Omnath doesn't need 3 different colors, drawing an avacyn gives you the mana too

I think people assume that since it says 3 colored mana symbols and gives up to 3 mana of those colors that the cards just have to be 3-colored. I actually kinda wanna build some strange 5 color "3 mana pip tribal". Only downside is if I dont have my commander out, the strain on my mana base is gonna be brutal.

@@primykins106 yeah I built a deck with ratadrabik and djeru and hazoret and needed another way aside from relic of legends to ramp. I realized if I managed to get omnath onto the field with hazoret or just normally, I could essentially play whatever I wanted the turns after. Assuming of course, I didn't end up playing my and my opponents entire deck with etali triggers lol
Love the beginning of this video. Those take were all good, but the professor wants the best of the best.

What's interesting about Omnath is that despite how the card reads I think you just need 3 pips in the spells mana cost; not necessarily three different coloured pips.

Had to look it up to see if it was clarified. And you seem to be correct by the rulings
The opening Really makes me wanna have Tolarian Bloopers more often
Small bonus for Omnath, he has a pretty nice extra use for Historic Brawl in arena, because he is a 5 color phyrexian in a format where Morphon does not exist. So if you want to do some tribal, having a commander that pretty much has the text of "Draw 1 more card per turn." is pretty nice! Also, the mana keeping can be pretty helpful in that kind of deck when you want to cast things like the 9 mana "Portal to Phyrexia" and expensive preators.
The Yargle and Multani idea seems awesome, probably not something I'd build but would love to see on a future shuffle up and play series.
Another thing that you should know about the new Etali is that tokens are allowed to transform now. That means that with Helm of the Host, you’re able to get multiple copies of its backside at a time. Super cool

Dude I love how well that blooper reel comes across. It's really nice to see you're still humble and can laugh at yourself and just keep things moving as usual.
Something funny is that when the preators flip, Urabrask and Vorinclex sagas are swaped. Loved your videos prof!!

I know next to nothing about magic but I just enjoy the vibe of this channel!
I really like Thalia and the Gitrog Monster. This one seems to be really powerful, but you do have to keep in mind that people don't like their stuff coming into play tapped.

@@daverichards9141 Not that bad. 🙂 It was annoying to them at first. To be honest, the biggest part of the strategy is go get fetch lands into your graveyard so you can use some of the affects that allow you to play them out of your graveyard. That with multiple land drops per turn and all of the fun scute swarm type affects for land drops. It isn't hard to ramp out really quick. Just make sure you get enough card draw to survive.
I’m a big fan of the new Quintorius. He seems super interesting and is the first Boris commander that’s ever caught my eye enough for me to want to build it.
Zimone and Dina are my #1 pick from this set, but with all the good legends in the set I am not even surprised that they were missed here
can also go with cards like fear or cover of darkness to give fear. Flathis for deathtouch + menace. Got rogue's passage, and prowler's helm for unblockable. Got glaring spotlight for hexproof + unblockable (plus can target hexproof for your black removal until you wanna use it). So many good options for yargle and multani shenanigans lol probably a pretty fun and cheap commander deck to throw together and bash people with.
I kind of agree with the Yargle/Multani ranking. There are so many incentives to run a creature with 18 power, even if it is vanilla. And the addition of green makes it so much better and adds so much more power. I definitely wanna explore building something around them.
I’ve been having a lot of fun with this set, it made me think of making theme decks like all my cards have to have the word creature on it for my new etali primal conqueror deck, thanks for doing this fun video!
Thank you Prof, thank you so much. I've been defending Yargletani as one of the most fun legends to build around. I would have mentioned Indomitable Might as well that allows you to one-shot anyone with the Frog. I look forward to seeing your budget build!
I just started playing mtg 3 weeks ago and your videos have helped me immensely! I will gladly watch another 😄
I really enjoy the presentation of these videos. Outfits and decor on point, sir!
From prerelease and 1 collector booster (normally buy singles, but I won an award and wanted to treat myself), I already have 3 of your top 5! Very excited to try them out in games :)
Loved the intro 😂 I have a love for Borborygmos and Fblthp. Borborygmos showed me that I will always enjoy gruul when i first saw him when I started back in gatecrash. Boi has two eyes and a new friend now, unstoppable hahaha
Been waiting for this video. Your list is terrific but I am very fond of Thalia and the Gitrog Monster.
I admit that I love what they did with Etali. Its been awhile since I saw a card so gratuitously violent. 😂😂
I just built my Yargle deck and I'm soooo excited to try it out!
Professor, your videos are the best at keeping me caught up with the newest Magic since I don’t have time to buy and research myself since becoming a father . You’re fantastic!
Love what you do I just have to say it: I found funny that just starting the video you changed urabrask and Vorinclex positions when they turned to their sagas sides Keep on making lots of videos with such great content as you do~
Hooray for another Prof video! Always the best when he gets to talk about something positive
Hey Prof, Yargle seems really fun, just imagining the face of my friends when I cast a 18 power commander at turn 3 or 4 and wandering who among them will the one picked to be demolished by him brings a smile to my face! 😄
I kinda love, that you laid out your Etali-section to be pretty much the deck I've already written up. Named "Gruul Blink" with a backup win-con of infecting people out of the game, I can't wait to get all the cards & start playing around with it!
Love this! I just posted my deck tech for Omnath so completely agree he is in the top 5! The combination of cards to meet the three colour objective is really fun!
I just made a Thalia and The Gitrog Monster Deck. Infect leads the theme, with tokens, landfall, hatebear being subthemes. Its such a fun gross deck.
Yargle is one of my favorite decks for the fun, so when this version came out, I had to alter mine into a golgari as soon as this set came out. I agree with prof here. Such a great pick!
A lot of good picks; #1 and #3 especially seem like really fun options. Zimone and Dina were the commander I was looking forward to the most after your #1 pick. This set does have a lot of fun commanders, but also some really nutty power creep. Thankfully I only play Kitchen table so I don't have much to worry about.
Ever since I saw the flavor text on Yargle and Multani, I knew I must make a commander deck out of it
As a brand new player, your videos are amazing! Appreciate your feedback and well produced video!
I’m glad to see you mentioning Inga and esika. I’ve heard nothing about it and it looks so good
Delightful! Love your idea for the Multani and Yargle deck.
genuinely a really funny, entertaining, and informative video. For sure one to get someone hooked don your content.
I pulled yargle at my pre release! I’m psyched to put it into my stompy deck.
Prof: "Did you know you are sexy, you are good looking, and people enjoy being around you?" Me: =') Thanks Prof.
Those are some Powerful Commanders with a lot of good support cards. For Commanders, I also like Thalia and The Gitrog Monster as well as Drana and Linvala. Thank you for the video Professor.
Love this series - always love your vids prof
1:28 I didn't know I needed to hear this today, so thank you, Prof.
Honesty Heliod, radiant dawn sounds like a fun commander. Playing your strategy at a permanent discount of at least 1 on your opponents turn, at instant speed? Table wheeling discounting your spells by 21? Who needs omniscience at that rate? Or heck, play it or One with the Multiverse off the huge discount for huge value!
i can t wait for that deck build video. I will be building it
Hey prof, yes I do keep a bunch of cards to move between decks, but I go a step further. I'm a sucker for commanders that have the word "token" on them, and I tended to make GX decks with about 20-30 slots never really changing. How many doubling seasons should I own, right? Anyway, my solution was to build 4 different GX decks with different plans but similar techs. I have a stack of common (core) cards, then 4 piles (Trostani, Adrix & Nev, omnath and Beledros) with just their respective identities. Changing decks is simple: remove all monogreen and colorless spells, as well as the lands (forests, utilities with monogreen costs, command tower etc) and shuffle them into a different stack. The 4 piles plus core pile fit in a fat pack. All were sleeved the same too
i hadn't thought of using the new inga and esika as deathtouch tribal- really neat stuff!
There are four new commanders that in my opinion, stand over the rest and in fact will be played even in cEDH: Thalia and Gitrog, Kroxa and Kunoros, Shalai and Hallar, and Rona, herald of invasion. The first one is an excellent stax commander and perfect for a Protean Hulk wincon, and the other three have good one card combos and are in great color combinations. Anyway, there are so many new great commanders any top 5 list has a really good point. Nice video prof!
Listen.. I know it was an advertisment... but the affirmation still was super nice and I think I needed it.
I love the perfectly imperfect intro prof!
Another great video from the prof! Thank you! Looking forward to maybe a vanilla creature tribal. Ruxa from strixhaven would be a good buff, which could be tutored easily
Great list of commanders prof , plenty of fun cards to choose from
Happy Omnath made it into the list, since I just cracked one open in my Commander Precon collector pack :)
I can't wait to see your Yargle and Multani commander deck. Thank you :)
Hahahaha I love the multiple takes in the beginning, great touch
Thanks Prof. I needed that.
Can’t wait to see the Yargle deck you have for us!
That intro was fire!!!!! 60% of the time it was perfect everytime!!
The ultimate flavor win this set is Goro-Goro and Satoru. Not only is it super fun to say, it is also the perfect blend between Goblin aggression and Ninja tactics. I built a deck around them with the sole purpose of summoning a bunch of hasted goblins to overwhelm others defenses, summoning dragons, and then using that overwhelming army to use ninjitsu, summoning dragons, and letting me swap between tribals at my leisure in one deck so smoothly. I also realized you can use extra combats to make the dragon spirits you create help you create more dragon spirits. So many ways to build them.
That ad intro had me hooked, brilliant
i like that in the praetors section, when the cards flipped, vorinclex and urabrask changed places
Really appreciate the content.
While it’s almost certainly not the best, Rashmi and Ragavan has my pick for the commander I’d like to try out the most. It seems like a great value card that brings in a lot of treasure, and the bonus of stealing cards off the top of your opponent’s deck. And it does it in a newer way - not the Ragavan way, but the Rashmi and Ragavan way. You bet I’m gonna build around it.
It's commandering time.
I was not expecting the top pick but am glad it's there. I was just gonna use it as a sack outlet for my Kresh deck but considering I have almost all the combos you mentioned, I might have make a new glogari sac deck.
Always good to see Prof picked the best commander from the set
One of the best intros I've seen in a long time 😂
im so haappy you choose yargle and multani, its the one i was most looking forward to it since its been revealed. and its so much fun!
Another amazing video and loved your top pick... But one question... Where on Earth do you get your ties? They're lovely!
I've been playing Thalia and the Gitrog Monster a lot in Arena HB, and it's absolutely amazing.
Love the new Heliod. Play diminishing returns, find prosperity, play prosperity with x=21, draw 21 cards and have a 84 mana discount. Maybe even at opponents beginning of discard step?
Thanks for the confidence boost professor
Yargle and Multani looks really fun, it's definitely an auto-include for my Mr. Orfeo budget deck!
Fun little card a lot of people miss from Shadowmoor for the Yarg-tani deck: Rite of Consumption. It's Fling in Black! Plus, it trades instant speed for pseudo lifelink.
That intro was phenomenal
Etali is going straight into my grul smash deck. So so good.
The new sheoldred does a lot of work and is pretty easy to flip to the back side when running cheap mill affects on turns 3 and 4
I am so ready for the Kickstarter boxes! I am saddened by the delay, but not deterred.
Hope to see a build your own precon shuffle up and play episode
loved this. Like a bunch of Deck Techs
I’m legit looking forward to the build your own commander deck episode of Yargle and Multani
Thanks, needed that, you are quite awesome yourself good sir
My friends and I do a budget commander game for each new set and I claimed Yargle and Multani so fast you have no idea. Not only do I love voltron, but i've named the deck "aura bomb" because the idea of pumping up this already giant creature and throwing it quite literally at people was hilarious. A surprisingly versatile build for a vanilla creature. I'm planning on keeping it in my regular deck rotation with maybe some upgrades, but frankly it doesn't need a lot of fancy expensive stuff to be good!
the way he shows the synergies and combos with other card yargle an multani as a commander sounds great
This is a great list! I put Etali in my Xenagos list.
Great cards, video resolution, and vid overall.
Yargtani is absolutely nuts. I brewed a version that focused just on the free 18 power and getting value out of that, and the sheer value you get is crazy. I played against a friend that had a similar brew and he just ran away with the game once he got it out. I only won because of some nonsense I happened to draw into. However, I'm most excited about making this Omnath Lucky Charms deck, it sounds like a ton of fun! I'm gonna brew that today!
Love the ending!
Recently got some March of the Machine draft boxes with my bro-n-law and I pulled a new art illustration for Niv-Mizzet. Love me some dragons and finally getting a 5 color legend like that, considering making him a new Commander for myself 🤓
My first deck was the reap the tides. So when Thalia and the Get-recked monster came out I knew that it was the gonna be pretty good.
Thank you for the honourable mention professor
It's an important note that Omnath doesn't say it has to be different colors of mana. You could hypotetically reveal a mono or 2 color spell with a lot of pips and get the mana from Omnath.
