Commander

Commander Focus: Anowon, Feeling a Bit Rouge-ish.

Yes, thank you I know how to spell. But that's the point of a rogue deck. I tricked you into correcting my spelling. You fell into my cunning plan of, well proving something or other. Rogues are a nifty subtype...

Commander Unstable Mutation: Coven Counters

Coven Counter is based on generating +1/+1 counters, off the commander and other sources, buffing the small creatures in order to deal combat damage.  This is inherently a bad game plan, especially without backup from things like proliferate, or...

Commander Unstable Mutation: Undead Unleashed

We've previously covered the mechanics and cards of Midnight Hunt, the newest Innistrad-set expansion for Magic: the Gathering. This week we're covering the Commander preconstructed decks for the set - what they've got, how to play them, and how...

Commander Focus: The Death of Golos

Yesterday's ban announcement  is one of the largest to happen in a while: As of 09/13/2021, Golos, Tireless Pilgrim is banned from Commander. As it turns out, we'd just finished building another Golos deck, and while it's no longer...

Commander Focus: Markov, Blood on the Cheap

Credit: Volkan Baga, Wizards of the Coast Okay, you want a deck you can build for a whopping $160 dollars, here you go. Eminence, in my October opinion, is a really underused mechanic. I understand the logic: Magic is largely supposed...

Commander Focus: Syr Gwyn, the Night Rider

Credit: Lie Setiawan, Wizards of the Coast I sort of identify as an Azorius player; or a blue player, generally. Long ago, when Extended had a deck that was essentially 32 counterspells, thieving magpie, morphling, and faerie conclaves, that's what...

Commander Focus: Kolaghan, A dash of Fire

Credit: Jaime Jones, Wizards of the Coast Dragons are cool, big flying, nigh-invulnerable creatures that breath fire, and appear to have some sort of fetish for non-fiat assets. Maybe they're all a bunch of libertarians, or maybe it has some...
