Welcome back to Bite Sized Magic!

Today, we’re breaking down one of the most talked-about new decks in cEDH — Gwenom, Remorseless — with its pilot Nebyula, who recently top 4’d with this powerful list. Alongside my co-host Jared, we dive deep into how Gwenom plays, wins, and how to use Hypergeometric Calculation to make it even stronger.

You’ll learn:

🕷️ The core strategy behind Gwenom, Remorseless — how it turns card advantage and recursion into relentless pressure.

🧠 Key combo lines, win conditions, and pivot plays that make the deck competitive.

🛠️ How to tune your list using nerd math.

Whether you’re a brewer looking for inspiration, a cEDH player wanting to understand the deck’s lines, or just curious how a Spider-Man villain ended up running a top-tier deck, this is a must-watch.

🔗 Check out Nebyula’s decklist:

Welcome back to Bite Sized Magic! Today’s podcast is all about leveling up your game — How to Become a Top-Level cEDH Player. We’re joined today by Hebrew Hercules, AKA Kellen Cuen. Whether you’re brand new to the format or already grinding tournaments, this guide will give you the tools, mindset, and habits you need to compete with the best.We’ll talk about the most common struggles players face when they’re trying to improve, like:- Feeling overwhelmed because there’s too much to learn at once.- Mulligans that feel impossible to get right.- Getting lost in the meta or constantly chasing the newest decklist.- Blaming the deck when the real issue was a play mistake.- Never reviewing your games, just moving on and repeating errors.Then, we’ll cover smarter ways to approach improvement, like:- Setting focused goals — working on one skill at a time (e.g., sequencing mana or learning to read interaction).- Building structured practice instead of aimless grinding.- Developing habits that let you steadily close the gap between “playing games” and “actually getting better.”🍀 Support the channel with Liquid Luck and pick up some of the best-looking proxies around: https://liquidluckgaming.com/?sca_ref=9678202.4SFiDwHNt1n🏆 Upcoming cEDH Events I’ll Be At:🎟️ The Fishbowl (San Diego): https://topdeck.gg/event/the-fishbowl-san-diego-copy🎟️ The Onboard Gaming Gauntlet 5K (Pomona): https://topdeck.gg/event/on-board-gauntlet-5k-cedh-event📬 Connect with Me🐦 Twitter/X: https://x.com/SnackAdler277💬 Discord: snack5322📣 DM me about:The California cEDH Circuit 🌴1-on-1 Coaching 🎓🏴‍☠️ Join the Dargo Discord: https://discord.gg/9FAu6MQt🔔 Subscribe for future episodes!👍 Like the podcast if you enjoyed the yap!

Today I’m joined by Notorius to break down one of the strongest—if not the strongest—mono-blue commanders in cEDH right now: Arcum Dagsson.This episode is a full deep dive into how Arcum actually wins games at high levels, what separates strong pilots from great ones, and how to navigate the political landscape this deck creates at competitive tables.🔍 In this episode, we cover:Card Choices — Why certain inclusions matter, flex slots, and what makes Arcum’s core engine so powerful.Combo Lines — How to sequence your lines cleanly, how to pivot when disrupted, and what your primary vs. backup win paths look like.How to Politic With the Deck — Arcum isn’t just raw speed; table perception and threat management are everything. We talk about how to appear harmless, when to speak up, and how to leverage politics to buy the critical turn you need.If you're interested in mastering Arcum Dagsson or want to understand how to play against it, this episode is for you.---Notorius' InfoLink Tree: https://linktr.ee/notorious_mtgMana Vault Proxies: https://manavaultproxies.com---Check Out the California Circuit🌴 Register for the Circuit: https://californiaedhcircuit.com/become-a-partner/---💬 This Week’s Giveaway brought to you by Mana Vault Proxies: Comment what you will do if you win Notorius' deck from mana vault proxies!---Events I’m Going to:The Cosmic Crown Championships: https://topdeck.gg/event/cosmic-crown-championship-central-coast-california-leagueBreach the Bay - January 24th Bay Area: https://topdeck.gg/event/breach-the-bay-cedh-10kNext Year: Just Jam D-Grid Arizona Event: https://topdeck.gg/event/d-grid-on-the-stack---💸 Sponsors1️⃣ Mana Vault Proxies — Premium MTG proxies, fast shipping, insane quality.🌐 [https://manavaultproxies.com](https://manavaultproxies.com/)🧃 Use code SNACK for 5% off your order!2️⃣ DootLoot — A treasure-filled cEDH Discord where you can buy, sell, and collect rare foils, alters, and exclusives.💎 Join here: https://discord.gg/dootloot---🎨 Artists & Channel Support🖌️ Pedro Banjo — Discord: `pedrobanjo`🧊 CamSit — [https://camsit.carrd.co](https://camsit.carrd.co/) | Discord: `cloneguin`---🎵 Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/Ui6BP7zDqm4---📬 Connect with Me🐦 Twitter: https://x.com/SnackAdler277💬 Discord: snack5322📣 DM me about:🌴 The California cEDH Circuit🎓 1-on-1 Coaching👍 Like if you enjoyed the interview💬 Comment the biggest takeaway for a chance to win Kai’s token pack!🔔 Subscribe for more Bite Sized Magic
