What cards would you recommend swapping out for the proposed upgrades?

Hydroid krasis doesn't work at all with Yarok. I dont see why you want to put non-creature ramps like cultivate or talismans and signets when you can have creature doing that. I dont know the Price but the invasion that ramp is excellent. Same thing with destroy effect : you have a budget deck and you will probably play with other budget deck, so why do you want a doomblade ? You can have the same thing on a creature. Overall, not very original as a Yarok deck, no new cards that could have gone under the radar or real niche cards but which works really well with Yarok ...

1/4 of the mana base is colorless mana, highly conditional or requires extra mana to work. That's way too many for a budget, 3-color deck. I could understand includes if they were really good utility lands like Alchemist's Refuge but the etb scry 1 or gain 2 life don't warrant increasing the chance of being mana screwed by this much. Hydroid Krasis doesn't benefit from Yarok because it's an "on cast" trigger. You've included a lot of half-combo pieces some of which don't synergize with the rest of the deck. For example, Retreat to Coralhelm + Sunscorched Desert/Retreat to Hagra but you are missing a tapper to bring a land into play and without the combo those cards are kinda meh or don't even have targets like in case of Coralhelm. You're also running Cloud of Faeries/Peregrine Drake + Displace/Ghostly Flicker but you're missing Eternal Witness/Archaeomancer or Venser, Shaper Savant/Shrieking Drake.

One land i would recommend and its cheap is "Nesting grounds" it taps for generic mana but also "1 generic and tap : move one permanent from a creature you control to another TARGET PERMANENT" this means you can remove one finality counter from your monster and put it on opponents monster or whatever to make them exile if they die.

Maybe I'm crazy, but that new design of Breya is the opposite of her old design. I love the wire coat and Cassa Blanca sort of look, but it feels like they took a turn on what she was going for before. Before her design was reminiscent of eliminating unnecessary components that obstruct her artistic beauty that's why she didn't have much of a body, but now they (WoC) through an overcoat on her. She looks like she's covering up what she was showing off before. She represented the hourglass image alone because her Etherium body had nothing else. She looks like a modern work of art bending metals to form a shape pleasing to the eyes.

First video I've watched from your channel. "As always, it's below 45$ [...]" > Subscribed. It is so much more fun for everyone involved to chill a little and don't spend absurd amounts of money just to have some hyperoptimized deck. If you think about it 45$ is already a lot of money, not just for people with little income but also in general.

@sulevjaaniste539425 күн бұрын
Some cheap upgrades would be Unwinding Clock and Sai, Master Thopterist for some extra value and more blinking. Saheeli Rai as well if you want a combo wincon. Clan Crafter, Chronomancer, Tome of Legends, Weatherlight Compleated are some cards you could also consider. Another slightly more expensive card for value would be Braids, Arisen Nightmare.

You can definitely make this deck much stronger without even including combos and while staying at the same budget. First of all, it needs clarity because if it tries to do a bit of everything it will result in being bad at everything. From the goals it seems like a voltron style deck. In that case you don't need any of the "go wide" or kraken synergy cards: Ornithopter - it's a free spell but it also does nothing except remove a counter from the commander sometimes Goreclaw - a total of 7 (+commander) cards it could reduce which is not enough to play it Murkfiend Liege - deck doesn't play a go wide nor does it have enough (un)tap creature value Every Kraken and Leviathan - except for Spawning Kraken there are no other synergies with these creatures types, easy cuts and a ton of free budget Surrak and Goreclaw - almost 1/10 of the budget and there isn't much to combine it with except for occasionally swinging with a big hitter Stonehoof Chieftain - very expensive to cast and doesn't have that much of an impact for it's cmc 3 cmc ramps - not needed at all. If we ramp turn 1/2 into turn 3 Arixmethes we have access to 5-6 mana on turn 4 Colossal Majesty - not reliable and there are better cards that draw us cards Kefnet's Monument - with only 17 creatures in the deck it won't do much work Scepter of Celebration - very expensive to cast and equip and not enough synergies with go-wide (2 buff spells in the whole deck and 1 token generator) Dragon Throne of Tarkir - same here, the deck doesn't run enough creatures/tokens Tapped lands - we play simic, we have great mana fixing and early tapped lands can mean the difference of casting a spell or passing. Tapped lands should be kept at an absolute minimum Myriad Landscape - decent in non-green budget brews but we have better options Things that should be included Utopia Sprawl, Wild Growth, Fertile Ground - cheap in $ and ramps you very early into the commander Both Simic rocks - much better than the diamonds cheap $ 1 cmc Dorks - biggest strength of green, especially on budget. No reason not to play them Kiora's Follower and Voyaging Satyr - help cast commander on turn 3 and produce 2 mana afterwards Much more interaction - Decisive Denial being the only card in the deck that somewhat deals with a problematic creature is not enough. Blue has creature exile on a budget and even a semi board wipe in form of Curse of the Swine. Even something like a Snap would help and it synergizes with the deck Considerations You included Fellwar Stone for a good reason but where's Exotic Orchard? :) Overflowing Basin, Flooded Grove and Hinterland Harbor - offer some cheap, untapped fixing Bonders' Enclave - draw on a land Ghost Quarters - too many lands that can ruin a voltron strategy, definitely a must

Hey just got your video recommended and looked through some other videos, the commanders are interesting and the decks look well built. The videos are well made as well as the sections explaining the deck nicely. My only gripe is the music, the other videos used the same one. I don't know if its just a me issue but the flute(?) was like a drill piercing my brain and i could barely concentrate on what you were saying. maybe im the only only one though. Very nice content otherwise.

Really good video! I hadn't heard of that commander before, but I immediately got the urge to build a deck with him. Because of Baldur's Gate 3, I got the idea of building Raphael, Fiendish Savior with effects that require some politics. It should include effects like Sower of Discord and Fiery Emancipation. Unfortunately, I can't make it a budget deck. If you find the idea interesting as well, it would be cool if you could also make a video about it.

Some feedback. A lot of the card coverage here is just reading the oracle text of the cards. It makes the video an audiobook version of the deck list. I think if you spent more time justifying the deck's game plan and how each card fits into the game plan, it will make it more clear why each card is in the deck. A lot of these cards just vaguely gesture towards "lifegain and creatures" and it's not clear how they work together to win.
