@kyuuri117 Nobody cares and asked for a clarification on real sideboards and i understand how they work..., and I already explained my view on it and how it works for me personally as not a real thing and it is again further explained in my posts and primer so what are you on about?

Is Jodah, Archmage Eternal on this list yet? If not, what tier is he?

Kiyomei lol i wasnt even talking to you. You mentioned that you were doing a casual sideboard for fun, great. I was clarifying for the people who tried to explain how actual sideboarding in edh works, who didnt know what they were talking about. Chill.

I'd like to propose Ayli's Death and Friendship as the deck for Ayli since it's a tuned and optimized storm version of the current listed deck. Only taking into account the cmc of each deck, the difference is considerable (2.04 vs 1.29) which is extremely important on a Ad Nauseam deck.

I see that Jodah, Archmage Eternal isn't on the list. I'd like to have you consider this list before making your evaluation. It is BRUTAL in games large or small.

Will Poison-Tip Archer see any play at all? im highly doubting it since its an overcosted zulaport cutthroat but i want a community opinion since it may work as redundancy

Athraithe: I thought Blood Artist was the backup to Zulaport Cutthroat. Poison-Tip Archer is cute anti-zur tech, but it seems too expensive.

gkilgore98: Your list is missing quite a few cards which should probably be in there. Mox Diamond is a must, especially with your high land count. Cultivate should be Nature's Lore or at least Farseek. Birds of Paradise in a 5 colour deck is a no-brainer, as is Deathrite Shaman. Necropotence is super good. Nature's Claim should definitely be in the deck, as should Swords to Plowshares at a minimum. Relying entirely on sorcery speed effects seems dangerous against combo decks. No Vampiric Tutor seems silly. Timetwister is a good way to reload your hand and get back dead walkers.

Will you guys be adding in legendaries from recent sets? Been waiting for Dom and Battlebond. Specifically I'm curious where Najeela, the Blade-Blossom will sit on the tier list.

enpc says... #12

Polar2897/Everybody else who has been asking: there are only three people who have permission to update the list here. Of those three, none of their accounts are showing recent activity (ranging from one month to one year).

I'm sure we will get something resolved however until either one of those users shows activity or somebody else gets added to the list management, people will just have to sit tight and be patient. I know people are keen to see where each commander falls on the list, however it is important to remember that this list is an output and doesn't actually affect a commander's playability.

Low-key_loki says... #13

enpc Is there any chance they will add more people to the list?

July 4, 2018 1:41 a.m.

enpc says... #14

Low-key_loki: That I do not know. One of them would have to log in and add a user to the edit list. If they've been inactive for a while then this could be an issue. I'm sure if it goes on too much longer an alternative solution can be sorted out (worst case scenario the list has to get rebuilt - I am in no way recommending this). We will just have to wait and see.

Polar2897 says... #15

enpc Someone could easily take over if that was the goal. It would just take a bit of time to get people to go to that list instead of this one. Just copy the deck over.

Zenaku17 says... #16

Polar2897 I’m honestly surprised no one has done that yet.

Kiyomei says... #17

would be great so everyone can go QQ over there about their commander not being in the right opinion tier haha...

I think the first line of action would be to see if any of them are contactable via one of the cEDH channels (discord, the cEDH Reddit, etc).

If that's not viable, I would say the next step is talk talk to YeaGO and see if he's happy to manually add a user to the edit list. I can understand that this might not be something he would want to do though and might not want to set precedence on the topic. But if he's ok with it, it would be the best fix me thinketh.

The LAST option would be to copy the deck list. But it would be a shame doing that as a lot of time and effort has gone into this one and a lot of people reference it.

As a side note (woo, double post) I was thinking about combo packages for Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim and came up with the idea of Ayli + Vizkopa Guildmage + Wall of Blood. You can double activate guildmage's ability to if you need to hit higher life totals than yours, or use Children of Korlis to keep the mana cost down. Thoughts?

Paying life and lifelink doesn't work

merrowMania says... #21

@griffstick - Activate Guildmage's second ability twice. Activate Wall of Blood X times. Sacrifice Wall to Ayli's first activated ability. Result: Each opponent loses 2(X+2) life.

Hey guyz! I have been away for some time, stuff happened in my life, but now I should have some spare time to update this list a little more! I would like to know if anyone here (regular people aroud here) was interested to be added as a mod on this list to help me edit and revamp the list to make it better and more accurate.

Just write a comment here tagging me if interested, you can also PM me if you want. I would like to turn this into a list better suited to truly reflect cEDH meta, and I already started some work with the labmaniacs to reconfigure the way the decks are sorted. Anyone interested in helping me can either tag me or pm me and I will be happy to add new mods here!

I don't think you have the insight or knowledge for that and I would rather see this list removed, or have this "tier" list link to another list with multiple versions of the "cedh commanders" without a "tier" to represent this opinion list...

For example instead of zur on here linking to a specific list, let it link to another list where you can only find zur decks in the description with some small info about what it plans to do so you at least show all viable options instead of one that runs specific meta things like grim and power artifact because he suffers too stax a lot...

for example shimmer/doomsday/control/etc/etc... with all the top versions in it...

and have a link to all those lists with perhaps some weaker ones too but for a more casual audience or some "meme" versions whilst still promoting proper playable decks...

I'm working on a derevi list atm with a lot of good versions, so perhaps it's better to find specific people who would want to do this non-biased about their own deck not being on there...
