META: A Stickied Post For New Players

I am sure everyone and their mom has seen no less than 40 “Can my B4 Voja deck be cEDH?” and it’s just another moderately strong B3 deck.

Now I get it, we all start somewhere. That’s fine. It is a food idea to explain to these people why their ideas don’t work and give them a solid idea of where to start in a respectful and friendly manner. Of course, I won’t lie and say seeing ~5 of these per day isn’t highly aggravating, and many people probably feel the same.

I petition that the mods (or someone approved by the mods) create and sticky a post in full, capitalized, damn near bolded letters, making it loud as clear that “NO, YOUR B4 DECK IS NOT cEDH - HERE’S WHY” with a comprehensive explanation as to what a cEDH deck generally is, recognition of the gray areas of off-meta decks that could be played but aren’t great tournament choices, and why most B3 and B4 decks very obviously don’t fit that bill. That way, nobody will be at a loss for something to tell them that stomping their barely B2, legally B3 pod does not qualify them for cEDH tournaments.

Please leave thoughts because man, would it do us a lot of good to nip this problem in the bud already.
