ok i need to point something out. tortured existence and some cards allow you to actually combo off. is it a good combo? no i don't think so. at least not good enough for cedh. but it is there and it would be hilarious if you pull it off. you need a token doubler, ashnods and that pirate that leaves back a treasure when it dies.

Looks super sweet, probably also going to take a look at brewing it

I havent played magic in years but this commander really might bring me back

Definitely a commander that I'm looking at to build.

Big creatures feel a bit unnecessary, all the good value creatures that are small turn into a 4/4 zombie, thats really nice for Pollywog Prodigy, Esper Sentinel and even the looters like Kitsa , you can just produce a bunch of 4/4 and win that way, which allows you to play a lot more stax creatures, which you can all turn into 4/4 zombies. So simply a package of good Esper creatures quite smoothly becomes great with this, could just slot into Raffine, or be the commander. Even in Tymna / Thrasios this guy might be really nice, as its so good with Survival of the Fittest (maybe even Greater Good, but thats a bit slow). Turning all your Seedborn Muse / Kinnan and friends into instant speed zombies is pretty nice. Seems like a REALLY amazing card to brew with, as it fits so nicely in many shells and has so much build around potential.

I saw it and I really like it. Look pretty nice either casual or cedh

Sefris is cEDH now. Trust.

FIRST 🎉

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqvZp5uniK14bcksi=UMc9s96cukLptWeV I upgraded slivers to Cedh

No my main wincon for this deck is ofc a fire brand archer or othasr inst or sorc pinger. Then I play a spell hardly used called return to the past (gives all inst/sorc in the grave flash back) then I go into my mana geyser sithe song combo giving me usually atleast 30 to 40 red mana all while pinging my group of 5 for 1 drawing 4 cards per thing till I can go into a full burn phase. Ether killing them with the burn or my laboratory maniac combo cause I drew my entire deck

Love that deck techs like this one are back ♥️

I run a 60-card, 5-color Odin deck (& let's be real, this card is obviously inspired by Odin's Wild Hunt) and this is one of my primary win con cards in it. I mostly use sneak attack to get it into play, but also have Prismatic Bridge, Defense of the Heart and some ways to bring things back from the graveyard (which I would only do when I have a way to give this freaking thing HASTE OFC!!!!! WHY NO HASTE?!) Edit: I also can reliably foretell this into play for WWW on the low end, to (3)WWW on the higher end

Gotta build a Breya deck right. Cards like Ashnod the uncaring, Ruthless Deathfang, Displacer Kitten, Enduring Tenacity, Conjurer’s Closet, and Bloodthirsty Conquerer are all key in the 99 to build a great deck with her.

We need a post ban update

I have him in my The Balrog, Durin's Bane deck which synergizes well with both abilities that Kellogg has. He makes treasure which is great for casting The Balrog initially & he can steal creatures which helps me & I can also sacrifice them to permanently remove them as well as gain benefits.

Anyone else here wondering in 2025 if there’s going to be an update video on this one? Cause over time so many things came in the game that he said would make it CEDH viable. Vexing bauble the goat lol

I’ve always thought Remora was pretty fair, considering its power. Looking forward to your video on Rhystic Study!

I built her similar to how Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor was built (cheap & evasive creatures as well as some stuff like Opposition Agent & Voidwalker.) Anyways, I exiled an opponent's Roaming Throne so I cast it & named Rogue as the type. It is pretty much "Lights Out" if you get that to stick because at that point with 3 opponents to attack you are eseentially timewalking them each combat because you end up with 6 untapped treasure tokens & drawn 6 of their cards. Needless to say, I went home and made room for my Roaming Throne that was in a binder.

Uhhhh mystic remora, mid to late game with counter spell back up is op there buddy

Turning ramp into card draw, card selection and a board state at once is too busted in casual

This was shit lol

This makes me think about watching Pontus throwing away hands that lean all in on Fish

This is no question that esper sentinel is better than Remora. Rhystic study has been the best card in the format for a long time. This isn’t new Information.

Ty this is another banger!

please do it post ban!! Thanks Mons!!

Than not then

You need to pay for remora to keep it and easier to counter, while esper is both a creature and a artifact to tutor with Urza's saga or ranger captain of eos. Paying 3 mana sometimes to keep the fish while with esper you can hit people to draw cards with Tymna or reduce Ad naseaum value. Only my opinion.

So TLDR; Mystic should be considered like a soft Silence.

I think the big difference hear is that esper not many people care about. It’s one spell you pay 1. For fish you need a land drop to continue, however I have a good amount of pods where players just stop playing the game until fish is gone which will never happen with esper. So hands down I think fish is better for those reasons most people won’t pay for remora as well to esper they can. I also like to think of it past turn one, if we look at this 4 turns in which one would you take a remora or esper and the answer is always remora. I also hardly see esper countered ever so that also shows the power level difference. I think you would have to see each match and determine if one won because of those specific draws to know truly know but I’m guessing remora.

I'm in first few seconds of video, but i think people slam remora too early. It's better on the combo turn than the first turn.

Seeing how high the win rate is for the one ring atm would you suggest playing it in Blue Farm without Minamo? Just curious based on your previous video on blue farm.

❤❤❤

Thought provoking work

Stats like this are my favourite part of cEDH. I wonder though, how do stats in KZbin videos which are played for content differ from tournament games where players are competing for real prizes and are more willing to play less cards to play around Mystic/Esper change the win rates. I'd imagine Remora tends to be worse if you're playing fast decks like RogSi but mid-range and control likes like TnK or Tivit are happier sitting on Remora and just playing lands each turn.

Is there a statistic on how often the fish gets countered? Might be influencing the winrate difference if they're in the data from the moment they're cast regardless of it resolving or not

I think it would be helpful to separate the scenario where Esper Sentinel is tutored by Ranger-Captain of Eos from situations where it is not. The Ranger-Captain is a very strong card that significantly boosts the win rate. In this case, playing Esper Sentinel doesn't cost you a card from your hand; it's essentially a bonus provided by the Captain, and the winrate is actually Esper Sentinel + Ranger Captain vs Remora. On the other hand, Mystic Remora typically requires you to spend a card from your hand in most cases.

Hello there. You have forgotten to say the biggest difference between esper sentinel and mystic remora in general that drawing a card from esper sentinel isn't optional and can ruin your win with thoracle consultation. Thats the reason i cut him off of a deck. It basically looses games. Also i like to have more blue cards in deck so i can pitch them to force of will. Anyway have a nice day. :)

If I drop a Mystic Remora I am guaranteed to draw cards. Table just gives up. If I Try an early game Esper or Study, Table at least tries.

"there is no taxes on this thing" - cEDH TV, talking about Esper Sentinel and Rhystic study, taken out of context

cEDH has changed slightly in the last few years

Can we get a post band update?

I have had a lot of success w this deck. I like it very much.

Hey I'm on TV! Very interesting research thanks for sharing!

Plagon feels like the remake of abdel Adrian candlekeep sage background commander deck. Abdel Adrian is still one of the best budget decks one can build if they want a powerful deck, but it requires an investment of 8 mana in total plus a flicker spell to do the thing. Plagon rewards you for playing some of the best creatures in azorius. It is a good card on its own and only. The floor is 3 mana for a card from the command zone. This sounds meh, but I have noticed that most cedh decks try to draw to their 10th to 15th card to find enough gas to win. So having a draw 1, 2 or even 3 brings you really close to the cars required to win.

PRESTON TIME ✨✨

There is something funny about a random castle wall being a familiar.

i dont see how having my decklist in my hand makes me win😬

I do love the spice in this deck! ❤❤❤

I’ve been hearing about this commander, looks like I’m gonna have to build it 🤌
