37 - Underrated cEDH Decks (right now)

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Ian and Trevor embark on a quest to deliver YOU the 3 most underrated decks in cEDH right now. These are decks that are actually emerging as tournament winners or have great potential. These aren't necessarily fringe decks, but decks that aren't getting the recognition they deserve in the current meta.

Also, this was recorded a month ago, so we realize Rog/Ishai has been getting some attention as well!

Well folks...buckle up because part 6 quickly divulged into chaos. Ian and Trevor started things out before being joined by a recurring guest. Then a random surprise guest showed up. What is going on?! These boys can't agree on anything. Feelings were hurt, prides were lost, it was an all around great time. Join along with the laughs and the chaos of part 6.

Apologies for any audio problems! There were 4 of us at one point and some of us were sharing a mic. Just embrace it LOL.

18 - Understanding Decks With Unique Combos: Magda and Tayam - The cEDH Sermon

Sat, 10 May 2025 19:00:00 -0400

Ian and Trevor have done their research on Magda and Tayam and are now ready to discuss how they operate. They are both unique decks that don't have the typical Thassa's Oracle or Breach lines. Sometimes these combos can be intimidating for new or unfamiliar players. We break things down in an easy to understand (hopefully) discussion.

To be clear, this isn't a guide on how to play these decks, but more so an overview to draw new players in or help with understanding during matchups.

14 - Upgrading a Casual Tatyova Deck to cEDH

Sun, 23 Mar 2025 09:00:00 -0400

Ian and Trevor are joined by the infamous Chad Von Doom in an episode about upgrading your casual deck to a cEDH level. Chad Von Doom is an occasional casual player that isn't familiar with the ins and outs of cEDH. We figured it'd be a great example of how to take a deck you are already familiar with and upgrade it to be viable in cEDH.

The final outcome is far from perfect, but it's a great start in the right direction. Use it as an example of the initial types of swaps you'd make. You should always play test and continue to tweak the list until it's the best it can be.
