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

In this week's Community section I tackle a Facebook topic request. I discuss an argument as old as time. Is it better to buy singles, or sealed product. This drove me to touch on how Magic can influence our decision making process when it comes to budget and personal finances as well. Please let me know if you'd like to hear more on how Magic can influence those parts of our lives!

The Technical section this week looks at mechanics that were introduced in the set Champions of Kamigawa. The leading set in Kamigawa Block had a ton going on. It's mechanics were Splice, Soulshift and Bushido.

Today's set Retrospective highlights: Champions of Kamigawa! As the first set in the Kamigawa Block, Champions brought with it the flavor and feel of ancient Japan. This was Magic's first pastiche world setting. Kamigawa helped pave the way for many more sets that explored real-world history.

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.
