I’ve been playing competitive(with friends) for about 4 years and just recently found your content. Really appreciate everything you’ve put out. Been watching it nonstop lately. Super informative. Thank you!
Mr Lamora; That’s the look my dude. Facial hair looks good. Hair looks on point. I am running late for work and felt like I had to put this comment on here. The girls are gonna dig that look. If it’s just a moment in time I suggest pausing it. Looking great.🖖
There's always room for more decks...like ny boy Goaddock Teeg! Honesty I've been pushing both my Zaxara deck and my Queza deck as well. I'm always using off meta decks ❤❤❤
I'll say that I have my first tourney ever in a month and I've already learned alot from your channel in the last week that it's insane! And I'll be continuing to using this Channel for references when needed. Thank you!
@LemorasCards thank you! I wanna play an oswald uba deck with a myr welder finish but from the sounds of this video it sounds like stax is a bad play for the meta these days. Do you think a B tier commander can win a big tourney? Not this tourney specifically
@astrowerm well I did cover an Oswald that won a big Chinese event, though it wasn't really a stax list. I think stax could take down a bigger event. It just takes the right meta some good piloting and a little luck. B tier or even lower commanders still fairly regularly have good runs at big events, they just don't consistently perform at that level.
Love seeing Eric make it with korvold. Do we know of any Magda, Krark, or other less popular decks/pilots making it? We need more deck diversity in cedh
I'm really doubtful of Necrodominance in Rogsi though, I have yet to use it successfully... The "only in the end step" activation + max hand size 5 + direct exile of cards played makes it really hard to pull a win out of it, especially at a fast pace. Are you aware of a scenario this card is really beneficial ? As a side note, I'm a big fan of leyline of anticipation in Rogsi since I've seen it come up on your channel
How do you guys feel about Talion? Is it going to do better or worse or the same in Sept. What is making it be in the #11 to #20 instead of top 10? What can push it into top 5 or 10. I look forward to your opinion. Thank you.
It seems like most people are opting for the higher card quality of decks like TnK over the better commander in the zone, and it's hard to blame them. It's probably even more punished by decks like Sisay since it's going to be slower to push a win in those pods, and its interaction might not line up. I'm not sure that a heavy control shell in general is favored, but in some pods where you can stop the fast deck and grind cards you can still pull out ahead of other midrange options. It's a little hard to say what it needs to pull ahead, maybe just lacking players who believe in it more than the top 4 decks right now.
Matthew what are the best online resources for finding cedh tournaments near where you live? Me and my friends started playing a few months ago and want to start going to some tournaments but don’t know where to start when it comes to finding them!!
I'm pretty new to cEDH and I'm loving Korvold and trying to make my own deck, is there somewhere I could see your list for a comparison and inspiration?
If you are new to cedh and a deck in general, my best advice is not to tinker with the decklist for a bit. Until you understand the card selection, then adjust for the meta.
@@daltondee5666 it's had some really good performances, I think it definitely could still be a good option it just doesn't have a ton of pilots behind it.
@@LemorasCardsthank you for the reply! I honestly think the deck is underrated and with the prodigy and maybe some floodcaller stuff it can really pop off. I’d love to see a new list put out by you guys!
It would be interesting to have TopDeck create a cEDH ban-list for the next season. Currently, no one adds cards to the ban-list to promote format diversity in cEDH.
Nadu was just released, TK is a more recent norm (like the last year or so I think), Rog Si is a pretty recent resurgence from Necodominance, and Sisay has also been a lot more popular recently. Not actually sure why Sisay has seen such an uptick.
Everyones meta is different. We just had a 52 player tourney and our top 4 was sisay najeela krarksi and kinnan. Personally im getting to where i dont want to play anymore. They keep printing more and more busted cedh cards with no bans to balance out the more and more broken cards coming down the pipe. We cant even play the full scope of archetypes. Its only turbo and midrange. And now if you cant win by turn 3 then you have no chance. Need a big shakeup to reset some things.
How about ban nothing and this is the healthiest the meta has been in years. Finally there's like thassa breach, dockside abusers, hullbreaker, food chain all playable at the top level. It's a good time not to get stomped by only flash hulk or the najeela reign. We have a format that has multiple avenues of playstyles which is fucking awesome to see commander's having a more whole deck identity now.

Wish that the invitational playmat looked cooler tbh. Would love to get all my pods signed on it and commentators too!
@@alanoftheinfinite I actually liked it better than most of the ones they've done.
@@LemorasCards whatever I end up bringing, can I have a celebrity signature on it?
@@alanoftheinfinite 10000%
Thanks for all the work you put into growing the format Lemora🙏🏻 I really hope it will hit France as much as it seems to be impacting USA
Thank you! I hope so! Gotta just do your best to spread it where you can.
Love seeing Eric make it with korvold. Do we know of any Magda, Krark, or other less popular decks/pilots making it? We need more deck diversity in cedh
There's a Krark/Thras and at least one Magda I think. The other less popular ones we touched on here like Tameshi and Erinis I think.
Thank you!
One of the best episodes, I love the commentary between you guys. I'd love gameplay videos! I wanna see Eric play korvold!
@lomo918 thank you! Maybe one day 🤔

I built a meta busting deck… I’ve done pretty well with it. I’d bet money you could make final pod or win with it since you know exactly what decks do
Tim Necron? What the hell are you guys saying? lol
Tymna/Kraum?
@@LemorasCards YES, thank you!

Does Animar have the potential to do better with a good pilot in todays meta with all the good blue stuff being printed?

What is the deck you mentioned after K’rrik at 57:50? I heard Hulk and was intrigued but I can’t figure out what the commander is you said
Erinis/Street Urchin!
I figured it out, Erenis (Gloom Stalker) // Street Urchin
@@LemorasCardsjust looked this up. This looks like an awesome options for Hulk because I really want a Hulk deck!

We'd realistically need about 15 on there
1 for each color. DS, TO, Ad Naus or BM, Silence, Seedborn, manacrypt
Cedh should be the new sta Dard format
Pollywog seems to be too slow after some testing hard to evolve in T and K
@marco1thirteen i haven't played with it yet, but it does look like it needs some things to go right for you.
Doesn’t tymna and kraum evolve it in addition to already drawing you cards on any free spells?
@BrashM doesn't draw cards on any free spells necessarily they have to actually be 0.
The more RogSi the better, keep the RogSi train going.
Just play Kinnan. Problem solved.
How many years have been the same meta ?
@josemaniacthrasher we're in a pretty different spot right now than I feel like we've really ever been in, so I'd say 0.
Nadu was just released, TK is a more recent norm (like the last year or so I think), Rog Si is a pretty recent resurgence from Necodominance, and Sisay has also been a lot more popular recently. Not actually sure why Sisay has seen such an uptick.

It's the same 4 decks if you ignore all the other good decks people play
it's that simple!
