Love this, even though I am not attending any tournaments. I learned so much about the cedh meta and how to answer the popular archetypes in just one episode.
First time I have left a comment but you are absolutely right that this is the type of content that people like myself who play a lot of events would want to see.
from what i gathered out of this video, najeela would be a pretty great option as it can turbo nuas but also has relatively fast creature based wincons.
I am in a small isolated meta of around 12-16 players, so I don't really know how well my experience translates. Anyhow, I think any Malcolm + X that runs Buccaneer is a good pick (Tana, Vial Smasher, Bruse). To me it seems like cEDH is currently not prepared well to stop a 1 card creature based combo. I personally prefer the Grixis build. Tana -> most consistent Grixis -> most versatile Jesaki -> most defensive to make sure the combo goes actually off.
@@ComedIanMTG Hell yeah! I love the randomness of getting to play four decks in CEDH. I have been testing a thrasios/Seedborn muse shell in it recently with Seasons loops. Do you think there is anything to that or is Dawnwaker just the overall superior choice because you get to add white and the obvious CMC out of Command Zone for Neoform/Evolution
Great insight as always. I've been running a TevIshai Humility variant that's been hyper focused on landing and keeping Humility on the board and its been absolutely disgusting against midrange decks. Would be my personal choice for the first one. The turboish metas, im with you, though i prefer Inalla over RogSilas. Both great options though with the same goal, go brrrrrr. However, a DOCTOR convinced me recently, to look into a deck he's been playing. Its absolutely the deck i would bring to those turbo heavy events if i wanted to play stax. Hopefully, those events have...CATERERS, if ye catch mah drift. Think if i wanted to be a one deck Andy for every tournament, Najeela, Temur / Grixis Pirates or Kinnan would be my pick.
Always enjoy your videos. I'm new to the competitive environment and would like more videos explaining what makes each type of deck tick and what their strengths and weaknesses are.
Thank you for this video bro, still considering pako/ haldan for ELD on the 31st or yuriko because it's the deck I play the most but so many good options for the meta cedh as a whole is so diverse it's so good right now to play magic
Best decks to use are usually creature combo decks and decks the average player will misplay against. I've got my top 4 and top 8 with thrasios kraum by doing stuff like neoing Kraum and players forgetting that Deadeye Navigator is a card that exists. It's crazy what mid-average players let resolve.
Love it. Going to hopefully play minsc and boo timeless heros this weekend. Maybe meet the monowhiteguy. Bummed I dropped out of all my discord channels including yours.
Hey I absolutely love this video and it could not have come at a more perfect time. I love in a small area and the yearly commander tourney is coming up late August with around 40ish people. I got top 8 last year with budget-ish blue farm list but I’m really nervous for the upcoming tournament. The meta is very midrange and, here comes the weird part, there are 1v1s and 15 card sideboards despite mine and other player’s protests. Do you think I should stick with my budget-ish blue farm, or go something like krark/saka? Thanks for the help and video I love the channel :)
Would you consider blood Pod that's tuned for ad nauseum strategies (with Vivien + pod) to be too slow for the turbo metas you discussed? Yes it is looking to slow down the game, but It effectively has 2 x 1 card wincons now.
Bro, imma need more content from you. So if you could make that happen, my ears and brain would appreciate it. I need the cedh discussion topics, primer reviews and such to stimulate the senses, like 5Gum…
Can't say that specifically however there are a number of times in which the deck has come up during tournament breakdowns and I know I've thrown in thoughts. Tbh I don't often speak about it because it's quite boring to me :/ the archetype feels relatively stagnant and the gameplay is rather streamlined
It's very explosive and strong. Definitely has pros and cons compared to the other Rograkh decks. I tend to prefer the added colors but tevesh in the CZ adds a lot of consistency
more vids on how to grind cedh tournaments pls!!!! i like watching your vids because they arent gameplay vids, we get our own experiences through our own cedh gameplay. but i need those keys which i cant get through gameplay expereinces and this video provides this exactly. pls keep on doing this kind of content. gz Moryska#1234
Can’t get enough meta discussion for CEDH. I would love to see more information on the non US metas in the future.
Great idea! Discussing how the metas of different continents and areas are is fun.

We need more Ian in the community. More videos please!!!
Lets rename it Ianedh
With all the tournaments that's going on this is a great video keep up the good work
from what
i gathered out of this video, najeela would be a pretty great option as it can turbo nuas but also has relatively fast creature based wincons.
I do think it would be well positioned for the ladder 2 events
Meta discussions are always welcome, very well done!
I'm preparing the tier1con and this video was really helpful
Now I have to adapt my TnT deck to this meta
Love all the cEDH tournament discussions

I personally prefer the Grixis build.
Tana -> most consistent
Grixis -> most versatile
Jesaki -> most defensive to make sure the combo goes actually off.
Love your content! Became a huge fan when I found out we’re both Haldan/Pako players in CEDH!
Hell yeah. Marley Bonk all day

Keep up with these videos. It's a great discussion.

I'd love to see an updated version of this video Ian

Great video, i was just hoping for an analysis like this, thanks
Wotc needs a esport channel , because this content is what’s needed if you are a serious mtg player in cedh very informative keep it up !
That really would be amazing. The hope for me is to keep providing spaces for folks to play
Would be great to get Meta updates every couple of months!
Thanks for the vid
Would love more of these!
Yes this video def help hope to see ya in Philly

I'd stick to the blue farm list personally. Especially in 1v1. Any removal really sets back krark saka and in 1v1 it's gonna be way more common
@@ComedIanMTG Thank you for the reply! I really appreciate it.
Amazing vid! Love your insights on the meta. Good luck in the mlc :)
The Turbo feedback loop, i.e. the east coast Grixis meta (lol). / Thanks so much for this video, Ian! Super helpful in my thinking for Tier1.
Excellent video
Hello ComedianMTG thank you for this content
Love this content. Would love to make it to Kaos, but might not have time. At least I can be ready for it anyway, thanks Ian
I have to pass two newborn due two days b4
😄

I personally wouldn't feel very comfortable with that approach but it's worth testing into faster pods
Would Tymna/Tana MetaPod would be a good deck for a general meta that slightly leans towards control?

Hey Comedian, do you have a video on najeela builds?

17:53 just hits different now
What you’re opinion on Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh and Tevesh Szat, Doom of Fools as a cedh deck
It's very explosive and strong. Definitely has pros and cons compared to the other Rograkh decks. I tend to prefer the added colors but tevesh in the CZ adds a lot of consistency
Awesome vid bud
Nice is always good
Nice work playa
Wow cool shirt Ian
Also the video is good
Good Video.
Are these tournaments 1v1?
4 player free for all
Big fan and a recent sub! Greta stuff
Just in time :)
Play Najeela. Be a decent player and have a bit of luck. Should work out
