Experimenting Epically 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 decks. Is it going to work? Who knows?! We're making science here. When you're an Izzet mage, blowing things up in […]

Radiant as the Sun Hello again, friends and readers! My name is Seth Cross, but you can call me DM, and I am very excited to bring you another installment of Uncommonders! This series was inspired by the 20 legendary creatures from Dominaria printed at the uncommon rarity, as opposed to the usual rare or mythic rare. […]

Making a Prophecy I love prophecy. I'm not sure why. I love the prophets and prophetesses of Greek myth. I love when authors foreshadow future events in books. I even love pro football preseason picks (though how accurate are they, really?). All in all, predicting the future is pretty cool. With this series, I'm going […]

The Doctor is In Welcome back to the doctor's office! Before we get to this week's patient, I want to extend another thank you to everyone who has sent in decks since my previous article, I often get very good submissions, but the ones sent in now have been delivered by prospective patients who have […]

Endless Ranks of the Undead If there's one thing I've learned playing Magic: the Gathering, it's that the Zombies just never stop coming. From Alpha to Zendikar, the dead are always with us, hungry for more. I've written not one but two Commander Showdowns about Zombie tribal decks in Commander... but only for the blue-black legends. While I've discussed [card]The Scarab God[/card], […]

Commander Potluck Hi everyone! Welcome back to The Knowledge Pool! This week we're doing something a little different and delving into a territory this series doesn't normally cover: budget deck building. Like many of you, I've been brewing a ton of the new commanders from Commander 2018, and as a result, I've been a bit tight […]

Engineering A Swarm Welcome to Andrew Jackson Highlander, a biweekly series of articles where I build and share $20 Commander decks. With Commander 2018's recent release, I am going to share a build for one of the set's alternate commanders in this article. This week, we start off with a traditional Izzet strategy: Go-wide tokens…. Wait, wait, […]

Present Day Artifice Hello, everyone! Welcome to a new edition of the Underdog's Corner! Today you are in for a treat, as I get to cover one of my personal favorite legends from Commander 2018, as well as a commander that I am actually building in paper! I've carefully watched the numbers on EDHREC and […]

A New Shape Greetings fellow EDHREC addicts. Welcome to a new series of articles: Shape Anew. I am Willem-Jan Rensink, and as you might have guessed from that name, I’m from Europe (the Netherlands, in fact). I started playing Magic around Rise of Eldrazi and was immediately hooked. I love all the crazy possible interactions, […]

Annoyin' Noyan Hello, and welcome back to another edition of Ultra Budget Brews, the monthly column that firmly believes that August is the worst month of the year. Seriously, think about it. There are no holidays, you're right in the middle of summer (objectively the worst season of the year), school starts back up, my […]
