pviollier if it had evasion it would be played. It's just not as good as Siren stormtamer.

Any interest in the soon-to-be released Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive?

I was also curious about Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive. I haven't tested it in this deck yet, but I don't think it fits well enough in this deck. It doesn't provide Edric with evasion, and most other creatures wouldn't be in the deck without evasion. I'd rather not invest 2 mana (a rare blue mana with Gaea's Cradle/Priest of Titania on the field) and save the mana for an extra turn, or for a counterspell to push through that extra turn, or for the second main phase after Edric refreshed my hand and gives more strategies. However, it does provide the best type of evasion for most of the deck.

I'm also curious about Mox Amber in this deck, as Edric is so important to this deck so there's always use, but won't help casting Edric or a counterspell for Edric (besides Baral). What's your thoughts on the new mox and Tetsuko?

Umezawa is going in the deck for sure. It makes our dorks unblockable. That is super important considering how many small blockers there are in cEDH right now.

Mox amber will see very little play in cEDH with a few exceptions. It's a card that will be an instant mull in an opening hand. Not good for. This deck.

Woah finally we are getting some new cards again =D

Skyshroud Ranger Looks solid in this deck, almost a second Exploration in the body of an elf.

JuQ We dont play any of the creatures like Skyshroud ranger. I think theres two or three of them. They require to tap to put a land into play, so it cant do it the turn it comes out.(remeber, this is cEDH not casual. we need to be as fast as possible.) and if we dont have any lands in hand, its a 1/1 without evasion doing nothing for us. most cards that exist have been talked about and explored for this deck seeing as edric is about 5 or 6 years old and has been brewed to death.

First of all, I love this list. It's so satisfying to break the traditional mold of cEDH decks to play a swarm-style deck, especially one that refuses to run any creature buffs. It's ridiculous in a great way. That being said, my meta is a mix of casual and more tuned lists, and i often find myself getting outpaced by some decks with a higher curve that can make better use of mana rocks. Any suggestions for a sideboard when facing decks like these? I already run Meekstone, but without a Trinket Mage or a similar artifact tutor the effect is somewhat negligible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(Side note: I really want to preserve the extra-turn-juggling core of the deck. I dont want to win through overrun effects or infect, rather I'm looking for stax effects that will punish large creature spells and the like.)

Saint99It sound like youre playing in a casual meta so this deck should dominate and maybe even be too strong as is. the biggest thing you need to keep in mind when jamming edric in casual metas is to make sure you hold up counterspells for board wipes. All that being said though, In my opinion, Edric is too strong for casual and will still obliterate many casual metas even if you take out the warps and put in pump effects, making the deck a lot weaker. I dont condone stomping but if you are going to try edric into your meta, you should try it weaker first. warps(except throng) out for stuff like eastmasters/choof/triumph and so on.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply. I should probably mention that my meta is made up of decks ranging from janky spirit tribal to tuned stax decks and a little storm, and my current Edric list runs no cards that cost more than 10$ outside of some of the extra turn effects. That being said, you're probably right about turns being too good for casual no matter how you build it. I'll slot in the overrun and see how it goes.

Thanks!
