60 to 100 — (Living) Death is not the (Living) End!
Welcome party people! I hope your release weekends went great for Hour of Devastation with some awesome god-pulls.... See what I did there? "God-pulls?" Because there are gods in the set... You know what, I thought it was clever. Don't judge me. Anyways, this week I get to go back to a deck archetype that everyone […]
Low Market — The Scorpion God Elemental Tribal
The Scorpion God art by Lius Lasahido The People Have Spoken! Welcome to Low Market, brought to you this week by extra democracy! No, I'm not talking about the recently-passed Independence Day here in the US: I'm talking about you, dear readers, for voting to narrow down this week's theme. You voted strongly in favor of […]
Burning Inquiry — The Cult of Ludevic and Sidar Kondo
I was involved in a cult once. Usually quite a calculated and reasonable man, one day I learned it was the will of Zedruu that I must submit to. Of course things began harmlessly enough: It is the will of Zedruu that you have... this . It is no longer burdened by counters. Enjoy. I will be over […]
Underdog's Corner — Basandra, Battle Seraph
This article is Round 12 of the Underdog’s Corner, a series spotlighting various lesser-used commanders and their place in the format. Each article makes the argument for a single commander that deserves more play, as well as highlighting key cards and synergies. War! What is it good for? Hello, hello, hello! And welcome to the dozenth edition […]
Ultra Budget Brews — Tibor and Lumia
Welcome back to Ultra Budget Brews, the article series that builds EDH decks where every card costs less than $1. Up to this point, the decks I brewed for this column are ones that I personally owned and played. Writing about these decks was fairly easy, because I had a decent amount of real world […]
Commander Showdown — The Locust God vs Niv-Mizzet
A Plague of Locusts Upon Your House Hour of Devastation is almost upon us, and there are some awesome preview cards on the horizon. We've seen Theros gods and Amonkhet gods before, but we've never seen plague gods. Scorpions and scarabs are terrifying, but the one that frightens me most is . This giant insect will cost you […]
Partner Focus — Reyhan, Last of the Abzan
is one lonely (and angry) warrior khan. As her comrades die around her, she rallies strength from their sacrifice and inspires the rest of the troops under her command. That inspiration is a fluid that flows from the fallen to the survivors in her presence. Whenever a creature you control dies or is put into […]
60 to 100 — Affinity for Everyone
This week we get deeply personal on 60 to 100. Not because the deck is inspired by something that I love and have played in depth. Nope. This week we're playing an archetype that I hate with a passion. As a Merfolk player in Modern there is one notoriously bad matchup that I dread. Every […]
Hour of Devastation EDH Review — Red
You read this byline correctly, it is I, Jason Alt, long-time behind-the-scenes manager of content on this site, contributing a piece to EDHREC. And why not? Our other authors writing an EDH review of the cards in Hour of Devastation looked like so much fun that I had to try it for myself. I chose […]
Low Market — Hondens Enchantress
Horde of Notions art by Adam Rex When you build as many strange decks as I do, you might start to notice a trend: why are all these oddball concepts turning five-color? Five-color voltron, five-color superfriends (i.e. planeswalkers), five-color spellslinger– sometimes, you just want it all. Today on Low Market, we will have it all: […]
