I'm not one for CEDH myself - however, listening and watching these videos helps me understand the game more. Thank you!

[Locustnism]

Can you please stop making such quality content in such short period of time

[borosman]

Oh yeah! Where's the only Boros table at?

[kwhale]

I've been playing in cedh games for 2 years now and I'm still learning alot from these videos. Thx guys

[muratokutucu]

I am not looking to play cedh but man your narrator has such a nice voice to listen to. Also it is very helpful still and interesting for any edh player !

[TheGurdian]

Not gonna lie...I was geeking out about the dragonshield sealed sleeves I didn't know that was a thing!!!

[ThatsEvenBetterBrad]

I love how often your putting these videos out, I wasnt expecting more than 1 a week . Thank you!

DS sealable inner sleeves are the Best inner sleeves on the Market by Far.
Pros:

-They come in clear and smoked
-Water Proof

***Disclaimer***
They are water proof as long as you make sure all the extra trapped air is pressed out of the innerback of the sealable sleeve. I waterproof tested myself in dragon shields and UG katana sleeves .

Cons

-A little awkward at first to sleeve them up but like all things practice makes perfect.
-Sealable inner Sleeves make your deck Thicccc.
Especially if you have a all foil deck oof . *Rip UG Boulders

For the future video ideas I have two:
- What is the typical deck construction in cEDH? For example Command Zone had a video where they put out their general idea how the EDH deck should be built regarding amount of lands, mana ramp, card draw, target removal and board wipes. (Of course having variance because of who's commander and game strategy). 
- Going through your own deck or building a new cEDH deck from scratch and explaining why the deck has those cards to further the chance of winning. That kind of video(s) would be a lovely showcase how you approach deck building.

Enjoy this series. My buddies play on a higher level and watching these and gameplay vids are helpful for getting off the ground

[trestielmercader]

Whenever we play cedh w a new learner, the threshold for take-backs/do-overs is whenever new info is gained.

So, you better make sure to have done everything you wanted to do before anyone draws a card.

That kind o thing.

My first cedh game was a game where I was handed kess storm and facing off against 3 stax decks and I suffered for 2 hours

[devnakz]

From the creation of this channel I've become a much better MTG player. Keep up the great content!

[rcvu]

This series is perfect! Please keep it up!

[slothymtg]

Just recently got into cedh because of your content. These videos are so so helpful. Keep it up 🤘

[MrSpleenface]

"Deception is not okay" is a little bit simplistic IMO. While many people have differing opinions, most people I've played with say something like "no outright falsehoods". You can mislead people with subjective or vague statements, especially in response to requests for information.

[heatedchill]

This idea of "playing to win isn't the same as playing to have fun" is just bullhonky, I go into ALL sorts of games with the mentality of having fun, but winning while doing so. Great video, I've been enjoying this series a lot, keep up the good work!

[DanTomY]

I really enjoyed this video! A friend of mine has been encouraging me to look into the format more, this helped push me over the edge so I sleeved up some good cards and joined his cEDH table and had a whale of a time!

Don't get me wrong, great video, but I might take umbridge with one of the general points made in it:
When things like threat assessment, format knowledge and "making optimal plays" were being discussed, I felt like the message was "if you're not a good player, you're not really welcome at our table". And I'm not sure I like that. It could be that this is an interpretation thing, but I just feel like the message was "you must be this skillful to play this game". And that feels wrong to me, am I reading it wrong?

[ooxoo]

I love that you highlight how people play in cEDH: no spite plays and people play the most optimal moves. This is what brought me to cEDH, and even in a casual game I enjoy if people stick to that mentality. I hate to play with people who get mad when I destroy or disrupt his plans, if you don't want to be disrupted then you should go play solitaire.

[panzerjaeger]

Play with like minded people, that’s my take on the gist of the video and I stick to that.

To me it’s better to avoid groups that are just negative towards good and efficient plays and deck building.

You can sugarcoat / portray this as a PSA of sorts on how we should try to bridge the divide or convince what are good practices but it’s best to leave others be and move on if the attitude is not welcoming.
