We’re going to brew a deck that reflects River Song’s unique abilities, and this is much needed since the rest of this proecon doesn’t really synergize with it (which may be in keeping with the lore of the character but isn’t exactly fun!).
Read moreAs long as there’s been Magic, there have been sacrifice decks. They use cheap creatures or tokens as fodder for powerful effects that demand a life in exchange for power. It’s a deal that’s deeply steeped in black’s share of the color pie...
Read moreBaba Lysaga, Night Witch is so much fun to play in Commander. This deck can win if you can survive long enough to get to the 1v1 phase. Trying to make that happen while running a deck full of otherwise bad cards that make Baba tick is the...
Read moreBack when EDH was new and we weren’t spoiled for options, we ran Karador, Ghost Chieftain, and we liked it. How has Karador changed over the past 12 years?

Read moreIt seems to be a pattern that after a disappointing end to a long built-up storyline, Magic brings us to Eldraine for a nice palate cleanser. Wilds of Eldraine brings along returning mechanics from our first visit, like adventure spells and Food...
Read moreFor a time, good faerie decks were the backbone of constructed Magic. I have good news for those who remember those days with fondness instead of dread. Fae Dominion and Wilds of Eldraine are going to make faeries decent in Commander for the...
