[@CurryCommander26]

Imma be honest I think this kind of video is exactly what a lot of the cEDH community is looking for. If I was just starting to play cEDH this is what I would want to watch to play or see if I would like urza. Great video!

[@christopherbredeenlund3867]

I agree. Would love and appreciate so much more of this style of content

[@commanderpower99]

Agree as well. Would like to see more deck techs :) I play casual EDH as well and these videos help a lot for that too.

[@TonyCook7]

Could not agree more!!

[@oddball_covers]

Absolutely loving this style. Glad you took the interviewy style! Reflects your guys synergy as content creators and your synergies... as a deck

[@angelagrace8499]

I *love* how far Cam has come so far since this channel started. It seems like just yesterday he was a wide-eyed newcomer to the format and now he's a seasoned veteran, making his own versions of established decks with Urza and Ikra//Bruse Ya Snooze Ya Lose. So proud of him.

[@Gilschmidt89]

It’s 2024 how does Urza stack up today? Would love a follow up on Urza. Love the channel. Driving my wife crazy with how much I watch y’all 😂

[@geoffreygarfein9169]

Easily your channel is the best channel for CEDH. I have found many channels because of you guys! Keep up the good work!

[@aarongill5176]

I absolutely love and appreciate you putting all the commanders into separate playlists. It makes it so easy to go and find the commander you want to see in action, especially for new players who may be looking for a specific deck. If you guys could keep this updated as new games come out, this could be extremely beneficial and really cool

[@joshholmes1372]

100%

[@NewSchoolPOKERstrat]

That really is an amazing idea.. great thinking. Much appreciated 🖖

[@Pantuflein]

This is one of the most entertaining and informative deck tech videos I've seen! Love how dynamic is the conversation between you two and tons of things (like testing hands) that other channels don't do. Really appreciate it!

[@owen9662]

Just for public knowledge, isochron scepter + dramatic reversal generates infinite storm count as well, as the oracle text for isochron scepter says"cast" the copied spell, not "play" as some versions have it printed. Therefore, even with the ability to generate only 2 mana, you can generate infinite storm count and use brain freeze for infinite.

[@digmyownwhole]

Jesus yes. More of this. I have a hard time convincing my playgroup that CEDH isn’t the work of Satan, so deck techs like this that actually demystify the format and explain why it’s great (alongside your awesome gameplay content) go along way to helping with that. Otherwise keep up the great work guys; you’re fast becoming one of my most watched MTG channels and I only found you a couple of weeks back after you appeared on Kingdoms. :)

[@Xerro95]

By far my favourite EDH channel, let alone cEDH, you guys are super entertaining to watch, love the energy and dialogue you both bring. Would love to see a Winota deck tech, especially to better understand what I should look out for in opening hands

[@RandomCrappyName]

As someone that’s currently building Urza, this was a great resource and i really liked seeing this type of video. So many lists just jumped ship from Tidespout to Hullbreaker and i really liked Cam’s reasoning for just running both.

[@coleseaton3401]

I loved this deck-tech video. Sometimes I look at decklists and can only see a couple lines. But this fully explains all possible lines and the thought process behind the deck's mulligan. Just what I want to see.

[@robertbauerle5592]

Instead of doing timetwister loops for infinite birds you can always just use one of the tyrant loops to bounce and recast urza over and over to make infinite constructs instead

[@natethegreat6490]

infinite infinite/infinite constructs

[@matthewrobert1810]

Love the videos guys. I have never bought merch from a channel in my life, but here I am ordering a playmat. Keep it up!

[@MrSDCHARGRS]

This is a fantastic summary and analysis of a commander in the cedh meta. If you feel comfortable tackling another one in the future, don't hesitate!

[@michaelkurtz9061]

The depth you guys go into is greatly appreciated. I'd love to see more deck techs!

[@TheG4urdian]

Loooove this style of video and would really like to see more it doesn't matter what it is I just want to see more videos like this! You guys did an amazing job of doing a deep analysis of the deck, the playstyle, card choices etc etc while keeping it very authentic and like a real conversation rather than just essentially reading off a primer Fantastic job guys!

[@orsettomorbido]

Of course we'd love more deck techs! You touched all the important points I think (also the specific cards for a specific deck), you are captivating when you speak and techs are useful.

[@curiouschao1]

Cameron’s “oh wow” had me spit out my drink 😂😂

[@LPchief]

nice vid! great information on the deck! that editing on 18:02 was sick.

[@pixeldemon3267]

These types of videos are what are needed in the format. And for EDH in general there isn't enough to explain the lines and ways to wins

[@chainer07]

Yes please. This was wonderful and very informative. My one note would be to show the card on the side so we can read it while you’re discussing.

[@jonathanmooney8538]

Cam and I are on the same page! My CEDH Urza wasn't the polymorph build but I pulled hullbreaker horror and took it as a sign. Proteus staff should be here today or Monday. Y'all came out with this at the perfect time for me

[@nickculotta1997]

Legitimately exactly what I have been looking for in this channel. I’m new to cedh and this helps explain a little bit more of what you guys are doing and how they interact with the rest or your deck/the table. I would love to see either a K’rrick, Son of Yawgmoth or a Yawgmoth, Thran Physician tech.

[@cartoonnetwork176]

I’d love to see you guys do this with Jeska/Dargo “JDarg” seeing as it’s a deck one of you already has built. Stick with the mono-colored theme as well lol.

[@r3dsangaming901]

I was about to say this same thing just because I love mono red

[@brahmaheitz2906]

I love Urza! I have been playing urza as my main for years. Urza is imo deceptively one of the hardest decks to play though. Not only is the deck ill positioned but it is combining the two hardest archetypes, stax and control. I would like to personally thank you for bringing some new attention to urza, but I would also like to kindly notify your audience that this list is very sub optimal. If anybody has more questions regarding optimized urza please visit the urza server and we would be more then happy to chat.

[@arthurg9822]

What the Urza server ? server where ? I'd love to learn more since I'm a fairly recent urza player !

[@MJkakashi]

@@arthurg9822 if you go on the cEDH database...the Discord Server for Urza is listed there.

[@MareczqZglos]

So what list is optimal in yours opinion ?:)

[@jordanhodge9541]

OMG i LOVED this episode! epically the stuff at the back end of the video explain what kind of hands you would keep because thats sometimes where i struggle

[@framzelgranada9088]

Yoooo. I just discovered your channel and stumbled upon this video. I have been wanting to learn more about cEDH and although I've watched so many gameplay videos from other channels, I have to say this video is by far my favorite! I'm definitely subscribing. The analysis, explanations, justifications, the testing; incredible content! Please keep pumping these types of videos! Y'all are awesome!

[@hwaza]

Bros your style is awesome, keep up the good work because this is 100% the best cEDH yt channel!

[@DarknessChampion]

Really well thought out with nice explanations. Only improvement I would like to offer is adding the card images on screen so we don't have to pause and look up unfamiliar cards as we watch. Thanks for the great content!

[@Omnivxrse]

The "Begin" kills me every times🤣

[@rainyjacktheepic]

I’d love to see a deck tech on advantage Thrasios soon. I’m particularly interested in your thoughts about the Temur version you guys have been playing versus the sans white/sans black/Kenrith versions. Not sure how practical this is, but I think it’d be sweet to put in some 30 second clips of a busted turn/interaction from some gameplay to highlight the things you are talking about. Thanks for the great content, keep up the great work!

[@countbeckula]

Ditto on all the comments asking for more content like this. Great job! Additionally, and while it might conflict with the pure ethos of “playing to win,” I’d love to see your take on some marginal commanders and strategies in cEDH. Perhaps even optimizing some lower tier commanders, e.g. Selenia, Vorel, etc. Trying to get decks to a power level of 8 or 9 if 10 just isn’t possible. But yes, more of this would be really dope. Thanks.

[@maxsternburg1956]

One of my favorite videos you've ever made. An idea for the steam, since you were talking about people watching gameplay videos for their preferred commanders, is there a way you would be able to play some games where the viewers are able to see your hands so we can know what you have and how you are playing with the cards you currently have access to in each situation. Thanks!

[@judaheubanks9573]

This is some really awesome new content from you guys. Easily my favorite channel for all things MTG related now, and I'm so glad you guys are starting to gain some recognition!! Also, I don't know if this is one of your decks or not, but if you could do a deck tech on the Krark/Sakashima deck, that would be really fun and awesome!

[@chasesimmons3053]

I love playing both of the polymorph targets. I feel like it gives you so much more resilience to interaction. Great tech Cam

[@StackedEDH]

those coins are Krark approved! (also: I ran Urza for ≥1 year and I really loved it. Cursed Totem and Linvala were always a bit of a pain!)

[@ChuckimusPRIME88]

This is the best deck tech I've seen.

[@nightreaper006]

Loved this video style we want more now😁...you guys got me to build my first Cedh deck and I've built midrange chulane... hopefully he'll get a similar deck tech in the future 😜..keep up the good work guys

[@slowmo56]

Great video format! Going over opening hands is a nice exercise.

[@bundung123]

I'm thinking of building blood pod as my first cEDH deck. would love to see a deck tech on it. Keep up the great work :))

[@mandielyn0416]

This is my only CEDH deck and the printing of hullbreaker horror really helps with the polymorph disruption.

[@JVCIstvan]

Amazing content, can't express enough how gratefull I am. Urza is a perfect Commander to start Cedh. However I noticed that u guyz never played Edric (maybe once), which is also a really good Cedh commander and my personal favorite. I would love to see Camaron killing everyone with his smile and uplifting funny style 🤣 Remember when I started to play magic I was looking for 5tix deck a year ago and I was laughing about the deck how weak it seemed. Bunch of 1/1 and I just laughed. Now a year later, its a totally different Story 🙂 Edit: there are 4 Edric games. Thanks the Commander specific playlist 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@zakmarcus6222]

This is great content. Love to hear your thoughts on cEDH. I'd like to see a Blood Pod deck tech.

[@EisenherzMTG]

The linked list has 101 cards in it. You need to cut smth. I'd suggest Tidespout, Shredder, Basalt, Rings or Trail.

[@robertsmith1905]

I agree I run none of these since I’ve cut them all for better options. I would remove trail or rings if they only choose one.

[@NewSchoolPOKERstrat]

More deck techs please!! I understand they take less effort to make and I enjoy them so much more than game play. I know I’m not alone when I say I like set reviews and deck techs far more than game play. Great video.. keep them coming please. We seem to be in a cedh content slump atm so I bet this is an opportunity to get a lot of views too 🤷‍♂️. I would think

[@ayllipkhieu8659]

I love that you guys do a few test hands so we know what to look for and what to think

[@LemorasCards]

Every time yall upload you build your case more and more as being the best Magic content creators.

[@AndrewCreswell]

I think worth noting for the shuffle effects is that if you have a wheel available(or targeted draw for some reason) you can mill repeatedly until the titan is the last card before casting a wheel. Shortcutting allows you to do this in atimely manner because eventually, that card will be the last card in the library.

[@Tombery23]

Love the format, also that you made playlists for every commander. Nice!!! Btw finally got my hands on one of your playmats. Can't wait :D

[@Flip4Crypt]

You work so fucking hard on all of this channel and it's incredible. Breaking down each of the videos into playlists is fucking phenomenal and so helpful Thank you guys for all the content put out! Also, let's not forget the classic Icy Drain combo of Isochron and Mana Drain on your own shit

[@danilorabino3893]

guys you are fantastic, I would also watch 20 videos a day of yours, greetings from Italy!

[@magnetic_heart]

Would love to see more of these!! Dek keep doing your own groups decks, but would love to either know or eventually get to what you consider the pillars of the format.

[@mordamen]

This was a ton of fun! I'd personally love to see your take on Elsha and i'm sure Flash, I or any of the other Elsha primer authors would absolutely love to talk to you about it beforehand if you'd be interested in it!

[@swat6591]

One recommend is that when you go over the combos then do it with the cards and have the overhead view. I can follow but one of my friends didn't understand what Dylan was trying to explain at all.

[@nickvanschaick6322]

Y'all missed that Static Orb has the Continuous Artifact clause too!

[@qodoqeoqeoq]

Wowza what a great playlist! Have a great year for you guys! Easily the best edh channel!

[@derekharris3338]

the playlist idea is AWESOME! Thank you for doing that!

[@Blueyoutoo1245]

Love it. Having tried a bunch of these I prefer an artifact storm list with dramatic reversal and other generic infinite mana into thoracle. The fun combo in the deck with artifact storm is paradoxical outcome into fluster storm bounce all opponents permanents as they get staxed out. The scoop method lol

[@christianwilkerson3624]

easily the best video you guys have ever done. absolutely love this type of video

[@Arcdemon44]

Amazing video! I would love to see a Kroxa deck tech with your brilliant minds. I have been piloting a cedh Kroxa breach deck for over a year now and I absolutely love the deck, but your input and tech would be invaluable.

[@irt3hsaint]

As an unashamed Urza main, this is such a good video to see. Thanks guys!

[@dylanpruitt4814]

Wicked style video. Love it a ton. Would love to see Tana/Tymna Pod that Dylan plays often!

[@letsclimb5828]

Best edh tech channel on KZbin. Thanks guys.

[@mattiavenier3898]

Loved the video! Would love to see more of these, really well done guys good job!

[@DrStickmanPHD]

Loved the vid, would love a video on Jeska Ishai because its my favourite deck on this channel.

[@Xileph410]

I agree Jeska/Ishai is a great deck I love seeing and playing it.

[@drewhoffmaster2969]

This content is great! I'd love to see videos like this for Blood Pod, Gitrog, Kinnan, and some flavor of ad naus--maybe Ikra-Kraum & Ikra-Bruse.

[@benkoehn8402]

Love the video Even now it holds up The only thing I’d like to see more is the camera on the cards for a little bit longer so I can build along side The cards flash on the screen for a second then it’s back to faces haha

[@SorryImissedThat]

Really dope video. I'm a huge fan of deck techs. Gives great insight as to what you guys are thinking when building plus an idea as to what your meta is like

[@acesblue123]

Yes! Please do more vids like this. This was very informative and Awesome 👏 Thank You!

[@melon_hvh]

I built Urza when it came out and am so happy to see it still in the cedh meta. Good vid!

[@fluffylegend294]

I’d love to see more techs for sure!! Thanks, as always, for all the great content guys 😁

[@TheMoxLord]

Wonderful video! This is the deck i play so nice to see another take on it.

[@Jfeldhake]

Love this deck tech format. Super informative while keeping it entertaining. Keep up the good work!

[@Lyricaon]

Love this style of video! Would be glad to see more of it.

[@justinveron698]

Awesome Urza deck tech! I would like to see a deck tech for Winota Snowball Stax!

[@64lundyco]

No time soon but I think a version of this for Godo in a few months would be cool. The deck has been slowly accumulating some great tech while everyone has just been looking at as naus and midrange lists

[@facelessgames94]

Good to see some love for the depletion lands. Amazing if your goal is to get commander out and dominate, or if you dabble in proliferate

[@johnmarcellino5034]

Excellent content! Would love to see more of this kinda stuff. You guys rock!

[@alexfurler9606]

Loving the video idea. Could you do one for first sliver food chain? It Would be nice to hear more opinions on why things are played and why others aren't usually included.

[@Yamasukii]

Love the type of this video! Let's talk trough more decks guys!

[@joshholmes1372]

You guys deserve way more subs. I saw you win with urza on commander clash.

[@jniteshade5352]

Really enjoy your deck tech. I'm a casual player but have been slowly powering up my Jhoira storm to be able to play at near cEDH. Got a few ideas for combos or artifacts for that deck from this video.

[@carboncuber3147]

I remember playing against my friends Urza deck with my Kinnan deck. They played I think it was a t1 Trinisphere followed by a t2 Urza. I thankfully went first, so I was able to ramp my t1 and play my commander t2. On my t3, I dropped an Oko and elked their Urza. At that point they were more or less out of the game because of their own Trinisphere whereas I was fine because I had Kinnan and a few dorks and rocks in play. I was quickly able to convert it to a win within a couple of turns protecting their Trinisphere from themselves.

[@CodiTC]

Keep the deck techs coming! Love this

[@vincenthiggins5226]

Yes please! More deck techs!

[@styfen]

The Mercadian Masques depletion lands across the board (except for probably the green one) deserve more respect than they get. They're pretty incredible in any deck that's looking to power something out on turn two in a format where things can be over very quickly (Sandstone Needle in Godo is the classic example). And you guys were close with the pronunciation, it's Sah-prazz-un Skerry.

[@cassandrasibley228]

A card I've been very happy with in the removal package is Suspend (also delay). They're usually catch-alls because the games rarely go long enough after casting them for them to come back

[@newlybricked]

Would love to see Tyler's kinnan deck, been wanting to build him for awhile and watching him play it inspired me to save up and build him to a cedh level.

[@melissalutherpendragon]

Loving these deck techs! Would love to see Najeela and Gitrog.

[@vilestride335]

I 100% need more of these. Please do two tymna's next!

[@MaximilianoEmanuel.]

Love the content and these videos so much information all the love for you guys from Argentina. Love your channel c:

[@WhatWouldBojackDo]

I love these deck tech videos, then again, I love all your videos

[@curiouschao1]

This was amazing! Would love to see more. Started earlier and came back to finish it. Just ruined 2 of my buddies’ night by pointing out the butt plug islands while we were playing 😂😂😂

[@kamikazechicken8794]

I'd love to see y'all do this same thing with Najeela.

[@TonyCook7]

You gyus should have way more subscribers. This content is amazing.

[@joelhammitt8914]

Absolutely amazing! Love the deck deck so much. I just started cedh and love toxrill. Would love to see a deck tech on that slug and what you guys think about it

[@MCcreeperlover123]

This is sick. Is it possible to see you guys do Najeela next ?

[@frankdetank9126]

Another great video! I really enjoyed this and hope you make more of these videos. Also, 'cause I kind of have to at this point, can I suggest a video on the best enchantress deck in cEDH?

[@TopLevelJiuJitsu]

Playlists are straight fire 🔥. Great work

[@jannamcjanna6802]

Would love to see any deck tech tbh, I enjoyed this video a lot.
