Red & White Equipment Red and white are frequently admonished for their weaknesses in the Commander format. Both colors have limited access to mana ramp and card draw effects, which makes for a difficult time in a multiplayer environment. In 1-on-1 games like Standard and Modern, Red and White make up for this lack of […]

Hey everyone! Kya here! Welcome back to another edition of Combining Hobbies. My Tyranid army has grown considerably already since my last article. Warhammer is definitely fun but nothing really fills that need for the occasional EDH game. Something just feels comforting sitting at a table with friends and slinging spells. Speaking of Tyranids though, […]

The Start of a New Age Hello everyone and welcome back to your favorite spotlight series for the under-appreciated! If you have never read this column, welcome! There are many reasons why a commander could be under-appreciated: it could be because of obsolescence, or it's too expensive, or maybe it could be because of narrowness. […]

Welcome back friends to another edition of General Medicine! Today we’re taking a look at a two-color deck very much built around the commander championing it, Peter’s brew of ! But before we get into the list and a preliminary diagnosis, I want to expand upon the color pairing in general. Golgari in EDH I […]

Have you ever taken one of those Facebook personality tests? It's okay to admit it. One can only resist the "Which Game of Thrones Character Are You?" quiz for so long. (I got Ned Stark, so I hope I'm not beheaded before I finish this article.) Since I'm a longtime EDH player, I wondered how […]

I first began playing Commander when Return to Ravnica released. Before that I'd toyed with a few different strategies, but I never pulled the […]

Today on Dig Through Time we finish up Kamigawa block with a review of—Saviors of Kamigawa. This set gave us mechanics like sweep,epic, and channel which varied from good to bad. Sweep was bad; epic, an early attempt at a legendary sorcery, was only good on two cards; channel was okay, and probably paved the way for bloodrush. One technological development in […]

That's right folks, you read the headline right. This may be the place where you normally find a sweet brew inspired by some 60-card stack, but that's not the case this time. Standard is in flux, Modern has been stable (which is a very good thing!), and Reserve List buyouts have me fussy about Legacy […]

The Hand Rises Welcome to Andrew Jackson Highlander! AJH is a series where I build and share $20 deck techs. This week, I get to share a decklist that will probably actually go down in price soon because it focuses heavily on cycling (thanks rotation!) with at the helm. We are not just cycling for […]

Picture in your mind an elf that taps for mana. These are colloquially known as "mana dorks". Given that descriptor, you can probably extrapolate some ideas about this type of character. Do those ideas include decent power and toughness, haste, and an urge to charge into combat? is in fact an elf, and in her […]
