Walkthroughs take you through a job step by step, and the rest tell you what you’ll want ready before you start.
Six steps, in order, from nothing to your first online cEDH event, each with a link to the guide that covers it in full.
This page covers what you need to ensure you have everything you need from a deck and accoutrement perspective. We'll have links to useful tools and playtest card sites.
cEDH decks cost more than most people will spend, and the community's answer is the playtest card. Online play is stricter about them than paper, so it's worth knowing what a table will accept before you order any.

After getting your deck ready, now's the time you can look at equipment. Not all of it needs to be something that's new! We'll discuss using a mobile phone as a webcam, and other ways to engage with the hobby without having to spend anything.
