-
Ep. 41 - Can it be CEDH?
Whaddya mean Stangg isnt cedh?! The game moves fast, some would say too fast. Granted those that move fast tend to fumble to a fish or a rhystic so take it with a grain of salt. The ultimate question is: what makes a given card/deck/person/place/thing/noun/adverb/adjective worthy of the...

-
Ep. 36 - This is Not Legacy
But I wanna play 4 person legacy not cedh! One of the unique qualities about Cedh is the art of politicking. A very subtle way of guiding the table towards ones own end, but more than that its about communicating with the rest of your table and making sure that the table is communicating with…

-
Ep. 19 - Card Evaluation
No guys I swear Basking Rootwalla deserves a slot in the deck. One of the neat things about commander is having a hard limit to the maximum amount of cards a deck has. Naturally this make the competition for those slots very competitive and any given slot needs to be given a lot of thought. But...
-

Ep. 13 - Tournament & Round Structure
Everyone wants to ask what is the tournament structure, never how is the tournament structure. One of the rarely talked about aspects of Cedh and Tedh is the way a given event is structured. Is it 75 or 90 minutes? Additional turns? Byes? The inevitable heat death of the universe? Well maybe not...
-
Ep. 12 - The New Player Experience Ft. Kristian
Cedh? Haven't heard that name in years... For a lot of us in the trenches of Cedh it can be hard to remember where we all came from. Those early high power days have given way to fruitless stack battles over a Thoracle trigger, killing the stax piece and not winning and wheel pass. Today Atlas…

-
Ep.8 - Displacer?! I Hardly Know Her.
You see it too right? And it's gone, wait no its back again, scratch that it's gone once more. It looks like a giant cat with several spiked tails and it seems to be blinking in and out of reality but I couldn't get a good look at it. Maybe those two guys from Mana on the Rocks know a thing or…
more -
Ep. 7 - Do These Cards Fit in Cedh?
With so many new cards coming out these days, the main question on everyone's mind is how relevant are these new cards in today's game. With the bar to enter set so high already do battles have a place in Cedh? Can we break some new toys? Will we ever stop casting thoracle? Will Blue Farm stop...

Ep. 6 - Windows, Waiting and Winning
Hey do you see something outside the window? I can't quite make it out, it looks like the Mana on the Rocks boys, but I'm not sure. Maybe if we jam this Thoracle-Consult at the worst possible time for us it will draw whoever it could be out of hiding. Yeah right now while we are under the threat…
