Archdruids charm is absolutely bonkers in Tayam, exiling hate pieces, kill spell, creature tutor, and gaea's cradle straight into play is really broken. Insidious roots was also really nice to have
Huge fan of Murders at Karlov solely for Doorkeeper Thrull. Flash on a hushbringer can allow decks running white to reactively interact with dockside and thoracle without blue. I'm also looking forward to High Noon from Thunder Junction
Throne of Eldraine should be included as part of the first non-block of the FIRE design era. Oko, OUaT, Henge, Kenrith, Midnight Clock all came from that set (dunno if Korvold and Chulane are cEDH viable)
Great video! With Theros Beyond Death releasing and Flash's ban exactly 3 months apart from each other, it definitely feels like the beginning of an era. Not to mention the Fierce Guardianship cycle coming out in that same window. Great place to start the video. (Minor gripe, the saliva sounds at 13:37 through headphones was an experience)
I love this video. I feel like you missed Ashaya, Soul of the Wild as a significant combo enabler for low color green decks from Zendikar Rising while also insulating your board from Cyclonic Rift and later Culling Ritual. Surveil lands also saw a significant uptick in play at Punt City 3 last weekend with a majority of 2 and 3 color lists performing well playing a copy, most notably decks like RogSi and Tymna/Malcolm on camera. That said, great video.
I loooove your videos. I may be wrong but isn't Slicer from Brother's War a cEDH mono red "voltron" ? Pretty much the only thing I was expecting to see that didn't get talked about. Keep up the great work man !
I've never heard of or watched your channel before I stumbled on this video, but if you are gonna keep making CEDH or Magic content in general, I'll keep watching. Well made stuff, thoughtful and entertaining, well researched with just enough humor and personality to keep things light.
I disagree with your evaluation on Dominaria United, Sheoldred is without a doubt the single best 4-drop ever printed, the only thing holding it back from being a true cEDH staple is the fact that Thoracle Consultation exists. If Consultation or Thoracle get the ban hammer-- which at the very least Thoracle should, but ideally Consultation and Tainted Pact instead, but that is for a different discussion-- then immediately, grindy decks like Tayam and other midrange options, Turbo Naus variants, Food Chain lines, and Razaketh lines become a lot more competitive. And you know what all of those various strategies would immediately include the second Thoracle is no longer an omnipresent threat? Sheoldred. Sure, the meta would just shift to Underworld Breach being the best combo in the format, but compared to Thoracle Consultation, it is a lot easier to interact with through graveyard exile or stax pieces.
At 14:15 you mention that no cards for high tier decks is a detriment, while I feel that anything that can push mid-low tier decks to the level of high tier decks is actually an upside. We don't really need more good stuff for Kinnan or TK. But for Tymna+Malcolm or Rocco? Please more!
Ikoria (a la commander decks) not mentioning Deflecting Swat, Deadly Rollick, or Fierce Guardianship is kap. Also introduces the Triomes. Set was bonkers.
strixhaven also brought magecraft infinite combos to golgari (professor onyx/witherbloom apprentice) as well as storm kiln artist to spell slinger decks
Gunna be so real with you here. Wizards learned their lesson with powercreep and dialed it back. it is a GOOD thing cedh doesnt get more than a few cards a year. because when those cards creep into casual games its awful.
Bit surprised not seeing Rowan Scion of War not given a shout out for its place in rakdos turbo lists (big dragonstorm fan), i'd say that'd push it to a 9. Otherwise good stuff!
I'm shocked that pick your poison isn't being played more in green decks, but maybe it'll catch on or maybe those decks tend to be running red or white anyways so they dont need the artifact/enchantment hate so much
Molten duplication will definitely be a staple I'm decks running Dualcaster mage. I have hopes Stella Lee will become a cedh deck and actually make an impact
Please make more of these style of videos going into combos and win-lines in cEDH and high power edh. As a newer player it's really useful to see the logic of how the interactions work and how you can use them to pursue wining plays. I would love some videos on how to mix and match different combo pieces in order to find creative win-lines. Staring at a hand and board state that you don't think can win and then suddenly seeing a line is one of the most gratifying and enjoyable experiences I've had in this game, and the more I learn the more I find I'm able to spot those weird non-standard lines to a win. For example, I recently played a game with my Vadrik combo deck (not cEDH just high power EDH). I had Vadrik on board with two power, and managed to bait out a counterspell from the only player with open mana before managing to put a storm-kiln artist on the field. I had one open blue mana, two red mana, and a Mystic Speculation and Inspired Tinkering in hand. I found a win line by looping Mystic speculation (with Vadrik paying the buyback and the treasure from storm kiln paying the blue) to get the storm count super high and get a Mind's Desire, a Haze of Rage, and a Mox Amber to the top of my deck. Then I used the treasure, Vadrik's discount, and my last two mana to play inspired tinkering, creating 3 treasures (four because of storm kiln) and exiling those three cards on top. Played Mox Amber just to be sure I had enough open mana to deal with free counterspells, used Haze of Rage to generate infinite mana with Vadrik/Storm Kiln, and then Mind's Desire to exile my library and cast it for free.
really hope for some sort of followup on Outlaws once the format has had some time to adapt to it, really curious if it'll live up to the hype or be more of a Brother's War.
I've completely tuned out of the 24/7/365 spoiler season and just interact with old(er) boxes local players have sitting in their closets 🤷 I'll probably get to Thunder Junction mid/late next year LOL
With the new otj u can tell there tryna appease the cedh player while tryna to think of the whining that will happen from edh players if it's to powerful wotc jus make cedh sets fk it 🤣
Holy shit, I totally forgot ThOracle and Breach came out in the same set... insane lol
Don't forget that Tivit also came out in Capenna
I think he didn’t count that because it was in the commander deck
He was jsut doing standard legal cards ig?
@@harleybaker4684 Yeah I realized that as soon as the LOTR set wasnt mentioned

Surprised that Rowan scion of war wasn't mentioned for the wilds of eldraine set.
Aven interrupter. Very good, very playable card from OTJ for sure

I feel like cedh commanders come out more often than cards for the 99 but I may be wrong
6:51 can't believe bro forgot about Fable of the Mirrorbreaker ;-;
Does Magda *really* put Kaldheim on the same level as TBD?
Talion is by far better than yuriko, and its not even close 😂
Is tallion better then yuriko in tournaments?
This was a very well put together video great job man!!
What about the commander sets? 40k.. lotr..?
Those are UB not core sets
LOTR is also one of best set

great video mate!
With almost no odd-value ratings on this list, you could have easily done a score out of 5 and still gotten your point across.
Great video but he forgot "trouble in pairs" which is seeing a lot of test play as a anti-extra turn and draw engine smothering tithe
Awesome video!

Best!
Wotc sure is flooding the market with magic cards lately. Thats so many sets
I've completely tuned out of the 24/7/365 spoiler season and just interact with old(er) boxes local players have sitting in their closets 🤷
I'll probably get to Thunder Junction mid/late next year LOL
Where do I find those card backs without the white pips in the intro? 😅
Fantastic video! Looking forward to more of your content
2:42 don’t forget best boy legendary boar elemental
no white on the back of the cards xD
MH2 ?
With the new otj u can tell there tryna appease the cedh player while tryna to think of the whining that will happen from edh players if it's to powerful wotc jus make cedh sets fk it 🤣
Every set has at least a card or few
Quitting MTG was the single decision of my life. If you're looking for a reason to jump, fucking jump bros
