The cEDH Episode w/ Higher | Extra Turns 46 | Magic: The Gathering Commander Gameplay

[@robertwatson4840]

When they were announcing their commander choices I audibly laughed when higher said he was playing Kinnan. Clearly they saw how that ends up.

[@lurker398]

Honestly what a miss, top tier commander vs Winota which is B tier vs Slicer which is fringe but viable vs Teferi which is super fringe. Higher has the strongest commander backed up by metagame knowledge. Everyone complaining about the other 3's threat assessment but Higher employing the "coy cedh" persona against complete noobs doesn't help. I'm sure Josh and Jimmy wanted to figure out their own deck but there should have been a Blue Farm value pile.

[@benbarclay4239]

@@lurker398 having seen Higher in a bunch of different cEDH content, what you may assume is him being coy is just him genuinely trying to teach and explain things thoroughly. Dude seems incredibly nice. Agreed tho the deck selection is weird, with Kinnan being the only meta deck at the table and not a lot of the core of cEDH being represented.

[@lurker398]

​@@benbarclay4239 No hate to Higher! His actions are appropriate for cedh. It just clashed with the "show" given that (1) the other 3 have zero understanding so his "redirections" seem contrived (2) notice how Jimmy helps out DJ with his Phyrexian Revoker. The optimal action is for Jimmy to be quiet and let DJ misplay but Jimmy wanted to be helpful since both of them are unfamiliar.

[@salem326]

​@@lurker398 Yeah, overall similar thoughts and feelings here, more so in regards to Josh & Jimmy's decks, both of which were lower class cEDH decks, Winota at least sees more play than those two. Most surprised we didn't see any UBx decks, or Foodchain decks, while Kinnan is deservedly a menace, there are decks that can hang with him, which just weren't chosen to be played. Strange decision! anyways, love the game overall regardless.

[@ianmoore059]

Yeah, I also chuckled as soon as I saw Kinnan

[@Aleikie]

YESSS If you guys ever play this format again It would be great to see an episode with the guys from PlayToWin 😄

[@WorldWideWolberts]

Adding to what is already said: Cam and Dylan from Play to Win next please. Best cEDH KZbin channel imo.

[@SmugLookingBarrel]

It's absolutely fantastic to me that there's a CEDH-viable mono red aggro deck. Slicer is *terrifying*

[@Helixcards]

The deck also runs stax that's available in the colour

[@TonyScimeca]

Magda (the kaldheim one) is arguably even more powerful than slicer. And Godo is old but still terrifying

[@Rizso1]

Magda is one of the strongest decks in cedh. its way stronger than slicer.

[@SpicyPlay]

I’m a mono red cEDH player. Magda is arguably better. BUT!!!! Slicer is so damn fun. If you’re new to cEDH slicer is a great first deck

[@Red_Mag3]

Slicer is my goto when I choose violence, stax is great but honestly turn 1 Slicer is always the goal. Don't give your opponents more draws then possible stax them out when Slicer is online.

[@jamesgorospe990]

I loved “my whole ass hand” and higher just responding just the same dumbfounded. This episode is probably one of my favorites from this entire series

[@green_dragon_knight]

I’m not a huge fan of CEDH but it’s nice for Extra Turns to be able to show off the diversity of ways to play Commander, and the episode is lots of fun 😊

[@crazymexicanoloco]

I am now adding "my whole ass hand" to my edh vocabulary.

[@LifeHacksMP]

It was so sad and hilarious 😂

[@daguynexdoor]

This was a lot of fun watching the casual players play cedh and learn the nuances between the two variations of edh. I'd love to see some more content like this

[@Halophile95]

Don't get me wrong, love the content Josh and Jimmy put out. It's just kinda funny watching them get so concerned about plays from Higher and the misplaced threat assessment. Comes with being new to the territory of cEDH I guess.

[@rbasara1]

They definitely panicked that second game after he won so smoothly that first game

[@ethanr1247]

They attacked the player who had the most experience, proved they could combo off out of nowhere (Kinnan was on board for most of the game), and also, most importantly, had already lied/broken a deal the previous game. If someone is willing to lie and immediately break a deal, that shows they can't be trusted. Josh and Jimmy targeted Higher the second game, despite his protestations, because, as they even said in the show, they couldn't trust what Higher was saying. And for good reason considering Higher wasn't being entirely truthful about what he said the second game, either. It's not bad threat assessment to assess the threat of a player's skill and trustworthiness over the board state. DJ was more threatening on board, but Higher's behavior and plays showed he was more threatening in every other regard. Moral of the story: don't lie and break deals. Even in cEDH, that's shitty and only earns you distrust for all future games.

[@drake11011]

@@ethanr1247 yeah that deal was a bit iffy, but jimmys deal was that he would pump slicer if higher attacked dj, so i guess technically he just didnt attack him and jimmy didnt pump

[@Halophile95]

​@@drake11011 Exactly, at no point did he agree he would attack Josh and only Josh. Forcing someone to use their interaction is commonplace in EDH, and Josh and Jimmy have done that on multiple occasions.

[@benbarclay4239]

@@ethanr1247 that was hardly a deal, both parties said 'maybe', and also Higher made the play that was best for the table. He knew Josh could bounce Slicer which helps everyone. Unfort Jimmy had the redirect.

[@voltcorp]

this was very fun but also very illustrative of what a "power 9~10" pod actually looks like

[@STIPanda]

No, thers power 9-10 and then there is CEDH. 9-10 are what most CEDH players would call "Fringe decks" they can hang in there but arent going to see many victories.

[@voltcorp]

@@STIPanda you're free to use words as you like, but the mainstream use of the power levels is not like this. power level 10 = cEDH was there in the first blog posts about power level decades ago

Higher wasn't obsfucating the truth or trying to deceive you. He was right to say that giving him a draw off the ring would have given him a possible out against DJ. He also wasn't expecting jimmy to change targets (especially to a kinnan that was already pithed.

Interesting choice for the pod make-up. I understand wanting avoid more meta lists with perhaps harder to grasp combos like Blue Farm and a Breach line, or Atraxa with Food Chain. Saying this since Winota isn't really meta anymore and although Teferi has won CCU twice, it's still a fringe deck. There were some others like Tivit, Sisay, Kenrith, Tayam, TevKraum which could have been played here as well but in the future perhaps?! (No Black pod is VERY interesting too, no AdNaus, good tutors, etc.) Either way, very happy and excited to see cEDH on this channel.

[@nikhilchhagan7371]

I feel like $100 cedh doesn’t actually capture the essence of the format all that well. Also, the cedh community is probably the single most proxy friendly community in all of mtg

[@MFobes]

Seconded 100 dollars means you’re playing in the spirit of cedh but not truly the format. Proxies are fine I want to play against a deck not a wallet. But if I bring my 5k kinnan I will feel a bit bad blowing a 100 dollar slicer out of the water.

[@mikotagayuna8494]

@@nikhilchhagan7371 As much as the cEDH community is proxy friendly, there are also people who prefer playing without them. cEDH is a mindset, not a format and a $100 limit helps in variety and more satisfying game duration. There may be broken cards but they can be kept in check by lacking card quality in other areas. Besides, the fast games would not suit the length and style of videos that the Command Zone prefers to make.

[@mikotagayuna8494]

@@MFobes cEDH is not a format. It is just Commander with a different mindset. The $100 limit is meant to instill creativity and variety as well as a control over broken cards by forcing players to consider the pros and cons of running them when they still need to worry about the quality of the rest of their cards.

[@nikhilchhagan7371]

@@mikotagayuna8494 that’s the thing though, cedh isn’t about creativity or expression. It’s about playing the absolute most optimal deck possible. You have to understand that playing a budget deck in a competitive format is inherently losing some competitive edge, which is not in the spirit of the format. Even if you did want to try to do budget for fun while still maintaining the CEDH philosophy, $100 is way too low considering most CEDH decks are 30-50 times that

[@IVISMiLESIVI]

This was a great episode. When I first got into commander I hated cEDH and wanted nothing to do with it. But after giving it a try I realized it can be very fun. I will always remember my first cEDH commander Ruric Thar who has a special place in my heart. It was great seeing Jimmy pilot Slicer. It is just so cool that a mono red voltron commander is viable in cEDH. Also for those who think cEDH is only for the rich it is not. Yes optimally the fast mana pieces like mana crypt and the moxes are expensive but you can make cEDH budget decks believe it or not. I made a $100 Malcolm keen eyed navigator/Kediss emberclaw familiar deck and came in 2nd place at my local LGS cEDH tournament. And who knows, you may make a deck you truly love and want to build up with those more expensive pieces over time. But don't think you have to shell out hundreds of dollars at once to enjoy cEDH.

Winota has been a dead deck for a while. Kinda like 6 cmc Narset. Too good for casual, but not really seen in Cedh anymore. Also Slicer was a deck for a few months. Then faded.
