Need input for ironman CEDH list.

I am currently working on building an ironman cedh list. It was originally a 4, but wanted to go to magiccon and try out some cedh games. This is my current list. wanted some input on what cards i should add?

My thoughts is to play play stax artifacts to slow the game down and use iron man to eventually assemble out of the stax pieces to sensei combo / Breach lines.

The alt wincon was going painter servant combo if i want to keep my stax.

BR4 tune to cEDH

So I’m new to cEDH relatively new to MTG and Ive been working on a boros deck for close to 4-5ish months now. It’s fine tuning it, Deck testing, testing hands, ramp, flicker and tutors for optimal performance. I need help getting it into a cEDH level where it should be a problem early on. I’ve had a few games recently where I’ve got my commander out as early as turn 4 or turn 5. Mid game turn 6. Ive got a win con and it’s infinite combat. My budget is around $50. The deck is supposed to win off infinite combat, the meta is combat aggro. Issues I have with the deck. Missing one red land drop, I don’t have dual lands. I play the deck consistently and have started garnering wins every other 2nd or 3rd game. I won’t change the commander or the infinite combat setup.

Online tournments

Hey team, long time lurker here. Wondering if there are any online tournaments coming up or if there's anywhere to look for them outside of Topdeck. Keen to get involved if there are. Haven't seen any recent threads on the topic so hope the post is fine.

Lands underneath ?

https://moxfield.com/decks/oZczJzAj2kqwRXHs5-nm1A

I’m attempting to build a wandering minstrel Cedh deck, I’ve seen the land loops and I know they are hard to interact with but I’m wondering if using minstrel as a value engine with mana positive lands in a turbo ad naus breach shell would be better. Any help/ recommendations would be helpful, the meta is not very stax heavy and is pretty focused on gassing out combos asap. Thanks for all the help!

anyone else starting to get infuriated with the “yeah i’m good to concede here”

ive played 8 games this past week online, and 3 of them, somebody presented a single combo piece and the other two players are immediately like “yeah i’m good to concede here”, and i have to be like “no play it out”- guys there is more interaction in this game than counter spells. a combo resolving on the stack ≠ that person has won the game. this is particularly relevant in breach or food chain lines

what you do here is just give the person trying to win so much info that they do not need- that you don’t have anything, for one, and than when i say “no, let’s play it out”, it’s now pretty inferable that i have interaction that they now know to play around that the otherwise might not have

tl;dr: games not over until it’s over. stop giving up immediately when shown a win con you don’t have an answer for

Looking for Under Explored Decks!

Hey All, looking to actually try some deck building after playing some of the popular decks and was wondering if anyone had recommendations for decks that they have been working on or do not see much play. (Bonus if they are a lands matter deck)! Would love to see what some people have been cooking up even if it has not been winning tournaments!

Is there any way to make Windgrace B5?

Hey all!

I’m tuning a Bracket 4 Lord Windgrace list that’s built to play like a land-based spellslinger/combo deck: the main plan is to turn lands into mana, cards, and asymmetrical pain through engines like Squandered Resources, Life from the Loam, Crucible effects, Coffers + Urborg + Candelabra, and fast mana, then convert that into brutal swing turns with Death Cloud / Thoughts of Ruin / Tectonic Break + Tergrid, or straight-up kill with Torment of Hailfire, Exsanguinate, or Scapeshift + Valakut + Dryad/Prismatic Omen; it also has more compact explosive lines like Ad Nauseam / Bolas’s Citadel / Beseech the Mirror, and even Beseech into Natural Order into Nyxbloom Ancient to set up absurd mana. The goal is nasty, salty, asymmetric, fast prison for its own sake. I’d love feedback on whether this reads like a true Bracket 4 list, and what I can do to bring it closer to bracket 5. (and if Windgrace can even compete in a bracket 5 table)

Thanks guys!

Looking for cEDH Guide on Hearthull, the Worldseed

I saw a few lands lists for Hearthull and am super intrigued. I love the cards in the list and it’s dope to see a jund lands commander actually performing a bit (even if fringe). Only problem is I really don’t know how this deck functions or what the combo lines are. Only one I’m familiar with is the gitrog line. If anybody has a primer or can steer me in the right direction would be appreciated!

Loot, the Pathfinder

I've been looking for a food chain deck that wasn't Etali, and I know Loot is pretty fringe, but he's a pet deck that I want to see if I can do anything with.

I'm looking to do standard food chain shenanigans with Squee and Eternal Scourge. My Bracket 4 deck relied heavily on using Displacer Kitten/Etali, Primal Conqueror to close out games when I couldn't draw into Food Chain. I know relying on Etali, Kinnan, and Thrasios/Faerie Mastermind isn't something you want to do if they're not your commander, so I'm trying to tune it to really focus on Loot.

Considering dipping my toe in - suggestions? Is it right for me?

Hi all - I’m new here but not to Magic. Been playing for 15 years and commander seriously for about 2. I mostly like bracket 2-3 as that’s what people at my LGS play but I get tired of it, as well as people who aren’t interested in playing the game well or improving themselves.

I’m curious if any of you think I’d be a good fit for CEDH or if I should just go play more bracket 3-4. The one thing holding me up is my brain just doesn’t click with combo lines well (at least not yet). Every time someone explains it I have to really sit and think hard about it and often the primers in decks that explain a combo still don’t explain how they actually win the game with it.

Do other players just scoop and assume you have it once you demonstrate one combo even if it’s not showing lethal or a win?

Anyway I think if I did start playing CEDH it would have to be Stax as it suits my play style a lot more. Probably Tayam just looking around, but it does seem that that deck still relies on infinite combos.

I’d also probably just be playing on cockatrice or something since I don’t know anyone that plays CEDH much in my area.

Last question - and maybe this comes down more to the people, but are folks generally receptive to new players and being patient? I’ve heard anecdotally that people get annoyed when CEDH players make misplays or are new and don’t get combo lines - the one guy I’ve met that plays is always rattling off cards expecting everyone to be able to connect the dots but I’m just not there yet

RogSi - Do we have room for Flashback(SOS)

I already got my Full art foil regardless. I'm in favor of including it and more perspectives are needed here

So for RogSi players, especially tournament players, is the potential to use Flashback on Ad Naus, Pact, Borne, Vamp, worthwhile enough to include it over other options?

Our lists already have 25 or 30+ instants, so the question is does the card actually give a competitive advantage? Or is Timetwister, Yawgmoth's Will, and Underworld Breach all we need?

Other Rog Decks

The success of rograkh decks recently had me wondering about the viabilty of sans-blue three color rog decks. Do you think jund, naya, or mardu rog decks have a chance at being tournament competitive? Has anyone brewed these decks succesfully?

If you're getting into cEDH, knowing what cards to buy first can save you hundreds of dollars, and make your decks way more competitive.

In this cEDH buyer’s guide, I break down the S-tier staples you should prioritize first, why they matter, and how they impact your ability to win games at a competitive table. Whether you're building your first cEDH deck or upgrading an existing list, this guide will help you make the right purchases.

These are the cards that show up across the best decks in the format, and buying them in the right order makes a huge difference.

Let me know in the comments: what card do you think is the MOST important cEDH staple?

Source for Double Sided Proxies

I am looking at the current and previous Strixhaven Archives cards with a lot of cEDH staples. Do you have any hint at some proxy printing service that can print a japanese alternate art on one side and the English version on the other side? Same with Lorwyn double sided lands… I want to start playing high power bracket 4-5 with a reasonable entry price and also cool art.

Bonus points if the business is non US based and ship to Canada. I don’t mind if it’s not the absolute cheapest : quality before price. I expect once shipping is added to pay 1-2$/card for an order of 100-200 cards. You have any recommendations within these parameters?

Dog Thras, Rog Thras, or Najeela

Im looking at starting to work on a Cedh deck. I have a lot of modern staples, especially lands, already ie fetches shocks some surveils. And i started trying to build a bracket 4 najeela list so should i just try to assemble a cedh “package” of like LED and duals and stuff to upgrade that or are one if the other options better. I really like the cradle combo of thrasios but i cant decide if dog or rog is better. Thanks in advance!
