As a player who has devoured a lot of cedh/edh content out there, I think this is the content that we should see more often!!! You have a really good understanding and way to explain this game's theory
Beginning Player: “I have the biggest Dino so I win” Intermediate Player: “Noooo you can’t just play big creatures you have to have stack interaction and win conditions” Advanced Player: “I have the biggest Dino so I win”
I actually already saw him in action on a cedh table. Really easy to underestimate at the beginning, but really strong. He ended up winning one of the two games with etali killing everyone with poison
Loving the format Rebell! This is also perfect, because a guy at our LGS was asking me about Etali, and really surprised when I told him that the guy had some cEDH potential! Definitely passing this video over to him when I next get the chance. Thanks a bunch for making this, and definitely looking forward to more!
I found this video very educational in explaining the decklist and how it's positioned in the format. I might give this a try in both casual (Etali loves Eldrazi as well!) and competitive environments! Great job, I really cannot stress how much I liked this video format enough.
Great video rebel. It was a very good explaination into the strengths of the deck that many did see at first glance. Very informative and thank you for covering it as I am the guy that got the top 16 with it in mox masters
@@RebellLily No you did amazing. I would say that this deck doing well though, among others like atraxa, shows that when comes to new cards as commanders, for existing strategies or soon to be that the only real way to know for sure if something is viable is to see and try. If anything in opinion this format is far from solved and experimentation is key to new and innovative discoveries in this amazing format. Again Thank you for great work covering said format.
This is good. I don't think I've seen another channel have such a thorough yet digestible breakdown that didn't take half a fucking hour. Excellent video.
Please do more videos like this! I have always felt a disconnect between cedh and how I typically play edh because the mentality of cedh deckbuilding was totally lost on me. The video has really helped to start bridging the gap, so you better make more!
This and the one ring video as well are really nice. Fairly short video, easy to watch and it covered exactly what it needs to, very concise. feel like I could go build an etali deck with this video, know roughly how to play it and if i was sitting across from it I would have a good idea of what i need to do/watch for against it. Really well done video
Last week I played casual commander and my friend showed me his Atla Palani deck beforehand. I saw he had a Etali, Primal Conqueror in his deck. I was a little scared of that dino in particular. Somehow he the very first hit with Ashnod’s Altar was Etali. It was only turn 5. Everyone else was still ramping or being mana screwed. However I got the perfect answer against his (later transformed) Etali. I was able to flip Thaumatic Compass just in time, before he could find removal for the artifact. He could not interact with my land and I basically held Etali in check the whole game with it. It felt really good. Utility lands are amazing.
I happened to click on this video since it was about a card I found a few weeks ago, and I'm glad I did! This was a really entertaining and informative video! I'll be sure to check out some of your other content as well.
@@RebellLily new player here. i play a very mediocre etali deck (just learning dockside lines). I never considered rituals to get you closer to Transforming big Dino or to keep making other plays
Love the amount of detail and breakdown you go here. Also, who doesn’t love dinosaurs? I haven’t been this happy about a deck breaking into the cEDH meta since I heard about Selvala Brostorm
Just played this at magiccon, need to tune the list and practice more because I spent the entire time as the threat and missed the win twice, feelsgoodman!
I really enjoyed this video! Was a great summary of both why the deck was well positioned and does well, along with the structure of the deck and the types of cards it plays with some of the more standard combos. :D Sad I can't go this ham with it on Arena...
You know, I don't really play cEDH and I may have been tooking at the Entertainer and the Fate god as possible Gruul commanders, but knowing I have a copy of this guy in my Temur Landfall deck and having watched this video has given me ideas.
Nice,i finded only now your video,subbed. Great Job 👍👍👍 Actually i have a godo , a temur pirates Budget friendly,an eldrazi unbound upgraded and an exit from exile upgraded,the last one despite 35 cards upgraded it s still a 💩💩💩,make all the stuff on the table but never able to win ,i m thinking to convert Exit from exile into this deck,but have to look for a Budget friendly decklist,because my playgroup has almost banned my Godo
I really dislike defense grid, it always feels like it gives the game away to a combo deck if you don't win immediately as you protected their turn. I think we should be cutting it for literally anything else, the etali win lines are very cool for gruul though, those food chain lines are gonna be fun to see popping off.
hey, so I noticed the thumbnail and title was different iirc and I also saw a twitter convo between you and Carl PErks where he suggested some changes. Not calling you out here, rather, I am curious to see the differences because I am making some content here and there as well and learning what tickles the algorithm could be pretty helpful. Anyway, cool vid.
it's...I...My favourite stompy boi has been declared...good? I have a strat and a reason to include him in high level play? ...oh this'll be next level fun!
Just had this come up in my recommended. Recognizing that Pantlaza can't one-shot a player by itself, does it add enough with white identity to have similar cEDH possibilities?
He's in my Henzie deck. Cuz even if I don't flip him nobody wants to deal with a 7/7 Trample Haste that steals their shit. And you bet your ass I got means to recursion or reanimate him coming out of my plumbing.
Me: The new etali is cedh That one player with all the rituals and artfacts casting etali turn 1-3 and running away with the game everytime: "EtaLi IsNt CeDH"
Would you say that the deck can be built to work as a high power non cedh deck? I've been looking for a new deck to fill a power level that's strong, but doesn't feel overwhelming (I built Slicer before I found out he was cEdh and I haven't been able to play it at my store in months 😡)
I cant believe you would do this to the queen herself, Zacama!!! Where's her deck tech video??? #justice_for_zacama!!! (Seriously though, was a great video!!!)
Sooooo u r just saying that Etali is good because Green/Red has good value and combo cards that don't feel dead + combat damage, but Etali has no good ways to find either Curio or Food Chain. Which means its just Korvold with no tutors, so why is it good then if it's just a restricted verison of Korvold? Good question.
Dino go brrrrrrrrrr
BRRrRR!!!!
@@RebellLily
Etali: The storm rages and the earth breaks.
Etali phyrexian: SCRRRRRAAWW.. POW POW. BRRR
I built him as a commander and it is the most thought less wins in a pod. Ramp to 7 and then win
brrRAWR
Brrrrr, that ice age vibe
As a player who has devoured a lot of cedh/edh content out there, I think this is the content that we should see more often!!! You have a really good understanding and way to explain this game's theory
Thank you so much!!! I would love to do more
Beginning Player: “I have the biggest Dino so I win”
Intermediate Player: “Noooo you can’t just play big creatures you have to have stack interaction and win conditions”
Advanced Player: “I have the biggest Dino so I win”
Etali player, to the intermediate: "Oh, I have stack interaction. Yours."
Green's answer to threats is removing the player. The more things chance, the more they stay the same :)
I actually already saw him in action on a cedh table. Really easy to underestimate at the beginning, but really strong. He ended up winning one of the two games with etali killing everyone with poison
YUP that backside is pretty strong
Loving the format Rebell!

Thank you! I'll definitely make of these then!
It's just the information I need for my grul friend to look at Cedh.
"Look, Big Dino. Cast Deck"
This 100%. Fav dino is a Spino, so Etali I must.
I found this video very educational in explaining the decklist and how it's positioned in the format. I might give this a try in both casual (Etali loves Eldrazi as well!) and competitive environments!
Great job, I really cannot stress how much I liked this video format enough.
YES! I'm so glad you're looking into cedh Etali. Thanks so much for the deck list and explanations!

Love all your cEDH stuff! You rock Rebell!!!
YOU rock! Thank you!
I love all your videos, but I especially like these quick looks ones. Also I enjoy your pubstomper/grinder shorts/skits!
Thank you! Good to know
This is good. I don't think I've seen another channel have such a thorough yet digestible breakdown that didn't take half a fucking hour. Excellent video.
This is one the most informative, interesting, and entertaining MTG videos out there. Well done.
Just wanted to say this was a very well explained, articulated and entertaining video! Cheers 🍻
Love the structure of your decks. Noone else puts as much attention on their videos and the game as you
Please do more videos like this! I have always felt a disconnect between cedh and how I typically play edh because the mentality of cedh deckbuilding was totally lost on me. The video has really helped to start bridging the gap, so you better make more!

Took this to a small UK tournament
Never lost a game even the fun ones between rounds
Thanks
Excellent video! Such a great ressource, specially for a new cedh player like me. Subbed and looking forward to watching your other videos!
This is fantastic content, love this style of video. Subbed!
Amazing analysis! Gonna print it asap and use it in my pod
Wow, thnx for the insight on the card and its impact on cedh.
I like this succinct video style a lot for quick deck/meta explanations. Love the other stuff on yr channel too tho!
Rebell blesses us 2 days in a row!!! No way!
Got one more in the chamber for tomorrow ;)
"tell me how you like this style of video"
Seeing as this is the first and thus only video of yours i have watched, i gotta say i like it.
My Etali deck won on turn 6 tonight and this video gave me many new ideas to make it stronger
Wow! Which parts gave you ideas
@@RebellLily new player here. i play a very mediocre etali deck (just learning dockside lines). I never considered rituals to get you closer to Transforming big Dino or to keep making other plays
I casually wondered why Etali was showing up in cEDH, and now 6 minutes later I know. Thanks fam
I gotchu
As an etali player I have had so much fun and surprisingly good results with this deck.
I've been wanting to build Food Chain Etali for cEDH for a while now. The deck looks so fun!
Great video, Etali seems super fun
DINO GO BRRR
Loved this type of video, pls keep making them
Oh yeah, I am building a budget cedh version of Etali, glad to see a video talking about the cEDH potention of this big bad dino
I made an Etali deck for fun. All ramp and a few bombs. Crushes every time.
That sounds really fun and scary 😧
Love the amount of detail and breakdown you go here. Also, who doesn’t love dinosaurs? I haven’t been this happy about a deck breaking into the cEDH meta since I heard about Selvala Brostorm

Thank you!
solid video and to think my playgroup was scoufing a bit at the idea of this commander being cedh viable
That’s what always happens until those decks start winning
@@RebellLily I'm also the type of person who thinks highly of any commander that gives 0 fucks if you remove them from play
@@RebellLily Tivit,Winota, & 5 color Sisay are great examples of this. It just takes time and pilots willing to "show up"
You know, I don't really play cEDH and I may have been tooking at the Entertainer and the Fate god as possible Gruul commanders, but knowing I have a copy of this guy in my Temur Landfall deck and having watched this video has given me ideas.
I don't even play cEDH, and I enjoy these videos.
Great video. Would always love to see more like it. 👍🏻
I drew him, just put him in my new gishath deck!
I think the most interesting line here is food chain combos, I feel like an agressive toolbox esque deck sounds really fun
The way you describe this deck the more it sounds like playing a grappler and I love it
Big beefy Dino gonna push your ass around :3
More videos like this, please!
I got an ad for pocket sand after this video, and I feel like it is fitting.
common Rebell w love the theory vids!!!
Rebell please stop making me want to play all theses sweet cedh decks, I barely started getting in cedh
We’re just getting started
Really enjoy the format and the "no-frills" approach. Or maybe I just enjoyed a video where Thrasios/Tymna didn't get dunked on. 😉
I love my Dino Deck, also Polyraptor has some nice combos :)
I love combat-oriented CEDH so I think I might build this once I get tired of slapping my opponents with Slicer :D
Pretty sure this is a mainly combo deck.
Hmmm. Looks like I'm going to get into cEDH. I've been wanting to get in, but Gruul never felt great. This looks super neat!
agreed but now it's time to go PUNCH
Great video! Enby is a bit uncanny valley for me personally, love this format or would enjoy the real Rebell on!
Thanks for the feedback!
Love Primal Conquerer. Not a cEDH player but this card is fun as hell in my Henzie EDH deck
great video. big dino go brrrr
BIG THANKS
Quick and to the point 👍
Great video! Thanks
I agree on this break down. I feel he could be stringent gruul in cedh
You telling me I 'accidentally' built a commander deck that can, with a few upgrades, could be absolutely competitive?
Maaaan, im tempted.
LETS GO
I'm a simple girl, I see a rebell cedh deck tech, I like. I don't even play the format, but she makes them fascinating.
Very insightful!
Love this format
I play koma edh deck and make tons of tokens to turn it blight steel tokens.
I like your voice about cedh or lgs
I have it on my henzie deck, and its powerful xDD I love both etalis
Nice,i finded only now your video,subbed.
Great Job 👍👍👍
Actually i have a godo , a temur pirates Budget friendly,an eldrazi unbound upgraded and an exit from exile upgraded,the last one despite 35 cards upgraded it s still a 💩💩💩,make all the stuff on the table but never able to win ,i m thinking to convert Exit from exile into this deck,but have to look for a Budget friendly decklist,because my playgroup has almost banned my Godo

cut it for goblin settlers

I made mine with more attack. Like cards that make my Dino’s fight other creatures. Zada also helps take out creatures I don’t like
Great vid!
love to see obscure commanders. what do you think about this vs the divergent transformation versions?
Love your content ❤
Thanks for the support!
Etali also shuts down land decks like gitrog and windgrace because he exiles lands and then casts the spells. The lands never get shuffled back in 😈
Oh that’s mean!!!!
it's...I...My favourite stompy boi has been declared...good?
I have a strat and a reason to include him in high level play?
...oh this'll be next level fun!
THE STOMPY BOI IS STRONG
Great bot!! Dino smash! 🤖💕🦖
Friend picked up Etali as a "fun" deck. The deck is ridiculous. Etali hits the battlefield so much sooner than you think
I've been playing this purposely as mono red. Deck still stomps pretty well. 😂😂
Just had this come up in my recommended. Recognizing that Pantlaza can't one-shot a player by itself, does it add enough with white identity to have similar cEDH possibilities?
Moxfield Link Here!

nice discovery from the cEDH community
Sorry, I'm kind of newish to magic. How does the infinite food chain combo work?
He's in my Henzie deck. Cuz even if I don't flip him nobody wants to deal with a 7/7 Trample Haste that steals their shit. And you bet your ass I got means to recursion or reanimate him coming out of my plumbing.
If you are playing more Blue tables would finding a spot for Guttural Response make sense?
My Brother made Gitrog monster deck, I might need to bring this in for the memes
Dinos vs Frogs who would win
@@RebellLily tale as old as time indeed
Me: The new etali is cedh

Oh thank god, people in other playgroups are playing Slicer.
