Commander Focus: The Ghost of Demons Past

A big part of the fun of Commander is digging out weird, cool, edge case cards and building around them, and this deck has multiples that would see play virtually nowhere else. We also have some big, splashy, game...

Commander Focus: Look! In the Sky!

Commander is an incredibly complex format that can be won and lost through precise application of powerful spells, carefully sequencing them for maximum devastating effect to bury your opponents. Easy to learn but hard to master, truly it is...

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...

Commander Focus: Kenrith, death by taxes

Credit: Kieran Yanner, Wizards of the Coast Kenrith, the Returned King is just sort of generically good. He's a 5/5 for 5, which isn't an amazing stat block, but his 5 activated abilities are flexible, powerful and useful. Additionally his cmc...

28 Turns Later – Zombie Tribal Commander

Halloween is past us but that doesn't mean we can't still talk about the walking dead. So it’s time to raise some moldering old corpses from the grave with a Zombie tribal deck! Are you picturing a sweet mono...

Commander Focus: Tazri, Beacon of Unity (but not of winning)

A long time ago, in a meta far far away, General Tazri was a top tier cEDH commander, and a shell for food chain. Food chain relies on a relatively rare ability: Cards that can be cast from exile. The...
