| 29 Mar 2024 | A Brief History of Jeskai - Lessons from cEDH | 00:23:56 | |
More Jeskai month! Jeskai has had some wild changes in cEDH over the past several years. Much of what informs the power of modern Jeskai decks in cEDH comes from a relatively short period of time that changed *everything* that players thought they knew about this color identity. So how does red changes the Azorius gameplan we all know so well?

| 11 Apr 2024 | Jeskai Midrange... Ad Naus?! - cEDH Decktech/Primer | 00:21:51 | |
The conventional wisdom says that Breach decks can't play Grafdigger's Cage, arguably one of the most powerful stax pieces in the format. But what if there was a deck that played like the lovechild of Razakats and Midrange Naus was raised by their weird uncle who only played Modern Eggs? That's how you get Jeskai Midrange Ad Naus!

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! 00:00 Introduction 01:52 Introducing Spleenface! 05:04 The Commanders 14:16 Strengths 17:07 Weaknesses 20:22 Gameplan 22:23 Unique Cards 30:04 Razakats 33:44 Playing the Deck 39:38 Mulligans 43:28 Winning the Game 46:04 Interaction & Protection 52:24 Matchups 57:47 Silences on Legs 01:02:03 Closing Thoughts mandercookout https://www.FusionGamingOnline.com Want a 5% discount off all of your MTG order?

| 24 May 2024 | How Partners DEFINE cEDH | Competitive Commander Analysis | 00:13:09 | |
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? Tune in to this week's episode as John dissects the design choices by Wizards of the Coast which created the modern cEDH metagame as we know it! 00:00 Introduction 02:38 High-Color Decks, Pre-2016 04:24 Partners Changed Everything 07:55 How Fetches Make Perfect Mana 09:55 Closing Thoughts https://www.FusionGamingOnline.com Want a 5% discount off all of your MTG order?

| 07 Jun 2024 | No Tymna?! Four-Color cEDH Midrange | Competitive Commander Analysis | 00:26:05 | |
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.
