Love the input! I had always preached that with a printer and a CEDH deck list as construction instructions, you basically have a super beginner friendly deck-building “model kit”. This perfectly describes how I feel.
haha. to be fair i do think that starting to play a tribal deck with goblins, rats or vampires etc would be something a new player would pick up faster. but since so many wincons in cEDH ends in similar steps, its easier for a new player to recognise when an opponent might be going for a win, if they are playing something similar. not to mention cEDH will teach the player about the stack, removal, counters, recursion etc. once the new player learns their loop/loops they will 100% be a better magic player than somone that never played cEDH. they will recognise threats and be able to assess that in a better way too! and like with my kinnan deck, ive spent time writing up a primer, a literal guide on how to play my version of the deck. something many cEDH players do. that is something you dont really see in casual either.
*Great question!* It depens a lot on my hand ofc. but its often better to activate kinnan to get combo creatures out than to tutor for them. escpecially for things with big mana like hullbreaker horror. Even creatures like consecrated sphinx would be a creature i dont want to hard cast if possible. i have 2 humans in the deck and they just tutor for basalt monolith, or energy refractor as they enter. so that tends to be the only creatures i would tutor for. if i have basalt out and feel like i have protection enough. i might tutor for a wincon if i dont have an outlet in my hand or field yet. but most of the time i try to push the mana into kinnan for value if i can and my hand doesnt have immediate value :) And i added my decklist in the descrition too. and i have a primer there that describes the deck a bit aswell!
@itsellysaurus I do agree with everything you said though, and would be likely to give this video to people when they are being stupid and don't agree to listen when I try to say something (this is also an account with my dead name so I kinda regret sending this from here 😑)
@@itsellysaurus I don't see what is the problem with having a meta and then rule 0 anything that people don't like... The worst part is when I say something like this they will say not everyone wants to have that conversation, so firstly if you don't have that conversation the game is not going to be actually balanced and someone will 100% have a much stronger deck or a troll deck, and secondly you can tell those people that you won't play with them! Like I don't play edh since it's never balanced and most of the times at least someone will do nothing, and when you have interaction people are annoyed... The only time I think edh is actually fun is in cubes drafts and precon battles
*I added the decklist for my Kinnan cEDH deck in the description!* 🥰
Great takes, good stuff

It's called highlander because there can be only one highlander!
Enjoy your new home we missed you

With your cedh deck, do you activate Kinnan for "value" or only when going for combo win? Also how many non-human creatures are you running in it.
