Picking Your Deck | Learning cEDH - Episode 9 

What deck did you start cEDH with? Let me know down below! And consider supporting the channel by grabbing some sick merch in the description!

15:57 This is golden advice for getting to the top at anything in life. If someone has fun doing their own thing and finding everything out for themselves, that's totally valid. It's just not how you become the best at anything. In most endeavours, there are too many options for a single human to pursue and try out. Better to absorb the knowledge that is easily available and already there and then develop that further yourself.

Great video guys! I learn so much form your content :) As you know i did built a stax list for my first CEDH deck lol (Tymna & Tevesh) and played it with you. Even though i wasn't sure what a when to play in my first game i loved it so much and had super fun playing it. I have a Yuriko commander deck so i may well adjust that a bit to be cedh. Also Kinnan does interest me now too.

This has a lot of good tips. Thanks for making content and being willing to teach.

I would like to see some deck guides again

Excellent video homies, love these sort of conversations

i literally said "theres over 20,000 cards but about 500 good ones" to someone earlier when they asked me how many magic cards there were and then i hear you guys say it lol

Absolutely solid advice. You guys have earned a subscriber

Excellent video. Never disappointed in the merch.

I am really starting to enjoy your content, keep it up.

I have not played CEDH for a long time and getting into it was very interesting and it satisfied a different style of playing the game for me. Funny enough my first deck is a stax deck w/ shalai and Hallar. Stax really takes a different thought process with playing the game, you need to know what’s good stax pieces are good for your deck and how/when to play those pieces over others. Since mine is a combo stax deck it also plays partially to protecting my combo while making people play at the pace I want them too. I agree that recommending stax to a new player is not one I would do either and it’s really required someone who is patient and understands that sometimes a stax piece is better left in your hand than playing it out in order to leave up instant speed interaction or to allow other players the ability to still be able to stop the player who is more than likely going to win on their next turn.

Just started playing and building a yarok deck. My play style in other games has always been to have multiple ways to win and have outs. So far, yarok seems like the best for that.

Cedh got more interaction. On casual tables everyone is out of control with huge boards because that prioritize their 23 piece combo or value machine. Cedh is way more streamlined and efficient.

I'm new to Commander and have been creeping towards cEDH but not there yet. I don't have any of the speedy Mox cards or expensive dual lands. I'd love to see a video that defines the different kinds of decks. I don't even know the names but you mentioned a "storm deck". Stax deck. What are the others and what are they by definition? Or is there already a video that discusses that? Love the content by the way. My two favorite decks I have at the moment are my Heliod and The Locust God. Neither are at cEDH yet.

I just got 22nd out of 64 in a cedh tournament with my casual deck tweaked… 1-2-2… but I over performed compared to that. I wasn’t there to win. I was there to learn. I’ve just tweaked 7 cards and going to the next one expecting top 16

There is a 4th reason on why one would look into cEDH, and that is they love the puzzle aspect of it as no two games are ever the same and if ya really wanted build a deck to it with restrictions other than Stax. Sounds redundant i know but some people just love the challenging puzzle aspect of it, such as me i like trying to take bad or unusual commander's that usually can't go above a 8 on a casual scale and take them higher to competitive level without building them as a stax deck if i can, as any commander can be competitive if you put them into a stax deck However i warn you taking a non competitive commander and using them as a stax commander is harder than regular competitive stax deck which everyone already knows stax and control are the hardest to do in cEDH Though a funny thing to not mistake is if the Pilot is better than the deck making the deck look way better than it actually is, hard to distinguish honestly as a good player can make just about any deck look broken or good

Just love your content, Matthew! #bearlove

Jhoria, Weatherlight Captain for a first cEDH deck? Its my first (still missing LED and Mox Diamond unfortunately) but it plays nice and pretty fun.

think I might pick up nymris as my first cedh list just looking at the deck list makes all the happy brain chemicals fire off xD

*patiently waiting for k’rrik gear*

I play dimir rogues for casual plays, and i love the tempo of swinging in with small creatures drawing alot of cards. would like to take that thought into cedh, i guess maybe yuriko is for me then? The problem for me with having blue in my first cedh deck is i dont know how to interact with the board, all these combo lines like breach,docksides loops etc. any thoughts?

Just to come back on something. You said about people shuffling and things being a little more unique that way. I feel that on arena it may be a little nicer because there's less cheating and I don't play arena just saying though

Hey I'm pretty sure I played in a tournament a while ago with you in nc for a mox diamond

Play to win shoutout (: nice

Do you think playing a deck that isn't getting good tournament results will result in less fun/lack of room to improve?

My first "cedh" deck Lavinia, azorius renegade, and it was horrible. But, just a low-key request, can we get a hot as fuck esper t-shirt? Maybe like a control graphic or something?

love the info you all provide. very informative and well spoken unsolicited constructive criticism: the mid-sentence edits are a bit too much. like too twitchy and unnecessary imo

The only rule: Have lots of expendable money.

Don’t play cedh. Play edh or go do 60 card with the other try hards.
