Japanese cEDH Decks GO CRAZY | Top 13 Breakdown

Ойындар

Today I'm taking a look at a big cEDH tournament you probably haven't heard of. God of Commander 8 was a 142-player tournament that took place in Japan, and I'll be breaking down the top 12 decks at that event as well as the defending champions list. Japan has a VERY different looking meta than what you might be used to, so even popular Commanders can have some radical cards you won't expect. I go over the structure of this event, the decks that took it down, and what makes them stand out. And the Commander's running these wild cards are Tivit, The Gitrog Monster, Tymna/Kraum, Purphoros, Najeela, Dihada, Kinnan, Rog/Tevesh, Tymna/Thrasios, Yuriko, and Godo.
Let me know which of these decks was your favorite in the comments below!

    Purphoros- I have a deck like this, and totally take it to cEDH- it doesn't dominate, but it's better than you might think. (I decided to try it in cEDH because the deck is too brutal to play casual...so I wanted to see how it would do.)

    I'm gonna be honest, I'm not 100% sure, I died to an enchantment that damaged me at upkeep based on the number of enchantments I had, so I was shuffling up and organizing my stuff when he actually won. But it was me (Yuriko), A Sisay Weatherlight Captain, Ojer Axonil, and Purphoros. I shut off Ojer Axonil pretty early with a Cursed Totem, but that one enchantment plus a Rug of Smothering killed me haha​@@MisterWebb

    The US meta is heavily influenced by KZreadrs and sites like EDHtop16, most players there would prefer to copy a list rather than innovate. Japan does a lot of their own thing which is why their top 16 has a lot of originality.

    The tivit deck is secretly really interesting. The choice to play signets over talismans, the gutting of the stax pieces(oppo,dauthii,drannith) in favor of the turbo stuff. This guy plays Arcane Denial over Delay! What do you guys make of this?

    Esper does better as a slower midrange control deck. It lacks the explosiveness of red to be turbo. It will never be as fast as turbo decks. Being in white you’re better off with a control stax style that white offers to even the tempo. Even with tivit being a 1 card win con

    the Dihada from Japan story isnt quite right. Zain copied a list that won a local tournament near by him. That other player played my list back in the day. In an Interview he just mentioned when he changed the deck he got a lot of inspiration from asian lists. In the end i dont think any of the japanese inspiration actually made it in the deck at the end.

    Nuclear fallout is just better than Languish if you’re on Languish. X=2 Fallout is the same as languish and you can go to x=3 to kill opposing Tivits or X=1 to kill mana creatures but keep Talion. Also fun tech if you’re on countertop in Tivit: you can give yourself a rad counter with fallout and then spin top to always mill unneeded lands. Been on fallout since the set dropped. Card is gas.

    @@hinriksup it's grixis so it can only be so bad, but I think Armix has gone down in value recently. Creature decks are prevalent but are still pretty hated out by bowmasters and are being built to not be as hurt by that card. Generally I think grixis is favored to lean more proactive right now but depending on your meta armix could be worth it.
