The format was Two-Headed Giant Time Spiral Booster draft and the two had come up with a very specific plan: force slivers. Apparently, most of the […]

All That Glitters... ...is sometimes treasure! Welcome back to Low Market, EDHREC's budget Commander deckbuilding series. Keeping in with the recently-released Rivals of Ixalan, this is the space where I would normally select my favorite legend from the set and whip up a budget deck list. This time around, though, I'm taking a slightly different […]

Guess who's back! Patrick Sippola is back and better than ever, and I'm here to crack some mad, homebrewed combos on you with a smile on my face and the stack as confusing as possible. At least that is going to happen this time around, where it isn't a particular card I'm going to build […]

Composite Golem art by Mark Tedin Double or Nothing Many moons ago, we here at Low Market made a brief double-foray into Pauper Commander, a Commander subformat where any Uncommon creature can be at the helm of deck composed entirely of Commons. My love for this obscure little format has not diminished, so we're bringing […]

Hello fellow janksters and welcome back to Weird Harvest. In this installment we're going to continue along last installment's idea of running a hybrid Voltron commander. Rather than running Stax like we did with , we will focus on a traditional control strategy. There were many options available for running a control-centric commander, but my […]

Welcome to December's first installment of Uncompetitive Spirit! Here we celebrate not only the holidays, but also the quirky ways to play EDH with our friends - format variants! In this article series, I discuss the basic rules and strategies for each of these variants, and I also throw out a deck generated by this […]
