Good Knight Welcome back to the doctor's office! Here at General Medicine, we practice EDH general medicine - I take your submitted deck, give it a spin through the EDHREC tech, add an analysis of my own, and produce a deck that is hopefully a souped-up version of the one submitted. This week, we're taking […]

Hi everyone! Welcome back to The Knowledge Pool. It's been a little while, but last time I teased a deck based around [card]Helm of the Host[/card], and after much tinkering I've come up with a list that I believe will abuse it to the fullest extent. We're going to explore the blood-drenched world of [card]Saskia […]

Using Your Core Welcome to the EDHREC Core Set 2019 review for the white slice of the color pie. This is the first Core Set since Origins back in 2015, which was definitely a standout among other Core expansions. A lot has happened in the interim, including a pretty stellar run of sets filled with […]

EDH Player Psychographics - Barktooths and the Allure of the Unusual

Barktooth Warbeard [card]Barktooth Warbeard[/card] is a card you've probably never heard of, which is exactly why he's the namesake of our next EDH player psychographic. A Barktooth is an EDH player who loves playing unusual, underused, and under-appreciated cards. For Barktooths, the fun of the format isn't necessarily derived from playing the optimal card all the […]

You slam [card]Darigaaz Reincarnated[/card] onto the table and smirk. You smell fear in the air as you shuffle 59 cards and the other three players shy their eyes away. Since you have prepared lots of powerful creatures to plow over the competition, you assume the game will be quick. You may have even prepared against […]

Green With Envy Hello everyone and welcome to EDHREC's review for the newest Magic set, Core Set 2019! You might think that barely any time at all has passed since our Battlebond set review (and you would be correct), but the exciting part about it is that we have more new Magic cards to talk about!

A Very Blue Review That's right my friends and foes, you read this correctly. Someway, somehow, the powers that be not only give me a black set review a while back, but they thought it was so compelling that they let me do a Commander set review for blue cards too! Me, the guy who […]

Where Are My Dragons? Welcome to the EDHREC Red Set Review for Core Set 2019. We have some exciting new fire-breathers to look over, so let's get right to it. Sarkhan Three mana for a planeswalker is a good start. It will take a while to get to the ultimate, but neither +1 ability is bad, […]

Mackenzie Welcome back to another edition of EDH Player Psychographics! Today, let's talk about Mackenzies. To be a Mackenzie, one need not wear a bone helmet, grow a beard, or hang out near Stonehenge (though I suppose you can if you'd like). In terms of EDH Player Psychographics, Mackenzies are those who enjoy playing expensive cards. […]

Dictate of Don — Improving our Chances for Zndrsplt/Okaun One-Hit Kills

When I first saw Okaun I knew there would be some weirdness in being able to move in for the kill with him, in particular with splashy one-hit kills. This isn't normal for Magic as chance doesn't usually determine life or death, so knowing the odds can really help influence our deck building decisions and […]
