EDH Political Science — “You Say You Want a Revolution”

Power to the Polis I watched the best player at the table crumble. Yes, I did want to stomp his face in for taking me out first in the prior week’s commander pod, but it was much more than that. He was the clear enemy to me and the people to my left and right. […]

Hello friends and fellow lifegainers, welcome back to EDHREC and our continuing biweekly column, Non-Basically Speaking, the series that strives to identify non-basic lands that should be considered valuable staples or hidden gems based on their visibility on EDHREC. In previous articles we focused on present day Commander favorites Atraxa and Breya, so I felt […]

The Choice is Clear-ic Welcome back one and all to Low Market, and my apologies for my absolutely awful section-title pun. When coming up with budget decklists for this segment, sometimes I need to [card]ponder[/card] a little bit before I come across a theme. But as a close friend pointed out: "Bryce, you love tribal […]

Welcome to the home of Alternative Outcomes, a series of self-expression through the development and brewing of alternative builds, often of popular commanders. The name’s “Dev”, and I will be your guide on these journeys. I have been a proud Magic: the Gathering player for over fifteen years and have competitive experience across multiple formats. […]

Partner Focus — Silas Renn, Seeker Adept

[card]Silas Renn, Seeker Adept[/card] combines the sneering punchable face of Martin Shkreli with the haughty annoyance of C3P0's body. He's a fun guy at parties. But enough about the card art. He's a 2/2 with Deathtouch. If he does combat damage to a player, you can cast a dead artifact from your graveyard. You still have […]

This article is part 5 of a 10 part series covering the Singleton Guild Wheel Project, a 10 deck project in which there is only a single copy of any non-basic land among the 10 decks. Each deck uses the color combination of a different Ravnican guild. The methodology is introduced here and expanded upon each […]

We did it, we found an actual theme for my article series. People seemed to dig the idea of the “Better Version.dec” from last time (Teneb instead of Karador) so, the EDH Benchwarmers series is born. A quick word about what it means to be a “Benchwarmer” before we begin. Benchwarmer is without a doubt […]

Is anybody sick of artifacts yet? Aether Revolt is still fresh but this week's Trinkets & Tools is going to be shifting gears and talking about enchantments (a cycle of five to be exact), all five Siege enchantments from Fate Reforged! This article is going to be moving a little bit quicker than usual so I can cover […]

With each new set we must begin again the process of evaluating the new cards. This can either take some time if the card is very complex or be quick if it's extremely straightforward; [card]Paradox Engine[/card] was the later. This card was easy to evaluate, or so I thought. It’s insanely powerful. It does bonkers […]

Greetings everyone, I'm back to talk more about Pyramid Theory, and how it can be applied when building a commander deck. Last time I covered the basics of deck construction using Pyramid Theory. This time around I highlight the process of building a commander deck using a different aspect of Pyramid Theory. I will use […]
