Casually Competitive MTG I like your video guys but I wanted to let you know of a few things 😊. 1) with just clouds tone curio and two 1 cmc creatures you can go off. You won’t add to your starting mana but when the Chileans trigger land enters cloud stone will let you bounce another land land. 2) Also overburden works just like mana breach with shrieking drake, costs one less mana, also hurts najeelas Tolkens. 3) There are many combos on how to win with earth craft and shrieking drake/village bell ringer. Just shrieking drake and earth craft and an island wins the game.

I did forget to mention that Cloudstone Curio line, good catch. It can be a super nice / compact backup to Mana Breach + Drake. Overburden is also a nice backup card as well. I personally prefer Mana Breach since it can be used as a nice stax-y hate piece, but I have definitely debated slotting Overburden into my personal Chulane deck many times. In terms of the Earthcraft combo, I wanted to try to limit this video to the essentials and didn't want to get too sidetracked with all the possible ways this commander can win - that being said using Earthcraft is definitely a strong card in this deck

I wanted to ask if you could explain the symbiote combo, I'm not fully understanding how it works I see the play of turning it into an elf so it can bounce itself to untap something but does this only work if it's untapping a creature that taps G+1? If so that's fine but I just felt like a was missing something, I understand in the scenario I described it would let you replay the elf until you've decked yourself and netted a ton of mana in the process. The only other way is if the entity effect is like a state based effect and it doesn't matter if you play a creature after it's been used it enters as a 1/1 changeling? If that's the case I see how the loop would work with just a single mana dork.

@@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG I see where you are coming from with all of that. In my personal list which is more mid game hatebears with the combo side i switched out aluren and intruder alarm for earthcraft and overburden because my meta has a fair amount of creature based wins and i would rather run low to the ground wincons that dont give my opponents a chance to respond while im going off (i.e.- untapping their mana dorks or allowing them to flash in an answer). It seems to be doing fairly well in my meta although i'm still in the tweaking phase and am constantly looking through my maybe board and main board to see what i can switch around :D

Now this is a series i can't wait to see more of

This series has to be a thing on your channel. Explain cEDH commander and a roadmap for the build.

“Say the line, Casually Competitive.” “Sigh...Chewlane.” “YAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!”

Aside from commanders quarters this is the best deck tech type of video out there.

Even The Commander's Quarters could learn something from what these guys have done. Still, they're both fantastic and I love both channels' different types of deck tech.

This is great as a starter, and I love the "should you keep" section.

That was literally one of the best deck techs I've ever seen, seriously!! It went straight to the point in the core cards that make the deck function and left the rest of the 99 space for creative individual customization! Really good stuff! And no filler.

I love that you have examples of opening hands in this series! Lots of other deck tech online only have recommendations on the cards to put in the deck, but no real game play advice on how to pilot the deck well for first-timers. Keep doing this, please!

I like Walking Ballista for Chulane, it's easy to tutor, is a win condition when infinite, can start Chulane chains as a 0 cmc creature in a pinch and rarely feels like a dead card in hand. Awesome video, looking forward to more in this series!

The “Curio + Aluren” combo you described works without Aluren in play to draw you deck, since Curio can bounce lands

Phenomenal. I absolutely loved the sample hand section, really gives you some insight on how the deck operates in the moment

I love this style! I've started trying to brew my own semi-competitive decks and the explanation as to why everything is in the deck is exactly what I needed. Also the explanations on opening hands was super helpful.

Thank you so much for the video. This was absolutely brilliant and well done. It was the perfect amount of information and I loved the hand analysis too that was so helpful. I also really appreciated your previous videos about the combos and how to stop them, those were both astonishingly well done. Take care!

please continue this series. its very helpful for newer players to understand deckbuilding and for people who are looking for a new deck to make. keep up the good work!

this series is so promising. Invaluable for understanding some different approaches to this commander. I really like how Jospeh does an amazing job of not just reading part of a list but talking about the thoery, which makes it so you can learn and build a different deck or find your own cards that fill some of the same slots if you're working on more of a budget. Very quality content.

I like the example hands a lot, I’ve been having a difficult time determing what exactly I should be keeping/mulliganing for when starting out. Loved the video! Def want to see more tecs

YES!! I love this video! It’s short sweet and to the point. If lays a very solid groundwork for the deck and most if not all of its strategies in a clear and effective way! I love it and would love even more of these videos, perhaps maybe explaining blood pod or a variant of blood pod?

Oh sweet Jesus, I'm so stoked about this series! Can't wait to see where y'all take it.

I absolutely love the opening hand segment. I think this is something so important that not enough people talk about in depth. One of my biggest level up moments was learning how to mulligan properly and when to aggressively mulligan. Opening hand decisions can make or break a game for you sometimes and so it is very important to be able to make the decisions well. Thanks for the dope video!

To be honest this video is really helpful. The way you broke down the combos and what hand to keep is good. I actually built this deck recently and I’m going to have to take a second look at it. Thank you keep up the great work.

So happy I found this channel. You speak clear and concisely. Not a slave to sponsors (yet??), and upload on a decent basis. Keep it up, lads!

Perfectly timed, I was thinking about doing a casual Chulane just using the commander as a card draw/ramp engine, No infinite combos

Love the video and your channel in general! One combo I didn’t see mentioned was earthcraft+shrieking drake + a basic island = infinite chulane triggers as well. Earthcraft is just great value as well and turns all your creatures into hastey mana dorks

I'm glad to see this tech video not going down the Labman route to win, and I was considering upgrading the precon Chulane Brawl deck I have into an EDH deck, so I appreciate it. :)

It would be cool to see an animar, soul of elements video like this one. Also you definitely need to keep this series up, it's awesome!!!

Fantastic video! I love the opening hand analysis, really fantastic job, I would love to see more video like this, on different commander, like Anje for example. I also love the analysis on cards which seem good for the deck but don't really belong (the Thassa discusssion part), more of that would be really helpful.

Really liked the video and seeing what you can do and how to build with it. Seeing the infinate combo possiblities is intriguing. Most of the time I can't make any oficial play events, or store events due to my work scheduale, and the group of friends I play with, we decided not to use infinate comboes in any of our decks. Would be interesting to see possible builds with this commander, and others, that don't use infinate combos, but still keep them competative. Friend of mine introduced me to your chanel a while back, and I have enjoyed videos. You gouys are great. Thanks for what your doing.

This is fantastic this channel is all the things i love about commander content

Cool stuff! Love that the video focuses on the intentions of the deck and not on "mandatory" cards! (Well, apart from combo pieces XD)

I really loved this episode and will be using it to tune up my chulane deck!

I really like the concept of this, it makes a lot of sense. I would love to see one for some good value commanders as well, including maybe tatyova, kess, and yarok. Can’t wait for more 😊

Found y'all via Mitch at Commander's Quarters. Keep up the awesome work!

Super enjoyed this. Looking forward to seeing more commanders.

Chulane is such a fun commander. I made a merfolk tribal deck with him, and it’s such great to play. Love the deck techs!

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for correcting your pronunciation. Please continue to say it this way

Awesome series, would love to see more casually competitive deck techs. Scarab God would be a great build to see.

Fun vid. I'm working on a combo persistent petitioner deck so this helped. Never knew about that village bell ringer. So that with alluren will def help me combo faster!

This was a very entertaining video and I love watching this channel, keep up the good work :)

@@RikuAkimoto My brother is building Alela currently but not in competitive unfortunately. Still, even in casual she's a freakin powerhouse. Sadly Gwyn just got shafted.

Simple and very helpful. Keep them coming !

This is great! I cant wait for more like this!

This is fantastic. Please keep this up.

Amazing work, really fresh and dynamic. Make this a thing, please.

Please do Urza in the future! I know it's fairly straightforward, one sided stax until you get infinite mana and win via Thassa's oracle but I have SO much trouble with opening hands and some general strategies and I'd love to see a video with that!

Please keep doing episodes like this !

awesome format ! sweet and short

Love this series!!

Been dying for you to do a vid like this!

i would love a video about either Kykar or Urza, great work

I will religiously watch this series

Love this content! I would vote for more videos :)

Just started to play this game, this is my first Commander. I've been building a tribal melfork with this oldman:^)

This is def a great idea for future videos. It helps teach new CEDH players (like myself) and it is very interesting. Think you can do one on that midrange green deck you guys played with tymna and thrasios?

This is awesome! More deck techs please ! emry next?

This is a great series!

WICKED helpful. Thanks!

Loved it, more pleaseeeee

I like these videos. Maybe doing short ones on cards like staff of domination and scroll rack. Maybe even some land destruction. I see people using these efdects but not really knowing why to have them in the deck.

You could also go for the Food Chain route with Chulane. Although it's a bit more glass cannon than the Aluren/Curio build you got going on. But it's also super fun to play and it works surprisingly well. Manipulate Fate and Foresight are really good tutors and BANT also has alright access to tutoring Food Chain as well. You can run Riftsweeper, Nox Rev and Regrowth as back up if your Food Chain gets taken away.

About the pronounciation, I'm pretty sure Chulane's name comes from Cuchulainn, a character from irish mythology, and thus should follow the gaelic pronounciation of that name. I'm no expert on gaelic, so idk if that's what you already did with your pronounciation, just saying for anyone interested.

Thank you! Most of the time that was spend making this video was creating the new assets and animations. So not including those, this video took ~1 hour to write, ~45 minutes to record audio, and ~2 hours to edit compared to gameplays which are ~1.5 hours to record audio, and ~8-10 hours to edit. The time required for these videos will vary depending on how many we make; however, for this one specifically, the writing didn't take very long since I've spent hours upon hours playing and modifying my Chulane deck over the past few months

Great vid guys, good build, carpet of flowers can be handy in the deck I have found and at 8.27 you include a red card, pyroclasam, dont think you are going to be casting that in a Chulane deck.

@@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG fair enough, missed that part. In my Chulane deck, funnily enough, Linvala is in and she draws a lot of hate. Secret to taking on a Chulane deck is, dont let Chulane stay on the field for too long

It's kinda nice to see a competitive deck with Blue/Green that doesn't run Flash or Lab Man.

Hey mate, love these more casual edh but remains competitive via creatures

im making a chulane Tempo deck i need help thinking of "end game value creatures" to add , currently have elder Gargaroth , Hydroid Krasis , Hydra Omnivore, Dream Traler, Kogla .

Nice deck I wish I had like 700 to drop on it lol ive always wanted cedh decks but 600 plus is a lot to drop al at once lol But love the deck tec 😄

I’m new to commander format but I am working on building a Chulane deck, I just have one question for anyone who sees this. Will chulanes passive ability only tigger if I pay his mana cost and summon him from the command zone? Just wondering

Thassas Oracle isnt necessarily a "dead" card, she does have an etb and can be bounced by Chulane to recast if needed for the win

Perhaps this would take running more basic lands then you would normally wish to, but I can't help but feel earthcraft is another option for the deck. With drake, it works similer to the mana breach combo, except instead of returning the land to hand, you just keep tapping/untapping. It makes your mana dorks tap for mana the turn they come out, if you don't have crossroads out. You net mana with intruder alarm out. Heck, when the worst thing I can say about earthcraft is the potential to run squirrel craft combo in the deck, that's fine. And while I would never consider squirrel craft combo viable for CEDH, it lets you draw out with Beck.(I use both Beck and glimpse of nature as redundancy for chulanes draw effect. Perfect options? No. But always useful cards for digging deeper)

How does chulane interact with tap lands

Hey guys, first time commenting here, but do you think that it would be possible to run some decks that are not only competitive but also budget, like between 50-100 dollars

Do you think you could make a episode of this on emry 😳😳

One suggestion: before making these commander introductory videos, make a commander tier list walk down by colors and styles. So people know which commander suits their preference of style and/or color. This way, any future video similar to this Chulane video is easily referenced. For example, if I want to play Bant with a adaptive style, I can choose Chulane, which would lead me to this video.

I was wondering where they got that screen shot from to post in the chulane discord. Btw the hand with sol ring is one you should not Mulligan because it can turn 3 chulane by playing the birds Paradise first into Sol ring and the avacyn's pilgrim it's a bit fragile if you don't top-deck a land

@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG

4 жыл бұрын

I didn't mean to say that hand was a hand to mulligan, my main point was that it was a risky keep. There are a lot of ways this hand can get nullified and set you way back. I personally would keep this hand in the meta I play in; however, if there is a meta that runs a lot of disruption or a meta deck that you know can easily slow down this start, it's very possible that hand gets stuck on 1 land for the first few turns. Not a mulligan, just a risky keep

Video was a pretty good primer for chulane, I have the deck built myself already and had a few questions. 1. Why prowling serpopard over destiny spinner? Destiny spinner is two 2cmc instead of 3, also protects enchantments , and can be an infinite mana outlet. 2. I see a lot of lists that include smothering tithe, but it seems like a dead card in the deck a good portion of the time. The main problem being its 4 mana and doesn’t help you go infinite or help draw into a wincon.

@Sliver_Boi

4 жыл бұрын

Serpopod is in there because it is uncounterable itself. Helps make it almost guaranteed it will stick and make your other creatures uncounterable. I do personally like destiny spinner alot though. Probably wouldn't be bad to throw in there as some redundancy/late game value.

@CasuallyCompetitiveMTG

4 жыл бұрын

Personally I prefer Serpopard because it itself is uncounterable so I treat it like an expensive silence. Destiny Spinner is nice for sure, but it gets hit by low CMC counterspells like Swan Song making it a little less secure. The lower CMC is nice but if I'm at the point where I'm trying to go for it and feel like I need more protection, the extra G is usually worth it. Smothering Tithe is nice because it generates a decent amount of value in games that tend to be more grindy. Ramping out a 4CMC spell isn't super hard in this deck and spending 4 CMC to accrue passive value over the next turn or two can be pretty relevant. It's a bit of a nonbo with the artifact hate, but I've still found it to be a valuable slot in my games
