I noticed that there was no deck list for Prime Speaker Vannifar . If you need a list, I’ve been doing some research with my build Vannifar cEDH and currently it’s been winning about 80% of the games it plays against tier 1-2 decks.

goconnor 80%!! Better create a BEYOND MAXIMUM POWER tier :D

goconnor, do you have any data for this?

I haven't mentioned this yet but I've been doing some tests with different Vannifar decks, and I'm trying to figure out which is the best combo line. I plan on posting the results here when I've completed the analysis.

If you have been recording your games, this could help.

Cymorg, I pretty recently started collecting very detailed data, but I can post it once I get a considerable amount, if you don’t want detail, I can just tell you that I currently have a 22-8 win to loss ratio (currently on a 7 win streak mostly against one of my friends who has a nearly optimized Teferi, Temporal Archmage deck).

Cymorg if you're looking for the optimal vannifar list/lines, I'd recommend checking out https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/vannifar-evolution-101-competitive/#c3485341. Though I'm no Vannifar aficionado, these guys have it down. They've put in many hours of testing.

With that in mind, goconnor for your data to be most helpful, could you also add to your notes what you were up against? You mention an almost optimized teferi deck, so I'd assume it's just missing like 'nacle and transmute / something similar, but if those decks are all 'almost optimized' in that they're restrained by budget considerations or pet-cards etc. then please keep in mind that will have some sway in your data and the way that it's viewed.

So what's the decklist that made Niv-Mizzet, Parun competitive? I'd really love to see it.

If you do not mind me asking, I've seen that Niv-Mizzet Reborn has gotten a lot of fanfare here as the replacement for General Tazri , but when I took a look at the primer (and I realize that it is still early in testing), it looks like Niv as a backup plan only actually grabs 1 piece of the combo engine consistently, and the vast majority of his decklist cannot leverage the draw power attached to the commander.

I realize in cEDH, the commander is often the backup plan, but this seems important to note, in addition to his much more temperamental casting cost over Tazri, thoughts?

Niv-Mizzet Reborn isn't a backup plan. It's an outlet for the infinite mana generated by Food Chain .

How long until the next update in the description?

The update is several posts up, from Sigi. Perhaps they forgot to add it to the description?

I'm getting a little itch to play a control deck. I'm leaning Azorius, either Geist of Saint Traft , or Noyan Dar, Roil Shaper , the latter of which doesn't seem to have a win angle other than grinding out the table and praying? Any thoughts on those two?

My third option is maybe Tatyova, Benthic Druid , who seems a bit more versatile by having green, but I'm still leaning Azorius.

Anyone have experience with the abovementioned generals?

Why did we remove Scion Druid Win for Scion of the Ur-Dragon ?

As time goes on I feel that Hermit Druid is less and less competitive, but I believe it is still the optimal way to play Scion.

@thewyzman

If you care more about color combination, I'd suggest you play Grand Arbiter Augustin IV or Brago, King Eternal instead of any of those. Of course, the choice depends on your meta so it's hard to make calls without that, but generally I think that both of these would hold their ground better than the 3 you mentioned.

As for what would be the best of your picks, again, this depends a lot on your meta. But generally, I'm a fan of Tatyova, Benthic Druid here. Green offers more for control game plan than white does and Tatyova itself makes a good use out of green's ramp spells. Locally, creature-heavy staxy meta that doesn't care much about graveyards, we have a Tatyova turns deck that does strangely well considering that she's usually the lowest ranked deck at the table by this list. There are always bigger threats than her to worry about, she dodges most of our stax relatively easily and she can get out of control quite easily. I'm more than a bit biased here and she works in my specific meta that might be quite different from yours, but I've seen Tatyova do stuff that make competitive decks scared. Stuff that I don't really think either Geist or Noyan can pull.

There was some talk before about having monthy updates. Is that still happening? Or have they happened and they're just buried in the comments?

thegigibeast, the owner of this page, has been absent due to personal issues, so we haven't been able to issue updates via the update function. Our WAR update was given in a comment 8 days ago on May 6.

Thanks :)

What would we rank Earl of Squirrel? My lgs accepts him as a commander
