Build shorikai on a podcast!

From what I understand.... Everything dies to removal unless you play Etali and then who cares, cast it again.

I think there should be kind of an exception with magda for the criteria being the average person since pretty much all magda players are specialists.

I completely agree with Cal's take on Yuriko. There are 4 Yuriko players at my LGS and I'm just not ever seen it do much besides dwindle away at life totals and then lose.

The fat guy on the left is the most famous worst player of cEDH... And his opinions are as good as his record.

2c sisay?

How about Jund Rog?

I hope only Yuriko wins tournaments from now on just to see Cal go insane

I feel like I have so many toes in different decks right now. Might need to cut some toes off and really only focus my toe into one deck right now.

Honestly the reason I continue to play K’rrik even though I have access to 99% of the meta in foil and or foreign foil is exactly said in this video. Like you guys are shitting on it (and thanks for the shoutout) but I can post good numbers on it, like sure I play RogSi, I can play TnK, I can pick up TnT, but winning on K’rrik vs any of those decks just feels way more sweeter because K’rrik is absolute trash tier. I just can combine my table talk, meta deck building choices, and know my windows… plus I want to use my Russian foils of stupid black K’rrik staples lol.

There are always going to be new or lazy players. But I think tier lists should look at the ceiling over the “average”. And to that point I believe creators underestimate what the average cedh player looks like. It’s Ccccccedh. C for competitive, not casual.

47:42 worth noting that Malcolm + glinthorn combo works through Orcish Bowmasters because of the way Glinthorn’s abilities are split up, you’re able to keep activating on top of each bowmaster trigger to go off again. Also I’m glad you mentioned blood moons in Malcolm Kediss because I think they’re criminally underplayed in that deck.

I wonder if they’ll do Rocco

Talion has seemed even stronger since the bans

Cal is just mad that Magda is better than Tivit 😂

I have mixed feelings on the Shorikai takes. i for sure agree that humility gets too much emphasis, i think people see a non creature commander and instinctively go to humility, which on a base level i understand. Where I disagree is with calling it not a control deck; as Ian said, Shorikai is great at winning the game eventually, it can set up these layered engines that end up digging you like 8-12 cards deep in a turn cycle, all while being able to hold up interaction, and kind of just sit on these draw engines for many turns. Synergies with the keys, maybe unwinding clocks, and then most notably all the nutty draw engines in UW, i think the optimal way to play it is to just be the one getting more advantage than everyone else, combined with some stax pieces and tons if interaction. But don’t play humility

What is the correct way to build Shorkai?

Im curious to see part two!my krark brain only watched krark-saka. But going to finish the rest now. I really think krark-si has equal or more to offer than its krark-saka storm counterpart, so maybe it makes part two once we get to the 3 color pairings🤞 Great vid as usual

I was playing the air trumpet army eulogy before I saw your ranking for Niv Mizzet Parun lol. I have been a niv pilot for years, and 2 days after the bans and play testing, I took it apart and turned it into Stella Lee. The mana pips are just too intensive to get Niv out early for any explosive wins that Stella or krark/sakashima can achieve like 2 turns earlier and more consistently.

SISAY post ban deck tech plzzz

Poor Niv.Sad my baby is so dead we're playing bad cards like Geode Golem and Lotus Bloom tech with Goblin Engineer/Welder/Whir of Invention to get Niv into play by turn 4 on average. It's a more consistent deck, but WAY less explosive compared to Jeweled Lotus and Dockside being unbanned. Maybe I can hire Ian to make a working model of the deck.

Yuriko is a real deck Cal sorry to tell you!

I'm a Talion main and I've strayed from the "traditional" path. Turned it into a more Aggro deck, to accelerate the clock on my opponents life points. And I only interact to stop a player, I let everyone play out, and they eventually kill themselves through life loss and my Combat Damage.

Shadow of mortality is bad in Yuriko because all it does it 45 damage to the table.. and, also,. Sheoldred is a good cedh card 🤔 Love you bud but that maybe doesn’t check out,

54:00 Splinter Twin was unbanned in Modern today 😂

splinter twin reference and its unbanned today in modern

Post ban sisay deck tech PLZZZZZ

Perfect. I'm trying to pick a new deck. This will help, thanks!

Ob deserves more love! I do agree with your points bad players should stay away. But when piloted correctly ob can grind through 3 blue decks and all of the interaction.

Super hyped to see this as I always think decks more than the top 10 are interesting af so thx abunch <3 (Just recently watch 2021s)

Yuriko, let’s go! I was that guy that won a tourney last month. Agreed the new Kaito is great. I think the reason we don’t play Top and Scroll Rack anymore is because of our greedy manabases. I am only on 27 lands plus a few MDFCs. Swapping out Scroll Rack or Top for 2 additional Stax or Control pieces will often buy us time to push through to the late game. I will usually mulligan aggressively against turbo decks like Rogue/Si or combo. Every other deck in the format is a pretty even match for us in my opinion.

I never thought I’d hear Kirk Cousins and Urza in the same sentence 😂

I’m excited for this!

Tier list yess

First, to spell first correctly! Victory was achieved today.

Love to see some of the deep tech getting some light shone on it. Martial Paragon hits that surprising spot and fills a particular niche really strongly

17:07 Shhh dont tell the devs, but you can enter any value for tournament size in the URL and it works.

>tymna ban The salt lmao

How does someone win 7 rounds in 14 turns??? Does no one hold up interaction anymore??? That sounds like a dream for my Magda deck.

Automatic option was streamlined to 60 and 100 but you should still be able to filter edhtop16's participant count by editing the url.

Offering to algorythm Jesus 🙏

Glaaaaarb, I’ve been jamming Glarb in some Spelltable leagues, looking to do some tournaments this upcoming year with my build, I’m on a Hermit Druid build which has been a lot of fun

When talking about what cards people are running in tournaments, it’s important to remember that some tournaments are no proxy. I played in SCG Columbus and helped ruin the winning percentage for Kinnan, but also was missing about 20 cards due to not owning them.

Love the podcast, as always, but Cal, you railroad Ian so many times on this one. I don't think you mean to, but you cut Ian off at least a dozen times. I can't imagine what it's like to try to maintain the momentum of a podcast, so what does my opinion matter, but just wanted to share that feedback. Love what you all do!

My recent tier list I made was basically “S tier is most 4c midrange piles, A tier is like 10+ decks, B tier is everything that is sooo close to A” I love this meta so much
