I’m not necesarily saying to downgrade najeela. I just think tasigur can compete with tier 1 better than tier two commanders.

ToshiroU. I absolutely agree, and fully believe—and for a ling while now—that Azami is a competitive deck as opposed to high power. I play with mine against fully tuned decks regularly, and have had a very good success rate. My meta consists of chain veil Teferi, gitrog, Demon Tyrant, Najeela, Edric, T&T Razakats, and sometimes Oona. Again, all fully tuned to their maximum strength. No complaints here. I've played using other mono blue decks, mostly online, and I believe Azami has earned a spot with the best of the mono U commanders, under of course Urza for obvious reasons.
As for the current changes to the list, I believe T&T has earned their placement, for the time being at least. Only time will tell if that sticks or not, but it seems clear that Wizards is on role with creating broken legends, and I believe that role isn't over, especially with the release of the newest set. For a long time it was Zur that was considered in a class of his own, and we've seen now, for the first time in a while, his placement being challenged, not only by the likes of T&T, but even by Kess in a lot of ways. Curious to see how the list changes.

Sorry to double comment but I dont see any Aurelia, the Warleader on this list and Aurelia could be a bad tier 2 or GREAT tier 3

There is no list and you want her moved to a higher tier. Double the reason you are encouraged to post a list yourself

Fellin22 why would they ban tymna when she herself is by no means op? if anything, if tymna thrasios were such a problem,they should not be allowed to be together, tymna alone with another partner is not that strong.
June 20, 2019 4:53 p.m.
Because tymna gives you a good card draw engine without comboing off, so I think they should ban tymna to make the other partner in the Thrasios, Triton Hero Completely unusable, same thing for Vial Smasher.
June 20, 2019 5:04 p.m.
Thrasios Does not Become unusable, the other partner does if they ban Tymna and Vial Smasher. This is because the other orzhov and radkos partners are bad.

There are some commanders in "Competitive" that need be swapped out with some cards from "High Power." Ramos and Jodah are just not very good. I think Dralnu and Lord Windgrace can probably come up. While I was the primary creator behind the original Dralnu lists, so my opinion is biased, I have played him a fair bit recently, and he felt very good. Some of the new cards from WAR have given the deck a bit more ability to gain value while slowing opponents early on in the game, and that has made a difference.
Lord Windgrace is a deck I've seen played a fair bit by Azurel, and he has done pretty well with it as well. I haven't played the deck (being more of a champion of Xira Arien, which I still don't think belongs next to decks like Zurgo, but different discussion), but I've seen it in action a couple times, and it does powerful things.
Also, the First Sliver strongly belongs in "High Power."

@buildingadeck - The First Sliver has replaced General Tazri and Niv-Mizzet Reborn as the premier 5 color Food Chain commander for competitive. It's not going anywhere any time soon unless The RC decides to ban Food Chain.

That's not what I would've expected, but sure. To me, it looks worse than Tazri because paying 5 different colors is worse than paying one, but I suppose I haven't really seen it in play.

@buildingadeck Sliver being WUBRG to cast doesn't matter because going off with food chain makes infinite Mana of all colors.

I used to be able to click on a commander and it would show a deck list for that commander. Now when I click on the commander, it just shows the card and no more deck lists. Is there a setting that I need to turn on or off? Thanks!

I clicked on Kess, and the list for Kess Storm showed up. Now it's not showing up. I know this isn't a big deal. But I was stoked to see links to cEDH decks.

Yeah, it's been a while since I've played against Food Chain guys. My bad. That said, the rest of what I said was completely ignored. There are some truly bad commanders listed as competitive while some good ones remain in High Powered.

Might be a bit bias but, Edgar Markov (Storm/Fastcombo) is still sitting at a 26.7% winrate on the cEDH discord :)))), it is probably around the power level of Godo, mizzix, e.c.t. at very least. And probably be worth considering for the competitive tier of the list. https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveEDH/comments/alomvi/symphony_of_the_knight_primer/ https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/31-01-19-symphony-of-the-knight/
Both a deck list and writeup are there. Any comments let me know. :)

Please put the modern horizon commanders in their place at waiting list and don’t put something like urza in tier one even though he is probably less playable than narset in tier 1 as well as the first sliver isn’t really that good since most slivers are 3 cost it’s effect isn’t huge on your game actually

Should you shift Jodah, Archmage Eternal , God-Eternal Kefnet , and Scion of the Ur-Dragon down a tier or something? There's been plenty of time for a deck to have been brewed for any of them. Plus I seriously doubt any of those three stack up to Teferi.

Gilady089 as stated before The First Sliver is a better combo piece for Food Chain then both Niv-Mizzet Reborn or General Tazri He belongs there.
Food chain First sliver combo Show
About Urza, Lord High Artificer . As of the state if he should belong in tier 1 is up for debate but you can not deny that he's is better then Teferi, Temporal Archmage not saying that Teferi is bad, Urza, Lord High Artificer is simple faster. Don't Make the same mistake I did , do your research or read the comments before this one.

The Brago list seems to be a bit out of date, given the recent printing of Tribute Mage , which can fetch Strionic Resonator straight from the library.

@Fellin22 - how are you figuring that Tasigur is better than Najeela?
Najeela is a 5 color tool box that admittedly doesn't need her to win, but she can by herself as well. She's broken by numerous cards to break parity and give infinite combo steps as well. Tasigur doesn't have that same potential, because his ability's target is up to your opponent so it's nowhere near as consistent. It also doesn't manage to cheat anything into play or give additional combat, turns, etc. His reliance on the graveyard and ability to be delved doesnt change this.
