A few weeks ago I went to Grand Prix Oklahoma City. If you've never been to a Grand Prix event I can't recommend it enough; the experience of just going and hanging out with a few thousand other nerds is pretty great. If you find such an event within driving distance just throw a few […]

Hello fellow janksters and welcome back to Weird Harvest. In this installment we're going to continue along last installment's idea of running a hybrid Voltron commander. Rather than running Stax like we did with [card]Hope of Ghirapur[/card], we will focus on a traditional control strategy. There were many options available for running a control-centric commander, […]

Grusilda, Monster Masher art by Mathias Kollros Here on Low Market, we've only just started playing with Unstable, and we're already having an un-credible time with it; so much so that we're coming back around with another silver-bordered commander. This time, though, we're building for flexibility, with a deck capable of using a silver-bordered commander ([card]Grusilda, […]

Words have weight. A heft, like a cleaver, or a rolling pin. Words like imperator or carnifex, tribune, or legion evoke certain images, certain moods; they carry deep over and undertones and implications. Take the previous examples—they evoke a Roman flavor so before we even see a card, we've drawn expectations. Look at Licia: Words […]

Well, hello everyone! This week we're going on a wild and crazy adventure, where no man has gone before. Or woman. Or...anyone really.

Triple Showdown Back in June, I wrote Commander Showdown — Ayli vs Karlov, tackling the two lifegain-based Orzhov commanders, [card]Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim[/card] and [card]Karlov of the Ghost Council[/card]. Then Ixalan happened, throwing a new black-white lifegain commander into the mix. By now you're probably already familiar with her: it's [card]Vona, Butcher of Magan[/card]. Yes, once again, […]
