• Channel: Tempest Official
• Speakers: Kyle (implied from outro)
• Duration: 24:14

Overview

This video details the rebuilding process of the speaker's first EDH (Commander) deck, focusing on the commander Karametra. The speaker discusses their initial, unsuccessful attempt at building the deck and then presents the current iteration, which has a significantly higher win rate. The video highlights key cards, combos, and synergies that make the Karametra deck powerful, particularly emphasizing value generation and infinite combo potential.

Key takeaways

• Initial Deckbuilding Struggles: The speaker's first attempt at a Karametra deck, focused on big mana and ramp, was largely unsuccessful, leading to a very low win rate.
• Karametra's Ability: Karametra's ability to search for and put a Forest or Plains onto the battlefield when a creature spell is cast is a powerful engine for consistent land drops and deck thinning.
• Kodama of the East Tree Combo: A key combo involves Kodama of the East Tree and "bounce lands" (like Celesia's Sanctuary and Guildless Commons). This allows for infinite triggers from permanents that care about lands entering the battlefield, leading to infinite tokens, treasures, clues, etc.
• Amiria Shepherd Combo: Another infinite combo is presented using Amiria Shepherd and Sakura-Tribe Elder, which can effectively empty the deck of Plains and other lands.
• Synergistic Cards: The video highlights other valuable cards like Nissa, Nature's Ally for mana generation and card advantage, Admonition Angel for removal, Manglehorn for artifact disruption, and utility lands like Escape Tunnel.
• Deck's High Win Rate: The rebuilt Karametra deck has achieved a "90% win rate" for the speaker, demonstrating its effectiveness and power in their playgroup.
