NEWS — New EDHREC Feature! Themes!
A message from Don, the founder of EDHREC: In this article, Chris is going to go through our new features on EDHREC that revolve around "themes"! I'm really excited about it because there are so many fun hidden archetypes and this should make it easier to find them. Tribes were our first theme and those were […]
EDH Political Science — Land Ho!
Cartography has been political since the beginning of history. The act of making a map has an intrinsic relation to the boundaries governments set. Creating a world within a page for others to see manufactures a perception on the world it depicts. This could be a fabrication. John Smith created new towns and territories to […]
Ultra Budget Brews — Dragons
Hello and welcome back to Ultra Budget Brews! Normally, we build decks where every card, commander included, costs under $1, but this week we are doing something a bit different than normal. If you are invested enough into EDH to be reading this, then you probably are more than aware that WotC just released 4 […]
Commander Showdown — Mathas vs Queen Marchesa
Mardu Politics Commander 2017 has graced us with a host of new tribal commanders, from Cats to Dragons to Cat Dragons. However, for this week's Commander Showdown, I'd like to take a step back from all the tribal synergies and focus instead upon a strange and intriguing new inclusion to the 'Vampiric Bloodlust' precon. His name is , and he's out […]
Commander Focus — Licia, Sanguine Tribune
Now that I've covered each of the partner commanders in their own articles (until Commander 2019 Partnerpalooza, that is), we need some new legendary creatures to talk about. Luckily, Commander 2017 is here with some new hotness. In the spirit of my articles, we don't have that much data about these particular commanders yet, which makes the article […]
60 to 100 — Cat Dragon Stompy
Howdy folks! Thanks for coming back to 60 to 100, the articles where we transform a 60-card archetype into a deck fit for 100-card singleton commandering. This week we take another request from a reader to cover the casual favorite Dragon Stompy deck. So, since we did just get our new tribal decks in Commander […]
The Tribes of Ixalan — A Primer
Welcome to the EDHREC primer about the tribes of Ixalan. Ixalan is a magical land where dinosaurs roam the earth and pirates rule the high seas. There's buried treasure, some new Planeswalker friends and the Standard format gives us the opportunity to have dinosaurs crew flying vehicles, making my childhood wishes all come true. Breaking […]
Weird Harvest — Kessy Fingers
New product release is always an exciting time in Magic. We get to rummage through all the new toys and tinker with them until we find what we like most. I was lucky enough to have a reader comment on my last article with a request that gave me the opportunity to tinker with purpose. […]
News — Change to the legendary rule
The Bearer of News This week we were hammered with a barrage of Magic-related news ranging from changes to the banned/restricted list for Vintage to coverage of the Ixalan leaks from earlier in the summer. Snuggled cozily in between all of that, however, is probably the most EDH relevant bit of information: "Starting with this […]
Pure//Simple — Where Are They Now?
I started playing Commander in 2010, about a year before it was even called Commander—when Wizards officially acknowledged the format with the release of Magic: the Gathering-Commander. At the time, it was hard to navigate Magic forum posts to figure out what to play. There wasn't the wide breadth of information that sites like EDHREC […]
