Commander 2018 Set Review - Gold (Pt 1)
Commander 2018 It is finally that time! Commander 2018 is here! I've described this release as a Commander player's Super Bowl, and this year's new legends don't disappoint. In the first five years of its lifetime, the Commander products were done in full color cycles. After that, with Commander 2017, the product was reduced to […]
Commander Focus — Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire
Vaevictis, New and Improved Behold, ! A new upgrade to an old classic. The previous version of this Elder Dragon had firebreathing, as well as treebreathing and swampbreathing. While this ability might be fascinating to reptilian nutritionists, it's a bit mediocre compared to what modern commanders can do. The upgraded version gets to cause widespread […]

A GOLDEN Set Review! Hello everyone! Your ridiculous, friendly, neighborhood Jank-Crafter is here to once again provide a set review!

The Knowledge Pool — Kresh the Bloodbraided
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 […]
Historically Speaking — 'Nacatl' means what?!
Words have weight. A heft, like a cleaver, or a rolling pin. Words like imperator or carnifex, tribune, or legion evoke certain images, certain moods; they carry deep over and undertones and implications. Take the previous examples—they evoke a Roman flavor so before we even see a card, we've drawn expectations. Look at Licia: Words […]
Commander Focus — Wasitora, Nekoru Queen
Some people like cats. Some people like dogs. Some people like both cats and dogs, so there's a bit of overlap on that Venn diagram. But what, you presumably ask, about the people who like both cats and dragons? is a hard-working mother who just wants to feed her litter of cute baby kitten monsters. […]
Commander Showdown — Hapatra vs The Scorpion God
V for Venom-Detta Voilà! In view, the vast valleys of Ixalan! However, now that we've arrived at this vivid, vibrant vista, we must veer our vessel back to Amonkhet! We volunteered to visit two voracious veterans before the Hour of Devastation vanishes, and they would be very vexed and vindictive if we vacated our vow. If you, valuable viewer, would rather […]
