EVERYBODY PARL(T)AY [Combo][Primer] my current Selvala, Explorer Returned deck, i will be updating it soon when i purchase 5 more cards, but for now it is what it is.

So... I'm not a cEDH player [though I do own and have infrequently played several Tier 0-1 decks on this list], but I often refer to this list as a reference for the power level of any given commander and some recent changes to the terminology of the list itself has me a bit... perturbed.

Specifically, I disagree with the use of 'Competitive' as the title for the Tier 2 section - by labeling commanders in the section as 'Competitive', you imply that these commanders themselves are mechanically competitive. This is often not the case and is generally dependent on the design and goals of the 99 rather than the Commander itself which makes this determination, as opposed to, say, a Yisan deck which by his very nature is difficult to build in anything BUT a competitive manner (excluding straight jank builds which do not seek to synergize with the commander). In the past this distinction has been easy to spot and I knew someone playing a Teferi deck is generally on a different playing field than my Animar Morph deck and by placing the Commanders themselves in the same Tier I think this list gives a false impression*.

I understand that the function of this list is to track the current meta of specific decks in a cEDH setting, however I would like to propose that, instead of listing these decks by tier ONLY by commander name you instead list them more specifically to the decks which helm those commanders and the strategies they employ - a Tazri Allies deck is a completely different beast than a Tazri Food Chain deck, and I think not making that distinction in the list itself detracts from the value of this list as a whole.

*: A large part of the issues and disconnect between cEDH and EDH stems from the term 'Competitive' being poorly defined within the community. Many believe simply employing an infinite to be competitive, despite it's actual difficulty to achieve and ability to actually end a game. Very few associate heavy tutor, fast mana, and low costed interaction with competitive play, despite these being the literal hallmarks of cEDH.

Hello again! I would like to take this time to show support for Opal-Eye, Konda's Yojimbo .

Some of you may remember me from the Elsha cEDH post above. But my funsie EDH deck is in fact Opal-Eye, Konda's Yojimbo If the admins of this particular list would care to like it and potentially post it (Do mind you, this is NOT Yojimbo at its maximum potential. So there are no tutors besides Land Tax) Then I would be grateful. Also, for those interested in building him, this is a good primer for building a deck geared around him.

Yojimbo's Sanctions And thank you for your time and patronage.

I submit the REAL evidence that Aminatou, the Fateshifter is a Tier-2 Commander:

Aminatou Tutor Club

This is a turn 4-6 EDH combo deck.

Hello everyone, I've been brewing and testing an consultation thief Aminatou build for quite some time and I'm here to submit her as another way to crack open the consultation line for the win with Labman in place if Jace, wielders of mysteries is gone. She can also give you blink value for some artefact or ETB triggers (spellseeker) if need be. I know she'll never be as strong than Zur, but she can do a lot of work herself. Im also intrigue of the new card wishful claw into the build.

Here a link : http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/haiti-cherie/?cb=1568826033

Ps : some cards are there as budget replacement/meta call/testing

Hey is there a specific list or lists that fall into the category of competitive for atla have a list built thats super fun but needs tunning and would love a direction to steer the tuning in

Whats the best line for the new Kenrith the returned king ? He's an awesome looking cmd

Hello!

thegigibeast LabManiac_Sigi ShaperSavant How can I appeal to move commander up a tier? Do i need to make a primer?

I've just finished top4 in our local cedh tournament with Zndrsplt, Eye of Wisdom / Okaun, Eye of Chaos and would like to make a point thay this pair is definitely at least "Competitive". They are not a tier 1 deck, but are really close, after playing them extensively for half a year I'm sure about it.

They give you really strong draw engine in Zndrsplt (especially with easily tutorable Krark's Thumb and one card win combo with Frenetic Efreet (+flash/labman). With such compact wincon, you can fill your deck with interaction (18 counterspells/6 board interaction), ramp and some strong stax pieces (blue moon nonbasic land hate package).

It can win on turn 2-3 with goldfish hands, on turn 4-6 with normal hand and some interacton from the table.

Here is the list: Coinzzzzz

Hey Guys!

thegigibeast LabManiac_Sigi and @ShaperSavant: I have been playing Inalla, Archmage Ritualist since she came out and the deck has performed extremely well in a variety of different Metas. I play in an environment largely consisting of the maximum power and over powered decks. Inalla has treated me very well and the deck is equipped to beat the top tier decks. I would like to request that she be moved to competitive.

Here is my list for reference: Inalla Reanimator

Thanks

Since when did Meren get ranked higher than Karador in terms of power?

YESSS!!! FINALLY my lovely Slimefoot is where he deserves. I've been exploring him in different builds, from storm-ish to infinite combos.

The most competitive version I've created abuse burst of saprolins with instant speed infect and some infinite spicy combos.

Here is the deck:

SHOW ME THE FUNGUS!!!

Kill the table with saprolins RIGHT NOW!!! SAPROLINS!! FUN!!

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if my deck: OONA, Queen of the Combo would be strong enough to sit-aside the "Oona Storm" list in the "Competitive" tier.

I have won many games with her over the course of several years, and it has become popular at events in the Northeast U.S. as people in commander pods during GPs and SCG Opens will recognize the deck or myself as the owner of the deck. The deck constantly goes X-1 or X-2 at events depending on the amount of pods played The most recent two being: GP Providence it went 8-2 in pods, and at SCG Open Syracuse it went 3-1.

Thank you ahead of time if you choose to check out my list, and hopefully i can hear back from you soon. -Aaron

Lord-Tony Meren gives pretty much the same effect with upside of the creatures being free in most cases cases.

Hopefully an update soon with Korvold's placement?

Hi, please consider this sans black hulk deck for the list.

Special thanks to everyone in the PlayEDH competitive discord that helped finish it.

Hi ShaperSavant,

I'm not sure if this is the best place for these discussions or somewhere on discord but...I have some additional thoughts on Mid Power commanders that should be moved up:

1. Zndrsplt, Eye of Wisdom + Okaun, Eye of Chaos -- This deck Coinzzzzz made it to the final pod of a cEDH tournament as reported on reddit last week. It's a 1-card combo with Zndrsplt + Frenetic Efreet . Here's another list that adopts a Polymorph strategy: Zndrsplt & Okaun - Polydox Scepter (PRIMER).

2. Llawan, Cephalid Empress -- Not sure if this slipped under the radar amidst the dust kicked up by the Paradox ban, but LLawan + Painter's Servant locks all opponents out of casting creatures, evening through Cavern of Souls , including Commanders. Can then assemble a Grindstone combo or perhaps Scepter combo. Here's a Scepter-less list I came across: Painter Llawan.

3. Kambal, Consul of Allocation -- He's a must-answer stax piece for many cEDH lists in the command zone. A High-power list Kambal's tax collection **LCL Playoff** recently won a tournament/league as reported on reddit 2 weeks ago, with about a 50/50 cEDH/high-power composition. Here's a list with a very different approach (and cEDH staples! Kambal's Pact - Vilis, Broker of Blood.

4. Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle -- I just really like this primer Worship's Reward - Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle; seems better than Sram to me.

Thanks for your consideration!

Will this list ever be updated?

I don't know if I just missed it, but I don't see Malfegor on the list and I wanted to see where relatively he/she would sit.

Shundo Malfegor is in the Casual tier.

Zenaku17 The list gets updated whenever a new set or new commander option's get released. Or when cards are banned. Like paradox engine getting banned knocked several commanders down a few tiers

What would you say Grumgully, the Generous would be rated as? I think he has good potential and just made a Eldraine only deck from him from the spare pieces from my box and two prerelease packs. Looks decent on paper I think and might make a really great aggro edh. I think it's a high powered commander especially since red and green is always a great combo.

I think Grumgully has way more potential in the 99 of decks than as a commander.

Hi! Any sugestion / comments about what does Ezuri claw Of progress needs yo ve competitive?

Do you have any Ezuri Decklist??

Thanks you~

ElGatix This is the list I use: https://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/commander-edh/competitive-commander-cedh/774231-ezuri-claw-of-progress-five-counter-death-punch. It's definitely on the high end of high power, but it's not quite competitive enough for tier 2. Though I could be wrong, because it's definitely close

Here is my submission for an Aminatou list Haïti Chérie add a competitive decklist
