JudgeCast #373 – CEDH

So, since the pandemic, and even a little bit before, players started clamoring for, because EDH as a whole, super, super popular, right? And it pulled in a lot of people from...

Standard and modern and legacy, because the non-rotating...

The format of EDH is so young and naive.

The non-rotating structure of EDH or Commander was very, very popular to people.

And, you know, it's a great way to play with friends.

And...

You know, whenever something starts becoming super popular, people want to maybe look to see if there's a way that they can prove that they're the best in terms of money.

Or at least that's how I think CEDH became a thing.

Marcus, do you have a different opinion?

No, that kind of sums it up.

People like playing Commander a lot and just felt like getting spikier.

And then before you know it, they were demanding tournaments.

And here we are.

Yup.

You know, so cue up in their internal monologue, they were playing that song from the Karate Kid, you're the best around.

And thus, CEDH became a format where there is no rule zero asterisk.

Everything's on the table.

Don't complain about anything.

Everything's legit.

As if they still would not find things that they're going to complain about.

So

this this right here, because CEDH is and has become rightly or wrongly has become more popular.

There is a need or a desire for events and anywhere that there are events, there are judges or there should be.

Not that we're kind of like moss that way.

We just, you know, pop up and grow.
