The Worst Mistakes Commander Players Make + Baldur’s Gate First Impressions | Command Zone Live #01 Apr 04, 2022

Show notes

This is the upload of a live episode that we recorded on 03/29/22:

Everyone has holes in their game, mistakes and miscalculations that can really hold you back. The insidious thing about these errors is we often don’t realize we’re making them, so we repeat the same missteps over and over again. On this episode, Jimmy and Josh discuss The Worst Mistakes Commander Players Make and how you can recognize and avoid them.

Plus, we take QnA from our live audience and take some time to give our first impressions of the cards that were recently previews for the upcoming Commander Legends: Baldur’s Gate.
