  • Silverquill Lecturer is actually underrated for Energy decks. A lot of cheap creatures have ETB gain 1 or 2 Energy. If all of a sudden you're doubling up those ETB triggers and getting 4 Energy and 2 bodies, you don't really care that you're giving an opponent one. I don't necessarily think it'll be an All-Star in the deck, but I think it'll be a card you'll hesitate to cut after you see it in action a few times.

    They're finally putting out the lost Kaladesh Commander precon.

    Silverquill Lecturer might be fun with the new Kambal
  • @LukeGiblett
    I'm looking to smash this and the fallout deck together - looking at artifacts + energy - if anyone comes up with a sick deck with either of the fallout commanders i'd love to see it!

    Cayth will really work only if you have Decoction Module and Izzet Generatorium, at which point each creature entering the battlefield gives you at least ee. I wouldn't keep the Lecturer in the deck, especially when I can use Consulate Surveillance, which essentially becomes "cirlce of protection from damage" as long as you can generate a ton of energy, just remember to keep up some protection against enchantment destruction or bounce effects. Don't forget the single best all-star in a Jeskai Energy deck--Whirler Virtuoso. The Conversion Apparatus should always be "t: add urw" because energy is a lot easier to gain than people think. Brudiclad, Combustible Gearhulk, and Myr Battlesphere--no, just take those out and put better options in like Paharmonicon. I plan on reworking this to go all-in on energy.

    Print the battlebond lands already.

    Interesting to note: Aurora shifter does stay as the copy . It doesn't have the "until end of turn clause".

    Silverquill Lecturer coul be sneakily good because you produce second copies of your energy creatures that get better with more energy. meanwhile gifting an opponent an energy creature will likely not do much for them. For example the very next card Aurora Shifter does nothing if you don't already have produced energy. So you're giving an opponent a vanilla 1/3 blocker while you get a second Aurora Shifter, who is basically a clone for 2 mana instad of 4 that can produce ridiculous amounts of energy, if it connects. Your opponents Aurora Shifter is really just a 1/3 because they have to attack and not get blocked TWICE to gather enough energy to then be able on the THIRD attack to turn their version into something better. That's nearly impossible or just too slow.

    Brudiclad is in the deck because you can copy a a creature with Satya's ability, and then Brudiclad can then make all of your other tokens into a copy of that creature token. It's a bit awkward with Satya being an attack trigger, after Brudiclad has already triggered for the turn, but it gives more value to paying the energy to have the token Satya creates stick around
  • Just playtested this deck a bit on Moxfield. Tbh. I guess I got some lucky draws, but found out, that its not too hard to get infinite combats with your Commander + Lightning Runner and some other ETB energy creature. Does not necessarly mean that you win, if they have good blocks, but definitely a strong line of play for a precon.
  • Cayth is my dream artificer tribal commander and I'm so excited to play it. That said, Cayth is a terrible commander for the precon, but makes perfect sense as the back up for the face commander who, you know, makes tokens which Cayth can populate.
  • @VBane
    I don't get how deck whose commander creates tokens and generates energy getting a backup commander that copies tokens and proliferates energy is in any way confusing or disappointing. Backup commanders in these decks are usually designed to work with the commander but also be a starting off point for a different type of deck, aren't they?
  • I am so pleased that I preordered both of the energy decks for much less money. Since no one wanted them, they decreased heavily in price before they were even released.
  • @Sk3Let0r89
    Can we stop getting the temples in expensiveprecons
  • IMO the best way to build Satya will be to ignore Energy entirely. Thing of him more as a "Blink"-commander. Slam in tons of creatures with great ETBs, a token-doubler, and some "can't be blocked" equipment, and just attack your way to value town. If you wanna keep your tokens, that's what Sundial of the Infinite is for. ProTip no matter how you build him: Silent Arbiter. Makes Satya unblockable (because Menace), and your token lets you cheat the "only one attacker" effect.
  • @PALIGames
    im excited as i have been very carfully working on the Madison Li deck so more tech will be cool
  • Anyone else notice Tomer had a simic creature as an example of a creature to add in this Jeskai deck? I know you have to get creative when building budget commander decks but breaking the rules seems extreme. But hey if you want to add Empyreal Voyager hopefully Seth Richard and Crim wont notice.
  • there is an infinite combo out of the box😂 glad i pre ordered this one
  • 6:15 I get that you are upset he is not an energy commander but apart from that he is a really good and versatile commander. You can go blink since fabricate is an etb ability, Tokens, counters or artifact creature or creature copies since you have blue and red. Not to mention he is jeskai which traditionally only gets non-creature matters decks so he is a new territory for the colour trio.
