cEDH Tierlist the best 5 commanders in MTG

So let's ask this question. If we calculat all the commanders winrate. Then make a leaderbord with all of them in order from highest winrate to the lowest. Well this is how it would look like. Here we go!

Decks that tend to be played by newbies or people with a strict budget have a bias towards worse results.

[@cedhtv]

I do think all of these tournament that I have looked at are 100% proxy frinedly. Don't take my word for it. But they should be proxy frinedly.

[@colinstock325]

As a newbie to commander, I totally agree with this comment. Even with proxying I currently produce crappy decks.

[@johnnoreau3570]

@@colinstock325commander takes a while to get a feel for. My first 3 commander decks were all garbage until I finally settled on Nekusar. It’s a deck I’ve had 10-12 years and built upon since high school. My first three were Borborgymus enraged. Totally spelled that wrong. Thraximundar. And Oloro. Just kinda threw 99 cards together and got beat every week. Now. I’ve got like 13-14 commander decks with all different builds and strategies. Just gotta find what works for you.

As soon as I saw Winota so low, that's what my mind went to. Winota was a top performer in some statistics project 2ish years ago.

[@timothydalton2388]

Tivit, najeela,and kinnan are definitely skewed downwards as a result of polularity, ive played against a lot of really bad pilots and those players are definitely tanking the overall win rate. But a competent najeela or tivit is not something you want to see in your pod.

[@PokePelago]

I think the reason Kinnan is so low is based more on how the competitors played, rather than the strength of their decks

[@SamuelKacerik]

This is it. You even mentioned that in the video yourself. Too many noobs are playing these decks because they are told these decks are good. But they have no clue how to play them.

[@lumi2642]

​@@SamuelKacerikIt happened to a friend of mine. Built a highly competitive stax esper deck and still struggled to secure wins and lock tables just because he was told good cards and how good that deck is instead of playing something of his style. Granted, it was a good deck regardless, but I've seen that exact same phenomenon happening

[@DoubleBeast]

Looking forward to the combo & counterspell tier lists! Ranking combos themselves is an interesting new perspective.

[@supersam5802]

My guess on Kinnan being slightly low, I’d guess it ramps so hard that consistently getting the combo pieces for the win are tricky and the popularity of kinnan make him too high priority to win without a few counters in hand

[@cedhtv]

I will agree to this. He can pull hate!

It a great deck you can shut down so many combos and decks. Depending on how you build it. With search being so prevalent in cEDH you can run all the anti hate search accept the one in red. You can run so many different combos too. She does so much plus she is your long game and card advantage in the command zone. All your library is just playing the best cards from cEDH. Even if stacks make a come back those decks just help.

I’m sure this video will ruffle some feathers, but keep in mind it’s just what the data shows currently. Performances only seem to vary by a few percentage points, so everyone can still play their favorite deck/cards and do well. Thank you very much for continuing to break down the data in this format for us! Super informative and I can’t wait to see it progress as we have larger sample sizes. ❤️

I know im one of the few. But my favorite cedh deck ive been running is Kozelik the great distortion. Playing forsaken monument turn 1 then turn 2 having him come out and drawing you all those cards you used is so damn refreshing lol.

I have tested that but it is hard to make it work good.

[@rolandluckett2399]

Experiment Kraj gives me the same vibes as Kinnan in the sense that I feel like 90% of players playing him have no clue what they are doing so the deck ends up looking far weaker than it actually should.

[@moralessanchezoscarelias6412]

Great analysis! A difficult piece of data to consider is intentional draws, but it would be interesting to keep track of. In certain tournament structures, intentionally drawing into top cut is a good strategy, so that might be introducing some noise to the data.

[@guillaume53681]

Great informative video! A Cedh Hate piece tier list in the same manner would be nice for us Stax lovers XD.

I wonder if you have a running bell curve of the avg number of entries from all lists. To show a cross section of tier and popularity. This also can give insight to # of entries and give a realitve stat to the "Brewers Advantage" boogie man Great work Mons!!!

[@AseAPS]

Kinnan is another deck where it's really skill dependent. It's easy to play the deck and think you understand it, but it's only really great after you send the time to get very very good at it. There is a lot more nuance than it appears on the surface with this deck.

[@aalagerwaard]

High ceiling / low floor

[@bobthor9647]

What's one example of something an expert of Kinnan deck does better than someone who is new to the deck ?

[@AseAPS]

@@bobthor9647 I would start by watching some of Wounded Satellite's, the number one highest performance Kinnan player, game play and reading his primer for more. Mulliganing and game plan alterations are something that has taken a lot of time for me to figure out. To really know what you're doing there you need to spend a lot of time looking at the play patterns of the other top decks. I know I'm talking about this in a very abstract way, but honestly, it would take a lot of work to give a comprehensive guild.

Great work. In tournament I would play Shorikai; despite Humility being older than most players now; people still don’t understand Humility. Then in my local group I play Thrasios/Rog polymorph. Both suck compared to silas/rog turbo ad naus; but that’s ok. I like my decks. Both use polymorph as the wincon 🙂

[@paulopaixao9648]

I would be interested in knowing how did you build your Shorikai deck. Any list I could check? I'm new to the game but I already own a Shorikai deck Also, do you use Humility in Shorikai?

Ya id love to see the Shorikai list as well. I'm picking the deck up this week.

[@troyrussell177]

I’m just learning about the edh format specifically ( played mtg for 20 years but only played draft, standard, pauper, modern ). I didn’t realize there were so many cards exclusive to commander. Since looking into edh I can’t believe how many cards I just didn’t know existed/never seen. I wanna make a mono green stompy or infect deck asap. Gotta make it on a budget to start.

[@billable1861]

How about mono green stompy infect brother? Fynn, The Fangbearer you’re welcome!

[@laaronml]

Definitely excited for a cedh combo tier list in the future

[@cedhtv]

Card combonations are quite tricky. But I am working on it.

[@qazaq25]

It would certainly become more subjective but if you were to go through each comander and assign a category to each commander such as just being for colors, being a combo piece or being a draw engine and then assign a high, medium or low for being commander centric, do you think there is any clear correlation between those factors and win rate across the format?

[@cedhtv]

Hard to say. I was planning on looking at patterns from this tier list. Like look at all S-tier commanders and see what that have in common.

[@ronsmall9033]

This was awesome. I am super curious as to the stats for Urza. That is my deck.

[@jacobuphoff2969]

So deck building also takes a part in this. I was looking as some of the lower win rate decks you mentioned in C tier (Such as Ob nixilis) and when you look at the higher win rate decks, vast majority those decks are rakdos turbo naus lists, and the ones with the lower win rates mostly don't run naus and/or have a higher deck mana value I would be interested to see a tier list where the quality of the deck build is also looked at. Also the pilot of a deck is everything, and if people don't understand the deck and are just playing it because other people win with it, it tanks that win percentage.

[@cedhtv]

I do plan on doing a combo tier list aswell and in that we will dig in into card choices. Looking at ad naus winrate and such. Or well there will be more details. Also I am currently trying to figure out how to present that.

[@jacobuphoff2969]

yeah that will be tricky to quantify. Also to your point about Najeela and Blue farm, I wonder if blue farm has a higher percentage of skilled players due to the decks being more complicated to play, so those new to cEDH would gravitate away from that to start and a deck like Najeela that is combat based and pretty linear would attract those newer players, causing the win percentage to drop.@@cedhtv

[@pablowarcraft]

I'm curious to know a bit more about Etali. Built myself a deck but i'm still lacking some important pieces for it to really work. My group in reality plays close to cEDH decks like Korvold so I don't really have much knowledge about cEDH

[@cedhtv]

So I do have a lot of knowlage of cEDH but not on Etali. There are a lot of content creators that do have some knowlage of Etali. Alan from mental missplay dose play it a bit. In generall I think Etali struggels. Gruul struggels. I have to say what I belive and I don't recommend Etali. But I also always say you should play what you want to play. Play what you think is fun. But what I know your looking for clones. Cast etali and gain a clone and get anouther Etali trigger. That is the kinda goal with Etali. Cast etali and win on the spot. More or less.

[@Ch3f81]

I absolutely love playing my Prosper, Tome-Bound deck and would love to tune it enough to compete with the cEDH crowd. @cEDH TV did you have any insight into why Prosper hasn't/can't push higher?

[@cedhtv]

Rakdos struggels. It is not a good color in generall. If you have any more color. Any color that would have done a lot. So I think if better cards are printed then this commander would get better.

[@khathecleric]

Now i can tell other yuriko players that they are B rate duelists with a C rate deck, including myself. Still murdered the table on turn 4 flipping into Shadow of Mortality.

[@ByronC900]

Reminds me of years ago in League when Yasuo was released. There were so many bad Yasuo players, people would argue “look at his win rate, he sucks!” But in the hands of a pro, he was nuts.

[@floridaman6982]

New videos are best part about mondays 😁

[@cedhtv]

haha thank you!

[@joshnelson9809]

Did you notice any trend with decks with AvgDrawRates either much lower than their win rate, or perhaps higher? I would expect stax decks to draw a lot, but also maybe blue decks will get draws more than losses because of counter spells? Seems like an interesting thing to dive into.

[@cedhtv]

In generall you are correct. Decks with lower winrate often have higher draw rate. Not always. But also stax decks tend to have higher draw rate. Talion has a high draw rate.

[@Thelastpraetor]

I can definitely see Tayam dropping to B Tier, it's an incredible deck, but it's a struggle to play and keep up with some tables

[@Rafesco]

Some of the decks that are C tier like Tivit, Kinnan and Yuriko are very popular among new cEDH players. Those commanders are powerful engines by themselves, a very simple lines of play and cheaper to build. But I think the experience of a player heavily gives you win%, for a veteran it's easier to punish newbies and/or bait responses in to a real wincon.

[@om3n430]

So, what's the typical number of blue cards you should be playing to reasonably support a pitch to force?

[@cedhtv]

I think I heard something about 17. I haven't done that math myself so don't take myword for it. It is just something I hear someone say some time ago.

[@BeholdDog5341]

Out of curiosity, where would Emry, Lurker of the Loch be on the tier list? I’ve played her competitively for a time and I’d put her in C tier. The way I built her, she was consistent and won a decent amount. However, I also play Jhoira weather light captain, and I win wayyyy more with Jhoira.

[@cedhtv]

I honestly have No idea. Emry just dosen't have that many games played.

[@tsuki7064]

how does the first sliver food chain compare with all of this? Id assume the deck is at least decent, but I didnt see it in the list at all. maybe I missed it

[@cedhtv]

You did not. The first sliver only has 5 games played so I haven't added it to my data yet. I guess I could but I can't stand here and say its winrate from that. So the answer is, to few games.

A friend of mine is about to build a Zur the enchanter deck. I’ve played against one before I believe. Wasn’t terrible to play against but he’s solid.

[@ComstarAgent]

How exactly are you calculating p-value? For example, for Kyark/Sakashima, you have a p-value of .004, however, looking at the numbers, it appears there’s 258 games, 62 wins, and 34 draws. Based on what you said, an average deck should win 22.5% of games and tie 10% of games, so that’s what I’m using for my null hypothesis. Looking at wins, if I use a binomial probability calculator, with p=0.225, n=258, and x=62, I get a p-value of 0.3 of x>=62. Looking at draws, if I use a binomial probability calculator, with p=0.1, n=258, and x=34, I get a p-value of 0.06 of x>=34. Looking at draws + wins, if I use a binomial probability calculator, with p=0.325, n=258, and x=96, I get a p-value of 0.06 of x>=96. None of my calculated p-values are anywhere close to yours

[@cedhtv]

the Null Hypothesis (H0) states that there's no significant difference in average winrates between two player groups: 'WINS' (players who won games) and 'LOSS_DRAW' (players who lost or drew) in tournaments. H0 assumes that any winrate differences are likely due to random chance, not a real advantage. TWe try to statistical test checks if the data supports rejecting H0 and concluding a meaningful difference in winrates between these groups.

[@prooggroo7597]

yes, activate Sisay once for Boseiju and ad naus

[@ry7hym]

it only now occurred to me that in a game with four possible outcomes, the turning point of a good winrate is 25%. in a game with two possible outcomes is 50% the turning point. which is just super logical but i only found out now

[@nonlinear3084]

This is very different from the one you posted in the discord? How recent was that tournament?

[@cedhtv]

Yesterday. I think this tournament took place saturday to sunday and the data came out today. So yes this is super new. When I finished the set up to do this I published it on my discard like a celebration. Like "Wow I finished it, I want to share it somehow!"

[@nonlinear3084]

Surprising how many decks shifted

[@dreadgray78]

Also considering draws I think that should bump up the overall win rate - if you remove draws from consideration - and ask the question: of games that had a winner that this deck played in, what was the win %? Also there’s the reality of people playing for draws to make cuts, which probably intentionally bumps up the draw rate.

[@astirak1050]

I´d be interested which spot Hinata, Dawn Crowned would take. I love playing her and am kinda surprised she isn´t even on the list here.

[@cedhtv]

Hinata only has 4 games so to few. saddly. She needs to see more play before we say anything.

I think Kinnan is not higher because so many people play him. The more people play a deck, the closer that deck is going to be to the average winrate, which is 22%. The more games of commander you play, the closer your winrate is going to be to the average winrate. And and that point more games will not change the winrate by much

Wouldn’t this also be true for Blue Farm? They are the most played but have a higher win rate.

Kinnan is kinda the babies first cedh commander. I believe that the win rate is only so "low" because he is a strong commander so it is easy to pick up but he has very high sealing. I am not a kinnan main, I just happen to have watched Tyler(play to win) speaking about it and I think ComedIan as well. And it make sense. I was thinking of making 4 proxy deck to have on me to introduce my group to cedh. Kinnan is one of them

[@cedhtv]

Kinnan is a good commander. Sure there could be stronger commanders but kinnan isa mong the good ones.

I play Urza and have pretty good winrates with it. Where exactly does it fall in your data? It has some new pieces that have helped me win more games.

Urza has from 39 tournament entrys a winrate of 16,85%

i also play urza, can you share your list? thx :)

5:51 Wow! i'm really amazed. The Gitrog Monster was and in my opinion, should be one of the top (maybe a or B tier) because of how fast he can do his thing, and access to weird cards like Glacial Chasm. Which shuts down aggro decks. And The Gitrog Monster can manipulate this land so your never losing life, still gaining on land drops, but your opponents have to have a removal that can target or get rid of lands for them to hit. I really would had thought he'd be higher on the list, especially cause he's a 6/6 with deathtouch. am i the only one annoyed with how prevalent Tymna the Weaver is?

[@alvaroruiz5329]

Hello, could you give the stats of Prosper? Thanks

[@cedhtv]

From 12 tournament games prosper has a 17,24 % winrate.

Question. I’m an OG player as in when the game first came out. And come in and out over the year. I’ve played tourneys way back and did well. My older kids have really gotten into commander. I’d like to pick up a good commander deck to use. I am very adept at playing complex decks. And I tend to be aggressive. Can I drop some decent cash and pick up a premade commander deck that I can compete well with at the local shop? And with my kids. The Old Man wants to come in with a hammer deck and beat multiple opponent games. Can you suggest some deck names for me to research and look to buy? Thanks. New subscriber. Your content is right in my strike zone. I will spend holiday break diving back in. (And yes, I have a silly amount of the OG cards that lol never put in sleeves. They are shoved in boxes with my comics. The rest are in boxes that the kids rifle thru to build decks. We have a lot.)

[@rbu2136]

Just to clarify…I’m about 5 years out of the last time I was into MTG. I probably have a decent amount of very good cards but I know my 3 sons and 1 daughter have rifles thru all the boxes and made their own. I have about 6 good decks I’ve kept away from them but looking for something new and strong. Thanks for any ideas.

[@cedhtv]

I would recommend Najeela. If you like to play aggressive that is a good start. You will mostly pick up a lot of cEDH staples assembling and collecting cards for that deck. So if you change your mind your CEDH staples will just move to the next commander. Najeela is also a somewhat good intro commander in my opinion.

[@rbu2136]

Thank you. Looking her up.

[@jimmyb2655]

Kinnan is definitely A tier. It's lose rate is because people team up on it (as they should) and it gets hated off the table. The explosive power of kinnan is absolutely insane. Fill them with ramp and giant creatures, super easy to get infinite mana, super easy to draw your deck in these colors and just cast everything while being able to answer anything and everyting your opponents can possibly do to your boardstate. I love kinnan in cEDH. It's also the secret sauce in my Zaxara X-Spells deck.

[@xxxxxx-xc6qh]

is there like a chart or something for those who don't really recognize the art or can't tell the artwork?

[@cedhtv]

Hummm I guess I can do this in the future.

[@RagingPoo]

I see two main factors in why decks with higher entries have lower winrates and why decks with lower entries have higher winrates. Let's start with the decks that have lower entries. When your deck is a low percentage of the field, you have what I like to call the "rogue element". This applies in all magic formats, and what it means is that if I am playing a deck that only a few players are familiar with, then I have a clear and distinct advantage. This is especially true if the opponents are playing meta or stock lists, since I know their list and what they are capable of, while the opposite is not true. Essentially all people who brew against any meta are familiar with this concept. Lastly, there is a certain innate fortitude and knowledge gap between those who are willing and able to create a viable brew versus those that are bandwagonners. When you brew you have a thorough understanding of what the deck is aiming to do, and also which card choices and why given the particular meta. Decks that have a higher representation in the field are more often than not piloted by those who had no hand in brewing the deck in question. People who play stock lists rarely have the insight to know why each card is selected, and subsequently lack the knowledge to pilot the deck optimally. Another contributing factor is that the vast majority of players aren't capable of playing at an above average level. You would think that the average player would get an average win rate obviously. But the knowledge gap between the top 10% of players and a player who is sitting at exactly 50% is so large that it forces those "average" players into a distinctly below average category.

Can you make an ranklist for best casual Decks :)

[@bobthor9647]

How do you get 4 draws at a tournament?

[@cedhtv]

Tournaments has a time limit of 75 min or 90 min. And if it reaches that the game ends in a draw. and some decks are just to midrange to make the game end sometimes.

[@zeroisnine]

I feel like the data would be enriched if unique players was incorporated somehow.

[@cedhtv]

That is a possibility. I should also say that I do plan to make a video where I look at only the players with the best winrate and what cards they play. I do calculat player winrate and I do know "who is the best player in cEDH" (Sorry no spoilers). But the idea is to do similar videos like I have done before but only have players with 30% average winrate in it.

Sorry when I say games I say game entrys. Or tournament entrys. I should start saying things differently. Are you perhaps Eric Devaux. I would love to talk to you if you are and even do an interjuve video about this commander pair. You have played this commander 4 times in 4 different tournaments right? Oh one more thing. I am only looking at touranemnts with 64+ players. So bjorna and wernog has 25 tournament entrys if you count all. But I don't want to add touranamnets when the player count is to low.
