The 3 best Commander decks that are perfect for beginners

Here are the 3 best, cheap and easy decks to not only pilot, but also to build. This video is by no means a full deck tech for each Commander, but a springboard to get the creative juices following.

If there's a Commander you want to see more info on. Let me know in the comments, I reply to every one :)

I never thought I would be interested in a mono-red Commander, but Torbran has convinced me otherwise. Great video mate!

I have Yurok as a strong commander and love him! I created a landfall deck around him and once won with never attacking. Got lots of lands out thanks to cards that did uber fetching. Had one Hedron Crab out, 13 lands, and played boundless Realms. "Search library for X basic lands, where X is the number of lands you control, and put them in tapped". I searched for 13 lands, and Hedron crab (mill 3 cards when a land enters) made my opponent mill 78 cards, the remainder of their deck.

It was glorious...

Svella.
It's an uncommon from kaldheim that provides straight up mana ramp.
How you use this mana is entirely up to you, and with the green red duality of this commander, you have more than enough options.
Svella burn elves?
You got it- elves are cheap and like to get stronger as they amass into an army- but that doesn't mean you can't support them with some red burn or even dragons.
Svella dragon summoner?
Many old rare dragon cards are cheap and considered almost useless because of their high cost, but again, svella puts the AMP in ramp and you will be casting them sooner than you think
Svella equipment artifact deck.
Ok, so you don't want to get tempted by any expensive red or green cards.
So you crack open a few strixhaven boosters and unearth Storm Kiln artisan, an uncommon dwarf that likes artifacts.
I mean- I could go on, but this comment is already long enough, and you should be the one to discover combos on your own.
Perhaps the greatest feature of svella is that it is accessible and viable for starting amateurs and veterans of the game alike, since there is an insane development ceiling for such a commander- your wallet is the only thing stopping you.
But you don't have to put a lot into it - it is fun with many cards, and you can just upgrade it as your collection grows over time, which if you like magic, it is a given.

Been an mtg player for a while now, but even I'm interested in these decks. I am a huge fan of budget and efficient decks and I absolutely love these

[shuyun]

Hey, great video! Really well thought out and informative.

Would love to see a video on Commander decks that would be perfect for all the other aspects of EDH such as resource management, politics, threat assessment etc.

Hope to see more awesome content!

[superdude]

Ok so i know ima bit late but you should totally drop budget deck lists for each commander. Preferably ones that can hold their own

[TheDylls]

Talrand was my first ever commander and taught me a lot about playing magic! I basically countered every single spell the first game and quickly lost

[keanuak]

not only is this a helpful video, it's also very well made!

My first Commander was Arixmethes, back in 2018. Glad to see that their were easier options to play in my friend group. I personally think Krenko is another really easy one.

[BobJones-bgui]

Awesome recommendations. I was looking for budget options for commander.

[eeflos]

Great ideas! I have been wanting to put together a couple of "training" decks to teach new people the game. Do you have any complete deck lists for any of these?

[valkaerion]

Thanks for the video - looks like I'll have to sit down write that cards down and make some lists later as I'd probably build each of these 👍

[MooreGolf]

I'm looking to start in playing mgt this is a great video thank you 😊

[derpderpson]

IS there a list of the decks somewhere?
Great video for a starter :)

"Yarok only wants one thing, and it's fucking disgusting."

[owentaylor]

Hey man, I really like the idea of the Burn, em all torbran deck, could you send me a decklist?

[trash]

Hey, amazing video! I might build Yarok now- do you have any other recommendations for a more budget Yarok deck (like between 75-100 bucks)?

[bluesight_]

Yarok is very powerful, but maybe not so good for beginners since the boardstate quickly becomes a towering pile of triggers to remember and arrange; very easy to bog down the game with 20 minute turns... I had a Yarok deck once

[mars]

Do you have a deck recommendation for Yurok?
