Battle of the Titans or Cheap cash grab: Eldrazi vs Slivers

This week we got the reveal of the face commanders from Commander Masters set coming later this year. I was excited about these because one of the announced decks was my dear Eldrazis. My brother on the other hand was thrilled to see the Slivers return as well. We were gearing up for a battleContinue

A New Age of Magic the Gathering Storytelling?

We’re on the other side of March of the Machine and we are full swing into AFTERMATH! Looking over what’s been spoiled so far, what does it tell us about the future of MTG storytelling? First, let’s look at what we know! PLANESWALKERS ARE LOSING THEIR SPARK! As shown above, much like the ten planeswalkersContinue

How much control DOES Norn have on the compleated Planeswalkers? PART ONE

One of the hallmark moments of the All Will Be One storyline was the compleation of several bedrock Gatewatch members. Jace and Nissa joined Nahiri, Lukka, Vraska, Ajani and Tamiyo as supposed minions of Elesh Norn. A great deal of the last stories of the aforementioned set and the first episode of the March ofContinue

Baldur’s Gate White Soldier EDH deck: Just keeps on comin’!

Our man Panda has a way of finding the best combos in about any color. And, sometimes or most times, he finds them in WUBRG! But very rarely does he settle into mono-White. It’s just not his favorite color. But once he sees synchronicity, he’s on it! (See decklist at the bottom of the article!)Continue

Making Sacrifice Faster in EDH

Not been much for sacrifice. For the most part it gets expensive and can be slow and dangerous to pay. Panda showed us his THRAXIMUNDAR deck that works pretty awesomely. But it wasn’t until Streets of New Capenna that I started becoming interested in using sacrifice again in my Commander deck. This is mainly dueContinue

Casual Kaalia: EDH deck tech

So, story time. When I was first getting back into MTG, my son was around 10 years old. He wanted to play commander with me and that sounded like fun. Just something for us to enjoy together. So I asked him what I asked him what type of deck he would like. His answer was…Continue

Grab the Dice Bag! It’s Time to Play Magic!

There was a time that the closest Magic the Gathering got to dice were those non-D20 rolldowns or in some UN-Set. But that has all changed! Dice rolling has come to standard with the first D&D crossover to the actual Magic card game; Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. We’ve already seen cards in all colorsContinue

Desert Doom Draw: Iymrith Casual EDH

No doubt, there are a lot of great cards from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms that will see play in Commander. Volo, Tiamet and Xanathar are the top runners right now and, believe me, there are already a mess of deck lists and articles coming on the top tier decks. But one of the deckContinue

Wizards brings Class to MTG!

Last week, during the spoilers and previews, we were introduced to a new type of card coming in Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set for MTG. While theorizing about the different things we may see coming from Magic the Gatherings’ first venture into a Dungeons and Dragons world, I had many thoughts. The dungeon cardsContinue

Tourach, Dread Cantor: Casual EDH Discard Deck

There are a lot of good choices for commander in Modern Horizons 2; some very powerful and many terribly expensive mana-wise. So, thinking of a cheaper mana value choice, I came upon Tourach, Dread Cantor. Despite the fact that it has the optional kicker mechanic, it is, at its base, a two drop which makesContinue
