Hello, my name is Mons and I make youtube content about competitive elder dragon highlander or just cEDH. I mostly make deck tech videos or explain combos. But I also make gameplay videos in front of a camera or over cockatrice. In the section below called youtube content you can see videos I have made on this specific deck. Down below you can find some sections with information about this deck. You could copy the deck completely, but I recommend learning the deck's philosophy on how it is supposed to be played. If you wish to check out my youtube channel just copy paste this link into your browser.

With a huge amount of instant speed control cards, we can make sure the game is going our way. Then we aim at using Kess, Dissident Mage as some form of card drawing commander by replacing all those nasty control cards from our graveyard. That means we need some active control spells like Abrade . Because our commander only let us cast spell during our own turns. Therefore Mana Drain can never be used once more from our grave. Unless we use it during our own turn to protect our combo. But I think you see what I mean.

Some of the cards on this list are really expensive. While some are complete budget alternatives. I guess this deck is somewhere in-between. This is not how I would play a none budget kess deck.


Demonic Consultation or Tainted Pact

If the name of the deck didn't alredy say it we use these two cards to win the game. One of them will do. Use any one of them to find Laboratory Maniac . Then use Kess, Dissident Mage to recast Demonic Consultation from your graveyard. But this time say Black Lotus . Now this card does not exist inside your deck (if it did your deck would be ilegal). So your deck will dissaper into exile. Now just draw a card and win.



Smoke

This is a big metacard I play becous I go up agienst so Dorks - Tymna the Weaver - Najeela, the Blade-Blossom decks, and smoke slowes them doooowwwwnnn ... It is currently whery affectiv. But it's not a card to include if your playing in a low creature meta.


Spellseeker

A great tutor that can find either Demonic Consultation or Tainted Pact but also other good stuff. It is always good to have a Pact of Negation if you have all your combo cards in your hand.


Snow-Covered Island

? why not just 2 normal basic Island ? Simple. for Tainted Pact to perfectly work you can't have duplicant inside your deck. Or card with the same name. When you hit a card with the same name you already exiled Tainted Pact will stop digging. Therefore we play snow-covered lands to increase the amount of islands in this deck. This will improve the effects of Gush that we use for our doomsday.


Praetor's Grasp

I guess this card dose a lot of strange things for this deck. We can use it to exile a combo card from an opponents deck and let it remain in permanent face down exile. The Gitrog Monster are not happy when Dakmor Salvage disappears.

But we can also it is to steal card we despretly need that others also have. Or we could steal a back up plan. A big nasty stompy creature if the game gose long. But becouse our commander is Kess, Dissident Mage , we can do it once more for extra value.



All cEDH TV decks

I have a deck folder for all my decks I have made if you wanna look around for other ideas. I play close to every commander and strange gameplan. So there is a bunch of different decks in that folder. I have other more organized smaller folders of specific concepts too. But this folder simply contain everything I have ever made. Its a good place if you only wish to scroll around for inspiration.
