    My son played the Virtue and Valor deck. It's pretty awesome. It ramps everything up and having ways to grab auras and enchantments out of the graveyard can be brutal. He was having a great time turning anything cool into a 3/3 elk with no abilities. Best joke of the night... "I just want to see you happy. I then want to take that happiness and turn it into a 3/3 elk" lol
  • @arkknight92
    Velociramptor without upgrades is pretty strong out of the box. Upgrading it destroys high power decks.

    I just want to say Henzie is a precon I bought on a whim and it's my all-time favorite deck. I think part of it is that it actually accounts for all the parts of commander that can be less fun: Because creatures are blitzed, you a pretty much guaranteed to always do something cool/fun on your turn. His second ability isn't one I ever use intentionally but does make you feel better when he gets removed, which ameliorates the bad feeling of having your commander removed, as in some ways your deck works stronger. Plus if he's removed early, you get a noticeable cost reduction for the rest of the game. If he's removed later, you can usually recost him and still do something else on your turn. Because your creatures die at the end of the turn, your board is usually never huge, which I think helps other players feel as if your deck is "fair"/interactable, which I think helps how the table feels. However, when your board gets huge, it's usually because you just did something very cool and likely did a bunch of damage/resolved triggers, so when you do get targeted you don't feel bad. Finally, the deck just does a bit of everything I'd want to do. Stompy bois? cool ETBs? cool combat triggers? cool die triggers? Reanimation? All great. All the while, the blitz draw keeps you getting more options. I know there's an infinite combo or two, but my group doesn't play with those. And the combat-centric playstyle makes the games go faster too. You can build a Henzie deck at pretty much any level or budget, and have a good time no matter what. I highly recommend the Henzie Discord for deck discussion and card recommendations, but honestly, you can just play whatever creatures you like to resolve.

    KADENA MENTIONED WOOOOOH! This was my second Commander deck and I love it, it's still my best casual deck. The only thing it's not mentioned here is Morph can turn into a really complicated mechanic, I suggest any player to read and watch videos about Morph or you'll be slowing the game down on the table from time to time.
  • @1973mckenzie
    Henzie Torre sounds like a fun deck to build. I can see Wurmcoil Engine fitting right in :)
  • @Xonides
    Kadena was so underrated. I ended up getting a lot of the 2019 commanders and she performs really consistently. Not super strong but not a push over. Very fun deck
  • @Ohkapi
    You sold Morph deck (Kedena) and Virtue and Valor deck for me. Thanks so much for introducing these 5 precons to me. ❤
  • @ThaMobstarr
    I bought the Rebellion Rising deck and really enjoyed my time upgrading it. Although after a while I noticed that the deck underperformed for me with Neyali at the helm and switched to the alternative commander Otharri. Otharri is a powerhouse that needs to be dealt with. But in the end I actually ended up taking apart the deck again and making an Isshin (Two Heavens As One) deck which is really, really fun to play for me.
  • @alternate3787
    Wanted to mention Spirit Squadron. Its not a very typical but very well done tribal, that cares about dying, tapping and graveyards. The list is pretty tight and revolves around spirits, so there arent that many expensive staples, but it plays really nice
  • @zacharyjoy8724
    All of the decks you showcased here are all ones that I’ve tested, and depending on the table, can hold their own VERY well. I happily replay all of them. 😊
  • @LiVApathy
    I’ve watched a lot of these types of videos as a new player. This list is actually helpful and well done. Thank you.
  • Just got the rebellion rising deck yesterday for $28, it's a great option for clever concealment and flawless manuever, while some of the remaining cards could be used to brew or add to other decks. The worth of the full precon is around $63 and i found out i had direct use to aroud $39 of it so it was a no brainer.
  • @voxvire2350
    Started playing with virtue and valor and it's so much fun
  • @theboller4154
    Virtue and Valor is my wife's favorite deck. It isn't complicated. It's fast. It can get crazy powerful in absolutely no time.
  • @FKOAOmega
    I bought the Rebellion Rising deck and it was really fun. After a while it switched it to Jetmir. Good pick.
  • Just built a Henzie deck with scraps I had lying around. Such a fun commander!
  • @zeddestroyer
    I’ve been eyeing Riveteers for awhile, definitely gonna get it.
  • @luck588
    I'm getting that Eldraine one for my GF, found a pack with it and the fairie deck and I'm picking the enchantments one for her and the other one for me since I want a dimir commander. It'll be her first deck so I hope she has can have a great time with it
  • @gs8494
    The group my wife and I play with like to use our own EDH decks but every once in a while we have a precon night where we use the decks as they are sold no upgrades, surprisingly enough it's a lot of fun though most decks are poor to average some do hold up quite well Rebellion Rising and Virtue and Valor like you said being two great decks out of the box. Another good one out of the box is Urza's Iron Alliance, always have a ball with it, even if it wasn't I'd still enjoy it the old style borders are a nice nostalgia trip. I have this thing when I get Dungeons of Death with Sefris, I so want it to work, and it never does. :D
