That being said, if you don’t dump the extra mana into it green suns is a slightly better deal, as all you get for the other mana is more variety and recursion.

    "Cedh is just ten" not shure to understand, english is not my native lsnguage. You mean 11-15 doesnt even fit in CEDH? Just want to know if it's what you mean, trying to improuve my english I try to understand more than words and basic sentence, I want to be able to undetstand more complexe sentence, the meaning of sentences that doesnt say clearly things but let us interprete it. So my question is not about 11-15 being not good enought for CEDH, my question is more like did you mean "11-15 is already not good enough" like if you play cedh 1 to 10, don't go further.. as a way to say " even 10 is not really good enought.. pick the 5,6,7 first.. don't go until 13-14 like the end part of the list doesnt reach cedh power level.. in brief is it what you wanted to say? Or did you really wanted to say that the, specific cards from 11 to 15 aren,t ( specificaly) good enough for cedh. Or even meaning something else..

      They mean by power level, as how strong something is from 1 to 10
