No Tymna?! Four-Color cEDH Midrange | Competitive Commander Analysis
7 GIU 2024 · For years, high-color cEDH decks have had a go-to partner in the form of Tymna, the Weaver. It's easy to see why: she's cheap and she helps you draw more cards while giving you access to black and white. This week, John brings together our Lessons from cEDH for this the Arc of Sans-Red with the radical suggestion that not every Sans-Red deck needs Tymna at the helm, and maybe dorks *can* find a place in the Orcish Bowmasters metagame after all, with a little lateral thinking...

How Partners DEFINE cEDH | Competitive Commander Analysis
24 MAG 2024 · Commander was once defined by 2- and 3-color decks, but the printing of Commander 2016, enabled by the raw power of a manabase built on Fetchlands plus typed-dual lands created the conditions for one of the earliest cEDH metagames to take shape. Want to know how we arrived at a world dominated by Blue Farms and Sisays and Najeelas?

cEDH Thrasios / Tymna - HOT BREWS - Don't Call it a Comeback!
10 MAG 2024 · We've put this off long enough: cEDH is a metagame dominated by high-color decks, and this week, John sits down with Spleenface from Into the North, the Mindsculptors and Team Turn Three to discuss Spleen's latest take on a cEDH classic partner pair: Tymna / Thrasios. They say that everything old is new again, and Spleen has put a lot of effort into applying cards that may have had some initial hype that died down to *work* in this brew! If you miss the good ol' days of Razakats (or you're cEDH-curious and want to know what the heck "Razakats" is), then stay tuned!

Jeskai Midrange... Ad Naus?! - cEDH Decktech/Primer
11 APR 2024 · The conventional wisdom says that Breach decks can't play Grafdigger's Cage, arguably one of the most powerful stax pieces in the format.

(And a special *bonus* casual deck that this experiment inspired!).
