Really glad that you are showing the alternate commanders. most other channels only do the 1 showcase and almost always show the face, but since you do multiple vids its nice to get the variation

i'm also happy they're doing with upgrades next cause seeing the same 4 decks for days in a row gets boring quick.

Also props to whoever animated the winking spike on the turn counter :)

Whoever is doing thumbnails for videos is KILLING it.

I just realised there is a cute cactus greeting each new turn 😄 Love it!

I really like the little quips and corrections from the editor. It's like a little reward for watching closely as well as clarification on (most) things that gets missed.

Fun fact, there are currently EXACTLY 5 equipments that are boots and in Felix' colour identity.

Vihaan in a dedicated treasure deck can absolutely crush. My pod has playtested it a couple of times and each times it’s been a consistent presence.

I'll give ya'll the real big brain play. Have him as the secret commander in Malik/Neegan. That deck was already super strong but could struggle to close games. Vihaan solves that problem completely

What I enjoy even more than what you do differently in each of these showcase matches is you communicating it so well with that fancy schedule slide. (:

Glad that Alex responded to me when I suggested this on Twitter when they asked for recommendations during their Fallout vids. Keeps it fresh and see the alt commander because it opens the precons up a lot more. Also glad I was not the only one that recommended it because like others have said a lot of channels don't do alt commander game play.

I am sort of new to the channel, but I have to say I love the layers of content you folks make. Seeing the decks at precon, mana base upgrade, and then permutations on the build is chef’s kiss.

Grenzo triggers for each creature, not just for itself, and doesn't even need to attack himself, which means he should trigger for Rankle at 13:40 and at 17:30

Hehe Gardening as an offensive strategy worked for my neighbour!

Great idea playing same precons with the alternate commander to inject new life into them. I like how this time the backup commanders actually kinda work with the deck unlike before where they made it a niche theme unrelated to the main deck.

OMG the spike feeders finally have a perfect mascot commander

late to comment, but gotta say the attacking diagram is really nice and intuitive.

New intro is so good! My favorite mtg channel:)

Thanks Spikes!

I like you guys play the precons multiple times.

I really like the post game chat where you guys highlight plays, how decks felt, and overall opinions. I found that to be really good insight not just for Precons but for decks in general. Typically we see decks do or dont do the thing and then the content creator closes off without really delving much deeper, so I really think thats a nice little touch Keep up the great work and i cant wait to see the upgrades you guys do!

Aaron's life pad scribbles reveal when???

Introducing changes in the decks is a really good idea! Congrats!!

YEEHAWWWWWW love to see it! The channel has grown wonderfully. My interest in magic grows and wains, but spike feeders are ETERNAL

I actually got the Outlaw precon for the alt commander so this is nice to see. Going to tweak the deck a bit to generate more treasures consistently, but still nice to see the deck function well without any modifications

I think this showed off that while vihaan can be strong the deck isn't built to facilitate him in the absence of olivia making free treasures. Kirri had a similar problem where the deck just assumes you have yuma making you plant tokens to block fliers with.

Woohoooo My favorite channel for precon gameplay

You guys really needed cowboy hats to really make is feel like we're back on the rootin' tootin' days.

I like the alt commander idea!

How does he keep getting away with it?! (another great episode!!)

im also glad youre doing alt commanders; esp w fallout only command zone (from what i regularly watch) did an alt commander and it would have been cool to see more alts. plus i really like the sultai and mardu alts in these precons

I love this content love the CEDH yall put out please keep it up... O and if you guys ever run a fan guest spot I would definitely be trying to get into that lol... just saying

Such a great group

Great seeing the alternate commanders, for some of them really are more interesting or fun than the face commanders.

Jim had double ranked triggers, should've made everyone sac creatures then sac the creatures they gave him

*whip noises* YAH! Yee haw!! *quick turn to finger guns*

The Most Wanted Precon deck, I am very excited for and can't wait to get. But I also really want to build a deck around Felix, Five-Boots, I love decks that attack and get something out of it.

My one wish for this set is answered with such haste!!! This is gonna be good

I love watching y'all play because I learn so much about the game like the importance of blockers and the importance of evasion and the importance of killing blockers and the importance of constantly taking damage because you don't have blockers and the importance of taking a lot of damage because you don't have flying blockers and

Jim's got a good evil laugh as he exiles Aaron's cards

Maddy at that corner of the table? Madness!

Would someone be kind enough to tell me if Felix would work with Yidris? I know Yidris works with double strike to double cascade if you can get it onto him, but I have not seen anything about Felix definitively working with him yet to give additional triggers.

It feels so weird for them to print a 4 mana 0/3 in this day and age without some truly disgusting abilities. And the deck is not well designed for them, too.

@caseyfurey1348

Ай бұрын

Yeah that card seems significantly worse for the precon as a commander than the other three decks’ alternates. I didn’t see much treasure generation from the mardu deck but just giving vigilance haste goes a long way. The other two looked fine

Aaron could have cast two spell and create flying dragon with his commander at the end to block

I think the design philosophy has changed over the last few years from "Let's split the precon between synergies with all the commanders" to "Let's make a deck that works well with the base commander, and has some alternate build-arounds in the 99." Which I think is probably a good thing for the standard precon experience. But because of that, it might also be good to allow everyone a small upgrade budget so they can swap some cards around and make sure their Commander works well with the deck. It wouldn't be the pure precon, but you've already done that, and it would be a better way of showcasing what the alternate commanders can do. Strangely, Eris, Eye of the Storm may be the exception. The Quick Draw precon isn't really set up to help you cheat her out easily, but it's also not particularly well built to capitalize on Stella. Which is funny, because Stella is an extremely competitive Commander, but the deck just doesn't have the payoffs for what you want to do with her (like forking Price of Progress or exploiting untap effects).
