  • Zur is better without shimmer
    Y’all are incredible!!
    Gotta say you guys are far and away among the top tier of podcasts I listen to and that’s a hilariously large number. Love the energy, the tangents, the dedication and all the shenaniganery you guys get up to, keep it up! Also a question or two, I’ve heard you and several others bring up Zur recently and I only ever hear about shimmer/necro central strategies. I recently went to Zur as well but I went in an entirely different direction. There are a surprisingly large number of two card combos in cEDH that involve cmc 3 or less (Heliod Ballista and Abdel Adrian/Animate Dead as my primary two examples) that allow you to do the one card combo thing with any tutor you draw and just a bunch of other random draws as well. A similar deal with Ramirez Di-Pietro, a partner from Commander Legends. I remember a ton of discussion when it first came out around self-mill spells being effectively tutors, but nobody mentioned the fact that it literally provides an extra demonic tutor (unmarked grave) and an extra better d tutor (entomb) at the very minimum in addition to making doomsday lines hilariously simple with almost no setup, being an insane card draw/selection engine with things like mesmeric orb and working splendidly well with Armix (my current partner of choice) in staxed out board states. I’ve only lost a single game in the last two months with these decks but I’ve never heard anyone mention anything along either of those lines and I’ve always wondered why. I would hugely appreciate even just a brief comment on the idea (especially the Zur one). I know it’s a little outside your wheelhouse and I can’t even do it via Patreon/discord support as much as I wish I could, but it would mean a lot to just comment on it. I love all the work you all do to make our cEDH space a better and more informed world, keep up the amazing work!! Sorry that got a lot a bit long by the way, I have a tendency to ramble a little bit 😅
  • Toxrill Fan
    Amazing show
    Best show! Is toxrill viable cedh?
  • Jon138Youth
    Best Cedh cast!
    Very informative and entertaining! My favorite podcast to listen to each week!
  • Nateisselfindulged
    Amazing Show
    As a relatively new magic player the show gives really great insight on deck building decisions and cedh in general. By far my favorite magic podcast.
  • cully________
    🔥🔥🔥
    This Podcast is equivalent to turn one ad nausium with split second, grand abolisher in play, and force of will back up. Cal is daddy
  • DillonOord
    cEDH Haven
    One of the things I truly look forward to every week. Great host and excellent guests who have respectful conversation,witty banter and varying viewpoints that all contribute to a great overall listening experience. The tips and tricks make me a little better in every aspect of the game although my wallet hurts from the card purchases I make as a result of listening 😂 keep up the good work!
  • dtgstephens
    Checks all of the boxes
    I don’t miss an episode, and there are even some that I’ll replay several times. Every episode is fun, informative, thought provoking, and inclusive; basically everything you’d want from the EDH community.
  • johnnyillfigure
    The Crème Brûlée of cEDH content
    These lads always make for an interesting cast, always have the spicy takes, best stories, and of course the dankest tangents. The equivalent of a five star meal every time, bravo. Well done m8’s
  • jinismydude
    Great Podcast
    This is the first podcast I recommend to anyone when they ask for cedh content it’s insightful as well as entertaining to watch great to listen to while delivering packages on the job never miss one keep up the great work guys.
  • Manus Et Lex
    Chopped out all the fun.
    Used to love this podcast now its okay. They changed the format from a long form unedited discussion, aka a “podcast”, to weirdly chopped bullet points with boring piano filler in between. Miss the old format and wish you didn’t feel the need to pay gate what used to be free.
  • straight2evan
    Still top tier
    👍
  • MTGPastor
    Need to get your Cedh fix?
    This is a girthy good podcast. Perfect to sit down with your raycon wireless earbuds and absorb the wisdom that is Ardenn. All seriousness, fantastic podcast for Cedh players old and new. Best space for hearing from the pros on how to improve your game. Thanks for all the hard work that goes into this podcast!
  • RUNNER2Dmax
    CEDH made approachable
    Subscribing to the mind sculptors is an easier win than getting 20 counters with Simic Ascendancy. These guys make cedh approachable, have relevant, timely content, and interview top tier guests often. Whether you are curious about or steeped in edh content, hit subscribe. You will not regret it. Trust me, I’m definitely not a Dimir Informant.
  • Ken Standish
    Best CEDH podcast bar none.
    *Slaps roof of Buick* you can fit so many good takes and Najeela cards in this beauty of a podcast. Good banter, great takes and even better people, this podcast has it all and I’m always looking forward to Mondays because it’s Sculpty Bois pod day! In summation, that’s why you should vote for the Mindsculptor’s pod as sole survivor of Season 43 of Cedh survivor!
  • Aidan.Schauer
    Great way to pass the day!
    Normally listen on YouTube but graduated to podcast. Love love love all the content. Full tim dad and worker drone, so this helps me play catch up. I get just a little bit better with every episode. Thanks!

  • narples420
    Love the show!
    Thanks to the mono-white guys segments I can now hold my own in my playgroup playing stax. Now the only problem is they all hate me now so it’s a win-win really. Keep up the good stuff and Lavinia is pretty cool.
  • HollowBrisco
    Perfect Podcast!
    This show is always delivering amazing content and giving amazing information week to week that help you develop as a player and as a person! Listening to this podcast from the beginning has helped me be a better player
  • Braeden reviews
    One of the best magic game theory podcast
    I enjoy listening to content creators talk about deck building and game theory. I want to be a better player and listen for thoughts on deductions you guys make. I love the episodes where you each built a commander or pair in a different way as I consider myself a brewer as well.
  • Sandkeeper21
    An S tier CEDH podcast
    As a long time CEDH player myself I'm always learning something new by listening to this podcast. With outstanding input from some of the formats best minds, I'm learning something new from every episode. Thank you Callahan and keep up the good work!
  • :) :) :) :) :) :) :)888
    Amazing!
    This podcast is great, how you guys manage to have 5.0 stars doesn’t surprise me. Happy to learn from this podcast as I am new it helps me get the advantage at my playgroup.
  • TheHolyMoose
    Great cEDH Podcast
    Questions for Callahan: do you think USC with Lincoln Riley will overtake The Ohio State University as the class of the Big 10(16) in 2024? How long until we have one or two “Superconferences” of 40-60 teams that pay their players? Podcast review: as someone who primarily interacts with cEDH by just watching, not building or playing, love the insights. Understand what I’m seeing so much more now than when I started
  • Underdog8274
    Nice
    This podcast is the equivalent to resolving a “Silence” when you have the win in hand 🔥
  • Duogsri
    It’s the bees knees
    Bees are in wheelchairs because this podcast is so good
  • DTrain5742
    Best cEDH Podcast
    Callahan has collected an all-star roster of the top players and community figures in cEDH for this show. Consistently great discussion about the latest cards, decks, and strategies that the format has to offer. If you like EDH, especially at the highest power level, definitely check this show out.
  • Millard Arnold V
    Entertaining and engaging
    This podcast is fantastic not only for those enfranchised within the cEDH community, but also for newcomers and people who are just taking a look. Callahan, the primary host of the podcast delivers a consistently good show and interesting take on the format.
  • The Anthony Melo
    Entertaining and informative
    Great energy and delivery. Highly recommend. Pongo bringing everyone back to earth when they get too high on a card makes me laugh every time. Makes my work day go smoother. Thank you for the content.
  • greek god 101
    I love this
    Plz more Ian
  • WhyDoTheyMakeUsComeUpWithAName
