Commander Clash S2 Episode 13: Kamigawa Block
Hello and welcome to Commander Clash, a video series where several MTGGoldfish contributors battle in a four player Commander game for fun and bragging rights. This week we're delivering on one of the most requested themes by building decks around the legendary creatures from the Kamigawa block. Here's what we came up with:
- Seth kills creatures in unconventional ways with Horobi, Death's Wail
- Richard just wants to watch the world burn with Heartless Hidetsugu
- Tom shows off one of his favorite tribal decks, Snakes, led by Seshiro the Anointed
- Tomer murders creatures for value with Toshiro Umezawa
Two Mono Black decks focused on murdering creatures! Can you guess how this game turned out? Let's see if you're right! But first, quick reminder: if you like Commander Clash and other video content here on MTGGoldfish, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish Youtube Channel to keep up with the latest and greatest.

Post-Game Thoughts
I'm a fan of Snake Tribal myself, so it was cool seeing Tom play around with Seshiro the Anointed. I've never seen Horobi, Death's Wail in action before, which was a treat. As for my own deck, I've always been a fan of the Spellslinger archetype and Toshiro Umezawa is something I've never played before. It was neat and encouraged me to play with a bunch of cards I've never tried out in other decks, like Word of Command. Overall it does seem weaker than the other (Blue) Spellslinger options just because Mono Black Spellslinger struggles to deal with certain threats, being especially low on countermagic and enchantment/artifact removal. But the deck is cheap and certainly unique which will appeal to some folks.
Next Up: Random Theme!
Did you know that the Gatherer search engine has a "Random Card" generator? Well, now you do! We clicked on it and are building decks around the first card result we get. Here's what we got:
Tomer: Geist-Honored Monk
Richard: Gift of Orzhova
Tom: Shatter
Seth: Covenant of Blood
Can you guess what type of deck we built around our cards? As always, we love to hear from you guys!
