I see this a LOT. It's hard convincing a player their deck doesn't have the theme they think it does.

this is why i always lean into a theme as much as possible. build for fun, play for win.

Hidetsugu and Kairi are a really excellent example of this. I would imagine they were meant to be a spellslinger deck which accounts for 40 of the 1987 decks i see right now. But i started building it and was like "wow, how is this the best clone commander"

This is far from the intended purpose of the video, but it did further solidify my belief that optimizing a deck doesn't necessarily make it more fun. Sure, you can get infinite turns with Tivit and Time Seive, but to me the voting mechanic would be more fun, even if its objectively weaker.

You hit the nail on the head with Shelob. I built her as a spider tribal deck. But, the more you play with her, the more you realize...you wsnt more fight spells, and less boring spiders. I think i've found a good balance, but it still pulls me towards less spiders the more i play.

The "you are tapped out and cannot counter my call to action" bit was really funy u got me there🤣

This isn't even limited to card designs, but actual mechanics. Flicker, bounce, and reanimation all seem like some form of evasion to diversify interaction, but in practice are just methods to trigger your own ETBs more.

This might be your best video yet, Joey! I love listening to you talk through some great EDH topics, and this was a very clever topic with a smart discussion. Very illuminating, thank you!

Still weird that they didn't put the "once per turn" clause on Stella Lee since it's so prominent on cards in OTJ.

Well said, Joey. The Kalamax bit hit home…. I just wanted to sling spells in Temur. Wish me luck with new Riku!

I think a big part of the problem is that when wizards print a commander for a niche deck type like spider tribal for example, the reward that the commander gives for playing spiders is underwhelming and just not viable for a lot of tables

Great thoughts Joey. This is why I tend towards commanders that are less popular, trying to make something unique and fun. It’s pretty cool when after a game another player tells you “Wow, what a neat deck idea.” Easier said than done, but I think the challenge is worth it.

I love the fact that the first two examples you named are decks I own. I didn't get to edit Stella Lee yet, but I'm pretty sure my Tivit desk is actually "politics & control" and not "blink & artifacts"

Omg, the Tivit conversation is word by word what I went through. I won the Esper Precon in a raffle, and wanted to build a voting deck around Tivit as soon I saw the card. Then, didn't really enjoy the 17 voting cards at the time available to Esper. So I went for Spark Double, Sakashimas and bunch of blink pieces. I omitted Time Sieve because it is stupid imo for a casual pod. (I play Tivit in cEDH as well, and there it is very close to the usual top16 lists-with Time Sieve and Thoracle Consult ofc.) Highlights in my casual Tivit list inclue Tezerret, Master of the Bridge, Kappa Cannoneer, Cyberdrive Awakener, Kitten, etc.

Excellent deep dive on a very real problem, Joey! Chefs kiss.

2:25 "lets investigate"
*lays clue token on the desk 😂

Thanks for that site link. I found like 10+ combos for my tormod/sider deck by adding like 2 cards

As someone who has a few tetzin decks, the reason i feel it's so easy to storm off with him is because of the critical mass of good artifact support in jeskai colors. Other great artifact decks usually give up one or more colors like jhoira losing white's artifact protection/ recursion or osgir losing out on the decades of blue artifact support. Tetzin can run all the amazing artifact support cards while directly benefitting from them unlike other jeskai commanders before him (it?)

I'm glad someone else recognized the lack of Ooze tribal. We need more big voices like this pointing that out.
