Gemstone Mine cEDH Podcast

Hello and welcome to Gemstone Mine. If you've found us, you probably already know about the Magic: the Gathering format known as "Commander". This podcast will bring knowledge and insights to players who are looking to up their game, and maybe even learn a few things from the most powerful corner of the Commander format: the cEDH metagame. Even if cEDH really isn't your cup of tea, we think there are some useful lessons to be learned from what people are using the most powerful cards in the history of Magic for. From building and discussing the most powerful decks in the history of the format, to interviewing other creators to learn about their wacky fringe cEDH decks, Gemstone Mine has you covered for Competitive Commander!

    Rakdos in cEDH - cEDH Decktech | Lessons from cEDH

    cEDH is a metagame where breakneck speed is almost taken for granted. Rakdos is a color combination that gets all the 0-mana artifact-based ramp in addition to the best rituals in the format and the added consistency of unconditional tutors, making it a powerful shell to build turbo decks in. This week, John breaks down the core strengths of Rakdos in cEDH, how to use the tools this color gives you outside of cEDH tables, and a bonus Lesson from cEDH about how you too can interact on the stack (even without access to blue!). 00:00 Introduction 01:38 Fusion Ad 02:33 Rakdos in cEDH 07:07 cEDH Without Blue 12:17 Weaknesses for Rakdos 13:35 Winning with Rakdos 14:47 Rakdos Beyond cEDH 18:12 Closing Thoughts s://www.FusionGamingOnline.com Want a 5% discount off all of your MTG order?
