Death's shadow (if you have 14 or more life in a game where you start at 40) and scourge of the skyclaves (if the player with the highest life total has more than 20 life) often have negative power.

Death's Shadow doesn't work with this, Scourge does. Scourge has star/star power and toughness, so it checks its characteristic defining ability in all zones. Death's Shadow only checks its ability in play, so in all other zones it is a 13/13, making it absolute garbage in a Nethroi deck... but pretty good in, say, a Varolz deck....

My Nethroi deck is a self-mill deck with a bunch of mutate creatures to apply keywords and even more 0/0s that come in with counters on them like "Phantom Nishoba", "Heroes' Bane", and "Embodiment of Agonies". Additional cards like "Phytohydra" and "Managorger Hydra" gives other useful abilities. Sadly it folds pretty hard to repeated graveyard exile so gotta fade all those late game Bogs.

So that's kind of neat :3

Thank you so much for the inspiration. Been working on a decklist for this ever since this first came out three months ago, finally got the order submitted today.

So many funky steps you gotta finish all your tasks before you can blow someone out the airlock but if you want to see a bunch of 10/10's reanimated at the same time modular is definitely where you want to be since you can reanimate corpsejack menace, winding constrictor, kami of whispering hope, and benevolent hydra in one mutate and still bring back all 18 modular creatures (we dont include the sunburst one) and still have 2 power of reanimate left over just to spite people.

If you are playing a soul sisters style Nethroi deck, Scourge of the Skyclaves can actually go even further beyond. If you have 60 life, which is very easy in these kinda decks, its p/t is -40/-40. Nethroi is also a sleeper pick as a mass reanimator in the 99 of Doran, the Siege Tower decks since those decks tend to play a critical mass of 0 power, high toughness creatures
@Commander_Skullblade9 ай бұрын
I'm utterly shocked nobody is talking about the absolute crime synergy that is Scourge of the Skyclaves. Don't know how it works? You're going to need some bleach after this one. Scourge of the Skyclaves has P/T equal to (20 - h), where h is the highest life total among players. It's a */*, meaning this power and toughness is calculated in all zones. Because of this, Scourge of the Skyclaves is a -20/-20 at the start of an EDH game. Cast Entomb, Unmarked Grave, or Buried Alive and slap Scourge into the graveyard. When reanimating with Nethroi, the -20 counts towards the total power, meaning Nethroi reanimates according to (p - 20 = 10), where p is the amount of power you reanimate. In layman's terms, Nethroi now reanimates for THIRTY POWER.

Death's Shadow only checks its ability in play, so in all other zones it is a 13/13, making it absolute garbage in a Nethroi deck... but pretty good in, say, a Varolz deck....

@Darchias and Shadow doesn't even count negative life anymore after that one deck abused it like a lone gym sock, so it maxes out at 13.
Slicer “group hug” voltron always gives me a good laugh.
As a proud Illuna discount Cacade deck enjoyer, can agree. We do not build wide, we build tall. Until we randomly gacha a wincon and beat everyone's face in at once. When an Apex mutates, it better be your goddamn win con, because lord help you if you get a second turn.

Ad a umbrella employee, I mean otrimi infect player, I agree. You want the biggest tower of meat for mutate
I play him as the commander for a three-color Reanimator Hydra deck that wants to turn as many 0/0 hydras to the battlefield just so they can die for blood artist effects or for the hidden commander, polukranos the reborn's wurm coil side. It's a very fun deck

if you don't mind, what's your decklist? it sounds very interesting and hilarious to play against other people
One of the bucket list decks I want to build is a nethroi combo deck where you put a bunch of hydras + blood artist effects in the yard and then reanimate 20 0/0s that die immediately and drain the whole table out

Use phyrexian Polukranos to get a ton of 3/3s, too
I'm still hoping for a Chulane roast someday, and now's a great time with the release of Wilds of Eldraine, so I will once again request it.
would love to see you pull of a modular deck with this also love the no hesitation 'no it cant get it'
Personally, I prefer to make my Nethroi reanimate as many relentless rats as possible.

I haven't tried nethroi modular, but I made a really good Hamza one. One turn you have a few teeny robots, and the next you're drawing 3 cards for each one you play and they're all FREE. Then you play 5 counter doublers, a sac outlet, and a walking ballista and watch the world burn

That sounds hilarious. Selesnya affinity, brilliant 😂
I had a deck list all tee'd up for a Nethroi, Apex of Walls deck, with self mill, a ton of 0 power walls, and specific creatures to tutor up other creatures/enchantments that make walls into monsters. Never ended up making it, but now that you've reminded me I think I just might.
My Nethroi deck is a self-mill deck with a bunch of mutate creatures to apply keywords and even more 0/0s that come in with counters on them like "Phantom Nishoba", "Heroes' Bane", and "Embodiment of Agonies". Additional cards like "Phytohydra" and "Managorger Hydra" gives other useful abilities. Sadly it folds pretty hard to repeated graveyard exile so gotta fade all those late game Bogs.
So happy to see this. I've been brewing a Modular Nethroi deck for a while. It is a weird sort of balancing act but if I can pull it off it will be SO satisfying.
My wife's Nethroi has a ton of creatures that are 0/0 but come back with counters on them. Things like Polukranos, Unchained and Noosegraf Mob. Makes for a late game board state even with multiple board wipes and interaction from others. One of my favorites flavor-wise
I'd love to see you roast Mizzix of the Izmagnus, for when you only have one red mana but you still really need to cast demonfire for 20.
I continue to ask for Yeva, Because Seedborne Muse Needed the Help
Dying at "Poop Knife Lenny" 😂😂 Also, Nethroi turns Buried Alive into a 1 card win condition if you cast it and find Protean Hulk, Viscera Seer, Blood Artist, and Restoration Angel, then Mutate Nethroi to return and use the Hulk line to find Karmic Guide returning Hulk to play, then use the line again to find Reveillark and place the ETB on the stack to sacrifice Karmic Guide and Restoration Angel to the Seer, thus returning both of them to play with the trigger and then blinking the Reveillark with the Restoration Angel ETB and returning Hulk with the Karmic Guide ETB and then present a loop of sacrificing the creatures with their own triggers on the stack with Blood Artist in play. So that's kind of neat :3
Thank you so much for the inspiration. Been working on a decklist for this ever since this first came out three months ago, finally got the order submitted today. And just to clarify, I did focus the deck around the modular nethroi concept mixing the archetypes of mass reanimation and hardened scales to produce a glorious, "oh no I forgot to keep up counterspell mana, where'd that army of undead eldritch horrors come from?" Moment at the table that I am excited to get to resolve exactly once before becoming public enemy #1 across the lands. Hope to do you proud with the degeneracy!
I think I'm gonna join you on that modular train, that shit sounds hilarious
I took that modular sentence as a goddamn challenge and wound up making an overly complicated kci walking ballista one shot deck. So many funky steps you gotta finish all your tasks before you can blow someone out the airlock but if you want to see a bunch of 10/10's reanimated at the same time modular is definitely where you want to be since you can reanimate corpsejack menace, winding constrictor, kami of whispering hope, and benevolent hydra in one mutate and still bring back all 18 modular creatures (we dont include the sunburst one) and still have 2 power of reanimate left over just to spite people.
All I could think was "Ya' know 0 is a number??" 🤔
I recently had a bunch of fun playing Drivnod modular. It's a lovely mechanic I wish hadn't been pushed into boros when it got revisited, but still oozes charm, regardless. (Also, as always, requesting Urtet!)
How are you always so damn clever with these? Seriously
Looking forward to whatever video the modular nethroy deck shows up in
Didn't even mention the most sus thing with Nethroi. Roiling Horror and Scourge of the Skyclaves. These have the lovely distinction of usually having greatly negative power. And when adding up to a total these negatives indeed subtract, giving you a free disgusting bonus to the power you can reanimate.
These videos are fuckin hilarious. I still hope to see a Rhys the Redeemed video someday. It was my first commander and he created some amazing moments for me against the boys
Currently building Nethroi in arena entirely with the purpose of reanimating one of the fucked up Abzan/Golgari/Selesnya hobbit combos that we keep getting more of and I’m not gonna lie it’s really funny
I would 100% be willing to give modular version permission to go off. Heck I will build a kingmaker deck just to see it happen
Where's my homegirl Marwyn at? I gotta see the purest concentration of elf hate possible.
BUT HAVE YOU CONSIDERED, Sliver Tribal.
Made a Nethroi 0-power tribal deck when Ikoria released. The look on people's faces was hilarious when I just created a huge pile of large butts before uttering the phrase "I cast Doran, the Siege Tower".
I'm amazed you didn't drag Scourge of the Skyclaves alongside Nethroi. Shits insane, like that's an extra 20 power of elves you can reanimate Or a second copy of craterhoof behemoth and 15 power worth of elves

If you are playing a soul sisters style Nethroi deck, Scourge of the Skyclaves can actually go even further beyond. If you have 60 life, which is very easy in these kinda decks, its p/t is -40/-40. Nethroi is also a sleeper pick as a mass reanimator in the 99 of Doran, the Siege Tower decks since those decks tend to play a critical mass of 0 power, high toughness creatures
I'm utterly shocked nobody is talking about the absolute crime synergy that is Scourge of the Skyclaves. Don't know how it works? You're going to need some bleach after this one. Scourge of the Skyclaves has P/T equal to (20 - h), where h is the highest life total among players. It's a */*, meaning this power and toughness is calculated in all zones. Because of this, Scourge of the Skyclaves is a -20/-20 at the start of an EDH game. Cast Entomb, Unmarked Grave, or Buried Alive and slap Scourge into the graveyard. When reanimating with Nethroi, the -20 counts towards the total power, meaning Nethroi reanimates according to (p - 20 = 10), where p is the amount of power you reanimate. In layman's terms, Nethroi now reanimates for THIRTY POWER.
“Poop knife lane” lol😂
Love your vids
My man, this boy is in Siege Rhino and Trag Tusk colors. He's a PTSD machine
Ahhh my favorite causal deck. I use it as a reainamator deck using as many Godzilla cards as possible (that includes Biollante alt art) Best thing is grabbing all my zero power players (Kolarian Hydra, Golgari Troll, lord of extinction, tree of perdition, Ghave, and a couple others) while also using low power creatures with great ETB’s. And because I love it so much, I threw in Filth and an Urborg, Tomb of Yahgmoth, just in case I’m playing someone who doesn’t have black.

I'm honestly trying to slap together a Nic Fit list for Legacy *just* to play the Biollante version in that format, I just can't decide between Junk (so I can also play Mothra) or BUG (for Attractions). Might be a 4-color special so I can do both, not gonna lie.
We're eventually going to need a compilation of every "poop knife" reference, lol!
Got the Biollante print as the commander of a toxic deck. It's pretty fun
You forgot my favorite version - Dredging some obnoxious infinite combo.
you had your fingers crossed at the end here huh
Crushin’ it as always, but I’m here in Round 11 of askin’ for my boy Greven, Predator Captain to be allowed to take the stand!
"Modular Nethroi"... Thank you, I have plans again
Bro that boi can get it like yo what that tongue do!
Finally one of my commanders made it to the front of the line. My Nethroi deck focuses on low power creatures with powerful etb's. Ravenous chupacabra, hornet queen, bane of progress etc. Tortured existence is also a fun card in this deck especially if you use it to dump a golgari grave troll into the hard every activation
We gotta get the chaotic goose that is Lord of Tresserhorn
Hey great vid as always. But the true apex of death is when you turn heartless hidestugu sideways and nuke the whole table.
Had to stop at 1:37 to leave a comment. You’re gold normally but that planet fitness followed by brazzers premium jokes are certified platinum, danke for the laughs
I have a Nethroi deck, it's aristocrats. I play a mini game of 'get 10 power worth of creatures in the graveyard, reanimate them, see if I win instantly' - I do not dump any specific creatures in there, it's just whatever flops in with dredge. My playgroup is surprisingly OK with it because we keep finding different interactions with some weird cards and it never wins the same way twice. I only take 20 minute turns about 10% of the time!
My two favorite kinds of creatures to put in the graveyard here. 0/0's that enter with many counters, or the */*'s that are power and toughness equal to your life total or hand size.
We need to roast Sefris. Also known as "That infinite combo bitch larping as a dungeon deck"
I lost it at "Poopknife lenny"
for modular, i think approaching with some enchantments that increases +1/+1 counters are enough alongside some mill
I need you to roast the criminal that is Heliod, The Warped Eclipse.
I made a modular nethroi wdh deck before and it was really fun. I even milled someone because of alter of dementia. It was really fun but I had to take it apart because it got too easy to stop.
Mald, any day you bring Modular Nethroi to my table is a day i let that shit get off. Because i will also laugh forever.
Man, You are giving so many new commanders to try out some time. Anyway, Brudiclad next plz bro
My first thought was archon of the wild rose and Gylwain with a bunch of normally 0/2 or 0/1 creatures. You could throw in ellivere or doomwake giant if you wanna do big damage/clear the field. I wish I knew about Nethroi while I was playing my Abzan aura deck.
Nethroi is a sorcery in the command zone. And is also super fun to play
i've also been making a modular nethroi for a while it's surprisingly good
As someone who has been trying to build nethroi decks for a while, your suggestion for a modular nethroi deck isn't to far off from what i consider the best strategy for nethroi, which is creatures who lie about their power and toughness, like fertilid, bane of progress, and kalonian hydra.

Add to that a LOT of +1/+1 counter synergy, especially since Selesnya is the colour that gets a ton of those, and it's not like those decks don't mind running a few aristocrats anyways.
I’ve finally made an Imodane ,the Pyrohammer deck and I’d love to see what you think of my Lightning Bolt Tribal.
alternatively, a mass reanimator for your entire infinite combo :3
You forgot to mention, Scourge of the Skyclaves! As a -20/-20 in the yard, he lets Nethroi reanimate an additional 20 powers worth of creatures! Also Heliod, the Radiant Dawn roast when
So modular is cool but going for creatures like fertalid and yorvo (as examples) so that you basically cast living end is where it's at. If this sounds like your style of thing, I would recommend hermit druid or dredge as a sub theme for the deck. There's also the get many many small dudes back with a carrion feeder and blood artist lines that get it real good.
I feel like Nethroi and ShadowBorn apostles would actually slay (themselves), and provide good synergy.
Wow. Jokes on point as ever 😹 loved the bit about only getting it to work against blind hospital children. Day like 30 of asking for zacama and like 7 of asking for wasitora
Scourage of the skyclave synergizes well with him, though. It is one in the 99, but it's strong enough to warrant combos with it.
My friend had a Modular Nethroi deck, and it fucks. Get you one!
I know it’s early but I would love to see you do Kellen the Fae Blooded.
This commander is so underrated. He absolutely wrecks in a value based deck. Draw, ramp, removal, sac outlets, combo pieces all brought back at once. Landfall triggers go hard. I had to stop playing him because I ground out wins so much.
I built a "mudular" Nethroi deck (no modular creatures, but a bunch of 0/0's that enter with counters). It's especially deadly when you mutate upon your basic tramply 4/4, and oops it's now a 9/9 trample deathtouch with 20 new friends
Now this is where my Doran the siege tower treefolk toughness works really well. You wouldn’t think it but it is really good.
As soon as I saw this card I thought about modular. I built modular alesha who smiles at death and it has been a pretty fun deck. The idea is I build up a bunch of counters then instant speed sac all my guys with an atog or arcbound ravager to pump up the one that is unblocked. I need to add some more mass reanimator to it though.
Yeah, he's a fantastic card in defender decks and in the best colors for it. Shit like tree of perdition, and creatures deal damage via toughness go hard on him.
And here I've been using Nethroi to bring back 5 rat colonies
Another good one that I played against once was a rat colony deck
Ah yes good ol dredge into pocket combo
I have this...built it kind of weird with aristocrats/dies triggers, and a cheesy combo with scourge of the skyclaves. usually always has negative power, so you can bring back so much more stuff >:3

Throw in some incidental lifegain and go complete ham. Why settle for reanimating a mere 30 power worth when you can send that number through the roof?
i have a nethroi deck, it is 1/3 infect, 1/3 mutation and 1/3 aristocrats it is jankie, it is clunky, but most of all, it is fun as hell Reanimating every single infect card from the grave, mutatuing so they are now flying and hitting constanstly 4 or 5 flying infect. Freaking love it man
I don’t even have to watch the video to know it’s worth a like button.
I fucking love the Ikoria Apexes, they were a cool cycle of tricolor commanders. Please do another one next
Deathroi, Apex of Neth.
Dude I have a Nethroi deck that's using all the Modular stuff and it's intense. Most games I win if I get to play the commander once, man's on another level
theres some fun 0/0 hydras without x Costs that fit with the Modular idea pretty well too

I have a Nethroi deck that's perhaps a little unorthodox. Big Mill Nethroi. Mill most of my deck into my graveyard, using Nethroi not as a reanimation strategy but as a stalling tactic, putting creatures I can sacrifice for value as well as creatures with Regrowth effects on them to get the true prize: Eerie Ultimatum, Living Death, or Rise of the Dark Realms. Oh, and I have Odric Lunarch Marshal, Vorinclex, and Fynn in there along with a bunch of other big beaters. I'm sure Mald would absolutely HATE my deck lmao
Nethroi is amazing..... asking again for the tax evader atla palani nest tender!
...I started playing mtg just before the original Mirodin. The Arcbound creatures and Modular is one of my favorite mechanics. And my god. Mass modular reanaimation...
I play him as my commander in Historic Brawl for Cat Tribal. It's absolutely fantastic, especially with Orphan Guard.
