I had (and honestly still have) the idea to build a chaos deck that mixed storm and cascade, just to make the most confusing and bizarre board state possible happen. This isn’t that deck. I chose to use Elsha of the Infinite for this more focused...
Read moreThere are over 1,600 legal commanders to choose from in Magic. When one of those commanders is in the top 100 most popular on EDHREC, you know it must be pretty powerful. Magda, Brazen Outlaw is currently ranked #63, and it’s easy to see why it’s...
