I love jeskai combos. The inclusion of mana positive rocks + grinding station for breach lines was so big brain. I have this deck and a nerfed tiny leaders shu yun eggs version for one of my whiney baby pods. Same stuff but with extra steps. Love your content and miss you guys. 💘

[@mordamen]

Let's gooooooo Elsha!

[@kovala]

This was awesome! Really appreciate videos like these...especially because I'm building Elsha top atm. :)

[@PhazonOmega]

This deck sounds like a blast to play! I love it when my deck has no clear way to win, yet has many ways to win! My Golos Superfriends (non-cEDH) is strong, but never seems to win quite the same way any two times, and I love that! Perhaps I should look into Elesha for cEDH!

[@huntergrant6520]

I'll never forget that feeling I got when I figured out how Elsa played and she went off. Felt like going Super Saiyan

[@white2840]

Omg! I didn’t know you guys still made content, I watched you like 3 years ago but thought you left your channel, time to catch up!

[@Shenbeiner]

Thanks for this one man!

[@MrInvisibleJ]

The big name decks are fun to watch you break down, are you going to be going over more niche or tier 2 decks as well?

[@LaboratoryManiacs]

Yes I am. I'm working through the draft order on the MLC, with a few caveats. In the end the goal is to hit all the decks on the decklist database.

[@benjaminking3677]

I’ve decided to build this. It’ll take a bit but it seems very fun.

[@kkguitar]

A Inalla deck rundown would be nice :)

[@LaboratoryManiacs]

That can probably be done :D

[@onnilattu9138]

Good stuff again. Will we be getting cEDH gameplay some time?

[@LaboratoryManiacs]

Yes, you will. however the time investment on a gameplay video vs this is quite crazy. I'm working to get at least weekly videos out. The current gameplay video I'm working on has had over 40 hours of editing on it, and I'm about 2/3 done. They take incredibly longer to create compared to these. So it is a balance. Gameplay videos are being worked on, but the content must flow.

[@onnilattu9138]

@@LaboratoryManiacs Understandable. Looking forward to it.

[@jka5000]

Do you guys possibly have a good updated on kaldor ?

[@scotthensley269]

With hullbreacher banned, would you consider esper sentinel or gilded drake? Or is there a better option?

[@Solipsismreal]

Those are fine.

[@jakesummer1189]

Don’t have a LED, what is the next best win con

[@rfccw949]

is there a budget version that is available?

[@LaboratoryManiacs]

At the bottom of the primer, there is a link to "How we built the budget list" it goes over the differences and has a budgeted list linked.

[@mfmageiwatch]

"This is a winconless deck." Also... "Rolling earthquake"

[@JDubsCCGsOnline]

You can use rolling earthquake as just a removal spell, winconless just means there are no cards who's sole purpose is a win condition with no other function in the deck

[@mfmageiwatch]

@@JDubsCCGsOnline you can use consultation to find removal or a counterspell, you can use Thassa's Oracle to dig for a card and block. Does that mean that thoracle decks are also winconless?

[@LaboratoryManiacs]

@@mfmageiwatch Rolling earthquake's primary purpose is removal. Earthquake for 2-4 will clear almost all creatures and pieces of hate in play. With the proper sequencing, it will leave Elsha alive and will open the board up for your to progress your plan. It can ALSO kill everyone. Comparing it to Thoracle is laughable. Either of the two fall back modes you mentioned, are not part of any plan, they are worst case scenarios. Primary pieces of removal that can, in a corner case, kill a Gitrog player is definitely not something that you call a win con for a deck.
