Hey folks! Let me know in the comments below what you thought of the build, if there are any cards you think I should have included instead, and what commanders you would like to see me tackle from this set in the future!

I would love to see a Sakashima and Yoshimaru partner deck. I haven't seen a ton for it online and it would be cool and funny to see a mass dog copy deck.

dont see anyone else mention this but triarch praetorian doesnt work the way you want it to with lurrus. it enters from the stack rather than the gy. similar interaction with emry and phyrexian dragon engine.

Thank you Grazzet for this fabulous Lurrus companion deck tech, it helped me win several games during the past month! I added Command the Dreadhorde, Living Death, and Rally the Ancestors for extra mass reanimations and they all worked very well.

I just got into Magic a couple of months ago, but I built a version of this deck recently and have really enjoyed it! The only cards I added were ones that I already had on hand. A couple of cards that I used that I thought worked well were Essence Channeler and Sorin of House Markov. Thank you for sharing this deck!

Seems like a cool list. Another good reanimation option would be Command the Dreadhorde. Low mana value of this deck's creatures makes it easy to get back a bunch of your stuff with it, and if you're really ahead on life you can grab larger stuff from opponents' yards.

True, this would certainly function as another powerful mass reanimation spell that also puts all the life gain we'll be generating to use. Great suggestion!

Really like the list and now I want to make a version for myself! A word of caution with Tirarch Praetorian for anyone looking to make this list, while it is a very fun card it doesn’t work the way you’d like it too with Lurrus. Praetorian only triggers when it enters the battlefield from the graveyard, casting it with Lurrus will put it on to the stack and thus it won’t enter from the graveyard (per CR 601.2), still might be worth the inclusion but not quite pulling the weight I think you’d want in this deck.

A friend in my local pod has played an Amalia deck a couple of times with the typical build, but I might have to show this build off eventually! I really hope we see more of Amalia in the future. Only change I think I might make, and only because of the local pod and other local groups, is dropping Austere Command for another bit of flexible spot removal. Or an alternative board wipe like Hour of Revelation or Tragic Arrogance. Hard to say 😅 Either way, love to see a Companion incorporated and themed so well!

I expect we should see more of her now thats she traveling around with Kellan in the mains story, though I'd be curious to see if they stick with the life gain theme on her or explore other potential playstyles the next time we see her. And yeah, depending on your local "meta", some swaps may definitely be warranted.

Only problem I see is that Amalia’s boardwipe happens at 20 counters. She won’t be doing lethal commander damage until 21. It was probably designed that way 🤷♂️ Unless you’ve got a way of keeping something around that gives her +1 it’s just not quite going to close out.
@GrazzetMTG
9 ай бұрын
That is a fair point but, as a counter argument, that is both working under the assumption that the opponent is question hasn't taken any commander damage from Amalia in previous turns (which I suppose is a stretch on the whole "one-shotting thing" but I digress) and that there are no more life gain triggers on the stack after her board wipe resolves (since those triggers will still resolve even after the creatures themselves are dead - bringing her damage to 21+ so long as we leave a non-land on top of the deck).

Cards like Zulaport Cutthroat and Blood artist gain you lives after they die on Amalia's boardwipe, so that makes for the 21th counter to one-shot someone.

Really enjoyed the video, and putting Amalia and Lurrus together now. How do you feel about Shadowed Caravel? Seems like it will pump a huge amount through Amalia, and then you have a massive vehicle that you can crew with your life gainers and it can survive her wipe. Worth a slot?

To be fair, they are different kinds of decks. This one is a really low to the ground reanimation build with the main goal actually being life gain (the reanimation functioning to make it more resilient) while Carmen, Cruel Skymarcher's reanimation is more focused around sacrifice and edicts to reanimate huge stuff. Both are good, just at different things.

@GrazzetMTG
9 ай бұрын
You are certainly entitled to your opinion but I would fully disagree that this would be a "meme" deck. Just because the mana curve is very low to the ground does not immediately write it off as a joke - seeing as most of the tools we would be using to proc Amalia's life gain are CMC 2 or less anyway & Lurrus makes those pieces, the payoffs for them, and the sources we'll be using keep both Lurrus and Amalia alive recurable if they are removed by our opponents / saced away to active effects - making the deck more resilient overall while staying on the life gain gameplan. That said, there is nothing wrong with taking Amalia in more traditional life gain focused direction without Lurrus as a companion, as there are plenty of higher CMC permanents that would enable this gameplan, but just because that is the case, it doesn't make this build any less effective.
@kazuyananahara
9 ай бұрын
You are really underselling the power of Amalia on the command zone. She grows at an inmese rate in this deck since its so centered around the cheap gain 1 hp for creature boys, she has a massive consistance at drawing lands and filling up your graveyard for massive revival spells and lurrus keeps the machine fueled by letting us cast from the graveyard too. It's not a high powered deck of course, it's on a fair budget after all and could use a lot more expensive cards, but this can give a table of power 5 or 6 a run for their money.
