Anje vs Sisay vs Selvala vs Lord Windgrace | CEDH Gameplay 

Madness cards are all really responsive.

I don't think Niv is that great at the table tbh. Just not as fast as other options, and anje is pretty fast clearly

Partner was the worst that happened to commander

@@TheSteve_1992 I could not agree more.

Almost escaped a Thoracle win too...

Personally I love partners

"partner with" is what Partner should've been imo

Oh it’s a blast. You can fully play without the fast mana with the right manabase and using ritual creatures like Skirk Prospector

It is, I have a "Budget cedh" Anje Deck too and it is a blast to play

@@felixibeler2723 list ?

Unfortunately I've found that many decks fall into this category, with the main barrier being that fast mana. Best if you can find a table/group/shop that is ok with proxies!

@@semicolon_cancer1243 this. This so much.

Nah, g3 John was slinging banger after banger. He would have definitely either set himself up in such an amazing position or just have won the game so them keeping him off those cards was the right play.

Yeah was gonna say. I would rather just win with Ava Judgement or land loops

Avacyns judgment can be deflecting swatted.

@@PlayingWithPowerMTG if you have 2 cards in hand you can deflecting swat it back, if you have 3 you also have tibalts trickery up. I understand the tech I just don't know how necessary it is.

If you don't cast a madness spell it goes to your GY

Another Colourless land wouldn't have gotten him to Windgrace anyways

@@SMXanathar A tapped land too

Lifelink and better Neoform targets

When you get to 3 mana and then your deck is essentially 50 cards big, Anje is pretty damn consistent. Ryan did have some cracked draws but landing Anje fast enough gets you into a combo state very fast.

Why? The deck is amazing. Even better in non cedh

Was thinking the same thing. Here's the ruling, on the gatherer page for Shadow: If you discard a card with madness but don't cast it, Shadow of the Grave can find it in your graveyard. If you do cast that card, Shadow of the Grave can't find it in your graveyard.

The explanation is that it changes zones. If you discard a madness card, you discard it into exile; then, if it's not cast, it goes to the graveyard. This double zone change should be enough for effects to "lose track" of it, but there's a special rule for this particular case, rule 400.7k: "After resolving a madness triggered ability (see rule 702.35), if the exiled card wasn’t cast and was moved to a public zone, effects referencing the discarded card can find that object." However, if you do cast the card, it moves from exile _to the stack_ (as it is cast from exile), which causes any effect referencing that card to not find it anymore. Since rule 400.7k doesn't cover this case, it's just lost.

@@thomaslunn6601Thank you very good catch and one I'm sure I've missed in the past

No this is Patrick

Worldgorger left the battlefield before its enter the battlefield trigger resolved, so the leave the battlefield trigger resolves first. Everything gets returned to the table, then everything gets exiled because that's the order of Worldgorger's abilities leaving the stack.

@@KuroiRenge I guess I'm just confused about why the abilities wouldn't resolve in order. It left the battlefield before the first trigger resolved, but why wouldn't the second trigger enter the "queue" behind the first trigger?

100% kill on sight

If Deflecting Swat didn't exist, I think it might be the default option.

Ive seen it in person as a strong deck. Won like 4/7 games that night, and was built as 3color gitrog basically.

We cut it and narrate it. There is plenty of table talk at every game.

@@PlayingWithPowerMTG That makes sense! I just wish we got to hear more of it, but I also think the editing makes it very entertaining.

I'll have to disagree. Although she can be very fast, she's also way too easy to interact with. Especially in CEDH. Also takes a certain amount of dumb luck to find the needed pieces, even if you are drawing (potentially) rather quickly through your deck to combo off.

She's the bonafide "aggro" of cedh, I think. REALLY gets fast if unchecked, but if she doesnt win turn 4/5 she runs out of gas and/or gets handled easily

Anje is explosive, but flops very hard to basically any interaction, even a well timed bounce spell will do. For example, for the main line of animate+worldgorger dragon simply responding to the world gorger trigger will leave the anje player with literally nothing but what's left in their hand.

it sucks to play against because it takes foreeeever to resolve the combo

@@morgoth2425its cedh that doesn’t really matter

It has haste.

Lion's Eye Diamond, Mox Diamond, Urza's saga (sneaky enchantment) and Jeweled Lotus equal 4 treasures.

@@semicolon_cancer1243 i forgot dockside counts enchantments

Still pulled more than its weight tonight.

@@PlayingWithPowerMTG not denying that, but should definitely look into the broodlord lines with revolutionist, not to mention of kozalik was replaced with revolutionist (which has madness), you’d still be able to loop alms with him instead. I love seeing her regardless, but there are a lot of passionate anje players who have heavily optimized the deck over the years as we keep getting better cards

This approach gets around Deflecting Swat. You avacyn's Judgment for a million and someone can swat it to yourself. Also, if you have pain lands, like City of Brass, you cannot generate infinite mana. Cards like Alms of the Vein allow you to gain life to circumvent this issue.

Yes, but doing spell loops is a lot safer in case of Swat/Misdirection

If I'm missing something, please let me know.

Even if it is you could shuffle your deck back in and just not cast it that loop

​@@TheSpiritombsableye He can order his triggers. If he discard kozilec before alms He can put kozilecs shuffle Trigger first on the stack and anje untapp on top. Still in Response to schuffle Titan Tap anje and dig to Alms.
