cedh.io refocuses on deck tuning, drops browsing and tournament pages

cedh.io completed a major refactor that removes the site's commander, tournament, and player browsing features so the project can concentrate on deck analysis and tuning. The developer framed the change as a deliberate choice to avoid duplicating EDHTop16's tournament browse functions and to specialize in helping players build and sharpen competitive Commander lists.

The rollout, announced January 15, 2026, introduced a suite of new and updated features aimed at common cEDH workflows. Moxfield integration now lets users paste a Moxfield URL and have cedh.io pull the deck automatically; supporter accounts receive one-click sync for streamlined updates. Package analysis got practical upgrades, including the ability to include or exclude individual cards while running package-mode analyses, saving package analyses for later comparison, and new rate-limit tiers to accommodate heavier usage.

Combo detection is now integrated via Commander Spellbook. cedh.io will flag combos present in a list and surface near-misses so builders can spot lines they missed or stabilize fast kill routes. A Threat Analysis module allows users to input up to four commanders to see common combos and aggregated tournament statistics for those matchups, helping pilots prepare for likely win conditions and interactive needs. Visual tools round out the refactor: deck composition charts and visual comparisons to average tournament lists show type composition and mana curve overlays, giving concrete visual feedback on how a list diverges from competitive norms.

The announcement also included user-centered policies. The site implemented a rate-limit reset so users can try the new features without immediately hitting caps, and supporters who find the new direction unsuitable are eligible for refunds. The change is positioned as complementary to metagame trackers rather than competitive with them, with an explicit invitation for community feedback and discussion on Discord.

For players who relied on cedh.io for browsing tournaments or player pages, the immediate impact is a shift in where to find metagame listings. For builders and tuners, the update brings focused tools that speed iteration, reveal combo lines, and quantify how a list stacks up against tournament-tested archetypes. Practical next steps are straightforward: paste a Moxfield link to test sync, run package analyses with include/exclude settings, and use Threat Analysis to rehearse common opponent win conditions.

This move narrows cedh.io's scope but deepens its toolkit for tuning cEDH decks. Expect ongoing tweaks as the community tests the new features and provides feedback; for now, cedh.io aims to be the go-to workbench when you want a faster path from rough list to tournament-ready deck.
