Welcome to another very special episode of Commander ad Populum. Commander for the people, by the people, for the people.

This week's Community section I extend my thanks to all the listeners, supporters, those who submitted show topics, deck lists, sponsors and everyone else that has made Commander ad Populum possible! The last year of solo podcasting have been a pleasure. Here's to another year of interacting with the people, for the people.

The Technical section this week looks at mechanics that were introduced in the set Mirrodin. Affinity, Entwine and Equipment.

Today's set Retrospective highlights: Mirrodin! One of the most broken sets of all time! We look back on a time when Magic was suffering very badly from players leaving the game. A time when there was nothing like Commander to keep player engaged until the next standard rotation.

If you'd like to give me your thoughts on today's topics, hit me up on Twitter @CadPopCast. You can find me on Facebook, here: Facebook.com/CadPopCast. Both the Twitter and Facebook feeds have threads for each episode of Commander ad Populum. Let me know what you think.

If you'd like to support Commander ad Populum or my altered art Magic card business, you can pledge on Patreon, here: Patreon.com/CadPopCast. There are a bunch of great benefits associated with being a patron. Especially if you're into altered art cards!

Big thank you to the official sponsor of Commander ad Populum, Fusion Gaming for making this episode, and future episodes possible!
