Patrick here, the resident Johnny at EDHREC. Sometimes I see a card that causes me to think, “What can I do with this?” This month is a prime example of this situation. I spent a good portion of my youth without a consistent playgroup, which led to me reading cards over and over again, trying […]

Welcome back to Pure//Simple, the article series that tries to take the mystery out of card choices. Knowing what cards are good in Commander is one of the first steps towards becoming well-versed in the format, but knowing why certain cards are good is even more important.

In case you hadn't noticed, I love using the graveyard as a resource, and this block introduced lots of really fun graveyard interactions. Flashback […]

Killer of Metagames For many intenet denizens, April Fools' Day is an opportunity for pranks ranging from the hilarious to the inane. Here at Low Market Headquarters, it's an opportunity for some...unconventional deck building. Maybe with, gee, I don't know... a multicolored legendary artifact – equipment? Yes, Unscythe!

He is the Peter Pan of Magic, because he can convince the rest of the children that they can fly. They can't really fly, but they think they can. It's because of the hallucinogenic mushrooms he found on the island and then fed to the rest of the kids, just like in Peter Pan. You don't […]

It is very hard to build a deck when you limit yourself from using any of the suggested cards on EDHREC. I'm just saying, making a deck that doesn't use or is a weird and wild experience. Why am I doing this? So that we can have this talk. This talk where I show you […]
