Our Patrons Jorge & Eric join us for some Fringe cEDH Gameplay: Korvold vs Chulane vs Tayam vs Kasla

Deck & Commander Strategies

• 

  Korvold, Fae-Cursed King

  Leverages sacrifice outlets and card draw from permanents to generate explosive value, then executes a combo loop with Underworld Breach and Grinding Station to mill opponents and win via Praetor's Grasp or Mayhem Devil interactions.

• 

  Chulane, Teller of Tales

  Floods the board with creatures to trigger Chulane’s draw ability, aiming to generate infinite mana and draw through the deck with learn mechanics, eventually killing with Walking Ballista.

• 

  Tayam, Luminous Enigma

  Slows the board with stack effects and sets up combo lines involving infinite Eldrazi spawn tokens and mana generation using Rosie Cotton and Basking Rootwalla, finishing with life drain from Zulaport Cutthroat.

• 

  Kasla, the Broken Halo

  Uses convoke to cast spells and gain card advantage, setting up a combo with J Sky Ascendancy and Invasion of Segovia to draw the entire deck and win through a breach combo.
