To start I want to identify three important pillars of cEDH as a format: speed, consistency, and power/efficiency. Have the knowledge of where the borders between EDH and cEDH actually exist. Term cEDH around at many high powered decks and strategies, because they don’t Similarly, cEDH needs to be defined as having certain limits in order toīe identifiable, which is why you often see inexperienced players throw the Nebulously open ended that they start to lose their function in conceptualizing So today I want toĭefine what cEDH is to help everyone have a better understanding of the format.ĭefinitions need to, by nature, have limitations otherwise they become so Like in general, both because of a lack of information.
