Well said! More people should understand cEDH beyond the preconceptions many people have.

Cedh reminds me of old school meta yugioh where decks are so full of reactive and interactive effects and depend on limiting your opponents and combo wins

cEDH beginner guide: proxy, never don't proxy. The hundreds of dollars you will spend in the after market buying singles will only ever trickle back to WoTC. Play sealed, buy proxies.

An excellent introductory resource. Love this!

Not really sure why I watched this, as I actually keep up with cedh content regularly, but just dropped by to say this is a wonderful video! I haven't delved directly into cedh yet myself, but I take a similar approach to the format when building my decks. My closest being a wheel and deal-lite take on Blue Farm. Midrange is by far my favorite archetype, though Winota Stax sounds up my alley too.

This has actually been a super rad channel really digging your delivery and subject space hope you make it far friend wanna see more content like the last batch of videos!

Just a note to players, decks don't have to fully fall into only one the catagories of turbo, midrange and staxx. As said in the video about dockside extortionist being ran in all the architypes, the same can apply for many cards as long as they inherrently are able to work well with your deck, even turbo decks may run staxx cards as a way to put opppnents in an awkward position so the turbo deck user may wait for the other players to be unable to properly respond to their combo. The inverse also applies as staxx decks may run faster threats to punish players who start spending too much resources trying to prepare for a longer game by building their board to become more resiliant. Even midrange may not actually do much from a board perspective but instead rely on playing cards that are not worth it for opponents to stop from being played, this is also a fundamental trait many decks like as by playing a bunch of cards that further your game plan but are not actually worth your opponents time and resources to remove that means they will have more removal for eachother and you will get to save your counterspells because you will not often need to use them trying to defend your own stuff. A very inportant tip for new players that applies to all architypes that I see many people fall victum to no knowing is that your deck needs to both be helped by your commander but not rely upon your commander because if your deck cannot function without your commander then someone will simply just stop you from casting them and cause you to flounder, don't let that happen and always try to make sure cards have impact in as many situations as possible. Another set of tips for politics in the format: never help another player when collaborating, instead simply offer to tear down another player as "help" and never do so to a point that the player you are helping can use it to win, keep in mind players can also lie. And a tip for those willing to play very cruel: do not hesitate to threaten to cause someone else to win or lose if someone would do something that causes you to lose ,since the goal in cedh is to win and you are going to lose because somebody is going to do something that will cause you to lose then there is no reason to not threaten to cause them to also lose as a form of defense because this means that it becomes not worth ot for other players to do something if you will legitmately insure they lose, this works even if your winning as suddenly despite all other players wanting to prevent you from winning, none of them will want to do it themselves because they fear you taking them out with you, this causes very awkward hesitation from the other three players as they pass priority around knowing somebody has got to give but not wanting to be the one who does in a sort game of chicken.

This is a really detailed and thorough guide! I started testing my deck (Kinnan) out on Cockatrice, and this video was what got me inspired to play cEDH! Thank you so much for all of the work put into this and other videos of yours, you're truly epic.

This is a very good and clear explanation of cedh for beginners. Thank you very much :)

Good content for beginners & even refreshing for seasonal cEDH veterans

Great video, I'll send it around.

This is a BALLER video. Thanks for the work :)

Never played EDH much at a before I started CEDH about two months ago, and going to every tournament I can make. So I had to learn what meta was. Went to a charity tournament this past weekend made top 16 by sheer luck and actually got in the top 4 game and placed 2nd. Went for the win too fast, which I blame my lack of experience. My commander was Yarok. I was pretty much ignored bc of my experience (players knew i was new to the scene) and commander. I eventually got too much of an advantage and got some lucky starting hands. Im just proud of myself b/c I can feel myself improving in competitive magic. I never thought I would play more than limited formats.

I always begin explaining cedh as edh with a different mindset.

Thanks buddy, this was a great video and just subbed. For someone like me who's looking to getting into CEDH. Other than using a proxy is there any budget options for all the mox's in decks while still keeping the deck competitive? Or any other lists without them?

are there no creature win cons. im a huge tribal player with some strong color cards. I might stick with regular commander

Great video can we get videos on how to make a unique decks what do we need as a base for a deck any help or ideas would help tons getting crushed at my lgs they are all quite good lol

How do you not bring up Kenrith or Urza though!!!

Ilove this video thank you, but the brech / lion s eye / brain freeze combo, i dont get it, do someone mind explaining me step by step please ? sorry for my slowass brain

Tysm, I'll introduce my commander group to the format

Is there an online simulator for magic?

I believe in Gitrog supremacy

Cedh its a concept, many people think cedh is oracle + consult combo, while in reality there are many type of cedh. The fact that traditional cedh deck didnt win the 1st place in last 3-4 cedh tournaments says it all. Also how dare you didnt mention Tymna and Thrasios 😂😂😂😂 While TnT lost its popularity against TnK, its still one of the best traditional cedh deck....

Both sad and happy to see Kodashima (Kodama of the East Tree & Sakashima) go unmentioned here. Very capable of going turbo while completely avoiding STAX effects, running over midrange decks in the process. Sad it isn’t more well-respected, happy it’s still a sleeper hitter.

Dear cedh, thank you so much for taking all of the fun out of my favorite fomat. I used to think that Commander was a casual format where everyone could have fun. Not anymore. Go take your competitive attitudes to Modern her Legacy and leave my favorite format alone.

I'm not ever gunna be good enough for cedh. It just doesn't fit my style of play

Isn't cEDH basically "Play Thoracle Consultation or don't bother?"
