Keep up with the uploads! Would be really appreciated if your episodes has visuals like your "How to play [this commander]" episodes. Other than that, would love to see a How to play Thrasios Tymna soon!
@Kean Coria thank you! Would like to do it, but the time investment to really edit these might be a bit much haha. Those are coming back next week, and some of these may be more edited than others.
Cedh is a beautiful part of commander. You can be completely new and come into it with a fresh mind. I had 2 good friends get into it in 2021 and they never touched a TCG before. They're still playing and have become great players. They loved that cedh doesn't hold back compared to casual edh.
I would love to have an episode towards building the cedh collection. Currently I am in the middle of this phase, lots of reprints and I am also collecting lands. Organizing into the lands, ramp/rituals, interaction, combo.
@@chrisjamieson7620 Not (only) this, but more something like general advices and examples of smart building of collection. My stand is this: collect shocks, fetches and some other good lands, universal mana rocks, tutors and answers / stax. Rules: buy more expensive, but must be universal (like Vampiric Tutor), not niche or too strategy specific or color locked (for example Humility). Buy cards even in poor condition, but foreign language cards are only notorically known cards or lands.
Fantastic video for this new mtg player! I’ve been binging your videos and have been loving them. Is there any chance The Beamtown Bullies could be played cedh? A video on it would be amazing!
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying them and there's plenty more coming! I'm not really sure, they definitely do something interesting but finding the right balance of enablers for them could be tricky. Probably something worth testing for at least a fringe deck that could get some wins.
Glad to have you! I'd recommend checking this video out if you haven't, it goes over playing online and getting started in general: ruclips.net/video/DACIsEs39pE/видео.html
I really want to get back to the cEDH action but on the budget side, since I'm still trying to get back to the game. Any commanders you can recommend? Formerly played tymna sidar kondo hulk combo
First recommendation is to proxy. I don't ever recommend buying Magic cards for cEDH when the whole community is proxy friendly. Beyond that, if you wanted to keep playing a hulk deck, Tymna/Halana has done pretty well and looks cool to me. Tymna/Kraum Blue Farm is the deck that's currently HUGELY outperforming everything else in tournament results if that's what you care about.
@@LemorasCards I was building a tymna/kraum before the pandemic hits but I had to sell all my cards, so now I'm slowly tipping my toes back into the waters. Now I'm looking into more budgeted version of the decks I use to run and try starting from there.
The turn the game ends on usually doesn't matter as much as what leads up to it. I've played long games where everyone takes tons of game actions and pushes for wins and stops each other that end on turn 3 or 4.
If you're already playing Commander, cEDH is the exact same ruleset, so the differences it has with canlander are already pretty big. You get to play with four players, use a commander, and use a simple ruleset for building decks that everyone already knows since you're playing Magics most popular format. I don't know much about the Meta of Canadian Highlander, but if you want to play super powerful magic in a multiplayer setting, cEDH is where it's at.
@@LemorasCards Thats totally fair, I've never been able to square the competitive aspects and the multiplayer aspects in my head for CEDH but I still love singelton magic. I think I'll stick to Highlander for now
Not gonna lie i absolutely don't see this at all in the format. It legitimately feels like looking into a portal into an alternate world. It could just be my area but every person who plays at that level generally don't have that casual spirit at all. They take the whole thing way too seriously and suck all the fun out of it. One guy i know is borderline and it's absolutely miserable to play with him.
I love people who play korvold. It’s like they are at a disadvantage before every game starts. I doubt anyone playing korvold is a better magic player than most people I know lmfao.
Pretty interesting to think someone is less skilled because they pilot what you think to be a bad deck. That's a new one for me. I'm sure we could set up some kind of multi-format grudge match between you two if you wanted!
@@LemorasCards oh lord I would love that. Korvold isn’t a good build by definition of its own ability. At best korvold can be built as a “good tier 2 deck” I would honestly say korvold can’t even be a true cedh build. Korvold is like the line that separates pretty strong decklists and truly competitive deck lists. It’s the gatekeeper to true cedh. It’s not on the cedh side of the gate though, it’s definitively on the “pretty strong” side of the gate.
@@LemorasCards once you get into cedh there are certain qualifiers you can’t disregard. The fact korvold wants you to sacrifice your own permanents is a pretty big deficit in a lot of ways. Nobody should want to have to sacrifice their permanents to gain draw 1 card. Especially on a 5 drop with 3 different color pips. It’s a joke that people think korvold can be competitive with its pregame deficit. A literal joke. My kodama of the west tree deck is way more competitive than korvold could ever dream of being and my kodama deck isn’t competitive. But I can play kodama t1 a variety of ways. How are you playing korvold t1 again? A miracle literally 1/1,000,000,000 games? Just the fact that my kodama comes down t1-2 consistently is enough to outpace the shitty shell that is korvold.
@@mtgtinfoilthaumaturge1102 I wasn't aware I was talking to someone who didn't have a basic knowledge of how the deck worked, I have a Learn to Play that can help you with that. Other than that, have a nice day.
@@LemorasCards lmfao I understand how the deck works. I also understand that the turn you are playing korvold my rograhk and thrasios deck is making 20+ mana. I also know cards like lifeforce and douse exist. Both of which are in my rograhk and thrasios deck. Good luck winning with korvold through those lmfao.

Id be on board with this! Top 10 must haves if each color that fit in multiple decks and why

Fantastic video, super in depth, and awesome channel man! Can’t wait to see more!
Thank you! Plenty more coming!
I recently got into cedh myself. I'm running K'rrik myself. Definitely a fun deck.
Totally thought that spot on green background guy's mic was something on my screen for a moment!

Hey, I've been wanting to learn cedh as of late, is there a way i can consistently play as my friends dont like the idea of cedh.
Glad to have you! I'd recommend checking this video out if you haven't, it goes over playing online and getting started in general: ruclips.net/video/DACIsEs39pE/видео.html

Is still fun if You win in turn 3? Doens't ir feel just like horse racing
The turn the game ends on usually doesn't matter as much as what leads up to it. I've played long games where everyone takes tons of game actions and pushes for wins and stops each other that end on turn 3 or 4.
Begining of turn 3 is already 9 turns of magic, which means there could have been around 30 spells cast by then. Thats a lot of magic being played.
What’s the appeal of Cedh over competitive formats like Canadian Highlander?
If you're already playing Commander, cEDH is the exact same ruleset, so the differences it has with canlander are already pretty big.

The main reason edh players dont wanna go full Cedh is money! 😅
cEDH is incredibly proxy friendly though!
