where are Liesa, Shroud of Dusk???

Thank you very much yurixquest. I added her to the list

Why do you guys think Aesi is tier 1.5 instead of 1? I think it's an upgraded version of tatyova

i dont think any commander that costs 6 or more should be in the competitive tier

@darkpower1496: In casual games, Aesi seems like an better version of Tatyova but the 1 mana difference can actually be pretty significant in competetive EDH. Like casual_competitive said, a commander who costs more than 5 mana is often to slow, to compede in the higher Tiers of the competetive metagame.

interesting new list. Its good someone took up the charge of making a new list since the lab maniacs don't seem to have time to update theirs anymore. by the way, Dargo, the Shipwrecker + Jeska, Thrice Reborn makes for a very strong mono red deck, that can kill the table very quickly. not sure if you have discused this partner pairing when considering where to place them in the list.

@Fallerup: Yes that was my thought process, too. Since their list is no longer updated, I've decided to continue the list from now on with two friends, but we would be happy if the community would support us (like you, so thank you very much for your comment), because now there so many possible new pairings, commanders, combos and new synergies... There have been so many new ones that you can quickly lose track of things. Some time has to pass before we can find out which cards are good and which are not. Therefore it's important for us to get as much input as possible from the community (so please share/show this list to your friends and leave your thoughts!), as we all have full-time jobs and thanks to the pandemic, we can only play games via discord now and then. We're familiar with various combos with Dargo and Jeska, but sadly we haven't yet played against such a deck, so I cannot say how fast or how reliant the deck is. It's also very difficult to classify partner commanders here, as you have to evaluate them both in certain pairings, as well as an individual character / commander and therefore we agreed that Dargo is strong, but weaker compared to Jeska. Dargo can shine in certain decks, but Jeska is the real new red star of EDH.

@ smilodex How it works. have Phyrexian Altar on the board and so sac fodder of some kind, cast Dargo, the Shipwrecker and sac him to the altar for a red. you can now sac Dargo over and over and over and over infinitely. then you cast Jeska, Thrice Reborn and -X her to kill the table because she enters with X loyalty counters for each time you cast your commander this game. possible Turn 2 kill, if you have 0 cost mana rocks to get out Phyrexian altar and stuff like that turn 1.you only need 3 creatures or artifacts to sac once and the loop in infinite.

@Fallerup: I already knew that combo, but it's very much christmas wonderland to resolve it turn 2 and sadly there aren't that much tutors in mono-red to make it consistent enough. But with the right partner he'll definitely find it's place.

Of course, it's the perfect open hand, m,agical Christmas land as you say. you can have the new Jeweled Lotus to get him out faster. But yeah, not saying it will costantly win turn 2. I'm saying its possible. I like that partner pairing a lot. You can also do the Aetherflux Resovoir death star laser beam win. cast your commander infinite times, cast aetherflux and shoot the table. Not saying on turn 2, but its an option for the deck.

Ishkanah, Grafwidow can be a Combo Deck with its own COmmander Combos, not just a dumb Spider Tribal ;)

Ishkanah, Grafwidow Commander COMBO Deck

@Rivrek: Thank you. Moved Ishkanah to fringe competetive because you just need infinite black mana to win and another viable way to win, is together with Food Chain and Altar of the Brood/Blood Artist. I don't know how me missed that, but don't be to harsh with us. With over 1000 possible commanders, somethin like that can happen, haha :D

I think this list could use a little editing, Urza should be top tier, Yawgmoth should be close but not C rank. among a few others

MFBOOM Disagree. I play Yawgmoth, he is fine in 1.5. Urza is generally agreed upon to be tier 1 due to the reliance on Urza and the restriction to mono-blue.

@MFBOOM: like pokejerk20 mentioned right, Urza is already top tier and one of the best mono colored commanders and Yawgmoth a rank behind but not far behind. Urza is very strong, but since he's lacking enough tutors he is just slightly worse than others.

Is Edgar really that strong though? I mean, I don’t make my list full power but still...

watched a video of Toggo, Goblin Weaponsmith + Kodama of the East Tree and their infinite landfall trigger (with the Gruul bounce land to be specific)....does that warrant a higher tier for both? Just asking. Although, I think Fringe Competitive for Kodama sounds right.

@ AintNotGlobeEarth: Yes he is. He's one of the best casual tribal commanders and he also enables some unique vampire or razaketh combos. Eminence is always a really strong ability for a commander and the deck can also sneak some combat wins in games if he can't combo fast enough. In mardu colors you have also access to most of the strongest EDH cards atm, like Dockside, Ad Nauseum, PitA, Underworld Breach, Tymna, Razaketh, Necropotence, Opposition Agent and all other good mardu tutors: _ _

@ Commander_JAR: Very good question, they're both very strong commanders for casual EDH and I think they are both fringe competetive (please don't forget that fringe competetive is Tier 2!) because of the overall "high" cost of the combo (Kodama + Toggo + bounceland + outlet). We haven't played against a lot of competitive Toggo and Kodama decks lately (which can also show that the deck isn't that popular in cEDH). I think there's no gruul deck atm which is better than tier 2, BUT I think that Grumgully, the Generous, Ruric Thar, the Unbowed and maybe Neyith of the Dire Hunt/Grand Warlord Radha are still slightly better. The potential of the deck definitely exists, but I also think that it is unfortunately a bit too slow in the current Turbo AdNaus meta, but in casual it is a very good and funny deck to play and win!

@smilodex I thought as much. Tier 2 is still pretty good IMO.

very nice list. keep up the work, updating it.

1 suggestions: I'd put Grenzo in Tier 1.5. He's very strong, fast, utilizes doomsday / (goblin recruiter) AND infinite mana combos AND he can abuse the london mulligan in a way no other deck can.

Krark the Thumbless // Sakashima form a cEDH deck. The strategy revolves around copying Krark multiple times and using it's ability to obtain multiple copies of the spell and getting it back into your hand to obtain insane card advantage/mana.

Here's a link for the primer for those interested: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/G-RUVy_CMUWzXlhJknIzZg.

well look at that, a Gruul commander with GoloS effect in Kaldhiem......TOP TIER XD

Svella, Ice Shaper is going to be fuuun

Why exactly is Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder in tier 1? Just for Partner colors? If so, why is Akiri, Line-Slinger much lower?

Seeing Roon of the Hidden Realm above Atraxa, Praetors' Voice and Amareth, the Lustrous, and in the same tier as Tuvasa the Sunlit strikes me as odd. Is there some secret tech that pulls Roon out of tier 4(casual)?

I'm surprised that Siona, Captain of the Pyleas is "only" tier 3, considering the 2 card combo with Shielded by Faith. I suppose it is because GW doesn't offer a lot of consistency for it?

Liesa, Shroud of Dusk still needs to be added. Probably goes right next to Kambal, Consul of Allocation. Almost exactly the same 99. Her tax effect also hits creatures, but she costs more mana in exchange and isn't one-sided, so it evens out.

I like how this list is kept up on the regular. Good job admins! One thing missing though is deck samples. Is that something that will be added in the future? And what I'm really looking for is the best partner commander for Sakashima of a Thousand Faces . Andy suggestions?
