If you’re somebody who’s been playing a lot of Commander but see your decks getting increasingly more powerful and competitive as your game knowledge and deckbuilding skills improve, it may be time to consider swapping to this sub-format.

While cEDH players want to win and will do anything to get there regardless of fun level, they’re not monsters who hate happiness.
#CEDH DATABASE HOW TO#
cEDH is not meant for newer players who have yet to learn and understand the complexities of the stack, how various interactions work, or how to sequence infinite combos.ĭespite sounding extremely scary, cEDH is a very friendly and open format, at least in my experience. Who is cEDH for?ĬEDH is a format meant for competitive players who are experienced in the world of both Magic as a game and Commander as a format. Since EDH is meant to be a casual format, these high-power decks and strategies have been grouped into their own category so that players know what they’re getting into and don’t get run over. Commander has a wide variety of cards available which makes a long list of combos and styles that are generally “unfun” or overwhelmingly powerful. There aren’t any official WotC rules for cEDH so there’s still some room for rule 0-type changes at your local game store. cEDH is known for having much more cutthroat playstyles and strategies that almost always revolve around an infinite combo to win the game. Your deck can be reviewed at any point between its submission and the deadline.Swan Song | Illustration by Peter MohrbacherĬEDH, or competitive Elder Dragon Highlander, refers to a sub-format of the popular Commander format that’s specifically targeted towards competitive cards, decks, and players.
