Cedh database2/19/2023 ![]() It’s a lot easier having a central repository instead of digging through a bunch of discords to find a deck.Ĭinestra : The two sections that we have on the database kind of reflect what Sick is talking about there, because we have the main database and then we have the brewers corner. The other person we’re trying to reach is the established cEDH player who wants to brew their own deck, and the database is a place to see what the meta is like, somewhere they can draw inspiration from. We want to provide a curated resource for them. Even if they just have a look around or whatever, see what cEDH is. One is someone who's been watching cEDH content and wants to get to know the decks they’re seeing played, or maybe they want to build their own deck. Jake: Who are you trying to reach with the database? What does the ideal consumer look like? An earlier iteration of the cEDH decklist database, circa 2019 So Average Dragon went ahead and put together an entire fancy website and then he brought on a bunch of new moderators, which is when I joined the team, along with Sugandaraja, asm, and Wedge. It began with the goal of helping out that issue, and then Average brought on Maynard as another administrator and it sort of grew bigger than a Google sheet could handle. To find a deck back then, you’d be trawling through the subreddit and MTG Salvation and random Tappedout profiles, and it was a nightmare. Sickrobot : Yeah, it was started by Average Dragon, who’s now our resident developer, as just a collection of whatever cEDH lists he could find, because at the time, four years ago or so, the cEDH community was a lot more decentralized. Jake: Where did the idea of the database come from? Most Commander websites aren't a curated selection of decks.Ĭinestra : I definitely remember it starting as a Google spreadsheet. ![]() This interview has been edited for clarity and length. This week I had the chance to talk with them. They've held down the fort through thick and thin to see the database flourish and gain not just mainstream recognition, but praise from a member of the CAG. Part of that success, I'd wager, comes from the warmth and passion at the core of the database, front-facing managers Sickrobot, 23, and Cinestra, 25. ![]() In 2022, at over 125 decks and with more unique visitors than ever before, the database is at an all-time high. It also stands alone – there are no other sites like it. It stands tall in the cEDH community as a repository and reference point, a collection of decks vetted for viability at a competitive level. Run by a small, growing, and dedicated team, the cEDH Decklist Database has been a nexus of competitive information since December of 2017. If you would like to provide suggestions, please leave a comment (and ideally a link to a decklist).Thassa's Oracle | Illustrated by Jesper Esjing Other Commanders in those colour combinations were evaluated entirely by their own merit. you can take Doomsday Zur from the Maximum Power category, replace Zur the Enchanter with Halfdane and the deck would still be quite strong, we chose to only list those builds together with their most optimal choice of General for the sake of clarity. While some colour combinations in EDH have mostly Commander-independent builds, e.g. Below, you'll find definitions for each power level along with links to sample lists for Maximum Power and Competitive decks.įor Casual and Mid Power decks, we recommend using EDHREC to find deck-specific staples, strategies, and sample decklists.įor High Power and above, we recommend checking the Decklist Database maintained by Average Dragon from the cEDH Discord for further sample lists. This list seeks to categorize all multiplayer EDH-legal Commanders.
