Cut-Rate Commander - Episode 70 - Featuring Skrelv Defector Mite from Phyrexia All Will Be One #mtg #commander #edh #mtgphyrexia #mtgone
We've been able to track down the miniature but mighty Phrexian Mite Skrelv, Defector Mite from Phyrexia: All Will Be One to helm our latest build and to prove once and for all that toxic things can come in small packages.
In this build, we'll be aiming to combine double striking creatures with Skrelvs ability to grant them toxic and pseudo-protection against colors to turn them into untargetable, unblockable, poison delivery systems. Of course that means we'll be running a huge amount of low to the ground double striking creatures to hit the ground early and begin benefiting from Skrelv's ability as soon as possible, alongside a myriad of ways to untap Skrelv and get extra uses out of him. Couple that that a handful of extra sources of poison counters and proliferate to give us a bit of extra reach and we have a build that will teach our opponents that the most toxic poison comes from the smallest creatures.
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.

    Lil bugger gonna result in some BIIIG damage! Amazing build as always! As for the vote... Dominus Red takes my vote, since all the others are kinda... dona already. White one is just Anointed Procession on legs, Blue one is just Doubling Season on legs, Black one is just Teysa Markov, and Green one... I can't recall what card it was, but I SWEAR there was a creature/enchantment that doubled stats. Or more of them. Unlike the Red one, whom I can only think of one Enchantment equivalent, which triples instead. Day 570 of waiting for the face reveal. So, WotC is going full Endgame with March of the Machines by the looks of it... thoughts?

    Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Solphim, Mayhem Dominus does seem to be the run away favorite at this time, which doesn't really have a true counterpart (the closest would be Angrath's Marauders, but that applies to all damage, not just non-creature). And the green card you're thinking of is Unnatural Growth, which does the same thing Zopandrel does. Regarding MOM, I'm really hype for it honestly! All the stuff spoiled is so over the top and cool, it feel like what War of the Spark should have been. I'm just worried that WotC may have set the bar too high now, as I have no idea how they would ever replicate this in the future.

    Super spicy. Won the first game I played with it. One 1/1 double striker does 2 damage and delivers 8 poison damage. I'm not sure how well it will work as they know what it can do now, but great fun to play. Elesh norn (old one) completely shut the deck down. Definitely a weakness of it. I'd love to upgrade it even futher.

    This deck is just what I was looking for. I think Staff of Compleation can be a good fit here since you can untap it with the other artifact untappers in the deck and proliferate for the win. But it may come down to personal preference since Staff of Domination can untap Skrelv, and since you're most likely going to be paying 2 life to use Skrelv's ability, paying life to activate Staff of Compleation could be risky late game.

    Since the deck uses Halo Fountain, for those looking to up the budget of the deck can replace Your Temple with Grand Crescendo, allowing you to still pay a minimum of 3 cmc, granting your creatures indestructible while also giving you a 1/1 creature token, or for each used to spend in the X, you can potentially flood the board with more tokens, making the Halo Fountain win con more of a possibility. And as mentioned, Skrelv's Hive can also provide extra tokens plus Lifelink to all creatures with Toxic.

  • @Magnusovich

    An interesting deck for an interesting commander. It's always strange to see such a low to the ground deck in a format with a high end reputation. For playing the deck, do you recommend targeting a single person and knocking the table out one by one, or to "spread the love" as it were? I remember your original Fynn the Fangbearer deck tech recommended the latter. Regarding the Urtet Upset, I suspect the reason might be because a lot of content creators have already covered Urtet (indeed Urtet is THE most popular commander from ONE/ONC), whereas Chiss-Goria has been covered far less. This should a good opportunity to show what an underplayed commander is capable of.

  • @GrazzetMTG

    @GrazzetMTG

    Жыл бұрын

    Glad you enjoyed it! For this build, since we're even lower to the ground than green and have less access to good sources of proliferate, the best course of action would be to focus on one opponent until they are knocked out, then move on to the next one (Making it a bit meaner than Fynn overall). And I suppose the Chiss-Goria win makes sense when put in that context - folks just haven't seen enough builds with him I suppose.

    I’ll definitely second the one by one approach with Skrelv. Since he lack’s proliferate it’s far more effective and he’s easy to get ganged up on. The issue is when someone gets 8 poison counters, but better to remove them first. Watch out for artifact creatures.

    It certainly can, since it can spread double strike to our non-double striking creatures and give evasion to our double strikers (sicne we have a decent number of fliers in the build). Sadly it doesn't spread the hexproof, unblockability, and toxic Skrelv provides though.
