Eluge, the Shoreless Sea

The art on that card is actually insane. Props to Chase Stone 🔥

[SupremeChalupaSnoke]

Alania’s sister Alanis is a famous bard. Her number one hit is “You Otter Know!”

[joedominguez]

Glarb not getting a mention is surprising. He’s good

[Doofindork]

Gev Scaled Scorch seems super cracked with Persist cards; Like Puppeteer Clique and Murderous Redcap. Sac one, it returns with a -1/-1 counter, it then gains +1/+1 counters, sac again, returns. Repeat until you win. You don't even need an aristocrat damage dealer, as Murderous Redcap already deals said damage. Gev could be a pretty silly combo deck if set up properly.

[AxillaryPower]

They missed the REAL synergy between Abundance and Mr. Foxglove: Abundance is a replacement effect on drawing a card. The way Mr. Foxglove's show and tell effect works is that it checks if you've drawn cards off the first part of the ability. So, you'll attack and then "put" cards into your hand until your hand size matches the opponent's, THEN put a creature into play because you didn't "draw."

[UnreasonableOpinions]

Abundance is a strong card with Flubs that I haven't seen people mention yet. Being able to choose land or nonland removes the potential to be stuck of Flubs since you simply choose nonland if you're played out, or guarantees you get your extra land drops every turn before that.

[masterbd]

Was surprised to not see Glarb on this list. It may not be as obviously good as the other frogs, but having made this commander I can attest it is STRONG. Surveil with a commander that also lets you play off the top is just powerful.

[MikhailHudon_ZerithFarron]

Ygra + Displaced Dinosaurs. You're welcome.

[kylek]

While on one hand I get fatigued by how much product comes out, the bright side is that I get to watch these videos more often. Some of my favorite pieces of content from you all!

[levihamer]

My playgroup is gonna hate it but I can’t resist building Maha, I can see why it wasn’t included since its pretty mean but that owls effect is very powerful!

[SMXanathar]

Im been playing a ton of Eluge, the Shoreless Sea. Having extra effective blue mana EACH TURN is something people will play around, and he turns a bunch of weird cards into cost reduction as well via the Flood Counters (notably 1-mana flicker effects and the like). In a perfect world, you can Eluge on 4, blink it on each opponent's turn, come back to yours, and Expropriate or something else huge.

[ThePretzelBread]

I get that this is talking about these creatures as commanders, but Baylen actually goes so hard in Rocco, Street Chef.

[scribblesketch]

Though they didn't get any love this video, I am excited to build Bats. I love lifegain and just love bats in general so I'm gonna have fun tinkering with that deck.

[Fire_Surge]

FOR FLUBS - "Library of Lang" is also a fantastic include in case you get into that stuck position when you only have 2 cards in hand

[Fettsbounty]

I just recently played against an Infamous Cruelclaw deck built as a Russian Roulette game. Only 6 nonland cards in the deck, he hit a Worldfire in our game and I won because I was first to drop a creature. He showed one of the cards is a Phage the Untouchable so he has a 1\6 chance to just lose. I stopped him from showing the other cards so it remains a surprise.

[ShinnyMetal]

Ojer Axonil is an absolute slam dunk in Gev. All them pings are goin to start doing 7 damage

[kv]

Glarb, Calamity‘s Augur got left out?!
I think hes a great candidate for this show

[ThisIsACommanderChannel]

I'm for sure building a Bello deck. I love enchantments and I have a voltron style Bant enchantments deck, so it will be nice to have a Gruul go wide enchantments deck. My favorite part about Bello is that they're only creatures on your turn, so they will avoid a lot of board wipes as they're mostly sorcery speed, which means I won't have to speed as many turns just rebuilding over and over. I just run some individually protecting spells to keep Bello alive (also to keep him alive at instant speed so he doesn't get killed after I swing and I basically get fogged).

[camoyuki]

I have been testing a Baylen, the Haymaker deck, and scute swarm is ridiculous, well, even moreso than a regular scute swarm. You can have all your ramp be land based, which is good anyway, and then get extra landfall triggers, and any extra landfall triggers double the amount of scute swarm tokens, which you can turn into more cards and mana, which can allow you to find more land ramp to get more landfall triggers and then have even more mana and cards. Scute Swarm can easily turn into a very long turn that you end up winning on. It's very possible to just draw your whole deck until you find a haste enabler for all the scutes

[ThisIsACommanderChannel]

@13:59 Yes, you're right. If you make a copy of a spell on the Stack, you are also copying any of the modes picked with that spell, the value of X that was decided on, and any additional effects from any Additional Costs that were paid for.
