Magic: The Gathering
4.0
(87)
"[[winota, joiner of forces]] super budget friendly and whips ass."
"[[Sovereign Okinec-Ahau]] is a blast and is full of counters synergy."
"I really [[Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain]] Most of deck are artifacts, you do not have to go with moxes etc."
"Elsha for sure"
"[[Winota]] Stax is an easy winner."
"A good cedh deck would cost you 30 buck's it wins tutoring for [[demonic consultation]] and [[tassa's Oracle]]"
"Well my favorite deck is jhoira, weatherlight captain. You can order proxies for the deck in bulk and get around 600 cards for $100."
"Anje/Worldgorger Dragon for sure!"
"Blue farm is probably the best intro deck, but plays thoracle. It teaches you interaction, sequencing, mulliganing. Very consistent."
"Youre looking at either [[Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain]] or [[Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle]] for cEDH"
#2
Yuriko
4.1
(10)
"Yuriko is seconded. Best colors for interaction, built it card advantage, and incidental burn."
"Creature combo oriented: Yuriko"
"I recommend starting with a 1 or 2 color deck think of Magda, Yuriko and Kinnan that all follow a similar mindset the the casual versions but pumped to 1000%."
"[kinnan]] [[yuriko]] [[magda]] are commonly suggested for beginners."
"Probably yuriko for going budget to cedh. The upgrades are basically the quality of counters, fast mana and landbase."
"Yuriko is a pretty good way to get into cedh by upgrading since the base shell to make a strong yuriko isn’t too bad price wise."
"Something simple. Yuriko, Malcolm/Tymna value engine, murderbird, Godo, etc"
"Yuriko kappa"
"The two cheapest cEDH decks I know of off the top of my head are [[Yuriko]] and [[Godo]]."
"I would point you towards something like Yuriko."
#3
Winota
4.2
(9)
"Winota, Stella Lee, Yuriko. Have a buddy who put together a $200 winota deck ($100 of it for dockside) and then threw in 10 proxies and went on to win a cEDH tournament with it."
"[[Winota]], [[Najeela]], and [[Yuriko]] are all big in my meta."
"Wintoa Joiner of Forces is extremely fun, competitive, fairly cheap for CEDH, and easy to play."
"Creature stax oriented: Winota"
"Yeah definitely, she's one of the most straightforward commanders to pilot. Here's an old winota list of mine."
"You could build a solid Winota deck for under 1000, the most expensive cards will be the mana rocks."
"I would say winota Is probably one of the best budget decks."
"I’d say maybe [[winota]] , [[yuriko]] , rogsi like what the other person mentioned.. a lot depends on your guys play style"
"[[winota]] snowball stax"
#4
Kinnan
4.4
(7)
"Kinnan is the best deck for new players, super fun and pretty simple."
"I'd say go with Kinnan. It's a strong deck, big creatures are fun."
"[[Kinnan]], [[Winota]], [[Najeela]], [[Thrasios]]&[[Bruse Tarl]]"
"I recommend starting with a 1 or 2 color deck think of Magda, Yuriko and Kinnan that all follow a similar mindset the the casual versions but pumped to 1000%."
"[kinnan]] [[yuriko]] [[magda]] are commonly suggested for beginners."
"I just got into CEDH with a Kinnan budget deck. Really fun, would only get better and faster if I put it in more CEDH staples."
"Kinnan is fairly budget and super fun and easy to pilot imo."
#5
Kess
4.0
(7)
"Kess is one of the best decks to learn grixis cEDH on. She's pretty solid at everything and is very forgiving while also teaching the two best combos in the format."
"[[kess]] as Grixis good stuff. She’s allows multiple attempts at combos, countering stuff, card draw etc."
"Its a bit expensive to build, but I really like Kess as an intro deck."
"Kess"
"I found Kess to be a great starter deck."
"Consultation Kess maybe."
"Kess perhaps"
#6
Najeela
4.2
(6)
"I say Najeela, because on top of being 5 colours and having an awesome turbo naus."
"When you guys have already some experience I would suggest you one deck of every common archetype: Najeela."
"Creature combo oriented: Najeela"
"[[najeela]] is probably right up your ally. Plays a “protect the queen” type tempo strategy"
"My personal recommendation for a beginner deck is Najeela Tempo, by Pongo."
"I support Najeela cause it’s pretty straightforward, but I wouldn’t recommend Winota or any stax deck in general."
#7
Magda
4.2
(6)
"As a lot of people have said, Magda is the clear choice if you’re going for the strongest deck."
"I recommend starting with a 1 or 2 color deck think of Magda, Yuriko and Kinnan that all follow a similar mindset the the casual versions but pumped to 1000%."
"[kinnan]] [[yuriko]] [[magda]] are commonly suggested for beginners."
"If you can’t or don’t want to proxy you can build magda for a reasonable amount."
"Magda if meta."
"Magda is also fun with some staxs and combo plays."
#8
Kenrith
4.6
(5)
"Kenrith $4k stax deck is a nasty thing on the board. It staxs out the table only to deck your opponents out later or beat them down with a 1 million strong Kenrith."
"Not mentioning these 4c+ decks is wild to me: - Kenrith."
"My personal answer is either Blue Farm or some variation on a Kenrith list; since Kenrith is just cracked."
"I'm partial to kenrith. Stay in general is taking a hit with bowmasters tho"
"Yes Kenrith is a pain for people to deal with. Him as a stax cedh is aweful"
#9
Urza
4.8
(4)
"Ime, Urza is the best Stax deck. It’s ability to quickly lock everyone out of generating mana is pretty ridiculous."
"Urza Lord Artificer is a great stax commander. You can shut everyone else out with stax and turn them off for you"
"I recommend any mono colored list. Bonus points if your pod all pick different mono lists (urza, selvala, k'rrik, godo & heliod)."
"Control: Urza lord high artificer"
#10
Jetmir
4.7
(3)
"Second for Jetmir, I took it to my first ever cEDH tournament and made top 16 and almost cut to top 4."
"Lately I’ve been playing [[Jetmir]] with Winota and Rocco in the 99. Staxy and can pop off suddenly with token generation + Jetmir."
"Also a big fan of jetmir been running him as "winconless" stax for a few months now."
#11
Blue Farm
4.7
(3)
"Blue Farm is a highly efficient deck that can play a pretty good midrange."
"I voted blue farm because you wouldn't let me rep my Evelyn deck."
"Midrange: Blue farm"
#12
Jeska
4.3
(3)
"Jeska / ishai is by far the BEST jeskai deck overall."
"I would go with Jeska ishai."
"Jeska ishai is probably your best bet because if you're playing in random pods... you can scoop up some wins."
#13
Elsha
4.3
(3)
"My votes on elsha top."
"My first deck getting into cedh was [[Elsha]] and she’s a ton of fun."
"My vote would be Elsha, it's the one I would play. Adaptable, able to play and play around creature hate, gives card advantage."
#14
Thrasios
4.3
(3)
"Not mentioning these 4c+ decks is wild to me: - Thrasios + Vial Smasher."
"Midrange: Thrasios tymna"
"Tymna/thrasios"
#15
Gitrog
4.0
(3)
"Gitrog is an amazing deck to truly learn about MTG and EDH, but only once you know the basics well enough. Horrible deck to get started with, but amazingly fun later on if you like to learn."
"Gitrog is very resilient cEDH budget commander but can be complex to play"
"Gitrog can be brutal at $100, Anje is a glass cannon on a budget but can win her share of games still, Selvala brostorm is also a budget option"
#16
Godo
4.0
(3)
"For an easy to play deck I would recommend godo."
"Imo easiest decks to try and learn are the most linear ones, that have one clear main plan and not too much adapting: Godo, Kroxa, Anje, Kinnan turbo, Najeela combat, etc."
"[[godo]] with [[helm of the host]] combo. Very straight forward and simple to play."
#17
Godo, Bandit Warlord
5.0
(2)
"Godo, Bandit Warlord is a great option. You can just go hard into rituals and ramp."
"Godo, Bandit Warlord is a great option. You can just go hard into rituals and ramp."

4.5
(2)
"Selvala is who got me into cedh, highly recommend"
"Selvala is my reccomendation its about 75-100 in total for a budget cedh build."
#20
GAAIV
2.7
(3)
"While I agree GAAIV stax is a bit out of favor with the meta right now, he is a commander I really enjoy playing."
"I would advice against gaaiv if you don't have a lot of people to play cedh against."
"GAAIV it not in favor."
#21
Stella Lee
4.0
(2)
"Stella lee. Her combo lines are small dollars. You can slowly invest into fast mana and upgraded land."

"I personally main K’rrik and it made me better at all forms of magic."
#24
Edric
4.0
(2)
"We can probably even just upgrade and throw together a version of the classic Edric turns."
"Honestly? [[Edric, Spymaster of Trest]] is super viable for cedh with little investment."
#25
