I've been playing edh since 2009, and cedh since 2012, when it wasn't cool yet. derevi stax then later derevi evolution was, and is still is my all time fave. 2020 marked my entry to 5 color cedh, with all the remote games and itchiness to play, mainly due to docky, thoracle and breach, and how well all 3 can be abused by kenrith. my main inspiration was evolution lists as well, w/o ad naus, then later tried my hand on some ad nauseam builds. I soon trashed it since none of my lists worked. Almost gave up playing ad naus altogether until mad farm, and your winning list gave me new vigor to revisit the archtype. thank you Xccepted for sharing your success and decklist, i've been having a blast playing it, with my own tweeks of course. wonderful vid too, hopefully more players try their hand on kenny!
Very good video , good advices for Kenrith new Kenrith players but there is more to it since Kenrith have many many good builds. If you ever need a Turbo Kenrith build guide and l2p the lines , I volunteer :D
What's the turn 2 intuition win with the 1 hand land assuming you don't draw the second land? The opponents would theoretically give you Breach or Rec in that scenario correct? To deny potentially dying that turn by cracking the LED and giving you a grave. Or am I missing something? Would it be safer to go for it turn 3 and use your turn 2 to search for dockside off demonic tutor?
I can't speak with as much experience, but I think it would be table dependent. There's a world where you can turn one deploy your rocks and then turn 2 tutor for Dockside and make enough treasures to win that turn with Intuition but it is fairly all in since you'll have no backup unless you draw it. You could also hold the Intuition up on turn 2, and especially if someone deploys a lot of rocks and turns on your Mindbreak Trap you could go for Intuition on their turn for a turn 3 win.
I think to an extent it's choosing raw power (Najeela) or versatility (Kenrith). Both lists are going to be the best cards in 5 colors, Najeela offers you an easier to establish threat of A+B combos where Kenrith has the ability to do tricky things with his abilities and generate value if rebuilding or taking it slow is required. More meta specifically, Najeela gets to naturally punish Ad Naus decks with combat damage very freely, but can also find the Najeela plan tricky in very creature heavy pods where combat isn't as open. Kenrith is a bit more reliant on Dockside counts being high which is very typically the case but doesn't care about gummed up board states, both are usually good against stax, it's a lot of preferential things with playstyle and minor card choices. Generally, Najeela is considered probably the better deck, so if someone was looking to play 5C good stuff I'd point them towards either a midrange Pongo style build (especially if newer to the format) or something like Drake's NBC Najeela. But if you want to do cool combat tricks, reanimator shenanigans, and have a Commander who can potentially do the value grind thing I'd say give Kenrith a try.

"play the dockside!"
I feel like that's the whole Kenny primer in a nutshell hahaha
What do we need now?
Excellent video with clear instructions and guidance.
Glad to hear it, thank you!

Thank you! Glad you're having fun with the deck, doing this interview with Xccepted has me really excited to try it out myself!
I love these!!! Tymna Kodama Hulk Stax next? Primer is called "Abazan Scales" on MoxF
Thank you! Definitely doing Tymna/Kodama at some point.
Kendrith is so versatile but I think midrange might be the best shell. Great content as always 😉
Thank you! Yeah I'm definitely inclined to agree I think it leans into his strengths the best.
Great video
Thanks
I’m starting to like this commander

Thank you so much! I know I'll probably be revisiting some of these sometime, though the list of first-time ones is already crazy long, lol.

Muy bueno!
What are some reasons a person might choose Kenrith over Najeela or vice versa?

@@LemorasCards Awesome, that's helpful. Thanks!
@@thomasnoonan2039 no problem! Let me know how you like them if you get some games in!

Hi
I hate dock side it just to much broken it like the commandor in almoseveru cedh drck is dock side and not the commander
Now dockside is banned.
