Onslaught | Commander Sleeper Series [Best Budget EDH Cards]

Hello, and welcome to the Commander Sleeper Series!

In this video, Jake and Joel go over Onslaught, the 27th Magic the Gathering expansion in the MTG Multiverse. The set is home to some very impactful EDH cards, and features the iconic first appearance of the Allied Fetch Lands, however this video will focus on the cards that aren't as expensive as these cards, cards that can be acquired for only a couple dollars, that have niche uses but are still impactful in EDH... the sleepers.

When Pioneer was announced, we knew that we needed to cover each Pioneer-legal set and sift through the bulk for cards with hidden potential. We had so much fun doing the Pioneer Sleeper Series, that we decided it would be a great project to attempt to cover Commander (EDH) from a similar perspective: What are cheap cards that have good commander playablity and value? In this series, we attempt to answer that question! What is the best commander card from each set, on a budget? What are the commander sleepers?

What is Commander:
Commander, officially recognized on June 17, 2011, originated from a format called EDH (Elder Dragon Highlander-- there can only be one). The first time we played EDH was around 2009. It is easily the best way to play Magic: The Gathering. The idea was to have a casual format with 100 cards and only a single copy of any one card, with a General: a singular Legendary Creature card in its own zone that can be cast any time, once you have the mana for it. If your general is removed, it goes up by a casting cost of 2 for each time it is removed. Once WOTC officially recognized the format and printed the first Commander product, your General was instead called your Commander and instead of the format being called EDH, it instead became recognized as Commander. If you ever hear anyone say EDH, they are talking about Commander. Make sure to know the cards that are banned in the format before building your deck (listed below).

This is my favorite series of yours! Please never stop!

[poofypeanut]

I’m commenting before I even watched because I wanted to tell you guys this is my favorite series and I love all of them honestly.

This is one of my personal favorite things to do though. Digging through these older sets over and over when new sets come out. So many hidden gems in these.

Awesome guys, my favorite series, onslaught was my very first booster box purchase . Bought a booster box of each expansion of this block . Fun times .

Cryptic Gateway is a beast in my casual Edgar Markov deck

[alfascorpi]

Nice vid. I never understood why they let go of the old border frames, love it way more than the bleak current ones.

My favorite mtg set!!! Been waiting for this one. There is so many tribal fun stuff. So many great enchantments. Just so much goodness! This is such a solid balanced block too. Can't wait to see the rest of this block.

Head games has been my favorite since standard

[christopherstorey]

Loved the picks, Onslaught is one of my favorite sets. The basic lands are super dope too, include Dan Frazier's flower Swamp. Love the set symbol too, makes me think of a spider comin for ya

[Lcngopher]

Astral slide and astral drift are required cards for any cycling deck with white imo

[corymachlan]

Slate of ancestry in a xyris build would be crazy!

[fireball]

Weird harvest would be fantastic for my Marwyn EDH. Got Sword of the Paruns to go infinite mana with Marwyn, perfect to fetch out all my creatures and drop everything out the same turn and swing house.

Hey guys, I love the content. Thank you for taking the time to come up with these awesome videos. I'm curious if you have a build for Queen Marchesa (long may she reign) edh deck? I have built a control pillow fort, but I am attempting to make it better. Definitely getting some head games, and already have some aurifications, because I thought it was the same as you, a white no mercy.

[corymachlan]

Someone in my play group used head games on me yesterday and gave me all mountains. Lol, it sucked

[bobbyz]

Jeez, wtf is Aurification?!?! Card is

[dragonballtalk]

I made a high quality playable foil legend creature commander card of dbz Jiren . Freddy Krueger. And Thanos . Looks as if wotc made it I'll leave a link to pictures in another comment

[benjaminkaye]

Head games is so annoying ... probably because t always targets me lol.
