Upgrading My Commander Decks: Lost Caverns of Ixalan

Hey friends! I often get asked about my personal commander decks and what upgrades I'm making as sets release, so I figured it would be fun to make a video detailing my latest card upgrades from the recent sets and why I'm making them. Hopefully it can help you make decisions about your own decks and how to go about improving them as well!

You'll find my deck lists and my latest card upgrades here in this article, but for a detailed explanation about my decks and why I made these changes please check out the video!

Ur-Dragon Changelings

I hadn't updated my deck in about a year so I've had a backlog of changes to make:

• Curious Altisaur > Stinging Study
• Roaming Throne > Bring to Light
• Throne of the Grim Captain > Hellkite Courser
• Rick, Steadfast Leader > Curse of Opulence
• Gallifrey Council Chamber > Windswept Heath
• The Dalek Emperor > Battle of Frost and Fire

Brudiclad Mechtitan

Ixalan brought a TON of artifact goodies for the deck!

• The Everflowing Well > The Reality Chip
• Dowsing Device > Urza's Command
• Brass's Tunnel-Grinder > Saheeli's Directive
• The Indomitable > Daretti, Scrap Savant

6-Drops

It's been a long while since I made a proper update and I'm very happy for some board wipe upgrades.

• Rampaging Spiketail > Nemesis of Mortals
• Faerie Slumber Party > Feast of Succession
• Tegwyll's Scouring > Extinguish All Hope
• Great Intelligence's Plan > Life's Finale
• Lunar Hatchling > Jhessian Zombies

Kaldra

I have high hopes for Thousand Moons Smithy, looks nuts!

• Thousand Moons Smithy > Cosmic Intervention
• Diamond Pick-Axe > Loyal Warhound

Toshiro

Easy upgrades here too!

Zedruu

A nice board wipe pickup plus a great "gift!"
