Commander Showdown is a series that compares and contrast two similar commanders, analyzes differences in strategy and deck construction, and evaluates how those differences are represented by the data here on EDHREC. Aether Revolt introduced a handful of new Legendary creatures to EDH, such as [card]Yahenni, Undying Partisan[/card] and [card]Rishkar, Peema Renegade[/card]. Unfortunately (and probably […]

This installment of Dig Through Time digs all the way back to 2006 and one of my favorite blocks of all time: Ravnica! As you may know, Ravnica is the block that introduced us to guilds, and the guild names that we all still use today. The block includes Ravnica: City of Guilds, Dissension, and […]

As I was growing up in the 90's basketball was a big deal. To this day, I still associate Christmas with watching the Bulls, and think of Chicago romantically even though I've never been there.

Today, we're going to walk on the wild side and approach deck building from a different direction: choose a theme and find the commander that suits it best. Now, if […]

Shout out to those 1/1 Saprolings! While [card]Tana, the Bloodsower[/card] doesn't have the same immediate impact on the board state as the ubiquitous [card]Avenger of Zendikar[/card], now all you belligerent botanists and red-loving hydroponics engineers can role play a commander that suits your interests.
