Cut-Rate Commander – Episode 69 – Featuring Vishgraz the Doomhive from Phyrexia All Will Be One #mtg #commander #edh #mtgphyrexia #mtgone

Delving deep into the Dross Pits, we’ll be meeting the latest commander from Phyrexia: All Will Be One that we’ll be covering – the compeated abomination Vishgraz, the Doomhive the swarm of toxic vermin that call him master – both eager to bring down any who are foolish enough to resist the Norn’s will.

In this build, we’ll be aiming to get maximum value our of Vishgraz’s ETB toxic token creation by flickering him as much as possible – making him a one man show of poison counter delivery by flooding the board with expendable toxic bodies that will make Vishgraz bigger and bigger every time they connect. Of course, that means we’ll be running a huge amount of single use and repeatable blink effects to do just that, as well as plenty of other creatures with ETB effect to benefit from all the flickering we’ll be doing and ETB payoffs to generate value for us as our creatures continue to re-enter the battlefield – forcing our opponents to either be overwhelmed by our swarm of toxic mites to succumb to our commander ever growing commander damage.

Let me know if the comments below if you agree with my choices and/or what you would add to the deck instead. Also, let me know know who you would like to see next by voting on in the comments on the three choices of commander listed at the end of the video.

  1. Please let me know in the comments below what you think of the build, if you think there are any other cards that I should have considered, and what commanders you want to see from Phyrexia: All Will Be One in future polls!

  2. I like the flicker theme. I personally chose to play it pretty straight forward with the new toxic creatures and less infect creatures from the past. My deck is very creature based and typical green ramp who tries to be very fast due to mana advantage. maybe my deck is more boring but comes with the big creatures at the end instead of flickering proliferate creatures.

  3. For the last year or more your videos have become like Saturday morning cartoons for me when I was a kid, always look forward to them. Thanks for doing what you do, your builds are always fun and make up most of my collection!

  4. Grazzet, I love your deck techs. If I don't copy the deck you make then I at least build my own version. For instance, I did not even know this Commander existed because I've been so busy at work lately. I simply can't keep up with all the new releases. Thanks for all your content!

    P.S. are you using tcgplayer prices or Card Kingdom? I try to use CK prices because the shipping costs of tcgplayer come out to about the same as just buying it from one source like CK. Although some cards get crazy premium prices from CK that I am forced to buy from my LGS or TCG.

  5. Been waiting for you to do this one,

    is this your first Azban deck?

    Do you think Vishgraz deck is more powerful than Ixhel?

    I really like this list, seems very fun to play

    Love how all the exile cards work to benefit the gameplan as well as protecting your commander

    Thanks for all you do, as always another great video

    Please never stop

  6. Damn. This deck is so toxic it got canceled for being an abusive partner. Bad jokes sneakily related to the recent Chris LeBlanc drama aside, amazing upgrade as always! Maybe we can name the build Schrödinger's Vishgraz, what with all the flickering in and out of existence he is doing along with his comrades?
    Also hey, we got some damn good lore right before the Creature section! Schweet!

    As for the vote, I am gonna choose the Myr Tribal build, simply because the art and concept are downright heartwarming. Reminds me of Wall-E, great movie. (Also, the words "Affinity for Artifacts" might be giving me a bit of PTSD.)

    As a side note, I think there was a strange little pause for about a second after Emiel, The Blessed. Not sure if it's your software glitching, you stopping for a breath, or me tripping, but you might wanna check it just in case.

    Day 563 of waiting for the face reveal. Thoughts on the idea of a player needing 20 poison counters to die in Commander? Cause it is a pretty common idea, even if I don't think it's a good one.

  7. A splashy new direction with your build styles – think this is your first blinky deck? Surprised you did not consider Venerated Rotpriest given all the ways you will be targeting your creatures with spells.

  8. Solid build. Kaya, Geist Hunter would also be good for it – lets you double the amount of mites you're creating in the buildup phase, and then when you're ready to attack gives all those 1/1s with toxic deathtouch to make it more painful to block them, potentially clearing the board only for you to refill it by flickering. Comboing Kaya with Mite Overseer to give the mites first strike makes the trick all the more painful.

  9. Some stuff I’m running that I got ideas from other videos are Gift of Immortality, kaya’s ghost form, behind the scenes, champion of lamb holt, and possibly 1 or two of the lands you can pay mana into to make a creature unblockable. And because I was able to trade for them, I’m definitely throwing in both elesh norn cards 🎉🎉🎉

  10. Great build! I like how all your list encourage a fun play style and you give nice ideas how to upgrade if desired. Mostly though all your lists really look like having a good time and staying casual, keep it up!

  11. Oh hey look another Deck that got me to start building a Deck at 1 am. Really gota stop doing this.
    Honestly really cool Idea to take it into a Flicker direction, im not the biggest fan of Poison Counters but this is an interesting Variant.
    I kinda messed around with it as well just now, using kenrith as my Commander as he:
    1) gives me access to all 5 colors
    2) has a one Mana Haste ability which is really neat
    Kinda went all in on Creatures that generate a lot of Tokens on ETB like Hornet Queen and Beetleback Chief, with some Boost Cards like Prava and Glory of Warfare, as well as some flicker goodstuff with Ravenous Chupacabra, Reclamation Sage and Eternal Witness (To be honest I kinda just took most of the flicker goodstuff from your Deck that didn't proliferate)
    Also went with gates for the Manabase since you have District Guide which can search them on ETB as well as a solid amount of Mana fixing. I then threw in some Creature Searching like Fauna Shaman and Rocco to search for anything you might be missing in terms of Creatures.

    Awesome Video and thanks for consistently giving me new Ideas to mess around with

  12. The one thing I would add is if you have the money or got lucky, mondrak glory dominus is amazing. I actually put him into the rebel pre-con. It’s absolutely disgusting.
