Being able to pick and choose how you clear the board and keeping your own higher mana value pieces intact without having to rely on the nuclear options like Farewell and Austere Command could prove beneficial as well. Selective wiping can mean you come out on top. If only this card had flash ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

He’s the big boss of the Cabaretti from Streets of New Capenna and he just wants to party and have a good time!

Being the one person at the table that doesn’t get to play their deck isn’t fun, so is focusing more on making sure you actually get to play the cards you draw a bad design decision?

Did you realize that Jeweled Lotus needs to tap in order to activate its ability? Making it enter tapped is a huge tempo loss for commanders that want to get out early and start doing powerful things right away.

We’ll definitely want to be prepared to do a bit of bookkeeping with all of the different triggers that will be going off, but it’s worth it when we’re practically drowning in mana, card advantage, and +1/+1 counters.

Who better to guide you through empowering your holy host than I? Don’t answer that!

Today’s commander is a real femme fatale, hailing from 2021’s Innistrad: Crimson Vow. Olivia, Crimson Bride focuses on a Rakdos reanimator strategy that rewards you for turning creatures sideways during the combat step. This can have deadly results.

Whether you want to call it power creep, innovation in game design, or anything else, there are a lot of commanders from recent years that just feel like they warp the game when they’re on the battlefield.

I’m already looking forward to being there and meeting and playing with Magic fans from all over…

…but there is one thing to think about: I need to make sure that I’m prepared!

In this article, I wanted to take a look at some of the highlights from the event. I also wanted to get some insight from an experienced MagicCon attendee, so I enlisted the help of Rebell Son.

The difference between a really strong BC deck and an unedited precon is still there, and I think Firkraag is the perfect middle ground. There’s only five cuts I’d make if I was going to make changes to it.

Each of these cards has their own use in some way shape or form, and if you know your local pod relies on turning creatures sideways to load up on umpteen combat or attack-related triggers at which point they reach critical mass, surprise them next time.

You need untapped lands to do that though, sorry. Only Alela gets to play at instant speed ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

I just hope that Korlag manages to stay safe, because he must be protected at all costs.

Today’s article was my opportunity to sit down with Nathan and chat about attending Magic conventions and get to know him a little better.

Among these, there exists a card that has generated some buzz among cEDH players, a new Dimir Faerie Noble commander that allows you to pick a number. That certainly sounds pretty fun.

The community is what’s keeping Legacy alive, and if there’s anything I can say after this weekend, it’s that Legacy is alive, thriving, and just so much fun right now.

Chief: Let’s be serious. Some people would also rather lose to a Glacial Chasm than have any way to remove it.

Exxaxl: All decks should pass the Glacial Chasm test.

I’m obligated to mention that the brand new borderless artwork for Champion’s Helm depicts Commander players who were waiting around for the card to get a reprint... Paolo Parente knocked this one out of the park.
