Battlebond Commander Review May 31, 2018

Naru Meha, Master Wizard May 25, 2018

Show notes

This is one is kinda short, because, well... Naru Meha is the worst. But really, she is a dangerous commander. Andy walks through the combo potential this wizard from Dominaria brings to the commander table. She's not exactly flexible, but what she does do, well, it's just better if everyone get out of the way and let her do it. Check out our deck lists on Tapped Out: https://tappedout.net/users/LegendaryCreature-Podcast/mtg-decks/ Music this episode is from the always awesome artist Home. The album is Resting State.

Mill: Commander Themes May 18, 2018

Show notes

Do you have a friend who just doesn't quite seem to be with it? He or she are present but not really contributing. They might have a mill deck. To get them help, please visit www.PhenaxDeceivedMeToo.com. This could be a matter of, well, we'd say life and death, but they're really not doing anything to life totals, because they keep trying to mill everyone... But it is a matter. In this episode, Kyle explains mill themes and the many pitfalls of the strategy. Have a listen to explore the nuance of milling to win, milling for benefits--this is definitely the highly deductible of win cons--and all about nonbos and making sure your mill theme has an accountant to check your numbers. For those interested, here's a Phenax deck that exhibits a good number of things we talked about this episode: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/all-hail-the-ancient-crab/#c3318816 And here's a good article from EDHREC that talks a little about mill in Muldrotha: http://articles.edhrec.com/commander-focus-muldrotha-the-gravetide/ It's also worth checking out Sidisi, Brood Tyrant on EDHREC for a cursory glance at self-mill in context: https://edhrec.com/commanders/sidisi-brood-tyrant Music this episode is from Protector 101. Big thanks for letting us ride the new retro wave while we talk EDH. This episode has the song Desire from the Neoncholy album.

Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain May 11, 2018

Show notes

Jhoira showed up from Dominaria with her magic bus: the Weatherlight. She's calling all students of Izzet to get on board and buckle up their seat belts. Most Izzet players have been clamoring for a commander to pilot and artifact build. Well you got one. But is it what you wanted? One of our dedicated listeners (twitter.com/thebiga641) sent us a cool non-stax, hate artifacts build: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/jhoira-hates-all/?cb=1524755086 Andy takes a brief tour of the idea of hate arifacts with Jhoira and then dives into how Jhoira is really asking for a narrow build when it comes to maximizing her ability. Listen and find out what Andy brewed. Check out any of our deck lists on Tapped Out: https://tappedout.net/users/LegendaryCreature-Podcast/mtg-decks/ Mr. Frizzle has the Weatherlight magic bus jamming to the beats of Dan Terminus this episode. The song is Retrieving Apparent Magnitude from The Darkest Benthic Division album. Go to Bandcamp, check him out, and support the craft. Here's his Bandcamp page (https://dan-terminus.bandcamp.com/).

Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle May 04, 2018

Show notes

Cuckaw!!! Teshar needs to be your new favorite bird cleric. And probably mono-white commander. This episode, freshly minted on Cinco de Cuatro, is bringing some chicken dance flavor to your commander table. Kyle explores Teshar, one of the many new commander possibilities that comes from the latest set: Dominaria. Listen as he talks to Andy about how this commander pilots a very stable combo engine, the likes of which we have yet to see in mono-white. Here's Kyle's Teshar deck list: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/kyles-teshar-the-unexpected-virtue-of-ignorance/ This episode has intro and outro beats by the artists Home and Dan Terminus. Please check out both of them out. Here's Home on Bandcamp (https://home96.bandcamp.com/). And Here's Dan Terminus on Bandcamp Big shout out to Mikey Patch for all our art work!

Dominaria Commander Review... Fer Realz Apr 26, 2018

Show notes

Damn there are a lot of cards for EDH players that come to us from Dominaria! Andy and Kyle talked a whole bunch of Dominaria after the leak, because there was just a ton of stuff leaked. And considering the impact this set has on our format, how could they not talk about it. But here's the official review. Andy and Kyle break down the legendary creatures that stand out as competitive or fun new commanders. They also talk other cards that we could see make a debut in the format. If you're a commander player, you need to pay attention to Dominaria. But hopefully you didn't buy a booster box like Kyle and Andy, desperate to get that sweet, yet somehow unattainable Boros commander. Are you riding the new retro wave? You should let Protector 101 sweep you up with their beats. This episode has the song Late Night Drive from the Protector 101 album. Here's his Bandcamp page: https://protector101.bandcamp.com/ Big shout out to Mikey Patch for all our art work! Check his stuff out (http://irontree.deviantart.com/).

Firesong and Sunspeaker Apr 20, 2018

Show notes

Do you love Boros? Yeah? Well, there must be something wrong with you. But so does Kyle. He keeps smashing his head against that commander wall called Boros too. Andy and Kyle take a look at Firesong and Sunspeaker, your exclusive Boros commander you can only get with a pre-order of a booster box. Which, can we just all acknowledge how fucking lame that is. I mean, dear WotC gods, please keep making Magic: the Gathering. But this is a lame move. But keep making magic. But this is lame. But I love magic... Find out what cards Kyle and Andy both brought to the table for this commander that takes a new approach to Boros with a spell slinger twist. Oh, have we mentioned how awesome Protector 101 is? This episode has the song Lana from the album Neoncholy. Here's his Bandcamp page: https://protector101.bandcamp.com/ Big shout out to Mikey Patch for all our art work!

Spell Slingin': Commander Themes Apr 13, 2018

Show notes

Some games aren't for the feint of heart. Sometimes you've just gotta challenge your best Little Finger and find out if chaos really is a ladder. You're probably more likely to get your throat cut, but if you love the view when you climb the ladder with instants and sorceries, this is the episode for you. Andy takes a dive into the commanders who are best suited for a spelling slinger strategy and takes a really close look at all the support your deck will need to just maybe go the distance. Spell slingin' can be an incredibly effective strategy if you have the guts and develop the eye for when to play your strategy. Be sure to support Protector 101. This episode flew in and out on the dark wings of his beats. Here's his Bandcamp page: https://protector101.bandcamp.com/ Big shout out to Mikey Patch for all our art work!

+1/+1 Counters: Commander Themes Apr 06, 2018

Show notes

Kyle takes a dive into the far too broad realm of +1/+1 counters as a commander deck theme. Despite the presence of the size gaining counters in most colors, Kyle and Andy take a look at the color combos primed to take advantage of counters. They also explore the commander best suited to abuse +1/+1 counters. If you're using +1/+1 counters in your commander deck, it may be a good time to stop cultivating mass and start harvesting! Big fatties may prove less fruitful than combos and synergies. Listed to find out how Kyle and Andy are taking mass cultivating, +1/+1 counter hogging fiends and harvesting big benefits. Take action before your deck gets type II diabetes. Here are the resources that Andy used as he gathered info for this episode: https://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/commander-edh/multiplayer-commander-decklists/216372-ghave-guru-of-spores-now-with-100-more-combos https://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/commander-edh/199813-compiled-list-of-experiment-kraj-combos http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ezuri-claw-of-combos/ https://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/commander-edh/multiplayer-commander-decklists/217233-vorel-of-the-hull-clade-counters-everywhere The intro/outro beats this episode are by the Home.

Artifacts: Commander Themes Mar 30, 2018

Show notes

It's time for another series! Kyle and Andy will be spending a few episodes talking about some popular deck themes and some of the core driving principles in how commander players take advantage of and have fun with those themes. This week, Andy takes us into the bowels of his jank-ass pursuit of artifact doom-machines. Do you ever just want to build weird shit that nobody seems to understand when you play commander? Do you feel like you're explaining how bilateral kelilactirals to knuckle-dragging neanderthals when you realize you've won the game? Well, this is the episode for you. Listen as Andy talks about the commanders to use for an artifact themed deck and takes a deep dive into the wonky combos and interactions you can build when you go the artifact route. Here are the resources that Andy used as he gathered info for this episode: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/goblin-artifacts-11-08-13-1/ http://puremtgo.com/articles/budget-commander-slobad-goblin-tinkerer http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/daretti-the-degenerate/ The intro/outro beats this episode are by the Home. The song is Head First from the Falling Into Place album. Support his craft. Check out his music. We love him for being so gracious, as to let us use his tunes.
