Thanks for the deck tech Mitch. But to be honest, I really miss the old format, where you explained the purpose of each card and 10 groups and then the reasonable upgrades. That was for me the core of your channel. Keep up the great work and happy new year!

Glad you posted this at the end of 2020 cause I am so ready to end it's turn.

Great tech. Probably the best budget version of Obeka. Looks like a fun build

This is a little off, but I kinda wish you'd do a few episodes on how certain decks FAIL. It seems all the deck techs are about the persuasiveness of win cons, and never tell us how yhey are weak. Just a possibility for future vids.

Yeah definitely! It can even be in a more productive way, looking at how to work around a deck's limitations. Like for Obeka; always look out for those effects that can shut down your time shennanagins, especially when a "lose the game" trigger is on the stack. Just things to keep in mind for someone new to a deck or archetype, so they dont end up wrecking themselves by playing into a wrath while running tokens or things of that sort. Hope I'm making sense here.

I’m so glad I got this one in a pack! I’m going through every blue, black, red and colorless looking for “at the beginning of the next end step” and “at the end of turn” “on your end step” it seems like a fun play style and adds life to some old unused cards.

Be sure to check Gatherer oracle text. A number of "end of turn" were errated to read as "endstep". I just finished my Obeka deck as clone/theft shenanigans and there were several end of turn cards that were changed.

Obeka is one of my new favorite commanders. Don’t sleep on glorious end. It’s crazy good

I know you needed to put the credits but you should have just had her tapping at the end of the video and made it cut short. lol. Love this cards btw. All of the pirates really

I love how quickly these new deck techs are coming out, keep up the great work!

Been thinking of crafting this myself over the last week, thanks for saving my budget!

Personally I'm going full tilt in the "chronology" with my obeka deck. Im gonna throwing things like: sphinx of the second sun, suspend stuff, upkeep triggers, things that allow me to cast stuff at instant speed. And I know it's a little degenerate but infinite turn combos. All to just have fun with playing with time.

Omg so I had to pause the vid then came back and started it as he did the freeze thing. Totally got me.

My idea for an Obeka build was running every act of treason type effect I can find. Zealous Conscripts with Blade of Selves seemed too good/mean an idea to pass up. I’m naming the deck “It’s treason then”.

Love this. I built a Kess deck a little while ago, using tons of threaten effects and sac outlets to control the board. I'm swapping in Obeka as commander, so I can keep everything I steal. Works better than you may think!

What a good video to end off 2020, super on theme!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Obeka, it allows tons of shenanigans and it's so much fun when played! I looked through the upgraded decklist, Sedris, the traitor king could be a killer in an Obeka Reanimator

Man, even doing an encore deck with Obeka would be amazing to do.

Thanks for helping me understand Obeka!

Been waiting for this one!

My favourite thing with Obeka is playing a bounce land or lotus field and ending the turn, exiling the triggers.

Now you can literally "end" your opponents' career.

Happy new year! Mitch! Keep it going! Great year full of great contend! Made me forget Covid many times :-)

Phage and cards like Final Fortune really like Obeka.

A lot of cards in the deck don’t work the way you think with obeka. They have to mention end step, not just end of turn. Your turn is still ending, so “end of the turn” effects still end, but if you never have an end step, then end step triggers won’t happen. And even then, it has to be YOUR end step. If it just says “next end step” and you skip yours, it’ll just happen on your opponent’s end step.

@alexking8965

Half right. End of turn still happen. But if it is exiled and your endstep it is EXILED so it would not happen on your opponents next endstep. It's confusing because you usually don't deal with this stuff but that's how it has been ruled

Also, Minion Reflector effects suck in these decks because the ability is put on the creature and will trigger on EVERY end step.

IK this comment was a while ago, but clarifying for future people. If there is a delayed trigger at your next end step, you must wait for that trigger to hit the stack. At this point, you can end the turn through Obeka or Sundial of the infinite. The trigger WILL NOT happen again, effectively negating things like Flameshadow Conjuring and Feldon's downsides. However, if you do not allow the trigger to hit the stack, it WILL trigger the next time that it could. That being said, "until end of turn" effects WILL end and cannot be avoided, as these are not delayed triggers and instead are apart of the original effect (ex: +3/+3 until end of turn.) If anyone wants a specific ruling, I'm happy to provide it. Obeka also has a ruling explanation on her gatherer's page. Happy Endings! One of my favorites: Play Lotus Field. When Lotus Field's ETB hits the stack, end the turn. Free Lotus Field!

Finally I can complete my Obeka and Yurlock decks

YEEEEEEEEES!!! Edit: Also! Happy New Year Mitch! Keep doing the great job!

I really liked leaning into the Chronologist theme and putting in some timespiral cards. Suspends, split seconds, etc.

This deck is great! Would absolutely love to see a break the bank on it sometime in the future!

Great video! Now I have yet another commander deck that I want to brew! Haha

Ive been a purely digital arena player since I discovered magic a little over a year ago (just after eldraine), but I just recently decided to get into paper with commander, and I made Obeka as my first commander because she seemed very unique, fun, and janky. So cool to see mitch pull up his list of recommendations and see so many crossovers from the stuff I ended up getting. My deck ended up going much more the route of making tokens, stealing opponents stuff, and resource management, rather than reanimating my own creatures, but it's still super fun and Im glad I chose her.

Epiphany at the Drownyard is such an amazing card for this deck I never heard of! Need to add it! :DO

Secondary note, although not with Obeka but with a theme from a card like Time Stop or Dissipation you can _seriously_ ruin a blink-user's strategy as blink (unlike flicker which is instantaneous) will return things _at the next end step._ If you use a secondary form of time shenanigan to remove the opponent's End Step, those things that got blinked _remain in exile._

My favorite this is my opponent saying "at the end of your turn" and me replying, "how bout' nah?"

END OF 2020's TURN... hopefully 2021 is better for most people ✌

Another great draw card is Grafted Skullcap, nice deck!

Happy new year Mitch!!! And Happy birthday to me

this is a good decklist. I dont know what i would switch out at this time. The only additions I could find would be slave of bolas, maybe broodbirth viper if the ending of turn gets around their limiter of end of combat.

Footsteps of Goryo is suuuuuch value here, wow

Did anyone else think they paused the video?! Lol well played

This new commander has been the bane of my existence since my boy picked up a box of commander masters. My favorite commander norin the wary gets hard countered when he fizzles the end of turn trigger. Ive had to resort to kamikazee-ing him by zedruu gifting a nine lives and scooping so he dies from the trigger, just to send a message

I liked your old format with the 10 strategies and the current card price listed. Those videos were so much more polished and useful for me to make my own brew. I hope you take the feedback from the comments section.

I do really want to give this a try. Although honestly, partly just tp leave her up so that when player A tries to do something in player B's end step I can be like "Player B, do you wish to end the turn?"

I'm so pleased at my Obeka deck. Mirror March, Splinter Twin, Glorious End, Thunderheads, Slave of Bolas, Stone Idol Trap, Demonic Pact.... I am READY to get my table together again so I can shout ZA WARUDO at some time stoppage. Oh, and Time Stop, of course.

I'm surprised you didn't even mention the isochron scepter + final fortune combo for infinite turns, though they aren't exactly budget cards they won't break your bank

At least I live on in the reasonable upgrades :)

I'd lean into black and put in gray merchant and kokusho. Probably also run stuff like grave pact and dictate to erebos. I know those 2 might seem contrary to the main idea of obeka but if obeka is dealt with often then the frame work of the deck would still work well with those 2 enchantments. I'd probably also throw a phyrexian reclamation in for some repeated value. Heat shimmer would probably find it's way in their. Hellkite courser would definitely find a home in the deck. Last 2 off the top of my head would be Sneak attack and Desolation.

I was running Obeka in my Inalla Archmage ritualist deck, and I somehow Missed that Araumi is also a wizard so that's pretty Neato 😂

They would if you skipped you end step entirely. The gimmick is to move to your end step and and then end the turn with those triggers on the stack.

You could target Lord Xander, the Collector from the new set with some of the dying and ETB triggers to make your opponents keep cutting their hand in half and sacrificing half of their non land permanents.

Until the end of turn effects still take place tho. Next end step however is a totally valid use

You’re the best Mitch!

I miss the 10 tactics.

Is there an easy way to see which cards are errattaed to next end step from end of turn effects? The rulings seem to mean that you can stop next end step stuff but not just end of turn effects. It seems random which cards were updated versus the ones that still keep end of turn.

Final fortune on a stick with this would be nasty

What's the best way to protect Obeka because it seems that without her the whole thing falls apart and all the cool things dissappear at end of turn?

I believe end of turn must resolve normally

Obeka is SOOOOO good!

"End of turn" can be shut off. "End of next end step" will be checked again at the end of the next turn. You can still get away with a lot but only the abilities that say end of turn UNLESS you are able to also end the turn after yours will you get the other cards value.

Have you through about flicker effects because you exile opponent stuff for ever

Been doing a little research on this one since I have a chaos deck I decided to use Obeka as the commander for giggles and a little bit more diplomacy (and also to save me from accidentally shooting myself in the foot with wild evocation and omen machine). While digging into it a little it looks like 'until end of turn' effects are NOT stopped with Obeka because there is no trigger put on the stack and they simply end at cleanup, which Obeka skips to. At next end step effects ARE still ended with Obeka though, which makes the card selection a LOT more niche and difficult to work around if what i've read is correct. I'm hoping I'm wrong because perma-nerfing your opponents board with polymorphist's jest just sounds hilairous but unless someone else knows otherwise....

@Lucas-zf6vp

No, you are exactly correct. "until end of turn" effects end at cleanup as a part of their original effect. So, you must prioritize delayed trigger stuff for maximum synergy. There's SO much fun stuff to do with that though.

You end the turn at the beginning of the next end step. Obekas ability goes on the stack, you stack things how you want them (end of turn triggers), and put obekas ability before anything bad that happens. Everything else is exiled/doesn't happen. I use jin-gitaxias, core augur so I stack the draw 7 at the beginning of the end step, then obekas ability so anything after that wouldn't happen like sacrificing creatures.

Those say 'until the end of the turn', and if you look at the reminder text on Obeka it says 'until end of turn effects end'. So those would expire.

Ideas Unbound doesn't make sense to me. Don't you only draw the cards when it resolves which means you'll still need to discard cards when you end your turn (naturally or through Obeka)?

you don't entirely skip your end step. You go to the beginning of your end step, wait for all the triggers to go on the stack, then end the turn. This basically exiles the triggers and since they already triggered, they won't trigger again
