{"ops":[{"insert":"My local playgroup has been delving more and more deeply into cEDH, so I, being the arrogant deck-builder that I am, "},{"attributes":{"color":"#0079d3","link":"https://twitter.com/DougYnerd/status/1582141114760323072/photo/1"},"insert":"of course went ahead and built a hipster, 100% Proxied, cEDH brew from scratch."},{"insert":"\n\n5c10c was built on a simple premise and question: Is having a 10 card \"hand\" and access to all five colors enough to make a good cEDH deck all on its own?\n\nFrom there, several decisions were made for me: The commanders would have to be [[Mike, the Dungeon Master]] (Othelm, Sigardian Outcast) and [[Eleven, the Mage]] (Cecily, Haunted Mage), as these are the only Partner commanders with access to five-color. This isn't entirely bad, as we'll cover later the combos that Mike can pull off, and Eleven, while underwhelming, does draw cards in a pinch.\n\nThat just left the Companion to use with them. There are eight that are useable in EDH, what with Lutri being banned and Yorion violating the 100-card maximum. Of those, four don't work with our chosen commanders. That left Jegantha, Keruga, and Umori. Umori was right out, as I can't think of any conceivable way you could play at the cEDH level with only creatures in your deck, and more or less the same goes for Zirda and their requirement that every nonland have an activated ability.\n\nSo, the only serious companions to consider were [[Keruga, the Macrosage]], and [[Jegantha, the Wellspring]], both of which would still come with severe drawbacks to what we can include. I do still want to build another version with Jegantha in the Companion Zone, but ultimately I decided on Keruga here, because I have access to all five colors of free/reduced cost spells, and ultimately her ability is just "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"a lot"},{"insert":" better than Jegantha's.\n\nSo, we've got three different creatures with relevant abilities we'll always have access to, which have ascending CMCs of three, four, and five. That pretty much screams Birthing Pod, does it not?\n\nBut enough introduction...\n\nTL;DR/Actual Primer"},{"attributes":{"header":1},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nThe deck plays as your average Pod Stax deck, only many of your typical staples can't be played due to Keruga. With that in mind, what you're looking for in an opening hand changes drastically.

An on-board Vivien immediately gets you this combo if you have a 3 CMC creature, as you can search for Blink Cat, then sac blink cat to get Karmic Guide to recur Blink Cat, then sac blink cat again to get Kiki-Jiki, which will then make a copy of Karmic Guide, getting you back blink cat to get infinite copies with Kiki-Jiki."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Untappers: Similar to Blink Cat in that most go infinite with Kiki-Jiki, the untappers also go infinite with Splinter Twin. They're a bit harder to Pod up, as Village Bell-Ringer, [[Deceiver Exarch]], and Goblin Sharpshooter all cost three mana in a deck where you don't have any permanents that cost two, but luckily you can cheat with someone else's two-cost creature and a copy effect like Cursed Mirror or Phyrexian Metamorph. Note, however, that Sharpshooter only goes infinite with Twin, not Kiki-Jiki, and only does so if there's a creature with one toughness on board. Also note that you don't need Twin or Kiki-Jiki to do this same untap loop with Mike and Ashnod's Altar, although you do need a Sharpshooter, [[Mayhem Devil]] or the new Elesh Norn to do anything with all those enters and dies triggers."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Unicorn Queen: [[Emiel, the Blessed]] is a great value piece for the deck, but also goes infinite with [[Hornet Queen]] and Ashnod's Altar.

Emiel can also get you infinite Treasure/ETBs if you have a copy effect (Phyrexian Metamorph/Cursed Mirror) and there's a Dockside Extortionist on the table. This will kill with either a Goblin Sharpshooter or a Mayhem Devil, and can also draw your entire deck with Keruga. You can also accomplish infinite ETB's with Faeburrow Elder and Emiel, although you need to have two green or two blue available to make it into infinite mana and card draw with Keruga.

Since Felidar Guardian can't target itself, however, you need another means of making the ETBs into a loop. The easiest is a copy effect like Cursed Mirror or Phyrexian Metamorph, which then allow you to blink Cat/Copy and another card indefinitely, although there are some much less straightforward combinations that can eventually result in a win if you don't have the easy components on hand (your prominent ETBs are Keruga, Village Bell-Ringer, Deceiver Exarch, Eternal Witness, Karmic Guide, Trophy Mage, Recruiter of the Guard, and Imperial Recruiter)."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\n"}]}
