          1. Rare/Mythic sorted by edhrec relevancy:

    6. Ep 58 Community Spotlight:
      1. Deck genesis story
        1. I’ve always loved the Hondens from Champions of Kamigawa.(2004)
        2. I was inspired by a patron Michael Borchik (@MBorchik) to build a Kenrith deck, specifically with a less than perfect mana base. I decided to go ahead and make it a 5-color enchantress deck, with all 5 of the Hondens in it.
          1. This solved a couple of problems the Kenrith deck had.
            1. I had to run too many tutors to reliably find the shrines
            2. Kenrith didn’t really interact well with the shrines
            3. Talk about how cool Sisay is, and how she does all the things a shrine deck would want.
          3. I sent email to myself to look at Sisay in the morning. Also, I included Kethis, Enduring Renewal, Estrid’s Invocation, Mirage Mirror,  Sterling Grove, Privileged Position, Fountain Watch, Teshar (this was wrong, I was thinking of Shalai, and that’s also wrong) and Captain Sisay. Many of these didn’t make the final cut.
        3. I was just planning on updating my Kenrith Deck, and adding in the 6 new Shrines, but one night I was drifting off to sleep, and I had an idea. Sisay, Weatherlight Captain!
        1. The Shrines all scale as you get more shrines, kinda like the Slivers of enchantments. This will give you inevitability if the game goes long enough, and if there aren’t many “destroy all enchantments” effects.
          1. Do this live
        2. Let’s rank the original Hondens from worst to first in Commander
          1. Do this live
        3. Let’s do the same thing with the new Sanctums
      3. So, what makes this deck so cool?
        1. Protection
          1. Sterling Grove
          2. Privileged Position
          3. Greater Auramancy
          4. Fountain Watch 
          5. Creeping Renaissance
          1. NOTE: Technically, you do NOT need to run these, because Sanctum of Tranquil Light is a single mana, and fetchable with Sisay before she is pumped up. 
          2. Sword of the Chosen
          3. Shadowspear
          4. Sword of the Animist
          5. Blackblade Reforged
          6. Okina, Temple to the Grandfathers
        3. Sisay Enablers
          1. Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain (gonna be nuts in this deck)
          2. Niambi, Esteemed Speaker
          3. Various Enchantresses
        4. Card Draw
          1. Jhoira's Familiar
          2. Honor-Worn Shaku
        5. Ramp
          1. Captain Sisay
          2. Primeval’s Glorious Rebirth (Discuss if Eerie Ultimatum is just better?)
          3. Urza’s Ruinous Blast
        6. Legends Matter
          1. Raff Capashen, Ship’s Mage
          2. Thran Temporal Gateway
          3. Weatherlight
        7. Historic Matters
          1. Meishin, the Mind Cage
          2. Profane Procession
          3. Search for Azcanta
          4. Teferi's Ageless Insight
          5. Oath of Kaya
        8. Other cool Legendary Cards
          1. Vernal Equinox
          2. Paradox Haze (Doesn’t work with 5/6 of the new Sanctums, but really cool with 1 of the 6!)
        9. Other cards
      4. Other Categories of cards
    7. Main Topic -Sisay Shrines Deck Tech
      1. What a cool deck! Full of awesome interactions, and legendary cards. Also, it’s totally on point Flavor-wise (I mean there are THREE weatherlight Captains in this list…). To audience land, what cards would you put in here? Is this the kinda deck you would play?

    7. Ep 57 Community Spotlight:
      1. PJ give a brief synopsis of what kind of content you create, and why folks should check it out
      2. What do we like most about creating content?
      3. What do we like least about creating content?
        1. Each of us talk about why
          1. Ryan - It started as a way to kind of keep a record for my kids (hence the #MtGDad moments every episode). Also, Magic is something I’m very passionate about.
      4. Why do we each create content?
        1. How much time do we each spend on the content we create each week?
          1. PJ
          2. Zack - 2ish recording, 2ish editing (4-6 when it’s video), unknown on twitter, various amounts of time for graphic design, various amounts mailing things. 1-hour planning episode with Ryan, 1 hour if writing show notes
          3. Ryan - 2ish hours on the night we record, 1 hour planning the show (more if it involves building a deck). 1 hour proofing the show each week. 1 hour uploading the show. There are lots of other various time things as well.
      5. Creating content takes time
        1. The Magic community is pretty friggin awesome
        2. When you create content consistently with another person, you really develop a special bond
        3. You get to know a lot of really awesome people, both other content creators, and your listeners/viewers
        4. It’s really cool the first time you meet, or interact with someone who you’ve helped make their life better (even if it’s just in some small way)
        5. You get to learn...like a LOT. I’ve always been a lifelong learner, and there’s pretty much no end to the stuff you can learn. Audio, video, lighting, web design, how to use social media, technology, woodworking, you name it.
      6. What makes creating content worth it?
        1. Find a co-host(s) you have chemistry with, who you can trust, who are committed (unless of course you’re doing a 1-person show)
        2. Figure out the name. Seriously, take a LOT of time with this. We were almost “Commander Onramp”.(no we weren’t -z)
        3. Register the domain, look to see if there is anything else out there, past or present with the same/similar name
        4. Get accounts on all of the social media sites, Twitter, Instagram, Gmail account, patreon, Youtube, the sky is the limit here. Also, keep current with new social media things as they come about, and register those accounts.
        5. Figure out a schedule you can commit to and BE CONSISTENT
          1. we used LogoOrbit, and it can be pretty costly. There are cheaper alternatives out there, fiver, etc etc
          2. We placed our initial order for about $150 on April 29th, 2019. We Finished up with them on June 14th, and we must have gone back and forth like 50 times. We think it was worth the time and effort
          3. We were willing to spend the time and money on getting a good logo, because this wasn’t our first podcast and we knew we were going to be in it for the long haul.
          4. You can always rebrand later, but you definitely want a logo before you ever publish your first episode
        6. Get a logo
        7. Make your content available EVERYWHERE. We use libsyn to do this.
        8. PJ - Anything especially important with YouTube?
        9. It will take TIME before you get a regular set of listeners/viewers. Like even more time than you think (probably, I’m sure there are other stories out there about someone becoming an overnight success). Be patient,
        10. Be active on social media!
        11. It will take a while to get good. Creating content is like any other skill, Playing Guitar, Playing Magic, Sewing, whatever. I know I was SOOOO self-conscious in the beginning. I am, and probably always will be my harshest critic, but you can’t let that stop you if creating content is truly something you want to do.
        12. Not every episode will be great. Trust us! However, each episode is likely something you can learn from. If you do this, and constantly strive to get better, you WILL get better over time.
      7. Tips for people thinking about starting a podcast/youtube channel
    8. Main Topic -Content Creation
      1. Creating content is NOT easy, but it CAN be worth it. What are some questions folks out in Audience Land have about creating content? Did you like this episode that was a lot less about playing Magic?

    7. Ep 55 Community Spotlight:
      1. We tried to build a mutate infect deck a while back and the results weren’t great, so I went back to the drawing board after seeing Coyle from Guardian Project Podcast. This time we’re focusing mostly on mutate and swinging more than we are infect, but you know me, there’s still a tiny bit of infect for the funsies. 
      2. Deck List: https://archidekt.com/decks/617252#Mutate_for_Days
        1. Discuss
      3. Commander: Otrimi, the Ever-Playful or Brokkos 
        1. Mention how fun (and maybe how expensive it was) to play with the comic book style art.
        2. Only 446 Decks on EDHrec at time of recording
        3. Highlight some of the cool things this deck can do!
      4. Why would a listener want to play this deck?

    6. Ep 52 Community Spotlight:
      1. Commander death and exile triggers rules change
        1. Why do we think this is?
          1. Maybe because Commander is a way to express yourself, and that’s something people need now more than ever
          2. I’ve had more time to talk with folks while we play, and I’ve gotten to know more people, more intimately
          3. There’s almost always this time after the game, where we all turn the cameras to our faces, and just chat. Find out what things folks are struggling with in their lives, and hear their successes 
      2. Commander is an inherently social game, and we’ve seen the community come together during these trying times.
        1. It’s cool that we are getting to play with so many people we would rarely get to play with. We’ve gotten to play with many patrons, and it feels like a silver lining
        2. Shout out to SpellTable for developing a platform designed specifically for playing Magic via webcam
        3. Getting to play decks that are not part of our normal Meta
      3. Webcam magic becoming the new norm
        1. Let’s talk about it
      4. Erin got a chance to play in CFB’s CommandFest Online
      5. Finance
    7. Main Topic - The Positive Power of Commander

     

    •  “Second, it seems that the bigger card stores (f.i. SCG) have a small amount of available stock of popular cards left. Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, people will have more logistical trouble selling their collections at LGS's but also at MagicFests and other venues. This could result in a lower supply of secondary market cards. The demand for popular cards could surpass the supply much faster than during normal circumstances. This causes the stock to dry up and prices to rise due to organic demand. Not because cards are in higher demand, but in lower supply. Do note that this is speculation on my part, based on what I see and hear on the socials.”
