The cEDH Sermon

Trevor and Ian really dragged their feet on this set review, but here it is! Was Secrets of Strixhaven a set worthy of cEDH? Are there any new commanders worth running or any new staples? We found a few!

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 att...

Ian and Trevor are back with a very special guest! Matt AKA TrogChamp joins us for a deep dive on Dina, Soul Steeper for cEDH. Golgari is not often seen in cEDH outside of Gitrog, but after looking at Dina, she's definitely got a place in the format!

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!...

Ian and Trevor are back with a semi relevant topic: MDFC Lands. Ian seems to think they have more of a home in cEDH while Trevor remains skeptical. But differing opinions lead to discussion! So here we are with another tier list.

Ian and Trevor are joined, once again, by their good friend Frank to discuss the best cEDH deck in each color combination. This is taking the current meta into consideration as well as making some predictive calls based on where the meta might be headed. There may be some friendly trash talk, so don't get down if we rag on your favorite deck a bit...it's all in good fun :) SOCIALS: Disco...

Ian and Trevor are back faster than you can say Hexing Squelcher, with a cEDH set review for Lorwyn Eclipsed. Turns out there are actually some really good cEDH cards, especially for Cradle decks. Tayam also has some potential upgrades. We also touched on some of the fringe or fun cards as well.

Ian and Trevor are back in 2026 with some helpful advice to new cEDH players. Which decks are beginner friendly? Is it better to pick the most powerful deck? A deck that's easy to play? Or maybe just a deck you'll enjoy? We will get into all of that, as well as explain how a lot of the most common decks in the format work!

Ian and Trevor are joined by a childhood friend to continue ranking the reserved list in part 5 of the Ranking the Reserved List series.

Is Kefka too good? YES. But we live in the cEDH realm where too good is typical. Join Trevor and Ian and find out just how good Kefka really is.  We review a few Kefka lists and dissect what makes it so strong in the current meta.

Ian and Trevor have a lot to catch up on. Edge of Eternities has been out for a bit, how's it holding up? Also, it was international cat day in August and National cat day is coming up in October, so they rank the top 10 cats in cEDH. Also, why was the final pod of the invitational all Blue Farm decks? We discuss it all... SOCIALS: Twitter: https://x.com/cedhsermon Bluesky: https://bsky.app/p...

Trevor and Ian decide to try out a drinking game while reviewing the reserved list for cEDH applicability.

It took us a hot minute to get this uploaded, but it's here: Episode 22 of the cEDH Sermon. Today, Trevor and Ian compare popular meta decks and place them on a spectrum of generic to unique (specialized). Why are certain generic decks good in the format? Why are certain specialized decks good? Join us to hear our thoughts. SOCIALS: Twitter: https://x.com/cedhsermon Bluesky: https://bsky.app/...

Are there any cards on the reserved list worth playing in cEDH? What if they were all legal in the commander format? Come hang with us while we discuss some hypotheticals as well as some potential real cEDH application from the reserved list in part 3 of our ongoing reserved list review.

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...

A full set review of the latest Magic The Gathering Set, Tarkir: Dragonstorm for cEDH play. Trevor and Ian not only talk about the staples, but delve into some of the potential fringe and budget options as well.

While Trevor traverses to the west in a tale reminiscent of Oregon Trail, Ian's wife appears as a guest star on the podcast. Ian will try to find her a cEDH commander she would enjoy!

Ian and Trevor (and Faye) rank the next selection of Reserved List cards for cEDH applicability. Are they good cards? No, not really, but that's what makes it interesting.

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&apo...
