Limited resources would make linvala an actual deck

there is a lot that I don't really like about CDH? embracing the ideology that it's okay to neuter your opponent. as in, completely lock them down until you can generate enough mana to win in one turn. I feel as though this is the case, despite what points some people out there will argue with. it has also become a money game. The problem with this is, it forces a lot of people to resort to either buying or making fakes AKA proxies. I don't really like to embrace using those overexpensive cards. sure, they might have more unique effects? but, I kind of like searching through my cards and finding something that works better for what I'm trying to do. which, seems very contrary to what CEDH is all about. All the sleeves up to whenever I go against someone using a CEDH deck? it always feels very impressive and depressing in equal parts.

12:24 Shoulda used a newer version of Necropotence, I was staring at it wondering how you respond to a replacement effect until I pulled up the Oracle text and figured out that it got errata'd to be a trigger

I personally don’t like Commander. But I don’t think there are any “design failures” of Commander. Commander was Never designed to be a game. Magic was the game. A 1vs1 duel where the action is fast and no quarter is given. It’s no holds barred annihilate your opponent. Commander is just a variation of Magic, and as such, has problems.

is this deck list still relevant? im a beginner looking to pickup a deck that is sort of easy to pilot and i seen this was at the top of your tier list for beginners.

Finality counter only exiles if the creature dies, not meaning to nitpick, but it might increase the types of loops you can do with that mh3 skeleton

strix serenade is staple.. there are rare good counter spell for creature that has mana cost of 1.. usually cedh its hard to counter a creature since you can remove it. but for the sake of ETB i think strix should be a staple.. ill take it over galvanic for sure.. also for flare of fortitude.. you can combo it with ad nauseum for free yes you need white creature still good at least it should be on playable.. also volatile is good as removal or steal creatures.. should be on staple.. even with indestructible u may sac that if u don't want it.. cedh most creatures are under 4 cmc.. so volatile drake is good.. once they use it more price will climb at least 10 to 15$.

Love this! I've been brewing Rog/Thras since beginning cedh, and with mh3, I FINALLY have the remaining cards to complete my build! Your Cradle direction inspired me to retool. It's made me realize I need to build within the community. Does anyone know of a Rog/Thras discord?

Do you think toothy and pir are cedh viable

I'm actually the guy who ran the Thras Vial deck! If you want you can go look at the updated deck I did change some things but going into that tournament I didn't own the lions eye diamond so I didn't run the combo. I've never proxied decks and didn't plan to start now. It was a ton of fun and definitely earned my place at that tournament

Take these lists with a grain of salt, it was a no proxies allowed so lists could be skewed

i loved the five color lurrus list

I can agree for competitive. In high school I had UR pyromancer’s ascension storm and splinter twin before the ban. No one wanted to play against them. So I built another deck to play them with that wasn’t just a turn 4 win uninterrupted. I love winning and demoralizing my opponents but when it’s just casual magic it’s not as fun to do so.

LFG korvold daddy

I absolutely love these in depth cEDH deck breakdowns. I’d love to see many more.

I was the first Nadu deck you reviewed, lost to another Nadu that was in Seat 1 in the semis with a cracked hand. I also won the SeaEDH 6 event the previous weekend in Seattle on Nadu. I also made a pretty lengthy video talking about my win with Nadu on my channel. If you ever want to chat about the deck let me know. I got lots of thoughts.

Love the breakdowns of each deck and your content as a whole. I’m getting into the cedh space now after playing modern and legacy since 2013, have a few tournaments next month nearby I want to gear up to take on what deck would you recommend I do like the look of rogsi and blue farm from the content I’ve consumed and have a good understanding of a lot of the cards/combos just unsure of pace of the game and windows and those nuances plan to jam a lot of mtgo once I select a deck in prep.

Excited to try Korvold with Soultrader and Chatterfang and cradle this weekend. Also maybe song of dryads to answer the nadu and meathook massacre. Get em w six from the yard.

I’m the clown here 😂

It's a good thing you and I both know that River Hoopoe is officially the best card. 👀

Noteably interaction with unctus and Seeker of skybreak/Aphetto Alchemist: tap and untap them, loot though your deck

That g/r deck plays almost the exact same as my meria scholar of antiquity

Erinis player here. Deck does insane work and would’ve been able to lock for top 4 if not for a misplay. That deck is the truth 100%. It holds nadu down too so it’s very well positioned

no urza? is he even viable at all anymore? or just many better options?

I so badly want to see a Derevi list go nuts with some of these new cards that have been added

I'm here to praise Magda ❤

Erinis is insane, I borrowed it from a buddy to play as a meme, and man the deck did great, only game I lost was top pod, because the sisay player kingmade the slicer..

Great review. Was my first real tournament and was the Stella player. Definitely gave me some stuff to consider swapping out. Overall was a great experience and looking forward to doing more in the future. Honestly didn’t know people reviewed tournament decks until my friends shared this video with me, but this was awesome to watch. Keep up the great work.

this tourny really shows that the alot of tnk & rogsi players dont own real duals or L.E.Ds lol

i saw this coming, Nadu is going to dominate commander until it's banned. Nothing can compete with what it does. If someone sits down to play Nadu and the three other opponents aren't immediately looking to "arch enemy" that player they win. i'd hate to see a table where there's more than one Nadu. if i don't play Nadu, it will only be because my LGS punishes players for playing "Storm" or similar time consuming decks.

This was my first ever cEDH tournament and I wanted so badly to make the top 16. I didn't make it unfortunately, but I still got 20th so not the worst?

Atraxa player here, apprieciate the criticism/breakdown. Having picked up the deck just recently, trying out things like Hullbreaker and Trophy are just me seeing what works and what doesn't. Also Nadu Summer is very real lmao

You do such a great job I really like the format of your videos and you release frequent enough to stay interesting. Keep up the good work. 😊

Hullbreacher, never forget.

Just to add some context, top 4 of this tournament agreed to a split. Kenrith wanted points for topdeckgg reasons. Krarkashima ended up winning the bragging rights game

Nadu is such a good shake up of the current boring midrange good stuff meta. And now forcing people to actually play removal artifact/ enchantment/ creature is a good thing. Glad boring blue farm is taking a hit from this. See that deck to much and getting stale

the korvold looks crazy

A Hikaru Utada reference in 2024?!!! I feel old. XD

Thanks for the love on the najeela deck. Its been fun working on the list with, funny enough, the player who took first

[[Verrak, Warped Sengir]] is coming [[Apple of Eden, Isu Relic]] [[Warren Soultrader]] [[Gravecrawler]] [[Kambal, Profiteering Mayor]] [[Reassembling Skeleton]] [[Yawgmoth, Thran Physician]]

Side note. Springheart Nantuko does not require to pay anything to get the bug.

Trinket mage is an amazing tutor for shuko. Tutoring for a creature tutor to snag trinket mage is a roundabout way to get shuko.

Surprised nobody covered the topdeck titans event with all the nadu talk going around. 3 nadu's in the top 4 alone.

Non proxy event feels like it supports a nadu type build? Since it runs a ton of jank

Just a heads up. Elsha has prowess... brainstorm away guys!!! OBM wont be able to kill it just off the draws.

Heads up: when you were reviewing krakashima, the Ral only needs to cast 6 spells (winning the 6th) not 8. He starts with 2 loyalty. Honestly makes a big difference to ulting immediately

Fun fact, the last large PNW tournament also had no tymna/kraums. Blue farm really isnt the meta up here somehow

anvil dust kenrith list is amazing i play the same deck with a couple meta swaps and i love it glad to see a great pilot take the win at this tourny

I hate how good this deck is. Super resilient and annoying to play against. Matt has thumped me so many times on this list

Nadu ban now
