will have to make some adjustments to their ruleset to accommodate for this, if only to make it easier to template abilities like this in the future.
Hi, sorry can you explain this? I'm not understanding the problem and i thought that i can blitz every creature (cmc 4 or more) and give them haste and draw then sacrificed. Sorry for my bad english!
@@enrienri1815 it's a pretty strange rules quirk because of how Blitz works in the comprehensive rules. Henzie only gives the your 4 cmc creatures blitz when it's on the stack and not while it's on the battlefield. The haste and card draw ability of blitz only works if the creature has blitz while on the battlefield, but the sacrifice trigger is created as part of casting a creature with blitz. The result is that you actually end up with a creature with all of the downside with no upside!
I found out about this from the Judging FtW CZcams channel
@@crovax1375 thanks a lot for the explening, now i understand!
@@crovax1375 judges at my locals rule it correctly regardless of wording.
Hey Grazzet! In the upping the average for toolbox, the host refers to "sneak attack" decks. Do you think he referring to the legacy deck or is there an archetype of edh deck called "sneak attack"?
Do you have a breakdown of how you tagged your cards for the breakdown?
I love video thank
Glad to hear you liked it!
warlock and bard classes are pretty damn good in this deck as well
if leveling bard class to 2, toolkit can just come out with just a black mana in the beginning of the game, with the ramping power of the deck, its not an issue to get bard class to level 2
warlock class itself when u sack your creatures or die from blitz, ur opponents get hit by 1 dmg
and the best part of these two classes, there cheap to cast as well
Warlock class: 1 black mana
bard class: red and green mana
Good suggestions! I didn't think to add these but they seem to be good includes!
@@GrazzetMTG with the bard class, you get the toolbox discount summoning, all of the low low cost of one black mana, insanely good!
OH i would also suggest Ranger and Druid class. since ranger can give u a 2/2 token wolf, level 2 put a 1/1 counter on attacking creature, and at level 3 u look at the top of ur deck at anytime, and u can cast creatures from the top of the deck as well.
Druid: any land you put on the field you gain 1 life, level 2 u can play an attentional land on ur turns, and at level u can make a land as a creature with haste with */* which equals the amount of lands u control. those are the best classes i think that can work every well with toolbox
@@supersalty_9459 Less keen on these 2 classes than the previous 2. Ranger class's level 3 is the only that that really help the gameplan - which is great since we can blitz creatures of the top - but it takes 8 mana to get there (and there are options like Augur of Autumn and Vivien, Monsters' Advocate that fit the build better) - while Druid is only a ramp piece for us who's lands matter payoffs don't really help us too much in this build.
I really like Bard Class, seems a lot better than Myth Unbound as a way to allow you to reply Henzie from the Command Zone. I'll keep that in the back of my head whenever I'm looking at a RGx commander now lol
Quick question: What would be the best cards to sub out in place of the additional upgrades?
*I've ordered all the additional upgrades*
I would swap out the following:
Thriving Bluff >>> Rockfall Vale
Thriving Grove >>> Deathcap Glade
Thriving Moor >>> Haunted Ridge
Path of Ancestry >>> Ziatora's Proving Ground
Deathbringer Regent >>> Ryusei, the Falling Star
Vorapede >>> Atsushi, the Blazing Sky
Baloth Null >>> Junji, the Midnight Sky
Clone Shell >>> Kokusho, the Evening Star
Charnelhoard Wurm >>> Mikaeus, the Unhallowed
That should work without changing the mana curve too severely.
Hope that helps!
@@GrazzetMTG thank you so much
What would be replaced for Mikaeus?
Charnelhoard Wurm
Wait, Mikaeus the Unhallowed is $30+? Am i missing something? Or is it because people play it in edh?
ye he is a op combo piece but also a zombie
He's a fairly popular piece in EDH with his boardwipe protection and he is a zombie, so lots of zombie tribal deck like him too. Unsure about other formats.
@@GrazzetMTG i see. Makes sense, thanks
@@Eisenwulf666 he is used for infinite combo shenanigans
I might sound dumb, but can you blitz a creature from your graveyard
If a card lets you cast a creature from your graveyard - for example: Chainer, Nightmare Adept - then yes you can cast it for its Blitz Cost. Otherwise no (unless the creature has an ability that lets it built in, like Tenacious Underdog).
Hope that helps!
@@GrazzetMTG Thanks, but some people still tell me it's not possible, seeing as blitz isn't "casting" but using an ability
@@calibur5786 those people are wrong
I saw this commander and thought to myself "what if i make a blitz eldrazi deck" and scared myself
Yeah, blitzing out Eldrazi is quite mean but oh so satisfyingly!
ᑭᖇOᗰOᔕᗰ
I don't get the reference - sorry.
