Optimizing a Pile Last time on Making the Cut, we looked at an initial dump of cards for a +1/+1 counter deck featuring as many cheap creatures as possible, and then did an initial cut based on the archetypes we knew the deck was going to need in the final version. To start this week, let's […]

Making the Initial Cut Hello, and welcome to Making the Cut, where we try to get you to your best 99. So, you've got an idea for a new Commander deck. The only question is... what now? Well, if you're anything like me, what's now is spending a couple hours on EDHREC and various sites looking up […]

Hi everyone! Welcome back to The Knowledge Pool! Most commanders have an obvious theme and encourage us to play specific cards. This is apparent when we consider the decks I've presented so far. Mayael wants us to play with big creatures, Trostani wants us to make tokens, and Kydele wants to untap. I personally love […]

Dominaria has quickly risen to become one of the most anticipated sets for many people, including myself. I can't remember a set I was more excited for than this, as it has so much to offer for everyone. For Commander players, there are 42 new legendary creatures to build around! There's the newly introduced Brawl […]

Hello Everyone! It's Kya's once again to help you bring some Magic to your life! Welcome to my favorite month, Fear February!

I’m an avid Commander player with over a decade of experience in the format. From my first red-white cool-art deck, to my turn-two-win [Card]Teferi, Temporal Archmage[/Card] deck, I’ve […]

Poisoned Words It's the week following Amonkhet spoiler season, and you know what that means! Or, maybe you don't, since this column has only existed for one prior set release. In which case: it's time to highlight one of the new legends! Without further ado, let me introduce our new snake-y friend, : Way back […]

Hey everyone welcome back to EDH Benchwarmers with your host Andy Hull. Last time we really leaned into some pretty deep Van Halen references talking about a deck that was all about , and I guess somewhat about 80's hair metal and partying way too hard on the Sunset Strip. This week we take a […]

Fight the Power Now that Aether Revolt is in the wild, we here at Low Market are doing our level best to stick it to the Man. We've located a druid sympathetic to the renegade cause, and he could really use a budget deck, so let's give him a hand! Exchange Rates In its base […]
