Hi, i am reviewing my Urza cedh deck and the stax cards in it. I would like to keep especially: back to basics, trinisphere, static orb, winter orb and counterbalance. Is it enough?Should i also include storage matrix? Or other recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Playing with the new niv from foundations. Any tips/tricks? I love parun, but he's hobbled rn. And I just want Niv something as the commander.

Hey every one had a blast at a 5k turny with 60 people. Ended up taking 9th place with the Jolly Balloon Man. Check out this video to see it In action. https://youtu.be/_lWkuGGeGaU?si=eElgHBUxxh4hAw7J

The fact that the combos are creature based made it very complicated for people to interact. Would enjoy talking more about the deck and answer any questions.

https://discord.gg/CK9sDGHu join the Highground Discord to jam some games and talk about the deck. Here is the list: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/woF_k1X2t0OkxhoGZ3CNEQ

I've noticed a general tendency for threads in this subreddit to downvote threads, so I decided to take a closer look.

I scrolled down until new threads started loading, then scrolled back up to the top, adding together the total number of comments and adding together the total number of net upvotes.

Net Upvotes: 682

Total Comments: 972

Ratio: 1.4

There was one big outlier, an particularly large thread made by someone who top 16'd a tournament with something off-meta. It had 157 upvotes and 45 comments. Removing that sole outlier results in these numbers:

Net Upvotes: 525

Total Comments: 927

Ratio: 1.8

So... is that bad?

This subreddit gets a lot of casual deck questions that are inappropriate and therefore downvoted, but this trend isn't limited to those posts.

Do observers of this subreddit perceive it to be an unpleasant place in a way that is reinforced by or correlates to these numbers? Should seeing these numbers incentivize some sort of adjustment or change from the mods and regulars? Or are these numbers the result of rightfully-downvoted threads and mostly just a nothingburger?

Heya I'm planning on joining a 250$ tournament and I really want to bring in Stella, problem is there's a lot of stax and combat centric decks in the LGS, mainly winota and yuriko being the problem, while I have to deal with Kinnans going turbo. Would anyone have any advice on how I should play these tables out? Should I play passively, aggresively, should I counter the stax for the table or should I let my opponents do everything for me? Do I bring stella out or keep her in the command zone? Here's my decklist: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6766863#paper

Have a buddy who can usually kill me or the pod by turn 4-6 or pods by turn 7-8. Playing his strongest deck (I asked for the smoke lol) I need ideas to beat him to the punch. So what decks have you seen or play that are consistent and faster? Upvotes for all who post lists. <3

Its there a Glarb Discord yet if so anyone got a link so I can join?

I've been thinking about picking her up and want to know if it's worth it after the bans and given the current meta.

After the most recent banlist, it is safe to say that cEDH was impacted significantly and the format was ultimately changed without dockside and Jlo. What are some changes you would like to see in the format whether it be another banlist, ammendments to tournament structure or hypothetical cards (commanders or cards in the 99). I personally would like to see more cards to subsidize higher cost commanders like how Jlo did but that isn't really that creative. Thoughts or ideas?

I just wanted to share my Yuriko tempo list and primer. I've been playing some version of Yuriko since she was released, and she's my absolute favorite commander. I've developed this list over time and testing, both in-person and online, and I'm very happy with my current results. I think there's a lot of ways to play Yuriko, but this is my way, very controlling and focused on a long grindy game. Please feel free to check out my list and the attached primer. All comments and critiques are welcome!

So I just recently picked up Tymna/Krark and I’ve been having a lot of fun with it. I understand it’s not a popular deck but since I’m not a previous Krark/Sakashima player, I was wondering if there was any Krark tech that any Krark/Sakashima players would like to share. I love the depth the deck provides and I know there’s alot to learn but right now, I don’t even know what I don’t know so any tips/tech/advice would be helpful. Thanks!

I am currently looking to build a second CEDH deck, and I have been debating between Talion control and TnT Midrange / combo. Here are some of the things I am considering between.

Pros (for me) of Talion:

• Pretty straightforward gameplan, I have historically leaned towards control decks
• Definitely a bit cheaper to build, I own like 60% of a stock Talion list
• I enjoy the play patterns a lot from what I have seen of the deck
• Can run good hate pieces like cursed totem without much issue
• more resilient to back to basics / winter moon effects (as in there are more ways to stop it from hitting the board)

Cons (for me) of Talion:

• Lack of access to white and green
• it seems Less resilient to artifact / creature stax
• The consultation package in Talion kind of scares me, seeing that you are relying on drawing into a way to remove Talion before going to thoracle consult, making it effectively a 2.5 card combo.
• The deck seems week to rule of law effects, which there are several people in my local areas running them

If some people that have several reps in with both decks could provide some input, that’d be great! For the record, my Meta is a good mix of midrange, stax, and very little combo.

Hey everyone,

I am currently looking to get a new deck and I have set my eyes on white/green based stax decks. After quite some time of looking at (budget) deck lists, I came up with two decklists that I particularly like. One of them is a budget version of Blood Pod (Tymna / Tana) and the other one is a budget version of Hipster Stax (Ardenn / Tana). But to be honest I have no clue which of those is stronger, because just from the list, the Ardenn/Tana deck looks better, however in general I guess that Blood Pod is just a stronger deck in cEDH (when playing budgetless versions).

So I would appreciate if the community could give some input:
Blood Pod (Tymna / Tana): https://www.moxfield.com/decks/O_lrKheHfkOQ_z3tCIZU5A

Hipster Stax (Ardenn / Tana): https://www.moxfield.com/decks/ESvQINg0W02Hah5RviH7Ww

If someone has other suggestions for this archetype, I would also be interested of course!

Been testing Iron Man, Titan of Innovation.

The deck seems to have some potential as fringe cEDH, but I want some feedback on potential card choices. Budget isn’t an issue, just trying to optimize a fringe playable cEDH deck. There’s infinite mana lines involving basalt monolith+ Rings of Brighthearth or Forensic Gadgeteer or Power Artifact, infinite draw lines with sensei’s divining top+ Etherium Sculptor+ Mystic Forge or reality chip, Underworld Breach combos, etc. creating infinite mana via basalt combo with Iron Mans trigger on the stack, sacrificing rings or basalt for goblin cannon seems to the easiest deterministic win line, but it’s fragile. The deck seems to need aggressive mulls to either fast hands or card advantage engines. I’ve only won one out of five games with it in cEDH.

I'm going to live in Sevilla for about a year and wanted to know if there is some store o place where people play cEDH regularly?

https://youtu.be/9t_34Q65AVk

The cEDH European Championship in Lisbon just went down this past weekend, and today we're taking a look at the top 16 decks that defined this super competitive event. With 277-players we have back to back super major events to look at to get a better idea of the cEDH meta at the top level. The Commanders we're looking at are Tymna/Thrasios, Kenrith, Dihada, Kinnan, Tymna/Kraum, The Master of Keys, Rog/Si, and Yidris.

Let me know down below which of these decks was your favorite!

I feel like I'm reaching optimal levels with my [[Sythis, Harvest's Hand]] but I just feel like I'm missing something. Since every combo line takes 2 cards, I can't get off wins before turn 7 without a great opening hand. And that's win zero interaction. I plan on running [[Survival of the Fittest]] when I can afford it.

The idea behind the deck is to cast as many enchantments as possible each turn to maximize draw. Then I run a large suite of tutors and instant speed protection to keep Sythis on the battlefield. [[Gauntlets of Light]] will get me infinite mana with Sythis and [[Leyline Immersion]] or [[Sanctum Weaver]].

Hello!

I'm building a cEDH deck to play on a budget tournament. The maximum budget is defined in my country currency which would translate to roughly 100~150 USD. Right now the deck I came up with looks like this:

https://www.moxfield.com/decks/3oEml9s-GUGaYQd740nTvA

My general game plan is to hit with malcolm and trigger kediss to get 3 treasures and eventually try to combo with glinthorn or convert some pinger to pirate and go infinite.

I've checked the deck price and I can stil add ~ 50 bucks to it. With that in mind, what would you guys suggest? Is there another partner for malcolm that would do better on a budget?

Thanks!

I’m wondering what people’s thoughts are on looking at/ seeing hand of people who are bleeding their hands. This happens frequently and I let people know I can see their hands. To me this is kind of not my problem but wanted to know what solutions if any people have tried to implement in their pods.

Just commented on a post about how my girlfriend's Kess deck was doing pretty well in our midrange hell meta and decided to post the list up to see if I can get optimization suggestions. I'm mostly an Esper player so my experience with red is limited, even though I am up against it often. I also never really played Kess. The decklist is below, let me know what ya'll think. Budget is unlimited, go nuts, show nuts.

Edit: Deck obviously wins through Thoracle or the Underworld Breach combo most of the time.

I’m making a [Storm, Force of Nature] cedh deck and there’s hardly any guides that fit the vision i want to see this deck to go. Are there any 2 combos that you could storm a tutor like eldritch evolution or chord of calling?

Also, is there a cedh storm force of nature discord established?

I know she's far from a tier one deck but she's in my favorite colors and just can't get myself to put together rog/si. I want to build it right between midrange and turbo.

We are just a few days away from the fall cash days @ punchout gaming in Forest Lake. Sign up is as usual through top deck but we will not take payment in advance!

Show up with $30 cash at the door for check-in. Prize support is all cash and will depend on how many people sign up! We expect this to be a smaller event compared to our past events, but if we hit 33 people, it will be a topdeck silver event!

This was originally a tweet, which can be found here. As a result, the formatting will be a bit off.

The Boil 2: 295 players (US)
Road to Lisbon: 258 players (Europe)

We have 287/295 lists from The Boil 2, featuring 89 unique commanders, 50 of which didn’t appear at RoadToLisbon.
For RoadToLisbon, we have 253/258 lists, with 69 (nice!) unique commanders, 30 of which didn’t show up at The Boil 2.
This means they overlap in 39 commanders.

Looking at these 39 commanders:
US has more Magda, Rog/Thras, Dargo/Tymna, Sisay, Yuriko, Atraxa, Shorikai.
Europe has more TnT, TnK, Rog/Si, Krark/Thras, Tayam, Inalla, Talion, Urza. More details in the images in the tweet.

The top 10 commanders at The Boil 2 make up 55% of the field, while the top 10 at RoadToLisbon make up 63% -> RoadToLisbon has more meta decks
Commander diversity: The Boil 2: 89/287 = 0.31 commanders per player. RoadToLisbon: 69/253 = 0.27 commanders per player.

Now, looking at the unique commanders at each event:
The Boil 2: The most played were Ob Nixilis, Malcolm/Kediss, Borborygmos and Fblthp, Malcolm/Tymna, K'rrik, 8 two-ofs and rest one-ofs.
RoadToLisbon: Only Derevi stands out. The rest are one-ofs.

Hey all,

Im building the new Storm commander for Marvel. This question is in regards to Magecraft. So if storm count is 4. I cast brainstorm and it triggers Storm's ability so brainstorm has storm. Now Ive casted it and there are 5 copies. Do i draw the 5 cards due to all the copies or is it just the fact I made a copy of a single spell and draw 2 (for the the original cast and 1 for the copying of the spell)

In the current meta, which commander is better for cedh? been thinking to build atraxa because well, I really want to play atraxa because who does not want to play atraxa, right? blink, food chain combos, etc. However, I see in the current meta that tivit is still performing well and has a lot of stuffs to do. what do you guys recommend?
I currently use winota as cedh but well, she does not perform well right now and I want to try a new cedh commander.
