One thing re Rebellion rising – it’s a potential Rebel commander!!! The alternative commander there is a phoenix who creates rebel token and for tapping a rebel can be reanimated. Very sweet to revive old lin sivvi and other old rebels:)
KADENA MENTIONED WOOOOOH!
This was my second Commander deck and I love it, it's still my best casual deck. The only thing it's not mentioned here is Morph can turn into a really complicated mechanic, I suggest any player to read and watch videos about Morph or you'll be slowing the game down on the table from time to time.
The price in canada drives me insane for example just for the first example the minimum is 50 cad but most places sell them for 70$ cad
These decks aren’t that great thats why they’re so cheap. The only reason to buy these is to rip them apart.
Just built a Henzie deck with scraps I had lying around. Such a fun commander!
i'm giving away Faceless Menace as we speak
Surprisingly, I have 3/5 decks, and I can for sure say they are fun 😅
I just want to say Henzie is a precon I bought on a whim and it's my all-time favorite deck. I think part of it is that it actually accounts for all the parts of commander that can be less fun: Because creatures are blitzed, you a pretty much guaranteed to always do something cool/fun on your turn. His second ability isn't one I ever use intentionally but does make you feel better when he gets removed, which ameliorates the bad feeling of having your commander removed, as in some ways your deck works stronger. Plus if he's removed early, you get a noticeable cost reduction for the rest of the game. If he's removed later, you can usually recost him and still do something else on your turn.
Because your creatures die at the end of the turn, your board is usually never huge, which I think helps other players feel as if your deck is "fair"/interactable, which I think helps how the table feels. However, when your board gets huge, it's usually because you just did something very cool and likely did a bunch of damage/resolved triggers, so when you do get targeted you don't feel bad.
Finally, the deck just does a bit of everything I'd want to do. Stompy bois? cool ETBs? cool combat triggers? cool die triggers? Reanimation? All great. All the while, the blitz draw keeps you getting more options. I know there's an infinite combo or two, but my group doesn't play with those. And the combat-centric playstyle makes the games go faster too. You can build a Henzie deck at pretty much any level or budget, and have a good time no matter what. I highly recommend the Henzie Discord for deck discussion and card recommendations, but honestly, you can just play whatever creatures you like to resolve.
Just got the rebellion rising deck yesterday for $28, it's a great option for clever concealment and flawless manuever, while some of the remaining cards could be used to brew or add to other decks. The worth of the full precon is around $63 and i found out i had direct use to aroud $39 of it so it was a no brainer.
+1 for team Henzi … it’s just so good. You can fully build it your own with draft chaff and it can still be pretty good.
Another fun precon I would suggest is Kalamax.
Why would you buy the henzie precon, the deck that is just built incorrectly? Its one of the worst precons out of the box, which is a shame because henzie is a monster. For the cost of the precon you can build a much better henzie deck
Kadena! My first commander ❤
Zendikar landwrath deck super value at 23$ cad
I'm getting that Eldraine one for my GF, found a pack with it and the fairie deck and I'm picking the enchantments one for her and the other one for me since I want a dimir commander. It'll be her first deck so I hope she has can have a great time with it
Hey great video. Where are you getting your deck prices from?
I have both of the Wilds Of Eldraine Commander Decks, last time that I played a Precon Commander event, I played the Faerie deck so tomorrow night, I will play the other deck.
I recently picked up the virtue and Valor precon for 15€ such a great deal and with a few updates it felt really strong
Land’s Wrath is an absolute banger, with just a few upgrades it can become a beast of a deck, and it’s only like 18 dollars
exit to exile
Unfortunately Virtue and Valor is unplayable. The new art they gave to kor spiritdancer is such a downgrade ever touching the deck!
The other sugestions are pretty cool doe
I want to declare that the Prosper and Breena ones are also incredibly good with just a bit of tweaking.
Got Faceless for Christmas 😌❤️
I bought the Rebellion Rising deck and really enjoyed my time upgrading it. Although after a while I noticed that the deck underperformed for me with Neyali at the helm and switched to the alternative commander Otharri. Otharri is a powerhouse that needs to be dealt with. But in the end I actually ended up taking apart the deck again and making an Isshin (Two Heavens As One) deck which is really, really fun to play for me.
I was missing the Exit from Exile precon! It's Gruul with Faldorn at the helm. She gives you wolves for playing cards from exile, while she herself is able to exile a card. It's pretty great out of the box and with the recent exile payoff cards being added to the game, it's getting better and better. Sure, Prosper is probably the more powerful exile matters commanders, but Faldorn seems more fun to play for me.
Restless revanent was my second precon I picked up and let me tell you Milicent is RIDICULOUS. So hard to control my board state while my creatures not only make spirit tokens but when the non tokens die, I get more spirits which reduces Milicent recast cost. So strong.
I’ve been eyeing Riveteers for awhile, definitely gonna get it.
Exit from exile is great with Faldhorn as the commander. probably my most resilient deck by far
Ahoy maties, exit from exile and food and fellowship all go hard out of the box
The blood token precon Strefan. Is pretty messed up too. I wasnt a fan of the set at all but the precon came with ways to give your vamps 1st strike and deathtouch though. I never modified it and it holds up against slivers and eldrazi better than some of my hardcore decks
I'm still confused about why no one likes planeswalker party 1 ichormoon and you can go infinite and win with almost nothing your opponents cab do about it
I got a couple commander master precons over the years and Ellivere is still the biggest “what the fuck this commander goes crazy so fast so consistently!” Even though it’s a base precon. I get similar vibes from each ixalan precon. Hakbal explore also goes off so fast
If one more commander youtube channel slanders planeswalker party, I'm gonna lose my mind. That Precon is killer out of box and functions well even when I pulled the best pieces for other decks.
I picked Anhelo and boy… This quickly became my favorite. Lay low, build stupid combos, and literally explode the table. Killed 3 players by milling 100+ cards in the same turn.
My son played the Virtue and Valor deck. It's pretty awesome. It ramps everything up and having ways to grab auras and enchantments out of the graveyard can be brutal. He was having a great time turning anything cool into a 3/3 elk with no abilities. Best joke of the night… "I just want to see you happy. I then want to take that happiness and turn it into a 3/3 elk" lol
YEAH RIVITEERS RAMPAGE!
My first deck and has become one of my faves being heavily modified with a lot of bombastic cards
Can confirm, Virtue and Valor is absolutely nasty out of the box. Played a 3-pod with a guy who shuffled it up straight outta the cellophane, no sleeves or anything, and he steamrolled both of us who were playing expensive decks. The alternate commander in it is also quite good, and it can upgrade into a ridiculously OP deck.
Kadena was so underrated. I ended up getting a lot of the 2019 commanders and she performs really consistently. Not super strong but not a push over. Very fun deck
