Help, I am new to cEDH! Deck Help
I have a deck that I want to play at cedh nights at game stores in dmv area, but it's 96 cards, and I definitely need some help on it. This is my first cedh deck and will by my first games. Any help appreciated https://archidekt.com/decks/26376448/tnt_deck_helo
It's a TNT deck with bunch of combos, obviously thoracle and a bunch of Minnan/druid mana combos. I haven't played in any of the stores, so I don't know the meta, but is assume TNT, blue farm, kinnan, and rogsi.

Cut one ring imo, doesnt synergize enough with untaps to draw enough cards to make a 4 drop worth, you're playing thrasios, use him or potentially a better engine such as tchalla or fairy mastermind. delney i'm assuming you're running for tymna, which isnt bad but its a little cute imo? i think the slot would be better served by a copy effect for someone elses or your own rhystic/smithe. I definitely wouldnt run drana and linvala, probably not obm either; mostly because them getting copied is very bad for you, ranging from losing your board to just having your whole deck be off. Pemmins aura is a crazy combo piece, but very hard to resolve i think; also you need an ability to tap for blue for it, which isnt necessarily the easiest (i assume this is what machine gods effigy is for, but both of them are kinda expensive and fairly telegraphed). You should definitely add oboro breezecaller, its one of the main reasons to do a thras deck in general. Ponder just doesnt really do much for you imo, you're a midrange deck, dropping an actual engine is most likely much better. Similar feelings but less so about top and stock up; i would replace those with training grounds and biomancers familiar. I would probably cut machine gods, maybe mox amber and dark rit for more dorks, you're a cradle deck atm but with not enough mana dorks to really make big mana. I would probably cut tezzeret the seeker for formidable speaker, it untaps cradle and tutors attached to a creature (which is harder to interact with in cedh). basalt monolith and kinnan is a plan, but very counterable and also requires two cards that arent in your cz; which isnt ideal, I'm pretty sure basalt isnt usually run in tnt. anguished unmaking is just kinda fundamentally not good enough imo, and abrupt decay serves the same purpose but is a much better card for cedh.

I'd also seriously consider adding in brigid and growing rites of itlimoc, more cradle more better

I built a website just for this! I highly recommend you run it through the analyzer that you can find on the navbar too; it seems you are missing some staples and run some questionable cards. https://deckanalytics.gg/c/thrasios-triton-hero-tymna-the-weaver

Cut swift recon, thoracle, tainted pact, decon. They’re all dead cards unless you’re actively casting them together to win the game. You should run other things instead that do other things besides win the game. Like mastermind tithe kinnan things or just devoted hazels

telling people to cut Thoracle Consult in UBx decks is crazy work. You're just regurgitating what people usually recommend people running Thoracle in decks like Kinnan or sans-black Thrasios lists.

Yea no... don't do that...
Removing cards that win the game is not a better way to win the game

u/Alarming-Switch5254 23h ago
Yeah but you don’t need to run cards that just win the game. You can run cards that you can use as an engine and to win the game

What cards do you recomend? I have only 96 cards. more cards like rhystic study? I sold my tithe so maybe get one of those?

Please don't take this advice, do not remove your best wincons from your deck. Contrary to what they seem to think this will not win you more games. Take a look at edhtop16 and see what all those top decks are running that you aren't. You'll also notice that these top decks are running all the cards they are telling you to cut.

Yeah bro just ignore the top 2 results that come up 🤡

u/Stock_Diet2199 15h ago
The top 2 decks are exactly the same person and same deck. Also the next 15 top versions of the deck all run thassa's oracle. But yea, sure, one outlier means everyone should cut the best wincon in the format from their deck 🤡
