Rats tho!
Boo dragons and elves! I'll take any of the lesser known creature types all day… Assassins about to get a boost next year too 😉
Too be fair all Shapeshifters are also Homarids… so
I’m really into my Werewolf deck atm! Lots of synergies
Love me some elves!
You guys are the best. Keeping in outtakes and brain fogs. Amazing and real content.
Humans were replaced with Slivers but otherwise this could be copy and pasted from the EDHREC site for most popular creature types.
I have no idea where Homarids would be on EDHREC, maybe page 8 😅
Edit: Homarids don’t even register as a tribal type (3 or less decks) and are lumped in with “Sea Creatures” tribal.
GOBBO'S!!!!
goblins are good, but made better by raid bombardment…which was in one of my arena starting decks, goblins everywhere…so fun to play
0:44 big goblin 🍮
What?! No insects!? Sure, I've never won with my Zask, Skittering Swarmlord deck….or even come close to winning….but uh….he's cool!
[But yeah, I totally have Sliver and Tiamat decks.]
Great episode! I love that you've included much of the actual dynamics and bloopers and… personality. Really good. Also, Veggie man if you wanna do a real hipster build that has requires skill to do: Elk tribal. Everyone knows all Homarid builds are just Morphoron Changelings and that's just boring 😉
Hey now! There are seven legal homarids!
Thinking of building an Ayara deck as zombie tokens w/ Endless Ranks of the Dead
Are they dating? Or are they related?
The first deck i ever built was an ur dragon deck. Its still my favorite deck ever and most expensive too!
Since the focus seems to be tribal…
> Zombies
– Ghost of Ramirez DePietro
//Tormod (the Desecrator)
Dimir self-mill
> Elves
– Grand Warlord Radha
Gruul elf fireball
– Nadier (Agent of the Duskenel)
//Miara (Thorn of the Glade)
Mono-Black tokens with aristocrats support
– Varis (Silverymoon Ranger)
Mono-Green dungeons with elf support
> Dragons
– Skanos Dragonheart
//Acolyte of Bahamut
Mono-Green stompy and voltron
Finally built my first tribal deck. Went with the new Sigarda, Font of Blessings. Human and Angel tribal with Hexproof over all my other permanents. Mainly an Angel deck with humans that support the angels.
Whos rockin' Kithkins with Brigid, Hero of Kinsbaile 😎
It’s Cats for me.
My favorite deck right now is my Miirym clones deck. When picking decks to play people often kinda balk at Miirym until I tell them I only have 3 Dragons in the 99. That seems to pique their interest.
That deck just does a lot of fun things. The first time I got the deck to actually pop off I made, iirc, around 36-40 token copies of Miirym in one turn and then lost the game because I didn't have haste 😅
Tribal is the best, favorite is vampire
Wolves and Rats!!!!!
Angels… Got my Secret Lair Angels Commander Pre-con, upgraded it, and holy moley does it slap on tables. It's surprising how quick you can become the biggest threat, and being white, you can just nuke the board over and over again.
Top 5 fun to play, but not best. In order of best to worst:
Goblins, Elves, Humans, Slivers, then Zombies/Dragon depending on the Wincon.
I love my Dinosaurs deck. Really, really fun. But my Minotaur deck, while not as strong, is still awesome and loads of fun. That being said, my first commander deck I ever built was a sliver deck, and I have two dragon decks (Miirym, and Ur).
“Eminence” is a busted ability. Not necessarily a hot take, but if you get a free ability that’s untouchable in the Command Zone you’ll have an advantage right out of the gate. Anyway, I’m looking at you Edgar Markov. 😊 (I really enjoy Tribal decks and have a bunch of them. My current favorite is Faeries.)
