How to Build Chulane, Teller of Tales | Casually Competitive Crafts 

Let us know what you thought about the amount of information in this video. We wanted to keep it brief and focused on the essentials - but let us know what you would like to see in terms of the amount of information in the future!

Now this is a series i can't wait to see more of

This series has to be a thing on your channel. Explain cEDH commander and a roadmap for the build.

Aside from commanders quarters this is the best deck tech type of video out there.

This is great as a starter, and I love the "should you keep" section.

I love that you have examples of opening hands in this series! Lots of other deck tech online only have recommendations on the cards to put in the deck, but no real game play advice on how to pilot the deck well for first-timers. Keep doing this, please!

That was literally one of the best deck techs I've ever seen, seriously!! It went straight to the point in the core cards that make the deck function and left the rest of the 99 space for creative individual customization! Really good stuff! And no filler.

“Say the line, Casually Competitive.” “Sigh...Chewlane.” “YAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!”

I like Walking Ballista for Chulane, it's easy to tutor, is a win condition when infinite, can start Chulane chains as a 0 cmc creature in a pinch and rarely feels like a dead card in hand. Awesome video, looking forward to more in this series!

The “Curio + Aluren” combo you described works without Aluren in play to draw you deck, since Curio can bounce lands

To be honest this video is really helpful. The way you broke down the combos and what hand to keep is good. I actually built this deck recently and I’m going to have to take a second look at it. Thank you keep up the great work.

Perfectly timed, I was thinking about doing a casual Chulane just using the commander as a card draw/ramp engine, No infinite combos

please continue this series. its very helpful for newer players to understand deckbuilding and for people who are looking for a new deck to make. keep up the good work!

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for correcting your pronunciation. Please continue to say it this way

Phenomenal. I absolutely loved the sample hand section, really gives you some insight on how the deck operates in the moment

I like the example hands a lot, I’ve been having a difficult time determing what exactly I should be keeping/mulliganing for when starting out. Loved the video! Def want to see more tecs

I absolutely love the opening hand segment. I think this is something so important that not enough people talk about in depth. One of my biggest level up moments was learning how to mulligan properly and when to aggressively mulligan. Opening hand decisions can make or break a game for you sometimes and so it is very important to be able to make the decisions well. Thanks for the dope video!

It would be cool to see an animar, soul of elements video like this one. Also you definitely need to keep this series up, it's awesome!!!

Really liked the video and seeing what you can do and how to build with it. Seeing the infinate combo possiblities is intriguing. Most of the time I can't make any oficial play events, or store events due to my work scheduale, and the group of friends I play with, we decided not to use infinate comboes in any of our decks. Would be interesting to see possible builds with this commander, and others, that don't use infinate combos, but still keep them competative. Friend of mine introduced me to your chanel a while back, and I have enjoyed videos. You gouys are great. Thanks for what your doing.

Chulane is such a fun commander. I made a merfolk tribal deck with him, and it’s such great to play. Love the deck techs!

this series is so promising. Invaluable for understanding some different approaches to this commander. I really like how Jospeh does an amazing job of not just reading part of a list but talking about the thoery, which makes it so you can learn and build a different deck or find your own cards that fill some of the same slots if you're working on more of a budget. Very quality content.

So happy I found this channel. You speak clear and concisely. Not a slave to sponsors (yet??), and upload on a decent basis. Keep it up, lads!

Love the gameplay on this channel, but mini primers? YES! Please do Alela next, finish the brawl cycle!!!! (At least the competitive ones)

Love the video and your channel in general! One combo I didn’t see mentioned was earthcraft+shrieking drake + a basic island = infinite chulane triggers as well. Earthcraft is just great value as well and turns all your creatures into hastey mana dorks

YES!! I love this video! It’s short sweet and to the point. If lays a very solid groundwork for the deck and most if not all of its strategies in a clear and effective way! I love it and would love even more of these videos, perhaps maybe explaining blood pod or a variant of blood pod?

I love this style! I've started trying to brew my own semi-competitive decks and the explanation as to why everything is in the deck is exactly what I needed. Also the explanations on opening hands was super helpful.

So I'm here debating whether to build chulane or wait for the new pre-cons and you guys come out with this fantastic video. I already have a list for my mana base that's how close I was to deciding to build chulane.

I'm glad to see this tech video not going down the Labman route to win, and I was considering upgrading the precon Chulane Brawl deck I have into an EDH deck, so I appreciate it. :)

This was awesome!! If possible I'd really like to see a breakdown of korvold .

Thank you so much for the video. This was absolutely brilliant and well done. It was the perfect amount of information and I loved the hand analysis too that was so helpful. I also really appreciated your previous videos about the combos and how to stop them, those were both astonishingly well done. Take care!

Simple and very helpful. Keep them coming !

Oh sweet Jesus, I'm so stoked about this series! Can't wait to see where y'all take it.

Fantastic video! I love the opening hand analysis, really fantastic job, I would love to see more video like this, on different commander, like Anje for example. I also love the analysis on cards which seem good for the deck but don't really belong (the Thassa discusssion part), more of that would be really helpful.

Good shit my dudes. More of this kind of thing please

Fun vid. I'm working on a combo persistent petitioner deck so this helped. Never knew about that village bell ringer. So that with alluren will def help me combo faster!

I like this a lot, I find deckbuilding for cedh very interesting and I would like to learn more about the format, plus it'll be interesting to see what is good besides Flash Hulk.

This is fantastic this channel is all the things i love about commander content

You could also go for the Food Chain route with Chulane. Although it's a bit more glass cannon than the Aluren/Curio build you got going on. But it's also super fun to play and it works surprisingly well. Manipulate Fate and Foresight are really good tutors and BANT also has alright access to tutoring Food Chain as well. You can run Riftsweeper, Nox Rev and Regrowth as back up if your Food Chain gets taken away.

Please do Urza in the future! I know it's fairly straightforward, one sided stax until you get infinite mana and win via Thassa's oracle but I have SO much trouble with opening hands and some general strategies and I'd love to see a video with that!

Found y'all via Mitch at Commander's Quarters. Keep up the awesome work!

I will religiously watch this series

I really loved this episode and will be using it to tune up my chulane deck!

Awesome series, would love to see more casually competitive deck techs. Scarab God would be a great build to see.

This is fantastic. Please keep this up.

awesome format ! sweet and short

+1 for tasigur control!

I really like the concept of this, it makes a lot of sense. I would love to see one for some good value commanders as well, including maybe tatyova, kess, and yarok. Can’t wait for more 😊

Love this content! I would vote for more videos :)

Super enjoyed this. Looking forward to seeing more commanders.

This was great, I'm just starting to watch more competitive and semi competitive videos. I'd be really interested to see a blood/blue pod and a derevi, empyrical tactition deck tech.

i would love a video about either Kykar or Urza, great work

Amazing work, really fresh and dynamic. Make this a thing, please.

Cool stuff! Love that the video focuses on the intentions of the deck and not on "mandatory" cards! (Well, apart from combo pieces XD)

Really enjoyed this. No feedback other than to say please keep making these. Out of curiosity, how long did this take to make compared to your usual gameplay videos?

Can we have next a video on how to consider which removal/counter spell is good for a deck?

I've had this deck built for a while now, and my deck has about 20 different ways to combo with all synergistic cards that dont cut down on your good or bad draws. Basically, there are 100 different ways to combo with Chulane

This was a very entertaining video and I love watching this channel, keep up the good work :)

Pleaaasse do more of these! They are so much better than being given a cookie cutter deck.

Please keep doing episodes like this !

This is great! I cant wait for more like this!

Just started to play this game, this is my first Commander. I've been building a tribal melfork with this oldman:^)

Love this series!!

I wouldve liked to see you break down the food chain chulane option also

Thassas Oracle isnt necessarily a "dead" card, she does have an etb and can be bounced by Chulane to recast if needed for the win

Now this is a series I would watch 10/10 Do Xenagos or Ruric Thar next! pleaaasee!

I like these videos. Maybe doing short ones on cards like staff of domination and scroll rack. Maybe even some land destruction. I see people using these efdects but not really knowing why to have them in the deck.

Keep these vids coming 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

About the pronounciation, I'm pretty sure Chulane's name comes from Cuchulainn, a character from irish mythology, and thus should follow the gaelic pronounciation of that name. I'm no expert on gaelic, so idk if that's what you already did with your pronounciation, just saying for anyone interested.

This is awesome! More deck techs please ! emry next?

Been dying for you to do a vid like this!

Video was a pretty good primer for chulane, I have the deck built myself already and had a few questions. 1. Why prowling serpopard over destiny spinner? Destiny spinner is two 2cmc instead of 3, also protects enchantments , and can be an infinite mana outlet. 2. I see a lot of lists that include smothering tithe, but it seems like a dead card in the deck a good portion of the time. The main problem being its 4 mana and doesn’t help you go infinite or help draw into a wincon.

Great vid guys, good build, carpet of flowers can be handy in the deck I have found and at 8.27 you include a red card, pyroclasam, dont think you are going to be casting that in a Chulane deck.

Dope video please make more! Very helpful!

Loved it, more pleaseeeee

This was awesome. 👍

I loved the deck tech. Maybe Edric or Chainer Dementia master?

WICKED helpful. Thanks!

This is def a great idea for future videos. It helps teach new CEDH players (like myself) and it is very interesting. Think you can do one on that midrange green deck you guys played with tymna and thrasios?

This is a great series!

Can't wait for next videos

I absolutely loved this

I absolutely love this. New sub!

This was a good episode!

This was awesome

It's kinda nice to see a competitive deck with Blue/Green that doesn't run Flash or Lab Man.

Perhaps this would take running more basic lands then you would normally wish to, but I can't help but feel earthcraft is another option for the deck. With drake, it works similer to the mana breach combo, except instead of returning the land to hand, you just keep tapping/untapping. It makes your mana dorks tap for mana the turn they come out, if you don't have crossroads out. You net mana with intruder alarm out. Heck, when the worst thing I can say about earthcraft is the potential to run squirrel craft combo in the deck, that's fine. And while I would never consider squirrel craft combo viable for CEDH, it lets you draw out with Beck.(I use both Beck and glimpse of nature as redundancy for chulanes draw effect. Perfect options? No. But always useful cards for digging deeper)

Amazing video

Sidisi Brood Tyrant!

Chulane could be replaced with a 5 mana sorcery that says "Starting with the player to your left, each opponent plays a removal spell if able"

One suggestion: before making these commander introductory videos, make a commander tier list walk down by colors and styles. So people know which commander suits their preference of style and/or color. This way, any future video similar to this Chulane video is easily referenced. For example, if I want to play Bant with a adaptive style, I can choose Chulane, which would lead me to this video.

Love this. Now korvold lands lol

This was a really good watch. I hope you continue to make these videos. Krenko, Mob Boss next pleeease.

Fantastic deck I've been wanting to build this but...I feel it's a bit to strong for my play group. Also I will say it again, get some merch!

Hey mate, love these more casual edh but remains competitive via creatures

Walking Balista and Thassa's Oracle should really be played! It's okay to have one dead card in the deck. Walking Balista can also be played for 0 to trigger Chulane.

I was wondering where they got that screen shot from to post in the chulane discord. Btw the hand with sol ring is one you should not Mulligan because it can turn 3 chulane by playing the birds Paradise first into Sol ring and the avacyn's pilgrim it's a bit fragile if you don't top-deck a land

Nice deck I wish I had like 700 to drop on it lol ive always wanted cedh decks but 600 plus is a lot to drop al at once lol But love the deck tec 😄

Good stuff

Gating creatures such as shrieking drake, whitemane lion and fleetfoot panther can do the same thing w/o curio. although curio can generate more value.

If having enough mana dorks is a key element, just add a Cryptolith Rite and BOOM! all your creatures are mana dorks ;)
