Hello Planeswalkers, Kya here once again to spread more love across the EDH community! Being a female player, Magic: the Gathering can be an... interesting experience to say the least. I know there has been plenty of drama over the last week, but this article doesn't deal with that topic. I'm sure many are tired […]

Okay FINE. Yeah. We'll look at Unstable commanders. Sometimes a new legendary creature comes out that values other cards in a new way, making cards that were previously useless suddenly amazing in the right EDH deck. The last time I wrote about this sort of thing was with [card]Mairsil, the Pretender[/card] and a fresh look […]

Unbelievable Yes, you read the title correctly. No, this is not a joke. In fact, here at EDHREC we were actually thinking about doing an "Un-cards are legal!" prank for the next April Fools. Turns out the Rules Committee beat us to it and legalized silver-bordered cards in Commander until January 15th. I'll repeat that […]

Here we are again, ladies and goblins! Starting off another installment of Replacement Commanders. This series looks at all eight of the “alternate” Commanders from the Commander 2017 product, instead of the face eminence legendary creatures from each deck. From there, we break down the replacement commander based on the stats, colors and abilities of […]

  Typical Selesnya. Making everyone else play by harsh rules that they themselves gleefully ignore. It's an unusual and non-standard definition of the word "duel" when one side of a dispute presents one champion and the other side gets to respond with their entire army. The Precon Effect At this "early" date, if we look […]

Currently, there are 7,782 decks in the EDHREC database running [card]Doom Blade[/card] and not a single one of them should have it as part of the 99. Welcome back to In the Margins, a periodic column where I sometimes lie about cards and whether you should consider running them. This time though, I'm telling the truth. […]

Budget Showdown Watch out world, because EDHREC has a brand-new feature in town. You may remember when we unveiled our new Theme Selection tool back in September. For those who don't remember, it's the thing to the right of the pie chart that looks like this: That's the Theme Selection tool for [card]The Scarab God[/card]. Using […]

Welcome back to another Dig Through Time, and I apologize for the delay between our last column and today's. Just an FYI, this series is going to become slightly more intermittent, dropping down to once a month or so for the time being, as my family welcomed my second baby on November 21st (fingers crossed […]

Thanksgiving has creeped up upon us, stealthily, like a...stealthy thing. And so of course, instead of devolving into what the turkey meant in Mesoamerica (it was called the Chalchiuhtotolin, or jeweled bird, a favored animal of the Mexica trickster god Tezcatlipoca—oh damn there I go ahead willy-nilly) we will dive into a bit of game […]

Clean and Simple Hello, one and all! Welcome to the Underdog's Corner. If you are a first-time reader, this is a series that covers a legendary creature that I think is either underplayed or underrated. Usually the commanders you see are janky commanders that require a bit a work, and other times I cover commanders […]
