Cut-Rate Commander - Episode 87 - Featuring Totentanz, Swarm Piper from Wilds of Eldraine
#mtg #edh #commander #mtgwoe

Hey Folks! Submitted for your approval , we have our 5th and final Cut-Rate Commander build for the Wilds of Eldraine – this time covering Eldraine's own pied piper - Totentanz, Swarm Pipe.

In this build, we'll be aiming to combine both the rat tribal and aristocrats sides of Totentanz's kit to derive the maximum value from his Aristoc-Rats centric gameplan. Of course that means we'll be running a decent number of rats and token generators to get more tribal bodies into play to benefit from our commanders deathtouch granting, as well as a decent number of other rat payoffs to work alongside Totentanz to make our vermin horde even more dangerous. And then on the artistocrats side of the equation, we'll be adding the greatest hits that Rakdos has at its disposal - comprised of sac effects / sac outlets to help our commander create more rat tokens while generating us value, and more on death payoffs to generate even more value or to suck the life out of our opponents as our creatures die off. Then from there, we'll be adding in a handful of ways to pile on the damage even further as our ETB and swing in to whittle down our opponents even faster, as we'll as a small number recursion/reanimation pieces to help us get our resources back from the bin as we sac them away to get extra uses out of them - enabling Totentanz to build up our army of rats more and more until they gnaw away the last of our opponents life.

Let me know if the comments below if you agree with my choices and/or what you would add to the deck instead. Also, let me know know who you would like to see next by voting on in the comments on the three choices of commander listed at the end of the video.
