This commander deck is fucking absolute GARBAGE! First off Proginitus isn't a very good commander. He's 5 color you will never play him. Secondly its just all legendary creatures. Terrible, Terrible this commander deck is. Worst Proginitus edh deck ever.

i nominate chulane as completely overpowered cause chalupas are tasty and no edh deck should have access to chalupas in the command zone

Scion of the Ur-Dragon doesn't have a competitive list, seems like it could be a good Worldgorger deck since it can fetch the dragon himself into your graveyard.

What are we predicting for Ranking of C'19 offerings?

Personally I'm most excited for Volrath for Nefarious non-cEDH reasons. Tier 3 at best?

I know the C19 commanders aren't legal yet but I've spent a long time brewing K'irrik; I believe my list is competitive and has the ability to either win fast or grind people out. If you guys could take a look and evaluate it that'd be super cool.

That and these combos convince me how lethal Scion of the Ur-Dragon .

Even though Commander 2019 has not come out yet, I think we should just playing with formalities and just get it over with and put K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth into the maximum power tier. XD

In hulk piles, do combo pieces like Nomads en-Kor , Cephalid Illusionist and Laboratory Maniac have any use outside of the combo or are they dead draws?

I am incredulous about the placement of Trostani, Selesnya's Voice , Sen Triplets , and Slimefoot, the Stowaway in regards to one another. I personally own all three as edh decks and I find Slimefoot, the Stowaway to be the strongest of the three. It’s the only one where the commander actually has a partial wincon/combo wrapped up in it. Not sure how I would propose reranking them but I do want to put those feelings forward.

Generals are not exactly all perfectly equal within their own tiers, but I would agree that there's probably a case to be made for a "discount Ghave" in high power. Infinite mana + Blood artist + sac outlet doesn't seem too far off what ghave is doing.

Hello, I'd like to share with you a deck I've been working on for some time (since April 2018).

KCI Teshar: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/primer-kci-teshar-cedh/

I know many will not even spend 1 minute reading the primer or even understanding how the deck works, but in short it is based on recursive loops like KCI decks in other formats, with the great differential that our commander enables a series of combos given his excellent ability.

For many, what puts the deck in check is the fact that it is a Mono White, and therefore has vital flaws that make any competitive deck in that color impossible. For many what is lacking is empirical evidence of its functionality, and even though I have won some local cEDH tournaments, that would not be a solid argument, so I decided to register 100 goldfishes from the deck: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vXcMdM1XaQguYkPciBvoV2NQIj1NkutJ-E4-Y6iZmtw/edit?usp=sharing

The starting hands, number of mulligans and the winning turn were recorded. The average turn for victory was 4.1. 29% of wins up to turn 3, 70% of wins up to turn 4 and 92% of wins up to turn 5. I believe there is still room for improvement. With this data, I think we could at least consider a fringe strategy, and it's position in this Tier Lists should be re-evaluated. For sure it isn't a Mid Power strategy. Competitive (I really believe in that) or at least, High Power.

I invite other members to test the deck and ask other Teshar pilots to share their data and results as well, if possible.

Thanks for your time!

I feel like Anje worldgorger is worthy of competitive. Although you have to play bad cards, those bad madness cards aren't going to be played they are used in order to filter into worldgorger dragon in a unique way that other commanders can't really do. The uniqueness of her rumaging ability allows for some pretty crazy digging and can pull off turn 3-5 wins consistently. List - http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/anje-filter/

I brewed up and played a couple of matches with Jodah and so far I've been having solid results with him. This is the list

I also have a list for Inalla, which, imo, is at least a t2 commander

Here is an example of “discount ghave” being more than tier 4. She is at least tier 3 if not a tier 2 built well. This list is done with a large budget restraint too...a quick search can find some “budget free” Slimefoot lists that I believe are a hard tier 2 for speed and ability to combo to a win

I think they should give Marwyin's list a chance, which is nothing less than a savage bush competitively. The deck wins in the same ways and works even faster.

This list has been very helpful in tuning my commanders and also planning new decks to have quality commanders. But when will we be getting an update for Commander 2019? I know a few commanders are getting spotlighted quite a bit but I'd like to know where the rest of the possibilities stand.

ShaperSavant says... #22

Hello all! Here's our update for C19.

Competitive

High

Mid

Explanations:

Anje Falkenrath

Anje is a value-generating commander that is an outlet for Worldgorger Dragon. She stands as a sidegrade to Xantcha, Sleeper Agent.

Atla Palani, Nest Tender

Atla has some decent potential to cheat in creatures, some interesting Mirror Entity combos, and built in boardwipe protection in colors that need it. She's limited by her color identity, but is powerful enough to compel competitive exploration and play.

Elsha of the Infinite

A strong value engine and a third of the Elsha/Helm/Top style combo.

K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth

A very powerful cost reducer, albeit in colors that struggle for interaction. Tentatively placing him in Competitive.

Chainer, Nightmare Adept

His "reanimation" ability is a little too fairly costed between the discard and having to cast the creature. Rakdos limits interactivity and reanimator bombs. No obvious combos discovered yet.

Greven, Predator Captain

A relatively powerful draw engine could fuel some hybrid fair/unfair strategies.

Grismold, the Dread Sower

Fairly substantial token producer at a cheap cost.

Slimefoot, the Stowaway

In similarity to Grismold, we've re-evaluated Slimefoot as High Power.

Volrath, the Shapestealer

No obvious combos, but is in a powerful color combination and lends to a lot of synergies.

Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer

Very narrow ability on top of a small pool of morphs.

Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero

Difficult to abuse ability, an unfortunate 'dies' trigger, and in lackluster colors.

Ghired, Conclave Exile

Reasonably strong combat threat with Populate shenanigans, but solidly fair and slow to build up.

Marisi, Breaker of the Coil

Combat slience is hard to abuse in these colors. Goading creatures can be quite disruptive.

Pramikon, Sky Rampart

Can support turtling strategies in combat-oriented metas.

Rayami, First of the Fallen

Very specific hate and a difficult to amass set of keywords.

Sevinne, the Chronoclasm

One copy per turn on a narrow flashback interaction is difficult to abuse effectively.

Tahngarth, First Mate

SMASH

Re: Gerrard's death trigger being "unfortunate": not to be snarky, but you do realize the subsequent exiling lets you put him into the command zone right? Not disputing the tier placement though.

September 6, 2019 11:35 a.m.

ShaperSavant says... #24

It would be much better as an Enters the Battlefield trigger.

September 6, 2019 11:44 a.m.

Colonel_Kink says... #25

i think that anje is not a sidegrade to xantcha, but rather an upgrade. Why?

Anje can go off on the turn she enters play, and her deck is practically 60 cards in some cases. ive even played against variants that ran LED by discarding madness cards in response to triggers, emptying their hand and then refilling it when the triggers resolve to go off on turn 3.

still think she's competitive but maybe not maximum power, yet. though id say she is almost there, she just needs more interaction and better madness cards, a mechanic that will defs will be reprinted.
