[@DomhnallOConnmhaigh]

This tier list a bit whack

[@RRWR17]

Imagine putting Nadu in B tier when it literally got banned 3 months after being printed due to it being ridiculously op

[@TheGorillamilitia]

It wasn't because it was OP at all, it was non deterministic in that if it popped off it was no guarantee to win. Every top tier commander is different in that it can and does win on the spot with any assortment of combos.

[@FlawlessP401]

It was because it was annoyingly op not ridiculously op. If it won the game faster they'd leave it

[@taylor_m_237]

yeah i also really dont understand how Kenrith is 2 tiers above Jodah either. Best case scenario playing against Jodah is they cant get all their mana fixed in time. otherwise its just game

[@ysendy7027]

​@@TheGorillamilitianadu is definitely powerful, i played nadu in cedh and it was one of the top decks

[@sourkarambit5330]

Did you not read the ban reasoning? 😂 it literally said the combo takes too long and sometimes doesn’t even win. Its a waste of time

[@IIAnXii3TYII]

wouldn't Yuriko be S tier? its one of best CEDH commaders plus now with the bans its even better

[@cw5948]

Prior to the bans, Yuriko was not a top cedh commander. I do agree though she is stronger with the bans.

[@camerapunk4109]

I thought the same until i played against it in cedh and it does not fair well against the rog sai or tymna kraum. Even winota overpowered the yuriko player along with my kinnan. Against other lower powered cedh decks it will do great but it varies from game to game.

[@burntcircuits3574]

Think about a typical board state in a Yuriko game. Does the Yuriko player “win” when they play/ninjitsu Yuriko? Do I have to counter/remove Yuriko the first time it’s played or can it hit me twice and I can still be alive? Kin’n is a S tier because if he resolves the player most likely has infinite mana next and will start to draw their deck and try to win the game that turn. There should be no next turn with an S tier commander on this list.

[@wchenful]

Quite possibly - she's very strong but historically bad at closing out games. Definitely a big winner of the recent bans though.

[@etherxanthos]

Her tournament winrate is mid, and even with the bans, its hard for me to put her above b tier

[@aneleganthobo2715]

I have played nearly every one of these commanders at some point. Thinking to myself "this is cool, I bet these will make for fun decks". Then proceed to smear my opponents across the table, prompting me to disassemble the deck because no one was having fun. I love powerful commanders with unique effects, but in casual games they become so ridiculous that even I don't feel good playing them.

[@cosmogregster]

Just need to find the right play group

[@aneleganthobo2715]

@cosmogregster there are plenty of times I'm playing in high power games that I win, but the win was so easy or my turns took too long that I feel bad for playing the decks. It's nothing to do with who I play, it's what I play and how I play it that can make things feel unfun for myself and others.

[@reachSora]

That’s why you play them against other scrublords trying hard too, ya ain’t meant to whip your meat out against the pre cons

[@aneleganthobo2715]

@reachSora lol. Well, when I tested these commanders, I did it unaware of the power level of the decks, but no, I didn't play against pre cons when I did. I have played higher level decks against the people who do like to just throw their strongest deck at a table to crush people. I've even played those people, knocked them out and then proceeded to give the other players the win just to send that person a message.

[@reachSora]

@@aneleganthobo2715 *tips fedora* you are quite the competitor sir, may tables continue to fear your presence

[@TheRetroViking]

I also built an all curses deck with Kenrith .... It changes the game into a 2 vs 2 as you find someone at the table to team up with you as you curse the other 2 players

[@TheRetroViking]

I built a ''partner with'' deck with Jodah the unifier ..... The value you get ..... you play a legendary partner with X card ... jodah cascades ..... you put another ''partner with Y'' on the battlefield ... you grab those 2 partners to cast next turn .... it's crazy

[@CBuiscuit]

I have a sliver deck. And Sliver Overlord is miles ahead of the First Sliver. Without targeted removal, I run away with every single game I play with it. Training Grounds to 1 mana search for Morophon. Cast it, search for as many slivers as I have mana for, give them haste and tap for colors to keep growing my army and within 3 turns of Overlord and Morophon on the field: I have an army of 30/30 first strike, Lifelink, indestructible, vigilance, haste, flying, shroud, poisonous, mana dork, flash, can't be blocked or whenever dealt damage it deals that much to any player, and protection. While the First is really good, it doesn't even compare to the Overlord.

Given how popular and customizable Atraxa is I'm surprised she's not S B is too low for her

Even a budget Atraxa deck was too much for my casual playgroup. It’s definitely a S tier card

[@nael_luna]

@@craetondwyer6085 I stopped the video after that for this reason🤣 I mean, maybe I'm biased since she's been my first commander and with a few optimisations she's capable of winning locals by herself (as it happened a few times) but given how generically powerful proliferate is, B is blasphemy

[@mbarker_lng]

Agree with Sauron being a D. Maybe its just my group, but by time I can cast him I am usually on the defensive since the other players have already gotten combo pieces in play. The times I have, its "this is the final trigger for someone to board wipe" and its back to the command zone with a brutal 8 CMC to recast. Then its like, with 8 mana, there are better options in the 99 then recasting him.

[@rodrigoribeiro4122]

Winota C? It was a top cEDH commander while ago. Korvold kind died after dockside ban, Urza was out of the format for soooo musch time. K'rrik is problaby the fastest commander at cEDh there is, super fragile, but the fastest.

[@seanmaertens8483]

People with different opinions can move things around as they choose but I thought it is a pretty darn good list! The only thing I felt strongly about was the rating difference for Miirym versus Jodah. Jodah is much more pip intensive to get out even at 1 less total mana and has no protection while Miirym has ward 2. I can see an argument for picking Jodah because of his anthem ability but being harder to consistently cast and not having protection seems more relevant to me. Put them in the same tier together, whether you shift one up or the other down.

[@etherxanthos]

Atraxa is definately S tier, at least before bans, not sure if they would affect her placement, but pre bans she had an extraordinarily high win rate in cEDH tournaments. Also kenrith is extremely overrated.

Kenrith is a t1 cedh deck

[@etherxanthos]

[@ManrielXiii]

Tierlists are fun. Ignore the loud children commenting, this was great.

[@WizardLogic]

Aesi, Tatyova, and 4c Omnath definitely need to be on this list and probably in the A tier or even S tier. Idk how Tatyova fell out of the top 100, it is still one of the most popular commanders I randomly run into out in the wild alongside Queen Marchesa, and lands are the strongest card type in commander right now. Omnath alone probably deserves S tier with the other two falling into A since more colors means more land support.

[@felygu9268]

Kaalia of the Vast is still one of the most popular commanders according to EDHREC, but I have not seen anyone play her for 2 years in my lgs. Since there is not much data on edh games outside of cedh (tournaments), the format and opinions are highly subjective.

[@kazuallykunfuzed]

Not even close to S tier but I just want to mention that Roalesk, Apex Hybrid is probably my favourite of decks I've built.

[@Vorusen]

Knew urza was problem when someone made a bunch of treasure tokens and then just continued to tap them for free over and over bringing out crazy stuff for 5 mana every turn lol

[@josephhopkins2851]

Niv Mizzet in the c tier seems fair now without access to Jeweled Lotus and Dockside. He's definitely one of the better C tiers though.

[@kevintiemann6875]

Yuriko FTW!!! May not be the most powerful but still my favorite.

[@felygu9268]

Excuse me sir. The game designers called her a mistake - and not having to pay commander tax is sooo broken. Maybe she is not that good in cedh anymore, but for casual she is too busted. Removal against her is pretty much useless, and if you have luck with your draw she ends games too fast for my taste.

[@camerapunk4109]

Nadu was an s tier that was brutal for most casual decks unless you played cedh to hold it down. Korvold took a ruthless hit with the loss of dockside and jeweled lotus but it has other options to help out. Winota is the strongest boros commander out there. If built correctly it can become a menace. K’rrik deserves higher on how fast you can play it and combos you may be able to abuse early on. Other than that i like the list

[@Hapkins-le6xf]

Kind of surprised miirym is here and magda isn't. I guess miirym is more popular but magda sure feels stronger.

[@crestboygaming235]

[@Averyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

Bro putting Jetmir in C immediately made me lose faith in his judgement

[@Z-one1000]

The only commander on this list I own is K'rrik. And it is arguably my strongest deck (despite being somewhat budget under $100). I run like nine tutor type effects plus all the card draw makes the deck stupidly consistent. Perhaps not to the level a CEDH deck might be, but enough that my brother rarely wants to go up against it.

@@djomni115 that is still true, but dark ritual and sol ring still make it possible to go off really early. Not to the same consistency, but with what he is capable of, he deserves a higher ranking.
