Stronghold | Commander Sleeper Series [Best Budget EDH Cards]

Hello, and welcome to the Commander Sleeper Series!

In this video, Jake and Joel go over MTG's 13th expansion: Stronghold. Stronghold is known for being the set that brought us powerful cards like Mox Diamond and Sliver Queen. A set that doesn't have foils or mythic rares, Stronghold is known for non-foil raw power. This video will focus on the cards that aren't as expensive as the cards we have mentioned... 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).

Pursuit of Knowledge + Brainstorm (and choose to draw zero) = Draw 7

[billymack]

mortuary plus fecundity is one of my favorite combos ever.

And notice that the very first card, Tortured Existence, has not only made "The List" in Set Boosters but has gone up quite a bit already.

[danielzitnik]

Nice video. For Tortured Existence, you could have touched on madness.

I love board wipe, drop 2 creatures, portcullis, however my friends do not ;)

[kylesavage]

I agree with all of them except Volrath's laboratory. It is too expensive guys. It's a 5 cmc do-nothing artifact and u need to pay 5 more AND tap it to add another 2/2. So for 10 mana u get a 2/2, for 15 2 2/2s. There are much better mana sinks even at budget prices.


Invasion Plans has no downside when u play Thantis like me and don't plan on blocking anything anyway :D

Charlie becomes the 4th patron…. Theres only 1 tshirt left

[beandip]

Volrath's laboratory, zendikar's roil and risen reef is disgusting
