We’re offering something different in this article, with our CEDH Tier List!

If you’re familiar with Magic: The Gathering (MTG), then you know that Commander is the most popular way to play it. But did you know that there’s a more high-octane version of the classic Commander? Enter, CEDH. CEDH stands for Competitive Elder Dragon Highlander. It’s essentially a more competitive version of Commander, where all players must do what it takes to win. In CEDH, it’s normal to unleash infinite combos early or search your deck every turn. It’s also common to build the most overpowered deck imaginable. And our CEDH Tier List can help you do that! Scroll down to see the best options if you’re looking to win a match! (Of course, you do! )

CEDH TIER LIST

There are plenty of Commanders that would fit nicely in an MTG deck, but to optimize your hand for a CEDH, you’ll need the best of the best. For this CEDH Tier List, we’re categorizing Commanders in one of six categories.

Those in S-Tier are your best options, given their power and utility in play. It’s best to build your decks around these cards. On the other hand, A-, B-, C-Tier options are still useful in CEDH, but aren’t as powerful as top-tier Commanders.
