Would you sell some signed wayfarer's bauble ? I mean, it's in nearly every single one of the deck techs Mitch !
That actually would be dope!
Patreon reward incoming?!
Haha I just may have to
I'd buy it
I would buy that too
Zedruu was my first edh deck I built. I had a lot of fun with that deck, other people didn't think it was so fun but, that's why I built it, it was for me.
And as long as you find it fun that's all that matters
@@TheCommandersQuarters absolutely. I understand the spiky mentality but, it's edh... It's supposed to be fun and insane! There's always modern for those spikes.
Yeah I can understand the slowdown cards may annoy some players. Thing is there's plenty of options in EDH to counter those effects.
Another interesting thing about Crown of Doom (and Zedruu decks in general) that a lot of people are already gonna be familiar with but I want to point out for those who might have overlooked it: A card's owner is specifically the person who brought the card to the table. They had it in their library at the start of the game. Which means that the two mana "Hot potato" ability can't be used to give it back to you, it just goes around the table when everybody's at low health, eating up their mana.
Pro tip: Sleeve your cards in a color that's very different than whatever your friends sleeve their cards in when using a deck like this (or a deck that steals lots of stuff for that matter). It'll make getting your cards back at the end of the game a lot easier. I prefer florescent orange over my usual jet black in this case.
if you give your spectral grasp away, then the creature will be able to attack you, just not whoever you gave the enchantment to
Themistocles, commander is political, having someone in your pocket is often more important than having protection from one creature. I imagine he probably was just pointing out that the card would be a useful one, even if you do give it away.
That is true, but i do think he overlooked that.
Yeah, did a search to find this comment. He literally says if we attach this [Spectral Grasp] to a creature and then give it away, nothing changes. But it completely changes. Had he been talking about Pacifism, he would have been right. Spectral Grasp, not so much.
He might mean that you attach it to one of your own creatures, then give /your/ creature away. You'd still control the enchantment, just not the creature.
A mistake on my part! My apologies
I'm running out of *DECK BOXES!*
Haha my bad
I feel your pain
Boulder
I've been watching for about a week now and everything you put out is great! I'm saving all my change for decks ^^ I love the spin you put on all of them as well. Keep up the great work.
Well thank you!
You're going to make me go bankrupt! :)
Haha I am sorry!
So I guess you can say, he is BREAKING YOUR BANK
I would rather go bankrupt with 10 decks in my bag than with only one
@@rodrigofernandes4948 Truth!
I've been waiting on this for months! One of the first commanders I built but I could never get it humming
Glad to help!
Over my vacation, I had someone use fractured identity on my Puca's Mischief in my Zedruu deck. That game devolved into pure chaos
Appreciate all the new videos coming out! A lot of good content
Thanks!
I'm so happy this video came out I've been wanting to make a deck around this commander for forever
Nice!
I have a zed deck and it was cool seeing cards I’ve never heard of and seeing a different strat than I employ. Love it.
Nice!
Yeah, so finally I become a patron after this deck. I really want to play this deck!
Thanks for your support!
1. Thought Lash is a very brutal card in this deck. If you're running Lab Maniac you can immediately deck yourself and win with him, if you want to be that kind of guy.
2. Illusions of Grandeur is a more painful version of Delusions of Mediocrity.
Cards are like $3 - $5 but they're mean as hell, especially Thought Lash.
Great reasonable upgrade considerations!
Holy moly you actually saw my comment? That's awesome, thanks! I love your videos since they've helped me get my friends into the game and format. So thank you for that much!
I only knew about those cards because I have a Zedruu deck already. I was surprised you didn't have Illusions of Grandeur as an upgrade since you know about Delusions of Mediocrity- in my experience people know about Illusions rather than Delusions, I mean.
But really, anyone reading this, invest in Thought Lash. People will hate you forever but it's a powerful as hell card to give someone.
@@ManMadeGod4 Happy to help! And yeah they are both fantastic cards for the deck!
@@ManMadeGod4 I have thought lash in my Zedruu, but never thought of decking myself with it. Already have the Jace that wins through decking, just need to grab a lab man
@@greatbrandini3967 If you play with a consistent group you only get to do it once but oh boy, the glory.
To anyone that sees this, as of August 15, 2019, this deck (including the shipping) cost me a total of $48.96, which easily fits within Mitch's new Deck Tech Guidlines
Of course, this price was made using TCGPlayer's Cart Optimizer, optimizing with heavily used and damaged cards because those cards need a home, too :^)
Omg it's now around 120 dollars on TCGplayer
$150 now
Your videos are Great and i love thouse decks when its not obvious how they work at the beginning. Love it. Im really thinking now to buy this deck. Thanks
Glad to help!
Zedruu is one of my recent decks and I am still fine tuning it. Words of war I didn't even know existed until this video, but it could be a really cool way to win and I want to try it out now. Thanks for the vid.
Awesome! No problem!
Ahh, fresh new perspective for a White Loxodon Exchange deck. Enchantress Prison seems like the best shell for Zedruu.
: )
White Loxodon haha I love it!
So glad you finally did this one!
These videos are so helpful. Keep em coming dude.
I would love to use a land walk version of this deck to give a land if I need to and them not being able to block
Nice! Would be fun!
Can we get an updated version of this deck mitch? I've recently become interested in zedruu and looking for a budget enchantress build which taxes and slows opponents.
Lmao I was just thinking of requesting Zedruu last night!! Loved the vid, thanks for such awesome content 😁
Nice!
Illusions of Grandeur is really good in this deck as well.
another great video my friend. keep it up.i love how you do videos on creatures most people don't. keeps me loving ur work brother 😎😉🤗
Well thanks!
So good to hear this old music every once in a while
If you ever make an upgraded version, I suggest Illusions of Grandeur.
A great addition!
Woho finally a zedruu deck! :) gonna get the deck asap! I did open a locust god that im gonna put in! Love your videos keep up the good work!
Nice! Will do!
I love your decks. So creative and fun.
Thanks!
Very fun commander! Great ideas!
I like Thought Lash which can exile an opponent's library if they get control of it and then can't remove it. While you control it, it can also protect you or even dig for a seventh-card-down Second Sun.
Delusions of Grandeur is also a 20 point burn spell if donated a lot of the time.
Absolutely!
Thanks Mitch. That deck looks very fun!
Thanks for watching!
Really love the videos dude! Keep it up.
Thanks!
Why haven't I known about this commander sooner? I think i've fallen in love
It’s a great one!
I'm super late... But why no Sphinx's tutelage? Sure it's a card you can't donate, but when you're drawing 10 cards a turn, that's twenty milled minimum. Plus double upkeep = 40 cards milled.
Edit: Turn 4, in a full game 16ish lands + Mana rocks = 32 milled minimum for each opponent. It only gets worse with Psychic Corrosion
and you can even add fraying sanity to straight take someone to mill hell with all that card draw.
Just thinking of doing zedruu and i think this is a good entry point. Thanks
Jinxed Idol and Jinxed Choker are also great includes if you are going the Cursed Gifts route. You can give them away during your untap step before your upkeep.
Dude I’m in love with this channel. I’d love to see an Erebos, god of the dead deck or an Ob, Nixilis of the black oath.
Aww, yiss! One of my all time favorite commanders!
Nice!
Should do one on the flip Avacyn. Can go more of s big red and control route with her utilizing her ETB to save your stuff, then wiping the board. Plus the flavor possibilities with her is amazing. Love your work btw one if the best chanel's I've watched for commander and you've actually helped me learn alot about different cards and deck building, keep fighting the good fight
Maybe in the future! Would be a fun one!
And glad you are enjoying the channel!
Yes! My favorite commander!!!
She is a great one!
Please make a Depala Deck!
Dwarfes and Vehicles are Budget anyway and this seems like a fun Boros Deck which could compete against Non-Boros Decks because of Depala‘s built-in draw. The vehicles could make a good artifact subtheme which could be benefical for the ramp (in case it gets blown up).
Make it happen, you‘re the real deal!
Your content is really awesome :)
Would be fun!
Daring Thief would work well in this as well, just one blue and 2 mana: Inspired - Whenever Daring Thief becomes untapped, you may exchange control of target nonland permanent you control and target permanent an opponent controls that shares a card type with it. really great for trading enchantments with ones you would donate anyway. at 25 cents its a cool include and you don't have to even with if you cast Conclave Tribunal and use it to convoke.
A good consideration!
Yayyy, thank you! Now you just need to do Krenko and all my wishes will have come true.
Maybe in the future! Would be a fun one!
The wording on spectral grasp, "...cant attack you..." refers to the controller of the card, so if you donate this card, the player you donated it to will receive the effects, and you can be attacked and block by that creature.
Zedruu is a fun commander. The version that I run is a semi-chaos build. I might add some of the stuff that you have in your deck tech to my own. Great vid.😀
Nice! Thanks!
Nice! Thanks!
This is one of the most savage no black deck I have ever seen.
Haha thanks
Im missing the card "Solitary Confinemen" in this video . I personally think thats one of the best cards for Zedruu.
A great reasonable upgrade to consider!
I built this deck along time ago with some of the more expensive cards, I also included copper tablet, dingus egg, Ankh of Mishra, and steel golem.
Also everytime you give something away you must say " It is the will of Zedruu, that you should have (card name) for it is shiney and powerful. I will sit here drawing cards and gaining life."
Love the vid, I'm curious what you would cut in order to fit in the "reasonable upgrades" however!
Yes! I love it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This whole time I just took commander's quarters to mean a place where people who played commander lodged or hung out; I just realized the double meaning in terms of using actual quarters in your piggy bank (25cents) to make decks. Hahaha...nice. Love this channel. Also I'm getting this deck, thanks.
Haha thanks!
This is my favorite commander! I love her! I built a super fun political taxes deck with her where I just low-key control the flow of the game and then win through attrition and value.
That’s awesome!
I've always wanted to build around this card.
Zedruu is so much fun! My deck focuses more on politics, though. I help those who are behind (Oath of Lieges & Hunted Dragon etc.) and punish those who are ahead (Diaochan, Artful Beauty & Fractured Identity etc.).
Coveted Jewel is also hilarious in a Zedruu list. =)
Got a list you can share? I really want to make this deck, but am unsure of the direction I want to take.
Nice!
I'm considering to add Smothering Tithe from Ravnica Allegiance to the list. Imagine that enchantment and Teferi's Puzzle Box... =)
I'd also love to see a deck list if you have one available! That deck sounds like a blast.
@@chrisdavis2118 Simply click the link above. ;-)
Loved it. I'll definitely have to try this out. If I can put a suggestion up there, how about mairsil, the pretender? I'd love to see you do a 25$ budget build of him. Thanks!
Would be a fun one! Maybe in the future!
Oh my god , this looks like so much fun to play .
I could see an alternative version that produces a lot of mana and uses banefire to kill opponents though , this deck feels like it lacks a bunch of wincons but i guess that's what building on a budget is .
Love this deck, and totally getting it! I would love a deck centered around the most annoying commander you can find, win the only purpose of messing with everyone. Probably runs possibility storm, manabarbs, and sulfuric vortex.
Very cool
Can you do an update on this deck? Would be great, also loving these oldschool art in magic cards...
Your version of Zedruu looks really fun. I had zedruu as my commander but I swapped her with K&T because Zedruu gets targeted pretty hard. Pyromancer’s swaith is completely brutal!
That it is!
I love the idea of this deck! Hope to try it out! But I was also wondering if you could try one for Experiment Kraj, He looks like a fun commander to play but having a budget option would be great.
Maybe in the future! Would be a fun one!
Awesome deck! I'd like to see a break the bank episode for this and Shirei if possible
Maybe in the future!
really cool and unique build
Thanks!
Keep up the good work
Will do!
An interesting commander I'd love to see from you would be Nahiri, the Lothomancer. The design seems like it would be voltron, but you cant really do that with a planeswalker
Would be fun! Maybe in the future!
*gasp* This is the one I asked for!
Thank you CQ
No problem!
I made a really bad Zedruu deck once. The goal was to load leveler into a summoner's egg, give it away and then break it open. I had other stuff like worldgorger and eater of days in there too, but leveler was the always the goal.
I managed to get there once. When the leveler flipped and I ended my turn, everyone looked at my opponent's hand and field for like 5 minutes to see if I actually got the kill on them.
I did.
Zedruu now lives comfortably in a toploader on my desk to remind me of the time when having fun with an absolutely stupid deck concept worked.
Zedruu exists
Sky Swallower : :D
I was planning on making a deck for this commander already, but it wasn't gonna be cheap. I'll probably use this a skeleton, it's hella solid for it's price lol
Nice!
This is JUST pure beautiful jank that can work
Haha yep
Loving the videos! Still waiting on a red-green commander list if you have any of those in the wings.
One or two may be coming!
YEEEES! THANK YOU
Happy to help!
I was just looking at this commander
Nice!
holy smokes i love this
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign please.
Maybe in the future! Would be a fun one!
It is the Will of Zedruu that you have... this budget deck tech. Take it. Its only $25. I'll be here, drawing cards and gaining life.
Haha indeed
now that's a commander you don't see everyday xD. interesting deck
Thanks!
I love your videos and your decks! I was wondering if you could make a cheap competitive Evra, Halcyon Witness EDH deck? With how cheeky she is, it doesn't seem like it would take a lot to one shot your opponents and it not have it break the bank.
Well Lab maniac is a really good backup card if you draw out your entire deck
No maximum hand size cards, including Reliquary Tower
Niv-Mizzet Paruun would be hilarious in this deck just due to how many cards you’re drawing (imagine the pinging)
Indeed!
Maybe Laboratory Maniac would be a good include in this deck as like, a backup win con since you'll be (optimally) drawing a ton of cards?
One noteworthy card to use in Zedruu is "Ward of Bones", which is a 6 mana artifact that has "Each opponent who controls more creatures than you can't play creature spells. The same is true for artifacts, enchantments, and lands."
As of now it costs around 10 dollars on TCGPlayer, but if you have the money to spare, Ward of Bones is definitely a great way to shut down opponents by giving them things. But be wary of sorcery/instant/planeswalker spells that destroys artifacts.
Spread the love!!!!
Haha indeed
I'd suggest fountain watch as a relatively cheap upgrade that works really really well with this deck
Wingrace would be a really cool dude to have a deck tech on. The deck builds itself almost if u dont have a budget but 25 dollars would be a challenge
I do love Zedruu and I love the idea of running a lot of cards that will work the same regardless where it is on the board, but I dislike using so much "don't untap" cards on Zedruu (Section "Or Not" of this video). I'm not complaining or anything, just sharing an experience. It is your deck and your strategy, I just like to add more value to my foes, instead of taking it away from them.
If I'm playing on a table with you and someone else with a 5/5 that is attacking me, I'll be thankful if you gave me a 1/1 to block the larger creature, but that won't stop me to turn against as soon as I can, if you completly shuts down my green deck. Or my 5+ creatures. Or don't let me untap things at all. Maybe I only needed that 1/1 to block because my 5/8 is tapped in the first place. That makes me hate you, when for me, Zedruu players should be seem as "a tool to be managed carefully".
Preventing untap, card theft and land destruction are the most "aggro-drawing" thing in commander, from my experience.
By giving cards that add value to the other players, I'm usually left alone until 1v1, where I had a whole game to plan ahead and win the game. I don't want people attacking me, I want people to think "hey, he gave me a cool card now, maybe I'll convince him into giving me something else that is good". When they think like that, I'm never a target until it is too late.
Just different gameplans with the same commander. But your video is amazing, with a lot of awesome cards ! Thank you !
Hi! Any recomendation on what to take out for the upgrades? I bought the following extra cards: Illusions of grandeur, aetherflux reservoir, swiftfoot boots, sol ring, deflecting palm, reliquary tower, wild research, curse of opulence, ghostly prison, statecraft, politcal trickery, crown of doom and inifinite reflection
Hey Commander's Quarters, you should really do a deck tech for Chainer! He seems really great and has some real potential with super budget cards.
You're the best on CZcams.
Well thank you!
keep up your good work :)
also i dont know how you do it on your patreon, but i would suggest you Elenda the Dusk Rose. she is super interessting and criminally underplayed. maybe your patreons like it :)
Maybe in the future! Would be a fun one!
This is lovely, but Im very new to magic, this deck looks amazing, but how do I know what cards I am to replace for the reasonable upgrades?
avarice amulet with akroan horse would make the amulet not always work on its upkeep trigger. same with contested warzone as people can tap it in response. coveted jewel might work but it gives too much card advantage to the players who toss it back and forth. shuriken could be decent enough as well for minor control of the fields mana dorks.
I’m now curious can you make a budget Gitrog Monster deck because that sounds great
Would be fun! Maybe in the future!
that was actually my first budget edh deck! dredge with ob nixillis the fallen, skirge familliar and splendid reclamation. you will crank out 90 damage in one turn if you do it right
Jaxx Sentinel nice actually figured out a deck for the monster 1 Zombie Infestation 98 lands but you need to mul to 1 card aka Zombies Infestation so you can play it turn 2 and you get out the the monster on 5 you discard and basically become a Niv Mizzet deck with how much you draw also that’s actually impressive how did you do it
@@Kitsuneking sounds like a ton of fun!
@@TheCommandersQuarters it is! Gitrog has ways to combo that, are not only budget-friendly, but give competition tuned decks a run for their money! Also, for consistency , I would suggest gaea's blessing in a dredge build along with ranumap excavator (replaces kozelik and crucible for the same effects , but allows heavier combos in the late game)
Niv mizzet would be nice in this deck
No mentions for confusion in the ranks, puca's mischief, risky move or thieves' auction? Each of those would be amazing for the deck.
Great considerations!
I have been playing a norin chaos combo deck for years now, you tend to pick up some whacky stuff. Especially Thieves auction would be amazing since you get to pick first allowing you to always get zedruu back, it also scrambles the lands meaning you will easily have over 10 draws from zedruu after resolving.
I would love to see Zurgo Helmsasher =)
Would be fun! Maybe in the future!
im quite surprised you havnt done a Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar deck yet. I mean you take 50 lands, add some extra land per turn things and some card draw and add some cheap but useful equipment like loxodon warhammer
Maybe in the future! Would be a fun one!
Another great video but I wanna see Etali, Azusa or Azami be made budget. I am working on building Etali but its getting expensive.
All would be fun!
Please would you consider make edh deck with not that usual commanders.
My favorite is Horobi, Death's Weil with lot of targeting (Touch of Darkness) , Lord of Tresserhorn or Seiton, Krosan Protector.
Thank You
Maybe in the future! Would be fun builds!
