The Bite Sized MTG Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

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!

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:
