A Saga of Sagas Hello everybody and welcome to the New Year! For those new to the series, this is The Toolbox! Here we take a look at underplayed cards and evaluate where they should be played. Yes, I do say 'we' because I want to hear what you guys think as well; I am not always […]

Can I Get a Witness? Currently, there are 55,404 decks decks in the EDHREC database running [card]Eternal Witness[/card], and not a single one of them should have it as part of the 99. Welcome back to In the Margins, a monthly Commander-centric column where I start by saying things that are patently untrue. We're gonna refer […]

Optimizing a Pile Last time on Making the Cut, we looked at an initial dump of cards for a [card]Lazav, the Multifarious[/card] +1/+1 counter deck featuring as many cheap creatures as possible, and then did an initial cut based on the archetypes we knew the deck was going to need in the final version. To start […]

Epic Preparations Good morning, EDHREC! I’m Bernardo Melibeu and this is Epic Experiment, a series where we throw all common sense aside and experiment with some unusual cards, effectively changing how we normally build our deck. Is it going to work? Who knows?! We’re making science here. When you’re an Izzet mage, blowing things up in […]

Welcome to my quest of building an EDH deck for every legendary creature. Today we are looking at decks #370 through #379. Deck # 370 - [card]Reveka, Wizard Savant[/card] This Homelands gem has no use for the combat step. Deck #371 - [card]Rashka the Slayer[/card] That's right, two Homelands legends in a row, and they […]

Happy New Year!!! Fun fact: did you know the art in my banner for this article is from an actual card? It's an old version of [card]Clone[/card], and it's less then a quarter! In the spirit of cosplay, and becoming a copy of something else, I thought this was worth sharing. (If anything, it's probably […]

Another Lap Around the Sun As the year draws to a close, people have a habit of looking back and evaluating the last year. It might seem a bit arbitrary, but it's a way we're collectively wired. Another way we're collectively wired? We love lists: debating, comparing, and coming up with them is something we […]

Dusk of the Dead Hello again, my beloved readers! My name is Seth Cross and I am back for the final installment of this year’s edition of Replacement Commanders! This series is dedicated to looking at the Commander precon decks each year, pulling aside the legendary creatures that were not chosen to be the face […]

Growing Under When it comes to building around mechanics, I like the simple ones. Forget that Prowl or Explore nonsense—I want something straightforward. Since we're in Ravnica right now, I think I've got just the thing. This week on Mechanically Minded, let's talk about Undergrowth. A nice, simple, direct mechanic. When you cast a spell or your […]

The Artificer Who Stole My Heart Hi everyone! Welcome back to The Knowledge Pool! This week I'll be writing about a commander that I've been itching to talk about since her release: [card]Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain[/card]. In fact, I would go so far as to say that Jhoira is my favorite new commander of 2018, making […]
