Pretty surprised that Voja didn't make this list, it's a pretty popular and powerful commander.

Who cares? he’s pretty fair in cedh decks and should be treated like all the other powerful commanders such as narset in anything below cedh.
The 'attacks an opponent' language on kaalia is because the later language about the angel/dragon/demon that comes into the field. Specifically it's to remove any ambiguity about which opponent is being attacked by that new creature.

If u are running battles in your kaalia deck then it is your deckbuilding problem lol
Kaalia's text reads "tapped and attacking that opponent" because if the match is multiplayer you could choose to have the cheated creature attack another opponent if it did not
crazy how 3 pretty OLD commanders ARE STILL SUPER O.P. AND PRESENT !!!
You know that you are the Threat if you do politics with your Opponents lands in Satya Decks, with land destruction
Kalia says “that opponent” because it is specifying that it has to attack the opponent the triggering creature is attacking. It can’t come into play attacking any opponent.
Looking at this list tells me that you really need to get out and play some more.

Can confirm Mothman is dope. I haven't touched my precon and it consistently wins against tuned and mid-tier decks
Gonna have to disagree with you assessment of Omo. With the everything counters and tron lands it's SUPER easy to get your mana pool set up, and with the mana reflection enchantment that's also in the precon you're tapping them for 6 colorless. Omo has you practically swimming in mana which makes those big hydras even more scary. Last game I played with her ended with 18x 18/18 hydras on the board. Omo goes hard as a commander.

@@Xonides How did it get to 7 8/8s? Assuming 6 lands going into to turn 4, which becomes 8 after Ulvenwald Hydra's ETB and the land drop for the turn, that'd mean 8 or maybe 9 mana in turn 5 for Aggressive Biomancy, which would create 3 tokes, but not 6, bcause the card's cost is XXGB. With the Hydra's copies' ETBs and a land drop that'd be somewhere around 13 lands for turn 6 and swinging with 4 13/13s then?

that's annihilator. It's like torturing a person. You take them down, piece by piece until they are left with nothing, but they are still alive.
Ulalek under azlask is wild. A good ulalek will obliterate aslask before you can accrue any experience tokens Also- three words, Kaalia land destruction. Your pod is too nice to you 🤣
This is just my opinion, but: -Sauron, Ur-Dragon, and Miirym are A tier imo. Sauron is not only great colors for reanimator, but also makes a token that's great for sacrifice effects and probably one the craziest ward ability to protect him. The Ur-Dragon is a lot of mana, but just by being your commander, it discounts any and all of your dragons. Dragons are very well supported and being able to choose the best ones at a permanent discount is quite strong. It's only held back because of the double-edged sword of being a WUBRG commander. Miirym doesn't have as much to work with, but is similarly strong due to being able to double the value of any dragon you play and having ward is a significant factor. It might actually be B tier, but it competes with Ur Dragon often, so I'd just put them together. -Pantlaza, Zhulodok, Kaalia, and Mothman are B tier imo. Pantlaza is pretty good at ramping into other combo pieces, ramp, or into your important dinosaurs. Similar to the Ur-Dragon, Pantlaza is great because Dinosaurs are a strong and well supported tribe, so its quite easy to swing things in your favor. Zhulodok does have the disadvantage of being colorless... but colorless is actually really easy to ramp, and that's exactly what he wants you to do. Don't underestimate Cascade. Kaalia being able to cheat in the best of the main big creatures in each of her colors is stupid good. The main thing holding her back, though, is that everyone knows this, and she needs a lot of help to stay on the board. Mothman is probably a little biased on my part, but I cannot stress enough how often I've seen players underestimate rad counters. And how often players think this commander sucks because they built it as a "win through mill" deck but forget to include payoffs like sidisi. It's also the best mill colors imo.
Would you prefer Pantlaza or Gishath for Dinosaur Tribal? I like to think that while Pantlaza is a more safe option, Gishath has a higher ceiling if it manages to hit.
@rutgernouwens
6 күн бұрын
I'd say Gishath is more straight forward, Pantlaza has a higher ceiling. Gishath will run more ramp and combat tricks, Pantlaza wants to emphatize more on etbs (blink, flash, burn). I ran dinos with Gishath at the helm and now Pantlaza pilots the deck. They are both very fun, my only issue with having 8 mana in the command zone is that it can be frustrating to get started.

As a pantlaza player, with a deck full of huge and impactful dinos, as well as a very heavy ramp package that allows for multiple heavy spells a turn, Id pick pantlaza over gishath any day because it racks me up much more value in the long run on top of making my choices more versatile with being allowed to put a spell I don't wish to cast in that moment to my hand. You're more likely to wiff off of gishath then you ever will with pantlaza.
I usually switch out my Korvold for Ziatora or Prossh depending on my pod strength. Hes just…ugh so good lmao. I cant believe all the treasure support that’s been coming out one after another.
Satya and phasing out the tokens can/ could be broken if done right (phasing out doesn't kill tokens)

Necrobloom can be an easy A tier honestly. Landfall is strong. Add in a way to add extra draw and dredge lands you want. Entomb would be strong in it i feel. Cultivator collosuss, avenger of zendikar, scuteswarm. Etc.
For kaalia it's that opponent not just an opponent so you can't cheat in a card and attack someone else
What about Najeela the Blade Blossom she has a lot of combo potential and can really be fun!
I would've tiered them up the same. Although half the commanders in B tier I feel CAN fall in a spot between A&S because well... because mid range. 😂

Omo and maze's end lol

surprised azlask is below ulalek. ulalek introduces insane infinite combos with eldrazis with flash, and any instant that bounces. ulalek is also much easier to utilize in my opinion but its cool to see azlask receiving praise
Nadu out here comboing with a ham sandwich
So early for this one
I've destroyed all those commanders and KEPT on par with the amount of vampires that edgar makes with Caesar. I've swung 30 soldiers that are 6/6 at someone dealing 30 dmg while making 2 tapped and attacking soldiers with an additional combat phase so many times on spelltable, at a family function and with my mtg group. He needs to be up there, I just kill mothman and board wipe then start the shenanigans all over again😩
Built a new deck with the new Ashling at the head. Put basilisk collar on her and watch people cry as you consistently board wipe them
How is ur dragon a c tier
Personally I think Ur-Dragon is S and Miirym is A due to all the cost reductions you can get for these dragons.
How is urza not on the list
the gap between casual and cedh are way to close.
Omo on this Lust and voja Not... Ok😅
Pantalaza and Ur-Dragon definitely deserve an A. Personally. Anyone agree? 🤔
All this just for my 20/20 ward 3 wolf to 1 tap you
I have some (hopefully) constructive criticism. I notice when you read the commander's text, you rush through it as fast as you can talk, as if you're thinking "I know this is boring and you don't wanna hear me read this, audience; lemme just read it fast so the new guys can get it." Well, I'm a new guy. I don't know what most of these commander's text is. I wanna hear it, that's part of the informational value of the video - in order to understand these commanders, I have to understand what they do, and reading cards is part of the game. Here's my main problem - when you read fast, you almost completely stop enunciating. You mumble heavily, and I can't understand what you're saying. So the experienced guys still have to wait while you read the commander's text for anyone who doesn't know it, but people like me can't really make out what you're saying (I assume I'm not alone). So, it doesn't really help either group. And I gotta pause and look at the screen to read the card. Can you still enunciate the words clearly while you read fast? Or, alternately, can you slow it down enough that you're able to maintain enunciation so we can make out what you're saying? Thank you!
