Commander ad Populum, Ep 289 - Persistence and Failure in MTG

This week's community topic is one that I don't think anyone thinks about but take some part in, every time they sit down with Magic on the mind. Do you build more decks? Or do you tweak and tune more decks? Which is more important? Come hear my thoughts on the whole matter.Support on Patreon, here: Patreon.com/CadPopCast.

With everything that's being going on with the Commander Cookout Media Group over the past few months, it's been very difficult to strike the right balance of work and play.
