The cEDH winter tourney semi final matches have concluded. The top 4 decks include Chain Veil Teferi, Turbofroggy, Sans Red Thrasios telepathy control, and sans white Thrasios Buried Alive Nooze combo. It confirmed my impression that Thrasios is a contender for best overall commander even though my list lost, and JaysonSunshine is vindicated in his assertion that Gitrog is a contender for top 5 status. Since the top 16 matches were single elimination Zur and FCT could have easily had multiple decks in the finals too.

Here is a link to the top 16 decks from the tournament. Most of them are what would be expected, but there were definitely some suprising decks among the top 16.

I find it interesting that the linked Turbofroggy list plays Lake of the Dead but no Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. Is it just there to basically draw a card in place of land drop or am I missing something?

Sorry should have asked on the list itself. I'll take my question there.

Hey everyone, I have been inspired to try to do Purphoros cEDH again, and this time, I'm using rituals and non-untapping rocks to try to make this version much faster. How does this list look so far? I don't know too much about cEDH except what I've researched online, so I would love input from any experienced cEDH players.

Trying to do Purphoros cEDH

Thank you in advance!

LEO is dead. Sheldon assassinated him. RIP. Protean Hulk is back in business...

Protean Hulk may actually change the game we know and the tier decklists' order. Meren and other BG decks have their Boonweaver, Karador has strictly better Boonweaver and UG decks have a 2 card combo with Flash for 2 mana at instant speed. That's quite amazing.

The only bad thing is the Leo's ban :(.

When I heard, I went to the nearest liquor store, bought a 40, and poured some out.

RIP Leovold.

I think hulk would be some great rebuilding tech in Yisan in the face of boardwipes. Seems like a great way to put a bunch of dorks in play after Day.

Also Pod ...

Deck submission to bump Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund to Tier 3:

thegigibeast and NarejED, I just realized that the name of this list could be improved to "List of All Commanders by Tier (Multiplayer)" for a more professional look (my opinion, of course), a more official title ("EDH" and "Generals" are unofficial terms), and a more intelligible title (this list is of multiple players?).

Thoughts?

Just an FYI Leovold, Emissary of Trest was just banned today.

And Protean Hulk is legal now. Here's a link to the banlist update: http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/commander-edh/775283-banlist-update-leovold-banned-protean-hulk

PROTEAN HULK IS UNBANNED!?!?!?!

Why would they ever make this mistake?

Also a big fat "I told you so" to everyone who said Leo was safe.

But seriously, an easily cheat-able 7 drop that basically says, "when this dies win the game." That's somehow not a problem? This is ridiculous.

1. Your curve is way too high.

2. Karrthus will never be tier 3 for the simple fact that playing a Clone on him allows your opponents to steal most of your boardstate. Not to mention that a haste granter on a 7 drop doesn't make any sense, or that if you want to play dragon stompy, Atarka, World Render is just an all around better commander.

MagicalHacker, That's not a bad idea, but if we're trying to sound professional I'd go with "List of All Commanders by Tier in Multiplayer" or "List of All Multiplayer Commanders by Tier." Parentheses usually don't sound professional. (See what I mean?)

Hulk is hype.

Leyline of the Void, RIP, Torpor Orb, Hushwing Gryiff, Grafdigger's Cage, Containment Priest, and a million exile effects for all colors makes Hulk not as good as one may think.

I mean, Hulk is good, just not as good as it used to be.

sonnet666, I think you're absolutely right, and I like "List of All Commanders by Tier in Multiplayer" more!

Hulk is pretty good. Hes almost strictly better than boonweaver, but boonweaver is kind of meh these days. As of now noone has thought of anything that will break the meta, but it always takes a while to solve a strategy. He does open up a large number of interesting decks so that is pretty sweet. Some non black combo decks (who don't have tutors in the command zone) may not be completely terrible so yay!

I am mourning losing Leo as part of the 99 far more than as a commander.

Leovold, Emissary of Trest has been banned, RIP Tier 1.

GET LEO OUT OF THERE

calm down champ.

Hmm... I have a question for the competitive guys here: would Nekusar, the Mindrazer running a storm esque shell (paradox engine, Aetherflux Reservoir) while popping in a Laboratory Maniac work in competitive? I know Jeleva is better for storm in general... but nekusar does allow for extra draw via Curiosity and the like, and soft locking via Elder Mastery type effects.

n0bunga I have actually had some success with a nekusar deck against competitive level decks, mostly as an attribute of strategically placed wheels to disrupt hands. Then again said list is leaning more towards combo at the moment, but it holds its ground against quite a few of the top tier decks... I guess that could be a result of the unpredictability of the deck as most people have no idea what my wincons are at first

So, I have enough competitive decks currently, but for my my next one I actually want to keep my friends. I know both commanders are low tiered, so which would be better & fun. Kangee, Aerie Keeper or Sygg, River Guide both made tribally

Hey everyone, with the recently unbanning of Protean Hulk I decided to brew up a reanimator deck Thrasios + Tymna Protean Hulk Combo. Looking for some feedback, still needs refinement.
