    To clarify: my intent isn't to build $25 decks that can beat budgetless CEDH tables. The goal of the series is to build with a CEDH mentality without any casual restrictions. It's meant to let people dip their toes into CEDH style of play at the most affordable price point.
    Further explanation and sample deck lists can be found in the accompanying article: www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/budget-cedh-vadrik-storm-25-and-beyond

      Truly appreciate the disclaimer, I was worried that as a budgetless cEDH player, the entry floor would enter at the 25$ deck and these players wouldnt have a good time in budgetless pods.
      Keep on keepin on, Tomer :)

      I believe the term used for these style decks at a local I've been to is "pub-stomper" where your win conditions aren't as Mana / card / efficient but you still run the most powerful deck you can, fetches duals fast rocks etc, except now with a budget. Very cool!

    This deck seems great! I might suggest adding in a high tide, to help with popping off with frantic search, and also add in any of snap or turnabout type spells that remain within budget.

      Keep in mind that the $25 version will still be at a significant disadvantage versus a budgetless CEDH table. Money pays for speed and consistency, so you can still win but you'll be much slower than the rest of the table.

    I really enjoyed this. I like a no-holds barred game. I doubt this will survive against a full-on cEDH table but I haven't seen it in action. It's a good cheap baseline for further upgrades. I also liked the format & length of the video.

      It would be at a significant disadvantage versus a budgetless CEDH table. It could still steal wins but you'd be the slowest deck at the table. The intent of this video is to build with a CEDH mindset (prioritize winning, ignore casual restrictions and taboos) and let people dip their toe into a CEDH style deck.

    Fantastic deck, built the 100$ list (and updated a few cards here and there) and won my pods 3/4 play sessions I've had with it so far. We aren't cedh but we like to run high-power stuff like yisan, orvar and a godo helm. That said it's an all in deck so expect to lose if you misplay or get vadrick killed. To everyone saying clout of the dominus isn't worth it, it 100% is just for the protection, 3 power will usually win you the game if you get birgi/storm-kiln out.

    I think this is a great idea. A good entry point for someone who wants to pick up a deck and try to start playing towards that CEDH mentality. Now I want to try and bling out your budget idea into a fully powered CEDH deck. I need to try that binder place holder idea you had a while back so I don’t have to dismantle existing decks haha.
    I love yours and Seth’s content because it makes me want to brew something with whatever you all are talking about. Also if anyone complains saying this isn’t CEDH just add to the title “Is this CEDH?” Budget. At worst they click to discuss lol

    Tomer, I cant say how damn happy this video made me. I will religiously watch every single one of these and I think a lot of people enjoy this sort of content so I sincerely hope you make more of these. cEDH seems very daunting with high cost and how to sequence correctly to really pop off for a lot of people, but it's still appealing. So showing budget decks with a video primer that gives you enough know-how about each card to be semi-confident can help a lot of those people. This video is *chef's kiss*

    First of all, know that this does not come from a mean place. The idea you could play red OR blue at a cedh table (much less both) for $25-100 is not even amusing: It’s damaging to the format. The countless times I’ve seen players sit down at a table, frankly with lists much more refined than this, and then become upset that they cannot begin to compete is why the format is viewed so negatively by the community. I expect better when there is LITERALLY a database compiled for cedh by some of them most dedicated and invested players of the format which anyone can view if they searched “cedh” in their engine.
