Күн бұрын

Today I'm taking a look at Cowtown Throwdown, the biggest in-person cEDH tournament EVER. This 256-player Commander tournament featured $12,000 in prizes and nearly all of the most skilled players in the format battling it out. We're really starting to see the impact of MH3 and the meta adjustments made from it, and get a good idea of what decks are best positioned going into the Topdeck Invitational. The decks featured in the top 16 are Sisay, Nadu, Rog/Si, Tymna/Jeska, Erinis/Street Urchin, Tymna/Kraum, Malcolm/Vial, and Tymna/Dargo.
Let me know which of these decks was your favorite in the comments below!

Always so insightful! I'm a modern/ standard player for the most part, but I admire your card analysis and strategy perspective and I feel that you're thoughts on synergy often help me brew or evaluate cards in my own sphere. Thanks so much for all your content and sorry you weren't feeling 100% over the event.

Awesome event! I still enjoy tivet (I’ve had good results against every deck in this tourney) and I built mine to my style. I have copy artifact in my decks all year before i got popular lol. Did the same original brew with Kinnan, amd magda. Almost done with my temur dargo/thrass brew. 🙌🏻 I despise blue farm so from this list, I’ll choose Erinis red and green is my fave here

So I run abdel and hoarding broodlord as my win lines in tymna Malcolm, and I think the mardu list should add buried alive. Put Abdel and hoarding into the graveyard with buried alive and animate dead Abdel infinitely into the last trigger reanimating brood. Use him to look for 1 of the other two enchantment reanimates, to reanimate Abdel again flickering hoarding infinitely, but really you only need him one more time to tutor bowmaster. So in conclusion, they should run buried alive. It’s a two card 5 mana combo which isn’t the worst to ask.

The problem with magic tournaments at cons is the increased cost, and the inability to participate in the con, if you are doing well in your tournament.

I don't get why all these Tnk lists run fellwar stone, isn't another talisman more consistent for example? Great tournament report, Ian almost won another one ! I'll definitely have to try these steal/copy enchantment shenanigans aswell as necropotence

@LemorasCards 2 күн бұрын

@thomasantoine6194 thank ya! I think it just tends to give them access to the most colors. Like Exotic Orchard it mainly has some tension turn 1 but most pods it should do you better than a 2c talisman.

Thanks for your insight, I was also wondering about orchard what you were thinking so you read my mind😂👍🏻

Honestly? A bit disappointed. Just more of the same. Ufarm, Sisay, Rogsi and now a couple of nadu dumbasses (replacing Kinnans, which is still the better simic deck of the two imho, if people end up respecting nadu properly). I hoped MH3 would even the scales a bit, but despite the fact ufarm didn't get anything relevant, and other decks did, it's still dominating. Ah well. Best thing about the event: Kizzet breaking ankles with the rogue brew! Great to see, but also not too many delusional clones even attempt playing it, because that'd be disastrous :P But honestly, I don't think they will after a couple of rounds of testing.

@LemorasCards 3 күн бұрын

@igiwarcraft yeah these super competitive platinum events tend to have people playing pretty safe with the best established stuff. Fortunately, I've got some cooler stuff coming up next. I still think it'll be a bit before things settle post MH3, and it'll take a lot to get people to not play TnK even if it's shown to not be the best deck with stats.

Wish the cap was higher. I live in Ohio and there were 15 people here locally that couldn’t go and we are a smaller community. Would have easily made it to 512.

@pokedadsam9041 oh yeah definitely demand for bigger events, I'm sure they just want to make sure they can support those numbers properly. Will probably require more rounds at that point too.

Swiss scoring has invalidated the supposed “best players”. Fishbowl left a bad impression. I watched the “best players” wince and cower to decks that “weren’t cEDH”. Play to not lose is how they play in the US. Playing to win is how they play in Europe and Japan.

I'll have to be mindful of it, though this series kinda relies on visuals, so I don't know if videos will ever be fully accessible through pure audio, especially if I just kinda goof while recording.
