Yes Kadena runs cards that hurt the table but it’s quite literally a Sultai control deck till it can find its win- this was a perfect showing by Kadena!! So many amazing decks showed here- this was my fav video in the past few months :)
Having played Kadena since the deck came out, an (average) Kadena deck only really has two cards which "hurt the table". One is Brine Elemental, which can lock enemies with the Pickles Combo and the other could be Ixidron which mostly affects opponents. I think there are worse and more stax-y decks out there.
That Kadena deck was pretty OP. Literally had answers to almost everything. That card draw denial with the ability countering morphed creature was brutal.
That is not OP but just well built. I have a Kadena deck and it almost always is the cheapest deck at the table but with the draw, ramp and interaction synergy it is also one of the most resilient
I run Brine Elemental in Kadena because there are very few wincons that are morph-specific and not just overrun effects. And the combo with Vesuvan Shapeshifter feels like a "morph win" to me.
Totally agree, besides, you need to cast two morphs, pay 7 to Morph the Elemental, pay 2 to Morph the Shapeshifter AND THEN hope for the opponents to not have a single removal for one of the two.
at 11:58, the kadena guy manifests a card from his hand, drawing a card from kadena, and then he starts search for a card in his deck (I don't understand why). He ends up by playing Vizier of Menagerie. After that, he look at the first card on the top of his deck and passes. Did I missed something?
Reckon it's "ee-roh-us", if you wanna go for the Greek pronunciation of Iroas. Wernog+Bjorna is a fun combination, though I really wish it was 2 life so your opponents would be more inclined to play along.
I'm a slinking man, I see Kadena, I morph and click. What a game. Regarding Brine Elemental, at least he didn't have the Pickles Combo and it was activated only once 🤷
I never ran brine elemental in kadena cause it seemed unfun but I took the deck apart because storming for 5 minutes straight or playing a turn on everyone else’s turn lost it’s charm too
Sadly, brine elemental is a necessary evil in Kadena. The deck is a great tempo engine, and that's it. She needs that extra turn granted by it. I love the deck, I've tried many times to be agressive with it, but let's face it, it's not the way the deck is meant to be played. I've won last weekend game exactly in the same way: 1 life, pickle and craterhoof. I've took the deck apart again, it has become my "1 time per year deck" 'cause it really consumes the table. Nonethless, great game guys.
At this point I've seen the Faldorn deck enough times to develop an opinion on it. 1st, it's bad, which its pilot seems to acknowledge. That's fine, I love playing bad decks sometimes. But having Scroll Rack and Sensei's Top in there is just too much. I get that you want topdeck knowledge in an exile matters deck, but these two cards are overkill. It's a low CMC deck, you don't need to be that careful about your draws, all the rack and top do with Faldorn is durdle. For the deck's sake please replace these cards with actual finishers, it's Gruul for Christ's sake.
Time to gang up on every Kadena player in my playgroup. Unfun element is not allowed in EDH and therefore, they must be culled so they can never be a MtG player ever again. _rips out their ID core and crushes them_

Agreed, not OP, it's just a deck with clever responses.
Kadena is a very powerfull deck because nobody expect you to win. You always have a toolbox on the field and a full hand.
I enjoy your videos when I am getting awake in the morning. Its very relaxing.
The only point of life that matters is the last one :)
Great showing by the Kadena deck!

Yeah! I read that card as morph: Take an extra turn. And that would be too strong to not run if it was real!
Totally agree, besides, you need to cast two morphs, pay 7 to Morph the Elemental, pay 2 to Morph the Shapeshifter AND THEN hope for the opponents to not have a single removal for one of the two.
Great game. Wonderful interaction by all the decks too.
This is the earliest I've been to one of these videos
i knew the Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer player was going to win, but i didn't think they'd win from being at 1 life.
Man those last few turns were sweaty, gg
Love seeing Mazzy!!!
You know a game is casual when someone plays a great furnace before his reckless fireweaver
This might have impacted the game 🙃
What a turn about

Trail of mysteries, an enchantment under the expanded cards on the screen, lets them search for a basic land card and add it to hand
Reckon it's "ee-roh-us", if you wanna go for the Greek pronunciation of Iroas.
Wernog+Bjorna is a fun combination, though I really wish it was 2 life so your opponents would be more inclined to play along.

RIP to the internet cable 😭
What a win!

Fantastic gsme, didn’t expect but so glad Kadena won 🏆
How did Felix die?
Cool Video as usual ! Where do these cute tokens (clue, treasure) come from ?
One life and a dream!
I made my Wernog/Bjorna deck built more around Bjorna cuz I love goad but looks like maybe I should focus more on Wernog
I guess that brine elemental got everyone a little... salty 🧂
That is the best Craterhoof Behemoth!
SLAM that Hoof!
Kadena!!! LETS GOOOOO! my favorite commander
Would Max be interested in the new Pia Nalaar? She's basically boros Faldorn, arguably better
I myself switched from faldorn to the new Rocco so I can play both in the same deck 😅
clutchhoof behemoth
lets go Faldorn!!!
Yeaaah kadena!
eventually Faldorn will win, and on that day, I will be there in the comment section extremely happy :)
My Kadena deck just wins with Brine Elemental because I just put it back in my hand.
How come this mans has a Top and a Scrollrack and mismatched lands 😂

yea the deck is pretty bad I guess he doesn't want to try and make it better
Jesus, so many missed Impact Tremors triggers. Whats the point of running the card if you're not gonna use it.
