Wizards in commander: they're looking for some spellslinging mixed with a critical mass of wizards. If you can draw the proper mix, your wizard deck will slice through opponents' defenses and even have the countermagic to withstand a board wipe or two. This video covers the best wizards, wizard tribal commanders, and even wizard staples that fall outside the tribe itself. Enjoy!

dude on the right is so rude to dude on the left, i am always shocked to see how long they've been doing this. if he talked to me like he does at 3:40 we would have to pause the video

The deffinition of a wizard comes from D&D as someone who gains their power from their study oposed by inhereting it (Sorcerer), gaining it through a bond with nature (Druid/Ranger), a pact with an overworldy being (Warlock), Music (Bard) and the gods (Cleric/Paladin). They probably didn't follow it all the way but at least a bit. And I would love to see Hydra tribal

[DKMonsieur]

From ZNR: Kaza, Roil Chaser is a pretty sweet Wizards tribal commander. You essentially want to play a bunch of cheap utility wizards, maybe a few untappers and then finish of your opponents with X-spells.

This one deserves a redo. I just made a blue wizard tribal with 10 combos

[sambrown]

Thats one thing about your channel that feels good. Having yall answer some of the better comments

[SirCorn]

I think the trick with Adeliz is to run jump start/flashback type cards that offer reliable recast potential while enabling the “spells matter” creatures. It’s a tough balance for sure.

[PawzBrownMTG]

I do love blue, Izzet and red - wizards are very jank but enjoyable when playing then. Great show guys

[AllegoryGar]

Wizards makes the damn game and they can’t even make their own tribe good. I don’t get it

[kingoceanblu]

Riku of two reflections is a Commander that had me wanting to do a Wizard Tribal

[nobodyfromnowwhere]

Wizard: an entity known of its use of, or affinity for, wizardry.

[moreplease]

That wizard joke at the beginning... Those boys aint right lol

[heavenbot]

If I hear no reference to the elf lizard wizard, I'm gonna cry. Will report back.
Edit: I cry 😥

[nielsjacobsen]

Good to see, that you both survived the moving to the new studio!

[oliviersoable]

Wizards retort that Naru Meha is a good pay off the tribe. Havengul Lich is nice in my reanimator deck!

[crawdaddy]

I literally laughed out loud, I have been rereading Harry Potter.

[serra]

Ovar, The All Form as a Wizard Tribal Commander is a lot of fun

[meatrace]

Also, y'all need to do a Marchesa, the Black Rose deck tech just so I can compare notes.
I'm curious how you'd build it. I think you said before that theft is boring or annoying or too obvious, but annoying opponents and making them /fliptable is my favorite way to win EDH!

[jo_ken]

I’ve actually got an Adeliz wizards deck that is pretty fun to play. Kinda builds a board like a token deck and swings in for damage.

[ArchangelJaceAscended]

No love for Naru Meha? She has flash, lets you copy one of your spells, AND it gives your Wizards +1/+1. Also works with blink effects. You CAN copy her with Inalla, although you'll have to sac the token.

[tricholysis]

watching this as someone new to your channel, I'd recommend adding a little more structure to something like this. timemarks in a comment or the description, at the very least, as a table of contents
