"Show me on the doll where the Tribal decks hurt you."
*points to his heart*
You can’t rate a deck D just because it’s tribal
Facts. I'd love to see one of their decks take on a fully-powered Ur-dragon deck I'd bet they'd lose in 0 seconds flat.
Isshins my first commander since coming back from a 8 year hiatus. He’s a badass.
Lol I feel you bro. I bought a bunch of attacks trigger cards and now I have 4 different decks for him. Surprisingly versatile
every time i sat down to play a "creatures matter" deck it always got "blown up" and everyone seemed to always somehow have a board wipe of some kind when they needed it. Not even Winota could operate. But, when i'm playing a combo deck and there's a whole other player playing a "creatures matter" deck suddenly no one has any board wipes as the "creatures matter" deck dominates the table.
Hey just been working on a deck with him, and got something going I haven't really seen other places. So hear me out and tell me what you think.
Isshin Equipment Voltron prioritizing assault suit, so he can trigger all the equipment permanents you control on him for when he attacks, or another creature you have equipment with an assault suit.
On top of that you goad him so he has to attack each combat regardless of another player controlling him.
You don't get your double triggers with it, but you get to trigger your equipment literally on everyone's turn.
@@user-ww3pd2rf1b that's the type of shenanigans we like
@@user-ww3pd2rf1b if an opponent controls him wouldn't they then get the triggers from the attachments on him?
As an avid Prosper player ill tell you now that he isnt respected enough. A at least: card advantage, ramp, significant keyword in deathtouch and 4 toughnes makes him a good blocker as well, and all at 4 mana. Cards good. Also going to reiterate that treasures are broken and wizards loves it. From a Prosper player, thanks wotc
I hesitate to call his treasures "ramp" as you're really not gaining any mana, like Birgi, it's kinda like discounting your next spell, but only once by himself. What's your typical win-con?
I disagree with a lot of these placements. My main gripe is that just because its a tribal commander doesn't mean you only have to run that tribe in your deck. For instance in my gishath deck, i have a way to make a few 4/4 angels on every turn as well as created flying dinosaurs. Stack the top couple cards of the deck with your best dinosaurs and swing in, tutor for teferris protection the same turn or the turn before swinging in and you can nearly or win the game the next turn.
Bro flying dinos?! Awesome how?
So we’re playing jank…
@@anthonyb.7340
●Concerted effort and any flying creature you control
●Odric and a flying creature you control
●Luminous broodmoth
●Eldrazi monument
●Dinosaurs on a spaceship
@@isaacholstein6530 i had to look that last one up just to make sure its a real card.... dinosaurs on a sapceship?
@@anthonyb.7340 IKR!! Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.
Prosper is amazing. It is an A I don’t even play him but a person in my play group does and the deck is optimized and goes crazy
52:56 actually Korvold is the A and prosper is a B
Krenko and urdragon being that low is absolutely wild.
Path to exile at ur dragon goes brrr
@@aidendaley9065I mean I'm less mad if you path it instead of swords.
But he still makes every dragon cheaper. That's why i would put him bit higher
Krenko and ur dragon is easily dealt with the cheapest interaction your wallet can afford. In krenkos case if he never reaches the table you don't have a deck. And there are better dragon commanders the ur dragon.
People calling Miirym "Miriam" like he's some Polish grandmother with outstanding perogies always cracks me up.
I doubt very much it's pronounced MY-rum either, like Mitch does. I say ME-rim.
I consistently win with Krenko on around turn 3-5. I run a very competitive list and there is a lot of room for variance but ranking it D is absolutely insane.
It’s still only mono red. On a table with most likely three other blue decks running low mana interaction your not doing nothing. Stop lol
Blue farm laughs at Krenko. You have potential, but only when the board doesn't interact with you. And at that point, congrats at being good at playing with yourself 😂
Um who are you playing? That is so easy to counter, ineract to, or board wipe.
@@kruegs3362You're seriously comparing a s tier cEDH commander deck to Krenko with that cringy profile pic? Your counter magic is cute in all but you are going to need the react with other players and if that game goes long you're going to learn the hard way that goblin tribal doesn't need the commander to win unlike your deck.
@@vfreeman3188 He's replying to OP who said he runs a "very competitive list" so why wouldn't he compare it to his s tier cedh deck? If you claim your deck is super competitive don't be surprised people bring out the big guns lol
I've been waiting for a video like this. Very cool =)
A lot of people in Brazil watch your channel, congratz bro.
Edgar Markov in C tier is insane
Exactly. Our group doesn’t even play him anymore because they’ve never lost with him
Top tier aggro for sure. Unlike Isshin, you can't stop the swarm. Control Isshin and it's not much threat, but the Eminence on Edgar means endless vampires, unstoppable. I've also never seen him lose at my tables.
Go-shintai being that low is just wild to me, I love him as a commander
The Lathril deck straight out of the box is super powerful. I did some of the normal upgrades like triumph of the hordes and upgraded the mana base, but I think I probably swapped like 5 or 6 cards. After playing a couple games I decided to swap in some cards to make it less optimized because it was so OP. Now it's pretty fun to play with, but before it was too fast.
As a Krenko Goblin player I am sad to see Krenko to be at a low ranker I just love how simple he works can be build casual or high powered.
I agree. When krenko is on board, you need to remove him or board wipe or the game us over in 4-5 turns. That's not a D tier ability.
Take some solace in the knowledge that they got Krenko's ranking COMPLETELY WRONG
On a table with three other most likely blue decks running cheap interaction it’s easy to rank a moon red creature based strategy low. Krenko is good but definitely not top or even near.
@@davidzamora8342 so youre saying you need 3 other blue players to team up to stop krenko, proving how powerful krenko is lol good job
I think it's more so that it's mono red, and once stopped it runs out of steam. Doesn't mean krenko isn't powerful, but if you remove him most likely you are out of the game unless you got sac outlets to make red mana or treasures. @@kylethompson7641
Wow crazy you guys are featuring 5 commanders I play in EDH😈👍🏼👍🏼💯
I'm feeling more motivated than ever to put together a Mirrym deck, that's what I'm taking away from this video lol
I love my Miirym deck
She's ranked appropriately. She's insane when left alone, but a wrath or two can slow the deck to death. Glass cannon, and without her on board dragons feel clunky.
gitshath was my first ever deck and i took it from you lol i modified before i bought it. it is now a very power full deck with the new ixialan and some "pricier picks"
I would agree with most of these aside from Lathril, miirym, and Prosper. Well all know Lathril and Miirym are in A and are lightning rods for a reason. Now an argument can be made prosper should be on S but minimum A.
I promise that soon you guys will be adding the ixalan gods to the list. The red and white ones especially are wild once they come online
With jodah you can put a lot of these guys in there I added random things to it and it still works
I am building an all pretty art Jodah the unifier!!!! I love the card and am soo excited to see new cards to add and swap lol
I recently made a midrange goodstuff Jodah deck. It’s great
Jodah gotta be 1 of the silliest cards printed. Just throw in Legend creatures, it does good. Throw in Lgnd creatures that care about other Legendary permanents? Game over
@meyeneetuks4680 absolutely!!!
Ranking every tribal so low is just delusional.
They clearly have a bias.
Clearly. These tribal commanders are bonkers and have tons of support.
And yet compared to other commanders they come up short. Tribal is not the most efficient even among casuals.
@@timothymiller4475 This makes sense. Having a tribal deck limits you, so to speak.
Nobody plays Nekusar anymore at any of my local tables. No matter the downside, giving your opponents cards makes life tough.
I think ranking the commanders lower just because their either mono or tribal is a poor take, but either way great video :)
Can't wait to try out atrexa the unifier as a commander
As a Miirym Player. I believe that Old Gnawbone and The green token doublers make him broken.
No astral dragon and cursed mirror is what makes Mirym broken.
I don't play with Doubling or clones, because if you weren't already the archenemy at the table, you absolutely will become it, and the deck can't typically keep up with that much attention.
as a person that used kallia you people are one of the issues with commander, you think tribal is bad, when it's not. Kallia is still athreat kill on sight commander.
I've whiffed with dino commander 3 time in a row 21 cards!!! Was the funniest sht ever
I really like Patron of the kitsune and Patron of the Orochi. I think both of these are highly underrated.
If you want all your friends to hate you, kaalia + master of cruelties
indeed, one-shot people if kaalia remains unblocked :)
my prismatic bridge deck is a superfriends deck called jankfriends I also put cards in to give me more upkeep steps So I get multiple triggers of the bridge
Prossh Skyraider was my first real powerful Commander Kinda Surprised it is not here but well i guess it just wasnt as popular
I am offended lol!!! Lathril was the first commander deck I made and is super optimized now. Not CEDH, but it's amazing when it pops off.
Hatred is a nasty card to play in Optimized Lathril, particularly with commander damage rule 😂
How come you don't do the shows where y'all play commander anymore? I loved those shows!
i own a prismatic bridge deck and it rolls my best friends Kenrith deck during our Thursday magic nights with all our friends- Think you just need to play some Doors of nothingness and progenesis, and timeless lotus, makes the games pretty goofy.
So we’re playing jank…
Would be nice to have omega of all of them
I think Ratadrabik of Urborg should be on this list. The ring tempts you mechanic just makes him so busted. In the fastest win turn 4. While easily average turn 6 if not answered
Krenko is what you think of when you think tribal commander? Not Sliver Overlord? Weird.
Go Shintai placed at D? Whattt??? I love my shrine deck. And no mention of K'rrik? He is my #1.
Yuriko at s tier is insane she super resilient and moderatkey fast but that's it
Almost impossible to contain her, and can do insane table damage while providing huge card advantage in combo colors. I think S tier is right for a TUNED Yuriko (at least her ceiling).
I basically grabbed all my favorite legendary cards and put lands in and made the most powerful deck I own with Jodah
I think the main problem is that you consider tribal aggro without good combos or alternative wincon, here's an example:
Markov and Wilhelt are damn good aristocrats decks and with optimized tutors can win easily vs miirym or isshin that based most of their strategy on combat damage.
Other commanders like kaalia also do great at cEDH events recently so she's a safe A tier.
For my cEDH experience krenko is an A or at least B.
Kenrith is SO versatile, glad he’s an S tier. My partner recently made him a curse commander which was… interesting
I love Gishath and The Ur-Dragon. Some of the best creatures in my opinion.
Good video from The Commander
What would you rank Golos if it was not a victim of the infamous ban?
S+. It is straight busted.
20:15 my favorite deck is ghalta primal hunger lmao I'm definitely clear on this vid
Having built, played, or played against almost all of these decks, Prosper is absolutely an A-tier.
P.S. Really, why is Crime Novelist an uncommon???
Just bought that card for my Prosper deck.
Prosper is, out of all my decks, the most consistent one. Def an A Tier
I played at a table last week where we rule zeroed that it was modified precons. I added maybe $100 of card changes. Dude was running Isshin and argued it was still a modified precon, he just modified 97 of the 100 cards...
He ended up getting salty for boardwiping him and scooped 🤭
Master of the Universes Beyond…. Yes please!
For an all time best commander list I'd like to see also Najeela, Koma, Animar, Omnath, Urza, Zada, Narset, Jetmir, Voja etc rated.
Voja is way to overpowered
Well I play only Tribal decks.. so Weird list to see this, also Khalia and my Gishath in D tier loool
I think putting Kaalia in there but not Winota is a bit curious, IMO Winota is just the far better power crept version of Kaalia.
Mana curve for Miirym is a nonsense argument, cause clones average 3-4 and when every creature in the deck is also Miirym it sure snowballs fast...
One explosive turn and sometimes I end up unsure what to even do, like when I have 20+ mana and no cards to cast. It's not too often that I get Klauth and Ventmaw out at the same time, but it happens.
Who here also plays Arcades and is salty because on the particular day they gathered this data, Nekusar overtook Arcades for spot #20 by just a pinch, making Arcades not on this list?
isn't the Krenko deck more of a combo deck than a straight goblin deck? I know my cedh Krenko is straight combo with goblins being the tutors etc. turn 2-3 wins is pretty nice.
Pantlaza is better than Gishath in the commander slot for Dino tribal.
I haven't played against many Dinopantz, but I don't recall the last time I ever lost to Gishath.
GISHATH IS THE TRAMPLER SUPREME S TIER
Im a new player, In my playgroup, the most experienced guy we have told me i can't use prismatic bridge as my commander because its an enchantment and that i was only allowed to use the front side esika because she is a creature, and im only allowed to have creatures as commander or something.
Nah you can most assuredly use the Prismatic bridge part as the commander, it's because it's a modular card
Ur-Dragon with shapeshifter is the way to go
Sisay Weatherlight is SOOO underrated. She's my commander in my Ur-Dragon deck with Jegantha as my companion
Only one on the list I have a deck for is Esika.
1:01:20 as long as they don't explain why other cards are not banned, we can only assume wotc and market collusion
Oh look, it's the Commander AND sub-Commander
how k'rrik son of yawgmoth would rank in here? and agatha of the vile cauldron
agree with K'rrik for sure
Krrk is like a low tier cedh commander, but still competitive so i believe S tier
Someone should tell wizards to change the eminence rule to “you must have the 0 cost artifact with shroud, indestructible, protection from anything that says you may not have [eminence card] as your commander without this card in your 99 and you may play eminence card” the idea being no one can remove the eminence artifact from the table, you can’t play your commander without the eminence card on the battlefield, and you have to have the eminence card in your deck to play. Seems to really balance out the over powered nature of eminence.
Where would Myrel, Shield of Argive be? I guess higher since has Grand Abolisher plus create infinite tokens.
Definitely not S, but maybe A or B?
How are you creating infinite tokens?
I dont use any of the commander made cards. Same deck since rise of eldrazi. Haven't lost whenever I decide to use. Rafiq is the commander that rarely gets played
I think the data is pretty skewed, being only focused on the most common/popular commanders. I value EDHREC as a resource, but it also becomes a bit of an echo chamber when people only push attention to what others recommend/what is popular
U did Miirym dirty bro at B, she should at least be at A.
Glass cannon. She's A at best, but D when she's not humming. Unless you build in combos, you're just a battlecruiser weak to most other decks.
Have you guys played against Prosper? Prosper is an easy S
Can gishath compete even with the new Dinos?
How did Urza, Lord High Artificer not make it into this list?
Presumably it isn't popular enough.
Oh, I misunderstood. It wasn't the top 20 popular powerful commanders it's literally the top 20 popular commanders.
@@ShinnyMetal they took the commanders from most popular commenders in edhrec then ranked them by power level.
I’m sorry but you got Krenko completely wrong and all of the comments defending this placement are saying that he sucks because you can board wipe or remove him which is true of every commander. Not to mention if you are forcing your opponent to play board wipe/removal decks or else they lose, I’d say that’s a pretty strong commander…
And korvold at S tier, wtffff
Not all boardwipe kill every creature you know that right?
@@Worldly_Pitfall3 sure, what’s your point though?
Plz make a deck for massacre girl plz I got her and really want a primarily assassins (commander) or don’t
She's not a top tier deck, she's a one-trick pony good against aggro tribal. The Assassin's Creed set should be fruitful for assassins for you!
Playing my yuriko with copycards like sakashima or helm of domination. Can be very funny. But i would rate Atraxa S or A, for only 4 mana the value is insane. You go for a creatur based build with +1/+1 tokens, Planeswalker or Poison. Or just all at the Same time.
Yea idk why she is that low. Atraxa is still #1 commander for like the past 4yrs
@@meyeneetuks4680#1 most commonly built! Not #1 most winning deck!
What is cdeh?
You obviously haven't played against many Jodah decks. He's an S+ easy. Hope you play white and have a Teferi's Protection in hand when they drop Urza's Ruinous Blast
Just counter it 🤯
What are the most powerful non cedh decks? What could that mean?
Or rank the commanders in power assuming they are all 7’s 🤷♂️umm.. they tie.
If you are ranking in terms of power not cedh power the answer is “the ones built most powerful are the most powerful”. That’s it. Show over.
Rant out of the way, I do like you two guys a lot and Mitch sorta inspired me to build on a budget so I will be watching and prob liking but I have to say this entire concept just literally is a philosophical non starter 😬. Sorry.
Love you
Namaste 🖖
I think you missed Etali, the card is absolutely insane especially when you add blink and copy effects.
Krenko is not D-tier in my opinion... but also not super competitive.
It just feels like krenko folds to boardwipes and generally targeted removal. The deck is mostly build around the commander and if krenko isn't around it's playing a bunch of goblins that won't do much.
In 1v1 krenko can turn on the heat because with only one opponent he's less likely to die and he just needds to overwhelm one player. There is the occasional fire start with sol-ring and turn 2 krenko but thats unreliable and more of a proof that sol-ring is busted. And in 4-player? Someone is going to play a sweeper or just kill/counter krenko and now he's six mana and you REALLY need haste.
Golos did nothing wrong.
Krenko is to low I have an optimised yuriko korvold and mirymm deck that struggle to win if ever against my friends krenko , you get an early haste enabler it's over
Good list but I'm wondering about a few commanders that are ommitted:
Kinnan
Urza
Talion
Tivit
Godo
Tymna
Rograkh
Najeela
Etali
Kodama of the East Tree
Selvala
Thrasios
WInota
Sisay
failed to read the "popular" part...
Shame I think some of the tribal should be higher, Wilhelt is strong, you dissed some of my favorites 😢
Wilhelt has limited combo options even Ur dragon hs access to more combos. Also a Wilhelt deck isn’t known for getting a turn three win unlike Kenrith or Yuriko
@@Worldly_Pitfall3 well tbh i dont care about winning t3, i should if guessed this was a list for cedh, which i dont play
Krrik didnt make the list eh? Powerful, post malone..i mean
If you can't keep Kaalia on the battlefield, you're doing it wrong. S-Tier all the way.
Zombies would actually win over vampire hands down, bring your best vampire, and I bring my zombies, and we play for keeps vampire can't be cast from the grave, zombies can
Edgar Markov deck would run over a Wilhelt deck they have access to infinite life combos and lifeless combos
@@Worldly_Pitfall3facts, but in this tierlist both don't get the respect tehy deserve, Markov and Wilhelt are not combat only commanders like isshin and can win the game by phyrexian altair combo before miirym hit the table.
But zombies are typically weaker on board, and lots of vamps can scale better than zombies (and also fly). I've played both Edgar and Wilhelt and the former felt way more powerful.
I don't get how you say all tribal commanders are d tier and then you have jodah as an A?
Not very sharp are you bud
Really you don't think jodah is a tribal commander wow I guess your not sharp either bro
@@kvdxx6603jodah is tribal… just legendary tribal
Orvar?.....Orvar?.....Orvar?......
This seems like a meme rank system.
No sliver?
How tf did Wilhelt get so low?
I lol’ed watching this video. I disagree with almost every choice but then I play Cedh so it’s hard to understand your mind set.
After watching this video, the only logical conclusion is that neither of you have actually played commander.
No Kinnan is silly.
I understand this is a universally held belief so not knocking points or anything however, I must say that I've always found Miirym to be much more valuable than Korvold: It feels like another Aristocrat themed commander but my guess is people much rather ultimately have Jund than Temur but even then I say there's at least as much value in having access to Blue as it is to Black since you can do a more-than-incidental level of interaction with Miirym but hey, survey says it's probably just me and people prefer Korvold.
#BlameMitch 😂🤣
Where is Vadrik?
y la de jugar se la saben????????????????????
isshin is A easy
