My apologies but I misspoke on the +1/+1 counters for example for Fertilid and Altered Ego: "Replacement effects are unaffected by Yarok’s ability. For example, a creature that enters the battlefield with one +1/+1 counter on it won’t receive an additional +1/+1 counter."
Again, sorry for the mistake, and thank you to those who caught it! Still good cards in the deck though!
No stress, we all make mistakes.
Nice catch, I missed that. Key words for Yarok ETB are “when” and “whenever”.
Came to the comments to say this, but it's so great and amazing to see that you caught onto it within 20 minutes of the upload. Shows you really do read the comments and listen to fans.
Love your work, keep it up!!
@@michaeliats I try my best! Thanks!
@@williamfrick8350 Thanks for understanding!
My dude I love you and all but where were you like a week ago when I started building this.
Working on the video, duh.
Absolutely love yarok, went with just a value based deck,dipping a little into lands,theft and tokens and absolutely loving it. Its surprising to me the combos that yarok facilitates.
These videos are not only great for budget, but also players that aren't new because of the boundless inspiration you provide, Mitch. It's just some real prowess in deckbuilding that you can make them budget.
Thanks for the inspiration. Yarok is going to be the commander for my first ever commander deck. I built a 50$ list based off of this one. I added a few other cards like Panharmonicon, Solemn Simulacrum, Hornet Queen, The Great Henge, and Risen Reef. Thanks for the idea for a great commander deck. My mom decided to get me it for Christmas
Um quick rules check i don’t believe fertilid enters with four counters with yarok in play due to the wording. Also because fertilid entering isn’t a triggered ability, because if it was fertilid would die every time with the trigger for the plus one counters on the stack. I could be wrong on this but I’m pretty sure this is how the that ruling works.
Correct, my apologies for missing that!
So York does not make a copy of the triggered ability it just allows the card to trigger an additional time. It says on yarok specifically "If a permanent entering the battlefield causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time." That would mean your looking for a "when or when ever xx enters the battlefield". So fertild would enter with 2 1/1 counters then his text would trigger again. There fore giving it 2 more +1+1 counters.
@@beFreetolove no because fertilid isn't a triggered ability, just when it enters the battlefield, it gets 2 +1/+1 counters. Yarok specifically reads if a permanent entering the battlefield causes a triggered ability to activate. Then it happens again. Since fertilid only enters the battlefield with the counters, and doesn't causes another ability to activate, it doesn't get another two counters.
@@beFreetolove Old comments but a good rule of thumb is any cards that say "when" "whenever" or "as" when referring to ETB abilities means that they will proc Yarok's doubling effect.
In the case of Fertilid, it just says "Fertilid enters the battlefield". Confusing, but if you go by the wording it should make it a lot easier.
I see you, Mitch. Tactfully avoiding talking about how you can blow up all your opponents' lands with your infinite combo and Acidic slime. You broke the Commander Code with a budget deck!
I doff my hat to you, sir.
He talked about it briefly tho 9:57
This is a great video, I would really like to build this, I think yarok has a really fun ability to build around and I have already experimented a bit. Thank you for the deck, don’t ever stop your videos inspire me and keep the Commander format going! Keep it up and great video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoy it!
I went with a strat that focuses on blinking and bouncing my creatures. With Yarok on the battlefield, blizzard Strix and mirror image turns into a perpetual blink machine. I used it on crested herd caller and had a TON of 3/3 trampling tokens last night.
From my experience with Yarok Springbloom Druid is by far my favorite ramp piece. So much value off it! Especially when you blink it
Great start to a Yarok deck!
Adding some protection to Yarok would be nice so you can always get double etbs.
Kaya’s Ghostform and Darksteel Plate are both great starts.
The new land Field of the Dead that landfall triggers when you have 7 or more lands with different names you get a 2/2 zombie!
i instantly fell in love with this deck, could you make a break the bank episode for it?
Enter the battle effects and landfalls triggers, plus throw in muldrotha because of course you will. Or you can also add in steal effects which would be priceless and controlly
Sower of temptation
Lands are cool and all, but I'm having a blast with my constellation build of Yarok. Destroying your opponent's hands with Thoughtrender Lamia and boards with Doomwake Giant is brutal.
A budget card suggestion for the twinning strategy, Dance of Many. UU for an enchantment, ETB put a token copy of a nontoken creature into play under your control. It does have a few restrictions in that if either the token or enchantment leave play you lose the other and it costs UU each upkeep, but the value you get for making 2 tokens for 2 Mana is worth it.
Dude, YES. Yarok doubling this is insane. I missed this one but now I definitely have to put it on my list.
Necromancy and Diabolic Servitude are other similar cards that Yarok also doubles.
I was looking in the comments just to see if someone recommended this lol
I swear, your decks are getting more and more powerful. Really have fun watching these.
Whao, kinda cool to see a "combo" deck come out! Usually not a big fan but this is super rad :D
I really enjoyed the idea of the deck here. I took it and reasonable upgrades and added a few other cards for flair, and I am really enjoying this! I didnt really plan on going lands based, glad I did!
Small correction: Effects like Fertilid, where the creature "enters with x +1/+1 counters" aren't technically triggered abilities, so they don't work with Yarok. The counters are just kinda part of casting the creature.
Good catch, and my apologies for the mistake!
No it's not. It's a permanent entering the battlefield so it will trigger and additional time. I use my yarok deck all the time and I've always used it this way. I've been searching trying to prove me wrong but i cannot find anywhere that says what you guys are.
@@beFreetolove Yarok's Gatherer page has a ruling that confirms this. The text of that ruling is in the pinned comment of this video. That said, there's nothing wrong with house ruling it to work however you want within your playgroup.
Sound quality and overall production quality is really good Mitch! Keep up the good work!
I was building my own budget list, I MAY have added a few of the infinite combos to the deck now. (My playgroup is fine with infinite combos and will just team up on the strong deck)
Having litterally bought and played this deck today, the loop where you gonti your opponents entire deck is probably my favorite way to win lol
Thank you so much I’ve been wanting build this. Great video as always
Thanks! Hope you enjoy playing Yarok!
Thanks for more awesome budget deck building goodness. Your channel rocks.
Dem new transitions. Also really liking the new segment where you give an example of the combo near the end.
Well thanks!
Awesome deck! I'd like to see a break the bank episode on this one.
I like the new format for going from one group of cards to another. It helps break up the pace and keeps attention better instead of having the same tempo for the whole video.
As always nice deck tech Mitch. I like the new screen transitions too
I didn’t expect landfall but this looks like a fun one! Might have to build it after I finish getting my upgrades for the locust god deck I built after yours
this tech is actually crazy for the cost. off to buy the cards i need for it now! thanks mitch!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Mitch you beautiful genius! I ACTUALLY pulled this bad boy at prerelease
I pulled Yarok as my foil in a prerelease, so been looking forward to this deck tech.
I am so happy I got this as my pre-release promo. I am looking forward to building a modified version of this deck.
Springbloom Druid is my favorite common, cheap ramp that WoTC has printed in recent time. Such an amazing card for commander.
Definitely picking this up when I get the chance. I just built your gishath deck not to long ago and loved it.
13:55 There’s a problem with this, OP. Bounce lands put TWO lands back in your hand when they enter with Yarok, not one.
Sonic growth chamber enters the battlefield, etb triggers twice. You target a forest and sonic growth chamber. They both bounce, then the etb trigger for coral happens. You target the creature to untap, then you tap the creature to put the forest in play. This causes the enchantment to trigger, untap creature then tap for growth chamber. Rinse repeat
Bounce the Bounce-Land and the Basic, Walking Atlas still lets you play one, which gives you 2 landfall triggers with retreat, stack the triggers, let one untap Walking Atlas, then hold priority and tap walking atlas, putting two more retreat triggers on stack, untap atlas, tap to put the bounce land back in, repeat scenario, but now you have 2 extra tap triggers on retreat. It's not a problem, it's an upside.
But the retreat untaps walking atlas twice so it evens out. You return two lands, you play two lands
@@jordanyoung5279 and? I don't see the problem, ETB land triggers is what you want anyway so retreat can kill everyone right? so it doesn't matter if both bounce back.
@@puffin-onehandedgamer1164 what are you talking about? He said the combo doesnt work because it returns two lands, I said it does work because you also get to play two, so it evens out, allowing you to go infinite.
I love watching your show to find effectovr cheap cards for my decks but I usually disregard a chunk of the decklist because they're chaff. This deck however remains impressive even if it's cheap! Well done I love it.
Are we going to get a Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves deck? I think wolf life gain could be a cool strategy
Mtg furry deck
Was waiting for this one. Super happy to see it.
Love your deck techs! Keep up the good work!
Ion know how u make all these deck techs so consistently good job!
Thanks!
Super Cool Deck, id love to see a 100$ version of this deck!
I just built this deck. I haven't tried it out, but it seems like a powerful commander
Love this commander, kinda sad it was a land build, i was looking for more of a phanharmonicon deck, but it was realy cool anyway and still did brew a lot of ideas,thanks for the awesome video
As someone who started playing in Zendikar, a landfall deck hits that nostalgia like nothing else (except OG allies, natch).
I would love to see a $100 deck with this commander. Great video.
Favorite deck tech channel because it basically brainstorms a better deck. I made the shirei shizos care taker deck best now everyone sighs at the table when I play
I pulled a Yarok out of a pack and I’m absolutely in love with it.
I am building a Kaalia deck with her card from M20.
Really dig the vids. Keep up the good work.
Sweeeet... Can't wait to try this one. Hope Omnath is on the list of upcoming deck techs.
I just got a foil Yarok in a draft pack, feels good man
I was just looking through cards after pulling this commander last night and then the notification for this video pops up? Let's go! It's gonna be a good day (and a bad next week for my FNM, MWUHAHAHAHA!) Lol
PLEASE update this to a $50 version.
its already over $50
@@ButtonWalls The title of the video states "EDH Budget Deck Tech $25"
@@goodbuddy7607 the actual price of the deck is over $50
@@ButtonWalls Care to explain?
@@goodbuddy7607 check tcg player price for the deck. It's over $50
Been waiting for this since I pulled Yarok from a pack.
I really love this build! I’ve seen a lot of really cool Yarok decks, but many of them run 200$ + which is too much for me, or many people too. I would love to see a break the bank episode of yarok because he has a lot of potential with just a bit more money. Anyways, always love your builds and I play them all the time!
An updated BTB version of this deck would be awesome. I really enjoyed the Thassa Deck, but a deck built around Yarok and Thassa/Conjurer's Closet would be insane.
It's also worth mentioning that you can replace Peregrine Drake and Man-o'-War with Cloud of Faeries and Shrieking Drake to achieve the same effect for a lower starting cost.
Another amazing commander and deck tech.
I am going to make an energy deck with this. Been waiting for a commander that has enough value and I think this just might be it! No it's not the most optimal build but it will be fun!
I love Yarok so much and I can't really afford making most commander decks. But I'm gonna make this one because it's cheap and has my favourite legendary I have ever seen. :)
I just built my yarok before watching this. I accidentally comboed with yarok infinitely thanks to archaemancer, ghostly flicker, and prosperous pirates. Made infinite treasure tokens and cast everything from my hand and then made infinite tokens with aspiring areonaut. Didn't realize he would go off in this manner. Was super excited.
Nice!
Embodiment of Insight (and maybe Halimar Tidecaller) could also be incredible includes in this deck. All of your lands becoming 3/3 vigilance creatures with flying, then playing End-Raze Forerunners will insta-win a ton of games
Yarok is the commander Sultai needed. I like more inherently focused commanders like Feather, but Sultai doesn't have many options and the fact this opens up so many tactics is amazing! Lands deck is definitely an exciting route but I would love to see more like enchantment.
Do a break the bank on this one! Love the value engine here.
Love the budget combo!
Yarok was the last thing i needed from m20, watched the game knights ep and honestly he's easily my favorite commander from m20, so fun to watch in a pod
Indeed!
I also really like ob nixilis the fallen in this deck, with how much ramp you have, any of that landfall triggers doubling up is 😍 6 damage 6 counters... And avenger of zendikar.. Yeah.. I like land strategies lol
i was going to mention tidespout tyrant for the peregrine combo. it needs some extra mana but with it you bounce EVERYTHING.
Probably difficult to add a reasonable upgrade that requires another upgrade, but:
Yarok>Spark Double>Rite of Replication>anyETB, then sit back and watch the world burn! Also mirror gallery (I think?). This deck could be disgustingly good. Looking forward to playing more of it!
I'm looking for building this deck, but I was actually intending to go a completely different way. In addition to just running a panharmonicon, I was intending to include the 8 (5 green, 2 blue, 1 black) 'make a scion/spawn' eldrazi. On top of that, running a Sire of Stagnation to seize the game's speed. Equilibrum was also a must include for this deck, something I definetly missed here.
For removal, I was looking at Noxious Gearhulk, Hostage Taker, and Ravenous Chupacabra. Other cards I would've loved to include were Lotus Cobra, Ob Nixilis the Fallen, Kiora Behemoth Reckoner, Guardian Project, Elemental Bond, Frilled Mystic, Void Grafter, Mystic Snake, Vivien Champion of the Wilds, and Dragonlord Silumgar.
Archaeomancer can get you back two instants or sorceries from the yard... and you can blink him. Seems tasty.
Panharmonicon, Gitrog, Muldrotha and the 5cmc artifact that flickers a creaure per turn (sry forgot its name) should be somewhere in the upgraded version imo. Chupacabra and Hostage Taker should be in any Yarok deck as well. I like the fact that u turned it into a Landfall deck and not just a Sultai Roon deck.
new thassa is good, mana sink and repeatable blinking, all on an indestructable enchantment creature
I expected to see scapeshift on the upgrades, great deck man!
Another combo in a Yarok deck is Lotus Cobra, Fertilid, and Evolution Sage. This works especially well if you have a decent planeswalker or other landfall ability in play
You could also add a amulet of vigor with all those land searching cards, i use it in my tatyova deck, its my golden pig
I like the new animation style in your Videos
Keep the good work
Thanks! Will do!
I feel like panharmonicon has a place in this deck. It doesnt double land fall triggers but there are seemingly a lot of creature based triggers that could benefit from it (of corse i mean in the upgraded version it does have a budget prohibitive price tag)
I'll be using Vannifar and Meren alongside Birthing Pod and Muldrotha. Can't wait to build the rest of it.
My god, that deck sounds scary
explorer's scope is a great undervalued card for things like this
I was planning to make a self mill deck and pair it with sidisi the brood tyrant
Wow omg this looks like so much fun to build
I cracked him in my very first core 20 booster.
Had no idea what to do with him then I got the idea to do a Sultai Energy deck.
I can shut down 'walkers with deadlock trap, flicker them with spells and get double the double energy, and all three Modules to mini Great Machine my way to obnoxiousness.
Deck should have Archaeomancer and Mnemonic Wall. If you're already running Peregrine Drake and the Ghostly Flicker spells, the two creatures are great additions to go infinite.
That's why budget is so great for being open-ended. Err wait, it's the choice of a decent commander. Gotta make good picks so you don't waste your time.
I love your channel man, keep up the good content
I think in a less budget build snow basic lands might be worth playing so you can run Ice-Fang Coatl and Marit Lage’s Slumber
Unfortunately you made some ruling mistakes : 7/12/2019 Replacement effects are unaffected by Yarok’s ability. For example, a creature that enters the battlefield with one +1/+1 counter on it won’t receive an additional +1/+1 counter. You can check the Yarok, the desecrated official MTG page for more.
Correct, my apologies for missing that!
IMPORTANT. The bounce lands bounce two lands. The first combo you’ve described here works, but the second one absolutely does not.
@@emilysmith3594 The bounce land bounces itself and a forest. You play the forest then you can play the bounceland. It is infinite.
I think I'm in love. With a Sultai Elemental Horror.
yarok is brutal! the value is so strong, sultai commanders are so good
I got absolutely pulverized by a Yarok/Dread Presence interaction on MTGA the other night. I’m so proud of that guy!! I wanna do it for real now *_*
just got m20 bundle and opend yarok gonna make this deck soon
I think panharmonicon would be a good include. Mainly it helps with redundancy and if you can’t get your commander out (if it’s killed too many times or stolen)
I love this Tatyova 2.0 deck!
Great video ! But i'm not agree with the replacements, retreat to Hagra is a very good card in this deck. One of the best.
I'm asking this deck for my birthday next week lol
You should totally do an oloro Commander deck it would be awesome! I love your channel too!
I'm currently building this beck lol :) thanks
Omg i just bought yarok thank youu
Cloud of Faeries is very good in this deck. It's a cheaper pergerine drake that goes infinite with shrieking drake or with ghostly flicker and something like archaeomancer or eternal witness, which I also believe belong in this deck.
This. I also included it in my build
My favorite combo in my deck is demonic tutor for rune scarred demon, and then get avenger of zendicar and cradorhoof
@9:05 slightly more expensive? Those 2 cost a combined total of 15¢ lol
But on a serious note, you come up with some amazing decks and I love the commentary bud! Keep up the good work!
